Chapter 9 Chapter Eight What is Fate
Chen Fei smiled, but he couldn't tell whether it was sadness or joy.
The civet cat picked up the fifth card, her eyes dazed for a while, she looked at Chen Fei, her voice suddenly became a little sad, "The fifth card, empress. Backlash."
"What means?"
The civet was silent for a long time before saying word by word: "The empress is graceful and luxurious, and I am the only one who respects me. When she is in the front position, it represents charm, elegance and unreserved love, but when she is in the reverse position, it represents conceit and cannot tolerate defects. .”
Chen Fei's expression finally changed. He looked back at the civet cat with a surprised expression.
What is the mystery of this card?Why was he so shocked?
"Empress. Backlash. Her self-confidence and even the hem of her skirt rippled with pride. All living beings dare not look directly at her, but can only worship her. But when she meets an opponent, it is when her self-confidence disappears..." Before she finished speaking, she just After hearing a "snap", the black cat grabbed the card and turned it back.
This card is about one night, right?Although there is no basis, I am sure that this card refers to one night.Why did the fortune-telling for my husband take so long?The husband said that he didn't like Yixi, but why did everyone's words imply that they had sinful feelings during this journey?
The civet sighed, and said softly: "Mao'er, don't you want me to say any more? Well, then, I won't say any more about this card."
The black cat meowed a few times, its blue eyes turned greener, and the orange eyes turned oranger.
"Sixth, unique. Cold and lonely. The prosperity on the surface can't hide the loneliness in the heart. No matter how beautiful you are on the surface, everything is not what you want. Even pride seems hypocritical. You never open your heart to others. Never tell anyone what’s on your mind, so you have no friends. You’re surrounded by women who have no confidantes. They’re close to you, but they don’t know you.”
I thought of Ayou, Qiyu, and those names that I either knew or didn't know.Those people are vague shadows to me, but to Chen Fei?How much weight?
Suddenly, I felt a kind of emotion, like a faint veil, enveloping me completely, not painful, but bitter, not sad, but sad.
Then I saw the civet take the last card—
Seven cards, the first six have weird patterns on them, only this one is blank, with nothing on it.
"The last one, the end of your fate."
My breathing stopped suddenly, and my heartbeat started to increase. I don't know what the last card hinted at.
Unexpectedly, there was a self-deprecating smile on the corner of the civet's lips, and said lightly: "It's a pity that even I can't see what is written on it."
Chen Fei let out a long breath, but his expression became more relaxed, "It's fine if you don't know. The world changes at any time, how can you read them one by one?"
With a flick of the civet's sleeve, the seven dominoes disappeared immediately.She gathered her sleeves and took a few steps forward, stood in front of Chen Fei, and said, "You know the real purpose of my divination for you."
Chen Fei avoided her gaze a little, and said in a low voice, "Yes, I know."
The civet cat didn't allow him to dodge, looked straight at him, and said, "Then tell me, will you recognize me? Brother."
"Ayin..." Chen Fei's voice became anxious, but the black cat rushed over, clawing at his face.I couldn't help but shout out in shock: "Be careful!"
At the same time, a voice also shouted: "No! Don't!" The civet cat with its long sleeves like water rolled the black cat back. The black cat rolled over a few times with the wind of the sleeves and fell back on the long table, meowing.
The civet picked up the cat, turned around and walked a few steps, but turned back and said, "You called me Ayin just now, and you used to call me that..." She suddenly smiled, but the smile was not pure joy, but mixed with something more. What mixed emotions, "you go."
Chen Fei stood silently for a while and said, "Thank you." Turning around, he walked a few steps, and heard the civet cat say, "Listen to me, don't run away."
Chen Fei was shocked, and he opened his mouth several times without saying a word.
"A lot of people can live their lives the way they want, but you can't."
"Why can't I?" Chen Fei finally spoke with a dull voice.
"Because all your abilities now come from the gifts of the past. The passing of Jian Lingxi is not only your matter, it is the pain of many people. When you use his peach leaves, his lightness skills, and his Wisdom, his composure, when you face the Demon Palace, do you think you are still Chen Fei? A pure storyteller?" There was indifference in the civet's eyes, but the wisdom and calmness in his eyes made people feel that everything What she said must be right.
Chen Fei smiled, and that smile contained many things - bitterness, helplessness, self-deprecation, persistence... and finally faded into a breeze.
A white light flew out from the civet's sleeve, and Chen Fei caught it subconsciously. It turned out to be the seventh domino without a pattern.
The civet took a deep look at him for the last time, and the color of the plain robe changed from thick to light, and slowly disappeared into the air.
Chen Fei's eyes still stayed on the domino, I approached him, and said softly: "Let's go." It was only when I opened my mouth that I realized that my voice was so dry.
What kind of shock did the explanation of the seven cards bring to me?I can't tell.I only know that a kind of ominousness, or a premonition of impending parting, has surfaced and become more and more colorful.
If the ending is destined to be separated by fate, will I regret coming here?
Turning around, pushing the door, the light inside the door was so warm, and there was a plate of fruit on the round table.I have seen and eaten the scarlet fruit.
There is a small note under the plate, with beautiful handwriting on it: "Red silk fruit, used for healing; push back to the door, and you will find the Six Halls. Good luck to you." The last signature is "Qiu Chuang".
"She...is this considered a release?" I was surprised. Chen Fei nodded, and handed Zhu Guo to me, "I must accept this love." I ate a few of them as promised, and the pain on my forehead disappeared, and my spirit was lifted.Raising his eyebrows, Chen Fei was deep in thought. I couldn't help but muttered: "Sir..." He turned his head. "Sir, why is the civet cat your sister? How did your sister become a member of the Demon Palace?" Chen Fei sighed softly: "Jian Yin is a teacher of the old man of the gods, and the old man of the gods has only accepted two apprentices in his life, one is her, and the other is the twelve seasons." Ah, there is such a relationship? "A Yin is arrogant and stubborn by nature, unwilling to admit defeat. With the goal of the twelfth season, he insists on surpassing him. The two are a natural match, but because of this, they have become old enemies. From then on, whenever the twelve seasons do, A Yin and He fought against each other and fought like this for twenty years." "I see. What about that night? Is it because the twelfth season took me to reincarnate, so the civet deliberately resurrected for one night?" "Not exactly." Chen Fei hesitated for a moment before answering, "Ayin... adores Yixi very much." I raised my eyebrows in surprise, and Chen Fei said slowly: "On the day of Yixi's suicide, Twelve Seasons came with a magic mirror in his hand. Ayin used the sound transmission technique of thousands of miles to beg overnight but failed, so he managed to save the last image of Yixi In the mirror, I didn't expect to create today's disaster." The relevant scene resurfaced in my mind again, more clearly than last time: The woman knelt down to Twelve Seasons, and the magic mirror suddenly flew into the air, and the civet exclaimed in the mirror: "Princess, don't! Don't..." The woman didn't listen to her, she just raised her hand slowly, pressed the musk moon bead between her eyebrows and said: "The first light takes away my face; the second light takes away my wisdom; the third light takes away my wisdom; the third light takes away my wisdom." Take away my faith; the fourth light, take away my perception; the fifth light, take away my wealth; the sixth light, take away my life; the seventh light, take away my supernatural power. I use the musk moon Bead shattered, curse Jingxi Lake to dry up forever!" Seven strange lights rose out of thin air, flew around her head and then gathered together, then exploded with a bang—— From then on, it ceases to exist! Yixi died like that!Yixi died like that!I remembered!I clutched my chest and staggered back a few steps. I remembered... The mysterious eye of fate opened slowly, allowing me to see myself in the previous life, vanishing into ashes in the beam of light.It was him, it was Jian Lingxi, it was he who ruined me, it was he who ruined me! I continued to back away, my eyes opened wider and wider, and the fear in my heart became more and more intense.If it is said that I was just a person from another world, although closely related, but did not have substantial meaning, then at this moment, I seem to have become her, every feeling of her, every These thoughts have clearly penetrated into my flesh and blood. It was a kind of despair, mixed with the pleasure of self-mutilation and destruction! She takes revenge on everyone with death, those she loves, those she hates, and her next life - me. Chen Fei noticed my strangeness, stepped forward and grabbed my arm and said, "What's wrong with you, Xiaoxi?" I woke up from the nightmare-like hallucinations, and said anxiously: "Sir...don't go! Don't go, okay? We won't enter the Nine Palaces, and we won't see you overnight! Let's go back, go back to the original city, go back to the teahouse, or , to find Twelve Seasons, he is so amazing, he will definitely help us find a place where no one can find us..." "Xiaoxi?" "I don't want to see you overnight! I don't want to see her, I don't want to see her!" I turned around and ran back, opened the door when I came in, but saw that the dark and damp room was no longer on the other side of the door. The color of the room is pink, and there is a dressing table opposite the door. There are two people in front of the table, one is sitting and the other is standing.The standing man is combing the sitting man's hair. The person sitting is dressed in black, and the person combing his hair is dressed in white. Chen Fei's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly pulled me behind him, and his voice became extraordinarily dignified: "No two, it's you!" The man in white who combed his hair turned around and said loudly: "There is me." Chen Fei's face became even more ugly, and he held my hand a little tighter. "You don't need to look out of the way when old friends meet, do you? Please sit down." The man in black who was sitting also turned around and smiled sweetly. These are two people with reversed genders.The sitting one is clearly a man, but is more feminine than a woman; the standing one is a woman, but has the masculine air of a man.Different from all the people before, they have obvious evil spirit and malice in their eyes, and they can tell that they are definitely not kind. Chen Fei said coldly: "Let's be honest, how did you escape from the Tower of Righteousness? How did you end up here?" The two looked at each other and laughed in unison.The woman in white said: "It's very easy, kill all the people in the tower, and you will come out naturally." Bu Erdao: "The tower of right and wrong, as the name suggests, is hard to tell right from wrong, but if all people die, there will naturally be no right and wrong." Saying that one hand is not idle, he continued to comb Fuer's hair, and said while combing: "As for why we are here, thank you very much." "I?" Bu Er said leisurely: "If it wasn't for you, how could the Demon Palace hire us with a lot of money?" Chen Fei frowned, and said word by word: "You mean?" "Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that you have really stayed in the secular world for a long time, and you have become stupid. If it was Jian Lingxi in the past, how could it be possible that you still can't guess what's going on?" Although Shuo Yi was sighing, but The corners of the eyebrows and eyes are full of pride, "You have been tricked, Jian Lingxi." "Why don't you think about why all the people you meet along the way are old people? Do you think those are just coincidences?" Chen Fei said in a deep voice: "Everyone who enters the palace will meet old friends. This is the magic of the Demon Palace, isn't it?" Buer said leisurely: "For others, maybe. But you, Jian Lingxi, are different." I suddenly said: "So let's not break in, let's go back, sir!" As I said that, I took Chen Fei's hand and wanted to leave.A golden light flashed, and I felt something strange on my head. I stretched out my hand to touch it, and the long hair that was originally loose was tied back at some point, and the thing that tied the hair was cold and slippery. Said with a smile: "I advise you to stay still, otherwise I don't guarantee that my baby snake will bite you." What?snake? ! I immediately withdrew my hands, standing still and not daring to move. Chen Fei stretched out his hand and flicked it, and a small golden snake fell to the ground and curled up into a ball. It's really a snake!I was so frightened that I couldn't speak, so I snorted coldly and said, "You dare to destroy my precious snake, watch your trick!" The cold light swept up and flew towards Chen Fei like a silver net. There was nothing else in the room except the dressing table, so Chen Fei could only take off his robe again to hold the hidden weapon.Unexpectedly, his eyes lit up, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of his lips. When I saw that smile, I cried out inwardly. As soon as a needle came flying, a strong wind blew up. As soon as Chen Fei's robe caught up with him, it suddenly caught fire and burned to ashes in an instant.It turns out that there is something hidden in the needle, the purpose is not to shoot people but to destroy clothes! "Do you have any clothes to take off?" She giggled. Chen Fei only had a single white gown left on his body. I knew that he would never show himself naked because of his character, so I must have known his weakness, so I laughed even more happily. Unexpectedly, Chen Fei stood for a while, but said calmly: "Of course." Pulling his hands, he took off the last piece of clothing on his body. I couldn't help closing my eyes subconsciously, and I heard a scream in my ears: "You..." There was a sound in the cry, she opened her eyes and saw that she was standing there all the time, her gaze was slowly withdrawn from Chen Fei's face, and she lowered her head to look at her chest. I followed her gaze and saw that a silver needle was piercing her heart, and the blood flowed down gradually, gradually and rapidly. She opened her mouth, her lips trembling: "You, you, you...you... Qiu Chuang! Qiu Chuang! Help--" The white clothes swayed in the shouting, and it went faster than a hidden weapon, and disappeared in the blink of an eye ! Chen Fei put back the unlined clothes on his body, looking calm as if nothing had happened. "You just now..." I looked at him, and then at the direction where Shuo Yi left, still unable to believe that he really took off his clothes just now. Before Chen Fei could answer, there was applause. Turning his head to look, the one who applauded was Budu. "It's so witty, it's really worthy of being Jian Lingxi. Using the momentary loss of concentration when she said that, she stabbed her heart with the silver needle that she sent out in a panic. The timing, strength, and skill were all extremely wonderful. Admiration , I admire you." His voice was still cool, and his face still had a half-smile.There was so much cunning in the eyes of this bewitching man, it made me inexplicably worried. Chen Fei walked towards her and said calmly, "You can make a move now." Bu Er blinked: "What did you say?" "Say one is defeated, so it's your turn next, right?" Bu Er stared at him for a while, then suddenly giggled: "You are wrong, Jian Lingxi. My purpose of guarding this temple is not to defeat you, or to be defeated by you. It's - to delay." Both Chen Fei and I were stunned. "You can only stay in this hall forever, Jian Lingxi." Before the words fell, the other person had disappeared out of thin air.I pulled the door with my backhand, but the door didn't move, and I was shocked—— How is this going?What is the conspiracy of the magic palace?Why don't you let me see you overnight? Looking back at Chen Fei, Chen Fei was confused at first, but then his complexion turned pale as if remembering something. He quickly popped out three peach leaves, and the leaves inserted into the door, as if sinking into the sea, passing by, but the door was still intact. A voice sounded in the air: "Don't waste your energy, Jian Lingxi, you and I are brothers in the same sect, and no one knows the details of your martial arts better than me. If you want to break this sect, you must use the Qingjue Sword. But now Do you have the Absolute Sword? Hahahaha..." For a moment, that arrogant laughter echoed throughout the room, which was extremely ear-piercing. I took a few steps forward and held Chen Fei's hand. His hand was cold.I asked, "Sir, where is your sword?" He raised his eyebrows and gave me a look, which made my heart feel as if a needle had been pricked, and I began to twitch non-stop. Don't need him to tell me, because I've remembered— His sword... his sword is broken! After being sealed for nine years, Sanniang went to Jingxi Lake to wash her sword, broke her sword, and escaped overnight. The famous first sword "Qingjue" broke in two that day—— Because overnight.
"She...is this considered a release?" I was surprised. Chen Fei nodded, and handed Zhu Guo to me, "I must accept this love." I ate a few of them as promised, and the pain on my forehead disappeared, and my spirit was lifted.Raising his eyebrows, Chen Fei was deep in thought. I couldn't help but muttered: "Sir..."
