Mo Tengyuan nodded, and replied with a reluctant expression: "The junior brother was rescued by Yuan Maosheng, the president of the Yunyang City Spirit Pattern Master Union, and now it is his followers. ”

He said that Yao Jisheng was curious, Yuan Maosheng, as the president of the Ayutthaya Trade Union, what did he do when he went to the Arctic Ice Field, even if he was not the president at the time, he could go to guard there as a spirit pattern master, and he would not enter the ice field, but stay in the station.

Asking this question, Mo Tengyuan complained: "Brother Yao, don't you know, why is my brother unwilling to be his follower, this old man is just an idle person, from time to time on a whim, running around in a hurry, it is difficult to be his follower." ”

Yao Jisheng also smiled bitterly, how can fellow followers not know that if you follow an unreliable master, then the fun will be great, you have to be worried about him all day long, then it is not tiring to death.

But this can't be said yet, so as not to put pressure on friends, the two haven't seen each other for many years, after saying these and chatting about some other gossip, seeing that the time is almost up, Mo Tengyuan returned to his union and told Yao Jisheng to go to his place after the competition.

The contestants on the stage are ready, staring at the judges, waiting for them to give the order to start the competition.

The eight-rank spirit pattern master closed his eyes as if he was asleep, and waited until the end of the hour before he opened his eyes when the clock rang, stood up and introduced: "Old man Lin Zhiyuan, the spirit pattern master of the Jingzhou Branch of the Moxiang Pavilion, the chief judge of this competition, the competition is presided over by this Mrs. Zhao Jing Zhao every day, and I will hand it over to her below." ”

Saying that, he sat down, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, everyone felt like they were trampled by ten thousand horses, secretly complaining about him, don't talk nonsense if you don't host, wait for a long time to wait for this sentence.

Those judges seemed to know his temperament, and they all looked at each other and didn't speak, and Zhao Jing, who was pointed out by him, stood up and quietly looked at everyone.

Everyone looked up at her, this is a beautiful woman who looks very young, tall, with a thin waist and long legs, a pair of Danfeng eyes looked at everyone calmly, and said: "Let's start, the first game is two hours, the beginning of the hour, the end of noon, are all flat planks, compared to the players in this time, who portrays the most successful basic spirit patterns, this game eliminated half of the people, choose one of the two, now everyone can start to do it." ”

The competition began, and the contestants could choose their own basic spirit patterns to carve, and the wooden planks were provided by the competition venue, which had already been moved to their respective seats, and the contestants had already seen it.

Chen Ping'an sat down peacefully, took out the wooden board and looked at it, this is a unified material, it is all refined wooden boards, of course, it is not made of ordinary wood.

After touching him carefully with his hand, he knew that this was green sandalwood, the favorite wood used by the first- and second-grade spirit pattern masters, and it was also the wood with the largest output and the most extensive artificial cultivation.

The texture and texture of each board are different, it depends on the spirit pattern master's own observation, he felt it as soon as he touched it, calmly picked up the carving knife, and carved it without the slightest hesitation.

The rustling of carvings sounded, and the audience was silent, and everyone watched the players on the stage carefully. Although I can't see what kind of spiritual patterns they depict, I can see their expressions and demeanors, as well as the skillfulness of their movements.

One, two... Chen Ping'an's carving speed was not slow, as if he usually practiced, and gradually several numbers surpassed him.

He had only begun to carve the third piece, and nearly a hundred people had already completed the third piece, and when he picked up the fourth plank, the companions under the stage were a little anxious.

"Why is peace so slow... He won't be in bad spirits for a few days... What to do, Qiaoyun... ”

Jiang Yurong grabbed the handkerchief in her hand anxiously, fidgeting and not daring to speak loudly, Lei Qiaoyun stared at Chen Ping'an on the stage calmly, and comforted her firmly: "Don't worry, Ping'an won't lose, you have to believe that he can do it." ”

Some other Chen Ping'an, who was usually more concerned, were also anxious, and discussed various possibilities with each other in a low voice, at this time Yao Jisheng spoke, he had been watching carefully, and he didn't want to speak, but after seeing that everyone was uneasy, he had to speak.

"Hold steady, it's okay, look at his expression, like he's not sure?"

"Yes, yes, yes... This guy is so calm, I forgot about it... ”

"Uh-huh... Right, right... ”

Several people hurriedly echoed, and everyone looked suddenly enlightened, Jiang Yurong glanced at Lei Qiaoyun in the calm stands, with some shame.

The fourth piece began to be portrayed by people who failed, most of them were people who portrayed quickly, probably because they were too anxious, and the breath was a little messy, and the breath was chaotic Lingyuan was not smooth, causing the hand holding the pencil knife to be unstable, and it was very easy to make mistakes.

Chen Ping'an calmly picked up the fourth piece, still depicting it unhurriedly, and then the fifth... Finally, when the time came, the bell rang from the stage, and the time came.

"Okay, let's stop, and the results of the re-portrayal will be invalid. ”

Zhao Jing opened his mouth lightly, everyone put down the wooden board and pencil knife in their hands, Chen Ping'an calmly put down the wooden board, and began to clean up his pencil knife and small brush.

He carved a total of seven basic spirit patterns, none of which were invalid, the time was just right, and the last stroke was carved, just when the bell rang.

The staff came to the stage to count everyone's achievements, and the invalid ones were thrown aside, and they were successfully stacked together, and after a while, the results came out, and the highest score for carving was nine pieces, a total of 21 people.

There are one hundred and seventy-three people who have completed eight pieces, most of them have completed seven pieces, and some have completed six pieces, and these people must have been eliminated.

The remaining one hundred and thirty people have to be selected from the remaining people, the rules have long been set, and one hundred and one players who have not failed are on the list, and Chen Ping'an entered the list without any suspense.

The remaining twenty-seven people are selected from the remaining people who have failed, and it depends on their portrayal of the spirit pattern of failure, who has fewer mistakes, and the least twenty-seven people are shortlisted.

The time spent on selecting these twenty-seven people was more than the time spent by the previously selected personnel, and it was indeed time-consuming to check the spirit patterns one by one and pick out the mistakes.

After announcing the list of candidates, we will reconfirm the time of tomorrow's second session, and everyone will step down to be with the people of their union, and then go back to rest together.

"Ping'an, why are you so slow, everyone is in a hurry. ”

On the way, Jiang Yurong asked coquettishly, Lei Qiaoyun sat silently on the side, looking at him gently, he stretched his waist, and his face was full of hippie smiles.

"What's the hurry, I'm paying attention to them, counting who can't win against me, see if the number of people is enough, why am I doing so fast." ”
