Gu Yao rushed to Fangtian Town in Lexun City as quickly as possible. People like Wan Shitong were erratic and the opportunity was fleeting. Although there was an A-level thief on him, Wan Shitong was able to get rid of so many people looking for him before.
It proves that that guy is somewhat capable.
Fangtian Town is a small town in Lexun City. Gu Yao easily found the A-level thief based on the agreed contact sign.
"He is in Room 303 of the Xiangyun Inn over there. He has not left the town these days. He came to this restaurant for dinner just now. He should be back in his room now!"
The agreed place between the two parties is a restaurant opposite Xiangyun Inn, which is convenient for watching.
Gu Yao nodded and said: "Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
After nodding, the thief left, his mission now completed.
There was not much communication between the two parties. Even if they were both thieves, they were quite wary of each other. Therefore, after conveying the news to Gu Yao, the thief stopped staying.
There are a lot of points for this task, which is really an unexpected gain.
Arriving at the door of Room 303 of Xiangyun Inn, Gu Yao hesitated a little. How should he respond when he sees Wan Shitong later?
"Come in, young man, the door is unlocked!"
A deep voice came through the door, which surprised Gu Yao.
First of all, Gu Yao was quite confident in his Qinggong and stealth skills, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the other party. More importantly, he actually knew that he was a young man. His age could not be distinguished by his breath, or by his breath.
Even strong ground masters don't have that ability.
Surprised, Gu Yao's confidence also doubled. The fortune teller profession indeed has mysterious power and is not some so-called magician!
Wan Shitong is a fortune teller with a divine eye, so his predictions should be very accurate.
He opened the door and walked in. Gu Yao saw a person sitting on a futon beside the wooden table in the middle of the guest room.
It was an old man with a fluttering beard and a fairy-like appearance. He closed his eyes tightly and sat cross-legged. The expression on his face was calm and calm.
On the table were two steaming cups of tea, and an empty futon was prepared opposite the old man.
This person should be a know-it-all.
Seeing this situation, Gu Yao felt that he was even more unpredictable, as if he had already expected that he would come here.
"Master," after thinking for a while, he felt that this title would be more appropriate: "Since you expected that I would come, why didn't you leave first?"
Wan Shitong smiled faintly: "Although the world is big, it is inevitable to meet some people. If you and I are destined, we will inevitably meet in the vast sea of people. Since we can't hide, why hide? A friend is coming from afar. Why not sit down?
, enjoy a cup of fragrant tea.”
These words are very mysterious. If they were said by another person, Gu Yao would definitely treat him as a magician. But this man is a know-it-all, and his prophetic hand really calmed Gu Yao.
It is said that most of the words of fortune tellers are in this misty style, so Gu Yao doesn't find it strange.
He walked to the futon opposite Wanshitong and sat down cross-legged like him. Gu Yao said: "Since we are destined, then I would like to ask the master to help me calculate a divination. Is it possible?"
"Of course, you can't avoid this hexagram!" After Wan Shitong said this, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Gu Yao trembled slightly, Wan Shitong's eyes were no different from those of ordinary people, but his gaze was like a pool of clear water, reflecting the image of Gu Yao opposite him into his eyeballs.
An indescribable strange feeling rose from the bottom of his heart. Gu Yao felt as if he had really entered his world, and everything he thought in his heart was known to him.
Gu Yao has met all kinds of people, including powerful men like the Crazy Two Monsters, but no one has ever given him such a strange feeling.
Moreover, Gu Yao actually felt that the gaze seemed a little familiar, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't remember where he had seen it before. At least, there was no one with a similar appearance to Wan Shitong in his memory.
But the feeling of déjà vu could not be eliminated. Gu Yao asked doubtfully: "Master, have we met before?"
A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of Wanshitong's mouth: "Flowers bloom and fade, fate comes and goes, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, life is just a dream."
Wanshitong's answer doesn't look like an answer, but it seems to have answered Gu Yao's question. It is just an indirect insinuation through some philosophy worth pondering. The implication may only be understood by those who understand it.
Gu Yao felt that it was not a good idea to get entangled like this. He attributed the feeling of déjà vu to the fact that the two parties may have passed each other in the sea of people, so they left some impressions.
What matters now is not whether he knows him or not, but the answer he has been looking for.
"Young man, you know what you want to ask for, but unfortunately, I can only help you predict it!"
"Yi Gua?"
"Yes, a long time ago, your soul was trapped at a fork in the road in life. You could only choose one of the two. You were confused and confused, and you didn't know where to go, so you are still lingering. But all the time, you can only
Go to one side!"
Gu Yao fell silent for a moment. Did the fork in the road that Wanshitong mentioned refer to Han Dan and Duanmu Qing respectively? He really wanted to test the two hexagrams.
First, the entrance to the Lost Continent.
Second, Duanmuqing’s life and death.
Gu Yao frowned and said, "Master, can't you test two hexagrams for me?"
"Haha, this hexagram will also affect the direction of your life. Do you think a person can go on different trajectories of life at the same time?" Wan Shitong's words are equivalent to rejection, although the reason is still so vague.
"It's time to make a decision, young man, you can't let your soul be trapped in that fork in the road, otherwise you will be lost forever! I will give you a minute to think about it, and give me the answer then!" Know-It-All
After saying that, he turned a small hourglass upside down on the table and closed his eyes again.
This is also one of the know-it-all's habits. He will stay for a minute before the fortune teller asks a question, even if the other person already has the answer in his mind.
However, you must give an answer after one minute, otherwise you will lose your divination qualification.
"Sand, sand, sand..." The sand in the hourglass fell slowly, announcing the ruthless passing of time bit by bit.
Gu Yao's heart was beating inexplicably. He had not been so nervous for a long time, because the decision he made in this minute may affect his future destiny, and even the fate of Han Dan and Duanmu Qing.
He has long known that Wan Shitong only makes one prediction, and never makes exceptions. However, those two questions have been entangled in Gu Yao's mind for countless times. He still cannot make a choice. Maybe as Wan Shitong said, even if he continues, he will not be able to make a choice.
If there is a result, his soul will only continue to wander at the fork in the road until the end of his life.
If possible, Gu Yao would of course want to take both paths together. However, this is impossible.
The sand in the hourglass was halfway through in the blink of an eye, and the sweat on Gu Yao's forehead suddenly broke out.
Dandan, Duanmuqing, Dandan, Duanmuqing, Dandan, Duanmuqing. Dandan, Duanmuqing... the names of the two most important women kept flashing through my mind.
Is it Dandan or Duanmuqing?
When the last grain of sand in the hourglass fell, the name in Gu Yao's heart just happened to be "Duanmu Qing".
Is this God's will? Then let God take his fate!
Even though he knew that Duanmu Qing was in danger and should keep this hexagram on Han Dan, for some reason Gu Yao still included her in his consideration.
"The time has come." Wan Shitong uttered a sentence without saltiness.
Gu Yao's face suddenly turned pale and clear, and finally he sighed: "I want to know the whereabouts of a girl. Her name is Duanmu Qing!"
This question also has a technical content. If Duanmu Qing is not dead, Wan Shitong will tell him where she is. If she has already encountered misfortune, then there is nothing to say. It is undoubtedly much better than asking directly about life and death.
.
Hearing the three words "Duanmu Qing", Wan Shitong's expression did not change. In his eyes, everyone in the world is a form of existence, and there is no distinction between high and low, whether it is the eight ancient tribes or the common people on the streets.
it's the same.
"Token?"
When a diviner predicts a person's condition, he needs some tokens. The items must be part of the person's body, such as hair, nails, etc., or accessories that the person has worn, such as earrings, hairpins, etc.
Yes, the longer you wear it, the better.
Gu Yao had already investigated the fortune teller's information and prepared a token.
He took out a small green earring from the space ring. This earring was given to Dongfang Lu by Duanmu Qing. Just before she left the family, she might have realized that she might never come back.
She gave this pair of earrings that she had worn for several years to her friend as a souvenir.
During the time at Alcatraz Island, Dongfang Lu talked about this matter, and Gu Yao got one of them from her.
During the month when she kidnapped Duanmu Qing, Gu Yao had seen her pair of earrings. Calculated, she had worn them for at least five years, so they were perfect as a token.
Wanshitong took out a crystal ball, and it turned out to be flat, which was different from ordinary round crystal balls.
"Hold the token in the palm of one hand, place the other hand on the crystal ball, and then imagine everything about the person you are looking for, her appearance, her character, the most impressive moments you have spent together, the more you
The more detailed the better! Remember, during this period you have to be completely open and undefended, otherwise the divination will not be accurate!"
"Okay!" Gu Yao followed the words and held the earring in his palm, placed his hand on the crystal ball, closed his eyes and began to imagine.
Gu Yao thought of the crazy time the two had in Lance County, the surprise when they met again at the Holy Academy, the mutual support during the internship, her disappointment when she refused the invitation after graduation, and the heartbreak she shed in tears when she left the academy.
.
I don’t know whether it was due to his mental concentration or the power of the crystal ball. Gu Yao was completely integrated into the memories. As his emotions fluctuated, the expression on his face also changed repeatedly. Sometimes he smiled, sometimes frowned, and sometimes sighed. In the end, tears filled his face because the memory was at the end.
Yes - Duanmu Qing is dead!
Duanmuqing's voice and smile became clear in his mind. She walked towards him gracefully, still so lovely and gentle.
She came straight to Gu Yao, took out her handkerchief and gently wiped his tears.
"Duanmu Qing!" Gu Yao hugged her suddenly. She was actually a living person. He smelled the familiar body fragrance and touched a soft and familiar body in his hands. This time it was definitely not Dongfang Lu. But it was the same
of truth!
Duanmu Qing in his arms lightened up, and then turned into light smoke and floated away. Gu Yao said in shock: "Duanmu Qing! Duanmu Qing!"
"Ga! Ga!" Gu Yao was sweating profusely when he woke up from his dream, and then he realized that everything just now was just an illusion.
However, there is really a familiar touch left in my hand, there is nothing wrong with it, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it!
Gu Yao couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Duanmu Qing. Is she not dead? Not dead?"
Although it was just an illusory scene, Gu Yao somehow believed that Duanmu Qing was indeed still alive in an unknown place. It was a mysterious and mysterious feeling that could not be described in words.
In that moment, his Qi and Duanmu Qing's Qi, pulled by the mysterious power, connected across thousands of kilometers of space, even though it was only a short moment!
At this time, Gu Yao was shocked to find that the room had fallen into darkness. Before entering the room, it was probably noon, and he seemed to have just sat there for a few minutes before night fell.
The small earring in the palm of my hand had turned into a pile of powder at some point.
Wan Shitong looked a little tired and pale.
Although Gu Yao desperately wanted to know the answer, he still endured it.
After a while, Wan Shitong's expression improved slightly, and he spoke slowly: "The abyss of evil water contains secrets; penetrate the black hole, and you will find the other side of the sky!"
These sentences are more profound and difficult to understand than the previous ones, and they are the most important answer. Gu Yao said piously: "Master, can you make it clearer?"
Wan Shitong glanced at him: "I'm tired, young man. Please come back."
"Yes, thank you very much, master!" Gu Yao stood up, saluted and walked out the door.
The answers given by diviners are always very vague. It is said that what they reveal is a secret from heaven. In order to avoid being punished by God, they cannot explain it directly. They can only give some hints. The person involved needs to solve the mystery and find the truth by himself.
In any case, knowing that Duanmu Qing is not dead is the biggest gain.
After walking out of the room, it suddenly became clear outside the door. Gu Yao suddenly felt that his own sky was also suddenly clear. He punched his chest hard with his backhand to vent his excitement: "Great!"
His fist hit a hard object, and Gu Yao lowered his head. It was a delicate heart-shaped jade pendant hanging on his chest. The sky-blue jade was engraved with many odd-shaped stripes, like words and patterns. The workmanship
It can be described as harsh. Although the carvings on the surface of the pendant are complex, they are as delicate as capillaries.
Gu Yao was startled when he saw the jade pendant, and the excitement in his eyes dimmed.
This is the jade pendant that Han Dan gave to her when they first met at Yuelai Inn. Her innocent and childish voice rang in her ears again: "Brother Gu Yao, I am leaving tomorrow, and I may go very far away.
I'm afraid that I won't recognize you when we meet from afar, so I gave you this small pendant. I've been wearing it since you were a child. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was you."
After this divination, the news from Han Dan is even more distant, because Wanshitong only predicts someone's fortune once in his life, never a second time, and even if he finds someone to tell someone's fortune, he can know what others are thinking.
And refuse.
After wandering for a long time, he finally chose a fork in the road, which was Duanmu Qing. However, he and Han Dan gradually drifted away.
When can the entrance to the lost continent be traced by the union alone? Maybe never!
Is this choice really the right one?
Han Dan really went to a very far place, but in the face of two choices, he gave up the chance to find her!
At the thought of this, Gu Yao's heart ached violently, as if being cut by a knife.
Dandan, brother Gu Yao is sorry for you!
At this time, Wan Shitong's voice came from the door: "Young man, you don't have to be too sad, because there are many forks in a person's life, but sometimes they lead to the same destination!"
