After arranging the preparations for the ceremony, Blue Phoenix returned to the village management center, which is in the center of the whole "big pie" - the village management office.

There were already a few old immortals sitting around here, waiting for her for a long time.

"Lord Blue Phoenix." Seeing her walking back, several old men hurriedly got up and bowed to her. This is the etiquette in the village, even the elders need to bow to the acting "head of the family".

But there is another thing that the big guys also know, the blue phoenix, the "substitute", is also the leader.

"I'm sorry, but this was a bit rushed." One of the old men showed a thief's smile, looked at the blue phoenix and smiled for a while: "I didn't inform you much in advance, so it must be very troublesome for you to suddenly prepare for the succession ceremony." ”

Blue Phoenix smiled and shook his head: "Where, this is my job." To be honest, I was surprised that Lord Xiao Xiao was able to return to the village, but it was an unexpected joy. ”

"The Blue Phoenix is a joke." The other two old men laughed: "Once this Lord Xiao Xiao returns to his position, it will be a big deal, and then Lord Blue Phoenix will have to give up his seat, this-"

Seeing the two of them smiling and frowning, Lan Phoenix pursed her lips and said, "Of course, I have the honor to act on behalf of the power, and I am already very grateful, since Lord Xiao Xiao has returned to the throne, this is also her power." ”

Several people looked at each other and nodded.

I just didn't expect it to go so well.

One of the old men sat down and looked at the blue phoenix: "In the past few years, you have indeed been asked to worry about the affairs of the village, and a few of us old guys also know that it is not easy for you to be conscientious." But after all, there are rules in the village. ”

Blue Phoenix nodded: "That's right." ”

Who knows, he has been buried behind everyone, but a thin old man got up suddenly, his eyes seemed to be protruding, shining, his figure was withered and thin, and he couldn't see four taels of fat up and down his body, only his hands behind his back, and said fiercely:

"You guys, you can't speak clearly, you have been vague for so many years before you become what you are now. This blue phoenix, what tricks does the ghost know she used? Do you really think she is a good person with a good heart and a good face? ”

His words choked the old men speechless.

Blue Phoenix also frowned: "How do you say this?" ”

The little old man turned around and snorted, "You know it in your own heart." ”

The old man on the side shook his head: "You mean, that was the incident back then?" So, how long has it been? ”

"The original village chief is still alive, why did he let this woman gain power?" The little old man squinted at the blue phoenix, still unconvinced.

Blue Phoenix had no choice but to defend: "The old village chief took the initiative to hand it over to me, so that I could manage the village on my behalf before the next head of the family inherited it." ”

"Oh?" The little old man's eyes were full of anger: "Then you explain to me, he is so decent, why should he give you this unknown woman?" ”

Several old men on the side hurriedly comforted this guy who was thin and small, but his temper was very hot:

"You can't say that, old comrade. Although the old village chief is good, the development of the village is indeed limited. If it weren't for the big reforms that this blue phoenix has made to the village in the past few years, we would still be the focus of poverty alleviation. ”

Blue Phoenix smiled and said, "That's the truth. And guys, I'm not a woman of unknown origin. I grew up in this village and only left when I became an adult to learn the skills

What's wrong with coming back to build your hometown? ”

"I hope you're telling the truth!" The little old man has a negative airway.

Several old men next to him tugged at his sleeves and told him not to lose his temper, so as not to cause trouble.

At this time, another old man coughed, greeted Lan Phoenix, shook his head and said, "I'm really sorry, Lord Blue Phoenix, you know, he has a close relationship with Brother Jiu on weekdays, so naturally he can't look at it, don't be like him." ”

"I won't." Blue Phoenix grinned respectfully, arched his hand, and asked, "But I don't understand, what are the instructions for a few people to come to me at this time?" ”

"I just want to talk about it, just come and see." This old man is much calmer than the little old man, dressed very plainly, dressed in a long gown like the white jade bricks of the street, and has white hair, which looks a little more elegant.

"However, this fog is a few days earlier than usual, and I don't know about Lord Blue Phoenix's ritual—" the old man asked.

"Don't worry, everyone, I, Blue Phoenix, assure you that the ceremony is going well, and Lord Xiao Xiao's preparations, we are all in place."

"That's good." The old man smoothed his beard and asked, "What—the business of this stranger?" ”

Blue Phoenix's face changed, and he sighed: "This." I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up. ”

"How?" As soon as he said this, several old men stood up and looked at the blue phoenix in unison.

The blue phoenix remained silent and said: "Everyone, I can't hide it, because this fog is earlier than usual, and the chosen ones in a foreign land did not set off in advance as promised, and if they leave after dawn, I am afraid that it will be dangerous, so I said......"

"You want to change people on an ad hoc basis? Not! The little old man saw through the blue phoenix's trick at a glance, flicked his sleeves, and said angrily: "Strangers must be recognized as random selection, how can you be selected?" ”

Blue Phoenix shook his head: "No, no, no, you have misunderstood, how dare I, Blue Phoenix, trespass?" But now the situation is urgent, and on the third day of the ceremony, this stranger will accompany Lord Xiao Xiao, and there must be a definite candidate, isn't it? ”

Several people looked at each other, but no one expected that this stranger would actually make an appointment at this juncture.

"Then what do you say?" The elder in the long coat asked.

"What I said." Blue Phoenix narrowed his eyes: "It's better to be like this, the village usually has intersections with other villages, everyone who is in business, who practices medicine, usually has similar contacts - as long as you find some strangers from the village who have not returned to their hometowns due to fog, and then randomly select them from among them - this process, the elders can operate, and I, Blue Phoenix, have no objection." ”

"It's-"

Several people can't make up their minds, you look at me, I'll look at you.

The little old man snorted, looked at the blue phoenix, and said, "I'm afraid that these people have been screened by you for a long time, and the rest of the people may be like again, so you don't behave here." ”

"But without strangers, the ceremony really can't go on." Blue Phoenix grinned and said.

Several people were helpless.

"Well, we'll have to talk about it." The old man in the long robe said.

Blue Phoenix smiled without saying a word, stretched out his hand, and the wind chimes in his hand rang softly, as if to say "please".

They sat in a circle, discussing and discussing, unable to make up their minds, even if they saw the blue phoenix snickering arrogantly, it would be of no avail.

"What can I do?" One of the old men's faces turned white in a hurry. "Yes

Really let her take over, I don't know what will go wrong! ”

"That is, we finally managed to win this ceremony, and it took a lot of effort to bring Lord Xiao Xiao back, and now if something goes wrong in this link...... How can this be good? ”

"Wait, I don't think she dares to do that, right?" Someone peeked at the blue phoenix and asked, "Maybe it's really just an accident, I don't think it's a big problem for this stranger to change one." ”

"Are you stupid!" The little old man was furious: "This is clearly the plan of the Blue Phoenix!" Although I don't know how she made Shanwu come two days early, it was obvious that it was to target and manipulate the whole ceremony, how could it be as she wished. ”

"But she also said, let's choose?"

"There's no cure for you." The little old man laughed miserably: "She will say this, it is enough to prove that she has already laid eyeliner in the village, or that this group of "candidates" has already been arranged by her, no matter who we choose, it is her person - when the time comes, she can still make an excuse, the person is our choice, what can go wrong?" Aren't we at a loss for words? ”

"This ...... What can I do? "The old man has no idea.

The little old man narrowed his eyes: "Does anyone recognize the stranger this time?" ”

The old man in the long robe thought for a while, nodded, and said, "I know this, it's a young man named Zheng Bang." He was originally doing logistics work in the city, and recently returned to the village to settle the elderly, he is a sincere young man, and he works in the surrounding homestays on weekdays, and I am relieved of him. ”

The little old man nodded: "Then according to the original plan, no matter what, this Zheng Bang must come over, and we must not let the blue phoenix's plan succeed." ”

"But......" The old man in the long robe looked up at the four edges of the mountain valley and looked, the mountain peaks were like sharp blades piercing straight down from the sky, cutting the whole village neatly and roundly, leaving not even a single gap.

Under such circumstances, it is too dangerous to force people to trek through the dense fog that rises on all sides.

Although this mountain is not high, after all, there is a big drop in the mountain stream, and with this thick mountain fog, it is easy to step on the air and cause some accidents, which is even worse.

"She's already done it!" The little old man suddenly realized, and glared at the blue phoenix viciously—the latter even waved at him, and a little crack appeared on his face—no one could guess the age: "She had already calculated that we were going to spoil her, so she deliberately announced the predicted time two days later to catch us off guard!" ”

Several people also understood the woman's intentions.

"What then?"

"yes, it's too late to say anything now!"

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and their faces are full of unwillingness.

The elder in long clothes could only sigh at this time: "What's more, even if Zheng Bang comes, I'm afraid he won't be able to change anything." Now this woman is the only one in the village and quite powerful, and the power we have in our hands is not as good as her giving an order - if Zheng Bang comes, I don't know if he will die unexpectedly, but he will harm others. ”

Speaking of this, several old guys could only shake their heads and be speechless.

Even the little old man, who has always been radical, can only hold himself in pity at this moment: "Is there really no way......

Lan Phoenix chuckled and looked at a few people from a distance, seeing that they had also lost their fighting spirit, a smug look appeared on their faces, and they walked in front of a few people, and asked pretendly: "How about it, everyone, have you come up with a result?" ”.
