I’m a Witch In Dongying

But she also knew that Jiufeng Ziyuan's attitude was actually very clear.

Even if Bai Shuiqiu didn't speak, the old monster would most likely follow her to the "inner world", and Hongwu and Fengli would definitely follow her. She was just a little hesitant whether to bring Rain Girl and Chun E with her.

Theoretically, the current Tenmu Shrine has been sheltered by the "Yang Yan Evil Extermination Formation", and Ibaraki Doji, who was a potential threat, has been successfully killed, but Wan Jiuju sent a trick to attack the west, taking advantage of the Shirazu family's style. All the gods went out and tried their best to besiege Tianmu Mountain... that would be a little bad.

Therefore, the rain girl can only be left to watch the house.

Bai Shuiqiu pondered secretly in his heart, ready to discuss with the woman in green when he returned home at night.

On the other side, Asakura Mami saw that she hadn't spoken again, she thought she was worried about whether the operation would go well, she immediately sat up straight from lying on her back, and raised her hand to hook Bai Shuiqiu. shoulders, and said lightly:

"Don't worry, Xiaoqiu, my sister and I will accompany you in this operation. No matter what kind of evil things you encounter there, as long as I still breathe, I will definitely protect your safety."

When he heard the first half of the sentence, it was nothing, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, Bai Shuiqiu couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and a question mark slowly appeared on his head.

If it's just Mami saying that, you can listen to it casually. Anyway, this girl has always talked and acted carelessly, so it's normal to have a little bit of exaggeration.

However, Asakura Rie next to him actually smiled and whispered softly: "Mami is right. Because we all depend on you, Xiaoqiu, when we enter and leave the "inner world", if something happens to you, then the rest All of them may be trapped there. So anyone can have an accident, but you can't, Xiaoqiu, we will do our best to protect you. "

"Ok."

This explanation is also reasonable.

It's just that Bai Shuiqiu felt a little strange in his heart.

After a brief silence.

Asakura Rie spoke again: "The reason I said just now is only one of the reasons. The second reason, I think Xiaoqiu, you may have known it from other places, that is...

Yasaka Shrine where Mami and I are located, Asakura Shrine in Tokyo, and Kiyomizu Temple where Master Tianyuan is located, actually all have some special connections with you, Xiaoqiu, or your ancestors.

As early as hundreds of years ago in the Kamakura period, the ancestors of the Shirazu family lived in Kansai for a period of time. At that time, several forces in Kyoto had some interactions with them, so they left some friendship..."

"You mean... the "Shirasui Shrine" in Shiga Prefecture? "

Bai Shuiqiu suddenly understood.

"Yes."

Asakura Rie didn't seem surprised by her reaction, and nodded quickly: "At that time, the means of communication were far from being as developed as they are in modern times. Except for a few noble families such as Kamo and Abe in Kyoto, most of the others The reputation of the shrine is limited to the small area where the shrine is located.

The ancestors of my family passed by Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture during an operation to ward off evil spirits and met the ancestors of the Shirasu clan...

Later, Shirasu Shrine encountered many accidents. My Asakura family tried to rescue them, but each time they were a step behind.

Especially on the Glauber's Salt Mountain 200 years ago, and the one 70 years ago... If it could be a day or two in the morning, the results might be very different. "

This is indeed true.

Both Lake Biwa and Glauber's Salt Mountain involved Hakumu ghosts, especially for the first time. Although the Hundredmud ghosts at that time only had "ninety-nine eyes", a large number of ghosts and demons gathered around them, including Doji Ibaraki as the leader. The Dajiangshan ghost clan and his party shocked the entire Kyoto practice world.

It is said that the Kyoto practice world at that time was not monolithic, but fought independently, and sent teams to exterminate this group of ghosts, but fell into the encirclement set by the ghosts and suffered heavy losses...

It was not until the Baishui people took action that they defeated these evil spirits, but they also paid a heavy price, which directly led to the destruction of the "Shrine in the Mountains", and the family of the Baishui family moved eastward.

And the second time to go to Glauber's Salt Mountain is a hundred-eyed ghost who has been dormant for hundreds of years and has cultivated into a complete body.

Although I don't know how many people I brought this time, I am afraid that it is not small to be able to destroy the Baishui family.

The Yasaka Shrine, which is far away in Kyoto, sent people to go there immediately after getting the news, but when they arrived at Glauber's Salt Mountain, they saw nothing but ruins.

Not to mention the one 70 years ago...

Thinking about it this way, the relationship between the family and the Asakura family is really not shallow.

Maybe even the Asakura Shrine in Tokyo appeared because of the Glauber's Salt Mountain Incident. After all, the Asakura family's basic business has always been in the Kansai area. Only the Tokyo line was separated later. The time node and Edo It seems that the destruction of Shirasu Shrine in the era can still be matched...

"This is also impossible."

Bai Shuiqiu sighed faintly: "I once heard the rain... The elders in the family said that there is a special curse in the blood of the Baishui family. "Some beings on both sides coveted, so the more powerful the clan, the easier it is to encounter some unexpected disasters...

Maybe this is the "destiny" of the Baishui clan. "

In fact, Bai Shuiqiu didn't really believe in these stupid things.

After all, what Chinese people pay attention to is "my destiny is up to me, but I can't help it." It is a bit unwilling to attribute one's destiny to "heaven" or "gods".

But looking at the experiences of the Baishui family for thousands of years, Bai Shuiqiu has to admit that there may really be something like a "curse" in his bloodline. A few times, I will be approached by a group of troublesome guys.

If it wasn't for the frequent appearance of several juniors like Nansaki and Sana, I'm afraid this inheritance would have been broken in a certain generation in the middle.

"destiny……"

Asakura Rie repeated the word, with a slightly odd look on his face: "Actually, I once predicted your fate, Xiaoqiu."

"Eh?"

Under Baishuiqiu's slightly curious gaze, Asakura Rie said softly, "According to Naoo's grandfather from Asakura in Tokyo, the senior Shirazusana Sana was also a master of arithmetic, and it should be able to count him going alone. The consequences of Lantern Mountain, but she still chose to go after leaving a suicide note. This result can only show that in her calculations, the consequences of not going to Lantern Mountain may be worse than going.

but……

Xiaoqiu, you are different. Because unlike everyone else, Xiaoqiu's fate cannot be calculated. "

"I can't figure it out...what do you mean?"

Facing Bai Shuiqiu's question, Asakura Rie dipped his fingertips in the tea in the cup, and drew a square on the coffee table, and then drew several horizontal and vertical lines.

It looks like a simple chessboard.

"You should still remember the method I used when I was in Kyoto to predict the whereabouts of Ibaraki-douji. Destiny is like a game of chess, from the point of birth, to life step by step. In the process, there will be countless things affecting them, forming their different characters and abilities, and then these influences will react to fate itself, making the chess game develop more possibilities.”

While speaking, Rie Asakura raised his palm slightly, and Void made a few twists and turns: "Any human being, even the most mediocre ordinary person, as long as he didn't die early when he was born, Then its fate is more complicated than any human chess game.

From childhood, to elementary school, middle school, the workplace, as well as birth, old age, illness, and death, all these things are like a game of chess that gradually unfolds. Some choices are made by others, and some choices are made by others. Once you make a decision, you will have no regrets.

If you want to go back to the past, you can only wait for this game of chess to be played, and then start over again, which is the so-called "reincarnation".

And fortune-telling is essentially to spy out those things that are bound to happen from these countless possibilities. Some people would call this sort of thing a "robbery". "

"Ok……"

Bai Shuiqiu had heard of this.

Those fortune-tellers in the ancient books would deceive people with the saying that "fate is destined to have this disaster", but from the current explanation of Asakura Rie, this thing actually exists in terms of magic numbers.

Chapter 751 Anomalies (two in one)

Rie Asakura's voice continued: "In fact, in each person's destiny, there are actually very few nodes that can really be called accidental, because combined with a person's personality, interests, habits, and past life history, Some seemingly accidental choices are in fact inevitable.

Like playing chess, you think you're making random moves. But in fact, the "subconscious" choice will still be followed, and the "subconscious" is the result of the continuous accumulation and mutual influence of all these characteristics. As long as it is human, it is impossible to escape this commonality.

The only thing that can really put an end to this law is death.

There are indeed some special instruments or secretaries that can interfere with this kind of calculation, such as the people of the Jiuju faction, but the interference is only some details, such as hiding a few pieces of chess pieces, so that I can't accurately identify their latest. Movement, but it is impossible to hide the entire chessboard and completely erase the traces of existence.

Only Xiaoqiu you...

Unlike anyone I've ever tried to do divination before. I have tried to calculate your fate more than once, but the results I got are always blank. "

"blank?"

Bai Shuiqiu blinked and made up the picture.

"Yes."

Rie Asakura nodded, and then pondered for a while: "If you use the chessboard as a metaphor, it is equivalent to yes, the chessboard that symbolizes your destiny is a piece of white paper without any lines drawn, without lines, There are also no chess pieces, as if the entire chessboard is shrouded in a cloud of mist, neither the future nor the present can be seen clearly.

After I learned the numerology, I have done divination for hundreds of people, and the success rate of divination is more than 90%, but I have never seen such a strange fate like Xiaoqiu.

To this end, I read a lot of classics in Kyoto, and finally got a glimpse.

Maybe……

There is no predetermined destiny, which means that you will not be bound by fate.

Because there are no corners and corners, it is not subject to any restrictions, and the pieces can be placed anywhere on the chessboard, without even having to follow the rules of chess moves, with countless possibilities.

This kind of realm may be what all practitioners pursue throughout their lives. In Chinese terms, it is called the realm of "jumping out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements".

Xiaoqiu, your existence is an anomaly in itself. You might really be able to change or even put an end to the "curse" that the Baishui clan bears. "

Bai Shuiqiu opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond.

"Beyond the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements"...

If I remember correctly, the most famous source of this sentence should be "Journey to the West", right? Dare to love her fate, the same as the monkey who made a havoc in the heavenly palace?

Bai Shuiqiu now knows that many things in "Journey to the West" actually happened in ancient China.

It's just that the protagonist is not Sun Wukong, but the master Xuanzang who is profound in Buddhism.

As for those who have truly "jumped out of the Three Realms"...

Probably Xuanzang himself.

——But having said that, although Xuanzang’s cultivation attainments must be very strong, and all three apprentices were conquered by him alone, but if you really want to say that his strength is stronger than that monkey... .

Because no one knows now, whether Xuanzang subdued the monkey by force, or subdued the latter by his charisma, from the situation of the old monster, the latter possibility cannot be ruled out.

And Bai Shuiqiu also understood what Asakura Rie wanted to express.

To be honest, she thinks this girl is thinking too much. If she can really "jump out of the Three Realms", then at least she should be free from the life, old age, sickness and death that ordinary people have to endure.

In fact, although Bai Shuiqiu's current physique is much stronger than that of ordinary people, he will still be injured. so……

The reason for her "chessboard" to become blank is probably another——

She is a traveler.

Bai Shuiqiu did not feel that her cultivation qualifications surpassed those of Baishui Qisaki or Sana, but she did have one characteristic that the previous Baishui people did not possess, that is, the identity of a transmigrator, and the importance of being a traveller. Complete memory of another world.

Compared with the "Gate of Yellow Springs" that connects the two worlds of Yin and Yang, she has already passed through a "Gate of Planes".

Also from the moment she came to this world, the fate of the person named Bai Shuiqiu has been completely changed.

From this point of view, the "outlier" statement seems to be correct.

Because on the normal world line, she is a person who should not have existed. Therefore, no matter what method Asakura Rie uses, she cannot predict her fate.

As for the monkey that jumped out of the crack in the stone in Chinese mythology... It must be the same situation.

Well, there may be additional system reasons.

However, Bai Shuiqiu is now a little suspicious of the true identity of this system on his body, so this reason can only be considered half of the time...

all in all.

Whether the fate is fixed or undecided, there is no point in tangling with this. Anyway, Bai Shuiqiu couldn't let himself repeat the mistakes of Sana.

Even if she doesn't think about any living beings, and only thinks about her own life, she will do her best to end the so-called "curse" in her own generation, and it is best to eliminate the hidden danger of Lantern Mountain that has existed for 70 years. get rid of.

Of course it's best if you can.

If it really can't be done...

Then she can only consider that before the situation has completely deteriorated, she will take Keiko, Chiyo and others to pack up and flee back to China.

At that time, even if the "Gate of Yellow Springs" is opened wide, a huge amount of evil things pour into the world, and the scene of the ghosts walking at night in the Heian era will be repeated again. …

Of course, if Bai Shuiqiu really did that, it would be equivalent to offending the cultivation world of Dongying and Huaxia at once, and her current identity is still a witch of Dongying, so I am afraid she will not be regarded by Chinese practitioners. It is "one's own person", and it will be good to not be driven out of the Chinese practice world by then, and it is even more unrealistic to want to live with peace of mind. Therefore, it can only be regarded as a last resort when there is no other way out.

The air in the hall became quiet again.

Bai Shuiqiu didn't know what to say.

And Asakura Rie also fell silent, looking down at the "chessboard" drawn by the tea on the coffee table, as if thinking and analyzing something.

For a long time, no one spoke again.

Bai Shuiqiu felt a little dry, so he picked up the teacup on the table and drank it.

During the previous few hours of meeting, the maids in the manor came over to refill the tea several times, but the last time the tea was refilled was more than half an hour ago, so this cup of Yulu tea was a little cold.

However, with Bai Shuiqiu's physique, it is impossible for him to have a stomach upset after drinking tea.

"Well……"

I just don't know if it will just hit the menstrual period again and cause abdominal pain... But except for the first time it was a little more obvious, the next few times it felt fine, so there should be no problem.

Bai Shuiqiu thought to himself.

beside……

Asakura Mami also drank the tea in front of her in one breath, then put the teacup on the table, looked at Bai Shuiqiu and Asakura Rie, and said with a smile, "Okay, Xiaoqiu, and sister, Stop discussing these incomprehensible topics, what fate, curse, where to eat is important.

If you don't hurry over, the delicious food will be eaten by Master Tian Yuan and the others, right? "
