Chapter 86: The Dinner Party
A month is not a long time, fleeting, after the beginning of spring, the much-anticipated two big competitions, naturally also came as scheduled.
On that day, the grass is smoky and the wind is warm, and the snow is clear.
Dabi was held in front of the two Taoist pavilions, on a giant stone platform that had been built for many years. This stone platform is made of some special spirit stone, which cannot be split by a knife or broken by a hammer, which is suitable for monks to compete.
Before dawn, thousands of spectators of all colors gathered around the stone platform, most of whom were residents of the island. However, although the scene was crowded, it was also orderly, and there was no chaos.
It can be said that on this Chongsheng Island, whether it is an ordinary resident or a sect monk, for them, in a year, I am afraid that nothing will be more exciting than watching the two sects meet martial arts.
...
Because he had previously ranked first in the martial arts of the Four Palaces, Chu Xuan was naturally regarded as a representative of the Dao One Sect and participated in the two great competitions this time.
With him, there were seven new disciples including Luo Lan and Zhou Zi who had lost to him before, a total of eight people. In addition, a total of ten of the sixteen hall masters under the jurisdiction of the four halls came, and most of these people Chu Xuan recognized, and Zhu Yan was also among them. The rest were the best of the twelve disciples of the older generation whose names he didn't know.
"The first step of the martial arts, draw lots to fight!" a familiar voice suddenly came from the stone platform.
Chu Xuan followed the prestige, and it was actually the old man Zhang in the vegetable garden again! However, there was also an old woman of the same age standing beside him, dressed as a Dao aunt, probably a referee sent by the Dao Martial Sect next door.
Since the two cases each only sent thirty people to participate in the competition, the top five of them were selected to enter the cabinet, and it was a one-on-one draw, so theoretically speaking, if Chu Xuan wanted to enter the finals in this big competition, he only needed to compete four times at most.
As soon as Old Man Zhang said that, the two sects immediately sent fifteen people to the stage to draw lots, and these fifteen people were all arranged in advance. Because Chu Xuan was the top of the list of new disciples in the four halls, he also got a lottery qualification.
"Hmm, how can it be such a strange name?" On the stone platform, Chu Xuan put his hand into the wooden box, took out a wrapped silk piece, opened it to look, but saw two words written on it: Ma Er.
He was standing aside in a daze, but he heard the old man Zhang next to him say loudly:
"Next, I announce that this time the two sects of the Holy Sect will officially begin! In the first game, Lin Xuan of the Dao Sect will be the first of the Dao Sect, and Ma Er of the Dao Martial Sect will be opposed!"
"Okay, okay!
"Fight, fight!"
There were bursts of cheers from the audience, and the audience couldn't wait.
Chu Xuan was stunned, he didn't expect it to be his turn in the first game. I secretly said in my heart, huh, it seems that I have to keep a few more hands, so that the opponents behind me can't see the truth and reality!
Raising his head, he saw a dark fat man standing not far away, with a fat head and big ears, a strong body, wearing the costume of a disciple of the Daowu Sect, it was Ma Er.
"Before the game, the two of you have time to set up the formation with half a pillar of incense, please. Beside Old Man Zhang, the old Daoist of the Dao Martial Sect suddenly said.
When the fat man Ma Er heard this, he didn't say a word, and immediately bent down and got busy on the stone platform. Chu Xuan stood aside with his hands folded, carefully watching how he set up the formation.
"What, don't you use the formation?" asked the old Dao Gu on the side a little strangely.
Chu Xuan shook his head and didn't answer, and the old lady saw that he didn't want to say, so he didn't ask anymore.
On the other side, the fat man was busy for a long time, and finally finished arranging the formation, got up and looked at Chu Xuan, and found that the other party didn't make any moves, first a little strange, and then laughed a few times, and mocked: "Tsk, what a stupid thing, you don't even use the formation, do you still use it in this game?"
Chu Xuan smiled and said, "Second Brother Ma, that's not what you said, can't you say that you have been busy for so long, and you are all busy for nothing?"
"Don't be ashamed!" Ma Fatzi glanced at him, immediately used his body, quickly flew into the air, took out a spirit stone from his arms, put it in his palm and crushed it.
I saw that the crushed stone powder fell from the sky one after another in an instant, and in a short time, countless layers of light arrays of five or six zhang were born around the stone platform, like a curtain, surrounding Chu Xuan.
"Wow!
Many viewers in the audience exclaimed, such a scene is still eye-catching.
"Hahaha, this low-level formation also wants to trap me?" Chu Xuan stood in the middle of the formation and couldn't help laughing.
This kind of formation is very similar to what he learned in Nanjianmen at the beginning, it is all based on a spirit stone as the eye of the formation, crushing it to lead out of the whole formation. But--this kind of formation is really not clever, because there are too many flaws, it is good to scare those who have not seen it, but it is not difficult for Chu Xuan at all.
After laughing, he rushed straight into the sky, and instantly came to the fat man, only stretched out one hand, and with the strength of his palm, he grabbed the other party's neck.
"Second Brother Ma, I think you overlooked one thing. Chu Xuan smiled slightly, "Your formation has light curtains on all sides, but there is no one above, how can you trap people like this?"
Ma Fatzi was pinched by him, his face turned red, he couldn't breathe, and he hurriedly stretched out his hands to break the other party's hand that was holding his neck, but the other party's palm was like an iron tong, and he couldn't use his strength.
Chu Xuan didn't want to offend people too much, so he pinched the other party's neck while moving his body down quickly, and when he landed on the stage, he gently put him down.
I saw that the underground light curtain shrank closer and closer, as if it wanted to entangle the two of them.
"Second Brother Ma, shouldn't you accept the formation?" Chu Xuan said to Ma Fatzi.
"Ahem, I... I throw in the towel!"
The fat man coughed and rubbed his neck with his hands. As he spoke, he took out a spirit stone from his arms and crushed it, and the light curtain of the surrounding Dao suddenly disappeared.
"Okay, then thank you Second Brother Ma for your mercy. Chu Xuan clasped his hands and saluted.
Ma Fatzi said angrily: "If you win, you win, and if I lose, I lose, you don't have to pretend." With that, he shook off the dust on his body and walked away.
After the first battle, there was no longer any matter of Chu Xuan all morning, so he came to the stage, found a position with a good view, and quietly watched the other disciples on the stage compete.
After watching a few rounds, I suddenly found a familiar figure on the stage.
"Good guy, sure enough, I met you!" Chu Xuan was secretly happy in his heart.
That person was Xia Qinghan. I saw that she had a high bun on her head, was dressed in a green robe, stepped on soap-colored boots, and still held the soft whip she had when she first saw her.
Looking at her appearance, her brows are tightly locked, and her face is not very good-looking, it is estimated that she lost the little white tiger a few days ago, which caused her to be depressed for several days.
"Girl, have you laid out the formation?" Xia Qinghan was opposite, and a young disciple of the Dao One Sect laughed. It seems that everyone can tell her gender.
"Dengzi, look for death!"
Xia Qinghan was already in a bad mood, and the other party dared to call her a girl, undoubtedly touching her moldy head.
I saw that she quickly shook the soft whip, and without saying anything, she pulled it towards the young disciple opposite, who didn't expect the other party's temper to be so hot, and suddenly retreated backwards, but he didn't think about retreating too much, and he fell under the stone platform all of a sudden!
"In this game, Dao Wu Sect Xia Qing Han wins!" but heard Old Man Zhang announce.
"it!"
"What the hell! This can also win!"
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
"Hmm, it turns out that her name is Xia Qinghan. ”
It was the first time that Chu Xuan knew her full name, and he only knew the other party's surname Xia before.
