This scoundrel is a bit of a swordsman.

Chapter 124: Eight Innate Hexagrams

Master Xin's words struck the hearts of the group like a heavy hammer, silencing them instantly.

Ruoxue's gaze swept over Xiaoxingchen like a scanner, finding it hard to believe that they had only come to have their fortunes told, yet they had come up with such an astonishing result.

She didn't know how to report these things to the Lord. As for Xiao Xingchen, he was always oblivious and viewed the world with a critical eye, like an observer.

He had never truly integrated into this world, yet these words were like a bucket of ice water poured over his head, leaving him looking extremely pale.

It turns out that I was just a lucky but unlucky guy. Did I travel to this world just to be a stepping stone for a complete stranger?

Whenever he thought of this, it was as if a volcano was erupting in his heart, with flames of anger burning fiercely.

This is intolerable! They have gone too far!

"Damn it! I'll make sure they pay for this when I find out who's behind this!"

Xiao Xingchen slammed his fist on the table, then jumped to his feet and bowed deeply to Elder Xin.

"Thank you so much for telling me this, Master Xin. I will always remember your kindness."

This sudden turn of events surprised even Elder Xin.

The boy seemed to have instantly shed all his arrogance, and his entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change, as if he had calmly accepted everything.

"Are you OK?"

"I am asking tentatively," Master Xin asked.

"Of course it's alright. Since someone has plotted against me, I will naturally 'repay' them properly. However, I hope that if you have any other information, you can also tell me. I will certainly not let you take the risk for nothing, and I will repay you properly."

Xiao Xingchen's voice was strong and resolute, as firm as steel.

Although he was somewhat angry, he also realized one thing: he wouldn't die before being transformed into a suitable wedding dress; even if he wanted to die, those people wouldn't allow it.

Therefore, he doesn't need to worry too much at this moment, because he still has plenty of time to turn things around.

Are you really sure you're okay?

Ruoxue asked with concern.

"Don't worry, with Elder Xin's words, even if I die, I won't be a confused ghost. I still have time,"

"That's great. I was worried you'd never recover from this."

"I'm not as fragile as you think. Even if I have to die, I still want to see who is behind this."

Master Xin nodded slightly, feeling a sense of goodwill towards his attitude.

If anyone else had heard such words, there would probably have been a huge uproar, but this young man was able to accept everything so calmly, which was truly unexpected.

"Forget about repaying me. I've told you everything I can. As for the future, that's up to fate. There's one thing you've probably already thought of: don't worry about your three incense sticks for now. Even if the yang fire is extinguished, you won't die."

“I understand, they won’t allow me to die, which is fine, it makes things easier for me.”

"Hmm, you are quite quick-witted, but a bit frivolous. If you can calm down, learn to be silent, and learn to be patient, you are not without a chance. After all, your opportunities are your solid assets. If you want to protect everything you have, you need to bravely move forward."

"Thank you very much, Master Xin. I will keep your wise words in mind. I have nothing to repay you with, so I will give you a small gift."

Xiao Xingchen was genuinely grateful. If it weren't for these words today, he would have really thought that he was just exceptionally talented. It turned out that everything he had was a gift from someone, which was extremely important to him.

"No need to give it to me. We agreed on a 20% discount, so nine coins will be enough. I'm absolutely honest and fair to everyone."

"is it?"

Xiao Xingchen smiled, took out the Bagua compass, and waved it at Elder Xin.

"You're not interested in this either?"

"Damn it, my darling, when did you take my darling? Give it back to me right now!"

"Master Xin, please don't be anxious. How did you obtain this?"

"Where did you get this? It's an heirloom, give it back to me!"

"Do you know what this is?"

"Hmm? Do you know?" Old Xin's whole body trembled, and a glint of light appeared in his eyes, as if he were expecting something.

"So you don't know what this is? Could you tell me about its origin? Perhaps I can help you figure it out,"

"Of course, of course, young man, please have a seat, I'll explain it to you slowly."

Ruoxue covered her face again. These two are really something else, they won't do anything without a reason. They have such dog-like faces. Just now they were acting like they were fighting to the death, and now they're good brothers.

"This is something passed down from generation to generation in our Divine Calculation Sect. Our ancestor said that if one day we could discover the true nature of this treasure, we might be able to break through the nine heavens. However, after generation after generation, we still don't understand what it is or how to use it. Gradually, we have come to regard it as something to ward off evil or protect ourselves."

"Where did this thing come from? Do you remember?"

Xiao Xingchen held it in his hand and pondered. This was the Innate Eight Trigrams Plate. In his previous life, this was not a rare item; many Taoist temples had it, and almost every Feng Shui practitioner possessed one. However, this Eight Trigrams Plate seemed to be no ordinary object. A mysterious aura flowed between the Yang and Yin lines.

"I don't remember, it's been too long. It seems to have been left behind by the first patriarch, and it seems to have been something from outer space."

"Outside the sky?"

Xiao Xingchen's heart skipped a beat. Could this have been brought over by a previous transmigrator? Otherwise, where would such a sophisticated Bagua compass come from? This world couldn't even create something like this.

"Yes, it is beyond the heavens. I remember now, the first patriarch seemed to have mentioned that this was some kind of Bagua, but no one has been able to figure out what it is over the years."

"Just as I thought,"

Xiao Xingchen returned the Bagua compass to Elder Xin. He didn't know how to use it either, but he could tell Elder Xin some information about the innate Bagua. Whether Elder Xin could comprehend it was up to him.

"I am about to say something, and whether you can understand it depends on yourself."

Old Master Xin's body trembled, and he suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with light.

Ruoxue straightened up, her eyes practically brimming with curiosity.

After thinking it over carefully, he slowly began to recount his story.

"This object is the Primordial Eight Trigrams Plate, a tool used to deduce the relationships between various things in the world, space, and time. It uses Qian and Kun to determine north and south, and Kan and Li to determine east and west. The order is heaven and earth, with the top being heaven and Qian, the bottom being earth and Kun, the left being east and Li, and the right being west and Kan. Therefore, the Primordial Eight Trigrams numbers are: Qian 1, Dui 2, Li 3, Zhen 4, Xun 5, Kan 6, Gen 7, Kun 8,"

"Wait, wait, let me write this down."

Old Xin began to tremble all over. He frantically searched for paper and pen, but he forgot that he was a disabled person. In his excitement, he fell directly to the ground.

"Old Master Xin, don't get agitated, I'll go help you look for it," Ruoxue quickly stepped forward to help.

"Quick, quick, I can sense that these words are opening a new door for me. Quick, hurry, I need to write them down."

Xiao Xingchen knew what these words meant to someone who had studied divination for thousands of years. The Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Chaos were mysterious and unpredictable, even in his previous life. He had only copied some of the contents from his memory. As for what they actually meant, he had never studied them before and only had a vague understanding. As for how much Elder Xin could comprehend and whether the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Chaos could be passed down in this world, that all depended on Elder Xin's comprehension.

"Okay, okay, you say it, I'll write it down."

Xin Lao snatched the paper and pen from Ruoxue's hand and spread them out on the ground.

"The Taiji generates the Two Forms, the Two Forms generate the Four Symbols, the Four Symbols generate the Eight Trigrams,"

Next, Xiao Xingchen poured out everything he had ever heard about Tai Chi and Bagua. He didn't know if it was useful; the main thing was to go through a lot of information. As for which parts were useful, that was up to the elder.

Upon hearing these words, Elder Xin was completely stunned. A pen dangling from his mouth, he stared blankly at the words written on the ground, sometimes raging, sometimes deep in thought, sometimes crouching down, sometimes dancing.

"What are you talking about? Are you going to drive him crazy?" Ruoxue asked suspiciously. She couldn't understand a word she was saying.

"Shh, let's slowly back out and leave this place to Elder Xin. This is my way of thanking him."

Xiao Xingchen stopped Ruoxue from speaking, and the two walked quietly outside. Even after leaving the courtyard, they could still hear the excited sounds coming from inside.

"Wonderful, wonderful! This is the origin of heaven and earth, the beginning of all things, the innate Bagua. It truly lives up to its name as the innate Bagua. I understand, I understand. So this is the key to breaking through the nine heavens."
