Chapter 266: The bad luck of the divination, the good luck of the divination
Tortoise shell divination is a divination method with a long history.
Old-school tortoise-shell fortune tellers would put polished animal bones or tortoise shells with holes under spiritual flames and observe the omens burned by the flames to predict bad luck and judge right and wrong.
In modern times, with the rise of various shaman theories and schools, this ancient method of divination has gradually abandoned many traditional conventions - for example, the tortoise shell needs to be a virgin turtle with an even number of years at the foot of Nanshan, and the animal bones need to be born in Muchun.
The shoulder blade of an eight-foot-large bull; for another example, when drilling holes in an oracle bone, you need to choose a good and auspicious day, take a bath, fast, and sacrifice three animals before you can start.
Wizards who have been influenced by modern theory only need to drill a small hole in the correct position of the tortoise shell with a depth, angle, and shape that meets the requirements based on the formulas and theorems listed in the textbook - as long as you strictly follow the standards, even if you are
Use an electric drill to drill holes, and the ghosts and gods won't care about your disrespectful behavior.
Of course, those traditional and old-fashioned divination are still needed.
"In the year of Wuzi, in the month of Renxu, on the day of Bingwu."
"Zhen Yi Ji."
"It's time to travel, open the market, and make alliances."
"It is said that fasting and feasting are prohibited."
"Good luck and good fortune."
"It is said that Italy will be beneficial to the southwest, and Yi will be opened to the east and north."
"It is said that it is not difficult to meet the yin, but it is not an enemy to meet the moon."
Until a piece of tortoise shell was burnt to pieces, Dr. Xiao Da could only say these few words over and over in his mouth, which made Fatty Xin scratch his head.
"Can you speak human language?" The fat man shouted anxiously while packing up the medicine test tubes at hand: "Professor Yi has never given such a confusing answer in class... Moreover, this is a hunting ground, not a fortune teller.
Pavilion, do you need to burn the tortoise shell? Where is your compass?!"
"I just want to be mentally prepared before the divination... After all, today is already very unlucky." Xiao Xiao dropped the tortoise shell, extinguished the spiritual fire, patted the black ashes on his hands, and said slowly: "And, if
I have the level of Professor Yi, why would I form a hunting team with you? The most complicated and obscure part of divination is the inauspiciousness of divination, the good fortune of divination, and the bad luck and disfavor."
"There is no need to look at the bad luck, I just want to know the situation around me now." Zheng Qing wisely gave up the divination content that could not have a clear conclusion, and focused on simpler and clearer parts.
"This is exactly what I want to say...but before that, I want to emphasize it." Xiao Xiao took out a piece of yarrow from nowhere and carefully fiddled with the burned black and yellow tortoise shell on the ground.
, while pointing to the cracked lines on it, he analyzed: "As you can see, the cracks in the middle line of the tortoise shell are deep, and there are many irregular cracks on the edges, intertwined with each other, and the shape is obvious... This means that we will have a lot of trouble.
"
"Without a doubt." Fatty Xin sneered.
Xiao Xiao ignored him and looked up at Zheng Qing: "I remember that Andrew Taylor asked to form an alliance with us before the game. I think now is a good opportunity."
"Andrew? That little wolf cub?" The fat man couldn't help shouting: "He offended the hunting committee people at the beginning. Besides, think about the things he has done before... It is really not right to form an alliance with him.
A clever idea."
"The hunting ground now belongs to that puppet prince!" Xiao Xiao emphasized and glanced at Zheng Qing again.
"I just want to know the situation around us now." Zheng Qing avoided the doctor's question, but spread his hands and emphasized his request.
Xiao Xiao sighed, opened his notebook, revealing several pages of dense formulas and calculation processes, and then stuffed it under the public-funded student's nose: "I just finished the calculations."
"School time, two twenty-seven in the afternoon."
"The environment of the hunting ground is a tropical rainforest; the current temperature is 29 degrees Celsius and the temperature is stable; there is no wind and lack of light. It has great restrictions on strong range magic and has certain weakening of positive energy magic. It is suitable for using curses and potions.
"
"Two miles to the north, there is evil spirit, intensity 7, independent entity; 4-5 miles north to east, also an independent entity, intensity 5; 7 miles east-south, intensity 3; 9 miles northwest, intensity 3-6
Time, should belong to a demon group."
"In short, according to the divination results, it seems that there is no big trouble." After Xiao Xiao finished speaking, he immediately added, fearing that Zheng Qing would let down his guard, "The ones I mentioned before are just those monsters that have clearly marked their identities."
"As for those demons who hide, refuse to show up, and like to ambush, then I can't say for sure."
"That's a hunter thing." Zheng Qing turned his face and glanced at Lanque.
I saw the apologetic hunter sitting cross-legged under the tree, holding his long sword in his arms, as if taking a nap. But after hearing Zheng Qing's words, he nodded slightly, seeming to agree with the captain's opinion
.
"In short, until the situation becomes clear, I do not recommend that the hunting team conflict with any demons or other hunting teams." Xiao Xiao put away his notebook and concluded: "After all, we are still in a very dangerous situation... I still recommend that we fight with other hunting teams.
The hunting team joins forces and advances and retreats together."
Zheng Qing held his chin and said nothing.
"According to what the puppet man said..." Fatty Xin couldn't help but speak again.
"It's His Highness the Puppet." Xiao Xiao corrected patiently: "In its hunting ground, whether we like it or not, we must maintain a certain degree of respect."
The fat man blinked, seeming to think of the two classmates who were chewed up in the small auditorium, and immediately changed his words: "...according to the puppet prince, only one hunting team can be the final winner...even if we are willing to follow
They cooperate, what about them? Do they have the idea of advancing and retreating together?!"
"I believe that every hunting team will have a wise fortune teller." Xiao Xiao expressed his attitude tactfully but firmly.
While he was talking, Zhang Jixin, who had just run away to do basic experiments, had already returned with smoke all over him.
After he handed Zheng Qing the small book full of data, he turned to look at Xiao Xiao, his tone seemed a little rude: "Wise fortune teller? I wanted to complain about you fortune tellers when I was in the small auditorium... you guys
Didn’t you notice it at all? I mean what happened today...didn’t you see any signs?”
"You are also a wizard, have you seen it?" Xiao Xiao retorted.
"There are specialties in the art! As the right assistant of the hunting team, you will naturally take on the responsibility of fortune-telling!" The chief hunter of the sinner immediately kicked the ball back.
Xiao Xiao finally stopped arguing, but sighed and said helplessly: "Omens are everywhere, of course there are... but no one expected it to be so bad."
"Didn't you complain about the hunting team encountering a lot of trouble this morning? Those are all omens."
"It's just that I'm in the middle of the game, and I always think that those omens are related to the outcome of the game on our hunting ground. Who can jump out, thinking that all the hunting teams have been hijacked!"
"Besides, if we can block First University's rescue and wipe out the forces like us freshmen, it is necessary to have the ability to interfere with the diviners... Otherwise, how could they hide it from the school's guardians who are alert at the slightest sign of trouble?
They?!"
The doctor's statement was very reasonable. Zhang Jixin was stunned for a moment, but in the end he still had nothing to say.
