Chapter 392 Everything Is Determined by Fate
"Come here!" Chen Changgeng shouted loudly and took action subconsciously.
He stepped on the Bagua and pushed out with both palms. The strong wind overflowed and the changes were endless. The shadows of his palms filled the sky, like a dragnet.
At this time, he saw the "Yuanshi Tianzun" opposite him waving his right hand in an ordinary way. The whole person's aura was vast and vast, as if he came from eternity ago and was with the years.
The five fingers are slender and as white as jade. The moves are simple but seem to be close to some unchanging law between heaven and earth. They cut into Chen Changgeng's palm gestures with mysterious positions and angles.
The air flow was disturbed and they were directed towards the palm one after another. The palm shadow like a dragnet was retracted and returned to two ordinary hands.
Bang, the right hand of "Yuanshi Tianzun" hit the palms of Chen Changgeng's hands. He suddenly felt that both hands were paralyzed. His body unbelievably moved forward instead of retreating. He involuntarily took a few steps forward, bumped into a chair, and fell. Sitting on it, looking at "Yuanshi Tianzun" across the small table.
"Almsgiver Chen, can you talk properly now?" Meng Qi asked in a voice that sounded majestic and vicissitudes of life.
Chen Changgeng's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He looked at the strong but not clear-jointed hands of "Yuanshi Tianzun", turned to his personal guard who had not yet had time to take action and said: "Go out and guard, don't let others in."
Others refer to the masters of the family who came upon hearing his call.
After giving the instructions, he smiled and said, "I wonder why you are here?"
"More than three years ago, did you send a servant to bury a corpse in a mass grave?" Meng Qi asked bluntly.
Here it comes... Chen Changgeng's expression changed, his heart trembled for a moment, and then he smiled bitterly: "Yes, I have been worried about this matter for a long time, and I am finally relieved today."
"Did you kill him?" Meng Qiyun changed the magic of heaven and earth, sensing Chen Changgeng's emotions.
"No!" Chen Changgeng denied without hesitation, "Late that night, on a whim, I wanted to go to Yanliu Lane for fun. Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the side door, I found a man lying on the ground. He held up a lantern and took a closer look. It was a completely innocent person. Breathing male corpse."
"His face was pale, almost green, and he had been dead for about an hour. There were no obvious fresh wounds on his body, and there were no signs of evil. His shoes and clothes were placed next to him, all neatly, like Come to my door alone, take off your clothes and shoes, lie down quietly, and wait for death."
"This thing is too weird. I was afraid of being blamed, and worried about causing many troubles in the future, so I didn't notify the six doors, and ordered the servants to burn the clothes and shoes, and carry the body to a mass grave for burial. Later, I often got arrested because of this incident. I wake up in the middle of the night, fearing that something bad will come to my door.”
Chen Changgeng was a little worried and a little excited, and seemed to have been troubled by this matter for a long time.
"Are there any special traces or items at that time?" Meng Qi judged from the emotional changes and the logic of the description that Chen Changgeng was not lying, and turned to ask for clues.
Of course, if he is a "wild movie king", it's a different matter, but his family is here, and a monk can't escape from the temple.
"No." Chen Changgeng thought about this question many times and blurted it out without recalling it.
Meng Qi nodded and asked for other details.
What he was most confused about was why he dumped Jin Li's body outside Chen Changgeng's door and buried it in a deserted place without anyone noticing.
"I wonder if Almsgiver Chen has any enemies?" The only reason he could think of at the moment was this.
Chen Changgeng had long suspected that he was his enemy, so he coughed and said: "Due to the relationship between the fields and water sources, I am not in harmony with the nearby families and sects. There are the Sun family, the Jia family, the Jiangzuo Sword Sect and the Tianming Guan. By the way. , I teamed up with other families to take over the dock, and they hated me so much. This was all what happened before the corpse appeared. "
Meng Qi silently memorized these families and sects, and after asking a few more questions, he slowly stood up: "Donor Chen, I'm sorry to bother you."
"I wonder who the deceased is?" Chen Changgeng couldn't help but ask.
Meng Qi put his hand on the door and smiled: "It's better not to know."
After saying this, he opened the door, and his figure suddenly blurred. He didn't disappear, but his steps were magical and magical, making people feel like there was an afterimage.
The many masters of the Chen family who came outside the door were stunned. Before they could take action, they lost all traces of the enemy. Only two doors echoed gently with the cold wind.
"Huh, who is this master..." Chen Changgeng breathed out.
…………
As one of the local gangsters, Lu Jian was very efficient in doing things. Before dusk on the second day, he had roughly figured out what happened in the city related to love entanglements before and after Jin Li's disappearance.
Of course, they are all relatively big things, or involve sects and families. Otherwise, after more than three years, who can collect so much information about the marriage and love affairs of ordinary families, unless they specifically inquire about a certain family? But it doesn't look like this kind of person can be involved with Jin Li.
After setting off a few fireworks at the door, he returned to the study and waited patiently.
Since the New Year was approaching and fireworks were flying from time to time, what he just did did not attract attention or suspicion.
Bang, the window was blown open by the strong wind, and a chill came in. Lu Jian quickly looked at the window, suspecting that the young man in green shirt was coming, but as far as he could see, there was no one, only plum blossoms.
Could it be that the servant didn't lock it properly? He shook his head and closed the window. Just as he turned his head, his body suddenly froze.
The young man in green shirt stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the books on the shelf, with an elegant demeanor and a free and easy posture.
He, when did he come in? ! Lu Jian's face changed slightly, he was very shocked, and he felt the gap between himself and the real master.
"What did you find?" Meng Qi didn't turn around, as if he was chatting with his parents.
Lu Jian calmed down his emotions and replied respectfully: "A few days after Jin Li disappeared, Miss Shen's family would rather die than marry the Jia family. Although she attempted suicide, she finally broke the engagement. Now she is still alone. Also, the concept of destiny suddenly There is an additional Taoist nun who is taciturn and never goes out. "
"The Shen family...the concept of destiny..." Meng Qi repeated these two words.
They are all the enemies mentioned by Chen Changgeng, and as long as their Qinggong is good, they can go anywhere in Wen'an within an hour.
Lu Jian thought that he didn't know about the Shen family and the view of destiny, so he quickly explained: "The Shen family moved here a hundred years ago and built Shen Garden, with the North Cargo, Wharf and Mine Medicine Garden as the foundation. Because of the competition for the wharf, They have had rifts with many families and sects in the city, and they have little contact with them. There are many experts in the family, but they don't make many moves, so they appear to be quite mysterious. "
"The Tianming Temple was not originally called this name. A few decades ago, a wandering Taoist priest passed by. Somehow, he decided to stay and developed the Taoist temple with a sparse population into a relatively prosperous place, half temple and half sect. ”
"His strength is unknown. He calls himself a Taoist Taoist of Destiny and changed his Taoist temple to Destiny Taoist. He is a talkative person. He often talks about destiny being determined by heaven. There is no cause or effect. He does not accumulate virtue by practicing good deeds. Don't force yourself if you don't have a destiny. However, he looks at people. It’s extremely accurate. It always happens when someone says something about their fate, which makes us both laugh and be in awe.”
It's all a bit weird... Meng Qi pondered: "Aren't there any other love entanglements?"
"Yes, there are some, but they are all from a small family, so it is impossible to embarrass Jin Li..." Lu Jian briefly mentioned other things.
"Okay, I will verify it myself." Meng Qi didn't try to be mysterious and just opened the door and left. However, the green robe was in full bloom, and all the servants along the way turned a blind eye, which made Lu Jian's tongue curled up.
…………
Jiangdong has gentle mountains and rivers, and Tianming Temple is located on a hilly and graceful peak. There are stone steps along the road that wind all the way to the gate.
Because fortune-telling is quite effective, many good men and women come here to offer incense and give alms, and the temple is quite lively.
Meng Qi was wearing a green shirt, walking with his hands behind his back, his posture was leisurely, as if he were playing.
He looked at the Taoist priests who were entertaining the pilgrims, trying to find the female crown, but unfortunately he didn't find it. She seemed to be meditating.
Meng Qi did not search directly because he was quite wary of the mysterious and strange Tianming Taoist. He walked up to a Taoist boy and said with a smile: "I want to see the master of the temple to see the fate, can you pass it on for me?"
He decided to meet Taoist Tianming first.
"Looking at ten thousand taels at a time, the temple owner said that this was the harvest he was destined to have." Tao Tong had seen too many people like Meng Qi who wanted to read fortunes, and he said straightforwardly, "You can give alms afterwards, or items of equal value. You don’t have to give it, if you think it’s too expensive, my fellow brothers, they only charge five taels for the cheapest one.”
It's really a lion's mouth... Meng Qi thought for a moment that he still had the land deed to Jiangdong and was a little curious about his fate, so he smiled and said, "Let's find the temple master."
"Please, almsgiver." The Taoist boy didn't say much and led Meng Qi to the back of the Taoist temple and into a small courtyard.
The courtyard was cold, the leaves had fallen off, leaving only branches. A blue-robed Taoist with a half-black and half-white beard sat on a stone bench and watched the dead leaves swirl.
"Master, there is someone who wants to see the destiny." The Taoist boy saluted.
The Taoist turned around, his face was smooth without any wrinkles, Meng Qi couldn't even tell the difference!
"You want to see your fate?" His voice was old.
"I'm just curious as to why fate is destined and cannot be changed?" Meng Qi lifted up his shirt and sat down on another stone bench unceremoniously.
The Taoist turned back and continued to look at the dead leaves swirling: "I push you, and your Qi and physical body react. So, no matter whether you move forward, backward, left, or forward, the result is already determined, and there is no way to do it. Change again.”
"This is the theory of cause and effect, but didn't the owner say that there is no cause and no effect?" Meng Qi chuckled.
"The theory of cause and effect is trivial. As long as all the premises are met, a certain result can be deduced, and from the certain result, various conditions can be deduced, going back all the way to the day of one's birth, to the time when the heaven and earth were opened. Only then can we know that all kinds of It was decided from then on that if we develop and evolve according to the established rules, no matter how hard we struggle, it will be useless. Doing good deeds will not accumulate merit and will not accumulate good results for the future life. Just enjoy your own miserable or good life with peace of mind." Taoist said. The doctrine of cause and effect is scoffed at.
What a pessimistic statement... Meng Qi was slightly stunned, but instead of arguing, he asked: "I wonder how many fates there are?"
"From the moment you are born, your fate is destined to be whatever it is. There are six types of fates, showing different colors. The worst one is black, which means you will be miserable throughout your life and suffer a lot. The second one is green. For ordinary people, Ordinary people can enjoy peace and happiness, but also have hardships. Once again, they are famous, prosperous and wealthy, famous in the world, but there are still all kinds of tortures. Then there is Huang, the destiny of the emperor, holding power, strong strength, many hardships and tests, and the second best. The destiny is white, destined to become an immortal and achieve enlightenment. The destiny of the Buddha and Heavenly Lord has not appeared in countless years. There are many differences under different colors. "
Meng Qi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Master Tianming, please help me find out what color my destiny is."
Tianming Taoist turned his head, his eyes were dark and hollow, like a blind man.
He looked at it carefully for a while and said calmly: "Blue destiny..."
"No, it's red, no, no, yellow!"
"White? This, this, how can it become pure white!"
The Taoist Tianming's face changed drastically, and he retreated in panic as if he had encountered a demon. However, he forgot that he was sitting on a stone bench and fell directly to the ground.
Meng Qi's mouth twitched. Fortunately, it was six colors, not seven colors.
