After listening to Old Man Lu's words of analysis and encouragement, Ma Liangxinjia also took this leap and tried.

"You mean, I can really do it?" ”

"Of course, and you have an absolute advantage......"

"What?" Ma Liang was surprised. [Full text reading]

Old Man Lu leaned back in the chair with an indifferent expression, stroked his beard and said slowly: "You Ma Liang, you are the old man's apprentice!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes......"

Ma Liang nodded without hesitation and said.

Wu Qiong and Xiaobai couldn't help laughing, they really didn't understand, whether this old man Lu was full of self-confidence or pretended to be humorous. However, Ma Liang nodded his head very quickly in agreement, and with his serious and narrow smile expression, he couldn't have expressed his meaning more clearly.

"Get ready." Old Man Lu smiled and picked up his chopsticks and said, "Eat." ”

The three of them looked at each other in surprise, Old Man Lu is obviously not the kind of person who likes to joke, and he never shows his ability all the time.

However, Ma Liang and the three of them didn't ask anything more, and each picked up chopsticks to eat.

They didn't know that Old Man Lu actually knew very well that what he just said was obviously funny, but he felt that he needed to do it First of all, he was telling the truth, Ma Liang was his apprentice of the Iron Hexagram Divine Calculation, and his divination and prediction techniques were wonderful, even if he hadn't practiced for a long time, but Ma Liang had a solid foundation in Qimen magic, and there was a famous teacher's guidance, so he could naturally make a long way on the road of divination and prediction: secondly, Old Man Lu needed to give Ma Liang more confidence and a relaxed attitude, Go ahead and face tomorrow's Fortune Prediction Contest.

This contest is very important!

What Old Man Lu wants is for Ma Liang to win the first place in the competition!

Gotta take the first!

The eighteenth day of the lunar month.

The big cold and ugly moon are suitable for the day: the wedding sacrifice is opened, the wood is cut out of the fire, the fire is taboo: the market is opened, the funeral is planted, the travel is shipped, the wind is light and the temperature is suitable.

In the palatial Yalong Bay Resort Hotel, all the tables and chairs that were originally placed in the three medium-sized banquet halls have been temporarily removed, replaced by neatly arranged single desks and a brand new chair, and at half past ten today, an international xìng fortune prediction contest will be held in these three temporarily arranged banquet halls, with more than 200 contestants.

The exact number of participants is unknown.

Because the registration for this prediction contest began in the morning of the same day, the president of the International Association of Easy Learning, the president of the International Symposium on Easy Learning, and a minister of the Provincial Cultural Association jointly accepted the list of people who signed up for the competition in the banquet hall: In addition, how many tables and chairs were arranged in the three banquet halls that were temporarily the most examination rooms were not disclosed to the public for the time being.

Therefore, the specific number of people who signed up for the competition is that the organizers and organizers have no idea in their hearts, let alone the contestants.

It should be noted here that not all those who are invited will participate in the competition, some people simply regard fame and fortune as nothing, and some people pay too much attention to fame for fear of losing face if they do not do well in the exam: or some people simply have no confidence and therefore do not participate in the competition.

Anyway, there's a reason.

While several top experts were discussing the topic of the competition, the contestants had already started to register and enter the arena.

Ma Liang walked to the front of the main table and said to Tan Zhixun: "Ma Liang, a native of Central China. ”

"Hehe, let's draw lots." Tan Zhixun smiled and nodded, while looking at the lottery holder next to him.

Ma Liang casually pulled out one and looked at it that read: 3-82

"Thank you." Ma Liang bowed slightly to Tan Zhixun, then turned around and waved his hand to Lu Xiangan, Wu Qiong, and Xiaobai, who were sitting not far away, and then walked inside with a calm and confident smile.

He was in the third race with seat number eighty-two.

Entering the banquet hall used as a venue, he saw tables and chairs neatly arranged, which made Ma Liang suddenly feel as if he had returned to the class in high school. To be exact, I should have stepped into the examination room during the college entrance examination, because at that time, it was as important as it is now.

There is a suspenseful atmosphere in the examination room.

At this time, there were already thirty or forty people sitting in the hall, and among them, acquaintances would gather together and talk softly. Seeing Ma Liang come in, these people also smiled politely and nodded to indicate that they could participate in this seminar and sign up for the divination prediction competition, indicating that they were all like-minded people, and they were also acquaintances.

It is inevitable that there will be opportunities to meet in the future, so we should be polite to each other.

To Ma Liang's surprise, the black old man Master Ngouwabi, the smiling old woman from Malaysia, Master Zawa, and the two blonde, blue-eyed and tall white men were all in this arena.

While nodding to greet people with a friendly smile, Ma Liang secretly thought: "If Bai Zongshan and Dai Lì and Moss also come, it will really be called fate." ”

Why was it so coincidentally drawn in the same arena?

Sitting at his table, Ma Liang didn't go to chat about anything like others, but picked up the manuscript paper and bell pen that had been prepared on the table very attentively, and began to tell the specific time of today's lunar calendar.

Yi, don't, as well as their own seat number, venue number, seat orientation and other preliminary data, all carefully arranged the formula on the manuscript paper, and began to try to calculate first, what aspects will be involved in today's game topic.

There is a way that stupid birds fly first......

Ma Liang will not really regard himself as the protagonist of the novel because of the encouragement of Mr. Lu, who is omnipotent and invincible, and will win every gamble.

As a newcomer, you have to be cautious.

When Ma Liang pinched his fingers with his left hand seriously, and took a pen in his right hand to calculate on the manuscript paper. He felt someone stop next to him.

"Childish!"

A voice of slight mockery and disdain sounded.

Ma Liang raised his eyes and looked, it turned out to be Bai Zongshan.

But after seeing that Bai Zongshan said this, he did not leave, but looked at Ma Liang with a sneer and provocation on his face, and was stunned, "What can you do to me?" The under-pumping expression.

jī will be law!

If Ma Liang was furious and angry at this time, or used magic, or used his hands to smoke this old girl, he couldn't say that this old guy would find a reason not to participate in the competition, just like touching porcelain or something, anyway, it was you Chinese people who were embarrassed.

Or, Bai Zongshan continued to compete, and if he couldn't win the first place, he would go around preaching how the Chinese people were unfair, which hurt him in advance and affected his performance.

"Master Bai, you are really white enough" Ma Liang smiled and said: "In South Korea, I study Yixue every day and concentrate on learning Confucianism, just this level?" What kind of joke do you dare to say that you want to win the first place in the Divination and Prediction Competition? I advise you to abstain from voting and go back quickly, don't lose your Korean people in China, now you are in the eyes of the Republic of Korea. ”

Ma Liang's series of words made Bai Zongshan a little stunned for a while.

After all, he is Korean, "Although the level of Chinese has reached the level of being able to speak, how can I understand Ma Liang's words in a short time?"

Fortunately, he knew that Ma Liang would not be obedient.

So after thinking about it for a while, I roughly understood what it meant, and suddenly became angry, but I didn't know how to refute it. At this time, there were already many Chinese people in the arena looking at this side, their faces were full of smiles, and some even gave a thumbs up to Ma Liang.

Just now, everyone saw and heard Bai Zongshan find fault and provoke first.

If it weren't for their respective identities, they would have been eager to teach this Korean stick a lesson for Ma Liang.

Bai Zongshan forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, held back his anger, held the shelves of the masters and seniors, and walked to his seat with his head held high.

"Second goods."

Ma Liang muttered, then stood up with a big grin, and bowed his hand to the spectators in a grand manner.

Everyone suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and turned their heads after signaling to Ma Liang.

Bai Zongshan was even more angry, ashamed of his lack of self-esteem, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. But he quickly reacted, and closed his eyes slightly.

Jī will not succeed, but will be disturbed by Ma Liang Jī's anger, which is not good, and it will affect the next fortune prediction.

Ma Liang looked at his watch, it was already 10:15 in the morning.

The question should have been delivered, right?

Scanning the hall, I saw that there were still more than twenty tables free.

And at this time, no one entered the field anymore.

As soon as I thought of this, I saw several staff members walking in with a thick pile of paper, and two experts followed by them.

"The race is about to start, please get ready."

An expert said with a smile.

Without any more nonsense, the staff began to distribute the test questions of the competition to everyone one by one, each test question has five questions, which are written on a piece of paper, and the five pieces of paper are fixed with paper clips and distributed to the contestants.

The topic of this competition, because considering that there are foreign guests from all over the world, so when planning the topic, we should pay special attention to a question that is too related to the domestic situation can not be published, because the foreign guests obviously occupy a disadvantage in this regard: there is also a word measurement is not good, if you play a Chinese character game, simply let the foreign guests write the "Teacher Table" silently, it is obvious that it is bullying......

In addition, the competition questions obtained by the foreign guests were also written by professional translators in the language they understood, so that they could easily go to the competition.

In short, it must be fair and just.

When the competition questions were about to be distributed, another person came to the door, wearing a strange black sè costume, thin and tall, with a yellow-brown face, dry and wrinkled, deep eye sockets, bulging eyebrow bones and nose bones, and a hooked nose. The most palpitating thing is that her eyes always have a faint green glow, which gives people the feeling of seeing an old witch in a cartoon.

This person is none other than the wizard Dai Lì from England, Moss.

The two invigilators naturally recognized Dai Lì and Moss, so they beckoned a staff member to come over, invited Dai Lì and Moss to her seat in English, and then handed her the English version of the competition questions.

Moss didn't even bother to pay attention to the smiling invitation of the waiter, and walked to his seat according to the number with a terrifying and strange cheek.

The staff spoke English and put the competition questions in front of Dai Lì and Moss.

As if no one was around, Moss looked very impolite and arrogant as if he were holding the paper with his long, hooked nails.

The staff looked embarrassed, but they didn't have a seizure, turned around and walked back.

At this point, the competition officially begins.

Two invigilators stood at the front, and several staff members lined up at the base of the surrounding walls of the ballroom to facilitate the service at any time.

Ma Liang withdrew his gaze at Dai Lì and Moss, and secretly slandered in his heart that the sun was "like an old goblin, and he also tǐng takes a pie" If you let your buddies suddenly meet you in the middle of the night, maybe they will take you as a real evil foreign object and clean it up.

Quickly put aside these distracting thoughts in his heart, Ma Liang picked up the exam question and looked at the first question: a few words were written on the paper, "XXXX year and month XXX afternoon XXX o'clock again."

A major car accident occurred in the Wuxi section of the Jiangyi*Wuxi section of the Beijing-Shanghai High Freeze in Jiangsu. A large freight vehicle loaded with steel collided with a large passenger vehicle heading north in the same direction, resulting in the death of 14 people "Two were disabled and 22 were injured to varying degrees."

Contestants are asked to calculate what the numbers in the license plate numbers of these two vehicles are.

After reviewing the topic, Ma Liang couldn't help but turn his head to look at the old black man sitting not far from the side, thinking that even he didn't know the specific situation of the highway in the Wuxi section of Jiang Yīn for a while, wouldn't these foreign guests be even more unlucky? However, he soon found that the foreign guests of the emotional family still have an advantage over him, take a look, the exam paper of the people, there are also simple patterns, indicating the geographical direction and even detailed coordinates......

Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, Ma Liang did not rush to start calculating this question, but continued to scroll down to see what the other four questions were.

At this time, "the other participants have already begun to calculate the first question."

Among these people, some pinched their fingers to calculate, some used a pen to write and draw on the calculation paper, some even took out copper coins, bamboo sticks and other auxiliary tools, and some closed their eyes and began to meditate, and their mouths moved slightly as if muttering something: those foreign guests were even stranger: two white old men with blond hair and blue eyes and broad body "each took out tarot cards and began to calculate: the old lady Zawa from Malaysia was a smiling god, The thin old hand held a string of black sè beads and kept twisting: Bai Zongshan sat there, his upper body was straight, facing peaceful, his eyelids were slightly lowered, and the pen in his right hand was writing and drawing on paper, which was very formal, but he had already tied a white sè on his forehead, good guy, just like the death squad who was going to the battlefield before: Master Ngouwabi, the old black man, because his eyelids were too long, he looked like he was sleeping, but he held a few index fingers in his hands, about half a foot long, seemingly wooden sticks, slowly fiddling on the table, as if carrying heavy things: the most eye-catching should be Dai lì, Moss.

I saw that she was holding a small mirror in her left hand, which was the kind of goose woman with a handle.

Her long, curled nails bared around the mirror and looked eerie and terrifying.

When the right hand is raised, there is no way to pick up the pen because the nails are too long and bent.

However, she didn't seem to mind if she could write the answer, she just put the mirror in front of her face and stared at it with a terrible smile on her face.

Seeing the current appearance of Dai Lì and Moss, several young staff members couldn't help but think of a certain plot in the fairy tale, the magic mirror, the magic mirror, is this world ugly for me, is there anyone who dares to be uglier than me......

Ma Liang turned to the second page of the exam question: it was mimeographed with a black and white pattern, like a small community, and like a university campus, with many buildings of uneven height, as well as open areas such as roads, fences, and fields, as well as trees, green belts, parking strips, and so on.

The paper is small, but the pattern is fine, down to the level of each building, the exterior pattern, and even the number of windows, the parking strip at the edge of the road below.

The edges of the pattern are also marked with arrows up north and down south.

Q: Where here has there been a case of Qiang Yi Jiān, and it has happened several times so far.

Ma Liang looked at the exam question a little big, but he was not attracted by the strangeness of this question, but continued to flip through it and look at the next question.

No one told Ma Liang to go and do the questions like this.

He didn't have such a habit either.

The reason for doing this is because Ma Liang has considered it more thoroughly, with the countless personal guidance and teachings of the old man Lu Xiangan, and the reverse deduction and calculation of "Tui Bei Tu" in recent months, Ma Liang now has a keen insight into the foundation of information in terms of divination and prediction.

He believes that these five pieces of paper and five questions should also be used as basic information for calculations.

In addition, each question is placed on several pages, and it can be used before or after that question.

This information will help Ma Liang to extract the cocoon more clearly, intuitively and accurately from the complex and unpredictable data when calculating each question.

However, Ma Liang himself is not aware of his own elaborate calculation method now, and only four people are using it in this divination and prediction competition.

Two of these four people came out of pure inspiration.

There are also two people who have fully mastered this way of using all kinds of information.

Ma Liang opened the third question.

A very simple series of questions: how many special guests, how many foreign guests, how many ordinary guests were invited to this international symposium on the theory and application of easy learning, and how many people participated in the conference in addition to the staff: in addition, what were the number of people who participated in the prediction competition.

Ma Liang scratched his head, secretly thinking that every question was difficult to do.

Then open the fourth question: ask the contestants to speculate whether there will be a large-scale war involving two or more countries in the world next year, if so, where will it be, and how long it will last After reading the question, Ma Liang was dumbfounded.

Why the do you have this kind of question?

This is the future!

Can't we decide the ranking of the competition today, and we have to wait until next year?

What an international joke, it's not easy for big guys to get together! @。
