Chapter 069: One to Twenty
In front of the huge archway in the utility yard stood a pair of young men in gray robes, they saw me and Feng Saiqing coming over, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "I have seen my uncle, I have seen the wind seniors." ”
I looked at those people and said, "You know me."
One of the leading people said, "In this North Heavenly Gate, there are only a few seniors who can wear purple robes, and the younger ones are only Shi Shuzu." ”
I smiled and nodded, and they invited me and Kazekiyo in.
The people who showed us along the way said that I and Feng Saiqing were the last to come, and the people from the other veins had already arrived.
I asked if we were late.
The man shook his head and said, "It's not too late, it's still half an hour before the game, and they're early." ”
Soon we came to a huge flat land, carved out of several high mountains, and in the center of the platform there was a huge jousting platform with a diameter of several hundred meters, and around it there were several camps of people.
They were dressed in different colours, and it was easy to tell which one they were.
Standing at the entrance of the martial arts arena, the people of the five veins looked at us one after another, and the five elders bowed their hands to me at the same time and said, "Meet Uncle Shi"
I returned the salute.
Then all the disciples of the Northern Heavenly Gate bowed down in unison and "greeted the master and uncle." ”
I nodded "um", without the slightest hint of cowardice.
On the contrary, a natural majesty unconsciously emanated from my body, and I was used to them calling me Uncle Ancestor.
Feng Saiqing reminded me next to me, "Their few senior uncles, as well as the thousands of disciples of the senior uncles, have completely isolated you, and when you compete for a while, you can do it yourself." ”
I nodded "um" and entered the arena with Kazekiyo.
We arrived at the north seat of the tournament platform, where there were seven seats, and on them sat seven old men dressed in gold armor.
They look like ancient generals.
Feng Saiqing said to me next to him, "The Dao armor they are wearing, and the back of their Dao armor has a Tai Chi pattern, these people are from the Vinaya Sect, and they are today's chief examiners. ”
I nodded and saluted.
Those people also nodded at me, and didn't call me uncle.
Feng Saiqing said, "Each of those seven old guys is a peer of the head of the sect, you have to call them uncle." ”
I nodded, and then added, "Meet the seven uncles." ”
They just nodded.
I could tell that each of those seven people was a respected old monster.
In the back row of the seats of the seven judges, there is a seat in the low row in the front row, and there is no one to sit for the time being, Feng Sai Qing said, "The high place is the master of the main gate, he didn't come today is empty, this low place is yours, you can go and sit." ”
I said "um" and walked over there.
As I walked to my seat, I also looked around, and there were five or six people next to each elder, and they looked extraordinarily energetic.
In the Baiyun lineage, there are six people standing next to Bai Jingxuan, including Lu Chengyi, and a few disciples of Baiyunguan who are very close to him, it seems that the Baiyunguan participants in the Heavenly Master Competition this year are all Lu Chengyi's people, and the competition will start in a while, I want to avoid them far away.
I looked at the other four veins, and the young men were also looking at me, and I could tell that most of them were hostile.
After sitting down on that seat, Feng Saiqing whispered to me, "You are a celebrity of Tianmen, and you are also known as Beiqi, and you are just famous, no one has seen your strength, so many people are not very afraid of you, but they think that defeating you in this Heavenly Master Tournament is a good opportunity to make a name for yourself." ”
"When you come up in a while, you're really going to be the target of everyone."
I smiled awkwardly, too.
As soon as I sat down for a while, an old man in a gray robe slowly walked out of the examiner's seat.
Next to the examiner's seat, there has always been an inconspicuous seat, and the old man was sitting on that inconspicuous seat just now.
Feng Saiqing said to me, "That person's name is Yang Guangxia, and he is the elder of the Sunyard for three consecutive terms, and his rank is not lower than the seven elders of the Precept Sect, but because of the relationship of the Sunhouse Courtyard, he can only sit on this position. ”
"In the North Heavenly Gate, the Precept Sect looks down on the Sundries Sect the most, and several times they have proposed to the Chief Gate Master that this Heavenly Master Race be changed from the Sundries Courtyard to the Precept Sect, but they were all rejected by the General Gate Master."
After Yang Guangxia walked out slowly, he cleared his throat, and then said in an extremely thick voice, "Beitianmen, the annual Heavenly Master Competition is about to start, and the participating disciples are now leaving their respective sects and going to the competition platform." ”
Soon, the disciples in the five veins slowly walked out, and the total number of disciples in the five veins was exactly twenty.
Among them, there are six people in Baiyunguan, three people in the first vein of Lanhuo, three people in the first vein of Qingxian, and four people in each of the two veins of Black Mountain and Jinshui.
When those people came to power, a figure suddenly popped out of Baiyun's veins, and he ran directly at me, and it was none other than Li Yunyao.
Bai Jingxuan was about to stop her, but with a wave of his hand, he was afraid that it would be even worse to disturb the surroundings, so he took his hand back.
Li Yunyao's speed was very fast, and she landed in front of me like a butterfly and said, "Don't you have any weapons?"
I shook my head and said, "No." ”
Li Yunyao handed me the saber in his hand and asked, "Do you know how to use a sword?"
I shook my head and said, "No, I'm going to be empty-handed, I don't know how to use a sword, and it's a burden to take the sword in my hand." ”
Li Yunyao thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then you have to be careful." ”
I said thank you to Li Yunyao.
At this time, Yang Guangxia's voice came, "Senior nephew Zhang Mu, please also ask you to board the competition platform." ”
I am a generation younger than Yang Guangxia, but he spoke to me very politely, with a smile on his face, his voice was rich, but there was no majesty.
I bowed to Yang Guangxia, and then slowly walked up the steps to the competition platform.
On this huge arena, everyone stood in six camps, and only one person was on my side.
As soon as I stood on the stage, Lu Chengyi smiled at me and said, "Uncle Ancestor, no one will interrupt our discussion today, I will take the exercises of Uncle Ancestor well." ”
As he spoke, a hint of evil flashed across his face, and it seemed that he was determined to target me.
Looking at the people of other sects, although they didn't say anything, they were also staring at me, and I dare to conclude that as soon as the gong sounded for the start of the competition, their primary target was me.
I took a deep breath and lifted the momentum around me, I couldn't afford to be the slightest bit timid.
If I want to go down the mountain to see Zu Xiwei in advance and live up to the expectations that Master and Wu Jiaqi have for me, I have to win this game and be the receiver next year.
The competition didn't start so quickly, and after we stood up, Yang Guangxia reported the list of contestants in turn and recited their origins aloud.
The people who participated in the competition today, some of them were from the bottom of the mountain with gold stickers, and some were born in Tianmen and grew up in Tianmen's local disciples, but no matter which one they are, they are all rare geniuses, everyone became a heavenly master in their twenties, and I am the only one who is eighteen years old.
After everyone's names were read, Yang Guangxia asked the disciples of the Sunyard to come to the stage for a Taoist performance.
Their Taoist performances, the surrounding five vein disciples naturally looked down on them, and many people also made a "sigh" sound, cheering for those disciples who performed.
The disciples who performed rolled down one by one, they endured the embarrassment, finished the show, and then walked off the stage in the midst of everyone's "sighs".
I didn't think they were ridiculous, because I came from them too.
It's just that I'm a little luckier than them.
Thinking of this, I applauded them, not mocking, but sincere applause.
"Bang Bang Bang"
As I clapped, some of the disciples who were performing looked at me, and I nodded solemnly at them, and they also gave me a grateful look.
At this time, Lu Chengyi said: "It seems that of all the people present, only Shi Shuzu thinks that the standard of the performance is very high." ”
Many people next to him also laughed.
I looked at Lu Chengyi and said with a smile, "Although their cultivation is not as high as yours, their magic skills are not as strong as yours, and their status is not as noble as yours, but there are some precious things on them that people like you don't have." ”
Lu Chengyi asked me "what"
I said, "Diligence, hard work, and the obsession of never giving up, they work hard to perform, just to show the best side of themselves to everyone, maybe they can find a chance to leave the hospital, they have their own dreams, and no one is qualified to laugh at their dreams, haven't you heard a saying called don't bully the poor young man"
As soon as I said this, all the disciples of the Utility Courtyard looked at me with grateful eyes, and I was probably the first person to speak for the Miscellaneous Courtyard in so many years.
Yang Guangxia's brows were also furrowed.
Lu Chengyi snorted and said, "We are not qualified to be geniuses, they are idiots, why are we not qualified to laugh at idiots?"
As soon as Lu Chengyi said this, Yang Guangxia "hummed" and said, "Lu Chengyi, what you said is a bit excessive. ”
Lu Chengyi also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly surrendered his hand to Yang Guangxia to make amends, but his expression did not show much respect for Yang Guangxia.
But fortunately, Yang Guangxia and the sunyard can get by.
Yang Guangxia didn't let us quarrel all the time, so he took a deep breath and said, "Okay, the performance is over, and the official Heavenly Master Competition will begin, and the gong will be sounded."
"Boom"
A crisp gong sounded, and the disciples of the five veins drew their swords at the same time, and then pointed the tips of their swords at me in unison, and they all stood together.
I'm going to have a pair of twenty now
