Hearing Bai Wei tell the origin of Old Man Wang, I was even more shocked and gasped, and hurriedly asked: "Old man, this is not authentic, I didn't expect that you are also a person in the exorcism world, and you are still a master, so why was your family killed like that by the gray fairy in the orchard, but you were indifferent, still waiting for us to help?" ”

After hearing this, the old man smiled, raised his hand and pointed up, and said with a smile: "Life is determined by heaven, and things are man-made." There are some things I want to manage, but manpower is difficult to fight against the sky after all. Little Liuzi, your grandfather Ma Sanshan and I are considered to be the same generation, and we also had a friendship back then, if we meet, I will call him an old brother! But he retired a little later than me, in other words, I understood the world before your grandfather, so I was disheartened and willing to hide in the mountains and became an orchard vegetable farmer. The disciples of my horse family are good at physiognomy, especially good at horses, all have horseshoe and horse bones divination insight into the back and forth of the family, I have already calculated that my Wang family will have a disaster if there is a discord, this is the destiny of heaven, and it is also the evil result of my early years in the exorcism world, so even if I personally clean up the nest of gray fairies in the mountains, the chaos in the family is difficult for me to clean up. You remember, in this world, exorcism is strange and powerful, but not everything can be solved by exorcism......"

"So you'd rather sit idly by?" I asked.

The old man shook his head and said: "No, it's not that you don't care, but you don't force it, you only entrust everything that is destined to the destiny of heaven, and sure enough, it won't be long before you come?" Sometimes when you are a person and do things, you still have to pay attention to going with the flow, why go back to heaven every time to rebel against fate? Haha......"

"You can see it so openly."

Who would have thought that the old man who gave us the horse at the beginning would hide it so deeply, and we couldn't help but feel ashamed, and then I heard Bai Wei ask again: "What about now?" Since you have already retired and no longer care about the affairs of the exorcism world, why are you now interfering in the selection competition of the Heavenly Punishment Mansion? ”

"People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes," the old man replied: "Although I have long stopped asking about the affairs of the exorcism world, but after all, I am a member of the Tianzhu Mansion, and I can't escape the obligations I should fulfill, so I took the opportunity to occasionally come to the city to deliver food, and got such a small restaurant, which is usually handed over to my apprentice Xiao Fuqi to take care of, and every time there is a big solar term such as the upper, middle and lower yuan, I will personally come over to live the wandering souls and wild ghosts in the world with food, so that they can be reincarnated as soon as possible......"

After the old man finished speaking, Bai Wei answered: "Meal is over the soul, legend has it that this is the craft of ghost cooking in ancient times, and now the technique of this family has long been lost......

"Yes, I will only be a little bit of a sporadic chef, which cannot be compared to the ghost kitchen that can cook the 'Hundred Ghost Night Banquet' in ancient times, but it is enough to comfort the souls wandering in this city. Later, the people of Tianzhu Mansion came to find me, because there have been some unevenness in the market recently, which you also know, about half a year ago, the brothers of the Kyushu Zhenfu Division died one after another for no reason, one is that there is an urgent shortage of manpower in the Kyushu Zhenfu Division, and some respected old people are needed to suppress the situation, so I remembered that I am a bad old man, this time, I was in charge of the preliminary competition in the urban area, and I stayed here......"

After speaking, the old man got up and walked to the kitchen, and said as he walked: "Okay, this time I am the examiner, you are candidates, let's not set too much, you come with me......"

Seeing that the old man took the lead into the kitchen, Bai Wei, Zhang Congyun and a few of us hurriedly followed, and when we went inside, it turned out that there was still a hole in the kitchen.

The kitchen is not big, and dirty, but there is a labyrinth hidden under the large board in the center, open the door, and steps appear below, the old man took the lead in entering, and Bai Wei followed us in.

The corridor is not long, it is connected to a narrow secret passage made of red bricks, and after walking along the secret passage, we saw doors appear on both sides of the road, and then the old man led us to one of the doors, pushed the door and looked inside, it was a spacious 'conference room'.

There is a big table of eight immortals in the conference room, and at this moment, there are five or six people sitting around the table drinking tea, there are men and women, old and young, and it is the little apprentice of the old man Wang who is serving tea and water to chat with a few people-Xiao Fuqi.

Because Yu Yu is not the person who participated in the selection this time, and nominally a strange beast after all, it is inconvenient for him to come forward, so before entering, Old Man Wang first invited him to a room on the side to rest, and then only brought Bai Wei, Zhang Congyun and the three of us into the conference room.

After asking the three of us to find a place to sit down, the old man also sat down in the right seat facing north and south with a tea jar, and after looking around at everyone at the table, he swung his blood-red jade on the table, and said with a smile: "Everyone, everyone is from all over the world, some have already known each other, some have never been masked, and the factions and magic weapons they use are also different, but now they have gathered in my small broken noodle restaurant, undoubtedly for the same purpose......"

The old man didn't wait to finish speaking, and a bald man in a robe sitting on his left hand side couldn't bear it anymore, and said in a non-inferior manner: "Old man, don't talk nonsense, tell me quickly, what is our preliminary assessment, I'm already impatient......"

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Fuqi, who was carrying a teapot and storing water on the side, was a little unhappy, but the old man remained silent, waved his hand and said, "This master, don't worry, if you don't listen to me, you will regret it." ”

After saying this, the old man took a sip of tea from the tea jar without hurry, and then looked around at the people around him: "I won't hide it from you, since the beginning of the Chinese New Year, there have been no less than three digits of exorcists who have come to the city to take the exam, but some of the Taoism is too shallow, and I didn't even find my noodle shop, and even if I found it, I either couldn't see the lonely ghosts in the store and couldn't detect the clues, or I was scared by those lonely ghosts and ghosts. The vast majority of them failed to qualify, and some even died as a result. Therefore, I have developed a habit to remind you before the start of each exam that if you are not fully sure of your own exorcism, it is better to leave first, and it will be too late to practice your skills before taking the exam, so as not to lose your life blindly for this, but it is not worth it......"

"If you come, you will be safe," this time it was Lou Jianguang of the Nanhai faction who spoke, and after saying this, he smiled again: "Old man, I think everyone was mentally prepared when they came, life and death are fate, I think you don't sell Guanzi anymore......"

"Hahaha, okay, it's a good thing that you have faith, then you wait, I'll go and get the questions of this preliminary exam......"

After the old man finished speaking, he got up and walked towards the door, Xiao Fuqi also put down the teapot and went out, the door closed again, the room was already silent, all the exorcists sat around a table, you look at me and I look at you, all eyes were full of vigilance, and no one opened a sentence first.

Who would have thought that we had been sitting for a few hours, and it was obviously evening when we first entered the store, and when we looked at our watch again, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening, but the master and apprentice who had gone out to get the question had not yet returned, and finally, someone in the room began to get impatient......

The first person who couldn't bear it was the short-tempered bald man, who slapped the table and stared at him and shouted, "What's the matter with this old guy? As soon as I go out, there is no one, so I can't fucking die outside, right? ”

As he spoke, the bald man turned around and wanted to go to the door, but he heard someone behind him say quietly: "I advise you not to be impulsive, just wait patiently." ”

The bald man looked back and glared at a tall, sweet-looking woman sitting next to me.

The bald man looked like a Zen person, but this time, his eyes were fixed on the woman's bulging chest, and then he sneered: "Little girl, what do I want to do with your?" This game is a race against time, and I don't want to waste time here with you. ”

"I kindly advise you, don't be ignorant." The woman smiled slightly.

The bald man said again: "Don't know how to lift? Don't forget, we are all opponents in the competition, maybe there will be a fight soon, what kind can you be? Phew! ”

The bald man ignored her, turned around and pulled the door and walked out, who knew that he had only taken a step, and without waiting for his feet to stand firm in the corridor, he suddenly screamed 'wow', and then collapsed to the ground......
