595 Sword Bearer Tryout
Huang Bi and the two sect leaders took the order to leave, and Wu Fan immediately summoned Taiyan Lao Zheng and others to come and discuss countermeasures.
"Boss, do you really want to be a sword-bearer? I've heard that a sword-bearer is a lifelong identity, a transcendent status, and a power outside the law. After going out from the viewing area of the conference hall, Feng Zuming had already inquired about what the sword-wielder meant, at this time.
"This, this, the sword-wielder is a status symbol after all, if I don't do it, someone else will do it, since it's beneficial, I don't think I'll do it. "Wu Fan has a little bit of expectation, said.
"Don't you know, if you become a sword-wielder, you can requisition someone else's wife, and the boss has a crush on a woman to sleep, as long as it is not from a powerful family, it is a simple matter. Taeyeon was already familiar with this extralegal power of the sword-wielder, and smiled indifferently.
Sect Master Pang has a pure temperament, although he has said two family affairs, but after all, he is still single, and Taiyan has a heart to promote narrowness, and he can't help laughing.
"Hmph——, as soon as the boss heard the proposal of the ghost clan in Haoqi Town, I'm afraid he wanted to be a sword-wielder, otherwise how could he vote in favor. The holy maiden pouted, and said with a look that had already expected Wu Fan's thoughts.
"Miao Chan, you can't spend my gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain. As a sword-wielder, I am out of overall consideration, not impulsively, out of selfishness. Wu Fan argued.
"Come on, you and Gu Liangxin made a marriage, saying that they were coerced, and they were constantly ambiguous with that Bao Weizi, saying that the situation was out of control. Also, today I saw the goddess Xian Yulei of the Moon Worship Sect, but she was affectionate to you, I was afraid that the fight on Moon Mountain that day was acting, you have affection and I have intentions, you have too much fame. ”
Cheng Qiuyun was furious, and she pulled out everything she said, not caring about Wu Fan's face at all.
"That is, only that Miss Bi, because the head of the family is like a bear's claw pig-headed beast, insists on principles and refuses to marry her. Li Meiyi also said aggrieved.
The two beauties bombarded in turn, and even Taeyeon and the saint Jian Miaochan, Xiang Huarong and other women were surprised, and they didn't understand why their grievances were so big.
Sect Master Pang said that he was an entourage recruited from outside, and Shangguan Qinyu ordered Huyue and Cheng Qiuyun and other women to sometimes show excessive intimacy with Wu Fan, which was incomprehensible.
It is not yet known whether he has any strange affairs with these beauties in private, but at this time, he can guess a rough idea from their mouths.
"Where, where. ”
Wu Fan couldn't refute what they said, so he could only smile. Originally, I was going to discuss the selection of sword-wielders, but I couldn't talk about it.
That night, Wu Fan practiced in the guest room for a while, and it was the morning of the second day, and after washing up, he went to the square in front of the main hall of the Joint Resolution Council.
The selection contest for the sword bearer is about to begin, and in the middle of the square, three areas are divided.
The first area is a meditation area, where a table and a chair are placed to practice the "Yin Heart Breaking Method" of the ghost clan of Haoqi Town within a limited time, and then Lei Zhengqing, the patriarch of the ghost clan of Haoqi Town, will take the test for the school, and the winner will enter the next round.
In the second area, there are seven large steel cages, each containing a dozen white-tailed falcons, which are extremely manic and unsane. There are also two small cages that are empty, and a wooden sign is set up next to them, which explains the rules of the competition: the white-tailed falcon cat that has deliberately destroyed the three souls and seven spirits by the spiritual power sage, and the contestants only need to restore the three souls and seven spirits of one of them to become the winner.
In the third area, a small transparent house with a hollow column was erected, the whole house was refined by spirit crystals, the roof was sealed in one piece, there was a transparent sphere, and there was a three-inch-wide dark line on each side of the door. The rules of the competition are explained on the wooden sign next to the house, and when the contestants close the door after entering the house, the powerful energy on their bodies will force the black gas on both sides to rise, and the transparent sphere that completely enters the roof is the winner.
That is to say, the contestants have to go through three competitions, one is to practice the comprehension of the "Yin Breaking Heart Method", the second is the depth of the spiritual power realm, not only to be profound, but also to have the ability to repair the three souls and seven spirits, and the third is whether there is Haoran Qi in the body, and whether the degree of Haoran Qi meets the requirements.
Wu Fan walked around, and he already knew it in his heart, so he looked for Lao Zheng and the others and met them.
The Taeyan Holy Maiden Jian Miaochan and Xiang Huarong, Shangguan Qinyu, Ling Huyue and other women were full of interest, because they had never seen the selection of sword wielders, and they felt fresh and interesting.
The square was crowded with people, and in addition to the many monks of various sects coming to watch, many people from Tianjiang City also came to see the excitement, and the number reached tens of thousands.
The monks in charge of order set up checkpoints at various intersections to control the flow of people into the square.
The sword-bearer is related to the public safety of the entire Qiming Continent, so the selection of a sword-bearer is solemn and enthusiastic. The Resolution Institute sent a large number of staff members to be responsible for arranging the selection site, making the lights colorful and the gongs and drums noisy.
Five monks arrived in a procession, and their arrival caused a sensation.
Lei Zhengqing changed into a purple robe trimmed with gold edges, and carried a huge wooden sword on his body, this is the famous Supreme Mahogany Sword, and appeared with four sword-wielding people in the same costume.
As the patriarch of the ghost clan in Haoqi Town, Lei Zhengqing, who is also a sword-wielder, is over sixty years old, with short hair and gray hair, but his complexion is ruddy and his spirit is strong.
The four sword-wielding men behind him, ranging in age from thirty to fifty, each with a high cultivation realm, exuding a huge martial arts aura, were all righteous and awe-inspiring.
The five marched to the first area, the edge of the sit-in area, where six wooden pillars were erected, each with a black plank nailed to it. From left to right, except for a blank black wooden board at the end, the remaining five pieces are written with a list of sword holders: Lei Zhengqing, Lei Xian, Shao Meng, Ma Zhongyu, and He Xiong.
Each of the five sword-bearers stood in front of the wooden planks with their names and was cheered on by the audience, some of whom eagerly stepped forward and asked the sword-bearers to sign their handkerchiefs.
If the sixth sword-bearer is selected and can collect the signatures of the six people, it will be a rare and glorious event in a thousand years.
"All councillors, please enter!" an old man in a blue robe let out his Dan Qi, and his voice was amplified, deafening, covering out the noise, which could be heard by the entire square.
After Wu Fan instructed Shen Tianbao not to run around, he said goodbye to Lao Zheng and the others and went to the sit-in area.
A total of 153 members of the Resolution Council, including the President and Vice President of the Resolution House Li Yuzhen and Tony, as well as all the Resolutions Chairmen, came to the sit-in area and sat down in order.
All the councillors are summoned to come, firstly, to check the number of members, and secondly, if they have given up the selection competition, they must make a statement on the spot, so that the final list can be drawn up.
The blue-robed old man held a piece of paper in his left hand, on which was the list of councilors, and a pen in his right hand, calling out the names one by one.
"To-" Every time one is called, the one who is sure to participate in the competition shouts "to".
Those who decided to abstain shouted "I abstain", stood up and walked out of the sit-in area, and the old man in the blue robe ticked the name of the abstainer on the list and continued to call the next one.
Wu Fan sat on the right side of the second row, he looked at the left hand side of the back row, Gu Liangxin and Bao Weizi were there, and the two of them were looking at Wu Fan, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.
Elder Huang and Elder Bi, as well as the Vacuum Old Mother Sect and the other councilors of the Chongyang Palace, all called "I abstain" and left the sit-in area, and after reading Pang Hai's name, Wu Fan shouted.
Gu Liangxin and Bao Weizi both abstained, and Wu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, it was a wise choice for them not to waste time participating in the selection.
Li Yuzhen, the president of the Resolution Academy, and Tony, the vice president, both confirmed that they wanted to participate, which shows that the identity of the sword bearer is still quite attractive.
It is estimated that some sect legislators abstain from voting, and in the end, more than 100 people will participate in the selection.
"To-" A crisp and pleasant woman's voice came from behind Wu Fan, Wu Fan turned his head to look, it turned out to be from Xian Yulei, the goddess of the Moon Sacrifice Sect.
I didn't see Xian Yulei before, but it turned out to be in a row behind me, no wonder I didn't see it. Wu Fan secretly wondered.
Roll call continues!
Wu Fan turned his head to look at Xian Yulei and said in a low voice, "Why do you also participate in the selection of sword wielders?"
"The Pei Sect Masters of our sect have all abstained, our sect can't do without one, right?!" Xian Yulei smiled and responded.
"Hey, why bother, the chances of you being able to pick are slim, there's no need to waste time. Wu Fan sighed.
"Dean Li's spiritual power realm may not be comparable to me, and I definitely have a chance. Xian Yulei said confidently.
Her towering bun, dressed in a pale green dress, looks like a fairy, and she sits on a bluestone slab, which is particularly eye-catching.
Some of the young friars' bewildered gazes kept scanning her, eager to strip her of her clothes with their gazes.
"There is a chance, but the chance is too small, so you just give up, okay?" Wu Fan said a little unsafely.
The day before yesterday, Wu Fan and Xian Yulei fought on the Moon Mountain in the main altar of the Moon Worship Sect, and because they couldn't beat Xian Yulei, they took her into the barren land of Pangu Tears.
Wu Fan went to find her again, and the two got along alone, because of their in-depth understanding and mutual affection. Xian Yulei misunderstood that Wu Fan died because she jumped off a cliff, and when Wu Fan returned to take her away from Pangu Tears, she couldn't control herself, and finally swore that "you will not live up to me, I will live up to you." ”
Just because of the alliance between the sea and the mountains, Wu Fan thought that Xian Yulei would definitely listen to him, and asked her to give up the tryouts, and she would do so.
"Ah Hai, I said it all, no matter how small the opportunity is, there is a chance, why should I give up!" Xian Yulei raised her voice a little.
"Then I want you to give up, why don't you listen?!" Wu Fan was a little angry, and raised his voice a little.
"Is it because I'm a woman that I'm not qualified to be a sword-wielder? Xian Yulei said.
In the blink of an eye, the roll call ended, and the old man in the blue robe checked off the names of all the abstentions, counted them, and the number of participants was one hundred and one.
Tens of thousands of spectators were looking at the outside of the demarcated coil, quietly waiting for the next link.
"Women are indeed qualified to be sword wielders, but why do you show your face?" Wu Fan questioned Xian Yulei.
"The status of a sword-bearer is respected, and if you can become a female sword-bearer, it will make history, because for tens of thousands of years, there has never been a female sword-bearer. How do you say that, it's a good thing to show up. Xian Yulei's voice was much louder, and the crowd of onlookers not far away could hear it.
Wu Fan and Xian Yulei didn't know that the roll call had ended, and the quarrel between the two of them was getting louder and louder, and many people heard it.
"What bullshit history, the Qiming Continent is inferior to men and women, you can't change this status quo, even if you become a female sword bearer, what is it. Wu Fan said angrily, he couldn't understand why Xian Yulei was so tough.
At this time, Wu Fan sat on the spot and turned around, facing Xian Yulei.
"Then even if it is to fight for the honor of our Sacrifice to the Moon God Sect, as a goddess in the sect and the future successor of the sect leader, this is also what it should be. Xian Yulei argued with reason, and she couldn't understand why Wu Fan wanted to give up by herself.
"Okay, I won't fight with you, for my sake, will you give up?" Wu Fan took a step back.
"Could it be that you are confident that you will definitely be able to select the sword-wielder, and you don't want the two of us to fight in the end, do you?" Xian Yulei was still puzzled and asked in a loud voice.
Her voice is like a warbler's cry, with a little softness, melodious, and beautiful, making people feel like a spring breeze, but at this time there is also a little crying.
Xian Yulei has long decided in her heart that Pang Hai is her lover for the rest of her life, but she must also be reasonable.
