On March 14, the clouds were light and the wind was light.

Early in the morning, Qin Ke took Zhang Yixi to find Yang Xiaotian.

The young man was sitting on the threshold, drinking mung bean millet porridge with Qin Fei that had just been boiled.

When the young man saw Qin Ke coming, he hurriedly got up, held a steaming small porcelain bowl, and asked, "Uncle Qin, do you want a bowl?" ”

Qin Ke shook his head and said, "No, I already ate it when I came over." I'm here to look for you this time. ”

The young man hurriedly invited the two into the house and asked, "Uncle Qin, what's the matter?"

Qin Ke took the hot tea brought by Duoduo and said, "Tomorrow is March 15th, and the martial arts conference will be officially held. As is customary, the day before the General Assembly will ask the sects to inform them of the relevant matters and arrange for you to draw lots to choose your opponents. Early this morning, the conference sent someone to inform us that we should come over in the afternoon, saying that there were some changes to the rules of the competition. I'm afraid you're going out with Duoduo, so I'm going to let you know. ”

Yang Xiaotian asked, "Did you say when the afternoon would pass?"

Qin Ke said: "I'll go over after lunch." ”

"Okay. The boy said.

Zhang Yixi saw that Qin Ke had finished explaining the matter, and said: "Yang Xiaotian, I heard from my uncle that you are now the third place on the list of famous rivers and lakes, which is really amazing! We have achieved very poor results in the martial arts conference for two consecutive sessions in Tianguanmen, and this time we have to rely on regaining our majesty." ”

The young man had a good impression of Zhang Yixi, nodded and smiled: "You are not bad, let's work together." ”

Qin Ke looked at Yang Xiaotian, pondered for a moment, and said, "Xiaotian, I heard that you had a very unpleasant quarrel with Lutai Pavilion. The people of Lutai Pavilion are known for their insidious methods, and the practice of the exercises is very different from other sects, if you really encounter them in the competition, you should be careful. ”

The young man nodded and said, "Uncle Qin, I know." ”

"Okay, I'm here mainly for these two things, and I'll go back first after I've explained it. Come to me at noon, and we will go together. You know where I live. ”

"I know, Concubine Liu told me. Yang Xiaotian said.

"Good. After Qin Ke finished speaking, he wanted to beckon Zhang Yixi to go back.

Yang Xiaotian suddenly remembered something, and shouted urgently: "Uncle Shi, wait!"

Qin Ke turned around and said, "What's the matter?"

The young man smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, keep your sword." ”

Qin Ke was inexplicable and shouted, "What?"

The young man said: "Uncle Shi, don't Duoduo have no weapons yet." So I'd like to lend her your sword first, okay?"

Qin Ke laughed and said, "What is this, just take it." It's just that this sword is already my natal sword, and I have to communicate with it first, or I'm afraid that it won't want to give the little girl in her hand. ”

Qin Ke took out the long sword, compared it on the sword, handed it to Duoduo and said, "This sword is famous, I hope you can use it to show off your edge at the conference." ”

Duoduo nodded and took it respectfully: "Thank you, uncle." ”

As if to confirm Qin Ke's words and prove his extraordinary, the sword suddenly burst out with a dragon groan, and the sword light lit up the entire room.

Yang Xiaotian said happily: "This sword is extraordinary, with its help, Duoduo will definitely be invincible." ”

Qin Ke smiled and left with Zhang Yixi.

......

Just after noon, Yang Xiaotian brought Duoduo to Qin Ke.

Everyone at Tianguanmen was already lined up in front of Qin Ke's room, and when Qin Ke saw Yang Xiaotian coming, he shouted, "You two hurry up." ”

The two quickened their pace and came to Qin Ke.

Qin Ke said to the disciples behind him, "Quickly take the clothes of this sect and let the two of them put them on." ”

After a short time, the disciple took over two sets of Tianguanmen's clothes, Yang Xiaotian just took the belt, tied it casually, and said, "Uncle Shi, that's it!"

Qin Ke saw that it was not too early, and didn't want to waste any more time, so he said, "Whatever you want." ”

Yang Xiaotian took the other belt and handed it to Duoduo to tie it.

"Alright, let's go to the martial arts arena. Qin Ke shouted.

"Yes. All the disciples agreed in unison.

This time it was Qin Ke who led the team, Jinghui Zhenren and Meng Wenqing did not plan to go together, so Qin Ke took the disciples of Tianguanmen to the martial arts arena of the Western Emperor Sword Sect.

When everyone came to the martial arts arena, the martial arts arena was already full of people, and Tianguanmen was the last to arrive.

In the martial arts arena, most of them were young disciples from various sects, everyone was elated and smiling, of course, there were a few who seemed nervous, but they were infected by the excitement around them, and barely squeezed out a smile.

Qin Ke led everyone to stand in the position of the Tianguan Gate arranged by the conference.

At this time, the entire martial arts arena was quiet, and everyone was waiting for the stage to speak.

Suddenly, a shrill voice sounded: "It's shameless, so many people are waiting for him to close the door." ”

Yang Xiaotian looked for prestige, but it was Shen Tuwu, and said secretly: Uncle Qin said that the people of Lutai Pavilion will be revenged, and he is really right. Like Shen Tuwu, a small-bellied chicken intestine, he targets himself everywhere.

Qin Ke smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoists, I'm really sorry, I've kept everyone waiting for a long time." After saying that, he clenched his fists and shook them around.

Most people return the salute with their fists in return, signaling that it is okay.

Yang Xiaotian took the opportunity to look for Liu Feiyi in the crowd, because the ranking was determined according to the ranking of the previous martial arts, the total score of the last Western Emperor Sword Sect ranked first, and the Tianguanmen ranked ninth, far apart, the young man looked for it, but he still couldn't find it.

A clear cough sounded on the martial arts stage, everyone's attention was attracted, and when they looked at the stage, it turned out to be Liu Aotian, the sect leader of the Western Emperor Sword Sect, knowing that he had something to say, everyone hurriedly stood and listened quietly.

Liu Aotian was full of silver hair, dressed in white, like a peerless sword out of the sheath, and when he stood there, he felt infinite sword intent.

Liu Aotian looked at everyone in the audience and said slowly: "Everyone, you are all the future of the human race, and you are the leaders of the younger generation. Thousands of years ago, our human race was bullied by other races, and it can be said that we were trying to survive in the cracks. Fortunately, the ancestors of the predecessors worked hard to specialize, penetrated the creation of heaven and earth, and created the method of cultivating the truth, so that the younger generations can practice, so that they can compete with demons and monsters and stand still today. The ancients had a saying: industry is prosperous in diligence, and absurdity is in frolic. There are clouds again: sail against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. In order to let the younger generations not forget the hard years of the past, but also for the prosperity of the human race, the ancestors handed down this martial arts conference. The conference is held once every 15 years, and there was a period of time when people and demons were fighting each other, and they were forced to suspend several sessions, and today's martial arts conference has been held for 106 times. ”

Everyone was amazed, one hundred and six issues, one fifteen years, isn't it more than 1,600 years!

Liu Aotian continued: "The original intention of the martial arts conference is to encourage young disciples to go further, you are all the hope of the human race, everyone should encourage each other. ”

"Yes. The young disciples in the audience responded in unison.

Liu Aotian smiled and said, "Okay, good." Pointing to the twelve people standing behind him, "For the sake of fairness in the conference, we have elected representatives from the twelve factions to be the judges of this conference. You don't have to be careful that they will favor the disciples of this sect, because the twelve of them will not be the judges of the competition with the disciples of this sect. ”

Yang Xiaotian looked at the twelve people behind him, Tao Yuanbo was among them, and the other eleven people didn't know any of them.

Liu Aotian then introduced the twelve referees behind him, all of whom were veterans of various factions.

After the introduction, Liu Aotian said again: "Since there were often situations in the past where there were disciples and disciples of the same sect fighting at the beginning, after our discussion, some changes will be made to the rules this time. That is, when the time comes to draw lots, unlike in the past, when the young disciples who participated in the lottery were all drawn, this time the first twelve sects were drawn, and the sects competed against the sects. This time, there are six people from each sect to participate, and after three rounds, the remaining nine people will be eliminated, and then the nine people will draw lots to select their respective opponents. Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded.

Yang Xiaotian thought in his heart: There are only nine people, so it is not that there is no one without an opponent, so he said loudly: "Sect Master Liu, according to what you say, nine people draw lots, then there will be a situation where one person has no opponent!"

Liu Aotian couldn't help but look at the young man twice, and said, "I just want to wait for you to ask." What Xiaoyou said is that only four pairs can appear in the nine-person lottery, and the remaining person who draws the No. 1 lottery will be directly promoted. ”

There was a commotion in the audience, "Is this okay?", "Isn't this unfair compared to the other eight people in the test?", "Isn't it a bit unreasonable to draw the No. 1 lottery to advance by luck." ”

Liu Aotian coughed twice, saw that the audience was quiet, and said: "The road is long, and many times it is also by luck to cross the difficulties of the aisle, so why not advance by luck?"

When the people thought about it, they stopped delving into it.

"Since you have no opinions, then please ask the representatives of each faction to come to the stage and draw lots to choose your opponent sect. ”

Soon the results came out, and the opponent of the Heavenly Gate was in the Divine Machine Pavilion.

Yang Xiaotian listened carefully to the announcement on the stage, the opponent of the Western Emperor Sword Sect is Chongwu Academy, and the opponent of Buqi Academy is Longshou Pavilion, it seems that in the first three rounds, he and Concubine Liu will not meet Shen Tuwu.

After the results came out, the various factions left one after another, all thinking of going back to study their opponents as soon as possible and striving for good results.
