Chapter 993 The old blind man: He is hopeless
Lu Chen had been recalling the scenes he had seen the old blind man in the past, as well as the scenes he saw in the Reincarnation Lake. His father said that the old blind man had predicted fortunes for him.
He said that there was a great calamity when he was eighteen years old, but there were also noble people who could survive that calamity and live a long life afterwards.
Lu Chen wasn't sure whether "long life" was the original words, or it might be the processing of Lu Qiu's words. After all, the old blind man told himself that he could live a long life.
If it were just "long life", it would be too short for Lu Chen now. His life span in space would soon reach ninety.
He just kept hearing the words of the old blind man in his ears, especially the sentence "An old man never lies."
This gave Lu Chen a huge inner encouragement. If the old blind man could really see the accurate future, wouldn't it mean that he would succeed in the end? ?
Originally, he did not understand the predictions made by the old blind man, because he said that his comrades would have a happy life, but in the end they all died on the battlefield.
But the old blind man still insists that he never lies to others. Is it possible that it is because he knows that history is only going this way temporarily and will have a good ending in the end?
"Eriyi, can you help me ask the name of that senior?"
Lu Chen felt itchy in his heart. He didn't even want to see the Reincarnation Lake. He just wanted to find out what was going on with the old blind man.
The modern Eriyi asked the old blind man according to Lu Chen's instructions, speaking respectfully, "Old sir, can I ask for your name?"
The old blind man pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking seriously. After a while, he smiled and said: "As people get older, their memory fails. I have long forgotten my name."
He paused and said: "So, do you two ladies want to ask for divination? If you don't ask for divination, the old man will go down the mountain, and the money for tonight's meal has not been paid yet."
As he spoke, in the cold wind at the top of the mountain, the sound of the old blind man's stomach growling could be heard. It seemed that he was really hungry.
The old blind man touched his belly and said, "You two are laughing. Now the border war is about to break out, the price of food is soaring, and the weather is not good. Every household is living a tight life. No one is looking for fortune telling, and it is difficult to eat a meal."
Hearing this, Eriyi took out some of the delicacies they had stored for the barbecue from the storage space. Due to the special nature of the storage space, it was still hot, and handed a roasted chicken stuffed with wild mushrooms to the old blind man. , "Old sir, you can eat this first."
The old blind man took the roasted chicken, sniffed it lightly with the tip of his nose, and said with an intoxicated expression, "The craftsmanship is very good. That guy Lu Chen is very lucky."
As he spoke, he tore it into pieces with dirty hands like a roadside beggar, and devoured it hungrily.
Xia Mi once wondered whether this was a real expert. If the other person was a monk, how could he be hungry?
But the words the other party said were truly astonishing. They even included things from ancient times to the present. It was hard not to believe them.
The old blind man ate very quickly. He finished a roast chicken in three strokes and five divided by two. He wiped his mouth with some unfinished thoughts and burped.
"Old senior, I would like to ask, when can my husband and I meet again?"
Xia Mi asked for advice. No matter whether the old blind man was true or false, he should always ask more questions first.
Unexpectedly, the old blind man wiped his mouth and said, "Didn't you just meet me some time ago? You can go and meet me next time."
Xia Mi frowned slightly, "Old senior, this junior didn't mean that."
She felt uneasy in her heart. The Chu Zihang she had seen some time ago and was about to go to the Western Federation was not the Chu Zihang she wanted.
"Little girl, you mean to live, but that's not possible. We can't meet again."
The old blind man said calmly, but what he said made Xia Mi feel like he was struck by lightning.
Eryi was also a little excited, "How could it be possible? Senior, have you made a miscalculation? Senior Brother Chu is very powerful!"
The old blind man shook his head, "As the old man said, he never lies to others. This is the result of the calculation. As you know from what you saw, he has passed away."
He looked at Xia Mi meaningfully and said, "If the veteran guessed correctly, the person responsible for the history of cholera is your two husbands. Although the veteran doesn't know how you did it, they did go back to the past, but... …Those who go back to the past will eventually be buried in history.”
"What about my husband, Lu Chen? Didn't the old man say that I can reunite with him in about eight years? No way..."
Eriki hugged Xia Mi and asked Xia Mi to calm down first, then asked.
The old blind man picked his teeth, which seemed to be a bit clenched, "Lu Chen, that boy is in a special situation, so he cannot die. Among the many hexagrams, there are only a few special situations where he will die, but one or two of them have already was ruled out.”
Xia Mi is unwilling to give up. She feels that she has fallen into the trap of a fortune teller. She first makes you believe it, and then tells you that there is a big disaster, which makes you nervous.
She asked: "Then, senior, is there any way to resolve this?"
Regardless of whether it was true or false, or whether it was a routine, she hoped that the other party would say it could be resolved.
But the old blind man shook his head and said: "If you can't see it in the old Taoist hexagram, it's hopeless."
Xia Mi wanted to comfort himself that the other party was a liar, but the old blind man did seem to be very upright.
At this time, Eliyi received instructions from Chu Zihang on the group frequency and asked: "Has the old gentleman met my husband before?"
The old blind man was stunned for a moment, "Mrs. Lu, you are joking. Isn't this the first time we meet today? The old man doesn't know your husband now, but he just calculated his name and good or bad luck through divination."
He smiled again, "Would it be better to say that your husband does not exist in today's world?"
Eryi asked again under the guidance of Chu Zihang: "But didn't the old gentleman say that you can detect changes in the world line?"
"Is the world line changing? So that's what you used to say. Yes, the old Taoist can indeed detect abnormalities. He is different from the previous moment to the next moment. But that is because of the large number of changes in the hexagrams, which is against common sense, so he can infer The cause-and-effect lines of the entire world have undergone major changes.”
The old blind man said, "But the old Taoist himself feels pretty good, except that he hasn't eaten for a few days and is a little hungry."
"That is to say, old sir, you have never met Lu Chen, right?"
Eriki confirmed.
The old blind man smiled mysteriously, "It's hard to say. It doesn't exist in Lao Dao's memory. The hexagram at this moment also indicates that Lao Dao has never interacted with Lu Chen in the past, but Lao Dao also said that the world has changed, cause and effect It's been tampered with, maybe the old man and your husband have met before, but that's not necessarily the case?"
"The old man is really strict. He didn't say that he had never met Lu Chen before. He just said that he didn't know him now."
Xia Mi noticed the wording in the old blind man's words.
"Of course, I have said it before. I never lie to others. How can I say something to my death if I am not sure about it? Isn't that just damaging my own reputation?"
The old blind man smiled.
"Then my husband..."
Xia Mi asked again, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the old blind man raising his hand, "It's hopeless, he's already dead."
The veins on Xia Mi's forehead were exposed for a moment. In fact, she was not angry because of the old blind man's prediction, but because the dead idiot in the group video was still calmly asking them to ask questions.
Hey, you are the one who is going to die, why are you so calm! ?
In fact, Chu Zihang was really calm at this time. He even picked up the water at hand and took a sip. He knocked on the console while chatting with Xia Mi and the others on the group channel.
"Don't take it too seriously. Although I don't know how far divination can be done, but the old man also said that he himself is not sure whether he has seen Brother Lu. That means his divination is good. There are still flaws, so it can’t be considered a comprehensive plan, so what he said cannot be completely accurate.”
Chu Zihang said in the group channel, "Besides, I am still alive. At least at this moment, I can feel the blood flowing in my body. My life is full of vitality and my thinking has not stopped. As for the future, Lu and I The brothers will take care of it.”
"But……"
Xia Mi said worriedly.
"Relax, Brother Lu and I have never lost yet. Trust us."
Chu Zihang comforted.
Xia Mi was speechless. It was clear that the other person was the one who was going to die, but he was still comforting himself.
At this time, Eryi asked again: "Old sir, can you figure out what happened and how Brother Chu died?"
The old blind man took out a compass. There was no energy fluctuation on it, and it looked no different from Eri Yi's street stall.
He turned the compass and muttered something. After a while, he "looked" at Xia Mi and said, "There are so many ways to die. I wonder which one do you want to hear?"
Xia Mi was speechless for a moment, "What's the most likely one?"
The old blind man shook his head, "There is no maximum possibility. Although the ways of death are different, there is only one reason for his death, and that is that he played with the cause and effect of history and was liquidated by the world."
"Then what if Senior Brother Chu no longer has cholera in his history?"
Eryi asked, this was the question Lu Chen asked her to ask.
Lu Chen had also been paying attention to the situation here. Hearing that Chu Zihang was destined to die in the hexagram, he was worried. Originally, he thought it was just a small matter and that as long as the two of them stayed together, nothing would happen.
But who knew it could be so serious and that he could not escape death.
The old blind man was silent for a moment and sighed, "Judging from the divination, this young man is a very stubborn person. He will not stop easily, and he does not believe in fate."
Xia Mi felt that the old blind man was right. Chu Zihang was probably determined to help Lu Chen achieve a perfect ending and would not stop.
Moreover, Chu Zihang is a standard logical science god. He does not believe in fate. He will not give up if the old blind man cannot completely convince him to death. Moreover, Chu Zihang does not completely believe in the old blind man's words.
Taking a step back, even if what the old blind man said was true, he still thought that he could find a way out of the impossible.
Chu Zihang is the kind of ultimate lunatic who wants to help Lu Chen accomplish the impossible while also trying to survive for himself.
At this time, in the group frequency, Lu Chen hesitated, "Brother Chu, please stop doing experiments. When I come out of the original mine, we can meet and discuss it."
"Brother Lu, it's not that serious. Even if the process has to be stopped, I should be allowed to try it one last time."
Chu Zihang said thoughtfully, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Lu Chen felt uneasy. He didn't want to lose his current good brother in order to remedy the tragedy of the past.
The modern Eri and Xia Mi wanted to ask some more about the future, such as what will happen to the modern Burial Star, whether their exploration will go smoothly, etc., but the old blind man stood up from the big stone.
"I have said enough today, I still want to live a few more years."
The old blind man waved his hand, indicating that he would not continue, "I have trouble with my legs and feet. Can you two use your magical skills to send the old man down the mountain?"
"Old sir, I want to ask another question..."
Eriki wanted to stay and wanted to know if this fortune teller could give her the answer she longed for.
But the old blind man said before Eriyi could ask, "It will happen in the future."
The expression on Eriki's face changed for a moment and then calmed down. Xia Mi was a little confused and didn't know what Eriki wanted to ask.
Just as the two were about to send the old Taoist down the mountain, the strange power of cause-and-effect changes in the world line appeared. The two of them looked at each other, and Xia Mi even yelled in the group video, "How dare you play with it, you idiot!"
That's right, it was Chu Zihang who made another big operation that changed modern history again.
But this time he didn't want to see to what extent the world line would change after his adjustments, and whether it could be close to Brother Lu's ideal state, but he wanted to see what the old blind man's condition was like, and whether he still existed after the world line changed. And whether you can remember Eri and the others.
The power of changing the world line takes a few seconds to take effect. The old blind man on the top of the mountain seemed not to notice the arrival of this strange power, and even stretched.
Before his figure completely disappeared due to the change in the world line, he was blowing the cold wind on the mountaintop in winter and said something emotional, "The old man is going back to his little nest. Alas, it feels like the dark wind blowing rain into the cold window in winter." It feels so good.”
The next moment, only Eriki and Natsumi were left standing on the top of the mountain. The town in the distance was still the same, but the world was no longer the world it was a moment ago.
…………
In the God Burial Calendar, under Jun'en City, Chu Zihang stood up from the control desk and walked out of the starship carrier.
Follow the secret passage to another pavilion, where a man in black is already waiting.
"Owner."
The man in black knelt down respectfully and saluted.
Chu Zihang nodded, "Let's report."
"According to the royal family's information, the negotiations with Tianzhou Ancient Star have collapsed. Tianzhou Ancient Star may send a large number of troops to attack the God Burial Star."
Men in Black reports.
"What's the attitude of other forces?"
Chu Zihang's face was expressionless. He knew that the ancient star of Tianzhou should be the source of life where the starship carrier in his hand was located. It was a scientifically cultivated source of life and was very prosperous.
Unlike the situation in the True Dragon Star Territory, the power of Tianzhou Ancient Star depends on quantity. Perhaps the top technological weapons are not as good as the eighth-level powerhouses of God Burial Star, but Tianzhou Ancient Star can mass-produce these things.
Ten thousand years ago, the Buried God Star discovered the Ancient Star of Heaven, and the two parties have been in intermittent communication. Previously, the royal family of the Xia Kingdom had been in contact with the Ancient Star of Heaven.
Now that Tianzhou Ancient Star wants to open their technology base on the Burial God Planet and explore the ancient forbidden land of life, the royal family of Xia Kingdom will certainly not agree, and other forces will not nod, because this is a taboo in the hearts of all major forces.
Chu Zihang knew that there was a kind of human being on the ancient planet of Tianzhou, a white race.
