At the same time, with 20,000 red pine wood to build the ceiling and back wall, three zhang high, write three big characters of gilding "champion ring", there are twenty chairs below, there are eighteen rings in charge of the ring, the two big chairs in the middle are the chief of the Qin Ci Shangguan Hong and Ruobing, the remaining three sides of the ring are respectively placed fifty copper ring drums, the gongs and drummers are all majestic and eight-sided, the right side of the ring is provided with two big gongs, the roof is surrounded by colorful flags to the wind, the four corners of the upper four corners are inserted a three-five meters square nine days Xianglong big yellow flag, by the wind whistling and flying, The dignity and nobility of the royal family are always displayed. The two sides of the ring have already laid out the steps up and down, and they are guarded by twenty masters and twenty soldiers.
The ring is guarded by 200 soldiers, and at the same time, 100 carefully selected masters are responsible for acting in groups to prevent all kinds of accidents. There are three areas directly in front of the ring, Shangguan Hong is in the middle, Aobai is on the left, and the third-party hero is on the right.
The third party is like loose sand, squeezing and rubbing, regardless of priority. The Ao worship side can be seen at a glance is roughly divided into three parts, because of the different states and temperaments, some people are selected from the army, walking, standing, sitting and lying are all in the military camp, and some people are the silver-clothed messengers and masters of the faceless mystery sect, in addition to the obvious traces left by the long-term mask on the face, everyone is arrogant, disdain to be in the company of the people around them, and the other part of the people are martial arts masters from all over the world, and they seem to be scattered. Shangguan Hong's side is different, according to the twenty groups divided by Kong Ruobing, they sit in turn, the martial arts masters and seniors in each group lead the team in front, and the officials of the Flying Dragon Guard Mansion control the overall situation of the group at the back of each group of teams, and give unified orders. At the same time, the team is guarded by 2,000 soldiers around the team, so that outsiders are not allowed to approach easily, and at the same time, it is convenient to prevent the participating teams from causing trouble.
At three o'clock, the auspicious time has arrived, and the fight will start immediately. But listen to from far and near, all kinds of firecrackers are like bursting beans, instantly exploded, many are in the sky of colorful flowers, there are also many in the near crisp sound, there are more than 200 fireworks in the ring, to the distance. At the same time, the dozens of gong and drum teams invited also worked hard in a timely manner, shaking their heads and puffing up their cheeks to blow and beat. Dozens of teams suddenly rushed out around, there were lion dancers, dragon dances, dancing lanterns, flying up and down, jumping left and right, suddenly a noisy and enthusiastic scene, the scene is called a prosperous scene, so lively. Some of the surrounding crowd tiptoed, some pulled their necks, some lifted the child above their heads, and some drilled forward, all of them were all striving to see everything around them, for fear that if they looked a few times, they would miss this once-in-a-century event. Some people from all sides say that they have lived for decades and have never seen such a scene, and it is really worth the trip, while others say that they have been in the capital for a long time and have never seen this kind of battle.
After a commotion, but listening to the drums on the stage, the gongs sounded, attracting people's eyes and attention, the crowd gradually quieted down, and then, the eunuch Xi Gonggong next to the emperor read out the holy decree: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, the life of the world, the four seas are determined, all the people are happy, thinking that the world is the livelihood, the heavens are prosperous, and now the champion is open, the selection of materials for the country, and the ...... for the dynasty to show the emperor's grace and stabilize the world, Qin this!" ”
Everyone knelt down to receive the decree and thanked him, and then, as the emperor Qinfeng Jade Qilin, the Flying Dragon Guard's Mansion Zhongyi Hou Shangguan Hong walked to the front of the stage and announced that the champion was opened, and Master Fuxian announced the rules for setting up the ring for the champion.
A total of more than 3,000 people signed up, and after preliminary screening, more than 2,000 people met the conditions. The champion is divided into four stages, the first stage is divided into 10 days, divided into 20 groups, the top 10 winners enter the next stage of 200 people; The second stage of ten days, divided into ten groups, each group of the top five winners into the next round of 50 people, the third stage of five days, divided into five groups, each group of the top two winners into the fourth stage of the champion finals of the 10 people, into the finals of the 10 people in five days to catch the fight to determine the champion of the champion.
Then, Master Fuxian announced that on the first day of the competition, the first group and the second group will compete within the group, and so on, and the first round of screening will end on the tenth day. As a result, the grandest champion since Kangxi's accession to the throne, which caused a sensation throughout the country, was opened. Because Shangguan Hong's side was originally in the dominant position, he had already done detailed analysis and careful arrangement in the arrangement of the competition personnel and the arrangement of troops, and naturally occupied the situation on the field, basically belonging to the strongest to fight the strong, the strong to fight the weak, the people on the Ao side can almost be said to be abused, no achievements, and those who can win are rare, plus so many levels in the future, it is estimated that it will not be cheap. There is a champion fight here, Sheng Ying is not idle, he is very energetic next to Shangguan Hong, listening to Shangguan Hong explain to him what are the people of the faceless fan sect sitting in the Ao worship party, it is extremely convenient and clear to look at the stage and the audience, Sheng Ying wrote them down one by one, and then secretly retreated, and arranged for every three masters to stare at a person from the faceless fan sect, no matter what he did, he couldn't leave sight of eating, drinking, and Lazar, wait for the right time, act carefully, no matter when, directly take it down when he is unprepared, Cannibalize the people with a lower level, and the three fights and one will still have the advantage after all, and those silver-clothed messengers with higher martial arts will be left to people like Master Fuxian when the time is ripe to directly kill them all.
In this way, on the first day of the champion's fight, there were 30 people in Aobai, among the 200 people in the first and second groups, only 2 people won, and the others were all injured, and the other ten faceless people disappeared for no reason, so angry that Aobai screamed and scolded for being unfair, and at the same time, Meng Yiren was also angry at home, scolding those who disappeared at the critical moment, where to eat and drink and have fun.
How could Shangguan Hong let Meng Yiren be born easily, as soon as the champion was over, he went directly to Meng's Mansion and rushed to eat. While eating, he said: "Father-in-law, the food in your house is really better than my cook, and in the future, it is indispensable to disturb your old man, report to you first, and you will also eat your father-in-law." ”
Meng Yiren was angry, and complained again and again in his heart: "You're really welcome, it's really my opponent, you are quite comfortable, you are here to eat and drink, I still have a lot of things waiting here, and someone will come over to discuss it in a while, how is this good." But he said, "What is not in the way, what is not in the way, even if it comes." ”
Shangguan Hong thanked him again and again, eating and drinking like a storm, wiped his mouth after eating, and went to the side to drink tea and eat fruits, but he didn't leave, thinking in his heart, I will spend it on your side, during the day your traitorous friends and the like dare not come, and I will let you live in peace at night, I want to see how you behave, seeing that the second watch has passed, Meng Yiren is getting more and more anxious, Shangguan Hong understands that Meng Yiren's unsightly comrades are coming, and I should also prepare for them!
