Time flows like a long river, ceaselessly.
Days passed, and the cold wave in the Northern Territory became increasingly strong. After spilling over into Qingyuan Prefecture's Ping'an County, the people felt it getting colder day by day, as if to completely turn this eight-hundred-mile area into an uninhabited zone, with all living things freezing to death in the snow.
But fortunately, Zhuge Xi had taken action before.
He set up a large array around Ping'an County, which not only slightly prevented the changes that the collapse of the Trapped Dragon Formation would cause to the county, but also reduced the impact of the cold wave on the county.
However, the Linyuan River outside Ping'an County is gradually unsealing. News has come that some sections of the river are even bubbling like boiling water, extremely hot, and the fish in the river are also beginning to recover in this change,
Full of vitality.
As if it were an ordinary season.
"Pfft, this river is really interesting. Could it be that a dragon really fell here once?" By the Linyuan River, a young man wearing a bamboo hat and a Confucian robe was fishing, marveling.
He looked at Zhuge Xi next to him and asked curiously:
"How is it? Did you catch anything good?"
Zhuge Xi's face darkened upon hearing this, and he asked in confusion:
"You came all the way from the academy just to come here to fish?"
Wang Yangming smiled slightly: "Why, can't I?"
"Heh heh, your purpose is definitely not simple."
Zhuge Xi chuckled and directly confronted him.
Although he was very clear that he definitely couldn't beat the guy in front of him, this didn't prevent him from not wanting to give this guy who suddenly jumped out and dragged him to fish a good look.
"Don't be unhappy."
"Fishing is like life, you must learn to wait."
Wang Yangming smiled, narrowing his eyes.
"In ancient times, there were sages who fished without hooks, waiting for those who were willing to be caught."
"But I don't think you have the foundation of a sage."
Zhuge Xi responded indifferently.
He pointed to the fishing rod in Wang Yangming's hand. The end of the fishing line that was lowered into the water didn't even have a hook, and it swayed slightly with the direction of the water flow, as if drifting with the current.
"Pfft, how come I don't remember the people of the Zhuge family being so sharp-tongued? Don't you know not to expose other people's shortcomings? Or are you saying that your initial choice to leave the academy was to stay in this small place and turn yourself into a true country bumpkin?"
Wang Yangming raised his eyebrows with a smile:
"Zhuge Xi, you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me. You clearly had a great future in the academy, with famous teachers teaching you, but you insisted on leaving halfway and coming here with Yuan Xingkong."
"I heard that the people of the Zhuge family are extremely good at observing the stars and divination."
"Tell me, what exactly did you divine?"
Zhuge Xi was silent for a moment, then sneered:
"Why should I tell you?"
"Yuan Xingkong shouldn't be that charming."
"Could it be because of the Eternal Calamity Underworld?"
"But I checked the academy's classics and found that in the four borders of Da Li, there are many places like this that suppress the connection to the extraterritorial world. Even if this place is special, it shouldn't be so special that it would make you, the proud son of the Zhuge family, give up a great future."
Zhuge Xi suddenly fell silent.
After a moment, he spoke, also with a smile:
"Since you're so curious, why not do a divination yourself? With your talent and knowledge, you must have learned the Book of Changes. Why not calculate the future of this place?"
Wang Yangming smiled faintly and said:
"When I came, I calculated my personal future. Good and bad are both in the north, which is probably here. And if I calculate the future of this place, it's probably about the same, half good and half bad."
But very quickly.
After his divination, he frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.
"Strange, why is the heavenly secret of this place in a state of chaos?"
Zhuge Xi smiled when he saw this: "Now you know, right?"
He felt somewhat happy in his heart.
How depressed he was when Su Han, this variable, stirred up the heavenly secret into chaos and disrupted his layout, that's how happy he is now.
Finally, someone can understand his feelings.
"Looks like you know the reason?"
Wang Yangming asked curiously. He came to this place actually feeling uninterested. He was just thrown over by his teacher. After all, even if this place is special, it's just so-so in his eyes.
Can being special compare to the academy, compare to the land of the Divine Capital?
That place is the true gathering place of luck, where all kinds of things in the world converge. If viewed in terms of rivers and mountains and dragon veins, the land of the Divine Capital is undoubtedly in the position of the dragon's head, incomparably precious.
But even in that place, with his divination skills, he could calculate something, not to the point where the heavenly secret is directly in a state of chaos like it is now, making it impossible to calculate.
He had encountered this kind of situation before.
Most of the time, it was because a great power had interfered with the heavenly secret.
But he couldn't sense the aura of a great power in this place.
"I naturally know, but why should I tell you?"
Zhuge Xi asked back with a smile.
"Even if you don't tell me, I can probably guess."
"It's because of some kind of variable, right."
?
Wang Yangming responded with a smile.
As an excellent academy student, he was very clear about what kind of situations would cause the heavenly secret to be in a state of chaos. Since the situation of a great power can be ruled out, then the greatest possibility is a variable.
But this place can actually have a variable that he can't calculate?
This was somewhat unexpected to him.
He was not arrogant, quite modest, but even so, he had received the evaluation of "Wenqu Star moving, suspected reincarnation of an ancient sage" from his teacher, his fate was exceptionally noble.
With such a fate, he was invincible in the field of divination.
But now he has fallen here?
"It's more than just a variable? It's simply an anomaly!"
Zhuge Xi smiled wryly upon hearing this.
On the other side, a young Taoist in a green robe was walking on the streets of Ping'an County, holding a divination banner and shouting: "Come and take a look, have a look, heavenly secret divination, no accuracy, no money."
"You little Taoist, why are you like a street vendor? And can you learn this heavenly secret divination?"
A Qingyun Prefecture martial artist passed by and said disdainfully.
Although their Xuandao Pavilion is a martial artist sect, they are also considered Taoist martial artists, and they have also practiced some heavenly secret divination, but most of them are not accurate except for those elders and ancestral figures.
But even if they are not accurate, they are from a sect.
They easily crushed those wild, Jianghu Taoists in terms of theoretical knowledge.
"The so-called good wine is also afraid of deep alleys, it doesn't matter if I call out a bit, this layperson, I see that you have a lot of Taoist affinity,
But your brows are furrowed, and you have a depressed air, could it be that you have been worried about something recently?"
The young Taoist responded with a smile, not annoyed.
"Don't talk to me about these things that may or may not be, I know very well what your tricks are, it's just face reading,
Guessing what I'm thinking through my expression, and then catering to it."
Chen Jing said indifferently, very experienced.
"But even if I expose you like this, you probably won't admit it."
"How about this, you calculate a person for me, named Su Han......"
