Chapter 90: The Positive and Negative Seals Gather!

~8 min read 1,577 words

The matter of the Ghost Mother Sect was considered to have come to an end.

Master Yang was completely fine, and the senior brothers' guesses were entirely correct.

The Water Bath Sect just wanted to lure away this great Buddha entrenched in Pingyang Town, and didn't really want to take action. Otherwise, the gains and losses would not be proportional at all. Every time they did it, they would lose, and if they did it a few more times, the remaining old capital would be lost.

Next, the imperial court would take the people away, and Liang Qu and his group could wait for the rewards with peace of mind.

It's just that the time might be a bit longer. Sending letters back and forth, sending people, and having the three halls try the case, making a decision, it wouldn't come down in less than a month.

At the moment of parting, Yang Shi called Liang Qu: "Little Nine, stay for a while. I'll measure your destiny."

Several senior brothers paused their steps, and Hu Qi asked: "Master, did you get the incense ash?"

Yang Dongxiong nodded: "Hmm, when I went to Chaojiang County, I mentioned it. The County Magistrate went to Taibai Cloud Temple overnight to get a few portions of twenty-year-old incense ash for me."

Liang Qu had read many books and had a slight understanding of destiny.

He knew that the most critical material in the step of measuring destiny was incense ash.

This incense ash was not ordinary incense ash; it must be burned by destiny-pattern incense and nourished for more than five years. The longer the time, the more accurate the measured destiny.

The better the measured destiny, it often meant the higher the achievement in the future. Placed on a martial artist, it naturally meant the stronger the strength.

Moreover, a lot of information could be seen from the destiny. Following or acting according to the destiny information often yielded twice the result with half the effort.

For example, Great Shun's youngest Wu Sheng, Zhang Longxiang, possessed both a positive seal and a negative seal in his destiny.

The positive seal was the Great Pillar Shenshan, and the negative seal was the Owl God Seizing Food.

Seal meant a seal.

Negative meant incorrect or non-subordinate.

This seal was great and fierce. The destiny measurer's verdict was that if Zhang Longxiang wanted to have extraordinary achievements in the future, he must encounter great danger.

If he crossed it, the road ahead would be smooth; if he couldn't cross it, everything would disappear, or he would hide, and there would be no progress in his life.

Thirteen years later, Zhang Longxiang encountered an ambush in the Northern Wilderness. All his accompanying officials died in battle. He fought three Perfected Forms alone, killed two and injured one, achieved perfection, and became the Yao Dragon Wu Sheng at the age of only forty-eight, gaining another eight hundred years of life.

In addition, there was the Yuanji Wu Sheng. Because his destiny was related to the barren mountains, he entered the mountains and wilderness alone for thirty-six years and attained the Dao at the age of two hundred and eighty, creating the Barren Mountain Method, withering and flourishing, returning to his youth.

Unfortunately, this person was not a rogue Wu Sheng, but belonged to the Great Qian. After coming out, he didn't think about surrendering but wanted to resist, and not long after, he was beheaded by the Wu Sheng of Great Shun. Oh, that was Zhang Longxiang.

Two newly promoted Martial Saints, in the end, the Great Pillar Shenshan crushed the Great Barren Stone Mountain.

The land where the great battle took place was watered by blood, raising many spirit monsters and small demons. Even a mouse digging a hole could be as big as a calf, with sharp teeth and claws, capable of biting off large trees, and ordinary people were no match for them. Afterward, Great Shun sent people to clean them up for a long time.

These things were all seen by Liang Qu in books, not folk fabrications, but serious historical records.

Of course, destiny is not absolute. People's destinies often influence each other.

A good destiny might not show good results, dying young before achieving anything; a bad destiny might not show bad results, with the help of nobles, also rising to the top.

Even some people are born with a lowly destiny, but after meeting a noble, they can even change their own destiny, which is magical.

So destiny is mainly for reference. If you are overly superstitious, you will fall into the lower class.

Liang Qu was very curious about what his destiny would be.

He followed Yang Dongxiong into the secret room. The other senior brothers originally wanted to leave, but seeing this situation, they all chose to stay and watch the fun.

Yang Dongxiong flipped out a thick leather box in the secret room and took out five items: a small bowl with a large red rooster painted on it, a thick legal book, a small square tripod of ancient bronze color, a small bulging bag, and a large pitch-black paper.

Yang Shi handed out the small red rooster bowl: "Come, a little blood, not too much, use your left hand."

Liang Qu pulled out the Blue Wolf, carefully cut the edge of his palm, and after dripping dozens of drops, it was taken away by Yang Shi.

Yang Shi placed the small square tripod on the table, opened the small bag, and poured in a layer of black ash, spreading it finely to a finger-thick layer.

"Press your right handprint, don't shake, press straight down, the clearer the better."

Liang Qu followed the suggestion and pressed his palm straight into the tripod. He didn't know if it was the difference in ash, but when he took it out, not a bit of ash stuck to his hand, and the palm print underneath was very clear, and the palm lines could be seen.

Yang Dongxiong confirmed it was correct, let the blood in the rooster bowl stand for a while, the bloody smell in the air gradually dissipated, replaced by a unique misty fragrance, and he poured the blood on the large black leather paper.

The blood magically did not show tension, but spread out quietly like a large circle, extremely thin and extremely large.

Yang Dongxiong took the opportunity to buckle the incense ash in the small tripod on it, printing it on the blood surface without any difference. The place where the palm was pressed in the middle collapsed, and the palm shape could be faintly seen.

Then Yang Dongxiong tapped the table with his knuckles.

The black ash reflected on it gradually trembled, drifting out along the blood, and the line patterns on the left side of the black ash could be clearly seen.

"Junior brother really has a destiny!" Xiang Zhangsong said joyfully.

Positive seal, negative seal, not everyone has them. Most people's two positions are empty!

Being able to have them, no matter what is revealed, proves that at least this person will have some achievements!

Even if it is a negative seal!

A moment later, Xu Zishuai stretched his neck to look, puzzled: "Is the seal image a river?"

The lines were very simple, just a winding, tortuous thick line.

"It's not over yet."

Yang Dongxiong said in a deep voice.

The crowd looked intently, and it was really so. Accompanied by Yang Shi's tapping, black ash also gradually emerged from the right side of the palm, slowly outlining a strange figure.

Xu Zishuai frowned for a long time: "Is the negative seal an ape?"

"Junior brother actually has both positive and negative seals gathered?!"

"Is the positive seal a river, and the negative seal fierce beast an ape?"

"No, it's reversed. The direction Master just tapped was east, so this side is left, and that side is right. In Liang Shidi's destiny, the negative seal is a river, and the positive seal is an ape."

"Impossible, why would the negative seal be a dead object? Shouldn't they all be fierce gods?"

"It's not that there isn't one. I remember a Perfected Form old general whose negative seal was a sunset, and he died under the sunset afterward."

A group of senior brothers argued, worrying about whether Liang Qu's positive and negative seals were reversed.

Second Cao Shixiong Yu Dun suddenly said: "Is it possible that this negative seal is not a river, but a dragon?"

"A dragon?"

The crowd looked intently again, and faintly, they actually saw something strange at the end of the "river," as if it were a horned dragon head!?

"Is it really a dragon?"

Yang Dongxiong fell silent. This method of measuring destiny was learned from an old Daoist priest when he was young. It might not be very accurate, but it wouldn't make a big mistake, and it was more than enough to measure for disciples.

So this positive and negative seal should be correct, but it was a style he had never seen before.

The black ash soon spread other patterns on the front and back sides, and he flipped out the book and compared them one by one.

The rest of the people were all quiet, waiting for the Master to give the answer.

A moment later, Yang Dongxiong plucked out a few beard hairs.

"Fierce, great fierce!" ===== CHAPTER 91 =====
