Chapter 20 Irreplaceable Proof
"I didn't expect you to speak for me. Seeing Fang Xiandao approaching, Luo lightly jumped off the long table.
"Isn't this strange?didn't the exclusive possession of the spiritual fire land before also be achieved by helping each other among the families?" Fang Xiandao shook his fan, "Although it is only a rule of one day, our family did not participate in the discussion. β
The young man on the side, that is, Luo Fengqing, the senior brother of the Luo family, couldn't help frowning, "This matter was not fully negotiated by sitting at the table, the initiator at that time was Fei Nian, and unfortunately there were no children of the Fang family present, so it can only be said that the matter is urgent." Besides, there are so many people scattered that I think it's a reasonable rule one day, otherwise they'll really make a fussβ"
"Well, I'm not here to listen to you. Fang Xiandao interrupted him, "I just want to confirm one thing, even if it is a great wilderness night, the Luo family will not stop there, and obediently evacuate Qingshan Town, right?"
He asked about the Luo family, but his eyes were not on the senior brother at all, but at Luo lightly.
The latter nodded, "If it was that evil night a hundred years ago, of course the Luo family would have avoided it, but it has been released back and forth many times, and I haven't heard of rumors of a bad night raging in Qiguo, so how much power it still has, I want to see it with my own eyes." β
"As I expected. Fang Xiandao chuckled, "And your method should be to use those wells below Qingshan Town, right? It's a pity ......"
Luo Fengqing was already nervous when the other party mentioned the shaft, and when the last sentence came out, he answered almost immediately, "What is a pity?"
"It's a pity that the best place has been occupied by our family. Fang Xiandao grinned.
Luo Fengqing couldn't help but be stunned.
"Otherwise, what do you think we are doing in the two days when the Fei family and the Luo family occupy the spiritual fire land?" he said as he played with the fan in his hand, "Although divination cannot accurately assert the details of the incident, it is not difficult to warn of danger and find a place to hide. The matter of collecting the spiritual fire has allowed you to take the lead, and this time it should be the Fang family's turn first. Remember what I said β only those who take the lead can turn evil into good fortune? β
"You ......," Luo You'er said hurriedly, "Are you saying this to deliberately anger us?"
"It's just a little bit of a return salute. Fang Xiandao smiled slightly, "Besides, if I were a genius of the Luo family, I wouldn't tell everyone about such an important matter." Even after all these years, the night of the Great Wilderness is still very dangerous for us, and if the candidates who fled in a hurry can attract the attention of some evil people, won't they be able to relieve their own pressure accordingly? Or are you so anxious to eliminate your opponent?"
Without waiting for everyone to reply, he gently arched his hand towards Luo, turned around and walked out of the crowd.
"So...... I'll see you again in two days, and hopefully you'll be safe and sound by then. β
"This guy is really hateful!" Luo Changtian said indignantly.
"Abominable is abominable, but what he said is not unreasonable. Luo Fengqing looked at Luo lightly with a reproachful expression, "I don't understand why you insist on making the clues we have so hard to get public." In addition to pushing the Luo family to the cusp, this move is really harmful and not beneficial. Gently, it's not that I want to use my identity as a senior brother to suppress you, it's just that you have been a little abnormal in the past two days - I blocked the hotel lobby with a female disciple, and then dragged a group of people up the mountain, and I didn't explain the reason to me from beginning to end. Don't you believe me?"
Luo Youer shrunk back, "Uh...... That's not a question of believing each other......"
"I didn't ask you. Senior Brother glared at Luo You'er and continued, "Now that the Fang family is one step ahead of us, there are few usable places in the shaft itself, and it is difficult to say how many people we can leave behind when they occupy it, and the whole plan basically has to be repeated." What's more, there is also the Fei family - even if they don't know as much about the Great Wilderness Night as we do, they won't be ignorant. Your announcement is tantamount to reminding the Fei family to prepare in advance and increase the pressure of competition on yourself. β
He paused, and his tone became a little more stern, "Senior sister, it's not that I don't allow you to have secrets, but you shouldn't put your personal interests above the Luo family." If you don't want me to report this matter to Master and Patriarch, now explain the reasons and thoughts of what I have done in the past two days!"
"Tell you, won't you tell Master?" Luo asked softly.
β...... It depends on the severity of the situation. Luo Fengqing said in a deep voice.
"Actually, I've been thinking about the nature of this exam, or rather...... What exactly does the proctor want to see. She was silent for a moment before she spoke, "Gathering spiritual fire?" As long as the place is chosen properly, ordinary people can do it. And what did we do? We took advantage of the large number of people to exclude the scattered sects, and internally agreed on the distribution results to ensure that some of the disciples could pass the exam. Other than that, there's nothing else. β
"Is there anything wrong with this?" Luo Fengqing said as a matter of course, "Strengthen your own strengths, cover up your own weaknesses, and use your strength to attack the opponent's weaknesses, so that we can not be defeated in a hundred battles, Master has always taught us this." β
Luo You'er and Luo Changtian also nodded.
"No problem, but it has nothing to do with the Monk itself. Luo lightly showed a strange smile, "If that's the case, the Jianghu Sect is only stronger than us. Think about it, if the Wu Gang or the local ruffian Haoqiang joined this exam, would they be able to pass the taxi exam? In terms of numbers, they are more, and in terms of means, they ......" Speaking of this, she paused slightly, as if she remembered something, and said with a little annoyance, "Fang Shu is not necessarily superior. If we really fight, maybe we will lose. β
Luo Fengqing shook his head, "Those people can't even feel their anger, and they are not qualified to take the taxi examination at all, why do you need to make such an assumption of self-surrendering identity?"
"Just to give you an example, the reason why alchemists are alchemists is because they can do things that ordinary people can't. The Privy Council needed alchemists, not gangsters who won by numbers. Luo said softly and calmly, "Now I know what makes us unique, or the essence of this exam. β
"Confrontation...... Evil?" Luo You'er asked tentatively.
"More than that. Remember what I said about the Privy Council's duty, to maintain order in the world. She shifted her gaze to the panicked crowd in the square, "If this isn't an exam...... What should the Privy Council do?"
"Hmm, first notify the local government, dismiss the people, and then stop the spread of the Great Wilderness Night?"
Luo Changtian followed her gaze for a while, and suddenly showed an expression of disbelief, "Mo Fei, what do you mean-"
"That's right, I think the gathering of spiritual fire is just a faΓ§ade on the surface, and the core of the exam is the talent here - all the participants are conducting a deduction of evil events, but it is not the local residents who play the role of the people, but the candidates themselves. Luo said softly in the late summer morning breeze.
The seemingly calm words exploded in the hearts of the Luo family's children like a thunderclap!
"Candidates who are afraid of risks and are afraid to face evil spirits will be reminded and evacuated by us, and we will resist the coming bad night. No matter how difficult the situation may be, maintaining order remains the primary task of the alchemists. It has nothing to do with the number of people, and it is not divided into families, and those who dare to stay are our help. The Jianghu sect can't do this, and neither can the ruffians. β
Luo gently pulled up the tips of the hair that was blown in front of his forehead, and said word by word, "This is what Fang Shi can do, and it is also our irreplaceable proof!"
"Wow," Luo You'er was the first to sigh, "When you say that, I feel like my whole head is transparent!"
That's why the invigilator chose the Tilting Mountains as the test location...... So that's what happened. β
"He is worthy of being a genius among the new generation of disciples of the Luo family!"
Luo Changtian and Luo Tang also praised.
Luo Fengqing was speechless for a while, looking at the woman standing in front of him, obviously close at hand, but he felt that the other party was getting farther and farther away, and even had the illusion that he could only see her back.
When did this change begin?
He remembered that when Luo was a sensation in the past, he was happy for him from the bottom of his heart.
"Well, I agree with what you said, if it's just to grab the spiritual fire, the family's advantage is indeed greater. Luo Fengqing took a deep breath, "But what does this have to do with you blocking the hotel lobby and taking people up the mountain without telling me?"
"I have no comment on that. Lowe blinked slightly.
"Senior sister, you-"
Luo Fengqing was about to say something more when a hurried shout disrupted his questioning.
"No, no!"
I saw a candidate stumbling into the square, shouting out of breath, "It's not good, we're trapped in this town!"
"What does it mean to be trapped?"
"Don't talk about it, just say half of it!, what the hell is going on?" the already uneasy crowd erupted in a new round of commotion.
"When I noticed that the townspeople were gone, I wanted to see the situation on the other side of the drawbridge, but I didn't expect it...... The bridge was cut off!"
"You say...... What!?"
This news was like a thunderbolt, which stunned the candidates present.
Only the children of the Luo family maintained a calm demeanor.
"Senior sister. β
"Lo gently. β
Luo Youer, Luo Changtian...... As well as the other Luo family, they all looked at Luo lightly.
Lowe knew softly that whatever she did next, she would have their full support.
She pulled out a third amplified note and stepped onto the table again.
"Don't panic, everyone, there is more than one way out of the town! Between the ridges of the spiritual fire land, we found two grottoes, in which several large wooden kites were stored, although they are some years old, but the skeleton is basically intact, and it should be usable if repaired! Now what we have to do is to build a flying platform and prepare for evacuation. If someone is willing to help me, come with me now!"
"Come with us!"
"With the Luo family!"
The other Luo family disciples helped out.
The expanding chaos in the square was suppressed.
Although there are still many people arguing, at least at this moment, everyone has a goal to follow for the time beingβlike the straw in front of the drowning man, whether it works or not, they will want to give it a try.
Some of them began to move in the direction of Qingshan, and the one at the front of the line was the blue-robed and double-feathered Luo family disciple. Completely different from the situation three days ago, the Youzhou family has become the leader of the crowd at this moment.
