For the entire night, the spirit serpent was in an extremely excited state. It kept talking and telling me about its growth experience. I didn't feel bored listening to it. In the end, I just ignored it and went to sleep. The spirit serpent then got rid of its excited state. It curled up on the dragon mark on my back and didn't say anything else.
However, I still couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about what had happened recently. However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't understand anything.
I couldn't sleep that night. The next morning, the fatty hurried to find me. He told me that his teacher, Immortal Guan, was going to perform an Innate Divination in the Taiyi Temple. All the disciples of the temple had to go there. Since he didn't have time to play with me, he asked Ye Pianpian and me to walk around by ourselves.
Cultivators could endure loneliness much better than ordinary people. It wouldn't be a problem for me to stay in this room for ten days or half a month. However, I was interested in the Innate Divination that the fatty was talking about. "What's going on?"
According to the Book of Changes, the Innate Divination was the Innate Eight Trigrams.
The Eight Trigrams were divided into the Innate Eight Trigrams and the Innate Eight Trigrams. According to the legends, the Innate Eight Trigrams were created by the Fuxi clan seven thousand years ago. They were also called the Fuxi Eight Trigrams. The Innate Eight Trigrams were created by King Wen when he was writing the Book of Changes.
However, the fatty told me that the Innate Divination that Immortal Guan was performing wasn't the Innate Eight Trigrams. It was a secret technique of the Divination Sect. Its main function was to invite the sect's inherited magical tool to come out.
I didn't understand it. Moreover, it was related to the fatty's sect's secret, so I didn't ask further.
However, the fatty didn't look good. He seemed hesitant. Eventually, he took the initiative to tell me that his teacher wanted to invite the inherited magical tool for Nangong. To be precise, he wanted to give the inherited magical tool to Nangong.
Now, I understood why the fatty didn't look good. According to him, Nangong had come to the Taiyi Temple halfway and had returned to the Divination Sect. To the people of the Divination Sect, Nangong couldn't be considered as a member of the sect. The inherited magical tool was the sect's most precious treasure. If it was given to a mysterious person, no one would be willing to accept it.
Not only the fatty, but I also felt that something was wrong.
After yesterday's events, I felt like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow. I had a feeling that Nangong had come back to ask for the fatty's sect's inherited magical tool. Perhaps it had something to do with me. Sometimes it was good, sometimes it was bad. I couldn't tell, but I had a strange feeling.
Then, I asked the fatty, "What is the inherited magical tool of the Zhan Shi School? How does it work?"
In the end, the fatty shook his head and said, "I can't say what it is exactly … You should know about the Push Back Diagram, right?"
I was startled when I heard the words' Push Back Chart '. This was the most marvelous book in the history of Chinese civilization. There was no one in the metaphysical world who didn't know about it. According to the legend, during the Tang Dynasty, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tian Gang had received the emperor's order to predict the future. They had been immersed in the book for a while, and they had been able to predict more than two thousand years of history. At the end, Yuan Tian Gang had woken up and gently pushed Li Chunfeng's back, interrupting his deduction. Li Chunfeng sighed with emotion.
That was how the name 'Push Back Chart' came about.
The 'Push Back Chart' had sixty diagrams, and correspondingly, sixty prophecies and poems. It predicted all the major events that had happened in China since the Tang Dynasty. It was enough to affect the history of the entire world. There were profound and abstruse parts that no one could understand. However, after these events had happened, the later generations would look at the 'Push Back Chart' again. They would be surprised to find that there were no mistakes in the predictions. Every diagram and every prophecy was true and accurate. They had accurately predicted important historical events.
Because of this, the 'Push Back Chart' was called the most marvelous book of prophecy.
Up until now, the 'Push Back Chart' had only fulfilled forty or so diagrams. There were still ten or so diagrams that could predict the future. Regardless of whether it was in the metaphysical world, countless people were doing their best to study it, trying to predict the true meaning hidden within.
Many people claimed that they had discovered a major event that was about to happen. However, there were many different opinions, and no one believed the others. Perhaps, they would have to wait until the event had happened before they could go back and predict the future.
Seeing that I was in a daze, the fatty continued, "You know that Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tian Gang were the ancestors of my school. My master said that the inherited magical tool of our school was the one that the two ancestors used to predict the 'Push Back Chart'."
I was startled. From what he said, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tian Gang had used this magical tool to predict the 'Push Back Chart'?
One could only imagine the power of this inherited magical tool!
What did Nangong want to do with it?
Why did Master Guan insist on giving such a precious magical tool to Nangong, an unknown person?
The most important thing was, did Nangong's actions have something to do with me?
Before I could figure it out, the fatty waved his hand at me, asking me to inform Ye Pianpian. Then, he hurriedly left.
After he left, I sat in the room and pondered for a long time with my brows furrowed. However, I couldn't find any clues. In the end, I gave up and went out to look for Ye Pianpian.
When I arrived at Ye Pianpian's room, I briefly told her what the fatty had told me. Ye Pianpian didn't react and only nodded. Then, she said, "If that's the case, we'll stay in the room today and cultivate. After the battle with the old Daoists of Mount Longhu, our strength has increased. If we meditate, we might be able to make a breakthrough."
I nodded and was about to turn around to leave. However, I hesitated and decided to tell her about what had happened last night.
Ever since she had taken care of me for a month, I trusted Ye Pianpian and Grandpa Li, whom I had yet to meet. If it weren't for them, even if I didn't die, I would have been a cripple.
I turned my head and told Ye Pianpian, "I saw Ye Pianpian last night."
Ye Pianpian's face, which was as calm as an ancient well, suddenly changed. She opened her eyes wide and no longer had the slightest trace of indifference. She hurriedly asked me, "Where?
Did she hurt you?
Can you still find her? "
Seeing her anxious expression, I hastily answered all her questions. "She's at the Tiangang Pavilion behind Taiyi Temple. Last night, Nangong asked me to meet him there. Unexpectedly, I saw Ye Pianpian with him. She didn't attack me and didn't say a word to me. I'm not sure if I can find her now. However, the fatty told me that his teacher wants to give the inherited magic tool of the sect to Nangong. I believe that Nangong hasn't left this place yet. If I go to him, I should be able to get some news about Ye Pianpian."
After hearing my answer, Ye Pianpian was silent for a while before she lifted her feet to walk outside. I knew that she was going to find Nangong, so I hastily pulled her back and said with a wry smile, "The Taiyi Temple is currently holding a Xiantian divination. All the disciples are there, so it's not appropriate for us to rush in. It's better to wait until the ceremony is over before we go there. Nangong definitely won't leave in a short period of time.
Don't worry. "After much persuasion, Ye Pianpian was finally convinced and sat down again. However, I was puzzled as she sat there with her brows tightly furrowed and didn't say a word.
From their appearances and names, she and Ye Pianpian were most likely twin sisters. However, from her usual behavior and current expression, they seemed to be irreconcilable enemies, especially Ye Pianpian. As soon as she heard Ye Pianpian's name, she looked like she couldn't wait to chase after her. I really couldn't understand this.
I weighed my tone and carefully asked her about her relationship with Ye Maolan, and why she hated her so much.
However, Ye Pianpian only shook her head and didn't say a word.
Helpless, I could only shut my mouth and ask no more.
I stayed in Ye Pianpian's room until the afternoon. Nine bell tolls came from the Taiyi Temple. It was obvious that the ceremony for the inheritance had ended. Ye Pianpian immediately left the guest room and rushed to the temple. I was afraid that something would happen, so I hurried to follow her.
When we arrived at the gate of the temple, two young Daoists guarding the gate raised their hands and tried to stop us. However, Ye Pianpian's strength wasn't something they could resist. She didn't even pause and directly rushed past the gate. I wanted to explain, but I was afraid that I would lose track of Ye Pianpian. I had no choice but to follow her.
