The next day, it was the turn of the expedition team of representatives of Shangqing University to enter the biological fossil area.

Xiao Ming left Xiao Qi outside and went inside to investigate carefully.

This fossil was indeed formed more than 5,000 years ago, but Xiao Ming was even more curious about how the prizes in this competition were found in it, and it must be very rare to attract so many penances to the scene.

After collecting some samples, he casually made an excuse, said goodbye to Fu Xue'er in advance, and walked in another direction with Xiao Qi.

Fu'an is a mountainous basin, surrounded by mountains, and the transportation is not convenient.

It is here that this urban area has not developed several times.

The surrounding area of pristine mountains provides a good venue for this competition.

Through a dense forest, the artificially carved road fades away.

Using the map that Long Chengfei gave him before, Xiao Ming walked for a while, but a cliff appeared in front of him.

The cliff face seems to have been carved out of some stone slabs that can be stepped on, but they are small enough to be stepped on by one foot, and the slabs are five meters apart and extend downward.

If it is an ordinary person, it is not allowed to enter at all, and this is also specially prepared to prevent an outsider from accidentally breaking in and exposing the cultivator's world.

This time, the venue for the competition is under this cliff.

Xiao Ming put away the map and turned his head to look at Xiao Qi beside him.

"Are you ready? We're going down. ”

Xiao Qi nodded and grabbed Xiao Ming's arm tightly.

Xiao Ming bent down and picked her up, jumped lightly, and jumped off the cliff.

Step on the first pedal and jump over the second pedal.

It took forty or fifty jumps before he finally reached the bottom of the cliff.

I saw that the spring flowers at the bottom of the cliff were blooming, and it was another new world.

As soon as he landed, he saw a very simple wooden pavilion built not far away, and two middle-aged men were sitting in it, holding paper and pencils.

Xiao Ming came over and asked strangely, "What's your name, which family does it represent?" or yourself?"

Xiao Ming stepped forward to tell his information, and the other party said: "No one has an admission fee of 10,000 yuan, no matter adults and children." ”

"Ten thousand, that's a lot!"

The other party looked at Xiao Ming with disdain.

"10,000 yuan is not much, but last year it was more than that, can you pay it? ”

Xiao Ming said helplessly: "But I didn't bring cash." ”

"It doesn't matter, we can swipe the card. The man took out a POS machine directly from his side, apparently ready to collect the money.

Xiao Ming had no choice but to take out his bank card and settle the bill, and the other party gave him a sign and said, "Go directly inside, and you will soon be able to see the competition venue." ”

Xiao Ming nodded.

"Thank you. ”

As soon as they left, the two registered people shook their heads.

"Today's young people are really not like words, even the children have been brought along, and they are not afraid of accidents. ”

"Take care of them, no one cares about these loose cultivators anyway, even if something happens, no one wants to stand up for them, we just need to take care of ourselves. ”

While the two were talking, they saw someone coming down from the cliff and registered again.

On the other side, Xiao Ming walked inside with Xiao Qi, sighing that the entrance fee was too expensive, and then he heard a sparse conversation.

He unconsciously quickened his pace, walked up the artificially dug steps, and saw a huge square full of people.

At a glance, all of them were cultivators, but their cultivation was high and low, and their levels were uneven.

These people gathered in twos and threes, exchanging their information.

It was the first time for Xiao Ming to see so many cultivators gathered together, and he didn't feel a little novel.

"Xiao Ming, this way!"

As he was walking, a voice came from not far away.

Turning his head to look, he saw that Tang Jin and Tang You had already arrived first, and beckoned to him.

Xiao Ming walked over and asked, "When did you arrive?"

"It wasn't long before we arrived, and it was going to start in a few minutes. Tang Jin said: "Originally, I didn't want to come over, today should only announce the rules and prizes of the competition, and the specific competition should start tomorrow." ”

Xiao Ming nodded, and was about to speak, but saw that the expressions on the faces of the two brothers, Tang Jin and Tang You, quickly became serious, and looked behind Xiao Ming.

An old voice came at the same time.

"You're Xiao Ming?"

Xiao Ming turned his head and saw a gray-haired old man standing behind him.

He looks like he is over seventy years old, but his movements are neat, he looks very energetic, and he looks very kind with a smile.

Tang Jin stood up and said to Xiao Ming: "This is the head of the Tang family. ”

He whispered, "Grandpa, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be discussing the competition at this time?"

Tang Yuhuai waved his hand.

"What's there to talk about? It's been held for so many years, and the rules are pretty much the same every year. On the contrary, I see that there are a lot of new people joining this year, so come out and have a look. “

His gaze returned to Xiao Ming's body again, with a smile in his eyes.

"I've been hearing Tang Jin mention you before, and this time we finally met. ”

Among the people of the Tang family, except for Tang Jin and Tang You, Xiao Ming has not seen anyone else.

I was still wondering why such a big thing in this competition would let the two brothers come forward, but I didn't expect the old man of the Tang family to be the judge of this competition.

He bent slightly towards Tang Yuhuai and said, "Hello." ”

Tang Yuhuai smiled, his eyes fell on Xiao Qi's body, took out a lollipop from his arms, bent down, and the smile on his face was even kinder.

"You're Xiao Qi, right? It's as cute as Tang You said. ”

"Grandpa!" Tang Jin hurriedly shouted.

Xiao Ming unconsciously turned his head and glanced at him, this Tang You looked very gloomy on the surface and didn't speak, but who would have thought that it would be a lolita?

Tang Yuhuai laughed heartily.

"When will your character be as active and gloomy as your brother, and when will you find a daughter-in-law?"

He said worriedly, and the others laughed.

Tang You was suddenly a little embarrassed, pursed his lips, and did not speak again.

Xiao Qi nodded on tiptoe and took the lollipop in Tang Yuhuai's hand, his eyes were shining, he smiled slightly, and two cute dimples appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Tian Tian said: "Thank you, grandpa!"

Tang Yuhuai smiled and blossomed, and was even more annoyed, complaining to the two brothers Tang Jin and Tang Jin.

"Look at Xiao Ming, you have a child at such a young age, look at the two of you!"

As he spoke, he said to Xiao Qi with a smile: "Xiao Qi, if you encounter any trouble, you can come to grandpa at any time." I wouldn't dare to say it anywhere else, but if I were here, my old man would still be able to say a few words. ”

"Well, thank you grandpa!"
