Section 467: Prologue of the Immortal Competition
Today is destined to be an extraordinary day, because the Immortal Contest will officially kick off today.
All the registrants for the Immortal Contest received a notice from Tianji Building today. The preliminary round of the competition was held in the suburbs of Kyoto, at the three sites of Lake Kaze, Hyakusho Forest, and Hirayama Oka.
As soon as this notice was issued, it spread all over the streets and alleys of Kyoto almost instantly, and many of the heavenly servants in the Heavenly Machine Tower almost poured out, surrounding these three areas like iron buckets.
It is clearly written in the notice that the living win, and the dead lose. Every once in a while, an area will be closed, and within an hour of the area being closed, you can choose to quit the game and be considered as a waiver.
If you don't withdraw from the game at that hour, and you don't enter the designated area, you will be surrounded and wiped out by the Heavenly Machine.
Until the end, Tianjilou will continue to narrow down the scope according to the battle situation, and the last ninety-nine people will be decided.
"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone should have seen the notice from Tianji Tower. Entering early can occupy favorable terrain first, and entering later can avoid some unnecessary risks. When do you decide to go?"
After receiving the notice from Tianji Tower, Li Chengjie gathered the group of people he had recruited in advance last night in the front hall and asked in a deep voice.
Now, although everyone has not yet entered the venue of the Immortal Competition, seeing that they are all ready to fight, a killing aura surrounds each of them.
"Let's go, what do you think?"
After Li Chengjie finished asking, everyone looked at each other, or Zhang Guanmin, the generalissimo of the national soldiers and horses, had an opinion, and asked in a deep voice at this moment.
Obviously, Zhang Guanmin has been preparing for this for a long time, and he can't wait now.
"Okay, since everyone has chosen to participate in the Immortal Competition, they are all here to compete for immortals. There are some things that can't be hidden, and it's easy to fall into passivity if you enter late, I agree with Zhang Dashuai's proposal. ”
Cang Hao quickly expressed his position after Zhang Guanmin.
"Okay, let's get out of now!"
Everyone looked at each other and nodded their heads in approval.
"So since everyone chooses to form a team, let's choose one place and enter the three places of Pingshan Gang at the same time. ”
Seeing this, Li Chengjie continued.
"Lord Li, if these three places are left to Lord Li to choose, where will Lord Li enter?"
Hearing this, Ye Bufan asked rhetorically. When everyone heard that Ye Bufan asked Li Chengjie rhetorically, they all smiled knowingly, with Li Chengjie's insight and status, everyone sighed to themselves in the "far-sighted" area.
"Since General Ye asked, the official will also speak bluntly. ”
"This official thinks that the lake is a good choice. ”
"According to the topography, in fact, the lake is equivalent to being surrounded by a hundred pine forests and a flat hill, and there is only a gap in the border for everyone to directly enter the lake. And the entrance of the lake has a relatively wide view, so it is relatively safe for everyone to enter from here. ”
"If you can find an excellent place in the Wind Lake as soon as possible, this place will definitely become a good place for you to attack and retreat, and after entering in advance, you can also keep an eye on that gap, once someone enters, as long as the time is right, you can directly clear it!"
"In my opinion, for the first time in Tianjilou, the area that chooses to close should be one of the two in the hundred pine forests or Pingshan Gang. When the time comes, you can still make adjustments, and if it is really as the official expected, you can also fight another wave of resistance against those who need to enter in an hour. ”
"The odds of winning in this way will undoubtedly be much greater, but in order to achieve this, there is an important premise, that is, after entering the Wind Lake, we must clear out those who entered earlier than everyone as soon as possible, once the plot is conspiratory, the situation will inevitably turn sharply......
Li Chengjie talked eloquently, even if Ye Bufan didn't ask him, he still wanted to give such a suggestion.
"Because, if you enter from the other two places, too many things are unpredictable, and it is very likely that you will be caught off guard. ”
"When we first competed, we didn't have a rough judgment of each other's strength, but this is actually the most dangerous time. ”
Li Chengjie looked at several people in the hall, in the final analysis, he could only be regarded as an outsider at this time, and how to make a decision depended on their own decisions.
"Well, what Master Li said makes a lot of sense, what do you think?"
Ye Bufan nodded, said in a deep voice, and then looked at everyone.
"The mountain lake is difficult to defend and easy to attack, if it is a marching commander, he will definitely not choose here. However, as Master Li said, if you enter the Wind Lake very early, it is enough to be easy to attack, and if it is difficult to defend, you will not defend it, if you are really forced to the point where you can't escape, then how can you talk about fighting for immortals?"
Zhang Dashuai said loudly. In my heart, I compared one or two, and I strongly agreed with the entry from the Wind Lake.
"Well, the Immortal Competition, everything is unpredictable. Master Li is thoughtful, and as Zhang Dashuai said, the competition for immortals is enough. If you want to live in peace, you might as well go home and farm. ”
Wu Yifan also said in agreement. These people are simply determined to win the first round of the Immortal Competition, if they can't enter the top 30, they might as well rest at home.
"Well, let's enter through the Wind Lake. ”
Several other people said one after another.
"Then you hurry up and prepare, and bring all the pills that this official distributed to you last night, maybe you can use them. When you are ready, come to the front hall, and the official will see you off!"
Li Chengjie said in a sonorous tone.
"Good!"
Everyone responded, and then dispersed.
......
"Ladies and gentlemen, the war is imminent, and when you return triumphantly, this official will set up a banquet and wine to celebrate you. Now, you will drink this cup with tea instead of wine, and I hope you can work together to return with a great victory. This official is doing great things for you!"
While Li Chengjie was talking, he took the lead in picking up the teacup and said loudly.
"!"
When everyone saw this, they all drank heavily.
"Let's go!"
Li Chengjie personally took these twelve people and walked towards the Wind Lake.
Along the way, Li Chengjie saw a lot of knights in the rivers and lakes, swords, guns, swords, halberds, and all kinds of weapons in his hands, Li Chengjie saw them all.
"Sure enough, the hero of the world, the Hidden Dragon and the Crouching Tiger. ”
Li Chengjie felt the chivalrous people who came and went, and there were really a few people with profound cultivation. If you fight alone, some of these people are really not opponents. ”
But along the way, after those people in the rivers and lakes saw Li Chengjie, they all flocked to him. Li Chengjie is famous, and at this time, everyone is basically walking towards the arena of the Immortal Competition, and they can hide as far as they can.
......
"Lord Daozong is here, I don't know what you are doing?"
Immediately arrived near the Wind Lake, and suddenly jumped down from the tree dozens of heavenly servants, blocking Li Chengjie's way, and asked with their fists clenched.
These heavenly servants, dressed brightly, all the same color robes, uniform style, extremely easy to identify. Of course, these Heavenly Servants are naturally more familiar with the people who are on the top of the Immortal Seeking List.
So they jumped down from the tree and stopped Li Chengjie here, the rules of the competition for immortals are clear, in the first few rounds, these 'big shots' who were on the list of immortals did not need to participate, nor could they voluntarily participate.
"She is my apprentice, I came to send my apprentice to participate in the Immortal Competition, why does Tianji Building still have a rule that the master does not send disciples?"
Seeing this, Li Chengjie said in a deep voice. Since he is a Taoist sect, he has his own majesty in front of these heavenly servants.
"Lord Daozong, when you arrive here, you have basically reached the boundary of the Wind Lake, although you are her master, but after participating in this Immortal Competition, the road after this is still for your disciple to walk in person. ”
The leading celestial servant spoke in a tactful tone, but the meaning was obvious, Li Chengjie needed to stop there.
"Master. ”
Geng Furong saw that Li Chengjie and the people in Tianjilou were both very strong, so she stepped forward and wanted to persuade Li Chengjie to rest assured, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Li Chengjie spoke.
"When you reach the boundary of the Wind Lake, the official will retreat. ”
Li Chengjie said coldly and continued to walk forward slowly.
"Lord Daozong!"
Seeing this, many heavenly servants stood a little tighter, and together they crossed the front of the road, blocking Li Chengjie's sword steps.
"Why, the official wants to send my disciple, don't you Tianjilou even give this face?"
Li Chengjie insisted.
"Lord Daozong, please don't embarrass us!"
The leader of the Heavenly Machine Servant also has a tough attitude.
"Heh, then it's up to you to stop the official!"
Li Chengjie's immortal power surged, and his powerful aura directly bounced away from the heavenly servant who had just spoken to him, and then continued to walk forward.
The crowd behind Li Chengjie looked at Li Chengjie quietly, no matter what Li Chengjie wanted to do, in short, just let him go.
"Lord Daozong!"
"Why bother?"
At this time, a person walked out from behind those heavenly machine attendants, stretched out his hand to catch the heavenly machine attendants who were bounced away by Li Chengjie, and said in a deep voice.
"Ghost Elder!"
Seeing this, those heavenly servants bowed down and saluted one after another.
"Ghost Elder?"
When Li Chengjie heard this, he muttered, looking at the man, under such a sun, that person had no shadow, and then looked at his feet, as if he had not really stepped on the earth, as if he was about to step on it, standing on tiptoe in the void.
"Dao Sect, Elder Ben has already come out, you can rest assured!"
Elder Ghost, said in a gloomy tone. It's not that the words are gloomy, but that every word of the voice has a sense of exhaustion, so it brings a sense of tranquility.
"The ghost house belongs to the seven houses of the southern Suzaku house. ”
"You are one of the elders of the Vermilion Bird Factory?"
Li Chengjie looked the ghost elder up and down and asked suspiciously.
"Dao Sect, I heard that you once fought against the seven elders of my Heavenly Machine Tower, and even seriously injured the Heavenly Lord of Canglong Heaven. ”
The two 'talked' to each other without saying a word.
"Since I've heard about this official's record, I won't get out of the way. ”
"She is the only female disciple of this official. ”
Li Chengjie's tone was still tough and did not give in at all. But this is also normal, since I didn't choose to give in at the beginning, and now I have retreated, not to become a bully who is afraid of the hard.
"Daozong, are you sure?"
Elder Ghost sneered and asked rhetorically.
"Sure and sure!"
As Li Chengjie spoke, he continued to take a step forward.
"Okay, get out of the way, let the Dao Sect Lord send his precious disciple well!"
When the ghost elder heard this, he laughed three times rather strangely, as if he was extremely happy to hear Li Chengjie's answer.
"Then, thank you Elder Ghost!"
Li Chengjie sneered, nodded, and then walked over with Geng Furong.
Zhang Guanmin and Ye Bufan looked back and forth to make sure that there was nothing abnormal, and then followed.
......
"There are about 100 people in the Wind Lake now, you have to be careful. There are three hidden in the lake. ”
When he arrived at the boundary of the Wind Lake, Li Chengjie stopped, and then said softly.
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and when they looked at the Wind Lake again, they were a little more vigilant. Everyone has a tacit understanding, and no one is silent. Zhang Guanmin took the lead and took the lead in entering the Wind Lake.
The heavenly servant next to him looked at it coldly, and did not check Zhang Guanmin's identity, allowing Zhang Guanmin to walk into it like this.
Seeing this, the rest of the people followed one after another.
"Master, that Rong'er also went in. ”
Geng Furong walked at the end, glanced at Li Chengjie reluctantly, and then hugged the delusional sword tightly and said.
"Rong'er, be careful. Remember the swordsmanship that the teacher taught you, if there is danger, don't panic, remember, you are holding the sword of the teacher!"
Li Chengjie was flustered when he walked in just now, and now looking at Geng Furong, he felt that Geng Furong was a little weaker, he bent down slightly, touched Geng Furong's head and said.
"Okay, Rong'er remembered!"
Geng Furong nodded very seriously and ran into it quickly.
Li Chengjie stood there, watching the group drift away.
"Daozong, have you finished sending your disciples?"
At this moment, the ghost elder suddenly appeared behind Li Chengjie and asked leisurely.
"Elder Ghost, what do you want to do when you follow me all the way?"
When Li Chengjie heard this, he chuckled, turned around slowly, and looked directly at the terrifying ghost face of the ghost elder and asked in a deep voice.
"Not only did I follow you, but several elders of my Tianji Building were staring at a few of them on the Immortal Hunting List, in order to ensure the competition system of the Immortal Competition. ”
When the ghost elder heard this, sure enough, the tracking all the way just now was discovered by Li Chengjie.
"Well, that official understands the ghost elder, can the ghost elder also understand the official's love for disciples?"
Li Chengjie blinked, nodded and said.
"Understand, understand, human nature, of course understand!"
Hearing this, the ghost elder said with a smile.
"However, just let the Dao Sect leave like this, how can Elder Ben fight for the position of the owner of the Vermilion Bird Factory?"
The ghost elder laughed a few times, and his words were very proud.
"What does the position of the owner of the Suzaku Factory have to do with this sect?"
Li Chengjie was stunned when he heard this, although he was still confused now, he seemed to be able to understand.
"Dao Sect may not know that our twenty-eight elders of Tianji Building are divided into four major organizations: Canglong Heaven, Xuanwu Que, White Tiger Pavilion, and Vermilion Bird Factory, and there are seven Star Elders under each organization, and Canglong Heaven can have a god, and my Vermilion Bird Factory naturally has a factory owner. ”
"The last Immortal Competition, the four major stars were revealed, and the landlord agreed that if it were not for the death of the Lord of the Stars, no star could be moved, and this next Immortal Contest Conference was your opportunity to compete for immortals. It's also an opportunity for our twenty-eight elders to re-compete for the Lord of the Stars!"
The ghost elder observed up and down around Li Chengjie, and explained patiently to Li Chengjie.
"Oh, I see. ”
"It doesn't sound like it has anything to do with the Honko. ”
When Li Chengjie heard this, he shrugged and said. To be honest, being watched in a circle by a "ghost" like this, Li Chengjie got goosebumps all over his body.
"If you want to participate in the battle of the Lord of the Stars, like the Battle for Immortals, you will always have to eliminate a round of screening first. And the three of you are the target of our twenty-eight elders, as long as you defeat one of them, you can pass the first round of screening!"
Elder Ghost said softly.
"Oh, so Elder Ghost thinks this sect is weak and can be bullied?"
Li Chengjie understood now, and asked with a sneer.
"Yes and no. ”
"The strength of the Dao Sect's quasi-immortal king can be said to be the strongest among the three sects on the surface. ”
"And because of the Dao Sect, you have seriously injured the God of Canglong Heaven, therefore, the landlord has specially ordered that if you can defeat the Dao Sect, you can directly advance to the finals!"
The more the ghost elder thought about it, the happier he became, and when he spoke, his smile was really hard to hide.
"Ghost Elder, this sect wants to know, why is the ghost elder laughing? Does the ghost elder think that he has won this sect?"
Li Chengjie couldn't know what this "veritable" ghost elder was thinking, and he could laugh so happily. brought Li Chengjie a feeling of extreme discomfort.
"Of course, otherwise, why would Elder Ben let you in?"
"Could it be that Dao Sect thinks that Elder Ben is really afraid of you?"
When the ghost elder heard this, he smiled even more happily. Suddenly, between heaven and earth, there was a gust of yin wind howling.
"If Elder Ghost is so sure, why don't you just do it?"
Li Chengjie said coldly, listening to the laughter of the ghost elder, Li Chengjie was already a little sick to his stomach.
"Of course Elder Ben is sure. Daozong, haven't you forgotten that your precious apprentice just now went into the Wind Lake with your sword?"
To be fair, Elder Ghost really reminded him with complete kindness.
"There is no sword in this sect, is this what the ghost elder relies on?"
"Don't forget, this sect is a Dao Sect, not a Sword Sect. Without a sword, you can't do anything about this sect. ”
Li Chengjie laughed contemptuously twice, shook his head slightly, and between the surging immortal power, there was a faint golden glow covering his fists.
"Daozong, why bother. I don't want to hurt you, and you don't need to be so embarrassed. As long as the Dao Sect bows his head and admits defeat, Elder Ben will bow down and send the Dao Sect Master out of here safely. After all, with the power of the Dao Sect, it is still possible to stop a few unsuccessful stars. ”
The Ghost Elder smiled gloomily, obviously his abacus was striking loudly and beautifully.
"Oh, that is, this sect not only wants to help Elder Ghost directly advance to the finals, but also help Elder Ghost stop a few challengers who are not successful?"
Li Chengjie listened to Elder Ghost's words, rolled his eyes at Elder Ghost, and sighed slightly.
"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!"
Li Chengjie muttered softly, and then swung his fist.
Li Chengjie doesn't want to continue talking nonsense with the ghost elders, he will fight if he wants to, even if the delusional sword is not in his hand, Li Chengjie is as fearless!
However, the ghost elder did not dodge or dodge, just said a word softly, and Li Chengjie forcibly retracted his fist.
"Daozong, aren't you worried about your precious disciple?"
The ghost elder's eyes were gloomy, his lips were lightly opened, and he looked like he had eaten Li Chengjie.
"Say what you want to say, !! after you say it"
Originally, it was nothing. Tianjilou has this regulation, and some people challenge it, which is normal. But until Elder Ghost mentioned Geng Furong, Li Chengjie's eyes suddenly showed a few angers!
"Eh, Daozong, don't be angry. Isn't win-win cooperation and mutual benefit the general trend of the world?"
"Elder Ben just doesn't want Lord Dao Sect to suffer too much, right, it's completely kind. ”
The ghost elder looked at Li Chengjie's angry eyebrows, suddenly changed his face, and said flatteringly.
"It's really a matter of seeing people talking about people, and talking nonsense when you see ghosts. This ghost elder is still really changeable like a ghost. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, finish!"
Li Chengjie stared coldly at the ghost elder's ghost eyes and said sharply.
"Okay, the elder said it bluntly. If the Dao Sect Master can promise Elder Ben, Elder Ben can swear to the Heavenly Machine, he will definitely be able to protect the disciples of the Dao Sect and advance to the third round smoothly!"
The ghost elder said righteously. Elder Ghost seemed to feel that this was a condition that Li Chengjie couldn't refuse at all.
"After all, the danger of the Immortal Contest is endless, and just now I saw Li Chengjie's determination to send Geng Furong into the Wind Lake, as well as Li Chengjie's attitude of handing over his sword to Geng Furong. Elder Ghost concluded that Li Chengjie must cherish this disciple very much. ”
Of course, when Elder Ghost saw that Geng Furong was so young and beautiful, with the posture of captivating the country and the city, and Daoist Li Chengjie was also in the prime of his youth, Elder Ghost became more and more firm in his thoughts. ”
The filthy thoughts of filthy people are always like this.
"What if, what if this sect is not?"
Li Chengjie asked with a grin.
"Dao Sect, please think twice! Elder Ben is willing to swear to Tianji that Dao Sect can trust Elder Ben and will definitely be able to do what he says. ”
The ghost elder was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Chengjie's rhetorical question without hesitation, and then a trace of dead air oozed from his ghostly eyes, and he looked at each other coldly and said sharply.
"What if, what if this sect is not?"
Li Chengjie raised his eyebrows when he heard this, his voice was a few degrees higher, and he said more and more fiercely.
"Heh, if the Dao Sect does not cooperate, Elder Ben can only change the method and persuade the Dao Sect well. In fact, cooperating with Elder Ben, Dao Sect has only lost a little face, and there will be challengers who can get it back later. ”
"I can protect my disciples even more, and directly advance to the third round. Daozong, why not. Isn't that little bit of lost face that you can get back at any time?"
"And Elder Ben can promise the Daoist Sect that he will never preach it everywhere. Isn't that good?"
Elder Ghost is still thinking about reaping both the benefits. If you can cooperate with the Dao Sect like this, the chances of winning this battle for the Lord of the Stars will undoubtedly be a little greater.
"Not good!"
Li Chengjie glared at the ghost elder, then clenched his fists again, and there was a crisp sound in his bones, like a flat ground exploding thunder.
"Daozong, don't toast and don't eat and drink, the sword is not there, what are you arrogant about?
As the ghost elder spoke, he spoke angrily. Then the wind swept wildly, and the world here suddenly became gloomy, and the dark clouds were thick, as if there would be a torrential rain here in the next second.
Huashuge
