Chapter 251: Gambling (I)
Time flies, and this day is the day for Luo Yu to participate in Fubi.
The number of participants in the foundation building period is very large, there are thousands of people, which is several times that of Danbi, because it is easier to get started than alchemy, and the initial investment is small, which causes five out of ten low-level monks to choose the skill of talisman making, especially for casual cultivation.
The morning is the preliminary competition, each person has a room, as long as you can draw any kind of second-order middle-grade talisman, even if you can pass guò, even so, less than one-tenth of the ultimatum guò.
There was no suspense, Luo Yu, Wang Ru and Yuan Zheng all passed the preliminary round, and there were less than 100 remaining contestants at this time.
In the afternoon, it was a semi-final, and it was also a competition on the tower.
Talisman making emphasizes a calm state of mind, not disturbed by external objects, dedicated to making a talisman, and devoting oneself to it, so that the talisman maker generally chooses a remote and uninhabited place, arranging the formation, and making the talisman with peace of mind, and today these contestants have to stand in front of the crowd to make talismans, and the noise around them is endless, which is a test for the talisman master in itself.
The tower has nine floors and rises into the sky.
Luo Yu stood on the eighth floor, and there were more than a dozen people on the upper floor, who were the ones who ranked ahead of her in the preliminary round.
She casually drew a second-order top-grade flame explosion talisman in the morning, and it was actually ranked in the top twenty, which was really incredible.
Luo Yu looked up at the competitors on the previous floor, and happened to meet a pair of eyes as deep as the starry sky.
"Senior Brother Zhiyuan," Luo Yu was surprised, "It turns out that you can not only tell fortunes, but also draw talismans!" ”
"Senior Sister Huang. Fu is the language of the Heavenly Dao, and when I deduce the number of days, I must have some understanding of Fu. "Zhiyuan is dressed in a black robe. A faint smile.
"Oh??????" Luo Yu nodded, a little frustrated in his heart, drawing talismans was just his sideline, and it was actually better than her main business, which was really shocking.
Seeing that she was a little frustrated, Zhiyuan thought for a while before he spoke to comfort: "Senior sister don't be discouraged. I'm not up to the level of my junior sister at this age, and you'll soon surpass me??????"
Jiwon didn't finish his words. It was interrupted by the sound of a bell, followed by a loud voice.
"In this competition, the score is scored from two aspects: the grade and quantity of the drawing symbols, and the one with the highest score wins. The details are as follows. The second-order middle grade below the talisman is unqualified, the second-order medium grade is one point, the second-order upper grade is five points, the second-order best grade is ten points, and the third-order lower grade is twenty points. Remember, you only have ten blank pieces of rune paper, and you must use the rune paper that is distributed on the spot, and the rune pens and cinnabar are free and limited to one stick of incense. You should think carefully about what kind of talisman to draw. ”
As soon as the voice fell, there was a lot of discussion in the seat. How have the rules changed?
One person asked in a loud voice: "May I ask the seniors, why is there no rating for the third-order mid-grade talisman?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter and ridiculed: "It's just the foundation building period, how can anyone cross and draw a third-order mid-grade talisman, it's really a joke!" ”
On the rostrum. The ten judges all showed amused expressions, and one replied, "Third-order middle grade." As long as you draw one, it will be directly rated as the leader, so why do you need to score? ”
Actually, Luo Yu didn't think this question was funny, if she built the foundation of the Great Perfection, she might really be able to draw a third-order mid-grade talisman, but unfortunately she was only in the middle stage of foundation building now.
A group of waiters held blank rune paper and pen and ink on the tower and distributed them to the tables of the contestants, Luo Yu nodded in thanks, and took out the rune pen and cinnabar.
"Light the incense, let's go!"
At the sound of an order, the contestants spread out the rune paper one after another, some immediately held a pen to draw the talisman, and some were pranayama, and Luo Yu was one of them.
One incense injection was enough time for her to draw ten talismans, and those who immediately put pen to paper felt that the time was not enough, but the results were often unsatisfactory, and many people failed to draw the first talisman and turned into ashes.
This scene made the referees on the stage shake their heads, and so did Wang Qi, who was invited to be the referee.
"Wang Daoyou, the disciples of your sect are calm, but now half an hour has passed, but they still haven't started writing." An old man with a white beard tilted his head and smiled at Wang Qi on the side.
Wang Qi glanced at Luo Yu, who had not moved at all, a smile appeared in his eyes, and said, "If anyone in my Tianxuan Sect is expected to win the championship, I am afraid that it will fall on this girl." ”
"Hahaha-" The white-bearded old man laughed, "Wang Daoyou is joking, that girl is only twenty years old, and her cultivation is not in the middle stage of foundation building, and she wants to win the first place among the monks in the late stage of foundation building who have been immersed in the path for decades, I am afraid that it is a fool's dream." Of course, this girl must be talented to participate in the retest, but she is too young, and when she competes next time, she should be able to win the first place. ”
Wang Qi seemed to smile: "The next competition will be in a hundred years, not to mention the foundation building group competition, even the Jindan group competition, I'm afraid she won't participate." ”
"Why is that?" The white-bearded old man was stunned.
"Eighteen-year-old in the middle of foundation building, a hundred years later, she is not busy advancing to Yuanying, she is already a Yuanying monk." Wang Qi's eyes were full of pride, this girl's prospects were much better than his daughter Wang Ru and his apprentice!
"That's just as well!" The white-bearded old man sighed, "Your sect is really talented??????
When the referee on the rostrum was commenting on the participating disciples, Luo Yu was trying to eliminate the distractions in his heart.
Recently, she was locked in the room and practiced talisman skills hard, and finally broke through to the third-order lower grade yesterday, but her skills were very unstable, and nine out of ten would fail.
But if she wants to squeeze into the top ten, she is afraid that it will be difficult to succeed in drawing only second-order top-grade runes, so she decided to fight and draw third-order runes for all ten runes.
Actually, even if she fails, it's nothing, after all, she doesn't need to be able to make a name for herself in this way, so relax! Luo Yu kept decompressing herself.
Her heart became more and more relaxed, more and more quiet, the noisy sounds around her gradually faded away, and she saw a line slowly outlined, forming a mysterious pattern, this is the rune of the Flame Burst Talisman!
On the rostrum, Wang Qi pinched a sweat for Luo Yu, because she hadn't started to write before the incense was half burned.
The other referees looked at Wang Qi one after another, with ridicule in their eyes, they didn't do anything in the past half a pillar of incense, and said that they had the hope of winning the championship, isn't it a joke?
"Wang Daoyou, isn't this disciple too nervous to lift the pen?" A middle-aged male cultivator said with a smile, he was an elder of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, and he had a kind of subconscious rejection of the sect's disciples, "Such a disciple who is not psychologically good, let alone winning the championship, is impossible to squeeze into the top ten." ”
When Wang Qi heard this, he frowned and said, "There is still time for half a pillar of incense, and before the end, anything may change." ”
Glancing at the contestants on the tower, they were either drawing talismans or pranayama preparing to draw the next talisman.
Drawing a rune is a rune that seals the spiritual power of oneself and the blood of demon beasts in zài rune paper, and when released, it resonates with the aura of heaven and earth.
Of course, this is only a primary talisman, and all they have in their hands now are this kind of primary talisman, so after drawing a talisman, they often have to breathe and restore their spiritual power, so that they have enough spiritual power to ensure that the next talisman is successfully drawn, and it is basically impossible to draw a talisman continuously, unless the level of the talisman is relatively low.
The middle-aged male cultivator was very confident: "Since Wang Daoyou said so, if we don't bet on her, we don't bet on her winning the championship, just bet on whether she can enter the top ten," he glanced at Wang Qi with squinted eyes, "Do you dare to bet?" ”
"Brother Zhu, aren't you obviously bullying people?" The white-haired old man persuaded, "In such a short time, she can't finish drawing ten rune papers, how can she squeeze into the top ten?" ”
"Yes, it's clear that you lost the gambling fight, how could Wang Daoyou gamble with you?" Another person spoke, but how the words sounded like a run.
"Bet, why don't you bet!" Wang Qi smiled coldly, if he said that he was betting on Luo Yu to win the championship, he really muttered a little, after all, her cultivation was there, but if she entered the top ten, it was still nine out of ten.
Two years ago, she was able to draw a second-order top-grade rune, and there was only a line away from the second-order top, so she would definitely be able to draw a second-order top-grade rune now, as long as she guaranteed that *Zhang Rune was successfully drawn, she would definitely be able to squeeze into the top ten.
If Luo Yu knew about Wang Zhenren's analysis, she would definitely not embarrass herself, and directly drew ten second-order top-grade talismans. Because she doesn't know that three or five out of ten talismans drawn by others have failed, but she is 100% successful, how can she not enter the top ten? After all, the number of people who draw third-order talismans across the level is only five fingers, and the success rate must also be considered.
On the rostrum, you and I said a word, and they all participated in the gambling fight and took out the things of the gambling fight, and among the ten people, only Wang Qi and one Zhong Zhenren bet on Luo Yu to win.
Zhong Zhenren is an elder of Qianfu Gate, and he is good friends with Wang Qi, so it is naturally difficult to dismantle his old friend's platform at this time, so he reluctantly took out a high-grade talisman pen as a thing for gambling and fighting.
As soon as the matter of the gambling fight was settled, the incense spoon had already burned two-thirds, Wang Qi swept the stage, and finally saw Luo Yu move, he was very relieved.
Luo Yu lifted the talisman pen, stained with cinnabar, carried the spirit in the pen, the pen flew away, the clouds flowed, in one go, the aura flashed, and a talisman was formed.
She didn't pause, pulled up the second blank rune paper, spread it, put pen to paper, and made it!
The third, fourth, fifth??????
Luo Yu didn't count, she only had one thought in her heart, that is, to see the talisman she had just seen drawn, keep drawing it!
On the rostrum, everyone opened their mouths wide, but they didn't pause, could it be that the level of the talisman was relatively low? Thinking of this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, even if they finished drawing ten sheets, they would not be able to win if the level was less than the second-order superlative.
Because they are far away, they can't distinguish the level of the rune, but the aura when the rune is formed cannot determine the level of the rune, because the brightness of the aura is high, it may also be because the spiritual power seal is not good enough, due to the loss of part of the spiritual power, the effect of the formed rune will be reduced, and it may even fall to the next level.
Sixth, seventh?????? Wang Qi was counting the number of Luo Yu's talismans, there was still a quarter of an hour left, and there were still three to complete, in the way she didn't stop, there was time!
But why is her face getting paler and paler, and can't she hold on? Yes, how can you stand the cross-level drawing runes without stopping? (To be continued)
