Chapter 62: The Rules of Fairness
Looking at He Chaoxi who flew by, Duanmu Lian's heart gradually became hot.
He Chaoxi's cultivation of the Qingteng Withered Glory Technique is the strongest cultivation method of the Qingteng Sword Academy, with special mysteries, and the understanding of some sword scriptures is not comparable to many Qingteng Sword Academy and Baiyang Cave students in his opinion.
Today, this young man, who is extremely outstanding in all aspects, will definitely shine with dazzling brilliance and greatly promote the prestige of the Qingteng Sword Academy.
"It's okay to hurry up and practice in normal times, but now so many people are waiting for you, it's really rude. β
So although he scolded him, there was not much stern look on his face.
He Chaoxi didn't say much, just bowed down and apologized, and then lined up beside several students of the Qingteng Sword Academy.
Not far from him, there was a student of the Qingteng Sword Academy, with a restrained expression, unconsciously clenching the hilt of the sword in his arms, it was Mo Chen.
The sun was getting stronger, and the morning mist in the Qingteng Sword Courtyard gradually dissipated.
Everyone followed behind Duanmu Lian and the others, passed through the entire Qingteng Sword Academy, and climbed to Tianzhu Peak, the back mountain.
The Sword Sacrifice Canyon, where the Sword Sacrifice Trial, is located under Tianzhu Peak, and the Qingteng Sword Courtyard has five or six more hills between Tianzhu Peak and the slightly low Iron Sword Ridge on the opposite side.
The distance between these mountains is more than 100 zhang, but the Qingteng Sword Academy was pulled with ropes at the beginning, and the vines were entangled, and after hundreds of years, it turned out to be countless vines that were connected to each other and tightly bound, forming more than ten vine bridges that could even accommodate horse-drawn carriages to pass.
In the center of these rattan bridges, a wide viewing platform was built, and the edge of the viewing platform was even planted with some spiritual grass and flowers.
Di Qingmei, the dean of the Qingteng Sword Academy, stood on a viewing platform closest to Tianzhu Peak, his green shirt fluttering, and he wanted to fly away.
Looking at Duanmu Lian and Li Daoji and the others who came from the stairs, his gaze did not stop, only when He Chaoxi appeared in his sight, he bowed slightly, and then he saw Ding Ning beside Nangong Caishu, looking at Ding Ning's slightly immature appearance compared to other Baiyang Cave students, he understood that this should be the wine shop boy named Ding Ning, thinking that the wine shop boy yesterday was really refining Qi in January, his brows frowned slightly.
It's just that no matter how amazing the talent is, from the mouths of several students who happened to be studying in the Aries Cave that day, I learned that this wine shop boy was only cultivating the most ordinary "Lingyuan Dao True Solution", so at this moment in his heart, Ding Ning was just a young beast without much threat.
It is still unknown whether such a young beast will eventually grow into one.
What really needs to be worried is the fierce old beast that is dying old, but the claws are extremely sharp.
Therefore, his gaze quickly crossed Ding Ning's body and fell on Xue Wangxu, who was in the last column.
He straightened his face, waved his hand at Xue Wangxu from afar, and said in a clear voice: "The white sheep and the green vine are one, and the aura of this sacrificial sword trial is very different. The Lord of Xue Cave has reached the seventh realm again, which is really the glory of the two places. β
Hearing this opening sentence, Xie Changsheng in the rear viewing team couldn't help but muttered softly: "This dean is also smart, after the Aries Cave was included in the Qingteng Sword Academy, it was no longer known as the Aries Cave, and if someone else else was replaced, he would never mention the Aries, only the Qingteng Sword Academy, he said this, but he avoided it in words, anyway, the Aries and Qingteng were still under his control afterwards." As long as it is really beneficial, let it be a little bit in words, otherwise if it really makes trouble, Xue Wangxu's cultivation may make him disgraced. β
While he was muttering, Xue Wangxu smiled slightly, and said: "Dean Di is polite, I'm just an old idler now, just look at the excitement, if there is anything to do with the disciples of the Aries Cave, just tell Li Daoji." β
Although these words sounded polite, they fell on Di Qingmei's ears with a different taste.
It means that you don't have to talk to him, if you want to talk, you can talk to Li Daoji, he is in charge of Qingteng Sword Academy and Baiyang Cave, but now he has become an equal with Li Daoji?
His heart was full of anger, but there was no wave on his face.
"The sacrificial sword trial is the tradition of our Qingteng Sword Academy, and the founding patriarch of our Qingteng Sword Academy prayed for the wind, which is to break through the realm to the sixth realm natal realm today, and condense the natal sword Qingteng Wood Sword successfully. Therefore, every year today, our Qingteng Sword Academy will commemorate the ancestors with this ceremony, and the winner can not only get the treasure reward in the courtyard, but also arrange the cultivation of the outer courtyard or other cultivation places in the courtyard to obtain the maximum experience. β
He directly and slowly made a few opening remarks, and then said to Duanmu Lian: "Cultivators are not informal, but they talk about rules. Next, Duanmu Lian explained the rules of this sacrificial sword trial in detail. β
......
"The Sword Sacrifice Canyon is at our feet at this moment, and the canyon here is full of green vines, and the unique green vine circle of our Sword Academy is arranged. The road inside is difficult to find, and although all the green vines look the same, some of them will attack cultivators, and even some vine kings with good strength, whose strength even exceeds that of cultivators who are of the highest grade of qi refining, if they are entangled, when it is confirmed that they cannot break free, remember not to panic, stop all movements, and the vines will not continue to attack, otherwise they will be more and more entangled, and they will have to worry about their lives if they can't be rescued. β
"All the disciples who participated in the entrance were dispersed from the entrance we have demarcated here, and must cross the entire canyon to reach the exit at the other end. It is forbidden for more than two people to form a party and walk together, and if they meet, they will either fight to decide the winner or flee from each other. β
"The crossing of the canyon is limited to three days, three boundaries are drawn, and it is not allowed to be worn in advance, and every day at noon, we will be called by the wolf smoke everywhere, and we must rush to the area in the middle of the wolf smoke before sunset. Then stay in that area until midnight, after midnight before you can choose to rest or continue on your way......"
Duanmu Lian began to explain the rules clearly and loudly, which Ding Ning had heard, but he still listened very carefully.
"Because of the unity of Aries and Qingteng this year, the number of students participating in the trial is twice as high as in previous years, so the difficulty has also increased slightly, and each student will carry a talisman when they enter, and they must fight at least once a day, and they must grab a talisman, otherwise they will be considered a failure even if they reach the designated area. β
"There is no ready-made food in those rest areas this year, but some beasts have been put into the Sword Sacrifice Canyon, and if you need to eat to replenish your strength, you must hunt by yourself, but some of them are not weak, and you must weigh them yourself before hunting. β
As these few words sounded, there was a buzz of discussion in the audience.
"This is very detrimental to all students who are not in the realm of cultivation. Hearing such a slightly different rule from the past, Nangong Caishu turned his head, looked at Ding Ning with some concern, and said softly: "Especially it is even more unfavorable for you, because your cultivation time is too short, and you haven't gone through much physical practice, this kind of rule is more likely to consume physical strength, and your physical strength is easier to keep up." It is necessary to fight every day, and to expend physical strength in search of food... The more to the end, the more disadvantageous it is. β
"This kind of rule is of course more beneficial to a cultivator like He Chaoxi, who is strong in all aspects, but no one can say that it is unfair. Ding Ning nodded, and also said softly: "Because this kind of trial itself is to select the strongest students in all aspects. β
Nangong Caishu fell silent.
Sometimes the so-called rules and fairness are like that, they seem to be the way for everyone, but in reality they are biased in favor of someone and then against someone.
"Where there are rules, there are ways to deal with them. Ding Ning saw the unhappiness in her heart, and he said sincerely: "We were born in a world full of rules, and we have to try to survive under the rules." β
......
"Sister, this kind of rule seems to be very disadvantageous to my brother-in-law, but the point is that this is indeed a very fair rule. β
Xie Changsheng listened to Duanmu Lian's narration, and turned his head to look at Ding Ning, who had been staring at Nangong Caishu, who was talking to Nangong Caishu, "By the way, what do you think of my brother-in-law?"
"Good. β
However, what he didn't expect was that Xie Rou was not angry, but just saw through the trick in his heart, and sneered: "I have confidence in him, he should be very likely to be one of the last top three." β
Xie Changsheng was stunned for a moment, and shouted angrily: "You are changing too fast, right?" I had confidence in him at the beginning, I wanted to bet on him to win, you looked down on him everywhere, but now you are more confident than me, he has just entered the Qi refining, there are Zhang Yi and Su Qin in the Aries Cave, what is the day and night here in the Qingteng Sword Academy, Nangong Caishu is not weak, where do you think he will get the top three?"
"I hadn't seen him before, that's why I judged him like this. Xie Rou glanced at him and said, "But now that I've seen him, it's naturally different." β
Xie Changsheng was almost speechless, "What's the difference?"
Xie Rou looked deeply at Ding Ning in the distance and said, "There is confidence in his eyes, not the kind of confidence that pretends to be... That's why he seems so calm. β
"It's like buying something, some people can't afford it, they pretend they can afford it, but he's the kind of confidence that he really has a lot of money in his wallet and knows that he can afford the goods, no matter how expensive they are. β
Xie Rou slowly continued, "Since I was four years old, I have been looking at various businesses in many businesses in my family, and I have met many businessmen, and I am sure that my eyes will not be wrong. β
Xie Changsheng patted his forehead with his hand and said depressedly: "Is this a business?"
"The principle is the same. β
Xie Rou looked at him and shook his head: "You are still too naΓ―ve, you don't understand many truths, you may be able to understand them in the future." β
Xie Changsheng was so angry that his face turned white, "Where am I small!"
Xie Rou sneered: "It's not that I haven't seen you take a bath, you are small everywhere." β
"That was when I was a child!" Xie Changsheng was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.
"Just a little kid, you know what. Xie Rou said solemnly: "Don't be complacent about this matter, some truths you don't understand, I will naturally explain to my father then." β
"And..."
After a pause, she turned her head and looked at Xie Changsheng deeply, and said: "I'm just a woman, and I don't need my shoulders to carry the burden of the family in the future, I will mess around, and my father will take care of me." But you're different, you're a man. β
(Happy National Day, everyone~~)
