In the front hall of the inn
At this moment, the atmosphere in the inn was very solemn.
Su Mu and the old man surnamed Li sat on opposite ends of the table.
There was a small pile of rice and a tea bowl on the table in front of each of them.
Behind Su Mu stood Lu Xiaofeng, Lao Bai, Zhang Sanfeng and the others.
Shangguan Haitang stood alone behind the old man.
After Su Mu and the old man surnamed Li looked at each other for a while, the old man suddenly sneered:
"You're a junior. You go first.”
"Whatever." Su Mu nodded indifferently.
He casually grabbed a handful of rice and threw it on the table. With a "pa" sound, he knocked down the teacup.
"I guess so."
"" The old man saw how casual Su Mu was, and was even more certain that Su Mu was trying to use this method to forcefully tie with him.
After laughing coldly, he took out a turtle shell and three ancient coins and shook them vigorously.
" Hualala." The sound of the ancient coins spinning was very rapid. The old man's face was also solemn.
There were even beads of sweat on his forehead, slowly sliding down his orange-like old cheeks.
However, he didn't have the time to wipe his sweat. He was completely focused on the turtle shell.
after a while
"Peng!" The old man suddenly stopped shaking and placed the tortoiseshell on the table.
" Phew." After taking a deep breath, he slowly removed the turtle shell and stared at the coins on the table.
After a while, the old man stretched out his right hand and began to count while muttering something.
Zhang Sanfeng, who was stroking his beard and watching, nodded when he saw this. He turned his head and whispered to Song Yuanqiao,
"This person is using the ancient Fuxi Eight Trigrams.
The Fuxi Eight Trigrams was said to be able to predict everything in the world.
It was originally lost, but who would have thought that it would reappear in the hands of this person.
He was indeed worthy of his title as the number one divination expert in the world.”
"This…" Song Yuanqiao's expression changed, and he asked softly,"
"In that case, won't Young Master Su lose for sure?”
"That's not necessarily true." Zhang Sanfeng looked at the unconcerned Su Mu and shook his head, saying softly:
"Little friend Su is the most amazing person I've ever seen.
He was always able to do unexpected things.
Moreover, look at his relaxed appearance. It's obvious that he has the confidence to win.
Although I don't know how he will win, I believe he will.”
"Hu!" Zhang Sanfeng's voice had just settled when the old man surnamed Li suddenly let out a long breath and wiped the sweat off his forehead. Looking at the teacup in front of Su Mu, he said with certainty:
"There are a total of 135 grains of rice in your cup!”
In fact, he did not calculate the exact value. He only calculated that there might be 100 to 170 grains of rice in the teacup.
Therefore, he chose the middle number.
He believed that this number was extremely close to the correct answer.
Hearing this, Su Mu unhesitatingly opened the teacup and began to count the grains one by one in front of everyone.
"One, two, three!"
"126, 127!"
After counting to 127, Su Mu picked up the last grain of rice and threw it into the pile:
"128, not bad."
As he spoke, he looked at the old man and said as if he was an elder guiding a junior,
"128 grains of rice, a difference of seven grains isn't too embarrassing.”
"Humph!" Su Mu's arrogant attitude successfully angered the old man. He coldly snorted and said in a deep voice:
"Don't talk too much. You can start guessing!”
He didn't use the word " divination ", but directly used the word " wild guess ".
Because he believed that Su Mu didn't have any real ability and was just bluffing.
After that, he covered the pile of rice with his sleeve and carefully counted out dozens of rice grains. He placed them into the tea and looked at Su Mu with a cold smile:
"Start the divination!"
"Are you so eager to lose your arm?”Seeing this, Su Mu leaned forward and placed his right hand on the table as he asked playfully.
"Humph!" The old man named Li coldly snorted and looked at Su Mu with disdain:
"Brat, don't waste time. Hurry up and guess.
If you have the ability to chop off my arm, I will not complain!”
"As you wish!" Hearing this, Su Mu shrugged his shoulders.
Then, he placed his right hand on the table and pretended to count.
"Humph! As expected of an ignorant and incompetent person!" When the old man surnamed Li saw Su Mu's calculating action, his face immediately revealed a hint of ridicule.
As a master of divination, he could naturally see that Su Mu was just randomly moving his fingers and not calculating.
"Hmm?" Even Zhang Sanfeng, who was standing behind Su Mu, frowned.
He had dabbled in divination when he was young.
Although he wasn't proficient, he could tell that Su Mu's calculations were wrong.
However, he didn't say anything. Perhaps this was Su Mu's special skill?
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was very solemn. Everyone was focused and quiet, not even daring to breathe loudly.
after a while
"I've calculated it!" Su Mu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the old man surnamed Li with a faint smile. He said with certainty:
"Six is Yin and nine is Yang.
You actually put sixty-nine grains of rice in the bowl, which is in line with the Dao of Yin and Yang.”
" This is impossible!!!" As soon as Su Mu finished speaking, the old man surnamed Li's eyes widened and he stood up with a 'whoosh'. He looked at Su Mu in disbelief:
"You don't even know how to calculate, so how can you accurately calculate how much rice is in my bowl?!”
Su Mu's calculations were correct, there were exactly 69 grains of rice in his bowl!
"You don't know how to calculate? "Haha," Su Mu laughed disdainfully and pointed at his temple with his finger:
"A true master of divination doesn't need to calculate at all!
When he wanted to divine something, he didn't need to do anything. The result would naturally appear in his mind.”
With that, he crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. He glanced at the old man named Li and said disdainfully,
"As long as I want to, I can calculate the result in the blink of an eye.
I only calculated randomly to save you some face.”
"This is impossible, this is impossible!" The old man was greatly shocked. His eyes were wide open as he looked at Su Mu in disbelief. His mouth was even muttering something as if he had gone crazy.
"Nothing is impossible!" Su Mu sneered and slowly stood up. He looked at the old man coldly:
"For an idiot like you, as long as it's beyond your understanding, you think it's impossible!
However, for a truly smart person, there was nothing impossible in this world!”
At this point, he looked at the old man's arm and asked with a sneer,
"Are you going to remove your arms yourself, or should I help you cut them off?”
