Chapter 39: The Drawing of Lots
Chapter 39 Draw
This time, there were as many as one hundred and sixty Cangyun Sect disciples who participated in the fighting method competition, far exceeding the scale of the previous thousand years of fighting method competition.
Come to think of it, after all, in the past hundreds of years, under the painstaking management of Yujizi, the overall strength of Cangyunmen has rebounded, and there is gradually a momentum of re-emergence.
According to the usual practice, Yu Jizi began to say a few words of encouragement to the outstanding disciples of the sect in front of him, and then the precept dean Lao Yunhe Daoren stood up and roughly explained the rules of the competition to the disciples aloud, mainly not to hurt people's lives, and to the end of Yunyun.
After Yujizi finished talking to Yunhe Daoren, it was the main event, the lottery.
The method of drawing lots was very simple, this time there were a total of 160 disciples who signed up for the competition, divided into two groups, each group was exactly 80 people.
Cangyunmen prepared a lot of wax pills in advance, there were slips of paper in the wax pills, and there were numbers on the slips, and the wax pills were also divided into two groups, each group of numbers was one to eighty, and then the two groups of wax pills were mixed together and packed in a box.
One by one, the last one hundred and sixty disciples went up and took out a wax pill from the wooden box and pinched it, and the numbers inside represented his number.
Number one, play against another number one, and so on. After a round of competition, 80 people will be eliminated.
In the second round of the competition, the remaining 80 people will compete with each other in the first place of their respective numbers.
For example, the No. 1 lot, vs. the eightieth lot. The second pick vs. the seventy-ninth draw, and so on, until the last thirty-ninth pick vs. the forty draw.
After this round of competition, there will only be forty disciples left in the end, and these forty disciples are basically the leaders of the younger generation of Cangyun Sect.
In the third round, the competition is still based on the method of the first number, and the top 20 are produced, and then the top 10 are produced by continuing to draw the first number, and then the top 5.
In the end, the top three are more interesting, because in the end, the top five disciples compete for the top three, and the five people need to draw lots again, of which the third lottery is a bye, and he will pick up a big bargain and advance directly.
The result of the lottery will definitely determine the fate of people, if it is two strong people with equal strength, such as Gu Jianchi and Yun Qiyou, they will meet in the first round of lots, and the tragedy will basically happen.
This kind of lottery rules are exactly the same as the Broken Sky Cliff fighting method.
Looking at the wooden box carried by the two disciples, most of the disciples, including Ye Xiaochuan, were secretly blessing themselves to draw a good lot, at least not to meet an opponent stronger than themselves in the first round.
In the main hall, there was a lot of discussion, Yu Jizi talked and laughed with Mu Shenxian, Kongjian Monk and others around him, and the other elders were also smiling, and the scene was extremely harmonious. But almost all of the 160 people who are drawing lots are worried.
Ye Xiaochuan clasped his hands together, and there were words in his mouth: "The ancestors of the past dynasties, such as the Buddha, the Taishang Laojun, the Queen Mother, the Jade Emperor, the land father-in-law, Guanyin Bodhisattva, the ten halls of Yama, all the immortals, gods and monsters, the gods and Buddhas of the heavens...... I know that I, Ye Xiaochuan, usually treat you a little disrespectfully, but today you must ignore your past suspicions, bless me to draw a good lot, please, please! I will definitely offer you three incense sticks in the morning and evening in the future!"
Cangyun Sect Senior Brother Gu Jianchi smiled, and was the first to walk up and grab a wax pill from the wooden box, looking very relaxed, as if he didn't take the lottery result to heart.
Then the disciples in the first row also pinched out a wax pill one after another. Ye Xiaochuan was in the last row, and he waited for about a stick of incense before it was his turn to draw lots.
While waiting, he bowed down to all the immortals and bodhisattvas he could think of, seeking a kind of psychological comfort. Now he is in the sixth-layer Yuanshen realm, and his cultivation is not high, nor is it low, as long as he doesn't meet those outstanding disciples of the seventh-layer out-of-body realm, he is basically sure to enter the next round.
Therefore, this first round of lottery is particularly important. As long as he is past the first round, he is almost halfway through his goal. According to his estimates, even if he draws a good lottery, entering the top 40 is already his limit.
But maybe, after all, there are only a dozen disciples of the seventh layer of the out-of-body realm of Cangyun Gate, as long as the opponent is under the out-of-body realm, he is sure that he will not be defeated, or the defeat will not be too ugly.
Ye Xiaochuan trembled and put his hand into the wooden box, he was standing in the last row of the crowd, there were seven or eight of the one hundred and sixty wax pills left in it now, his fingers turned between a few wax pills, and then pinched one and took it out.
The wax pill was not big, it was about like a quail egg, and he couldn't wait to pinch it open, and there was a small yellow note folded up inside, and there was a number on the note: fifteen.
"No. 15, I'm fighting another player who touched No. 15 in the first round, don't be those brothers and sisters I can't beat!"
After the draw, everyone was talking about it, and many people had already found their opponents in the first round, some secretly rejoiced, and some lamented.
After the elder recorded the lottery numbers corresponding to each disciple one by one, the disciples were invited out of the main hall, and after a while, the list of today's first round of fighting methods, as well as the fighting ring where they were, were pasted on the wooden fence, and then the first round of fighting method competition would be conducted.
After recording, Ye Xiaochuan walked out of the reincarnation hall with the large army, and many of his fellow disciples around him were crying and mournful, obviously drawing a stinky lot.
Ye Xiaochuan said to his fellow disciples beside him: "Who is the fifteenth, who is the fifteenth!"
Due to the large number of people, no one responded to who was the fifteenth after calling for a long time.
Ye Xiaochuan saw a few senior brothers who knew each other talking and laughing together, and walked down the white jade steps, Ye Xiaochuan sent it over, and said to Zhu Changshui: "Senior Brother Zhu, what number are you, look at your beauty, do you draw a good lot?"
Zhu Changshui said with a smile: "I am the seventy-sixth, the last round of competition, the opponent, but a junior disciple who has just reached the sixth layer of the Yuan Shen realm, my grasp is still quite big." ”
Ye Xiaochuan hurriedly said, "Then congratulations to Senior Brother Zhu for advancing ahead of schedule!"
Zhu Changshui waved his hand and said: "I haven't competed yet, the results are still uncertain, by the way, I have heard, everyone knows that you also signed up, and they all want to draw the same lottery as you!"
Ye Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Why, everyone thinks I am a soft persimmon and wants to pinch me?"
Zhu Changshui said: "You are not only recognized as the softest persimmon among the one hundred and sixty people, but also offended many people, everyone wants to teach you a lesson in the ring, you have to be careful, by the way, how many numbers are you drawing?"
Ye Xiaochuan said: "On the fifteenth, I will be in the second competition, I have been looking for a long time, and I have not found which one of the three has drawn the same lottery as me, and when I come to the stage later, see if I don't beat him all over the ground to find teeth!"
"Ye Xiaochuan, you are so angry!"
A woman's voice came from behind Ye Xiaochuan.
