811: Conference semi-finals
The two-day recess of the recruitment conference can be described as a blink of an eye for some. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info even, they still feel that they are still unsatisfied, and they have not enjoyed enough.
Most of these people are pure to see the lively Jianghu heroes. Or a loser who participated in the competition but was brushed off during the primary election. They don't know anything about what is secretly going on at this conference.
But for others, it's not the same thing. They are fully aware of the true meaning of what this conference represents. Moreover, they also have their own thoughts and have other plans for this conference.
Therefore, the two days, which were twenty-four hours, seemed to them to be incomparably long. It was as if at least twenty days had passed before I knew it.
Whether it feels long or short, two days is still two days after all, no more and no less. When the moon sets for the second time and the sun rises for the third time, the recruitment meeting is officially held again.
At the right time (seven o'clock in the morning), Xiao Sheng got up slowly, and under the service of the three sisters of the whole family, he washed and changed his clothes in a good time, and then had a simple and exquisite breakfast. Everything was ready, and then the three sisters of the whole family drove the carriage and went out to Wan'an Temple.
Even though the time is still early, there are already crowds of people in Wan'an Temple at this moment. Xiao Sheng took the three sisters of the whole family and Shi Shiran into the martial arts competition venue located in front of the thirteen-story white tower. As far as the eye can see, I saw that the heroes of all walks of life were in groups, gathered in a pile, and they were talking to each other, whispering. Between almost everyone's eyebrows, there was a look of excitement.
Looking up at the VIP seats next to him, including King Liang and King Taeyong, the kings of the clan who were supposed to come early to watch the battle were now unable to see any of them. The entire VIP seat is now empty.
Obviously, all the kings of the clan were notified in advance and went to the "Penglai Dongtian", the venue where the finals were really held.
On the high platform on the other side, the Great Brahma King, Maha Xinye, the Fierce Star Zhuo Aofu, the Three Immortals of the East China Sea, the Iga Flying Immortal, the Koga Sword Immortal, and the Star Fairy. There are also Tang Buxiao, the master of the Tang Sect, and the Mo family. The eight seed masters are still on the list. All of them are majestic and high-spirited. It seems that they can strike at any time, and unleash an invincible divine power that turns the world upside down and changes the color of the storm.
At first glance, it seems like business as usual. But Xiao Sheng knew, and some of the Eight Seed Masters also knew. A few of them are actually not the same people anymore. Merely...... Who is no longer who, and who is really who. There are absolutely only a handful of people who can fully grasp the secrets.
Next to the eight seed masters, a total of sixteen chairs were placed. At this moment, fifteen of them were already seated.
The first place from left to right is the sword demon Lian Xiaohan. I didn't see him for two days, and I don't know what happened to him. A body of sword energy, impressively sharp, and domineering. But his eyes were slightly bloodshot, and his breathing was a little heavy. It seems that the power in the body is too strong, and it is almost impossible to suppress himself.
The second place from left to right is the "Miaoyinni" who claims to be from the Yulong faction of Miaojiang. She didn't change much, she was still wearing a veil, and she looked like Sven, sitting upright. Just looking at her appearance, no one could have imagined that such a beautiful little nun was actually a great master who could control the sword with her qi.
The third place is a long whale wearing a gossip robe and a fat and short body. He sat in a chair with his feet touching the ground. Don't look at his description of obscenity. In fact, this person was taught by a strange person in the East China Sea during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. A set of "Seven Spins Slash" miraculous skills based on the ecology of the aquarium in the sea, except for the seven blows of the purple thunder, there is no other knife technique in the world that can be compared.
The fourth, with a face like a crown of jade, wears a scarf on his head, and has a long black beard at his chin, dressed as a scholar. The demeanor is dignified and square. It is said that he was a disciple of the Confucian Baisha Academy, Lie Chunqiu.
The fifth place, Eguan Bo Belt, looks strange. It is the head of the Weishui Sword Sect, Wang Rui.
The sixth place, who was also dressed as a scholar, exuded a chilling chill. It is the descendant of Zhang Liang, the head of the Snow Sword Sect, Zhang Shiqiao.
The seventh is tall and majestic, about thirty years old. The face is rough, but the bridge of the nose is quite appropriate, the forehead is broad, and the eyes are shining, giving people the impression of being both stable and resourceful. It is the descendant of the famous general Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty, the head of the Wolong Sword Gate, and Li Cairi.
The eighth, however, was a monk in his twenties. He was dressed in a green cloth monk's robe, revealing half of his shoulders with tangled muscles. He carried a long stick with eyebrows in his hand, and on his bare head, there were a total of six incense scars. He is a disciple of Longhua Temple, a bitter monk.
The ninth is a famous immortal wind dao bone, a Taoist in his fifties. But it is the Lord of Penglai and the Yuanxuan Taoist. Legend has it that the patriarch of the Penglai faction, Tieguan Daoweng, once served as the enlightenment master of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty.
The tenth place is dark-skinned and has a white cloth wrapped around his head. His eyes were red, and his face was full of flesh, like a vicious wolf who was ready to choose someone to devour. He was the head of a heretical branch of the Devana. The cultivation of the heretical Brahmanic Sutra, plus the Nine Styles of Crazy Demon Stick Method. Once you do it, you will be like crazy, and your normality will be lost. Definitely a dangerous person.
The eleventh person, dressed like a vulgar way, seems to have a slight limp in his right leg. It is a side branch of the Kongtong faction, the master of the Heavenly Remnant Gate, Yuan Feiyun.
The twelfth is a Miao person from Miao Jiang. The clothes he wore were embroidered with five kinds of poisons, including toads, scorpions, centipedes, snakes, and spiders. It is the head of the Five Poisons Sect, Voodoo.
The thirteenth is a Korean man with a long stick. But it is the master of the Goryeo Extinction Gate, Jin Jiuhuan.
The fourteenth is tall and majestic, with a high nose and deep eyes, and well-defined facial features. Between the gestures, it seems that there is infinite strength. The clothes he wore were all colorful tiger skins. It is the leader of the Bear Elephant Gang, Xiong Shenghu.
The fifteenth, the head of the Oriental family, Oriental Lingyun. He was tall and thin, with purple skin, dry and thin, and very ugly. In his eyes, there was a faint black gas, and he was obviously a master of poison.
The previous head of the Oriental family once competed with the previous head of the Xingzhu faction for poisonous skills, and finally died together. Therefore, Dongfang Lingyun has always looked at the star fairy. It seems that as soon as he has the opportunity, he will immediately seek revenge on her.
looked around the audience and found that among the players who entered the semifinals, he was the only one left who had not yet come to the stage. Xiao Sheng couldn't help but laugh dumbly. He turned back to the three sisters and said a few words, and then he also stepped onto the stage and sat down on the empty chair that belonged to him.
As soon as Xiao Sheng sat down, he immediately heard the sound of a loud golden gong sounding "dang~". In an instant, everyone in the audience was awe-struck. Then he stopped talking to each other, held his breath, and waited for the following.
Under the watchful eye of everyone, I saw a eunuch walking out of the main entrance of the thirteen-story pagoda and standing in public on the high platform at the base of the pagoda. He shouted loudly: "By His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen's mother." The second phase of the recruitment conference was held in the 'Penglai Dongtian', which is 100 miles away from the city.
The sixteen masters who entered the semi-finals, together with the eight seeded masters, immediately set off. After two hours, if you still fail to reach the Penglai Cave, you will be disqualified immediately. Chin this. ”
As soon as the eunuch's voice stopped, an uproar immediately erupted in the crowd. Someone boldly shouted, "That father-in-law, why did all of a sudden, the venue and rules of the competition have changed? ”
The eunuch glanced at the place where the voice came from, and said in a strange manner: "The intention of this conference is to recruit talents. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Empress Dowager have their own ideas, so why do they need to explain to you? If you are dissatisfied with this, you can withdraw from it. Whether it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or the Queen Mother, they will not be investigated. ”
As soon as these words came out, it completely blocked other people's mouths. In the face of such an answer, many of the heroes gathered here were speechless. The eunuch felt a slight sense of concern, swept the dust in his palm, and shouted loudly: "Your Highness and Niangniang's message, our family has brought it." Heroes, please do it. ”
Having said that, the twenty-four masters on the stage, including Xiao Sheng, all sat still, obviously as if everyone was not in a hurry. The eunuch didn't think so, just smiled, turned around and walked into the thirteen-story pagoda, never to come out again.
The heroes of the rivers and lakes gathered in the square looked at each other one by one. After a while, he suddenly didn't know who it was, and shouted in a rough voice: "Penglai Dongtian? What kind of place is that? Lao Tzu is so big, or is it the first time he has come back to Dadu, and he doesn't know the road at all." ”
Someone immediately replied: "Penglai Cave Heaven, didn't that father-in-law already say it just now? This place is a hundred miles southeast of Dadu, and it is a beautiful scenery of the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land. There are many rare birds and beasts, strange flowers and flowers, and the scenery is very beautiful.
Within the Penglai Cave Heaven, it is divided into three major landscapes, such as the 'Xingluo Stone Forest' which is full of craggy and strange stones, forming a thousand postures, the two waterfalls side by side on the cliff, the flowing water is rushing, and the magnificent and vigorous 'Double Dragon Fighting for Pearls', and the 'Fire Tree and Silver Flower' full of red leaves and strange flowers. Many dignitaries and nobles like to go there to escape the summer. ”
In addition, someone exclaimed: "What? Penglai Cave is really a hundred miles away from the capital? It is very difficult to arrive within two hours." ”
Someone next to him laughed and said: "Zhang Laosan, with your light skills of the three-legged cat, of course it is very difficult." But who are the people on the stage? The Sect Master of the Great Brahma Sect, the Three Immortals of the East China Sea, the Master of the Tang Sect, and the Giant of the Mo Family. Hehe, which one is not a first-class master? With other people's light skills, I want to rush to Penglai Cave within two hours, hehe, it's more than enough, right?"
