Chapter 158 Chapter 158 I miss him
In the center of the front yard of the mountain temple, Qin Tianjian temporarily built a sacrificial platform. In the center of the platform were placed some sacrificial supplies and tools for divination.
Five or six masters from Qintian Prison were busy making preparations on the sacrificial platform.
Next to him, Mr. Wei was holding a book and bowing slightly to talk to Master Li.
"The ten people who passed the first five levels have already arrived. Taking advantage of the excuse of taking a hot spring bath, our people also found out the birthmarks on their bodies."
Master Li, who was holding Buddha dust in his hand, heard this and glanced at Mr. Wei in shock, "In this weather, let them soak in hot springs?"
The Wei family is really in decline, and no one can think of a normal solution.
Mr. Wei only belatedly realized that this approach was a bit cover-up, so he could only make up a few words in embarrassment.
"There is nothing we can do. The Queen Mother is pressing hard. This year's Qiuhua Fair has been moved forward two months, so it is a bit hasty."
Attributing his lack of brains to the rush of time, Master Li snorted coldly and said nothing more for the sake of the palace.
Mr. Wei continued: "Among the ten people, five have birthmarks on their bodies, including two women and three men. The locations of the birthmarks are also different."
After saying that, he looked troubled, "The Queen Mother has only given so much information, and we don't know which one of these five people is the person we are looking for."
Master Li was not in a hurry at all, "What's so difficult about this? If you can't tell the difference, send them all to the Imperial Capital."
Mr. Wei didn't know why, "But there is only one Qiuhua Messenger?"
Master Li stroked his beard and said, "There is only one Qiu Hua Envoy, and the others can be sent as the Qiu Hua Envoy's entourage. As for who it is, I believe the Queen Mother will make her own decision."
"It's a very important matter. If we get the wrong person and offend the Queen Mother, we won't even want our heads."
When Mr. Wei heard this, he immediately understood what Master Li meant.
He nodded repeatedly, "Master Li still has a clever trick. In this way, the person has been delivered."
Mr. Wei said this, but he sneered in his heart.
This group of magicians from Qintian Prison are really good at fooling people, and they can actually come up with this method to smooth things over.

Young people taking a bath in the hot springs returned to the front yard one after another.
Wen Wan walked in the front, still wearing that white face with heavy makeup. As soon as she appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of others.
Everyone has different thoughts, but most of them still don't take her seriously.
After Zhou Linling washed up, she returned to her original appearance, but she still looked ordinary among a group of people with outstanding looks.
He consciously stood next to Wen Wan and complained in a low voice, "Sister Xiaowan, you are really good at predicting things. As soon as I entered the hot spring pool, the servants urged me to take off my clothes...Sister Xiaowan, they all looked at me. It’s all gone, I feel like I’m not clean anymore”
Wen Wan: "..."
She raised her hand and patted his shoulder, "Be considerate, after all, not a piece of flesh was lost."
Zhou Lingling, a grown-up man, didn't take this matter too seriously, so he just made a few remarks.
He sighed with emotion: "That's right. As a woman, Sister Xiaowan can think of everything she wants. Of course I can too..."
Wen Wan looked at his gloating look and chuckled, shattering his illusion.
"I was not exposed. I just rolled up my trouser legs and showed them my birthmark."
Zhou Lingling: "???"
Can it still be like this?
He lost again!
After everyone arrived, Master Li, the Qintian Supervisor, put on a divination mask and walked onto the stage.
Everyone stood in the courtyard under the bright sun, but after a while, they were dizzy from the sun.
Wen Wan's back was soaked with sweat. She glanced at the guards holding knives around her and could only shake her head helplessly.
After Master Li finished the sacrificial dance, he raised the gong and struck it.
There was a "clang" sound.
Everyone was startled and shuddered at the same time.
I saw Master Li slowly raising his hand, running his fingers across a row of young people, and finally stopped at the center of the eyebrows of a tall young man. "This son is favored by heaven and has great luck. He should be a messenger of Qiuhua and guard the temple to pray for the Queen Mother."
When the young man heard this, he burst into tears of joy and knelt down to Master Li repeatedly to thank him.
Seeing this, Wen Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was not selected. In this case, the losers like them can go home.
The other ones who were not selected were not as calm as Wen Wan, and all of them were very disappointed.
Someone mentioned the one thousand taels of silver.
"Isn't it said that the last person who enters the mountain temple will get one thousand taels of silver? Where is the silver?"
"The Wei family doesn't want to admit their fault, right?"
"As the richest man in Haicheng, the Wei family should not break their promise and get rich."
The discussion among several people did not stop, and Mr. Wei naturally heard it.
He stood up and said loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, we have prepared the money. Please come to me to get it."

He smiled and directed a few guards to bring up a large wooden box.
There is a palm-sized hole at the top of the box, allowing people to put their hands in.
Wen Wan's eyes dimmed and she couldn't help but sneer.
"The Wei family is really not a good thing!"
Zhou Lingling echoed without thinking, "Well, it's not a good thing!"
Wen Wan glanced at him, "Do you understand?"
Zhou Lingling shook her head in confusion.
Wen Wan sighed and said to the landlord's silly son: "It seems that the Wei family is not going to give any money."
Zhou Linling's eyes widened, "Huh? Didn't Mr. Wei just say..."
"Do you believe what he said?" Wen Wan raised her eyebrows, "Are you so easy to lie? Listen to me, we don't want the money anymore, it's important to save our lives."
After a series of Wen Wan's revelations, Zhou Lingling now firmly believes in Wen Wan's words.
If she said she didn't want the money, she couldn't take it.
Zhou Lingling agreed immediately.
After the box was placed, Mr. Wei said to everyone with a smile: "The banknotes are in the box. If you want, go and get it yourself."
Fear often comes from the unknown.
There is only a small hole at the top of the closed box. After putting your hand in, who knows what is inside?
Wen Wan had seen such trick games on some variety shows, but those were variety shows, and the most they contained were bluffing stuff.
And now that the Wei family is planning not to pay, the contents of the box may be more than just a bluff.
"Mr. Wei, what do you mean? What is in this box?"
If you are brave, ask directly.
Others nodded and whispered.
Mr. Wei raised his neck, his smile not reaching his eyes, "There are banknotes in the box. Of course, it is the last level after all, so it is still a bit difficult. So..."
He paused and said with a sneer: "In addition to the banknotes, there are also some cute little things inside. Wealth can only be gained through danger. Everyone should understand, right?"
I understand nothing!
When you become a cousin, you have to erect an archway!
Wen Wan thought that Wei Changjia was enough of a bastard, but she didn't expect that in the Wei family's nest of snakes and rats, all of them were bastards.
Thinking of Wei Changjia, Wen Wan missed Shen Yu a little.
Shen Yu is smart enough and sinister enough. If he were here, he would definitely be able to easily deal with this nest of rats.
