the center of the altar,

Under He Heng's repeated questioning, Wu Yuansi didn't know how to respond for a while.

But the emperor on the other side of the high platform was aroused by He Heng's words,

"Gu thinks his method sounds interesting. If that's the case, why don't you guys try it out and prove to Gu who is the real Lightbringer."

Hearing this, Wu Yuansi's brows were almost twisted into a Sichuan character, he immediately stroked his long beard and looked at the emperor,

"Your Majesty doesn't trust the old minister?"

But the emperor didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, "Oh, sir, what you said is wrong. I don't believe that there is any contradiction between master and master and not fighting with him?"

Wu Yuansi: ""

Seeing that Wu Yuansi remained silent, the emperor seemed a little unhappy,

"Why, Mr. Fei, does this mean that you don't want to?"

At this moment, Wu Yuansi dared not disobey the emperor's intentions in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, so he shook his head hastily, "The old minister has no objection."

Only then did the emperor lean back on the dragon chair with satisfaction,

"Anyone else have an objection to this?"

Hearing this, all the civil and military ministers present said in unison: "I have no objection."

"Okay, let's get started."

After all, the emperor waved his sleeves and asked the palace people to clean up the venue.

For the sake of fairness, the titles of this fight were all decided after discussions between the emperor and his ministers, and in order to better judge the true level of the two in all aspects, the competition was divided into two rounds.

In the first half, the divination skills of the two were tested, and in the second half, the two were allowed to cast their spells freely.

Before the start of the first half, the emperor deliberately ordered someone to randomly find an old woman outside the sacrificial venue, and the old woman walked slowly to the two people on the altar with the support of her daughter.

In order to increase the difficulty of the competition, the emperor also ordered people to cover the eyes of both of them with black cloth to prevent them from inferring information through some external characteristics.

He Heng and Wu Yuansi couldn't see the appearance and movements of the old woman, but the rest of the people present could see it clearly.

Everyone saw that the old woman was still groping in mid-air with her daughter's support, and her steps seemed trembling, obviously because her old eyes were dim and she couldn't see the road in front of her clearly.

It is not difficult for everyone to infer from this that the old woman should be blind.

on the altar,

He Heng's eyes were covered with a black cloth, and he stood there indifferently.

But he secretly communicated with 996 in his heart: "Help my good brother, this time it's up to you."

996: [? 】

【What do you mean? 】

He Heng: "In other novels, don't the system help the male lead to cheat and help them reach the pinnacle of life? Look at you again, I have already completed the tasks of the three small worlds for you, help me Is it too much to hang up?"

996: [Good guy, so the reason why you rushed directly into the altar is because you are sure that I will help you? 】

He Heng: "I guess you don't want to see me being treated as a liar by the emperor, and then dragged down and beheaded, right? Isn't our mission all in vain?"

996:【】

He Heng is quite a real person, now if he wants to help himself, he just says "we",

Immediately afterwards, it heard the other party continue to say:

"I have completed so many tasks before, don't I have any points? For example, the ones that can be exchanged for rewards?"

996: [Wait a minute, let me check for you. 】

After about a few seconds, with a "beep", the mechanical electronic sound sounded again,

[After completing three mission worlds, your sand sculpture index has reached 9999999, and your love value for the protagonist and the protagonist's love value for you have also reached 9999. 】

It was the first time I heard that there was such a thing as the sand sculpture index, and He Heng wanted to complain why his sand sculpture value was higher than his love value.

But he held back and asked instead:

"What can the sand sculpture value be used for? So high, can it destroy the world?"

[Dear, no, the sand sculpture value can only make people laugh, and has no other purpose. 】

The corner of He Heng's mouth twitched, "Then how much is love worth?"

[It is used to show that you two are very affectionate. 】

He Heng: ""

Why is it so difficult to open a hook by yourself?

【Ugh】

At this time, 996 suddenly sighed,

[Forget it, I will help you again for the sake of your excellent completion of the three tasks. 】

He Heng: "Thank you, you are an excellent system."

At this moment, the corner of his mouth raised a confident arc again.

There is a system to help you open and hang, isn't that stable?

At this moment, the emperor and the ministers around him also finished discussing the specific content of the divination. The emperor directly asked the court lady to bring a bamboo tube containing two sticks to the two of them, intending to draw lots to determine their order of appearance.

And Wu Yuansi took the lead in choosing a bamboo stick.

After seeing the "one" on his sign, he secretly curled his lips.

The technique of fortune-telling is basically the same. It is nothing more than inferring the other person's life experience through clichés and giving some ambiguous predictions. The most important thing is to find out what the fortune-teller is thinking.

In a situation where two people are evenly matched in terms of phrasing, the one who comes out first will definitely have an advantage. After all, the former has almost got the phrasing done, and the latter only comes on stage at this time. The freshness in his eyes has passed.

Wu Yuan thought Ding He Heng was a charlatan at best.

He didn't believe that the other party could come up with any new tricks.

With such a mentality, Wu Yuansi started his performance calmly.

He didn't take much trouble, and he tricked the old woman out that she was blind and had two children, and the sex of the children was a boy and a girl, and the one who accompanied her today was the daughter.

When Wu Yuansi finished his performance, everyone in the room was amazed, even the old woman's daughter praised him again and again, "Master really knows things like a god!"

Amidst the exclamation of the crowd, Wu Yuansi raised the corners of his mouth confidently, took off the black cloth covering his face and stepped aside, preparing to watch He Heng make a fool of himself.

When the man with colorful patterns painted on his face and black cloth over his eyes was slowly brought up to the altar, Wu Yuansi immediately showed a look of disdain.

He has said everything he should have said about the key information just now. Could it be that He Heng's cliche skills are better than that of himself, an old man who has been in the world for many years?

At the same time, He Heng stood on the altar, the black cloth covering his face was so thick that not even a ray of light could penetrate, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

He cleared his throat, and started to ask questions according to the standard procedure of fortune-telling with magic sticks.

"May I ask your name and date of birth?"

The old woman immediately answered his question in an aged voice.

After the other party finished saying his name and date of birth, He Heng fell silent. He nodded while talking to himself, with a pensive expression on his face.

Everyone at the scene also fell silent, and when they waited with bated breath for the "master" to speak some philosophical words, they heard He Heng say in a deep voice:

"She's a woman."

"And an elderly woman."

Onlookers: ""

Does this still need to be counted?

Wu Yuansi on the side almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard the words. Looking at the other party's swearing posture earlier, he thought He Heng was capable?

Didn't expect this?

This is not even a trick of the gods, at best it is fooling the mentally retarded.

Sure enough, after hearing He Heng's words, the emperor also seemed a little displeased.

"He Heng, is that all you have to say?"

"Wait a minute," He Heng shook his head, and continued his process,

"Could you come forward and let me touch your palm?"

"Only in this way can I see through the lifeblood of people."

Seeing this, the old woman walked up to He Heng suspiciously.

While holding the old woman's hands, He Heng urged in his heart:

"Hurry up, why are you so slow in checking information?"

996: [The signal is not good, please wait a little longer]

[Oh, yes, she is a widow in the village. She has three children and lives with her daughter now. Her husband died about three years ago. 】

After having the information provided by the system, He Heng first talked about some empty truths, and then cleverly cut to the point,

"Just now I deduced from your fortune that you had three children."

As soon as he said this, the old woman's daughter immediately shook her head and interrupted He Heng's words,

"No, my mother and my father only have two children, me and my eldest brother. Where did the third one come from?"

Hearing this, the emperor also frowned. Before, he thought that He Heng was a bit capable, but he didn't expect that he was still inferior to Wu Yuansi.

But at this moment, the old woman's hand trembled suddenly, she grabbed He Heng's arm suddenly, her expression trembling, her voice trembling,

"Master, I have never mentioned this matter to anyone. How do you know about my eldest son who died young?"

The scene fell into silence. After a while, the old woman's daughter recovered from the shock and asked her with a frown,

"Mom, don't you and dad only have two children, me and elder brother? What's going on here?"

"Alas" the old woman sighed several times, telling the past that had been dusty for many years,

"Actually, your father was not my first love"

"Uncle Wang next door is the one, but I have never mentioned this to anyone."

Road:

"Master, how did you deduce it? Could it be that my child who died young appeared in the sky and entrusted you with a dream?"

Facing the old woman's various compliments, He Heng just said lightly,

"It's not that I have any ability, all this is told by the gods."

When the old woman heard the words, she wept with joy and cried out to the sky: "There is a spirit in the sky! There is a spirit in the sky!"

After witnessing this scene full of variables, there was another uproar at the scene.

The emperor, who was already a little dozed off, even stood up excitedly from the dragon chair, and even changed his address to He Heng.

"Aiqing, tell me quickly, what else did the gods tell you?"

And Wu Yuansi, who was watching from the side, was already pale at this time, he secretly cast a jealous look at the man on the altar, thinking that there was such a coincidence, it really made this blind cat meet a dead mouse .

He wants to see if the other party can have such good luck in the future?

Immediately afterwards, He Heng babbled on the life experiences of some old women according to the prompts given to him by the system, which were basically similar to what Wu Yuansi said earlier.

At the end, in order to play a full set of plays, He Heng improvised for a while,

"The lines on your hands show that your fortune is not bad, it's just"

The old woman: "Just?"

"It's just that there are obvious broken marks on the lines on your hands, which symbolizes that you will encounter a doom on the second day of the first lunar month."

The old woman became anxious when she heard it, and she immediately asked: "Then, master, what should I do to avoid this catastrophe?"

He Heng touched his chin with a serious expression, "On the second day of the first lunar month, when you walk, you must"

"Look at the road under your feet."

"Ah, this?" Before the old woman had time to comprehend the meaning of He Heng's words, her daughter asked first:

"But my mother lost her eyesight five years ago. Now she can't see and needs someone to help her when she walks. How can she see the road under her feet?"

As soon as she said this, there were whispered discussions in the audience,

"That's right, isn't it embarrassing to ask a blind man to look at the road under his feet more? How can there be such a reason?"

At the same time, some people objected that,

"Don't worry, I think he was very good before, maybe he still has some hidden tricks, after all, God's will can't be prying."

He Heng's words aroused the emperor's interest again, and his previous performance had already established his status as a "master" in the emperor's heart.

It's just that the "master" that everyone calls is desperately asking for help from the system.

"? Damn, is she blind? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

996: [Actually not, she is only highly myopic, but you know that in ancient times, medical science was underdeveloped, and there was no difference between highly myopic and blind in their eyes. 】

He Heng: "How long is she?"

996: [Why are you asking this? 】

He Heng: [Can you help me get a pair of myopia glasses? 】

996:【】

There was silence for a while,

[Yes, but the money for the glasses will be deducted from your salary in the future. 】

He Heng: "Okay, I got it."

Just when people were whispering and discussing, they saw He Heng in the center of the altar tore off the black cloth covering his face, took out a pair of reflective lenses from his cuffs, and put them on the bridge of the old woman's nose.

In the next second, the old woman miraculously opened her narrowed eyes, and her hunched body straightened up. She danced and ran around the altar, her joy was beyond words. Just jumped three feet high.

She ran and cried out,

"My eyes are healed! My eyes are healed! I can see again!"

Speaking of which, the old woman rushed to He Heng excitedly, grasped his hands, and said earnestly:

"Master! You are my reborn parents, my savior!"

"Cough! Cough!"

Facing the old woman's enthusiastic praise, He Heng was a little embarrassed. He cleared his throat and said pretendingly, "You don't have to thank me, I'm just the messenger of the gods. The reason why you can see the light again is all because of it." It is God's will."

After he finished speaking, the old woman immediately knelt down and kowtowed several times towards the air, muttering, "Thank God, thank you Lord God for sending the Messenger of Light down to heal my eyes."

After witnessing the "miracle" that He Heng cured the blind man, the old emperor was also shocked and speechless for a long time. He watched He Heng open his mouth, and after a long silence, he finally stammered:

"Ai Qing really has the ability to heal the blind! I am so lonely that I believe that you are the messenger of light sent by heaven."

"Gu actually tried to make the Lightbringer the princess' son-in-law in vain before, I really wronged Aiqing."

After hearing the emperor's words, Fu Yunyu, who was standing by the side of the altar, had faint veins on his forehead, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

She also felt that it was a pity to let He Heng be her son-in-law. He was born to be a magic stick.

Seeing that the emperor had already regarded He Heng as a messenger of light, Wu Yuansi finally couldn't help it, "Your Majesty, you must not be so arbitrary!"

"The fight in the second half hasn't started yet. How can you tell if he has real skills just by using this divination technique?"

Hearing this, He Heng sneered in his heart.

It's fun to be told by a charlatan that he's "playing tricks".

Sure enough, defeating magic with magic is the correct way to open it.

Seeing that the emperor fell silent, Wu Yuansi continued, "Your Majesty, it's not too late for us to make a decision after the second half of the competition."

The emperor thought for a moment, nodded and said, "OK."

"Let Gu see what you are really capable of."

"The competition in the second half will be held in Wenhua Hall."

Following the emperor's order, the palace servants waiting nearby walked to the altar one after another and removed all the things placed on it.

A group of civil and military ministers also got up from their seats and walked towards the Wenhua Hall under the leadership of the emperor.

In the majestic and magnificent palace,

The emperor wore a bright yellow dragon robe and sat high above the main hall, with ministers of civil and military affairs lined up on both sides.

At this time, there was a shelf in the center of the hall, and a copper basin filled with water was placed on the shelf.

This was just served at the request of Wu Yuansi by the emperor's servants.

The order of the second match was the same as the first match, and Wu Yuansi played first.

Different from the previous certainty, Wu Yuansi, who had lost the upper hand in the first half of the divination, became a little uneasy at this moment, and a lot of cold sweat broke out in his tightly clenched hands.

Everyone saw that he walked slowly to the copper basin, closed his eyes and muttered something, then took out a Dao talisman from his cuff, and tapped twice on his shoulder and forehead respectively.

Immediately under the gaze of everyone, Wu Yuansi dissolved the Dao Talisman in the water, and the water in the copper basin miraculously turned into a bright red like fresh blood.

Amidst the exclamation of the crowd, Wu Yuansi took the brocade handkerchief beside the copper basin and wiped his hands, then bowed to the emperor in the high hall,

"The humble minister has shown his ugliness."

In just a few seconds just now, all civil and military officials witnessed the pot of clear water turn red under their noses.

Most of the people present were amazed by the spell performed by Wu Yuansi, and even the emperor gave a compliment or two, but He Heng was the only one in the whole hall who was not moved at all.

He sneered in his heart,

The deception of this charlatan is enough to deceive these people who have never seen the world, isn't it just adding some chemicals to the water to change the color of the water?

If it were put into modern times, even elementary school students would disdain to watch such a pediatric trick.

But at this time, Wu Yuansi regained his confidence. He turned his head to look at He Heng and said, "Looking at the calm expression of this 'Bright Messenger', I think my 'small tricks' just now are not difficult for you at all, right?"

"Why don't we let 'Bright Messenger' come on stage this time to perform for everyone?"

He Heng waved his hand at him immediately, and said with a smile, "You all said that this is a trivial trick, so I think it will be avoided."

"Since I appeared as an emissary of light, it is natural for everyone present to experience the power of the God of Light."

Speaking of this, He Heng looked up at the emperor, and said seriously: "Please close the door of the hall, and extinguish all the oil lamps and candles in the hall."

Hearing what he said, the emperor became interested again, and immediately waved his hands to let the servants in the palace do the same.

After closing the hall door and extinguishing the candles, the hall was instantly plunged into darkness, and everyone looked sideways and held their breath waiting for He Heng's next performance.

996: 【What are you going to do? 】

He Heng: "Aren't my intentions obvious enough?"

"I want to generate electricity. Let this group of people who have never seen the world see the power of light."

"And the special effects should be cool, preferably like Magneto."

996: [? 】

[Even if I'm a system, I can't help you hack things that violate the laws of nature? 】

["Power generation" is essentially a directional movement of matter. Only by providing the energy to move electrons can the effect of power generation be produced. How do you create this kind of energy out of thin air now? 】

Unexpectedly, after 996 said these words, He Heng not only did not retreat in spite of the difficulties, but smiled calmly,

"Isn't this kind of energy readily available?"

996 was at a loss: [What? 】

He Heng raised his eyebrows: "My love is worth 9999, I want it now"

"Generating electricity for love."

The moment his voice fell, Rao, as a gold-medal system with countless hosts in the space-time administration, with rich experience such as 996, was shocked by He Heng's brain circuit.

After holding it in for a long time, it finally choked out a trembling "OK".

So the next moment,

Everyone saw that the sky suddenly exploded in the dark hall, and accompanied by the sound of "crackling" thunder, several lightning sparks split out from He Heng's hand, and the dazzling light in the shape of a branch rose from He Heng's palm, and a burst of lightning flashed across the sky. It is a few meters high, all the way to the beam of the roof of Wenhua Hall.

At this time, He Heng was like a walking light source, and also like a thunder king falling from the sky, walking towards the center of the hall with lightning and sparks all the way.

And the colorful patterns on his face became extremely creepy under the strong light at this moment.

Even the timid ones were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.

He Heng's power generation performance lasted for about a cup of tea. The moment he put away the lightning in his hand, everyone in the hall was so shocked that they could not speak.

The emperor came back to his senses only after people relit the candles and oil lamps and opened the palace door.

He looked at He Heng, the admiration in his eyes was beyond words,

"Aiqing, I trust you alone!"

"You are the messenger of light sent from heaven!"

Seeing that the emperor had completely favored He Heng at this time, and seeing that the position of the national teacher that he had almost obtained was disrupted out of thin air, Wu Yuansi rushed towards He Heng angrily, and at the same time shouted:

"I fight you, you liar!"

His series of actions came so suddenly that the guards stationed in the hall had no time to react, and Wu Yuansi had already pounced on He Heng.

However, the moment Wu Yuansi's hands touched He Heng's skin, a burst of electricity quickly rushed from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet.

Just now, when he saw that the lightning in He Heng's palm was no longer striking, he thought that the other party's power was exhausted, but he didn't know that He Heng at this time was like a Pikachu who looked harmless to humans and animals, and his face was as ordinary as ordinary people. Unsurprisingly, one hundred thousand volts are stored in the dark.

In the next second, everyone saw that Wu Yuansi suddenly became stiff like a piece of wood, his eyes turned white, and he fell to the ground in a daze.

The moment Wu Yuansi fell down, He Heng sighed softly. The electric man was not his original intention, but who made the other party insist on rushing up?

Seeing this, the emperor was even more convinced that He Heng was the messenger of light sent by the gods. It was precisely because Wu Yuansi's behavior offended the gods that he was condemned by the heavens when he approached the messenger of light just now, so he fell down like this.

So under the fearful eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the emperor got up from the dragon chair and walked towards He Heng step by step.

When he walked in front of He Heng, the emperor waved his hand, signaling that he needn't be too polite, and then announced sharply:

"From now on, I will designate 'Bright Messenger' as Daliang's new national teacher."

Following the emperor's order, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty "plopped", and Qiqi knelt down at He Heng's feet, shouting loudly,

"Minister, welcome to Master National Teacher!"
