Songhuang walked into the 'Tieshutang Sixth Hall' located on the far right of the 'Tieshutang Main Hall'.

The structure inside is different from the main hall, divided into six floors, each with a circular hollow in the middle, one floor is larger than the first, and in the middle there is a column that is higher than the sixth floor.

Songhuang walked directly to the fifth floor, sat down, looked listless, and said, "Teacher, this teaching is really boring, anyone can do it, can I change to another task?"

"No, you can't. ”

There was an old man sitting cross-legged on the column, with a deep voice, and when Sima Shuo and the others entered the main hall, he sat on one of the pillars, but he didn't speak.

Songhuang asked puzzledly, "Why?"

The old man said sadly, "That's why I'm staying here. ”

This is the first time since he met the teacher that he heard the teacher speak with emotion, and it was also sad, because the old man has always cared not much about the affairs of Tieshutang, and has always been like a bystander, no matter how big the matter is, he can deal with it calmly, this is everyone's impression of the old man.

Rarely wanted to do more, Songhuang asked, "Do I need to do anything?"

Of course, this does not refer to teaching, the old man said: "Protect their lives." ”

In a few moments, Songhuang returned to the seventy-fifth floor of the outer hall, his face returned to the half-dead appearance of yesterday, and he walked to the middle of the stage and sat down, and the 'Bailing Array' opened when his butt touched the ground.

Although Xuhui had heard Sima Shuo talk about the name and function of this formation during the lunch break, it was the first time he saw what it looked like, and he couldn't help but be curious.

Songhuang didn't care about him, running errands and closing his eyes like an old monk was in a trance.

Tang Hua whispered a few times to Xuhui, gave him a look, and then gestured at Songhuang in a pouting manner, signaling him to shoot him with a fireball.

Xuhui shook his head again and again, he was not stupid, he didn't feel comfortable doing this.

Tang Hua saw that he was unwilling, so he said with his mouth: "Coward." ”

Then he raised his chin and pouted in disdain.

Xuhui was so angry that he really wanted to touch the tiger's buttocks, but fortunately, Sima Shuo coughed twice in time to stop him, and then glared at Tang Hua, Tang Hua deliberately closed his eyes and pretended to cultivate, looking like it was none of my business.

Song Huang was a little disappointed, if Xuhui shot out a fireball, then there would be a look, although the 'Bailing Array' is a formation to assist cultivation, but as long as it is a formation, the position of the formation eye will be protected, and the formation eye protection of the 'Bailing Array' is to bounce back the weaker attack.

After the cultivation was over, Sima Shuo took Xuhui to the room reserved for him by everyone, and told him the content of Songhuang's lecture yesterday morning, and reminded him of copying the iron rules of Tieshutang before leaving, and handed it over to Songhuang tomorrow.

Back to his room, not long after lying down, Toad Xin suddenly came to visit, after opening the door, Toad Xin did not plan to enter the door, because he was afraid that the tumor on his body would burst and splash all over the ground, so he did not enter the room, but stood at the door and said: "Yesterday my aunt told me that there will be some people in the market in a few days to invite us into the camp, let me choose one of them, I think about it or want to see what you think." ”

Sima Shuo asked, "Camp?"

Seeing that Sima Shuo didn't know, Toad Xin explained: "The Iron Tree Hall Outer Hall is divided into two camps, one is recruited from the Nine Great Forces like us, and the other is a native of the Iron Tree Hall like Ming Shiyu's half-sister. ”

When she said this, Sima Shuo knew what he wanted to say, and said, "Can your aunt let you join the latter?"

Toad Xin nodded and said: "What my aunt means is that although the latter looks down on the former, its strength is much stronger than the former, and it will get more help in the competition of joining the inner hall, and if you join the latter, you will inevitably be bullied, and the chance of entering the inner hall is also smaller, so." ”

Seeing that Sima Shuo didn't speak, Toad Xin hurriedly added: "But my aunt said that because the five of you have good qualifications and are not from the Nine Great Forces, you can also choose to join the local camp like me." ”

This is the purpose of her coming to Sima Shuo, if she joins the local camp alone, how will she face everyone in the future, like a traitor.

Sima Shuo thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "If we join the local camp, then how will we face others in the future." ”

Toad Xin said: "But if you join the foreign camp, how can you face those people in the previous session? They have injured Xuhui." ”

This is also true, Sima Shuo was in a dilemma, and finally had to say: "Let me think about it." ”

Toad Xin also felt that this needed to be carefully considered, and there was still some time, so she said goodbye and went back first.

Closing the door, Sima Shuo lay down on the bed and sighed, on one side there were the guys from the previous session, and on the other hand, there was the annoying little girl Ming Shifei, he really didn't want to choose either side.

Closing his eyes, Sima Shuo rarely asked for the shadow's opinion.

Ying has been with Sima Shuo for a long time, and he has also figured out his character, and he rarely adopts the answer he gives directly, but if he analyzes it, he can listen to it more, and this matter is not a matter at all, so he said casually: "You just think about the disadvantages, you can think about it from a different angle, and see which camp you can get more benefits by joining it." ”

Sima Shuo felt that it made sense, but he didn't know what the benefits were, so he could only ask Toad Xin tomorrow.

After Sima Shuo fell asleep, Ao Xuan sneakily poked his head out of the book, secretly looked at Sima Shuo, and after confirming that he was asleep, he swam out of the book, and ran to Sima Shuo's stomach silently, coiled up, and then buried his head and continued to sleep.

As Ao Xuan got bigger and bigger, Sima Shuo no longer let him sleep with him, the first was naturally that he thought it was too heavy, and the second was that he wanted him to gradually start to learn to be independent, after all, he would have to leave sooner or later in the future.

At noon the next day, Sima Shuo privately found Toad Xin and asked about the respective advantages of the two camps.

Then he told Toad Xin one of his ideas and asked her if she agreed, Toad Xin pondered for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

When it was time for dinner, Sima Shuo walked up to the round platform, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and then said, "There are two camps in the outer hall, one is composed of those of us who have been selected, and the other is composed of people who were born and raised in Tieshutang. ”

"The number of people who have been selected is relatively large, but there is a lack of cohesion, the number of natives is relatively small, the average strength of the individuals is strong, and the cohesion is also high, but I believe you should also know why it is divided into two camps. ”

Tang Hua pouted and said, "Look down on us." ”

Sima Shuo nodded and said, "That's right, so except for the five of us, only Toad Xin with a background has the opportunity to join them, and you can't join them." ”

Wolf asked, "Why are you telling us this?"

Sima Shuo replied: "Because I think we are friends, I should tell you this no matter what the final choice is." ”

Wolf nodded, and Tang Lanyu then asked, "How are you going to choose?"

Toad Xin shook her head and said, "I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Ming Shiyu said: "No matter what you choose, I will not be angry with you. ”

Tang Bao also echoed: "Me too." ”

Wolf Guo said: "Everyone has his own ambition, just choose the one that is most beneficial to you." ”

Tang Hua pretended to be indifferent and said: "You can choose how you like, I don't care anyway." ”

Tang Gui said: "I think no matter what, as long as we work together. ”

Tang Lanyu shook his head and analyzed: "There are bastards who injured Xuhui in the gang, and there are Ming-style Fei who don't like the Ming-style jade, no matter how you choose, it will be difficult to unite as one." ”

Yue Ling'er said: "I want to be with everyone. ”

Xuhui proposed: "It's not an accident, why don't we join the foreign camp together." ”

Ao Xuan glanced at him and complained: "Self-deception." ”

Xuhui asked rhetorically, "Then what do you say?"

Ao Xuan said as a matter of course: "Brother Shuo, where I will go." ”

Xuhui 'cut' and said, "Nonsense." ”

The hall then fell silent.

Sima Shuo sat down, and Zhu Yi suddenly said, "I don't know which camp Songhuang's predecessor was in when he was young. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and then they remembered that they could ask the master's opinion, after all, he had been in the Iron Tree Hall for a long time, and he knew more and more details.

In the end, everyone decided to put this aside for a while because of Zhu Yi's words, and wait until tomorrow morning to ask.

After eating, everyone went back to their rooms.

After Zhu Yi packed up the iron box, he went to Sima Shuo's room, knocked on the door and did not enter the door, but handed a piece of cloth that had been folded several times to Sima Shuo, saying that it was the map that Tang Hua wanted.

Sima Shuo asked about the two things he asked him to investigate, and Zhu Yi was ashamed and said, "It will take some time." ”

Sima Shuo said: "It's okay, the second thing is not in a hurry, you want to help me check the first thing, it is best to have the result before the market." ”

Zhu Yizhong nodded and said, "Okay." ”

He knew that this would be very important to the question of which camp Sima Shuo would ultimately choose, so he made a commitment.

Early the next morning, as soon as Songhuang entered the door, he saw a long-awaited look on everyone's face, frowned and asked, "What trouble are you causing you?"

Tang Hua smiled and said, "How can I be, I just have something I want to ask you." ”

After listening to everyone's questions, Song Huang said: "This is easy to do, if neither side wants to join, then just tell them that what you want to enter in the future is the sixth hall." ”

Tang Hua was puzzled: "That's it, won't they trouble me?"

Songhuang clasped his ears and said, "It's not okay to look for trouble, I just look down on you." ”

Sima Shuo asked, "How do you say this?"

Songhuang asked rhetorically, "Do you know the respective responsibilities of the six halls?"

Sima Shuo replied: "On the way, I heard the introduction of Huopu's seniors. ”

Songhuang said as he walked: "Then you can tell me which church has the greatest authority and which church has the least authority." ”

The wolf replied, "The one with the greatest authority is naturally the first hall, which is in charge of the other five halls, and the least. ”

After hesitating for a while, not knowing whether to talk about it or not, Song Huang said indifferently: "Of course, the one with the least authority is our six halls, although there are many disciples in the outer hall, but in the end, they will either enter other halls, or be expelled from the Iron Tree Hall or sent to other places, and it has nothing to do with our hall." ”

walked to the stage and sat down, blew the tail finger that had just picked out his ears, and continued: "In addition, the recruitment and entrance assessment are not under our control, so there is nothing to fish, so those who choose to join our hall either know that their strength is limited or they have not been able to enter other halls when the hundred-year period is approaching. ”

Tang Hua sneered: "Isn't this what others have chosen?"

Song Huang nodded and said, "That's right, so as long as you say that you want to enter the sixth hall, those two camps will ignore you, because they are competing for the other five halls." ”

Tang Gui said bitterly: "This is too embarrassing." ”

Tang Hua echoed: "It's just that you can't lift it up when you walk on the road." ”

Songhuang shrugged his shoulders, the order he received was only to ensure the safety of these little guys, as for what kind of harassment and teasing they would be subjected to, it didn't matter what happened to him.

He coughed twice, stopped the discussion below, and then said, "Start class." ”
