Chapter 10: Searching for the Toad Palace Moon Tower, Discussing Obedience to Heaven
Mu Chan Palace was packing up the gold and silver items at home, like the gold that was mutated by Qin Yuelou and was exchanged for silver notes and then divided into two parts.
Both banknotes were wrapped in layers of oil paper and then sewn to the inner layer of underwear.
This was Mu Xiaohuan's suggestion. It can only be said that Mu Xiaohuan is very cautious when dealing with valuable things.
Moreover, he is well aware of the principle that eggs cannot be put in the same basket.
Just when Mu Chan Palace was cleaning up the household items, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
The person who knocked on the door was an old woman, because the old woman kept shouting.
"Young Master! You want to kill my granddaughter!"
Mu Xiaohuan and Mu Changong looked at each other, so Mu Xiaohuan went to open the door.
The speaker was a hunchbacked old woman with chicken skin and white hair. She still smelled of water and had wrinkles on her neck. She also looked weird.
Because this old woman's face looks like a frog, with big eyes, a big mouth, and a little protruding.
"Auntie, what are you talking about? My son has been with me these past few days, how could he kill your daughter? If you talk nonsense like this, I will go to the government to report you." Mu.
Xiao Huan said angrily.
"Oh, you misunderstood. My granddaughter Bai Qiulian told me that she heard you reading poetry when she was in the city. Then after Qiu Lian met your child, she didn't think about tea or food. This is because she is lovesick.
I came here this time just to invite your children to meet my granddaughter, lest she really die because of my husband." The old woman explained, then turned to Mu Chan Gong and said, "I want to
I betroth Qiulian to you, please don’t refuse.”
The old woman was also making gestures with her hands, but Mu Xiaohuan's sharp eyes noticed something was wrong.
Why is there a fleshy film between the old woman's fingers that looks like the webbed feet of a duck or a goose? But Mu Chan Palace didn't notice it.
Originally, Mu Xiaohuan meant to let Mu Chan Gong go and have a look. Originally, Mu Chan Gong hadn't gotten married yet. He didn't say anything, but he was anxious in his heart. However,
After seeing the webbed flesh between the old woman's fingers, Mu Xiaohuan felt a little panicked.
"This thing... is it going to take away the Toad Palace?" Mu Xiaohuan was panicking, so he changed his mind.
By chance, Mu Changong was interrupted by Mu Xiaohuan just as he was about to speak. Mu Changong could only stare.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are moving out today. Your daughter should find a good family to marry as soon as possible." Mu Xiaohuan packed up the valuable things in a haphazard manner. After putting them away properly, he carried the baggage behind him.
, and continued to add.
"We are leaving Golden Scale City. Is your girl a local? Even if she is a local, can she leave with us? Madam, what you said is unrealistic, so even if my son goes to see your girl, they
They won’t get married either.”
What I said is quite decisive.
After listening to Mu Xiaohuan's words, the old woman felt a chill appear on her originally anxious face.
"Some marriages in this world can't succeed even if you are very wronged. Now I am personally acting as a matchmaker. Your father doesn't agree, and you hesitate to agree. It's too embarrassing for me! Don't even think about leaving by boat.
!”
The old woman said coldly, turned around and left. The moment she turned around, Mu Xiaohuan saw the wrinkles on the old woman's neck again, which seemed to be opening and closing.
This... what is this? Are they fish gills?
Mu Xiaohuan was horrified, but saw Mu Chan Palace anxiously trying to persuade him to stay.
So Mu Xiaohuan hit Mu Changong's head so hard that Mu Changong couldn't speak and could only cry out that it hurt.
"Dad, what are you doing?! What if that girl really..." Mu Chan Gong hadn't finished speaking yet.
"Shut up! Pack your things and come with me! Let's go find Mr. Qin quickly!" Mu Xiaohuan yelled at Mu Chan Palace.
This was the first time Mu Chan Palace had seen Mu Xiaohuan so angry.
Mu Changong was a little scared, so he hung his head angrily and went back to his room to pack his things.
Mu Xiaohuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. His hands were shaking uncontrollably. He lit the smoke pot, took a few puffs, and squatted at the door. His already old face looked even more tired and older.
I couldn't help but think about it.
"Why? Why? Why is Toad Palace being targeted?
That old woman is obviously not a normal person. Which normal person would have something like that on her body?
You can't let Toad Palace touch her, absolutely not.
I must ask Mr. Qin for help with this matter."
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaohuan urged Mu Chan Palace, and then took Mu Chan Palace to the inn where Qin Yuelou was staying.
The two of them hurriedly looked for Qin Yuelou, who looked like he had just woken up.
"What's going on?" Qin Yuelou saw the expressions on the father and son's faces and felt that something had happened.
So Mu Xiaohuan told Qin Yuelou what he had discovered in front of Mu Chan Palace.
"Master Qin, please help us." Mu Xiaohuan made a gesture to kneel down.
However, Qin Yuelou used his magical power to support him.
"Don't kneel down, I can't afford it." Qin Yuelou waved his hands quickly, "I can help you with this matter. After all, I also find it troublesome. I heard Mr. Mu say that you will pass through Gusu, so I am embarrassed to rub your face.
The ship is over. Since we have already suffered a lot, it would be inappropriate to say that I won’t help you, but..."
"Just what? Tell me, if you have any needs, I will try my best to satisfy you." Mu Xiaohuan said hurriedly.
"It's just that I will observe this matter carefully. After all, I have made mistakes before. I rashly interfered with others with my own decision without clarifying the cause and effect of the matter. Therefore, my help may not meet your expectations.
." Qin Yuelou said to Mu Xiaohuan.
"Yes, yes, you are right, but please protect Toad Palace, please." Mu Xiaohuan's eyes were red.
Poor parents in the world, Mu Xiaohuan seems to be very afraid of losing his son.
"Don't worry, then, let's go to the passenger ship first." Qin Yuelou said, "Mr. Mu, is this really what your father said? What do you think?"
"I want to take a look to see if the woman named Bai Qiulian is the girl I saw at that time, but..." Mu Changong hesitated to speak.
"It's a pity that I can't help you find it. After all, the smell of water and fish is not too iconic." Qin Yuelou thought helplessly.
"It's okay. Do you remember what I said about fate?" Qin Yuelou asked Mu Chan Palace.
"I remember." Mu Changong replied, but he didn't understand why Qin Yuelou would ask this.
"This is fate. If your destiny is to see her, then nothing will stop you. But if your destiny is not to see her, then you will not be able to see her no matter what." Qin Yuelou said.
, and thought of something again.
"Destiny is inherently unpredictable. How can there be so much happiness in this world?"
Is the so-called destiny the regular trajectory of the heavenly path in this world?
The so-called destiny, is it the way of heaven that determines everyone's inevitable experience? Even if there are different interactions, it still brings the only and inevitable result?
Qin Yuelou didn't know, he just thought of the white fox.
Sanjie Mu killed the white fox, which led him to confront Hu Shanao, and finally killed Hu Shanao.
But the white fox, I heard from the daughters of the Hu family, had never done anything bad in its life. In addition, when I was doing experiments, I also found that the white fox did not have the filthy air of eating blood.
However, the white fox was already dead. He could not reprimand his sister just because the white fox was not a relative.
Hu Shanao, who did something to his own family, is also dead. He really deserves to die.
However, if the white fox did not die, wouldn't there be nothing that happened next?
Is this the inevitable result of the interaction between the fates of different individuals?
Qin Yuelou doesn’t know, but
Destiny is unpredictable, but it is also destined.
No matter where you are, it's always been like this.
[If] represents countless possibilities, while [Destiny] represents the only path.
Qin Yuelou seemed to have some realization, as if something was stirring in his heart, something was forming and evolving in his heart, but he was interrupted by Mu Chan Palace.
"But, if it is really like what you said, then why can't people defy fate? Hasn't there been people from ancient times to the present who say that 'man can conquer nature'?" Mu Chan Palace asked Qin Yuelou.
Although he was interrupted, Qin Yuelou was not angry. For others, this situation of "enlightenment" is rare, but for him, he will have enlightenment from time to time.
Things are rare and valuable. When there are a lot of something, it will not be so precious, and therefore become less valued.
For example, money.
When Qin Yuelou makes friends, he never looks at how much money the other person has. Anyway, no matter how much money they have, they won't be as rich as him.
Because anything he orders can turn into 10,000 pure gold, so he can give as much as he wants.
"Man can conquer heaven? Does it mean that man can conquer heaven only because nature conquers man?" Qin Yuelou asked Mu Chan Palace,
"Don't think about this kind of thing. If you think too much, you will only get into trouble. It will be bad if you are trapped in it and can't get out."
Qin Yuelou never thinks about this kind of problem, because this kind of problem can be solved by jumping around repeatedly.
It is like a circle, closing each other, reaching a finite infinity. Regardless of whether the principle of this circle is positive or negative, the answer will be correct, thus producing indescribable and inexplicable chaos, which encompasses all things and concepts that are the unity of opposites.
in.
So Qin Yuelou began to understand again, but he couldn't understand it thoroughly and couldn't understand it, so he came and went as quickly as he came.
"Okay, it's time for us to leave." Qin Yuelou patted Mu Changong on the shoulder.
Mu Changong seemed a little dull, and he asked Qin Yuelou reluctantly.
"Mr. Qin, you always say that fate meets you, so if we had not met you, wouldn't we have died when we were in that ruined temple? Then aren't you the one who goes against destiny?"
"But, how do you know that I didn't appear there in accordance with destiny?" Qin Yuelou continued to ask.
To be an ordinary person if you follow it, and to be an immortal if you go against it? Maybe this is a kind of philosophy.
But, is destiny really so easy to rebel against?
Unless you can truly jump out of the Three Realms and Six Paths, not be among the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, transcend destiny or not be bound by destiny, you will become a "change above change" and a "variable".
Qin Yuelou realized again,
But he quickly exited the state of enlightenment.
"Mom, why are these things so difficult to understand?" Qin Yuelou cursed in his heart.
