Chapter 436: Pre-Heaven Bagua and Post-Heaven Bagua

"Are the locations of these ghosts based on the Pre-Heaven Bagua, arranged with the Kun position as the core?"

"The Pre-Heaven Bagua encompasses all phenomena in the world. Using ghosts to represent the scenes of all phenomena—look, this position is a drowned ghost; drowned ghosts die in water, representing water. This position is a wronged ghost, buried in the earth, representing earth. This position is a lust ghost; lust ghosts are the embodiment of lust, representing fire. This position is a painted-skin ghost... hmm, it should be just to make up the numbers."

"Wrong. I see this array as having signs of the Post-Heaven Bagua; it should be arranged according to the principles of the Post-Heaven Bagua. The array eye is in the Zhen position."

"How did you all learn arrays? Could it be that the nodes of the array are only ghosts? Can't buildings be used as array nodes?"

"Look, one side of Hanshui City is the Yin Corpse Mountain Range of the Corpse-Driving Sect, a symbol of extreme Yin. The other side is a prosperous area like brothels, with heavy human energy, a symbol of extreme Yang. With the Provincial Governor's residence as the center, Yin and Yang are balanced, promoting the prosperity of Hanshui City. This was the original intention when Hanshui City was built."

"Now someone has placed fierce ghosts in Hanshui City, breaking the balance of Yin and Yang. Can't you understand such a simple truth?"

"Bullshit theory! The rumor of Yin-Yang balance in Hanshui City has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and people still believe it!"

"It's not that I believe it; I call this rational analysis!"

"What rational analysis? We are all cultivators; the strong are respected. If you have the ability, let's see the real deal!"

The array masters were arguing noisily, getting more and more anxious, and were about to make a move.

Lu Yang wanted to step forward to stop them, but his words were light, and he couldn't stop this bunch of old pedants.

Actually, there was a way to stop old pedants from arguing: just say you were a disciple of Daoist Bu Yu. Lu Yang believed the focus of the old pedants would soon shift from the array to himself.

It's just that the danger coefficient of this method was too high; even the Fairy couldn't protect him.

Although even if the danger coefficient wasn't high, the Fairy couldn't protect him either.

"Masters, may I ask how the array research is going?" Provincial Governor Lü came out of the stone secret room and headed straight here, concerned about the progress of the masters.

Qiu Jinan and Meng Jingzhou had expressions of relief, feeling that the world had opened up.

"Don't worry, I said I would pass on a secret technique of this sect to you. When things are over, I will teach you!"

When Qiu Jinan controlled Meng Jingzhou to punch Old Man Ba, he had promised to pass on secret techniques to Meng Jingzhou.

He had always kept his word.

"Is it all right?" Lu Yang asked knowingly, unable to expose the fact that he had peeped.

"Is Brother Meng's curse lifted?" Seeing Man Gu was genuinely concerned about Meng Jingzhou, and Zhao Po followed behind, also very concerned about Meng Jingzhou's situation.

"It's all right, it's all right. After so long, it's finally settled. This young master is free again!"

"If it were according to my method, the curse would have been lifted long ago by committing suicide once." The Decayed Fairy muttered. The efficiency of lifting the curse this way was too low.

"How was Brother Meng's curse lifted again?" Seeing Man Gu suddenly asked, a bit dazed, feeling that he remembered it just now, but now he had forgotten.

Zhao Po was in the same situation.

This was the Immortal characteristic at work.

Meng Jingzhou laughed it off and didn't answer.

Otherwise, it was very likely that after answering once, Seeing Man Gu would ask again in half a quarter of an hour, answer again, ask again—it would be endless.

"It's a pity the Senior Sister isn't here, otherwise we wouldn't have had to run to Huangzhou." Meng Jingzhou missed the days when the Senior Sister was around very much.

Qiu Jinan was surprised, not understanding why Meng Jingzhou would ask this: "You mean Yun Zhi? She is at the Congwendao Sect. When I went to inquire where you two had gone, I even saw her."

"When did the Senior Sister return to the sect?"

"The second day after you set off for Huangzhou."

Meng Jingzhou: "..."

Lu Yang: "..."

"You said you were in such a hurry to come to Huangzhou, why!" Lu Yang took the lead in attacking, preempting him.

"What do you mean I was in a hurry to come to Huangzhou? How would I know the Senior Sister would return so quickly? Instead, it's you, following the Senior Sister every day, how come you didn't even know where the Senior Sister went!" Meng Jingzhou skillfully pushed the responsibility to Lu Yang.

"Who dares to inquire about the Senior Sister's whereabouts? Do you dare!"

"I don't dare!" Meng Jingzhou said righteously.

"If you two want to ask what Yun Zhi went to do, I do know that." Qiu Jinan said.

"She went to handle the prison release procedures for that old scoundrel Bu Yu."

Meng Jingzhou: "..."

Lu Yang: "..."

"Did the Sect Master commit a crime and get thrown in again?" Seeing Man Gu was very surprised.

Provincial Governor Lü was listening to the opinions of the array masters.

"Listen to me, the principle of this array must be the Pre-Heaven Bagua!"

"What Pre-Heaven Bagua? This is clearly the Post-Heaven Bagua!"

Qiu Jinan sighed, feeling quite a headache: "It's the dispute between the Pre-Heaven Bagua and the Post-Heaven Bagua again. Troublesome matter."

"The dispute between the Pre-Heaven Bagua and the Post-Heaven Bagua?" Lu Yang and the others had never heard of this dispute.

"This involves profound theories of arrays. It's normal that you haven't heard of it."

"The Pre-Heaven Bagua and the Post-Heaven Bagua originated in the ancient era. It is rumored that this was obtained by an ancient Immortal who looked up at the astronomy and looked down at the geography. It must conform to the laws of heaven and earth."

"This ancient Immortal proposed the Bagua theory, but the ancient civilization was lost too severely. What has been passed down to the present is only the Pre-Heaven Bagua and the Post-Heaven Bagua, which leads to the two sides often arguing about who is the orthodox one."

"If the Bagua theory could be completed, this dispute between Pre-Heaven and Post-Heaven would cease."

"Bagua theory, huh? I know this." The Decayed Fairy once again showed her rich experience. Many major events in ancient legends were things she had personally experienced or was the mastermind behind.

"You know?"

"What are you saying? What does this Fairy not know? The birth of this set of Bagua theory is closely related to me."

"Is this a theory proposed by you, Fairy?" Lu Yang was amazed, suddenly feeling that the Decayed Fairy was much smarter.

The Decayed Fairy waved her hand, not taking credit: "That's not quite it. This is a theory deduced by the Time Immortal. When he was deducing it, I was on the side waving flags and shouting, cheering him on."

Lu Yang thought to himself, was there also a punishment link? If the Time Immortal couldn't deduce it within the specified time, would he be your meal?

The Decayed Fairy didn't know Lu Yang was complaining and continued to recall the experience at that time: "He looked up and counted the stars, squatted on the ground and looked at the mud, then pinched his fingers and calculated, and came up with a set of theories."

"According to his statement, this set of Bagua theory of his encompasses all phenomena in the world and can be used as the basis for arrays. Arrays arranged using Bagua theory are profound and unpredictable. It is very difficult for cultivators of the same level to deduce the method to break them. It is a top-notch array theory!"

"The complete Bagua theory is divided into four parts, which are the Pre-Heaven Bagua, Today's Bagua, Tomorrow's Bagua, and the Post-Heaven Bagua. I don't know how it was passed down, but now only the Pre-Heaven Bagua and the Post-Heaven Bagua remain."
