The Art of Asking Questions Without Shame

Lin Wei gently brushed a strand of hair that had fallen beside her ear. "Regarding the ' Primordial Stone Fragment,' current discoveries and human understanding of it are still very limited."

"The documents unearthed from the 'Guixu' site rarely mention this aspect."

"Only one Stone Tablet, the Chronicle of the Primordial Era, mentions something about it, which should be related to your question."

Luo Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

Lin Wei softly said, "Tai-Chi symbol, Tai-Su Pattern, Tai-Shi Talisman, Tai-Yi Talisman, Tai-Chu Seal."

Luo Yan repeated it after hearing it.

Lin Wei then continued, "You were awarded the ' Primordial Stone Fragment ' by Qingyang City, so you should know that those strange stones have patterns resembling the Taiji symbol."

That must be the so-called ' Tai-Chi symbol '.

"If this matches up, then the better the quality of the ' Primordial Stone Fragment,' the more likely its corresponding pattern will change."

"The ' Tai-Chi symbol ' may transform into the ' Tai-Su Pattern ', and the ' Tai-Su Pattern ' may transform into the ' Tai-Shi Talisman ', and so on."

"This is just my guess. As for whether the ' Primordial Stone Fragment ' can be upgraded to correspond to a higher level of ' Divine Treasure,' I have no idea."

"But..."

Lin Wei paused for a moment and then said, "If the two ' Primordial Stone Fragment ' are placed together, they should merge into one."

Luo Yan couldn't help but look at the girl. "How can you be so sure?"

He witnessed the two 'fragments' merging with his own eyes, but Lin Wei didn't seem like someone who had personally witnessed this phenomenon, hence the question.

Lin Wei's eyes gleamed. "Almost all the information related to the ' Primordial Stone ' points to the same thing."

"The Primordial Stone yearns to return to 'One' at all times."

"This 'one' is the 'one' in the saying in the Book of Changes, 'The Great Way is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one is hidden away.'"

"Also the beginning, the very beginning."

"This is what the Primordial Stone originally looked like."

Luo Yan didn't quite understand. "The original appearance of the Primordial Stone?"

"What does it look like?"

Lin Wei shook her head, blinked, and said, "There is a theory that ' Yanfu ' and 'Guixu' are the yin and yang fish in the ' Tai-Chi symbol '."

"Please note that it is only a ' Tai-Chi symbol,' not even a ' Tai-Su Pattern.'"

"Therefore, the Primordial Stone may represent the state of the universe before chaos."

"That's why it's possible that it's the 'one that has escaped'."

"And once fully restored, no one can imagine what that state would be like."

Luo Yan pinched the bridge of his nose and said seriously, "I'm definitely not cut out for scientific research; I can't even imagine that kind of situation..."

Lin Wei's face was cold and indifferent. "This is no longer scientific research."

Luo Yan also thought it made sense. After thinking about it, he decided to ask Lin Wei about the next stage of the ' Eye of True Suchness '.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps. I looked up and saw a group of people striding towards me.

Their uniforms had a military style, with large lapels, double-breasted buttons, and belts.

Black clothes, black pants, black military boots.

However, the cuff epaulettes have gold piping along the edges, and the cuff studs are also gold with a dragon claw pattern.

"Lin Wei, classmate."

The leader extended his hand towards Lin Wei.

Luo Yan raised his eyebrows and reached out to grab the other person's wrist.

The man looked at Luo Yan, then suddenly unleashed a burst of energy that shook Luo Yan's hand away.

Luo Yan's pupils dilated slightly as he felt a sharp pain in the web of his hand.

A silver cross appeared in his eyes, and his internal Primal Energy roared.

Just then, Lin Wei said, "It's okay, Classmate Luo, they're not bad people."

Luo Yan glanced at Lin Wei, whose expression remained calm, before taking two steps back.

She carefully examined the man who had just shaken her wrist away.

This man is definitely a master.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the other person was tall and thin, especially their face, which appeared to have very little flesh.

But his eyes were bright, as if burning with fierce fire.

"This is Shen Feng, Uncle Shen."

Lin Wei introduced herself with Luo Luo and poise, "Uncle Shen is my teacher's safety supervisor."

At this moment, the 'teacher' Lin Wei was referring to was not the mentors of the Hundred Battles Academy, but Dr. Jia Miao, who guided her research on the Guixu script.

"Uncle Shen, has the teacher come to Guangling?"

Shen Feng nodded. "Dr. Jia Miao wants you to help her."

"Okay." Lin Wei glanced at Luo Yan. "Classmate Luo, let's talk again next time."

Then he followed Shen Feng and his group.

Watching them leave, Luo Yan recalled encountering the ' Tiangang Dragon Riders ' convoy when entering the city yesterday. It seemed that Dr. Jia Miao must have been in that convoy at the time.

The ' Tiangang Dragon Riders Tiangang Dragon Riders ' must have come to Guangling to protect this doctor. It's clear that Lin Wei, this teacher, has quite a background.

They must be some important person.

But what would such an important person be doing in Guangling? It couldn't possibly be to visit his students.

Luo Yan closed his eyes briefly, then looked at the bookshelf not far away. "How long do you plan to hide?"

There was a loud bang behind the bookshelf, followed by a soft gasp, and then Zeng Shan came out chuckling. "Old Luo, your ears are really sharp, you heard that too."

Next to emerge was Li Bohang, carrying a book and adjusting his glasses with his other hand. He said, "I came to read books; I just happened to run into them."

Finally, there was the girl in white wearing a bunny hat. She looked guiltily at her toes and tugged at the bunny ears on her hat.

night.

Wearing a cloak, carrying the ' Huanlong ' on his back, and with the 'Bone -Bone Scraper ' hanging from his waist, Luo Yan arrived at the alley.

Looking up, the former 'record store' has now been transformed into a bar.

The words "Red House" were illuminated by a ring of lights, shimmering with a mesmerizing glow in the alley.

A signboard stood at the entrance of the bar, with the words "New store opening, drinks 50% off" written on it in a distorted manner.

Luo Yan opened the door and went in. A weak voice inside said, "Welcome," followed by an "Eh?" and then, "The captain's here?"

It was Wei Junyi.

With only one arm, dressed as a waiter, he seemed somewhat inclined to turn away customers.

However, Luo Yan didn't expect to make money from this bar; it was just a cover, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

He nodded, and then saw the fake Taoist Wen Zou at the bar.

Wen Zou still wore his hair in a Daoist bun, but dressed as a bartender, he looked completely out of place.

"Guan Peng over." Luo Yan sat down on a high stool next to the bar.

Wen Zou nodded, beckoned a team member over, gave him a few instructions, and told him to go to West Nine Alley to find someone.

Then, smiling, he said to Luo Yan, "Captain, how do you think our setup is?"

Luo Yan glanced around briefly and nodded slightly.

Wen Zou lowered his voice and said, "The other night, the people in the Flower Shirt came again, but Junyi sent them all away."

"Yes, the kind that turns into a corpse, of course."

As they were talking, the bar door was suddenly kicked open.

With a loud bang, everyone except Luo Yan turned to look at the gate.

One after another, men in floral shirts slipped in through the door. They looked around, then kicked over tables and chairs, coldly asking, "Who's the owner here?"
