Chapter 101 Destiny

"The so-called people beyond destiny are those who are not controlled by fate. And a group of people closely related to you will naturally be affected as well."

Lin Xing pondered for a long time: "Is this what you mean by the mutual influence of fate?"

Zhou Yixian nodded with a smile: "Well, more or less."

"Fate, influencing each other." Lin Xing thought of all the differences from the original work since he entered the world of Zhu Xian. Were all these his influence?

Then what exactly is fate?

As if guessing what Lin Xing was thinking, Zhou Yixian slowly said, "Fate is the law of the operation of life. A tree has its own growth law; a bird has its own growth law; the undulation of flowing water will change according to the trend of the riverbank; the growth of crops is also affected by the alternation of the four seasons... Every kind of thing has its own growth law. And the law of life is what we call fate."

"Fortune-telling by reading faces, divination by analyzing characters, etc., are all just a small part of understanding a person, just like looking at a leopard through a tube. That's why, although fate can be predicted to some extent, it cannot be fully mastered."

Lin Xing suddenly remembered something and woke up with a start: "Fortune-telling by reading faces is more accurate than divination by analyzing characters!"

"Er." Zhou Yixian was disrupted by his jumping thinking and was a bit confused about the current situation, "Although that's true, but you—"

Zhou Yixian was greatly shocked: "How do you know!?"

Lin Xing curled his lips and said: "It's not that difficult. Since the so-called fate is a law, then when exploring the law, the more information the better!"

"Divination by analyzing characters can only reveal a little about one's mood and habits, and it also needs to be combined with many other factors. We know too little about the 'person' itself!" "Just like the annual rings of a tree, we can tell its past growth pattern through them; the branches and leaves of a tree can show its current situation and many other conditions. But if you only look at its shadow, you know too little!"

Zhou Yixian stroked his beard, looked at Lin Xing in surprise with his eyes shining, and continued to ask: "What else do you think?"

"Hmm, let me think." Lin Xing propped his chin and said slowly: "It's much easier to explore the past than to predict the future!"

Zhou Yixian took a big mouthful of food and nodded: "Go on! Go on!"

"Well, I'll use the tree as an example again. It's like—" Lin Xing let out a sigh and looked at Zhou Yixian, "Old man, are you mistaken? I'm the one asking you questions. Why are you asking me instead?"

"Ahem, I'm just testing you, testing you!" After saying that, he broke into a cold sweat and thought to himself, this comprehension ability is incredibly strong!

Zhou Yixian looked at Lin Xing, thought for a while, and asked carefully again: "Then do you think I can calculate the fate of the 'people beyond destiny'?"

Lin Xing really wanted to jump up and kill him! Damn it, if I knew, why would I ask?

And they are the people beyond destiny. Just the name sounds really powerful!

People beyond destiny!

A flash of inspiration came to Lin Xing!

A person beyond destiny is just like an immigrant!

Suddenly, it seemed that he understood something. The Shenglong Sword Technique in Lin Xing's mind seemed to come alive in an instant. Between the moves, the seemingly ordinary parts could now be seen with some clues!

The strange sword technique of the mysterious old man was powerful, but he had always been unable to understand it. Now, he could actually see some hints!

Lin Xing came back to his senses, thought for a while, and said: "You should be able to calculate some, but not much."

"W-why!" The old man Zhou Yixian's voice trembled a little.

"Damn it! Isn't that obvious? Since I'm here, I must have countless connections with the people here! It's like a bunch of intertwined threads. Unless you cut off all the other threads! Otherwise, how can you break away?"

A hint of red appeared on Zhou Yixian's old face, and he even forgot to eat: "Then do you still think you need me to do the divination?"

"Yes! Of course!" Lin Xing didn't want to let this old man get a piece of gold for nothing, "According to my understanding, fortune-telling and such are nothing more than a process from the outside to the inside. The external is the manifestation of the internal. The so-called seeing the small and knowing the great, or speculating about the future through history, er, actually, the meaning should be similar. It doesn't seem anything special."

Zhou Yixian murmured in his heart: Nothing special? He actually said it's nothing special!!?

Lin Xing continued: "However, there must be a series of complex laws in it. Professional people exist for this purpose!"

After saying that, he looked at Old Man Zhou firmly.

You won't get the gold for nothing!!!

Zhou Yixian moved his lips, and his emotions were a bit excited: "Then, what do you think—"

"Old man! Don't push your luck!! I don't have the time to chat nonsense with you!" Lin Xing almost wanted to slap the table and leave.

"Just one last question! Just one last question!!!!"

Zhou Yixian pleaded bitterly, with a mournful face, as if it was Lin Xing who asked him for fortune-telling.

"Er, okay, go ahead." Lin Xing despised him so much. With such strong strength, who was he pretending for? Standing right in front of him, he couldn't feel the slightest bit of his aura. It was so damn strong!

Zhou Yixian put down his chopsticks, looked at Lin Xing and said: "Do you, don't you think that someone can— Sigh, no, it should be—"

"Old man, what are you mumbling about? I can see that I'm extremely talented and have scared you, right? It's okay. Test me as much as you want. Come on!"

Even if he answered wrongly, would the old man still refuse to do the divination for him? Ridiculous! Lin Xing had no burden in his heart at all.

Zhou Yixian deliberated for a long time, and finally asked another question: "Do you think it's possible to break away from the established fate?"

A glimmer of light that was not easy to notice flashed in his old eyes.

"Established fate?" Lin Xing exclaimed in surprise, "There is such a thing as established fate?"

"Yes!" Zhou Yixian answered affirmatively.

"Really?"

"Really!"

"You're not lying to me?"

Zhou Yixian forcefully picked up his chopsticks, viciously picked up a piece of meat, and his face twitched continuously.

"Why would I lie to you for no reason? This is! This is something I saw with my own eyes!!"

He spoke with great certainty, chewed the piece of meat in his mouth vigorously, but his eyes were wandering.

"Old man, you're lying!"

Zhou Yixian was really annoyed by him and roared: "Whether I'm lying or not is none of your business! Just answer the question!!"

His old face was red.

Lin Xing swallowed. Was this old man losing his composure too much?

He couldn't push the old man too hard. If they really started fighting, he wasn't sure of winning.

"Ahem"

Lin Xing coughed a few times and said: "Well, I've really never heard of established fate. If there really is such a thing, well, I don't know if it can be changed either."

After saying that, he glanced at Old Man Zhou.

A look of disappointment appeared on Old Man Zhou's face.

Damn it! Looking down on me!

Lin Xing suddenly slapped the table and said angrily: "Damn it, is this question even interesting? Why care so much? If someone arranges some stupid fate for me, whether it's established or not, I'll just go and, just go and—"

Lin Xing thought for a while and suddenly thought of the most vicious word: "I'll go and castrate him first!!!!"

After saying that, he inserted his chopsticks into the thick piece of meat, as if treating it as that "someone".
