Chapter 2449: Near-Divine Divination

Putting away the ring, Ye Chen continued to drive forward.

And he also silently reviewed the events of the day in his heart.

The eight Cavalry Guards didn't have anything special about them, but that girl named Lin Wan'er always gave Ye Chen a hazy sense of mystery.

Although he had used psychological suggestion on Lin Wan'er, and the content Lin Wan'er said didn't have any loopholes, Ye Chen still vaguely felt that something was not quite right.

However, thinking back and forth, he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

At this moment, a scene suddenly flashed through his mind.

It was the desk in front of Lin Wan'er at that time.

On that desk, nine copper coins were placed.

And those nine copper coins seemed to be a complex divination hexagram.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen suddenly thought of the content in the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra" regarding the I Ching, Eight Trigrams, and divination.

Among them, in the Six-Line Eight-Trigram theory, there is a method of using three copper coins to perform divination.

Therefore, Ye Chen could understand three copper coins, but with nine, he was a bit stumped.

After all, this was something not even recorded in the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take out his phone and call Lai Qinghua, a Feng Shui master far away in the United States.

Lai Qinghua was the person Ye Chen knew who was the most proficient in the I Ching and Eight Trigrams, so Ye Chen intended to ask him what kind of method nine-coin divination was.

Soon, the call went through.

Due to the time difference, Lai Qinghua, who was in Los Angeles, had just finished dinner.

Receiving Ye Chen's call, he said respectfully and excitedly: "Young Master Ye!"

Ye Chen said politely: "Old Master Lai, excuse the intrusion, there is something I would like to ask you."

Lai Qinghua hurriedly said: "Young Master Ye, I dare not accept the word 'ask'. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me at any time!"

Ye Chen didn't stand on ceremony anymore and went straight to the point: "Old Master Lai, you have been performing divination for many years; have you ever seen anyone use nine copper coins to calculate a hexagram?"

"Nine copper coins?" Lai Qinghua exclaimed: "If it is the Six-Line Eight-Trigram method, then even with three copper coins, it contains a vast amount of information. If one wants to quickly and accurately see the hexagram, it requires strong memory and talent for mental calculation. If using nine copper coins, then every three copper coins form a group; this is three sets of hexagrams, and each of the three sets of hexagrams is a whole, which can form a deeper and more detailed hexagram..."

"Therefore, if using nine copper coins, it means calculating the hexagram by dividing it into four sets of hexagrams. This amount of calculation is equivalent to increasing the difficulty of guessing a 2-digit password to a 12-digit one. This technique belongs to the top level in the I Ching and Eight Trigrams. It has a nickname called 'Near-Divine Divination', meaning that those who can calculate this kind of hexagram have reached a level of mastery in the I Ching and Eight Trigrams that can be called supernatural."

Speaking of this, Lai Qinghua sighed again: "However, Near-Divine Divination has long been lost to history. I only heard my grandfather mention it when I was very young, but I have never seen anyone who could truly do it."

Ye Chen asked suspiciously: "But I saw someone use nine copper coins to set up a hexagram, and that hexagram didn't look like it was thrown randomly. Does that person really have such ability?"

"This..." Lai Qinghua said: "I haven't seen the hexagram you mentioned, so I can't confirm whether that person truly has the ability. However, based on my experience, it is indeed unlikely; coincidence is more probable."

Hearing this, Ye Chen felt even more strange in his heart.

That Lin Wan'er, the ring given by that Lin Wan'er, and the hexagram set up by that Lin Wan'er, all seemed to be a bit off.

But if according to Lai Qinghua's words, a girl like her shouldn't be able to master Near-Divine Divination, which wasn't even recorded in the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly ponder in his heart: "I don't know what the background of that Lin Wan'er and her parents and grandfather is? If there is a chance to see her again in the future, I must find a way to investigate it clearly!"

Thinking of this, he said to Lai Qinghua: "Thank you, Old Master Lai, I will ponder it myself."

When Ye Chen arrived at the palace, the sky was already beginning to brighten.

Bergen Airport also began its busy day.

Whether it was passenger or cargo, all work was proceeding in an orderly manner. No one realized that right here in this airport, eight of their colleagues had lost their lives.

Those eight stevedores were originally on the night shift and worked one day and rested one day. They had worked until the early hours of today and would rest until tomorrow afternoon before coming to work again. So, no one would be suspicious about not seeing these eight people here.

As for the families of these eight people, when they were alive, they had already greeted them, claiming that they had some urgent matters to attend to and would be home late, so the families didn't notice anything unusual.

And at this very moment, in a farm on the southern outskirts of Bergen, multiple corpses lay in the house, having long since lost their breath.

A sign was hung outside the farm gate, with a line written in English: This property is currently for sale.

In such a place, not many people would pass by, and once someone passed by and saw this sign, they wouldn't have any interest in this farm anymore.

If the mysterious organization didn't send anyone to investigate, then waiting for this place to be exposed would at least take until these corpses were severely decomposed and the smell spread for hundreds of meters.

But that would take at least five to seven days or more.

Therefore, this would win Lin Wan'er enough time to escape Northern Europe.

The seven Cavalry Guards, after traveling through the night, also arrived at the highest peak of Oslo after sunrise.

It was a bit embarrassing to say, but the highest peak of Oslo was not even five hundred meters above sea level.

Wan Pojun successfully incorporated these people and temporarily hid them in Oslo, waiting for Ye Chen's next instructions.

As for Ye Chen.

After returning to the palace, he felt exceptionally depressed.

After all, he had spent a Soul-Nourishing Pill on that ring, and he couldn't say he hadn't heard a sound; he could only say he really only heard a few sounds.

Although Ye Chen was not a stingy person, the Soul-Nourishing Pill was truly precious, so wasting it like this really made his heart ache the more he thought about it.

To wait for Ye Chen's return, Helena hadn't slept all night.

In her mind, she couldn't stop thinking about the conversation with her grandmother, and her mind was very chaotic.

She knew that for her current situation, the best result was to get pregnant with Ye Chen's child as soon as possible.

However, she also knew that Ye Chen was not only married but also had countless pursuers around him, and Ye Chen didn't have any feelings for her at all.

In this situation, how could she make Ye Chen willingly have something happen with her?

Therefore, every time she thought of this, Helena wanted to give up this unrealistic idea several times.

However, thinking of the current situation of herself and the entire Nordic royal family, she really couldn't think of any better solution.

Moreover, Helena knew very well that her grandmother hadn't been completely open with her before. Her grandmother had been saying that if she didn't have any heirs, she might have to borrow a king or queen from another European royal family in the future.

But Helena knew in her heart that once she truly had no heirs, after she died, the Nordic government and the Nordic people would definitely invite her cousin Olivia's line back to inherit the throne.

If Olivia had children, then her children would most likely become the Nordic king or queen in the future.

In that case, the throne would return to Olivia and her descendants.

This was absolutely something Helena would rather die than see.

She had finally managed to get the position of queen from Olivia with Ye Chen's help. If the throne were to be snatched back by Olivia's descendants after she died, she would rather let the entire Nordic royal family completely exit the stage of history.

Chaotic thoughts and the tangled reality made Helena physically and mentally exhausted.

She even regretted returning from Huaxia and regretted ascending the throne of the queen.

If she had chosen to stay in Huaxia at that time, perhaps she could have been closer to Ye Chen, and she wouldn't have to worry about royal affairs.

Whether she was queen or not actually had an inseparable connection with Ye Chen. Helena had long realized that what she was attached to was not this queen's position, but the feeling of Ye Chen standing in front of her, wielding his sword to clear the way for her.

Just then, Helena heard the sound of an engine approaching from afar.

She hurriedly got up and went to the window, seeing that it was the car Ye Chen was driving returning to the palace, she immediately rushed out of the door and walked quickly downstairs.

When she arrived downstairs, Ye Chen had just parked the car steadily.

Seeing Ye Chen get out of the car, Helena hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Mr. Ye, why have you been out for so long... I have been very worried..."

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Things were a bit more complicated than I imagined, but fortunately, everything was resolved smoothly."

Helena breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked again: "Mr. Ye, you haven't eaten after being out for so long, you must be hungry, right? I'll have the chef prepare breakfast for you!"

Ye Chen shook his head with a tired look and said casually: "I have no appetite to eat, please arrange a room for me and let me catch up on some sleep first!" ===== CHAPTER 2450 =====
