Chapter 41: The Evil Spirit Appears, and the World Collapses (I)
Chang Liubai's appearance, naturally did not escape Zi Shuyi's eyes, due to the angle problem, they did not see Chen Ming's faces clearly, Chang Liubai and the conversation between them, and the third or fourth elders did not use their qi to eavesdrop.
Looking at the young man standing proudly, the third elder said leisurely: "People say that black gold is the first, and under the sky, the gathering of qi is the strongest. But who can be sure that the strength of the black gold number one is not on the gathering of qi?"
The words of the third elder are quite interesting, and as another round of competition in the ring came to an end, Zi Shuyi asked, "Is the result counted?"
......
......
"Good news, good news. Shen Jiuli was like a soldier who reported the good news, and as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to tell everyone the news.
Say. Chen Ming looked at Shen Jiuli, full of anticipation.
"The results of the battle in the arena are in. "This is undoubtedly a blockbuster news, today is the day when the list of finalists is announced on the Black Gold List, and Shen Jiuli was sent to inquire about the news early in the morning.
Yuan Yuan, Chen Ming, and Yun Feng, who was sitting on the bed with bandages on his head and splints on his hands, all looked at him.
"How?" Chen Ming asked eagerly. It stands to reason that Yun Feng is most concerned about it, but Chen Ming seems to be more concerned about the outcome than he is.
Under the impatient gaze of his partners, Shen Jiuli was not in a hurry, picked up the water and drank it to quench his thirst, and replied unhurriedly: "Guess?"
“......”
"Guess your sister. Chen Ming was completely annoyed, picked up the bowl and was about to knock it on his head, hanging his appetite at this juncture, isn't it death.
"The egg is set. Shen Jiuli hurriedly waved his hand and begged for mercy, snatched the bowl and put it back on the table, and waited until everyone was quiet and finally revealed the answer: "Yun Ji has a score of fifteen wins and sixteen defeats, accumulating seventy-six points, and finally advanced to the next round with a score of fifty-second. ”
"In other words, you're in qualifying!"
This was undoubtedly exciting news, but instead of jubiling, Yunfeng fell into deep thought.
To be honest, he wasn't much sure if he would make it to the next round, and although his points had been steadily rising, there were plenty of players who scored higher than him, and if he didn't meet the minimum criteria for the final list, he had to re-score until the tournament started.
The reason why Yunfeng was able to accumulate seventy-six points after the defeat was mainly due to the reason why he did not perceive it. In battles, the points will vary depending on the realm. If you defeat a player with a higher cultivation level than you, the points you will earn will increase accordingly, and if you lose, the points will be deducted relatively less.
There is no fixed score value for qualifying, but the top 100 in the points.
In the thirty-one battles, the lowest player Yunfeng encountered was also a double gathering of energy, plus the bottom score originally held, and finally shortlisted.
The prelude to the competition for the first place in black gold has really begun.
"Let's put together the tactics. "In addition to being happy, I had to face the next dangerous situation. The results of the fifty-second place are not optimistic, if you want to break through the encirclement and win the crown, with Yunfeng's current strength, you are only afraid of foolish dreams.
Yuan Yuan first took a look at the current situation: "After entering the qualifying competition, the points will be reshuffled, and the original points will be reduced by a certain proportion. ”
"Unlike Qualifiers, the only way to earn points in qualifying is to beat your opponent and snatch them from them. If Yunfeng encounters a player with more than seven points in the first battle, seven points will be added if it wins, and seven points will be cleared and eliminated if it loses. ”
"The person who finally included all the players' points in the bag is the black and gold first. In other words, the one who stands last is the winner. However, high-intensity continuous combat is bound to bring injuries, and how to adjust the state is the key to victory. Past experience has shown that the strongest may not be the last. ”
"Why don't you have to participate in the selection competition?" After listening to Yuan Yuan's analysis, Yun Feng asked. If the winner is determined by points, why has he never seen Chang Liubai in the selection competition?
In this regard, Yuan Yuan explained: "Last year, the first black and gold had the right to be exempted and directly entered the qualifying round. The first battle has the same points as his opponent, in other words, he does not carry any points on him, and if the opponent in the first fight has 100 points, he will also have 100 points. After the first fight, you can only earn points from your opponent just like any other player. ”
"I see. Yun Feng thought to himself that this setting was very fair, no matter who was on the side in the first battle, the points of both sides were equal, and only the winner could stay.
Yuan Yuan said a lot, felt a little dry, lifted the pot and poured water into the bowl, but Shen Jiuli took the lead and drank it again.
"Thank you. Shen Jiuli looked thirsty, and he didn't know if he knew that the water was not poured for himself, but he dipped his sleeve in the water stains on the corner of his mouth after drinking, and he didn't care about Yuan Yuan's feelings on the side: "However, Yun Ji's current strength, not to mention that it is often left blank, it is difficult to deal with living beings alone." There is only one month left before the qualifying round, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to improve my cultivation. ”
Although the words are not good, but the facts are in front of him, Shen Jiuli's words are quite tactful, and it is not only difficult to deal with the battle against the living soul Yunfeng, I am afraid that I will lose nine times out of ten. However, Yun Feng did not feel deeply hit, all the pain of people, the essence is anger at their own incompetence, the lack of strength is of course shameful, but the most important thing is to move forward in shame.
Chen Ming looked at Yuan Yuan, but the other party still seemed to be full of confidence.
Yuan Yuan held the bowl tightly in front of him this time, filled it with water again, and smacked it slowly, full of comfort and enjoyment: "I have contacted Senior Brother, he is now returning from twilight......"
Chen Ming and Shen Jiuli looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes.
"By the way, tomorrow is the Requiem Festival, and it's also my birthday, so I invite everyone. "Chen Ming is rare to be generous.
This good news seemed to be more important than Yun Feng being shortlisted, and Yuan Yuan and Shen Jiuli looked out the window to make sure that the sun was still setting in the west.
"Birthday, birthday, born is either someone else's day, or someone else's day. Yuan Yuan seemed to have drunk too much cold water, and suddenly came out of excitement.
......
......
In addition to the three major empires and dozens of principalities, there are also many non-national regions and mysterious tribes, all of which have different customs, secular festivals, and celebration methods.
And the Requiem Festival is the only festival in the Underworld that is common to most countries.
It's a legend.
A long, long time ago, perhaps when the heavens and the earth were first established, when the ancient demon gods were born, people believed that the soul of a person was not immediately extinguished after death, but turned into a dead spirit and wandered in the world for a period of time, and the body of the soul could not be seen by the naked eye.
Life and death are continuous, so there is reincarnation.
However, not all dead souls can be reincarnated, and some of them were persecuted by others during their lifetime, suffered injustices, and died without turning a blind eye, and they did not want to be reincarnated because of the hatred of the world.
Legend has it that evil spirits will disturb the world on the day before the beginning of winter, causing great calamity in the world and destroying lives.
In order to appease the spirits of the dead and suppress the evil spirits, people held a sacrifice ceremony with the day before the beginning of winter to pay tribute to the dead and invite the ancient gods to descend to the world to save the people from danger.
As time went on, day and night alternated, and the requiem ritual evolved.
The legend of evil spirits gradually faded, perhaps because of the long period of prosperity, the requiem ritual gradually evolved to focus on the ritual of sacrificing ancestors, remembering the ancestors and praying for good weather and abundant harvests.
On this day, it is solemn and immense, and the way of sacrifice is different in each country. In the Shire Kingdom, in addition to His Majesty the Emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials came to the sacrificial platform in person, held a huge and complicated sacrificial ceremony, the folk activities are more lively, witch worship to the sky, dragon dance and amusement, fire cannons to drive away ghosts, lanterns to pray for blessings, varied, rich in content.
This year's Requiem Festival will be as lively as ever.
Yun Feng thought to himself, let's just take it as a relaxation before the special training.
......
......
The desolation here is timeless.
The small trees that were left alive three years ago have turned into dust and dissipated into the endless wilderness.
The moon seems to be larger and rounder than elsewhere, perhaps because the stone temple is closer to the sky.
The robe fluttering in the wind is like the wings of the night, floating above the ethereal white clouds. The ancient mottled stone case, with its strangely shaped numeric symbols, is intertwined and intertwined, as if it has vitality, like earthworms constantly wriggling, constantly evolving into indescribable compositions.
In the middle of the stone case, there are several small balls that flicker and fluoresce, surrounding a larger sphere in the middle, constantly rotating with a certain regularity, which is indescribably mysterious and weird.
The woman stretched out her hands from her robe, gently brushed away the clouds, and suddenly the white clouds surrounding the stone hall flew towards the bright moon, and the cunning moonlight began to dim, and dark clouds surged from all directions.
"Hide the evil of darkness, I summon ......you in the name of the god of death," the woman raised her hands and chanted in a low voice.
The dark clouds gradually covered the bright moon, like a greedy and vicious dog, constantly eating away at a tempting film.
"If you are hated by others, you will have no place to return, the world is pure and turbid, let you suffer calamity, use your hatred to awaken the world, and let this land return to light......"
The moonlight could no longer penetrate the heavy clouds, and the sky and the earth were dark, and finally they could not be seen.
"Those who follow me will live forever, and those who oppose me will never be reincarnated!" the woman chanted not high-pitched, but it was so powerful that it was irresistible, and everything listened to every grain of sand and bat in the desert.
"Evil spirits sleeping deep underground, listen to my orders, wake up quickly!"
As the chanting was finished, the sand and stones below the stone hall trembled......
In an instant, a bony hand broke through the sand!
