Recently, the Jing River Water Tribe had suffered heavy casualties. The Dragon King of the Jing River was furious. He wanted to investigate the cause of the casualties.
In the end, he found a fortune-teller who could calculate the location of the Jing River's water race. Therefore, the fishermen had harvested a lot from the Jing River's water race, causing the Jing River's water race to be damaged.
The Dragon King of the Jing River was furious. He turned into a white-robed scholar and went to Chang 'an City to find trouble with the physiognomist. The two of them bet on the time of tomorrow's rain and left a message that if the calculation was wrong, he would drive him out of the city.
Jing River Dragon King thought that victory was in his grasp, but who knew that the Heavenly Court would suddenly issue an imperial edict, requesting that it rain tomorrow. The timing was exactly the same as the physiognomist's calculation.
The Jing River Dragon King was unwilling to admit defeat and privately changed the timing of the rain, violating the heavenly laws. As a result, the Heavenly Court found out and punished him.
It turned out that the fortune teller was Yuan Shoucheng, Yuan Tiangang's uncle, and his divination skills were unfathomable.
Only then did the Dragon King of the Jing River realize that he had made a big mistake. He went to Chang 'an City to find a physiognomist to ask about the method of rescue.
Yuan Shoucheng instructed the Jing River Dragon King to look for Cheng Qiye, who had just walked past his fortune-telling stall, and begged him to save him.
"Yuan Shoucheng asked you to beg me?”
"Yes, sir."
"This Yuan Shoucheng actually dares to divine the heavenly secrets. How bold! Jing River Dragon King, do you know that he will definitely die no matter who wins or loses?”
The Dragon King of the Jing River was speechless.
"Sir, you mean…"
Cheng Qiye shook his head.
"The rain is the heavenly secrets. Yuan Shoucheng actually used a mortal body to calculate the heavenly secrets. I'm afraid he doesn't have much time left.”After Cheng Qiye said this, the Jing River Dragon King's expression became slightly dazed. So Yuan Shoucheng had actually gambled with his life for this bet!
Other people might not know about fortune-telling, but Cheng Qiye, who possessed the Sage State, knew about it.
This Yuan Shoucheng only had three years left to live, and he actually dared to use three years of his lifespan to divine the heavenly secrets. How much lifespan did he have to endure it?
"Life span is different from cultivation. Cultivation can be replenished with pills, but lifespan is determined by the weather. It's not something that can be
broken by human strength…"”
"I'm afraid the Prime Minister Yuan Shoucheng won't live long.”
Cheng Qiye, who had activated the Sage State, could also do fortune-telling. However, he wouldn't do it because imparting knowledge was the right way.
But Cheng Qiye didn't expect a golden light to shoot into the sky after he said that.
This golden light rose from Cheng Qiye's body and pierced through the heavens and earth.
The four words appeared in the sky!
Cheng Qiye's system changed.
[Skill Acquired: Prophecy.]
A prophecy: an ominous prophecy or omen that comes true at the cost of losing good fortune. (It cannot be used as an auspicious sign. It goes against the heavens and should be used with caution.)）
Sage state, Sage's words become a prophecy activated. Target: Yuan Shoucheng.
[Prophecy: Yuan Shoucheng's life is not long. Depriving Yuan Shoucheng of his remaining three years, fifteen days, and three hours of his original life, robbing him of all his luck, robbing him of all his ability to calculate his life! Yuan Shoucheng's life was exhausted, and he was destined to die.】
Cheng Qiye's eyes widened. What was going on?
He was just casually saying it, so how did the words of the Sage come true and fulfill the ominous omen?
Cheng Qiye checked the system and found that a second skill had appeared in his system.
This skill could only be used in the Sage state. If one was not in the Sage state, the skill could not be activated.
However, this name was really strange. The words were so uncommon that it became a prophecy.
"With this skill in hand, wouldn't I be able to curse my opponent? This was the true, most vicious curse! Using a prophecy to damage one's luck, what exactly was this luck? What negative effects would it have on him if he lost his good fortune? It was better to use this curse skill less often.”
The
fortune-teller who had set up his stall at the city gate was packing his bags. He felt guilty for harming the Jing River Dragon King, but when he thought of Cheng Qiye, he smiled."Strange warrior, the prime minister of the country, the Jing River Dragon King is saved!”
After he said these words, an ominous gust of wind blew.
Puff!
Yuan Shoucheng spat out a mouthful of blood. He knew that he had exposed the heavenly secrets and suffered the wrath of heaven.
"Sigh, I'm afraid that this divination will reduce my lifespan. I won't be able to keep my life…"
After Yuan Shoucheng finished speaking, he fell heavily to the ground with his head facing the sky. The back of his head hit the ground and never bounced up again. The surrounding pedestrians gathered around and were surprised to find that Divine Minister Yuan Shoucheng's aura had already ceased.
How could the secrets of heaven be revealed?
Outside Chang 'an City, in a pavilion.
The Jing River Dragon King took out a dragon pearl from his pocket.
"Sir, I know that the Dao of fortune telling is not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. All fortune tellers must accept an item in order to deceive the world. Please accept it…to save Xiao Long's life.”
Cheng Qiye looked at the dragon ball in the Jing River Dragon King's hand in surprise.
[Thousand-year Dragon Pearl: After consuming it, it will be immune to all poisons and can avoid fire and water. It will increase your cultivation by 1000 years. [Rarity: Precious]
The Jing River Dragon King had no doubt about Yuan Shoucheng because he could calculate the imperial edict of the Heavenly Court. If he said that this person could save him, then this person must have a way.
In order to survive, no matter how precious the Dragon Pearl was, he was willing to cut his flesh.
Cheng Qiye glanced at the Jing River Dragon King. If he accepted the Dragon Ball and did not save him, he was afraid that he would be entangled with him. If Cheng Qiye had not appeared in this world, he would have begged Li Shiming. Li Shiming pestered Wei Zheng to play chess and not let him kill the Jing River Dragon King. In the end, Wei Zheng killed the Jing River Dragon King in his dream.
Jing River Dragon King hated Li Shimin for not saving him, so he dragged him to the underworld. If it wasn't for the underworld protecting Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong would have died.
From this, it could be seen that the Jing River Dragon King was also very capable.
"In that case, I'll save you.”Cheng Qiye accepted the thousand-year dragon ball. The moment he accepted it, he felt as if the world was no longer prying on him.
No wonder fortune-tellers would ask for an item or money before they read their fortunes. It turned out that they really had the ability to hide the secrets of heaven.
[Obstructing the secrets of the heavens successfully: Obtained a chance to perform fortune-telling without any damage. Can be used at will without any side effects.】
After the system notification sounded, a new skill appeared.
Cheng Qiye's eyes lit up. He couldn't believe his eyes.
He had obtained skills one after another, and they were all skills related to fortune-telling.
The new skill appeared in the system again and Cheng Qiye looked at it carefully.
[Calculating without error: Calculating against the heavens, calculating without error, revealing the secrets of heaven, reducing one's lifespan.] (Unable to read my own fortune!)
From the looks of it, the rewards for this Imperial Teacher mission were very generous. He had actually obtained two skills in succession. Would he be able to obtain seven or eight skills after completing the mission?
Just as Cheng Qiye thought about this, the system notification sounded.
[Great Tang Imperial Teacher's mission skill reward completed!】
