Chapter 65 The Drawing of Lots

At this time, in the main hall next to it, Taiyi Zhenren, the head of Wufeng Mountain, was sitting at the top with his eyes closed, while the four peak masters standing at the bottom looked a little worried, looking at the temple gate from time to time, as if waiting for something. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After a short time, an elderly disciple of Changmen Taiqing Peak hurriedly walked in and saluted to the head and peak masters: "Qi Qi Master, senior uncles, the last disciple shortlisted for the Sword Club Competition is Su Qiyu of Chi Yue Peak!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the peak master of Chiyue Peak, Xuanye Dao Chief, who was sitting there, naturally had a trace of smugness on his face, after all, the four disciples who were shortlisted for the Sword Society under his sect had all passed this immortal array and all entered the next round of the Sword Society's competition, which made him, the master, feel somewhat pleased.

And the expressions of the other three peak masters were a little depressed, although the head of the Changtian Peak Peak Xuanying still had a smile on his face, brushed his beard, and looked like he didn't take it to heart, but there was obviously a stiff look in his smile, Yang Qixiang, the peak master of Ziyun Peak, frowned, and wanted to add one more place to Ziyun Peak in the competition of the Sword Society, but the disciples under him were too angry, and he could only sigh helplessly, and the Luoxia Peak Lord Xuanyi Dao Chief, who had sneered at Chi Yue Peak on the golden peak, had the most ugly face, There were also eighteen disciples who were shortlisted for the Sword Club, and after the first round of screening, only four disciples entered the competition of the Sword Club, which really caught him a little unexpected.

At this time, the head of the sect, Taiyi Zhenren, slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the four peak masters below, smiled slightly, and said, "I didn't expect that the Tianmen Immortal Array of this sect would be difficult for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old little girl," Then, he smiled at Xuanye Daoist and said, "Senior Brother Xuanye, you are still a good disciple!" ”

Daoist Xuanye smiled: "That's just the luck of the apprentices!" ”

Taiyi Zhenren nodded, and said to the Nagato disciple: "How about the quota of each peak who can be shortlisted for the next round of sword competition disciples this time?" ”

The Changmen disciple saw the head of the sect asking, and hurriedly said: "Back to the master, among the thirty-two disciples who have passed through the Tianmen Immortal Array, there are twelve in Taiqing Peak, seven in Changtian Peak, five in Ziyun Peak, and four disciples each in Luoxia Peak and Chiyue Peak. ”

Taiyi Zhenren nodded, and then said, "Okay, you go to the side hall to pass on the disciples of the shortlisted sword competition to come in, and let them hold a ceremony of drawing lots and grouping here." ”

The Changmen disciple retreated in response, and as soon as he walked under the eaves of the corridor outside the main hall, he saw a flash of light in front of him, and saw that Xuanyan Daoist was leading a young disciple in white to drop the magic weapon and descend to the open space in front of the main hall, and the Changmen disciple bowed and shouted: "Uncle Xuanyan!" ”

Daoist Xuan Yan nodded slightly and asked, "Have all the disciples who have been shortlisted for the next round of sword competitions arrived?" ”

The Nagato disciple replied: "They have all arrived, and they are resting in the side hall, and the head of the sect asked me to invite them over to hold a lottery ceremony." ”

Xuan Yan said, "Okay, then you can go." ”

The Nagato disciple agreed, and walked towards the side hall next to him.

Daoist Xuanyan took the young disciple in white and walked straight to the main hall, when the two of them stepped into the main hall and saluted the real person in charge and the four peak masters one by one, Daoist Xuanyan said: "Senior brother in charge, the one hundred and six disciples who participated in this sword meeting have all safely left the Tianmen Immortal Array, except for the thirty-two disciples who were shortlisted for the sword competition link, I have already sent someone to escort them back to the Taiqing Palace." ”

Taiyi Zhenren nodded and asked, "The disciples were in the immortal array just now, was there anything abnormal?" ”

Daoist Xuanyan groaned slightly, and said, "Some disciples were trapped by illusions in the formation, and their minds were confused, and when we found out, we immediately rescued them from the immortal array," Speaking of this, Daoist Xuanyan paused, glanced at the young disciple in white beside him, his eyes were full of appreciation, and then said: "In this process, thanks to the help of this disciple of Ziyun Peak, we rescued the trapped disciples together, and some of them were confused by the demon's soul in the formation, and almost went mad, Fortunately, we rescued in time, so there was no big problem! ”

When Daoist Xuanyan spoke, the peak masters of each peak all had anxious expressions on their faces, and they began to worry about what happened to their disciples in the formation, and finally everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that the disciples had all retreated.

After listening to this, Taiyi Zhenren also nodded frequently, turned his gaze, and cast an approving glance at the young disciple in white, and the young disciple in white hurriedly bowed down and said: "The real person in charge, Uncle Xuanyan has won the award, the disciple has just done a little bit, and it is the duty of the senior brother to save this sect." ”

Taiyi Zhenren looked kind and asked, "Then which disciple of Purple Cloud Peak are you?" ”

The white-clothed young disciple raised his head and said, "Yang Yue in the Lower Purple Cloud Peak." ”

Taiyi Zhenren looked at him carefully, and saw that he was graceful and handsome, nodded, and said with a smile: "Oh, I've heard about it for a long time, it turns out that you are the genius who has not been met in a hundred years in this sect, and when I saw him today, it was really worthy of his reputation!" ”

Yang Yue lowered his head slightly and said, "The disciple doesn't dare to be." ”

Taiyi Zhenren glanced at Yang Qixiang, the peak master of Ziyun Peak, who was sitting next to him, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Qixiang, I see that this son of yours is not only talented and intelligent, and his Dao cultivation is very high, but he also has a benevolent heart to help the world, and his potential for cultivating truth in the future is not trivial!" ”

Yang Qixiang, the peak master of Ziyun Peak, heard the words of praise from the head of the sect for his son, he was naturally overjoyed, stood up, and arched his hand: "Thank you for the reputation of the senior brother in charge, the dog is not talented, and please teach the senior brother in charge more!" ”

Although he said very modestly, but he was very proud in his heart, just now when the disciples were still trapped in the Tianmen Immortal Array, as the disciples of the Changmen reported the number of disciples who passed through the Immortal Array one by one, seeing that more than half of the number of people had been delayed, but there was no news of his son, he was a little restless at that time, on weekdays, this kid often managed to be big, why couldn't even pass this mere immortal array today? He was already a little angry in his heart, but the real person in charge and the senior brothers were here, so he had to endure the inconvenience.

Now I know that this kid is lagging behind everyone because he assisted Daoist Xuanyan to rescue the trapped disciples, and at this time, he was favored by the real person in charge, and his heart suddenly took a 180-degree turn, and he was also very pleased with this son.

At this time, the Nagato disciple who led the disciples who were shortlisted for the Sword Club competition was already standing outside the hall and said respectfully: "The head of the sect, the disciples have already brought them over!" ”

After getting the approval of Taiyi Zhenren, the Nagato disciple led everyone into the temple.

At this time, Su Qiyu of Chi Yuefeng was also following the senior brothers into the main hall, and as soon as she stepped into the hall, she saw Yang Yue also standing in the hall at a glance, she was naturally surprised in her heart, and hurriedly approached, pulled Yang Yue's sleeve, and whispered, "Where did you go just now?" It's so bad that I'm worried about you, thinking you're still in this Heavenly Gate Immortal Array! ”

Yang Yue looked around him to make sure that no one else was paying attention to them, so he smiled softly: "Yu'er, you still talk about me, but I am worried about you, I have actually been out of the battle a long time ago, but I can't rest assured of you, so I returned to the formation, and when you are out of danger, I will go out again." ”

Su Qiyu's face flushed slightly when he heard this, and he lowered his head, it was he who had affected him, which made him a lot of distractions in the immortal array, but after thinking about it, he actually ventured into the formation again for me, which showed that he really cared for her in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of sweetness in his heart.

Su Qiyu raised her head and wanted to say something, only to see Yang Yue gesture to her with her hand, at this time, I saw a kind smile on the face of the head Taiyi Zhenren, looking at the thirty-two disciples in the hall who were shortlisted for the sword competition, and said slowly: "Okay, everyone is here!" ”

All the disciples saluted together and said, "I've seen the real person in charge!" ”

Taiyi Zhenren nodded, looked around the hall, and said: "You are all the first disciples to pass through the Tianmen Immortal Array, which means that your cultivation has entered the hall, if you can practice diligently in the future, in the near future, you will definitely be able to make some achievements in cultivation, and in the future, our Wufeng Mountain's thousand-year foundation will depend on you disciples." ”

Speaking of this, Taiyi Zhenren couldn't help but look at the peak masters sitting under him at this moment, these four peak masters are also the top figures in the Wufeng Mountain today, and they are also the most important figures in the realm of Middle-earth cultivation, at this time, they are smiling, and they are also full of expectations at these disciples under the hall, these disciples are all excellent disciples with outstanding qualifications under their disciples, and they are also the most proud disciples of their disciples on weekdays.

Taiyi Zhenren continued: "Wufeng Mountain has been a famous sect in the righteous path for more than 2,000 years since the opening of the sect, and to this day, it is the leader of the righteous path in the Middle Earth cultivation realm, and naturally it is also burdened with the heavy responsibility of eliminating demons and subduing demons for the common people in the world, you are all outstanding disciples in this sect, in the future, the peak masters of our Wufeng Mountain, as well as my position as the head of the sect, are all borne by the people of your disciples, you must remember the responsibility on your shoulders, work hard, and concentrate on the Tao!" ”

After listening to the words of the real person in charge, all the disciples were filled with excitement and excitement on their faces.

Taiyi Zhenren continued: "However, the cultivation of the road, there are difficulties and dangers, a little careless, there will be a regret of abandoning the previous achievements and falling short, so you must be prepared for danger in times of peace, and be unremittingly prepared. After a while, Taiyi Zhenren's tone softened slightly, and then said: "Okay, then the next time will be the time for your thirty-two disciples to really be tested, that is, when it comes to the competition of this sword meeting, first of all, you will be grouped by lottery, and then one by one, the winner will advance, until the first disciple of this sword meeting is decided!" ”

The disciples all looked nervous and excited, and they were all speculating and suspicious in their hearts, wondering who the luck of the first place in the final sword society would befall on their heads?

Taiyi Zhenren said to Xuan Yan, who was standing below him: "Senior Brother Xuanyan, then you can tell them the specific rules of the lottery!" ”

Daoist Xuan Yan nodded, stepped on a few steps, and signaled a bamboo tube on the incense table before the statue of the god arched in the hall, and there was a large handful of bamboo sticks in the red lacquered bamboo tube, and then turned to face the disciples, and said: "All the disciples only need to take one sign in the bamboo tube, and the sign is divided into eight groups according to the Taiji gossip, including Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Gen, Xun, and Dui, and each group has four disciples, so there are a total of thirty-two sticks." ”

Daoist Xuan Yan saw that there were individual disciples whispering in private, but he didn't say anything to stop it, and then said in more detail: "If a disciple draws a dry lot, he will be classified into the cadre group, there are four people in the cadre group, the first two competitions, this is the first round of the sword competition, the winners of the upper and lower two competitions enter the second round of the competition together, after the second round of the competition, only the last person left in each group, at this time, according to the Qian-to-Kun, Kan-to-Li, Zhen vs. Gen, Xun vs. Redeem, these eight people have the third round of duel, The winner of the third round formed the top four of this sword club, which was divided into two duels, that is, the fourth round of the competition, and the winner of these two competitions was the decisive disciple of the fifth round of the sword club, so this sword club will run a total of five rounds, until the final battle after the first disciple of the sword club! ”

After Xuanyan Dao Chang finished speaking, all the disciples were solemn, at this time, there was silence in the main hall, everyone was secretly worried about the fate of their sword club, these five rounds of competition, the opponents were all disciples with advanced cultivation in the sect, and it was not easy to win and advance easily.

Daoist Xuan Yan paused for a moment before asking, "Do you understand, disciples?" ”

Only then did all the disciples respond in unison: "I understand! ”

Xuan Yan Dao said: "These are the rules of this sword competition," After finishing speaking, he turned around and bowed to the head of the real person, the head of the Taiyi real person bowed slightly, and the head of the Xuan Yan Dao walked to the side and stood there.

The head Taiyi Zhenren glanced at the disciples and said, "Okay, then let's ask the disciples to start drawing lots!" ”

All the disciples walked out of the order of the Tianmen Immortal Array, slowly stepped forward, and took a bamboo stick from the bamboo tube of the incense case in front of the statue, and the first one was naturally Ding Qingyi of Changmen Taiqing Peak, followed by Sun Xu Dao of Changtian Peak, after they finished drawing, they retreated to the side, at this time, there will be Changmen deacon disciples standing on the left and right to write down their names on the list prepared in advance, and announce the situation of the group to which they belong to all the disciples present.

The disciples who had already drawn lots gathered in front of the roster, discussing their respective groupings and watching as their names were added to the roster.

At this time, Su Qiyu, who had not yet drawn lots, pulled Yang Yue's sleeve beside her, and said with a smile: "The two of us had better draw into a group, and then I will share the victory and defeat with you, what do you think?" ”

Yang Yue shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If we are in a group, then I will just abstain!" ”

"Why?" Su Qiyu asked with a puzzled expression.

Yang Yue smiled: "Do you remember the first time we met? It was the first time I've been injured since I practiced! ”

Su Qiyu's face was slightly red, that time it wasn't for Yang Yue who blocked the fairy sword that flew over for her, I really didn't know what danger would happen, but this didn't just mean that he had himself in his heart, thinking of this, Su Qiyu lowered her head a little shyly.

Yang Yue said in a soft voice: "Okay, Yu'er, it's unlikely that we will be divided into a group, what I'm worried about is that those brothers who belong to the same division are divided into a group, so next, these disciples who get along day and night on weekdays will really meet in a narrow way!" ”

Su Qiyu also nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing that it was about to be Yang Yue's turn to draw lots, Yang Yue greeted Su Qiyu softly, and then walked forward slowly, along the way, he walked lightly, and his white clothes fluttered, attracting the attention of everyone present.

The disciples of Ziyun Peak stepped forward, and the senior sister Mo Jing, who was the leader, smiled at Yang Yue and said, "Yue'er, senior sister, I am Xun hexagram, fortunately I am not in your group, otherwise the senior sister will really have to compete with you!" ”

Yang Yue smiled bitterly and looked very innocent, and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Mo, am I really so disgusting?" ”

Mo Jing smiled and said, "It's not disgust, it's fear!" ”

Yang Yue couldn't help frowning and shook his head, indicating that he was helpless.

Standing next to Mo Jing were the other three disciples of Ziyun Peak who were shortlisted for this sword competition, namely Chu Nan, Wang Luofei and another disciple, the three of them were very clear about the cultivation of this junior brother Yang Yue, and interjected together on the side: "Yes, we don't want to be in a group with you anyway, hehe!" After saying that, they all grimaced.

Next, the three of them held one hand on their chests and began to pray secretly that they would not be divided into the trigram when they drew lots.

Looking at the ridiculous appearance of these three disciples, Senior Sister Mo Jing couldn't help laughing, but Yang Yue shrugged her shoulders helplessly.

After a while, the thirty-one disciples in front of her had already drawn lots, Su Qiyu was the last one to go up, before she drew lots, she actually knew the results, there seemed to be no suspense, she was the fourth disciple of the Kun hexagram group on the roster, and the remaining three disciples were Zhou Da of Changtian Peak, Chu Nan of Ziyun Peak, and Pang Yuchun of Luoxia Peak, but the only four disciples in the eight groups of the sword competition this time were evenly matched opponents, and the four people in the Kun hexagram group did not have much difference in their respective cultivations.

The other three senior brothers of Chi Yuefeng, the senior brother Zheng Shouyi and the second senior brother Li Yu belong to the group of Xun hexagram and Gen hexagram respectively, and the third senior brother Qi Tai belongs to the Kan hexagram.

The most unexpected thing is that Ding Yue, the eldest disciple of Nagato Taiqing Peak, the popular person who won the championship in this year's Sword Meeting, actually belonged to the same Qiangua as his three Taiqing Peak junior disciples, which made the remaining three Taiqing Peak disciples only shake their heads and sigh.

At this time, the head Taiyi Zhenren stood up from his seat and looked around, and at this moment, all the disciples also stopped talking and looked at this majestic head Zhenren.

Taiyi Zhenren pondered for a moment, and then said: "All the disciples already know their grouping situation, okay, one more thing to announce at the end, in order to motivate the disciples to practice hard and concentrate on the Dao, this sword meeting still has rewards as in the past, but the things that are rewarded are a little different this year!" ”

The eyes of all the disciples in the hall were staring at the real person in charge, and their faces were full of yearning and longing, and even the peak master elders of the peaks of Wufeng Mountain had some strange expressions on their faces, and they didn't know what kind of arrangements the senior brother in charge would make for the rewards for the disciples this time?

Taiyi Zhenren smiled slightly, and continued: "As long as the four disciples who enter the top four places of this Sword Meeting, they can travel down the mountain on their own for three years since the Sword Meeting, so that you can broaden your horizons and appreciate the many differences in the world of cultivation and truth, which is very beneficial to your respective cultivation." ”

All the disciples were a little overjoyed when they heard this, most of these disciples have been practicing in Wufeng Mountain for many years, but they don't know much about things outside the mountain, because Wufeng Mountain has always been strict with the disciples under the sect, and they are afraid that individual disciples will rely on practice to do evil in the world, and they are also worried that the disciples are not high, and they will be devoured by all kinds of monsters and strange images in the world, so it is easy to allow the disciples to go out, and now they have the opportunity to go down the mountain to visit various places and enjoy the famous mountains and rivers, which naturally makes the disciples very happy, not to mention that in the process of traveling around the world, they can learn from others. Absorbing the aura of heaven and earth and gathering the essence of all things is also very helpful for their own cultivation, so this experience of going down the mountain has always been a dream of the disciples of Wufeng Mountain.

Taiyi Zhenren looked at these young disciples, a hint of strangeness flashed in his eyes, he paused, and said, "As for the disciple who ranks first in the final Sword Society-" There was silence in the field, and everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on the head of the real person-"When the time comes, I will personally teach him the three major divine sword formulas of Wufeng Mountain!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was moved, as the people of Wufeng Mountain knew that the highest Dao method of this sect was the three major divine sword tricks, Tai Chi Five Elements Dao method is just to cultivate their own true yuan power, and to use foreign objects, you must have a strong mental power to drive, Wufeng Mountain, these three divine sword formulas, were created by the patriarch Shangqing Zhenren back then, respectively, the Divine Flame Sword Technique, the Shenhuan Sword Recipe and the Shenhuang Sword Technique!

The three major sword tricks of the Five Peaks Mountain are extraordinary, the Divine Flame Sword Trick and the Divine Huan Sword Trick can be used with the help of the Nine Heavens Divine Might, with themselves as the guide, focusing on the fairy sword, invincible, and extremely powerful, but they all need to practice the Tai Chi Five Elements Dao Method to the Hongyuan realm to drive it, as for this Shenhuang Sword Trick is the driving method of the Tianyi Divine Sword of this sect, it naturally has the ability to destroy the heavens and the earth, and the supreme unpredictable divine power, but for hundreds of years, the disciples have never seen this sword trick be triggered.

Now, the real person in charge of the sect actually wants to teach this stunt to the disciple who is the first in this sword meeting, and the thirty-two disciples in the hall have stunned expressions on their faces, and even the peaks and peaks who are sitting at the head of the sect are all complexion, and they all look at each other, and they all see the strange look in each other's eyes.

These peak masters have been cultivating for more than a hundred years, and as the elder level of Wufeng Mountain, they have only comprehended one of the two major sword techniques of the five peaks, the Divine Flame Sword Technique and the Divine Radiance Sword Technique, but the Divine Glory Sword Technique has never been touched.

Because, according to the ancestral teachings of Wufeng Mountain, only the head of the sect can be qualified to use the Tianyi Divine Sword, and the Shenhuang Sword Technique is originally dedicated to the Tianyi Divine Sword, and the peak masters and elders naturally have no way of knowing the Sword Technique.

According to what the real person in charge of the sect said just now, if he passes on the three sword techniques of his sect to a certain disciple, then the person who can have the three sword skills at the same time is likely to be the next candidate for the head of the five peaks!

Looking at everyone's stunned expressions, the real person in charge of the sect had a faint smile on his face, and said slowly to the disciples in the hall: "Okay, today you can go back early to rest, tomorrow morning, the Wufeng Sword Club will start the competition!" ”

The disciples woke up like a dream, and they saluted one after another: "Disciple obeys!" ”
