quiet. ,: .
Dead silence.
Silence fell.
Shangguan's house in Lengcheng is as quiet as if it were buried in a thousand-meter deep pool and had endured tens of thousands of years of ice. Among the nearly ten thousand people, even each other's breathing could be clearly heard, as if if a silver needle fell to the ground, it would immediately be 'excited' There are thousands of waves and flowers.
Pairs of stunned gazes all converged in one direction.
In that direction is the young man in black robe standing on the ring: Qin Shi.
He stood under the blazing sun, holding a blood-colored talisman in his hand. The six lines on the talisman were so dazzling.
"He, he succeeded?"
"Oh my god, the six-marked magic talisman? Is it true that someone can refine the six-marked magic talisman? Is it impossible?"
The first comment arose from nowhere, and soon the crowd of tens of thousands of people fell into a long and continuous noise.
Everyone looked at Qin Shi with astonishing eyes as if they were looking at an old monster that had survived for tens of thousands of years. Jade Rakshasa and Xiaomi Cai felt relieved at the same time, showing a sweet smile of relief.
"Sister, daddy succeeded."
Xiaomi Cai stood on tiptoe excitedly, and Yu Rakshasa put his arms around her shoulders and smiled: "Well, I knew he could do it."
The head of the Zhao family's fierce gaze solidified, and Zhang Tao, Guo Lin, and many other talisman magicians showed their respect and admiration.
Of course, the most excited person present was Shangguan Leng.
No one can understand that kind of heart that is lost and found again.
"Haha, haha, hahaha, old guy, I won, I won! This time, Yan Dong can't protect you!" Shangguan Leng let out a harsh laugh.
Shangguan Ba's turbid old eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Qin Shi with strange eyes, he clenched his fist and said: "Does the sky insist on destroying my Shangguan family?"
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
With a pop, Yan Dong trembled and collapsed to the ground, a look of despair on his face.
Immediately, he got up and rushed to the official tyrant and howled: "Master, I can't count, how can he refine the six-marked magic talisman? He must be cheating, hurry up, declare him to be in violation of the rules!"
After hearing this, there was no pursuit this time. There was only contempt and disdain in the eyes of the crowd looking at Yan Dong.
Shangguan Ba lowered his head sadly. In this short moment, he seemed to have aged dozens of years. He could understand Yan Dong's mood at this time, but he could not change this fact.
"Haha, if you lose, you lose. After dragging it on for so many years, it's time to give up." Gently patting Yan Dong's shoulder, Shangguan Ba shook his head with a wry smile, and stepped onto the ring with ease.
Walking on the ring, every step is as heavy as a stone.
"Congratulations, little friend." Shangguan Ba hummed in front of Qin Shi.
Qin Shi smiled freely: "Thank you, Master, it's just a fluke."
Hearing the sound, Shangguan Ba couldn't help but be stunned as he stared at Qin Shi, whose heart was as calm as water. On Qin Shi's face, he noticed a sense of indifference, ease and indifference that was not expected at this age.
This boy is not simple.
There is thunder in the heart and the calmness of the lake is the aura of a true king.
"Master, is it time to announce the results?" Qin Shi looked at the stunned Shangguan Ba and coughed twice.
Feeling moved in his heart, Shangguan Ba was awakened and realized that he had lost his composure. He nodded sternly and held up Qin Shi's sleeves. He looked around and said, "Well, I now declare that this time, the winner of the Talisman Magic Competition will be the winner." It’s little friend Shi Qin!”
Although this result was already certain, when it came out from Shangguan Ba's mouth, it still caused quite a stir.
The words Shi Qin kept shouting among the crowd, and from this moment on they spread throughout Lengcheng.
"Little friend, regarding the rewards of this competition..." Mentioning this matter, Shangguan Ba moved his blazing eyes towards Qin Shi's palm. Logically speaking, the first place reward is the corpse of the red demon lizard, so the six-marked demon The talisman should belong to Qin Shi.
But a six-marked magic talisman is a treasure that is accessible but out of reach for any force.
"See if you can..."
For this reason, he shamelessly wanted to speak.
But before he could speak, Qin Shi interrupted with a smile: "Haha, is there a reward? I'll just take my part."
After saying this, Qin Shi deliberately shook the six-marked magic talisman in his hand, hoping that he would spit out what he got? joke.
Hearing the sound, Shangguan Ba smiled bitterly.
He knew that if Qin Shi said this, he would definitely not 'hand over' the magic talisman to the Shangguan family. For this reason, he did not feel embarrassed and said: "That's fine, but I hope that if you have time, after the competition, You can stay at my Shangguan's house for a while, and my Shangguan's family will warmly entertain you."
Qin Shi's dark eyes turned, and he immediately guessed Shangguan Ba's little thought, which was that he just wanted him to stay and help refine the magic talisman.
But now, he had no time to delay in Lengcheng. He had planned to leave directly after the competition to find the murderer who massacred the village with a thousand cuts.
Seeing Qin Shi's hesitation, Shangguan Ba refused to give up and asked: "Don't worry, little friend, if you stay, you will be a guest of my Shangguan family. If anyone dares to have evil intentions towards you, I will not let them eat in this cold city." Walk around!"
After saying this, he turned his eyes towards the Zhao family head intentionally or unintentionally. The meaning of these words could not be more obvious, that is, for the Zhao family head to hear.
The head of the Zhao family was stunned in the audience and lowered his eyes.
In fact, even if Shangguan Ba didn't speak, he felt regretful and wanted to go back immediately to catch Zhao Yong and give him a severe punishment.
A six-marked talisman magician, I am afraid that even the royal family of the Red Flame Empire would not be able to help but win over. If it were not for Zhao Yong's previous conflict, maybe the Zhao family could still win over Qin Shi, but now he has become a pawn for others to win over.
"I'll think about it."
Narrowing his eyes, Qin Shi did not refuse in a hurry.
After receiving such a response, Shangguan Ba was already very satisfied. Qin Shi walked down from the ring and started the follow-up process of the Shangguan family ceremony.
But no one cared about this process anymore. The moment Qin Shimai stepped down, a large crowd of people surged in and engulfed him. The heads and elders of each family continued to show their hospitality.
Regarding this phenomenon, Shangguan Ba could only laugh helplessly.
"Little friend, little friend, I am the head of the Li family. I would like to host a banquet for you tonight..."
"Li Yan, shut up, little friend, I am the eldest elder of the Zhong family..."
"My little friend, are you married? I am the head of the Wu family, and the youngest daughter in the family is eighteen years old. She is a beautiful woman. If I don't mind it, I will betroth her to you."
There were all kinds of disputes, and the large group of people almost started fighting in front of Qin Shi.
Several younger girls cast charming peach blossom eyes at Qin Shi. Among them, Qin Shi, a few of them quite impressive, was stunned for a moment.
If it weren't for the jade hand that suddenly climbed up around his waist to pull him back to reality, he would have really sunk in.
Jade Rakshasa stood in front of Qin Shi, with a sweet smile that was a little weird: "Hey, everyone, Mr. Shi's daughter is already so old, so don't go to all the trouble."
"Yes, daddy, you can't live without me." Xiaomi Cai teased from behind.
At this time, everyone was in a mess, but just for a moment, a loud scream made Qin Shi feel his forehead darken: "I am willing to be a concubine for Mr. Shi Qin! I am a slave and a maid! "
“…”
People nowadays are so crazy.
Qin Shi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. In the end, Shangguan Leng stepped forward to rescue him. Otherwise, he really doubted that he would be trampled to death by the crowd.
Accompanied by Shangguan Leng, Qin Shi finally escaped from the crazy crowd. Along the way, Shangguan Leng's lips could not be concealed with joy: "Brother Shi Qin, thank you very much this time."
"Haha, Brother Leng, you don't have to be like this. I have already said that I would take people's money and eliminate disasters for them. I, Qin Shi, will do what I say, and I won't say anything twice." Qin Shi and the others were taken to the pavilion behind the ring by Shangguan Leng. He leaned against a wooden pile and smiled.
Shangguan nodded with a cold smile: "But I didn't expect that my brother would be hidden so deeply? Six-marked magician, this is really a terrifying identity."
"I don't know, brother, what are your plans for the future? If not, you might as well stay at Shangguan's house. I promise that as long as I become the head of the family, if you say one thing in Shangguan's house, no one will dare to say otherwise!"
Hearing this, Qin Shi was not surprised, but he just smiled and shook his head and said: "Brother Leng is dissatisfied. This is not my ambition. As soon as I help you take the position, my wife and I will leave Lengcheng. "
"Leave Lengcheng?"
Shangguan Leng clicked his tongue in surprise.
But before he could speak again, Qin Shi, Jade Rakshasa, and Xiaomi Cai disappeared into the pavilion, not wanting to be disturbed by outside factors.
Looking at the retreating figure, the joy in Shangguan's cold eyes subsided and he clenched his fists: "Haha, Shi Qin, you forced me to do this."
"A powerful treasure is just a pile of scrap metal if it is not used by me, Shangguan Leng!"
The ceremony continued, Shangguan Ba talked endlessly, and finally at sunset, all the tedious procedures ended, and the selection of the trustworthy head of the family was carried out.
The Shangguan family's method of electing the head of the family is very interesting, it is democratic voting.
Including Guan Ba, Shangguan Leng, Shangguan Yinyue, and other juniors are together.
The voting began, and Shangguan Leng stood on the stage with his hands behind his back, as if he had already secured his victory.
"Huh?"
In the pavilion, Qin Shi kept his eyes closed and remained silent. The scene on the field was always in his mind. But just when the voting was getting heated, he suddenly frowned and opened his black eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Beside him, 'Jade' Rakshasa couldn't help but express concern when he sensed Qin Shi's strangeness.
Hearing the sound, Qin Shi's stern face revealed a slight smile, and he shook his head at Jade Rakshasa without saying much.
Soon, the results of the democratic voting came out. The cold relationship between Shangguan and Shangguan had been smoothed out a long time ago. Shangguan Ba was far ahead with 360 votes, while Shangguan Ba was lagging behind with 290 votes. The remaining people could almost be ignored.
The final result depends on the four Talisman Magicians.
Qin Shi has two hundred votes, Yan Dong has one hundred votes, and Zhang Tao and Guo Lin each have fifty votes.
Yan Dong's 100 votes undoubtedly went to Shangguan Ba, and Shangguan Ba immediately surpassed Shangguan Leng with 390 votes.
But this lead only lasted for a moment. Zhang Tao and Guo Lin voted for Shangguan Leng with the two fifty votes, and Shangguan Leng took the lead again.
So, the current result depends entirely on Qin Shi's two hundred votes. He can only reverse this result by voting for Shangguan Ba.
But is that possible
The result is self-evident, everyone has already guessed it, Shangguan Leng Junyi's face could not hide the wild laughter, and his eyes were glowing red.
Shangguan Ba seemed to have taken it for granted and closed his eyes freely.
But at this moment, a sound echoed that made the whole place roar, and the closed muddy old eyes suddenly opened wide with a look of disbelief.
"My two hundred votes go to the head of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Ba!"
