Chapter 46: Lateness
"Hey, Third Uncle, you are more familiar with the Han and Wu families, tell me which side has a better chance of winning?" asked a middle-aged cultivator with a round face in a blue robe looking at a thin old man. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the old man with thin cheeks heard this, a gleam flashed in his cloudy eyes: "You still need to ask, it must be the Han family." It's just that....... ”
Hearing this, the blue-robed cultivator flashed a trace of doubt and said, "Just what?"
The old man with thin cheeks shook his head and said: "It's not easy for the old man to say, this time the Wu family is a little weird, it should be ten people to participate, but there are still only nine people." ”
"According to the meaning of the third uncle, the Wu family only arranged nine people to play, and there is a deep meaning?"
"This is also where the old man is puzzled, according to the old man's understanding of the Wu family, it should not be difficult for them to select ten medicine refining boys. Maybe the Wu family hid the alchemy boy at the bottom of the box, and waited for the final opening to appear again. ”
Hearing this, the blue-robed cultivator was undeniable, and seemed to be convinced of the thin old man, he stared for a moment and said, "Third Uncle, in your opinion, if the strength of several people on the field is compared, which side has a better chance of winning?"
"Needless to say, it must be the Han family, the Han family's Han Chung has a talent for refining medicine, it is said that he has a good memory of a variety of elixirs, and the quality of the pills he refines is close to his master, and more importantly, this Han Cong is only twelve years old, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the fifth layer of the refining period. ”
The blue-robed cultivator was shocked when he heard this, and said, "What?!, so powerful at the age of twelve! But the third uncle, it is said that Wu Yixue of the Wu family is also very good, maybe you can have a tie with him." ”
When he heard Wu Yixue's name, the old man with thin cheeks said with disdain: "With her, it is impossible! A year ago, the two geniuses of Western Fog City got together and secretly competed, but Wu Yixue was defeated. If you want to say defeat, you will lose, but I didn't expect her to stick to it shamelessly, and wanted to recognize her brother and sister with Han Song, but she was rejected, which made the Wu family lose face. ”
"No, third uncle, there are such interesting rumors and anecdotes, why haven't I heard you talk about it before?"
"It's useless to tell you, if you work hard to cultivate, one day you will become stronger, maybe a beauty like Wu Yixue will follow you. It's a pity that you are addicted to gambling every day and have no interest. After speaking, the thin old man shook his head and sighed.
Being ridiculed by the thin old man of the Ming Dynasty, the blue-robed cultivator scratched his head in embarrassment. It didn't take long to put the words of the thin old man behind him, looked at Wu Yixue with hot eyes, and shouted in his heart: Wu Yixue, you have to wait for me, I will be strong!
Putting aside the two of them for the time being, the other cultivators who bet on them were also talking in a low voice, and the topic of discussion was nothing more than whether they were betting on the Han family or the Wu family, which was roughly the same as the uncle and nephew of the old man with thin cheeks.
In the blink of an eye, the sand in the hourglass was almost finished.
Pharmacist Mo and the Wu family returned one after another, one by one depressed, obviously not finding Xie Yu, which made the Wu family master and the five elders worried, but there was nothing they could do.
After a while, the middle-aged male cultivator on the high platform stared at the hourglass, and when he saw that it was almost there, he turned his head and looked at the ice beauty with a respectful expression: "Senior Sister Qin, the time is almost up, is it time to start refining the medicine?"
Hearing this, the ice beauty nodded lightly and said, "Then let's start." “
"Hey, okay. Hearing this, the middle-aged male cultivator turned his head, smiled, and said to the two heads of the Chaowu family and the Han family with a serious face: "There is not much time left, and the two heads of the family will count the number of people first." When the time comes, the messenger will personally call the name, and if anyone is late to the future, they will be disqualified. ”
The head of the Han family stood up, glanced at the head of the Wu family with a smile, glanced at the boy who was refining his own medicine, and sat down with a smile.
The head of the Wu family stood up with a gloomy face, glared back at the head of the Han family, and saw that Xie Yu was still nowhere to be seen, so he couldn't help but flick his sleeve robe and sit down gloomily.
After another moment, the sand in the hourglass was almost bottoming out.
The middle-aged male cultivator stood up and made an impassioned official speech, only then did he announce the start of the alchemy competition, and then began to officially roll call.
"Han Song. “
"To. “
"Han Lei. ”
"To. “
“......“
"Wu Yixue. ”
"To. ”
"Zou Yi. ”
"To. ”
“......”
"Xie Yu. ”
Seeing that no one answered, the middle-aged male cultivator frowned, his eyes swept over the head of the Wu family, and seeing his violent appearance, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he still repeated it three times according to the regulations.
"Xie Yu, for the first time. ”
No one answered, and the whole square was silent, and the pins could be heard.
"Xie Yu, the second time. ”
Still no one answered.
The Wu family's medicine refining boys all looked at the crowd nervously, and kept calling Xie Yu's name in their hearts, how they hoped that the once familiar figure would appear soon, but unfortunately, this was destined to disappoint them, and the familiar figure never appeared.
And the gamblers in the audience finally understood that it was not the Wu family that wanted to hide, but that there was a certain medicine refining boy of the Wu family who had an abnormal situation and could not come, so they did not hesitate to bet their money on the Han family.
And the cold voice of the middle-aged male cultivator sounded again: "Thank you......." ”
When they heard the word "Xie", everyone in the Wu family was already desperate and completely gave up the idea in their hearts, while everyone in the Han family looked at the Wu family gloatingly, they had enough confidence to win the medicine refining competition.
And the audience bet on the Han family, if it weren't for the face of the envoy, otherwise they would have cheered a long time ago. The Wu family can't even get together ten medicine refining boys, how can we talk about victory!
And those who bet on the Wu family with a fluke mentality have a sad face, and they curse in their hearts that they have been blinded by lard, how can they bet on the Wu family, a guy who has no future!
If the head of the Wu family knew the thoughts of these people, he was only afraid that he would jump up in anger and strip them of their skin.
As soon as the word "Yu" came out, everyone thought that when the dust settled, a familiar voice came from not far from the square: "Xie Yu has arrived." ”
Everyone followed the sound and looked, but saw a young man in gold and silk with strange steps, hurrying towards the high platform, and in a blink of an eye, he passed through the crowd and came to the high platform.
This golden silk satin boy is not Xie Yu, who else!
Seeing Xie Yu's appearance, everyone in the Wu family cried with joy, this time the alchemy Dabi was finally saved.
"Stop! Seeing that Xie Yu was about to jump onto the high platform, the middle-aged male cultivator scolded coldly.
Xie Yu had to stop when he heard this, and replied respectfully: "Xie Yu." ”
The middle-aged male cultivator frowned when he heard this, turned his head, and a sharp look burst out of his wrinkled eyes, and shot straight at the head of the Wu family: "Master of the Wu family, is this person Xie Yu?"
The head of the Wu family hurriedly stood up, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice, which should be claimed.
After confirming Xie Yu's identity, the middle-aged male cultivator glanced at the hourglass, saw that the hourglass had just bottomed out, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Why are you late? Didn't the head of the Wu family tell you the time?" Don't you know the consequences of being late?"
On the way here, Xie Yu had long expected such a thing, and he was ready to respond in his heart, and said respectfully at the moment: "Back to the envoy, when the junior was refining the pill, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, in order to verify this idea, the junior refined the pill alone, but he didn't expect to miss the time because of this, and he hoped that the messenger would forgive his sins." ”
"Hmph, also verify the idea, with you as a medicine refining boy, what ideas can you have, you lie and don't look at who the object is? After speaking, the middle-aged male cultivator snorted angrily, the five fingers of his right hand changed continuously, and a beating flame appeared out of thin air on his fingertips, and between the flicks of his fingers, this flame was like a fire snake, shooting towards Xie Yu with a sound of breaking the air.
This scene came too suddenly, and everyone didn't expect. There was only one thought left in everyone's hearts, and that was that Xie Yu was finished.
The head of the Wu family was the closest, although he had the heart to come to the rescue, but he didn't have the guts, so he could only watch Xie Yu being annihilated by the fire snake.
Looking at the moment when the fire snake pounced on Xie Yu, the five elders were anxious in their hearts, just like this flame rushing towards themselves, constantly praying that Xie Yu could avoid this catastrophe.
