Volume 1 Entering Nanze Chapter 257 Contest Rules
At the gate of the Zhao family, a row of people wearing blue robes stood solemnly, led by Zhao Guangguang, the head of the four major families, followed by Li Chuanshao of the Li family, Yuan Dong of the Yuan family, Wang Kun of the Wang family, and some heads of small families.
No one spoke, and when they saw the four sedans approaching, they walked up together.
The four cars came to a slow stop, and out of each car stepped down a man in a purple robe with long hair tied behind him, all wearing masks on his face, and he could see his face, only his eyes.
The four of them could barely tell who was who.
"Welcome to the four notaries!" Zhao Guangguang and the others greeted in unison and bowed deeply.
The four of them nodded, and the one on the far left said, "You're welcome, go in and talk!"
It's loud, it's kind of deafening.
"Yes, come with me, four!"
Zhao Guangguang stepped forward to lead the way and walked into a delicate house in the middle of the eastern community.
The four notaries walked in in unison, even in unison, and walked in a row.
The heads of the other houses followed, and when everyone entered, the doors of the complex were closed.
Entering the living room of the villa, the first four seats were arranged in a row, and the four notaries sat down almost at the same time.
The rest of the families also looked at their seats and made their own seats.
It was quiet in the living room, and everyone looked at the four notaries, waiting for them to speak.
The notary on the left is much lower, but every word is still very clear.
"On the way to cultivate the truth, pay attention to the time, place, and people, to put it bluntly, you must have good qualifications, a good cultivation location, and a good opportunity and a good cultivation method and experience.
"My three brothers and I are in the Nine Mountains, where there are many people, from the Supreme to the Foundation, and countless others!"
The notary talked eloquently, the living room was very quiet, and everyone listened attentively.
"We often say that a mountain is higher than a mountain, what we mean is that the cultivation of truth is endless, no matter how high the master, there will always be a master in front of him, and there is no edge in sight! Geographically speaking, Jiuzhong Mountain is like this, I and the three brothers coincided with it, a hundred years ago into the triple, and now it is just the peak of Jindan!"
"As for the ninefold ascent to the top, that is not an ideal that can be achieved by our qualifications, let alone the ethereal Supreme Island!"
"These are too many words, it can be regarded as a little cultivation emotion!" said and sighed, there seemed to be a little loneliness in his tone, "You are now stepping from Qi cultivation to foundation building, it often takes decades, and those who are unlucky will not be able to achieve it in a lifetime, it is not easy, maybe your father and even the ancestors are also cultivating the Nine Mountains, or hope that their descendants and grandchildren can get ahead and enter the Nine Layers of Mountains as soon as possible!"
"But how easy is this to say? Relying only on the foundation of one's own family, it is naturally difficult to make progress by holding on to the defects!"
"So hundreds of years ago, several masters set this competition, the purpose is to learn from the strengths of all families, to reward the family with the intention of cultivating the truth, after hundreds of years, the rules of the competition have been continuously improved, and now it can be said to be perfect!"
Saying that, he slowly swept around these family heads and said: "This year, the above arranged for me and three to come to the notarization, according to the fair rules of the game, to avoid favoritism and fraud, hindering the fairness of the game, and use the code name to participate in the referee of the game, I am the code name Lei, and the three brothers are electricity, light, and wind!"
The other three nodded.
"Of course, the name itself is meaningless, you don't have to care! We will judge this year's Maison Championship fairly and impartially according to the rules to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of each Maison!"
"Yes!" replied the heads of the families in unison.
After Lei notarized the introduction, he continued: "Let's take a look at the list of participants this year!"
Zhao Guangguang respectfully handed over the list, and the four notaries looked at it separately.
"Li Chuanshao!" said Lei Notary.
Li Chuanshao stood up and bowed.
"Yuan Dong!"
"Wang Kun!"
"Zhao Guangguang!"
"Su Lie!"
"He Shiwen!"
"Zeng Kang!"
"Mo Qianshan!"
"Hou Wuzhou!"
Every time a name is spoken, someone stands up and bows.
"Ji Hu!" the name was pronounced, but no one stood up.
Lei notarized without any hesitation, and said directly: "If you haven't come after this meeting, you will be disqualified!"
"Yes!" The four great families are nothing, and they don't feel that it has much impact if they come, and they are happy that other small families are happy, and the lack of a competitor has an extra chance of winning, so the face of the little family owner is full of joy.
"The admission materials for this year's competition are ready!" Lei notarized looked at Zhao Guangguang.
Zhao Guangguang nodded and said: "According to the previous requirements, the preparations have been completed, and the various families have sent all the admission materials here before today, and there is nothing missing!"
"Okay!" Lei notary nodded, "Report the specific situation!"
"Yes!" Zhao Guangguang stood up and said, speaking very slowly, for fear of mispronouncing a word, "A total of ten boxes of hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, ten boxes of hundred-year-old ginseng, ten boxes of hundred-year-old Poria cocos, five hundred catties of gold, and one hundred pieces of fine Xiuyu!"
Zhao Guangguang pointed at the list of items while opening the large boxes placed on both sides of the living room.
Lei notary took a look, and there was a knock on the door.
"Let's see what's going on!"
Zhao Guangguang frowned and walked out.
Soon he walked back and said, "Four notaries, Ji Hu, the head of the Ji family, is here!"
The four of them glanced at each other, and Lei notarized and said, "The meeting is not over yet, and it is not too late, let him in!"
Zhao Guangguang went out to open the door, and a fat man in a blue robe walked in the door, and trotted a few steps before stopping.
looked at it and bowed deeply to the four notaries: "Ji encountered a little unexpected delay on the way, and I hope the four notaries and the heads of the family will understand!"
"Forget it, just sit down!!" Ray notarized said.
"Thank you!" Ji Hu sat down in his seat.
Several small family heads had dissatisfaction on their faces.
"Your admission materials have been inventoried, and I have seen it, it's rare for you to be so dedicated!" Lei Cheng said, "But to put it bluntly, these things are also prepared for you, refining Qi Gathering Pills every year, the cost is not small, don't feel distressed!"
"It should be done!" Zhao Guangguang handed the list to Lei Notarization and returned to his seat.
"Since you are so dedicated, we can't be small, now let's talk about the treasure we brought!" Lei Zheng finished speaking, and took out a thread-bound book from his body.
"This is a book, written by Bai He, a real person from the Triple Mountain, and it is the reward for the first place in this competition!" Lei Zheng said, "Bai Zhenren used forty years to cultivate from an ordinary person to the peak of foundation building, this speed is already beyond most cultivators, Bai Zhenren is now the peak of Jindan, but he is only eighty years old! Breaking through Jindan and stepping into Yuanying is just around the corner!"
The people below are excited, how many people are still only at the peak of Qi cultivation, although this sect has always had a cultivation method, but only by absorbing the strengths of others can it continue to improve, not to mention if you encounter a book that can improve quickly!
"The second place is a book, written by the real Cangmu of the Mie Mountain, Cangmu is now in the early stage of Jindan, and will soon break through to the middle stage, and the age is only seventy, and the future is immeasurable!"
Then Lei notarized all the things in the rankings one by one, all the families who participated in the competition had rewards, even if it was the last place, there was also a copy, which was also very precious for the little-known small family.
"Of course! The cultivation methods are all the summaries of the real people themselves, as for the speed of comprehension and cultivation, it depends on the individual's qualifications, if the qualifications are dull, even if they are placed in the Nine Mountains with abundant true qi, there will be no progress!"
"In addition to these cultivation classics, this year's Qi Gathering Pill is also five hundred, divided into three types: large, medium and small, how much you can get depends on the ability of each of your families!"
After Lei notarized the case, the other three referees took out a small black box from their bodies, which contained large, medium and small qi gathering pills, and the three of them stood up and walked over to open it to show the next person.
All the family heads saw that the Qi Gathering Pill was shining with their eyes, and if this big one was eaten, it could be enough to absorb a year's worth of true qi, and the smallest one could also be worth three months.
After the three referees walked back, Lei Zheng continued: "This year, as in previous years, it is also to decide the four major families and the six minor families, according to the ranking, they will get these cultivation classics and qi gathering pills respectively, and whoever the flowers fall and how much you can get depends on your usual cultivation!"
"But I want to emphasize one thing in particular, no one should think about cheating, once discovered, my three brothers and I will abolish all his cultivation on the spot, and expel him from the ranks of the family, and never enter!" Lei notarized's face could not be seen, but there was a hint of fierceness in his eyes.
"Yes!" replied in unison to the heads of the house.
"Of course, there is one more reminder!" Lei Zheng continued, "For hundreds of years, the position of the four great families has not changed, and the sphere of influence in the secular world has hardly changed, we have always advocated that you should have healthy competition, so you still have to control those people in the secular world, now this era is not hundreds of years ago, you must pay attention to order, law and morality, if it is too out of line, you must punish those who should be punished, otherwise you will reap the consequences!"
"Yes!" all the heads of the family held their breath, and everyone knew in their hearts that the situation in the secular world was indeed not optimistic.
It seems that the people in Kuju Mountain still have some understanding of the things in the world.
Things were almost arranged, and Notary Lei said to the other three notarizations: "Three brothers, do you have anything to explain?"
All three shook their heads and didn't say a word the whole time.
"Okay, now you all go back to your respective residences first, and we will determine the number of matches according to the list you provided!" said Lei Zheng, "You also go back to your rooms, from now on, you must not leave this door for half a step, otherwise you will be disqualified!"
"Yes!" replied in unison, leaving in turn, entering the other villas in this courtyard and closing the doors.
The rest of the communities were also closed one after another, allowing them to enter but not to leave.
