I. Chapter 20 Drawing of lots

Early in the morning, the mist was hazy.

The dew on the trees is crystal clear and slowly slides down from the edges of the leaves.

Although there is still some distance between the Heart Cultivation Hall and the martial arts training ground of the mountain villa, at this time, you can also hear all kinds of noises and shouts from afar, and the sound of shouting is endless.

Because of Li Changfeng's tantrum at the dinner table last night, the five people in the Heart Cultivation Hall this morning were also lifeless. After eating in a hurry, Li Changfeng led everyone to the martial arts field of the villa.

The autumn viewing event in Wutong City all pulled the hearts of the disciples of the mountain villa. Early in the morning, many people gathered in the martial arts field, and they were surrounded by water.

Jiang Ming's group, because of Li Changfeng and Yu Xinshuang, who were elders, many disciples gave way one after another, and they walked to the front unimpeded.

Yu Xinshuang changed into goose-yellow clothes today, and her cold temperament seemed to have eased a lot, and she was a little more graceful. Li Mengru is also playful, smart and energetic. The outstanding two couldn't help but attract the attention of many disciples around them.

Yu Xinshuang didn't seem to like the excitement, and after a while, she silently walked to the corner and waited alone.

As far as the eye can see, three wooden platforms have been temporarily built in the middle of the huge martial arts training ground, and there are four of them in total. There is a big red character written on it: A, B, C, D.

Wang Qingshan, the owner of the five-short stature, stood on the bluestone armor platform, his face was full of red light, and he was holding a black box in his hand. When the people were about to arrive, he shouted quite hard: "Everyone, be quiet! Today is a grand event that has never been seen in our villa, and it is also a rare opportunity for you, you should take advantage of it! Due to the rush of time, everyone should start to sign up for their own master now!" After saying that, he jumped off the high platform violently, and because of his size, it looked very funny, causing everyone to laugh.

There are four elders in the small Taoyuan Villa, divided into four branches. And the Heart Cultivation Hall is scarce because of Li Changfeng's body, and there are only two people, Li Mengru and Jiang Ming.

At this time, Li Changfeng sat under the T-shaped stage, and without waiting for the two to sign up, he took out a pen and paper and wrote the names of the two.

The other three high platforms lined up in a long line, and it was lively. It's a stark contrast to the T-shaped side.

Chen Zhiyi took Jiang Ming and Li Mengru to stand aside, a little deserted, and couldn't help but feel envious. But he still said to the two of them: "You two give me a good comparison, our Heart Cultivation Hall is already small, but don't embarrass your master again!"

"Yes, Master. Ah......" Jiang Ming fell asleep in the middle of the night last night, and he was listless, so he couldn't help yawning.

Li Mengru glared slightly, and said with a slight dissatisfaction: "What did I say? After sending the clothes, hurry back to sleep, who knows what good things to do?"

Jiang Ming's thoughts were all about the competition, seven up and eight down. Listening to Li Mengru's yin and yang weird tone, he was too lazy to respond. I don't want to disappoint my master and mother, but I ...... For a while, there was really suffering, and there were mixed tastes.

Chen Zhiyi seemed to see Jiang Ming's worries, and smiled and comforted: "Ming'er, it's okay, just do your best." ”

"But......" Jiang Ming wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. I just touched my chest gently, and it seemed to carry all my strength...... and courage......

I don't know how long it took, but the sun gradually warmed up.

After all the disciples had signed up, the four elders stepped forward and handed the list to Wang Qingshan.

"The four elders have worked hard. Wang Qingshan, who took over the list, smiled, and then asked Li Changfeng with concern: "Daochang Li, I know that you are not in good health, and I want to bother you now, I ...... Alas, thank you!"

Suddenly, a middle-aged man with narrow eyes, hooked nose, and a rather gloomy look next to him said: "Hmph! I'm tired of sitting there writing two names, I've been busy for a while!"

This sentence is inexplicable, but Wang Qingshan is not a fool, and said with a smile: "Where is Elder Yue!

Li Changfeng and Wang Qingshan can be said to be familiar at first sight and have an excellent relationship. Li Changfeng was also a little embarrassed at this meeting, and hurriedly said: "I am also the most idle in this villa, and I can do a little bit for the villa, and it is still my duty, so it is naturally incumbent on me! ”

Wang Qingshan is a real person, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and he said happily: "Daoist Li is polite, let's go drink together one day! Last time I said yes, invite me to drink, how long do you think this has dragged on?"

Wang Qingshan's only hobby is wine, but when he said such a thing on this occasion, Li Changfeng couldn't help but smile in his heart, and said heartily: "Okay, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

While the two of them were happy, they only heard Elder Yue say coldly: "Elder Li is in poor health, but he can't imagine that his ability to drink is not small!"

Wang Qingshan's square face suddenly froze, and he frowned and said, "I'm talking to Daoist Li, so don't intervene with Elder Yue." Do whatever you need to do!"

This Elder Yue's name is Yue Zhuo, and he is the oldest and narrow-minded in this small Taoyuan Villa. At this time, with a wave of his sleeves, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Seeing the embarrassment of the scene, the other two elders also casually found a reason to retreat. Only Li Changfeng and Wang Qingshan were left in the same place.

I saw Wang Qingshan glance at Yue Zhuo's back, and whispered to Li Changfeng: "Brother Li, don't care, this Yue Zhuo is the most small-minded." It's not because of that that it's targeted at you everywhere. Even I can't get used to him!"

Li Changfeng knew that Wang Qingshan was upright and righteous, and at this time he also comforted: "Don't say this, the owner of the village! I sit upright and act rightly, and I am not afraid of what others say." ”

"Okay! I just like Brother Li's character. Wang Qingshan smiled with a smile on his face, and said reluctantly: "It's almost, I'm going to get busy." By the way, don't forget the ...... you owe me."

Li Changfeng couldn't help but smile and said, "Remember!"

Looking at the chubby back in the distance, Li Changfeng shook his head helplessly.

Wang Qingshan is always so smiling, there seems to be nothing in the world that can make him sad.

I saw him holding the list in one hand and the black box in the other, jumping on the stand. He cleared his throat and shouted, "The list of participants in the selection has come out." Well...... There are one hundred and two in total. After the deliberation of the elders, two people will be selected by drawing lots to compete. Wait a minute, there will be one hundred and two slips of paper in my black box, and there will be numbers from one to one hundred and two. Immediately, all the disciples were in an uproar.

Wang Qingshan didn't pay attention to it, and continued: "Everyone chooses one each, and so on, No. 1 vs. No. 2, No. 3 vs. No. 4, No. 5 vs. No. 6, and so on." In the second round, two disciples with similar numbers faced off, and the final two winners were selected in turn. There are four competition venues for A, B, C, and D, and each of the four elders guards one to prove justice. ”

Wang Qingshan was also out of breath when he said so much, so he handed the black box in his hand to a disciple beside him. After a while, the box was filled with small paper balls.

Seeing this, Li Mengru pursed her lips and said with a disdainful expression: "Our owner is too hasty!

"Yes......" Jiang Ming was also speechless.

Chen Zhiyi also smiled slightly when he looked at this scene, and said: "Not to mention the time is coming, besides, our owner is not a thoughtful person, and it is the first time to hold such a grand event, so it is very good to make it like this." Don't take it seriously. ”

Li Mengru was also curious, and asked, "Mother, how did he become the owner of the village like this?"

Chen Zhi Li Mengru asked so seriously, and he was also stunned for a while, as if he had never thought about this problem, so he replied: "I don't know much about this, although our owner is not very good at discipline, and the disciples' cultivation is also loose. But our owner is a kind-hearted person, and there must be a reason for him to sit in this position. ”

Jiang Ming looked at the slightly chubby man with a smile in the distance, and he really couldn't figure it out. I thought: If you have a chance in the future, you must ask!

After a while, there was a sudden agitation in front of me, and it turned out that the lottery had begun. The disciples in front stepped forward one after another for a while, choosing their own signs!

"Don't crowd everyone, everything is unknown, it's the same sooner or later, it's all up to fate!" Wang Qingshan on the stage put the box on the ground and shouted with a flushed face.

Lives are all based on fate......

Yu Chenshuang, who was standing in a no-man's corner, was expressionless, and the fairy sword on his back was slowly flowing blue light for some reason.

"Ah, I'm twenty-eight!

"I'm seventeen. I don't know who the eighteenth is. ”

.......

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the field.

After all the disciples have drawn lots. Li Mengru dragged Jiang Ming towards the A-shaped platform. There were only two paper balls left in the delicate black wooden box, lying there quietly.

"Senior brother, you choose first. Li Mengru said playfully to Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming glanced at Li Changfeng on the edge of the T-shaped platform in the distance, and the two looked at each other.

The young man didn't dare to look directly at the flat eyes, and hurriedly turned his face back. took a deep breath, slowly stretched out his hand, aimed at a paper ball, and slowly picked it up...... Putting down the ...... again

Another ball of paper near the corner of the box, crumpled and crumpled in a mess. Maybe it's like your own life, that's it......

Li Mengru looked at Jiang Ming quietly, unable to figure out his heart. He just asked softly, "Senior brother, have you decided to choose this?"

"Hmm. Jiang Ming nodded heavily.

All the disciples on the field were asking others what number they were and who their opponents were, so that they could have a bottom in their hearts. The sound continued for a long time, and it did not subside.

Wang Qingshan on the stage coughed twice and shouted loudly: "Everyone has drawn lots!"

His voice was so loud that he suppressed all voices, and saw that no one spoke. He added: "Since you have drawn lots, then you can come to me and report your names according to the signature number." Later, there will be a red list posted, and it will be clear who the opponent is. Please be patient!"

After saying that, the disciples were in a mess again, squeezing and pushing to the front, and the disciple who was in charge of recording was also busy for a while......
