Time quickly passed to the afternoon. After half a day of rest, Bing Tianyi's physical pain had not lessened at all; in fact, it had worsened considerably. However, since the injuries were on his back and buttocks, they did not have much impact.
Carrying his backpack, Bing Tianyi and Pang Yu exited the school gate. Just as they stepped outside, they noticed a few troublemakers at the entrance staring in their direction.
Seeing this, Bing Tianyi whispered to Pang Yu, "Alright, you should head back first."
At that moment, the group of boys had already started walking towards Bing Tianyi. Noticing this, Pang Yu hurriedly said, "Brother Bing, let's get out of here quickly. There are clearly more of them than last time..."
"Don't worry, they won't do anything to me," Bing Tianyi replied with a confident smile, fixing his gaze on the boys approaching.
Pang Yu was still just a student and felt some fear upon seeing the situation. Hearing Bing Tianyi's words, he said directly, "Okay then, if that's the case, I'll leave first. Brother Bing, you must be careful."
Bing Tianyi nodded in agreement and stepped forward.
After walking just a few steps, he heard the leader of the boys call out, "Bing Tianyi, wait."
Stopping in his tracks, Bing Tianyi turned around and feigned curiosity by asking, "What is it?"
As he spoke, the group of boys had already reached him. The leader sneered and said, "Come with us for a bit."
"Where to?"
"Why so many questions? You'll find out when you get there." After saying this, the boy shot a disdainful glare at Bing Tianyi and turned to walk away.
The other boys followed closely behind their leader and surrounded Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi recalled similar scenes from his high school days; clearly, he had never encountered such a situation before. Therefore, he was uncertain about what would happen next.
Looking up at the sky, Bing Tianyi let out a bitter smile.
"Hey kid, hurry up," the leader said when he saw Bing Tianyi standing still. He then turned and slapped Bing Tianyi hard on the head.
Bing Tianyi wanted to fight back, but he was alone and weak, unable to resist. He could only suppress the anger in his heart and stride forward.
After walking a few steps, Bing Tianyi's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed.
“Nine people, today is exactly the Lunar Calendar Ninth, which is favorable for the constant and has no blame! Isn't that what the book says?” Bing Tianyi murmured, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He knew that such a number was not merely a coincidence; it must be a number designated by heaven. Here, the nine could be interpreted as the first ninth day. The so-called first ninth day, as annotated in the book, signifies steadfastness and consistency, capable of adhering to norms. Thus, there would naturally be no disasters or misfortunes.
With this thought, Bing Tianyi's anxious heart gradually calmed down.
Following behind this group of people, he soon arrived at the foot of Nanshan County.
From a distance, Bing Tianyi spotted Brother Kun standing quietly not far away, a cigarette dangling from his mouth as he gazed into the distance.
“Move quickly! Don't you recognize him?” Huang Mao shouted at Bing Tianyi angrily.
Bing Tianyi smiled calmly and replied, “Of course I recognize him.”
Before long, Bing Tianyi reached Brother Kun's side and stood still. He politely asked, “I wonder what brings you here today, Brother Kun?”
Upon hearing this, Brother Kun glanced at Bing Tianyi before turning back to look into the distance. After a while, he finally asked Bing Tianyi, “Do you think today will be good or bad for you?”
“It's half good and half bad,” Bing Tianyi replied straightforwardly.
Brother Kun chuckled upon hearing this and asked, “Then what if I say today is bad for you?”
“If that's the case, then Brother Kun, you must be in great trouble today,” Bing Tianyi said without changing his expression, his face serious.
Seeing this, Brother Kun let out an odd laugh. He then asked, “Alright then, tell me when my issues with the crow will come to an end?”
“Do you want to hear the truth?”
"That depends on whether you want to live," Brother Kun said with a laugh after Bing Tianyi finished speaking.
Bing Tianyi chuckled lightly before replying, "In that case, I'll tell you the truth. If you keep going like this, things will end very soon."
"Then why don't you tell me if it will be good or bad for me?" Brother Kun asked.
"I only hear the word 'bad'!" Bing Tianyi asserted.
After saying this, the guy with yellow hair quickly moved closer to Bing Tianyi and angrily shouted, "You little brat, stop pretending to be mysterious here. What good or bad? If you know what's good for you, hurry up and hand over a thousand bucks!"
"Why should I pay?"
"Heh, are you saying that day you beat up our Brother Kun for free?" The yellow-haired guy glared at Bing Tianyi with a fierce look.
Bing Tianyi smiled innocently and replied, "Are you saying this is my fault?"
"That's ridiculous. If it's not your fault, then whose fault is it?" the yellow-haired guy continued to speak arrogantly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Kun interjected, "Stop wasting time and get lost."
Hearing this, the yellow-haired guy quickly nodded and stepped back. Brother Kun then asked, "So tell me, what can be done to turn bad luck into good?"
"That also depends on yourself."
"What do you mean by that?" Brother Kun pressed on.
"Brother Kun, could you have one of your men give me a cigarette?" Bing Tianyi asked with a smile.
Brother Kun was taken aback for a moment but then pulled a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Bing Tianyi. After lighting it, Bing Tianyi took a deep puff and then asked Brother Kun, "Brother Kun, if I'm not mistaken, the crows have already started dealing with you, right?"
Seeing the strange expression on Bing Tianyi's face, Brother Kun sneered and said, "Go on."
"You are about to face a tremendous disaster, and most importantly, you cannot resolve it on your own right now," Bing Tianyi said, combining his memories with his understanding of the Sixty-Four Hexagrams.
"Sit down and talk," Brother Kun gestured to the nearby Stone Chair, a hint of surprise showing on his face as he quickly whispered.
Bing Tianyi took a seat on the Stone Chair and continued, "If you believe me, I can help you get through this crisis."
"Wait, why do you say I can't solve this crisis by myself?" Brother Kun asked curiously.
Bing Tianyi smiled and replied, "Hold on, let me check something."
He pulled out his watch and glanced at the time. It was exactly six twenty; six two was indeed the most dangerous moment.
After pondering for a moment, he spoke again, "Alright, don't ask me how I know this. If you trust me, go to the top of North Mountain. There is a small temple there. Stay there for the next seven days without coming down, and it will help you avert this crisis. If you don't listen to me, you'll have to deal with the consequences yourself."
After saying this, Bing Tianyi stood up and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Brother Kun quickly stepped forward and grabbed Bing Tianyi's arm, asking, "What are you planning to do?"
"Of course I'm leaving. Do you have something else in mind?" Bing Tianyi asked with a smile.
"Do you know how much property I will lose if I'm not in the county for these seven days?" Brother Kun asked sternly.
"Don't worry; as long as you can turn misfortune into fortune this time, everything you've lost recently will definitely come back to you," Bing Tianyi assured him with a smile.
When Brother Kun saw the confident expression on Bing Tianyi's face and the seriousness in his tone, he paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Fine, I'll listen to you this time. But if I find out you're lying to me, I won't let you off easily."
Bing Tianyi was surprised that Brother Kun would trust him so readily. After Brother Kun finished speaking, he nodded and calmly said, "Since you've said that, I need to clarify something. As long as you can turn misfortune into fortune this time, you must agree to three things from me."
"What three things?" Brother Kun asked curiously.
"I'll tell you once I've thought it through. But rest assured, I won't ask you to do anything beyond your capabilities," Bing Tianyi said earnestly with a smile to ease any worries Brother Kun might have.
Brother Kun frowned and then nodded in agreement. He immediately said to This Group of Brothers, "Listen up, I need to go out of town for a while. I'll leave the business matters to Achen. You all figure things out on your own if anything comes up."
In response to Brother Kun's words, the group of brothers was completely speechless. They never expected that the previously imposing leader would be subdued by this kid with just a few simple sentences.
However, they were already under Brother Kun's command, and as brothers, they naturally had to listen to what he said.
After hearing this, the brothers nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Brother Kun turned to look at Bing Tianyi and then turned to leave. Bing Tianyi breathed a sigh of relief, stayed in place for a moment, and then hurried home.
Everything seemed normal. After returning home, Bing Tianyi thought about his recent experiences and decided to focus on studying the two books given to him by the old monk.
But unexpectedly, after reading for just a few minutes in the empty room, a wave of fatigue quickly swept over him.
He collapsed onto the table and soon fell into a deep sleep.
In his dream, Bing Tianyi was still diligently reading the books given to him by the old monk when suddenly someone knocked on the door. He got up and walked to the door, opening it.
The scene before him nearly made dream-Bing Tianyi lose control.
He stared wide-eyed at the iron chains in the old monk's hands and those eyes that could kill. He stood frozen for a long time before finally asking with a trembling voice, "Master, what do you want? You're already dead; are you here because I did something wrong?"
