"This is a magic weapon!" Qin Yu's eyes flashed, staring at the two pieces of tortoise shell in the old Taoist hand, and said in shock.
"You have good eyesight, you can actually tell that this is a magic weapon at a glance." The old Taoist raised his head and glanced at Qin Yu, with a hint of contentment in his eyes.
"A natural magic weapon, no, it shouldn't be." Qin Yu was indeed shocked at first, but then his expression returned to calm.
He has seen a lot of magic weapons. If they were just magic weapons, it would not surprise him. But when these two pieces of tortoise shell first appeared, Qin Yu thought they were two natural magic weapons. What is innate?
A naturally formed magic weapon, nurtured by the essence of heaven and earth, without any trace of man-made artifacts.
According to legend, there once was a stone gandang on the top of Mount Tai. It was nurtured by the Qi of Mount Tai's universe and naturally formed a magic weapon. However, it was later taken away by an expert and never appeared again. This kind of magic weapon is called
It is a natural magic weapon.
Although these two pieces of tortoise shells seemed to be ancient things at first glance, at least thousands of years old, Qin Yu discovered carefully that the runes on these two pieces of tortoise shells were the basis for making the tortoise shells a magical weapon, and they were not innate.
Magical weapon.
"Fifty years ago, I got this pair of yin and yang tortoise shells by chance. From then on, I embarked on the path of divination. In the first twenty years, I made six hundred predictions and made mistakes five hundred times. In the next twenty years, I made three predictions.
Ten times, I made mistakes thirty times, but in the last ten years I only calculated ten hexagrams, but I made no mistakes."
The old Taoist spoke loudly, looked at Mr. Bao, and spoke word by word.
Mr. Bao smiled, and slowly stretched his right hand into his arms. When he stretched it out again, there were three copper coins in the palm of his hand. Under the sunlight, these three copper coins shone with a golden luster, just like the tortoise shell on the old Taoist hand.
The vicissitudes of life are dim, forming a sharp contrast.
"Nine palaces calculate all the affairs of the world, and eight characters measure all the people in the world." Mr. Bao only said this in response to the old man.
"It's up to the host to do as he pleases, so I'll be here first."
After the old Taoist finished speaking with a smile, he was about to make a hexagram, but Mr. Bao waved his hand to stop the old Taoist and said: "I will let the guests go first. I think I should come first."
After saying this, Mr. Bao placed three copper coins in the palm of his hand, with his palms facing down, clenching his fists, and he was about to perform the hexagram.
"We are a guest from afar. Naturally, I, as the host, will be the first to offer some advice. Mr. Bao, you should wait a moment."
When the old man saw Bao Lao's hand gesture, his face tightened, and he took out his other hand and grabbed it towards the palm of Bao Lao's right hand.
"Brother Ziyuan is so polite. I'm an uninvited guest. I shouldn't expect Brother Ziyuan to be so polite. I'd better come first."
Bao Lao also used his left hand but blocked Lao Dao's left hand. The two left hands met on the table. Qin Yu only saw the light flashing in the palms of the two people. It was obvious that the contest between the two had begun.
In fact, Qin Yu understands why Mr. Bao and this old Taoist want to rush to make hexagrams. There is a saying in the metaphysics world: hexagrams are accurate once, twice and three times. It means that the same thing, the further you test it, the more likely it will be.
The greater the difficulty, and similarly, in the same place, the first person to make a hexagram will have a greater advantage than the second person to make a hexagram.
Especially for masters of divination like Mr. Bao and Lao Tao, in the same place, whoever makes a prediction first will almost never be able to make a prediction for the other person. No one can explain the specific reason, but using an image
To describe it metaphorically, it's like there is something magical in a place, and this magical thing can make the hexagrams efficacious, but the magical things contained in a place are limited, whether it includes
I am still an old man, and when I make a hexagram, I will definitely absorb most of this magical thing. It will be much more difficult for the remaining one to calculate it accurately.
Therefore, neither of these two people dared to let the other party take the lead. The two of them were in a stalemate. Qin Yu, who was standing behind Mr. Bao, could feel the chaotic aura above the wooden table. This was a secret confrontation between Mr. Bao and Lao Dao.
caused.
Xiao Jiu, who was standing on Qin Yu's shoulder, glanced at the two people rather boredly, yawned, rolled his eyes in a circle, and then continued to narrow his eyes.
"Haha, Master Bao, if we continue to be so polite, no one will be able to make predictions. I think it's better to just leave it like this. We won't make predictions anymore, so let's take a bet on how many levels Qin Yu can get through."
As soon as the old Taoist said these words, Qin Yu's expression changed and he shouted quickly: "Senior Brother Bao, please don't agree."
Qin Yu did not expect that this veteran would have such thoughts. This was clearly a multiple-choice question, which was not fair to Mr. Bao at all.
From Bao Lao's point of view, the only choice is to bet on reaching the top of the mountain and pass all six levels. There is no other choice. This does not reflect Bao Lao's divination skills at all, because Bao Lao cannot make other choices.
But even Qin Yu himself is not 100% confident that he can pass the six levels. Once he fails, it means that Mr. Bao is not as good as this veteran in hexagram skills. Therefore, this is simply an unfair question.
"Junior Brother Qin, please be patient and don't be impatient."
To Qin Yu's surprise, the expression on Mr. Bao's face did not change. He still looked at the old man with a smile and said, "Okay, let's bet on this."
"I bet Qin Yu can pass the fourth level, but finally stops at the fifth level." The old Taoist glanced at Qin Yu and said word by word.
"I bet that my junior brother can pass six levels in a row and reach the top." Mr. Bao said it without hesitation.
"Haha, Master Bao, what are you betting on? The fifth level is in charge of three fifth-grade physiognomists from my Tianshi Mansion, and the sixth level is in charge of the Tianshi himself. But this time you made a mistake.
Already."
The old Taoist shook his head and suddenly laughed.
"It all depends on man-made things. There is still a chance of life in the Forty-nine Great Dao. You and I are both people who study hexagrams. How can we not know this? There are no absolutes in this world. Variables always exist." Mr. Bao smiled.
retorted.
"Although variables are the most magical place in the world, it is so difficult to trigger this variable." The old Taoist snorted coldly, looked at Qin Yu, and said: "You can continue to go forward, I will work with Bao Zhang
I'll just sit back and wait for the results to see if this variable exists."
"Junior brother Qin, go ahead. Don't be burdened, and don't think that I made this judgment to give you confidence. This is the result of my heart hexagram. You can climb to the top of Longhu Mountain. Go
Right." Mr. Bao also looked at Qin Yu and said loudly.
Qin Yu stared at Mr. Bao for a long time, and finally nodded, without saying another word, and walked straight towards the mountain road ahead. He could not judge whether Mr. Bao's words were true or false, but he knew that from now on, his
I have another mission on my body.
In addition to climbing to the top, taking Fan Youqiu away, and seeking justice for the Jiang family, he now also carries the reputation of Mr. Bao. If he fails to pass the six hurdles and reach the top, it means that Mr. Bao and Lao Dao
This time, Mr. Bao lost the competition, which means that Mr. Bao's attainments in hexagram skills are not as good as those of the old Taoist.
"Three fifth-grade fortune tellers, Zhang Tianshi guards the gate..."
Qin Yu squinted his eyes and looked at the peak, a cold light flashed in his eyes. This time, he must reach the top, and no one can stop him.
"Hmm!"
Xiao Jiu, who was lying on Qin Yu's shoulder, also felt the change in Qin Yu's momentum. He opened his eyes, stood up slowly, stood on Qin Yu's shoulder, held his little head high, and roared at the top.
One sound.
"Senior brother, I think the Heavenly Master is making a fuss. How could Qin Yu pass the six levels? There is no need to put up this formation to deal with him alone."
"The Heavenly Master naturally has his reasons for doing this. Regardless of whether Qin Yu can break in here, in short, our mission is to stop Qin Yu here."
Halfway up the main peak of Longhu Mountain, sixteen middle-aged Taoist priests in their forties stood there, all holding talismans. In front of them was a wide flat land, and behind them was a steep mountain road.
"I estimate that Qin Yu has not even passed the second level by now, otherwise he would not have heard the sound of fireworks. You must know that Uncle Yuan is waiting for the second level. With Uncle Yuan's cultivation, Qin Yu cannot possibly
I got through it."
"Yes, Uncle Yuan alone is as good as us. It's impossible for Qin Yu to survive. I guess we are just wasting our time here."
Several Taoist priests spoke in agreement, but as soon as they finished speaking, they suddenly paused because a faint sound of footsteps entered their ears from below.
The sixteen Taoist priests all turned their attention to the corner of the mountain road below, where the sound came from. In their ever-expanding pupils, a young figure finally appeared in front of them.
"Qin Yu!"
The expressions of many Taoist priests suddenly changed. They did not expect that the person they were talking about a moment ago would appear in front of them at this moment. Qin Yu gave them a shining slap in the face with a silent expression.
Qin Yu stopped at the bottom of the ground and looked up at the sixteen Taoist priests above. The expression on his face was neither happy nor sad.
"Qin Yu, how could you have come here? Did you pass the second level? Impossible, how could you have passed Master Yuan's level? Moreover, we didn't hear the sound of the salute."
A series of questioning voices came from the mouth of a Taoist priest above. Qin Yu glanced at the Taoist priest, but did not answer. Instead, he took three steps forward and spoke calmly.
"You can't stop me, just get out of the way."
"Humph, I don't know how you got through Master Yuan's level, but you can't even think about passing this level and stopping here."
The leading Taoist priest showed a stern look on his face, raised his hand, and a talisman shone brightly in the sun. Upon seeing this, the fifteen Taoist priests behind him also raised the talisman in their hands.
"Five Thunder Talisman!"
Qin Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at the sixteen Five Thunder Talisman. Three days ago, when he fought with the old Taoist at Tianshi Mansion, the old Taoist cast the Five Thunder Curse, and the Five Thunder Talisman was engraved with the Five Thunder Talisman.
