Chapter 2820: Waiting for this day!

~7 min read 1,397 words

Seeing Lin Wan'er's shocked expression and her rare nervousness in speaking, Ye Chen asked quickly, "Miss Lin, what do you say this looks more like?!"

Lin Wan'er didn't speak, her eyes fixed on the dark clouds rapidly gathering in the sky, muttering to herself, "This... these dark clouds seem chaotic, but there is a faint complex pattern... it feels... it feels like the image of the Zhen hexagram in the I Ching's sixty-four hexagrams..."

"Zhen hexagram?!" Ye Chen was shocked and couldn't help but exclaim, "Are these clouds really a hexagram?"

Lin Wan'er nodded and muttered, "The Zhen hexagram has always been complex. The ancients said, 'Zhen comes with fear, laughing and talking; Zhen shocks a hundred miles, without losing the sacrificial wine.' Once this hexagram appears, it means the main hexagram and the guest hexagram overlap, implying that something sudden has happened, and it must be a world-shaking event!"

Ye Chen was even more surprised and couldn't help asking, "What kind of person has this ability to use the clouds in the sky to calculate a hexagram?!"

Lin Wan'er looked blank, "I don't know either... but... but this hexagram just started, it started the moment we arrived here. I think this shouldn't be man-made."

"Not man-made..." Ye Chen asked her, "If it's not man-made, then could it be naturally formed?!"

Lin Wan'er shook her head, "I haven't penetrated the mystery yet..."

Just as she was speaking, the dark clouds in the sky were still changing rapidly. The thick cloud layer seemed to be like an inexhaustible water well in the sky, inexplicably gushing out from the middle, rapidly covering the entire valley where the Heavenly Pool was located.

Lin Wan'er frowned, opened her eyes wide and stared at the sky, muttering to herself in a low voice, "The hexagram is changing too fast... I... I don't understand... what exactly do you want to tell me? Can you give me a clearer hint?"

The dark clouds in the sky couldn't understand her muttering, but continued to change without stopping for a moment.

Lin Wan'er was already a little anxious. She said anxiously, "The Zhen hexagram has too many variables, each one takes a long time to penetrate. Such rapid changes, in the blink of an eye, it's another hexagram, I... I really can't see through it..."

Hearing this, Ye Chen quickly took out his mobile phone to open the video recording, saying, "Miss Lin, don't worry first, I will record all these changes, if it really doesn't work, we can slowly penetrate it after going back."

Lin Wan'er shook her head and said, "The hexagram changes repeatedly, and everything is framed in the situation of the Zhen hexagram. This indicates that the main hexagram and the guest hexagram are mutually restrained and trapped in it... No matter who released this hexagram, they are asking us for help... and, there is a familiar feeling that I can't describe..."

"Asking for help?" Ye Chen frowned, "You and I just arrived here, who would suddenly ask us for help?"

Lin Wan'er muttered, "It's not a person... there is no person in the hexagram..."

Ye Chen rubbed his temples, "I'm almost confused by you, there is no person, then what is asking us for help?"

Lin Wan'er stared at the ever-changing dark clouds and said in a low voice, "I haven't thought of it yet... it's not a person, who could it be, or... what could it be... just... just"

Speaking of this, she suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! I know!"

Ye Chen asked quickly, "What do you know?"

Lin Wan'er's tears burst out instantly. She pointed to the bare ground under her feet, extremely excited and extremely nervous, and said, "I know who is asking for help! It's her! It's the Mother of Pu Tea!"

Ye Chen was even more confused when he heard this answer, "Didn't the Mother of Pu Tea fail the tribulation three hundred years ago? How can she ask us for help now?! And... and she is just a tree, can she move the dark clouds in the sky to ask us for help?!"

Lin Wan'er muttered, "I don't know the reason for your doubts, but I can feel it, that familiar feeling is the Mother of Pu Tea..."

Ye Chen said, "Okay, assuming you are right, it is indeed the Mother of Pu Tea asking us for help through the clouds, but what exactly does she need us to do? How can we help her?"

Lin Wan'er was also a little anxious, "I don't know... I can only see that she is asking for help. The feeling that this ever-changing hexagram gives me seems to be that she is trapped in this Zhen hexagram and cannot break free, but it doesn't tell me what I should do to help her break free..."

At this time, the dark clouds had become thicker and thicker, and the huge dark clouds began to condense into a group and began to sink slowly.

The air was already full of humid water vapor, and the air pressure seemed to start to drop rapidly, making people's breathing become a little dull, just like the feeling before a super strong thunderstorm in summer.

Lin Wan'er had no cultivation, and at this time, her breathing felt a little blocked, and her expression became more and more anxious. She rarely lost her composure and kept stomping her feet on the spot, saying anxiously, "The hexagram is becoming more and more dangerous, the main hexagram has begun to show signs of being swallowed by the guest hexagram. If we can't think of a countermeasure, maybe we can never save her again... what to do... what exactly to do..."

Ye Chen was even more confused. He couldn't even penetrate the hexagram that Lin Wan'er couldn't penetrate, so seeing Lin Wan'er anxious, he could only stand on the spot and worry in vain.

The dark clouds were still thickening and sinking, forming a strong low-pressure area above the entire Heavenly Pool. Lin Wan'er already felt that her breathing was a little blocked. She could only take deep breaths while constantly turning her brain to think about the problems in it.

Ye Chen couldn't understand the hexagram, but he analyzed it rationally and said, "Miss Lin, if she is really asking us for help, then at least it must be within our reach. You and I have four fists and four hands, where can we help her? Could it be that we want to help her disperse these dark clouds? We can't do it either!"

Lin Wan'er nodded and said anxiously, "You are right... if we need to disperse these dark clouds, we really have no way... you have great supernatural powers and can attract heavenly thunder, but heavenly thunder should only be effective against physical objects. Dark clouds are originally a companion product of thunder and lightning. It and thunder and lightning are more like the relationship between water and fish. It will definitely not be afraid of thunder and lightning... then what else can we do?"

Ye Chen's eyes lit up when she said this, and he blurted out, "I understand!"

Lin Wan'er asked quickly, "What did you discover?!"

Ye Chen asked her, "Miss Lin, did you notice that with such thick dark clouds and such strong low pressure, is there something missing?"

Lin Wan'er suddenly widened her eyes and blurted out, "Missing thunder and lightning!"

"Yes!" Ye Chen nodded heavily, "If it were normal, such heavy dark clouds would have already had thunder and lightning. But although this dark cloud is very thick, there is no trace of thunder and lightning. My Soul-Piercing Blade was destroyed when the Earl of Changsheng blew himself up last time. At present, the only magic weapon that can be released from a long distance is the newly refined Thunder Command. It just so happens that this dark cloud lacks thunder and lightning, so I might as well give it some thunder and lightning to try!"

Lin Wan'er said happily, "Was the Thunder Command you re-refined made from the thunder-struck wood you gave me?"

"Yes!"

Lin Wan'er was even more excited, clenched her fists and said excitedly, "That thunder-struck wood is the remnant branch of the Mother of Pu Tea! Maybe she hasn't vanished in the three hundred years since she failed the tribulation. What she has been waiting for is today!"
