004, the invitation of fate (I)
If Shao Wu becomes the king of Ba Yuan, his deeds will be passed on in the future Ba Yuan: the sharp flickering axe was built by Ba Jun Shao Wu on the Wufu Hill back then, and suddenly turned into a magic weapon to help him win during the competition of the Baichuan City Meeting. As for the other two stone axes full of cracks, they also witnessed how thrilling and difficult the battle was that day.
When the descendants sacrifice Shaowu, they put on these three axes, which is silently telling the history and the achievements of Shaowu. Therefore, they can definitely become the instrument of the country, and they are the instruments of the country belonging to Shaowu himself, and they are even more important to the country of Ba or the future country of Pakistan than those artifacts collected in the treasury.
......
An hour later, the five kings and their respective assistants walked out of the camp and came to the center of the clearing, whether it was the cultivation of their luck or the elixir they had taken to restore their spirits, they all seemed to be refreshed at this moment. Shao Wu's expression was very relaxed, and he stood there calmly, he had already won two consecutive battles, which made the other four monarchs feel pressure.
In fact, whether the contest can win or not is only one aspect, among the five monarchs, only one patriarch is destined to be elected, and more importantly, the expression and prestige established in the contest must be considered as a human monarch. If Shaowu continues to win in a row, it is not only the battle of the patriarchs that is important, but that he may enjoy far more prestige than the other four monarchs in Ba Yuan.
The fourth battle was "Picking Grains", presided over by Sect Master Meng Yingqiu, and the master flew over the river, his expression was no longer as lazy as usual. But even when she is strict, one can still feel the almost irresistible attraction to the flattery. The beauty of the women in the world is probably worse than fate—and many of those present felt the same way.
The Shanzha Demon King on the cloud platform over there, although the two banshees in their arms are charming and have a sultry and provocative atmosphere, but if they are compared to fate, no one will pay attention to them at all.
Not mentioning what everyone thinks, he said in a coquettish voice: "This fourth competition." The White Demon Sect Master had already made it clear that he was sorting out the grains mixed with the debris, but it was difficult to judge if he wanted to separate them. Since it is presided over by this seat, then I will add a little more difficulty to it, and whoever can pick it up the cleanest within the time when the incense is lit will win. Unlike cutting, you don't have to be fast, but more detailed. ”
With a gesture of his white hand, the five boats parked on the small island in the middle of the river flew over. It came to a light stop in front of the five monarchs. This is the boat they built with their own hands yesterday in the second fight, the exact same size and shape, but it became the thing used in the fourth fight today.
Fate beckoned again, and countless small debris fell into the cabin in the air, which were many grains of grain and gravel about the size of grains, and each cabin was almost two-thirds full. Fateful smiled and said, "These things are all prepared by Chiwangqiu, I'll add a little more color to it." If anyone can win this fight, invite him to come to Meng Yingqiu to drink and talk with this seat. ”
With another flick of his fingers, another piece of silt and blades of grass flew into the cabin on the beach. The surging stirred evenly with the original gravel and grains filled every cabin.
Five battles in two days, all the things to be used are, of course, prepared by Chiwangqiu a long time ago. Including those shuttle guns, wooden stakes, and axes, they are all stored in zài's special space artifacts. The so-called masters of each faction take turns to preside, but they just stand up and make an appearance. However, the fate was obviously not satisfied with Chiwangqiu's single-handed arrangement, and temporarily adjusted the specific way of the competition.
But that's just a way to adjust, not a change in content. Picking up grain is still picking grain, but it is no longer just gravel that is mixed with the grains, but more mud, wet soil, dust, and weeds. The difficulty is several times greater than before. And if you want to sort out these things, the most suitable magic technique is not exactly the same as before.
Huwa couldn't help but secretly praise, even he could see that the other monarchs had already learned the specific content of the competition, and had made special preparations when selecting assistants, how could the Sect Master of Destiny not see it?
When Jian Sha did this, no one could say anything against it, because the fight itself was still picking grain. When the people in each village inspect the grains during the autumn harvest and collect food in the wild, the debris excluded is not only gravel, but also soil and grass blades, which is more in line with the original intention of picking up grain.
Huwa secretly observed the reactions of the other monarchs, and sure enough, she found that Xiangjun Zimu frowned, muttering something in her mouth, obviously an accident. And Qiu You, the assistant beside him, quietly said a few words, it seemed that he should be comforting Xiangjun, which may mean that although there are unexpected changes, he still has the means to deal with it, and please don't worry about Yunyun.
There was another action next, she took out an object out of thin air, about a foot long and very small, and those with poor eyesight could not see it clearly in mid-air, it was a pillar of incense. "Incense" is a rare thing in Ba Yuan, and it is rare for ordinary people to see it unless it is a person of high status or a particularly heavy ritual.
Incense is the collection of all kinds of natural fragrance to make a variety of spices, of course, very precious. In addition to wearing, it can also be made into a one-time lit object to fumigate the object with the smell of its combustion, and even more, it can be lit with a special spice to make the smell of the room more pleasant and comfortable.
Xiangmu City, which originally belonged to Zheng Muguo, specializes in a kind of spice. When a kind of white wood is wounded or eaten by insects during growth, it will naturally secrete an oily sap to wrap the wound, forming a layer of dark wood that is different from normal white wood, such wood has a natural fragrance, and it is soothing to burn.
The female cultivators on Meng Yingqiu used this fragrant wood as raw material and made all kinds of incense into a method similar to that of a refining vessel. It was very expensive, but it was very popular with the nobility of various countries. Wufuqiu has produced things, such as those axes, and Meng Yingqiu's disciples will also process some things for sale, the most important of which is all kinds of incense.
The incense stick taken out by the fateful spirit, the tiger baby knows, and the young man ordered this kind of thing at an important court meeting, which is a kind of ritual vessel, which looks formal and solemn. This thing has the magic of calming the nerves, calming the mind, and regulating qi, and it is also helpful for meditation and cultivation. Of course, Shaowu, as the monarch, did not lack this thing, and specially gave the tiger baby a box, so that he could light a pillar when he meditated on weekdays.
The tiger baby is almost never used, because he always has a pang, vine gold, and vine flowers around him, and these canine-born demon cultivators have an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and have become a kind of natural supernatural power with spiritual sense. Although this kind of incense helps to calm the mind, it will interfere with the innate spiritual sense of the dog demon, so the tiger baby simply does not order it.
The fate of the evil also knew that when he took out such a pillar of incense stick in mid-air, many people in the distance could not see it. Therefore, when she placed the incense stick in front of her, a phantom of incense sticks several feet long appeared in the open space, and the incense was immediately lit and emitted curling green smoke. For a while, everyone present seemed to smell the refreshing fragrance in a hazy way, and felt comfortable and comfortable.
The incense stick is lit and transformed into a virtual display, accompanied by divine thoughts, telling the five monarchs that this scene is not blindly faster, if everyone can finish it in the time of a pillar of incense, the winner is not the one who finishes first. Everyone can use their own means to pick up the grains in the boat, and after a pillar of incense, if everyone has finished picking up, then see who picks up the cleanest.
Huwa sighed in her heart, this sect master really has a lot of tricks, lit a pillar of such a good smelling incense, and added a color to this competition, and the winner can drink and talk with her. If it spreads, I'm afraid that there are countless people in Ba Yuan who will envy these five monarchs in the field, and they can't replace them. But the tiger baby also knows the agreement between Shaowu and fate, it seems that this time, Shaowu must win!
Huwa also noticed that when he lit the incense stick, he glanced at himself with a smile, and he also understood in his heart that this sect master was confident that he would help Shaowu win, so he would do that. The reason why the fate demon temporarily adjusted the way of the fight was also for a certain monarch who might have prepared in advance, so that Shaowu and Huwa were more sure.
Huwa couldn't help but smile bitterly, don't talk about other competitions, it is precisely this one, he is absolutely sure of winning, and it is best to be faster. In fact, it is an extra move, and it is also tantamount to creating a little trouble for the tiger baby. But it doesn't matter, the tiger baby can still win easily, and the other monarchs are afraid to frown.
Since it's not about time, it takes at least a meal to watch the incense sticks, so there's no need to be too anxious. Shao Wu took the initiative to ask, "Senior brother, what do you think we should do?"
Huwa replied: "As a king who collects grain in public, it is also a symbol of bowing to work, so you might as well pick up grains like all the people in the country." ...... As for this fight, the junior brother has his own way to help you win. ”
Hearing this, the young man nodded, walked to the side of the boat, and bent down to carefully pick the grains among the pile of debris. He picks it with his hands, and blows away the dust and wipes it clean with each grain he picks. And the tiger baby stood by his side, standing with his hands in his hands, and the young man put all the grains that were picked out and cleaned in the hands of the tiger baby.
Everyone present felt puzzled again, and their hearts were quite puzzled, and secretly said that this Ba Jun is really picking up grain? Such a boatload of grains, not to mention the kung fu of a pillar of incense, will not be able to pick up tomorrow! But in the previous three competitions, Ba Jun always had amazing moves, and now if he does this again, everyone will not dare to underestimate it, and it is expected that there will be another means in the future.
Looking at the other monarchs, they have already begun to exert their magical powers. Bo Jun and his assistant Fu Kui lifted the ship up and sifted it through the air, and the blades of grass were immediately sifted out, followed by the grains, which were collected and piled up in a pile by the method of imperial objects, leaving gravel and dirt at the bottom of the boat.
