Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, I closed my eyes and tried to guess how the fat man got hurt.
The fat man wasn't a gloomy person, and he didn't have the habit of hiding in a dark room during his divination. It was possible that the fat man had hurried to close the curtains before he got hurt.
Considering my previous speculation, the fat man had hurried to close the curtains because he didn't want the heavenly law to find out what he had done during his divination.
That was why he thought he could avoid the heavenly law's punishment by closing the curtains. But when he found out that he was still hurt, he tried his best to leave something behind.
If the fat man had left something behind, it would be near the window.
With this thought in mind, I paced back and forth in front of the window. I carefully checked the curtains, the window sill, and even the sofa near the window. However, I didn't find anything.
At this moment, Zhang Kanwen came back with a basin of water in his hand. Xie and Liu followed behind him.
When they saw me frowning, they didn't come to greet me. Instead, they surrounded the fat man and helped Zhang Kanwen wipe the bloodstains on the fat man's face.
With them taking care of the fat man, I felt more at ease. I stood by the window sill and continued to search.
There was a sofa by the wall next to the window sill. I walked around the sofa a few times but didn't find anything strange. However, I accidentally stepped on the sound transmitting talisman the fat man had left on the floor.
I bent down to pick up the talisman to see if there was anything on it.
After all, the fat man had taken the talisman at the last moment. It was possible that he had left a mark on it.
However, when I picked up the talisman and was about to get up, I saw something wrong with the sofa.
The sofa was placed against the wall.
Since the rooms on the second floor of the shop had the same layout, I remembered it clearly. However, from the angle I had picked up the talisman, I could see that the sofa had been moved a little bit.
The angle wasn't big, and it was almost impossible to see it from other angles.
The fat man wasn't a hardworking man. If there was nothing important, he wouldn't have touched the sofa. I could tell from the pile of dirty clothes on the sofa.
After I stood up, I noticed a pile of dirty clothes on the sofa. Some of them had fallen to the ground, which made me even more sure of my guess.
I've been to Fatty's room before and I've seen this pile of dirty clothes, but at that time, the clothes were still on the sofa and not on the floor.
So Fatty must have touched the sofa!
I put away the Sound Transmitting Talisman, walked over, and moved the sofa away.
As the sofa moved, a line of scarlet words appeared on the white wall under the windowsill. Under the illumination of the room's light, I saw it.
"Encountering the Yang brings danger, seeking the Yin brings protection."
These eight words were obviously written in blood, and the blood hadn't dried up yet. I could imagine that the fatty was in a critical situation and didn't have a second choice. He used his own blood to keep these words.
But what did these eight words mean?
What information did Fatty get from his divination?
Encountering the Yang brings danger, seeking the Yin brings protection … He repeated these words over and over again as countless thoughts appeared in his mind.
Fatty had said before that his divination had something to do with the Deity Chase between me and Lu Zhenyang.
So, these eight gathas could very well be referring to the Deity Chase.
Lu Zhenyang's name had the word "Yang" in it. So, "encountering the Yang brings danger" could very well mean that encountering Lu Zhenyang would mean encountering danger.
This was something that could be confirmed. Ever since I met Lu Zhenyang, every time I met him, I would end up encountering danger.
Even encountering him at the Heavenly Grand Ritual was no exception.
Although he didn't attack me openly, he left behind the Deity Chase as a prelude.
I had long understood that Lu Zhenyang and I wanted to devour each other's flesh and blood. The hatred between us was so deep that there was no possibility of reconciliation.
And for this Deity Chase, the reason why he invited me was because he had a use for me. But once he no longer needed me, he would still kill me if he had the chance.
So, even without the fatty's divination, I knew that this was something that was bound to happen.
The first four words were easy to understand, but I couldn't understand the last four words. I had no clue at all.
The meaning of the word "You" was the same as "Bless", meaning protection, protection.
So, the meaning of the four words was that as long as one could find "Yin", they would receive protection and protection.
This was not hard to understand, but what I couldn't understand was the word "Yin".
Yin was the antithesis of Yang. This was a very simple logic. Even people who didn't understand Fengshui would understand this point.
It was just that the word "Yin" itself had many meanings.
To put it simply, for example, Yin spirits. On my body, there were two Yin spirits, Tong Tong and the Snake Spirit.
The Snake Spirit was a spirit body, so it could be considered Yin. Tong Tong was also a ghost, and was of natural birth, so he could also be considered Yin.
Could it be that with the Snake Spirit and Tong Tong, I would receive protection?
If that was the case, then it was too simple.
And from the word "Search" in front, it was probably not that simple.
The Snake Spirit and Tong Tong were on my body, so I didn't need to search for them.
After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out. At this moment, Zhang Kanwen had cleaned up the fat man. He walked to me and said, "I've checked him. The fat man's mind was exhausted, and his spirit was damaged. That's why he lost consciousness with blood flowing from his seven orifices.
He just needs a good rest, and he will wake up in less than three days. However, I'm afraid he won't be able to use his spirit for a while. He can only slowly recover. "
After hearing that the fat man's body was fine, I felt a little better. I nodded to Zhang Kanwen to show that I understood. However, my mind was still on the eight words.
Zhang Kanwen felt a little strange as he saw me staring at the back of the sofa. He walked around the sofa and walked to the wall. Then, he saw the eight words.
The eight words were written in blood. When Zhang Kanwen saw them, he also felt strange. After a while, he asked me, "Did the fat man write this?
What does it mean? "
I shook my head. "It's true that the fat man wrote it. It seems to be related to me, but I don't know what it means."
"Encountering Yang brings danger, seeking Yin brings protection …"
While Zhang Kanwen was reading the words, he looked pensive and kept repeating them.
Who would have thought that as soon as he read them, a golden light suddenly appeared outside the window that was covered by the curtain. It directly went through the window and the curtain. It didn't make a sound, but it directly floated in, heading toward the blood words that Fatty Qiang had written on the wall.
As soon as the golden light and the blood words touched each other, a violent reaction occurred.
First, the blood words rolled on the white wall. Then, a golden flame appeared in the golden light, starting from the first word, burning fiercely.
There seemed to be a transparent white light circulating around the bloody words. At first, it was able to resist a few times, but after a while, the white light was extinguished. Then, the bloody words were burned by the golden flames and turned into nothingness.
The bloody words disappeared one by one until the last 'protect' word was burnt to ashes. The golden light suddenly turned into a golden longsword, carrying an unparalleled aura as it swept towards me.
In an instant, I felt a pressure, but also a familiar feeling.
In the dream when I broke through to the Glory of Knowledge realm, and in the Fire God Temple when Suan Ni was taken away, I had felt this aura more than once.
At that time, I wasn't clear about it, but now, I completely understood. This was the aura of the heavens!
The golden light arrived in the blink of an eye. The golden flame seemed to have ignited the air. As I breathed, every breath of air that entered my body brought with it a burning sensation, making it hard for me to breathe.
Under such pressure, even I, who was close to the late stage of the seal realm, found it hard to bear, let alone Zhang Kanwen.
At that moment, the Dao Energy Origin Stones in his body had all collapsed. His power was only at the Complete Acupoint Pressing realm. The difference between us was huge.
I turned to look at him. At that moment, Zhang Kanwen's face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were unfocused. If he stayed under the heavens' pressure for a few more minutes, he would probably collapse.
