Riding the Pheonix Chapter 232: divination

People who wanted to compete for face rushed to the front. ()

Before Mingwei and Ji Xiaowu arrived at the first level, the test questions had already been announced.

The first test question of Fangmen is very consistent with Xuandu Guan’s identity: fortune telling.

The gatekeeper is an old Taoist priest. His thin body is sitting cross-legged on the stone beside the gate of the square, with a divination tube in front of him.

He pointed to the divination tube in front of him with a smile: "The old Taoist is destined to commit the lone star, and he is born to punish the six relatives. My friends, if you can calculate for the old Tao a destiny full of flowers and riches, you will be lucky."

Everyone was surprised when they learned about this test question.

What is this test question? You don’t ask people to calculate accurately, but you ask people to calculate incorrectly?

The emperor asked the accompanying dean: "In charge of Yi, is it not easy to calculate accurately? Isn't it enough to just say random things?"

The headmaster said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this fellow Pindao wants a specific destiny. If the hexagram is not shaken, it will not count."

Concubine Pei thought for a while: "What if you get the hexagram? Isn't that like gambling?"

The headmaster nodded with a smile: "The empress is talking about one thing. If you are lucky enough and get a good fortune in one shake, then it is good luck and you should pass the test."

Jiang Sheng heard this and said: "The immortal said, this is one aspect, is there another aspect that can pass the test 100%?"

The dean in charge laughed and said: "Your Highness is right. There are not many skills in this level. If you criticize, you can't do it, but if you know it, it's not difficult."

Hearing this, Jiang Sheng turned his attention to those competing.

Yang Shu suddenly stood up and said he wanted to participate in the competition. He realized there was something hidden in it, so he asked others to participate. Now among these test participants, there are his people. I wonder if they can stop Yang Shu.

The candidates in front of the first Daofang gate also listened to the explanation of the old guard. Those who were not familiar with mysticism couldn't help but look at each other.

According to convention, there should be seven copper coins in the hexagram tube. It depends entirely on luck. The possibility of getting the wealth and fortune that the old man wants is very slim.

This first level alone is difficult to pass.

Among the test takers, a man with a background as a general asked: "Chief Immortal, I said earlier that fighting with force counts. Is this your level..."

The old Taoist stroked his beard: "Of course. If you have the ability to pass this gate, the old Taoist will give you a Bagua copper coin."

As soon as he said these words, several eyes lit up.

The one who asked the question was the first to say: "Immortal, I'm offended!"

After saying that, he punched out and strong wind hit his face.

The old man's beard was raised, but without moving his eyelids, he raised his hand, easily held his fist, and pushed it out with a backhand palm.

His moves were extremely soft, but they relied on strength. The guy who made the move immediately fell out and hit the mountain wall hard.

"Little friend, I'm offended." The old Taoist nodded with a smile.

The first person to be eliminated was born so easily.

The man didn't expect that he couldn't hold on to even one move. His face turned red, he hurriedly gave him a fist, covered his face and left.

In the imperial competition, if you perform well, you will be in the limelight; if you perform poorly, you will be embarrassed in front of the emperor.

For a moment, the others were frightened.

The old Taoist looked calm, still sitting with a smile, not anxious or impatient.

After a while, someone finally thought of it with a bright mind: "Chief Immortal, you said that if you pass this door, you can get the Bagua copper coins without defeating you, right?"

The veteran smiled and nodded: "Not bad."

A few people who feel they are good at Qinggong are eager to try it.

Lao Dao added: "You can pass the level together. As long as you are not stopped by Lao Tao, you will pass."

This sentence further aroused the hearts of the participants who were ready to move.

Later, Ji Xiaowu asked: "Is it really so easy to pass the level? I always think it's too easy!"

Ming Wei said: "Look at that Taoist Priest, he just received that punch, and his lower body didn't even move. According to my estimation, he has at least a dozen of skills. Those who can enter Xuandu and observe are talented. They are all first-class, and with sixty years of skill, who do you think among these people here can beat him?"

"You can't do it either?"

Ming smiled and said: "Don't talk about me, even the two viewer candidates are currently unbeatable."

Unless they use the epiphyllum flowers for their own use after winning. Mingwei added in his mind.

Ji Xiaowu understood: "So, for this test question, the path of force will not work."

"Not necessarily." Mingwei said, "Since they have said that force is allowed to break through, they have reserved such a path. If someone really reaches this level of force, they can naturally go unimpeded."

"But what do you mean, aren't you saying that none of these people here can beat him?"

Ming Wei chuckled: "Who knows if there will be an accident? Maybe someone is hiding something secretly, or there may be some special secret skill."

While the two were talking, many of the test participants over there had already communicated with their eyes. Several people stood up at the same time and ran towards the gate of the square.

The old Taoist still sat still, picked up the divination tube and raised it.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, there were several sounds, and seven copper coins were beaten out.

"Ah!"

"Plop"

The sound is endless.

The few people who broke through were all stopped.

This time several people were eliminated in succession.

The old Taoist took back the copper coins and sat down calmly: "My friends, if there are any other ways you want to try, just do it."

After a moment of silence, a young man who looked like a scribe finally approached and saluted: "Immortal, I am willing to give it a try."

The old Taoist smiled and extended his hand: "Master, please."

The young scribe picked up the hexagram tube, shook it cautiously, closed his eyes and recited silently, gritted his teeth, and poured it out.

The old Taoist glanced at the hexagram image and said with a smile: "Young Master has some knowledge of fortune-telling. This hexagram is sincere and sincere, but the old Taoist's fortune calculation is very close to ten."

This sentence sounded like an exaggeration, but the face of the scholar young man suddenly darkened, and he bowed deeply to him: "Young man's skills are not as good as others, thank you for your advice." After saying that, he turned around and walked down the mountain road.

The old Taoist said that his destiny is to punish his six relatives, and the calculation is close to ten, which means that he did not calculate the fate he wanted.

With neither martial arts nor literature, the children of high-ranking officials in front of the square are helpless.

The first level is so sad~IndoMTL.com~It’s not easy to be in the limelight in front of the emperor!

After failing twice in succession, the remaining participants became cautious and did not dare to try again.

When I was at a loss, someone laughed and walked up to the old Taoist: "I'll do it."

When the emperor saw him, he smiled and said to Concubine Pei: "What kind of evil idea did Shu'er have in mind?"

Concubine Pei pursed her lips and smiled.

This scene was particularly dazzling when the prince saw it.

For those who didn’t know, they thought they were a family!

Yang Shu poured out the copper coins inside and looked at them carefully one by one, weighing the weight from time to time. He picked up the hexagram tube again and tried his hand by turning it over and over.

After a while, he finally put the copper coins back into the hexagram tube.

"Forget it! Watch it!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they saw him pick up the hexagram tube and start shaking it.
