Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 145 Three Legal Coins
Everyone in the hall was confused or not, but Master Shui Jing ignored them.

After talking about the mysterious theory, he went on to talk about how to apply numerology in practice.

The people in the hall who were listening listlessly thought that the speech had finally gotten to the point, and they became alert and began to listen attentively. But after a moment, they all showed different expressions.

Because what Master Shuijing talked about, such as divination, fortune-telling and numerology, are simply common tricks. Even those unorthodox practitioners who pretend to be gods in the mortal world can do some of these tricks. So how can they be considered acquired techniques?

So some people couldn't help but feel disappointed.

In fact, this means that you have not understood at all. If you understand the basics, it is not difficult to understand that no matter the divination methods mentioned by Master Shui Jing or some unique techniques, they are all borrowed and stimulated by spiritual perception. As for the hexagrams obtained, they need to be understood in conjunction with your own understanding and accumulation.

Xu Heng compared what Shui Jing Zhenren said with what he had learned, and soon he had some understanding. When it came to divination, Xu Heng's heart was moved, and he remembered the three magic coins that Shui Jing Zhenren gave him.

Xu Heng pondered for a moment, and suddenly flipped his palm, and three magic coins appeared in his palm. He thought: "The magic coins nurtured by Shuijing Cave Heaven... So this is it."

He closed his palms, wrapped the three coins in them, and then made a gesture. Then he felt a strange feeling coming over him.

"This magic coin really has the magical effect of greatly improving spiritual perception during divination."

As soon as Xu Heng had this thought, that feeling disappeared immediately. He was not surprised because when fortune-telling, one must concentrate without distractions. It was normal for him to have distracting thoughts and his skills to be ruined.

He cleared his mind of distracting thoughts and no longer had the intention of concentrating and casting a hexagram. He just casually let go and threw the coins downwards. He saw three magic coins lined up in a row. The water inside them was swirling and it seemed that some talisman was emerging from them.

Xu Heng took a quick glance. He had no idea what he wanted to predict, so he casually calculated his fortune based on what he had learned. He found it to be a good omen. He couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, then put away the three Water Mirror Coins.

……

Shui Jing Zhenren spent about half a day explaining the art of divination. Some people gained a lot from it, while others were confused and did not understand.

However, a visit to Shuijing Cave will naturally not make people feel that they have gained nothing.

Xu Heng discovered that Master Shui Jing was not only generous and unrestrained, he could also chat and laugh with these youngsters. If others wanted to ask him questions or borrow books from his collection, he would answer their questions and respond to their requests. As a result, the atmosphere became lively in the second half of the day, and both the host and the guests were enjoying themselves.

While Xu Heng was still thinking about what he had gained, he didn't know anyone else present, so he just enjoyed himself and occasionally listened to other people's anecdotes. Time passed quickly.

In the Shuijing Cave, the sun and moon seemed to rotate along with the outside world. When it turned to night, Shuijing Zhenren said that he was tired of interest and thanked the friends for their company. Everyone understood his suggestion and stood up to leave.

Master Shui Jing smiled and nodded, and asked two boys to see him off. Then his figure disappeared into the hall like a stream of water.

Xu Heng sat quietly until everyone in the group had left. Then he stood up, bowed to the two boys, and went out alone.

Walking along the cobblestone path, the clouds and fog on both sides gradually became thicker, until a certain moment, it was as if the screen was opened to see the moon, and somehow I was walking on a mountain path somewhere.

It was night, and there was no sound. Xu Heng smelled the sea breeze and guessed that he should still be in the East China Sea, probably on an island. So he casually flew up into the air and suddenly saw some lights and candles. He looked around and saw a small pavilion with people gathered in it. It turned out to be the people in the Water Mirror Cave Heaven. They seemed to be gathering on this island and accidentally encountered the Water Mirror Cave Heaven passing by, which is how they had such a wonderful fate.

Xu Heng had no intention of having any interaction with these people. Seeing this, he retracted his gaze, shook his body lightly, and turned into a beam of flame that rushed into the night clouds and disappeared on the island.

Not far away, someone saw the flames, but before he could say anything, his attention was drawn back to what was in front of him.

"Fairy Nan, are you leaving?" The man at the head of the group was surprised and tried to persuade her to stay, but Nan Daojing seemed determined to leave. She only said, "Thank you, Daoist Fellow Song, for inviting me to this meeting. It's time for me to leave."

After saying this, she nodded slightly, and then she walked out of the pavilion with lotus steps. Suddenly, she turned into a ray of rainbow and disappeared. In a moment, she turned into a bright spot in the night sky.

Without paying any attention to the disappointed expressions of the crowd, Nan Daojing flew a thousand miles away in one breath. Then he raised his hand lightly, released a thin cloud that wrapped his body, and then fled forward slowly.

"That guy surnamed Song almost had his eyes glued to the hem of the girl's skirt." Nan Daojing was originally calm and composed, but a voice suddenly popped up from somewhere, saying, "If Shuijing Dongtian hadn't passed by here, the girl wouldn't have come to meet him."

Nan Daojing did not reply, but the voice was endless. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a flower on her hairpin that was chattering non-stop: "But Mr. Yun said that every hundred years, Master Shuijing would give the magic money cultivated in the Shuijing Pond to a destined person."

"Miss, you came here for this matter, how come you didn't see this happening? Could it be that Mr. Yun would also tell lies..."

Nan Daojing said: "I came here with intention, but maybe I am not destined to be here."

However, having said that, she thought of the Taoist who had arrived at the Shuijing Cave Heaven ahead of everyone else, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

……

Xu Heng escaped into the clouds and saw the brilliant starry sky. Only then did he feel the reality of returning to the world of the living from the lifeless underworld.

He counted with his fingers and suddenly realized that more than seven years had passed since he left the mountain.

Although seven years seems quite short compared to the long lifespan of a cultivator, it also accounts for nearly half of the time Xu Heng has been on the path of cultivation.

"Is it time to return to the mountain?" This thought vaguely arose in Xu Heng's mind, but after hovering for a moment, he did not settle down.

Now that he has achieved great success in condensing Sha, and the method of refining Gang is already in his hands, he should only need to return to the mountain and practice diligently. Within ten or eight years, he should be able to unite Gang and Sha. But what after that?
Xu Heng hung his hands on the clouds, staring at the moonlight for a while, then he put away his distracting thoughts and thought to himself, "No matter what, I should go to Yuechi Island first and pay a visit to Master Aunt, only then will I be worthy of her friendship."

After careful consideration, he calculated his location by comparing the stars and the sea charts, and found that he was still in the Xingxiu Sea Realm, and should be near the famous Sixteen Islands.

This place is located in the east of Xingxiu, relatively close to Taihe Prefecture, but it is some distance away from Yuechi Island. So Xu Heng chose a direction and used his escape technique, turning into a line of fire that cut through the night sky.
