Chapter 92: The County War Begins
After resting for one night in the Wangdu Luo's house, the next morning, Luo Xiao washed and went to the front hall to eat, Luo Yangde was already waiting at the dining table, but he didn't see Luo Gongzi.
Luo Xiao sat down, and before he could ask a question, Luo Yangde had already spoken: "The little brother said about the Wind Dragon Cave, Xiao'er has already gone out to inquire, let's eat first, don't worry about him." β
Luo Xiao nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and listened to Luo Yangde again: "That batch of medicines...... Does it really matter if no one is guarded?"
Luo Xiao smiled meaningfully: "Don't worry, someone will help guard it." β
Luo Yangde only said that the forces behind Luo Xiao took over, and his heart was relieved, after all, it was hundreds of expensive medicinal seeds worth tens of thousands of gold, and it was enough to lose one of them - the thing was indeed not his, but if it was really lost, it would not fall on his head to make up for it?
Breakfast is relatively simple, rich or not, eat the same, nothing more than bean juice flatbread and the like. Luo Xiao finished picking up the dishes and chopsticks, and just put down the chopsticks, the footsteps outside the door were hurried, and Luo Zifeng rushed in with an excited face: "It's better to come early than to come by coincidence, the county war has officially begun!"
Luo Xiao was stunned, didn't he go to inquire about the Wind Dragon Cave, how did he get involved in the "county war"? Well, the county war? It seems quite familiar...... suddenly remembered, and said in surprise: "Tianjiao primary election, has it really begun?"
Luo Zifeng raised a stack of papers in his hand and said happily: "That's right, it's today!"
The county battle is the primary election for the battle of Tianjiao. The Tianjiao War involves the whole domain, and there is a set of selection patterns that have been followed for thousands of years. The selection method is divided into three levels of selection, such as the county war, the Korean war, and the national war, and the whole process takes about three months.
The first is the county war, which is the primary election. That is, the subordinate cities of the counties are recommended by the martial arts hall or hold the samurai certificate, go to the county seat to register, and then according to the arrangement, the public martial arts duel is selected to select the top ten.
Then there's the promotion battle: the Korean War. That is, the top ten counties will gather in the national capital, and the decisive battle will be fought before the monarchs and ministers, and the top 100 will be decided. These 100 people are the preparatory players of the Tianjiao National War, called the "Tianjiao Seed".
Finally, there is the decisive battle: the national war. The top 100 players from all countries gathered in the host country, waiting for the envoy of the Central Regions to come to the designated trial area, and in accordance with the way they requested, the final battle - this is the real meaning of the "Tianjiao National War".
And this is precisely a way for countries to show their strength, enhance their own prestige, and even put it mildly, to put it mildly, to attack other countries in the open.
Luo Xiao looked at the stack of papers that Luo Zifeng was waving, his heart moved, and asked, "This is the information on Shengjing's samurai candidacy?"
"Yes. Luo Zifeng stuffed the stack of papers into Luo Xiao's hand, "You look slowly, I'll eat some first." β
As a grand event with thousands of years of tradition, the battle of Tianjiao is naturally indispensable to one of the manifestations of human nature, that is, gambling!
Starting from the county war, the promotion battle (Korean war), the final battle (national war), all kinds of openings, all kinds of betting, up to the government, down to the people, predators and small shrimps, almost all people participated. There are those who collect the information of the participants, those who organize the information for sale, and those who comment on the senior martial arts bricks...... There are all kinds of things, and a complete industrial chain has been formed.
What Luo Xiao is holding in his hand at this moment is the information of the participants in the Shengjing primary election (county war). Shengjing is the capital, and the strong are gathered, and the competition is only afraid of more intense. At present, more than 200 people have signed up on the information, and it is not easy to take one out of tens, and because the deadline has not been reached, I am afraid that there will be more in the follow-up......
Luo Xiao glanced at it roughly, most of the participants were Xuanwu warriors, accounting for more than eighty percent, and there were a small number of Vermilion Bird warriors. This is not surprising, it is already very good for a Lower Domain Martial Artist to be able to reach these two levels before the age of thirty, and there are a few talented people who can reach the White Tiger Warrior, which is a rare existence. It can be said that as long as you reach the White Tiger Samurai before the age of thirty, you can be selected and enter the Middle Domain, and your achievements will be higher.
Anyway, Luo Xiao looked at it at a glance, there was not a single White Tiger Warrior, and the strongest were only a few high-level Vermilion Bird Warriors.
Luo Xiao pinched his chin and thought: "This is the capital, the highest combat power of the younger generation is at this level? If my brother signs up, maybe he can really squeeze into the top ten Tianjiao (the top ten in the national war)......"
Of course, Luo Xiao just thought about it, Zhongyu, really didn't attract him.
In fact, there is another type of person who, like Luo Xiao, is not interested in the Middle Domain, that is, the top combat power of the Lower Domain-Dragon Elephant Warrior.
After each national war, except for the thirty selected elites, all the Dragon Elephant warriors and above can apply to enter the Middle Domain and enter the sect to practice, but very few people are willing to do so.
Since becoming a cultivator is the highest pursuit of a samurai, why is it that no one cherishes the opportunity in front of him?
The reason is that almost all of the people who have cultivated to the level of Dragon Elephant Warrior in the lower domain are grandmaster-level figures, who are glorious and wealthy, high-ranking officials and lords, and have enjoyed fame for decades, while arriving in the middle domain means giving up everything and starting from scratch, and there is almost no possibility of returning. Because there is not enough aura in the lower realm, returning means that the cultivation is regressive, or even retreating to the original realmβwho would be stupid enough to do this only after giving everything but returning to the original point? Only a true martial artist who is really obsessed with martial arts and pursues a higher peak will do this.
In the past thousand years, there have been thousands of high-level samurai, and those who are willing to do so are only a few hands. The most real reason is that those who usually cultivate to the level of Dragon Elephant Warriors are generally over fifty or seventy years old. People are old, ambitious, no more, no more aggressive, no courage to start all over again. Ambition and courage are the preserve of young people. This is also another important reason why Tianjiao only accepts young samurai under the age of thirty, only when they are young enough, there are infinite possibilities.
Over there, Luo Yangde also read the information in his hand, and said with a smile: "Do you want to bet on it?"
Luo Xiao shook his head, he was not short of money, he was not interested in gambling, and most importantly, he didn't have the leisure to do so.
Luo Zifeng put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "After Brother Luo signs up, we will definitely bet you." β
Luo Xiao shook his head again: "I don't plan to participate." β
Luo's father and son were stunned: "But ......"
"After I win the competition and register as a samurai, I will go to the Wind Dragon Cave to cultivate, and after I get out, it is estimated that the Tianjiao battle is almost over. β
"But the family ...... there"
"We only have one purpose in trading, to get that resource for you. Luo Xiao reminded the father and son again, "You can settle your family's affairs." β
Luo's father and son looked at each other and smiled bitterly, Luo Zifeng was still a little unwilling, and said: "Brother Luo, are you worried about the lack of strength? Although I am not a samurai, I can also see that I can easily kill a sixth-order warrior, Brother Luo is definitely a martial arts genius, and there are few opponents in the same rank, as long as I participate, not to mention the thirty days of pride, at least I can enter the top 100! What a prospect this is......"
This is a once-in-a-decade event, and needless to say, the lucky ones who are selected have a great future even if they are losers. As long as you can show your head in the county battle and be promoted to the top ten, you can basically become a new talent in a county, and you will have your own glory and wealth. If you can enter the top 100 of the Korean War, there must be high-ranking officials and lords. Those who can participate in the national war are called "Tianjiao seeds", and even if they fail, they can become the upstarts of the national dynasty.
Therefore, every time there is a grand event, countless samurai flock to it. Those who claim to be geniuses are all invincible at the same level and can fight against each other, so many Xuanwu warriors also dare to participate in trying to win the championship. As long as they don't meet high-level Suzaku warriors, they have a chance. Even if it is an ordinary sixth-order early and mid-level warrior, if they want to hit the great luck, maybe they will be able to break out an upset, and it is not that such a thing has happened in the previous Tianjiao War.
That's why so many people signed up for the county war primary, so they need to be screened and eliminated through the county war.
Luo Xiao looked at Luo Zifeng lightly: "My future may be different from what you think, this matter should not be mentioned again, how is the matter of the Wind Dragon Cave that I want you to inquire about?"
Luo Zifeng sighed helplessly, so he had to inquire about the situation one by one.
When he heard Luo Zifeng tell about the situation of the Wind Dragon Cave, Luo Xiao couldn't help but think of the Dragon Roar Valley in Yishui City, and the years of cultivating martial arts in Yishui. The disciples of the Xiuwu Hall must be very excited to respond, who among the deacons who is eligible? Chen Jiaoxi, who taught himself archery at the beginning, counts as one, Deacon Liu, who is good at footwork, and ...... It seems that there is no more. Well, presumably Brother Cheng will definitely participate and achieve good results......
