Chapter 40: The Formation
"There's nothing else to do, I just want to ask my brother for a favor. Afterwards, Xiao Yu will be thanked. Xiao Yu took another step forward.
"What's the rush? Say it first, see if I can help. The man was forced into a corner and looked terrified.
Xiao Yu didn't answer, smiled slightly, and suddenly stretched out his hands together, and put the person in front of him, and the Dao Qi instantly rushed into the person's body.
After a scream of "ah", the man had passed out and was completely unconscious.
Xiao Yu now has a lot of experience in his ability to control Dao Qi, and he is sure that there is a way to fill this person's whole body without harming him in the slightest, but physical pain is inevitable.
Under the current situation, he can only make this decision, Xiao Yu is secretly ashamed.
"Whoosh"
Xiao Yu grabbed the man's feet with both hands, and rushed out of the bottom of the pit with his qi in action.
"Ahh
"What's the matter, this man is crazy!"
The people above were defenseless, and Xiao Yu, who rushed over, picked up the "weapon" and hit him directly.
Weapons are not allowed in the primary election, but this can't be considered a weapon, and there is a channel for the leakage of Dao Qi is indeed a great increase in power. Xiao Yu was a little proud in his heart.
The person who was swept was knocked out with an "ah", and a gap suddenly appeared on the edge of the pit.
"Whoosh", Xiao Yu took the "weapon" to show his might by the pit.
Everyone on the edge of the pit didn't expect Xiao Yu to come to such a hand, and they all became panicked for a while. Xiao Yu was waiting for now, and at that moment, he saw the vacancy, used the starting method, and rushed out of the encirclement at once.
"Oh, let this kid slip away, what are you doing in a daze, chase it!"
"He's got it, he's got a weapon!"
"What kind of weapon, won't we use this trick, you come here!"
"No, no, no, senior brother, do you want to change someone?"
...
Xiao Yu had already rushed to the outermost periphery, with Xiao Yu as the center, no one dared to step forward within a radius of about seven or eight feet. After all, everyone had no weapons in their hands, and if they didn't have weapons, they would have no support, so they watched Xiao Yu run out of the venue with a smoke.
"Good, good, what a plan."
"Which master founded the Daxingcheng Sect, how could there be such a ruthless person?"
The onlookers had mixed reviews, while Han Liyan laughed happily on the side.
"Daxingcheng faction? This guy is quite interesting, go and find out where he came from. Shangshu Yu Wenbi of the Ministry of Rites smiled slightly, waved his hand at a subordinate, and the subordinate left.
"Hahaha, soldiers don't get tired of cheating, this kid is very good." Yang Xuangan laughed.
Song Guogong He Ruobi also smiled and kept brushing his beard, only Taichangqing Gao Gong still stared at Xiao Yu's back without saying a word.
"Hey, brother, are you alright, hey." Xiao Yu hurriedly moved at the "weapon" in his hand.
"Wow", the man spat out and then woke up leisurely, "You, you, you, can't you discuss it with me in advance?" ”
Xiao Yu glanced at the man apologetically, "My name is Xiao Yu and I live in the Qianguang Inn. After the conference, please give Brother Tai a face no matter what, and I am very sorry to prepare a banquet to make amends for Brother Tai. ”
Xiao Yu saw that the "weapon" was fine, so he relieved himself, turned around and followed the sergeant of the Xiaoguo Army who had been urging for a long time.
"Alas, I said that I shouldn't come to the Central Plains." The man lay on the ground in pain.
"Brother Xiao really has you, hahaha, better than me!" Xiao Yu was led by the sergeant to a large room outside the field, which was very spacious, and the winners who had just passed the primary election were gathered here.
"Go and go, you are opportunistic, not like me." Xiao Yu saw the Qinghua Taoist with a hippie smile on his face, and he couldn't tell whether to be happy or sad.
Rejoice, both of them passed the primary. Sad, I'm afraid that the Qinghua Daoist doesn't know that he has become a pawn of the imperial court.
Forget it, don't tell the Qinghua Daoists, let's take one step at a time, they have already participated anyway.
"Yo, the high-level apprentices of the Daxingcheng faction are different, hehe, I can't learn this ability to speculate and get money." Changning's voice came.
Xiao Yu fixed his eyes, and the eyes of almost all the winners in the room were focused on him. Xiao Yu was unhappy when he heard this, but no matter how he said it, it seemed that he was also at his own fault, so he stopped paying attention to Changning, who was sneering on the side, and whispered to the Qinghua Taoist at the same time.
Less than a quarter of an hour passed.
"First of all, congratulations on passing the primary." Before I saw anyone, I heard a rough voice coming, it turned out to be Wang Shichong, a member of the military department.
With the sound of footsteps, Wang Shichong walked in from the outside.
"Without further ado, please eat something and take a break, and in an hour, the re-election will begin." Wang Shichong's loud voice suddenly became much lower, and a flattering smile appeared on his face, "I think everyone also knows, if you win in the end, you will have a bright future, and I hope that you can also carry Wang at that time." ”
The winners had to thank each other again and again.
The degree of change in the face of this soldier is really more powerful than Han Liyan.
"Okay, everyone knows the rules of the re-election, so I won't be verbose, come on, carry it up."
Wang Shichong waved his hand, and more than a dozen subordinates walked up carrying buckets of food, and another dozen subordinates carried Hu tables, Hu chairs, pots and dishes, and after a while, a table of fragrant meals was prepared.
"This is what my king specially prepared for you, and when the meeting is about to start, I will send someone to tell you, please use it slowly." Wang Shichong turned around and left with his subordinates.
From the beginning of queuing up on Zhaoyangmen Street in the morning to the present, all the cultivators have almost not entered the rice, plus the primary election, almost everyone feels a little hungry after such a toss. Everyone did not shirk, and sat down on the table one after another to eat.
"Brother Xiao, the re-election is mainly a battle of soldiers, how is it?" The Qinghua Taoist took a plate of dim sum and stuffed it into his mouth.
The re-election is mainly a battle of soldiers, of course Xiao Yu knows this.
The fifty winning cultivators were again divided into ten groups, with a total of five cultivators in each group participating, and the re-selection was determined to use weapons, formations, and secret techniques. Each cultivator led fifty Xiaoguo soldiers as a team, and a group of five teams of men and horses formed a formation in the field and stood in different directions, and then began to fight each other, and finally the formation was not chaotic, and the group with the fewest wounded sergeants won.
In the formation, fifty-one people cooperate as a whole, and the ability of the individual is not so important, what matters is the ability of the caster to control the formation and the ability to strategize and adapt to changes.
This Great Sui Imperial Court is really selecting reserve talents for generals, Xiao Yu's heart is bright.
Alas, I don't know if Brother Dou passed the primary election, Xiao Yu thought to himself.
The competition of the martial arts part is in the Western Imperial City, and the routine of the whole competition is very different from the comparison of the cultivation part. Xiao Yu didn't pay much attention to how the martial arts part was competitive, and now he could only silently cheer for Brother Dou in his heart.
After everyone finished eating, they each found a place to close their eyes and recuperate for the next re-election. Xiao Yu and Qinghua Daoist also found a relatively clean place to rest.
Soldiers. There is a "Ferris Formation" passed on to him by the master, but he has hardly actually used it. The one-word long snake array, the two dragons out of the water array, the heaven and earth three talent array, the four-door bottom array..., these are just some common formations, these winning leaders may have some secret techniques for pressing the box, Xiao Yu slowly thought about the countermeasures in his mind.
"Everyone, please, the venue has been set up, please move, masters." A sergeant walked in and said loudly.
"Let's go." Xiao Yu kicked the Qinghua Taoist who was sleeping on the side.
After passing this level first, let's get "Hong Fan Jiuchou", Xiao Yu looked at Changning who was stretching his waist in the distance.
"Ha, it's finally out."
"The second selection is going to begin."
The people on the edge of the venue just now did not disperse, and they were all patiently waiting for the start of the re-election.
"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao..."Han Liyan's dance troupe started again, and Xiao Yu helplessly looked at Han Liyan who was looking over excitedly from a distance.
The monks who did not win the primary election were deliberately placed in a large area to the west. These "failed" monks are also cheering loudly for their fellow disciples.
The long pole in the field has been removed, and a large circle has been limemed inside, and five tall and mighty Xiaoguo Army sergeants stand at equal distances on the edge of the circle. The Xiaoguo army looks amazing, but all they hold in their hands are bamboo knives and arrows. The pits, trenches, etc., in the center of the field, still exist, and it seems that these obstacles themselves were prepared for the re-election.
"Alright, be quiet, now let's start grouping!" Wang Shichong's loud voice suddenly shocked the onlookers, who were still shouting.
At this time, the subordinate hurriedly handed Wang Shichong a large pot of feather arrows, and each feather arrow was engraved with the names of the fifty victorious cultivators.
"The first competition, the first position, the king of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, Xuanmo Wang Zhenren." Wang Shichong drew the first feather arrow.
I saw a young Taoist priest in fluttering clothes walk out of the winner's team, and the Taoist priest raised the dust in his hand and walked towards a group of Xiaoguo troops marked as the first position.
"B, the warrior Helian Zhen of the Xi Department."
"C, Tianzhu's Dirang monk."
"Ding, Ding Chengyi of Shanggu County."
"E, the Pujing monk of Daxingshan Temple."
"The high monk is reluctant." "The monk will win." ”
When Wang Shichong read to Daxingshan Temple, the onlookers were in an uproar, and it seems that the reputation of Daxingshan Temple in Daxing City is very good.
Seeing that the five cultivators in the first group had already walked to their respective positions, Wang Shichong shouted again, "Please choose your weapons. ”
Each monk participating in the competition can freely choose the weapons equipped with his or her own Xiaoguo Army sergeant, such as bamboo swords, bamboo knives, bamboo guns, bamboo arrows and bamboo crossbows.
"Beat the drums of war!" After the five cultivators had chosen their weapons, Wang Shichong shouted again.
As soon as the sergeant standing on the high place heard the order, he struck the side in front of him and puffed it up.
"Knock knock, knock knock." The huge war drums made a dull sound, and the atmosphere in the stadium suddenly became tense.
A drum is about the time it takes to beat a stick of incense. During this incense burn time, the cultivators must quickly display their formations to observe the enemy's situation, which is also a test of the cultivators' ability to display their formations, and only after the war drums are sounded, the five cultivators can attack each other.
The five cultivators on the field were nervously adjusting their formations.
"Boom!" The last drums of war sounded.
"Let's go!"
The people who were still shouting suddenly became silent, and the tense atmosphere had reached the extreme.
The first round of the second round has officially begun!
