Chapter 61 [Eyes]
The white palm was placed between the ancient doors.
This door has not been opened for a long time, or in other words, only a very small number of people are qualified to enter the [Library].
As the Grand Astrologer of Luofu, Fu Xuan naturally has the qualifications to enter, but before that he has not really made up his mind to cut off all the past.
The master bore the inevitable fate on her behalf.
An Ming's gentle eyes before he left.
If her divination could be more accurate, even just a little bit, in those moments when she had a choice, could it change the sad future?
This way you can make the right choices and important people won’t leave you one after another.
Fu Xuan pushed open the ancient door without any hesitation.
She didn't want to feel that powerlessness again.
She wanted that fate to become the past under her feet.
At the end of the towering bookshelves stood the weathered figure of an old man.
"What are you thinking?"
The old man turned around with his cane, and although his eyes behind his sunglasses were dim, they seemed to contain the truth and wisdom of all things in the world.
“There is only one path to destiny. In this case, I must make the right choice at every moment of choice,” Fu Xuan said as he walked towards the old man at the end step by step.
The bookshelves on both sides were swallowed up by the gorgeous Milky Way at some point, and the library was transformed into a mysterious palace of the universe in an instant, with wisdom and knowledge flowing in substance.
“There is no answer.”
The old man paused with his cane and said, "I can only give you questions and eyes to see them."
"Then give me [Eyes]."
"Even if it is destined, I will find a chance to change it."
Fu Xuan was not afraid of pain. She had already experienced the most painful thing in the world. The pain of being separated from her beloved by the sea of stars and being unable to do anything was far beyond the limit of what the flesh could endure.
"as you wish."
The walking stick lightly tapped the stars, and thousands of hexagrams shone among them, converging into amethyst-like [eye], which slowly embedded itself into the center of Fu Xuan's forehead.
The intense pain made Fu Xuan groan in agony. This painful feeling would accompany her throughout her future and exist as an eternal torture instrument.
If you do this... you will be able to see your destiny clearly.
She would rather bear it!
"Every sip and every bite is predestined."
"This is your destiny, to ascend the throne of the Grand Soothsayer."
She saw her younger self, and her father and elders spoke in glorious tones about how it was a great blessing.
"I am Fu Xuan, and I would like to greet Master Taibu."
She saw her first meeting with Jingtian, the unremarkable man smiled and patted her head, and from that day on he became her master.
"Who are you calling an old woman?"
She saw An Ming, who was still a boy, crying and going to Jingtian to complain.
The first time I called her senior sister.
He dozed off while studying divination under the peach tree.
Every year's meeting.
He always left a string of his most precious candied haws for her.
The first time I called her Sister Xuan'er.
First kiss in your own bedroom.
Under the snow, we promised to stay together for life.
"Xuan'er."
"I--"
Fu Xuan suddenly felt a headache. Those important memories became blurred in the vortex, and the world in front of him seemed to become extremely clear.
The fog gradually dissipated, and there was no longer any right or wrong in the multiple-choice questions. What appeared in Fu Xuan's eyes now was -
There is only one way.
That's the only right path.
"Is this your original intention of seeking vision?" The old man seemed to have read a lot, "I saw your dreams."
“Those were not dreams.”
The Dharma Eye on his forehead flashed with magnificent brilliance, and there was only clear rationality in Fu Xuan's eyes, "That is my past, which shaped everything about me."
There is only one path to destiny.
Yes.
Fu Xuan finally understood what his master said. It turned out that there was really only one path to destiny.
How ridiculous, again...
How sad.
...
...
"I'm home?"
"Why is it you..."
"Why can't it be me?!"
Aini's pretty eyebrows were raised, and she said with a pouty mouth: "Even if we are old friends, I can't let you escape from prison casually. Let's agree in advance that work is work, don't cause trouble for me."
"Here, your lunch."
An Ming looked at the unappetizing lunch and sighed.
Three days have passed since I returned to Yuque. Although it is said that I am under permanent confinement, I am actually still in the original courtyard of Jingtian, but I cannot go out at will.
The Yunqi who was in charge of looking after him was none other than Aini. She seemed much more reliable after not seeing her for a few years.
"If you don't know how to cook, just bring the ingredients next time."
"You want to poison me?"
"?"
An Ming stood up expressionlessly and punched the girl on the back of the head.
Annie almost fell to the ground and fell asleep, but fortunately An Ming didn't use much force. She accepted the fact with a sad face. If An Ming wanted to "escape from prison", he would have left long ago.
"okay."
Annie pouted and left the yard feeling aggrieved. For the first time, she began to question her own guarding job.
No, what does the general mean by asking her to be a guard?
When you feel you are useless, please look at Aini who is in charge of taking care of Anming.jpg.
The peach trees in the courtyard are still full of vitality, and it seems that someone comes to water and care for them regularly.
An Ming looked at the broken Wu Ye and said sorry in his heart, for having wasted its will over the years.
Now there is enough time to reforge Wuye and at the same time forge the broken sword heart.
[At the age of 20, An Ming began the first year of his permanent ban. Except for not being able to move around freely in Yuque, nothing seemed to have changed.]
[Yao Guang would still come to him to learn from him, and seeing that Wu Ye still had no progress, he would also pass on some forging techniques, and by the way, he brought An Ming a mountain of various books.]
[In the past, An Ming must have believed that youth has no price. The moment he turned the page of a book, he would fall into a peaceful sleep like a baby. But now he can calm down and read the contents.]
[The only difference is that Fu Xuan never came to Yuque again]
Under the peach tree, An Ming held the book "A Must-Have for Forging Beginners - Let Your Sword Jump Up and Forge by Itself" in one hand, and held the wooden sword in the other hand, easily defusing every attack from Annie with all her might.
"7 minutes, how come it's worse than yesterday."
An Ming frowned, closed the book in his hand and looked at Annie, who was lying on the lawn, panting and looking at the sky and counting the clouds. He felt helpless and amused.
Annie is like a salted fish, the kind that won't move even if you whip it to death.
"Forgive me...I was wrong, I'm sorry!"
"Actually, I'm the one who's been permanently banned, right? I'm not crazy, haha! One sword lights up the nineteen continents!"
"..."
An Ming was silent as he watched Annie going crazy. Could it be that she really went crazy from practicing sword skills?
