Chapter 452 Calamity will not disappear, it will only shift.
Zhu Wuyao had a thousand words in his heart, but didn't know how to express them.
What about scholars, poets, monks, and immortals, and what about ordinary people?
The bookseller didn't understand the Seven Killings Stele, but he truly interpreted the meaning of the book.
She originally looked down on this greedy bookseller.
On that day, because the bookseller overcharged him by a few coins, he looked down on the man and planned to use him to test his own cultivation results. Even if he couldn't save him, he wouldn't regret it.
But to everyone's surprise, the bookseller also looked down on her, and on the Seven Killings Stele she wrote.
She thought the article had many merits, but the bookseller only said, "It's all very confusing, I didn't understand it."
When did I become so arrogant?
A variety of thoughts surged in his mind, and when he looked up at the bookseller again, he became more solemn, truly regarding his life as a human life.
She had a deep connection with the bookseller.
Because of his own book, "The Seven Killings Stele," many variables have been added. This calamity will destroy not only the bookseller, but also the "Golden Buddha Stealing" project.
The moment the Golden Buddha appeared, Wu Heng saw through Hou Feng's true colors.
If this gets out, it might add a lot of "variables" to the world, and the Heavenly Way would need to make more corrections, which would be a huge drain on computing power.
If she hadn't intervened this time—
The bookseller who wrote the play "The Golden Buddha" will die.
The story of "The Golden Buddha," which caused cultivators to fight each other and mortals to die, could not survive in the world.
From this perspective, the karmic burden on the bookseller is far greater than Zhu Wuyao initially anticipated, and it remains to be seen whether his attempt to change his fate today has been effective...
"You wrote this play."
After saying this, Zhu Wuyao was somewhat at a loss.
In public, how could she ask the bookseller for something? If she admired him and wanted a small souvenir, the bookseller didn't have anything on him.
After a moment's thought, Zhu Wuyao handed over paper and pen, saying:
"I really enjoyed this play. May I write something down as a memento?"
The bookseller hurriedly wiped his hands on his clothes, not daring to delay the immortal's business. He felt fear in his heart and even began to regret asking for compensation. What if he hadn't written it well and angered the immortal...?
The more frightened he was, the more his hands trembled, and he bowed and smiled obsequiously.
I'm so anxious I don't know what to write.
Zhu Wuyao did not urge him.
She personally handled the compensation matters, specifically for the sake of the booksellers.
The bookseller hesitated for a long time, then finally wrote a sentence with trembling hands, and presented the paper to the bookseller.
"Do not draw your swords recklessly, lest you be used against yourself."
"I dare not judge good and evil lightly, for fear of accidentally causing human death."
The performance of "The Golden Buddha" was nearing its end, but before the last few lines could be sung, it was abruptly cut off, leaving only a mess in the courtyard.
The bookseller understood that the monk in front of him liked the play he had written.
Not knowing what to write, in a moment of desperation, I picked out two lines from the unfinished opera lyrics and wrote them down, which I then presented to the immortal before me.
Zhu Wuyao's gaze softened slightly.
The art of celestial observation silently began to operate, assessing objects, identifying characters, and judging fates.
"Without waves or ripples, the connection is shallow, and gains and losses are balanced."
This divination indicates that the bookseller will neither achieve great success and wealth in this life, nor will he suffer poverty and hardship.
Those with shallow karmic connections will not form many karmic relationships with others, nor will they be able to accomplish anything extraordinary.
But in the end, he escaped his fate and survived.
It didn't even alarm the Heavenly Dao.
This is not escaping fate, but deceiving fate.
Because when she changed the fate of the bookseller, Zhu Wuyao's Heavenly Observation Technique did not activate on its own, and her cultivation level did not improve.
He handed the money to the bookseller and watched his retreating figure, remaining silent for a moment.
If I'm not mistaken—the fate of the bookseller must have been concealed.
The two became acquainted through the book "Seven Killings Stele". The bookseller benefited from her and owed her a debt of karma. Taking advantage of this connection, Zhu Wuyao successfully used the game of "Seven Killings Stealing the Sky" to switch the fates of the two when the bookseller was about to die.
Zhu Wuyao is not a person of this world, so Heaven cannot find her and cannot control her fate.
Therefore, at the moment their destinies were exchanged, the bookseller and she both returned to a state of chaos.
In that instant, it was as if they had been placed into a black box together.
What happened inside the black box is beyond the knowledge of Heaven.
They only know that the "calamity" that was supposed to come has been successfully brought down, but they cannot tell who has been affected by it.
Zhu Wuyao's karmic connection with him is indistinguishable, and his own fate is unfathomable. Therefore, he is able to settle the karmic debts of today for the bookseller.
The calamity will not disappear.
It will only transfer.
However, if Zhu Wuyao is willing to take on the responsibility, the price he pays will be far less than that of others.
The Heavenly Way maintains the operation of all things, and the computational power required is not to be underestimated. However, with the millennium approaching, the cause and effect are extremely complicated, and the Heavenly Way is also moving forward with a heavy burden.
Any addition of individual variables will generate many variables, increasing the burden on computing power.
Therefore, in recent years, the power of self-correction has become exceptionally strong, to the point where everything is predestined and nothing is up to us.
In the past, in the city of Nanli—
The rescued little girl survived, which is equivalent to increasing the variable.
She is a mortal, so her causal weight is relatively light and her impact on the world is relatively small; while Ji Yuezhang is a cultivator, so his impact on the world is much greater.
Therefore, the sixteen years of computing power saved during her slumber, when there was "no causal relationship," was enough to offset the computing power required for the little girl to survive.
Essentially, it is a replacement.
The art of clairvoyance is a perfect match for Zhu Wuyao.
She even wondered if this was what the Star-Picking Tower was planning.
Only she can maximize the effectiveness of the Celestial Observation Technique.
As the millennium approaches, she, an outsider, is the only remaining divination practitioner who can relatively easily change people's fates.
No, it shouldn't be called changing fate, but rather deceiving destiny.
His identity as an "outsider" was probably never hidden from Sect Leader Fang from beginning to end...
What exactly is the hidden seal in the Celestial Observation Technique...?
Zhu Wuyao sat behind the table, making payments while pondering these matters.
The combination of her strategic moves, her ability to steal the sky and change the sun, and her status as an outsider, all worked to create such a miraculous effect.
She vaguely sensed the existence of the third seal, but couldn't quite grasp its specifics.
Even after everyone had left, Zhu Wuyao remained seated behind the table, deep in thought. Her brows were furrowed, and she heard Wu Heng's voice in her ear:
"Fellow Daoist, when shall we set off?"
“Your spiritual energy is blocked. I need to meet with my sister to discuss countermeasures so that I can give you an explanation as soon as possible.”
She had observed Zhu Wuji's actions and her attitude towards him had changed. Although she couldn't immediately confide in him or treat him as a close friend, she could at least treat him like a normal person.
Zhu Wuyao came to her senses and said:
"I'll pack up and leave now."
She immediately got up to find the theater owner. Passing Hou Feng, she paused, noticing his bruised and swollen face, and asked:
"what 's wrong?"
Wu Heng remained expressionless and said:
He fell on his own.
Hou Feng's mouth was gagged, but he was still trying to "mumble" and glare at the two of them, seemingly upset about something.
