Quickly, the group of people finally arrived at Xiahou's house on the afternoon of the seventh day. The head of the family, Xia Hourong, had already received the news from the housekeeper Ling Ge through the book. He calculated the time and was waiting at the door early.
Xia Hourong was startled when he saw the visitor. He quickly bowed and saluted: "When you see the Great Elder, please come inside the Great Elder——"
No wonder the head of the Xiahou family was so surprised. The housekeeper didn't know who the visitor was, so he didn't mention it in the letter. However, when Xiahou Rong went to the Qi family, he met the elder of the Qi family. He was a god-transforming monk! They don't even have monks in the out-of-body stage in the outer continent, let alone monks who transform into gods.
"Xiao Rong, let's discuss things in the study." Qi Yifeng, the eldest elder of the Qi family, said to Xia Hou Rong, the head of the Xiahou family.
"..." Longxin covered his mouth tightly to prevent himself from laughing, "Xiao Rong," this is too cute!
Shen Tuqi naturally noticed the strange behavior of his Taoist companion, and deliberately walked in front to block a certain person who kept snickering.
The study room of the head of the Xiahou family was spacious and bright. Qi Yifeng sat behind the desk and said, "Xiao Rong, your aunt asked me to bring you a message. Everything is fine with her, and everything is going well with the Qi family, so don't worry."
"Yes, seeing that the great elder can come down this time, it means that everything in the Qi family is indeed fine. I would like to trouble my seniors to help send a message to my aunt. Everything in the Xiahou family is also fine. When the competition ends in ten years, I will take it with you Guan Yu and others go up." Xia Hourong said.
"Okay, our Qi family is waiting for you." The eldest elder Qi Yifeng said happily. This junior of the Xiahou family is still very bloody! Then he said:
"This time, the thirty major families in the inner continent will organize the top fifty middle families, a total of one hundred people, to go down to the realm together. And I am only going down to the realm as a fortune teller and cannot represent the Qi family. In other words, there are actually only twenty Nine big families sent representatives down.”
During this trip, I am only involved in the work of calculating the secret realm, and I cannot make the final decision on other matters. When all matters regarding the calculation of the secret realm are completed, I should return to the upper world. Therefore, you should maintain the status quo and keep a low profile in the outer continent.
"Yes, I sincerely follow the teachings of the great elder." Xia Hourong, Qi Guanyu, and Yan Feiyue responded at the same time.
"Later, I will be in seclusion for divination. Guan Yu and A Yue will accompany me. You can go about your own business and practice well." said the Great Elder Qi Yifeng.
"Yes -" After Xia Hourong took Tong Yi, Wei Sheng Suwen, Shen Tuqi, and Longxin out, Qi Guanyu took the elders Qi Yifeng and Yan Feiyue into the underground collection room.
The three of them meditated, forming a three-legged stance. Yan Feiyue saw the elder take out a turtle shell from the storage ring, which looked like a turtle shell carved from stone.
"This is a 990,000-year-old stone turtle shell." The great elder poured out a stone-carved coin from the turtle shell and explained:
"Thousand-year-old turtles, turtle shells that are less than ten thousand years old, are the turtle shells of the spirit beasts themselves; turtle shells that are tens of thousands years old, but less than one million years old, are stone turtle shells; turtle shells that are tens of thousands years old, but less than one million years old, are stone turtle shells; those that are millions of years old, but not enough Those that are thousands of years old are jade turtle shells; those that are thousands of years old can only be crystal turtle shells.
A turtle that has been around for thousands of years will form hexagram coins made of the same material in its mouth. I have heard of the jade turtle shell, and it is said that an elder from the Immortal Sect in the Central Continent has it, but the crystal turtle shell is really just a legend! "
Yan Feiyue nodded in understanding and took out her turtle shell. None of them knew this, not even Qi Guanyu.
I saw the great elder Qi Yifeng pick up the stone coins and knock the turtle shell. After only knocking once, he put the turtle shell in and shook it once before pouring out the stone coins. Repeated six times and finally got the hexagram.
"My hexagram is also called Heaven and Earth. What you are divining is the meaning of the hexagram, and what I am divining is the six lines. The six lines are interpreted from bottom to top:
In the sixth line of the lunar month, pull out the roots of the thatch, one root with the other, and only if the same kind of people stay upright together can they be auspicious and prosperous.
In line sixty-two, flattery will bring good fortune to the villain, and prosperity to the grown-up will be achieved if they are not deceived.
Sixty-three lines, endure humiliation and stick to your position.
Ninety-four Yao, comply with destiny and receive blessings together with the same kind.
In the ninth and fifth lines, if you stop the state of no, you will get good luck. Decline, decay, and in this way guard against the fear of danger, as strong as being tied to a mulberry tree.
On the ninth line, Bu's state has been overturned. There is worry first, and then joy.
This hexagram is extremely special. The first six lines should be solved together with the sixty-two and six-third lines, and the ninth-fourth line should be solved together with the nine-fifth and upper nine lines. "
Yan Feiyue's eyes lit up when she heard this. She looked at the great elder expectantly and urged him to continue.
“The lower three lines all belong to Yin, and they refer to the fortune of those who enter the secret realm.
Weak people seek more small fortunes just to save their lives. Such monks are more likely to be prosperous. Strong people will be tempted more, but if a group of companions can distribute it peacefully, there will be no risk for their lives. Another way is to simply go in for a walk. In a circle, monks who do nothing will be safer.
The upper three lines all belong to Yang, and they describe the state of the entire secret realm.
The secret realm is opened to benefit monks, but monks' cultivation has always been about changing their destiny against nature. Therefore, if they want to obtain blessings, they must break through the fear of death in their hearts and experience danger before they can gain joy. " Great Elder Qi Yifeng explained.
"I see, divination is really profound and profound -" Yan Feiyue was so mesmerized that she couldn't help but sigh.
"Based on the secret realms unearthed on the outer continent, those with strong cultivations refer to the monks in the Yuan Ying stage, and the weak ones mostly refer to the monks in the Qi training, foundation building, and golden elixir stages. However, the hexagram only emphasizes adults and villains, so then This means that in the end, only two high-level monks can be allowed to enter. I estimate that the final test results should be that monks at the Nascent Soul stage and monks at the Golden Core stage can enter." Great Elder Qi Yifeng explained.
"Can we still understand it this way?" Yan Feiyue felt that she was taking it for granted, right?
"This is the secret of divination. Sometimes things are undecided, but when more people think about it, things are settled. So with God's will, it is actually the world of cultivation, this four-ring continent, where most monks It’s just people’s wishes.” The words of the Great Elder Qi Yifeng were particularly interesting.
"So it can still be like this -" Yan Feiyue was a little stunned.
"That's it. You will know when you see more in the future. Today's divination is over. Three days later, you and I will make a divination together." After the great elder Qi Yifeng finished speaking, he waved his hand and let the two of them go out.
The next day, at lunch, Yan Feiyue, Qi Guanyu, and Tong Yi were drinking spiritual fruit porridge in the dining room. The head of the Xiahou family walked in with some spiritual fruits and explained:
"The people who came down from the upper world brought a lot of good things with them this time. These seven hundred-year-old fifth-level spiritual fruits were bought from the monks hosted by the Wen family next door."
"Thank you, uncle. Level five spiritual fruits are still rare -"
Yan Feiyue loved fruits the most when she was in the modern continent. Naturally, she couldn't do without spiritual fruits when she got here. It's just that high-grade spiritual fruits here are a little harder to come by. It's not that she can't afford them because she doesn't have the money, but because the level of the map is not high enough. , I can’t buy it even if I want to!
Xia Hourong felt that his neglected nephew should be matched with such a lively and lovely girl, and said: "During this period of time, people in the mainland are very confused. You three should practice hard at home. It won't be long before someone comes from the upper world." Will go back."
"Senior, what did you hear?" Tong Yi picked up a butter fruit and peeled it.
"This morning, our 20 middle schools from the outer continent, representatives from the 30 major families from the inner continent, and representatives from some middle schools held a meeting together." Xia Hourong told the truth.
"When we have a meeting outside the mainland, we can still think of the Xiahou family. Aren't the elders not able to represent the Qi family?" Yan Feiyue didn't mean to look down on anyone, she was just stating the facts.
"Elder Qi cannot represent the Qi family. That's because the inner continent is the territory of thirty major families, and the Qi family is only one of the thirty families. But in the outer continent, no one can look down upon the god-transforming monks. Even here, The monks from the Inner Continent who came with us for the first time did not dare to offend a god-transforming monk easily."
Xia Hou Rong said that he clearly felt that the situation in the outer continent had changed this time, and it was a change that was beneficial to the Xia Hou family. The family should seize this opportunity to repair and restore their strength.
"Sure enough, fists are the last word, these villains are trying to flatter others and suppress others!" Yan Feiyue complained about her strength.
Tong Yi nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Senior Xiahou, what did you say in this meeting?"
"The meeting announced the purpose of the upper realm monks' trip, which is to calculate the specific location, specific time, number limit, and cultivation limit of the secret realm being unearthed. After everything is confirmed, some monks will be left behind, as well as monks from the outer continent. Cooperate to stabilize the environment unearthed in the secret realm; finally, after they go back to discuss it, they will announce the details of entering the secret realm," Xia Hourong explained.
"They are really overbearing. It's obviously a secret realm in the outer continent. It doesn't matter if they have a foot in it. Now it has become their home field. It's so overwhelming -" Yan Feiyue was very unconvinced.
"Having said that, who wants to be tough? I'm not sure whether China Mainland will intervene in this matter! Otherwise, you think they are going back to discuss something other than going back to discuss with representatives from China Mainland." Xia Hourong said. Just thinking about it makes me feel better.
"I see. However, China Mainland shouldn't be able to get involved in this matter in the secret realm -" Yan Feiyue had a flash of inspiration and felt a little proud.
"How do you say this?" Qi Guanyu actually hopes that China Mainland will not get involved, otherwise there will be too many uncertainties.
"Do you still remember that I consider the strong and the weak, and the Great Elder considers the adults and the villains?" Yan Feiyue gave up.
"Remember." Qi Guanyu was very patient.
But Tong Yi didn't have the patience and urged: "Say quickly -"
"This big and small should not only refer to the level of cultivation, but also the level of the region. There are only two combinations now, the outer continent and the mortal continent, the inner continent and the outer continent, and there is no such thing as the middle continent. "Yan Feiyue is very sure and satisfied with her latest interpretation of the hexagrams.
"That should be it -" Qi Guanyu was still very confident in Yan Feiyue's ability to interpret hexagrams, and he could finally feel relieved.
