i Xu Yishi and the others came to the center of the town square, the town elder straightened his chest, he clapped his palms vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, come here, come here!"

As the mayor of a town, he was quite famous in the town, and such a loud roar immediately attracted everyone's attention, and even the two young men who were playing in the ring not far away were playing more like a fight than fighting.

After hearing this, everyone spontaneously rushed towards the center of the square, but their movements were not flustered, but there was a faint feeling of lining up in the disorder. Yu Linghe nodded secretly when he saw it on the side, this town is really worthy of the inheritance of the military family, even at this time, he can see the military side in the subtleties.

Moreover, this is not only true of men, but also of all old and weak women and children.

Xu Yishi looked down with satisfaction, and said loudly: "Everyone, tell you a good news!" He pointed to the temple guard beside him, and shouted in an excited tone: "This is Lord Xu Xiang, the temple guard of the City of Dawn, he came to our town today and will watch the bonfire competition." ”

The people below were stunned at first, and then they suddenly became lively like boiling water that lifted the lid of a pot.

Yu Linghe looked around suspiciously, not understanding why he suddenly became emotional. After hearing the news, most people seemed extremely excited, if it was according to the previous life, it would be similar to taking a stimulant.

With a turn of his eyes, Yu Linghe took a few steps to the side, grabbed Pu Miaozhuang, who was cheering, and said in a low voice: "Hey, what are you happy about?"

Pu Miaozhuang turned his head to look at Yu Linghe, and suddenly stopped struggling, after the scene a few days ago, he knew that Yu Linghe had real talent and learning, plus the relationship between the eldest brother. Naturally, he didn't dare to blow up in front of him.

"Brother Yu, the temple guards came to watch the bonfire in our town, and that was a recognition of us. And it's very likely that one or two people will be selected to join the temple. Pu Miao said happily: "If you can join the temple and become the temple guard." That's the supreme glory! This is the glory of the ancestors!"

Yu Linghe suddenly realized that the status of the temple was extremely special, and the selection of guards naturally had a special set of rules. However, with the exception of a very small number of people on the island, joining the temple and becoming a glorious temple guard is undoubtedly one of the greatest dreams of most people.

The cheers of the crowd gradually came to an end, and Xu Yishi said with a triumphant face: "Today's bonfire competition is the highlight of our town, the boys should go all out! Don't let me down!"

"Yes!" This time it was not only the teenagers who participated in the big competition who answered, but also many old people who responded with a lot of laughter.

Xu Yishi laughed, turned his head and said in a low voice: "Xu Xiang, what do you think?"

Xu Xiang smiled and said, "Uncle, everyone's fighting spirit is very strong." He said with emotion: "Don't worry, I also went out like this in the past, and as long as someone performs well this time, I will definitely recommend it." ”

Although he is now a noble temple guard, before he became a guard. But he is also a member of this town. The reason why he was able to join the ranks of the guards was also because he performed well in a certain bonfire competition, and was only favored by the temple guards who came here after becoming the child of flames. That's why he embarked on this path of glory, and eventually became a glorious temple guard.

Now, looking at the agitated colors on the faces of the many young people below, his mind seemed to have returned to a few years ago, and he felt a little emotional.

Xu Yishi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Okay, Xu Xiang, don't worry, this session will definitely not disappoint you." ”

Among the young people of the town in this class. But there are two geniuses in the town, Pu Miaolin and Wang Lingju. Either of them is eligible to be an alternate temple guard, and both of them participate in the Bonfire Contest at the same time. That's a double insurance, and there will definitely be one person selected. Once thought about it in the middle of his tenure. Being able to train a young man to join the temple made his heart feel hot.

Striding forward, Xu Yishi led everyone to the edge of the ring, and said loudly: "The boys who signed up can go up and compete now." ”

Everyone below looked at each other, although there were many people eager to try, but in front of everyone's eyes, the young man was embarrassed to be the first to fight.

"Since everyone doesn't dare to get on, then I'll come!" A loud voice came, and then a figure jumped into the ring lightly, it was Wang Lingju who Yu Linghe had seen once.

With a slight narrowing of his eyes, Yu Linghe sighed secretly in his heart, although this guy is not good with Pu Miaolin, but in this small place, he can also be called a bold talent.

Seeing Wang Lingju on stage, the following suddenly quieted down.

This guy has won the title of Flame Child twice in a row, and his reputation is outstanding, and after seeing him appear, no one dared to take the stage to humiliate himself for a while.

Yu Linghe rolled his eyes and said, "What about your eldest brother?"

Pu Miaozhuang hurriedly said: "Big brother said that the real bonfire competition will not start until the evening. So......" he lowered his voice and said, "He secretly went to see his sister-in-law." ”

The corners of Yu Linghe's mouth twitched slightly, and he secretly said in his heart, I really can't see that the big guy actually has a time of enlightenment.

Seeing that the scene became quiet, Xu Yishi hurriedly said: "Wang Lingju, you come down first, give everyone a chance to show themselves, as for you, come back at night." ”

"Yes. Wang Lingju's face was depressed, he looked condescendingly in the ring for a long time, but he never found the figure of his old rival, and others obviously would not challenge him at this time, so he had to come down sullenly.

When he left the ring, the rest of the young people breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, two people took the stage and fought one by one.

Yu Linghe only glanced at it a few times, and suddenly lost interest in watching.

Both of these people are third-dan laymen, and at their age, being able to reach the third-dan level is already quite a good result on the island. However, they are not charismatic monks, and they cannot unleash powerful divine grace manifestations, so the skills they can show at this moment are quite limited. For Yu Linghe, who has experienced many life-and-death battles, and has fought against rat demons, abyss demon beasts, and powerful human race god grace laymen and eye-opening believers, such a competition has no value to observe at all.

The rest of the people, though, apparently think differently from him. When he saw these two people fist and kick each other, the ring immediately applauded. Yu Linghe listened carefully, and naturally could tell that these people were genuinely applauding, not casually perfunctory. He shook his head helplessly, this is a matter of vision, with the improvement of strength, he really looks down on this kind of cultivation.

A quarter of an hour later, the two sides in the ring had already decided the winner.

When the loser stepped down, the winner stepped down from the ring amid the cheers of the crowd. He has already qualified for the next round, so naturally he has to go down and rest.

When they were down, there were two more people in the ring.

Perhaps because of the presence of the temple guards, everyone behaved very seriously, and there was no element of play. And because they are serious about each other, accidents and casualties are inevitable.

The result of the second battle was a defeat for both sides, and the two second-stage laymen each vomited a mouthful of blood, and they both failed.

The competition is compact and exciting, which makes most people addicted.

However, like Yu Linghe, there was another person with a slightly dissatisfied face.

There was a table and chair directly below the ring, and Xu Yishi and others sat here with Xu Xiang, although there was no one around them, but there was naturally a circle. Except for a few leading figures in the town, where did the rest of the people dare to approach this place at will.

When Xu Yishi and the others applauded, they were also secretly watching Xu Xiang's expression.

Although according to the family lineage, Xu Yishi is Xu Xiang's uncle, and in the past, Xu Xiang was able to join the temple, and he also had Xu Yishi's help behind him. However, now in Xu Yishi's eyes, Xu Xiang's identity is already extremely tall, where do he dare to treat it with the attitude of the past.

At this time, seeing Xu Xiang's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, he hurriedly asked, "Xu Xiang, are you not satisfied?"

Xu Xiang sighed lightly and said, "Uncle, I am already a temple guard, you know, there is no room for falsehood and deception in front of the gods. ”

Xu Yishi's expression was straight, and he hurriedly said: "That's natural, if anyone wants to deceive the gods, it is a great crime of the Zhu clan, and it is unforgivable." ”

Xu Xiang nodded slowly and said, "Not bad." His eyes froze, and he said, "Uncle, if the young people in the town are behaving like this this year, then I don't need to waste my time here." ”

Temple guards, that is a sacred profession to protect the gods, it is not enough to be full of enthusiasm, if you don't have a certain talent and strength, it is impossible to join it.

Xu Yishi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hey, Xu Xiang, let's not hide it, there are two good seedlings in our town this time." Oops, hurry up and let Wang Lingju come to power. ”

Although he had long known that among the young people in the town, only Wang Lingju and Pu Miaolin were likely to be selected as temple guards, but he was unwilling, so he let the other young people in the town perform on stage, if someone was valued by Xu Xiang, it would be an unexpected joy. Now, though, it seems, that idea has been shattered.

Wang Lingju's eyes lit up, he was sullen and unhappy for a long time below, and he was already idle with itchy hands and feet.

With a slight force on his feet, he immediately jumped into the ring, and he said loudly: "Which brother comes up and accompanies Wang to make a few moves?"

His voice was loud and full of confidence. Of course, there was silence under the ring, and no one cared about it.

Xu Yishi's face turned red, he got up, showed his loud voice, and roared angrily: "Pu Miaolin, where did you die?"

"It's coming, it's coming—"

In the distance, two figures rushed quickly, and a loud voice that was not inferior to Xu Yishi sounded almost at the same time: "I'm here!"
