Chapter 363: The Contest is about to begin
Lu Shuangyang just wants to talk about the muddy waters of the Spring Equinox City now, which is really getting more and more muddy.
Originally, I thought that since the group of people brought by Huazhu were official people, then they should have the same purpose as Lu Shuangyang.
But now, according to what Qin Yunfei said, that black-robed man is very likely to be a powerful minister of the Painted Rain Empire, so the people on the side of the Painted Rain Empire can't rely on it...... They are the only ones who can rely on themselves.
"That guy, why did you set up his Xuan Array here? If that person really wants to be a super corpse like last time, there is no need to go around in the underground drain to come here. ”
Lu Shuangyang and Qin Yunfei returned to the place where the black-robed man had originally arranged the Xuan Array, and there was still a half-finished Xuan Array diagram on the ground.
Lu Shuangyang closed his eyes and reviewed how many roads they had walked since they entered the underground drain, and counted where they appeared in the underground of the Spring Equinox City.
"I see," Lu Shuangyang already knew where they were in the Spring Equinox City after some calculations, and he looked up at the ceiling, "The top here should be the committee of the Painting Immortal Competition." ”
"Really?" Qin Yunfei thought for a moment, "The Immortal Painting Contest Committee can't be just a coincidence right above this. ”
Lu Shuangyang nodded: "Of course it can't be a coincidence, that guy's purpose is probably also the Immortal Painting Competition." ”
"What is he doing in the Immortal Painting Competition? What is his purpose?" When I was in Breeze Town before, the black-robed people did so much to make super corpses, and then use them to do something.
But now that he's meddling in the Immortal Drawing Competition, it's obviously hard to get anything to do with what he did in Breeze Town in the first place.
"If the black-robed man came here because he had the money to spend money to invite him, it would make sense. Lu Shuangyang thought of a reasonable explanation, "That black-robed man, doing such a thing as a super corpse man is definitely not allowed by the official, and these things he does will definitely cost a lot of money." Although he is said to be an important minister in the court, in order not to be suspected by his colleagues, he cannot use his money excessively. So he needs to take on private jobs to make money. I'm afraid that someone spent a lot of money to invite him to come to the Immortal Painting Contest to do something. ”
Qin Yunfei also nodded: "It does make sense to say this, but there is still one of the most important questions, who wants to do things in the Painting Immortal Competition." The Heavenly Thief was hired, and so was the Deathless Black-robed Man...... Even if we stop them, the people who hired them behind them will definitely let others do it. ”
"Then we can't help it...... I can only look at it step by step...... "Although Lu Shuangyang has a suspicion in his heart, there is no evidence now, and he can't go out of his way to investigate him."
"The second round of the official competition is about to start, let's see what happens......"
After returning to the ground, Lu Shuangyang once again asked Lin Yin to try to search for the death qi of the black-robed man, but the black-robed man was very cautious, and he had been hiding his death qi until now, I am afraid that he would always hide his dead qi before he made a move.
......
On this day, the Spring Equinox City ushered in the grand occasion of several years, because the second round of the Immortal Painting Contest finally began.
In the spring equinox city, on the square in front of the committee of the Painting Immortal Competition, a very large stage was built, the stage was about one meter higher than the general ground, and the floor of the stage was a poetic ink painting.
The painting depicts a river on a rainy season, on a river with a poet carried by a boatman, the scenery on both sides of the river has its own characteristics, the south bank is a lush dark green forest, the north bank is a pink peach blossom forest.
On the stage, there are two hundred tables with all kinds of tools for painting: paintbrushes, white paper, all kinds of paints......
Around the stage, it was already crowded with people, and all kinds of people rushed here early in the morning to watch this painting fairy competition...... But even though they had rushed here early in the morning, many of them had already taken their place the night before.
"I didn't expect that the attraction of this painting fairy contest is far beyond my imagination!"
Lu Shuangyang and Qin Yunfei were hidden in the crowd, at this time Lu Shuangyang was still his usual dark blue clothes, he was not wearing a mask, and his handsome face was also looking forward to the start of the Painting Immortal Competition, while Qin Yunfei was wearing a veil, because Qin Yunfei was too eye-catching, her beautiful face coupled with her cold temperament would be attracted to her, plus Qin Yunfei was a person with status, if she was recognized, it would be troublesome. At this point, they disguised themselves as the same to come to watch the enthusiastic crowd of the competition......
Although he said that he would try his best to disguise, Qin Yunfei was still a little uncomfortable, because Lu Shuangyang held Qin Yunfei's hand. If you want to disguise yourself as an ordinary person and not be noticed, then you can't use Xuan Qi to resist these crowds...... Although it makes sense to say this, but being held by Lu Shuangyang like this, Qin Yunfei's heartbeat still accelerated a little.
"What about Chen Feifei and the person who cleared the wind?" The four of them were involved in this matter, but now only Lu Shuangyang and Qin Yunfei were there, and Qin Yunfei asked Lu Shuangyang about the whereabouts of the other two.
Lu Shuangyang said: "-Chen Feifei is a contestant, and he was called to the competition committee as early as yesterday to prepare for today's competition. And Han Feng, because he had seen his face in the Heavenly Thieves before, and was being watched, so it was not good to hide here with us, he was alone in the teahouse not far away and looked at this side from the window here. ”
In the teahouse on the east side of the square, the window was facing a private room in the square, and Han Feng was lying on the windowsill looking at the square. He had just observed that there were four people in the teahouse, and there were also four people at the door downstairs, all of whom were thieves. There were eight in total, and the Heavenly Thieves sent a total of eight people to keep an eye on him. Maybe such a lineup is enough to deal with the masters of the younger generation, but it is not good to deal with him Han Feng, because if Han Feng wants to ask these people, he just needs to turn into a style, and this person has no way to deal with him.
"I'll just wait here slowly, Lu Shuangyang is right, I am indeed here to attract some of the Heavenly Thieves. ”
......
"Why haven't we started yet?"
"yes! I've been waiting so long!"
"Don't worry, it should be soon......"
Although there was already a crowd under the stage, there was still no sign of the conference starting, and the audience who had been waiting here for a long time was impatient!
"Everyone, long waiting!"
Suddenly, a strong voice resounded throughout the square, and the originally noisy square was instantly quiet.
On the second floor of the competition committee, a figure suddenly jumped out and landed in the center of the stage.
"It's the Lord of Spring Rock City!"
"It's the city lord!
I saw that the middle-aged man in front of me was wearing leopard skin, wearing a hair crown, and a black beard that grew to his chest, and he was a little fat...... This person is the city lord of the spring equinox city, Chunyan.
The lords of the empire are appointed by the official of the empire to manage the local offices.
Chunyan served as the lord of the vernal equinox city for some years, and during his tenure as the lord of the city, the vernal equinox city developed very well, and he was safe and healthy in a hundred battles, so Chunyan was very loved by the people of the vernal equinox city.
"Everyone, be quiet," the Spring Rock City Lord said in his strong voice, "It's an honor that I can be invited to be the host of this Immortal Painting Competition. ”
"Wow! The city lord is the host of the competition, it's really unprecedented!"
"yes! The cards in this Immortal Drawing Contest are really big!"
"For so many years, although I have been the lord of the Spring Equinox City, I have been busy with government affairs, and I don't know much about the many Immortal Painting Competitions held in my city, so with this opportunity, I want to have a good understanding of the Immortal Painting Contest. ”
"Good!"
Under the stage, a thunderous applause rang out.
"Now, let me introduce the judges of this competition......"
With Chunyan's introduction, one by one walked out of the committee's room and made it to the judges' seat on the stage. Although they all accepted well-known painters, because the light of Chunyan was too dazzling, the shock when they came out was still much weaker.
"Next, we have invited the special judges of this competition," Chunyan's tone also increased by a few points, "Please, draw the second prince of the rain empire, and draw the prince of the bamboo to appear." ”
"Oh roar, he's coming to be a judge?" Although he knew that Huazhu would definitely interfere in this painting immortal competition, Lu Shuangyang didn't expect him to be a judge.
As soon as Chunyan's words fell, the handsome prince with a smile on his face, dressed in a pale green shirt, walked out of the committee building.
"Wow! It's really a prince!"
Although I have long heard that the prince has come to the vernal equinox city, I have never had a chance to see it, and now I finally see it. ”
"I didn't expect the prince to be so handsome!"
"I've heard that the prince hasn't married yet, and he doesn't even have a marriage contract. ”
"Really, it would be nice if the prince could marry me!"
"If you want to be beautiful, the prince wants to marry, either a princess from another country, or a powerful girl, how can he take a fancy to you?"
"That's not necessarily, because I heard that the prince of the painting bamboo has a very low status, and he is very good for civilians......"
The appearance of the painted bamboo instantly made many girls present panic.
"I didn't expect this guy to be so popular with girls!" Lu Shuangyang said a little incredulously.
Qin Yunfei said lightly: "Painting bamboo is not only good-looking, but also has a good Xuan Qi cultivation, and the level of painting is also first-class, coupled with his character, not to mention the women of the Painting Rain Empire, even on our side of the Qinxue Empire, there are many women who regard him as their dream lover." ”
"Oh roar," Lu Shuangyang looked at Qin Yunfei with a strange gaze, "Is it also your dream girl?"
Qin Yunfei was stunned for a moment, and then said coldly: "No." ”
