The next day's competition was scheduled for the afternoon. Yue Qianling looked listless from morning to now, and Chu Tianci knew how to stay away from her.

Compared with yesterday's competition, today's competition seemed more orderly, but the difference compared to yesterday was that there were a bunch of stones of different sizes in the courtyard.

The courtyard looked extra spacious without a banquet. Tea was placed in front of everyone's seat, and those participating in the competition sat at the front.

"I don't know what to compete with today. How did we get so many stones?" Xiao Lianshan asked curiously, staring at the pile of stones.

"That's jade, also called jadeite!" Qiunuo answered. Although he was smiling, his voice was still cold.

Qiunuo is engaged in cultural relic appraisal and has a deep understanding of jade, so he can see it at a glance.

After all, Yue Leiting was a well-informed person. After hearing what Qiunuo said, he looked at the pile of stones and frowned.

"Yesterday, we were doing divination to predict the names of the dishes. Could it be that Uncle Gu wants them to bet on stones today?"

"Gamble on stones?!" Xiao Lianshan was stunned for a moment and asked curiously. "Brother Ting, what's so good about gambling on stones?"

Qiunuo smiled lightly and explained to Xiao Lianshan calmly.

"The so-called gambling on stones means gambling with uncut jade. You must know that it requires deep jade knowledge to see the quality of jade through its outer skin. In today's advanced technology, there is no instrument that can detect it.

When it comes to it, the jade raw materials are excavated, and they are covered with a shell of rock. No one can tell what is inside the shell, so the process of judging jade is called gambling on stones in the industry."

Lan Qing thought for a while, shook her head and said firmly.

"It shouldn't be about gambling on stones. As the saying goes, it's hard for gods to judge jade. No matter how high your level of metaphysics is, you can't see what's inside a stone. What's more, there are five items in the competition. Yesterday's competition was about divination, but today it won't be possible.

Still the same.”

Yue Qianling no longer cares about what is going on today. All she can think about is how she could be stupid enough to buy Chu Tianci Win. How ridiculous it is to place her hopes on a man who will vomit if he smells Mapo Tofu.

tragedy.

While others were still discussing, Gu Xiaotian, Kong Guan and Wei Yu sat down, and the courtyard became quiet.

“It is said that there is no problem with fortune tellers and fortune tellers deceiving people for ten or eight years. They are talking about things that will happen a few years or even more than ten years later. Regardless of whether they are accurate or not, by the time the fortune teller reacts, he will no longer be able to find the person.

"Gu Xiaotian smiled slightly and said deeply. "So I thought of a way to find out whether the seven people present are the magicians of the world, or whether they are straight-faced."

Kong Guan stood up, walked to the pile of stones and said expressionlessly.

"This is jadeite. It was pulled from the mine in Myanmar without any selection. It depends on your ability whether there is jade in this pile of stones and which one is waste stone."

"The rules of the competition are very simple. There are seven of you now, but only five will enter the next round, which means two will be eliminated. How to distinguish the winner? The one who chooses the most valuable stone will win and rank last.

You two are out!" Gu Xiaotian said calmly.

Qiunuo hesitated, thought for a while and said in surprise.

"This batch of jade shells is of various colors, mainly gray-green and gray-black, with varying degrees of transparency, uneven distribution of water quality, and large differences in individual size. It should be that wool from various sites in Myanmar was mixed together."

"What is this conversation about?" Xiao Lianshan asked.

"Why don't you know anything? When betting on stones, you must first know the entrance to the field. In Myanmar, it is called grinding. Different entrances to the field will produce different things. For example, the stones at the two entrances of Stab and Mala will yield more bean greens.

, Lao Pa dared that the entrance to the field was much greener, so he returned to the card field.

The blue jadeite at the entrance is often a bit yellow, and jade at different venues is different. If you know the jadeite at the entrance, you will be more confident." Yue Qianling looked around Qiu Nuo and interrupted, dissatisfied. After all, it was also a business.

As an archaeologist, I have some knowledge in this area.

Qiunuo didn't seem to notice Yue Qianling's dissatisfaction and said seriously.

"Qian Ling is right. There are generally three steps in stone gambling. The first step is to rub the stone, which is also a step that experts will do. Many novices don't understand stone gambling. They just use a hammer to crack the stone when they get it. This way, even if there is a top-notch stone inside,

The jadeite was damaged by this knock. Anyone who knows this business is the best at polishing stones."

"The second step is to cut the stone." Yue Qianling took advantage of Qiunuo's words and took over Qiunuo's words. "In the jargon of stone gambling, it is not an increase if you increase it, but it is considered an increase if you cut it. Cutting the stone is the most critical to whether the stone is valuable.

However, experienced stone betting merchants, as long as the stone is cut and the price rises, they will increase the price and resell it, allowing others to gamble. The risk can also be shared, because stone cutting is very risky, and there is only a slight difference between the price and the price."

Qiunuo smiled and nodded, and when she continued, Yue Qianling said proudly and disapprovingly.

"The third step is to grind the stone. The grinding stone is for polishing and to fully express the transparency, so that people can see its good color or water quality."

"It is precisely because of these three steps that I feel strange. Even among experts, no one dares to say that the stone they choose is definitely good. But most of the seven people participating in the competition probably don't even know these three basic steps.

"It's too childish to ask them to choose stones to determine the outcome. Do they want to bet on luck?" Qiu Nuo said in confusion.

Chu Tianci and the other six people now had similar thoughts to Qiunuo. They were suddenly asked to choose stones to compare their values. Chu Tianci had no idea at all and didn't know where to start.

Gu Xiaotian nodded to his subordinates, and soon seven people came in and stood side by side in front.

"I'm afraid the seven of you know nothing about stone gambling. It's really difficult for you to choose by yourself, so I have found seven experts for you. The people standing in front of you are all hot people in the stone gambling industry, and the seven of you

What you have to do is to select someone from these seven stone gambling experts to help you bet on stones!"

After listening to Gu Xiaotian's words, Lan Qing suddenly understood and said with a smile.

"Uncle Gu's arrangement is really clever. The content of the second competition is fate in the five Taoist arts!"

"Fortune telling?" Xiao Lianshan still didn't understand the meaning of this arrangement and asked curiously. "Aunt Lan, what does fortune mean in the five Taoist arts?"

"The so-called fate is a kind of knowledge that understands life through reasoning about fate, analyzes the influence of the natural sun and moon of the universe on the human body, and then improves human life. There are many main methods used to predict fate, such as Ziwei Dou Shu and Zi Ping Tuo Fate

, the stars meet the sea, etc. The method is based on the time of human birth and the theory of yin and yang and the five behaviors."

Gu Xiaotian stood up and walked slowly to the seven people participating in the competition, and said unhurriedly.

"It is said that destiny is determined by heaven. How much wealth each person will bring has already been predetermined. The seven of you just look at their faces and see who has the most wealth and who is the most prosperous today. Normally, the calculations are all about the future. It's accurate.

No one knows for sure, but today I would like to see who among you can tell the truth and is worthy of being divinely calculated."

Qiunuo was still very confused and shook her head and said in confusion.

"Even if we invite seven experts in the stone gambling industry, stone gambling is never completely sure. It is really a gamble on luck. Such a competition is too formal."

"Uncle Gu actually has a deep meaning in this arrangement." Lan Qing smiled and explained to Qiu Nuo. "It's hard to tell the difference between an immortal and a jade. Just like you said, there is no guarantee when betting on stones. It relies on luck, but everyone's destiny is different.

Depending on the level, wealth and fortune may be high or low. A person with good fortune will certainly have a greater chance of choosing a jade stone. A person with bad fortune may have nothing even if a good jade stone is given to him."

Yan Tongshou had quite a reputation for observing people and judging their lives, so he nodded in agreement.

"This competition is said to be about gambling on stones, but in fact it is about fortune-telling. The purpose of using stones to judge the outcome is to determine the outcome. It is clear at a glance whether the calculation is accurate or not. I have the God-given ability to judge fortunes by observing fortunes.

I saw it with my own eyes and I believe there is nothing wrong with him.”

"I saw it with my own eyes..." Yue Qianling smiled weakly and whispered sadly. "There are many things that may not be true even if you see them with your own eyes!"

Kong Guan took out a sealed paper box, placed it in front of the seven people, and said solemnly.

"For the sake of fairness, whoever chooses first will choose later. There are seven numbers in this carton. You can choose together. You will choose the number you choose. It's up to God!"

Song Hui chose number one.

Yan Tongfu chose No. 2.

Lu Yong chose number three.

Teng Guoyuan chose No. 4.

Chang Leyuan chose number five.

Ouyang chose number six by mistake.

…

When the first six were arranged in order, Lan Qing looked worried and sighed lightly.

Chu Tianci seemed to be fine, holding up the note in his hand with an indifferent expression.

Number seven!

"You can't be so lucky. From one to seven, you can actually choose the last number?" Xiao Lianshan also said regretfully.

"Although Tianci is quite accomplished in observing and judging fate, the six people in front of him are not ordinary people. The higher they go, the greater the chance of winning. But Tianci chose the seventh one, but he didn't even have a chance to choose. The rest were all others.

If people give up, it means that the last remaining people will not look good!" Lan Qing whispered worriedly.

Yue Qianling's heart was completely cold now. After hearing Lan Qing's words, she resented Chu Tianci even more. If he hadn't won the first game so easily, she wouldn't have been obsessed with buying Chu Tianci to win. Now it's better, even in the second game

Can't even get through.

She looked up and saw that Chu Tianci actually dared to smile at her. If it weren't for a competition now, Yue Qianling would have wanted to rush forward and peel off Chu Tianci's skin.

Chu Tianci had a normal smile on his face, because he didn't expect that he would actually get the seventh number. It was a helpless smile, but the one he was most afraid of now was not Chu Tianci, but Ouyang Cuo.

He really couldn't understand the meaning of the smile on Chu Tianci's face. When masters competed, the victory or defeat was just one move away. Besides, there were six people in front of him. Chu Tianci was in the seventh position. It could be said that the competition hadn't started yet.

Tianci had already lost, but Chu Tianci still smiled. Maybe others couldn't understand, but Ouyang Cuo knew very well that Chu Tianci's smile clearly contained a touch of confidence and ease.

It was the last choice, or there was no chance to make another choice. How could Chu Tianci not be worried at all?
