Chapter 6 Shiliu Village Selection
Early the next morning
The people of Shiliu Village came to the village platform early.
A handsome young man who looked personable passed by Shi Potian and said provocatively.
"Shi Potian, I will compete with you today, and after that, everyone will know who is the genius of Shiliu Village.
Shi Potian replied indifferently: "Brother Yang Chen, please give me a lot of advice later."
I saw Yang Chen snort coldly, stopped speaking, and walked towards the crowd.
Shi Potian's gaze turned to the other side, searching for Liu Wushuang's figure in the crowd.
At this time, Liu Shijing and the other three village elders slowly walked to the top of the village platform.
Liu Shijing: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet, today is the day of the grand selection held in Shiliu Village once every ten years. I have consulted with the other three elders to work out the rules for this selection. It is now up to me to read it, and all who participate are to listen carefully. ”
Liu Shijing: "There is not much difference between this selection and the previous ones, and the competition and assessment will be conducted from four aspects: light martial arts, strength and weakness of martial arts, literary attainments and mental cultivation, and I and the other three elders will supervise the whole process as the chief examiner. The competition is slightly different from previous years, all the contestants need to pass through the water floating, willow formation, Linglong Pass, misty forest four levels in turn, the first two to pass is the selection of the people who have entered the WTO, Shiliu Village has reached the age of the weak crown and is not more than 30 years old men and women can participate.
Shiliu Village is already very lively at this time, after all, a grand event that is only held once in ten years, even if it is not selected, it is an opportunity to challenge yourself and make an appearance. On weekdays, everyone hides deeply, and rarely has the opportunity to perform, in order to get the recognition and favor of the elders and the girls they like. Everyone in the village was happy to participate.
Liu Shijing looked at the eagerly waiting crowd in the audience and continued: "All the contestants should focus on winning over themselves through competition, friendly competition, are you ready?" ”
Under the village platform, all the contestants were already gearing up, and they couldn't wait to shout in unison: "Ready." ”
Liu Shijing didn't say anything more, and with an order, all the contestants began to run to the first level: "Water Floating".
The first level, floating on the water.
In the willow lake outside Shiliu Village, a fist-thick iron cable is laid between the willow lakes, and a wooden plank is laid every two meters on the iron cable, a total of 608 pieces, reaching the opposite shore of the lake. Contestants need to step on the plank, do not fall into the water, and reach the other side of the lake to pass the first hurdle. If you fall into the lake halfway, you will be eliminated. This first level, "floating on the water" may not be so easy to pass.
Among the crowd, a woman in blue was as light as a swallow, extremely fast, and came first. I saw that its slender jade feet tapped the wooden plank, and then its body soared forward, and in the blink of an eye, it stepped on more than a dozen planks, and galloped towards the other side of the lake.
Everyone in the village applauded and applauded.
In the competition, a man in white seemed to be unwilling to be left behind, and his body rushed out instantly, and the second stepped on the plank, but the plank was extremely light, and he almost fell into the lake accidentally, and the man was also shocked in his heart, but fortunately, the man was not weak, and quickly stabilized his body to catch up, but the speed was a little worse than the woman in blue.
This person is Yang Chen, who has just provoked Shi Potian, and he has made light achievements, and he is also a leader in the village, and there are only a handful of people who can compare with him with light functions.
And Shi Potian's light work is mediocre, and he is already the tenth person who stepped on the wooden board.
Of course, there are also dozens of contestants who were careless and accidentally fell into the lake with one foot in the air and were directly eliminated.
On the village platform, an elder exclaimed: "Brother Liu, I'm afraid that the woman in blue is not the granddaughter of your Liu family, she is really extraordinary in martial arts, and she is both talented and beautiful." ”
Liu Shijing was also very pleased at this time, nodded and replied with a smile: "Thank you Elder Yang for your compliment, for raising your love, for raising your love." Then he stroked his beard and continued to look at the willow lake.
Yes, the woman in blue is Liu Shijing's granddaughter, Liu Wushuang. At this time, Liu Wushuang was almost to the center of the lake, the iron rope shook violently, and the wooden planks on the surface of the lake were also shaky, flickering and flickering, making Liu Wushuang frown, and had to slow down and move forward carefully. And Yang Chen behind him was even more anxious and difficult to balance, because he was separated from everyone, his center of gravity was even more unstable, and he almost fell into the lake several times. On the contrary, the speed is not as fast as the people behind him.
Shi Potian followed everyone, although the iron rope swayed from side to side, his body moved with the trend, and it was rare to be able to maintain balance, and the speed was not slow but fast. The closer they got to the center of the lake, the more difficult it was for everyone to hold themselves, and the easier it was for them to lose their shape, and the iron ropes began to swing irregularly, and people were constantly thrown into the lake and eliminated. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the people have fallen into the lake.
Suddenly half of the people were missing, and the swaying amplitude of the iron cable began to decrease, Liu Wushuang was engrossed in paying attention to the floating state of the wooden plank, stabilizing his body, his body undulating with the plank, as if he was integrated into the iron cable, and his body quickly passed through the center of the lake.
With his extraordinary sense of balance, Shi Potian is now close behind Yang Chen, if it is only about light skills, Shi Potian may never be able to catch up with Yang Chen, but at this time, on this violently and irregularly shaking iron cable, Shi Potian has a chance to catch up with Yang Chen.
Yang Chen saw Shi Potian chasing after him, and he was uneasy in his heart, thinking that he couldn't lose to him like this.
Just when Shi Potian landed next, Yang Chen climbed the iron cable under his feet hard, and the wooden plank where Shi Potian landed instantly shifted, stepping on the air with one foot, and Shi Potian quickly stepped on the iron cable with the other foot, so as not to fall into the lake. Shi Potian didn't dare to take it lightly anymore, slowed down a position, and still chased after him.
Yang Chen saw that Shi Potian did not fall into the lake, his heart was unhappy, but there was no way, at this time he had slowed down, had taken precautions, and had reached the center of the lake, it was himself who might accidentally fall into the lake, so naturally he didn't dare to be distracted anymore, and began to stabilize his body and move forward carefully.
The sound of a few more people falling came from behind, and at this moment, Shi Potian's feet accelerated violently, quickly tapped twice on the plank, and his body galloped away.
Yang Chen: "What, it's not good. Yang Chen couldn't react, seeing that Shi Potian was about to stagger, Yang Chen struck out with a palm of his left hand, who knew that Shi Potian had already prepared, and freed up one hand to palm him, the two of them were separated by a touch, Yang Chen's body paused slightly, and Shi Potian's body was a little faster, and in a blink of an eye, Shi Potian had surpassed Yang Chen by several positions, at this time, the iron cable was still shaking violently, Shi Potian had no distractions, his feet not only accelerated, his body was not chaotic at all, and he quickly passed through the center of the lake, and it was impossible for Yang Chen to catch up with Shi Potian in the center of the lake. Seeing that Shi Potian was getting farther and farther away, Yang Chen had to stabilize his body again and move forward cautiously.
Yang Chen: "Damn, let's see." Yang Chen said indignantly and then stopped talking.
Liu Wushuang had already arrived at the other side of the lake at this time, turned around and took a look, and saw that Shi Potian had already caught up, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "It seems that Brother Potian still has two hits." ”
Then, he turned around and ran towards the next level of willow formation.
