"What are you hiding? Take it out!"
"How can I hide anything? Don't talk nonsense!"
"I haven't hidden anything, I've seen it all!"
"What did you see? I started to say that I hid something. Ding Si, don't talk nonsense!"
"Nothing hidden? Then take out the mustard sac!"
"Why do you want me to take the mustard sac? I still suspect that you have taken something, should you also take it out and search it!"
The quarrel attracted attention, and everyone gathered around.
"What's the matter?" Ling Wuxia asked, "Speak up if you have something to say!"
The man named Ding Si saw Ling Wuxia approaching, and quickly complained: "Senior Sister Ling, I saw Shao Ziping hiding something, he must want to eat alone!"
That Shao Ziping shouted: "Ding Si nonsense, it was originally my own thing, he glanced at it and said I hid it! Sister Ling, you have to decide for me!"
Ding Si persisted: "I saw it with my own eyes. If you say no, that's fine, take out the mustard seed bag, let's search, seeing is believing!"
"Why do you want to search for..."
Then they quarreled again.
"All right, all right, Miss Ling is here, what are you arguing about? Let's hear what Miss Ling has to say!"
Ling Wuxia pondered for a while, and said to Shao Ziping: "Junior Brother Shao, it's a critical moment, if you don't prove your innocence, you won't be able to convince everyone..."
Shao Ziping shouted: "Senior Sister Ling, why do you even say that? How can there be any reason to randomly search people's mustard bags?"
Ling Wuxia apologized: "The current situation is special, if you don't prove yourself, I'm afraid it won't end..."
Lu Mingshu looked on coldly, and the woman in black leaned over, gloating and said: "Ling Wuxia is really shooting himself in the foot. If he wants to have the right and wrong, now he has to offend someone, right?"
Seeing her disapproval, she couldn't help but ask, "Why, are you unhappy?"
Lu Mingshu glanced at her: "One person or ten people, which one is more important?"
The woman in black paused: "But, if she offends someone, her reputation cannot be flawless..."
Lu Mingshu smiled: "When has she ever been flawless? Do you know where Ling Wuxia's smartest point is?"
"where?"
"She will always know what is the most important thing to herself." She raised her chin as she spoke, "That man, he really hides something, believe it or not."
Seeing the man's unnatural expression, the woman in black nodded hesitantly.
"If the things are found, Ling Wuxia's prestige will only increase." Lu Mingshu said, "Let's wait and see, there will be a good show."
There is one person here, and thirteen people over there. How could Shao Ziping win? Soon, the mustard sacs were taken out and inspected one by one.
"This!" Ding Si picked up something and held it up high. "This is what I saw. He took it from the statue!"
The thing Ding Si is holding is a wooden sign.
Ling Wuxia stretched out his hand, and Ding Si consciously passed the thing over: "I just held it in the hand of the god statue."
In the corner of the small building, there is a small shrine, which enshrines a statue of an unknown origin. The statue's hands are spread out, and the top is empty.
Ling Wuxia turned over the wooden sign and saw two words written on it.
"Go, half."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
What do these two words mean
After being quiet for a while, someone couldn't help asking: "Is this the person senior asked us to get rid of half?"
No one responded, but everyone's expressions have already shown their own thoughts.
Go halfway, that should be the meaning, right? It was supposed to be eliminated slowly, but now there are sixteen people, too many.
It's just that no one sees themselves as the half that was removed.
"You go out first!" Someone finally said. It was the same Ding Si who grabbed Shao Ziping and said, "Stealing clues, a person like you has no right to stay."
He chose a good entry point, and many people immediately agreed.
Shao Ziping poked his neck: "Who said that if you find a clue, you have to show it? In the end, there is only one place, so do you have to be modest? Whoever finds it belongs to whoever finds it!"
"You still have the nerve to say it!" Ding Si sneered, "We agreed to join forces, but you played tricks! One thing in person, one thing behind another, what qualifications do you have to be recognized by the master?"
"It's just a different way of doing things, why do you..."
Shao Ziping, alone, could not compete with so many of them, but he was dragged to the door in the end.
"Senior Sister Ling!" Shao Ziping still trusted Ling Wuxia at this time, and rushed to grab her clothes, but was grabbed by others, but refused to give up, "Senior Ling, there are fierce beasts outside! I'm going out alone ,just in case… "
When he said that, the others also hesitated.
The test of Yuyang Mountain has been carried out so many times, but no one has ever heard of it being killed.
Ling Wuxia stood by the window for a while, and said, "Look, those beasts seem to be receding."
When everyone saw it, it seemed to be true.
"So we can leave?"
"That halfway, isn't that what we guessed?"
"Isn't it? The beast is gone, which means that we understand correctly. Let half of them leave!"
"That's right, that's right!" Ding Si shouted, "Shao Ziping, are you still going out?"
That being said, how dare Shao Ziping? If it is wrong, it will be his life!
Ling Wuxia finally spoke: "Junior Brother Shao, just give it a try. If it's not right, I will definitely save you."
"This..." Shao Ziping hesitated. By now, he also knew that he had committed public outrage, and it was impossible for him to stay.
"Can you still believe my senior sister's words?" Junior sister Zuo shouted, "Senior brother He and I are here, the reputation of the three of us is worth it, right?"
Shao Ziping had nothing to say, and finally stepped out of the small building under the eyes of everyone.
He turned his head three times at a step, and finally disappeared into the green forest.
After a while, they didn't hear his cries for help. After everyone was relieved, they became nervous again.
Go halfway, that is to say, out of sixteen people, eight people have to be removed. Only one left now, that is to say, there are still seven. Who should leave next
Everyone looked back and forth between each other, full of vigilance and malice.
Just a piece of wooden sign turned the temporary combination of sixteen people into a dark forest fighting each other again.
Ling Wuxia's three brothers and sisters, the Zhang brothers and sisters, the Ye brothers, and the Huo brothers, that's nine of them. There are four other people who are disciples of the Taoist sect who have established themselves in Beiming for a long time, plus Lu Mingshu and the woman in black...
The wandering eyes finally stopped at one person.
Huo Feng, the eldest son of the Huo family, shouted to the woman in black: "You, get out!"
Although the others didn't make a sound, their eyes expressed the same meaning.
The woman in black rolled her eyes and ignored her.
"Did you hear that?" Huo Feng shouted again, "If you don't go out, do you want to toast instead of eating and drinking?"
The woman in black glanced over: "Who is your Excellency?" The implication is, why should I listen to you
Huo Feng said coldly: "Langxuan Pavilion, what qualifications do you have to stay here?"
