Chapter 140: Opening of the General Assembly
On the first day of the first lunar month, it is advisable to: marry, make alliances, take collections, sacrifices, pray for blessings, ask for heirs, and meet relatives and friends.
Don't: enter the house, open the light, open the market, and break the ground.
This day is not only the day of the folk New Year, but also the days when the Taoist priests have been practicing hard for many years, and once became famous, this time, the venue of the competition is the same as usual, or in the Tushi Palace, after all, this is the holy place of learning that all Taoist priests dream of.
In front of the gate of Tushi Palace.
"Everyone, enter one by one, after entering, someone will arrange your residence, you must not walk around, you must not cause trouble, violators will be disqualified from the competition, here regardless of the strength of the background, regardless of the level of strength, regardless of the type of race, as long as you have the ability and ability of alchemy or refining, see you on the test table, I hope you Taoist priests remember!"
After the voice fell, the crowd erupted in various voices, some happy, some happy, some disdainful, and some excited, each of them with their own thoughts to temporarily stay in the highest school of the Taoist priests - Tushi Palace!
"Don't squeeze, take your time one by one!"
Today's Tushi Palace, can be described as lively and extraordinary, Tushi Palace, located in this northern continent on the most majestic Mount Tai, Mount Tai, is the head of the five mountains, which also corresponds to the position of the Tushi Palace.
Xiao Yan also came to the foot of Mount Tai, looked up, appreciated the height of Mount Tai, and sighed at the huge appeal of the Taoist Conference.
Originally, it would not take a day to get from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, but now? The registered brigade has been lined up from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, and there are still several ways to line up, I have to say that the situation at the time of the enrollment of Yunding Gate is nothing compared with this, and there is no comparison at all.
After each visitor reports their name, they will receive a hand with which someone will take you to your accommodation for the duration of the tournament, during which time Tusat Palace will take care of your food and accommodation for free until the end of the tournament.
When Xiao Yan saw the room that belonged to him a few days later, he had to sigh that Tushi Palace is Tushi Palace, the family is big, and the shot is generous.
Before coming, he thought that it would be the kind of room where many people are crowded together, after all, there are many contestants, and it is impossible to have such a spare room to entertain them, but he never thought that it was really a room for one person!
Each person is a separate space, although this room is not very large, but in addition to some necessities such as beds, tables, stools, etc., there are also intimate mechanisms set up on each person's bed, you only need to paste your hand cards, here, it will become a closed room for cultivation alone.
In it, you don't have to worry about someone disturbing you or peeping at you, because this room has an excellent function of isolating mental power detection, which can protect the privacy of each of them, and this room also has a time reminder function, in case you only focus on cultivation and forget the time, thus delaying the game.
Outside the room, there is a small courtyard, and there is a flower bed in the middle of the courtyard, which is full of all kinds of flowers and plants, which makes people look relaxed and happy, and the nervous mood before the game is instantly gone.
After more than ten days of registration, in the end, the first competition was set as a refining weapon, and the time of the competition was set at three o'clock in the afternoon of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the location was on the south square.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the annual Lantern Festival, also known as the Shangyuan Festival, which is the first important festival after the Spring Festival.
Appropriate: make a stove, lift, treat the road to paint, and do not take the rest;
Don't: sacrifice, prayer, burial, and door.
The competition focuses on the time, place, and people.
days, from time to time, manpower cannot decide; People, and discord, this depends on your popularity and the forces behind you, in fact, the main thing to look at is the forces behind you, which Xiao Yan can say at all now; But, the only thing he can decide is the location!
In order to better familiarize himself with the competition venue, and he was afraid that there would be too many people entering the stadium on the day of the game, and he could not freely observe the whole picture of the venue, so Xiao Yan came to this so-called South Square the night before.
It's still a bit early to go, but you are free to see the whole venue and analyze everything that may be unfavorable to you.
This is the first time he came to Tushi Palace, Tushi Palace was deeply stumped by him, in this strange place, he didn't dare to fly directly over, so, while walking and inquiring, in the Tushi Palace, I finally found this so-called South Square.
When I came to the South Square, the sky was bright, Xiao Yan walked all night, thinking that he had come early enough, but I didn't expect that there were already a lot of people standing in the square at this time, some were observing around this square, some were standing together in twos and threes talking about something, and some simply sat on the ground and cultivated, seeing this scene, Xiao Yan was stunned, how early they came!
Looking at the surrounding stands, it is even more exaggerated, the audience seats that can accommodate more than 100,000 people are already full! There are also a lot of people who are standing in the back because they are late and don't have seats!
It's still a few hours before the game starts, and there are already so many people, so when it's time for the real game, it's not crazy!
This made Xiao Yan see the popularity of the Taoist Conference for the first time, and it also made him more determined to win, he randomly found a corner to sit down, observing the surrounding environment and people.
With this observation, Xiao Yan found something interesting.
Refining weapons is a job that pays attention to skill and strength, and generally when refining weapons, they will find a quiet secret room, and at the most time, it is also a cave, because they are afraid that the temperature and bright light of the sun will affect the emotions and judgments of Taoist priests.
And this south square, there are no soundproofing measures at all, and I vaguely feel that there are things installed on the walls around it to enhance the echo, and this is an open-air square, although it is morning, but I can already feel that the weather is surprisingly good, and when it comes to noon, it will inevitably be sunny, so the weather, even sitting in the stands will feel hot, not to mention the competition for a while?
The time, place, and people are now unfavorable, and the earth is unfavorable, and as for the harmony between people and people, it is estimated that it is not so important.
"Interesting! It is worthy of the Taoist Conference, it seems that this first competition will stump many people! Xiao Yan smiled and muttered to himself.
Time passed slowly, and a few people appeared on the rostrum one after another, listening to the contestants next to them, sitting in the middle, is the chief Taoist priest of Tushi Palace, Jiang Hua, and next to him are sitting in turn are the senior Taoist priests of Kunlun Palace and Qionghua Palace, they will be the host and judge of the Taoist competition.
Jiang Hua, who was sitting in the middle and wearing a Taoist robe, slowly stood up and said loudly to the people below: "The time is coming, please go to the center of the square in turn and take a seat, and the competition will officially start at three o'clock in the afternoon!" ”
"Chen Hao!"
"Li Yaoyao!"
"Li Zhihong!"
……
"Rock owl!"
……
After all the contestants were seated, Jiang Hua continued: "This competition, I and all the refining masters will serve as judges, today, is the first competition of the Taoist priest, by me, to tell you the rules of this competition." ”
After Jiang Hua finished speaking, with a wave of his big hand, countless platforms rose on the square.
"Now, what appears in front of you is the material of this competition, there is an irregularly shaped dark iron on each platform, and a hammer, you need to hammer the dark iron on the platform into a thin sheet with a thickness of less than one point before sunset today, and require the thin sheet to be as flat as possible, only the thickness and flatness meet the requirements to pass, the winner enters the next competition, and the loser is eliminated.
I hope everyone can abide by the rules of the competition, during the competition, no head to ear, no loud noise, there are questions you can raise your hand to ask, not to be opportunistic, cheating, once found, will be directly disqualified from the competition, I hope you can consciously abide by!
Next, I announce that the first competition of the Taoist priest starts now! ”
