"Problematic, problematic. ”

"Huh?"

"I said that there is a problem with those people collected by Xiahou. ”

"Oh~"

"How so?"

The sun is shining and the shadows are colorful.

At both ends of the mountain pass, the desk is lined up on two wings, and the candidates who came to receive the spiritual jade lined up in a hundred and ten long lines, extending from the mountain pass all the way to a hundred zhang away, all in an orderly manner, gradually shrinking.

Xia Xun and Mo Xian led dozens of Yueyangmen Mansion disciples to line up among them.

Duxing fiddled with the small abacus, stood beside Xia Xun and whispered: "The heavenly test is dangerous, if the top three candidates in the literary examination have no power to protect themselves and no cultivators to defend themselves, they will have already given up their trip." And the few candidates who were recruited by Xiahou, three of them ranked last in the martial arts test, and one was in the middle of the literary test, especially that Jia Haoren's cultivation was not a god, even if he had a little knowledge, it stands to reason that he should not be dead face to climb the car of Chunyang. There must be a reason for everything, and there must be a demon in the sneaky, I don't think he will have any good intentions. ”

"Oh, that's it..."

Xia Xun didn't seem to take Duxing's words to heart, and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry, it'll be fine." Since they want to get on the bus, our car is also short of manpower, so it is not in the way to carry it with them. If you come here, you will be safe. ”

“......”

Alone looked at Xia Xun deeply.

There are doubts in the heart, but the doubts are difficult to understand.

If you can see through this matter yourself, you will definitely be able to see it deeper with Xia Xun's wisdom. The trip is full of thorns, and a mistake may be a different place, but why is Xia Xun indifferent to this?

Du Shao worried: "I'm worried that someone is behind them. ”

Xia Xun shook his head at some wonder: "Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat, and the layout of the plan pays attention to the trend, which is not necessarily a bad thing." I'll get the jade first, and I'll talk about it later..."

During the conversation between the two, several of Yueyang's disciples in front of them had already taken away the spirit jade one by one, and it was Xia Xun's turn to walk alone. After that, Xia Xun didn't go down to the bottom of the line with Duxing, and took two steps to the desk and reported his name.

"Beimang-Xia Xun. ”

The invigilator in charge of this column of registration looked up slightly to look at Xia Xun, and then casually took a jade bead from the red iron treasure chest behind him, placed it in front of the desk, and said perfunctorily: "Let's draw blood and charge." ”

Without much thought, Xia Xun took a silver needle from the bamboo tube on the case, gently poked his index finger, squeezed out a drop of blood and smeared it on the jade bead. The jade beads were stained with blood and then filled with a faint green glow, but it soon dimmed, and then Xia Xun picked up the brush and wrote his name on the booklet on the side of the desk and pressed the handprint. After Xia Xun finished the two things, the invigilator took a scroll of maps and handed it to Xia Xun along with the blood-stained spirit jade on the desk, and at the same time did not forget to remind: "The mountain road is rugged, you can ask for more blessings." ”

"Thanks for the reminder. ”

Xia Xun respectfully took the map and the spirit jade with both hands, said a word of thanks, and then turned around and left from the side road.

"Next. ”

"Yue Yang - Alone. ”

"Blood. ”

“......”

After receiving the spiritual jade, Xia Xun walked out of the crowd along the side road...

Since the first batch of candidates who came to receive the jade had already walked seventy-seven, eighty-eight, so the outside of the line was slightly empty. In the distance, you can see Mo Xian waiting on the side of the hill and dozens of Yueyang disciples. In addition, there is a coffin erected in the center of the room. The coffin is particularly eye-catching, and the eerie atmosphere is like the blackened mud in a mass grave, rendering the scorching sun in the sky a slight chill. The deterrent power of the coffin is obviously more terrifying than the Mo Xian of the Vietnam War King Realm yesterday. With the coffin as the center of the circle, no one dared to approach within a radius of seven or eight feet, and even if there were passing candidates, they could avoid it by refusing to pass by the scarlet figure for a few steps, as if they were afraid that this murderous teenager would riot at any time, and they couldn't avoid it.

The so-called nothing is not to go to the Three Treasures Palace, and when you meet on a narrow road, you must also talk about fate. Therefore, Xia Xun knew that Gu Fan would not stand in the way for no reason. Suspicious, he casually touched his index finger to the bridge of his nose. After pondering for a while, Xia Xun then walked slowly towards the coffin. On the edge of the hill a little farther away, although Mo Xian didn't know what Xia Xun wanted to do, he stepped over without a trace. The surrounding candidates secretly looked sideways, and watched carefully from afar...

"Dah. ”

To four feet, Xia Xun stopped, and Mo Xian also came to Gu Fan's side.

Looking at the faint smile on the corner of Gu Fan's scarlet mouth, Xia Xun asked lightly, "Are you waiting for me?"

"Yes. ”

"Looking for me?"

"How could I look for you if you have nothing to do?"

"What's the matter with me?"

The corners of the scarlet mouth curled even more, and Gu Fan said with a sigh of relief: "But remember, I said in Yueyang Tower that you shouldn't be surnamed Xia." ”

"Oh. ”

Xia Xun responded softly, spread his hands indifferently, and asked, "So what?"

"Not how. ”

Gu Fan said: "It's just that now it seems that you really don't have the surname Xia." ”

Xia Xun said: "Don't tell me, you are standing here waiting for me, just to talk about this." ”

"Of course not. "Ancient Buddhism.

Xia Xun hugged his fist and cushioned: "Then please make it clear." ”

Gu Fan's smile gradually showed a deep ruthlessness, and there was an inexplicable regret hidden in the ruthlessness.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "I have debuted for more than ten years, swept the Western Regions, and have never been defeated. Although you won the battle of Yueyang, it was the only shame in my life, and I thought that the trip to Kyoto for the national examination would be a shameful revenge. But..."At this point, Gu Fan seemed to have something unspeakable, and suddenly did not go any further.

"But what?" Xia Xun asked.

Gu Fan restrained his smile a little and continued: "However, after I left Yueyang Tower, someone told me that I couldn't touch you. At least I can't touch you until the national test is over, not even to shoot at you. I was struggling and helpless. ”

"Uh..."

Xia Xun showed a hint of astonishment, there are only a handful of people in the world who can make Gu Fan compromise. And they prevented Gu Fan from doing it, which must contain a deeper reason. Xia Xun scraped the bridge of his nose and thought for a while, before he said lightly: "It's hard for you." ”

"Don't be embarrassed. ”

Gu Fan shook his head: "Because, there are more difficult ones. ”

"Hehe..."

Xia Xun smiled lightly: "Is there anything more difficult for you than not doing it to me?"

"Yes. ”

"What?"

Gu Fan said a little helplessly: "Yesterday, you covered the sky and appeared, and Mo Xian defeated Wei Yan again, and I watched my blood boiling. I thought to myself, even if I can't touch you, at least I can fight you. But afterwards someone said to me, not only can I not do anything to you, but I also have to help you. This made me feel very embarrassed. ”

"Oh, a few uncles and ancestors have also come to Chang'an?"

"Yes. ”

With a moment of astonishment, Xia Xun no longer seemed to be surprised by Gu Fan's words.

Even if the answer is enough to shock and panic many people in high positions.

Xia Xun secretly glanced around, and then asked quietly, "In this way, a few senior uncles and ancestors should be very unconfident in me?"

"Maybe..."

Speaking vaguely, Gu Fan unhurriedly took out a jade bottle the size of two fingers from his arms, and then handed it to Xia Xun.

"Yesterday, when you covered the sky and revealed, she took your soul and used the Liujia funeral technique to hexagram for you. The white tiger is trapped, the greedy wolf eats the red bird, the Xuanwu is indulged, the true dragon is decayed, and the four hexagrams are all extremely fierce. Your journey is destined to be fated to death. There is no solution to this catastrophe, and you can't hide if you want to, you can only have an inch of life if you respond to the catastrophe. You may be able to use it. ”

Xia Xun frowned lightly and took the jade bottle.

As for the four elephant hexagrams mentioned by Gu Fan, Xia Xun actually knew it for a long time, and he was not surprised. Because of similar hexagrams, he had heard and heard about them more than once in the night of the cliff ditch and in the small building of the Hanlin Academy, and now it was the third time. The three hexagrams refer to, all without exception, vaguely pointing to Xia Xun's trip, which will be extremely difficult to live. If it is said that the divination of one person can be called making something out of nothing, and the divination of two people can also be regarded as a coincidence, but the divination of three people can only be an inevitable cause and effect.

Therefore, Xia Xun's trip must be dangerous.

Or rather, death!

"Poof..."

When the jade bottle was opened, a faint smell of blood came to my nose.

Xia Xun squinted his eyes and looked inside, and what was in the bottle was a wisp of blood. The familiar aura made Xia Xun know what it was at a glance. It's just that the purity of this wisp of blood is obviously much weaker than the purity of the wisp of blood on his body, because at this moment he doesn't feel much trance in his consciousness, only a trace of greed that he can't help but want to devour.

"Tsk..."

Xia Xun and Mo Xian glanced at each other tacitly, and Mo Xian frowned. At this glance, he seemed to have guessed what was in the jade bottle. Xia Xun put the lid back on the bottle, and then turned his eyes to look at Gu Fan: "My grandfather once said that the feng shui technique of Uncle Feng Master is so profound that he can be the first person in the world. Since her old man is considered to be a murderer of all four stars, I will definitely die. Presumably, the variables of the number of days should be hidden in the earth's phase, right?"

"Oh?"

Gu Fan squinted slightly, revealing a hint of surprise: "I didn't expect you to know Feng Shui too." ”

Xia Xun said: "There are a lot of books in the village where I grew up, so I learned a lot. I know a little bit about heaven and earth. ”

The bloody lips turned the smile into a sinister smile: "Actually, I really don't want to tell you. ”

Xia Xun also smiled faintly: "But aren't you here just to tell me?"

"Your smiling face is really annoying. ”

"But I want to laugh. ”

"It's not funny at all. ”

"Hehe..."

Similar to the dialogue in Yueyanglou, it is repeated in the present, but the taste has become very different.

Xia Xun smiled indifferently and looked at Gu Fan. Gu Fan clasped his hands in front of his chest, his expression showed a slight disgust, and then he continued: "You are right, the number of days is unique to forty-nine, and the variable is in the earthly phase. The hexagram is like a landslide and drowning, although it is also a very fierce hexagram, but there is one night after a hundred deaths, the mountain can be born by an inch, and you do still have a trace of life. ”

Gu Fan's words were very profound, but Xia Xun could understand them instantly, and his smile gradually turned positive.

Because there seems to be another hexagram in this hexagram that he has witnessed with his own eyes.

After thinking about it, Xia Xun asked, "How did Uncle Shi solve this hexagram?"

This hexagram is also a dead hexagram, and there is no solution. ”

"Why?"

Gu Fan scorned slightly: "The time of the landslide is the day of drowning, and you must die." If you don't die, the heavens will collapse, the earth will be in chaos, and all your lives will be destroyed, and the whole situation will be ruined. So you have to die. It's just that this hexagram has another unpredictable mystery, a hundred deaths are summer, the mountains are down, and the vitality of life seems to be hidden in your name, why is this, even Shi Shuzu can't fully understand it, you need to pay attention to it yourself. ”

"Uh, the day of drowning?"

"Yes. ”

"Why is it another water disaster?"

After the ancient Sanskrit words, Xia Xun was stunned.

In the dark, he was even more sure that this hexagram almost coincided with the one he had seen. It's all water calamities, it's all desperate survival, and it's all vitality that appears in you. And the words that Chunyang's crazy woman once said involuntarily came to Xia Xun's mind: "Is it really a lonely pond of cold plums?"

Seeing that Xia Xun was stunned, Gu Fan said impatiently and contemptuously, "What are you talking about?"

Xia Xun came back to his senses in a trance and shook his head: "No... It's okay. ”

"Hmph. ”

Gu Fan snorted coldly in disdain and said, "It's okay, you can do it yourself." Secretly, everyone is watching you. Your life and death are related to everything behind you and me, I hope you don't really die on Fangcun Mountain. I'll follow you, don't bother me if it's okay. After saying nothing more, Gu Fan hugged his arms, turned around and slowly left with the coffin on his back and the slender figure.

"Wait. ”

But Gu Fan didn't take a few steps before Xia Xun stopped his steps.

Gu Fan turned his face slightly sideways, and asked displeasedly, "What are you going to do again?"

"You do me a favor first. ”

“......”
