Volume 3 Expeditionary Force Chapter 94 Dragon Boat Race
This Xia Meteor son seems to be quite elegant, which makes people feel good at first glance, but he didn't expect to be so ruthless.
There is no way, Han Changming is in front of this high-ranking and powerful Xia Gongzi, but he is like a mustard, and he will be killed if he is killed.
At this moment, Han Changsheng's good impression of Xia Meteor was gone, and he became estranged from him, and in the face of this kind of hypocrite, he still had to stay away.
In the face of the questioning eyes of many people in this private room and the unkind eyes of the comers, Han Changsheng was calmly pouring himself a drink, as if the victory or defeat had already been predicted by him, Han Changsheng did not reveal the imminent fear that many people expected.
At this time, the onlookers on the edge of the port were already densely packed, and the crowds were crowded, crowding the entire port side.
Sure enough, the gentlemen of Emperor Hill City will enjoy it, and book this kind of luxury private room in advance, so that there is no need to crowd people on the street, and you can watch the game condescendingly.
Xiong Chumo had been staring nervously out the window, although it was still a little early before the start of the game.
He said worriedly: "Xia Yu Gongzi came to make trouble just now, he must have come prepared, since he dared to re-invest in the Xuanyuan Sect that is not strong but has high odds, and he is full of confidence, as if he has already won, is there fraud in this?"
At this time, Xia Liuxing showed an elegant smile and said: "Dean Xiong doesn't need to worry, if they don't guess wrong, they are likely to buy off the Xuanming Gate, and then let the members of the Xuanming Gate take an elixir similar to 'Excitement Jidan' during the game, in an attempt to win through such cheating means." ”
When these words fell, there was a sudden sound of inhalation in the private room, this excitement Ji Dan was notorious in the Xia Kingdom's immortal cultivation world!
In the major competition of the Xia Kingdom Immortal Cultivation Realm, the use of similar pills was expressly forbidden.
The members of the dragon boat teams that came to participate in the competition were all monks of the Yudan period, but because no one could use spiritual power in the process of rowing the dragon boat, they had to rely entirely on the power of the body to shake the oars, so if someone took the elixir of the Excitement Kidan, the physical strength and strength of the team members would be greatly increased, so that they could easily defeat the other dragon boat teams.
Therefore, this is a serious cheating behavior of ten people, if it is found out by the Xia Kingdom Monk Alliance, it will be permanently disqualified from the competition, and at the same time, the cultivation of those monks who have taken banned drugs will be abolished, so that they can no longer cultivate immortals.
"I know Xia Yu, don't look at this person arrogant, but never do things that he is not sure of, since he dares to bet on the Xuanming Gate to win, he is naturally not afraid of being found out about taking medicine, I heard some time ago that he hired an alchemy master, presumably it is a new pill refined by that master, maybe this pill can hide the urine test of the organizer. If I really let the Xuanming Gate win today, it will be my Xia someone's fate to have this calamity, and I will be unlucky. ”
Xia Liuxing sighed and said freely.
Everyone drank the spirit wine while waiting for the afternoon game to begin.
For the monks, an hour or two was only a blink of an eye, and soon noon was over, and the time came before the end of the afternoon.
Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums came from the port outside the window, and the organizers had already created an atmosphere before the dragon boat race began.
This is the first time Han Changming has seen Xia Guo's dragon boat race with his own eyes, and it is indeed worthy of the top competition event in the human world.
Diqiu sits in the north and faces south, and the harbor is in the south of Diqiu City, because the harbor is very large, so each ship uses the fastest speed to row from the east to the west of the port, and it takes about one or two pillars of incense.
I saw that in the westernmost part of the port, there were dozens of dragon boat teams ready at this time, just waiting for the organizer to give an order.
Each dragon boat has a lifelike dragon head and tail, as if a real dragon is lying on the water, and the colors on each boat's body are different, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and even many boats are made of two or three colors.
Among so many dragon boat teams, the most eye-catching is the Ken Chat College dragon boat team, which ranks first in the power list, and the color of their dragon boats is actually colorful, and it is said that only by winning the championship in the last dragon boat competition can they enjoy the colorful colors in this year.
Each dragon boat, ten zhang long, less than half a zhang wide, there are a total of 32 people on board, including 30 sailors, divided into two columns to sit on both sides of the boat to paddle, and in the middle of the boat there are two people who are responsible for scooping water, because when the 30 oars are rowing on the water surface together, it will bring a large amount of splash into the boat, if the water is not scooped out in time, it will make the boat heavier and sink, thus affecting the speed.
This competition also has high requirements for the participation level of sailors, which must be between the early stage of the knot and the late stage of the knot, and they must not have practiced the exercises of refining the body, and at the same time, before and after the competition, they must not take the pills related to enhancing physical strength, otherwise they will bear the consequences.
In order to achieve good results in the competition, the participating teams also took great pains to build the hull of the dragon boat, because the dragon boat must be driven by the monk's paddle, and no spirit stones or magic weapons should be used as power, so the teams in the selection of wood, all choose those spirit wood with the function of water repellent, which can minimize water resistance, such as the spirit fir wood is very popular with the dragon boat teams.
Han Changming didn't have a special understanding of the dragon boat competition before, and he only understood the relevant rules after listening to Xiong Chumo's story.
At this time, on a huge platform on the edge of the port, suddenly three groups of people each held a huge drum, which exuded bursts of spiritual power before it was beaten.
Since each drum was the size of a room, a hundred friars carried it on their shoulders under each drum, followed by thirty-six friars.
After the monks put the giant drums on the three huge drum racks, the friars flew to each of them, and they were actually drummers, who were in charge of beating the drums.
"This is the famous 'Xuanyuan Drum', and only at such a grand event can people have the privilege of witnessing it with their own eyes. ”
Xiong Chumo said with emotion, but these words made Han Changsheng interested.
Han Changming asked, "Could this Xuanyuan drum be related to Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, one of the five emperors of the human race?"
"Yes, it is the holy relic left by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, you see that the shape of the three-sided drum is different, which represents the concept of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's 'viewing the sky', 'rationalizing the land' and 'governing the people'. ”
Xiong Chumo explained, but these words made Han Changming frown.
Han Changming said in his heart: "How can I not see any difference between these three giant drums, their shapes are obviously exactly the same." ”
"In the past, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor refined twenty-four giant drums, each of which could sound and vibrate nine nights, and the leader of the Jiuli tribe at that time was named Chi You, riding the national treasure 'iron eating beast', and often harassed other countries. ”
Xiong Chumo's eyes were deep, recalling the past of the Five Emperors of the Human Race.
At this time, Xiong Yiyi, who was originally listening quietly on the side, suddenly asked with interest: "The 'iron-eating beast' that my father said, but that kind of spirit beast that is round, cute, and has two dark circles?"
Xiong Chumo nodded and said: "It is this beast, it was originally one of the six divine beasts in the mythological era, and the combat power of this iron-eating beast has always been ranked first, but because Chiyou was killed, this beast became an ownerless beast, and then gradually got used to getting along with the human race, and its recipe also changed from eating people to eating bamboo, and it made a living by selling cuteness on weekdays." ”
After hearing these words, Han Changming also looked thoughtful.
Xiong Chumo saw that everyone in the private room listened to yesterday with relish, so he continued: "In the past, the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou had a big battle in Zhuolu, and that battle could be described as the pinnacle battle between high-level monks, shocking the world and crying ghosts and gods. Later, as the years passed, only the three intact drums remained, and the others were either missing or damaged. ”
Just as Xiong Chumo was talking endlessly, a huge cannon suddenly rang out in the window, the giant drum beat at the same time, and all the dragon boats rowed at the same time, and the competition finally began!
The three-sided giant drum seemed to shatter everything in the world, knocking on the restaurant and shaking.
This kind of drum magic weapon, Han Changming saw it for the first time, the power was really extraordinary, and the dragon boats rowed more vigorously after hearing this drum.
At this time, the water surface of the port was really 'the shadow of the oars flying thousands of swords, the drums splitting the waves and the thunder of a thousand thunders', and the crowd on the shore also let out earth-shattering shouts.
However, when the dragon boats were almost halfway through, the first-ranked Kenmu Academy rowed the fastest and was in the leading position, and it seemed that it had a very good chance of winning today.
And the 'Wunian Palace' dragon boat team that Xia Liuxing had high hopes for was only in fourth place.
As for the Xuanming Gate, which was valued by Xia Yu, its strength was even worse, and it had fallen behind to the sixth place.
But Xia Liuxing's eyes were staring at the Xuanmingmen team, and he knew that the Xuanyingmen was about to cheat and take pills.
The eyes of everyone in the private room are also staring nervously at the Xuanming Gate, and now the dragon boat teams can be said to be competing in front of everyone, so how will this Xuanming Gate cover up the behavior of taking pills?
"Hmm? What's going on with this Xuanyin Gate? Why are the people who scoop the water so slow? Their dragon boats are flooded with a lot of water, and if they continue like this, I'm afraid the boat will sink. ”
A burst of discussion broke out on the shore, and the crowd of onlookers saw that something was wrong with the Xuanming Gate.
At this time, in order to prevent the dragon boat from sinking, the members of the Xuanming Gate desperately shook the oars in their hands, and suddenly there were bursts of waves, forming a mist that covered the entire dragon boat.
However, after just a few breaths, the team members who scooped the water had quickly poured out all the water in the boat, and the dragon boat of Xuanmingmen had resurfaced a lot.
However, at this time, the speed of the Xuanming Gate suddenly increased greatly, as fast as an arrow from the string, and it actually surpassed several teams including the Wunian Palace one after another, and continued to narrow the gap between it and the Kenmu Academy that was running at the forefront.
According to this trend, it is entirely possible for the Xuanming Sect to catch up with and surpass Kenmu Academy!
The onlookers on the shore all noticed that the speed of the Xuanming Gate suddenly increased greatly, but they thought that the Xuanming Gate was rowing slowly at the beginning because of the water entering the boat, so now that the water in the ship was successfully drained, the increase in speed was naturally reasonable.
