Mr. Wu said, "I wonder too. You said that Tianji Gate doesn't want to lose face, this cultivation academy is an important place in the imperial city, and this tower is the important place of the academy, I humiliate them with such fanfare, and no one actually cares about me, isn't it unreasonable at all?"

Canghai shook his head and agreed: "Unreasonable, completely unreasonable." ”

Mr. Wu said: "I waited on the tower for a day, and the onlookers dispersed, and I didn't see anyone paying attention to me. They were all the same as if I didn't exist, and I was so angry. In the evening, when I came down from the pagoda, I met a few disciples from the academy, and I was about to ask for a question, but as soon as they met, they bowed to me. Guess what they call me?"

Canghai said: "What?"

Mr. Wu said: "You may not believe it, but they actually call me dean." ”

Canghai was surprised, and said: "Did they recognize the wrong person?"

Mr. Wu said: "I think so too. The old man is obviously here to make trouble, so many people watch it during the day, and he will be mistaken, which is really disrespectful. But they insisted that I was the dean, even though I was a deputy. He also said that during the day, the tutor in the academy pointed to me on the tower and introduced it to them: Oh, the one above is the new vice president of our academy, called Wu Kongming, if there is anything you don't understand about the Qimen formation, just look for him. ”

Canghai was surprised, surprised, and funny, and said, "Which one is this trouble?"

Wu Kongming said: "I felt inexplicable at the time, so I went to the dean of the academy to ask for an explanation. Without saying a word, the dean threw a red-headed jade book to me. I opened it and saw that his grandmother's, even the official documents had come down, and it was clearly written that I was appointed as the honorary dean of the cultivation academy, and it was also stamped with the official seal. ”

After all, the matter was too bizarre, Canghai opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a while.

Speaking of this matter more than a hundred years later, Wu Kongming still scolded and said, "I questioned him on the spot. But he smiled unhurriedly and said, 'Old witch, you see that this seal is not there, this is not an ordinary seal, but a royal seal. It's the first time for you to be able to ask my emperor to personally name me to serve in the academy. The Yuheng Hall was originally intended to be left to you, and since you have moved in, you will be deemed to have performed your duties. The first time he met me, he called me an old witch, as if I had known him for decades, and he was not ashamed. ”

Canghai only heard the ridicule, and even said: "Weird, weird." ”

Wu Kongming sighed: "As soon as I heard that it was the imperial seal, I knew that I had fallen into a big deal, so I escaped from the academy overnight and went back to the street to find a place to live." But after asking all the inns of all sizes, they were either full or closed, and none of them had a house. Oh, how can the inn be closed, it's clear that someone won't let me stay. ”

Canghai said: "Is it the Tianji Dao Chief?"

Wu Kong said: "Even if you are not the mastermind, you are also an accomplice, otherwise the cultivation academy is related to the future of the country, and I have never met your emperor, how could he appoint an unknown person as such an important dean for no reason." Anyway, the old immortal can't get out of it. ”

Canghai said: "What happened later?"

Wu Kongming said: "Later, I had to go back to this tower to rest. I'm also a formation master, and it's not good to be so wandering that I have to sleep on the street, right? That's how the year I said earlier was wasted. But this consumption is not tight, the people in the academy call me Dean Wu every day, and there are often people who come to me to ask me about the Qimen formation with a dead face, I live in someone else's place, and I can't even say anything about this little help, so I teach. Over time, I, the dean, will be considered to be solid. ”

Canghai said in his heart: "Although the Taoist chief did not come out to learn from him clearly, in fact, in this invisible competition, he has already won a game, but the Wu seniors don't know it." said: "It's not a bad thing for the Taoist to let you in and become an honorary dean, obviously he doesn't have any malicious intentions." ”

Wu Kongming said: "Malice is not malicious, but it makes people very depressed." I asked him later, but by the time he came to see me, things weren't going well. ”

Canghai said: "What...... Is it the enemy who is coming?"

Wu Kongming said: "Yes, he suddenly visited that day, and I thought he had figured out that he was going to fight with me." He made a strange bet with me. He said: "Brother Wu, now that the soldiers are coming to the city, it is the autumn of employing people, you and I compete, no matter who wins or loses, it will inevitably be damaged, and there will be no harm in the overall situation." But you have come thousands of miles for this competition, if I don't allow you, after the war, it will be difficult to guarantee that I can still keep my life, and then I will inevitably regret it. I said, 'According to what you say, it's not like it, it's not like it, it's not like it, what do you want?' and he said, 'Since I'm here today, I naturally want to end the matter between you and me, and we still want to compare, but we don't compare formations, we don't compare fists and feet, we don't compare cultivation.' I said, 'Then what else is there to compare it to?' We cultivators are not better than the formation cultivation, but are we not better than eating and?' He said, 'Well, it turns out that except for the formation cultivation, you don't dare to compare with me. ’”

Canghai blurted out: "He's provoking you." ”

Wu Kongming said: "Of course I know that he is provoking me. But knowing that he was using the method of agitation, he said that he didn't dare to compare with me, so I didn't bother with him? I said, 'Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, so let's tell me first.' If you want me to take more apprentices than you, then don't compare them as soon as possible. ’”

Canghai said: "Well, there are thousands of disciples under the Dao Chief's sect, which is really big compared to this." ”

Wu Kongming said: "Hmph, I'm not that stupid, I will let him make a lot of offers." He said, 'Don't worry, since it is a competition, it must be fair and just, otherwise it will be meaningless to compare, what am I doing here?' I said, 'You just know.' He said, 'Let's guess a bet, and let's see who can guess right, who guesses right, and who wins, and who wins?' ”

Canghai's curiosity was aroused, and he suddenly became interested, and said: "Senior, you can accept it so easily, but you can follow his way." ”

Wu Kongming was stunned and said, "How do you say this?"

Canghai said: "Dao Chief, he knows divination, if he divides the result of the bet in advance, and wants to win you, wouldn't it be nine out of ten." ”

Wu Kongming said: "That's okay." Although I am not proficient in divination, I have a little bit of involvement. The so-called heavenly machine can not be revealed, this technique is in the realm, it is said that it can indeed go back to the past and foresee the future, which can be called a great magic technique, but at the same time there are many taboos. If you break the taboo, you will be unlucky. One of the taboos is to bet. Besides, he may not be able to divinate the bet at that time. ”
