(You have been open for almost a month and finally waited for the first recommendation. I was happy and nervous. Tanhua hopes that all book friends will submit a recommendation if you feel good. If you like it, please collect it. Thank you)

================================================================================ After drinking three glasses of wine, the competition officially began. Chu Tianci only knew in advance that the content of the competition was the five Taoist techniques, such as fortune, mountain, fate and fighting, but no one except Gu Xiaotian knew how to compare with Kong Guan and Wei Yu. However, with Kong Guan and Wei Yu, it is probably impossible to make up for the troubled waters.

What surprised Chu Tianci the most was that the seventeen people who participated in the competition were still standing still. I wonder what Gu Xiaotian’s arrangement meant.

The first one to serve the dishes at Gu Xiaotian at the beginning of the banquet was Gu Xiaotian. The dishes served were exactly the same, but they were covered with silver covers. No one knew what dishes were on the plate.

Gu Xiaotian raised his head and said calmly to the people participating in the competition.

"Today I specially invited Chef Huidexuan to take charge of it. I hope the dishes can be satisfied with them. Come and don't stand and sit here!"

Chu Tianci and the others walked over, and just as they were about to sit, they suddenly found that there were ten seats in front of the table. Gu Xiaotian, Wei Yu and Kong Guan sat three, leaving seven seats, but there were seventeen people standing, which was not enough to sit at all. Of course, Gu Xiaotian would not be so confused that he forgot to prepare enough seats, leaving only seven of them with his arrangements.

"It seems that not everyone can sit down. Everyone is well-known, of course, they can't rush to sit down. Haha, this way, everyone is happy today, so it's better to have fun. I don't even know what each dish on the table is. Otherwise, I would like to ask you to guess and sit down if you guess correctly. However, there are only seven tables, and if you sit around, there will be no chance if you have the other people, haha."

Gu Xiaotian said it very easily, but Chu Tianci knew very well what Gu Xiaotian meant. If he guessed correctly, he would sit down. If he guessed correctly, he would have to leave. There were only seven seats, and whoever guessed first would be shortlisted. Of course, this would definitely not be based on guessing. The first competition arranged by Gu Xiaotian has already begun.

"The plate is blocked by a silver cover. How can I guess? Does it depend on who is lucky?" Xiao Lianshan said dissatisfiedly. "Isn't this a trick? I don't know how to see through the special abilities. Who can guess it like this?"

"You talk less. There must be a reason for this arrangement. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense." Gu Anqi glared at him and said in a low voice.

Lan Qing smiled lightly and said to Xiao Lianshan calmly.

"Today's competition is the Five Taoist Techniques. Although you can't see what dish is on the plate, you can tell divination and divination. It's interesting to arrange this way. In a short period of time, it tests their skills. If you can't get rid of people, you will know right or wrong at the opening."

Chu Tianci now understands Gu Xiaotian's intention. The first competition was divination. There were seventeen people participating in the competition, and there were only seven seats, which means that after the first competition, only seven people could enter the next one. Divination seemed simple, but it was impossible to accurately predict what dish was on the plate without real skills. Gu Xiaotian used this extremely harsh and harsh method to select it as soon as he came up. It can be seen that Gu Xiaotian did take great pains to this competition.

None of the seventeen people standing there was a hole first. After all, there was only one chance, and no one wanted to be the first to eat crabs. When Chu Tianci looked up, he saw Ouyang Cuo staring at him intently. Lan Qing said that Ouyang Cuo might be his strongest opponent in this competition, but in Ouyang Cuo's heart, Chu Tianci was not his biggest obstacle.

"Since everyone apologizes, I will give it my ugly words first."

The person who spoke was a short and fat middle-aged man who walked to the table while talking.

"Chang Leyuan!" Yan Tongshou frowned and said in a low voice.

"Do you always know this person?" Yue Qianling asked curiously.

Yan Tongshou nodded and said calmly.

"Chang Leyuan is gifted and has learned skills from famous Taoist masters since he was a child. He is all skilled in Taoist five techniques, and is particularly good at divination. He only records one hexagram every day, which is extremely accurate. He calls him Chang Yigua outside. He is surrounded by traffic and officials and nobles in front of the door. He flocks to him as a guest of honor."

Chang Leyuan took out six extremely smooth copper coins from his bag. He saw that he often threw them. He put them in his hands and put them in the palm of his hand. After closing his eyes and concentrating his heart for a moment, he sprinkled the copper coins on the table.

"Mom, what is he doing?" Yue Qianling asked curiously.

"This is called the hexagram. He used six copper coins. It seems that he used the sixty-four hexagrams of King Wen to calculate it. It was written by King Wen of Zhou, also known as the "Eight Gua of King Wen". Any diviner must be upright, respectful and sincere, use clear money or horns, hold it with both hands, hold it high in the sky, silently recite the matter of the desire hexagram in his heart, shake it several times, scatter the money on the table after shaking it, and then put it into a row from bottom to top." Lan Qing was particularly familiar with divination, so he knew it by looking at Chang Leyuan's actions.

After Chang Leyuan put the copper coins in place, he looked down for a long time and said thoughtfully.

"Lei Ze Guimei Gua... Seeking fish for the wood of the earth?!"

"Aunt Lan, what is he talking about? I don't understand?" Xiao Lianshan asked with a frown.

"Lei Ze Guimei's hexagram is the sixteenth hexagram of King Wen's sixty-four hexagrams. The meaning of the hexagram is to ask for fish from wood. If you want fish from the hexagram, you must go to the water. If you seek it on the tree, you will not be able to meet your feelings. If you get it all, you will not be able to do it without any effort." Lan Qing explained slowly to Xiao Lianshan.

After hearing this, Xiao Lianshan frowned even more and said in confusion.

"I didn't say what kind of dish it is. Just these few words are completely incompatible with the name of the dish."

Gu Anqi said in a low voice to him with a look of anger.

"It is the easiest thing to call a hexagram. Anyone can call a hexagram, but you have to infer it based on what you want to predict and the meaning of the hexagram. This is the task of testing skills. Of course, it cannot be seen from the words and sentences of the hexagram. You have to comprehend it, and you don't understand it even if you say it."

Chang Leyuan looked at the hexagrams on the table silently, slowly raised his head and said in a low voice.

"Lei Ze Guimei Gua... The Guimei Gua is the young girl who follows the eldest son, and the yin and yang do not intersect, so she has the sign of seeking fish from a tree. The so-called seeking fish from a tree is like a person who wants to take fish but does not take it from the water, but goes up to the tree to seek it. How can he get fish? Those who make this hexagram have a sign that the plan is not fulfilled..."

Kong Guan looked at Chang Leyuan and said lightly.

"You have already started to tell me what the dish you chose, can you tell me?"

Chang Leyuan seemed not to hear Kong Guan's words, and raised his head and continued to think.

"In the past, Su Qin was wandering with a sword on his back and once made this hexagram. Sure enough, he met Shang Yang and was jealous of his talent and returned without hitting it. It was like a sign of seeking fish from a tree. The poem says: If you want fish from a tree, you will be very obedient. Even if you can't get a fish, you will be in trouble if you do something dangerous and tricky, you will be in vain."

Xiao Lianshan couldn't answer for a moment when he saw Chang Leyuan, and said to Gu Anqi next to him with a smile.

"See, there is no such a magical thing? You can just throw a few copper coins to take it out. You see, Chang Leyuan stood for a long time but couldn't say it. Leyuan, Leyuan, I see that he is not far from crying."

Lan Qing seemed to have thought of something, and dipped some wine and wrote a few strokes on the table, and then covered it with his hands.

"Aunt Lan, what are you writing?" Gu Anqi leaned over and asked.

"If I didn't infer the mistake, I already know the name of the dish!"

"Ah! What is it?" Xiao Lianshan asked anxiously.

Chang Leyuan suddenly had his eyes lit up, and he nodded and said to Kong Guan.

"Yuanmu is looking for fish. This dish is related to fish. But the fish is in the water, but you have to look for it on the tree. Yuanmu is looking for fish is a fish on the tree. Fish cannot go up to the tree, but squirrels can. Haha, this dish should be squirrel fish!"

"Open!" Kong Guan ordered calmly.

Standing at the table, I took off the silver cover. The plate was indeed a bright color, tender, fragrant, sweet and tasty squirrel mandarin fish. The squirrel fish was named after the similar shape. It was cut by the chest and ventral fin, cut off the fish head, then cut the fish head from the lower jaw, slap the fish head with a knife, pick the fish meat on both sides, remove the fine thorns on the chest, connect the fish tail to fry until golden, and then pour the sauce on the plate of delicacies.

There was a marvelous sound in the courtyard, and even Xiao Lianshan was stunned. He quickly pushed away Lan Qing's hand, and the words "squirrel" were written in wine on the table.

"Aunt Lan... Can you really predict this?!"

"The sixty-four hexagrams of King Wen are very accurate in predicting the current situation. In addition, Chang Leyuan is not a false reputation, so it is not difficult to understand this hexagram. I can calculate it, let alone Chang Leyuan." Lan Qing replied with a shallow smile.

Yue Qianling had always scoffed at numerology and metaphysics, but later, after meeting Chu Tianci, she was somewhat suspicious after some things. Now she saw that Lan Qing could predict the invisible name of the dish based on the hexagrams, and said in surprise.

"Mom, you are so powerful, why do you want my dad to work hard outside? I will take you to Hong Kong. If you predict the ** lottery number, won't you win every day!"

"Sister Qianling, this is not possible. Divination and divination can only ask and predict things, but it cannot change the outcome of future events. This is what the so-called fate is determined by heaven. Even if you predict the number of ** lottery and you win the prize, you should not have such a fortune in your destiny. You not only change your fortune, but also change the fortune of millions of other people. This is against the will of heaven. If you have a fate, you will definitely have no life." Gu Anqi said with a smile.

"An Qi is right, not to mention that King Wen's sixty-four hexagrams can only predict the current situation, but cannot change anything." Lan Qing nodded with a smile.

Gu Xiaotian looked at Chang Leyuan with satisfaction, spread his hand and pointed at the seat in front of the table and said.

"Real material, please sit down! There are six seats left, either mules or horses, and you can't wait for your subordinates to see the real one."

"I borrow three copper coins for you!" The person who walked out to speak was a man with a national face.

Chang Leyuan politely pushed the copper coins to him. The middle-aged man threw the three copper coins back and forth six times, and carefully recorded the positive and negative ones each time.

"Yan Tongfu is also here to wade into the muddy water, haha." Yan Tongshou said in a low voice with a thoughtful smile.

"Do you always know this person again?" Yue Qianling suddenly felt that the name sounded very familiar, and she was stunned for a moment and said in surprise. "Yan Tongfu, Yan Tongshou... is he you?"

"My elder brother!" Yan Tongshou said with a smile. "Compared with Tongfu, my little Taoist skills are all illusions. I learned all these skills from him. I learned some superficial skills and really made some Mingtang. My friend on the Tao asked me Yan Liuzhi for face, but I didn't know that compared to my elder brother, it was almost a hundred and eight thousand miles away."
