‘He is my squirrel, and he hides the walnuts every time.
I am a caught lobster, and I take my claws back every time.
He will remember my love for the city, roasting sweet potatoes, hating cauliflower, remembering that the rain stopped and I didn’t have to make tea.
The man who burned the fire paper also burned twenty-two years of memories.
I am stuck on the grave, and every time I see him, my soul is broken.
The dark side of the moon may be riddled with holes, but he is always there in my eyes.’
Liu Hou looked at the letter in his hand with a confused expression.
He stared at the big-eyed ghosts, the long-tongued ghosts and the flatulent ghosts around him.
It's very baffling.
The origin of this letter is a long story.
Actually, it's not that long.
It is now the end of September.
Liu Hou has been at peace since the Shicheng incident and has been recuperating for a long time.
Then I received this letter.
The letter was delivered by an armored horse.
The letter's signature is Xiao Mo Si.
It's an invitation letter.
Invite Liu Hou to participate in the crowning examination for the abbot of Xiaomo Division.
After reaching the sixth level of red fire cultivation, being promoted from a trainee Taoist priest to a formal Huangguan Taoist priest does not just require reaching the level of strength.
Certification is also required.
As mentioned before, the crowning of Huangguan Taoist priests requires an examination.
Generally, Taoist priests take the crowning examination organized by the local government.
Wherever the crown is awarded, you can only accept the task in that place, and cannot cross regions.
This is a rigid rule of the Magic Division.
Xiao Mo Si manages all Taoist sects in the world and has even been recognized by relevant departments.
This kind of recognition has been established by convention for thousands of years.
And every year, Xiao Mo Si will also distribute a thousand jade lots to young disciples with outstanding talents among Taoist sects in the world.
Those who have received the jade sign are equivalent to having tickets to enter the Xiaomo Division unified examination.
Once you pass the exam, it will be recognized throughout the country.
You can cross regions and accept tasks from the lead person anywhere to exorcise evil spirits.
Not only that, but also with the support of many resources from Xiaomo Division, it is very possible for him to soar into the sky.
Every year, these thousand jade lottery sticks will be competed by Taoists all over the world.
Beiyangmen, which was stronger than before, did not grab even one.
Not to mention the weakened Taiyi Sect.
However, this jade sign was due to the love of Xiao Mo Si Hongyun. Hongyun specially gave one to him in order to win over him.
Liu Hou was very grateful.
Because this is indeed a great kindness and will be extremely beneficial to my future development.
The master had taken part in the Xiaomo Division's exam because he got a jade sign, and he even passed the exam.
That’s why I can go to various places to exorcise evil spirits and make money.
He has become the most important money-making master in the ZTE Taiyi Sect.
After all, how many exorcism and demon exorcism jobs can the local government receive in a day?
The Taiyi Sect doesn't bother to do those crooked things and pretend to be gods.
Money comes naturally slowly.
But looking across the country, there is a lot of business.
Even because her master, Ni Yuefei, had passed the exam and was as arrogant as Beiyangmen, the three evil spirits could only lock her soul and force her to submit.
I didn't dare to kill the master casually.
He was also afraid of upsetting Xiao Mo Si.
Not to mention, after achieving good results in the unified examination, he can be favored by the senior management of Snapdragon.
He even directly joined Xiaomo Division and entered the system.
The benefits gained are even greater.
With so many benefits, one can imagine how scarce those who can take the unified examination are.
How fierce is the competition.
So a few days ago, Uncle Nianri was also pouting his beautiful eyebrows and wanted to get a jade sign for Liu Hou.
But after trying many relationships, I found nothing.
Just when she was worried, Liu Hou unexpectedly took out the jade sign that she had longed to get.
Uncle Nianri's eyes widened.
Trembling with excitement.
He grabbed the jade sign and looked at it carefully.
The matter was so important that Ni Yuefei, the master who had obtained the jade sign, was brought over to identify the authenticity together.
Nature is true.
The master was also surprised that Liu Hou could take out the jade sign.
Although her face was still cold and expressionless, it could be faintly seen that she had a happy smile on her face.
Under the guidance of his master Ni Yuefei, Liu Hou applied for registration for the Xiaomo Division Unified Examination on the official website of Xiao Mo Division.
It took more than half a month of patient waiting.
I have been waiting until today.
I've been waiting for this confusing exam notice.
After Liu Hou finished reading, he took a deep breath and felt helpless in his heart: "Can I curse? What does it mean? Did the guy who wrote this invitation letter graduate from writing romantic poems?"
Of course not.
This should be a Tibetan text.
The information about the unified examination is hidden in this text.
Liu Hou touched his chin and kept analyzing: "Morse code? That's wrong.
Bourdon cipher? No, it's not.
It's not like the Salton code either.
Well, even the Caesar cipher cannot perform content replacement... Well, what rules are used?"
Unable to figure it out, Liu Hou planned to use the Heavenly Book to deduce it.
Suddenly, the bald-headed ghost's eyes widened and he realized: "Master, master. This is the code poem invented by Mr. Qi Jiguang Qi."
Liu Hou was stunned: "Are you sure?"
"Yes. Fortunately, the master took me in. I have been staying by the master's side day and night recently. I seem to have regained some of my memory."
The bald ghost laughed and said: "I am sure that this must be the coded poem of Lord Qi Jiguang. I was lucky enough to serve in that army for a period of time. I am very familiar with this coded poem."
Liu Hou was a little surprised.
This bald-headed ghost was obviously not very strong. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be an old ghost from more than four hundred years ago.
"That year, well, it should have been the 41st year of Jiajing reign of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty.
Lord Qi Jiguang was ordered to lead his army from Zhejiang to aid Fujian. Unexpectedly, during the march, his guide collaborated with the enemy, and the troops were led into a side road. The road was narrow and difficult to travel. The troops were attacked from both sides. Although they won the battle, they suffered heavy losses.
Then he led the remaining troops back to Zhejiang.
In order to ensure the security of the letter, the information will not be disclosed.
Lord Qi took the lantern riddles prepared by the people in the city to celebrate the Lantern Festival as a basis, and based on the Fanqie phonetic notation method invented during the Eastern Han Dynasty, he invented a complete set of Fanqie codes.
Information is conveyed through specific cipher codes and the initial consonants and final rhymes of poems. Even if the letter falls into the hands of the enemy, there will be no clue as to why."
After the bald-headed ghost finished explaining, he added: "As long as we decode it through the eight-syllable meaning written by Mr. Qi, this poem can be easily deciphered."
Although the meaning of the eight-syllable character has long been lost, it is not difficult to defeat the ghost.
It squinted its eyes, took apart all the words in the poem, and rearranged them.
After Xumi, he extracted the content hidden in the poem.
——On the evening of the third day of August, Liucheng Riverside Pier.
This should be the time and place to take the unified examination.
The third day of August is on the lunar calendar, which is September 29th this year.
That is tomorrow night.
Liu Hou was overjoyed and patted the dead ghost on the shoulder: "It is still useful to take you in. You have made a great contribution."
The bald-headed ghost said with a sneer: "Since the little one has made great achievements, can the master grant the little one's little wish?"
"explain."
Liu Hou's bold and bold hand.
The bald-headed ghost glanced at the flatulence ghost and the long-tongued ghost beside him, and smiled miserably: "Can you please let the villain enjoy the soul thing and the soul drink to himself for a few days?"
"Soul thing? Soul drink? What is it?"
Liu Hou was stunned.
Reacted immediately.
Damn it, the devil is planning to monopolize the TV remote control and the Coke in the refrigerator.
"That's right!"
Liu Hou ignored the grimacing Flatulence Ghost and the Long-tongued Ghost, and announced that the Headless Ghost would temporarily have control over the Coke and the remote control board during the few days he left.
The flatulence ghost and the long-tongued ghost suddenly became embarrassed and drooped on the ground.
On the other hand, the bald-headed ghost has the ambition of a villain and is arrogant.
One day later, Liu Hou went to Liucheng on the bank of the Yangtze River.
Chapter completed!
