Tokyo Swordmaster Online Dealer

Ikkyu Yoshiya immediately felt alarmed.

He has seen a lot and has encountered this kind of situation before.

Thirty years ago, a sea monster was causing trouble in Kyushu. It was finally discovered that the culprit was a "god" from outside this world. Ikkyu Yoshiya could not see the fate of those foreign gods.

He rightfully wondered if the boy in front of him was an Outer God in disguise, or just a pawn they were using to extend their claws into this world.

However, the awe-inspiring sword energy from Uesugi Kiyoshi made him somewhat confused. The Outer Gods and this world were mutually exclusive. As long as he had anything to do with them, it would be impossible to cultivate such pure sword energy.

So, in surprise and doubt, he called out to Uesugi Kiyoshi.

He thought very simply.

I can’t see it, so I’ll calculate it.

Don’t underestimate a mere “drawing lots” ceremony. With the power of Ikkyu Yoshiya, this small wooden stick is a person’s “destiny”.

When Ikkyu Yoshiya saw Uesugi Kiyoshi coming as promised, he couldn't help but smile kindly.

"Young layman, please sign a lot."

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at the lottery box, picked it up, shook it, laughed, and handed it to Anzi first.

"Master, since I am destined to be with you, good things come in pairs. Why don't you ask for a fortune for my girlfriend first?"

He was polite in his words and gentle in his attitude, like a modest gentleman, so Ikkyu Yoshiya naturally agreed to what he said - he could feel that Xingzi was a little abnormal and different from ordinary people, but in his eyes, although her fate was a little blurred because of her closeness to the young man in front of her, it would not be difficult to sort it out for her if he put in some thought.

Seeing Ikkyu Yoshiya nod silently, Uesugi Kiyoshi gestured to Anzu to shake the lot. The little girl walked a few steps without taking her eyes off the lot tube.

After receiving a signal from Uesugi Kiyoshi, Anzi excitedly imitated what she saw on TV and slowly shook the lottery tube.

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled knowingly when he saw this action. Drawing lots is not that simple. If you shake the lot in the way Anzi is doing, even if you shake it for a lifetime, not a single lot may fall out.

He was about to speak out a reminder, but his pupils suddenly shrank and he swallowed the words back.

In his eyes, a light golden thread appeared out of thin air and wrapped around one of the wooden sticks. With a slight lift, it fell out cleanly.

Xingzi picked up the wooden stick with some trepidation, not daring to look at it, but respectfully handed it to the old monk opposite with both hands.

This means that he should interpret the fortune.

Ikkyu Yoshiya smiled and glanced at the wooden stick.

There is a line of short poem written on it, and at the top is the word "吉" (good luck) circled in a circle.

"After years of washing, the light will shine again, what you seek will finally come true, and the future will be bright."

"This young lady, this is a lucky sign."

Ikkyu Yoshiya has a very kind smile, which makes people like him at first sight. He has a kind face and is easy to convince people.

"You must have reunited with a noble person after a long separation, and washed away all the dust of the past. Good things will happen again, and a new life will gradually unfold. There will be good results."

Any monk in a temple would say this, it's just to fool pilgrims.

But Uesugi Qing's heart skipped a beat.

This old monk is quite interesting.

Putting aside other things, he could actually see this “reunion after a long separation”?

Is it guessing or real ability?

Now it was his turn to be confused.

When Xingzi heard the auspicious words from the old monk, she kept glancing at Uesugi Kiyoshi, feeling very happy. Although she didn't know what "reunion after a long separation" meant, she didn't care. Her heart was filled with the thought "there will be a good result".

Does this mean that Uesugi-kun and I will have a happy ending? !

As she thought about this, she tightly grasped the stick in her hand, looking reluctant, as if she didn't want to return it.

Ikkyu Yoshiya did not speak much to Anzi, but looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi with burning eyes and made a gesture of invitation.

Uesugi Kiyoshi understood what he meant. He took the fortune stick box from Anzi's hand. His eyes changed a little, but he didn't say much. He just nodded to the old monk and slowly shook the fortune stick box like Anzi did.

In the same way, a golden thread wrapped around the wooden stick, trying to pull it out of the stick tube.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

It was as if lightning flashed, and the golden thread twitched like crazy, and in the end it even pulled out two wooden sticks.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was slightly stunned. He knew the rules and whispered, "Master, do you want to draw again?"

If you draw multiple lots in this kind of fortune-telling, you have to shake the lot again.

Ikkyu Yoshiya waved his hand solemnly to stop Uesugi Kiyoshi, and quickly picked up the two wooden sticks from the table.

In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with the magic.

This kind of fortune-telling is actually a specific ritual. The so-called ritual usually involves sacrificing or exchanging something.

Ikkyu Yoshiya offered "Buddha's light" in exchange for the "prophecy result".

He felt that the technique was correct, so it must be correct.

In short, these two lots represent Uesugi Kiyoshi's "destiny".

Although the situation was somewhat special, Ikkyu Yoshiya still breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that his fate could be predicted meant that this young man was not some "outer god". It seemed that the feeling just now was an illusion, or he had some special method that could block the trajectory of his own destiny.

This young man with such a powerful sword-like aura should have a profound teacher, so it is not surprising that he knows these things.

He then turned his attention to the wooden stick.

The first one is obviously "evil".

"The family is not prosperous, danger is the key to disaster, dark clouds invade the laurel, and the beauty is a stick of incense."

"."

"It is difficult for a family business to prosper, and there will be disasters and dangers throughout life. There will be many obstacles on the road ahead, just like dark clouds covering the moon. Even if you are by the side of a beautiful woman, it will only be temporary."

"Young layman, this sign is dangerous."

The other one is the completely opposite "Ji".

"The worries and regrets gradually melt away, and fame will be restored. Treasures and wealth will come to you, and you will meet the hero."

"The worries will vanish, the road to fame and fortune will be smooth, and wealth and status will follow. All this starts with meeting a good master."

"This is a lucky sign."

Ikkyu Yoshiya's eyebrows were almost knotted.

He had never been in this situation.

One is bad luck, the other is good luck, what’s going on?

Could it be that this person has two possible futures?

Uesugi Kiyoshi raised his eyebrows, but before he could say anything, Anzi beside him became anxious.

She didn't even hear the word "good luck" in her ears, and her eyes were filled with the word "bad luck".

There was a hint of pleading in Xingzi's tone.

"Master, is there any way to change my luck?!"

"Oh right, let's make a connection! We can make a connection, right?"

What Xingzi was talking about was a method of tying the fortune sticks in a temple or shrine to establish a connection with the gods. The Japanese superstitious believe that this will turn misfortune into good fortune.

Ikkyu Yoshiya shook his head subconsciously.

This is not a trick to fool people, this is the result he encountered.

There is no use in forming a connection.

Xingzi's expression visibly fell.

She muttered to herself, looking anxious.

"Then can we exchange it?"

"Can you please exchange my Ji for Uesugi-kun?!"

"It doesn't matter what happens to me."

Uesugi Kiyoshi came back to his senses and felt warm at heart when he heard this. He touched Anzi's little head and smiled lovingly.

"Really? But if you give this to me, Anzi might break up with me. After all, we've run out of luck."

An obvious expression of struggle fluctuated violently on Xingzi's face, but in the end she nodded firmly.

"I-I'm fine, Uesugi-kun, please be well and safe."

“There must be a better future!”

Xingzi clenched her fists, her big eyes sparkling, as if she was about to cry.

Uesugi Kiyoshi felt an inexplicable pang in his heart, and he put his arm around Anzi's shoulders, speaking in a gentle tone.

"I was just joking, Kyoko, we won't break up."

"A future without you is not a bright future."

"."

"Don't believe in gods or Buddhas, just believe in me."

Uesugi Kiyoshi's words had an inexplicable power that calmed down Anzi's originally impatient heart.

She nodded silently, and although her expression was still a little depressed, she didn't look so sad anymore.

After comforting Xiao Xingzi, Uesugi Qing looked up at the two wooden sticks in the old monk's hand.

The distinction is clear, like a fork in the road.

He had a feeling somehow.

It seemed like someone was forcing him to make a choice.

Two lots, two paths.

One path is covered with thorns, the other is unobstructed.

Of course, no matter which choice you make, there will be gains and losses.
