“Then I’ll try, but I have limited learning, so I may not do it accurately.”
She put the coins in her palms, folded her hands together and recited prayers silently. With a sharp turn in her heart, she scattered three golden coins on the table in a row. After so many times, a hexagram was obtained.
“How is it?” Qiu Yueming asked urgently.
Yuan Xiang deduced for a moment, “From the perspective of the hexagram, danger is ahead, vigor is not limited, righteousness is not poor and the great river is benefited and you will be successful. This means that although the future is somewhat difficult and dangerous, because you have a strong personality and stick to the right path, there will be good results.”
Qiu Yueming let out a long breath, finally showing a smile on his face.
Zhou Deyun hurriedly said, “Could the girl also do that for me?”
His companion said humorously, “The person is also asking outsiders about the same thing. Now that this person has got a good divintion, naturally they can get what they want.”
Yu Yao, Yuan Xiang’s Shifu, was very good at the art of occupancy. She had always yearned for this Dao, but it was a pity that she had not been very good at it. After the first try, she felt that her hand was smoother than before, so she started the second hexagram.
“How is it? I think the lady will be very happy to see me pick her up,” Zhou Deyun rubbed his hands and said excitedly.
Outside the window, there was a sound of wind. Yuan Xiang looked at the hexagram for a long time, then raised her head to look at him. Her expression was a little weird. She hesitated and said, “The sky is stormy, the world is windy, the woman is strong, and the softness meets the strength. The woman…”
Seeing that Zhou Deyun’s face had collapsed, she swallowed the rest of the sentence which was “she can’t be with you”.
Zhou Deyun, from Yuan Xiang’s perspective, was a typical scumbag common to wealthy people in this era. He loved leisure and disliked work, had no responsibility, was machismo and did not respect women.
But after walking together for so long, they were already very familiar with each other. Zhou Deyun was still very good at interacting as a friend. He was gentle, generous and had hobbies.
Yuan Xiang couldn’t bear to look at his wilting appearance and didn’t want him to be so full of hope. He couldn’t get a good result from the end of the journey, so she could not help but comfort him, “I have learned the art of divination very badly. Out of nine hexagrams, eight were inaccurate. What’s more, there was a change in this hexagram, which means that things are still infinitely possibilities. Don’t worry about it in advance.”
Wu Yuan, who turned into a human form and sat at the table to eat, raised his head and asked, “What are the infinite possibilities?”
Hu Sanlang interjected, “This was one of the hexagrams of human gossip. Weiji’s hexagram says that the little fox was about to cross the river, but his tail was wet, there was confusion and things were unfinished, but there were Infinite possibilities.”
Yuan Xiang was very surprised, “You actually understand this?”
“Well, I was with Sister A Qing before. She liked to deduce fortune-telling and I have listened a lot. But Sister A Qing always said that although she was good at it, she will never be able to account for the things she cares about most.”
Yuan Xiang bowed her head and collected the three coins. She didn’t see this hexagram thoroughly. She couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. If her Shifu was there, he would definitely know the direction of things clearly, not as vague as she did.
It turned out that the farther she went on the road, the more she realized that didn’t learn enough.
Wu Yuan stretched an arm around Zhou Deyun’s shoulders, comforting the human who offered him food all the way, “Don’t worry, we are all on your side. No matter who stops us, we could get your lady and snatch her back.”
“Don’t be discouraged. We haven’t gotten there yet, so nothing for sure.” Sanlang turned into a young girl, “Why don’t I sing for you?”
She/He went downstairs to ask Hu Ji to borrow a Huqin, played a tune, cleared her/his throat and sang a popular ballad.
” …Cold fires now of old battles are gray on ancient forts,
And the wilderness is shadowed with white new-flying snow.
… When the player first brushes the Shang string and the Jue and then the Yu, Autumn-leaves in all four quarters are shaken with a murmur.
Dong, the master,
Must have been taught in heaven.
Demons come from the deep pine-wood and stealthily listen…”
(Poet Li Qi: on hearing Dong play the flageolet to palace-attendant Fang.)
She/He lowered her/his eyebrows and smiled, plucking the strings at her/his fingertips. Her/His skills may not be so perfect, but she/he had an innocent, romantic and casual meaning.
There was a string of silver bells tied to her/his slender ankles, playing, singing, and dancing. The face that blurs the boundaries of gender, the charm of the mountains, the voice was scattered there in the wind and sand.
At the end of the song, the skirt had been twisted to Yuan Xiang’s feet. The beautiful young girl put her hands on Yuan Xiang’s knees, looked at Yuan Xiang and asked, “Axiang, did I dance well?”
“Good! Folk arts are unique and rare in the world,” Yuan Xiang did not hesitate to praise her/him.
“Then Axiang, let’s have a drink too.”
She/He filled two glasses and was about to pass it forward with a smile, but the girl/boy suddenly felt her/his scalp go numb and a cold chill came up from her/his spine, as if thrown into the Wannian Ice Cave. She/He didn’t even need to look back to know that a pair of cold eyes fell on him behind him, carrying the terror pressure that was unique to a big demon.
