"It's late now, Chen Yun and others have already checked into the post station with Naihe, Weihe, and Yolihun."
Since the post station knew that Chen Yun and others were representing the Xianhuang of the Jurchen to express condolences, they arranged the best room.
At this moment, it was just evening outside, and a gentle night breeze was blowing.
Standing by the window, Chen Yun looked out at the bamboo forest ahead, suddenly feeling inexplicably inspired.
"Why would I suddenly have a surge of inspiration if I have already realized enlightenment and become a immortal?"
Chen Yun closed his eyes and counted, discovering that the future seemed shrouded in mist, and he couldn't make it out at all.
"No!" He couldn't help but frown, "Since I learned the Taiping Qingling Book, my ability to deduce hasn't become powerful. At least I can predict changes within three days and four weeks. However, now I cannot even calculate tomorrow's events. It's obvious that this matter has something to do with me."
Moreover, he could be very certain that it was probably something bad.
Chen Yun fell into deep thought, pondering what would happen and why it would make him have a sudden inspiration.
He suddenly thought of something: just because he couldn't deduce his own future doesn't mean others can't either.
Chen Yun blinked his eyes, muttering to himself, "Naihe's cultivation is far beyond mine, and Weihe's seems to be higher than mine. If I consult them about my situation, perhaps they can really tell me what dangers may lie ahead."
Thoughts in mind, he didn't hesitate, turning around and stepping out of the room at once.
Arriving at the neighboring room, he knocked on the door.
Tap, tap, tap.
The voice of Naihe came from inside, "Mr. Chen, please come in."
Chen Yun pushed open the door and saw that Naihe, Weihe, and Yolihun were sitting at the table drinking.
He closed the door with his hand, smiling brightly as he walked over, "Gentlemen, it seems you're having a great time."
Naihe laughed heartily, gesturing, "Please sit down and join us for a drink?"
Chen Yun casually tucked the hem of his robe and sat cross-legged in front of the table, "Well."
Yolihun took the initiative to pour a small cup of yellow wine for Chen Yun.
Chen Yun just picked up the cup and sipped a little.
Naihe smiled and asked, "As the saying goes, one doesn't visit the temples of the Three Precious Jewels without a reason. Why have you suddenly come to visit us, Mr. Chen?"
Chen Yun put his wine cup back on the table and said with a smile, "I really have something to say."
Naihe reached out and said, "Please speak."
Weihe and Yolihun also put down their cups and looked at Chen Yun.
"I was admiring the bamboo in front of the window when I suddenly felt inspired and had a premonition that something might happen in the unknown realm," Chen Yun spoke slowly, "However, after I calculated it with my fingers, the future was as unclear as seeing flowers through a fog. It's quite obscure and may contain disaster. Therefore, I have come here to seek advice from you. Can any of you calculate the future? Could you help me calculate it?"
Naihe furrowed his brows and said, "Mr. Chen, both myself and Weihe are skilled in divination. In theory, there's no harm in giving you a calculation. However, you have realized enlightenment and become an immortal, transcending the Three Realms and the realm of yin and yang. If we force ourselves to deduce something related to you, it may invite great power to backlash."
Chen Yun knew Naihe's words were not empty. Those who have realized enlightenment and become immortals are indeed beyond the Three Realms and the Five Elements. Attempting to forcefully calculate the destiny of an immortal could indeed invite backlash from great power, and it might even cause serious injuries if not careful.
It seems that neither Naihe nor Weihe can truly calculate for themselves.
Chen Yun fell into a moment of silence, deep in thought about how to learn about future changes.
Suddenly, Weihe, sitting beside, spoke up: "Brother Naihe, we don't necessarily need to calculate the future of Mr. Chen. We can look into other aspects."
Naihe suddenly awoke to the idea and exclaimed, "Brother Wei, are you saying..."
Yolihun laughed and said, "Brother Wei's idea is simple. We don't necessarily have to calculate Mr. Chen's future. We can look into other aspects, such as our own. For example, I haven't become an immortal yet. If what will happen in the future may affect me, wouldn't you be able to see through my future calculation?"
Chen Yun slapped his forehead, yes, he could certainly calculate the future of his companions.
Naihe smiled warmly, "In that case, I will calculate Yolihun's future to see if it's related to Mr. Chen. But we have a great relationship with Yolihun, so it may not be accurate. If Mr. Chen is proficient in divination methods, he can also make a calculation."
Chen Yun felt that this was reasonable, nodded and said, "Well."
Naihe said, "I'll go ahead and make a calculation first, then Mr. Chen can perform his own divination."
Saying this, he looked at Yolihun and said, "Brother-in-arms, would you mind pulling out a strand of your hair?"
Yolihun pulled out a strand of his hair and handed it over.
Naihe took the hair, and then immediately blew out a white bone essence, which instantly stained the hair.
The next moment, the strand of hair floated in mid-air, twisting and contorting into a symbol.
Chen Yun did not recognize this symbol.
Fortunately, Naihe explained, "This is a special spell in my shamanistic religion. It represents military disaster. Moreover, this symbol indicates that the military disaster is very likely to be related to Jin Feng."
Jin Feng?
Chen Yun really didn't understand what that meant.
On the side, Weihe said, "This omen does not seem to be caused by natural environment but rather by human-made disaster. Therefore, this Jin Feng is probably the name of the person who started the military disaster or something related to him."
Chen Yun still didn't understand and said, "I will deduce it again and then consider the reason later."
Yolihun actively asked, "Mr. Chen, do you need me to pull out a strand of hair?"
"No need." Chen Yun waved his hand and said, "Just tell me your year, month, day, and hour of birth."
Yolihun hesitated for a moment, but seeing Naihe and Weihe nodding, he then recited his birth date and time.
After Chen Yun received Yolihun's birth date, he immediately began to follow the methods in the "Taiyang Qingling Book" to gather divine energy and drew a golden and brilliant Taijiao pattern in front of his body.
In an instant, the Taijiao pattern began to rotate automatically.
After a moment, a red light point and a wood-yellow light point appeared on it.
Chen Yun looked at Naihe with a puzzled expression and asked, "Did you say that the future military disaster was caused by Jin Feng?"
Naihe also couldn't understand Chen Yun's divination techniques.
He naturally nodded and replied, "That's right, is there anything wrong?"
Weihe and Yolihun also showed curious expressions.
Chen Yun frowned and said, "But I deduced that the military disaster has some connection with wood and fire..."
Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly thought of something. "Wait a moment!"
Weihe asked, "Mr. Chen, have you thought of something?"
Chen Yun said, "It's still not certain."
He directly extended his finger, using divine energy to write the characters "Xie" and "Gou" on the table.
After writing, Chen Yun looked at the three of them and asked, "Can you see any subtleties in these two characters?"
The three of them stared at the characters for a moment.
Naihe said, "The character 'Xie' belongs to the gold element, while the character 'Gou' belongs to the wood element. Perhaps these are the surnames of two people."
Chen Yun laughed lightly and said, "Yes, I have two enemies, called Xie Wuyang and Gou Teng."
Weihe looked puzzled and said, "The character 'Xie' corresponds to the element of gold and 'Gou' to wood, which matches the characters Jin and Mu. But how do we explain the elements of wind and fire?"
Yolihun was the lowest in cultivation, so naturally he couldn't understand.
Even the highest in cultivation among them, Naihe, looked puzzled now.
Chen Yun said slowly, "I've heard that Xie Wuyang has a secret treasure with awe-inspiring power, called the Fengshen Flag. Isn't that where the 'wind' comes from? Since 'Xie' belongs to gold and the Fengshen Flag belongs to wind, it exactly corresponds to the 'Jin Feng' Mr. Naihe divined."
Naihe muttered to himself, "It seems that Xie Wuyang is definitely the culprit."
Weihe and Yolihun also agreed with Chen Yun's guess.
Chen Yun continued, "As for the fire element, I have to be honest, I really haven't thought it through. Maybe the Gou Teng cultivator also has a powerful divine treasure related to fire, which is why the pattern shows wood and fire."
At this point, Naihe seemed to have remembered something and asked, "Mr. Chen, are you referring to Gou Teng, the master of Kunlun Xingxiu Sea?"
Chen Yun looked over and asked, "Indeed. Have you met him?"
Naihe laughed coldly and said, "I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be him. Years ago, before I realized enlightenment, I once fought with him in the desert. He indeed has a powerful divine treasure related to fire, called the Star Fire Shield, which I almost fell into a great trap in. The Star Fire Shield will immediately release one hundred and eight different stars' fire from its coverage, which can destroy heaven and earth with its incredible power."
Chen Yun had long known that the Fengshen Flag was incredibly powerful. Now that he heard about Gou Teng having such a formidable treasure as the Star Fire Shield, he pondered silently whether his own Qibao Miaoshu (Seven Treasures Wonder Tree) could overcome these two treasures.
If he could defeat these two people, he might still have a chance. But if he couldn't, it was very likely that he would be in trouble.
Chen Yun had previously learned that Gou Teng was a celestial practitioner at the land fairy realm.
As he was just at the beginning of the realm of mortal fairy, he was definitely not a match for Gou Teng.
The only possibility now was to try to run as soon as possible.
As for Xie Wuyang, even though he had realized enlightenment several decades earlier, Chen Yun practiced internal alchemy, while Xie Wuyang practiced yinshen. Chen Yun wasn't really afraid of him and even had a strong desire to kill Xie Wuyang severely.
It's just a pity that Gou Teng is there!
Chen Yun's heart secretly regretted it.
Who would have thought that Naihe suddenly showed a sinister look and said, "If it's indeed the Gou Teng Daoist from Kunlun Xingxiu Sea, Mr. Chen, you can rest assured that I will definitely help you in a battle with him!"
Chen Yun was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "In that case, the poor cultivator is deeply grateful for Mr. Naihe's assistance."
Naihe waved his hand and said, "It's no problem. I remember that Xie Wuyang and Gou Teng are like brothers and sisters, right?"
Chen Yun nodded and said, "Indeed."
Naihe's eyes grew increasingly fierce. "Alright, if you are truly no match for Xie Wuyang, I will have Weihe step in to help you eliminate this old scoundrel."
Weihe stated, "Brother Chen, don't worry. That Xie Wuyang just became a celestial cultivator and hasn't been around for several decades. He certainly isn't my match. If Gou Teng and Xie Wuyang really dare to come, I and my brother will definitely make them regret coming!"
Chen Yun knew that Naihe and Weihe were willing to step in, not because they wanted to help him, but rather because of Naihe's personal grudge with Gou Teng.
But no matter what the reason, it is a matter of righteousness that they are willing to help him in this situation.
Chen Yun cupped his hands and thanked, "Thank you, two, for being willing to lend a helping hand. Chen Yun is truly grateful."
"Mr. Chen, no need for such formality," Naihe firstly expressed politeness, and then said, "Xie Wuyang and Gou Teng have already achieved enlightenment and immortality, so they definitely won't act recklessly in the mortal realm. I conjecture that they will set up a rather powerful array, completely isolating us from the outside world. Therefore, we still need to ponder over it carefully and discuss how to deal with their array. Otherwise, if we really get entangled in their array, it will be very unfavorable for us."
Array?
Chen Yun revealed a confident smile and said, "I am particularly good at arrays. As long as you can guess what kind of array they are setting up, I will definitely be able to break it."
