At the beginning of the banquet, it was Gu Xiaotian's table that was served first, and the dishes served were exactly the same, but they were covered with a silver cover, and no one knew what was on the plate.

Gu Xiaotian raised his head and said calmly to the people participating in the competition.

"Today I specially invited the chef of Huidexuan to take charge, I hope the dishes can be satisfied, come, don't stand, come and sit!"

I sat down and was stunned for a while, and found that there were only ten seats at Gu Xiaotian's table, Gu Xiaotian, Wei Yu and Kong Guan sat three, and there were seven seats left, and the seventeen people participating in the competition were not enough to sit at all.

"It seems that not everyone can sit down, everyone is a person with a head and a face, of course you can't rush to sit, so let's be happy today, it's better to have fun, what is each dish on the table, even I don't know, if you guess it, sit down, but there are only seven tables, and there is no chance if the seats are full."

Gu Xiaotian said very easily, but I know very well the meaning of Gu Xiaotian's words, if you guess correctly, sit down, if you guess wrong, you have to leave, there are only seven seats, whoever guesses first will be shortlisted, of course, this will definitely not be guessed, the first competition arranged by Gu Xiaotian has begun.

"The plate is blocked by a silver cover, how can you guess this, does it depend on who is lucky?" Xiao Lianshan said dissatisfiedly below. "It's not a trick, and it doesn't have a special function perspective or anything, so who can guess."

I smiled faintly and said calmly to Xiao Lianshan.

"Today's competition is the Taoist five arts, although you can't see what dishes are on the plate, but you can tell the divination and hexagram, this arrangement is also interesting, in a short period of time divination and hexagram, the test is the depth of skill, this can not fool people, the opening will know right and wrong."

I understand Gu Xiaotian's intentions, the first competition is divination, there are seventeen people participating in the competition, and there are only seven seats, indicating that after the first competition, only seven people can enter the next one, divination seems simple, but to accurately predict what dishes are on the plate, there is absolutely no real ability to do it, Gu Xiaotian used this extremely harsh and strict method to select as soon as he came up, it can be seen that Gu Xiaotian is really painstaking for this competition.

The people who participated in the competition all sat in their respective positions and did not move, no one wanted to be the first person to eat crabs, when I looked up, I saw Ouyang Cuo staring at me intently, this person who didn't even find out the details of Huo Qian, always made me feel that he might be the strongest opponent in this competition.

"Since everyone apologizes, then I'll sacrifice the ugliness first."

It was a short, stocky middle-aged man who spoke as he walked to the table.

"Chang Leyuan!" Lan Qing frowned and whispered.

"Do you know this guy?" I asked curiously.

Lan Qing nodded and said calmly.

"Chang Leyuan is talented, since he was a child with a Taoist master to learn art, the Taoist five arts are all refined, to divination is especially good, he only accounts for a hexagram every day, extremely accurate, outside are called Chang Yi hexagram, the traffic in front of the door is crowded, officials and nobles flock to him as a guest."

Chang Leyuan took out six extremely smooth copper coins from his bag, and at first glance, he often played and tossed them, put his hands together and put the copper coins in the palm of his hand, closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment before spilling the copper coins on the table.

"What is he doing here?" Yue Qianling asked curiously.

This is called the hexagram, he used six copper coins, it seems to be with the King of Wen 64 hexagrams to calculate, is the King of Zhou Wen, also known as "King Wen gossip", all the occupants must correct the body and mind, respectful and sincere, with clear money or grams, both hands to hold the Feng, look at the sky high, the heart silently reciting the things that want to hexagrams, even shake a few times, after shaking the money scattered on the table, and then from the bottom to the top of the line. "Lan Qing knows a lot about divination, so just look at Chang Leyuan's movements.

After Chang Leyuan put the copper coin in place, he looked down for a long time and said thoughtfully.

"Lei Ze returns to his sister...... Yuanmu begging for fish?! ”

"What is he talking about, I don't understand?" Xiao Lianshan asked with a frown.

"Lei Ze's sister hexagram is the sixteenth hexagram in the sixty-four hexagrams of King Wen, the hexagram means that the wood is seeking fish, and the hexagram must be in the water, and the tree is not agreeable. I'll explain it to Xiao Lianshan.

Xiao Lianshan's brows furrowed even tighter after hearing this, and he said in confusion.

"I didn't say what kind of dish it was, just these few words can't be compared with the name of the dish."

Gu Anqi glanced at him and whispered angrily.

"Hexagram is the easiest, anyone can make a hexagram, but you have to infer it according to the things you want to predict in combination with the meaning of the hexagram, this is the test of ability, only from the words of the hexagram, of course, you can't see it, you have to go to enlightenment, and you don't understand it."

Chang Leyuan looked at the hexagram on the table silently, slowly raised his head and whispered.

"Lei Ze returns to his sister...... The one who returns to the sister, the girl is the eldest man, and the yin and yang do not intersect, so there is a fate for the image of the wood seeking the fish. The so-called person who seeks fish from the edge of the wood is like a person who wants to take a fish, but does not go to the water to get it, but goes up to the tree to ask for it, how can he get the fish, and the person who takes advantage ......of this hexagram is a sign of unsuccessful hope. ”

Kong Guan looked at Chang Leyuan and said lightly.

"Hexagram you have risen, what is this dish you chose, can you tell me?"

Chang Leyuan didn't seem to hear Kong Guan's words, raised his head and continued to think.

"In the past, Su Qin swam with a sword on his back, and once occupied this hexagram, and sure enough, he met Shang Ying, jealous of his talent, and returned without hitting, just like the omen of Yuanmu asking for fish, the poem said: Yuanmu begging for fish is more obedient, although there is no disaster after the fish, if it is a dangerous trick, it will not be arranged in vain."

Xiao Lianshan saw that Chang Leyuan couldn't answer for a while, and said to Gu Anqi next to him with a smile.

"See, where is there such a godly thing, throw a few copper coins to occupy it, you see Chang Leyuan standing for a long time and can't tell, Leyuan, Leyuan, I think he is not far from crying."

I seemed to think of something, dipped some wine and wrote a few strokes on the table, and then I had my hands covered.

"What do you write?" Gu Anqi poked her head over and asked

"If I'm not mistaken, I already know the name of the dish!"

"Ahh What is it? Xiao Lianshan asked eagerly.

Chang Yuanyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded and said to Kong Guan.

"Yuanmu begging for fish, this dish is related to fish, but the fish is in the water, but you have to go to the tree to find it, Yuanmuqiu fish is the fish on the tree, the fish can't go up the tree, but the squirrel can, hehe, this dish should be squirrel fish!"

"Open!" Kong Guan commanded very calmly.

The hand standing in front of the table takes away the silver cover, the plate is really a bright color, fresh and crispy, sweet and sour squirrel fish, the squirrel fish is named because of the shape, the knife is cut off at the chest, abdomen and fins, the fish head is cut off, and then the knife is cut from the jaw, the fish head is split in half, the knife is slightly patted, the fish meat on both sides is removed, the thin spines on the chest are removed, the fish tail is connected to the oil pan and fried until golden brown, and then poured the sauce platter to become a delicacy.

There was a surprising sound in the courtyard, and even Xiao Lianshan was dumbfounded, and hurriedly pushed away my covered hand, and wrote the words squirrel fish on the table with wine.

“…… Can this really be predicted?! ”

"King Wen's sixty-four hexagrams are very accurate in predicting current events, and Chang Leyuan is not in vain, so it is not difficult to solve this hexagram." I replied.

Yue Qianling had always scoffed at numerology and metaphysics, but after meeting me, after some things, she was somewhat skeptical, and now she was surprised to see that I could predict the name of an invisible dish according to the hexagram.

"You're singing that, you know why don't you go up?"

I smiled wryly and rubbed my forehead, feeling dizzy since the beginning of the banquet, and I felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

"It's a little uncomfortable, let's see, there are still six seats anyway."

Gu Xiaotian looked at Chang Leyuan with satisfaction, and pointed to the seat in front of the table with his hand and said.

"Real people, please be seated! There are still six seats left, whether the mule is a horse or a horse to come out and slip away, and the seats are not waiting for your subordinates to see the real chapter. ”

"I'll lend you three copper coins!" It was a man with a national character face who came out to speak.

Chang Yuan politely pushed the copper coins in front of him, and the middle-aged man tossed the three copper coins back and forth six times, and each time he carefully wrote down the pros and cons.

"Zhou Fu is also here to wade into troubled waters, hehe." Lan Qing smiled thoughtfully and whispered.

"Do you know this person?" Yue Qianling asked. ”

"It's a senior, it's not a wasted name."

Xiao Lianshan saw that Zhou Fu and Chang Leyuan's method of divination was completely different from that just now, and he asked in great puzzlement.

"Brother, just now Chang Leyuan wanted to use six copper coins to throw once, but why did Zhou Fu only use three copper coins and throw six times in a row, what does this mean?"

I smiled and explained calmly.

"The six lines count all the things in the world, the eight characters measure the people in the world, the eight characters are used to measure the people, and the six lines must be used to measure things accurately, and the divination method used by Zhou Fu is the six lines."
