If the red coins on the ground can talk like people.
At this moment, just like a human being, the red gold coin lying on the hunchbacked old watchman's feet proactively, must be tempting to hook his index finger, saying: "Come on, come on, come on, come if you have the ability."
Perhaps he heard a voice in the dark.
The hunchbacked old watchman stopped.
Those cloudy old eyes were squinted. He didn't know if the old eyes were too dizzy to see clearly. He bent down very low and carefully looked at the red coins on the ground.
The lower the head, the shorter it is.
At the end.
Almost the nose, the whole face should be covered with red gold coins on the ground.
The old face was engraved with ugly deep time gaps. In the gloomy darkness, red gold coins were pasted close at hand, and there was an indescribable grotesque atmosphere in the darkness.
Facing the hunchbacked old watchman who was almost on the verge of being stuck, panting and stinking, the red gold coins on the ground were brushed by a divine aura, but suddenly, the aura lightened slightly and then dimmed.
It turned out that the red gold coin was picked up by the hunchbacked old watchman, and then he continued to hit it further.
The hunchbacked old man watchman carrying a lantern, bamboo clapper, and gong continued to make the watch all the way, marching all the way, making a circle around the imperial examination room, telling the time that it is the hour of midnight.
Before the half circle was completed, the hunchbacked old watchman carrying red coins passed an examination room with a wooden sign of "Wu Yin". He is older than the hunchbacked old man watchman, the age of a father who can be a watchman, and an old man in his 70s and 80s who has almost stepped into the coffin with one foot.
Wuyin represents the number fifteen in the heavenly stems and earthly branches.
It is not uncommon in ancient times to still take the imperial examinations at the age of seventy or eighty.
Young people don't work hard.
The elderly are still taking the subject (college) entrance examination (examination).
When a person reaches fifty, he knows the destiny, at sixty, he is sixty, at seventy, he is ancient, and at eighty, he is old (mào) old (dié).
The older a person is, the more he fears death.
Throughout the ages.
No exceptions.
Fifty knows the destiny, and when people get old, they will be more in awe of death and ghosts and gods, and start talking about gods and gods all day long.
It's like this young, hard-working and sad candidate with pale temples, his hands and feet are trembling even when he moves. At this moment, he is not taking the scientific examination well, but he is doing heresy ways, doing divination by ghosts and gods.
However, when taking part in scientific examinations, rare candidates don’t ask how much they weigh in their minds. Instead, they ask the invisible ghosts and gods about how much they weigh in divination.
That is six copper coins.
But I don’t know if it’s not the five emperors’ copper coins.
Divination with copper coins is called "money hexagram" in metaphysics. Of course, in addition to this, there are tortoise shell divination, fortune-telling by lottery and so on.
I saw that ancient examinee take out six copper coins, put them in a turtle shell, hold it with one hand, seal it with the other, and shake it up and down. Then let go of the hand that sealed the seal. The movement was very gentle and careful, and he was more filial than his old mother when she was still alive. Then he poured out the six copper coins in the turtle shell one by one, and finally calculated sixty-four through the Zhouyi gossip. One of the hexagram phases.
Zishi does not ask the gods to ask the hexagrams!
This rare candidate has committed a big taboo in this industry!
However, he didn't realize it. The more he divination, the more excited he became. He didn't even know that every time he divination, his organs were gradually disappearing, and he became a sacrifice in the mouth of greedy ghosts and gods.
In the end, the face of the ancient candidate turned into a faceless candidate, leaving only two dark eye sockets.
It looked terribly creepy.
Seeing the complete process of Fang Zheng, he was shocked.
"Zishi didn't ask the gods to ask the hexagrams. Could it be that the person who is going to be beheaded is this ancient examinee in front of me?"
Perhaps it was to verify Fang Zheng's conjecture.
Like a thunderbolt coming, the majestic voice from the sky once again resounded deafeningly over the imperial examination room.
"Yang is born at midnight, and yin is born at noon! You don't ask God for divination at midnight! You don't eat at noon! Cut it off!"
"Yang is born at Zishi, and Yin is born at noon! You don't ask God for divination at Zishi! You don't eat at noon! I don't believe that I can't kill you, so cut me again!"
"Cut again!"
"Cut again!"
"Cut again!"
Fangzheng was a little horrified to see that as the sound fell again and again, the tortoise shell and six copper coins of the ancient and rare candidates would automatically evolve into one of the eight eight sixty-four hexagrams of the acquired gossip, turning danger into good luck.
Every time I can escape safely.
But everyone's fate is already decided at birth, and if one forcibly changes one's fate against the sky, one has to pay the same price.
This is why it is always said that those who are in the line of divination and fortune-telling are most afraid of revealing the secrets of heaven, and will be punished by heaven. If you are young, your life will be shortened, and you will die young! More seriously, relatives will suffer, families will be destroyed, and people will die in vain!
All I saw was a sleeping examinee whose head fell to the ground in his sleep, and his body and life disappeared, protecting the ancient rare scholar from disaster, and they all walked away peacefully.
Fangzheng finally understood.
All the reasons in the imperial examination room came from something.
The hexagram of money back then probably killed everyone in the imperial examination room!
At this time, Fang Zheng, who was changing the red coins, thought more carefully, the more likely it was.
However, the rare examinee used money hexagrams to prevent disasters, and he himself was not without cost.
Zishi did not ask the gods to ask the hexagrams, only to see that every time the money hexagram is calculated, an organ must disappear in the body of the rare candidates.
As big as facial features and internal organs.
As small as a hair, a finger.
Although he will not die immediately, this way of living is no different from death.
But that ancient scholar still seemed to be unknown, with an excited expression on his face, ignorant of everything that happened outside, just blindly bowing his head and counting fortunes.
puff!
At the broken neck of the hunchbacked old watchman, a bloody arrow flew into the sky, and his head fell to the ground, even he was not spared.
But only Fang Zheng knows.
Just before the hunchbacked old watchman died, his keen soul perception caught a dangerous aura locking him, and the slash just now came straight for him.
It was just that the hunchbacked old watchman innocently blocked the disaster once in the end.
As soon as Fangzheng's thoughts came to his mind, a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart. He had just quit "Huangbaiguan Ideas", and just turned back into the ancestral demon ape, plop!
An arm has been smashed to the ground.
After being chased and killed again and again, Fang Zheng was already familiar with Fang's running and running, and he had no psychological pressure to run.
In the end, he escaped back to Shidaoli smoothly.
"The truth is getting closer..."
"Now we have found the source, but we haven't found where the invisible attack came from..."
At this time, the demon ape, whose soul had grown to a height of ten feet, was standing in the dark and dim stone path. The demon ape stared at the imperial examination room that had regained its calm with a pair of scarlet and scarlet eyes. thinking.
Thinking of this, the demon ape lowered his eyes and showed a solemn expression of thinking.
"Wuyin examination room...ancient rare candidate...money hexagram...Since the source has been found, I just don't know. If I interrupt that seventy-year-old and eighty-year-old candidate to ask God to ask divination, will that majestic voice attack?"
"As long as that majestic voice doesn't attack, doesn't it mean that I can clean up all the ghosts in the imperial examination room without incident?"
Fangzheng was also taken aback by his bold idea.
But think about it carefully.
This is not necessarily without the possibility of success.
But the details have to be considered slowly.
Even if it fails, it's no big deal, it's nothing more than escaping into the stone path again...
But if it can be successfully prevented, the number of candidates in the imperial examination room must be at least a hundred... The number of ordinary runes he lit up in the imperial examination room today is three more than yesterday, and today there are thirty-three ordinary runes!
