Chapter 20: Three More Days Later!
Great Jin, Hongfa Palace.
Seven days have passed, but the game between Dean Wen and Ji Xiaohua is still continuing.
At this moment, the game is over, and Ji Xiaohua wins with the advantage of the second son.
Dean Wen stroked his long beard and said indifferently: "It's already the ninth game." β
The corners of Ji Xiaohua's mouth raised slightly, and at the same time, her wrist flicked, and all the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard returned to the stone box together, and then she said leisurely: "Wouldn't it be good to have another game and make up the 'Dinghu Ten Rounds'?" Maybe the chess games will be compiled into a book and can be passed on to future generations. β
The lush and majestic peak where the Dharma Hall is located is called Dinghu Peak.
Dean Wen was slightly stunned, lifted his pipe and took a puff before he smiled: "I didn't expect you Ji Xiaohua to tell cold jokes." β
Dean Wen and Ji Xiaohua fought fiercely in nine games, and the two fought to four wins and four losses, and there was one game that formed a rare cycle of three tribulations without a win. But just because the two are opponents doesn't mean they're both masters.
Dean Wen is clear about his chess strength - playing against Zhu Yuanbai, the first seat of the Dangkou Division, who is known as the first big player in the Great Jin Chess Dao, he must honestly put the four sons on the first place before he can have a back and forth.
This kind of chess power is said to be recorded into chess games and passed down to future generations, but it is inevitable that the sky is high and the earth is thick.
Ji Xiaohua crossed her four fingers on her chest, her fingers were slenderer than a woman's, and her nails were painted bright purple. I only heard him say leisurely: "The chess game itself is insignificant; But it is not impossible to add luster because of people and things! β
Dean Wen frowned.
Ji Xiaohua paused slightly, and said leisurely: "It won't be long before the results will come out." β
At the beginning, of course, he had no plan to fight ten rounds with Dean Wenhua.
According to the pre-plan, the assessment of the Star Ruins Secret Realm was postponed for half a day, and the goal was achieved; Please also take out the Tianguan quadratom ontology, and calculate the "revelation", which is already an additional harvest.
If there is no accident, Ji Xiaohua should say goodbye and leave.
Unexpectedly, there was such an earth-shattering change as Xu Zhenyun's "Liuhe Linglong Tower"!
After some disputes, the news was given to Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty and the head of the Demon Division.
It didn't take long for the reply to arrive.
The letterhead sent back by Emperor Wu of Jin was very simple, with only three words: "Got it." β
The letterhead from the first lord was also three words: "Wait and see." β
Such an edict is obviously a natural one.
And Ji Xiaohua really "wait and see" and stay here to fight against the President of the Wen Bureau.
The game is fake, and the main thing is to try to get the results of the "Star Ruins Secret Realm" assessment as soon as possible!
At this time, in addition to the two people who were playing against each other, Chen Hanfeng, who was fighting in a direct battle, and Liang Hongbo, who was not in his mind, there was one more person.
This woman, about thirty years old, wears a blue cloak.
The woman has a good face, but she is not stunning; The eyebrows and eyes are lazy and free.
What is especially special is that her lips are dark blue, and it is obvious that she was not born like this, but is smeared with heterochromatic rouge, which is extremely eye-catching at a glance.
The woman held a piece of cardboard in her hand, the back of which was full of carved patterns, but the front was not very distinct. From time to time, she glanced at the palm of her hand "engraving", and sometimes looked down at the bronze hall halfway up the mountainside.
All wonderful.
The position is the same as Chen Hanfeng, the vice president of the Fang Chen Academy of the Great Jin Immortal Dynastyββ
But she is the first-ranked vice president, ahead of Chen Hanfeng.
The tenth game has not yet begun.
Quan Miaoyan looked at the ripples that appeared on the "engraving" in his palm, and suddenly spoke: "As of just now, the disciples who have entered the ordinary secret realm have all completed their assessments. β
"The total number is two hundred, and thirty-six have successfully passed the test; Twelve people died in the secret realm. The remaining 150 people may have suffered minor damage, but most of them are fine. β
"The fifteen people who entered the 'Nine Wings' secret realm are currently twelve out of the realm, half of them succeed or fail, and there is no death record. Three results are still pending. β
Although the "Nine Wings" secret realm is more difficult, those who can enter it are all top-ranked disciples, so that the success rate is higher; Even if it is not good, it will be a whole body retreat.
Dean Wen nodded slightly.
Chen Hanfeng responded softly, and said in a deep voice: "The success rate is close to two and a half percent, which is not bad." β
Ji Xiaohua picked up a sunspot and dropped it on the chessboard, and said quietly: "Success or failure is about to be decided." β
Chen Hanfeng's expression was just stretched, and when he heard Ji Xiaohua answer, he locked it up again.
Quan Miaoyan raised her eyebrows, and said with some hesitation: "Hall Master Ji seems to have ignored something; What you expect is probably not as fast as you think. β
Ji Xiaohua was stunned, and her handsome and bewitching facial features suddenly froze.
Suddenly, a brisk light swept over, and the three colors flowed, blending into the smoke and dust.
After a while, his figure was revealed, a middle-aged man in a big red robe.
The red-robed middle-aged man saluted the two vice presidents, Dean Wen, Quan Miaoyan, and Chen Hanfeng, in turn.
Chen Hanfeng frowned and said, "Hall Master Ye, what's the matter with you?" β
Hall Master Ye's expression was obviously a little hesitant, and he was not as resolute as before, and said in a low voice: "My subordinates are brave enough to ask-after three days, will the Pengcheng banquet be held as scheduled?" β
Chen Hanfeng looked incomprehensible and said unhappily: "This is a rule, of course it will be held as scheduled." In today's system, after the Pengcheng banquet, there is the Tianyuan Temple Grand Sacrifice Ceremony and the Entrance Ceremony, and the time schedule is extremely tight, how can it be delayed! Why bother? β
Dean Moon's large pipe stalled two inches closer to his mouth, as if he had thought of something.
When he looked up, he happened to look at Ji Xiaohua with four eyes.
In the general election of the Great Jin Dynasty, more than 20,000 new entrants are selected every year. More than 20,000 people were killed from thousands of troops, and in one fell swoop from the mortal road to the immortal road, the fish jumped into the dragon gate, and completely changed their own fate; But for the behemoth of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, it is nothing.
Those who really entered the eyes of the Great Jin Law were the dozens of disciples who participated in the additional assessment of the "Star Ruins Secret Realm" and finally succeeded. Only such characters can be called the word "heirloom", and they are the mainstay of the future of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.
Every year, after the assessment of the "Star Ruins Secret Realm", Fang Chen Academy will set up a banquet called "Pengcheng Banquet", which will be presided over by the deans of Fang Chen Academy in person, to wash the dust and encourage the disciples who have passed the secret realm assessment.
For those who have not yet been formally awarded Xuanjing, it is really a highlight moment in their lives.
The holding time of the "Pengcheng Banquet" has always been fixed ten days after the opening of the Star Ruins Secret Realm.
Because the speed of time in the secret realm of the star ruins is different from the outside world.
The assessment content in the major secret realms is cumbersome and simple; In the perception of the parties, the fast tea kung fu can clear the customs, and the slow one may even take half a year.
But in the outside world, time consumption is a fixed value:
One hundred and eight thousand small realms, fixed for seven days; The nine auxiliary realms, known as the "Nine Wings", are locked for ten days; As for the main realm "Liuhe Linglong Tower", when entering the realm, the death sentence is 13 days.
Because the "Liuhe Linglong Pagoda" was uninhabited, the time of the "Pengcheng Banquet" was set ten days after the opening of the secret realm.
It doesn't have to be to save those three days; Rather, it is closely related to the special time schedule of the follow-up lecturer of the "First Lecture on Initiation", which has more room to spare.
But nowβ
After hundreds of years, there is one more trialist in the Liuhe Linglong Pagoda!
Hall Master Ye also has his own abacus.
In case this "genius" really came out of the Linglong Pagoda alive; But the "Pengcheng Banquet" has already ended early, isn't it a little embarrassing, it seems that Da Jin lacks a little confidence in him?
And if it is delayed for three days, once the dream comes true, it will become a good story of "knowing each other and promising each other, and not doubting each other at first sight......
Everyone felt that Xu Zhenyun was dead, but he felt that what if, what if?
Chen Hanfeng's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Do you want to postpone it for three days?" β
Hall Master Ye was about to nod, but seeing that Vice Dean Han Feng's expression was not good, he had to obediently eat the words in his mouth.
The corners of Chen Hanfeng's mouth showed a faint sneer: "Hall Master Ye wouldn't think that someone would be able to come out of the Liuhe Linglong Pagoda alive, right?" β
"The opening of the secret realm of the Star Ruins has been postponed for half a day; After the trial, the Pengcheng banquet will be postponed for another three days? Do you think the joke is not big enough, do you really want me to make this year's national and dynasty elections a topic of conversation after the morning tea of the Great Liang and Great Chu cultivators? β
"Rules are rules, and they can't be changed!"
Hall Master Ye frowned slightly, and secretly said that he was unlucky, so he could only resign himself to saying: "The subordinates know, and the subordinates retire." β
He hid his face with his sleeves, and was about to retreat in embarrassment.
As soon as Ji Xiaohua raised her head, she saw that Dean Wen was indifferent, and immediately shouted: "Wait!" β
Hall Master Ye pretended not to hear and continued to retreat quickly.
Ji Xiaohua's eyes flashed, and she shouted: "Ye Dachuan, stop me!" β
Hall Master's body trembled, and he was immediately frozen like a stone statue. Raised his head stiffly, and said stiffly: "What is the opinion of Hall Master Ji?" β
In terms of position, Ji Xiaohua is the hall master of the Snow Lion Hall of the Demon Town Division, and the hall master Ye is the hall master of Fang Chenyuan, although the status of the Snow Lion Hall is slightly higher than half a level, but the two sides have no subordinate relationship.
In terms of cultivation, both of them are four grades.
But it is also the four grades, because the two sides have different Taoist types, the "Xuanjing remainder" that symbolizes the future of cultivation is different, and whether it is potential or status, it can be said that there is a world of difference.
In front of the aura of "the first person in the monument and the first person in the fourth grade", he didn't have the courage to pretend that he didn't hear it.
Ji Xiaohua said lightly: "I know that the schedule for this period is very tight. But Ji's suggestion is - unless Xu Zhenyun dies early, wait until the end of the thirteen days! I hope that Dean Wen can refer to it carefully. β
A sunspot in the palm of his hand turned into powder and slowly fell on the chessboard.
Chen Hanfeng was stunned and said in surprise: "Ji Xiaohua, you are so crazy!" Talking to the dean with such an attitude! β
"I didn't hear that Xu Fengzhi had any friendship with you back then, and you were so blue-eyed to his son?"
Ji Xiaohua is more sharp, and her potential is thicker, but in terms of current cultivation, she is still inferior to herself!
and Dean Wen, the head of the six academies, the gap is even greater.
Such a hard-line attitude is obviously out of proportion.
Quan Miaoyan blinked, lightly opened his blue lips and said: "In my opinion, Hall Master Ji is not blue-eyed to Xu Fengzhi's son, but conceited about himself. β
Ji Xiaohua laughed, as if a sharp breath erupted, like a sharp sword out of its sheath, straight up to the clouds.
Ji Xiaohua's knuckles knocked on the chessboard, and said loudly: "Those who know me, Vice Dean Quan is also!" β
"This Xu Zhenyun is superb, and his qualifications are comparable to the number one in the general election. The theory of love and talent, of course, is illusory. Taking a step back, there are not a few people who have lost the top name in the martial arts in the general election of the country, so what's the big deal? β
Chen Hanfeng said coldly: "Then why do you insist on waiting?" β
Ji Xiaohua's speech slowed down, but her voice became thicker: "Once everything is done, there is cause and effect." β
"Not only my Ji Xiaohua, Senior Sister Yuhan is now the seventh in the monument, and she is extremely talented, and she was accepted as a personal disciple by the first adult three years ago. Although she is usually ignorant, her spiritual awareness of the Zen path she practices is even more than my manifestation. β
"If I'm not mistaken, Senior Sister Yuhan is also the first time in my life to use the right of special recommendation."
"The 'first time' between me and Senior Sister Yuhan, we all looked at each other together and recommended a dead person? Why don't I believe it? β
"What about the Liuhe Linglong Tower? No one has broken through before, and there may not be no one in the future! Personnel metabolism, back and forth between the past and the present, who can say for sure? β
Quan Miaoyan thought for a long time, and said softly: "Dean." I thought that if I waited for three days, it would not be in the way, and I could prevaricate by finding a reason at will; Even if it doesn't work, it may not leave anything to talk about. β
Quan Miaoyan smiled and continued: "For example, let's just say that Vice Dean Hanfeng drank too much fake wine and was sleeping at home, so he was delayed for three days. β
Chen Hanfeng's face darkened.
Dean Wen nodded lightly and said conclusively: "In the end, one day is enough to worship in the temple; Wait three more days. β
"As long as Xu Zhenyun has not died in advance, he will wait until the thirteenth day of sunset."
