Chapter 351: The Key
Chu Xiang nodded and asked, "Are there any famous masters attending this conference?" ”
"Absolutely." The young man nodded heavily, and said with some excitement: "If you want to talk about the masters of the competition, the most famous should be Jiuqiansheng Sun Ying." ”
"Didn't Akiko participate?" Chu Xiang asked.
"I don't see the name of the Enlightened Sect Leader on the list." The young man said with a little disappointment, and then raised his spirits and said, "But the third and tenth places of the last session have participated. ”
Zhang Zhenbian actually came, it seems that his cultivation has improved, otherwise he would not come to participate in the martial arts conference again.
"Are there any other masters who didn't participate in the last edition?" Chu Xiang asked.
"Hero, I know a limited number of masters, I don't know other masters, and when the first few rounds of the play-in tournament are finished, then the dealer will open the handicap, and you will know which masters are." The young man said.
Chu Xiang nodded and asked, "Are there any rewards for this competition?" ”
Speaking of rewards, the young man's expression became excited, and he said with some excitement: "The top four of this conference will be directly awarded the rank of lieutenant general by the military, the top 32 is a major general, and the top 150 is a colonel. ”
To be able to enter the top one hundred and fifty, most of them are cultivators in the Void Realm, and the Dan Jin masters who can enter the top one hundred and fifty by luck are very limited, for the masters of the Void Realm, the rank of a colonel is definitely not high, and those who can enter the top four are definitely cultivators above the Divine Power Realm, with this kind of cultivation that is close to the peak of the Void Realm, the rank of a lieutenant general is not high, it can only be said that it is just right.
The military is eclectic to talents, demons, demons, witches, Dao, Shushan, Sanxian Island, Xidu demons and other forces will not take action, judging from the style of Daomen, they will basically not participate, Shushan and Sanxian Island should not participate, the demons and witches are sensitive, and they should not enter the game with such a high profile, and the demons and demons are thousands of years old and immortal, and they will not be interested in these things, so it seems that in the end, it depends on the power of the worldly cultivators.
Throwing a small piece of silver to the young man, Chu Xiang turned around in the crowd a few times, left the arena, and went to the Kuchan Temple in the east of the city.
On the way, I bought two bottles of turbid wine, and there were still a few hundred meters away from the Kuzen Temple, and Chu Xiang heard the two snoring sounds inside, who could sleep like this, except for the strange monk and Zhang Zhenbian.
The two of them estimated that it would take a while to wake up, put the wine on the altar, Chu Xiang went to the nearby mountains and forests to catch some small animals such as snakes and rats and came back, Kuchan Temple is not far from Wucheng, and the things that can be eaten around are basically caught, if it weren't for Chu Xiang's six senses, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to find anything alive.
Disemboweling and washing it with the rain, no matter what kind of radiation dust and rain he had, he found a stone and smashed a stone pot, and Chu Xiang dismantled the altar as firewood to cook snake and rat soup. In winter, of course, it is grilled and eaten, but in summer, it is hot, and it is a bit hot to eat when baked, so it is the best choice to cook and eat.
The fragrance wafted, and the two sleeping people smelled the fragrance, and jumped up with a grunt, and a gust of wind appeared by the pot.
"Senior, long time no see, master, long time see."
The strange monk responded with a hmm-hmm, looking at the boiling snake and rat soup with bright eyes, some of which could not wait, but there were no dishes and chopsticks, and he was a little overwhelmed, which looked very funny.
Taking a deep breath of the wafting aroma, Zhang Zhen stretched out his hand to grab the meat in the pot, and found that it seemed that this soup was not very good, and suddenly he had an idea, reached out and grabbed it, and rolled up the soup in the pot with vigor, and the soup was steaming and suspended in the air, and was pulled into a strip by Zhang Zhenbian, regardless of whether the soup could still burn people, and poured it directly into his mouth.
This 100 degree of soup is drunk in, even if it is a master of the virtual realm, if there is no means of cooling, it will cause stomach burns, seeing that Zhang Zhenbian drank the soup into it, Chu Xiangzheng wanted to stop it, Zhang Zhenbian sucked it up, and the hot soup had already entered Zhang Zhenbian's mouth.
The strange monk's eyes widened, and his two eyes looked at Zhang Zhenbian with bulging eyes, his face full of incredulity.
Zhang Zhen swallowed a mouthful of soup, slowly closed his eyes, as if he was reminiscing, and after a while, he suddenly opened his mouth, exhaled a breath upward, and a wave of heat rushed to the roof.
"What kind of kung fu is this?" The strange monk asked with a glare.
"Want to learn?" Zhang Zhen said, grabbing another ball of soup.
The strange monk nodded busily, and grabbed a ball of soup according to Zhang Zhenbian's appearance.
Zhang Zhenbian didn't say the trick, another ball of soup slipped in, and after the aftertaste was half loud, another hot breath was spit out.
"What do you mean?" Seeing that Zhang Zhenbian took another bite, but didn't tell him how to come, the strange monk shouted dissatisfiedly.
After observing Zhang Zhenbian's movements, Chu Xiang understood how Zhang Zhenbian was not scalded by the soup, in fact, before the soup entered his throat, Zhang Zhenbian separated the hot gas from it, but he didn't spit it out immediately, he kept it in his mouth, and only spit out the hot gas after swallowing the soup into his stomach, making the strange monk think that Zhang Zhenbian directly swallowed the hot soup into his stomach and then spit out the hot air.
Zhang Zhenbian naturally can't talk to the strange monk about such a small trick, if he knows it, his pretense will not be able to deceive the strange monk.
"It's not something you can learn if you want to." Zhang Zhen glanced at the strange monk.
"Hurry up, don't talk nonsense." The strange monk was impatient, and he couldn't eat the delicious soup, and his saliva was about to drip out.
"Don't swallow the heat, don't you." Zhang Zhen laughed.
The strange monk glared at Zhang Zhenbian, looking like he wanted to eat Zhang Zhenbian, he didn't ask if he knew that it was such a trick, he thought that Zhang Zhenbian really had some magic skills to swallow the heat and then spit it out.
Grabbed a lump of soup fiercely, the strange monk blew a breath, the hot soup was all blown away, the strange monk sucked it off, the soup was all in his mouth, and he tasted it for a long time before he grabbed the soup again.
The two of them ate and drank heavily, Chu Xiang couldn't stand by and watch, if they were full, how could a pot of soup be enough to eat, he could only drink the northwest wind.
A pot of soup was quickly divided up by the three of them, and the two bottles of wine were also poured by the strange monk and Zhang Zhenbian with a grunt, and they couldn't eat enough, and the strange monk was a little dissatisfied and went back to sleep.
"Senior, I don't understand one thing, this martial arts conference is just a competition, why are so many masters rushing to it, even you are participating again?" Chu Xiangdao.
"In your opinion, what are the benefits of this martial arts conference?" Zhang Zhenbian did not answer the rhetorical question.
"Be an official." Chu Xiangdao.
"That's the answer." Zhang Zhen said.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Xiang said puzzledly: "The juniors still don't understand. ”
"Whether it is Daomen, Shushan, Sanxian Island, or demons and witches and other ethnic groups, they are just entrants, not the power that can really determine the overall situation, the court is the place where luck gathers, when there is an emperor today, it is the power that really affects the general trend of the world, the three emperors of heaven, earth and man are not subordinate, but stand side by side, enter the court, and have the blessing of the luck of the Son of Heaven."
Chu Xiang's brows furrowed, Zhang Zhenbian's words made him feel suddenly enlightened, it turned out that the imperial court was the key to deciding everything, but these words came out of Zhang Zhenbian's mouth, which made Chu Xiang a little strange, this should not be a question that Zhang Zhenbian could figure out, he was dedicated to martial arts, and would never spend his mind thinking about these complicated things.
"Senior, these things shouldn't have come to your own mind, right?" Chu Xiangdao.
Zhang Zhenbian laughed twice and said, "Of course not." ”
"Which senior told you that?" Chu Xiang asked.
"Who do you think it will be?" Zhang Zhen looked at Chu Xiangdao.
"Master Qin?" Chu Xiangdao.
"Clever." Zhang Zhenbian gave a thumbs up.
It turned out to be Qin Santong who told Zhang Zhenbian, that is to say, these words were transmitted to him by Qin Santong through Zhang Zhenbian's mouth, why did he pass on the words through Zhang Zhenbian, I am afraid that Qin Santong felt that Chu Xiang would cause a gap between the two because of his visit to the Wudang Patriarch, and he was afraid that Chu Xiang would have a prejudice against him because of this, so he passed on the words through Zhang Zhenbian's mouth.
Qin Santong said this, his attitude towards Chu Xiang was naturally conceivable, not only did he not blame him for Chu Xiang's behavior of going to meet the Wudang Patriarch, but because he understood his situation, he gave him a detailed reminder, so that Chu Xiang could understand the current situation and what to do was the best choice.
"Thank you, senior." Chu saluted Zhengse.
"Thank you, thank you, it's really uncomfortable to be so serious about this little thing." Zhang Zhenbian said dissatisfiedly.
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "Actually, I want to thank Master Qin, but Master Qin is not here, so I can only let my predecessors take advantage." ”
"Don't, the Sprinkle family doesn't want to take advantage of this, you thank him yourself." Zhang Zhen waved his hand.
"Then don't disturb the seniors' rest." Chu Xiang arched his hand.
"What the hell to do, what to do." Zhang Zhen waved his hand.
Out of the Kuchan Temple, Chu Xiang entered the martial city again, Qin San woke him up with the same words, only the imperial court is the key to everything, then this martial arts conference will definitely have masters from all sides to participate in the battle, and even the Xidu demons may participate, because if they want to break away from the palm of the Qin Emperor, the only chance is to rely on the power of the current imperial court, it is possible to compete with the Qin Emperor, and only then can it be possible to truly recover their free body.
Xidu Demon is still like this, how can other forces not see the key, this martial arts conference is not only a grand event in the world, but also a grand event in the cultivation world, as long as it is a region under the rule of the imperial court today, they will strive for the ranking of this conference, this martial arts conference will see the power of the entire cultivation world, the real heroes gather, and the wind and clouds will rise together.
After thinking about it, Chu Xiang had already made a decision, and Chu Xiang knew that nine times out of ten it was Qin Santong who paved the way for him, and only if Qin Santong cared about him so much and understood him, would he think so carefully for him.
Yesterday, Chu Xiang received a telephone call from the secretary of the president of the All-China Women's Federation, inviting him to be the honorary chairman of the All-China Women's Federation.
