Chapter 1244 Yi

"Please help me sir!!!"

"Please help me sir!!!"

……

Wang Ming was extremely curious as he looked at the old man who kept kowtowing to him and asking for help. He sat by the river and fished, but he used magic to cover it up.

Even if the Golden Immortal wanted to see him, they had to be close to each other.

As a result, it was seen by others inexplicably.

Listening to the old man shouting for help.

Wang Ming raised his head and glanced around the area.

Then Wang Ming discovered that behind the old man, on a road about six or seven hundred meters away, a group of the most elite soldiers of this era were rushing towards him.

Faced with this situation, Wang Ming naturally deduced what the old man wanted.

He increased the mana output of [Sky Eye] again and carefully looked at the details of the group of people who came on horseback.

See if he is a powerful emperor who can transform his fighting spirit into a horse.

After several scans, it was completely confirmed that he was just an ordinary person with a strong body.

"Who are you?"

Wang Ming stopped the old man from continuing to kowtow and asked him.

The old man was startled by the sudden appearance of a person, but he reacted quickly: "Please help me, sir! ! ! !"

Wang Ming immediately let go of the old man's hand, turned around and sat down on the river bank again, holding the fishing rod, and said to the old man with his back to him: "Tell me first, how did you know I was here?"

The moment he supported the old man, Wang Ming detected that there was no magic power in the old man's body. Physically speaking, he was just an ordinary old man.

And he's the kind of old man who won't live many more years.

but,

He is not an ordinary old man either.

He possessed an extremely strong force of luck in his body, and when Wang Ming's magic power tried to enter the old man's body, it was directly bounced back.

It almost backfired on Wang Ming, but luckily the power was so small that there was no problem.

He discovered that his magic power was blocked by luck, so he immediately replaced it with special energy.

Needless to say,

These traces were enough to let Wang Ming know that this old man was definitely a prince of this world.

Even if he was a prince, it wouldn't be enough to attract the attention of Wang Ming.

Wang Ming still only cared about the reason why he discovered his whereabouts.

"I cast a divination last night, and the divination showed that as long as I arrived here, I could find the noble person if I stopped three meters away from the river bank.

As long as we get the help of noble people, we will surely be able to turn danger into safety. "The old man replied respectfully.

"Fortune telling!"

Hearing the old man's words, Wang Ming's heart trembled and he almost jumped up in shock.

This is not because Wang Ming is easily startled or timid.

Instead,

It's a very serious matter.

If divination can find his whereabouts, it means that he may be found by others.

Wang Ming was suspicious and thought to himself, "When there is calamity energy, can't it conceal the secrets of heaven?

How is it possible that there is still something that can be predicted about me?"

You must know that Wang Ming, the time traveler, was locked by the Heaven's Way of the indigenous world, and the Heaven's Way was constantly transmitted to his subordinates who were deducing the Heaven's Way in the form of Heaven's secrets.

This situation is very troublesome.

What worries Wang Ming the most is that the saint or his disciples might calculate his whereabouts.

To know,
The realm span of this world is extremely huge.

Daluo Jinxian!

Above the Daluo Golden Immortal is the Quasi-Saint.

Above the quasi-saint is the saint.

Above the Saints is...

If the secret cannot be concealed, Wang Ming will be exposed to the world.

The gap in cultivation was too great, and any desire to resist was futile.

Subsequently,

As the old man looked puzzled, he saw with his own eyes Wang Ming's palm stretched into the void.

Then they performed a magic trick to transform a living person into a living person.

A man who looked like a young Taoist priest appeared at this place.

"Who are you? Aren't you afraid of offending me by capturing me..." The young Taoist priest found himself in an unfamiliar place and immediately started to question him.

Wang Ming was completely indifferent to the threat from the little Taoist priest. If he really couldn't hide himself in this world, he would have to leave.

"Little guy, you claim to be from the Immortal Sect, so you should figure out who I am right now."

Xiao Dao heard the cooking and started cursing, "If you want to kill me, just say so. Don't make things so confusing.

During this special period, the heavens were obscure and my master and ancestors were unable to make any divinations or predictions.

Now you let me be a little Taoist boy."

"Okay, go back! There's nothing for you to do here." Wang Ming nodded and returned the little Taoist boy back.

When the gap in cultivation between the two is too huge, the weaker one can't hide anything. Although he was asking the little Taoist boy just now, Wang Ming actually heard everything he was thinking.

When the old man saw this scene, he immediately knew that this person was indeed a master, and his attitude became more respectful and humble.

I don't dare to show any disrespect at all.

The old man was an ordinary man without any cultivation, but the luck in him helped him cover up all his thoughts.

"You heard what I said just now. Don't talk nonsense in front of me." Wang Ming said.

"Master! I really didn't lie. If you don't believe me, I can cover it up on the spot." As the old man spoke, he took out a tortoise shell and a few copper coins from his arms.

Wang Ming saw that this guy was serious, so he said: "Then calculate what will happen here in three quarters of an hour!"

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately poured the copper coins into the turtle shell, shook it a few times, and poured it out again.

The old man began to arrange and analyze the copper coins that fell on the flat ground.

"In three quarters of an hour, a group of people will come here, holding weapons and swords in their hands..."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Wang Ming knew that his divination was correct. He really saw someone riding a horse towards him from the other side of the mountain.

Judging from their expressions, they were obviously chasing this old man.

"What's your name?" Wang Ming said seriously.

The secrets of heaven are in chaos and none of the gods in heaven can calculate them. However, the old man in front of him can calculate something, and he is not wrong at all. How can Wang Ming not be surprised?
"The old Xibo Hou Jichang."

Wang Ming's eyes focused, and Ji Chang suddenly felt his body sink, as if he was pressed down by a huge object weighing thousands of pounds. It was very uncomfortable, but the feeling came and went quickly.

"If it's Ji Chang, then there's nothing strange about it." Wang Ming said to himself.

There was a magical book in the Zhou Dynasty called "The Book of Changes".

This book is a fortune-telling book.

The author of the book is Ji Chang himself.

According to legend, there is not just one copy of the Book of Changes, but three in total.

When people usually mention the "Book of Changes", they are actually referring to the "Zhouyi", which is the one written by King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang.

In addition to this "Book of Changes", there are also "Gui Zang Yi" and "Lian Shan Yi". Some people also call Fuxi's "Xiantian Bagua" "Xiantian Yi".

"Gui Zang Yi", "Lian Shan Yi" and "Xian Tian Yi" are extremely powerful in calculating the sky, the earth, and the immortals and gods.

The "Book of Changes" can basically not calculate anything about immortals and gods, but it can calculate things about humans very accurately.

When Ji Chang was fortune-telling, Wang Ming seemed calm and unconcerned, but in fact he saw everything with his third eye.

After watching the whole process, Wang Ming also understood why Ji Chang had calculated it.

Ji Chang's "Book of Changes" did not obtain data content through the way of heaven, so even when the secrets of heaven were in chaos, he could still clearly calculate what he wanted.

The Book of Changes predicts good and bad fortune through a person's fortune.

and,
Wang Ming happens to be a human being as well, so he is naturally within the range that Ji Chang can measure.

"Want me to help you? Sure!" Wang Ming showed a faint smile.

"Thank you, Master!" Ji Chang hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude.

Wang Ming interrupted Ji Chang and said, "You want me to help you? Let's make a bet! If you win, I will help you."

Ji Chang's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he felt bad, but he still said, "Excuse me, what is the bet, Immortal God?"

Wang Ming's smile became more malicious, and he said slowly: "Just figure out whether I will help you or not!"

When Ji Chang heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He knew very well that Wang Ming was playing a trick on him. Although he, Ji Chang, was called a wise king by the people, he was ultimately a political creature.

The understanding of human heart is very accurate.

If Ji Chang said that Wang Ming would help him, and Wang Ming simply did nothing, then Ji Chang would lose.

Ji Chang did the opposite and said that Wang Ming would not help him. Wang Ming could just take advantage of the situation and admit on the spot that he would not help him.

No matter how you look at it, he's doomed to fail.

For a moment, Ji Chang became anxious. He had just escaped from Chaoge City. If he was caught by Emperor Xin's troops behind him, he would surely die.

Wang Ming glanced at Ji Chang, lying on the wooden chair, thinking about whether to help Ji Chang.

In this calamity of conferring the gods, there are two main camps.

They are Xiqi and Shang respectively.

Xiqi: Chanjiao, Renjiao, Nuwa, Three Emperors, Heaven, Western Jiao,

Shang Dynasty: Jiejiao, demon tribe, and independent cultivators.

Just from this configuration, it is clear that side has a greater advantage. Standing on the side of the Shang Dynasty, it is doomed to sink.

On the mortal level, on the surface, the Shang Dynasty was fighting against Xiqi, but in fact it was fighting against all the princes in the world, and the Ji family of Xiqi was just a leader of the alliance.

On the level of immortals and gods, on the surface, Jiejiao is fighting against Xiqi, but in fact it is fighting against all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens, and Chenjiao is just the one that is jumping the most happily.

In this situation, it is self-evident which side you choose to win.

but……

It’s not easy to survive in Xiqi!

In Xiqi, the emphasis is on etiquette, which, to put it bluntly, is all about status, respect and inferiority. It is a place where one's birth is determined by one's circumstances, and without a strong background it is extremely difficult to make a name for oneself.

The Shang Dynasty was the orthodox at that time, but it was also the place where it was easiest for ordinary people to make a name for themselves.

When Emperor Xin ascended the throne, the Shang Dynasty was already in turmoil and threatened to collapse at any time. Fortunately, Emperor Xin carried out reforms and extended the life of the Shang Dynasty by a few decades.

Reform is actually the redistribution of the cake. Emperor Xin touched the cake of those old nobles and royal families who only ate and did not work.

It was redistributed to capable civilians.

It is not easy for ordinary people in Xiqi to make a name for themselves, and it is also not easy for immortals and gods to make a name for themselves.

In Xiqi, if the immortals and gods who defected to him did not have a profound background and were not blessed enough, they would definitely be killed.

The biggest enemy of the immortals and gods who defected to Xiqi was not the Shang Dynasty.

Instead,

Jiang Ziya, Randeng Taoist, Ju Liusun and the other six.

When the battle reached the final stage, they tried every possible means to break the formation of Jiejiao.

If you cannot break the formation, then sacrifice a life to weaken the formation and then break it.

First, they sacrificed the independent cultivators, and then they began to sacrifice those who were not favored in the Chan sect.

In the end, he was so cruel that he even took Princess Longji, the daughter of Emperor Haotian, as a sacrifice.

The risk of taking refuge in Xiqi is extremely high!

It is for this reason that
Wang Mingcai never chose to go to Xiqi to catch a ride, but chose to mess around here.

"The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop!"

Wang Ming shook his head, then said, "You want me to help you, what's in it for me?"

Ji Chang was stunned. In their era, this was the first time he saw someone asking for benefits so blatantly.

“Master, if you can help me escape from the pursuers and return to Xiqi safely, Xiqi will certainly appoint you as a distinguished guest.” Ji Chang immediately began to make promises.

Wang Ming waved his hand and said, "I don't need those. If I send you back to Xiqi, you can give me the mathematics manuscript you studied!"

Ji Chang was stunned. He didn't know why Wang Ming wanted that thing. He wondered, "Calculating the secrets of heaven, isn't this a basic ability of immortals? Why did he take a fancy to my Book of Changes?"

The Book of Changes is awesome, but that is relative to mortals.

The gods can directly connect with the way of heaven, and the results of their calculations exceed those of the "Book of Changes".

but,

Wang Ming is a time traveler. In the indigenous world, he usually becomes an extraterritorial demon along with many inner demons.

To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to an illegal resident without an ID card. The way of heaven is the government network agency. If an illegal resident takes the initiative to go to a government agency to check his files, isn't that courting death?

The Book of Changes happens to be something that avoids the laws of nature and calculates fate based on luck, so Wang Ming naturally wanted to obtain it.

"My lord, my Book of Changes is not yet complete. It is only a semi-finished product. If you want to obtain it, you need to wait." Ji Chang said respectfully.

Wang Ming didn't have much objection to this.

There are many versions of the I Ching that have been passed down through the generations, but...

They've basically been tampered with.

Whenever you see the word "gentleman" in the "Book of Changes", it is very likely to be Confucius' version.

What Wang Ming was interested in was not the content of the Book of Changes itself, but the manuscript of the Book of Changes.

After the "Book of Changes" is completed, for example, merit will be bestowed upon the manuscript by heaven.

At that time, the manuscript will no longer be a manuscript, but a magical treasure of merit.

"I can wait, but you swear that if you don't send me the manuscript of the Book of Changes, Xiqi will perish when it reaches your son's generation." Wang Ming said indifferently.

Ji Chang's forehead was covered with sweat. He heard the sound of hurried horse hooves coming from behind him. He knew that life and death were just a matter of thought.

He didn't know how precious the "Book of Changes" manuscript was, but he didn't want to swear, and judging from Wang Ming's attitude, it was definitely very important.

Ji Chang was afraid of death, but not too much.

The main thing is that he has to return to Xiqi.

He has a hundred sons.

The eldest son Bo Yikao went to Chaoge to save him and was chopped into meat sauce.

The second son, Ji Fa, was a restless person. Without the support of his eldest son Bo Yikao, he would surely rebel as soon as he succeeded to the throne.

Today, Xiqi is a powerful country, but it cannot defeat the Shang Dynasty.

In Ji Chang's plan, he needed to lie dormant, win over more allies, and wait for a legitimate excuse to rebel.

Finally, after taking a long breath, Ji Chang said, "Okay, but Master, you need to promise me one thing."
