Chapter 110: Quicksand Tortoise Shell
Three days later.
The sky is high, and the clouds are not left behind.
Except for the Lord of Wanfu and the Soul Master, the rest of the people in Yunling did not know about the discovery of the ancient secret site in Qingcheng. The second session of the Qingyun trial was held as scheduled.
Unlike the first Wenlun held in the Wenqu Hall in the Imperial City of Yunling, the venue for the Wulun was held outside the Imperial City, with a race in quicksand.
Quicksand is a wide and rushing river, connecting the east and west, and is a natural separation between the imperial city of Yunling and the people's residences. The reason why it is called quicksand is because the water of this river is quite peculiar, and the sand and stones in it always flow with the flowing water, making a sound of rowing, so it is named.
In the quicksand, there is an ancient tortoise shell.
The armor of the turtle is said to have been precipitated for 10,000 years, and it has long been weathered and slightly mottled, but it is such old and detached, which shows its atmosphere and mystery in the armor pattern, and it is far away and intimidating.
The tortoise shell is 25 meters long at its longest point and 17 meters wide at its widest point, which can accommodate five or six hundred people to worship the gods at the same time, and it will not feel crowded.
The shell of this huge turtle suddenly protrudes in the quicksand, as if there is a turtle, which has been silent in this quicksand for thousands of years and has not woken up.
The turtle shell was first used for sacrifice in the Wan Dynasty, and after the construction of a more concentrated altar, this turtle shell became a place for Qingyun to test martial arts.
As far as the eye can see, quicksand rushes underneath it, and the pale waves make it seem that there are clouds on top of the tortoiseshell.
When the waves are surging, there seems to be a giant dragon churning under it, lying and condensing, floating on the water, shimmering by the sun, ten thousand years and strong, stable as a rock.
When Minsa and the other fifteen contestants who were able to enter the second martial arts contest reached the shore of the quicksand and saw the armor of the divine tortoise, they all had to be shaken. Especially a few young people from the countryside have never seen such a divine momentum, and the beating in their hearts is unconsciously accelerated.
……
Shallow waves shine in the wild, and the sky is faintly hidden.
The Lord and the judges of the Lingxiao Pavilion sat in the front row on the side of the quicksand, with a curtain covering the sun, looking at the armor of the Divine Turtle, the Lord was entangled in the matter of the ancient secret site of Qingcheng in his heart, I don't know if this Divine Turtle has anything to do with the alien race or beasts that invaded the human race back then, is it one of those beasts?
Does the beast herd already know how to fight, or is there another race with advanced intelligence that leads the way and gives orders? Unknown......
There were also multiple seats behind the Lord and the judges who could be watched by the dignitaries of the Imperial City.
The second game of this Qingyun test is to meet friends with martial arts, which requires many people to watch together, and the final winner is more fair. Therefore, it is not strictly forbidden like the first article, and too many outsiders are not allowed to watch it.
The east bank of this quicksand is the place where the people in the Imperial City of Yunling watch the battle.
The west bank of the quicksand is the viewing area for the common people of Yunling. Along the quicksand along the west bank, there were already people standing densely packed on the banks of the river.
They not only wanted to see the young talents fighting on the tortoise shells, but also wanted to see the heroic majesty of the lord and the splendor of the people of the Imperial City.
Today, in order to be free in the competition, Minza is dressed a little more heroically, with towering braids, tightly tied belt and wristband, and an upright stiff collar.
Still recounting the appearance of Minsa, the first thing I thought of when I was in Qingcheng, the first time I saw her, when the little devil was a complete man.
At that time, I was rarely clumsy, and I thought why this young man could be born so good-looking, handsome like a round jasper, clear and flawless, with red lips and white teeth, and bright eyes.
Her eyes are comparable to the clarity of the Eye of the Spring, and her gaze is comparable to the brightness of the Rising Sun. She is the brightest woman in this world.
Lord Wanfu looked at Mingsa's heroic posture, and he was also happy in his heart, a little heroic, three points of brightness, this feeling was too similar to the feeling given to him by the little girl in Yanzhou wearing a veil at the Lingxi Festival that year, at that moment, Wanfu was already able to determine that Mingsa was the little woman.
……
To meet friends with martial arts, the rules of the competition are, point to the end, do not hurt people.
The armor of the turtle used for sacrifice in ancient times was forbidden to be bloody.
Hundreds of years ago, the people of the Wan Dynasty slaughtered cattle and sheep to worship the gods on this tortoise shell, and the blood stains of the sacrifice were stained on the tortoise shell, and the quicksand surged up thousands of waves, which was uneven for a long time.
Later, there was a special altar, and the armor of the turtle, which could stir up earth-shattering waves, never saw blood again.
Therefore, in this competition, no one must be hurt, and there will be no blood.
Each contestant's weapon, if it is a sharp sword, should be replaced with wood. The tip of each weapon is coated with bright green dye.
Point to point, really point to point.
Because as long as it is touched by the opponent's weapon, and the robe is stained with green dye, it is considered a failure.
In addition to losing, if someone falls off the tortoise shell halfway and falls into the quicksand water, it is also considered to admit defeat.
……
The sixteen existing people were judged to be divided into four groups.
The members of the group compete in pairs to determine the winner, and then compete, and finally only one winner is left in each group.
However, the eight contestants who won the first game, regardless of the ranking of martial arts, can enter the third ultimate fantasy world and compete for the final winner.
The reason why it will be divided into four groups is because the judges have arranged the four strongest people in advance, for the fairness of the game, so that the strongest people will not meet in pairs in the first game, so each of the four strongest people will be assigned one as the team leader.
If there is no accident, these four people are the four who won the final four groups after the competition, and then they will face each other in pairs until the only winner is decided, winning the first place in martial arts.
Red Smoke, without a doubt, is the most favored in the first group.
Chiyan, who can practice martial arts at the age of seven, is a leader in both swords, fists and feet, and light skills, especially with a whip, it is said that her whip method is superb, completely beyond the skills of her peers, maybe these soldiers here, whether it is still Shu or Gu Ting, are not her opponents with whips.
Therefore, Chiyan is the hottest first candidate for martial arts this time.
Pei Xing, of course, was not the one who was regarded as a seed player, because no one knew his details except for the Venerable Lord and the Soul Master, so he was placed in the second group, led by an eighteen-year-old woman named Bai Xiang.
Minsa, undeniable, and certainly not a favored person.
The judges knew that her martial arts were mediocre, and whether she could win one game and successfully enter the third ultimate illusion was a question, and Minsa himself thought so.
So Minsa was divided into the fourth group, led by a thin and beautiful man named Yin Chen, standing next to three tall men, Minsa looked like a child who needed someone to protect.
Minsa glanced at Yin Chen, who was standing beside her, and saw that he was backhanding his sword, and his confident demeanor was leisurely, so he prayed in his heart, don't draw the first game to fight him, otherwise he will really stop here and miss the next ultimate game.
When the waiters announced the list of the first round of two-on-two duels, Minsa held his breath, and when he heard that the person who was fighting against her was not Yin Chen, but a person named Xiong Gang, Minsa's heart was slightly relieved.
It seems that the gods are not kind to me, and I am really lucky.
But it takes luck to become a generation of overlords, Minsa thought about it, and the corners of his mouth curled up proudly. (To be continued.) )
