Chapter 119, getting ready to begin!
On the mountain path, Hong Yin stopped and scanned his surroundings. His dark, lifeless eyes swept over everything around him, but he still couldn't see the figure of a large monkey.
"Don't worry about him. We've already notified everyone. Whether he comes or not is his business."
"He's quite a carefree person now; whether he's willing to take action or not is entirely up to him."
"When calamity strikes, there is no way out; one must save oneself."
The elderly man surnamed Fang continued walking towards the mountaintop with his head down, his voice steady and resonant, echoing through the mountain forest.
"Young Master Lü, are you ready?"
"yes!"
With his peach wood sword on his back, Lü Qian gazed at the dim golden roof hidden in the night in the distance, thinking, "Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise."
"Although this is a calamity for the younger generation, there is also a fortune within it."
"A person is born and takes three hundred days to complete his life, and then enters the world, changing from the innate to the acquired."
"But the number of days in a cycle is 360, and humans are born with this deficiency."
He opened his palms and looked at himself. "If I succeed this time, it will complete my cyclical number of days, thus perfecting my foundation."
"That's right, that's what we think too."
The old man surnamed Lu followed Zhou Meng step by step with his hands behind his back. "After the three of us undergo the tribulation of lightning, the array formation left by the ancestor will naturally continue to operate, drawing in the water, fire, wind and thunder between heaven and earth."
"The three of us will release the [Feng Hou Qi Men] externally, adjusting the celestial climate to perfect your celestial foundation."
Upon hearing this, Lü Qian walked silently up the mountain steps, the damp mountain breeze brushing against his face and stirring a few strands of hair on his forehead.
At this point, Hong Yin snorted coldly, "Hmph!"
"What do you mean by 'using it externally is wrong,' and 'using it internally is the correct way to use it'? I don't care."
"Isn't my external application of this method also a heaven-reaching technique?"
He stopped searching for Zhou Sheng, took a few big strides, and quickly caught up with Zhou Meng ahead.
Hong Yin walked behind him, quite annoyed by his senior brother's mild-mannered nature. "Hurry up, hurry up, the Daoist Master hasn't come out for decades."
"I wonder what's happened to the Golden Summit. We need to find a good location and, before I die, let me take a good look at Wudang now."
"He, Zhou Sheng, has seventy-two transformations, and I, Hong Yin, also have the method of the Zhou Tian Lun Zhuan (circular rotation of the heavens)."
"Master Dao is not bad, not bad at all!"
Hong Yin's incessant chatter broke the silence among the five people.
Zhou Meng paid no attention to the conversations and actions behind him, but simply led the way with his head down, his expression calm.
On the long mountain path, the five people walked towards the Golden Summit in the deserted night.
The road may be long, but as long as the destination is there, keep walking and you will eventually get there.
"arrive!"
Zhou Meng looked at the golden roof in front of him, paused, and stepped onto the last step. He continued silently toward the somewhat dim golden palace.
Behind him, three elderly people followed him side by side, stepping onto the mountaintop plaza with nimble movements.
"clatter!"
The sound of the three footsteps rang out simultaneously, leaving a deep echo in the silent square.
Lu Qian, carrying a peach wood sword on his back and with his hands tucked into his Taoist robe, looked at the four old men in front of him and silently followed.
When the five people arrived at the center of the square, the three elderly people standing side by side looked at the golden dome in front of them and suddenly became solemn.
"Thump!"
"This disciple is unworthy, obsessed with strange skills, forgetting the teachings of his teachers, putting the cart before the horse, and thus living a chaotic life."
The three elderly men suddenly knelt down in the direction of the golden roof, their foreheads touching the ground with a dull thud.
"Now we, the three disciples, have once again found the path of enlightenment. We do not seek atonement for our sins, but only peace of mind."
After speaking, the three old men stood up again and walked towards the area around the Golden Hall.
"Young Master Lü, why aren't you returning to your position in the Golden Palace at once?"
"Your disciple obeys!"
Lu Qian bowed to the Golden Hall, then quickly stepped onto the stone steps in front of the Golden Hall and disappeared into the dark Golden Hall.
Zhou Meng looked at the four people who had taken their places, took a few steps back, and came down to the bottom of the mountain path.
"One more moment!"
He looked up at the clouds high in the sky, felt the mountain wind around him, and shouted in a deep voice.
"Charge!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three rotating Qimen formations around the Golden Hall suddenly expanded, forming a unique pattern.
The Qimen Dunjia divination technique is based on the framework of the Three Wonders and Six Instruments and the Seventy-Two Seasonal Phenomena, and is derived from these.
The ten Heavenly Stems are: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui.
The Three Wonders refer to: Yi, Bing, and Ding, which are respectively the Sun Wonder, the Moon Wonder, and the Star Wonder.
Jia is the first of the ten-day periods, and the remaining Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui are deduced in that order.
In Qimen Dunjia divination, the central palace is usually determined first, followed by the Three Wonders and then the Six Instruments. This establishes the four-plate structure of Heaven, Earth, Man, and God.
Fang, Lu, and Hong each took their place in the Three Wonders position on the Golden Summit. With a command from Zhou Meng, the three rotating Qimen formations expanded and rotated in the blink of an eye, and the complex and ever-changing palaces were dazzling.
The three Qimen formations instantly spread across the entire Golden Summit, completely surrounding the central Golden Hall.
"call--"
As the situation changed, the favorable timing and location on the Golden Summit were completely altered by Feng Hou Qi Men, and the thoughts of the three elders changed as well.
The sky above the Golden Summit was filled with ever-changing clouds and a fierce wind that swept through, stirring up the mist and mountain air. The already somewhat humid air became even more concentrated, as if you could squeeze water out of it if you pinched it.
The mountain wind ruffled Zhou Meng's hair, scattering his gray hair. He waved his sleeves to cover himself while calming his mind to sense the surrounding environment.
"call--"
The mountain wind grew increasingly violent, forcing Zhou Meng to crouch down and grab the mountain steps beneath him to steady himself.
"The Awakening of Insects is approaching; all palaces shall return to their positions!"
With a loud shout, the ever-changing landscape on the mountaintop suddenly became regular, with the four plates of Heaven, Earth, Man, and God slowly rotating in specific directions, like three intricate gears.
The previously raging mountain wind suddenly subsided, and Zhou Meng took two steps back. Now it was just the calm before the storm.
"Boom!"
The originally dim night sky was suddenly filled with thick black clouds, with sparse flashes of lightning flickering in the rolling clouds, and muffled sounds coming from within from time to time.
As the Awakening of Insects arrives, the yang energy rises, the temperature warms up, spring thunder rumbles, and rainfall increases, bringing vitality to all things.
This is the time of preparation before the Awakening of Insects, with muffled thunder booming in the sky, the rumbling becoming more and more powerful, and the flashes of lightning becoming more and more frequent.
