Zhang Tian and a few others sat in the room, waiting for Zhang Qilin to return.
Zhang Tian, meanwhile, slowly took out a compass.
"Boss, are you going to divine? Hurry, first tell me about Fatty's future fortune."
"Can I have a few big fat boys?"
Seeing Zhang Tian take out the compass, Fatty squeezed over with a grin.
"Da Pang, you're a man, you definitely won't have kids, but you'll have to rely on someone else, and you might not even be able to have them."
Zhang Tian chuckled at Fatty, even winking.
"Uh... Boss, you're wicked! Fatty thinks it's better not to talk about such things."
Fatty quickly waved his hand, as if he had lost all interest.
Hu Bayi, on the other hand, watched intently.
"Tian Gong Luo Pan, Tian Gong, also known as Tian Gong Tu, is a diagram of a person's destiny."
"Boss, I think this compass should be very accurate in predicting destiny."
Hu Bayi said thoughtfully, having dabbled a bit in such matters.
"That's right. In divination, Tian Gong represents destiny. I will now use Yin and Yang to replace the five elements, and the celestial mansions to replace the stars, to evolve destiny and thus deduce the celestial omens."
Zhang Tian murmured, his gaze falling on Hu Bayi.
"If that's the case, I'll test it to see if we will encounter danger in this Xisha underwater tomb this time."
Zhang Tian mumbled, activating the spell for Qimen Dunjia.
Seated on the ground, Zhang Tian chanted under his breath.
The compass before him levitated without wind, spinning continuously in front of him.
It emitted a metallic friction sound.
Ka ka...
The crisp turning sound was like the gears of a clock ticking.
Soon, the first character appeared.
"Gui!"
As everyone knows, among the sixteen-character feng shui secret techniques, there are records of Tian, Di, Ren, Gui, Shen, Fo... etc.
And now, with Gui appearing in the compass, it's likely referring to the Jin Po without a doubt.
Immediately after, the compass continued to spin, and the second character landed on the Vermillion Bird compass in the south.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Tian shuddered.
His expression changed.
The compass continued to spin, finally stopping in the south Vermillion Bird formation, pointing towards Gui Jin Yang in the Vermillion Bird formation of the twenty-eight constellations.
Gui Jin Yang, belonging to Metal, is a Sheep. It is the second mansion of the South.
People usually call things that don't exist and are feared "Gui" (ghost), and the Gui mansion was thus named.
This means it's an ominous sign!
"Hiss..."
Zhang Tian inhaled sharply, a bad premonition gripping him. He continued the divination.
Since he had started, he couldn't stop.
Next, the pointer pointed to Xin Yue Hu.
Following that, the pointer would not change anymore.
No matter how Zhang Tian chanted the incantations, he couldn't divine what would happen next.
"It seems my skills are insufficient."
Zhang Tian murmured and stopped the divination.
Divination itself goes against the natural order. Forcing it will only deplete one's yang energy.
Moreover, even with what you divine, you can only speak half of it. To say more is to leak heavenly secrets.
You will die a terrible death.
Zhang Tian looked at where the pointer finally settled.
Xin Yue Hu.
This could be considered a good omen, much better than Gui Jin Yang.
Xin Yue Hu is part of the Azure Dragon constellation, related to marriage, destiny, kinship, and love.
Worshipping her can bring love, marriage, and kinship.
"The first thing I divined was Gui, the second was ominous, and the third is somewhat auspicious."
"This means that our trip to the Xisha underwater tomb this time will be a case of turning misfortune into fortune."
Zhang Tian thought to himself, feeling a bit puzzled.
Why did Xin Yue Hu appear?
The appearance of Gui Jin Yang was understandable, but Xin Yue Hu, which is about marriage and kinship.
Could this be reliable?
"Alas, if only my cultivation technique were better, I could even bypass the twenty-eight constellations and divine the heavens, earth, profound, and yellow, and the rules of heavenly secrets."
Zhang Tian sighed softly, somewhat disappointed with his first attempt, as he hadn't divined the complete picture.
However, Zhang Tian did not know that it was impossible to divine the complete picture through divination.
After all, circumstances change, and things don't always follow the divined omens.
"How did it go?"
Hu Bayi had been watching. He was not skilled in divination.
Hu Bayi's expertise was primarily in feng shui secret techniques, but seeing Zhang Tian sweating profusely, he couldn't help but worry.
"Well, it's a good omen, I suppose. As long as we overcome the danger, we will turn misfortune into fortune."
Zhang Tian said after some thought.
"Boss, what danger? Fatty will prepare himself first."
Fatty was excited. Having a prophet was awesome.
Foreseeing future events felt more satisfying than using cheats.
Zhang Tian shook his head.
"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."
It wasn't that Zhang Tian didn't want to say, but he could feel that if he spoke, his lifespan would be greatly reduced. Leaking heavenly secrets was a major taboo.
"Tch, speaking only half the story, making Fatty happy for nothing."
Fatty grumbled, and soon lost interest.
He glanced at the time; it was past three in the morning.
"Boss, Second Brother has been gone for so long, won't anything happen to him?"
Hu Bayi was a little worried about Zhang Qilin.
Although they had only recently met Zhang Qilin, Hu Bayi could sense that he was a person who was easy to get along with.
Besides, he was Zhang Tian's brother, so he was naturally their brother too.
"Yeah, what if Second Brother gets lost? I heard there are many black bears on Qingming Mountain. Shouldn't we go look for him?"
Fatty chimed in quickly.
These two were loyal and righteous, which was why Zhang Tian had chosen Fatty and Hu Bayi.
If he had gone with Wu Sansheng, Zhang Tian felt he would have been tricked to death sooner or later.
"Don't worry, his strength is greater than ours, and he's seen all this before."
Zhang Tian understood Zhang Qilin; if he could have problems, then the world would be in chaos.
Seeing that even Zhang Tian wasn't anxious, Hu Bayi didn't get too worried either.
"If Gui refers to Jin Po, then what does Gui Jin Yang refer to, and what about that Xin Yue Hu?"
Zhang Tian was still fixated on the omens he had divined.
He couldn't understand these three omens.
Time passed quickly.
In the early morning, Fatty crawled up from the table.
"Hoo, has Second Brother returned?"
Fatty stretched lazily.
He rubbed his eyes and looked around.
In the corner, Zhang Qilin was already standing there, while Zhang Tian and Hu Bayi were poring over a sheepskin scroll.
"Damn, my grandpa said to share fortunes, you guys found something good and didn't call Fatty!"
"This is simply unethical and requires me to face the wall under my grandpa's photo album!"
Wang Fatty saw this and jumped up, rushing over.
"Fatty, you won't understand this. Take Second Brother to buy some breakfast."
Hu Bayi said, his eyes not leaving the scroll.
Fatty was speechless.
"Old Hu, you can't say that, Fatty is very smart!"
Fatty said, glancing over.
"Among the heavens' three wonders are the sun, moon, and stars; they shock ghosts and gods, piercing heaven and earth."
"All gods bow their heads in reverence, and malevolent spirits flee without stopping when they encounter them."
Fatty recited, and his head began to ache.
"Forget it, Fatty will go buy breakfast."
"Let's go, Second Brother, let's get breakfast."
Fatty took a look and grumbled as he led Xiao Ge away.
Is this something for humans to read?
After Fatty left, Zhang Tian and the other two became even more engrossed.
"This records the entire history of the Ban Shan Taoists. Their Ban Shan Taoist techniques are similar to those of Mao Shan, but many things are different."
"Old Hu, there are also two Taoist technique books here. Let's study them together, and maybe we can use the Taoist techniques to upgrade your Fen Jin Ding Xue."
Zhang Tian said, handing over a book.
The Taoist techniques of the Ban Shan Taoists were recorded in books, which greatly facilitated reading.
Meanwhile, on the street, Fatty was walking with Zhang Qilin.
"Second Brother, why do you think Fatty can't learn it? Is it because my talent is too high, so I disdain to learn it?"
Fatty muttered.
He looked at Zhang Qilin.
"Alas, really, Second Brother, you're not saying anything. Fatty is convinced. Look, there's still bloodstain on your hand. Come, Fatty will wipe it for you."
Fatty said, but Zhang Qilin waved his hand and wiped it off himself.
Fatty was stunned.
Wang Kaixuan: "Why do I feel like this guy is looking down on me?"
