Chapter 3: Cage Bucket

Xian Bai was the second to leave, after he left, Gu Du stood in front of the courtyard gate, as long as he didn't talk to Xian Bai, he would die early and take care of his life, and if he continued to consume it so fearfully, he would have no mental strength.

I don't know where the cage fight is, I can't hear anything in the courtyard, and after about two quarters of an hour, the soul master came back with the palace guards, and pointed at Gu Du first without accident.

Out of the courtyard gate, walking towards the splendid palace, Gu Du clutched the chicken leg bones in his pocket, like clutching a life-saving straw.

The huge iron cage is about ten zhang in front of the palace, about one zhang high, about three zhang long and wide, there are holes in the bottom plate, several Tsing Yi Palace people are pouring water into the iron cage with wooden barrels, the light red water flows away from the holes, and the bottom of the iron cage seems to be a pool.

The steps in front of the palace are divided into three levels, the first level platform sits twenty-four white-robed soul masters, the second level platform sits ten yellow-robed soul masters, and the third, that is, on the platform in front of the palace, there are three black-robed soul masters.

Behind each Soul Master stood one to three people, dressed in robes of the same color as their corresponding Soul Master, except that instead of a crown, a headscarf was used to tie their hair.

On the right side of the iron cage was covered with a snow-white sheet, and on the left stood two teenagers, one of whom was Xian Bai, and when Gu Du approached, Xian Bai nodded at him.

After washing the bottom plate of the iron cage, the Tsing Yi Palace people threw a dagger into the iron cage, and the white-robed soul master who led the team waved his hand, and Gu Du and the others were pushed into the iron cage by the palace guards in turn.

Gu Du was the first to enter the iron cage, but he stayed away from the dagger and chose a corner.

On the second-level platform, the handsome Soul Master, the corners of his mouth once again hooked into a smile.

The iron cage was locked from the outside, and the white-robed soul master who led the team returned to the candidate's courtyard with the palace guard, I don't know who said it, a young man leaned over and grabbed the dagger, and slammed it into the chest of the person opposite.

The screams rang out, the screams spread, mixed with cries, and Gu Du fell to the ground, squinting slightly while observing, waiting.

The boy who grabbed the dagger first was torn off his neck by another teenager, and after the dagger fell on the bottom plate, it was picked up by a young girl and stabbed into the stomach of another teenager......

Eight people quickly fell one after another, and the last one standing was the young man who had been stabbed in the stomach, covering the wound on his stomach with one hand and holding a blood-dripping dagger in the other, and shouted to the steps of the palace: "I have won!" ”

All the people outside the cage were silent, and the young man was a little dazed, and shouted again: "I won!" Heal me! ”

Gu Du stood up, took out the chicken leg bone from his pocket, and approached carefully.

Gu Du could feel that the blood in his whole body was boiling, and his right hand holding the chicken leg bone was trembling, and he walked very slowly, because the bottom plate was very slippery, and there were corpses obstructing him, so he couldn't miss the slightest.

"I won!" The young man with the dagger shouted again, he couldn't understand why no one was paying attention to him.

"Behind you!" The boy standing next to Xian Bai suddenly spoke, he witnessed Xian Bai win in the same way, he despised this behavior, so he reminded the boy with the dagger.

Xian Bai knocked down the young man next to him with one punch, and then rode on top of him, punching one punch after another, but after a few hits, he was dragged up by the palace guards and knelt on the ground.

The young man with the dagger turned back suddenly, glaring at Gu Du in shock, Gu Du's whole body stiffened, this young man was a head taller than him, a thick circle, although he was stabbed in the stomach, but in a face-to-face fight, Gu Du would definitely not win!

"Gu Du!" Xian Bai shouted: "He's injured!" Hide from him! Wait for his blood to run dry! ”

"Ah......" The young man with the dagger roared with a hideous face, raised the dagger and rushed towards Gu Du.

But he was so anxious, or so angry, that he tripped over a corpse, slipped by the blood on the bottom plate, and fell sideways.

Gu Duyan was in a hurry, and the moment he fell to the ground, the chicken leg bone in his hand was accurately inserted into the opponent's throat.

"Win!" Someone said a word, and someone from Tsing Yi Palace came to unlock the lock.

Gu Du walked out of the iron cage, and the people from Tsing Yi Palace pointed to Xian Bai's side and said, "Please wait over there." ”

Gu Du hadn't come back to his senses yet, and he didn't feel that the tone and wording of the palace man's words had changed at all, but he walked towards Xian Bai stiffly.

Someone asked, "Gu Du, did you give Xian Bai's chicken leg bones?" ”

Gu Du stopped, feeling that the voice was coming from the palace, so he turned to face the palace and replied loudly, "Yes!" ”

No one spoke anymore, Gu Du waited for a while, then came back to his senses and walked to Xian Bai's side and stood up.

Xian Bai was also pressed by the palace guards, and the young man who was beaten by him was also pressed by the palace guards.

The third team came, and someone said, "Search." ”

The ten candidates were all searched, and the man said, "Gu Du, among these ten people, you can designate one person to win and replace Meng Yuan." ”

Meng Yuan was the one who reminded the young man with the dagger just now.

Meng Yuan was shocked and asked, "Why?" I'm the winner of the first game! ”

The man replied, "You have interfered with the selection and have lost your qualification to be a child waiter, so you can only compete again." ”

Meng Yuan's eyes were flustered, but then he glared at Gu Du with a resentful gaze.

The man said again: "Gu Du, you choose someone." ”

Ten people all looked at Gu Du with eager eyes, and Gu Du said, "I choose the third girl from the left." ”

The handsome yellow-robed soul master smiled again.

The selected girl cried with joy, and the people of Tsing Yi Palace stepped forward to guide: "Please wait over there." ”

The girl ran in front of Gu Du, bowed deeply, and then turned around and stood beside Gu Du, wiping her tears without stopping.

Meng Yuan and the other nine people were sent into the iron cage, and the girl said to Gu Du: "Thank you, my name is Lixia." ”

Gu Du said in a low voice, "Don't speak." ”

Lixia was startled and quickly closed her mouth.

The cage fight began again, and soon it ended, and Meng Yuan won again.

Walking from the cage gate, Meng Yuan stared at Gu Du with resentful eyes all the way, but Gu Du just lowered his head and looked at his feet.

At noon, there was a low table and a cushion in front of all the winners, and the food was a large bowl of rice, a plate of fragrant meat, a crispy fish, a plate of vegetables, and a bowl of soup.

After eating, there was a fragrant tea.

At noon, the cage bucket began again, and until dusk, when the cage bucket was all over, and all the victors stood in two rows facing the palace.

The handsome yellow-robed soul master stood up, turned around and saluted the palace, and said, "High Priest, I want to take care of it. ”

The high priest said, "Chu Qin, your child servant is the only daughter of Lord Shangguan, Shangguan He. ”

Chu Qin said: "Shangguan He did not participate in the selection, forgive my subordinates for not being able to obey my orders, I want to take care of it." ”
