Ji Yun's estimation was right. The three of them waited for an entire afternoon. When Chu Nan Gong stopped snoring, it was already sunset.
Chu Nan Gong slowly got up from the bed and slowly put on his shoes. He spent about the time it took to brew a cup of tea, and he kept yawning during this time. At this moment, Ji Yun and the other two had already stood up and waited for a long time.
Chu Nan Gong picked up his walking stick and turned around. He was wearing a gray robe with a black robe with white patterns on it. He was wearing a blue crown, and his white eyebrows were thick and long. The beard on his chin was so long that it almost touched the ground. At first sight, it was really shocking.
"Aiya, I forgot that we have guests.”At this moment, Chu Nan Gong seemed to have noticed the three of them. He slapped his forehead and said,""I'm really sorry. This person gets sleepy easily when he's old.”
"Eh, this is Duke Chu Nan? The famous Senior Nan Gong?" Xing Hun and Great Si Ming stared dumbfoundedly at the old man who was walking towards them. They could not believe that the 'number one sage of Chu' and the one with the highest status in the Yin-Yang School, Chu Nan Gong, would actually look so old. How could he have the demeanor of an expert? Moreover, after hearing Chu Nan Gong's words, the two of them could not help but criticize this old man for being a little…shameless! Yes, he was a scoundrel!
"Disciple Ji Yun greets Senior Nan Gong.”Ji Yun had already seen Chu Nan Gong's appearance, so he naturally wasn't surprised at all. He bowed respectfully to Chu Nan Gong.
Xing Hun and Great Si Ming quickly collected themselves and bowed to Chu Nan Gong."Disciple Xing Hun (You Yue) greets Senior Nan Gong."”
Chu Nan Gong stopped in the middle of the room. Before he could say anything, he coughed violently as if he was about to die, causing Great Si Ming and the other two to shake their heads again." I didn't expect the legendary immortal to look like this!"”
"It seems that you are very disappointed in this old man?”Chu Nan Gong ignored their salutations and suddenly sighed.""Sigh, forget it. There's no need to give gifts. Young people these days were really rude. They slandered others in their hearts the first time they met and even called them scoundrels.”
Star Soul Great Si Ming's expression changed drastically. Just now, such a thought had appeared in their minds, but it had only flashed past. However, in that instant, Chu Nan Gong had actually seen through it. This shocked the two of them and they did not dare to be disrespectful to Chu Nan Gong, this legendary senior.
Chu Nan Gong was just saying, so he naturally wouldn't really blame them. Without waiting for the three of them to reply, he looked at Ji Yun again." You're the kid that the Ji family's girl picked up? Yin-Yang School's Saint Child?"
"Uhh." Ji Yun was a little embarrassed by Chu Nan Gong's blunt words. He could only laugh dryly and say," That's right, kid."”
"Yes." Chu Nan Gong sized up Ji Yun from head to toe. His eyes did not change at all, and he still looked as if he had not woken up. However, Ji Yun felt that this seemingly turbid gaze was actually bottomless. It looked deep into his heart. Pressure. Under Chu Nangong's observation, Ji Yun felt waves of invisible pressure, which was not much weaker than Donghuang Taiyi's pressure. To Ji Yun, the feeling of being seen through and having all his secrets exposed was even more unbearable.
Chu Nan Gong had been watching Ji Yun until he felt his heart grow weak. Then, he turned his gaze and inadvertently swept his gaze over the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book on the table. Ji Yun's heart skipped a beat when he noticed this detail. Although he did not know what Chu Nan Gong's intention was, he was secretly glad that he did not rashly open the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book earlier.
After a while, Chu Nan Gong said with a deeper meaning,""Not bad, kid."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the room. As he walked, he said,"Knowing that you brought good wine, this old man slept for the entire afternoon. His stomach just so happens to be empty.”
Ji Yun shook his head with a bitter smile and asked Great Si Ming to fetch the wine on the horse.
……
After dinner, the sun had set and the moon had risen.
Chu Nangong pointed at the few small houses next door." You guys can stay here for now. Little Yun, come with me. Don't you have something to ask me?"”With that, he walked straight to the main house.
Ji Yun instructed the two of them, and after tidying up his state of mind, he walked into Chu Nan Gong's room.
"Sit." Chu Nan Gong was kneeling behind a few tables. When he saw Ji Yun enter, he pointed at the front of the table. Ji Yun didn't stand on ceremony. He cupped his hands towards Chu Nan Gong and knelt down. On the table, the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book was placed quietly.
The two of them didn't play the game of silence being golden anymore. They didn't even say anything else. Chu Nan Gong went straight to the point.
"You didn't open it. The old man found it strange. You should really want to read this book, right?" Chu Nan Gong said indifferently. At this moment, he did not have the slightest bit of that old and indecent tone. Instead, he had the appearance of a transcendent expert.
"Senior Nan Gong, how can you be sure that Yun will recognize this Yellow Stone Heavenly Book? And how did you know that the cloud was interested in it?" Ji Yunque asked instead of answering.
"I don't know." Chu Nan Gong's answer was beyond Ji Yun's expectations. "It was just a feeling, so I did it.”
Seeing Ji Yun's surprised and doubtful expression, Chu Nan Gong explained,""You should have heard that you are an anomaly.”
"Another anomaly." Ji Yun frowned. This wasn't the first time he had heard this term. He had heard it from the Moon Goddess before.
"What exactly are these abnormal people? What does it have to do with this?" Ji Yun asked.
Chu Nan Gong looked at Ji Yun as if he was thinking of an excuse. After a while, he slowly said,""There are 50 Great Daos, 49 are derived from the heavens, and only one of them can escape. There was no absolute in the world.'One' was the uncertain chance of survival in the unseen world. It was a variable.”
Ji Yun nodded. This was a well-known saying, but it was clearly not the main point of Chu Nan Gong's words.
"But in reality, under the Great Dao, all karma and reincarnation in a world are destined. Even as the spirit of all living things, everyone has their own set of karma, which we call fate. From ancient times until now, countless people wanted to break and control their own destiny, and even influence and control the fate of others.”Chu Nan Gong continued to speak, his tone containing an unfathomable meaning.
" But most of them failed, or they deceived themselves into thinking that they had escaped the shackles of fate, but in reality, they were always controlled by fate. There were very few who truly succeeded. Those who could truly break the established fate and write their own legends were the people of change.”
"These people have great luck or great wisdom, but they are not willing to be ordinary. After breaking through the shackles of fate, they were no longer subject to fate's arrangements. They even wanted to arrange the fate of others. Therefore, the people who survived in the end were all the most brilliant figures of each era.”
"But nothing can escape karma. If you want to gain something, you have to pay something. Those who changed were free from the shackles of fate and were not tolerated by the heavens, so only a few could survive and succeed.”
At this point, Chu Nan Gong let out a soft sigh. He then looked at Ji Yun and slowly said,""There is also a type of person who is the biggest variable. The existence of such a person was an anomaly!”Ji Yun had been silently listening to Chu Nan Gong's words. Fate and variables were illusory, and many people did not comment on them. Especially in the world of his previous life, such things were classified as superstitions and were not accepted by people. However, in this world, these things that could not be seen or touched really existed, and they were extremely important. Over the years, Ji Yun had more or less understood a little, but he still didn't know much and couldn't get to the point. Chu Nan Gong's detailed and systematic explanation had truly opened the door for Ji Yun, and the benefits it brought were obvious.
At this moment, Chu Nan Gong suddenly stopped and looked straight at him. This gave Ji Yun a bad feeling. He was afraid that Chu Nan Gong's next words would shock him.
"The so-called abnormal number can be directly understood as a special variable. This kind of person was born to be an existence that was not bound by any restrictions. His fate was uncontrollable, and the secrets of heaven were unpredictable. Moreover, this kind of person did not need to do anything deliberately. He would unknowingly influence and even change the fate of others, and even the fate of the entire world. " And if it's intentional…" Chu Nan Gong's turbid eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light as he stared at Ji Yun with a burning gaze and said word by word,""They can easily disrupt fate and confuse the heavenly secrets.”
As expected, he was shocked enough! Ji Yun felt his scalp tingle. Disrupting fate and confusing the heavenly secrets was simply like a fantasy. Ji Yun had heard of such a method. In the legends, the Three Pure Ones, Goddess Nvywa, Zhunti, Jieyin, and the Three Sovereigns of the Human Tribe who were later equivalent to the Sages could do it. However, these were just ancient legends.
Did it have to be so mysterious! At this moment, Ji Yun only wanted to shout.
"Is there really such a thing? Does such a person really exist?" Ji Yun asked.
Chu Nan Gong shook his head," I don't know if this is true or not, but there are records of such people, such as Fuxi, Shennong, Chiyou…"
As Chu Nan Gong spat out the names one by one, Ji Yun felt his mouth go dry. He mumbled,""These are mostly legendary figures, and who knows if the records are true or false?”
Chu Nan Gong first nodded in agreement with Ji Yun's words, then shook his head." If they are already untraceable, then there is one more person who exists besides you.”
"Half? Who?"
"King of Qin Ying Zheng."
"Uhh." Ji Yun was speechless." If the rumors are true and these people can create an era when they grow up, then why would the heavens let them live so easily?”
"Even the heavens can't tolerate variables, and anomalies are naturally targets that the heavens must eliminate.”Chu Nan Gong nodded matter-of-factly and continued,""Therefore, most of the deviants die young. Even if they grow up, the process is extremely difficult.”
Ji Yun carefully thought about what Chu Nan Gong said and felt that it made sense. However, there was a problem that could not be explained, and that was Ji Yun's own growth experience.
"You said that I am an abnormal person, but why do I not seem to be…persecuted by nature? There isn't even any danger?"
Chu Nan Gong also frowned, but his expression was a little comical. After a long time, Chu Nan Gong sighed." Strange, strange! "Even if an abnormal person transcends fate, they are still within the laws. I can also see some things, but your entire trajectory is unknown. Kid, you are simply an anomaly among anomalies. Not only is the future unpredictable, even the past you have experienced is a blur. This is like…"
The more he spoke, the more Chu Nan Gong shook his head. Ji Yun's heart skipped a beat when he heard Chu Nan Gong's unfinished words.
As expected, Chu Nan Gong had been preparing for a long time, and the words he said made Ji Yun's breathing stop.
"It's as if you don't belong to this world! And you are not within the rules of this world!”
