Chapter 34 Wuhou Qimen vs. Six-Line Money Divination
Its principle of forming a hexagram is similar to that of the traditional six-line divination method, using six copper coins as divination tools, and arranging the coins into a hexagram by shaking them.
The six large coins thrown out are used to define the yin and yang lines based on whether the side showing "Qian" or "Kun".
Each coin's yin and yang aspects constitute a line, and the six coins falling to the ground form a hexagram.
The lower trigram represents the enemy's move, while the upper trigram provides the user with their own countermeasures.
When using it, the user first divines the hexagram to come up with a perfect countermeasure against the enemy's next move, and then selects the corresponding spell based on the hexagram's interpretation.
The Six Lines Coin Divination differs from other Qimen Dunjia divination methods in that it is not within the Qimen Dunjia framework.
This means that it does not rely on or is limited by the usual four-plate system of Heaven, Earth, Man, and God, and is therefore not directly controlled by the rules of top-level magic such as Feng Hou Qi Men, and has a strong degree of independence in battle.
In short, this is a "latecomer-to-the-leader" tactic.
Its attack logic is to seek divination with one's own wishes, and then make moves to deal with the opponent based on the divination results, so as to obtain a result that can fulfill one's wishes.
Compared to a direct attack, it has an additional calculation step, making it appear more relaxed and unhurried.
However, this also requires a high level of skill from the user, because real battles are often decided in an instant, leaving no room for leisurely divination.
The open space on the outskirts of the city is far from the hustle and bustle of the docks, with only the rustling of the wind blowing through the pine forest remaining.
Zhuge Yan and Hu Haiwang stood ten paces apart.
"Young Brother Zhuge, please."
Hu Haiwang's expression became solemn, completely unlike his casual demeanor at the dock.
He slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers spread, and in his palm lay six polished Kaiyuan Tongbao copper coins.
He did not immediately cast a divination, but instead focused his mind and gaze on Zhuge Yan, his aura becoming deep and focused.
This is the preparation before starting the Six Lines Coin Divination of the Shuzimen. It requires a high degree of concentration, using intention to infuse the coins and communicate with the hexagram.
Zhuge Yan did not make the first move.
He lightly touched the ground with one foot, and silently, a Qimen formation with a diameter of about three zhang (approximately 10 meters) quietly unfolded beneath his feet.
With the central palace fixed, the positions of the eight gates—Rest, Life, Injury, Block, View, Death, Shock, and Open—became crystal clear in his consciousness, while the four plates of Heaven, Earth, Man, and God remained hidden in the void.
The surrounding wind direction, the flow of earth's energy, and even the faint "qi" energy emanating from Hu Haiwang himself were all incorporated into the game and became part of his deduction.
"The character 'Kun' (坤) represents the Earth River Chariot!"
Without uttering any unnecessary words, Zhuge Yan made a hand seal with his right hand and gestured downwards.
The ground beneath his feet in the Kun Palace position seemed to come alive, the soil and gravel instantly transforming into a rolling and roaring earth dragon, accompanied by a muffled rumble, rushing straight towards Hu Haiwang's lower body!
This was the very technique he used to kill Gu Yan. Now he was using it to test her, and while its power was somewhat reduced, its speed and force were still astonishing.
Facing the surging earth dragon, Hu Haiwang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he shouted in a low voice, "Rise!"
With a flick of his wrist, six copper coins flew out of his hand, spinning and colliding rapidly in the air, making a crisp tinkling sound.
The copper coins were not scattered randomly, but flew in a specific rhythm and trajectory.
Just as the earth dragon was about to reach its body, six copper coins simultaneously floated in the air with a "snap," arranging themselves into a specific hexagram.
Hu Haiwang's eyes flashed like lightning, instantly deciphering the situation:
"The hexagram is Dui above Xun, forming the Great Exceeding Wind! Excessive rigidity easily breaks; use gentleness to overcome rigidity! Dui represents a lake, thus releasing its power!"
He quickly formed the hand seals corresponding to the Dui trigram, and a gentle yet resilient invisible vapor appeared out of thin air in front of him.
It was not a surging wave, but rather like a sticky swamp, precisely meeting the impact point at the very tip of the earth dragon.
The violent force of the Earth River Chariot crashed into the "Dui Ze" (兑泽), like a giant fist smashing into cotton, the impact being dissolved, absorbed, and dissipated layer by layer.
The rolling soil slowed down abruptly, finally collapsing less than three feet in front of Hu Haiwang, turning into a soft mound of earth.
"What a fine Six-Line Coin Divination! It truly forms its own system, unaffected by the generating or restraining relationships of Qimen Dunjia!"
Zhuge Yan secretly praised him.
Instead of forcibly resisting the power of Kun Earth, the opponent deduced the optimal solution of "Dui Ze" to dissipate the power through the money divination, perfectly avoiding the conventional logic of the five elements' mutual generation and restraint.
This confirms what Zhuge Duan, the father, had said: the money divination method of the Shuzi School can indeed break out of the ordinary Qimen framework.
Zhuge Yan kept moving, and the position of his feet began to change.
"The character 'separation' is like fireflies in the night sky!"
He flicked his finger, and dozens of fiery red sparks, as hot as magma, shot out from the direction of the Li Palace.
Instead of directly attacking Hu Haiwang, it drew a strange arc, like a swarm of living fireflies, enveloping Hu Haiwang from all directions and sealing off all his space to dodge.
Every Mars contains terrifyingly high temperatures.
Hu Haiwang's expression changed slightly, and he reached for his waist again.
Money divination is powerful, but casting a hexagram takes time!
As he retreated quickly, he tossed the money in with a flick of his wrist once more.
The copper coins flew and jingled, attempting to form a hexagram again in front of Mars and the body.
"In my own world, I call the shots!"
Zhuge Yan's eyes narrowed, and his left hand quietly formed the hand seal of the Divine Disc.
"Eight Gods' Power, Chief Talisman! Stabilize!"
The power of the Divine Plate's Chief Talisman is activated!
The target was not Hu Haiwang himself, but the air resistance around the six copper coins!
In an instant, Hu Haiwang felt as if the copper coin he threw out had sunk into an invisible quagmire, and its speed of spinning and falling suddenly slowed down several times!
At the same time, the speed of the shooting fireflies increased instead of decreasing!
"not good!"
Alarm bells rang in Hu Haiwang's mind.
The money divination requires time for "divination," but at this moment, the power of the Chief Symbol is interfering, disrupting the divination rhythm!
With the blazing fire almost within reach, he disregarded the fact that the divination was not yet complete. He could only rely on instinct and experience to forcefully release the true qi that had just gathered the power of the Dui trigram and had not yet completely dissipated, forming a layer of rippling water-like protective shield around his body.
Puff puff puff!
Most of the sparks hit the water cover, creating large plumes of white mist and emitting a sizzling sound.
The water cover fluctuated violently, and its color faded rapidly.
However, three or four sparks still managed to penetrate the weak points in his defenses, grazing his robes and instantly scorching the fabric, leaving charred marks and causing a stinging pain to his skin.
Hu Haiwang groaned, forcibly steadying himself, his face turning somewhat pale.
His money lesson was forcibly interrupted in real-world practice for the first time, which caused him to suffer a small loss.
His gaze toward Zhuge Yan became even more solemn.
"The Divine Plate Chief Talisman... Zhuge Liang's Qimen Dunjia, truly lives up to its reputation! It can actually interfere with my divination!"
"Brother Hu, you flatter me."
Zhuge Yan did not pursue, giving him a chance to catch his breath, but the Qimen formation under his feet remained stable, and his energy firmly locked onto his opponent.
"Shall we continue?"
"certainly!"
Hu Haiwang took a deep breath, his fighting spirit intensifying.
At this moment, he completely abandoned all his contempt.
Originally, I was thinking of showing mercy to Zhuge Yan because he was still young, but now it seems that I had overdone it...
