I was an alchemist in those years

After Teng Guoyuan finished hexagram, he paused silently for a moment and then spoke loudly.

"I start with three hexagrams, the first hexagram Huotiandayou hexagram, the second hexagram Tianzelu hexagram, and the third hexagram Lvyu hexagram."

When I heard Teng Guoyuan report the hexagram, I was stunned and whispered in surprise.

"What An Qi said is indeed correct, this Teng Guoyuan does not seem to be an ordinary person."

"Didn't you start trigrams? Can this be called powerful?" Yue Qianling asked in great perplexity.

"Usually the same method is used to form the hexagrams, but the three hexagrams of Teng Guoyuan actually used three different methods to form the hexagrams: Zhouyi Bagua, Wenwang 64 hexagrams and Meihua Yishu respectively, so that the mutual deduction of the three hexagrams will be more accurate. But this is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, it can be seen that Teng Guoyuan has mastered all kinds of divination methods, he is really a master!" I said with admiration.

Teng Guoyuan raised his head and said plausibly to Gu Xiaotian.

"Tianze Lu Gua Hexagram Speech: The phoenix landed on Xiqi Mountain, and the sages came out after a few long sounds. The king of Wen descended from the sky and opened his foundation. He has been rich and prosperous for 800 years, and those who walk on his feet are also creeping. The elephant, the husband phoenix singing Qishan, is the auspicious bird of the phoenix, which is not often seen by people. It suddenly sings on the Qishan mountain, followed by King Wen Zhiye, also known as Shengde, and greatly promoted the Zhou clan."

I bowed my head and thought for a while, then nodded thoughtfully and whispered to myself.

"This hexagram and the first hexagram Huotian Dayou hexagram really complement each other..."

"Good birds choose trees to live in. Fengming Qishan must live in good trees. The first hexagram, Huotian, has a big hexagram. If there is a big one, all big ones, the image of the upper and lower phases, so there is a sign of cutting down trees and touching birds. A person who touches a bird in a tree is a person who sees a sparrow on a tree by chance, wants to touch it, and cuts down the tree for fear that it will suddenly disappear." Teng Guoyuan continued with confidence. "The last hexagram is the Lu hexagram. The bird burning its nest is a great evil. The combination of the three hexagrams is the phoenix falling on the good wood. Someone wants to chop down the wood to catch him, but the phoenix destroys his nest by himself, so that person can't get his wish."

Speaking of this, the corners of Teng Guoyuan's mouth slowly turned up, and he looked at the dish he had chosen in front of him confidently and said.

"This dish should be Phoenix's nest!"

Gu Xiaotian nodded with a half-smile, signaling his subordinates to open it.

Under the silver cover is indeed a plate of delicious phoenix nest!

After Teng Guoyuan sat down, there were still three seats left, and the others still did not move. Although the other contestants had some backgrounds, but today's divination is real. It will be troublesome if you own your own signboard, not to mention that it has been occupied five times now, and the difficulty is getting more and more difficult. If you are not absolutely sure, you dare not try it rashly.

Song Hui is the only one among the participants besides Ouyang Cuo who I know something about. Before Song Hui, he was not in a hurry, as if he was waiting for something. The moment he saw Teng Guoyuan sitting down, Song Hui walked out .

"I'm also here to show my ugliness." Song Hui walked to the table and didn't make a fuss, but looked at the people who had already sat down and said relaxedly. "Congratulations to the four people in front of you who have already sat down. The four of you sit on one side, accounting for the largest number of them. Up, down, and six are just the 37 hexagrams in the gossip of the Book of Changes, the Fenghuo family hexagram!"

I muttered to myself in surprise.

"Unexpectedly, Song Hui is even more powerful!"

"Song Hui didn't even mention hexagrams, how do you know he's good?" Yue Qianling asked curiously.

"It's not that he can't afford hexagrams, but he has no way to start them. The people in front of him have occupied one thing more than three times, and it's useless to occupy it again. During the Song Hui trial, he used the sitting person to make hexagrams, which became variables. It seems that Song Hui's practice in divination and hexagrams has reached the realm of making hexagrams at will."

Song thought about it and slowly raised his head and said decisively.

"The hexagram of the Fenghuo family, a woman cooks well, and the family is auspicious. This time is the time of Hai, and Hai is pig. It can be seen that the cooking ingredient is pork. The dish I chose faces east, and the east is wood. Wood is the main liver, which is pork liver. , the four people in front look like **, hehe, this dish is pork liver!"

**Pork liver is a famous dish in Quanzhou, just as Song Hui calculated, under the untied silver cover, there is indeed a plate of fresh and delicious **pork liver.

There were still two seats left, I didn't move, but Ouyang Cuo finally came out, I raised my head and watched his every move.

"Yan Hui...why don't you choose your dishes?" Lan Qing said anxiously, unable to sit still. "The further you go, the more difficult it is to get the right one. If Ouyang takes the wrong one again, there will be only one position left. The last one is too variable. I'm worried..."

When Yue Leiting heard what Lan Qing said, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and Yue Qianling rubbed his hands involuntarily below, his anxious palms were full of sweat.

Only Xiao Lianshan remained calm all the time, and said disapprovingly.

"Don't worry about it, my brother won't lose. He's just watching the fun. Waiting for the finale, how majestic it will be."

I didn't speak, my stomach was churning and I felt very uncomfortable, but my eyes never left Ouyang Cuo.

Ouyang Cuo stood in front of the table, looked at the five people who had already sat down, and even bowed his hands and said lightly.

"Ouyang Cuo thanked everyone in advance, plus me, a six person, I am the sixth fortune teller, with six variables, over 60 years old is Yang, and under 60 years old is Yin, according to the order of the seats, it is just right Come up with a divination for me!"

Lan Qing didn't speak for a long time, but she nodded sincerely when she heard Ouyang's wrong way of making hexagrams.

"I once heard the master mention that everything in the world is Tao, and Taoism is in it. Ouyang Cuo can have no hexagrams in his hands, but he is free in his heart. He can do whatever he wants, and everything is his hexagrams. This skill is far above the other five. It’s true that there are heaven and there are people outside the sky!”

"I took out the 27th hexagram of Zhouyi, the Yi hexagram, and the elephant said: Sheer Spirit Turtle, watch me eat, which means abandoning my Spirit Turtle, come and watch me eat with my cheeks down..." Ouyang Cuo took it easy said.

"There's nothing else to think about here. It's mentioned that there are turtles. This dish must have something to do with turtles." Xiao Lianshan whispered disapprovingly.

"How can it be so simple? If you rely on the meaning of the hexagram to understand it, then everyone will know how to divination and ask the hexagram. It is far more difficult to break the hexagram than the hexagram. It all depends on one's understanding of Zhouyi gossip and reference to things. Enlightenment." Lan Qing said very calmly.

As expected, Ouyang Cuo shook his head lightly and said meaningfully.

"This hexagram is a false hexagram, trying to cover up the real hexagram. There are five people in front of me. I am the sixth to start a hexagram and change it to the ninth five. For example: Xianbi, the king uses three drives, loses the front poultry, and the townspeople do not warn, auspicious, which means that the king hunts and surrounds the poultry on three sides, but allows the poultry to escape and will not be hunted."

After Ouyang Cuo finished speaking, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly smiled and said calmly.

"If you don't hunt, you don't see blood. This dish should be a beast or something, but when you cook it, you can't see blood. My zodiac sign is chicken, and the dish made of bloodless chicken... Hehe, I just know one, this The dish should be air-dried chicken!"

When the silver cover was lifted, there was indeed a plate of skinny and dried chicken inside.

"After seeing so many dishes, I don't have much appetite for this one, but I can still have a banquet?" Xiao Lianshan said very dissatisfied.

"This is a well-known Tibetan dish. When making this dish, you need a certain technique and the speed must be very fast. The whole process of plucking the hair, removing the viscera, stuffing the seasoning into the belly of the chicken, sewing it, and hanging it in a ventilated place is extremely fast. Bloodletting is not allowed, at this time the chicken must still be alive, and then it crows like a wind chime in the wind and snow, and the scene is very comforting.” Gu Anqi said like a few treasures.

Xiao Lianshan was horrified when he heard that, he never thought that such an ordinary dish could be so cruelly prepared.

There was one last seat left, and when Ouyang Cuo sat down, I walked over and sat down without thinking.

All the people in the courtyard became noisy at the same time, Yue Lei Ting was stunned, and Lan Qing looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Gu Xiaotian was as calm as ever, and with a wave of his hand, the courtyard became quiet again.

"Did you understand the rules I just said?"

I nodded, didn't even choose a dish, pointed to the silver mask in front of me and said with a smile.

"Mapo Tofu!"

Gu Xiaotian frowned, and exchanged glances with Kong Guan and Wei Yu beside him. Compared with the previous six people, I did seem relaxed, and even a little bit at a loss. Without even thinking about it, I blurted out.

The silver cover was slowly lifted, and almost everyone in the courtyard stood up at the same time, wanting to know if what I said was right!
