Under One Person: Dressed as Lü Liang, with vests all over

Chapter 103 Wu Hou Qi Men, the Art of Divination

Jishidiang, reception room.

When Zhuge Qing followed Lin Yin in, he saw that the room was packed with people.

His eyes, which were originally slightly narrowed, couldn't help but widen slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.

Such a big scene... these people shouldn't be here to welcome him, right?

His eyes first fell on Lin Yin, who had brought him here, and then he looked at the people wearing Nadutong work clothes.

When Lin Yin came to call him, his face was not in a good mood. He refused to say much along the way and just said that he would know when he got there.

Looking at the situation in front of me... this is not a trivial matter.

Zhuge Qing calmed himself down, bowed gracefully to Liu Jingtian, who was sitting in the middle of the hall, and asked:
"Master Liu, I wonder why you called me here?"

When Liu Jingtian saw Zhuge Qing asking questions, he first calmly checked his identity. After confirming that the Zhuge Qing in front of him had not been replaced and was indeed himself, he quickly recounted what had just happened.

Zhuge Qing listened quietly, his eyes still slightly narrowed.

As soon as Liu Jingtian finished speaking, he immediately asked:
"Master Liu, are you saying that the master who just walked in with me is a fake?!"

Liu Jingtian nodded slightly.

In an instant, a glimmer of interest flashed across Zhuge Qing's eyes, which were narrowed to a slit.

This is so interesting!

Thinking back to the relaxed attitude that person had when talking to him, that elder's demeanor... it was just right.

Moreover, when he was stopped by the gatekeeper at the door, the man's reaction speed was textbook-level.

In fact, because of the other party's comments on the Zhuge family, his favorable impression of Jishiditang also increased a lot.

And now, we're telling him that this person is fake?
This is too outrageous!

Then what does my respect and politeness at that time mean? Does it mean... my acting skills are not as good as others?

It seems that the one who should enter the entertainment industry is not Zhuge Qing, but that "Master Liu".

……

Seeing Zhuge Qing's surprised reaction, Lin Yin felt a subtle sense of comfort in his heart.

Zhuge Qing, known as "Fox Zhuge" and famous for his cunningness among the younger generation, was deceived by the fake hall master.

With this comparison, it doesn't seem so difficult to accept that I was deceived.

Zhuge Qing naturally had no idea what Lin Yin was thinking. He raised his eyes slightly, looked at Liu Jingtian, and asked:

"Master Liu, what are your plans next?"

"I'd like to ask, Mr. Zhuge, about that person, did you find any clues just now?"

Liu Jingtian stroked his short gray beard and spoke slowly.

Hearing this, everyone else looked at Zhuge Qing.

After all, among the people present at this moment, Zhuge Qing was the one who had spent the longest time with the "fake hall master".

Zhuge Qing narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then recalled, "At that time, there were indeed some unusual things."

"When we reached the fork in the road, I took the initiative to ask about accommodation. Moreover, after I asked the question, he obviously thought for a while and did not immediately give me directions."

"So, he actually doesn't know where the guest rooms at Jishiditang are!"

Qian Yuan shouted excitedly as if he had discovered a new world, and then he couldn't wait to ask:

"and then?"

"Then," Zhuge Qing paused and turned his gaze to Lin Yin, "he waved and called Brother Lin over, asking him to lead the way for me."

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Lin Yin. Lin Yin's mouth was slightly open and did not close for a long time.

Then he clenched his fists in frustration.

"If I hadn't happened to show up, that person might have been exposed..."

Zhuge Qing glanced at him and said softly, "Brother Lin, there's no need to blame yourself so much."

"Even if he didn't know the way and just pointed to a random one, I wouldn't be able to tell which way it was."

"I'm sure you can't be blamed for this."

Lin Yin remained silent.

At this moment, Liu Jingtian, who was sitting in the middle, spoke again.

"Friend Zhuge, besides this, are there any other clues?"

Zhuge Qing shook his head. "Today, I also have the honor of meeting you, Master Liu, in person for the first time."

"To be honest, based on my brief experience with that fake hall master, there's not much difference between you sitting in front of me and the one I just saw, whether in terms of words, actions, demeanor, or temperament."

At this point, Zhuge Qing raised his eyes slightly and asked, "Master Liu, do you want to find that person?"

Liu Jingtian nodded, "That's right."

"Tomorrow, the competition will begin as planned. If we can find this intruder as soon as possible, I'll feel more at ease."

"Is this so..."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qing narrowed his eyes and a smile appeared quietly.

"Perhaps I can be of some help in this matter."

He explained slowly:
"As a sorcerer, I've all dabbled in divination to some degree, and Wuhou Qimen has always been used to calculate feng shui, numerology, and divination..."

"Not only can you find directions, ask about good and bad luck, and find people and things, but it's also included in this."

"Although the answers obtained through divination are often only a rough and vague direction, in this situation where we have no clue what to do, it may be of some help."

"Great!"

After hearing what Zhuge Qing said, Liu Jingtian and Lao Xu both showed surprise on their faces.

After all, it is better to take the initiative than to be passively defensive.

If they could really use Zhuge Qing's Wu Hou Qi Men technique to calculate that person's current hiding place, they would be able to seize the initiative and take action.

At this time, other people present, including the employees of Nadutong, also showed expressions of interest.

It is a rare opportunity to witness the divination technique of Qimen Bagua with your own eyes.

……

"Then I'll have to trouble my friend Zhuge to take action!" Liu Jingtian raised his hand politely.

Zhuge Qing nodded slightly, with a barely perceptible excitement flashing in his eyes.

He also wants to find out the person who can deceive him in person and see his true face.

Zhuge Qing lightly stepped on the ground with his right foot, and an invisible strange pattern unfolded on the ground with him as the center.

Then, he slowly closed his eyes, and began to make hand gestures quickly with his right hand hanging by his side.

At the same time, his lips moved slightly and he was muttering something, but the voice was so weak that it was impossible to hear what he was saying.

Everyone held their breath, staring at Zhuge Qing silently. Under everyone's expectant gaze...

Zhuge Qing's hand gestures quickened, his fingers rapidly changing into complex gestures. At the same time, his eyeballs under his eyelids were trembling rapidly.

The next moment, something unexpected happened.

"puff!"

There was a dull muffled sound.

Blood suddenly flowed out of Zhuge Qing's nose and the corners of his mouth at the same time. The bright red blood was like a winding little snake, slowly dripping down his chin.

His originally upright figure like a pine tree also shook at this moment.

"Brother Zhuge!"

Lin Yin shouted with concern and reached out to help without thinking, but Zhuge Qing, who had steadied himself, waved his hand to refuse.

At this moment, Zhuge Qing's face was as pale as paper, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, but his slightly narrowed eyes were surprisingly bright.

Just now, the question he was predicting was - "the true identity of the person pretending to be Liu Jingtian."

Just this one question made him cough up blood and almost faint.

I can’t calculate it, I can’t calculate it…

This shows that the secrets behind the answer are too huge and are definitely beyond his reach and knowledge at the moment.

A hint of deep thought flashed in Zhuge Qing's eyes.

Just wanting to make a rough prediction led to such serious consequences... This person's true identity is quite extraordinary.

Zhuge Qing marveled silently in his heart, and a strong curiosity burned in his heart like a raging fire.

and……

Zhuge Qing was very familiar with this strange yet familiar situation, because he had just experienced a similar scene the day before yesterday.

At that time, when he was trying to divine the general situation of the person or thing that changed his chances, he suddenly coughed up blood and suffered severe injuries.

His squinting eyes suddenly lit up, and a bold guess flashed through his mind.

Could it be that the vague guidance that previously pointed to Jishidiang was referring to this person?
Because the person who changed his chance came to Jishidiang, the clues point to Jishidiang.

The more Zhuge Qing thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high.

So, he closed his eyes again, let the energy flow through his body, and prepared to start over and ask a different question for divination.

Liu Jingtian witnessed all this, his eyes fixed on the shocking bloodstain at the corner of Zhuge Qing's mouth, and spoke to stop him in a worried tone:
"Young friend Zhuge, there's no need to force it."

"Nothing, I'll try again."

Although Zhuge Qing's voice was a little weak, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.

As he spoke, he resolutely raised his hand and made hand gestures, devoting himself to divination again.

The second question he divined was - "Is the person pretending to be Liu Jingtian related to the opportunity I missed?"

This time, he got a positive answer.

Then, Zhuge Qing silently asked the third question in his heart:

"Where is the person pretending to be Liu Jingtian in Jishiditang right now?"

This time, he received an eight-character comment.

Zhuge Qing opened his eyes, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

For a sorcerer, the result of divination cannot be told to others casually.

Because this divination technique goes against the laws of nature and is essentially an attempt to spy on the secrets of heaven.

Once the secret is revealed, the sorcerer's own destiny will be destroyed.

The severity of the punishment depends on the impact of the information revealed on the world.

In mild cases, one will encounter various misfortunes one after another in life, as if an invisible hand is deliberately making trouble; in severe cases, one may encounter an unexpected disaster and his life will suddenly disappear.

Therefore, in order to weaken this terrible punishment as much as possible, sorcerers often choose to convey the divination results through vague code words.

This is why warlocks often speak in vague and confusing ways.

However, Zhuge Qing did not hesitate at this moment. He looked determined, glanced at everyone, and clearly stated the result of the divination:

"Xun is the southeast, a place that is shady."

After hearing this comment, the people at Jishidiang began to think and carefully search for places that met the requirements.

Qian Yuan scratched the back of his head and muttered, "Southeast, the building in the shade, should be..."

"It's Master's study!"

Lin Yin reacted quickly and spoke first.

When he heard the word "study", Liu Jingtian's eyes darkened instantly, and a look of "as expected" flashed across his eyes.

However, his expression soon changed to the same surprise and worry as everyone else.

At this time, Lao Xu turned his gaze to Liu Jingtian and asked, "Master Liu, shall we go and take a look together?"

……

Everyone quickly rushed towards the study.

In front of the study.

When Liu Jingtian saw the "seen a ghost" expression on the face of the disciple guarding the study, he was actually delighted.

He was too lazy to explain further to his disciples and asked directly:

"Did I go into the study just now?"

"Ah...yes."

Although they were full of doubts in their hearts, the two gatekeeper disciples still answered Liu Jingtian's questions seriously.

"Didn't come out?" Liu Jingtian continued to ask.

"No...no, eh? That's not right! Aren't you already outside, Hall Master?"

The disciples finally realized that something was wrong. They showed expressions of fear on their faces and their voices began to tremble.

Liu Jingtian and Lao Xu looked at each other, understood each other, and nodded at the same time.

Lao Xu immediately turned around and waved behind him.

Two people immediately walked out from the team behind him wearing Nadutong employee uniforms.

"Liu Yue, Sun Yun, you two will lead the charge, and the others will stand guard outside."

"Yes!"

All members of the action team responded in unison.

Then, Lao Xu turned to look at Xiao Zizai, who was standing at the back with his hands in his pockets, and said politely:
"Brother Xiao, come in with me."
