Chapter 42: The Cult
Lin Huan was indeed surprised, because after leaving Silver Moon City, this was the first time he had seen someone he knew in Silver Moon City. Although it is said that there is only one side of the fate, it can be regarded as fate when you meet in a different place!
Of course, he clearly knows his current identity, and it is obviously inappropriate to greet him in the past.
A bearded man was carrying a long knife, and when he saw Lin Huan, he said, "The girl is also a loose cultivator, welcome, welcome!"
The reception disciples of the Qin Academy greeted them when they saw them, so they glanced at the beard and said lightly: "This is Mumu girl, and she is also a casual cultivator, you can introduce the situation to him." I'm going to the front and staring!"
After speaking, he nodded to Lin Huan and signaled that he was going to be busy. Polite and relaxed, with his handsome appearance and his identity as a disciple of the Qin Academy, he went out with a smile. That's an impression of gratitude, right?
However, Lin Huan didn't take him to heart at all, they were all big men, and they weren't broken backs.
Lin Huan lowered his voice and said, "There is labor!"
Immediately, intentionally or unintentionally, he also looked at Wei Jiaojiao who was sitting at the table over there.
To be honest, the reception hall is a bit shabby.
It stands to reason that this is the reception building, and there are only two wooden beds and a table in the retreat room. There are no screens or furnishings, and it is almost like a desolate house. Extremely simple!
Wei Jiaojiao and a masked woman in a blue dress sat at the table.
In addition, a young man in Tsing Yi and a middle-aged man in yellow clothes, and a man with a hooked nose and a gloomy nose sat on a wooden bed. The other one was empty, apparently reserved for the two girls to rest.
Of course, Lin Huan didn't know about the situation in the other reception rooms, he thought it was all the same.
After watching the disciples of the Qin Academy leave, the bearded man said disdainfully: "I'm sorry, the dog's eyes look down on people!"
Lin Huan was stunned.
The man then laughed and said, "Hehe, it's not about you. Is this the first time the girl has come to the sect exchange meeting?"
Lin Huan nodded.
The beard suddenly said: "No wonder, the girl doesn't know anything." Hey......"
The beard sighed.
Lin Huan was stunned and said, "This ...... What do you mean?"
At this time, the masked woman in the blue dress over there answered coldly: "Didn't you see the face of the receptionist just now?
Lin Huan was puzzled: "Why?"
The young man sitting on the bed got up slowly, picked up the kettle on the table and poured a glass of water, then walked over and handed it to Lin Huan, then spread his hands and said, "Look, Qing Shui." There is no ordinary camellia even for ordinary people. Is there no money to hold the Fangqin Temple, or is the camellia so high that it can't afford it?"
The boy looked thoughtful.
Lin Huan understood that he was sarcastic. However, he really wondered that the hall exchange meeting treated the casual cultivators like this? This is also too ......
Lin Huan smiled at the young man, and it was not easy for him to express his opinion at this time.
The middle-aged man on the bed pulled out a long pipe from his waist and lit it without any source of fire.
Then the middle-aged man took a puff of cigarette and looked at it and said, "You probably have participated once or twice, right?" I have participated in four sessions in the next session, and if you really want to talk about it, this session is good. At the very least, a few of us can squeeze into two beds! ”
The hook-nosed man said emotionlessly: "Decent family!"
The man with the hooked nose mentioned the famous and decent at this time, and the fool knows that it means irony.
Lin Huan was even more strange, listening to the meaning of a few people, the status of the joint cultivator was low?
Lin Huan looked at Wei Jiaojiao, who didn't speak, and he wondered why Wei Jiaojiao didn't express any opinions.
Wei Jiaojiao felt Lin Huan's eyes and hurriedly shook her hand and said, "I don't know, it's the first time I've participated." I'm only one day ahead of you!"
"Yes, she just arrived yesterday." ”
Lin Huan smiled and said, "Hello!"
Wei Jiaojiao hurriedly said, "Hello, sit down." ”
Lin Huan held a glass of pure boiled water and sat on the chair. At the table where the four of them were originally sitting, three women sat down at this moment, including Lin Huan's makeup!
The beard closed the door and went back to the wooden bed with the boy to sit.
Obviously, for the absence of screens and room differentiation, they can only stay away from suspicion!
Lin Huan was attracted by their small action.
As the saying goes, the self-disciplined are the noble!
He smiled and said, "Let's get to know each other first." Everyone has signed up for their own numbers, and I said it yesterday and I don't forget it, but I will introduce it again today and give the newcomers an example. ”
When he said this, he looked at Lin Huan and said with a smile: "My name is Wang Xiaohu!" Hehe, don't look at me with a beard, this is the reason for practicing the exercises. Actually, I'm very young, thirty-five! This is the second time I have participated in the exchange meeting!"
Lin Huan was very surprised, it was true that the bearded man's voice was not loud, but the beard on that face looked like a middle-aged uncle, right?
The middle-aged man shook the smoke pipe: "Zuo Zongcheng." Fifty. Yuan Infant 4th floor. Hehe, four exchange meetings. ”
The hook-nosed man said very succinctly: "Fire Eagle, thirty, Yuan Ying Nine Layers." Twice!"
Belch...... Lin Huan was shocked, thirty years old, the ninth floor of the Yuan Baby!
Wang Xiaohu smiled: "Fire Eagle is like that, but this guy is really powerful." At the age of thirty, he reached the ninth layer of Yuanying by cultivating alone, which is indeed perverted enough. Among the famous and decent families, the thirty who arrived at Yuanying are not more than Erer. Whoever has reached it can be called a genius!"
Only then did Lin Huan understand that the so-called thirty yuan infancy was a very fast cultivation. In other words, the little monk is also a cultivation genius!
Lin Huan smiled and nodded.
The young man smiled: "Gu Feifei, twenty-seven, the third day of cultivation has just broken through the Jindan. Participated in the exchange meeting for the first time. However, I have been paying attention to the exchange meeting, and I also know the treatment of our casual practice. ”
Then Wei Jiaojiao stood up and said, "My name is Wei Jiaojiao, and I have cultivated to the ninth layer of Jindan. First time here. ”
With that, she sat down quickly, and at the same time lost a breath.
Lin Huan could see that Wei Jiaojiao was still relatively shy.
The masked woman also stood up and said lightly, "Yuan Shuci." Thirty-seven, the third layer of the infant is cultivated. Second time to the exchange meeting!"
Lin Huan saw that after everyone was introduced, he stood up again and said respectfully: "Mu Mu, twenty-five, the first floor of Jindan!" ”
"What?"
Wang Xiaohu exclaimed.
The others also looked at him incredulously.
Lin Huan was stunned and said, "What's wrong?"
Wang Xiaohu said: "I'm a good girl, another genius, I will reach the Jindan stage in twenty-five, and I am still a casual cultivator!"
Lin Huan smiled embarrassedly and said, "This, Fire Eagle, they are all more geniuses than me!"
Zuo Zongcheng laughed and said: "Hahaha, this time we have to have some face in our casual cultivation, in terms of cultivation alone, we are the best this time." I met Xiaohu and Huoying in the last session. As for Yuan Shuci, hehe, you deliberately concealed your identity, right? But it's okay, loose cultivation, that's it. ”
Yuan Shuci nodded and said lightly: "I'm sorry." ”
Zuo Zongcheng smiled.
Lin Huan asked, "By the way, what is the specific deal with the treatment I just mentioned?"
Wang Xiaohu suddenly sighed and said, "Actually, there is no way to do this! Everyone knows that the sect exchange meeting was jointly founded by the twelve major sects. It is said that only the disciples of the sect participated in the first to the third session! It was not until the fourth session that a powerful sect exchange meeting was not convinced that the sect exchange meeting rejected loose cultivation, so it made a big fuss about the exchange meeting!"
"Ah, and that kind of thing?"
Lin Huan was stunned, there is still such a thing in this Nima sect exchange meeting? How is this a bit like a draft on the earth? Unconvinced passers-by stood up with a blockbuster, so there was an additional Internet talent option behind it.
Except for Lin Huan, everyone else was not surprised, because they had all heard of it. Wei Jiaojiao also heard Wang Xiaohu say it yesterday!
Wang Xiaohu said: "Yes, and it is precisely because of this powerful casual cultivator that more casual cultivators have participated in the exchange meeting since then. ”
Lin Huan asked, "Then, what about that powerful loose cultivator?"
Wang Xiaohu said with a fierce arrogance: "He defeated the heads of the twelve major sects at that time. Then he carried the prizes from the exchange meeting and went to the palace, so that His Majesty at that time could give justice! It can be said that he was the pride of the Scattered Cultivation Circle, and the god of the Scattered Cultivation Realm! His Majesty agreed to his request, and from that time on, the Imperial side became a judge of the exchange meeting. When the seniors were still there, the Sanxiu sect treated everyone equally. And that senior finally soared, and it just so happened that there were no extremely powerful cultivators in the Scattered Cultivation Realm. That's why it's what it is! Hey......"
Lin Huan suddenly understood, the umbrella of casual cultivation was gone. And that senior defeated and offended the sect, so he ended up like this! In the final analysis, he has no backing, or it can be said that he has no strength!
However, who is right and who is wrong? It's really hard to say, after all, it was originally a sect exchange meeting, an exchange between sects. From Wang Xiaohu's words, loose cultivation is forcibly inserted!
Thus evolving into the current pattern. Of course, the sect was uncomfortable with casual cultivation, but after all, after so long, they could not pursue it. You can continue to leave a place for casual practice, but you still have to treat each other with courtesy and respect you as a guest of honor? No one can do it.
However, when the casual cultivators came to participate in the exchange meeting, the organizer's piano academy was indeed a bit excessive. Seven people, two beds!
Lin Huan asked, "Then, doesn't the empire care?"
Wang Xiaohu snorted and said, "They turned a blind eye!"
Zuo Zongcheng said: "Hey, you can't say that. After all, the sect exchange meeting is mainly based on the sect, and the sect is also responsible. Even if the Empire intended, it would not be easy to interfere. After all, they are only judges, and the specific organization is still a sect!
Wang Xiaohu also sighed, indeed, it is strength at all. Lack of strength is the original sin!
Zuo Zongcheng paused and said, "Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about the participation in the exchange meeting." ”
Lin Huan was stunned.
Zuo Zongcheng said with a smile: "You'll know later, everyone gathers over!"
Suddenly, the Fire Eagle and Gu Feifei on the bed all gathered at the table.
Seven people, surrounding the round table.
Zuo Zongcheng asked Gu Feifei to take away the tea set on the table, and then took out a piece of rice paper and spread it on the table.
Lin Huan was surprised to find that there were dense words on it and various patterns.
Zuo Zongcheng said: "Since today is the last day, it is almost dark. In other words, there should only be seven of us. Yuan Shuci and Fire Eagle Xiaohu must know the schedule, whether they know it or not, they still listen to it. ”
The three nodded.
Zuo Zongcheng pointed to the rightmost text on the paper and said, "The exchange meeting lasts for three days! During these three days, each day has a different schedule. ”
Lin Huan listened very carefully, because it was related to the ranking, and he was aiming for the first place. Although it should not be certain now, after all, there is only one thing that is fast.
Zuo Zongcheng said: "The first day is a team battle!"
Lin Huan, Wei Jiaojiao, and Gu Feifei's eyes widened. Wei Jiaojiao and Gu Feifei were surprised because this was the first time Zuo Zongcheng had announced the schedule, and he hadn't said it before. Yuan Shuci knew that it was because they had participated.
"Team fights?"
All three asked at the same time.
Zuo Zongcheng said: "Yes, it's a team battle." That's why I just said that this is a matter between sects. In team battles, each sect will send six people to fight as a team! The two sides use each person's area of expertise to make a reasonable match to form a set of team battles that can be attacked and defended, and complement each other. ”
Lin Huan asked, "Then, what about our casual cultivation?"
Zuo Zongcheng said with a smile: "Hehe, of course it's the same! It's also a team battle with six people!"
Gu Feifei said loudly: "How can there be this, this is not fair! Scattered cultivators are all cultivating separately, how can this kind of team battle be fought? There is no cooperation at all, right?"
Zuo Zongcheng and Yuan Shuci Huoying and Wang Xiaohu did not have any change in complexion.
Zuo Zongcheng said with a smile: "So, this is called a sect exchange meeting. Do you know? It's testing, competing for the strength of the sect!"
Sure enough, just as Lin Huan thought, this is the exchange between sects. Loose cultivation is hard inserted!
Lin Huan didn't dwell on the issue of fairness, he asked lightly, "How did you do it in the past?"
Wei Jiaojiao and Gu Feifei also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what their predecessors had done.
Zuo Zongcheng spread his hands and said, "Abstain!"
"What?"
The eyes of the three newcomers widened, and they actually abstained!
Zuo Zongcheng said helplessly: "This is something that has no choice. One, in previous years, the number of sessions I participated in added up to a total of five people, which is not enough. Second, everyone cultivates separately, so do you think it is possible to defeat the disciples of the sect who have been cultivating together all the year round? After all, cooperation is not enough at all. ”
The three of them suddenly said that it was true.
Zuo Zongcheng said: "Let's not discuss this first, let's talk about the schedule and system completely." ”
He continued: "The first day was a team fight. The second day was a single-player knockout. The lottery will be divided into two groups. The solo elimination match will not encounter a member of the sect in the first round, and if it is drawn, it will be postponed to the next one. In other words, in the first round, whether we draw the upper group or the lower group, we don't need to be on the top. But there is one exception, that is, the vacated personnel, who are vacated are directly promoted. After the promotion, it is an intra-group battle in which the two groups of promoted personnel are drawn at will, regardless of sect and scattered cultivation. Again, one person will still be available for each promotion until the final two players in the group face off. In the end, there is only one person left in each group, and this person competes with the other group for the top spot in the solo battle. ”
Understand, it is the elimination system, step by step to eliminate the opponent. And you only get one chance. Once defeated, eliminated!
Zuo Zongcheng continued: "On the third day, there was a scuffle. First of all, do you know about the small world?
Lin Huan and the three of Zuo Zong's questions.
Unexpectedly, Gu Feifei nodded and said, "I know." ”
And Lin Huan and Wei Jiaojiao shook their heads at the same time.
Zuo Zongcheng said: "Let me say it, the small world at this sect exchange meeting is an independent space constructed by the sect ancestors with powerful power and magic weapons. Because it is for exchange meetings, the passage to change the small world is closed after the production is completed, and it becomes a fixed and unchangeable small world. On the third day, all the sect disciples and casual cultivators who participated in the exchange meeting would be teleported into the small world. In the small world, everyone is teleported to different locations. And the weather and environment can change from time to time. One moment it's summer, the next maybe it's winter. One moment in the mountains, the next maybe in the water. ”
Lin Huan was surprised: "So amazing?"
Zuo Zongcheng continued: "It's not all. Every other month, the small world shrinks. A huge pillar of light will surround you, and upon touching it, it will begin to corrode the body, and the corrosiveness will gradually increase over time. Oh, a month in a small world is a cup of tea outside. But time in a small world is real. At least the people inside can really feel it. There is no time limit until there is only one person left! All you have to do is survive, that is, escape, and kill. Yes, it's killing! The people killed in the small world don't really die, that's just the simulated power in the small world. But, absolutely true, even if you are timid. If you had to define a third-day melee, it would be survival royale!"
Lin Huan was stunned for a moment, if you heard it right, isn't this the PUBG battle royale mode on Earth? God, the new moon also likes this kind of tune? And the most perverted is the live-action version, not a game!
Zuo Zongcheng finally said: "On the first day of the team battle, the first person will get 20 points. The second gets fifteen points. The third gets five points. After the third day, there are zero points! The second day is the same! Only the top three places will be taken! And the third day is the most important, and the last first place will get 60 points. The second place is 40 points, the third place is 30 points! The top three places in the final exchange meeting will be ranked according to the total number of points. Moreover, only the top three will be selected!"
Lin Huan and the three finally understood the format and schedule of the exchange meeting.
Then Zuo Zongcheng said: "Okay, now let's decide on the competition to participate in." First of all, the first day of team battles, what do you think?"
Wang Xiaohu was the first to say: "I don't care!"
Gu Feifei rubbed his hands and said: "Why don't you participate, if you don't cooperate, you won't cooperate, and beat them!"
Fire Eagle said lightly: "I'm going!"
Yuan Shuci thought for a while and said, "I participate, even if I can win one game!"
Wei Jiaojiao said: "I, I also participate." ”
In the end, everyone looked at Lin Huan, that is, Mu Mu of women's clothing.
Lin Huan thought about it, the battle royale on the third day must be the focus, and he should be able to get the top few places with his speed, right? But what if there are powerful people, or accidents?
"I'm in a team fight!"
At this time, Zuo Zongcheng paused and said, "There are just six of you in the team battle, so I won't participate." Last year I fell in the small world on the third day, and this year I must take it back. I don't want to consume it upfront, please understand. ”
Zuo Zongcheng's words silenced everyone, yes, the focus is on the small world behind. But isn't the front important?
Wang Xiaohu thought about the arrogant people in the sect, and stomped his feet violently: "Participate, I won't change it anyway!"
Gu Feifei thought about the purpose of coming here, and he smiled and said, "I'll still participate!"
Yuan Shuci thought of that person, thought of the past, she gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "I insist." ”
Fire Eagle still said concisely: "!"
Wei Jiaojiao thought of the past when she cultivated alone, and thought that the huge improvement that taking a medicinal bath had brought to her had not yet been tested. She desperately wanted to know what kind of strength she was now.
"Hehe, team battle, let's go!"
Lin Huan looked at the scattered cultivators who knew that there was no cooperation and no tacit understanding, but they still chose team battles, and suddenly their blood surged.
He stretched out his hand and said, "I'll fight the team!"
Then, the six laughed and put their hands together.
In the end, Wang Xiaohu's right hand was put together, and his left hand beckoned to a person next to him, Zuo Zongcheng: "Come, cheer for us! We all understand your concerns, after all, we have participated in the fourth session! Everyone said, right?"
Lin Huan and the others said in unison: "Yes!"
Zuo Zongcheng suddenly said with some excitement: "Thank you, I wish you a successful team battle!"
