Chapter 118: The Assembly of All Souls

Yuezhou City already belongs completely to the south, and it is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and the weather is extremely hot.

The heat of the weather did not affect everyone's interest, and the streets were crowded with people.

Seasonal fruits have been laid out, and South Street is full of fruity aromas. Of course, there is a bit of other smell in it, and that is the strange smell of all kinds of small animals and birds.

I don't know if it's because of customs, or if there's a so-called All Souls Convention, and there are as many pets as people on the street.

From the smallest white rat to a giant python more than a foot long, it can be said that there are many species and different appearances. If some big trees are planted in the city, this Yuezhou City will be like a primeval forest.

The three of them mixed in the crowd, listened to everyone's conversation, and slowly figured out the details of the Ten Thousand Souls Conference.

The Ten Thousand Souls Conference has been around for a long time, and it has appeared thousands of years ago, but the coverage is not wide, that is, Yuezhou City and its surroundings.

The reason for its rise is also a coincidence, it is said that countless demon beasts invaded Yuezhou City back then. In a panic, the residents of the city caught all the small animals in and around the house to prevent them from sneaking up.

Surprises and surprises arise at this time. The critters rioted and fled from the city. As soon as they left the city, they were stopped by the demon beast. In desperation, the small animals used their skills and turned the outside of Yuezhou City into a desert.

The demon beast didn't eat, so it simply withdrew. In order to celebrate this event, the residents of the city specially organized an event for the small animals, which was the Gathering of All Souls.

Whether this legend is true or false is impossible to verify, but the Gathering of All Souls has been passed down for a long time, and it is an indisputable fact.

Naturally, the venue of the Ten Thousand Souls Conference could not be held in the city, but the west gate facing the Kunqi Mountains.

Yunyi has come from the great northwest to the southwest, and has never been able to leave the range of the Kunqi Mountains. One can imagine how wide the divergence of the Kunqi Mountains is.

It is estimated that thanks to its existence, it not only feeds countless people, but also makes the Daxing Empire so peaceful and peaceful as it is now.

The three of Yunyi squeezed out of the West City Gate with the crowd, and their eyes suddenly opened up, and the rolling sound almost made them deaf in an instant.

Outside the city gate, there was a lot of noise, even more than the vegetable market. The bustling crowd was more lively than the scene of worship.

On the way over, Yun Yi had already listened to the introduction.

The juggling on the roadside stalls was just for fun, and the real game was still in the threshing floor outside the city gates.

This meeting of all souls was jointly organized by the imperial court and the Temple of Origin, and the winner could not only receive a rich reward, but also a noble reputation, and the gold content could be said to be relatively high.

Yun Yi admired the juggling on the side of the road while guessing the competition items.

It seems that the competition items are more difficult to guess, and the way of juggling is strange. There are those who let rats explore the maze, there are those who let livestock transport goods, and there are those who let birds compete to win, and the ways are very different, each with its own skill, how to distinguish the superior?

Curious, the three of them came to the threshing floor. It's already crowded with people, and there are heads everywhere.

It is also thanks to the terraced spectator seats, otherwise you really can't see the grand occasion of the game.

After buying tickets to enter, the three of them had an extra brand that was as white as jade, but not jade. This entrance fee is not cheap, one or two silver per person, and it is estimated that the admission sign is more valuable.

The three of them found a place to sit down, and next to them was a young man in a blue robe, who was watching the game with his neck stretched.

Is it so pretty?

Yunyi looked at the clearing in front of him. There's already a game going on, and there's a lot of men in blue among them.

Seeing this, he understood, no wonder the young man next to him was so concerned about this matter, playing on the field with his partner.

"Childe, Sister Han, I've inquired. What they have to test is not the juggling skills of the beast masters, but the speed and proficiency of their communication with all spirits. Xiaohong said with great interest.

Yun Yi nodded. I see. When I think about it, it seems that this is the only way. Everyone has a handicraft to take advantage of, and if there is no unified standard, where can the strong and the weak be distinguished.

It was as if the game had entered a new phase and had been suspended.

A middle-aged man in a fancy costume who looked like a master arched his hand around and said, "Everyone, please, I am Wan Fu, the host of this year's Ten Thousand Souls Conference, and I greet everyone." I have a new friend who has just arrived, so I'll introduce you to the rules of the competition. ”

"The first exchange match lasted three days. The main thing is to communicate with the war horse, and whoever communicates the best will be promoted. ”

"The second friendly was two days. The friendly match is not a friendship between the beastmasters, but a friendship between them and the horses. The war horse must complete various actions according to the instructions of the beast master, and there must be no less than ten commands. Only those who complete the score if they are higher than 60% can be promoted. ”

"The third snatch was a one-day match. The participating beast master issued instructions to the war horse, and the war horse went to seduce other war horses. The beast master who has lost the control object is eliminated, and whoever gets the most war horses will be the first place, and there will be corresponding rewards.

"The fourth championship game. The war horse fights according to the strategy of the beastmaster, and who will become the champion in the end depends on the master's control skills and communication skills. ”

Wan Fu said this, pointing to the competition venue, "The second day of the exchange competition, the excitement continues." ”

In the middle of the field, twenty soldiers had already led their horses and stood in a neat row.

"I'm going to invite the Beast Master to play. "Wanfu Dao.

Ten beast masters of different ages and expressions walked onto the field. They arched their hands at the audience and immediately got into the groove.

The soldiers retreated, and the horses began to snort in disobedience, flick their hooves, and flick their tails. The Beastmaster chooses the target at will and communicates with the warhorse. Twenty war horses, let ten people pick, but there will be no competition with each other.

"The time limit for the exchange is a stick of incense. "Wanfu Dao.

The Beast Master also sped up his progress. Communicating with a war horse that you have never met is not a simple job. On the battlefield, many generals rode war horses for several years, but failed to achieve tacit understanding. Now with a pillar of incense, I want to make the war horse agree, which requires high skill and control means.

Ten beast masters are interspersed among the war horses, looking for the war horses with the right temper.

A stick of incense soon arrived, and Wanfu shouted to stop.

Now it's time to test the results of communication.

Wan Fu pointed to a rope a hundred meters away and said, "Now ask the Beast Master to issue an order to the war horses and let them walk over on their own." ”

Hearing this, Yun Yi burst out laughing. Nima, so good at playing. War horses are not human, how can they be so easily commanded by others? It is still possible to ride on them and forcibly pull the reins. Just say a word, let the war horse obediently obey, isn't this idle nonsense?

The three beast masters showed bitterness on their faces, handed over the competition tokens one after another, and left the game in shame. Obviously, they did not achieve the approval of the war horse, and there was not the slightest exchange result.

The remaining seven led a horse and made the final communication.

After waiting for a moment, a horse finally stepped out of the crowd and walked towards the rope.

The audience burst into loud applause, and finally there was a success.

The horse stalked about its hooves, looked left and right, and when it was halfway through, he lowered his head and nibbled on the grass.

There was a commotion.

The beast master's face turned red, and his angry eyes were on fire, and he almost jumped up and scolded his mother. He held back his anger and continued to communicate with the war horse at the top of his throat.

The horses turned to look at him, and walked back avoiding their hooves.

The audience burst into laughter. This war Ma Tai Nyima is funny, isn't this intended to trap the dead?

At this moment, the second horse came out in a high spirit, walked in a straight line, and walked towards the rope.

The laughter stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes widened. Can this horse be made?
