Chapter 1563: 2 Instruments and 4 Symbols
When Jun Wen was speechless, Feng Xi said:
"Fifth Brother, you need to learn more from me about mentality.
Look, you have reached the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, while I am still stuck at the seventh level. However, I am not in a hurry at all.
Even though I have the lowest cultivation level in the Tianyan Dao Sect, so what? !
Being low now doesn’t mean it will always be this low. We will surpass them sooner or later.
Just like we were standing on the mountain gate before and they could only look up at us, we will reach a height that is beyond their reach!"
It must be said that Fengxi's chicken soup was fragrant and rich. Jun Wen was immediately excited and went back to practice excitedly.
As soon as he left, Fengxi asked Commander Liu:
"Master, I have been practicing hard these days, why haven't I advanced yet?"
Commander Liu: “…”
Aren't you in no hurry?!
Feng Xi didn't expect to get an answer from Commander Liu, so after he finished speaking, he started practicing.
In a blink of an eye, there is only half a month left before the inner gate assessment.
Elder Bai is very conflicted.
On the one hand, he was pleased to see Fengxi and Junwen practicing diligently, but on the other hand, he was worried that they would not be able to pass the selection for inner disciples if they practiced so hard.
Fortunately, the old charlatan Elder Gu Liang and Li Ze are both in seclusion, and they may not come out during the inner sect selection. By then, if he can persuade them again, maybe the Liu brothers and sisters will change their minds.
However, he soon lost the mood to think about these things, as people from Xingyao Gate arrived.
Although Sect Leader Di didn't like the people from Xingyao Sect, since they were guests from afar, he still asked Elder Bai and others to invite the people from Xingyao Sect into the meeting hall.
The leader of Xingyao Sect this time is Palace Master Cao of Ziwei Palace.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Palace Master Cao asked with a smile:
"Sect Master Di, why don't you see Elder Gu Liang?
It is said that his art of turtle evolution has reached great perfection, and my art of astrology has also improved, so I would like to learn from him."
Sect Leader Di smiled and said, "Elder Gu Liang has been in seclusion for a while now. It will probably take some time before he can come out."
A disciple standing behind Palace Master Cao curled his lips:
"Why did you choose to retreat at this time, instead of earlier or later? Could it be that you heard that my master is coming and hid yourself?!"
Palace Master Cao scolded in a fake tone:
"Nonsense! How can a junior like you have the right to speak here?!"
After that, he said to Master Di:
"Master Di, my disciple lacks manners, I will definitely discipline him when I return.
However, it is indeed a pity that I cannot spar with Elder Gu Liang this time.
Fortunately, in addition to wanting to exchange ideas with Elder Gu Liang, I also came here for an important matter.
At first, the Two-Yin-and-Four-Xiang Stele was one and the same. The Two-Yin-and-Four-Xiang Stele was taken away by your Tianyan Dao Sect, while the Four-Xiang Stele was left in our Xingyao Sect..."
As soon as he said this, Elder Fang sneered:
"Palace Master Cao, did you remember it wrong?
"The Liang Yi Si Xiang Stele originally belonged to our Tian Yan Dao Sect. It was you, the Xing Yao Sect, who used dishonorable means to steal the Si Xiang Stele!"
Several people around Palace Master Cao wanted to speak, but were stopped by Palace Master Cao.
"Elder Fang, please don't say such harsh words. Opportunities are meant to be obtained by those who are destined to have them. Since the Four Symbols Monument has landed in our Xingyao Sect, it means that it is destined to be with us.
To be honest, we have already comprehended some of the mysteries of the Four Symbols Monument. I wonder if you have made any progress on the Two Principles Monument?"
Elder Fang's heart trembled.
The patterns on the Liang Yi Monument are disorganized, and no one has been able to figure out the mystery behind them for all these years.
But of course I couldn't show my weakness in this kind of situation, so I said calmly:
"I have made some discoveries, but they are nothing to write home about."
Palace Master Cao smiled meaningfully:
"That's really cause for celebration! I won't beat around the bush, I'll just get straight to the point!
I came here this time to make a deal with your clan. We plan to exchange the rubbings of the Four Symbols Stele for the rubbings of the Two Principles Stele. What do you think?"
Hearing this, there was a commotion in the hall.
To be honest, the Tianyan Taoist Sect has always been obsessed with the Four Symbols Stele. After all, the Liangyi Four Symbols Stele was originally one and the same, but was later taken away by the Xingyao Sect.
The key point is that there are very few records about the Four Symbols Stele in the sect's scriptures, and there is no trace to be found.
Now that Xingyao Sect has proposed this exchange condition, it would be a lie to say that we are not tempted. However, Xingyao Sect is so sinister and cunning in its actions, so how credible is this?
Perhaps guessing what everyone was thinking, Palace Master Cao said:
“In addition to the rubbings, we can also provide a video recorded on the photo stone as supporting evidence.
Of course, as an equal exchange, you also have to provide rubbings and images of the Liang Yi Stele.
We are sincere this time, please weigh it carefully."
Sect Leader Di thought for a moment and said:
“This is a serious matter and it is difficult to make a decision in a short period of time.
How about this, please stay in the guesthouse for a while, and we will give you an answer after we have discussed everything, how about that? "
Palace Master Cao nodded: "Alright, then wait for good news."
Sect Leader Di immediately asked someone to accompany Palace Leader Cao and the others to the guest house to rest, and then discussed the matter with everyone.
"Master, Xingyao Sect has always been untrustworthy and has gone back on its word. I think this is definitely a fraud. Dealing with them is like trying to get the skin of a tiger. Don't agree to it."
"That's not the case. Although Xingyao Sect has no credibility, they have both the rubbings and the image on the photo stone. They shouldn't be able to do anything."
"That's not necessarily true. Didn't Elder Bai 'pick' the Liu brothers and sisters out of the outer mountain gate before?!"
"It was scraped off, but we can still see some traces. As long as we are more careful, we will definitely be able to find the flaws."
……
For a while, the quarrel became intense.
Sect Leader Di actually missed his unreliable junior brother a little at this moment!
If Elder Gu Liang had not been in seclusion, he could have told us his fortune. No matter if he was accurate or not, at least it would have some psychological effect.
He looked at Elder Fang, who had been silent the whole time, and said, "Elder Fang, what do you think?"
Elder Fang is in charge of the Forest of Steles, and Sect Leader Di still values his opinion more.
Elder Fang said:
“Sect Master, even if there are problems with the photo stones and rubbings provided by Xingyao Sect, at least most of the patterns should be real, and they may be helpful for us to comprehend the Liangyi Stele.
This deal is a bit risky, but I think it’s worth it.”
After weighing the pros and cons, Sect Leader Di said:
"In that case, let's change! Elder Fang, you will be responsible for this matter!"
"Yes!"
……
On the other side, Palace Master Cao and others had already arrived at the guest house.
They sent away the disciples who were receiving guests at the guesthouse on the grounds that they liked quietness.
"Master, do you think Tianyan Dao Sect will agree to our deal?"
Palace Master Cao smiled but said nothing.
Tianyan Dao Zong would definitely agree, after all, the rubbings of the Four Symbols Stele are too attractive to them!
This tampered rubbing of the Four Symbols Stele can not only be exchanged for the Two Principles Stele rubbing, but will also give them a big surprise!
It’s not that he looks down on the people of Tianyan Dao Sect, but they are far inferior to him in terms of cultivation and scheming!
They are just barely staying afloat by living off their old capital, and sooner or later they will be swallowed up by the Xingyao Sect.
This can be seen from the hexagram that Tianyan Dao Zong’s luck has run out.
Tianyan is about to die, and Xingyao will stand.
