Chapter 1919: Turtle Shell Divination
Yang Jie really believed that he had the blessing of his ancestors, and that as long as he studied hard, he would be able to pass the exam.
After returning home, he devoted himself to studying in the study room, and he had never been so serious before.
The book boy standing beside him who was grinding ink for him, that is, Yang Lian transformed by Jia Zhengjin, thought that if he really worked so hard, he might be able to pass the exam by himself, so what kind of blessing from his ancestors was needed?
He had failed the exams many times before, but in fact, he was just fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, and he had no motivation, right?
Could it be that he had accidentally inspired a scholar and given him the possibility of walking on the road to glory?
Just as he was thinking, there was a gentle knock on the door, accompanied by the voice of a personal maid: "Master, take a break and drink some soup?"
Yang Jie was indeed tired, so he put down the book in his hand: "Come in!"
"Yes!" A maid carefully pushed the door open, and another maid walked in with a steaming ceramic bowl, "Someone in the village caught an old turtle. I saw it, so I bought it and made soup, just right for the young master."
"Good! The old turtle soup is good!" Yang Jie smelled the fragrance and was a little impatient, "Yang Lian, go get a few small bowls. The three of you have worked hard, and the young master will reward you with a bowl each."
"Thank you, young master!!" The two maids were delighted and hurried to thank him.
Jia Zhengjin looked at the big turtle shell in the ceramic bowl, and suddenly remembered the turtle shell divination he had learned from the monster before.
If he hadn't seen this turtle shell, he would have almost forgotten this skill.
By the way, do you want to play with it?
I don't know how effective the tortoise shell divination is, and what it can predict.
It's said that it can predict everything in the world, but maybe the people of the Four Heavenly Palaces can't predict it? After all, they are the masters of this world.
It's just for fun, it doesn't matter!
Thinking of this, he quickly ran to the kitchen and got three clean small bowls, and then said to Yang Jie: "Master, this tortoise shell looks interesting, can you give it to me?"
Yang Jie looked up at him and said without thinking: "Take it! But what do you want to use it for?"
"It's just interesting, just play with it." Jia Zhengjin said with a smile.
Yang Jie is very good to his two personal maids and book boy. These three people are his confidants, and they don't care about a tortoise shell at all.
The personal maid and the book boy Yang Lian transformed by Jia Zhengjin each got a small bowl of old tortoise soup, and the remaining large bowl was all enjoyed by Yang Jie himself.
The two maids happily enjoyed the old tortoise soup slowly on the side, their eyes fixed on the young master.
Jia Zhengjin quickly finished the old turtle soup, left the study room on the pretext of convenience, ran to the quiet backyard of the old house, and after making sure that there was no one around, he put the turtle shell he got from Young Master Yang Jie on the ground, then took out a few copper coins from the virtual backpack and threw them into the hole next to the turtle shell.
Try the skill?
Hold up the turtle shell, open the skill interface and click on the skill.
[System] The prerequisite for using the turtle shell divination skill is met!
[System] You can do divination!
[System] Please recite the content you want to divination in your mind, and then gently shake the turtle shell to let the copper coins inside fall to the ground.
The content of divination?
Jia Zhengjin thought for a few seconds,
Anyway, it's an experiment, so let's divination whether he can win the bet with Yue Lang?
After reciting it in his mind, he held the turtle shell and shook it up and down a few times, and the copper coins flew out of the head of the turtle shell and fell to the ground.
[System] Divination successful!
[System] Divination content-whether the bet with Yue Lang (???) can be won!
[System] Hexagram interpretation: The winner wins, the loser wins.
"What the hell?" Looking at the hexagram interpretation, Jia Zhengjin was confused.
The winner wins, the loser also wins, isn't it ambiguous?
The winner wins, why does the loser also win? What logic?
Also, is it me who wins in the end? It's not shown!
So is it me who wins, or is it Yue Lang who wins?
Does this result mean that the winner wins, the loser also wins, or does it mean that I win regardless of winning or losing?
These two explanations are two different results!
Sure enough, fortune-telling is all based on deception!
Even the system skills are such things that people can't understand.
After thinking for a moment, I decided to try again.
Put the copper coin back into the tortoise shell and thought about it.
Then calculate whether I can successfully find someone who can kill me?
After silently reciting in my heart, I shook the tortoise shell again, and when the copper coin fell to the ground, I looked at the system prompt nervously.
[System] Hexagram interpretation: Life and death are determined by fate!
Isn't this nonsense?
This divination skill is indeed used by charlatans, and all the answers are ambiguous, right?
Jia Zhengjin doubted the skill of tortoise shell divination, and felt a little disappointed.
But he was still unwilling to give up and wanted to verify it again.
Maybe it can be counted as a simple one? The previous ones were too difficult, so this kind of answer appeared?
Well~ then what should be counted?
That's right!
Didn't Master Yang Jie drink old turtle soup? The old turtle soup has turtle bones, even if he drank it, there were as many turtle bones as there were.
After silently reciting, put the copper coin into the turtle shell and began to shake it gently.
Wait until the copper coin falls to the ground, and then look at the system prompt.
[System] Hexagram interpretation: The number of three and seven.
This time, the correct answer appeared, without ambiguity.
Wait! This answer can also have many explanations, right?
First, it could be three or seven, that is, three pieces or seven pieces. But think about it, the ceramic bowl is very large, and the turtle meat is also very large. It is impossible that only three or seven pieces of bones are left after eating. This possibility is ruled out;
Second, could it be that there are thirty-seven bones as the literal meaning implies?
No! It seems that the word "three or seven" should be like the "twenty-eight" in "twenty-eight years old", not twenty-eight. In ancient times, when a girl was said to be twenty-eight years old, it actually meant twenty-eight-six, saying that she was sixteen years old.
Then three or seven should be different from thirty-seven, meaning thirty-seven twenty-one?
So, the old turtle bones may be twenty-one?
Of course, the system's own answer format cannot be ruled out, perhaps it means thirty-seven?
Of course, no matter which answer it is, targeting one of the above is also acceptable. If the number comes out completely different, then this divination is useless and is completely a charlatan skill!
To prove its effectiveness, of course, you need to verify it yourself.
After putting away the turtle shell, Jia Zhengjin waited until Master Yang Jie finished drinking the old turtle soup and waited outside the study for the maids to bring it out. He quickly went up to ask them to help him count the number of old turtle bones.
The two maids felt puzzled and couldn't figure out what this was for.
However, he had a good relationship with Yang Lian and they were as close as siblings, so they counted the bones in front of him.
He quickly came to the conclusion that after drinking the old turtle soup, the number of small bones was 21.
It was exactly the same, and the divination was accurate!
Is it a coincidence? Or is it really an accurate divination result?
But if this is accurate, what are the two ambiguous answers before?
After thinking about it, I really can't figure it out.
