In normal times, the divination and divination of Tianji practitioners are basically carried out in private, and ordinary cultivators do not have many opportunities to witness it with their own eyes.
In such a public place, more than a thousand Tianji practitioners perform Tianji techniques together. The visual impact is obviously extraordinary, which is very rare.
The onlookers were watching with great interest.
Due to the prohibition of making noise, the crowds on both sides of the street used sound transmission, and acquaintances commented enthusiastically among each other with expressions of admiration.
Further away from the street, the pavilion windows and vermilion corridors of many tall buildings are also full of people, watching and commenting from a distance.
The Dengxian Tower is the most famous and elegant place for tea and wine tasting in the imperial capital. Together with the Tinghua Tower, which is famous for extravagant entertainment, and Dongxiang City, which gathers business from all over the world, it is known as the "Three Wonders of the Imperial Capital".
Next to the East Market is the Dengxian Tower, and next to the West Market is the Tinghua Tower.
The second floor is jointly listed as the two tallest and most conspicuous commercial buildings with a long history in the imperial capital outside the palace. It is the best place for practitioners with sufficient financial resources to relax and have fun.
Similar to the regulations of Tingting Flower House, Dengxian Tower has nine floors. The higher the floor, the higher the access requirements.
At this time, in an antique window at the highest point of the Dengxian Building, a distinguished woman in a goose-yellow palace dress was standing by the window, silently looking at the Examination Street in the distance.
Unlike last night, the veil covered the face, making it difficult for outsiders to see the whole picture.
As if her mood was complicated, her beautiful golden eyes held a trace of indescribable care and sadness.
Not far behind the woman stood an old woman with immortal bones. She didn't know what the emperor was thinking today, and she was filled with doubts.
Since the empress ascended the throne, she has been promoted to the new building owner. This is the first time that the former building owner in front of her has visited Dengxian Tower again.
Following the rare softened gaze of the majestic emperor and looking towards the direction of the Imperial Examination Ground Street, the old woman couldn't help but fall into deep speculation.
…
Examination Street.
He Gu repeatedly checked the past information of Zhenxihou recorded on the examination scroll, trying to find suspicious descriptions related to the word "gui" reflected in the hexagram.
I looked carefully at each word, but I couldn't find it at all.
There is a map on him that records important places in the entire Xuandao Continent, but there are so many places with the word "gui" in their names that it is difficult to filter them without further clues.
At most, it could be narrowed down to the area west of Zhonghuangzhou where the incident occurred. However, there are still many potential locations to choose from, including more than a dozen.
This is the premise result of his assumption that the person is still in Zhonghuang Continent. If the person is secretly captured by the demons and brought to the Western Demon Territory, there will be more places to choose from.
In the matter of divination, except for external strong interfering factors such as some magic weapons that can shield the prying eyes of heaven, the results will be greatly affected by the fortune of the divination object.
Even if it is the same thing, the accuracy of the divination results at different times will be different due to changes in fortune.
Furthermore, the scale of luck carried by each thing is not equal. The more powerful something is, the more difficult it is to peek into its secrets. No matter how low the fortune is, it is still unmatched by ordinary people and things.
In short, the level of the secret technique corresponds to the scale of fortune, which determines whether effective divination can be performed, while the fortune of the object being divined affects the upper limit of what can be seen.
The luck carried by people like Zhen Xihou is naturally not weak, but He Gu now has the highest level of divination ability, so the results are inevitable.
What he is not sure about right now is whether the hexagram image of the word "Gui" that came out is accurate and complete, and whether there is still room for concealment that is not accurate.
It's just the word "gui" that doesn't seem to be accurate no matter how you look at it.
The Tianji Guapan will not indicate this aspect, and he can only rely on his own subjective judgment.
He Gu has never been a hard-headed person. He immediately changed the direction of his thinking when he noticed that this line of thinking was not very convenient.
Thinking that this was an assessment arranged in advance, and that all the test questions were set up by people in advance, he immediately used this idea to speculate on the thoughts of the question maker.
Since it is for assessment purposes, of course the focus is on testing the candidates' use of Tianji Technique, and reasoning ability should come second.
Suddenly he realized that some of the information recorded in the scroll might be deliberately misleading his train of thought.
Thinking of this, he immediately shifted his focus back to the hexagram that came out.
His thoughts and consciousness were carefully sensed on the Tianji hexagram plate, and soon, a feeling that was definitely not a place name, but more like a description of the state of movement of things was clearly fed back to him.
In an instant, I realized that this "return" is exactly the "return" that means "return"!
In other words, the so-called Zhenxihou will indeed return today.
Unintentionally, this allowed him to master an important deduction technique for the divination power of the Tianji Guapan, and he felt very happy.
But what I am still a little confused about is what exactly does the wisp of unknown black energy shown in the hexagram represent?
Whose danger?
Not wanting to be the first to hand in the correct answer sheet, He Gu resisted the urge to hand it in.
To be cautious, he carefully studied the specific meaning of the black energy.
The time gradually reached four quarters later, and half of the hour was passed. Gradually, some candidates stretched out their palms to cover the desk in front of them and took the risk to hand over their answer sheets.
For a moment, the examination tables on the street lit up with red lights one after another. Unexpectedly, the first few dozen people on the street were unfortunately eliminated one by one.
After a rush of answering questions, the ever-changing red light calmed down the people behind. Many participants immediately resisted the urge and continued to explain the rough answers they had hurriedly deduced.
In an instant, the number of people who took the risk suddenly decreased to only a few.
Far away on the other side opposite He Gu, Tian Qian, who was also meditating with empty hands, focused on the operation of Tian Ji's mental method.
At a certain moment, he opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.
He stood up and stretched out his hand to hand over the answer.
Suddenly, among the uniform red light on the street, a ball of golden light bloomed from the examination table in front of him, attracting the attention of the entire audience.
The assessment has not yet reached five quarters, and finally the first person to qualify has been qualified.
Seeing the light green Taoist robe embroidered with the Tianji Pavilion symbol hexagram pattern on the hem, the faces of the onlookers showed relief, mixed with a bit of envy.
Stimulated by this, the participants who had just become a little cautious rushed to follow up, intending to become the second person to qualify.
In an instant, the red light lit up one after another like flowers blooming all over the place, making the faces of those closest to them darken.
Enjoying the admiring gazes from around him, Tian Qian looked calm and calm, but his eyes slowly turned to the old man on the high platform of the mansion as if inadvertently.
But he was a little disappointed. The old master didn't look at him at this moment.
After all, he was from a large sect, so he quickly adjusted his mentality, stood tall, and waited patiently for the assessment to end.
During this period, I observed He Lian's position in the distance opposite for a while, but didn't see anything.
Little did he know that He Lian's mind at this time was not on divination at all, but was deducing a formation he had just learned recently in his mind.
Not because he had the answers to the exam questions, but because the sect was wary of suddenly arranging for him to come here to take the exam, he simply gave up the exam.
He had been neglecting the practice of Tianji Mind Technique for three years after secretly switching to the formation method, and he no longer cared about this.
Furthermore, knowing that there is little hope of winning the first prize, it doesn’t matter how generous the reward is.
The other side of the examination room.
Sensing a big change in the surrounding atmosphere, He Gu opened his eyes and stood up to find out.
He was slightly distracted when he saw that the first person to qualify was taken by someone from Tianji Pavilion, and his appearance looked familiar.
After a while, I remembered that I had seen this person confronting Jiang Lintian in the secret realm of Tianji where the Blood Lotus of Time appeared. He seemed to be an outstanding disciple of the younger generation of Tianji Pavilion.
He shook his head slightly and stopped paying attention. He Gu sat meditating on the spot again, lost in concentration.
After careful consideration just now, he had thought of a very likely way to solve the puzzle.
That is the unique ability of the Tianji Stone, targeting individual living beings to peek into their recent critical fate summary.
Considering that there is only one chance to submit the paper, in order to ensure that the answer paper submitted is foolproof, I am now ready to boldly try the actual effect of this ability.
The process of peering into the fate of living beings does not take time, and there is no need to worry about being noticed by others. This is one of the main reasons why he suddenly wanted to do this.
I especially remember Phoenix Soul's kind reminder, but you should take action when it's time to take action. He Gu has always been a timid character.
Once again, a trace of blood was extracted from the examination scroll unrolled in his hand. This time, it was not directed to the Tianji Gua Pan, but to the Tianji Stone above it.
There was no obstruction, and the light on the stone surface instantly turned, and the completed wave feedback was instantaneous.
Upon seeing this, he immediately controlled the incarnation of his mind and entered the prophecy space inside the Tianji Stone.
The next moment, with just one glance, he almost regretted it.
Rows of glowing golden words stood vertically. In addition to the original five life prophecies, a new life prophecy was displayed at the end, and the words were filled with blood-red aura.
[Lei Guang: Colluding with the Demons (One Year Later)]
The meaning of only seven words is clear and clear, and it is obvious that they have nothing to do with the current test question!
Not only is it not helpful, but it brings him additional entanglements and only adds to his worries.
Collaborating with the demons is a common crime among humans.
As a member of the human race, especially one who came from the demon-slaying peak respected by the world, in principle he should stand up and expose this matter without hesitation.
But this is Zhonghuangzhou, and the so-called Zhenxihou is a general of the Dawu Dynasty.
My identity must never be exposed, so how can I reveal it!
To put it bluntly, this is a destiny prediction that only the Secret Stone can have. Even if he goes out of his way to reveal it, there is a high probability that no one will believe it since the Secret Stone is hidden and there is no other evidence.
He never expected that the anti-demon general with numerous military exploits on his resume would betray the human race and secretly collude with the demon race a year later.
He Gu's face froze a little, and he couldn't calm down for a while.
It took him a while to calm down, open his eyes and stand up.
Fortunately, it happened a year later. Thinking that after finishing the business, he could leave this domain and return to Wugou Peak to see the beautiful master, there would be a roundabout way to get the best of both worlds.
Compared to outsiders, he firmly believed that Leng Qingzhu would believe what he said and would not get to the bottom of it.
And with Fairy Wu Guo coming to deal with it, he is naturally safe and sound.
After thinking about this, he no longer worries about himself.
Five moments later, there was another silent commotion all around.
Since Tianqian, a new candidate has finally successfully qualified. Judging from the costumes, they are still disciples from Tianji Pavilion.
It seemed that the blowout stage was reached, and then came the third person, this time it was a young man from Zhonghuangzhou.
After returning to his thoughts, He Gu quickly put down his hands and submitted his answer sheet.
As expected, the examination table in front of him suddenly glowed with golden light, making it very dazzling.
After a few breaths, the last golden light also appeared, and instantly, the red lights everywhere stopped competing to light up.
Looking at the entire audience, it turned out that nearly half of the people had been eliminated.
The remaining people immediately adjusted their mentality, no longer hesitated, and concentrated on correcting and perfecting the hexagram conclusions in their minds.
On the steps of the palace gate, the old Imperial Master crushed away the small order of energy that had just been condensed in his withered hands in his wide-sleeved robe without leaving any trace.
There was a faint look of relief on the old face.
Among the people present, only he knew that among the five candidates who qualified early, only He Gu had the most complete answer sheet, which could be regarded as the standard answer.
Just now, he was worried that the little master would be led astray by the misleading information on the scroll because the divination was not comprehensive enough, and he was preparing to tamper with it secretly.
Now it seems that his worries are completely unnecessary.
He is even very optimistic about the subsequent palace examination.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his mission was basically completed, and he could have a good sleep after passing the palace examination tomorrow.
Behind the old man, he noticed a subtle change in the expression on the old master's face. When the cloud shadow was instantly clear, he was quite surprised.
My young master seems to be very powerful, and he has not fallen behind in both dual cultivations.
Overall, he is far superior to other so-called geniuses of similar age in the dynasty.
Knowing that the Lord values him very much and has been worrying about having no successor, I can't help but feel happy for the Lord from the bottom of my heart.
There was also a person on the nine-story vermillion-colored high-rise building in the distance who was affected by it.
Under the noble veil, a hint of doting appeared on the corners of Yurun's lips subconsciously, like an elder treating a close junior.
