Looking in the direction of Yang Lu's finger, Xi Ziang realized that his attitude was very inappropriate. Yang Lu once sternly warned everyone that what happened on the battlefield outside the territory must not be spread, otherwise everyone would die without a burial place. However, Xi Ziang's identity two days ago was still a loyal subordinate of the great leader Consultant Yang, and now he suddenly saw When Yang Lu appeared, a conditioned reflex occurred instinctively.
Although Xi Ziang had realized that he had just said the wrong thing, the strong pressure that Yang Lu had exerted on the battlefield outside the territory in the past made him even more frightened. He quickly explained: "Advisor Yang, I understand that I was wrong. I—— "
"Ahem!" In order to stop Xi Ziang from continuing to talk nonsense, Yang Lu quickly interrupted him with a cough.
"Young Daoist Xi and I have known each other for many years, so there is no need to introduce each other. Fellow Daoist Xi, the two people next to me are Young Master Ren Yi from the Ren family in Luanshi City, and Young Master Su Cheng from the Su family in Haiya City. They also want to get to know each other." Here you go!" After Xi Ziang received the top order, he quickly raised his hands and saluted: "It turns out it's Master Ren and Master Su. What a pleasure to meet you!" Seeing the other party suddenly salute to them, Ren Yi and Su Cheng were confused. Shuidi returned the favor, but Yang Lu was still dissatisfied. He raised his eyebrows and said, "And where is Manager Han next to me?"
"Yes, and Director Han! We haven't seen each other for a long time. I think you personally brought me to join the Haiya Sect back then!" Although Xi Ziang said polite words, Han Fulai had a strange feeling. The other party didn't seem to be really being polite to him, but was implementing the order Yang Lu had just given.
Seeing Xi Ziang obeying Yang Luyan's instructions, everyone looked at Yang Lu with a little uncertainty.
Although the doubts in their hearts are about to skyrocket, everyone came here to make friends with Xi Ziang. No matter how weird they feel, Ren Yi and Su Cheng can't show it in public. They can only smile and express that they can meet a young man like Xi Daoyou. Junjie is also an honor for us, and Han Fulai also noticed that the atmosphere at the scene was rather strange, and quickly greeted everyone to take their seats.
But even this kind of ordinary procedural matter has caused problems, both big and small. Since the power of cultivators in Kyushu is attributed to themselves, their power status is highly linked to their cultivation realm. In terms of strict hierarchy, it is even worse than on Earth. When holding a banquet, it is also necessary to arrange seats in order according to status.
Before Xi Ziang arrived, Ren Yi, who had the highest status, had always sat at the top of the banquet, while Yang Lu could only accompany him at the bottom. However, as the protagonist of Xi Ziang's banquet, even if he did not sit in front of Ren Yi, at least Also sit in front of Yang Road.
As a result, when Xi Ziang heard that he was going to sit on top of Advisor Yang, his buttocks jumped up like a charcoal was lit. After all, when he was on the battlefield outside the territory, he would take the initiative to trail Advisor Yang by half a body when walking. Respect, if you want him to sit at the head of Yang Road now, he probably won't be able to take a bite of this meal.
So he repeatedly said that he could sit at the main seat because of his virtue. He could just sit under Advisor Yang. But the problem was that Yang Lu was supposed to sit with him at the bottom of the table. If Xi Ziang sat behind Yang Lu, wouldn't it mean that he would become the whole family? The person with the lowest status in the field?
Even if Xi Ziang takes the initiative to stick his face over, no one can go up and slap him! So Su Cheng and Han Fulai immediately said that it is our honor in Haiya City that Fellow Daoist Xi can come to Haiya City, and they must sit next to Fellow Daoist Ren Yi. Even Ren Yi said that he would take the initiative to give up the first seat to him.
But no matter how they tried to persuade him, Xi Ziang just tried his best to find reasons to evade and had to sit behind Yang Lu. In the end, Yang Lu felt that it was too shameful and glared at Xi Ziang, so Xi Ziang reluctantly sat down. No matter how you look at it, his expression is awkward, like an underground party member sitting on the reactionary's tiger bench... Xi Ziang's restless look was naturally noticed by others, but Yang Lu was not too worried about the relationship between the two. The secrets of time will be exposed. After all, reasoning in the real world has never been that kind of
"Conan-style reasoning." The so-called Conan-style reasoning is the kind of hindsight reasoning that directly guesses the answer from an open-ended question, and then goes back to sort out the logic to find evidence.
Although this kind of reasoning seems to be very logical and interlocking, since there are countless possibilities in the open world itself, you can never be sure that the line of reasoning you are taking is the correct one until you eliminate other possibilities. The chosen direction of reasoning is precisely the biggest difficulty in reasoning, and the specific reasoning process is secondary.
To give the simplest example: At a certain murder scene, someone noticed a hole in the wooden floor. A normal detective would not care about these details, and would only think that it might be a hole accidentally touched by someone.
But Detective Conan is different. At this time, he will have a flash of inspiration in his mind, and then realize that this pit is likely to be the trace left after being triggered by an extremely complex murder trap. Then the audience will see Conan’s classmate Following this line of reasoning, we finally discovered the murder mechanism hidden by the murderer, as well as more evidence.
Then everyone will also find that this murder mechanism is so exquisitely designed that it is not only interconnected, but it can destroy the evidence on its own without the murderer even having to come out to finish it off, and provide the murderer with a perfect alibi. The only flaw is The hole left in the floor at the murder scene.
If it weren't for Conan's classmate's wisdom and martial arts, everyone might have been deceived by the murderer's alibi.
Then the crowd was shocked by the super high IQ of Conan and the criminals, and they all exclaimed
"Laotie 666". This is a bridge that once appeared in "Detective Conan", and similar bridges were repeatedly used by Gosho Aoyama.
Although this kind of plot is very enjoyable to watch and makes readers feel like their IQ has been crushed, after thinking deeply you will find that the entire reasoning process cannot withstand scrutiny at all and cannot be applied to real life. .
The most obvious question is: What if the pit on the wooden floor is not a mark left by a murder mechanism, but an ordinary pit? What should Conan do?
Then you may find that Conan-san wasted several days in vain, and then just proved
"This pit is indeed an ordinary pit", and there may be several similar pits on the wooden floor, and there may even be many pits on the door frame.
You can't let Conan-san suspect that every time he sees a pit, the clue is left by a murder agency!
As we all know, the world we live in is highly open, and everything has countless possibilities. The most powerful thing about Conan is that the clues he chooses to go deep into are always the ones that are really useful, and he can automatically eliminate those useless clues, otherwise even if Even though Conan was exhausted, he couldn't draw the correct conclusion.
as
"Conan-style reasoning" is useless in the real world. Unless there is betrayal by an insider, it will be equally difficult for outsiders to discover the secrets of Yang Lu's gang.
No matter how close the relationship between Yang Lu and Xi Ziang appears, Su Cheng and Han Fu will not go along with it.
Think of the clue "Yang Lu and Xi Ziang may have known each other for more than ten days on the battlefield outside the territory", because among all possible explanations, this clue can be said to be one of the most outrageous.
If they were willing, they could easily come up with dozens of explanations that were countless times more reasonable than this: For example, Xi Ziang was probably also a secret chess piece left by Li Qingyang.
Considering that Li Qingyang's great-granddaughter opened a chamber of commerce in Haiya City several years ago, and he has secretly arranged for Yang Lu to assist her, why can't Li Qingyang arrange another Xi Zi'ang to cooperate with Yang Lu overtly and covertly? Woolen cloth?
If both of them were secrets planted by Li Qingyang during his lifetime, and Yang Lu was
The status within the "Li Xingchang Department" is higher than that of Xi Ziang. Xi Ziang's respectful attitude towards Yang Lu makes perfect sense. It even makes sense why Xi Ziang can kill two golden wheels of merit in the battlefield outside the territory. explanation of.
After all, the person who can be selected as a chess piece by Li Qingyang is definitely not an ordinary person. Before Yang Lu joined the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, he was in a state of indifference, but when the Qingning Chamber of Commerce encountered a crisis, didn't he still expose it to everyone? One hand?
For another example, maybe Yang Lu got some ulterior facts about Xi Ziang? After all, Xi Ziang was unknown before, and suddenly he shines on the battlefield outside the territory. This is very similar to the protagonist in the storybook who suddenly gets some kind of special adventure, and if there is some ulterior secret behind this adventure, then it happens Yang Lu noticed it and became a handle for Yang Lu to threaten Xi Ziang. It also makes sense for Xi Ziang's respectful attitude towards Yang Lu.
If the guess is even more outrageous, is it not impossible that Xi Ziang and Yang Lu are a gay couple? Unless Su Cheng and Han Fulai can figure it out, there is no way they can send Yang Lu and Xi Ziang to this extraterritorial battlefield trial.
"Mysterious masked gang" direction association. Even until now, they didn't know that there was such a legend in the battlefield outside the territory.
After all, there are millions of trialists participating in each extraterritorial battlefield. There are countless unexpected situations that occur in the extraterritorial battlefield, and there are even more bizarre urban legends, such as
Rumors such as the "mysterious masked gang on the battlefield outside the territory" are not ranked at all. In other words, the few Nascent Soul stage elders who sent their disciples to hunt down Li Qingning took the matter seriously. Even if others heard about it, If you don’t, it will just turn a deaf ear to it, and you won’t even have the motivation to continue spreading such gossip.
If he hadn't been convinced that Han Fulai and Su Cheng would not be able to figure out the secret between them, Yang Lu might have found a way to escape immediately and would not have met Xi Ziang openly.
Seeing that Yang Lu did not shy away from his special relationship with Xi Ziang, the other three guests became even more unclear about the two people's background. The bigger problem was that if the banquet remained in this weird state, it might not be possible. The method went on normally.
Discovering that Xi Ziang never looked at the other guests at all, but glanced at Yang Lu with his peripheral vision when he found an opportunity. As the host of the banquet, Han Fulai could no longer hold back, so he had to take the initiative to ask: "Consultant Yang, Fellow Daoist Xi, The relationship between you two seems to be quite good! I don’t know when you met?" Although this question was asked to Xi Ziang, Xi Ziang didn’t dare to answer such a sensitive question, so he subconsciously turned his inquiring eyes to Xi Ziang. Yang Lu.
But Yang Lu just smiled very naturally, and then said casually: "I invented a small game called backgammon, and Daoyou Xi is my chess friend. We have been friends through chess for a long time." On the battlefield outside the territory, Xi Ziang did see Yang Lu playing backgammon with Li Qingning, and Han Fulai had also heard about this game.
Hearing that Yang Lu had given clear instructions, Xi Ziang immediately agreed:
"That's exactly what happened! The backgammon invented by Consultant Yang is very mysterious. Although it only has two colors, black and white, it contains an unfathomable philosophy of life. After a game of chess, your thoughts are clear, and your cultivation level is improved much faster. !" In fact, Xi Ziang doesn't know how to play backgammon at all.
But many cool articles in the world of Kyushu cultivation say this. The protagonist understands the power of the law after watching the immortal's game of chess, and understands the sword's meaning after seeing the immortal's sword mark. He is talking nonsense like this.
But others don't know whether Xi Ziang is talking nonsense. Even if he is indeed talking nonsense, the three of them can't beat him and make him reveal the truth. They can only believe it for the time being. However, Xi Ziang is right Everyone has seen Yang Luyan's obedience very clearly.
Although I don’t know why Xi Ziang treats Yang Lu like this
"Humble and courteous", but the message behind this attitude attracted everyone's attention. After Li Qingyang passed away, everyone originally thought that the Qingning Chamber of Commerce was going to decline. However, a look from Yang Lu could actually make Xi Ziyan obey his words. This made everyone have to re-evaluate the background of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, especially after they had been somewhat contemptuous before. Yang Lu's Su Cheng had a hint of solemnity in his smile.
No matter what method Yang Lu used to achieve it, he was able to manipulate the representatives of "Xu Zhen Financial Weekly" at will, and could make this influential figure of the Xi family in Yunlai City not dare to breathe. Qingning Chamber of Commerce does not look like it. It looks like it's going downhill!
Because everyone had other thoughts, the scene instantly became a little cold. After all, in this kind of social situation, the tone and method of speaking depend entirely on the status of the person talking. But since Xi Ziang came, the order of status in the scene has become a bit messy.
The most obvious question is, if you want to toast, who should start? If we respect Xi Ziang first, what if Xi Ziang expresses as he did just now that he must respect Yang Lu first?
But if you respect Yang Lu first, where will you put Ren Yi's face? The spiritual wines that can be served at this high-end banquet are all high-end goods that can significantly restore mana. They are most suitable for foreign monks like Xi Ziang and Ren Yi who have just traveled a long way to escape the light. However, Su Cheng just took it. The exquisite wine flask, whose spiritual energy was overflowing, turned a little red from suppressing it, but she didn't know in what order to speak.
In the end, Han Fulai, who had extremely high emotional intelligence, came up with a way to break the situation. He clapped his hands at the door and said, "Where is Shopkeeper Su?" After hearing Han Fulai's instructions, Shopkeeper Su of Haiya Pavilion, who was always on standby outside the private room, immediately Push the door open and enter.
He calmly observed the atmosphere in the private room and saw Han Fulai nodding slightly to him, so shopkeeper Su immediately turned around and ordered: "Bring them all in!"
