Xuantian 1: Ancient Xuandongtian

Chapter 3 Fate and Happiness
His mother replied, "That's probably because her mother didn't let her out to play. Everyone in the village knows her stubborn likes and dislikes."

"I don't think so." Mu Hanchan said again: "I think she's quite cute, at most she's just a little mischievous."

But his mother replied softly and earnestly: "Cicada, it's just that you don't think so. Others can tell what is cute and what is like and dislike."

But Mu Hanchan really doesn't think Lin Mengge is bad, his mind is full of her voice and smile.

"Alas!" His mother Liu Shi sighed and said, "Then you go, Chan'er."

"Well, good, mother." Mu Hanchan said.

Then he asked again: "Do you need me to come back sooner?"

"You can decide for yourself," Liu said.

Mu Hanchan left the house with anticipation, anxiety, joy and longing, ready to go to the east of the village.

Go out through the woods to reach the bridge.

At the bridge, Mu Hanchan hesitated because he hadn't been to the east of the village yet.

But soon, the hesitation went away.He took a step and walked forward slowly, but he looked around at the frozen river on both sides of the bridge, but he didn't find any difference.

After crossing the bridge and reaching the east side of the village, Mu Hanchan saw a main road, which seemed to be the way to enter the village, but also seemed to be the way to leave the village.Looking further ahead, where the line of sight can reach, you can also see that the main road is divided into three branches, which seem to lead to the east of the village, northeast, due east, and southeast.

There were three or five people at the branch, and Mu Hanchan approached and asked, "Uncle, aunt, how can I get to the Lin family?"

The uncle and aunt ignored Mu Hanchan.But an old man answered, "There are several Lin families, which one are you talking about?"

Mu Hanchan thought for a while and said, "It's the Lin family who moved here a few years ago."

"Hey, how old are you, kid?" An aunt said contemptuously, and added: "A few years ago, how old are you this year? Do you remember a few years ago?"

Mu Hanchan frowned, but didn't answer.

An easy-going woman said: "Hey, don't talk like that, this kid is quite polite."

But the woman didn't think so, and said, "Hey, Mrs. Xiang, you have to be polite, but you can't talk nonsense. What will you do when you grow up?"

Mu Hanchan was a little unhappy, but the other party was an adult, and she could only endure the other party's arrogance and clinging to the old, and continued: "Do the two aunts know? Can you tell me?" Because they don't know themselves, or they don't know themselves , and Mu Hanchan didn't forget what he was doing in the east of the village.

"Son, please tell me which family you belong to and why you are looking for the Lin family. I think you came from the west." Another woman interjected.

Mu Hanchan said: "My name is Mu Hanchan, the son of the Mu family at the west end of the village. My father's name is Mu Huanshan, my mother's surname is Liu, and my family has a big wolf dog. I came to the west of the village to look for the Lin family, because I have a playmate with several friends. Tian didn't come to me, so I wanted to come to her."

"The Mu family?"

"Is it the Mu family who doesn't associate with us?"

"I heard that man can carpentry."

"Yes, hurry up and ask him to do some work."

"The man is always away, and every time he goes, the woman is there."

"..."

Mu Hanchan saw that the three of them did not answer him after listening to his answer, but started talking about himself and his home.Mu Hanchan felt helpless and disgusted, and went into the village by herself.Because his answer did not get the other party's answer, he felt that he was not treated fairly, or that he was not respected.

After entering the village, Mu Hanchan didn't find him, nor did he meet anyone else, because Mu Hanchan was not familiar with the village owner, so he turned back.

When I returned, I could still hear a few people chatting and laughing.

After Mu Hanchan left, the woman named Mrs. Xiang said, "Hey, matchmaker, you think the child is not bad. I heard that his father not only knows carpentry, but also hunts."

"It's like this." The woman next to her interjected, and said, "Matchmaker, you should keep an eye on this house. Although there is no money, there is meat."

That easy-going woman is also the matchmaker in the mouth of the second woman.She said humbly but hypocritically: "Look at the two of you talking, we are matchmakers who are looking for a good relationship in heaven and earth, and the beauty of adults. Where is the matchmaking ceremony for looking at others."

After getting home.

"Cicada, why did you come back so soon? Didn't you find it?" Mother Liu asked kindly.

Mu Hanchan shook his head and said, "No." It's just that he didn't feel disappointed, as if he had already expected the result.

"Why? Didn't you ask anyone?" Liu said.

Mu Hanchan said angrily: "Those adults simply ignore me."

Mother Liu said: "Tomorrow I will go to the east end of Xiacun to help you find out."

"Okay." Mu Hanchan had some rare surprises, and said, "Thank you, mother."

On the mountains flanking the village.

"Are you here again today?"

"Correct."

"What's the reason again this time? Can't see her?"

"Yes, but that's not why I came to you."

"Why is that?"

"I know that you are a powerful immortal cultivator with great wisdom, so I would like to ask you two more questions."

"Friend, please speak!"

Mu Hanchan had the same initial conversation with the old man every time, that is, why did you come and what did you come for.

"I want to know my future and my ending with her." Mu Hanchan asked.

He also said: "You are a powerful immortal cultivator, and you said that you have a unique power of prophecy, so can you tell me?"

"I can, but why should I tell you?" said the old man.

"Because we are friends, don't friends help each other?"

"We are friends, but prophecy needs to consume life."

"How much life do you need to pay?"

"The small prophecy is 1000 years, the big prophecy is 1 years, and the great prophecy is 10 years."

"Then if you predict my two things, how much lifespan will it take?"

"It takes 1 years of lifespan to predict your fate, but only 1000 years to predict your ending with her."

"why?"

"Because your matter is big, and your matter is small."

"And why?"

"Because you have a mission, you came to this world with a mission. And she is just your companion."

"Accompaniment?"

"Yes, the husband and wife in the eyes of ordinary people, the Taoist couple in the eyes of monks, in the eyes of those of us with a little understanding of the sky, they are just companions."

"I don't understand what it means to accompany a guest." Mu Hanchan said.

The old man replied: "A person's life is like a journey, which is short but constantly moving forward. Your other half is like a similar traveler who you meet and have a good talk with during your journey. The same. Some people have the same direction and the same destination, so they have walked together for the rest of their lives. Some people have the same direction but different destinations, so they get off the carriage halfway through, or go to the station to stop, or change Another traveling carriage, while the other person continued on alone. There are also people who are in a different direction at all, but because the destination is the same, and a new traveling carriage cannot be found for the time being, so they just sit on it. One car, it can be said that it will be used for a lifetime. There are also some people, who naturally have different directions and different destinations, so they can only meet each other at a travel station at most and pass by. "

"Wow, it's so profound, I don't understand it." Mu Hanchan said.

The old man denied it: "No, you understand. At least you will understand after listening."

He added, "Remember when I asked you what shape our planet was?"

"I remember." Mu Hanchan replied.

"How did you answer that?"

"I said it should be round."

"why?"

"Because when we look at the stars at night, they are all round dots, even the moon and the sun are round. And our planet is just one of the universe. So since all the planets we can see are round, then our planet does not appear It's also round by accident."

"So you can watch the stars and understand the shape, but why can't you see your own life?" the old man asked.

Mu Hanchan said: "It's two different things. I can see my own hands and feet, but I can't see my own head and brain. So it's easy to watch the stars and understand the shape, but it's difficult to see the life by yourself."

He added: "If I knew my fate, I wouldn't have come to ask you."

The old man said: "I can tell your fate, or the ending between you and her, but you can only know one thing."

"Why did you refuse to tell me just now, but now you are willing again?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but I just want you to know that this shouldn't be said, and there's no need to tell you for nothing."

"Then what do you need me to do? And why don't you tell me?"

"The secrets of the sky should not be leaked, but it may be impossible not to leak it now, because I think you are too focused on your own feelings, and you want to go astray."

"What do you need me to do?"

"After you know your destiny, you just need to fulfill your mission well. This is the price you need to pay for spying on the secrets of heaven."

"How do you know that I will definitely choose to spy on my own destiny?"

"Because you don't want to know your ending." The old man said.

Mu Hanchan said, "Alright then. Tell me! What is my fate?"

"You will become the Immortal King in the future!"

"Immortal King?"

"Yes."

"What is that? The king of cultivators?"

"Yes, the supreme ruler of the world of cultivating immortals."

"Under one person, above ten thousand people?"

"No, it's under the Dao of Heaven, above all people."

After finishing speaking, old man Shang Qing's hair turned white.

"You..." Mu Hanchan was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

But the old man said with a tired face: "Okay, you go back. From this moment on, the gears of your destiny have started to turn."

So Mu Hanchan left, bowing deeply to the old man to thank him before leaving.

After Mu Hanchan left, the old man looked up to the sky and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking in his heart: "My mission is finally about to be completed."

There was a lightness on his old face.There was joy in the tired eyes.It seems that all the burdens have been let go, and it seems that you're done.
