How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 725

[725. Chapter 725 Dare you join my team?]

The market was extremely lively.

Although the Lantern Festival has just passed, the streets are still busy with traffic. Countless ladies from wealthy families are traveling in carriages and going on outings.

He was surrounded by maids holding swords.

But more often than not, there are still warriors wearing student Confucian uniforms or wearing swords, with bright eyes and strong energy.

Now that the world has returned to Qian, Emperor Qian took a drastic step and cleared out a group of officials, apparently to arrange seats for Enke’s Jinshi.

In addition, if you join Daqian as an official, you will have the blessing and protection of luck. I don’t know how many students are ready to make a splash in Enke.

Unfortunately, there seem to be too many people. Some students don’t even have a place to stay and have to sleep on the streets.

Fortunately, His Majesty had just come out of seclusion and went to the morning court. He released the Qiankun Bag for the student Wu Sheng to live in, and also gave an order to let the temples and Taoist temples in Yujing give up the courtyard.

This made countless students grateful.

“Stinky tofu, stinky tofu! If it doesn’t stink, it doesn’t cost any money! Come and buy it! If you eat my old Zhangtou’s stinky tofu, you will be as good as your diabetic insipidus and become the top scorer in high school!”

“Rouge, Jumeifang’s rouge, men also eat it Got the rouge~”

“Dear guests, if you are passing by, don’t miss it. Come in and take a look at the Thousand Weapons Shop. The best weapons can cut iron like clay, making you invincible in martial arts. “

“Golden gun medicine, powerful pills, wood lifting pills, the secret recipe for giving birth to a son, everything is available.”

…

In the bustling city, shouts came one after another.

Lu Gan put on a black robe and his appearance changed into that of an ordinary young man. He walked on the busy street and looked around.

The old man suspected of being Mr. Corpse should be nearby.

In order not to alert others, Lu Gan blended into the crowd and searched slowly. Even the Evil Heart Demon Buddha was hidden in the void and did not appear.

“Found it!”

After a cup of tea, Lu Gan walked to the end of the street. When he turned the corner, he saw a stall in front of a small shop in the corner, with a white flag hanging next to it, with a big hexagram written on it. ‘Character.

The stall owner is an old man in gray robes, with gray hair on his temples, slightly thin, one eye is still blind, his blood energy is weakened, and he doesn’t even have the Gang Qi realm.

He doesn’t look like a fairy, and he feels like a liar.

However, in front of the fortune-telling stall, there were two men telling fortunes. One was wearing linen and coarse cloth, with a dark face, about thirty years old, and the other was in a green robe and holding a fan. He seemed to be a down-and-out young man.

Lu Gan pretended not to care and walked over casually.

At this time, the down-and-out young man sat on a chair in front of the stall, threw out a ten-tael silver ingot, opened the paper fan, and asked with a hint of pride in his eyebrows: “Old sir, I want to calculate my future. , let’s see if we can be the most beautiful girl in Enke High School and shine.”

“Haha, it doesn’t matter.”

The old man in gray robe stretched out his hand, put away the silver ingot with a smile, and said, “Young master, you are astonishingly talented when you look at it. Generally speaking, the articles he writes must be splendid and full of brilliance. I am afraid that I will be able to sweep away all the students in the Enke Civil Service Examination.”

“You are indeed accurate! I am a talented person from Zhongzhou! Out of ten fights, I will win nine out of ten!”

The down-and-out young man said proudly.

When the old man in gray robe heard this, his eyes shone brightly: “Young master is really powerful! However, although he is very talented, if you want to be in the top three, I’m afraid it depends on luck.” “

It depends on luck? What do you mean? Don’t fool Xuanxu to defraud people of money. !”

The down-and-out young man snorted, as if he had seen through the old fortune teller’s trick.

The old man in gray robe listened, turned his head with a smile, glanced at Lu Gan who was approaching, and asked meaningfully: “Master Tang, do you think His Majesty Da Gan is handsome?”

Huh?

As soon as these words came out, the down-and-out young man and the dark-skinned man were all stunned.

“What kind of problem is this?”

The down-and-out young master was surprised and said: “Your Majesty is invincible in martial arts. He is indeed powerful. However, his appearance is fierce and slightly evil, and he is not half as handsome as I am.”

In an instant, the old man in gray robe looked over. , with a trace of naughtiness in his smile.

Then, he turned around and said, “Young Master Tang, you can indeed go to high school this time, but your ranking may be a bit unsatisfactory.”

“Nonsense, feudal superstition! Humph!”

When Young Master Tang heard this, he immediately With a cold expression and displeasure on his face, he closed his fan and stood up.

“Ahem, old gentleman, here I am.” At this time, the dark man gritted his teeth and handed out a silver ingot.

“Young Master, you are quite talented. You are as wise as a fool, and you can understand people’s hearts. You can also reach high school. But it’s still the same question just now. Do you think His Majesty Daqian is handsome?”

the old man in gray robe asked with a smile.

“Yes!”

The dark-skinned man nodded heavily and said solemnly: “Your Majesty has a majestic appearance and a talent. Who in the world can compare with your Majesty?”

This sentence is filled with every word, and every word is full of sincerity. Clearly speaking from the heart.

“Haha, congratulations, sir, you are in the top three in high school!”

The old man in gray robe congratulated him.

Hearing this, the down-and-out young man was unhappy and snorted coldly: “Huh! I don’t know what to say. Brother Wang, let’s go! Don’t listen to this old Taoist priest’s nonsense! Go back and study!”

With that, he grabbed the swarthy man and left.

The swarthy man couldn’t resist him, so he could only bow his hands to the old man in gray robe, smile apologetically, and then leave.

At this time, Lu Gan sat down.

Before he could speak, the old man in gray robe smiled and held his hands in congratulations: “Congratulations.”

“Why are you so happy?”

Lu Qian asked with a frown.

The old man in gray robe smiled and said: “Congratulations, sir, we have added two talented assistants. Isn’t this a great joy?”

Bang.

Lu Gan threw a gold ingot casually and said calmly: “I don’t know what you are talking about, but I also want to ask sir to see if, with my talent, I can be a high school scholar in the civil examination?”

“Young Master and Those two people are different. Those two people have average fortunes. I can see through it at a glance. However, the young master is very valuable. I can’t tell for sure, so I can only tell. But I have two rules for fortune telling. One is that I can only tell three fortunes in the morning, noon and evening. It is already evening, the noon fortune has passed, and the evening fortune is still half an hour away. If you want to tell the fortune, you may have to wait for half an hour,”

the old man in gray robe said with a smile.

“Oh? It seems that the old gentleman is somewhat genuine, otherwise he wouldn’t have set such troublesome rules.” Lu Qian frowned slightly.

The old man in gray robe laughed: “Haha, I do have some real stuff, but this rule is just to save my life. If too many secrets are revealed, I may not live to see the day I die of old age.”

“That’s it. “

Lu Gan nodded and suggested: “Since we still have half an hour to wait, how about playing a little game with me?”

“What game?”

The old man in gray robe had a look of interest on his face.

While talking, he took out a wooden sign with red thread from his sleeve and hung it on the bamboo pole next to him.

There are four words engraved on the wooden sign: We are not accepting guests for the time being.

Lu Gan glanced at the wooden sign, looked away, and said calmly: “This game is called ‘Question and Answer’. I ask a question, you answer a question, and then you ask a question and I answer a question. No one suffers, how about it?”

“Hahaha , The young master is really well-calculated, you actually want to trick me with this little game?”

The old man in gray robe shook his head and chuckled.

“Don’t you want to? Then I’m leaving.”

Lu Gan reached out and grabbed the gold ingot on the table, stood up and was about to leave.

“Hey, sir, wait a minute. Please allow me to think about it for a moment.” The old man in gray robe said.

Lu Gan sat down, silent, and waited quietly.

“Okay.”

After three breaths, the gray-robed old man nodded in agreement with a smile, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation: “Then, sir, may I ask first.”

“Are you Mr. Corpse?” Lu Gan asked with a frown.

“Mr. Corpse is just one of my names.” The old man in gray robe nodded and asked with a smile: “So, sir, how did you find me?”

He asked himself that after completing the magical skill, the world and the chaos were all in one thought. He had already blocked Lu Gan, how could he still find him?

Could it be that there is an expert beside Lu Gan who can break through the chaos of heaven and earth? It shouldn’t be, Zhu Qingtang, Evil Heart Demon Buddha, and the Lord of Beiyue Palace are not masters of hexagrams.

Just because he wanted to know the answer, he agreed to Lu Gan to play this game.

Lu Gan pondered for a while and replied: “It is indeed difficult for you to find Mr. Corpse, but I have a magic weapon called ‘Plug-in’.”

“Outer hexagram? Inner hexagram?”

Mr. Corpse glanced at Lu Gan and immediately His face was full of surprise: “There are actually hexagrams in this world that I don’t know about?”

The next moment, blue crystal light appeared in his two eyes, and pictures flashed by quickly, the sun rose and set, Flowers bloom and fade, spring passes, autumn comes, winter and summer reincarnate…

these images flash for nearly half an hour.

In the middle, Lu Gan knocked on the table a few times, but Mr. Shi still didn’t respond. Apparently, like Zhu Qingtang, his computer was down.

Suddenly, Mr. Corpse’s eyes reflected Lu Qian’s face.

puff.

Almost at the same moment, Mr. Corpse’s eyes widened and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale as snow.

“Ahem, cough, cough… Sure enough, the world is infinite and the avenues are infinite. What I have learned is just a scratch!”

Mr. Corpse wiped his lips, took a pill, and his face gradually turned rosy.

There was even more turmoil in my heart.

This guy Lu Gan is not a human being! Not a thing!

He is not between heaven and earth, not among the three realms and five elements!

There is no past!

no future!

Not now!

How could there be such a strange person in this world?

Lu Gan didn’t know the shock in Mr. Shi’s heart, so he stopped talking nonsense and asked directly: “Who is the murderer of the missing child?”

“Sir, wait a moment, let me tell the fortune.”

Mr. Shi’s energy and blood recovered, and he took out nine round-hole copper coins from his sleeve robe and placed them on the table.

These nine copper coins are very ordinary. The front is engraved with a round sky and the place, the back is engraved with the sun, moon and stars, and there is even some blue patina on it.

The next moment, Mr. Corpse took out a palm-sized turtle shell from his sleeve. It was extremely simple and had some burn marks.

He turned the turtle shell upside down, picked up nine copper coins, and threw them in.

Then, he closed his eyes and pinched it with his left and right fingers, looking like a fortune teller.

“Wait a minute!”

At this moment, a voice came from behind. A tall and handsome young man in black, holding a white jade feather fan, walked slowly, took out a Qiankun bag and put it on the table. He said with a smile:

“Mr. Corpse, tonight With a hexagram, I bought it!”

Huh?

Lu Qian’s expression suddenly turned cold.

Dare you join my team?
