Main Chapter Ninety-Six: A Big Game of Chess
Time is really the most unpretentious thing in the world, and in the blink of an eye, it has been in a variety of forms, each of which is wonderful.
Ten years later, there was a crowd of people in the martial arts arena of the Huangquan Linmo Courtyard, and Lan Zeyun and Bai Yuxi stood in the outermost place where there were few people and waited. Under the scorching sun, bursts of heat surged in the martial arts arena.
Bai Yuxi yawned loudly: "Oops! Annoyed to death, yesterday in Jiaoxi, I saw that A-Niang was preoccupied, and she was a little absent-minded about what she was doing, so I specially went to ask Grandma Bai, it turned out that this god and demon trial conference had arrived. Tsk, wonderful, I don't know how this year will end. ”
Lan Zeyun was listless when she heard Bai Yuxi's words, and she was not excited at all, not at all like she was usual, so she turned her head and asked, "What?" You don't like this kind of thing the most on weekdays, why do you look like a persimmon beaten by frost today, and the rake is weak and weak? ”
Bai Yuxi stepped back a little, and with the shadow cast by the pillar, he barely earned a little shade and said: "Let me tell you, this god and demon trial conference is held once every hundred years, and every time the demon disciples who go to Kunlun are all distraught, how do you say I am happy!" ”
"Kunlun?"
Lan Zeyun muttered silently, if you want to say that the ninth mountain of the god race, those people who have not seen for many years, it is inevitable that they will not see it again, after all, she has a reason to go.
Bai Yuxi looked at the disciples in front of him who were either ambitious or depressed, and shook his head helplessly: "This god and demon trial conference is held once every hundred years, and every time I go to participate, the best disciples in this hundred years, and those who are depressed in front of me are probably the disciples who participated last time,!" Woe! ”
Lan Zeyun said Bai Yuxi's gaze looked forward, and his heart suddenly felt a little touched, thinking that in their eyes, it must be very uncomfortable not to bring back honor for the demon clan.
Before long, several elders of the demon clan and Fu Xingzi all came here.
Lan Zeyun and Bai Yuxi glanced at Fu Xingzi, and then the two looked at each other, raised their eyebrows at each other, and lowered their heads.
It is said that since Lan Zeyun and Bai Yuxi went to the Demon Academy, they have basically been cared for by Mr. Fu every month, and because the two of them are indeed different, this Mr. Fu is afraid that the two of them will not think correctly and take a crooked path, and almost every time they will say some words and deeds such as etiquette. Later, the two of them always tried every means to avoid him, but what the two of them didn't expect was that this Fu Xingzi was actually the dean of the Demon Academy! He was in charge of the entire Demon Courtyard, so that the two of them could not avoid it. Speaking of which, I was really tortured badly, and my ears were calloused......
But today, Fu Xingzi didn't say anything, just simply settled down a few words and left, and when he left, he didn't forget to look twice in the direction where Lan Zeyun and the others were standing, which startled the two of them.
After Fu Xingzi left, the white-haired and white-bearded elder immediately picked up the conversation and said with a serious expression: "You are all young disciples recruited by my demon clan for a hundred years, but this trip is related to the reputation of my demon clan, so we will select the best three people through some methods, together with the outstanding disciples of other academies, to compete with the children of the god clan!" Rest well today, and gather here on time tomorrow! ”
The elder didn't look back and left, and all the disciples were excited
Groups left.
Lan Zeyun and the others walked out of the martial arts arena and walked silently for a while. Bai Yuxi stopped suddenly, stretched out his hand and patted his head, and said in horror: "It's over, it's not simple, it's not simple, I don't think it's right!" ”
Lan Zeyun was taken aback, but looking at Bai Yuxi's serious expression, it didn't seem like a joke, and he asked instead, "What's wrong?" But what's the matter? ”
Bai Yuxi bit her lip: "I heard them say that the competitions in previous years were all said in advance, and they usually went to a certain trial site in Huangquan to complete various trial projects, and they would order their disciples to pack up and prepare almost three days in advance, why is there no news at all this year, I'm afraid something is wrong..."
Lan Zeyun suddenly remembered that when he was in Lingshan Xifeng Academy before, his test item was to go to Houshan, and the other disciples were all in the martial arts arena to complete the round battle. But it's true that no matter what, it will be explained in advance. Today is indeed too strange, and when Fu Xingzi looks at them in the end, it always makes her feel uneasy.
Although there are many doubts, but since it is a choice of disciples to compete with the Protoss, it will not be too easy, and there will be a fierce battle tomorrow no matter what, so Lan Zeyun and the others went to hunt some wild food that night, and they ate it indiscriminately, and slept peacefully at night.
As for Fu Xingzi, since he hit the Demon Courtyard, he took the spirit beast and went to a peach orchard on a back mountain in Huangquan.
Although it is the summer solstice, the peach blossoms in the garden are still spreading, with fragrance and charming, not far away there are a few sounds of discordant iron collisions, the movement is not violent, crisp sound, just like carving some small silver ornaments.
Fu Xingzi was respectful, did not squint all the way, and walked towards the place of sound uprightly.
On the table in the innermost courtyard of the peach garden, there are many beads the size of fingernails, I don't know what material they are, and they glow with a faint silver light, but if you look closely, these evenly sized beads seem to contain some imposing power.
Du Luo rarely did not wear a tolerant brocade robe, but wore a neat and sassy binding suit, at the moment is sitting at the table, two slender and plump hands have their own division of labor, holding a small sharp knife in the right hand, holding a small bead in the left hand, is concentrating on carving a delicate little lotus.
Fu Xingzi walked to the table, folded his hands flat on his chest, and made a deep royal salute to Du Luo.
Duluo's hands did not stop moving, but only said softly, "Get up." Fu Xingzi got up at this time, stood aside, and said, "Emperor, it's ready, all waiting for you to start the battle tomorrow." ”
Hearing this, Du Luo nodded, and suddenly remembered something: "The two of them are indeed top-notch in terms of strength and mental strength, but, as you said, these are not the most important things, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." They still lacked something. I played this game. ”
"It's all up to the emperor."
On the second day, Lan Zeyun and the others had a good night's sleep, and before the hour, they had already arrived at the martial arts arena of the Demon Courtyard to wait.
But in a quarter of an hour, the entire martial arts arena was already full of people, and on the high seat at the front, it was full of the elders of the Demon Courtyard, and the elder who spoke yesterday continued to stand up, and said majestically: "Today's rules are very simple, just this place, regardless of life or death,
The last three people standing are the winners, from now on, you can choose to quit, but whoever is in it, regardless of whether you are high or low, don't worry about different identities, only respect for the strong! ”
After the elder finished speaking, everyone below looked confused, whispering to each other, a little unclear. Lan Zeyun and Bai Yuxi looked at each other, she had thought about all kinds of today's assessment content, but what she never expected was that it was so simple...
Bai Yuxi frowned, her eyes were a little puzzled: "Hey, what kind of fame do you say they are doing, isn't this just a big fight, what's so rare!" ”
Lan Zeyun shook his head, and suddenly a trace of ominousness suddenly appeared in his heart: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, don't take it lightly." We'll see what happens! ”
But having said that, with so many people, none of them left the arena timidly, but in a moment, several elders used their spiritual power to completely seal the entire martial arts arena, which meant that this battle was about to break out.
About three quarters of an hour later, should everyone have found their own good partner, each in a group, Lan Zeyun naturally stood with Bai Yuxi, the two planned to wait and see first, so they avoided the center of the crowd and went around to a remote, unnoticeable small corner.
The scorching sun, the scorching heart, the surging and rolling heat swirled in the crowd, and everyone seemed to have something else in their eyes. After another half an hour, the sun was three poles, and there was finally a sound near the center. At first, everyone was still amicable and ready to watch. The duel is also one-on-one and slow.
Bai Yuxi stood on the side and watched, then yawned and said: "It's very simple, in this case, with your and my abilities, the top three are naturally no problem, you are the first, I am the second, and the third let them fight for it." ”
Lan Zeyun's face was solemn, and his eyes were full of disbelief and shock: "No! This... I'm afraid something big is going to happen, how can this be! ”
Bai Yuxi listened to Lan Zeyun's cold and serious expression, without a trace of relaxation, and immediately became cautious, approached Lan Zeyun and said, "What? Is there a problem? ”
"The elder said just now that life and death are at your own expense, that is to say, in this duel, there is no victory or defeat, only life and death! As long as they don't lose their ability to fight, it means that there is a chance to start again at any time, there are so many people here, as long as there is a little friction, it is very likely that someone will not be able to control it, and it is estimated that their lives will be in danger, are they crazy? Isn't this a call for us to kill each other! ”
Bai Yuxi immediately understood the meaning of Lan Zeyun's words, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became solemn. There are so many people here, what everyone is thinking in their hearts, outsiders can't understand it at all, if it is really controlled by **, it must be a bloody disaster!
"Cannibalism! They were the elders in the Demon Courtyard, and they dared to make such a decision, and Old Man Fu didn't stop it! Crazy must be crazy! ”
Bai Yuxi was a little anxious in her heart, she had been in the Demon Clan for so many years, although the Demon Clan had a bad reputation in the eyes of outsiders, and there were always riots, but she definitely didn't believe that these teachers who taught them benevolence, righteousness and etiquette on weekdays would let them kill each other!
Lan Zeyun's eyes wandered around, staring at every move around him: "Now is not the time to talk about this, we have to think of a way to stop the casualties, and the others will have the opportunity to ask for clarification in the future!" ”
