"No... Qingshan Town, what do you mean by that!?"
"Do you mean that the Privy Council is lying to us?"
"Since you said it is not called Qingshan Town, what is it called?"
This sentence caused an uproar for everyone, even Xia Fan was quite surprised.
But he quickly thought of one thing, that is, all his knowledge of Qingshan
Town comes from the Privy Council. He didn't come here by himself, but Jiang
Lincheng, who arrived first according to the guide, merged with some of the
candidates and then was transported here by the official carriage.
In other words, he did not have the opportunity to confirm whether there
really is a place called "Qingshan Town".
Of course, this has nothing to do with the omission. At this time, the
map—that is, the map—is a first-class confidential document that ordinary
people can't touch. However, due to the speed of information dissemination, it
is normal for residents of a town to not know that there are several villages
in the surrounding area. If there is no special person to guide, it may be
difficult for most candidates to find this examination room located in the
mountains on time.
"Of course I know, that's why I suggest to you to come back in three years!"
Facing the crowd, Luo gently did not lose his momentum, "In fact, the real
name of this place is "Qingshan Zhen"! "
"Qingshan Formation? No way..." Wei Wu's color changed drastically.
"Uh, is there any difference between the two?" Xia Fan looked dazed, and felt
the embarrassment brought about by insight.
Why doesn't the cheap master teach more common sense related to alchemy!
Quan taught him how to kick the crotch medicine to take advantage.
"Have you never heard of this?" Wei Wushuang said in surprise, "According to
legend, it is the source of the eternal destruction."
finally came an intelligible word, "Yongguo... is that the previous dynasty?"
"Yes, Yongwang is extremely extravagant. There are countless gold and jewels
in the palace. The local government chose to do what they like, and
requisitioned people for mining. Until the 31st year of Yongxing, this action
aroused the wrath of the sky and caused a great waste. The night caused the
Yongguo to decline quickly and completely disintegrated in less than ten
years.” Wei Wushuang explained patiently, “and the rumored origin of the evil
night is the Qingshan mining area.”
"Dahuang Shaye...what is it?"
"This...I don't know the details." The other party scratched his head. "After
all, these are all I heard when I followed my father in business. I only know
that it is a fierce image caused by many resentful souls. In the area it
traverses, the living die, the dead live, let alone ordinary people, even the
alchemist fell into it for nine deaths. It is said that the eternal country
cost a great price to eliminate this evil phenomenon, and the Privy Council
only then became independent. Six of the official government."
Xia Fan took a cold breath. If Luo Qing was right, wouldn’t it mean that their
group of candidates are in the center of the extremely fierce land?
The noisy crowd also fell silent.
Obviously, such shocking information takes time to digest.
"Do you have any evidence?" "Brother Yan" asked loudly again, "Say this is not
Qingshan Town, but Qingshan Mining Area. You must have real evidence!"
"That is, who knows if your family is coaxing us to get everyone out of the
game voluntarily!"
Luo lightly showed an expression that she had known for such a long time ago,
she made a gesture, and the two Luo family children under the stage put a
piece of gray and autumn on the table.
"This is the evidence. You can come forward and check it."
Someone in the front row wondered, "This is for refining...Tao Fan?"
"Yes. I found it on the back mountain." Luo nodded lightly, and then briefly
recounted his experience of climbing up the mountain, discovering wooden
tracks and piles of bones. "After seeing the sights in the valley, I went to
the top of the mountain. After searching the direction for nearly a mile, I
found this damaged Tao Fan. The reason why it was made into a long strip is
obviously only to contain molten metal."
"And let me be sure that this is the key to Qingshan. It is the lettering on
Tao Fan." She said in a clear and sweet voice, "Twenty-eight years of
Yongxing, the production of Taihu Gold Manufacturing Bureau!"
"Yongxing Nian... is indeed the year used by Yongguo."
"Taihu Gold Manufacturing Bureau? I seem to have heard of it somewhere."
Everyone talked a lot.
"Can you explain in detail for me?"
"The Financial Bureau was established in the 9th year of Yongchang, the same
year as the Qingshan Gold Mine was discovered. These deeds are recorded in the
"Taihu Chronicle" and "Yongchang Lu", I think everyone present should have
read these two. People who write this book." Luo Qing said in an orderly
manner, "After the Taihu Metallurgical Bureau was established, its main source
of supply was the Qingshan mining area. If this is not Qingshan, why is there
such a pottery fan of the Metallurgical Bureau?"
Xia Fan pondered for a while before he figured out that the so-called "Tao
Fan" was a mold made of clay.
The other party went on to say, "In addition, there is more than one evidence
in the book. According to the "Taihu Chronicle", in order to increase
production, the Bureau of Finance and Industry has forcibly recruited a large
number of residents to the mining area, so that many villages and towns have
ten rooms and nine empty rooms until Yongguo. After the collapse, they were
not able to fully recover. Many people were sent to Qingshan, but none of them
were able to return. Now we know where these people are. This can also explain
why they need to build a special wooden track to transport the remains.
——Because there are too many."
"Good, good... awesome." Wei Wushuang murmured.
The sigh of the same hometown was undoubtedly the thoughts of most examinees
at this moment. The scene suddenly became very quiet, and even the previous
doubts disappeared without a trace.
Obviously, since Luo Qing dared to say it, naturally he was not afraid of
everyone to check. Even if the mold can be used for fake, the track on the
mountain and the corpse in the valley cannot be faked. Several key points are
linked together, and they basically constitute an ironclad evidence.
Although Xia Fan has never heard of these two books, judging from the title of
the books, it is obviously not a must-read classic. One is probably a local
history, and the other is barely half a history. In simple and easy to
understand terms, they are all extracurricular books. It just happened to have
seen it, and I can remember it so clearly, there is no other explanation
except for his talent.
"Have you never heard of the Luo Family in Youzhou, the knowledge of all
things and heaven?"
He suddenly remembered what Luo Youer had said.
"Half of the library in the country is opened by the Luo family, and the
Yuzhou government has a collection of more than ten thousand treasures. In
terms of world knowledge, no one can compare to the Luo family."
It seems that Luo Qing himself may be half a library.
"Please wait a minute," Feinian suddenly stood up and said, "I remember
Dahuang Shaye is difficult to be completely wiped out. Every once in a while,
it will come back again until all the resentful souls have dissipated. That's
why Daqi will set a downfall. Mountain formation, limit its damage to a
controllable range. If your inference is correct, doesn't it mean..."
Luo nodded slightly, "This cycle is not a secret. It is recorded in detail in
"Private Archives", and it appears once in almost five and a half years. I
don't know, the next overcast period will be exactly two days later."
—And today is the fifth day of the Shikao.
In other words, on the last day of this exam, there will be a Great Wilderness
Night.
After a short silence, the crowd suddenly boiled--
"No way, how can there be such a coincidence?"
"Where is the invigilator? I want to ask the invigilator for verification!"
"Do you think the Privy Council will ignore this? I'm afraid this is the key
to the assessment."
"What a joke! Either pass the exam or die? I don't want to bet my life in this
horrible place."
"Are all the locals evacuating to avoid this disaster?"
"Not necessarily, does anyone want to go to the back mountain to confirm?"
"Say, that's right... It's just the words of the Luo family at the moment, we
can't let the other party lead the nose!"
The candidates were obviously panicked, and the center of the square suddenly
became a mess.
At this moment, a slightly sharp voice overwhelmed the turbulent dispute, "No
need to go, I can prove that what she said is true. In fact, you can prove it
yourself."
This sentence immediately attracted the attention of the examinees, and
everyone followed the prestige and focused their attention on a pale young man
wearing a gray shirt and holding a paper fan.
The gossip picture behind him has explained his identity-he is the Fang family
disciple.
"Isn't that... Fang Xiandao?" Wei Wushuang said in a low voice.
"Do you know?" Xia Fan asked.
"Well, I didn't plan to pass the exam anyway. I have basically stayed in the
teahouse these days to inquire about the news, and I have met a lot of
people." Wei Wushuang nodded, "Although the Fang family is not as powerful as
the Fei and Luo families, He also has his own uniqueness, and he is very
proficient in diagnosing and judging hexagrams. And this Fang Xiandao, I heard
that he is the best disciple of the new generation of Fang family."
"Tell me, what can we prove?" someone asked eagerly.
"The hexagrams have already explained everything. UU reading www.uukanshu.com,
Miss Luo's family, is basically the same as the result of my divination-that
is, there will be a catastrophe on the last day of the exam, only those who
seize the opportunity It can turn a good luck in every bad event." Fang
Xiandao opened the paper fan in his hand and said calmly, "I know that this
method of arithmetic is extremely advanced and not everyone can master it, but
the flow of qi itself is a sign. As people who are moved, many of you should
have received warnings."
"What kind of... warning?"
"If I remember correctly, many people have had a nightmare in the first two
days of the exam!" Fang Xiandao snapped the paper fan together, "Dream is a
manifestation of consciousness to the air of heaven and earth, although it is
not comparable to it. Divination is accurate, sometimes very specific. Is
there a more obvious warning than this nightmare? The red moon dripping with
blood, the dead crawling out of the ground, the evil contaminates the living
creatures, if not referring to the Great Wild Night, can it still What is it?"
"Puff." Xia Fan couldn't hold back for a moment, and spouted saliva.
"Why is Xia brother laughing?" Wei Wushuang looked at him in surprise.
"Cough... it's nothing." Xia Fan coughed twice and changed back to the
appearance of nothingness. Had it not been for the fox demon who was lying in
his room at this moment, he might have believed this nonsense.
However, other candidates do not think so.
"What you said... I did it!"
"me too!"
"So that's the case, has the dream reminded us long ago..."
"I thought I was the only one who had nightmares."
"There are so many people... It seems that the dream is not accidental!"
In everyone's eyes, the aristocratic family will deceive Sanmen, but Sanmen
can never unite to deceive themselves. All doubts disappeared, and within a
quarter of an hour, the Qingshan Formation and the Great Desolate Night had
become the consensus of all the candidates.
