Chapter Twenty-Three: The Selection Begins
In Qingshan Town, in a large circular open-air square, there are many people at the moment, crowded with people watching the excitement.
Today is the day of the selection of the disciples of the Qingyan Sect! It is destined to be a lively day!
Before that, I don't know how many people were looking forward to this day, and most of the people in the field were in groups of three or five, and most of them were parents who came to this square with their children.
If your own children can stand out in the selection competition and successfully embark on the road of cultivating immortals, they will be able to obtain endless glory and wealth, stand at the top of human society, and become an immortal master!
However, for those who are over fifteen years old, today's selection has nothing to do with them, because the age requirement for the selection of Qingyan Sect disciples is under fifteen.
Despite this, for others, today is still a rare day to watch the excitement, so there is this kind of lively scene in front of them.
Qingshan Town is among the few nearby towns, and it is one of the most famous and famous towns in terms of area, which is why Qingyan Sect chose to hold a disciple selection in Qingshan Town.
The selection of Qingyan Sect's disciples is only held once every three years, and those in nearby villages and towns who want to participate in the selection competition need to set off several days in advance and rush to Qingshan Town.
It's almost time for the game to start.
"Brother Wang, are you here this year?" asked a young man on the street who walked quickly forward and turned to a teenager in front of him.
"Hey, Brother Liu, are you here too?" the young man in front heard the cry from behind, turned his head and asked in surprise.
"It's such a grand event, it only takes place once every three years, how could I not come?" hahaha......" said the boy who caught up with him.
"Hahaha, then, let's go together!" With that, the two beckoned and walked forward together, and the road leading to the circular square was under their feet............
The selection of disciples of the Qingyan Sect is held once every three years, and many people have participated in the selection of the Qingyan Sect more than once, and the Qingyan Sect does not prevent those who participate repeatedly, because among these people, there are some late bloomers.
At this time, Su San, like countless teenagers with dreams, walked on the road to the competition venue, accompanied by Chunyang.
............
"Silence!"
A deep voice resounded through the square, and at one end of the square, there was a large stand, at this time a burly middle-aged man stood on the stand, condescending, shouting at the noisy crowd below.
Hearing a silence, the crowd around them suddenly fell silent. This person who spoke out was not simple, it was none other than the city lord of Qingshan Town-Xue Gui! Xue Gui was not only the city lord of Qingshan Town, but also said to be the number one master of Qingshan Town! He was extremely prestigious in Qingshan Town, and as soon as he opened his mouth at this time, the surroundings immediately fell silent.
"The envoy has descended on Qingshan Town!"
"I announce that this Qingyan Sect Disciple Selection Contest has officially begun!"
Rumble!
When Xue Gui's words fell, everyone in the square immediately cheered!
didn't come up to talk a lot of nonsense, just two straight sentences, and announced the official start of the game!
The rules of the game have been written on the notice board at the entrance of the square, Su San walked closer, and there was a special big sign standing in front of him, with a large red paper on it, and the rules of the game were written in black on a red background.
The selection of Qingyan Sect's disciples is divided into two games, the first one is a force competition! In the middle of the square, there are three rings arranged in the shape of a pin, and one day later, whoever can become the champion of the three rings is the top three in this martial arts competition!
After the top three are decided, they will enter the top three ranking matches, and one of them will be byed by drawing lots, directly into the top two, while the other two champions will compete, and the loser will be the third place, and the winning party will compete with the one who had a bye before to decide the first and second place!
The point of view here is that there are prizes for this contest, but only the first place winner will receive the prize!
"Yang Yuan Dan!"
Su San looked at the reward for the first place written on the red paper, his brows furrowed slightly, and the notice only said that the reward was Yang Yuan Dan, and the specific function was not written.
"Bell!"
With the sound of a gong, the sound spread in all directions of the square! This armed contest has officially begun!
In the stands at one end of the square, after the city lord Xue Gui announced the official start of the game, he immediately left the stands. At this moment, there are many people in the stands, and the only ones who can stay in the stands are the people of the three major families in Qingshan Town, these three families are the Xue Mansion, the Zhao Mansion, and the Chen Mansion.
In this competition, the Xue family of the City Lord's Mansion is the main agent, plus the Zhao family and the Chen family, these three families are the supervisors of the competition and the participants of the competition.
At this time, in the direction of the Zhao family in the stands, standing at the front was the head of the Zhao family, and in the position slightly back in the line, a pair of fierce eyes were looking around: "Hmph! The stinky boy who robbed me of the treasure fan! Don't let me see you here, otherwise today will be your death!" Zhao Qingwei said fiercely looking at the lively crowd below.
"Trouble!" Su San said in a low voice while wearing a hat on his head at this time, standing in a corner of the square.
He said this because Su San saw Zhao Qingwei in the stands, as well as the clansmen around Zhao Qingwei. The power of this Zhao Mansion in Qingshan Town is not small, at this time there are many members of the Zhao family standing in the stands of the square, and in this square, the Zhao family has arranged nearly four hundred guards!
There is a Zhao character embroidered on the chest of these guards' clothes, all of them have fierce faces, and their eyes are full of anger! Once Zhao Qingwei discovers himself, things will be in trouble!
"Don't be afraid!
Chunyang saw the worry in Su San's heart on the side, and immediately said proudly.
"I'm not afraid!" Su San suddenly exclaimed when he heard this.
"Hehe" Chunyang just smiled and didn't speak.
In fact, Chunyang obviously felt that after Su San broke through to the realm of the second layer of the Little Yin-Yang Technique, which was as fast as a fox, there were some changes in Su San's body, and the most intuitive feeling was that Su San had become more confident!
"In this square, although there are many people in the Zhao family, so what!"
"You must enter the Qingyan Sect!"
Su San's ambition is to join the Qingyan Sect, this selection, he will definitely stand up, and he will definitely be seen by Zhao Qingwei at that time, and sooner or later he will have to confront the people of the Zhao Mansion! Su San would not have come here if he was afraid!
At this moment, there are already people in the ring, you know, the person standing in the ring a day later is the champion, and can enter the top three! If you go up too early, you will meet the most challenges, and in terms of physical strength, it will be able to support the end of less than a day!
At this time, there are three rings in the middle of the field, two of which have already been raised, and the third ring is empty.
However, after waiting for half an hour, the situation is still like that, there is one person sitting in each of the two rings, and the other ring is always empty, what is going on?
"The people of the Zhao Mansion and the Chen Mansion are simply shameless............"
For a long time, no one challenged the two rings, and the people around gradually began to whisper. After listening to it for a while, Su San gradually understood what was going on in this situation.
The people standing in the two rings at this moment are the guards of the Zhao Mansion and the Chen Mansion, and they are all masters among the guards! Naturally, they are extraordinary, who dares to go up and challenge them?
The two guards sat cross-legged in the ring, and no one dared to challenge them for half an hour!
In fact, this game was completely contracted by the three major families in Qingshan Town, and the top three seats have been decided, and each of the three families has a place in the top three. The reason why the third ring was empty, and it wasn't because the Xue family sent a guard to occupy it, was because it was because the matter couldn't be done too much! After all, the envoy of the Qingyan Sect might be paying attention to this game at this time, and the Xue family only needed to win the last ring in the last half an hour.
And the envoy of the Qingyan Sect also turned a blind eye to this matter, in the cultivation world, it has always been like this, natural selection, survival of the fittest! If you don't even have the courage to challenge the three major families in the mundane town, how can you talk about cultivating immortals!
Three rings, one day later to determine the top three, this kind of competition system is actually very elegant, is a kind of disciple primary selection rules that have been used in Qingyan Sect for a long time, although there will be a local strong and strong in many places to determine the top three, but this means that there will be dark horses coming out!
Once the dark horse counterattack is successful, then he himself has the courage to move forward, and he also has a certain level of force, this kind of person is recognized and favored by the Qingyan Sect!
"I hope there are some surprises, otherwise it will be too boring!" An inn near the square, a room on the fifth floor facing the square, the window was open, and a young man stood in front of the window, the man was dressed in gray coarse linen, and his sharp eyes looked at the three rings in the middle of the square.
"Bell!"
The sound of a gong rang out, and the gong would ring every half hour, and by this time it had already sounded twenty-three times, and there was already half an hour left until the time of the day!
"It's my turn!"
Su San, who was standing at the back of the crowd, was twenty meters away from the nearest of the three rings, and there was a thick crowd in between. Su San looked at the crowd in front of him, moved a few steps under his feet, and stood in a suitable position.
Sou!
Su San jumped up in an instant, stepping on the heads of people one by one and shooting towards the ring not far away!
Wow!
"Who? Who stepped on my head?" ...... "don't fucking want to live?!! anymore......
There was a commotion in the crowd, and the surrounding crowds, as well as the teams of the Xue family, the Zhao family, and the Chen family standing in the stands, immediately looked at the place of the commotion!
I saw a short figure spread his hands straight to the sides, stepping on the heads of a few people in the crowd and running in mid-air! Then he bounced up on the top of one of them's head, and in a rise and fall, he crossed the guardrail of the ring and landed on one of the rings, and the whole action was done in one go!
"There are really people who are not afraid of death to send them to the door, and it just so happens that my hands are itching!
After the short figure landed in the ring, a big man with a Zhao character embroidered on his chest stood up from the ground and said hideously to the figure wearing a hat in front of him.
"Really?"
Under the hat, the corners of Su San's mouth hooked, looked at the big man in front of him, and slowly took off the hat on his head, revealing a childish face!
And those who were stepped on the top of Su San's head just now, their chests were also embroidered with a Zhao character!
