Chapter 31: Is There Really a Sect Competition?
The hall of Sinong Hall is located in the north of the second floor of Haoyang City.
Along the streets surrounding the mountain, all the way forward, Xu Ke and his party rushed in the direction of the palace.
Along the way, I also met teams from various workshops under Si Nong's Palace.
Seeing these teams, Xu Ke understood a little.
It turned out that it wasn't that the sect was too bad, or that the Sinong Hall was too bad, it was just that the "Hedongfang" where he was located was too bad.
If it is said that the Sinong Hall is the bottom existence of the palaces and pavilions in the sect, then the "Hedong Fang" is the bottom existence in the Si Nong Palace.
In the team of Hedongfang, there are mostly "senior brothers", and there are only about a hundred young disciples like Xu Ke and them.
Most of the teams in the other workshops were young disciples, and the oldest was in their forties. Whether it is the personal image or the overall spiritual outlook, it is not at all comparable to the rabble of Hedongfang.
"Yo...... Isn't this a retirement home? You're also coming to take the test? ”
"Senior brother, you are wrong. They didn't come to participate in the assessment, they came to go through the motions, and they went back after a circle. ”
"Hahahaha!"
Among the other teams of Fangfang encountered on the way, some people pointed at the rabble in Hedong Fang, laughing and mocking.
In the team of Hedongfang, the young disciples were so angry that their faces were swollen and red, but those "teachers and brothers" turned a blind eye one by one, and they didn't take it seriously at all.
It may be that they have experienced too much, and the reality has long smoothed out the mood in their hearts, so that they don't care about these ridicules at all.
In the pointing and pointing of the other teams, Hedongfang and his party hurried to the hall of the Si Nong Palace.
This is a majestic hall, the shape is a bit like the Forbidden City hall that Xu Ke has seen, but it is not so gorgeous, and the blue-gray stone hall looks simple and heavy.
In front of the main hall is a huge square.
At this moment, there are already two teams in this square.
"The farmer is here!"
"Yo, it's those mud legs."
When Xu Ke and the others walked into the square, there were voices of discussion and ridicule in the two teams that were originally standing in the square.
"That's the team of the Spirit Wine Workshop and the Spirit Tea Workshop."
Senior Brother Wang pointed to the two teams in the square and introduced Xu Ke, and his words revealed a sense of envy, "They are all subordinates of His Royal Highness Si Nong, and their lives are much better than ours." ”
Xu Ke smiled and did not answer.
The spirit wine workshop and the spirit tea workshop look down on farming. Among the farming disciples, the other workshops looked down on Hedongfang.
Chains of contempt are everywhere!
After waiting in the square for more than an hour, the teams from the various squares under His Royal Highness Sinong finally arrived.
Xu Ke turned his head and glanced at the huge square, which was densely packed with people.
His Royal Highness Si Nong has jurisdiction over thirty-six farms and two workshops, each of which has more than 1,000 people, adding up to 40,000 or 50,000 people.
This is only the Si Nong Palace, and the entire Haoyang Immortal Sect is full of palaces, and I am afraid that there will be hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
With hundreds of thousands of disciples, the scale of Haoyang Immortal Sect is not small.
It's just that Xu Ke doesn't know much about the outside world, and he doesn't know what kind of position Haoyang Immortal Sect is in the cultivation world.
The only thing that can be determined is that Haoyang Immortal Sect is definitely not a top faction.
After all...... According to what Xu Ke heard, the real person in charge of the sect is also the perfect cultivation of Jindan, so the upper limit of the strength of this immortal cultivation world is the Jindan realm, right?
Just when Xu Ke was thinking wildly, a bell rang "dang".
"Silence!"
Hearing the bell, the fangs of each fang hurriedly shouted at their own teams.
Obviously, this is the boss of the Si Nong Hall who is going to appear.
As a result, the whole square suddenly fell silent, and everyone held their breath and stood up.
Even the "teachers and brothers" in Hedongfang put away their ramblings and became serious.
The next moment, a ray of light flew out of the hall and landed on the steps in front of the main hall, revealing five figures.
The person in front of him is wearing a yellow robe, with a dark fold on the collar and cuffs, embroidered with a golden black flame pattern, and a golden lotus crown on his head, and a layer of light and flame emanating from his body, as if there is a flame burning.
This person is the hall master of Sinong Palace, the Venerable Master Ming Hong.
Four other people stood behind the hall master, lined up on both sides, all wearing yellow robes, but the crown was replaced by the Wuyue crown. These four people are all elders of the Si Nong Temple.
"Meet the hall master!"
"Meet the Elders!"
Under the leadership of all the Fang Zheng, the disciples of the Si Nong Hall saluted the hall master and elders one after another.
"Excuse me!"
The hall master Ming Hong waved his hand, glanced at the audience again, and said: "In accordance with the decree of the real person in charge of teaching, on the ninth day of the lunar month, a great competition will be held between the sects. In this big competition, our agricultural palace must go all out and not slack off. ”
Speaking of this, the Venerable Master Ming Hong paused.
And then......
Everyone in the audience bowed and saluted, and said, "Obey the decree of the lord of the hall!" ”
Subsequently, the Venerable Master Ming Hong continued: "This competition is divided into three levels. ”
"The first one, the internal assessment of each workshop under His Royal Highness Si Nong."
"In the second session, the winners recommended by each party participated in the selection and assessment of the Si Nong Palace."
"In the third game, the Si Nong Hall selected the winners of the assessment and represented the Si Nong Hall to participate in the sect competition."
Hey? It's not what I've heard!
Hearing the hall master's words, Xu Ke was stunned for a moment. Didn't Senior Brother Wang say that as long as he participated in the assessment of the Si Nong Palace? Why did a representative of Sinong Hall appear to participate in the sect competition?
Originally, Xu Ke thought that this sect competition was equivalent to a "year-end assessment of Sinong Palace", but he didn't expect that there would really be a sect competition.
After thinking about it, Xu Ke also understood.
Perhaps in Senior Brother Wang's view, what "representing Sinong Hall to participate in the sect competition" is completely meaningless, and there is no need to mention it, there is no need.
Being able to participate in the promotion assessment of Si Nong Hall is already up to the sky, do you still expect a rotten place like "Hedongfang" to produce a genius who can participate in the Zongmen competition on behalf of Si Nong Palace?
Senior Brother Wang's small mistake can be understood by Xu Ke. But...... This completely disrupted my plans.
According to the original plan, Xu Ke planned to get the first place in the promotion assessment without controversy, to ensure that he would be able to successfully promote the disciple of the Si Nong Palace.
There is nothing wrong with this plan itself. The problem is that once you get the first place without dispute, you must represent Si Nong Hall to participate in the sect competition.
What is the comparison between the sects? Is it still better than farming?
It's certainly not possible. The disciples of other palace institutions do not know how to farm.
From the perspective of the entire sect, no matter which temple institution is a disciple, no matter what skill you learn, the only general assessment criterion is strength!
Therefore, once you represent Si Nong Hall to participate in the sect competition, what you compare is combat effectiveness.
Of course, this is not a problem. Competing at the same level, Xu Ke is still confident.
The only question is, will it bring a lot of trouble after winning the war?
I'm the most troublesome person.
Belch...... If you show enough combat effectiveness and make people feel that it will not affect the interests of others, there should not be much trouble.
Enough combat power has brought enough deterrence to make people easily dare not provoke.
If it does not affect the interests of others, there will be no fundamental contradictions in interests, and others will not take risks against me.
This should be fine.
