Chapter 797: Heaven Knows Good and Evil, Heavenly Dao Cycles

This time coming to Yan Jing, Ye Chen did bring more than one Rejuvenation Pill.

Although he was sure that one Rejuvenation Pill could cure Gu Yanzhong, he brought two or three more just in case, to prevent any accidents.

Looking at it this way, the only door of life left in the dead end in the hexagram the old man divined for himself should be the Rejuvenation Pill on him.

At the same time, he couldn't help but ponder the old man's words just now.

It seems that when he got married to Xiao Churan in Jin Ling, the situation of the dragon trapped in the shallow beach had already formed.

The old man just said that the reason why he was trapped in the shallow beach was because he got married by the river. Jin Ling is located by the Yangtze River, which just corresponds to it.

Moreover, his fate has always been bumpy, and it wasn't until last spring that Tang Sihai suddenly appeared, bringing him a turning point.

However, the greatest opportunity in his life was not being found by the Ye family again, but accidentally getting the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra". That time also happened to be last spring.

It can be seen that the cause and effect of the whole thing is first that he was trapped in the shallow beach, so that the entire Ye family was also unlucky.

And later, the Ye family found this old man, trying to let him help solve the trouble.

The old man divined a hexagram for himself, seeing that there was an opportunity in the east that could increase his life by ten years, so he traveled thousands of miles back to the motherland to solve the predicament for the Ye family, and at the same time waited for the opportunity that belonged to him.

He spent four years finding Mount Ye Ling, setting up a geomantic array on Mount Ye Ling, and after breaking the situation of his dragon trapped in the shallow beach, the Ye family survived the crisis, and he benefited a lot.

And he has also been waiting for his appearance, because he is the door of life in his hexagram.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen bowed slightly to the old man, "Old gentleman, thank you for everything you have done. The younger generation has indeed benefited a lot! Please accept a bow from the younger generation!"

The old man hurriedly stepped forward to block, and said in a very humble attitude, "What virtue and ability do I have, I dare not accept such a great gift from you!"

Ye Chen insisted, "It should be! If it weren't for you, I might still be trapped in the shallow beach now!"

The old man shook his head, "In a person's fate, the dragon grid is the supreme existence, so a dragon trapped in a shallow beach is a predicament, not a dead end. A shallow beach can trap a dragon, but it cannot trap a dragon to death. Therefore, when the predicament is broken is just a matter of time. If I don't come to break this situation, someone else will come to break this situation!"

Speaking of this, he said with incomparable emotion, "Heaven knows good and evil, and the heavenly dao cycles. No matter who breaks your predicament, it is a great merit, and the heavenly dao will definitely give him enough reward."

Subsequently, the old man looked at Ye Chen, smiled slightly, and said, "The hexagram says that if I help you get out of trouble, I will get ten years of life. Perhaps these ten years of life have already been added to me by the judge of the King of Hell in the Book of Life and Death! So, I should thank you!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said to the old man, "Old gentleman, I believe in geomancy, fate, and heavenly dao, but I don't believe in ghosts and gods. In this world, there will be no King of Hell, nor any Book of Life and Death."

The old man nodded noncommittally and smiled, "Hey, this heavenly dao is mysterious, it's not something I can understand. To tell you the truth, I still don't know where the door of life in the hexagram is."

Ye Chen nodded, took out a Rejuvenation Pill from the inner pocket of his jacket, handed it to him, and said seriously, "Old gentleman, this should be your door of life!"

The old man trembled all over, looked at Ye Chen as if struck by lightning, and then looked at the Rejuvenation Pill in his hand, exclaiming, "This... this is?"

Ye Chen said seriously, "You helped me, and naturally I should help you. If you take this medicine, it should be no problem to increase your life by ten years."

Although the old man didn't know what the Rejuvenation Pill was at all, he nodded excitedly again and again.

Immediately, he dropped his cane, knelt on the ground tremblingly, and held his hands above his head.

Ye Chen put the Rejuvenation Pill in his hand, then helped him up, and said, "Old gentleman, take it now. At your age, after taking it, there shouldn't be any effect from the appearance, but the real effect, people with great wisdom like you should be able to feel it."

The old man was incomparably grateful and blurted out, "Thank you, Young Master Ye!"

After speaking, he didn't hesitate anymore and put the Rejuvenation Pill into his mouth.

Subsequently, the old man closed his eyes and remained motionless for about a minute.

After a minute, he opened his eyes, looked at Ye Chen with tears in his eyes, knelt down again, and choked, "Young Master Ye, this medicine is truly a divine medicine! I thank you for your life-saving grace!"

Ye Chen hurriedly said, "Old gentleman, you are an elder, why be so polite."

The old man said seriously, "From the perspective of fate, you are the dragon grid, and I am the python grid. At any time, when a python sees a dragon, it must bow down. Even a python with a thousand years of cultivation, when it meets a newly born young dragon, it must bow down! Just now, there were too many people, and I was afraid that your identity would be leaked, so I couldn't pay homage to you for the first time. I hope you can forgive me!"

Ye Chen waved his hand with a smile, "These are just some sayings, you don't have to take it to heart."

The old man said very seriously, "The more people who believe in fate, the more they must follow the heavenly dao and act according to the heaven. If I see you and don't bow, it is a great disrespect! If there is such a thing, the heavenly dao will definitely record it for me!"

Seeing that the old man's attitude was firm, Ye Chen didn't force it anymore, but asked, "Old gentleman, the younger generation doesn't know your name yet, I wonder if it's convenient to reveal it?"

The old man immediately arched his hands and said with full respect, "Young Master Ye, my surname is Lai, and my name is Lai Qinghua. I am a direct descendant of the Song Dynasty geomantic master Lai Buyi."

Ye Chen suddenly realized and said admiringly, "I didn't expect the old gentleman to be a descendant of a famous family. No wonder you have such profound attainments in the I Ching and Eight Trigrams!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen couldn't help but think of the fake geomantic master who deceived Song Wanting back then. He also claimed to be a descendant of Lai Buyi, but he didn't have any real skills.

But the old man in front of him could use the art of divination to perfection, and even if he was far away in the United States, he could deduce so many key problems. He is indeed a master rarely seen.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen asked again, "Old gentleman, why have you been living in the United States?"

Lai Qinghua smiled bitterly and said, "During the War of Resistance, my father was concerned about the motherland and divined the biggest hexagram of his life. Although he calculated that China would never perish, he also calculated that the Lai family would have a disaster of extermination. So he sacrificed his own life to break the situation and save the lives of others in our family, but the premise was that our family must travel across the ocean..."

"So in 1938, I buried my father thickly, took my mother, younger brother and sister who were not yet adults, and traveled to the United States. Later, I started a family and career there. I also thought about moving the whole family back, but because I have lived there for many years, my family, career, opportunities, and grievances are all involved, and I can't toss anymore, so I have been living there."

Ye Chen nodded and asked him, "What are your plans next?"

Lai Qinghua looked at the thousands of mountains and smiled, "My descendants are all in the United States, and they have many concerns about me. Since I have obtained the opportunity of ten years of life from you, I will seal the hexagram and go back to enjoy my old age!" ===== CHAPTER 798 =====
