As the first grand event in Eastern Chu, the scene has always been magnificent, and this year it has been hotly discussed because of the comeback of His Royal Highness the Martial God of Eastern Chu, and it is unprecedented.

The morning light dewed slightly, and the foot of Chonglou Mountain was already crowded with people, and there was a black pressure under the stargazing platform, all of which were people who came from all over Dachu to compete. It is said that the number of people this year has exceeded 1,000 people, including many children of families and young talents who want to make a name for themselves in this star-picking event, and there are also many soy sauce langs who come to fish in troubled waters and want to see the style of "Dongchu Martial God".

Stargazing platform, as the name suggests, takes the meaning of looking at the stars from afar, echoes with the "star-picking platform" on the top of Chonglou Mountain, each star-picking event starts from the star-gazing platform to the end of the star-picking platform, the reincarnation is complete, and life is immortal.

The stage was full of royal families and powerful ministers of Eastern Chu, condescending, looking down on the crowd. There is a person standing high in the center of the stage, handsome, with a long body and a jade body, wearing a silver armor, majestic and majestic. The morning sun shone on the silver armor, shining with a brilliant light, like a god.

With such an outstanding demeanor, if it is not His Royal Highness the "Eastern Chu Martial God", who else can it be?

At this moment, he stood on the stargazing platform with a scroll in his hand, and was reading out the schedule and competition system of this year's "Heavy Building Picking Stars", with a calm and powerful voice, and the sound was in the ears, which made people unconsciously listen to it.

Everyone in the audience whispered, whispering about the past rumors about the last "Eastern Chu Martial God".

Xia Taozhi, dressed as Gu Sheng, stood quietly in the crowd of people under the stage, ignoring the discussion around her and not caring about it. Because those are not him, all the future and past in their mouths have nothing to do with the person standing on the stage at this moment. She bent the corners of her lips slightly, looking at the person on the stage from afar, and a strange feeling was inexplicably born in her heart. Only she knows the true face of the person on the stage, what kind of ice glass came into the world? What is warm and elegant? What a gentleman? is obviously an arrogant, arrogant, and sanctimonious hypocrite.

The "hypocrite" on the stage finally finished reading the schedule, and several small chamberlains came up to the stage, took the scroll in his hand, and carried a longbow in front of him.

I heard someone in the crowd whispering, "Hey, do you see? That's the famous "Armor-Piercing Silver Bow" ......"

Xia Taozhi looked at it, and sure enough, it was a pitch-black longbow, with silver patterns painted on the bow body, shining silver, and it looked extremely heavy.

"This last step is to ignite the spark." One of them seemed to know quite a bit about the inside story, and his face was proud. Someone next to him immediately asked curiously, "What is Xinghuo?" The man pointed to the highest point of the stardom, and Xia Taozhi also looked up, and saw a long pole on the high platform, and at the top of the pole was a brazier. The man said: "That is the spark, and it is also the sign of the opening of each event, and the spark will be lit for three days and three nights until the end of the event." ”

Everyone suddenly realized, "Oh...... It turns out that His Royal Highness the King of Tomb is going to bend his bow and arrows and ignite the spark......"

The man said: "The previous martial gods have their own style, and His Royal Highness King Ling is the best at using bows and arrows, so he ignites the spark by bending the bow and shooting arrows. I heard that the last "Martial God" Pei Renqing Pei Yuma used a long knife to provoke a fire, and shot the long knife directly into the brazier with one arm to ignite the spark. ”

Everyone was taken aback, and there were such strange people? They expressed their admiration.

Xia Taozhi couldn't help but roll her eyes, it was really rare and weird, what would make the long knife so strange? She grew up in the mountains, and I don't know how many times she saw her master shoot down the fruits from the trees with a long knife for her to eat. She didn't believe that this Pei Juma's long knife could make it even more powerful than her master.

Song Yuanxi, who was on the stage, lifted the longbow with one hand, took a feather arrow that had been lit from the hand of the little attendant, pressed it on the string, and pulled the bow away.

Xia Taozhi was a little worried, if she wanted to throw a sword to ignite the fire, she believed that it would be absolutely fine with the strength of the tsundere prince, but she had never seen him shoot an arrow, so she didn't know how he was good at archery? After all, the former tomb king Song Yuanxi was famous for his archery skills.

As if sensing her gaze, the man on the stage turned his head slightly to glance at her. His face was blurred because he was standing too far away, but she could tell at a glance that there was a smile in his eyes. As if to say: "Give Prince Ben a good ......"

He stretched the bowstring to the full, as tight as a full moon, and then his fingers loosened, and the feather arrow left the string. I only heard a "boom" in mid-air, and the feather arrow turned into a light and shadow that pierced the morning light and shot straight at the brazier.

With a "bang", the feather arrow entered the basin and the spark ignited.

Everyone in the audience was in an uproar and clapped their hands and cheered.

Song Yuanxi raised the longbow in his hand above his head and shouted to everyone in the audience: "The spark has been burned, and the grand event has begun!" May I recruit good talents and rejuvenate the country! May God bless me with great Chu and a prosperous world! ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "May God bless me with great Chu, prosperous and brilliant!" ”

There is a kind of person like this, who seems to have no effort at all, and casually goes to that station, and has the posture of a king who is proud of the world.

Xia Taozhi had never seen such a tsundere prince, she only felt that the person on the high platform seemed to be really elegant, she unconsciously hooked her lips and smiled, and felt from the bottom of her heart that the tsundere prince at this moment was indeed very handsome.

Princess Shuyi, who was sitting on the stage, was even more excited, stood up regardless of her image, and shouted like a nymphomaniac: "Brother Xi is so powerful...... Brother Hee is so good......"

So, her face sank again, and she scolded secretly: Die tsundere, really love to be in the limelight!

"Heavy Building Picking Stars" is divided into three competitions for a period of three days, which are selected for 100, Jin Kui and Pick Stars.

Pick 100, as the name suggests, to screen out 100 winners from the crowd of contestants, this selection of 100, compared to horseback riding, archery and fist and foot kung fu, to the ring will be martial, a showdown, the winner will advance.

Jin Kui, only the first 100 winners are eligible to participate, enter Chonglou Mountain for a day and a night of trials, pass the many levels set up in the mountain, and finally enter the last level and pick up stars.

In the end, the three people who won the star platform, whether they won or not, were already among the top three, and they had the opportunity to become the Great Chuliang general to serve the country.

Today is the first one, pick 100.

All the contestants were divided into ten groups, each group of about 100 people, respectively, for the riding and archery test, only the comprehensive score passed, eligible to participate in the next ring martial arts, otherwise directly eliminated. Among these people, some have participated in the competition many times, and some are for the first time, but they are all eager to try, hoping that they can get ahead and become a usable talent in Da Chu.

Each person has a bamboo plaque on their waist, with their name and number on it. Xia Taozhi looked at her bamboo plaque, which read: Gu Sheng, thirty-three.

Of these, three were her formidable enemies. The first is the eldest grandson of Ning Guohou Xiao Hu, Xiao Lianxu, who is also the nominal cousin of Miss Xia Er. The second is the nephew of the hussar general Xue Wu, Xue Cheng. This third one is the person whom the tsundere prince repeatedly reminded last night that he must be careful with, Xuanyuan Geng, the doorman of the East Palace. Needless to say, since he is from the East Palace, he must be the crown prince Song Yuansheng.

This Xuanyuan Geng was originally a native of the rivers and lakes, a Zhiyuan Taoist who inherited Wanol Mountain, and was skilled in martial arts, and later became the guest of the prince of the East Palace. Song Yuansheng has always wanted to find an opportunity to send Xuanyuan Geng into the army, so that he can use it for himself in the future. I waited three years for this opportunity. Song Yuansheng's wishful thinking is playing well, not only can he use this "star-picking" event to justifiably let Xuanyuan Geng enter the army as a general, but also take the opportunity to get rid of Song Yuanxi, who has lost his martial arts, killing two birds with one stone!

Xia Taozhi searched for the three people in the crowd, except for Xue Cheng, who was in the same group as her, the other two were scattered elsewhere. She quickly found Xiao Lianxu, in the crowd of people directly in front of her. Xiao Lianxu's appearance was a little feminine, and the expression on his face was sorrowful, as if he was impatient with such a competition, and the bamboo sign on his waist read: Xiao Lianxu, one hundred and ninety-eight.

Her gaze continued to search the crowd when she suddenly shuddered and looked back. I saw a young man standing in the crowd behind him, with broad eyebrows and a gloomy expression, looking at her with half of his face sideways. It's just a simple look, but it exudes a majestic stare from the bones.

This person is the doorman of the East Palace, Xuanyuan Geng, and the bamboo plaque on his waist reads: two.

Xia Taozhi's heart was cold, it was going to be bad! Didn't he see that I was transfigurable?

But when I thought about it, I didn't think it would be. The tsundere prince's human skin mask is very realistic, she almost has to believe that she is a handsome young man, how can others see it at a glance?

So she looked at Xuanyuan Geng very calmly, and after a while, Xuanyuan Geng looked away.

She breathed a sigh of relief, cold sweat broke out on her back, this person's eyes were really terrifying.

"Hey, little brother, are you alright?" A voice beside him asked softly.

She turned her head to see that Xue Cheng didn't know when he actually stood beside her, he was only fifteen years old, his handsome face was still a little green, looking at her and asking with some concern: "Your face is not very good, is it uncomfortable?" ”

Xia Taozhi looked down at the bamboo sign on his waist: Xue Cheng, seventy-seven. With a smile on his face, he said politely and detachedly: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern." ”

Xue Cheng said again: "My surname is Xue, and my single name is a Cheng character, a person from Chujing." I don't know what this little brother is called? ”

Xia Taozhi listened to his "little brother" on the left and "little brother" on the right, and she was very tired of this kind of person who reported his family as soon as he came up. What is close to now, will you show mercy in the ring for a while?

She said coldly: "The surname is Gu Mingsheng, a native of Yunzhou." ”

Xue Cheng heard the indifference in her tone, looked a little embarrassed, stepped aside, and didn't say anything more.

Horseback archery is not the best at it for Xia Taozhi, but it is not weak. After two competitions, he got a medium score and was able to successfully advance to the boxing and foot competition.

In the afternoon, after a short rest, the ring competition will begin.
