Chapter 8: The Big Questions Raised by the Vignette

The big exam of the Yuding Dynasty lasted about ten days in total.

Interestingly, the examination room is specially placed in a space magic weapon.

After all, there are millions of candidates who come to the big exam.

Despite the fact that the imperial city is very large.

But there is no room for the examination that can accommodate millions of people to take the exam together.

The examination room is placed in the space magic weapon not only solves this problem, but also ensures security, and there is basically no need to worry about someone disrupting the big exam.

this day.

Xia Fan, like many candidates, carried his bags and went to the examination room under the guidance of officials and patrol guards.

As for the little flower cat.

He was very relieved to leave it at home.

I didn't worry about the other party escaping during my big exam.

You must know that it is closed during the big exam.

In other words, for the next ten days, he would have to stay in the examination room located in the space magic weapon.

Ten days is not a long time, but it is not a short time.

If the little flower cat has the heart to escape, it will definitely be able to escape from the imperial city.

It's just that.

In the end, is she really sure that she can escape from Xia Fan's clutches?

Mountains and rivers map.

This is the name of the magic weapon of the space that can accommodate millions of candidates.

When Xia Fan stepped into the mountains and rivers with the current, the scenery in front of him changed.

As far as the eye can see, there are rows of buildings with red walls and green tiles.

Step on a smooth stone road.

Everyone went to the different examination rooms in an orderly manner according to the arrangement.

There is a rule in the exam room that prohibits any ear-to-ear contact.

So on the way to the exam room.

Xia Fan had never talked to other candidates.

Compared with the solemn examinees around him, Xia Fan seemed a lot lighter.

For these candidates.

This big test will determine their future destiny.

Don't dare to be negligent at all.

But Xia Fan is different.

Originally, he participated in this big exam because of his interest.

Whether you pass the test or not, it doesn't have the slightest effect.

Therefore, there is naturally no psychological pressure and burden on these candidates.

I have to say.

The tense and dignified atmosphere of the big exam made Xia Fan feel a familiar taste.

That's right.

Xia Fan remembered the college entrance examination in his previous life.

He vaguely remembered.

When I took the college entrance examination.

Both parents took a special leave to pick them up.

Even if they say they don't have to, their parents still insist on doing so.

Walk out of school after each exam.

He could see a dense crowd of anticipating parents standing outside the school gate.

Whenever parents see their children, they will immediately come forward to ask how they are doing, and carefully ask about topics such as how they are doing in the exam.

And after the last subject of the college entrance examination.

All the students walked out of the school gate as if they were completely relieved, wantonly venting their long-suppressed emotions.

From now on.

A new chapter has been opened in each other's lives.

Since this is the relationship of the literary examination.

The subjects of the examination are nothing more than scriptures, righteous policies, questions, calculations, and so on.

In general, there is not much difference from the ancient imperial examinations in previous lives.

The so-called wood shows in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

With Xia Fan's current knowledge, he can naturally hand in a satisfactory answer sheet that all the examiners are amazed by.

But he didn't.

It's just that he doesn't want to be too eye-catching and cause unnecessary trouble.

Outcome.

His exam papers are not brilliant, nor can they be talked about being superior.

It is said to be decent, but there is no lack of people who feel bright.

The ten-day exam passed in a blink of an eye.

However, it will take a month before the results of the big exam are announced.

After the exam.

When all the candidates have left the examination room one after another.

The entire imperial city has become a place for these candidates to vent their emotions wantonly.

Many candidates who walked out of the examination room cried bitterly, perhaps because they failed in the big exam, or because they felt that they must have cried with joy in high school.

You can see all kinds of life.

Xia Fan was about to return to the house.

There is no shortage of candidates who take the initiative to talk to themselves about invitations.

It's a pity that Xia Fan all expressed his refusal.

left people with a cold and indifferent image.

"Big bad guy! You're finally back!"

Xia Fan's return did not cause much of a stir.

After all, the local neighbors who were born and raised around.

Over the years, they don't know how many candidates they have seen who have come to take the big exam.

Before the results of the big exam are announced and posted.

It's not yet time to celebrate.

As soon as I got back to the backyard.

Xia Fan saw the little flower cat jump down from the stone table and rush towards him.

But when he was about to approach Xia Fan's feet.

She stopped abruptly.

At the same time, he deliberately turned his head and ignored Xia Fan.

"Tut-tut, do you miss me so much when I'm not there?"

Xia Fan smiled dumbly.

Bent down and hugged the little flower cat in his arms.

"Big bad guy! Let go of this king! Hurry up and let go of this king!"

The little flower cat suddenly struggled.

"And who said that this king misses you!"

"Duscible kittens. ”

Xia Fan came to the rocking chair and sat down, stretched out his hand and picked up the little flower cat, which directly made the struggling little flower cat instantly paralyzed.

"Don't ...... the big bad guys Don't ......"

The little flower cat screamed weakly.

"Nothing has happened in the Imperial City in the ten days I've been away, has it?

Xia Fan asked seemingly casually.

"No, what can happen in the Imperial City? It's just ......."

Little Flower Cat said subconsciously.

"What's it?"

Xia Fan raised his eyebrows.

"That's it...... Phew, big bad guy, you want to take the king's words again!"

The little flower cat stopped abruptly in the middle of her words.

Then he said angrily.

"Actually, even if you don't tell me, I'll know when the time comes, it's just a matter of time. ”

Xia Fan said disapprerovitically.

"Hmph, if you are willing to ask the king, the king can tell you!"

Little Flower Cat said in a tone full of tsundere.

"I think you've been cleaning up lately!"

When Xia Fan heard this, he immediately increased his strength in petting the cat.

"Meowβ€”"

The cat's eyes glared at the cat, which was strongly stimulated, and the whole cat became like a dried salted fish.

"Go play on your own!"

Xia Fan saw this.

Picking up the back of the little flower cat's fate, he threw it out of his arms.

The little flower cat came back to her senses in mid-air, quickly adjusted her body and landed on the ground steadily.

"You!"

Little Flower Cat just wanted to scold Xia Fan angrily.

But I saw Xia Fan sitting in a rocking chair and leisurely taking out a book to read.

The anger in my heart was temporarily held back.

β€œ...... This king asks you, nothing interesting has happened in the examination room in the past ten days, has it?"

There was a moment of silence.

The little flower cat squatted down and licked her paws as she pretended to have nothing to do.

"No, the test was calmer and smoother than I expected. "I love eBooks

Xia Fan said absentmindedly while flipping through the books in his hand.

"After all, the Yuding Dynasty doesn't know how many big exams it has held, and it can be said that it is full of experience in this regard, and it is normal that there are no accidents. ”

"Yes......"

Little Flower Cat nodded thoughtfully.

"In exchange, should you tell me what happened in the Imperial City in the past ten days?"

At this time.

Xia Fan suddenly looked at Xiaohua with a smile.

"Hmph, it doesn't hurt to tell you!"

Little Flower Cat snorted.

"On the third day after you went to take that boring exam, the Demon Town Division suddenly dispatched a large number of guards, as if they were arresting someone, and there was a lot of movement at that time. ”

"Since it's the Demon Suppression Division, it's likely to have something to do with your demon clan, right?"

Xia Fan thought for a while.

"How does this king know!"

The little flower cat has no good airway.

"Don't forget that this king is also a demon, if the people of the Demon Town Division find this king, do you think you can still see this king now?"

"Don't worry, under the prohibition I have imposed, there are only a handful of people in this world who can see through your true identity. ”

Xia Fan understated.

"Then why didn't you say it earlier!"

The little flower cat glared at Xia Fan angrily.

"I said, will you believe me?"

Xia Fan shrugged his shoulders and said.

β€œ...... If you know something, don't forget to tell the king! Okay! The king ignores you! Leave!"

After speaking.

The little cat turned around and climbed the eaves along the wall, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"It seems that something was missed during the big exam, hmm, let me see what the hell is going on. ”

After the kitten leaves.

Xia Fan put down the book in his hand and muttered to himself.

Then he closed his eyes, as if lost in thought.

Meanwhile.

There is an inn.

Corner location near the window.

"Brother Dou, what is the result of the investigation?"

Xia Mingyuan looked at Dou Yao in front of him.

At a glance, he knew that Dou Yao had just returned to the imperial city.

"Didn't your people tell you in the first place?"

Dou Yao glanced at Xia Mingyuan, picked up the thick bowl full of wine and drank it all.

"Naturally, they all said what they should say, but I want to know the results of Brother Dou's investigation. ”

"Actually, there is nothing to say, the other party is more cunning and decisive than we imagined, and after realizing that we deliberately let them go, they did not hesitate to abandon their people. ”

Dou Yao said in a calm tone.

"I chased them all the way from Gyeonggi to the westernmost county of Huangsa, and I never found them again. ”

"Huangsha County......"

Xia Mingyuan silently muttered about this place when he heard this.

Huangsha County was the westernmost county in the territory of the Yuding Dynasty.

And Huangsha County has this name completely because Huangsha County is on the verge of a vast desert and the sea.

This desert is a vast expanse of the sea.

It is said that the war between the demon race and the human power directly destroyed the local ecological environment many thousands of years ago, and as a result, this area that was originally a primeval forest landform turned into a desert.

Therefore.

Huangsha County was the most barren county in the Yuding Dynasty.

"Brother Dou, do you think their base camp will be located in that desert Hanhai?"

"I don't rule it out. ”

Dou Yao nodded.

"You and I both know that the desert is uninhabited, and the yellow sand is rolling for thousands of miles, if the other party sets up the base camp there, without the guidance of the mole, the possibility of us trying to find the location of the other party's base camp is very small. ”

β€œ......”

Xia Mingyuan couldn't help but fall silent when he heard this.

"What are you thinking?"

When Dou Yao was full of wine and food, he didn't see any reaction from Xia Mingyuan, and he couldn't help frowning and asking.

"I'm thinking about whether to recruit some of the forces of the Demon Division to go to Huangsha County to investigate. ”

Xia Mingyuan said slowly.

"If you have an idea, you can order it directly! Why do you want so much?"

Dou Yao was puzzled.

"I'm worried about whether they're making noise. ”

Xia Mingyuan said directly.

"After all, their exposure this time was too much of a coincidence. ”

"Cut, you guys just think too much. ”

Dou Yao shook his head and said.

"Sometimes we can't be blamed for thinking too much, but since the outbreak of this war, we have already suffered too much from the wise men of demons. ”

Xia Mingyuan's expression gradually became serious.

"For example, the current Nanli Continent, now under the planning and calculation of the wise men of the demon clan, almost the human side is breathless, if it weren't for the strong men of the major sects in Nanli Continent, otherwise Nanli Continent would have fallen into the hands of demons. ”

β€œ...... Do you suspect that there is a shadow of the Demon Clan's wise man's layout this time?"

Dou Yao pondered for a moment.

"Not a doubt, but a certainty. ”

Xia Mingyuan said in a deep voice.

"Since I took over the Demon Division, I don't know how much I have dealt with the demons, especially the wise men of the demon clan, we also don't know how many times we have fought in secret, and then the wise man of the demon clan suddenly stopped moving, with my understanding of the other party, the other party is by no means a person who gives up easily...... Therefore, it is very likely that the other party is secretly laying out something. ”

"It's something you should be worried about, and I'm just a pure thug. ”

Dou Yao said lightly.

"Anyway, is there a result of the investigation about that senior master?"

β€œ...... No. ”

Speaking of the topic.

Xia Mingyuan's face showed a look of regret.

"I have secretly sent people to the Wuheng Mountain Range of Donghai County with the detection magic weapon many times, but I have never found the retreat of the senior master, thinking that this senior master has already left the Wuheng Mountain Range. ”

"Xia Mingyuan. ”

Dou Yao suddenly shouted.

"What's the matter?"

Xia Mingyuan looked at Dou Yao with a puzzled expression.

"If you have the cultivation realm of that senior master, do you still need to worry about too many things now?"

Dou Yao stared at Xia Mingyuan and sighed meaningfully.

"I know what you're trying to say, but it's time for me ......"

Xia Mingyuan said calmly.

The meaning that Dou Yao wants to express is very simple.

In the end, this war about the future fate of demons and mankind has basically nothing to do with them.

Because to the end.

The powers of humans and demons may be about to strike.

Once the power of the shot.

They, like cannon fodder, can't even get involved.

Ultimately.

Only the mighty can really decide the winner or loser of this war.

It's just that the powerful shots tend to fall apart, so that the great powers still maintain the greatest restraint to this day.

But when either side is about to be defeated and annihilated.

Can these powers still sit still?

Dou Yao told Xia Mingyuan unmistakably.

If one day in the future, he can cultivate to the realm of great power, he will no longer need to worry about any intrigues.

Pity.

Xia Mingyuan told Dou Yao.

In fact, he was not without ideas.

However, there is not much time left for him.

In the future, he may indeed be able to cultivate to the realm of great power.

But by then, the war would not have ended for an unknown number of years, and it would be too late.

At least.

Now he can still minimize the losses of the human side in this war.

lest after the end of the war, there will be very few human beings left in the entire Qingwei Realm.

After all, the demons are also well aware of the advantages of humans.

Therefore, in the war, the demons do everything to destroy the human race.

It is a total of naked genocide.

What morality, what humanity and so on.

None of this exists in the eyes of demons.

They are only four words to live and die in terms of human beings.

In Xia Fan's opinion.

The two world wars in the previous life are simply a younger brother compared to the wars between the demons and humans in the Qing Wei Realm.

There is no comparison between the two levels of cruelty.

His personal experience in the Asuka Dynasty speaks for itself.
