Chapter 55: Brotherhood, Favor

The next day, Li Youshan summoned Wang Xiao and five other disciples to announce the decision.

"You should also know that the young Fengming will be held soon, and I will discuss with your master and decide that the five of you will compete with each other and decide who will participate in the young phoenix. ”

Li Xianglian, as the only daughter of the head of the family, was originally qualified, but Xu Qinshuang didn't want her to participate in this.

Liu Zhenwu was puzzled: "In the past, the master made the decision for such a major event, why did we let our own brothers choose this time?"

Generally, the candidate for Xiao Fengming must be the head of the house to decide. Therefore, Huang Ziwen will be added to the personnel who participated in the competition last time, otherwise with Huang Ziwen's real strength, it will definitely not be enough. The Lotus Root Hall used to be the same, but this time Li Youshan suddenly said that it was for the disciples to choose by themselves, which couldn't help but make everyone wonder.

The second senior brother, Zhou Zhenggang, shut up as usual and did not speak.

Li Youshan glanced at the disciples with a solemn expression: "This time the young phoenix is not small, it is different from previous years, the holy war is imminent, and each sect will select the strongest disciples." If you take it lightly, it is not impossible to lose in the preliminary round. Therefore, the teacher decided to let you show your own skills and rely on your own strength to select the participants. ”

All the disciples should say yes in unison.

Wang Xiao looked at the few senior brothers standing quietly on the side, a little nervous in his heart, but more emotional. These senior brothers have different temperaments, either heroic or calm, handsome or indifferent, they are all heroic and handsome for a while, and I don't know how Li Youshan taught them. Thinking that at the beginning, I could only lie on the wall and watch them perform martial arts in the inner courtyard with great envy, looking at the cyan lotus petals on their chests and looking forward to the future, but at this time, I was already wearing the same clothes as them, standing with them, and being qualified to compete with them, and my heart was really churning.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao couldn't help but glance at his master again, if it weren't for the existence of this mother, who was extremely attached to him, he would ...... How could it be today?

Well...... By the way, on that day, the third senior brother had already practiced the doppelganger technique of "Raising a glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadow became a trio", if he fought against him today, how should he break it? After more than a year, the third senior brother's moves must be much more mellow and skilled...... It seems that it is really not so simple to defeat this third senior brother. And although the fourth senior brother has always been low-key and indifferent, but he can be valued by the master, it must be unusual, he pays too little attention to the fourth senior brother on weekdays, and he doesn't even know what types of senior brother's spells are mostly used, and it is really difficult to fight when he starts......

When Wang Xiao was worried in his heart, the third senior brother Liu Mingfeng and the fourth senior brother Lu Fuzhong suddenly looked at each other and smiled, and then Liu Mingfeng suddenly smiled at Wang Xiao and asked, "Little junior brother, I heard that you sent another poor Qi to Steward Li yesterday?"

Wang Xiao didn't understand why Liu Mingfeng suddenly said this, but Shi Li nodded and said, "Third senior brother is good, yes, I don't know why senior brother asked about this?"

Liu Mingfeng sighed and stepped forward: "Disciple...... I probably understand why Shizun made such an arrangement...... The disciple knew that his cultivation was shallow, and this time the young phoenix sounded, and the disciple did not dare to compete for the first. On the trip of the young phoenix, the disciples wished the other brothers and sisters a triumphant return here. ”

Seeing Liu Mingfeng say this, Lu Fu also stepped forward and said, "The disciple also chose to quit." The disciple is naturally not the opponent of the senior brother and the second senior brother. Moreover, the disciple has long heard that the little junior brother practices very hard, and he has been fighting demon beasts in Fangcun Mountain all the year round, and he has also seen the scars on the little junior brother's body...... Although the little junior brother has not been in the school for a long time, he ...... The disciple knew that his strength was far from being comparable to that of the junior brother, and this time the young phoenix was singing, and the disciple should quit. ”

Where did Wang Xiao think that the third senior brother and the fourth senior brother who had entered the school several years earlier than him actually gave up their places so easily, and only said in fear: "The younger brother never dares to be, the cultivation of the two senior brothers is far deeper than the younger brother, and it has always been the goal of the younger brother's heart, and the younger brother is never sure that he can gain the upper hand on the two senior brothers." ”

Li Youshan smiled happily: "Okay, my disciples of the Lotus Root Hall naturally have to know how to be brothers, friends and brothers, and the three of you are like this, and you are very satisfied with the teacher." Well, Mingfeng, Fu Chong, you two are good. However, since you two know that you are not enough, then you should work harder in the future, and you must not be so lazy again. Originally, the teacher was also going to use Wang Xiao to beat you one or two, but seeing that although the two of you are slack in practice, you still know the truth of being a human being, so I don't take the blame. Pay attention to yourself in the future...... Well, that's it. You guys are good at yourself, don't lose the face of my Lotus Root Hall!"

Liu Mingfeng and Lu Fu were both drenched in cold sweat, and bowed their heads and said yes.

In fact, the two of them are also diligent, but the so-called son of a daughter can't sit down, both of them are from a family, and their lives are worry-free, and the two of them have not suffered any painful experiences, so they naturally lack the desperate and hard-working spirit of a poor cultivator or an avenger on the street. In terms of personality, they are not like Liu Zhenwu who are alternative martial arts idiots, so even after practicing for several years, they still only reach the peak of the middle rank of the human rank.

These two people are not stupid people, after hearing Li Youshan announce that they would decide the candidate for Xiao Fengming, and thinking that Wang Xiao has always been favored by Xu Qinshuang, he naturally knew that this decision would definitely be more beneficial to Wang Xiao. And when he learned that Wang Xiao was able to hunt and kill a poor Qi, he realized that this little junior brother was extraordinary, so he naturally rested his heart of fighting.

Xu Qinshuang watched coldly on the side for a long time, and then she also smiled: "Okay, since that's the case, then this time, Zhenwu will take Zhenggang and Xiao'er to participate." By the way, Xiao'er, you can go to the market in the south of the city with all the senior brothers in a while, and buy some things with the senior brothers. ”

"Yes, Master. Wang smiled before asking, "Master, I don't know what to buy?"

Xu Qinshuang smiled: "You don't know, this young Fengming has rules. This is not an ordinary competition, but a friendly competition between various factions, just to test the strength of the disciples of each faction, so there are many special rules......"

With Xu Qinshuang's eloquent narration, Wang Xiao learned the basic rules of this young phoenix.

This chick phoenix is just an event similar to the University Games, not a life-and-death duel, let alone unscrupulous means for winning or losing, although sometimes serious injuries are inevitable, but generally at most serious injuries, wounding people to death is rare.

And one of the very important rules is that in every battle, each participating disciple is only allowed to use basic weapons and armor, and is not allowed to use more than one magic weapon.

Of course, this is to avoid the wealthy gate sending a magic weapon or charm to the participating disciples, and then directly use the magic weapon to smash the opponent to death as soon as he enters the field.

You must know that if two people with similar skills compete, and one of them has a magic weapon, even the lowest magic weapon, then the balance of victory will tilt a little.

And if the wealth is as rich as the Yunmeng Sect, and their disciples are equipped with a magic weapon, then even if it is the middle of the human rank against the upper human rank, then the result is difficult to say.

And it is not impossible to give a cultivator at the bottom of a person's rank a large number of refined talismans, and let him smash a person to death in the middle rank.

But if you use magic weapons to smash people, it won't show the true skills of both sides of the game.

Originally, it was completely forbidden to use magic weapons, but later a judge-level person raised objections, thinking that the technical skills of using magic weapons are also an aspect of strength, so the rules were slightly relaxed, and in the same competition, only one magic weapon below the spirit weapon was allowed.

And although the attack spell or something is not explicitly prohibited, the disciples of the competition will consciously not use it, after all, the ultimate goal of Xiao Fengming is not to kill the opponent, but to use his performance to make the judges look at it, and then select the three major sects and some major sects.

Another one that is completely forbidden is the pill that temporarily increases strength.

This is the equivalent of banning doping during sporting events on Earth.

In the Shura realm, there are many, many more stimulant-like drugs than on earth. After all, this is a world of battles and wars. Therefore, all kinds of drugs that temporarily increase strength are endless.

When doing a battle of life and death, taking this kind of elixir is not only not wrong, but it is almost a necessary thing, but on the occasion of the nature of the competition like Xiao Fengming, it is naturally necessary to completely ban it, and anyone who uses it will be disqualified.

We need to compare the teaching ability between sects, not drugs!

Of course, basic weapons and equipment can still be had.

As long as it is not part of the magic weapon series, a slightly sharper weapon, or clothing with slightly higher defense, it is also acceptable.

After all, no matter how sharp an ordinary weapon was, it couldn't pierce the cultivator's shield. Whether it is an ice shield or a wind shield, it is not something that ordinary weapons can pierce.

And no matter how tough the clothes are, they can't stop the fireball sword qi.

As for the heavy armor made of steel, although this one does not belong to the category of magic weapons, it does have a certain defensive effect on sword qi or something, but it ............ Everyone is a scholar, a Confucian lineage, and everyone wears cloth armor. You wear a plate armor and chain mail and run up to fight with other people wearing Confucian shirts? Shame on people! You might as well take medicine!

So, there are some problems here, because even if it is cloth armor, there is a difference.

A piece of clothing made of celestial silk or fairy cloud brocade, although it is also an ordinary Confucian shirt, but after some refining, it can also have a good magic defense effect. Although this effect is not comparable to even the lowest level of defensive magic weapons, it is at least much stronger than nothing.

If both of them run out of oil and lose the true element of defense, then the sputtered flame cannot ignite the silk, but it can burn the one wearing ordinary silk into a song, and the name of that song is "Burn Firebird".

Similarly, in addition to silk clothes, there are other high-quality materials made of trousers, shoes, bandanas and belts. These things are not magic weapons, but they are much better than ordinary clothing.

It's a kind of sideball.

Chinese have always been good at playing side balls, no matter what the world.

Often a piece of low-level equipment is inferior to a person, and some troubles and disadvantages may arise. For example, a good headscarf can protect your hair from being burned, while a headscarf worn by ordinary people may turn your hair into fuel.

These items are definitely not cheap, but except for Xiao Fengming, there are not many things that are used on weekdays, so I didn't prepare them deliberately.

Hearing this, Wang Xiao suddenly became worried, his sword was a spiritual weapon, and he hurriedly asked: "Then, will there be a pre-competition test?

Liu Zhenwu replied: "This is not true, you can bring ten or eight magic weapons." But you can't use more than one piece on the field. Otherwise, you will be judged to lose. ”

"What if there is a personal weapon that is a magic weapon, but you have long been used to it?" Wang Xiao asked worriedly.

Liu Zhenwu replied: "That's not the case, for magic weapons, if you are used to using them on weekdays and want to be surprised in battle, you can also only use magic weapons as ordinary weapons, as long as it is not the special effect of using magic weapons, it is allowed." I've seen a cunning guy before, yes, when I first participated in the chick phoenix song, there was a guy in Guishengmen at that time, he was used to using a treasure-level Xuantie sword on weekdays, but during the competition, he didn't use the Xuantie Sword, which is a magic weapon, but only used the Xuantie Sword as an ordinary weapon, but secretly prepared a jade magic weapon, so that the opponent only used another burst when he was only on guard against his Xuantie Sword, thus defeating his opponent. The guy ...... But according to the rules, although he held a treasure weapon, he only regarded it as an ordinary weapon, and he did only use a magic weapon in a battle, so he did not violate the rules. Little junior brother, if you really get on the field, be careful that some people use this trick!"

Wang smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Qinshuang said: "Xiao'er, as the youngest junior brother, you will buy the ordinary items that several senior brothers need this time!"

Wang Xiao naturally agreed.

Liu Zhenwu said: "Senior Lady, this little thing, the disciple can buy it himself! ”

Xu Qinshuang said with a smile: "Zhenwu, you little junior brother, but you have a lot of private money. At present, among the few disciples in our Lotus Root Hall, there is no one more abundant than him! In the past year or so, he has hunted countless in Fangcun Mountain, and I am afraid that he already has savings of twenty or thirty thousand yuan. If you don't let him buy it, who will you let come?"

When Liu Zhenwu and the others heard this, they all looked at Wang Xiao with incredible eyes, full of surprise and horror.

Although Xu Qinshuang said this as if she wanted Wang Xiao to pay money, in fact, she was helping Wang Xiao Liwei.

Twenty or thirty thousand silver taels, how many demon beasts do you need to hunt to do it?

The demon beasts at the lower level of the human rank, except for the fox and tiger demon beasts, which are worth nearly a hundred taels of silver, are not very valuable. Then, if you want to earn twenty or thirty thousand by selling demon beasts...... How many youkai do you need to kill? How many mid-rank youkai do you need to kill?

Xu Qinshuang's fluttering words made Liu Mingfeng and Lu Fuzhong, who were still a little skeptical, no longer have any thoughts.

And Liu Zhenwu and Zhou Zhenggang both looked at Wang Xiao with a new eye.

They didn't know that this was Xu Qinshuang who had reduced Wang Xiao by half.

If they knew that Wang Xiao's real savings were not twenty or thirty thousand, but fifty or sixty thousand, I am afraid that they would not only be surprised.

"By the way, Xiao'er, you can get this opportunity, or because your third and fourth senior brothers are broad-minded and can focus on the overall situation, you should also be grateful to them. The two of them gave up this spot and gave you such a rare opportunity, you can also buy some things for them. Mingfeng, Fu Chong, you two also go along, what do you like, ask your junior brother to buy it. ”

All should be.

Liu Zhenwu and the four of them all glanced at Wang Xiao with extremely envious eyes, they didn't expect that the master would spoil Wang Xiao to such a point.

Xu Qinshuang's words, Mingli seemed to be making Wang Xiao ruined, but in fact, it was to let Wang Xiao sell him to other senior brothers.

It is easy to repay money owed to someone, but if it is owed a favor, it is not so simple.

Liu Zhenwu and the others are all children, not poor, they don't care about the cost of even the most exquisite clothes. However, if Wang Xiao is asked to buy them something this time, then emotionally, he owes a love to this little junior brother.

In the future, if something happens to Wang Xiao, they will all have the obligation, even the responsibility, to help Wang Xiao.

The Chinese are talking about such a sentiment.

And this love was arranged by Xu Qinshuang's intermediary, and Liu Zhenwu and the four of them must inherit this love story.

A mere set of ordinary exquisite clothes is transformed into a love, which ...... It can be seen that Xu Qinshuang has a preference for Wang Xiao.

Although the four of them were a little envious in their hearts, but after thinking about it, they thought that this junior brother was "a broken family", and he was also very respectful and polite to his senior brothers on weekdays, so this arrangement of the senior sister was not so disgusting.

Liu Zhenwu laughed: "Okay, then there will be Senior Brother Lao who will break the fortune!" Master, Senior Sister, the disciple will lead a few junior disciples to prepare." ”
