() While Qin Guyue was thinking about it, Marquis Bingge said again: "Elder Shang Yuqiong wants to test your talent. If you are lucky enough to pass, you can become his registered disciple. If you are really a dead wood that cannot be carved, then you will become a disciple from now on."

Stay in the Marquis Mansion and don’t go out again to embarrass yourself!"

Hearing Qin Zhantian's words, he was about to nod when he suddenly felt his father's tone change and said: "Gu Yue, please listen carefully. The family has never had a physiognomist. This Mr. Shang Yuqiong is

The elder in Longyin Pavilion whose status is second only to the Pavilion Master is also one of the few star-level second-grade physiognomists in the world today, except for those old and immortal 'monsters'. His strength is even better than that of his father, such as

If you can become his disciple, you will be able to bring glory to the Qin family... So... you can only succeed, not fail! Do you know?"

Qin Guyue only felt that Qin Zhantian's tone was uncharacteristically hot when he spoke, and she couldn't help but responded: "I understand, kid!"

"It's good to understand... After one stick of incense, you come here. Mr. Shang Yuqiong is going to test you... Go and prepare first!" After Qin Zhantian finished speaking, he waved his hand and signaled Qin Guyue to retreat.

Go down.

When Qin Guyue returned to the main hall, there was another person sitting in the living room.

Sitting at the top was a middle-aged man with a long beard, a kind face, and a purple robe with two flying dragons faintly coiled on it. Qin Guyue recognized it at a glance.

A robe that can only be worn by the elders of the Yin Pavilion. In the Shengtian Dynasty, except for the royal family, only the physiognomist organization Long Yin Pavilion has obtained a charter and can use it. In this way, a robe with two flying dragons requires a star rank.

He is an elder with the above cultivation level.

Obviously, this person is the distinguished guest invited by Bingge Hou Qin Zhantian - Elder Shang Yuqiong.

"The book says that the flying dragon pattern on this purple robe contains the power of the five elements. I don't know if it's true or not..."

Qin Guyue was thinking in her mind and was carefully pondering the mystery of the flying dragon pattern on the elder's robe. Qin Zhantian, who was standing next to the elder, saw that Qin Guyue didn't speak or salute when he saw Shang Yuqiong.

When he was foolish again, he immediately shouted: "Guyue, why don't you bow to Elder Shang quickly! Have you forgotten the etiquette that the maids usually teach you?"

When Qin Guyue heard what her father said, she hurriedly bowed with both hands, gave a respectful student salute to the elder, and said in a deep voice: "Junior pays homage to Elder Shang." Qin Guyue bowed with her right hand into a fist and her left hand into a fist.

Palm, this etiquette was performed respectfully without any mistakes. Looking at it, Elder Shang's eyes turned into a slight look of approval. He opened his mouth and said to Qin Zhantian: "Marquis Bingge, your son's talent is not bad, but he is not."

It’s as bad as the rumors say!”

Hearing this, Qin Zhantian stroked his beard and said: "Elder Shang, it's just that Quanzi was withdrawn and eccentric when he was young. He often said crazy things and was regarded as an idiot. Since you said Quanzi has good talents...

..." He paused and looked at Qin Guyue in front of him, with a look of hope in his eyes. "Then can you bring the dog into Longyin Pavilion to practice? Even if you can't do it,

Being a disciple and a servant is also a great honor for my Qin family!"

Qin Zhantian, the Marquis of Bingge, is a man of great power. His ancestors have held important positions since Taizu Chonglong, and generations of talented people have emerged. To be able to receive his praise, even the monks of Longyin Pavilion, Elder Shang, is very useful.

Smiling and stroking his long beard, he said: "Marquis Bing Ge is too modest. Shang is just a commoner. If I can take the young master as my disciple, it will be Shang's blessing..." He paused slightly at this point and said: "

But Longyin Pavilion is full of physiognomists. If you don’t have some basic abilities, even if you have been immersed in it for decades, you won’t be able to make the slightest progress, so why don’t you let me test it for you first?”

When Qin Zhantian heard this, he smiled at Shang Yuqiong and said, "Elder Shang, please... I wonder what props are needed?"

Shang Yuqiong said with a smile: "No props are needed. Please step aside, Mr. Marquis, so that the young master and I can test it in this room!"

Qin Zhantian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll order my subordinates to prepare tea for Elder Shang." After that, he patted Qin Guyue on the shoulder and said, "Son, test it carefully and make sure it's accurate!"

This was the first time Qin Guyue saw her father speaking to her like this, and she couldn't help but nodded vigorously.

Qin Zhantian walked out and closed the door. Only Shang Yuqiong and Qin Guyue were left in the huge living room.

Shang Yuqiong walked to Qin Guyue's side, slowly sat down cross-legged on the carpet, motioned Qin Guyue to sit opposite him, then reached out and patted Qin Guyue's shoulder and said with a smile: "Little Marquis

You don’t need to be nervous, Shang just wants to see if you have talent, and the process is very simple. Shang will ask the little Marquis a few questions first, and please answer them truthfully!"

Shang Yuqiong stretched out the index finger of his right hand, quickly drew a big circle in the room, and then said to Qin Guyue in front of him: "I have laid out a physiognomy matrix here. Now, our conversation here, outside

No one can hear me anymore. Now, little Marquis, please tell me, do you know what physiognomy is?"

Qin Guyue paused for a moment, then used the explanation about physiognomy she saw in the library and said: "Everything in the world has a phase, and all phases come together to form the world. Among them, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are the origin of the world.

Phraseology is also the source of the power of physiognomy. Physiography is a technique that borrows the power of all phenomena in nature, and the highest state of physiognomy is to simulate the world."

After Qin Guyue finished speaking, Shang Yuqiong praised: "Yes, your understanding of physiognomy is very correct."

In fact, Qin Guyue has seen many Confucian statements criticizing physiognomists in the library, such as saying that physiognomists "use demonic power to confuse the common people, seize nature and reverse nature", "the country will not be peaceful if the strange power does not stop", etc. etc.

It was impossible for him to say it in front of the elder of Longyin Pavilion.

Shang Yuqiong didn't know that the sixteen-year-old boy in front of him was thinking about these things. Seeing Qin Guyue's well-behaved appearance, he actually liked to accept this disciple, so he said: "Little Marquis, physiognomy is

Techniques that use the power of nature are far different from martial arts. It is precisely for this reason that not everyone has the talent to be a physiognomist, so I have to take a test."

Young Qin Guyue did not show any surprise on her face, but nodded calmly to show that she was willing to accept it.

Shang Yuqiong smiled slightly, took out a stack of cards from his purple robe, spread out five cards on the ground, and said to Qin Guyue: "Little Marquis, please sit cross-legged first, calm down, and then close your mind."

Close your eyes, put your hands on these cards, and then tell me what's on them."

Qin Guyue looked at the card in front of her and frowned, obviously not believing that she could have such an ability. Shang Yuqiong saw it in her eyes and said, "Don't worry, everyone has this kind of ability. It's just that

There are just different levels of strength and weakness, and this is called perception in our physiognomy. People whose perception is not strong enough cannot be a physiognomist, so this is the most basic test."

Just as Qin Guyue was about to close her eyes and meditate, she suddenly opened her eyes again and asked, "Wait, sir, I have another question."

Shang Yuqiong smiled slightly and said, "Young Master, it's okay to ask."

"Is this perception the source of a physiognomist's power?" Qin Guyue couldn't help but ask. "I'm afraid just perception is not enough?"

Hearing these words, Shang Yuqiong couldn't help but feel that his eyes shone slightly, and the aura on his face was a little softer than before. A sixteen-year-old boy who had never been exposed to physiognomy was actually able to realize

At this point, what does that mean? The breakthrough and development of physiognomy, unlike martial arts, rely more on understanding. With such an understanding, will the future development prospects be small?

The ranking of the elders in Longyin Pavilion is also determined by the excellence of the disciples. If you can teach a full-scale physiognomist or a star-level warrior, it will be of great benefit to Shang Yuqiong.

So the elder was slightly surprised and said: "Most ordinary people think that the power of a physiognomist comes from their own perception, but you can actually question this. It's really unbelievable. You are so smart, why do others say you are?

Where are the fools?”

Qin Guyue shrugged her shoulders and smiled noncommittally.

Shang Yuqiong explained: "Your conjecture is not wrong at all. Perception is only the most basic power. It is an internal cause of the physiognomist himself. Everything is the product of a combination of internal and external factors, and physiognomy moves are no exception, and external factors

Then..." Shang Yuqiong stretched out his hand and pointed at the flowers in the living room, then at the sunshine outside the window, and then at the ground. Qin Guyue suddenly realized: "External causes come from this world.

This natural world contains

There is so much power, every bit of it, every drop is a source of power. Rain, thunder and lightning, blizzards and winds, even the replacement of the sun, moon and stars, the blooming and withering of flowers and plants... all of these are sources of power in nature.

, and an excellent physiognomist can make full use of his perception to sense various subtle and clear power fluctuations in the world. In fact, the physiognomy moves he releases are based on nature, not the physiognomist himself, right?

"

Shang Yuqiong clapped his hands, with an expression of ecstasy on his face, and said repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad, not bad, that's it. Perception and metaphysics are indispensable, and the strength of either aspect cannot create an outstanding physiognomist.

..." His breathing was a little unsmooth, "Oh my god, this is so bad.

He is a sixteen-year-old child who has never been exposed to physiognomy!" His eyes looking at Qin Guyue in front of him became even more intense, as if he saw an outstanding physiognomist standing in front of him, and as if

He was a shrewd businessman who saw a piece of virgin land that had never been developed before.

"Little Marquis, please forgive me, I can't wait for you to pass the test and become my disciple." After Shang Yuqiong finished speaking, he urged: "Try it, little Marquis, can you get it from the card?

What do you sense?"

When Qin Guyue heard this, she closed her eyes and heard Shang Yuqiong saying in her ear: "Now put your hands on these cards and tell me what the patterns on these cards are." The elder's voice was full of expectation.

.

"This is a carp..." Qin Guyue put her hand on the first card. After a moment, she blurted out. Shang Yuqiong flipped it open. Sure enough, it was a carp jumping out of the water drawn with thin silver lines.

.

"This is a temple!"

"It's a flame."

"This is a bamboo forest!"

"Oh, this is a sword!"

Qin Guyue mentioned the patterns on the other four cards with almost no pause in the middle. Shang Yuqiong turned them over at random, and naturally they all matched perfectly. At this time, the elder of Longyin Pavilion caressed her like a spring breeze.

With his own beard, an ordinary child who can identify three out of five pictures is already qualified to enter Longyin Pavilion.

The young marquis in front of me seems to have far superior perception than ordinary people. He actually identified all five pictures, and he did so easily... What does this mean? A rare physiognomist genius in a century! As God testifies, apart from the current master of Longyin Pavilion, no one else can

I have never heard of anyone who turned over five cards correctly when entering Longyin Pavilion, and in such a short period of time!
