Chapter XII

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the sword competition.

According to the usual practice, the five strongest disciples were selected by each of the four major cabinets in the sword competition, and these twenty disciples drew lots to compete in pairs to determine the final ranking. The higher the ranking, the more immortal materials you can get as a reward, and you may even get the sword technique passed down by the head of the family. Over the past thousand years, the Heavenly Sword Sect has produced a total of seven Yuan Dan cultivators or above, including the current head Yuying Zhenren, these seven powers have all won the first place in the sword competition that year.

Therefore, for the more than 100 disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Sword Contest Conference can be said to be the most important event in recent years, if you can achieve a good ranking in the Sword Contest Conference, not to mention the rewards of those immortal materials, you can also stand out in the entire cultivation realm.

Since the Heavenly Sword Sect stipulates that only disciples over the age of sixteen are eligible to participate in the sword competition, for young disciples like the eldest grandson Jun and Yi Xichen, this is the first time they have participated in the sword competition, and they attach more importance to it.

The internal selection of each pavilion is carried out very quickly, although only five of the best winners can be selected among dozens or hundreds of disciples, but the disciples of each pavilion practice together on weekdays and participate in various trials together, and the elders and disciples themselves know in their hearts who are strong and who are weak, so in fact, it is not the whole pavilion disciples who participate in the competition, but the elders first designate ten strong people, and after these ten people compete, the strongest five people are left to represent the pavilion to participate in the sword competition.

In just two days, the elders of each pavilion selected the five disciples under their own names to participate in the conference, and sent the list of five people to the Shennong Hall in the afternoon for confirmation by the head of the house.

There is no doubt that the eldest grandson Jun and Yi Xichen are on the top five people in the Medicine Pavilion. The medicine is not poisonous and sent the list to the Shennong Palace, and they were waiting outside the Shennong Palace. According to the rules of previous years, after Yuying Zhenren confirmed the list, the selected disciples would draw lots to determine the opponents for tomorrow's competition.

After noon, Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Jun set off for Shennong Temple. They had been preparing for days, their swords had been strengthened, and their clothes had been renewed. The eldest grandson Jun is very calm, in his memory, it is nothing compared to the sword conference, and he has seen all the bigger scenes. But for Yi Xichen, this is the biggest competition he has participated in, so he has always maintained a state of excitement.

"Zijun, who do you say the other three pavilions will choose? Senior Brother Lu should be on the list. ”

"Sword Refining Pavilion, Lu Ziyao, Xiao Kui, Wang Qingqiao, Jincheng, Yue Xiaorou; Shoujian Pavilion, Gongsun Di, Bian Liang, Xia Fangshu, Qiu Kui, Huang Tianbai; Xiujian Pavilion, Shi Xi, Wu Mo, Zhao Tang, Zhao Qing, Yang Qianshou. ”

Yi Xichen asked casually, just wanting to hear which of the disciples of the other three pavilions he thought were more powerful, but he didn't expect that the eldest grandson Jun would directly report the names of the other fifteen people, and he couldn't help but be very surprised.

The Sword Contest was the first time for all the young disciples that they had the opportunity to compete with other Cabinet disciples. Prior to this, they had almost only heard of the disciples of the other cabinets and had no ability to see him, or had occasional contact, just like all the disciples knew that the eldest grandson Jun was the Heavenly Spirit Root, but no one knew how powerful he was, and no one knew if he had never fought before, so the disciples of the Sword Refining Pavilion dared to provoke him lightly because he was a disciple of the Medicine Pavilion.

Yi Xichen said: "Have you already read the list?" ”

The eldest grandson shook his head. Because he has eight more years of memory, he has participated in the sword competition, so he has some impressions. However, it is likely that these memories are just his delusions.

Yi Xichen looked at his face, and he roughly understood what was going on, but he didn't say anything.

Soon, they arrived at the Shennong Temple.

At the bottom of the Shennong Temple chronology, a list of twenty people has been posted. All the selected disciples were waiting outside the hall, waiting for the next draw.

The two of them went to see the list first. Sword Refining Pavilion: Lu Ziyao, Xiao Kui, Wang Qingqiao, Jincheng, Yue Xiaorou......

Yi Xichen was taken aback, and looked back at the eldest grandson, who was also thoughtful.

Yi Xichen immediately looked down again, guarding the Sword Pavilion...... Sword Repair Pavilion...... The names of the fifteen people in the other three pavilions are exactly what the eldest grandson Jun Fangcai said!

Yi Xichen only felt incredible, but the eldest grandson's mood was very complicated.

When the truth is clear, it is not difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake. However, when truth and falsehood are mixed together, it is difficult to distinguish between the smartest people in the world. The golden egg beats the silver goose written in roughly accordance with the original development of the same people.,The eldest grandson Jun recalls the past.,Some things are absurd and ridiculous.,Some things are taken for granted.,It's hard for him to believe that all qiē are fake.,But the facts also clearly show that it's impossible to be true.。

Before seeing the list, the eldest grandson Jun hoped that reality would coincide with his memory, so that he would not be too absurd; But I hope that reality can continue to run counter to memory, and since I am wrong, I simply deny it all and start over, which is both true and false, making people too entangled. So now that he found out that the list was matched, he was both happy and annoyed.

"You deceive people too much!"

"It's ridiculous, what we ask for is nothing more than justice, why do we deceive people?"

The eldest grandson Jun and Yi Xichen were immersed in the surprise that the list matched, and did not notice the situation of the disciples. Hearing that everyone was arguing, they looked back and found that there were more than twenty disciples waiting on the list.

The uniforms of the disciples of different cabinet disciples were different, so although Yi Xichen didn't fully recognize them, just looking at the robes, he found that there were only five people from their Medicine Pavilion and Sword Cultivation Pavilion, while the Sword Refining Pavilion and Sword Guarding Pavilion were ten and eight respectively.

The eldest grandson Jun and Yi Xichen glanced at each other, put aside the list first, and walked over.

"Senior Brother Lu, what happened? Why are there so many people in your Sword Refining Pavilion? Yi Xichen asked.

Lu Ziyao looked guilty, and sighed repeatedly: "This ...... I can't put it into words. ”

I saw the disciples of the Medicine Pavilion and the Sword Cultivation Pavilion standing on one side, and the disciples of the Sword Refining Pavilion and the Sword Guarding Pavilion standing on the side, the two sides were tense and unable to hold each other. The disciples of the Sword Refining Pavilion and the Sword Guarding Pavilion were originally highly cultivated, and there were many disciples who came, and under the confrontation, they obviously had the upper hand in the momentum, and the disciples who already had the Medicine Pavilion couldn't help but cry.

After listening to their argument for a while, coupled with Lu Ziyao's explanation, the eldest grandson Jun and Yi Xichen understood the current situation. It turned out that after the four elders selected the five strongest disciples of the Pavilion according to the practice of previous years, the disciples of the Sword Refining Pavilion and the Sword Guarding Pavilion thought that the average number of places in the four major pavilions was not fair, and the disciples of the Sword Refining Pavilion and the Sword Guarding Pavilion were even better, so the number of places should be increased, or the places of the Sword Cultivation Pavilion and the Medicine Pavilion should be reduced.

You must know that as long as you are qualified to participate in the sword competition, it is equivalent to being recognized as the strongest twenty disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, even if you lose every game in the next and only get the twentieth place, you can also get a lot of spirit stones and immortal materials. So these 20 places are precious. For the disciples of the Sword Refining Pavilion, who prided themselves on being the pride of the heavens, it was simply intolerable to be treated equally with the disciples of the Medicine Pavilion.

The two sides were arguing fiercely, and several elders came out of the Shennong Temple, and someone shouted: "The head is here!" ”

The disciples hurriedly retreated and saluted the head and the four elders, and the eldest grandson Jun and Yi Xichen also returned to the team of the Medicine Pavilion.

Yuying Zhenren, the head of the Heavenly Sword Gate, has a Chinese face and two compact thick eyebrows, and is a strict and stubborn person. He doesn't accept disciples, he is obsessed with swordsmanship, and he usually only cares about his own cultivation, and only when something big happens in the sect, he comes out to preside over the situation. Today's matter was initiated by the disciples of the two major pavilions, and Qiu Jian, the elder of the Sword Refining Pavilion, and Lin Zhen, the elder of the Sword Guarding Pavilion, favored their own disciples or conveyed the voices of their disciples, at least their approach was not to suppress this matter, but to connive at the disciples to come to the Shennong Hall to build momentum, and reported the situation to Yuying Zhenren.

Yuying Zhenren's eyes were blazing, and she glanced at the group of disciples standing on the sword training floor: "I have heard about the matter, Lu Ziyao, Gongsun Di, do you think my Heavenly Sword Sect's regulations on the sword competition conference are unreasonable?" He ordered the two senior disciples of the Sword Refining Pavilion and the Sword Guarding Pavilion to ask them to represent the opinions of all the disciples.

Lu Ziyao looked embarrassed and did not say anything. Although he also admitted that the strength of the disciples of the Sword Refining Pavilion was undoubtedly stronger than the other three major pavilions, the rules were the rules, and there was a reason, how could they be changed arbitrarily?

Gongsun Di took a firm position: "Yes, the master, we think this matter is unfair, and we hope that the head of the house will call the shots and change the regulations." ”

Sun Xiaoqian, a disciple of the Medicine Pavilion who was already crying, pulled Yi Xichen's sleeve and asked for help: "Senior Brother Yi, what should I do?" ”

In the Medicine Pavilion, the most profound cultivation is undoubtedly the eldest grandson Jun, but he is not a person who likes to argue with others. And the person who can speak the Tao the most is Yi Xichen, and the poor disciples of the Medicine Pavilion can only hope that Yi Xichen can win back a city for them.

Yi Xichen sneered. Yuying Zhenren's tone sounded like he was asking the disciples who were making trouble, but when he appeared here, his position was already obvious. If he really thinks that the rules of the door cannot be changed, then he can dismiss a few elders in the Shennong Hall and let them teach their disciples on their own. And the fact that he personally came out to ask questions shows that changing the rules is not unacceptable.

The medicine is not poisonous, he took a step forward, and scolded with a white face: "Gongsun Di, you!" ”

Yuying Zhenren raised his hand to stop him: "There is no need for a few elders to fight, I have heard your respective statements in the hall just now, and now I want to hear what the disciples have to say." ”

As soon as these words came out, they further encouraged the disciples of the Sword Refining Pavilion and the Sword Guarding Pavilion. Although Lu Ziyao didn't say anything, Xiao Kui and the others scrambled to speak a word.

Xiao Kui viciously kicked at the eldest grandson Jun and Yi Xichen, and took a step forward and said: "Your lord, the rules of the sword competition conference have long been outdated, five disciples are selected by each of the four major pavilions, and the twenty people selected represent the strongest twenty among the disciples of our Heavenly Sword Sect, but the strength of the four pavilions is different, how can the selection be evenly divided?" ”

"Senior Brother Xiao is right." Bian Liangdao of the Sword Guarding Pavilion, "Obtaining the qualification to participate in the Sword Competition is already a special honor, and it is no longer the Four Great Pavilions, but our entire Heavenly Sword Gate. In the future, if our Heavenly Sword Sect compares swords with other sects, and makes other sects think that the twenty people in front of my Heavenly Sword Sect are just like this, wouldn't it be an insult to the reputation of my Heavenly Sword Sect! ”

The disciples of the two pavilions reconsidered one after another.

And the disciples of the Sword Cultivation Pavilion and the Medicine Pavilion could only say over and over again that the rules were like this, compared to the fact that Xiao Kui and the others were rising to the honor of the sect at every turn, it was obviously not possible to stand still.

This incident did not happen in the impression of the eldest grandson. The same author has a choice of the original plot.,All plots that are useless to promote the feelings of the main cp have all been deleted.。 At the moment, he looked at the arrogant appearance of the dozen or so disciples, sneered in his heart, and waited to draw his sword - the eldest grandson Jun, who was arrogant and handsome, was in charge of all kinds of disobedience, since he wanted to talk about strength, then he would talk about strength. Whether it is Lu Ziyao or Gongsun Di, he doesn't pay attention to it at all.

At this time, Yi Xichen held his hand. The eldest grandson looked at him puzzled, and Yi Xichen shook his head at him.

The strength of the eldest grandson Jun, Yi Xichen knows best, he believes that it is not difficult for the eldest grandson Jun to win the championship in the sword competition, but at this time, it is related to the entire medicine pavilion, and it is not appropriate for the eldest grandson Jun to come forward.

So Yi Xichen took a step forward, cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask your senior brothers, since you senior brothers think that the rules are unreasonable, what is the basis for Fenglian Xiaozu to set up such a rule back then and use it for thousands of years?" ”
