Chapter 252 The Jade Abacus? No!
Back at Chaoxi Bookstore, Ye Xiaozhou seemed to be deep in thought about something.
Upon seeing that Zhu Wuyao had brought two people back, he immediately stepped forward.
She had seen the two of them once at the Immortal Cultivation Conference.
Knowing that he was a disciple of the Star-Picking Tower, he did not exchange many words with him, but instead tossed a copper coin.
Then he nodded thoughtfully.
Who are these two people?
Xu San'er, always perceptive, stepped forward, first introducing Hua Yingting, then himself, and then said:
"I've long heard of Senior Sister Ye's great reputation, and seeing her today, I can truly say she's extraordinary!"
"Oh? How is it so extraordinary?"
Ye Xiaozhou asked with a grin, but his eyes kept drifting toward Hua Yingting, who was playing with her hair with her fingers.
Xu San'er, seemingly cautious in the face of Ye Xiaozhou's attitude, quickly said:
"The cultivation world is so taciturn and filled with awe and fear that it is truly extraordinary!"
Zhu Wuyao looked at Ye Xiaozhou, who was observing, and was also extremely worried about Hua Yingting's condition.
After all, the divination technique she practiced was to predict dreams, and given the nature of all living beings, the two might produce some strange reaction.
"What divination did you just do?"
Ye Xiaozhou, stroking his chin, circled Hua Ying twice before suddenly asking:
"Is there really anyone here?"
Zhu Wuyao: ?!
What kind of ghost story is this?!
She glanced at Ye Xiaozhou, then looked at Hua Yingting with a hint of horror, hesitating as if she wanted to speak, before finally asking:
You're nearsighted too?
"What nearsightedness? Let's get down to business. Of course I can see her here, but I can't figure it out!"
That's because your divination skills are inadequate.
Even I couldn't figure it out, so maybe Huayingting will have some kind of extraordinary encounter?
Her method of fortune telling differed from Ye Xiaozhou's.
Ye Xiaozhou's divination is simple and quick, requiring no cooperation or consent from the person being divined, and he can make basic judgments about certain matters.
However, very little information was available.
If you wish to have your divination performed without being invited, you need someone to hand you an item, preferably something that is willingly given to you.
The reason why he doesn't need anyone's permission on ordinary days is entirely due to the spirit pen floating in his dantian.
Since the magic pen entered her dantian, she has never wavered in questioning the authenticity of the divination results whenever she casts a hexagram.
The only difference is the amount of information received.
For example, when she crossed over to tell Ye Xiaozhou's fortune, even though Ye Xiaozhou cooperated and had the help of the magic pen, she could only get the sentence "The exile returns to his fate".
When she told the fortune of Jiguanshan, her cultivation level was not high, and Jiguanshan was not human, so it did not have a complete divine consciousness.
Therefore, very little information was obtained.
But to this day, every divination has yielded a result.
Zhu Wuyao reached out her hand, making a demanding gesture, and gently coaxed:
Give me something from your person.
Hua Yingting heard the person in front of her speaking to her. She gently raised her eyes to look at him, but there seemed to be no confusion in her eyes, only emptiness.
Seeing this, Zhu Wuyao repeated himself.
However, Huaying Film Studio still hasn't taken any action.
Are we waiting for Huaying to take something before taking the opportunity to do the fortune telling?
Just as she was about to try another method, Hua Yingting suddenly raised her hand—
She placed her fingers in Zhu Wuyao's palm.
It must have been that Zhu Wuyao had led Hua Yingting back by holding her sleeve along the way, so she instinctively made this move.
Can this be calculated?
Zhu Wuyao was slightly taken aback, but still activated the Heavenly Observation Technique.
Hua Yingting seemed completely unprepared, allowing Zhu Wuyao's spiritual power to circulate through her body for a week.
Got nothing.
Is it really impossible to calculate?
Zhu Wuyao stood in front of Hua Yingting and saw that her usually neatly combed hair was now slightly disheveled from being twisted by her fingers.
She raised her hand and removed the gold and silver hairpins from Hua Ying's temples to prevent her from being accidentally injured by these sharp objects.
Hua Yingting's jewelry often contained hidden secrets, including concealed arrows and poisons; there were many intricacies involved.
Zhu Wuyao did not cultivate alchemy; she only wore a silver bracelet on her wrist, which she obtained by killing Fang Yong, a retainer of the Pei family, and picking up a bag.
She hadn't figured out its secret at the time, and even the people in the mine thought it was just an ordinary silver bracelet, so she kept it.
Hua Yingting's long hair fell loosely down.
It hangs down to the shoulders, black and smooth.
Standing quietly in the Chaoxi Bookstore, it no longer possessed its former liveliness, like a beautifully carved wooden puppet.
Seeing Huaying stop like this, Zhu Wuyao was extremely worried.
With the combined strength of the three of them, they could protect Hua Yingting's safety.
What worries her is that this abnormal state may stem from some unknown variables, and in the long run, it may harm her spirit.
"Ye Xiaozhou, what can you see?"
Ye Xiaozhou may seem unconventional, but he is usually quite reliable when it comes to serious matters—except for the matter of escaping to the demon race.
She touched her chin, thought for a moment, and said:
"Although I am not like Shen Anzhi, who can directly see the cause and effect of the person in front of me, I have studied divination for many years. Although my level has regressed, I can still sense some things."
"for example--"
She pointed at Hua Yingting and continued:
"Although this person is standing here, something is missing in his perception; he feels like an empty shell."
"And unlike typical amnesia or out-of-body experiences, she seems to be... um..."
"She seems to be asleep?"
Zhu Wuyao's eyes lit up. Connecting this to the divination techniques Hua Yingting practiced, this description was indeed apt.
The group sat down in the Chaoxi Bookstore.
Xu San'er explained the whole story again, and after Ye Xiaozhou understood, Zhu Wuyao said:
"Actually, we can use Huayingting's method of foresight and reverse deduction to break the deadlock."
"In the dream, Hua Yingting's cultivation technique was perfected, and Xu San'er's black jade abacus was transformed into other objects."
"In other words, as long as these two conditions are met, we may not be far from breaking the deadlock. By the way, Xu San'er, where is your black jade abacus?"
Xu San'er was new to the place and hadn't yet figured out the ways of the world, so he sat to the side listening to the two's discussion.
Upon hearing Zhu Wuyao inquire about the ink jade abacus, Xu San'er immediately patted his storage bag and said:
"I always carry it with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a die from his storage bag.
A die?!
Xu San'er stared blankly at the black jade dice in his hand, looking utterly bewildered.
"impossible!"
He had carefully examined the black jade abacus before coming in, but it turned into dice as soon as it landed!
He looked at Hua Yingting with slight hesitation, then asked somewhat tentatively:
"Sister Hua, could it be that you have mastered your cultivation technique?"
Ye Xiaozhou was also quite amazed. It was truly his master's skill that the divination came true so easily. Since that was the case, he figured that if Hua Yingting came, she could probably really get them out of there.
I think I'm out of danger?
Zhu Wuyao, on the other hand, was extremely solemn. Her first thought was—could it be that she had lost her memory and had reincarnated many times before, but had simply forgotten?
