Chapter 219: Contest 3

This situation is unprecedented, the court also specially assigned judges, the five-year witch master test, no longer as usual without suspense, but with real skills, real swords and real guns are the test, no one knows who ended up in the end, the results of the test hung the hearts of the entire Jiangling people.

The witch lord is sacred and noble to the people.

And now everything has changed, the future has become unknowable, and the people have unconsciously panicked a little.

Therefore, the crowd has reached an unprecedented point.

Almost half of the number of people was dispatched.

All eyes were on the stands.

At a glance, they are all men, the youngest are Zeng Yi and Nangong Sheng, who are less than the weak crown, and in addition, almost all of them are elderly men.

Among a group of big men, Xue Ling's slender figure was particularly conspicuous and abrupt.

Xue Ling was dressed in plain clothes, in order to be simple and generous, she tied up a green silk, at the age of fourteen, even if her immature little face looked indifferent, she was still secretly immature, and Xue Ling, who was sitting between a group of old men, was still a little out of place.

No one made a sound, but all eyes always looked at Xue Ling uncontrollably, but this gaze was more disapproving.

Whispering talk underneath.

The gambling houses on the streets are also secretly open.

Who among the four is the next witch master, it has been as high as a thousand gold.

Among them, (Naturally, Jiang Mingxu and Old Lady Qiu have the most voices, and they are almost evenly divided.)

Moreover, the voice of the head of the Wu family was secondary, and Xue Ling was almost not mentioned.

It's a hot month in May, but the streets are full of people.

One said, "The girl of the Xue family is too young, at this age, even if it is a male doll, it is a joke to take over the head of the family, not to mention a female doll, how can this Xue family also be the head of the Nandi Wu clan, how can it be so indiscriminate, it is already ridiculous and generous to let a little girl take on the head of the family, and she can actually participate in the choice of this witch master." ”

Another said, "I remember that she recommended herself to pray for rain in the Northland, and I heard that it was successful. ”

The previous voice said, "It shouldn't have been successful, I have a relative who works as an errand in the government, I didn't hear that people came from the court, and there was no reward, and when I went, someone made a special trip to pick it up, and when I came back, it was said that this is how I came back, and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson never sent someone to send it off, and I heard that after Miss Xue left, the emperor's eldest grandson was still digging a ditch in the north, and nine times out of ten it was unsuccessful." ”

This time, the choice of the witch master shocked almost half of the city.

The witch doctor was surrounded by people. The conversation crept through.

For the Xue family, most people have a special sense of dependence, and now they all say regretfully, "It seems that after this competition, the ranking of the four major witch clans in Jiangling will change again." ”

All eyes always inevitably fell on Xue Ling's body.

With a look of disapproval and regret.

Xue Ling's ears were sharp, although such a conversation was noisy, there were still sentences or two floating into her ears.

In fact, even if she can't hear it, she can guess it.

Although Xue Ling in the previous life still won the position of the witch master in the end, she was nervous and uneasy throughout the whole process.

At this time, she sat quietly, feeling the baptism of the onlookers' gaze, without the slightest fluctuation.

It didn't take long to sit there.

The bell rings.

King Jiangling got up at this time, "In the land of Jiangling, the Wu family has been inherited for nearly a hundred years, since the last witch lord passed away, the witch lord of the Wu clan has been vacant for nearly half a year. ”

He turned to look at Zeng Yi, "This Mr. Zeng is the chief examiner appointed by the DPRK. His Royal Highness the eldest grandson came to watch the ceremony, and Mr. Zeng talked about the competition. ”

Zeng Yi stood up, "I have discussed with the prince, this competition schedule, still follow the previous rules, the first test, divided into two groups, among the two groups, the best to enter the final test, the two people who have the final test, three days later, the witch master will be elected." ”

After he finished speaking, there was a little silence below.

Then someone asked, "This group is not fair, the four people are different in age, have different experiences, and the level of witchcraft is also uneven, and the opponents of the group assigned to them are weak, isn't it a direct pass, and it is not fair to the other two." ”

This person didn't say it directly, but everyone understood it, and the general meaning was that whoever was in a group with Xue Ling would pass the test directly.

Zeng Yi shook his head invisibly, contrary to what this person said, it was not lucky to draw a group with Xue Ling.

No one will believe it.

"Draw lots and group, there is already luck, moreover, the four can stand here as the head of the family to participate in the competition, must be outstanding in witchcraft, outstanding, the name of the first test is to pass the test, the head of the family must come up with each family to try their best to compete, a point on the field, regardless of affection."

After Zeng Yi finished speaking, no one said anything more.

"Now it's time to start grouping."

Zeng Yi asked people to take out a lottery holder.

Everyone looked at this lottery holder with a puzzled look.

Zeng Yi said, "This is just an ordinary lottery holder, but this time the lottery is a little different." The signatures are divided into black and white, and those who are drawn with the same will be divided into the same group. ”

A voice sounded, "When King Gangneung sent the document, he once said that if the score of witchcraft is too low, he will not be allowed to participate in the witch master's test for fifty years."

The question was asked by the prefect of Gangneung, "As the prefect, Xia Guan also adheres to the meaning of being responsible for the people, ask Mr. Zeng, what he said is too low, how to judge?" ”

This question is indeed what many people are curious about, Zeng Yi pointed to the four-sided screen, on which the landscape pattern is embroidered.

Four people sat behind each of the four screens.

"When a stick of incense is used, it is considered to be out of the game if it is a man or a woman with the techniques learned, and if there is any disease, it is wrong or unable to break it. Cancel the qualification for the competition, and,And the person who is out of the game draws the same color directly into the final test.,I don't know if you have any other questions.。 ”

It was none other than Xue Ling, the old lady of the Qiu family.

Old Man Qiu is the oldest, highly respected, no matter the age, or witchcraft, it is already convincing, the gambling game began, Old Man Qiu's voice is also the highest, therefore, with Xue Ling's group, no one thinks that Old Man Qiu has taken advantage.

Seeing that no one raised objections, Zeng Yi looked at the four people, "The four family heads are not ordinary witch doctors, this kind of difficulty can only be regarded as an entry level for the witch doctor family, it can be regarded as a test for the family masters, if you can't break it, you can't explain it to the people of the south, if you don't have any opinions, let's start." ”
