Chapter 4 - Mysteries of Hidden Treasures

The flickering flame of the oil lamp was extremely short, as if it was the lifespan of the hall's patriarch who was standing in front of Li Tianyuan. The old man who was standing in front of the patriarch's body was aging at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

The originally strong and sturdy body gradually became hunched. His originally rosy cheeks were now filled with age spots. His eyes also gradually became cloudy. Only the occasional flash of light could be seen to prove that the old man's spirit was still as strong as before.

"Master" Lin Bai, who was kneeling on the ground, had long since sobbed uncontrollably.

"Foolish child, don't try to make a fool of yourself. "Life is rare, but I have lived for over a hundred years. This age is enough." Li Tianyuan patted Lin Bai's head and laughed.

"Lift your head, look, this is our Celestial Fortune Telling Sect's secret treasure." Li Tianyuan forced himself to walk in front of the ancestor god statue, kowtowing three times, he took off the ancient book in the ancestor god statue's hand.

This ancient book appeared to be no different from the great ancient book in the hands of the collector. With the imprint left on it by the passage of time, it seemed incredibly old. However, if one looked carefully, they would find that this ancient book was not made of paper. It was made of a metal similar to paper, neither gold nor rain.

"Both of you, bite your hands to pieces. Take turns to drip your blood onto this ancient book." Li Tianyuan said in a low voice: "Sanmad, you are the senior brother, you go first."

Zhang Sanfeng raised his hand, and fresh blood from his fingertips dripped onto the ancient book's simple cover. After a long while, there was no reaction. The air in the room was still the same.

The decadent look on Li Tianyuan's face slightly appeared, and instantly seemed to have aged a bit.

"Lin Bai, you come!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Bai bit his finger and dripped a drop of his blood on the ancient book.

Countless ancient words appeared on the cover of the incredibly dull and ancient book, as if they were alive, after being stained with Lin Bai's blood.

Suddenly, the light in the room brightened up, the words on the ancient book suddenly rotated and converged together, condensing together to form the appearance of an ancient River Diagram Book. From the ancient book, it flew up into the air and imprinted itself on Lin Bai's forehead, while the ancient book suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The sound of thunder outside was getting louder and louder. The lightning tore apart the dark sky like snakes or dragons. They converged on the roof of the temple as if they were going to fall at any moment. However, when the light that resembled a River Diagram Book shone onto Lin Bai's forehead, the sound of thunder outside the hall gradually disappeared, and the originally hazy sky started to shine faintly, and the sky actually started to clear up.

"Good, good, good!" After Li Tianyuan said those three words of 'good' in succession, he looked at the dumbstruck Lin Bai and Zhang Sanfeng and laughed towards the sky.

"I never thought that I, Li Tianyuan, would actually accept such a great disciple in this lifetime. When the secret treasure recognizes its master, it can actually cause a great change to the world. My Celestial Fortune Telling Sect has successors, and I, Li Tianyuan, have the face to see the ancestors underground. "

"Lin Bai, from today onwards, you are my celestial line's new grandmaster." Li Tianyuan looked at Lin Bai and said warmly, his eyes filled with the kind of warmth a father would show when he sees his son accomplish something. From early childhood to now, he was both a teacher and a father.

"Three Crazy, you go out first. I have something to say to your junior brother." Li Tianyuan looked at Zhang Sanfeng who was crying on the ground, and patted him on the shoulder and said indifferently.

When Zhang Sanfeng walked out of the hall, Li Tianyuan looked at Lin Bai who was lying on the ground with a benevolent expression and said softly, "Foolish child, if you have anything to ask me, quickly ask me. This old Daoist is reaching his end soon."

Master, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old. As the saying goes, a disaster can last for a thousand years, and you've done many evil deeds. You let me steal the chickens from the village head old Li family, and you also made me climb the wall to see a widow bathe. Lin Bai choked with sobs, his teary eyes looking at Li Tian Yu, and said.

Li Tian Yu kicked Lin Bai away, pointed at Lin Bai and cursed, "Smelly brat, this old Daoist is already 103 years old, and you were still cursing me for being able to live for a hundred years?

In terms of life and death, you and I are inheritors of the Xiang Faction, so we are not clear on the principle of good fortune. I managed to get this half of the day through Zhuge Liuyun's Seven Stars Lantern that defies the heavens. Furthermore, Master is already going to die, so don't throw dirty water on an old bones like me. If it wasn't for you thinking that I could live for a few more days before saying such words, I would have already whipped you with a big stick. "

Li Tianyuan lovingly pulled Lin Bai up from the ground, stroked the long hair on Lin Bai's head, and said with furrowed brows: "Why do you look so good, why did you leave such a tail behind? Hurry up and cut it off."

"What do you have to ask? Hurry up and ask. The heavens don't want me to stay any longer." Li Tianyuan's body trembled as he sat down beside the statue of the ancestor and chuckled.

Lin Bai wiped away his tears, looked at Li Tianyuan in front of him, and said in a trembling voice, "Master, what if Junior Master really comes, how will I use this secret treasure? Also, what do we do in the future in the Celestial Fortune Telling Sect? Whether we stay in the Maoshan or cultivate outside of the world, I, as your disciple, do not wish to learn from you.

You don't have to worry about Tong Yuan, you brat. Even if you marry a hundred or so wives and give birth to a bunch of disciples for me, no one will pull your hair. This old Daoist is also very happy in the underworld. As for your Uncle-Master Chen Qiling, I have already shown him his appearance, he is blessed by nature, so there is nothing to be afraid of. "

"Secret Treasures are naturally magical. Their usage varies from person to person. The beauty of it all can only be slowly experienced by you." After Li Tianyuan panted, he looked at Lin Bai who stood in front of him with a complicated expression and said softly: "This child was born with an ironclad fate. You must use it carefully, you absolutely must not enter the evil path."

"Straight away?" Lin Bai was stunned, and said while looking at Li Tianyuan in shock.

"Don't you realize that sometimes, as long as you say it out loud, as long as it's not too harsh, you will definitely achieve it?" Li Tianyuan laughed and scolded: "Brat, you really don't know when you're lucky. You have so many skills that people dream of, but you are completely unaware of it."

Lin Bai thought about it, and realised that this was actually the case. He had been hanging out outside for a while, and had gotten lost in the suburbs one day. Just as he wanted to run into the police, he saw the police light of a patrol car coming from afar.

You cursed me when I fell into the latrine, and only discovered this when I actually fell into the latrine that night. I didn't mention it all these years because I was afraid that you would use this ability to do bad things! "" You're right.

"Lin Bai, you are naturally intelligent, but your personality is still rather unrestrained, but you must remember everything Master said next. To put it bluntly, the inheritance of our Xiang Faction is exposing our destiny, but you absolutely must not reveal too much of it, or else you will suffer a backlash from the heaven and earth."

"A backlash from the heaven and earth?" Lin Bai said in shock.

"With all sorts of karma around you, Heaven's Destruction is a small matter. If it involves not only you, but also your loved ones as well."

Li Tianyuan retracted the smile on his face, and continued to look at Lin Bai: "Those of us who have good Fengshui, will most likely be one of the five, three, and one of the missing. I am unable to see your fate clearly, but I might be able to find a way to solve it, if there is a lucky chance, I can help the people of this world, but you must not lose your life."

Li Tianyuan's tone gradually slowed down. He had watched Lin Bai grow from a crying baby to this big, and that feeling had long surpassed the relationship between master and disciple. He truly saw Lin Bai as his own grandson. His lifespan was short, his lifespan was nearing its end, and the one who was unable to relax the most was Lin Bai.

At this time, Lin Bai's voice was choked with sobs. Looking at the gradually weakening aura of Li Tianyuan in front of him, he grabbed onto the old man's body and choked with sobs, "Master …"

"What a pity, what a pity. This old Daoist will never see you getting married again." "Hahahaha!" Li Tianyuan laughed out loud, his spirit seemed to have improved a little, but Lin Bai understood, he was only able to see the light before the light, "The great dao is lacking, only my own generation can guess, and if I can find a worthy successor, I will have no regrets in my life!"

Wind was blowing outside the window, and the dark clouds in the sky were covered up once again. The sky seemed to be filled with an even more austere atmosphere. Thunder growled in the clouds, seeming to silently mourn for the elderly man who had passed away at the same time.

"Old thing, you're going to let it go just like that. Where's my Celestial Fortune Telling Sect's secret treasure, quickly give it to me!"

Lin Bai's face had yet to dry from tears, when he heard a middle-aged man clamoring from the outside, and carefully placed Li Tianyuan's corpse on the side. Lin Bai's tears flowed as he suddenly turned and walked out of the house.
