Zhuge Chen smiled lightly, and Quan turned a blind eye. For the so-called human affection, whether it is now or in the past, the white clothes are very light, after all, when the catastrophe is coming, the only person who can believe in it without reservation is himself. Instead of pinning your hopes on others, it is better to climb to the top as soon as possible and overlook the mountains and rivers in the world.

However, after some conversation, Zhuge Chen's impression of down-and-out scholars is still good. Not arrogant, not impatient, neither humble nor arrogant, in today's world, there are very few people who can do this, even if they are self-proclaimed scholars and cultivators, he has really never met a few scholars who can compete with the scholars in front of him. What really made him feel strange was why he wanted to put a layer of scholar's clothes on top of his heart. It is clear at a glance which is more important than the other, and what can be done even if it is carefully disguised? The enemy will always be infected by time, and one day it will reveal its true colors.

Seeing that Zhuge Chen had no intention of talking, the down-and-out scholar no longer brought the topic to this slightly hypocritical, but instead said: "In the past, anyone who can enter the academy is a leader in their respective fields. Looking at the whole world, there are only four academies, and there are countless practitioners and mortals. Not to mention that there are only forty people who have participated in the battle of the four houses, and each of them has a hole card that can fight back. If I had to say it, we'd better not target someone else. It's too dangerous to do this, even if the two of us are confident that we can succeed again and again, but the cost of the war for you and me is undoubtedly huge. And invisibly it will offend a lot of people, but I don't care, I have been like rootless duckweed since I was a child. No matter how many people hate me, or are grateful to me, Dade has never been taken to heart. But Zhuge Chen, you, not necessarily?"

Zhuge Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Scholar, what do you mean by this?"

Literally. The down-and-out scholar continued, "So I think it's better for the two of us to focus on the position where the spell is issued, although there will still be a big fight, but it may not be anyone else who will really benefit from the chaos." I have a lot of confidence in that. Although your realm is only the pinnacle of destiny, if someone dares to underestimate you, I am afraid that the boat will capsize in the gutter. We just want others to believe in our own illusions, pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, and win the top position in this four-house battle in one fell swoop!"

When Zhuge Chen heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Sure enough, there are not many pure and good people who are scholars, but you have to say that I really like it." ”

And while the two were talking, the Tianchi Courtyard Master had already informed their forty academy disciples of the location of the first incantation. And that place is in the difficult book lake below the sect gate of the Tenghuang Sect in the east of the city, and there are more than forty incantations.

Zhuge Chen frowned, and said: "I didn't expect this first battle to be so vigorous, more than forty pieces, if you can get all of them, I'm afraid you won't have to be born and die in the future." ”

Having said that, Zhuge Chen also knew that each of the forty of them was arrogant, and it was impossible for them to act as a shrunken turtle in the first collision. And on that difficult book lake, the snatching of the ownerless spells, as well as the competition for the twelve spells in the hands of individuals, will definitely set off a bloody storm.

As if he had guessed what Zhuge Chen was thinking, the down-and-out scholar said: "Even if it is the pride of heaven in other people's mouths, it is only possible to compare the score with whom." Those who want to prove themselves too much are precisely not confident in themselves. If you think about it, if you are really in the sky, how can you ask yourself if you are a little inferior to others?"

Zhuge Chen opened his mouth and said: "I didn't expect you scholar to live so transparently. ”

"If this were not the case, a poor person like me would have died a long time ago!" seemed to remember the sad thing, and the down-and-out scholar sighed. But then he raised his head, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Let's move quickly, and rush over as soon as possible to seize the opportunity! Even if it is a little late, as long as we can occupy a favorable position, we may be able to be invincible." ”

......

On the edge of the cliff on the Nanshu Lake, Zhuge Chen and the down-and-out scholar stood side by side, because it was very close to the south of the city, so the two did not delay too long to come here. A few days ago, he was just walking around the city, but Zhuge Chen didn't feel it. Today, when I walked against the wind, I found that this city was actually very large, and the alleys were connected in all directions, and the houses were scattered, which seemed to have an unknown exquisiteness.

Bai Yi stretched out his finger and pointed to the houses in the distance, and used his sword qi to disperse the wind on the top of the mountain, and then he spoke: "Scholar, come to my side to take a look, how can these houses look so like a vicious dog from a distance?

The down-and-out scholar looked at the position pointed by Zhuge Chen, frowned and pondered, and then said: "Maybe there is such a layer of meaning in it, but according to my analysis, it is more likely to be the faint overwhelming momentum formed by the series of houses." I just don't know what exactly is winning over there, but looking at its specifications, it will definitely not be simple. ”

After Zhuge Chen heard this, he was a little surprised that the other party would know so much. And the down-and-out scholar only added: "It's all just the surface of what you see in the book, and it's not necessarily correct." But other houses have nothing to do with you and me after all, just treat it as an interesting conversation. ”

In fact, in addition to scholars, down-and-out scholars also have another layer of identity, that is, onmyoji. Divination and fortune telling This is a charlatan in the market, most of the ten sentences are false, and the rest are almost ambiguous, so they can only be called a fortune teller by others. What can be counted is only limited to the "number of mortal lives". But for the Onmyoji, what is involved is the operation of the Heavenly Machine and the Heavenly Dao, and even the ability to avoid evil and seek good fortune one step in advance, which is precisely why the blessing of every Onmyoji is shallow, the life span is extremely short, and the improvement of the realm is extremely difficult. Even if you are a saint, you can't get a long lifespan. Therefore, the conditions for being able to become an onmyoji are extremely harsh, and the reason why the down-and-out scholar still has no name until now is not that he doesn't want to, but that he really can't. Therefore, it seems stupid to evade the accountability of the Heavenly Dao, but it is actually extremely effective. Moreover, the down-and-out scholar is also known as a talent in Zhongxing, and he can calculate the desired result in half a step of the innate way.

And this time, the reason why he found Zhuge Chen so decisively was because of this, the hexagram obtained from divination has always been clear, but only this time it was extremely chaotic. He tried to remove everyone from the hexagram and repeat the old technique, until the stripped person became Zhuge Chen, and then changed to his original appearance again. This is in the hearts of their onmyoji, such a person is called an outlier. And the onmyoji who came to such a conclusion would also face two different choices, and reap completely different endings.

If you turn a blind eye, everything will be as usual, and the Onmyoji will be eaten away by the Heavenly Dao step by step, and finally die. But the second way is to follow the odd number, hoping to find a way to break his own Heavenly Dao curse. Although this is almost impossible, for the Onmyoji, a straw can save lives. What's more, this is still the only life-saving means left by their ancestors, and it is firmly remembered by every onmyoji.

The down-and-out scholar naturally didn't want to die young, so he found Zhuge Chen. Although he didn't notice anything at the moment, he always had a feeling that what he was doing was undoubtedly right. He also made a special calculation for this point, but as he expected, the heavenly machines involved were covered up layer by layer, and he was directly made to lie on the bed bleeding from his seven orifices, and it took seven days to finally recover. But it was still a big injury, and it was only now that it was healed.

The down-and-out scholar sighed softly and said, "Let's just stay by the cliff, those forty or so spells will always appear, so there is no need to worry." ”

Zhuge Chen took out his wine jug and held it in his hand, then nodded and said, "No problem." ”
