The golden-armored leader crossed the partition in the hall and entered the inner chamber.
Different from the bright and graceful dark yellow on the outside of the palace, the interior of this room is all in a simple maroon color. The doors, windows, beams and columns, tables and chairs are all made of wood. When you glance up and down, it is seamless and very comfortable.
At this time, this very spacious inner hall was divided into two rows on the left and right, with twelve semi-enclosed spaces of six partitions in each row. Each compartment was about the size of a bedroom for ordinary people.
The height of the partition walls reached about the chest of the golden-armored leader. Therefore, he could have a clear view of every scene in the interval.
In every interval, there was someone sitting cross-legged.
These twelve people all look very young, and most of them have extraordinary demeanor. Each person's aura is strong or weak, as if their cultivation level is very different, and they seem to be running special skills, which is difficult to distinguish clearly. Each person has a body.
Wearing a pure black coat, it is probably the uniform worn by the peacock clan to perform certain rituals.
In front of each man in black, there is a copper coin the size of a bowl, which is bright and shiny. But unlike the ordinary copper coins with round square holes, this "big coin" does not have one hole, but two holes, one square and one round.
The center of the columns is one on the left and the other on the right. The size of the hole is about a quarter of the entire copper coin.
At this time, in the palace, these twelve double-hole copper coins were floating in the air, slowly turning faster and faster. Until the two holes in the copper coins were no longer visible, only a faint circle was left.
The halo seems to be a flywheel with three layers of colors, only the middle layer is darker.
And these twelve men in black are all holding a thin silver stick in their hands, and they are constantly hitting a gold mace as thick as a finger placed horizontally in front of them, and the rhythm and melody are also constantly changing.
"Mengdong Field Hunting" is a grand event held once every 276 years for the Peacock clan. The most profitable ones are not just the people who win the first prize or are ranked at the top. Its far-reaching influence penetrates into every aspect of the clan.
For example, the scene in front of me is the "Nine Divinations" before the hunting begins.
Foreknowledge, calculation, and inferential prophecy are the most important among magical powers. Since the rise of Taoism, it has occupied an extremely important position in the Three Thousand Lineage. Whether it is a human cultivation sect or a side sect of the demon clan, all
There is this line of inheritance.
The Holy Ancestor of the Peacock Clan, apart from being born into the world and meeting the conditions of the four leaders of Meng Donghui, rarely left any unnecessary guidance regarding the fate of the family, the rise and fall of fortune and misfortune. Every two hundred and seventy-six years
, the person who won the first prize in the meeting was destined to be the leader of the time.
Therefore, this gathering, which is held once every three hundred years, has become an excellent "specimen" demonstration for disciples of the calculus lineage to show off their skills. Calculators are divided into nine types according to their cultivation level.
It is said that the most complicated one can calculate the name, origin, and facial features of the current Meng Dong leader. But this is just a legend. In most cases, if you can achieve half of the Chinese style, it is considered outstanding.
Already.
As for the feat of tracing the whole picture, it has only occurred a limited number of times in millions of years of history.
As for what the twelve people in front of them are doing, it is the easiest one among the "Nine Divinations", and it is also the first one - the so-called "Two Divided Divinations". The result of the divination so far is that a monk in the Nascent Soul Realm is
The results of field hunting.
This divination called 'Double Divination' is just to figure out how the person who wins this time will participate in the meeting. Is he a "Stop Talisman" cultivator who forbids fighting and relies solely on harvesting wild monsters by himself, or is he a practitioner who can plunder and harvest each other?
Those who practice "Zhengfu".
Because the results are not accurate, even if it is purely blind, there is still a 1/2 chance of hitting the target.
At this moment, the large copper coins in front of each of these twelve fortune tellers were spinning rapidly. Accompanied by the sound of each person striking a gold mace, although it was complicated and dense, it was not
It feels noisy and harsh.
Finally, one of them suddenly raised his head. This person seemed to suddenly wake up from the wonderful state of being immersed in the music. His eyes were wide open, and raised veins and wrinkles were faintly visible on his cheeks. His energy suddenly bloomed, showing a
An extremely rare spiritual phenomenon.
The burly golden-armored leader was in a trance, and seemed to be infected by this man's mental outlook.
The man immediately stood up, raised the silver lot in his hand high, held it with both hands, and then suddenly lowered it!
He plunged it in at once, and the large copper coin that was spinning rapidly in front of him made a "ding" sound, then trembled wildly, swaying for a while, and then fell down with a plop.
The leader in gold armor stepped forward and took a look. It turned out that the silver stick was stuck in the circular hole.
The circle means not fighting with the world, and symbolizes the person who holds the "stop talisman". The square shape means the sharp edges and corners, symbolizing the person who holds the "fighting talisman".
The first person's divination result has come out. The first person in this Nascent Soul Realm is a "Zhi Fu" monk who practices self-reliance and personally kills the resentful spirits.
After this person finished, the others were not far behind. They completed the divination one after another. The results were all the same: without exception, the silver lots were inserted into the square holes.
The golden-armored leader saw everything in his eyes, with both the joy of having the answer revealed in advance and a hint of disappointment in his eyes: It seems that this year's "Meng Dong Field Hunting" is another "perennial".
There is another mystery hidden in this method of divination.
As for those advanced methods that strive to divine the names and faces of leaders, let’s not mention them for now. Although those diviners are more sophisticated, their accuracy is really worrying, and they cannot be relied on as regular methods.
However, simple divination such as "two-part divination" actually has important significance. It can be called the "two-way test" that is talked about among the peacock clan.
Because "two-divided divination" is too rough and easy, and the twelve divination people who are qualified to predict "Meng Dongtian Hunter" are all the best in the peacock clan in fortune-telling and magical powers. Therefore, the most common divination is
In the case of divination, all twelve divination people can get the same result, and this result is finally verified to be correct.
This kind of result occurs almost nine and a half times out of ten "Mengdong Field Hunting" meetings. There is a special name for it, called "Xunyi".
The year when the phenomenon of "Xunyi" appears is also called "perennial".
But there will also be some special ones.
According to ancient legends, in some years of the "Mencius Movement", the results of the twelve diviners would be different. Maybe five or six people could predict the circle, and another six or seven could predict the square, but they couldn't agree on one thing.
This rare situation is called "wrong pairing".
The phenomenon of "wrong couple" is enough to illustrate two facts.
First, in the end, the person who won the first prize was not an ordinary person. Instead, he had unexpected great opportunities and great connections. In the future, he will definitely become a big figure with a bright future and far-reaching influence in the Peacock clan.
Secondly, the differences in merit and potential among the twelve diviners are reflected in this difficult problem.
You must know that the success or failure of each person's divination power within the scope of his or her ability can be determined by one word. It is rare to encounter such a situation that can distinguish between superior and inferior. This is also the reason why the Peacock clan will train these diviners in the future.
A revelation was given.
The phenomenon of "wrong pairings" not only shows that the leader of the Hunting Society is an outstanding figure who appears only once every ten million years, but also distinguishes the twelve diviners and selects several promising outstanding figures in the way of fortune.
figure.
Therefore, this is a "two-way test".
In fact, there is a final, more special situation. That is, the results of the twelve diviners are exactly the same - but in the end, it turns out that all twelve people were wrong.
This situation is called "full color". It has only appeared three or four times in the "Mengdong Field Hunting" competition throughout the history. This shows that the person who finally won the "Mengdong Field Hunting" competition this time is really
He is a dragon-like figure. The peacock clan is about to usher in an opportunity to increase their strength.
And even if the twelve diviners make mistakes in their calculations, they will not feel disgraced. On the contrary, the entire peacock clan will have a big celebration to celebrate the birth of another big man with extraordinary luck.
Not long after, the voices in the palace gradually became monotonous. One after another, the eleven diviners completed their calculations. The results were also uniform, signing into the circle.
The unfinished person in the end has a slightly flat nose, a pale complexion, and a slightly short stature. He seems to be in low spirits.
For descendants of the Peacock Demon Clan, the beauty of their human form is closely related to their true appearance as a peacock. This person's name is Kong Quan, and his true peacock appearance is far inferior to that of his peers, and he is not known for his appearance.
Although those with the gift of divination are all extremely noble figures in the peacock clan. But chickens have chicken heads, and phoenixes have phoenix tails. Kong Quan obviously belongs to the first class of "phoenix tails" and is not considered successful among his peers.
.
At this time, Kong Quan was a little restless and had wild thoughts.
A few days ago, he fell in love with a young woman from the "Shui De Palace" who had an extremely outstanding appearance.
The "Water Virtue Hall" is a place where the peacocks who have awakened to the magical power of water gather to study Taoism together.
In terms of blood lineage and genealogical branches, Kong Quan and this woman are brothers, and they can be considered a close match. In terms of the potential of the magical powers they have cultivated, the status of the "Zhanshu" lineage is far higher than that of the "Water Element" lineage
.
However, after expressing her feelings, the woman found that Kong Quan's appearance was not elegant enough, and she actually felt a little disgusted. This made Kong Quan feel depressed and extremely unfair.
At this time, he was restless, and when he saw that the other fortune-tellers had finished doing the magic, he suddenly felt a little panicked. After finishing the divine fortune, he raised the silver pick and plunged it in!
But during this pricking, the woman's beautiful face suddenly appeared in his eyes, and his hands shook involuntarily.
The leader of the Golden Armor was sure that this year would be a "perennial year" and was about to go out to deliver the news to Kong De. But just when he was about to turn around, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Kong Quan holding a silver lot in his palm and accurately inserting it into the square hole of the big money.
.
Not only the golden-armored leader, but the gazes of the other eleven people also gathered together, shining on Kong Quan's face as if they were real.
