What a lucky world!

Chapter 59: What a Lucky World

When Zhang Mu said this, the old man almost tore his white beard off. He looked at Zhang Mu in disbelief and said, "You... think about it again?"

Zhang Mu said sincerely, "Don't think about it."

"I call Brother Han Big Brother, so I'm Big Brother. Senior, you and Brother Han are brothers from the village, so it's only natural for me to call you Big Brother too..."

Xuan Ji nodded seriously.

The old man waved his hand: "No, there is a generation gap."

"Old Han... Little Han, he's your eldest brother, right? I watched him grow up, so what should I call him?"

Zhang Mu asked tentatively, "Uncle?"

The old man smacked his lips and said, "Maybe you can be bolder."

"Grandpa?" Zhang Mu asked tentatively.

The old man took a deep breath, suppressed his urge to beat Zhang Mu, and was about to speak to guide him when he suddenly met Zhang Mu's clear eyes and reacted immediately.

This kid is playing dumb.

……

Zhang Mu was naturally pretending to be stupid.

Nonsense, a person suddenly appears with unfathomable strength, but he is eager to make friends with you. Isn’t that suspicious?

To take a step back, even if they were from Qianyuan Wuzhai, even if they were related to Lao Han, they were bandit strongholds after all, and they could not be allowed to appear in public.

Just like the relationship between some people, being close is good, but being too close may not be good.

But I didn't understand the other person's temper, so I obviously couldn't refuse directly. I could only play dumb.

"Are you pretending to be confused, kid?" the old man asked softly.

"Senior, your words really confuse me..."

The old man raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you know who I am?"

Zhang Mu just smiled and didn't respond.

The old man looked at Zhang Mu again, studied him carefully for a moment, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahaha..."

"Senior, if you laugh like that, you'll attract the attention of other people from the escort agency."

"Cough cough cough..." The old man's laughter stopped abruptly. He coughed twice and looked at Zhang Mu with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He has a clear mind and is cautious. In addition, according to recent observations, he is smart, kind but not pedantic, has excellent talent and good understanding.

If it is true as that person predicted, troubled times are coming.

This kid is a pillar who can support the family.

My cultivation is still a little behind, but I’m still young and I’m still here, so I can catch up.

He knew his own business. If it wasn't for the sake of the village, why would he come down the mountain to look after a child for no reason given his status?

It’s a pity that it seems that our destiny has not arrived yet.

However, the old man was not in a hurry. As long as the child had heroic spirit in his heart, the world would help him make the choice.

But now that we have met, we should first establish our destiny.

"Ahem..." The old man cleared his throat again and said, "Let's be frank. I'll tell you the truth."

"I am the martial arts instructor of Qianyuan Martial Arts Village!"

"Seeing that you have great talent, I'm attracted to your talent."

"I'd like to take you in as my apprentice, what do you think?"

Start by treating him as an apprentice. Once the relationship is good, the father-son relationship will be easy.

Zhang Mu hesitated after hearing this and asked, "Excuse me, what is your cultivation level, Senior?"

The old man smiled faintly: "Nourishment!"

Zhang Mu raised his eyebrows.

Nourishing fluid, that would be equivalent to crushing Wan'an County.

"Then...if I want to become your disciple, do I have to leave the escort agency and go up the mountain with you?" Zhang Mu asked again.

The old man chuckled and said, "If you're willing, we can leave now."

Zhang Mu looked at the old man with a smile and said nothing.

"Alas, the mountain is not a den of dragons and tigers." The old man sighed, "Well, it's up to you whether you go up the mountain or not."

"But...if you don't go up the mountain, you can only be a nominal disciple."

"It's not that I'm stingy, but the fortunes of my direct disciples are connected. You don't go up the mountain, but you can share my village's fortune. This is unfair to the other people in the village."

Zhang Mu was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

"If their fates are connected, can they affect others?" Zhang Mu asked puzzledly, "How?"

Hearing this, the old man looked at Xuan Ji in Zhang Mu's arms and said, "You haven't told him?"

Xuan Ji: Meow?

The old man reached out and patted Xuan Ji's head: "Don't pretend, I know you are a Buddhist meritorious beast, and you can speak human words."

Zhang Mu was stunned again, and lowered his head to look at Xuan Ji: A Buddhist beast of merit?
Xuan Ji: (*ΦωΦ*)
Meow meow, I have to get away with it by being cute.

"Forget it, it seems that this little cat doesn't know what's going on." The old man yawned, "Do you have any wine? I... I'll drink with you while we chat."

Zhang Mu shrugged: "There's no wine here. I'll go to the kitchen to check."

"Alright, alright." The old man waved his hand. "Next time, I'll take care of it myself. Put the cat down first. I'll tell you about this matter of luck."

Xuan Ji: Let me go?

Zhang Mu put Xuan Ji down. Xuan Ji meowed and climbed onto Zhang Mu's shoulder again. She looked up at the old man proudly and said, "I want to listen too, meow..."

The old man nodded indifferently, motioned Zhang Mu to sit down, and asked, "How much do you know about luck?"

"Luck?" Zhang Mu patted Xuan Ji and said, "Xuan Ji once told me that in ancient times, humans and demons fought a war, and humans won, so they became the protagonists of heaven and earth and took all the luck of heaven and earth."

"The demon race has no luck, so their cultivation is against the will of heaven, and they will be struck by heavenly calamity. We humans have good luck, so our cultivation is smooth."

"This is also the reason why the vast Shenzhou is controlled by our human race."

Xuan Ji nodded heavily.

Old man, do you hear me? I will educate my servant.

"Well, that means I don't understand it at all." The old man said thoughtfully. Xuan Ji: (=`=；)?

Old man, you curse very dirty...

"Luck is essentially a kind of will," the old man continued. "To put it simply, it's a will that can control the power of heaven and earth."

"The stronger the will, the easier it is to achieve the wishes within it."

Zhang Mu frowned slightly, as if he had returned to his previous life when his physics teacher was explaining the direction of force.

Xuan Ji's pupils also dilated, as if she saw two butterflies flying in front of her eyes and she really wanted to catch them.

The man and the cat were both there, but their souls had flown away for a while.

Seeing Zhang Mu and Xuan Ji's same confused expressions, the old man shook his head.

"for example."

"If a person wants to be emperor and has strong luck, when he rebels, he will be invincible and victorious in every battle. Anyone he saves will either be a famous minister or a famous general. He has the right time, place, and people in his hands."

"If a family has strong luck, then the family will have many descendants, and the chances of the descendants becoming successful are very high, ensuring that the family will prosper for generations."

"If a court has strong luck, it will enjoy a long and prosperous reign, produce many talented people, and enjoy good weather and peace throughout the country."

"On the contrary, people will face many misfortunes; families may be plundered and exterminated; and the imperial court may face the crisis of dynastic change."

"I understand now." Zhang Mu nodded. "The stronger your luck, the stronger the blessing of heaven and earth. When things happen, the probability of them turning out in a good direction will be higher. Is that what you mean?"

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "You can think so."

"A person's luck can be roughly divided into four categories."

"The first type is the luck you get from being born as a human. This is the luck of your race."

"This is exactly what the kitten said. Humans who practice cultivation will not encounter heavenly tribulations, but demons who practice cultivation will encounter heavenly tribulations. However, this is not the complete answer."

"It's not that there are no risks in cultivation for humans, but these risks are easier to deal with than for demons. Of course, those with strong luck will be more relaxed when facing the risks of cultivation. You will feel this when you break through the Tongmai realm in the future."

"The second type is the destiny of a dynasty. Only when the destiny of all living beings is announced to heaven and earth, and the destiny of all living beings is gathered, and the imperial seal of destiny is activated, can it be considered a dynasty and have this kind of destiny."

"The people of the Guo Dynasty are born with this kind of luck. For example, you are now blessed with the luck of the Dayun Dynasty."

"When the country becomes stronger and a prosperous era arrives, this good fortune will bring more opportunities to people."

"During prosperous times, there are numerous wealthy merchants, great scholars, famous ministers, and great generals; the people live and work in peace and contentment, and all industries flourish; these are all due to the good fortune of the country."

"On the contrary, all industries are in decline, and the people are living in poverty. Although some people have risen against the tide, the fate of the vast majority is like grass in the face of the shattered national destiny, not worth mentioning."

Zhang Mu nodded after hearing this.

In the past life, there was a saying: A speck of dust in the times, when it falls on a person's head, is like a mountain.

I guess that's the reason.

The old man took a sip from his teacup and continued, "The third type is the family's power and luck."

"When a family or force is strong enough, it can generate its own unique destiny."

"For example, the world-famous Five Surnames and Seven Noble Houses are aristocratic families with their own unique fortunes."

"Generally speaking, if there is a Grandmaster in a family or force, it can create its own destiny."

"Finally, it's about individual destiny," the old man said leisurely. "A person's fate is actually the entanglement of these four kinds of destiny, ultimately forming the path of life. They influence and complement each other, ultimately forming each unique life."

"The Confucian sages said: 'Cultivate oneself, regulate the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world.' This is actually all about destiny."

After listening to the old man's story, Zhang Mu was thinking about it when he suddenly realized it.

wrong!

Just now he said that if he was recognized as a direct disciple, it would affect the fortune of the village; he also said that only the master could have his own unique fortune.

Is there a grandmaster in Qianyuan Wuzhai?

"Hahaha... Grandmaster?" The old man smiled and shook his head, but his eyes revealed a sense of reminiscence, "Of course there is no Grandmaster."

"Wu Village does not enjoy the protection of the National Dynasty's luck. It is an independent force outside of the National Dynasty, so it has its own unique luck."

"If you follow me up the mountain and join the Wuzhai, you won't have the country's fortune, only the fortune of our village."

"If you become a member of my Wuzhai, your luck can benefit the village, and the village's luck will also give you a share of protection. This is called fairness."

"But if you become my direct disciple and don't join the Wuzhai, then the village's luck will be shared with you, but you won't be able to bring any bonus to the village's luck."

"That's not fair."

The old man paused, then added: "But don't think that the fortune of the Shanzhai is worse than the national fortune of the Dayun Dynasty today."

"Back then, the Tianji Sect wrote a book called "Wangqi Pu" (Astrology Chart), which divided the world's destiny into seven colors: yellow, green, cyan, blue, red, purple, and gold. It is also called the Seven Colors of Destiny."

"Gold specifically refers to the nation's destiny. No matter how the nation's affairs change, they remain golden."

“However, without a family background of fame or military exploits, the luck that ordinary people can obtain is only the white luck that is integrated into silver and money, not into the seven colors.”

"Not as good as my fake Huang Qi."

"The white luck integrated into silver and money!" Zhang Mu was stunned.

It turns out that the white mist on the silver is the fortune of the dynasty scattered among the people!

That’s right, only silver and money can be circulated throughout the world, and everyone wants and uses them.

Therefore, the Tianji Ranking is actually driven by luck.

It makes sense logically.

"Okay, I've said what I need to say. You should think carefully about my proposal." The old man got off the bed and said, "I'm temporarily staying at No. 17 Wanyong Lane. When you've made up your mind, you can come find me tomorrow."

"But if you don't come after tomorrow, I will leave."

The old man stood up and walked out the door.

"Senior, I don't even know your name!"

"Wei Wuyou!" The old man left a name and disappeared into the night.

Zhang Mu looked outside the door, seemingly lost in thought. At this time, Xuan Ji also planned to slip away quietly, but was caught by Zhang Mu.

Xuan Ji: “Meow?”

Zhang Mu looked at Xuan Ji and said calmly, "The guardian beast of Buddhism?"

"Aren't you going to tell me about this?"

　Tomorrow's follow-up reading data is very important. I hope that even if you are tired of reading, you can come and follow it tomorrow and give me some data. Thank you, Lao Ba.
