Holy Bone

Chapter 1912

Ten-Faced Buddha, Old Man Li Huo, and others had already entered the Silver-level Divine Ruins Mine once before, so they had a better understanding of the situation there.

Therefore, he wanted to deduce the intentions of these people in the Black Mountain City by observing their movements, and see if they aligned with his own direction of travel.

To avoid the possibility that there might be some strange forbidden areas or dangerous restrictions within this ancient city of Black Mountain, he might have accidentally wandered into one.

After two psionic disturbances, the seemingly peaceful Black Mountain Ancient City gave him a sense of danger, like encountering a thousand-year-old black pool in a deep forest. Beneath the seemingly calm surface lay an unfathomable abyss. At this moment, proceeding with caution was the best course of action.

With the appearance of the magical compass, the divination results were quickly obtained.

The compass rose and the divination revealed the southeast direction as Qian above and Li below, which is the upper-middle hexagram of Heaven and Fire in Harmony.

The Qian trigram represents Heaven, signifying that diligence is rewarded by Heaven, that a dragon soars in the sky, and that one must follow the will of Heaven.

The group represents fire, symbolizing the bright sun and its vast potential.

The upper trigram is Qian (Heaven) and the lower trigram is Fire. The image says: Wealth and honor descend from Heaven, and all things are convenient.

but.

Li represents fire and brightness, while Qian represents heaven. Together, they also signify the rising and setting of the sun, its repeated cycles. This is why this hexagram is not considered a top-tier hexagram, but only a middle-tier one, because it is a hexagram with both Li above and below, implying that good and bad fortune are intertwined, and blessings and misfortunes accompany each other.

The Elder of Fire (Li) is accompanied by the Li position, two Li fires overlapping, illuminating both above and below. In the Li fire position, he can indeed be as bright as the sun, with great potential and rapid progress, the fire burning ever higher. However, Li symbolizes fire, and if one doesn't know when to stop, act within one's capabilities, and follow the natural order, being overly eager for success can easily lead to the fire burning too far, resulting in the ominous sign of decline after reaching its peak. Just as the sun rises and sets repeatedly, this is the law of Yin and Yang; when Yang reaches its extreme, Yin arises, and when Yin reaches its extreme, Yang arises.

While it is true that seeking profit by leaving one's position can lead to rapid progress and twice the result with half the effort, if one does not know how to adapt and is too eager to achieve quick success, it is easy to get burned and end up in decline after reaching the peak.

As the saying goes, success and failure both depend on fire.

Wu Tou Jin An has always believed in the magic compass, which has never failed to predict the future. Unless it fails for some special reason and fails to produce a divination result, once the compass produces a divination result, it is basically accurate.

Since the Luo Geng Jade Plate shows the hexagram of the upper and lower Li trigrams being the same, it indicates that there must be changes in the Li Fire Elder's position in the south.

“Everyone in the Celestial Master’s Mansion is a master of feng shui. With the feng shui expertise of Elder Li Huo and the Jiang family patriarch, it’s impossible that they wouldn’t see this. The two masters of feng shui working together should, in theory, try to avoid the many taboos mentioned in the divination and proceed with caution…”

"However, if I had to choose between believing in the Old Man of Li Huo, the Ancestor of the Jiang Family, and believing in the Luogeng Jade Plate, I would believe more in the Luogeng Jade Plate's ability to calculate all the secrets of heaven."

"Human beings are capable of making mistakes. Often, under pressure, people are forced to do things that go against their wishes. For example, when faced with significant interests, greed can temporarily cloud one's judgment."

Looking at the divination symbols on the compass, the headless Jin An sneered inwardly. He planned to add fuel to the fire of the Li Fire Elder in the Li position, so that the fire would burn even brighter.

Since the Old Man of Fire so enjoys leaving his position, believing that he can seek profit by leaving his position, and that he can enjoy a bright and prosperous future with blessings from the heavens, then the Emperor will grant the Old Man of Fire's wish and send him a heavenly opportunity.
