Volume 1 The Elephant of Heaven and Earth Chapter 22 Talent Conference
Time passed quickly, and seeing that there were still three days left for the conference to start, Liang Cheng also left Tianyuzi's cave mansion and came to Penglai Pavilion, which was located in the south of Yunyin Island. The new disciples of the previous talent associations on the island have been temporarily arranged to live in Penglai Pavilion according to the usual practice, and this time is no exception.
As for Sumeru, the disciples of Jizen and Myoko Mishima had all come to Yunyin Island a few days ago, including the heads of each island, the elders, in addition to the necessary garrisons left behind, they also came to Yunyin Island. Tian Yuzi led the people of Yunyin Island to be busy with the reception arrangements, and they didn't have time to ask about other things.
The newcomers from all branches of Cloud Hidden Island have all arrived during this time. In addition to the Southwest Immeasurable Temple, there are only two Liang Cheng Lihuo, there are eleven people from Maijishan in Lingxi and twenty-three people from Wulingyuan in northern Xiangbei. A total of thirty-six new disciples came to the main island, and this Penglai Pavilion was a little lively for a while.
Liang Cheng's name has long spread on the island in the past few days. As a new disciple, a genius who reached the foundation building period at the age of fifteen, Liang Cheng was the focus wherever he went. Mo said that at the same time, the new disciples, the elite disciples of the foundation building period in the island, were very curious about him.
At the beginning of the competition, all the new and old disciples who participated in the competition were summoned to the venue outside Penglai Pavilion to listen to Liu Siming, the master of the Earth Spirit Pavilion, explain the rules and precautions of the competition.
I saw that Liu Siming was short in stature, fair-skinned, elegant in appearance, with three locks of long beard, looking like a middle-aged scribe. He stood on the stone platform in the center of the venue and said in a loud voice: "Fellow disciples, this talent meeting is the fifth since the founding of the sect. The scale of this conference has surpassed that of previous conferences, and the cultivation qualifications of the new disciples have also exceeded those of the past, and even newcomers in the foundation building period have appeared. Speaking of this, Liu Siming paused and glanced at Liang Cheng. Liang Cheng suddenly became the focus again.
I could only hear the crowd whispering: "That kid is Liang Cheng, well, it is indeed a foundation building period of cultivation." "What kind of child, if you want to call him senior brother in the future, maybe you will become a senior uncle in the future. "She looks very good. "Senior sister, don't you like him?" For a moment, there was a lot of noise.
Liu Siming raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "In this conference, there will be a total of nearly two hundred disciples from the four islands participating in the competition, which is divided into two stages, the first stage is the Qi cultivation period level competition, and the second stage is the foundation building period competition. Of course, the vast majority of all of you present are participating in the primary Qi training competition, due to the unprecedented situation this time, the first place has actually belonged to our Yunyin Main Island, but the next game is still very important, the victory of each game is not only related to the reputation and interests of the island, but also related to the reward received by the disciple, so everyone must strive for a good result. ”
Because the number of participants in the Qi training period competition is the largest, and the interests are the greatest, so Liu Siming explained in detail the various group lottery methods of the Qi training period competition, and Liang Cheng was a little impatient because it was not his business.
At this time, two men and one woman suddenly walked over to Liang Cheng, and I saw that these three people were all in the middle stage of foundation building, and their cuffs were embroidered with black cloud patterns of the sect, and they were obviously already official disciples of the sect.
"You're Senior Brother Liang, right?" the man at the head asked. This person is handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he looks full of pride, but his voice is very gentle and delicate.
"I'm Liang Cheng, I don't know what this senior brother has to say?" Liang Cheng replied with a salute.
"Hehe, my name is Duanmulin, and these two are Senior Brother Li Zilong and Senior Sister Yao Yuru. The wood forest at that end introduced to Liang Cheng.
Liang Cheng looked over and saw that Senior Brother Li was a simple and heavy young man, but Senior Sister Yao had willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, a small cherry mouth, and she was a big beauty, but she looked cold and cold, and she looked like she was not close to anyone.
"I've seen Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Duanmu, and Senior Sister Yao. Liang Cheng didn't know what these people were looking for him, but he still saw them one by one in a thoughtful manner.
Seeing that Liang Cheng was humble and polite, several people had a good impression of him, especially Senior Sister Yao, who looked Liang Cheng up and down with a pair of beautiful eyes.
Duanmulin opened his mouth and said, "After the discussion between the first seat and several elders, we and Senior Brother Liang were sent to participate in the foundation building group competition of this conference. The three of us have been in business for many years and know each other well. It's just that Senior Brother Liang has just arrived, so we came to get to know each other and work together to win glory for the island. ”
Liang Cheng knew that this end of the wood forest sounded good, but in fact, the three of them were not worried about the strength of their rookie newcomers, so they came to see themselves. Sure enough, seeing that the three of them all looked helpless, it was needless to say that they were worried about their cultivation in the early stage of foundation building.
"Cough, Senior Brother Liang, the game of our foundation building group is that the four islands all send a team, each team of four people, fight each other, and win two wins, even if it is a draw, take three wins to win, each team has to meet, and finally calculate the record as a whole. So every game is very important, I wonder what Senior Brother Liang's experience is?"
"I'm ashamed that my little brother has never really fought with anyone. Liang Cheng replied.
"Well, that's right...... Alas, this is a little, a little difficult. The three of them sighed suddenly, secretly complaining that they were unlucky, why did they have to bring such a drag oil bottle to the competition this time. Especially Senior Sister Yao, Liu frowned, stared at Liang Cheng for a long time, and shook her head gently.
No matter how disappointed the teammates were with Liang Cheng, this triennial talent meeting finally kicked off on the second day. The dedicated arena was spotlessly cleaned a few days ago, and the VIP seats were set up comfortably and neatly. The first seat of Yunyin Island, Tianyuzi, was naturally promoted to the chief because of his temporary position as the sect master of the Miaozhen Yunyin Sect, and the other three heads also took their seats in turn, namely Sumeru Island Dao Xuanzi, Myoko Island Liuyunzi and Jizen Island Guangchenzi. Immediately, the elders of the various island pavilions also took their seats one by one.
Tian Yuzi nodded to Xu Shouye, the master of Tianxin Pavilion who was presiding over the conference, and signaled that the conference could begin, Xu Shouye announced loudly: "The triennial talent meeting of the Miaozhen Cloud Yin Sect starts now!"
First of all, the first item is a talent show, and the male and female disciples who are good at singing and dancing in the sect, and even the secular people who can play and sing from the outer families enter the performance. Liang Cheng was a little surprised at first, he didn't expect that there would be such a scene of singing, dancing and singing at the meeting of the Xiuzhen Sect, but after thinking about it, he was also relieved, after all, the person who cultivates the truth is still a human being, and naturally no one will dislike the enjoyment of the five colors and five tones.
For a while, the arena was like a big opera garden, all kinds of dressed people sang and I appeared, the old students were in the same color, and the double reed opera and Kunshan music flew together. It was very lively, and all the leaders and elders shook their heads, or twisted their beards and smiled, or exchanged their heads and ears, or pointed out and commented, and they were lively and tossed for an hour or two.
After that, the leaders in the VIP seats gradually dispersed, and the arena was cleared. The atmosphere began to become serious, and the rookie battle competition of the disciples in the Qi training period was finally about to begin.
Liang Cheng didn't have a game on the first day, so he sat in an inconspicuous seat, but he heard an immature child's voice in the back row asking, "Senior Brother Gu, this competition has just begun, why are all the first pavilion masters leaving?" Liang Cheng also had this question in his heart, so he also listened carefully. Senior Brother Gu replied: "Xiaohua, you are stupid, there are a total of one or two hundred games during the Qi training period, and the results of the games will take a day or two, and they are all rookie newcomers competing against each other, is it rare for other masters to watch? The immature voice of Xiao Hua suddenly realized: "Oh!"
Liang Cheng also suddenly realized, but he still sat still, although it was not uncommon for other masters to see, Liang Cheng was very interested. Looking at how other people fight, it is also an inspiration for yourself, don't you hear that 'the stones of other mountains can attack jade'.
The first batch of contestants finally entered, and it turned out that the 180 Qi cultivation newcomers from each island participating in the competition were dispersed first and then divided into nine groups, with 20 people in each group. After the opponent is determined by drawing, a group of groups will play two or two to catch each other, and the loser will be eliminated. Then the winner will go to the next round, and after the remaining forty-five players, all the previous losers will play a knockout round to determine the top nineteen to be added. Sixty-four people were formed, and finally after six rounds of elimination, the winner was finally determined. It's just that the winner this time is only the second place, and the first place is already surnamed Liang.
The competition schedule for newcomers in the Qi training period was too long, and the level was low, so there were almost no disciples in the foundation building period on the island who stayed to watch the game, with only one exception.
Liang Cheng, the first winner who did not fight, and a great master in the foundation building period, has been sitting in the arena watching the game, but it has also attracted a lot of envious eyes, and many young sisters and sisters on the sidelines also secretly looked at Liang Cheng with eyes full of admiration, which was simply a flirtatious eyebrow. It's a pity that Liang Cheng, this kid, is not enlightened at all, obviously a piece of elm pimple, just staring at the game and admiring happily, he didn't find anything abnormal at all, and he couldn't wipe out the slightest spark, which made all the senior sisters and sisters sad and resentful.
Lihuo also sat on the sidelines at this time and watched the game silently, because he had already exceeded the age limit, he was no longer eligible to participate in this rookie battle in the Qi training period. During this time, the people he saw on the island were either young and promising, or they were old and cultivated, and people like himself who had not yet built a foundation in their thirties had almost become recognized as waste wood, and their hearts were devastated. Lihuo couldn't help but regret leaving the Immeasurable View and coming to this Cloud Hidden Island, thinking about how high-spirited he was in the Guan, although he was ignorant, he was also fearless. Lihuo sighed, reached out and touched his sideburns, feeling that gray hair was about to grow from here.
