Counting on your fingers, the fifth marriage is coming

Chapter 196 The Eight Immortals Cross the Sea and Show Their Magical Powers

Because in their eyes, Gu Yuejiarong was like a shining gem, polished to perfection in every aspect. Compared with him, they were like gray rough stones. What they would be like in the future remained to be discovered, but at least they were far inferior to him now.

Many people have also heard of Master Gu Yue. With such a powerful figure competing with them for a position in the harem, how could they have the confidence that they could pass the final palace examination?

No, right now even the palace examination is in jeopardy.

Most of the handsome men were hit by Master Xie, General Huo and Gu Yuejiarong, and they felt both uneasy and inferior.

Only a very small number of narcissists and men who are truly outstanding, who firmly believe in themselves, do not give up so quickly.

The first batch of palace selections consisted of 130 people, but only 15 were left after the selection.

This shocking number put tremendous pressure on Xiu Nan behind him.

Isn't this equivalent to only one person being able to stay out of ten?
This is just the palace selection, and it hasn't reached the final palace selection yet. After rounds of eliminations, I'm afraid there will only be a few people left, right?

They speculated, could it be that Emperor Yue was not like the other male emperors in the past who liked to collect all kinds of beauties to fill his harem?

Yes, Emperor Yue was a woman, so she was not as licentious and immoral as Emperor Jing. The number of concubines in her harem ranged from hundreds to thousands.

But in this case, the competition is unprecedentedly fierce.

The next few batches of handsome men who had not yet entered the palace were so worried that they could not sleep at night. After much thought, many of them gritted their teeth and took risks and came up with some evil ideas.

They secretly used various connections to contact some capable people, spent a lot of money to buy various props from them, and planned to use some metaphysical methods to help themselves overcome difficulties or increase their chances of winning.

That night, Xu Shanshan was observing the celestial phenomena when she suddenly noticed some changes around her.

A light pink mist formed on the lake surface that was as quiet as an ancient mirror. It slowly gathered in wisps and was urged to float around her, gently spreading out.

The guards around, the eunuchs and palace maids walking back and forth behind the palace walls, the eunuchs, the lamplighters, and all the other palace servants, all turned a blind eye to this.

Without the "Heavenly Eye", you wouldn't be able to see these.

Then countless densely packed "red ropes" stretched out from it, like a group of pink butterflies, fluttering their wings lightly and entwining themselves around her.

Some were thick, some were thin, but they all chose her as their target and wanted to tie the "red rope" on her body.

She saw the clue at a glance and raised her eyebrows: "Yuehong Rope?"

Such a huge number...

The name Yuehongsheng sounds like Yue Lao's red rope, and in fact its function is similar, which is to force a man and a woman to get together.

If a magician with profound skills ties the "Red Moon Rope" tightly, the man and woman will fall in love at first sight and remain together until death.

If the Taoism is not profound, the "red moon string" will be thin and easy to break, and the man and woman who are being matched together may break up halfway and fall in love with someone else.

Generally speaking, this technique is an unorthodox one, going against people's true wishes and forcing them to match people up, but it has a wide following among the people, and many people use it to gain favor from others.

The breeze blew gently, and under the night sky, every fold and every floor was wrapped with the most intimate and enchanting whispers. Under the swaying shadows of the trees, a figure was curious and puzzled and wanted to reach out, but Xu Shanshan called him: "Smoke slave."

A vague figure appeared quietly and silently.

He lowered his head, his long, gray-black fingers curled together nervously, his lips pressed into a straight line, the peaks of his lips were flattened, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.

"His Majesty."

He thought that His Majesty had seen his unconscious little action just now.

"come here."

The three gentle words made Yan Nu's pupils tighten slightly. He swallowed his saliva quietly and moved forward on his knees.

Seeing this, Xu Shanshan didn't say anything, but took a few steps forward and put a finger on his wet forehead.

"Remember the route in your mind at this moment, take people and follow the path of these red moon ropes to find all the fish that have escaped the net."

"Yes."

After the smokers left, Xu Shanshan did not try to disperse them, but let the "moon red ropes" rush to wrap around her body. She pulled one of them and looked at it: "I didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected gain in the selection of concubines? The hidden fish will surface after throwing some bait..."

On the other side, the mystic who was casting the spell was standing in a painted array. The array was carefully decorated, with an imperial utensil placed at each node. There was an "eye" in the center of the array, and the "eye" was reflected in a mirror.

The "eye" in the mirror has a human eye shape, but a different pupil. It looks like an animal but not an animal, and has a hexagram hole inside.

"I'm entangled!"

A hint of surprise flashed across the magician's face, and then he formed seals with his hands, only to see a "red rope" floating out of the "eye" in the mirror.

It swayed and floated towards a tall hidden man standing not far away. The man was excited and stretched out his hands, saying, "Quick, tie me up."

"immediately!"

The magician wrapped one end of the "Moon Red Rope" around the man and slowly waited for it to disappear into his body. After a while, the man got what he wanted.

"Master, did you succeed?" The man looked down at himself.

The magician affirmed: "Yes, it succeeded."

"Then... as long as Your Majesty sees me, will you fall in love with me at first sight?" The man's voice trembled.

The magician bent down and picked up the strange mirror, revealing a confident yet strange look: "Of course, if you don't believe me, you can try it yourself."

"I believe it. Of course I do."

-

In a dim and damp room, frosty moonlight filtered through the window frames covered with spider webs. Inside the room, a figure hunched over and pulled out a sealed jar from under the bricks and stones underground.

"It finally worked."

A man wrapped tightly in clothes stretched out a hand as white as jade from under his wide sleeves. His five slender fingers pressed on the lid. After taking a slightly deeper breath, he quickly opened the lid.

Immediately, an indescribable airflow emanated from it, red, black, blue and purple, crisscrossing and surging, wrapping the room in a chaotic fantasy.

"With this love Gu, I don't believe I will lose to others."

The man's voice was like a dragonfly skimming the water, passing through the fog and water almost without a trace, whispering softly.

-

In this little-known underground trading ground, those who hide their identities can always get what they want as long as they pay a huge price.

Even if he did so, he would be taking the same huge risk.

Wall after wall was covered with all kinds of talisman papers for sale. These talismans were all very valuable, and the price kept rising according to their grade and function, to the point where even the rich would feel ashamed of themselves for being poor when seeing them.

"I want to ask for a talisman for a smooth marriage." A man said.

"What level do you need?"

"It's best to have a purple rank talisman."

"Purple rank? That price is not cheap..."

"I have money. I want a purple talisman that can outshine all men. Give it to me now."

Another man's voice sounded urgently, and the shop owner selling talismans was speechless when he saw it.

"There is no such talisman in the world. If there is, the price is beyond the reach of ordinary people..."

Before he could finish, another group of customers rushed over: "Shopkeeper, I want a high-level talisman that everyone loves..."

"Is there any talisman paper here that can win someone's heart?"

"Urgent, very urgent, give me a talisman with fair skin and beautiful appearance, I will pay you any amount!"

The shop owner who sells talismans felt his head buzzing. Why were all the customers who came tonight abnormal? The requests they made were unheard of. If they were women, it would be understandable, but they were all men, men!
