Chapter 220: Contest 4
When these words were spoken, the news spread quickly, and the onlookers downstairs were still talking to each other, "This difficulty, I'm just afraid that the girl of the Xue family is going to be out!" I heard that the girl from the Xue family hasn't started practicing medicine yet. ”
"Yes, this girl got the name of a witch doctor, and she went to the Northland, and when she came back for more than a month, she did not start to practice medicine? Do you know how she does witchcraft? ”
All of them looked suddenly enlightened, "A little girl, how many real skills can she have, let's see first." ”
Behind the screen, nothing can be seen.
However, this use of witchcraft to cut off men and women and diagnose illness is not difficult for Xue Ling.
There is still a lot of discussion below, and when it comes to it, it is nothing more than those few words, which surround Xue Ling over and over again.
"I heard that if you go to the Northland for such a big thing, if you pray for rain successfully, but no one from the imperial court comes to reward you, nine times out of ten it will not succeed."
Another said, "The last witch doctor exam, I heard that Miss Xue San passed the exam without exemption with the art of divination, and this first round is nothing to her." ”
Regarding Xue Ling's witchcraft, it is roughly divided into two camps, one wave thinks she has some ability, and the other group does not think so, and the two waves of people argue around her.
However, even so, there are still only a handful of Xue Ling's victories.
Xue Ling sat upright, feeling waves of probing eyes.
She looked at the ink-colored screen and couldn't see the figure on the other side. However, while many things have changed, this one has not changed at all.
Xue Ling exhaled deeply.
In the first hexagram, she used a simple algorithm, and the result was no different from the previous life.
Those who can sit in the hall know a little about the art of divination, looking at the hexagram and skillful technique in Xue Ling's hand, they are all secretly surprised, and they do not speak.
There was silence in the room.
Little by little, time passed.
Xue Ling put down the hexagram and directly presented the answer.
At this time, the other three were still continuing to test.
The hall was still silent, but all eyes were on Xue Ling.
Visitation, questioning, ridicule, mixed with a lot of indistinguishable emotions.
Mrs. Qiu was the second to give the answer.
Jiang Mingxu is the third.
The head of the Wu family hesitated for a while, but also presented an answer.
King Gangneung watched from the beginning to the end.
For him, it doesn't matter how the outcome of this competition is, and it doesn't matter to him who is chosen as the witch master.
However, selfishly, he was a little curious about whether Xue Ling could really win.
Xue Ling was also very clear about King Jiangling's thoughts.
Among the four people, Old Lady Qiu is already in the twilight of the West Mountain, and she is old, even if she wins and sits on the position of the witch master, it will be difficult for a long time.
When the time comes, either a new election or a new head of the Wu family will inherit according to the old practice, either way, it is not the best choice.
And the head of the Wu family is the same.
Although the head of the Wu family is in the prime of life, he has been stubbornly ill for many years, and he can't survive for a few years, and the situation he faces is not much stronger than that of the Qiu family.
As for Jiang Mingxu of the Jiang family, he should be the most suitable candidate, but the concubine of the Jiang family and Zeng Yi, the chief of staff of the emperor's grandson, are very close, which is why King Jiangling has been hesitant and unwilling to win over Jiang Mingxu.
In such a comparison, Xue Ling has a tendency to stand out.
Witchcraft is outstanding, and he can do great things.
The only shortcoming is Xue Ling's daughter body, which is also the most favored place by King Jiangling in the previous life, and the daughter body is easier to control than men.
If Xue Ling can win, he will naturally be the most suitable person for King Jiangling.
King Jiangling took the answer, did not look at it carefully, and then handed it to Zeng Yi.
Zeng Yi looked at it, and then said, "The four family heads all answered within the time limit. ”
Zeng Yi raised his hand, "The answer has been written down in advance, please compare it with the prefect." ”
After reading it, the prefect of Jiangling said, "After the lower officials read it, these four family heads are worthy of being the best witch doctors in Jiangling, such a test question is really difficult for the four family heads, take a little rest, and you can participate in the next competition." ”
In order to show fairness, the prefect of Gangneung also handed out the answer and circulated it.
Even so, many people still insist that Xue Ling is cheating.
Xue Ling didn't care, and walked over, in this life, she deliberately extended the test time, but the other three family heads still waited for her to hand in the answer sheet before handing in the answer sheet in turn.
In her previous life, it seemed to be the same, at that time, she answered quickly, and she didn't realize that there was a factor that the three elders deliberately wanted to make.
The mentality is different, but Xue Ling still feels a little warm.
She walked over and said generously, "Thank you for the mercy of the three elders." ”
As soon as she said this, someone whispered, "I'll just say that the four major families are in-laws, and the other three heads of the family are all the elders of this Xue girl, so they must be merciful, it seems that this girl's witchcraft is really average, and I don't know how to serve as the head of the Xue family." ”
Xue Ling didn't realize that she and Old Lady Qiu were divided into a group.
Old lady Qiu also heard someone talking like this, so she said with a smile, "Girl, show your real skills, just now, many people don't believe that you have real skills, so you can show them how much you have learned from your father." ”
Looking at Old Lady Qiu, Xue Ling was very respectful, "Thank you, uncle, grandfather, I will do my best." ”
Old Lady Qiu's eyes were full of approval, "I remember that time, all eyes were on Jiyuan, I saw him grow from a child to a man, and it only took a few days for people to be forced into a desperate situation, that is, to be reborn, blue out of blue is better than blue, I believe you will not disappoint me." ”
In the circumstances of his previous life, Xue Ling had always had a deep concern about the choice of the Qiu family and the Wu family to interfere with the head of the Xue family.
At this point, I finally let go of some mustard.
She tore off the pendant around her waist, this pendant was Old Lady Qiu's promise to her, but the arena was like a battlefield, and she didn't need to give in.
"I understand my uncle's and grandfather's heart, but this time it's about the big plan of Jiangling, this pendant is carrying, even if it wins, it is not a victory, I understand my uncle's kindness at the beginning, but now I just want to go on with my own strength, I want to put everything aside and compete with Old Man Qiu as the Xue family group."
She looked at the Jiang family and the Wu family, "The same is true of the Jiang and Wu family heads. This kind of competition is unprecedented, whether you win or lose, you must be open. ”
The pendant in Xue Ling's hand fell into Siyu's hand, "You take it for me, and then return it to me after the competition is over." ”
Siyu held the pendant and retreated.
