Exorcism

In the huge dining room, there was only the sound of Xiaoqiu eating loudly.

Shen Geng lowered his eyes, looking at the half bowl of rice and a few vegetable leaves in front of him, with a slightly melancholy expression, as if he had to go against his own will to eat it. At this time, he was reduced to a willful ten. Next year, he raised his eyes, became elegant and indifferent again, and called out a person's name.

The boy who was called immediately abandoned his companions at the table and ran over with the food. After confirming that he was really invited, he sat down happily, looked around, and winked proudly at his former friends.

The matter should have ended here. Shen Geng picked up his chopsticks and all the children in the dining room were about to start eating. At this time, another accident happened - Erliang Shen Xiuwei stood up.

"Brother Xiaoqiu is my friend..." He originally wanted to say a few more words, but he was too nervous and felt extremely sorry to leave this table. His mind was so full of chaos that he couldn't remember the rest of the words. He nodded, making an action similar to a bow, and then strode to Xiaoqiu's table with the food in hand.

Xiaoqiu moved the bowl to the side.

Erliang Shen Xiuwei smiled at Xiaoqiu, feeling happy and no longer feeling regretful.

Shen Geng remained calm and even nodded to Erliang to show that he understood his choice, and then called out a name. The replacement ran faster. He was panicked and almost fell down on the way. For this small mistake, Shen Geng Geng moved his eyebrows, showing a hint of dissatisfaction.

Unprepared, Shen Hao suddenly found himself the new focus of attention in the dining room. He was the only boy from Yelin Town who stayed at Shen Geng's table, and faced a major choice.

He hoped that everyone's gaze would not be so direct, and he hoped that Shen Geng opposite him could take a bite of food, which would give him some time to think.

Shen Geng didn't look at Shen Hao, but he didn't drop his chopsticks either. He didn't eat, and neither did anyone else.

Shen Hao had never felt that time passed so slowly, "Don't everyone have anything else to do?" He thought this way, and stood up angrily, bowed to brothers Shen Geng and Shen Ji, and picked himself up After eating, he did not go to Xiaoqiu, but returned to the other Yelin Town teenagers.

Another lucky substitute took over, and there were still eight people occupying a table. Shen Geng inserted his chopsticks into his rice bowl, and the sound of chewing finally sounded in the hall. Xiaoqiu felt less lonely eating.

The atmosphere quickly returned to normal. The children chatted while eating, talking about the upcoming competition, and guessing what method Meng Yuanhou would use to detect how much effort each person exerted.

The curious village women were a little disappointed. It was obviously a flammable show, but why did it end so calmly? They looked at each other, and the meaning in their eyes was obvious: the world of Pangshan disciples is so difficult to fathom.

But for the nearly one hundred and forty new disciples, this is actually just a child's game. If they separate into a circle, the game is over, at least for ordinary disciples who are not involved in both sides.

Erliang Shen Xiuwei had never eaten so fast. After the initial momentum, he became listless and ignored Fangfang and Xiao Qingtao. As soon as he finished eating, he took Xiaoqiu back to the room.

"Is Fangfang too stubborn? Why do you have to protect a little non-demon?"

"Do you regret it?"

"I have no regrets. Even if Grandmaster Pangshan waved to me, I would still stand by Brother Xiaoqiu." Erliang Shen Xiuwei felt that she had been misunderstood and raised her voice a little higher, "I am here for Xiaoqiu." It’s not worth it. What a great opportunity.

Make friends with Shen Geng, and you will have someone to look after you when you practice Taoism in the future. People like us will only hold you back. "

Xiaoqiu grinned and punched him on the shoulder, "Daogen is really effective. Look how good you are at talking."

Erliang Shen Xiuwei also laughed along, "I have followed you and my brother since I was a child, and I will continue to do so in the future. Alas, it's okay not to make friends with Shen Geng, and just practice slowly by yourself. To be honest, I couldn't even eat while sitting at that table. It doesn’t taste good, so I always think about not biting my tongue later, for fear of being laughed at, and I am no longer interested in the meat in the dish.”

Daliang and others also came over after eating, all looking depressed.

"Will we be like the three people from the Pei family in the future, no one pays attention to us, and we always stand at the back of the crowd?" Daliang asked this question as soon as he sat down.

Just when Xiao Qiu was about to speak, Shen Hao rushed to answer. He had already passed the stage of depression and was a little more passionate, "It is impossible for a Taoist disciple to make everyone obey. When we were eating just now, many people nodded to me. Say hello. Is it impossible to learn magic without them? I don’t think so. They practice theirs and we practice ours. I heard that many powerful mages were ordinary people in the past."

Shen Hao inspired some morale, but several children still felt regretful. If Xiaoqiu and others could enter the circle of Taoist disciples, they would also be able to get some glory, but now they can only rely on their own efforts.

"It's time to compete in stick skills. Everyone works hard and no one wants to lose." Erliang Shen Xiuwei raised his fist, "I see that Shen Geng and Shen Ji's stick skills are not particularly good."

"They are hiding their strength and don't bother to show it." Mu Feihuang looked around and continued in a low voice: "I heard that the five of them have been running up and down the Ancestor Peak since they were young. There are more than 10,000 steps. They don’t take it seriously at all, especially Shen Geng. Everyone said that he was able to open his seven orifices on the first day he entered Yangshen Peak.”

"Impossible." Xiaoqiu said with certainty. He had just read the booklet that Marquis Meng Yuan left for him, and he knew a lot about opening the orifices. It was absolutely impossible to open the seven orifices at the same time. The cultivator would only die violently instead of getting stronger. .

There was a cough from the door, "Fellow Taoists, have a good afternoon."

It turned out to be Xin Youtao. Not to mention Xiaoqiu's room, he had never been to anyone's room in the building. So far, he still lives alone in a room and refuses to live with others.

"What are you doing here?" Shen Hao had a fierce look on his face.

Xin Youtao avoided Shen Hao's eyes and said directly to Xiaoqiu: "Fellow seeker, can I have a few words with you alone?"

"We have several 'advocate friends' here, which one are you referring to?" Shen Hao moved his steps and stopped the prince's gaze.

"Mu Xingqiu, I want to tell you something. There's no need to be so nervous. I can't beat him. What do you have to be afraid of?"

"I'll find you later." Xiaoqiu said.

Shen Hao and others filed out of the room. Everyone cast a stern look at the prince when they passed by him. Xin Youtao, in addition to avoiding Shen Hao, smiled back at everyone else.

Xin Youtao closed the door and said, "You are so stupid."

"This is what smart people think of me?" Xiaoqiu said coldly, suddenly full of expectations for the routine stick fight tomorrow morning.

"You misunderstood, I'm not here to curse, I'm just here to tell you a fact."

"Well, smart people must have different visions than me."

Xin Youtao ignored the sarcasm and took a step forward, his eyes shining as if Xiaoqiu was some kind of rare beast, "Do you think all this is a child's game?"

"What game is not a game..."

Xin Youtao seemed to have held back what he was saying, and did not allow others to interrupt. He rushed to say: "Yes, you think this is a game. Regardless of victory or defeat, it is over when it is over. At most, I will give you a bad look."

"What are you talking about? It's just a matter of who you eat with."

"Haha, this is the fact I want to tell you." Xin Youtao suddenly stopped smiling, "A game is not just a game, it is a battle! Every game is a battle that determines the future. People who understand this truth are ahead, and those who do not understand Those who follow this principle are left behind.”

"The oldest among us is no more than fourteen years old, so there is no need to pretend to be adults."

Xin Youtao's expression was not only serious, but also a little fierce. "Children's games are particularly cruel. Do you think I haven't noticed? When you guys in Yelin Town walk together, you and Shen Hao always walk in the middle, and your arms can Swing it around freely -" Xin Youtao made corresponding movements, like a manic monkey, "The Shen brothers are following you. Don't dare to swing your arms around. Mu Feihuang and the others are fighting in front of and behind Shen Hao. The closest position is like a fight every time.”

Xin Youtao's face was full of disgust, as if he had participated in a competition for position but failed, "Mu Xingqiu, this is a child's game. The result of the game is to determine the position that everyone should have. If the position is not determined, the game will not end. It will end. You are stupid for not accepting your position in Pangshan Tradition.”

"You accepted it, Prince Nishijie successfully obtained a position as a follower."

Xin Youtao laughed, his laughter was still a little childish, but his false tone was just like that of an adult, "The current situation, Mu Xingqiu, this is called the current situation. In Pangshan Taoism, of course Shen Geng is the leader; if we are in Xijie City To learn talisman, even the grandmaster's son will bow to me; if the world is reversed one day, we will all have to go to Yelin Town to become farmers, then you and Shen Hao will be qualified to be superior. "

Xiaoqiu hated Xin Youtao very much, but when he calmed down, he felt that what the other party said made sense, "Then please tell Shen Geng that neither I nor anyone else in Yelin Town has any intention to challenge his position. He can be his leader. We can just stand on the sidelines and watch.”

"Haha." Leading to a series of disrespect. This is the same whether it is Yelin Town, Xijie City, or this building. Do you think you can make trouble in Yelin Town and still do it here? , was taken away by the demon species, this is the only reason why you escaped punishment, you are lucky, but luck will not follow you forever. "

"Princes have their own principles, and I have mine." Xiaoqiu had already understood what Xin Youtao meant, and decided to invite the guests out. "You are a good lobbyist. If there is a chance, I hope Shen Geng will also I heard these words, but my thoughts have not changed.”

"Do you think I am a lobbyist sent by Shen Geng?" Xin Youtao asked in surprise.

"Isn't it?"

"First of all, I came here on my own initiative, so that I can make Shen Geng happier. Secondly, I'm not trying to persuade you to bow your head. On the contrary, I'm here to encourage you to keep raising your proud head."

Xin Youtao patted his chin, raised his head, and expressed his sarcasm clearly, "The confrontation between the two factions is interesting. I'm not the leader, so why should I calm down the matter? Fight, Mu Xingqiu, continue your game, and try to get rid of it. Raise your arms and carve out a piece of territory for yourself. You have no chance at all. This is Pangshan Taoism, where cultivation is everything, and those who make rapid progress are princes. Although I am not optimistic about you at all, you still have a glimmer of hope. . If you don’t want to bow to someone with a higher status, then work hard. I will watch your game from the position of follower.”

This is Xin Youtao's purpose, to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, waiting for opportunities to strive for a higher position.

"Farewell." He nodded solemnly, turned around and walked out of the house. He opened the door and turned to face Xiaoqiu. He put on a disappointed tone and spoke loudly enough for people in the neighboring house to hear - he hoped that the last words would be heard. It reached Shen Geng's ears.

"I've said everything that needs to be said, Mu Xingqiu, this is your own choice."

"The game is fighting?" Xiaoqiu whispered to himself alone in the room. He shook his arms unconsciously and gave his own answer, "Then let's fight."
