Chapter 85: The Grand Event
Although Hu Yan was not injured, he still frightened the senior brothers. Everyone looked at Hu Yan carefully for a long time, and after making sure that Hu Yan was really fine, they were relieved.
"Old Twelve, you are really, this trick of the green dragon demon subduing is incomparable, with your current skills, you can't control it freely, why do you forcibly use it? If you hurt the fourteenth brother, can you bear it?" The tenth senior brother glanced at the twelfth senior brother with some anger.
"Senior Brother Ten, I didn't mean to. I saw Fourteen suddenly use a powerful move, and I didn't think much about it, so I used this trick to subdue the green dragon. Senior Brother Twelve's face turned white for a while, a little aggrieved and a little afraid.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Senior Brother Nine hurriedly stepped forward to reassure him: "This can't be blamed on the old twelve, this is just his instinctive reaction, but fortunately, the old fourteen is not injured, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune." In the future, the old twelve will pay attention to the point, and the discussion between the brothers and sisters will stop as soon as possible. However, the fourteenth brother, I didn't expect that the real power in your body is so strong, and you can actually block the old twelve's trick of the green dragon to subdue the demon. You know, even I can't stop him unscathed. ”
The eighth senior brother also said to the mud: "By the way, fourteenth brother, I see that your swordsmanship is not from Qingyuan Palace, I don't know where the master is?"
"My sword technique is called Changhong Sword Technique, which is indeed not the practice of Qingyuan Palace, but is taught by an immortal named Luoluo Immortal. The master also knew. Hu Yan pondered for a moment, feeling that this swordsmanship was not a secret, so he didn't plan to hide it from the senior brothers.
The eighth senior brother pondered for a moment and said, "Although I only saw you use two moves, you can know that this is an extremely domineering set of swordsmanship, and it requires a strong internal force to lead it to burst out with even more powerful power." But I see that when you just fought with the old twelve, you seemed to be too anxious, and you didn't give full play to the power of these two moves. Moreover, the experience of facing the enemy is insufficient, and he cannot grasp the best time to strike. ”
Senior Brother Nine nodded and said, "Yes, Old Fourteen, although the true power in your body is strong, your combat skills are really lacking, and your experience in facing the enemy is also insufficient. ”
Hearing the two senior brothers say this, Hu Yan also frowned, which was exactly what he was worried about.
Seeing Hu Yan's frowning, the eighth senior brother comforted: "It's okay, there are still five days to go anyway." For the remaining five days, we will accompany you to practice swords. It will definitely help you in your practice. ”
The other senior brothers nodded approvingly.
"Then how can it be done, this will delay the progress of the senior brothers' cultivation!" Hu Yan didn't expect that the senior brothers would be willing to sacrifice their own cultivation time to accompany him to practice the sword, and his heart was both moved and worried.
The eighth senior brother said: "It doesn't matter, five days is not much room for us to improve, and you are different, the true power contained in your body is already quite powerful, but it has not been effectively used, so it can't exert great power." Although five days is not a long time, I am confident that after five days, both your exercises and your experience in facing the enemy will make great progress. When the time comes, it will be able to better deal with the inner door Dabi. It's good for you and for us in the deacon's hall. ”
"Eighth Senior Brother is right, Fourteenth Brother, your room for improvement is very huge, as long as you practice hard in these five days, you will definitely have a huge harvest, and whether my Deacon Hall can save face at that time depends on you. Senior Brother Nine smiled and patted Hu Yan's shoulder.
In the face of the sincerity of the senior brothers, Hu Yan was grateful from the bottom of his heart. But at this moment, he also felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier. A twelve-year-old boy, who had just stepped into the path of cultivation, had to take on the honor of the entire deacon hall, which made him a little uneasy. But looking at the blazing eyes of the senior brothers, Hu Yan could only secretly make up his mind that he would not let them down and not let the deacon hall become a laughing stock.
Five days is not a long time, but it is not a short time, and he believes that with the help of all the senior brothers, his cultivation will definitely improve greatly. At that time, even if you can't win the big game in the inner door, at least you won't lose too ugly.
Thinking about it this way, it is also a lot more relaxed.
So he nodded and said, "Then thank you all the senior brothers, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to cultivate and will not disappoint your kindness." ”
"Haha, that's good!Come on, let's continue practicing......" Senior Brother Eighth patted Hu Yan's thin shoulder heavily......
......
Five days passed in a flash, and finally came to the opening day of the annual 'Sichuan Master Meeting' of Qingyuan Palace.
On this day, guests from all over the world gathered, and pilgrims from all walks of life gathered. The entire Qingyuan Palace and even the entire stone toad field were immersed in a joyful event. But these mundane things are all handled by the deacons and elders of the outer gate and the disciples of the outer gate. But none of the people of the inner gate attended, for there were more important rituals waiting for them.
The inner gate big competition ceremony and the outer door disciple recruitment ceremony were opened at the same time in the main hall altar.
Under the guidance of the master in charge, the deacons and elders of each hall led their disciples to pay homage to the Sanqing Patriarch and the "Great Master" of the town palace, and the master began to read out the matters concerning the recruitment of disciples from the outer gate.
The recruitment of this outer disciple is also the responsibility of an elder who specializes in this matter, and it can be carried out according to the practice of previous years. At that time, only the outer disciples who have passed the examination will have the opportunity to enter the inner gate to practice. Those who are not qualified still return to the outer gate to continue their cultivation and wait for the opportunity of the second year.
Although hundreds of outer disciples participate in the assessment every year, there are not many people who can actually enter the inner door to practice. It is a blessing that a third of the people can pass, and it is a mixed bag. Therefore, every year, in order to enrich the strength of the main hall, the four inner sects will fight for these outer disciples. However, the Deacon Hall is an exception, and only four people have been admitted in five years, and they are not the best in the assessment.
And the inner door is also a means for each hall to recruit disciples. The winner of the Inner Gate Dabi will not only have the qualifications to give priority to the selection of disciples who have passed the assessment, but will also allow more disciples to choose to join them. After all, everyone is willing to join a more powerful division as a backer.
After the master finished reading out the recruitment of outer disciples, he began to read out the matters of the inner disciples.
This time, the model of the inner door competition is a little different from that of previous years. Because the number of inner disciples participating in the big competition this year is too large, if you compete one-on-one like in previous years, it is too time-consuming and laborious, and it is not fair, after all, the personnel in the four halls are not consistent, and it is impossible to compete one-on-one. Therefore, after the deliberations of the four halls, a new plan was finally drawn up.
This time the big score is two stages, the first stage is the forced elimination stage. Everyone set off together into the newly opened Lost Forest in the mountain behind the inner gate, and with their own divine sense, they walked out of the maze within the specified time and arrived at the martial fighting platform in the deepest part of the maze. If within the specified time, those who do not reach the martial arts arena will be automatically eliminated and lose the qualification for the big competition.
The second stage is the big competition stage, and those who pass the first stage will be determined by drawing lots. The loser is eliminated directly, and the winner continues to draw lots to determine the next opponent.
In this way, not only will it save time and effort, but it will also be more open and fair, and whether the disciples can go further can only rely on their own abilities.
The new format is naturally a mixed bag.
But for Hu Yan, it is a thing to be happy about. Since it is a new competition system, it is a new beginning for everyone else, even if it is a disciple who has participated in the Inner Gate Competition before, he will not take advantage of it in such a competition system.
He now has only one goal, to pass through the misty forest first and reach the martial arts platform within the specified time.
Finally, under the master's order, all the disciples who participated in the Inner Gate Contest rushed into the misty forest like a gust of wind.
The six contestants in the Deacon Hall were not in a hurry, just now. They've come up with a good solution. There are many maze in this misty forest, and there are many traps among them, and there are even some beasts blocking the way, and if you enter rashly, not only will you not have a chance to get out of the maze, but you will also fall into the trap, or be blocked by those beasts, so as to exhaust time and be eliminated.
They were ready to huddle together to keep warm, at least in the misty forest. We can also support each other in times of difficulty.
After all the disciples of the other three halls had entered the misty forest, the deacon hall began to follow in their footsteps.
This is also one of their strategies, first let the other three halls of the people in front of the way, they will also take fewer detours, even if they encounter a trap, they have already been discovered by the other three halls, which is a little less dangerous for them.
The only thing they have to worry about is time. In two hours, as long as they can get out of the Lost Forest and enter the martial arts arena within two hours, they will enter the second stage of the competition.
But if they blindly follow the old path that others have taken, they will naturally fall behind. This is also a hidden danger for them.
However, at this stage, it can only be one step at a time.
As soon as they stepped into the misty forest, everyone was blinded by the fog in the sky. Even his divine consciousness became blurred, and the surroundings were white, and there was no distinction between humans and animals five meters away. I couldn't see the road ahead at all.
The eighth senior brother walked in the front, following the footprints left on the ground, leading everyone forward.
But it didn't take long for the footprints to disappear, and in the dense fog not far away, several disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall were looking at them with a smile. And the leader is none other than Senior Brother Gou of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Seeing this, the eighth senior brother couldn't help frowning, and secretly said something was wrong.
As if to confirm the Eighth Senior Brother's thoughts, Senior Brother Gou slowly stepped forward and said, "Yo, aren't these a few junior disciples from the Deacon Hall? ”
"Senior Brother Gou, what do you want?" Eighth Senior Brother's right hand slowly touched the long sword hanging from his waist......
