0254. Before the competition

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the early morning, Wudang Mountain is shrouded in a cloud of smoke, and the clouds and dreams above and below the mountain are floating, which is a fairyland on earth.

The cold air in the mountains is close to the trousers, the branches of the pine trees are covered with frost flowers, the ground of the bluestone slabs is cold and biting, and the Wudang Mountain in March is still cold and tight.

Taiji Square is located in the center of the Wudang faction, the south is the outer courtyard, and the outer courtyard of the canteen, the study hall, the martial arts hall, the lecture hall, the north is the inner courtyard and supporting places, the trial room, the Dan room, the west is the elder's house, the Tibetan scripture pavilion, the elite pavilion, the east is the Taiji Palace, Zixiao Palace, the head of the line, Zhang Sanfeng mausoleum.

On the rivers and lakes, it is known as "Shaolin in the north, Wudang in the south", but now there are not many disciples of the Wudang faction, there are more than 200 outer disciples, and there are even fewer inner disciples, only 36, as for the elite disciples, there are 9 in total.

Generally speaking, only those under the age of twenty-five who have congenital cultivation or above can enter the inner door; Only those under the age of forty-five who have cultivated more than three flowers can become elite disciples. Of course, the disciples accepted by the heads and elders can directly become elite disciples.

However, in order to form a cultivation atmosphere in which you chase after me, let the inner and elite disciples feel the pressure, and let the outer disciples have the motivation to struggle, the Wudang faction formulated the carp jumping dragon gate activity a hundred years ago.

Today, the annual carp jumping dragon gate event is finally starting again!

At seven o'clock in the morning, Tai Chi Square was already crowded, whether it was watching the battle or participating in the battle, they all had breakfast early and came to the square to wait, and they were either gathered in twos and threes to look at the list of contestants in the gallery and point out. Or groups of three or five are talking about the battle after eight o'clock, and asking the old birds for their past experience.

Taiji Square is about three or four thousand square meters, in the middle stands a white marble sculpture of Zhang Sanfeng more than seven meters high, under the sculpture there is a fountain of nine dragons spitting pearls surrounded by a circle, the fountain spews out five or six meters high water column, and a piece of colorful water droplets are sprinkled in the morning mist.

The square is surrounded by green trees, and the tall trees cover the sky, like green canopies spread over the square. There is a 10-meter gallery on the west side of the square, which is used to display the calligraphy and painting works of the disciples on weekdays, but today it is used to post the list of participants and the detailed rules of the competition.

A total of 53 disciples signed up to participate in the carp jumping dragon gate activity, of which 40 ascetic disciples signed up to challenge the outer disciples. There are 10 outer disciples who have signed up to challenge the inner disciples, and three inner disciples have signed up to challenge the elite disciples. Either way, if you fail the challenge, you will be disqualified from participating in the carp jumping gantry for the next five years.

It stands to reason that a person can only sign up for one competition, let alone skip the level to register, but this year there is an exception, that is, Zhang Lan. He signed up for three competitions at the same time: Outer Gate, Inner Gate, and Elite!

"Damn, an ascetic disciple actually signed up for the challenge of the outer gate, the inner door, and the elite disciple at the same time. I'm not dazzled, am I? A thin monkey ascetic disciple in the gallery opened his big sunken eyes and pointed to three places in the gallery with the name of "Zhang Lan" written on them. His skeptical gaze. Looking at the same door on the left and right, he seemed to ask them if this was unscientific?

"Ahh Three Zhang Lan, oh? Is it written wrongly, or is it the same person? If it's the same person, it's a rare occurrence in a hundred years! "One humane.

"It's definitely the same person, there is no one named Zhang Lan among the inner disciples and elite disciples at all!" An inner disciple who was over the age of sixteen was in the air.

Several other inner disciples also said that there was no such person as Zhang Lan in the inner gate.

"Damn, that means this Zhang Lan is the same person? Does he want the carp to jump over the dragon gate and jump three times in a row? Who does he think he is? Is it Senior Sister Lan Ruoxi? One person said dismissively.

"No way. The head said that Senior Sister Lan was a rare genius in the Wudang Sect for a hundred years, otherwise it would be impossible for Uncle Fang to accept her as an apprentice. An inner disciple said with an envious look, then Lan Ruoxi was also the goddess in his mind.

"Oh, Deacon Wu is here, let's ask him later?" An outer disciple pointed to the Wubao Dao that came not far away.

As a deacon of the outer gate, Wu Bao is in charge of the outer disciples and ascetic disciples, although his status is not high. But the rights are not small. The ascetic disciples and outer disciples were still in awe when they saw him.

Wu Bao deliberately put on the costume of the deacon of the outer gate today, although it is also a dark green Tai Chi robe, but the cuffs are inlaid with a golden corner, and the four small green characters of "Deacon of the outer gate" are written on it.

The disciples who watched the list saw Deacon Wu striding over. They all pushed away like a tide, made way for a way, and shouted affectionately, "Good Deacon Wu!" ”

"Hmm!" Deacon Wu snorted more majestically, but he also had a bit of official authority.

"Deacon Wu, this person named Zhang Lan is the same person, how can there be three people with the same name? Isn't it wrong? A bold inner disciple asked Wu Bao.

Deacon Wu's eyes swept away, and when he saw that it was the inner disciple who was asking, he squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Hehe, of course it's alone!" As for why he can sign up for three things by himself, whether he is crazy or not, you will know later. ”

Wu Zhi's accident was mysterious, and he said in his heart: "Hehe, grandma's, today Lao Tzu can finally grow a face, right?" ”

Thinking of the scene when Zhang Lan asked him to sign up the day before yesterday, Wu Bao was excited: "Nima, a person with natural divine power, will definitely surprise people, right?" At least it's not worse than Zhang Yufeng back then, right? ”

In fact, when Zhang Lan proposed that one person sign up for three places, Wu Bao also objected, but when he easily broke a sword and revealed his petrification ability, Wu Bao was shocked.

So, Wu Bao excitedly reported the situation to the Council of Elders and the head of the family, which aroused their great attention. After discussing with the Council of Elders, the head of the sect said that it could be specially handled, and even Lan Ruoxi, the closed disciple of the Scattered Immortal Fang Protector, became interested in Zhang Lan after hearing this, and said that he would go to watch it specially.

Lan Ruoxi has always been above the top, except for the nine elite disciples, she doesn't pay attention to the other disciples at all. This time, I heard that a strange character named Zhang Lan came, and she was interested. The "carp triple jump" record is her own, and she doesn't believe that someone is going to break her record so soon?

Seeing Deacon Wu smiling so mysteriously, everyone became even more curious about this Zhang Lan, whispering one by one, looking around for Zhang Lan's face.

"Don't look for it, Zhang Lan told me before that he had a little trouble at home, and after about eight o'clock, he was the last contestant of the penance disciples, and he might have come late." After Wu Bao glanced at the people, he found that several people came to the rostrum one after another, and even the head of the house was present in person, he pouted and said: "If you don't hurry up, everyone is in place, the head is here!" ”

The disciples scattered like birds and beasts, scattered from the gallery, and quickly rushed to the seats under the canopy in the center of the square, found their seats, and sat down.

"Wow, look, the nine elite disciples are here!" One pointed to the elite disciple seating area in the front row.

Everyone couldn't help but look up, and found that the eldest disciple Zhang Yufeng was dressed in brand-new elite disciple clothes, and he came in high spirits, followed by the other eight elite disciples.

ps: Tomorrow the update will be resumed, and the previous broken update will be slowly made up.
