Chapter 76: Casting lots
At the moment when the boy in purple raised his eyes and pulled out a trace of evil smile somewhere, Liuyun only felt a moment of trance.
Foot meal.
It just so happened that the door next to Liuyun suddenly opened from the inside, and the moment a young man inside stepped out of the threshold, he happened to bump into Liuyun who was turning around and losing his mind.
Suddenly hit by a strong force, Liuyun subconsciously adjusted the balance of his body, but accidentally stepped on the man's foot.
"I'm sorry. ”
Liuyun apologized in a low voice, and then continued to walk forward.
I saw that the young man glanced at Liuyun up and down, as if he was extremely disgusted with the clothes that Liuyun was wearing, and pointed at Liuyun and let out a piercing shout.
Liuyun frowned when he heard this.
Slowly turning around, he saw that the young man was dressed in a robe made of colorful silk, with a girdle made of the finest spirit stones pinned to his waist, and a headband made of purple gold and inlaid with gems on his head. From the neck to the feet, there was not a single crack or wrinkle in the robe, as if it were a new piece of cloth that had not been cut. In particular, the colorful silkworm satin is even more sparkling under the reflection of light. It's just that under the wrap of that luxurious clothes, there is a young man with a somewhat sickly pale face.
is such a graceful and luxurious young man, whose delicate facial features are replaced by a distorted hideousness. Stretching out his index finger, he trembled and pointed at the tip of his nose that was flowing in front of him.
"How dare you step on my green forging boots with your cheap dirt-ridden rag shoes!"
Looking at the sick young man who was already a little nervous in front of him, Liuyun just glanced at him lightly, and then continued to walk forward, keeping up with He Ruidong who was walking in front.
The young man behind Liuyun seemed to be extremely incredulous about the fact that he was being ignored. A strange flush gradually surged on the pale and delicate little face, and the expression on the face became more and more hideous, and the whole body began to tremble.
"I ...... I'm talking to you!"
Watching the clouds in front of him go farther and farther, the somewhat crazy teenager began to let out bursts of extremely mean curses and screams, like a puppet controlled by the devil, his eyes were full of scarlet.
The young man's scream gradually attracted some curious martial artists who were curious to see the excitement, and He Ruidong, who was walking in front, turned his head slightly when he heard the sound, and was somewhat disgusted by this obviously abnormal young man, and raised his right hand lightly, bringing out a strong and sharp palm wind, and swept towards the young man who kept shouting.
"Ho!"
The palm wind that He Ruidong casually raised should have directly overturned a teenager of that age. But something was somewhat surprising that the moment the palm wind hit the young man's body, it was shattered by a low roar of the young man.
The young man who shattered a piece of He Ruidong's palm wind was like a bomb about to explode was ignited by an open flame, and the next moment, the young man's consciousness became even more violent and unstable.
Liuyun could even vaguely feel the physical energy coming out of the young man's body, just like a hot iron placed outdoors in winter, the kind of energy flow that constantly poured out of the young man's body, and Liuyun felt a little panicked in his heart.
This...... Is it an individual?
Just before the boy was about to completely collapse his mind, a man who rushed out of the private room in the building hurriedly stretched out two fingers and pointed them on the young man's forehead, and Liuyun vaguely saw that there seemed to be some viscous liquid on the tips of those two fingers.
The boy then immediately lost consciousness and collapsed into the arms of the man behind him.
"The dog's discipline is not strict, it is really rude, I hope you will forgive me!"
"Everyone's forgiveness, forgive me!"
The man smiled apologetically at He Ruidong in the distance, and couldn't help nodding slightly to the martial artist watching the excitement beside him. The man looked to be about thirty years old, and he exuded that elegant scholarly temperament, which was completely inconsistent with the brutal temperament of the beast-like son in his arms.
Liuyun took a deep look at the pale young man who fell in his arms, and then followed He Ruidong into a room in the deepest part of the floor.
This room is the deepest room on the entire floor. Here, you can see the entire ring at a glance. The furniture and decorations in the room are also very luxurious and dazzling.
Liuyun sat down slowly, took the delicate purple clay pot on the table, and poured a cup of tea for He Ruidong and himself.
Returning to the purple ring, the process of drawing stone plaques was completely over.
When the last person took out the stone tablet, the neat and spotless stone tablet in everyone's hands began to slowly change. A small black dot appeared in the center of the stone plaque, and the black dot slowly spread into a strange rune in all directions, and the runes faded to the end, turning into various numbers.
When the numbers appeared, everyone was about to accept the stone tablets, but they were all surprised to find that the numbers that slowly appeared on the stone tablets were imprinted on the back of their hands at some point.
Then the hall inspectors began to inspect the backs of the hands of the fifty-one warriors on the platform one by one, and finally found a pair of clean and neat hands at the end of the team, without the slightest symbol imprint.
It was the boy in purple.
That's right, the process of drawing stone tablets is a form of drawing lots. It not only fundamentally put an end to the behavior of secretly changing signs in the audience, but also selected the objects of the lot in a fair and just manner.
Inside the stone box, there are fifty-one stone tablets, and fifty of them have rune marks on the inside. Every two stone plaques with the same rune are arranged into a group, and each group is contested according to the brand.
And the stone plaque without any rune marks was the lucky one selected in the end.
The so-called lucky one is a martial artist who can use this stone card to directly advance to the third link without competition. It can also be said that this blank stone plaque is a gold medal for exemption.
When the staff of the hall announced the news of envy of others, the boy in purple only smiled slightly. Then he followed the guidance of the attendants beside him and walked to the audience.
Liuyun slowly put down the teacup, always feeling as if there was something he hadn't noticed.
Something seems to be wrong.
And so time began to turn back.
The water in the teacup began to flow back into the teapot, the crowd began to fade away, the silence turned back to noisy, and the slope of the sun began to change in a new way. Until at a certain moment, the golden light of Liuyun's left eye flashed, and the picture stopped at a certain moment.
Then, the hourglass of time begins to be flipped.
A sturdy young man suddenly had a momentary dullness in his eyes when his fingers touched the stone tablet in the closed stone box, and the stone tablet in his hand slipped back into the stone box again. Then he snapped back to his senses, grabbed a new stone tablet, and rubbed his eyes, as if he felt a little strange about the momentary loss of consciousness he had just had.
Liuyun watched the moment that happened when he drew the lot several times, and he didn't think there was anything strange.
Just when Liuyun secretly laughed at how his spirit had become so sensitive for some reason recently, suddenly, at a certain moment, he was suddenly stunned.
The back began to chill, and cold sweat broke out on the forehead.
