Cultivation starts with time management

She filtered the rules in her mind again, and realized that she had to control the identity of the other party's chosen person and her own chosen person at the same time.

Knowing the opponent's chosen person is of course the key element to win the final victory; but if one's own chosen person is guessed by the opponent, it will lead to two losses and one loss.

There are two ways to prevent this latter situation:

One is concealment, that is, preventing the other party from detecting the real situation;

The second is deception, that is, allowing the other party to detect a false situation.

To do both, it is necessary to know who your chosen ones are, and then skillfully apply switching strategies to make changes.

Just make sure that the other party answers wrong in the end.

Thinking about it this way, deception is actually more efficient than concealment—because in order to detect the intelligence on the other side, you must communicate and probe with each other.

As long as you communicate with each other, you will inevitably disclose information to the other party, so concealment is an inefficient and passive approach, while active deception is more likely to be effective.

Xu Yinglian looked at the crowd again.

There are a total of six people present. I, Senior Brother, and Senior Sister Luo are naturally on one side. The Master Miao Dan from Shushan can fight for it, and the two Demon Cult Masters... Seeing their unabashed hostility, it seems that they have no intention of cooperating with us at all. .

I'm afraid I have the dream of "guessing the chosen one on the other side" and "taking the chosen one here" at the same time.

That would be troublesome.According to the rules given by Zhenjun Liandu, the existence of these two people is definitely the kind that is not enough for success and more than failure. It would be great if they could be killed in advance...

"Okay." Zhenjun Liandu suddenly smiled and said, "I have already notified the chosen one of my choice."

"Next, you can discuss freely!"

After finishing speaking, the old man raised his sleeves and left with a big laugh.

Xu Yinglian immediately got up to 12 points, her Qiqiao Linglong heart was running quickly, and her eyes swept over the surrounding people.

Not me, who?

I saw two Daoist Daoist demons showing some angry expressions at the same time; Daoist Miaodan from Shushan was half-green and half-white; Senior Sister Luo Baiyuan was expressionless; the brother continued to drink by himself with a wine glass, shaking the wine from time to time liquid……

brother!No matter what time it is, you are still showing off here!

Xu Yinglian had no choice but to take the initiative to say:

"I am real Qiongying from Kunlun."

"Although I don't like boasting, you must have heard my name."

"Hmph." Before the two real demons could speak, the real Miao Dan from Shushan spoke first, "Xu Family in Tiannan, Fairy Fenghuang, who doesn't know?"

Xu Yinglian frowned slightly, noticing that the Master Shushan seemed to be planning to not help each other, so he said in a cold voice:

"Since this is the case, you should know that my talent and strength are among the best among you."

"If True Monarch Liandu selects disciples and imparts mantle based on strength and talent, then my brother and I have a high probability of being selected... However, the reality is that neither of us was selected."

"The reason is actually very simple: the real people on Jiuhua Zhenjun's side must have the same guess."

"In the worst case scenario, if there are still people on their side who have failed to guess the answer by noon tomorrow, then in the case of blind guessing, there must be the most people who choose me and senior brother."

"Zhenjun Liandu must have considered this in advance, so he didn't choose me and senior brother. Can you understand this statement?"

"Wait a minute." A certain Daoist Daoist suddenly said, "Even so..."

"Dare to ask?" Xu Yinglian asked abruptly.

"The Dao name is 'Magic Flame'." The Daoist Demon Yan said bluntly, "Your analysis is no problem, but the true master of refining may not be as you expected, right? Maybe he sees a first-grade golden elixir very rare, and he loves it. Heart is so hot, so why don't we choose Daoist Chang Geng first?"

"It's very simple." Xu Yinglian said calmly, "Because Zhenjun Liandu mentioned that he is betting with Zhenjun Jiuhua."

"What does betting mean, don't I need to explain it to you? Since it's a battle of spirits, winning or losing is more important, otherwise there is no need to make this bet."

"In addition, even if you choose me and senior brother, as long as someone guesses correctly, your identity will be transferred immediately. Therefore, instead of holding on to 'what kind of person to pass the Taoism to', it is better to hold on to 'to win this game' The gamble is more realistic." Xu Yinglian finally sneered, "Of course, if someone judges others by himself and thinks that Liandu Zhenjun will be as stupid as him, that's another matter."

"You..." Moyan Daoist's face darkened suddenly, and he wanted to make a move, but he thought of the previous warning from Master Liandu, so he could only restrain himself.

Qiu Changtian was drinking happily beside him, thinking that this person was far inferior to Junior Sister Xu in terms of eloquence.

What many people don't know is that words and thoughts are connected through emotions.

If you can't refute the other party in language, you will often be shaken in thought. This is the instinctive habit of human beings in social aspects.

As long as Junior Sister can control this situation, the rest will be much easier.

"In short, the chosen ones are not me and senior brother." Xu Yinglian finally said, "I have a proposal here."

"If anyone already knows that he is the chosen one, he can privately inform me through sound transmission. As compensation, I will teach him a method."

As soon as this statement came out, all the people present were pale.

Xu Yinglian's intention was obvious, that he wanted to take away the position of the chosen one from that person, and then compensate him for the Taoism that he originally deserved.

"Your way of Taoism may not be better than that taught by Zhenjun Liandu, right?" Master Miaodan of Shushan asked again.

"Maybe." Xu Yinglian said leisurely, "But as long as you tell me, I will definitely give it."

"As for the chosen one who refines the True Monarch, even if it is you now, it may not be you by noon tomorrow."

"A bluff!" Master Mo Yan sneered again, "If it were me, I wouldn't say anything, what can you do?"

"Nothing." Qiu Changtian said suddenly, "Violence cannot be used here, but not necessarily there."

Chapter 12 The Perfect Game Breaker

After Qiu Changtian opened his mouth, everyone finally lost their composure.

"Is this a threat?" Another real person from the Devil's Cult asked gloomily.

"No, this is a reminder." Qiu Changtian said calmly, "In the area of ​​'not being guessed by the other party', our interests are the same."

"For the sake of the same interests, we can temporarily suspend the war and cooperate. If we leave this aside, we will have nothing to talk about."

The audience finally fell silent, and everyone began to think carefully about the meaning.

After a while, the Demon Flame Master said slowly:

"I'm not the chosen one."

"I'm not either." The Demon Sect Daoist next to him also said the same.

"Hehe." Master Miaodan of Shushan laughed suddenly, "I'm not either... It seems that the chosen one is among you Kunlun."

Her laughter was full of sarcasm, so much so that Xu Yinglian frowned, and was about to speak, when suddenly she heard an arrogant voice from outside:

"So you are here, Mo Yan! Great, who is the chosen one here, can you tell me?"

Four Yin Gui Dao monks swaggered in, and Xu Yinglian keenly noticed that a trace of extremely subtle fear and fear flashed across the face of the real Mo Yan.

Qiu Changtian also looked intently, and the leader of the Yin Gui Dao cultivator looked unfamiliar, and he had never seen him before, but judging from the breath released by the other party, it was probably at the low level of the Golden Core Realm.

"Yo, Han Yuan is here too?" The other party suddenly noticed Luo Baiyuan, and stepped on her desk, showing a provocative smile.

"Mogu, take your foot off." Luo Baiyuan said with a frown.

"Don't take it." The other party seemed to want to disgust her on purpose, and said with a smile, "You hit me if you have the ability?"

Qiu Changtian was thoughtful at the side, thinking that according to what True Monarch Liandu said before, using force here should violate certain rules.

The other party seemed extremely arrogant, but he was actually trying to lure Senior Sister Luo to do it first, which meant that he was not as rough as he looked, but rather a scheming guy.

"It stinks." Luo Baiyuan didn't fall for the trick, but got up to avoid it, covered his nose with his sleeve, and walked to Xu Yinglian's side, "This man's feet are still so smelly."

"Senior Sister, come here quickly." Xu Yinglian cast the universal voiceless little light spell, placed it directly on Luo Baiyuan's body, and said, "Come here quickly, be careful not to get poisoned."

"Pfft." Reverend Miaodan on the opposite side immediately burst out laughing, and seeing the real Mogu looking over with a displeased face, she said teasingly, "Mogu, you are a practitioner, why do you still have athlete's foot? ah?"

Real Mogu's face darkened, but he wasn't stupid enough to directly argue with the other party on the topic of "beriberi". His eyes quickly swept across the audience, and soon fell on Qiu Changtian.

"A first-grade golden elixir, Chang Geng Daoist." He gasped in amazement, "It is said that he is born with a clear Dao heart, and he is being taught by Ziwei in Kunlun!"

"How is it? Did the True Master of Refining Designate you as the chosen one? Can you tell me, Senior Brother Qiu?"

"Yes." Qiu Changtian nodded readily, "It's me. After you go back, you can report my name."

Daoist Demon Bone was staring at him provocatively, but his eyes widened when he heard this.

After a while, he sneered and said:

"You want to lure me into being fooled? You really underestimate me, don't you?"

"I didn't lie and I don't need to lie." Qiu Changtian said indifferently, "You can't believe it, that's your business."

"A clumsy way of provoking generals." Mogu Daoist said coldly, his eyes swept over the crowd again, and suddenly he laughed, "Keep hiding your heads and showing your tail!"

"Anyway, I've found the perfect solution to break the situation. Before you fail completely, just keep struggling! Hahahaha..."

After speaking, he took the other three true demon cultists and left in a swaggering manner.

The six real people who stayed in the field were looking at me and you, but no one spoke for a while.

"Brother." Xu Yinglian communicated with Qiu Changtian using the method of sound transmission and asked, "He said, the perfect solution to break the situation, do you think it is true or not?"

"There is no perfect way to break the game." Qiu Changtian pondered for a moment, then replied, "But there must be a way to break the game... Do you remember the number of demon cult masters who came with him?"

"Three people, what's the matter?" Xu Yinglian said hesitantly, and suddenly realized, "Could it be!"

"If he can form a complete control over the three Demonic Sect real people, then rule out the possibility of the other two Demonic Sect real people on our side. They only need to guess which of the four of us is the best after noon tomorrow. Just one person." Qiu Changtian replied, "In this way, Yin Guidao will inevitably produce a person who guesses correctly in this test."

"If this is the case, can we do the same thing?" Xu Yinglian immediately had an idea, then frowned and vetoed, "No!"

"That's right, it's really not possible." Qiu Changtian replied, "Even if we can convince Senior Sister Luo, it will be difficult for Master Miao Dan in Shushan to agree to cooperate with us in this way—after all, she only has a quarter of her Guess the chance correctly, but our Kunlun is three out of four.”

"If she thinks that someone opposite is the chosen one, and I have already guessed this person, then she may not be willing to modify her answer." Xu Yinglian said with a sigh, "After all, letting Kunlun win has nothing to her. benefits."

"That's right." Qiu Changtian said in a deep voice, "For the real Mogu himself, the probability of being able to guess correctly is only a quarter, so he still wants to find out who it is, so that the victory can be included. He has it in his own hands. But if he really guesses wrong, it will ensure that Yin Guidao will win this test, and he will also be rewarded by the sect."

"However, for Master Miaodan, if she guesses wrong, it is impossible for Shushan to reward her for Kunlun's victory. That's why we can't imitate him."

"In this match, the composition of the opponent's team is really superior." Xu Yinglian said with a sigh, "Unless we can try to transfer the identity of the chosen one to the two demon monks on the opposite side, and don't allow him to They informed the Demon Bone Master, otherwise they would definitely be guessed by the other side, right?"

"I'm afraid it will be very difficult to do." Qiu Changtian replied, "Because the real demon bone man on the opposite side said so, I think he is sure that these two demon cultivators will not dare to disobey him, so it can be called perfect A solution to the situation."

"Forget it." Xu Yinglian said with a sigh, "Since senior brother can thoroughly analyze the mind of this real devil bone, I think he already has a perfect plan, right?"

"I don't dare to say a perfect strategy." Qiu Changtian smiled, "If the other side guesses correctly, I'm at most ninety-nine percent sure."

Chapter 13 Playing Rogue with the Rules

Xu Yinglian didn't know where her senior brother's "ninety-nine percent certainty" came from, but she decided to investigate it herself.

On the way to Zhenjun Jiuhua, she asked Luo Baiyuan seriously:

"Senior Sister Han Yuan, you seem to know the leading monk of the Yin Gui Dao? Can you tell me about his specific information?"

"There is nothing to say." Luo Baiyuan thought for a moment, and said honestly, "Mogu Daoist is the youngest son of Fu Xie, the current master of Yin Gui Dao, and his real name is 'Hu Qi'."

"Among Fu Xie's sons and daughters, this person has the highest aptitude for cultivation, but he also has the worst temperament."

"He once publicly slandered Yin Guidao's sect system for being too weak, and it even reached the ears of Old Demon Bone, who severely reprimanded Sect Master Fu Xie."

Deliberately pollute yourself?Is it to dispel the doubts of the brothers and show that he has no intention of inheriting the suzerain?Xu Yinglian secretly guessed.

"Too weak? What do you mean?" Qiu Changtian asked curiously.

"You must have heard of the sect system of Yin Gui Dao, right?" Luo Baiyuan said with a frown, "They implement an extremely cruel elite competition system, no matter what the disciples' backgrounds are, they are all divided into two categories according to their combat power."

"Among the elite disciples, those at the foundation-building stage are called 'judges'; those at the golden core stage are called 'temple masters'. Anyone who can enter the ranks of judges and hall masters can get the support of the sect's resources."

"Isn't this normal?" Xu Yinglian asked strangely, "Even in Kunlun, there are inner disciples and outer disciples."

"It's not the same." Luo Baiyuan shook his head and said, "Our inner and outer disciples of Kunlun are divided according to the disciples' cultivation aptitude."

"Their teams of judges and hall masters are qualified according to the strength of their fighting skills, and they have to fight every now and then. The fierce ones advance, and the gentle ones retreat."

"Shangqing sect's Immortal Sword List in Shushan was originally imitated from Yin Guidao's 'Yan Luo Bang', but Shushan only rewards the top sword immortals on the list, and those who fail to make the list will not be punished."

"However, in the Yin Gui Dao, if you can't get on the Yan Luo Bang, if you can't get into the ranks of judges and hall masters, not only will you be restricted in terms of cultivation resources, but even your master will give up training you, which is almost equivalent to the path of Taoism. Lost hope... Therefore, its internal competition is fierce, which is comparable to that of ordinary sects."

"When the demon bone real person was in the foundation building stage, he publicly claimed that this system was called 'survival of the fittest', but in fact it handed over the power of the sect to the elders in disguise. Because the elders can concentrate their resources on their favorite disciples body, so these disciples can quickly become stronger, and it is easier than other disciples to enter the ranks of judges and hall masters, and the result is that other people will never have a bright future."

Xu Yinglian was silent for a moment, showing a "what's wrong?" expression.

In her opinion, it is a matter of course for the master to decide how to train students according to their qualifications.

Yin Guidao uses "strength in fighting skills" to determine the distribution of cultivation resources, which has already destroyed the tradition of "master-student inheritance" to a certain extent. As a result, the devil bone jumped out and said, "It is not enough to get enough", "It is best to Let the master have no way to intervene in the cultivation of apprentices", it is simply a deviant move.

However, Qiu Changtian could fully understand the meaning of the real Mogu.
