Xiaodou is right, no matter how Shanhe explains it now, Ge Zhiguo and the others are afraid that it will be difficult to believe him.

Because the other party has made it very clear just now, among the twenty-three perceptions known so far, none of them is similar to the scene that Shanhe said.

In addition, Shanhe also mentioned that he saw a scorpion and a sand magpie in the illusion.

This makes it even more suspicious that he deliberately used the scene that the two of them said before to make up for the embarrassment that he didn't see anything.

So, without waiting for Shanhe to finish speaking, Ge Zhiguo directly interrupted the other party's description. In his opinion, there is no need to listen to such nonsense lies anymore.

After listening to Xiaodou's persuasion, Shanhe also knew that it was difficult to prove himself, so he simply gave up arguing.

Feeling quite aggrieved, he still felt panicked after thinking about it, and finally couldn't help but ask Xiaodou again:

"Shodo...... Oh no, Xiaoqin, I really didn't lie, I did see scorpions, birds, and stone tablets. You—you won't and won't believe me, will you?"

Hearing Shanhe ask about himself, Qin Xiaodou immediately nodded with sincerity and said:

"Brother Sanke, I—Of course I believe you!" But it didn't take long for her to lower her head and add:

"It's just...... Brother Sanke, if there is a similar situation next time, I suggest that you might as well directly imitate Mo Guanxing's statement and say that you will also become a scorpion......? Hey. Well, I don't believe you when I say that, I'm just, I'm just making a casual suggestion, don't take it seriously!"

Hearing this, Shanhe had to sigh. With a helpless wry smile, he nodded lightly.

......

To the northwest of the Nangong Gate, there is a separate courtyard.

In addition to a few willow trees planted in the courtyard, there are five or six bungalows with blue bricks and gray tiles.

In the center is a large main hall with several wooden tables and chairs.

On the main wall, there is a huge ink landscape painting, which looks a little elegant.

Under the calligraphy and paintings, there sat a man in his fifties, wearing a white and simple gown with a blue thunder-patterned belt tied around his waist. Under his black and dense hair, a pair of clear eyes flashed, and he was holding a book in his hand, and he was concentrating.

This person is the head of Nangong Gate, Nangong Qing's father, Nangong Chi.

"The head of Qiqi, the disciple has something to tell you. Just as Nangong Chi was concentrating on reading, a man's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Come in. ”

When he put down the scroll, he saw a young man enter the main hall. While saluting respectfully, he spoke:

"My subordinate Zhang Hao, on the orders of Elder Li, has specially invited the head of the sect to participate in the initiation ceremony of this secular disciple. ”

"Oh, has it already started?" Nangong Chi looked at the time and said.

"Not yet. The ceremony will take place five minutes later at the Hui Ying Temple. ”

After answering, I saw Zhang Hao take out a black folder from the ring and hand it over to the master:

"This is the information of the selected candidates that Elder Li asked his disciples to hand over to you, I hope you can understand it before attending the meeting. ”

After receiving the information, Nangong Chi smiled slightly:

"Hehe, it's still Elder Li's thoughtfulness. Okay, you tell Elder Li that I'll be there soon, so you can step down. ”

"Yes!"

After Zhang Hao saluted and retreated, Nangong Chi didn't even look at it, so he stuffed the folder into the ring.

Regarding the three secular disciples selected this time, he already had a general understanding from his daughter last night, so there was no need to read the information or anything.

After a brief tidying up of his clothes, he walked towards the Huiying Palace.

Huiying Hall is located in the center of the South Palace Gate.

The area of the hall is not large, only about 100 square meters, and some small and important gatherings are held here on weekdays.

After stepping on the nine steps and entering the palace gate, Nangong Chi quickly moved towards the hall under the gaze of everyone.

As soon as he sat down, before he could warm up the chair, Elder Li, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, came over with his white beard and said in his ear:

"Boss, everyone is here. In addition to the four palace masters, the first elders of the precepts, internal affairs, security, and other courtyards also arrived. When you're ready, you're ready to go. ”

Seeing Nangong Chi nodded, Elder Li, who had always been worried, whispered again:

"Master, you have read all the information I asked Zhang Hao to give you, right? I didn't expect to dig up a treasure from the secular world this time. Hehe, I guess there's a good show to watch later. After smiling meaningfully, Elder Li stepped back and sat behind Nangong Chi with the other elders.

After this person left, Nangong Chicai looked into the hall.

In the main hall, directly in front of him are the four palace masters of spring, summer, autumn and winter, sitting on the left and right sides respectively.

On the left are the palace masters of the spring and summer palaces: Su Xi and Yan Sheng, and on the right are the palace masters of the Autumn Palace, Jin Shuo, and the palace master of the East Palace, Han Yi.

After greeting themselves, the four continued to communicate softly.

While speaking, his eyes also glanced near the temple gate from time to time, and he seemed to be very attentive to the disciples who were about to appear.

Seeing this, Nangong Chi also raised his eyes and soon found four young disciples standing with their hands near the palace gate.

Among the three men and one woman, there was a man he had seen before, who was Ge Zhiguo, the host of the selection meeting.

The other three people standing beside him looked a little dumbfounded.

But he soon guessed that these three people should be newly promoted secular disciples, so he took a closer look.

It wasn't until he remembered all the appearances of the three people that he withdrew his gaze and turned to his back.

At this moment, there were more than a dozen elders sitting behind Nangong Chi.

Although the ages of these old guys combined, they have long exceeded four figures.

But I have to admit that for Nangongmen, each of them can be called the mainstay.

Not only is he in an important position, but he is also the most solid combat force of Nangongmen today! As long as they are there, no one will dare to come to the door to provoke easily.

Therefore, no matter how big or small, as long as it is an important matter, Nangong Chi will invite these elders to participate in the discussion with the four palace masters, and he will never forget them.

Looking around and seeing that everyone had arrived, Nangong Chi used his calm voice to kick off today's ceremony:

"Fellow disciples, today is the annual Secular Disciple Introductory Conference. First of all, on behalf of ......"

Nangong Chi's opening remarks every year are similar: first, to thank everyone for coming to watch the ceremony, second, to thank the organizers of the selection conference, and third, to take the opportunity to emphasize the importance of maintaining good relations with the secular world.

After talking about all these three points, Fang saw Nangong Chi raise his right arm, pointed at the three people near the hall gate and said:

"Okay! Then let's invite the three newly promoted disciples to enter this year!"
