Chapter 64: Group Stage (Listen to the Wind for the Fallen Leaves)
Zhao Ran thought for a while and asked Linglu: "So Pansi has opened a column? Do you want to make decisions for you?"
"What is the Daoist going to do?"
"Let's see if there's a potential contract for column trading between Moonshadow and Pansi. ”
Yuyang shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, forget it." Although the little demon was dumped, I have to be fair, Pansi's article is still very good, there are many readers, and a large number of readers will write to her every month, and I heard that she is already qualified to open a column. This time, it was also Moon Shadow who told her to open a column in front, and she leaned in and promised to be behind...... In short, if you are together, you will gather and if you don't get together, you will disperse, this is the rule of our demon cultivation, if it is punished by the Taoist, then the little demon I don't have the face to be a demon, and I will have no face to see my fellow Daoists in the future. ”
Zhao Ran listened to a burst of amusement and comforted: "Since this is the case, then you should practice well in the capital, scatter your heart, cheer up, don't think too much, the so-called end of the world is no grass, strive to come out of the shadows as soon as possible, and meet a better tomorrow with a full mental state!"
Yuyang nodded and said: "Thank you for the encouragement, Xiao Xiu thinks that the joy of the spirit is only a temporary pleasure, and she will know it after a long time, and the improvement of cultivation is the permanent pursuit!
"You can think so, Poor Dao is deeply grateful, Yuyang, you will definitely do something in the future and achieve a great demon name, and there may be how many banshees will rush to find you at that time. ”
"Little demon, I've always been very confident in this! By the way, when will the Taoist chief assign affairs to the little demon? Xiao Xiu has been looking forward to it for a long time...... And what kind of grass did the Taoist chief say just now, where is the grass, how does it taste, and is it aphrodisiac?"
Zhao Ran rolled his eyes: "Are you still strong......? Forget it, I'm just making an analogy, you don't have to take it to heart. As for the assignment, there is no such thing as yet, so you can wait patiently. In short, you need to be more cautious here, this is the heart of the Ming Dynasty, no more remote and mountainous than our Sichuan Province, full of people and prosperous, don't cause chaos, otherwise you will be suppressed by the Taoist monks, I am afraid that it will be too late to save you. ”
"Don't worry, I'll be careful about the little demon, I passed by a few mountains and forests when I came, and I also saw a lot of deer and sheep passing through it, I went to find those children to play, and I won't cause trouble to the Taoist." ”
settled Yuyang, and instructed the housekeeper to hang a wooden sign around his neck, indicating that it was Xu Zhenren of Baoyue Villa, and the specific contact person wrote himself, so that most of the trouble was blocked, and Zhao Ran could return to the city with confidence.
......
The audition of the cultivation competition, which lasted for five days, finally had a result, because it was the first time to hold the competition, the number of participants of the archmage-level monks was not very ideal, and there were only twenty-eight in the audition, and the Jindan mage-level monks were a lot more, reaching forty-six, and the most registered was the Huangguan monk, with more than 180 people shortlisted.
According to the competition system, each level will enter the group stage of the second stage of the main competition, and the draw will be divided into groups, with three to four people in each group, and the first place will directly advance to the quarterfinals. There is one round at the Archmage level, with seven people directly promoted, and the remaining one place in the quarterfinals is filled by the second place with the best results in each group, while the monk at the Mage level plays two rounds, and the Yellow Crown level plays three rounds.
From the second stage, it entered the main match mode of two-on-two confrontation, which began to reflect the charm of the practice ball, and the crowd poured into the court, and it was almost impossible to get a ticket for the three-day game. In the entire capital and even in Nanzhili, the atmosphere about the competition began to heat up further.
Chaotian Palace, located in the northeast of Xuanwu Lake, has the largest number of spectators, and it is the group stage of the yellow-crowned monks held here, and the attitude of Chunfeng and Guanyuan towards the competition has slowly changed from the beginning of disdain, and gradually paid attention to it.
After watching from the main stand for a while, Guanyun pouted, and when the spring breeze turned his head to look, it was Li Dayin, Pei Zhongze and Zhao Ran who walked into the VIP seat. Sitting on the VIP table are the powerful people in Beijing, including the two princes of King Yu and King Jing, as well as several big worshippers in Chaotian Palace, such as Gong Kepei, Lan Daoxing, Lantian Yu, etc., all of whom are above the realm of refiners.
Li Dayin and several Chaotian Palace worshippers nodded in greeting, but Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze were strangers to them, and they couldn't see each other's power.
Wang Shouyu was also in the main stand, but he was not qualified to go to the VIP seat, he looked back at the spring breeze and Guanyun, and the three of them let out a cold snort from their nostrils at the same time. They have not been in trouble with Zhao Ran once or twice, and they have returned every time, summing up their experience, the surname Zhao has always been hiding under the wings of a group of masters, and he doesn't know when he will have the opportunity to start, and he is a real rat!
The same is true at this moment, the only difference is that the winged protector was replaced by the Li Yuan envoy!
The eyes of the three of them exchanged eagerly, looking forward to being able to think of a good idea, and teach a lesson how to look at this Zhao Zhiran, but still couldn't come up with any way. Li Dayin spoke to them, and no one was allowed to move Zhao Zhiran, otherwise he would be against him Li Dayin, how should this be good?
Zhao Ran knew that these people were sitting not far behind him, but he didn't have the slightest worry at all, he paid attention to the game on the field leisurely, and talked with Li Dayin and Pei Zhongze from time to time.
Yan Shifan has already beaten the other two monks in the group, and now this is the last one, and in this match, he has already scored a 26-hole finish of 12 holes (only 12 holes in the group stage), and his opponent has scored 17 on the fourth hole, and if he succeeds in this interception, he will advance to the quarter-finals with a winning record.
The opponent swung the club, the practice ball flew out into the air, the trajectory deviated greatly, and the opponent threw down the club, pinching the trick with both hands, intending to pull the practice ball back, but a little reluctantly.
Yan Shifan immediately laughed, this was caused by the huge psychological pressure caused by his first three strokes to the opponent, so that he made a serious mistake in the stroke!
After a slight pause, Yan Shifan did not hit the ball to intercept, but stuffed the club into his leather bag with his shaking hand - he no longer needed to play the stick. When he turned around and came out in a dashing manner, bowing slightly to the stands on both sides, the opponent's cultivation ball finally fell and smashed directly into the pond in the distance, splashing a helpless splash.
Yan Shifan easily advanced, but Zhang Tengming was very bumpy, he was also unlucky, he met a strong opponent in the first round of the group stage, and won a second, fortunately, the total score was less, and he ranked in the top three in the second group of each group, so he was by-selected for the second round.
He met Yan Shifan in the second round of the game, and Yan Shifan played a thrilling battle, losing to Yan Shifan by two strokes, and was second in the second round again, but fortunately the other group was exposed to cheating on the cue, the first place was canceled, and the second place in the best group played a play-off, and he got the promotion place very thrillingly.
