角色故事•三（解锁条件：角色等级60）
在玉阙太卜司中，她度过了自己一生中最快乐的求学岁月。关于宿命与自由意志，关于阵法演算与人择权衡…在一切与卜筮之道相关的问题上，少女记得自己与师傅总是争辩不休。这并非唇枪舌剑的相争，而是亦师亦友的较劲。尽管在大部分的问题上，少女与师傅最终达成了一致的看法，但两人却有一处无论如何绕不开去的死结——
自向博识尊处求取演算经籍以来，玉阙仙舟太卜司倾数百年全力加以解读实现，营建了联盟中夸称第一的占卜阵法。玉阙的卜者们皆以此为傲。但在符玄看来，这不过是将仙舟人的未来锁死在了阵法划定的道路上。
当人们相信阵法所示必然成真；选择便成了徒有其名的摆设。冥冥之中，卜者成了阵法的囚徒，吉时出行、凶时居停、每日所宜所忌、做什么不做什么，一应遵照占卜所示。
“难不成阵法告诉我明日死期将至，我就得自行了断不成？如此一来，卜与不卜，到底有什么分别？”
“分别在于，我们知道自己行走在昭昭天命之上。这便是开启太卜司制度的玄曜祖师所追求的至上道路。”
“在阵法协助下，卜者们只需要虔信相信，顺应启示，做出一个又一个抉择——即便它们匪夷所思、无比艰难。这一切终将让仙舟抵达它孜孜以求的伟业——铲除寿瘟祸祖，另世间无复寿瘟之苦。”男人的神色如同蒙受开示的觉悟者，坦然平静。他看向符玄，“就像我在得知你的命数后，将你收为弟子。”
不是为了我的天资？也不是为了家族人脉？只是为了实现某个预言？这…这太荒谬了！恼怒涌上符玄心头，令她一时间讷讷无言。
“你知道吗，在问卜‘十方光映法界’，解读卦象后，我确信我的命运将断绝在你的手中。但我依然将你收为弟子，等候你取代我，成为玉阙仙舟的太卜。因为，这一切都是命中注定。”
命中注定？他的命运，将会断绝在我手里？
说得眼下仙舟好像仍在三劫时代，说得好像她是个渴望登上太卜之位，打算不择手段弑师的逆徒。这个混蛋师傅！
“而我…我绝不会让它成真！”
少女尊敬师傅身为卜者的一切：心智、技艺乃至为人。唯独无法接受他身为窥探命运的卜者，却自甘堕入宿命论的渊薮，并将此视为理所当然。
Character Story: Part III
• Unlocked at Character Level 60
She spent the happiest time in her life studying in the Yuque's Divination Commission. She learned about predestination versus free-will, about matrix calculations versus human choices... The girl recalled she was always arguing with her teacher on every issue regarding divination and fortune-telling. Those were not aggressive confrontations with sharp words, but heated discussions between peers. And yet, though the two agreed on many topics, there was one issue they could not come to a consensus —
Nous had granted divine volumes outlining the matrix calculations to the Xianzhou centuries ago. The Xianzhou Yuque's Divination Commission had pored over them to interpret and manifest the wisdom within, ultimately constructing the best divination matrix in the entire Alliance. Thought this is a point of pride for Yuque's diviners, Fu Xuan felt it was nothing short of culling the future possibilities of the Xianzhou people within the narrow path set out by the matrix.
When people believe that the predictions of the matrix will always come to pass, then "choice" became an empty concept only for show. The diviners have unwillingly become prisoners of the matrix. They head to work when the hour is fortuitous, and stay home with the hour is ominous. What they do, what they avoid doing — everything was in accordance with the divination results.
"If the matrix tells me that I will die tomorrow, does that mean I should just hurry up and end myself? At that point, what is the difference between performing a divination and not performing one?"
"The difference is that we know we walk on the ordained path set by the heavens. That is the supreme path sought by Grandmaster Xuan Yao, who initiated the Divination Commission system."
"All the diviner has to do is to faithfully believe and obediently follow the guidance of the matrix, and make one choice after another in that way — even though those choices may be ludicrous, incomprehensible, or difficult. All such efforts will ultimately lead the Xianzhou to the great work that it has been seeking throughout its existence — that of eradicating the Plagues Author and rid the world of the agony of Abundance." The man's expression was as placid and calm as an enlightened disciple who had received divine revelation. He looked at Fu Xuan and continued, "just like how I chose to take you in as my student after knowing about your predetermined future."
It wasn't for my talents? And it wasn't for my well-connected family? It was just to fulfill some prediction? This... this was absurd! Rage took over Fu Xuan, and she was at a loss for words.
"Did I ever tell you that after I consulted the Deca-Light Reflection Barrier and interpreted the hexagram, I now firmly believe that my life will end in your hands? However, I still took you in as my student. I'm waiting for you to take over my position and become the Xianzhou Yuque's master diviner, because it has all been predetermined."
Predetermined? His life will end in my hands?
He was talking as if the Xianzhou was still in the Three Sufferings Era! As if she was a treacherous disciple who craved the seat of the master diviner so much, that she would even kill her teacher for it! Her teacher was a scoundrel!
"And I... I will never let that prediction come to pass!"
The girl admired everything about her master as a diviner — his intelligence, skills, and integrity. However, she could not accept how he willingly sank into the blinding abyss of fatalism and regarded it as an acceptable way of life, despite being a diviner who could peek into destiny.
Therefore, Fu Xuan ran away from the Xianzhou Yuque despite her family's dissuasion and the hurdles she had to cross. She ran away like a self-exiled escapee, plunging into the Luofu's Divination Commission with its more unrestricted culture and devoted herself to calculations. Not only did she want to part from the Xianzhou Yuque, she also wanted to prove with her own hands that her teacher's prediction was nothing but his own ludicrous delusions.
