Chapter 272: The Beginning of the Event

After more than ten minutes of inspection, it was finally Ling Feng's turn and a few of them, Lu Zhongliang and Lu Daodou, the two of them passed the guard's inspection very smoothly, but they were stuck when they arrived at Ling Feng, because they hadn't seen Guan Zi Ling, so they stopped Ling Feng, not only that, but the guards nearby all came over when they saw the situation. The man who seemed to be the leader of the team walked over and the guard reported, "Report to the captain, this person does not have my Guan Zitang identity token, what do you say should be done with this person?" Although the guard said it, the captain still came over to confirm in person whether Ling Feng really didn't have an identity token. When he found out that there was none, he also had a trace of hostility towards Ling Feng. At this time, Lu Zhongliang, who saw that the situation was not good, hurriedly stepped forward and said to the team leader, "Don't get me wrong, he took the Guanzi order." It's the guest of honor of the Three Elders, if you really want to confirm, send someone to the Three Elders to confirm immediately." Hearing this, the squad leader was silent for a moment and said, "In that case, then I won't delve into it, and I should sell your brother's face." After saying that, he motioned for the guard to let Ling Feng pass. After passing, the three of them walked towards the area in the middle.

Just as the three of them walked to the ring, Lu Zhongliang opened his mouth and said, "Brother Fenglin, I think now I should take you to the preparation room to meet the three elders." To be honest, if Lu Zhongliang hadn't reminded him, Ling Feng would have forgotten about the fact that he was going to compete on stage by now. So Ling Feng said to Lu Daodou, "I'm sorry, Brother Daodou, I think I have to go and meet the three elders first, and when this grand event is over, I will visit you in person, and then you have to prepare wine and food for me." After finishing speaking, Ling Feng walked to the preparation area under the leadership of Lu Zhongliang. Soon, the two of them saw the three elders who were waiting outside the preparation area. At this time, Lu Hongren also noticed Ling Feng and the two who had already rushed over, so Lu Hongren also stepped forward and said, "Little brother Fenglin, you are here, I have been waiting for you here for a long time." Let me roughly explain to you the purpose of this competition, this event is held to determine the new hall master of my Guan Zi Hall, after all, a team without a leader will not be able to go far. I think Zhongliang should have told me about arranging for you to compete, and the reason why I did this is that I hope you can win the final victory. If you hadn't participated, this time it would probably be Lu Wangxi who would have won the position of hall master." When he heard this, Ling Feng expressed the doubts in his heart, "I want to know why I was arranged to fight against Lu Wangxi, but the Great Elder didn't raise any objections, after all, I had targeted him before, did you mean that you didn't inform him?"

Lu Hongren didn't hide it and said, "That's definitely something to tell, no matter how discordant the two of us are, he is also the great elder of my Guan Zi Hall." But I was also curious that when I told him about this decision, he readily agreed to our idea. In fact, I'm ready to be opposed by him, who would have thought that he wouldn't play cards according to the routine, forget it, since it's settled, let's do it. Little Brother Fenglin, I hope you can do your best." After hearing Lu Hongren's answer, Ling Feng opened his mouth and said, "Don't worry, Third Elder, I will definitely do my best, after all, I also promised Lu Hongsen's seniors." Obviously, when Ling Feng said about Lu Hongsen, Lu Hongren's expression changed a little that was not easy to detect. Then Lu Hongren said to Lu Zhongliang, "Zhongliang, you first take Brother Fenglin to the elders' seat of my Guan Zi Hall to watch the progress of my church building day. I'll go over to him after I'm done with the follow-up, and then you'll go about your own business." Hearing Lu Hongren's arrangement, Lu Zhongliang opened his mouth and said, "Okay, Third Elder, I'll take the Fenglin brothers to the elder seat now." When he said this, Lu Zhonghao seemed to think of something, so he asked, "But the third elder, I remember that there are not a total of more than a dozen seats in the elder seat, so which seat should I take the Fenglin brothers to?" Lu Hongren opened his mouth and said, "You can take him to my seat, and then wait for me to arrange the matters after the meeting." After finishing speaking, Lu Hongren arched his hand to Ling Feng and hurried out of this area.

Of course, after that, Ling Feng also followed the elder seat that Lu Zhongliang arranged with Lu Hongren to look for. Soon, Lu Zhongliang took Ling Feng to the back of the elder's seat, and at this time, the guard also stopped Lu Zhongliang, and then said solemnly: "Lu Zhongliang, you don't stay in the audience, what are you doing here in the elders' seat." Lu Zhongliang also hurriedly explained, "Brother Feng, I received an order from the Third Elder to bring the Wind Forest that came with me to the Elders' Table. I think the three elders should have given you the passage of qi in advance." Hearing this, the face of the person named Brother Feng softened a little, and then he said, "In that case, you can take him in, but you have to come out immediately after sending the person." Otherwise, I'll have to act according to the law." Lu Zhongliang also hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Brother Feng, I won't stay too long, I'll come out if I send people." After finishing speaking, he walked in with Ling Feng, and after the two of them passed a low step, they also came to the front position of the elder seat, Lu Zhongliang pointed to a position for Ling Feng and said, "See, Brother Fenglin, the seat I pointed to is the place that the three elders have arranged for you, you just need to go there, I won't take you over, after all, our Guan Zi Tang has restrictions in this regard." After finishing speaking, Lu Zhongliang walked out towards the place where he came.

Since Lu Zhongliang had told him which seat he was going to, Ling Feng naturally walked towards that place. During this journey, Ling Feng also met a few elders he knew before, and those elders also greeted Ling Feng warmly. According to the seat pointed out by Lu Zhongliang before, Ling Feng came to the seat on the third position starting from the left. Ling Feng took a closer look at these seats before he realized that the order in which these seats were placed was according to the status of these elders. Obviously, the leftmost one should be the position of the Great Elder, as for the right side is the position of the Second Elder, and here is Lu Hongren's position when he arrives at Ling Feng. By analogy, Ling Feng also came up with the ranking of the elders on the right in the Guan Zi Hall. Ling Feng remembered that Lu Fengren, who had died before, seemed to be the tenth elder, so his eyes also looked at the tenth position. Ling Feng could see that there was no one in that seat, and at this time, Ling Feng couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Lu Fengren.

At the moment when Ling Feng lost his mind, the four elders came to his seat, and when he saw Ling Feng, he greeted him, "Hello little brother Fenglin, here I thank you for all the people in Guan Zitang." It was precisely because of the words of the Fourth Elder that Ling Feng's attention once again shifted from the position of the Ten Elders to the Fourth Elder on his right. Ling Feng also replied, "What the four elders are talking about, I'm just doing my best. Besides, I'm not friends with you, and to say these words of gratitude is to be out of sight." Hearing this, the four elders also laughed and said, "Hahaha, Brother Fenglin is really a cheerful person, today you are a friend, and I Lu Shuang have handed it over." To be honest, Ling Feng hadn't had much close contact with this Lu Shuang before, although it was only a very simple exchange today, but Ling Feng could see that this Lu Shuang's personality was definitely that heroic and cheerful type. In the process of this exchange and discussion, Ling Feng and Lu Shuang also had hearty laughter from time to time, and it could be seen that the two were chatting very happily. This kind of occasion, which was originally a very dull occasion, was also much lightened because of the chat between the two.

It didn't take long for Lu Hongren to return to the elder seat, and when he saw Ling Feng and Lu Shuang talking and laughing, he didn't immediately go up to interrupt the conversation between the two, but turned to explain some things to the other elders. When they were all about to explain, Lu Hongren came over and said, "How about the little brother of the wind forest, do you feel that my fourth brother's character is okay?" Ling Feng nodded approvingly, and then said, "That's right, after some conversation with the Fourth Elder, I found that the Fourth Elder is not only a bold person, but also a benevolent person who preaches morality." Hearing Ling Feng's evaluation, Lu Hongren said, "I didn't expect the little brother to be able to point out the character traits of the fourth child so profoundly in such a short period of time, so where do you think the shortcomings of the fourth brother are." Ling Feng replied, "Actually, it's his so-called merit, being honest and moral is definitely an indispensable virtue for a cultivator, but these two are not so suitable for the four elders." At this time, Lu Hongren also asked curiously, "Oh, why is it not suitable."

Ling Feng also said eloquently, "Because your Guan Zi Tang is biased towards killing people in terms of both the exercises and martial arts you cultivate, and all the tasks that Guan Zi Tang takes are some assassination tasks, so I said that it is not suitable for the four elders." You must know that in the process of killing, as a qualified murderer, you must not have a trace of pity and sympathy for your goal, otherwise you will miss and die on a certain mission one day. And this morality is the easiest thing to make a killer change his original intention, once a killer's will begins to be firm, it is the easiest time for him to be discovered and the easiest to miss, and then it will be his life that will be lost as a killer." After listening to Ling Feng's analysis, Lu Hongren said: "Xiaoyou's analysis is not wrong at all, this fourth child suffered a big loss because of his character before, and he almost lost his life that time. Fortunately, I rescued him in time at that time, otherwise his life would have really been there. Since that time, the fourth child has also begun to change, he has begun to become bold and moral to his own talents, and once he receives the assassination mission, he will immediately become a cold-blooded killer. Since the fourth child is willing to talk to you for so long, it means that he still appreciates you very much."

Hearing this, Ling Feng didn't expect that Fourth Elder Lu Shuang would still have such an experience, but Ling Feng also knew very well that people would only slowly change after experiencing some things. In fact, Ling Feng agreed with that sentence very much in his previous life: The journey of human growth is the process of losing that innocence. Of course, this sentence was not said by a celebrity, it can be said to be a summary of Ling Feng's life in his previous life. Then, Ling Feng said to Lu Hongren as he got up, "Third Elder, since you are here, then I will return this seat to you." After finishing speaking, Ling Feng had already left this seat. After seeing Ling Feng's movements, Lu Hongren opened his mouth and said, "Little brother Fenglin, you are out of sight, in that case, you should sit on the seat of Feng Ren first, and wait and watch the progress of my Guanzitang grand event." After finishing speaking, Lu Hongren pointed to the empty seat, and then Ling Feng also followed Lu Hongren's prompt to the seat. Just as Ling Feng sat down, an elder got up and came to the center of the square, and then the elder said to everyone, "First of all, I am here to welcome all the family members who have taken time out of their busy schedules to participate in the founding day", and then there were bursts of applause from the audience.

After the applause was over, the elder continued, "I think you should have heard that this church building day is a little different from the past, and I won't say much about the rules and other things, so I will explain to you the main purpose of this church building day. Everyone knows that since the disappearance of our previous hall master, Lu Hongsen, there has been no news of him. We haven't had a hall master for many years. It may be because of the lack of leadership of the hall master over the years, there are also some problems within our Guanzi Hall, which has caused the overall strength to diverge. I also know very well that there are still many members of the clan who have not come back to participate in this church building day. Of course, we also know very well that this situation cannot be sustained any longer, otherwise it is very likely that our Guanzitang will disappear in the long river of history. Therefore, after careful deliberation, the elders decided to re-elect a new hall master who has potential, strength, brains and leadership that can be recognized by everyone." When they heard this, everyone was also in an uproar, to be honest, they had heard that they had only heard about it before, but when this matter came out of the elder's mouth, everyone must have been a little surprised.

The elder who spoke at this time was also very aware of the mood of the crowd, so he did not continue to speak, but planned to wait until the crowd had almost eased up before continuing to explain. This situation did not last long, and the chatter in the square began to fade away. Seeing this, the elder spoke, "Since everyone has discussed it almost, then I will continue to talk. I think everyone must be very puzzled why this position of hall master is not inherited by us elders, although we have been cultivating for a longer time than young people, and we have more social experience and experience than young people. But that's why we decided to choose a younger generation to sit in the position of the head of the hall, after all, young people have more opportunities and time than us, and they also have more potential than us. I believe that you are also more adaptable than us when facing new things in this world. I believe that under the guidance of fresh blood, our Guan Zi Tang will further reproduce the glory of our ancestors." When he said this, the elder also raised the decibel level of his voice intentionally or unintentionally, and the young people present were also enthusiastic when they heard it. At this moment, from the elder's words, they could tell that the future of Guan Zitang completely depended on their group of young cultivators, and naturally the sense of responsibility in their hearts had also climbed to a new height.

After the mood of this group of young people calmed down a lot, the elder spoke again, "Actually, the rules for selecting the personnel for the position of hall master this time are very simple, as long as which junior can win the final victory in this competition, he will be the new hall master of my Guan Zi Hall. I believe that the young people who can win the victory will be able to take the position of the master of the hall and lead us back to the glory of the Guanzitang." Just after these words fell, Lu Hongren suddenly fell to the stage and found the elder's side, and said, "I would like to add one more point here, of course, it does not mean that the winner will definitely be able to sit in the position of the hall master. The winner must pass two more tests before he can become the new hall master of my Guanzitang." As soon as Lu Hongren finished speaking, everyone in the audience began to discuss, and one of them whispered, "I'll just say that the position of hall master is not so easy to do, and I don't know what these two tests are." After hearing everyone's discussions, Lu Hongren said, "Originally, I planned to wait for someone to win before announcing the remaining tests, but after hearing everyone's opinions today, I have decided to inform you of these two tests in advance now." To tell the truth, when Lu Hongren said this, all the juniors present also looked at their three elders with anticipation.

Lu Hongren was not very anxious and said, "Actually, the remaining two tests are quite simple, the first test is to be able to hold up three rounds in the attack of the second elder, of course, he will use three points of force, four points of force and five points of force respectively in these three rounds. As for the other test, it is to enter the secret place of my Guanzitang, and be able to survive for one night in the area where the Wind Shadow Wolf is located. As long as these two tests can be successfully passed, then I will be the new hall master of Guanzitang." When Lu Hongren finished saying these words, the young generation in the audience fell into excitement again. Someone in the crowd discussed, "These last two tests are too difficult, not to mention the one that singles out the second elder, it is impossible to live in the realm of the Wind Shadow Wolf for one night." The other person also spoke, "It's nothing, it is said that even the second elder may not be able to survive in that area for long." The third person spoke, "I heard that the Wind Shadow Wolf is an existence that can kill an elder in an instant, isn't this intentionally sending people to death." Where is this to choose the hall master, I think this is more difficult than selecting elders."

At this moment, a cultivator who was a little more understanding suddenly opened his mouth and retorted: "You are elected as the hall master of our Guan Zi Hall, you are an elder, if you set up a random test, then our hall master is too easy to be." You don't want to think about why there are these three tests, first of all, if the candidate for the position of hall master can't be the first among the younger generation, it means that his own potential is not qualified to lead everyone. Secondly, if he can't survive three rounds in the hands of the Second Elder, it means that his own strength is not qualified to lead everyone, and in the end, if he can't survive overnight in the area where the Wind Shadow Wolf is active, it means that his own perseverance is not qualified to become a leader. As the saying goes, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and as a leader, the most important thing is to have a strong hiding ability. Therefore, each of the three seemingly difficult tests is actually to test whether the winner has the most basic ability to lead everyone." After hearing this person's analysis, the surrounding cultivators also began to agree with this person's opinion. In fact, at this time, Lu Hongren and Ling Feng also heard this person's words, so Ling Feng and Lu Hongren cast surprised eyes at that person. Neither of them could have imagined that someone in the audience would make such an inference, after all, what the person in the audience said was the original purpose of Lu Hongren and their test. As for Ling Feng's surprise, it was because he didn't expect that there would be people in the audience who thought the same way as him. It is precisely because of the appearance of this person that the original awkward atmosphere has been broken.
