Gods and Immortals

Chapter 16: The Test of the Wind

() Priest test, the process is very simple, but the preparation work is more troublesome.

In the priest hall of the college, there is a long stone table.

Upside-down pottery is used on the table to cover ten different items.

Right in front of the stone table, there is a large bronze tripod with flames burning inside, and a priest is beside him, preparing to produce tortoise shell and animal bones for the students to use for testing.

What the students have to do is to trigger their own prediction ability through the priest's divination ceremony. To put it bluntly, it is more like the words and abilities learned by Mo Xuan's later generations.But whether he really has this ability, or is it purely blind, Mo Xuan has never been a priest, and he doesn't know how high the gold content is.

The ten items on the stone table will be replaced every round of divination, so there will be a lot of Yabu-level priests coming in, ready to do service work for the test.

Mo Xuan remembered that in the test in the previous life, the number of correct guesses represented the potential of the priest.The tallest person was able to predict eight kinds of divinations correctly, and the lower ones did not get any divination.Mo Xuan reckoned that he knew nothing about divination by priests, and if the items in the pot were different from his previous life, then he probably was a tragedy with zero talent.

"Before the test starts, I still need to tell you about the pass line." Bu Zheng looked serious, and said to everyone: "If you test three correctly, you are considered a priestly talent. If you test six correctly, you are considered to be relatively talented." If you test nine of them correctly, it is a top priest talent!"

"If you test six or more correctly, there will be some mysterious rewards. If you test ten correctly, there will be a reward that will make all the students in the college excited. But if you get all wrong, I'm afraid I will notify your training camp teachers and give you Do some extra teaching on divination."

After finishing speaking, Bu Zheng beckoned to all the students, "The test is ready to start, the first one, do you want tortoise shells or animal bones?"

The first one to come out was an aristocratic male student who seemed to have had contact with divination before.

After the students asked for the tortoise shells, Yabu, who was assisting at the side, cut holes in the tortoise shells according to the students' intentions, and then the students themselves put the tortoise shells in the cauldron and burned them.

"Crack...knock..."

The tortoise shell was quickly cracked. The student took out the tortoise shell and stared carefully at the lines on the tortoise shell. Feng Wuyi curled his lips while watching, and asked Mo Xuan in a low voice: "Hey, you said he looked so seriously, did he really know?" Or do you pretend to know?"

Mo Xuan shook his head, "I don't know about others, anyway, I definitely won't..."

"What should we do? Is it possible that we all have to go back to add extra classes?" Feng Wuyi didn't care about the mysterious rewards, but was more worried about the results that could not be tested.

Mo Xuan still remembered that the students who failed in the previous life were forced to make up the priest ceremony for a month. It didn't matter whether they took the divination class or not, but as a student of Jin'ao Academy, they must understand the priest ceremony clearly.

In the land of Yin and Shang, where Pepsi asks divination, students who have no knowledge of priests graduate, they are simply people who are in the Jin'ao Academy.

Feng Wuyi sighed, hugged Mo Xuan's shoulders, and shook his head helplessly, "I hope we can get one right. As for the rewards for six or ten correct tests, let's not think about it..."

Mo Xuan deeply agreed.

Seeing that the ceremony was completed for this student, Bu Zheng said loudly, "Read out the divination!"

I thought that this student could only rely on guesswork to ask for divination, but unexpectedly the student closed his eyes slightly, and opened his mouth and said: "Divination of holes and divination is a sign of rain, and the shape of smoke is like a bucket. The first thing should be a water leak."

After finishing speaking, a Yabu stepped forward and took away the clay pot. Mo Xuan, Feng Wuyi and Zi Wang were all dumbfounded.There is really a water leak under the clay pot!

"It's amazing!" Zi Wang exclaimed, as if he was in Chaoge City when he was watching the priest asking divination, completely forgetting that he would have to go up to test later.

Seeing this, Mo Xuan suddenly remembered that he had been exposed to ancient divination knowledge in college.

It is recorded in the literature that there were five kinds of divination during the Yin and Shang Dynasties. The book seems to say this:

"There are five divination signs. It is called rain omen, which is like rain falling. It is called Ji omen, which is like rain stopping. .”

What do you mean?Mo Xuan heard from the professor that it is nothing more than a symbol of the shape of the crack, but no one knows how to connect it with reality.

Almost everyone thinks that these things are just a kind of rhetoric used by the priests to fool the public, and how to speculate actually depends entirely on the mood of the priests.

For example, Mo Xuan, looking at the student in front of him, successfully deduced from the rain omen that it was the result of a water leak.

Although he stared at the curling green smoke from the tortoise shell, he still didn't see where the cloud of smoke looked like a bucket, and he couldn't figure out how he deduced that the object was a water leak. .

But now it turns out that divination still seems to have some mysteries in it.

……

The second round started, and the student continued to burn the tortoise shells. From the second round, a little more lines appeared on the surface of the clay pot.

Mo Xuan heard from the priest in his previous life that these lines have a certain effect of immortality and can block the priest's divination ability, so the further the future, the more inaccurate the result of the divination.

Sure enough, it took the student more than ten minutes to finish burning the tortoise shells in the second round before opening his mouth carefully, "The divination says fog, which is shaped like a flag, maybe... maybe a flag..."

Yabu opened the pot, and it turned out to be a flag.

The student immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Facing the third round, he actually spent half an hour, but unfortunately, he made a mistake in the end and terminated the test.

The people around were watching in complete silence, some students with divination experience were eager to try at this time, and they just waited for their own test to show off their skills.

And students like Mo Xuan, Feng Wuyi, and He Ziwang, who didn't even know how to burn the tortoise shell, could only stare at the test.

Due to the large number of people, this test was suddenly brought forward, so Bu Zheng did not prepare too many test tables.Seeing that hundreds of days could not be finished in one day, Bu Zheng waved his hands and beckoned his subordinates to carry more than a dozen long stone tables.

More than a dozen people proceeded at the same time, and the hall of priests became more lively for a while.

It was not Mo Xuan's turn in the first round, but it was Zi Wang and Feng Wuyi's turn.

It happened that the two were sitting side by side at the table, and Mo Xuan squeezed past them as if seeing a joke.

Sure enough, Yabu asked Feng Wuyi, "How many holes were drilled?"

Feng Wuyi looked embarrassed, he didn't know what the number of holes had to do with the divination itself, he hesitated and said, "Dig it out, cut out ten!"

Ziwang took a look at the side, and immediately followed Chao Yabu and said seriously: "I will also chisel ten!"

Mo Xuan heard a knowledgeable person behind him exclaim, "Are they trying to figure out ten of them at once?!"

Mo Xuan knew that Feng Wuyi was purely blind, but Ziwang chiseled ten more, but he was completely taken into the pit by Feng Wuyi.

Because Ziwang has the talent to practice fairy arts, Mo Xuan didn't want to see him just go by like this, and was about to go up to talk to Ziwang, when he heard Feng Wuyi walking to the side of the stone table with the tortoise shell that had been drilled. Touching his chin, he pointed to the pots one by one and said, "This is a peach! This is a goat's hoof! This is a straw sandal! This is a stone..."

Under everyone's shocked eyes, Feng Wuyi swept across the ten clay pots one by one, and pointed out the contents of the pots one by one.

Give people a confident look, without feeling embarrassed at all.

Yabu stood still, not judging whether Feng Wuyi was right or not, with a sullen face, he pointed to the tortoise shell in his hand, "The tortoise shell in your hand hasn't been burned yet..."

Feng Wuyi stopped suddenly, with beads of sweat running down his head, he threw the tortoise shell into the bronze tripod with a sad face, not daring to look at the black lines on Yabu's face.

Seeing this, Ziwang imitated his appearance and threw the tortoise shell into the bronze tripod. Mo Xuan saw that Ziwang's procedure was still normal, so he didn't say anything more.

When Feng Wuyi's tortoise shells were burned, almost half of the academy had heard about this genius who could occupy ten clay pots at a time, and they all gathered around Feng Wuyi's table, watching intently.

Feng Wuyi became more and more uncomfortable, carefully took out the burnt tortoise shell, and glanced at Yabu.

Yabu stared at Feng Wuyi blankly, without saying a word, waiting for Feng Wuyi to predict.

Feng Wuyi hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Lord Yabu, why don't you open all the jars? Maybe I guessed right just now?"

"Guess right..." Mo Xuan was speechless, and admitted in front of the priest that he had guessed. It seems that there must be no chance to be a priest in the future.

"What was the result of your divination just now?" Yabu asked blankly.

Feng Wuyi touched his chin again, pointed to the first clay pot, and said falteringly, "This, are straw sandals?"

Yabu glared at Feng Wuyi, "Why do you ask me about the divination you did?"

"That's good!" Feng Wuyi blustered, pointed at the clay pot from beginning to end and wove it again, "This is a straw sandal, this is a branch, this is an ox horn, this is a goat's hoof..."

Following Feng Wuyi's instructions, Yabu opened the pots one by one, but Mo Xuan covered his face and dared not look.

As expected, none of the jars got it right.

All the surrounding people snickered and remained silent, Feng Wuji's method was undoubtedly something that those students who don't know how to divination would like to do, but no one had the guts to do it.

This is simply too hated by priests.

To put it bluntly, Feng Wuyi's actions simply treated these priests as idiots!

Mo Xuan could even see Yabu, who presided over Feng Wuyi's divination, and his eyes could almost burst into flames...

Guessing that there was only one left in the end, Feng Wuyi felt a little sorry for seeing Yabu's face turn black.But this test should still be completed, Feng Wuyi gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, pointing to the last clay pot, "Meat! There is a piece of meat in it!"

Yabu had a sinister smile on his face, very displeased and ridiculed, and said slowly, "After returning to the training camp, it is better to study the tutoring priest course well, and don't come out to embarrass yourself again in the future!"

Feng Wuyi was full of frustration, and his mood was very low.

Yabu opened the pot and was stunned.

Not only Yabu, but even Ziwang and a group of onlookers were stunned.
