Chapter 343: Zhou Sheng Reappears
At night, in a forest in Sichuan.
The moonlight tonight is not very bright, and the forest is pitch black, and you can hardly see anything.
rustle……
Kan Jingua walked out of the jungle, looked around, found a small stone and sat down.
"It cannot alleviate the suffering of the common people, nor save the countless dead from famine. It only leaves behind the fictitious Shanglin Fu, and cultivates those who cling to the rich and powerful for fame and fortune..."
As the minor tune started playing, Kan Jinggua sang the song leisurely.
The not-so-bright moonlight was cut into pieces by the branches and leaves, falling palely and weakly into the woods.
"Humph, you have time to spare."
Kan Jingua stopped singing, glanced to the side, and said with a smile: "Hey, brother, you come and go without a trace, it's a good thing I'm brave, otherwise I would be scared to death by you."
Zhou Sheng emerged from the shadows and said, "If your brother Kan is frightened to death, then there will be no brave people in this world."
"Hey, thank you for the compliment."
Zhou Sheng moved his fingers, and a stone emerged from the ground. He then sat on it and said, "How was your trip to Ailao Mountain?"
Kan Jingua laughed and said, "Interesting. Aside from not being able to meet your junior Zhang Wuling, I'm quite satisfied with the rest."
"You'd better stay away from that kid." Zhou Sheng warned.
"Why, are you afraid that I will bully him?"
"You? Bullying him?" Zhou Sheng rolled his eyes. "I'm just afraid that guy will slap you to death. I won't be collecting your body then."
Kan Jinguai laughed heartily. "It was just a joke, but I'm really curious about how strong this junior of yours is. Feng Yunshan and the six demons were all defeated by him. It's unbelievable."
Zhou Sheng said calmly, "If you're really curious, you can try it yourself when you get a chance. If you get beaten to the point of doubting your life, don't blame me for not telling you in advance."
"I think I shouldn't be that weak."
"Heh, that kid is stronger than you think."
"Alright, alright." Kan Jinguai waved his hand. "We're not meeting today to chat about this. What's the matter with you risking your life to come to me?"
Zhou Sheng's expression turned serious, and he said, "Old Gu and I have noticed some changes in the situation."
"Oh?" Kan Jinguai raised his eyelids slightly, "What did you two see?"
Zhou Shengdao said, "I calculated a hexagram and came to the conclusion that 'Geng overcomes Jia, the White Tiger offends the master; Yin and Yang switch places, the Dao pivot is renewed'!"
Kan Jingua's expression remained unchanged as he asked, "What did Brother Gu say?"
"He also saw the changes, but strangely, the lines on the paper disappeared outside the grid. If he tried to forcibly peek, he might be killed..."
Kan Jingua nodded: "So, you came to me to ask about the situation here?"
"That's right. Lao Gu and I are both sorcerers. I want to see if you, the fortune teller, can give me some different answers."
Kan Jingua didn't speak immediately. Instead, he put his hands into the sleeves of his gown, closed his eyes slightly, and after about a minute or so, he said, "The evil spirit has entered the game, and the owl god has taken away the food..."
"Your calculations were correct. Something unexpected has indeed happened. Moreover, this 'guest' is quite vicious and has an unusual background."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Sheng asked in a deep voice, "Can you tell who it is?"
Kan Jingua laughed: "Brother, although I am a fortune teller, the numerology and divination are basically the same. Numerology is the body, and divination is the use. If you two can't see it, don't count on me."
"It is said that the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. No matter whether it is your Fenghou Qimen or Brother Gu's Daluo Dongguan, we are all human in essence. As long as we are human, we can't guess the sky or the earth."
"In history, even figures like Zhuge Liang were unable to change their fate. How can mediocre people like you and me still dream of changing the tide of events? Let's just go with the flow."
Zhou Sheng looked at Kan Jingua and snorted coldly, "You're a fortune teller, but changing fate against the will of heaven is something you're good at."
"Hey... man, are you taking my boasting seriously?"
Kan Jingua shook his head helplessly: "In our line of work, we often deceive outsiders. We tell lies more often than the truth. Even when we tell the truth, it's like a blind fortune teller counting on his fingers. We try to keep as much as we can."
Zhou Sheng remained silent because he knew that what the other party said was not wrong.
"Well, we can only take it one step at a time."
Kan Jingu said, "Don't worry so much, brother. The universe is the master plan, and all living beings are chess pieces. What can ordinary people like you and me do?"
"Besides, you, Wu Tian, have the destiny, and your backing is so strong, what are you afraid of?"
"Aren't you afraid?" Zhou Sheng said with a wry smile, "Back then, I just went to check on the Fourth Brother, but ended up causing my two Junior Brothers to fall into the clutches of the Three Corpses. Heaven is merciless, and I'm afraid there's no escaping fate..."
Kan Jingu said, "Their obsession was too deep. Even without Zhu Tan, they would have trapped Feng Hou to death in the end. Rather than saying Zhu Tan killed them, it's better to say that the Three Corpses killed them. Rather than saying that the Three Corpses killed them, it's better to say that their obsession killed them. But in the end, it was they themselves who dug the grave they buried themselves in."
"People who follow the great Dao are called Taoists. As a Taoist, if one strays from the great Dao, fails to cultivate one's nature and life, and becomes obsessed with external techniques, and ultimately loses the Dao and dies, who can one blame?"
"Blame me..." Zhou Sheng's eyes darkened. "If I hadn't brought Feng Hou Qimen back to the sect, how could these things have happened? In the end, it was me who harmed my fellow apprentices."
After all, Zhou Sheng had not expected that Fenghou Qimen was so dangerous. After all, he felt that this thing was not difficult and was quite powerful, so he brought it back to his master with great enthusiasm, hoping to add a foundation to Wudang.
Well, this thing is like arsenic coated in sugar. Anyone who eats it will die, except him.
Zhou Sheng really didn't expect that no one else could learn it except him!
It's like you happily teach your child to recite the multiplication table, hoping to improve his or her math calculation ability, but the child goes crazy with it. Anyone would be confused by this.
No, it’s just the multiplication table. Can someone go crazy studying such a simple multiplication table?
All I can say is that what is the multiplication table to Zhou Sheng may be the "Lectures on Physical Mechanics" in the eyes of others.
Numerology is just like mathematics. The good ones are really good, and the bad ones are really bad.
If you don't have talent, you should just accept your fate when it comes to math, physics, and chemistry...
If you can stay awake in class and pass the exams, you are a good student.
"So," Kan Jinguai showed curiosity, "how did you come up with these eight unique skills back then?"
"Do you think I can say that?" Zhou Sheng rolled his eyes unhappily.
"Yeah, I forgot." Kan Jingua stood up from the stone. "Okay, the past is the past. We've been out for long enough. If we don't go back, we might get into trouble."
Zhou Sheng nodded: "Okay, please keep an eye on it for me. Contact me anytime if you have any questions."
"Easy to say."
Zhou Sheng turned around and jumped, turning into a bird and flying away.
Kan Jingua withdrew his gaze, but did not leave as he had said before.
"People are gone, come out."
A human face appeared on a nearby fir tree, and then the figure peeled off from the tree and came in front of Kan Jingua.
"You deliberately?"
Kan Jingua smiled lightly: "Well, am I sincere?"
"I'm now considering whether to believe what you said before."
"My advice then is - you better believe it."
