Chapter 35: The Contest Begins

"Then I'm too lazy to care! As long as I don't do evil!" Shangguan Xing'er didn't think about it, so he blurted out.

"They are your brothers, what if one day they do evil and affect your parents or yourself, or if they offend the enemy and are hunted down by the enemy?" Feng Sanniang then asked.

But I didn't expect this seemingly simple question, my own answer, would lead to so many questions, if this kind of situation really happened, I was afraid that she didn't know what to do, Shangguan Xing'er was speechless for a while, and didn't know how to answer, so he just shook his head and stopped talking.

Lu Chengfeng groaned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Good and evil are just a thought. If they are all doing evil, as their brother, I can only work harder to do good regardless of whether I want to or not. At least there will be one less evil person in this world!" There was some helplessness in the words, but they were heartfelt.

Hearing this, Feng Sanniang nodded and said, "This is the Dao! In fact, there is no good or evil in this world, and the so-called Tao has always been in your heart! And what your master said is exactly what it means!"

The two of them didn't seem to understand her words, and they didn't know whether to nod or shake their heads for a while.

Seeing this, Feng Sanniang couldn't help but smile again, "You will understand in the future." But if you go to Shushan, Sanniang only needs you to promise me two things, one is to find the head of Cijian and ask about it for my young lady. After a pause, he said with a straight face, "This second thing, you have to hear it clearly, as a true cultivator, you must not hurt the unrestrained person! If you do this one day, I Feng Sanniang will be the first to spare you!"

"Lu Chengfeng must be remembered in his heart!

Hearing him swear like this, Feng Sanniang nodded with satisfaction.

While talking and laughing, there was a crisp bell on Shu Mountain, the bell was swaying, but it was a little tight, thinking that it had begun to gather disciples and prepare for the competition. There are not a few registered disciples of Shushan plus Huang-level disciples, how many people are waiting for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity just like Lu Chengfeng, if they are lucky enough to stand out, this is definitely a thing to be proud of in Shushan.

At this time, the back mountain is also a lively scene.

In the courtyard, the seven one-person-high platforms that had already been set up were arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, with different heights, and many registered disciples had already gathered around with great interest at the moment they heard the bell, including some female disciples. I saw that although they were dressed in coarse linen clothes, they all had smiling faces on their faces, and they were all eager to try. Of course, there are also some frustrated people who must know their own ability, but they have lost confidence early. Of course, this does not affect the overall situation of the whole competition.

On the east and west sides of the courtyard, there are also two high platforms, on which Nanmu chairs are placed. There were three people on the east platform, Elder Wuwei, Li Yunfei, and Song Qingshan, while on the west side were Elder Xuanqing, who was in charge of the Yellow Order, and the other two white-clothed disciples stood on either side, and it seemed that they must be his proud disciples.

As soon as the bell sounded, Elder Wuwei shouted and began, and immediately someone stood on the high platform, with a total of fourteen people on seven platforms.

The stage was full of registered disciples, and the weapons in their hands were almost uneven, and most of them were empty-handed, and they didn't even have weapons, so they could only use some simple charms during the battle.

The cultivation realm has its own saying of 'Qionghua in the south, Shushan in the north'. This so-called north and south is not just in the direction, but their cultivation methods, and factions, the two sects as early as thousands of years ago when the Shushan Alliance began, and the entire cultivation world was divided into two cultivation methods. Nanpai Qionghua pays attention to the dual cultivation of swordsmen, that is to say, their weapons are smelted with their own essence and blood, and they are summoned by spells.

The Northern School is different, they mainly focus on Qing cultivation, believing that as long as their own cultivation is profound, whether they have weapons or not is the same, and the power of every move and style used is based on their own cultivation. The sword is sacrificed only when it encounters a special exercise, or when it is necessary. When they fought against people, they usually carried swords. When the northern faction laughed at the southern faction as an evil sect, the northern faction said that the southern faction was pedantic. The two factions of the north and the south have always been at odds with each other, and they both want to respect themselves, but for thousands of years, they have their own merits, and no one is convinced of the other.

In fact, the so-called registered disciples are all mediocre qualifications, and Shushan will hold such a competition every other year. They believe that the long hours of work of the named disciples can exercise their will, and from this they can also judge whether they have a heart for the Tao. Although it is only three stages of cultivating the true method, from Qi cultivation to knotting Dan, it is simply a joke to ask these registered disciples with mediocre qualifications to reach such a height. But Shushan is such a big sect, and there is redundancy of chores, so it naturally needs people to do it.

Looking at the boring competition on the stage, the two elders quickly lost interest, but in their opinion, they were all unpopular competitions. The people on the stage came up and down, down and up, but every round of the competition seemed to be exactly the same. However, the cheers of the people in the audience were higher than one after another, and the entire back mountain was also lively for a while.

"It's all rice buckets competing, I don't know what to look at!" Li Yunfei on the stage looked disdainful and said with obvious impatience.

And the two Yellow Rank disciples on the opposite stage also complained, "Tomorrow is the competition of Yellow Order disciples, why did the master call the two of me to come today, what is there to see in the competition of these registered disciples!"

Elder Xuanqing had a serious face, but his eyes were carefully looking at the people on the field, and his deep voice sounded at the right time, "What about the registered disciples?

His words suddenly made the two disciples beside him a little embarrassed, and they were speechless for a while, so they had to shut up and stop making a sound.

This competition lasted for two days, and the previous day was basically a registered disciple competition, and the registered disciples who stood out from the competition were very likely to become official yellow-rank disciples, and of course, they could also directly challenge the yellow-level disciples after being recognized. Lu Chengfeng, as a registered disciple, wanted to challenge the Xuan-level disciple was not in the official competition, so he could only wait until the next day. And the next day, it is the competition of the Yellow Rank disciples, and many Yellow Order disciples will also come to watch, and many disciples who have placed bets before will come to watch, and the scene will be ten times more lively than this.

At this time, Lu Ping'an was extremely uneasy after hearing the news that Lu Chengfeng was seriously injured that night, although he found Shangguan Xing'er to come to the rescue, but after all, he couldn't let go.

I saw that he was about to go to the opposite mountain forest with an angry face, but the fat cow and the thin monkey who had just won a game couldn't hold it, but fortunately, it was very lively today, and they took advantage of the chaos to follow out.

Just when the three of them walked into the mountain forest and found the stone cave where Lu Chengfeng was lying before, Lu Ping'an was a little stupid on the spot, and even the two people around him felt bad. I saw that the cave was full of bloodstains that had long faded, just looking at such a large amount of bloodstains, if it was an ordinary person, it would be more than lucky.

At this time, Lu Ping'an couldn't hold back any longer, so he returned to the backyard angrily, and when he saw Li Yunfei who was triumphant on the stage, his heart was burning with anger for a while, but he saw that his eyes were staring at the stage like two sharp knives, and his face was already red between his fists.

"You dare to run to the back mountain without permission, you are really not afraid of death!"

When he saw Liu Tianci's dog-fighting appearance, Lu Ping'an was like an angry lion, grabbed his clothes, and asked viciously, "Did you kill the stuffy gourd?"

Liu Tianci looked at him with disdain, and smiled even more proudly, "That broom star, I don't know how thick the sky is, I dare to confront the elder in person." If he dies, I'll kill him too!haha......"

"You even dare to fall into the well?" Lu Ping'an was furious, and he was about to start fighting, "said...... Who the hell killed the stuffy gourd?"

People like Liu Tianci naturally don't concentrate on cultivation, so even if they have been on Shu Mountain for so long, it is naturally a joke to say that they have any cultivation. However, as a loyal follower, he naturally would not betray his master. He was afraid of being beaten, so he only said that he was seriously injured that night because Lu Chengfeng bumped into the elder, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive when he was sent to the mountains and forests, even if he was bitten by a wild beast.

Could it be that he was really rescued by Shangguan Xing'er? But with his stuffy character, if he hadn't died, he would definitely not have escaped from the battle, and even if he couldn't win the battle and wanted to escape, he wouldn't have affected others. But why hasn't he even shown up before the competition has begun?

But after getting the definite information from the eyes of the thin monkey and the fat cow, Lu Ping'an let go of that guy, before the facts are clear, the only choice now is to wait, and only hope that the stuffy gourd will appear tomorrow.

Towards the end of the competition, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the back mountain gradually returned to calm. When Li Yunfei stepped down from the stage, after glancing at Lu Ping'an and the others, he smiled disdainfully.

The registered disciple who lost the competition entered the room dejectedly, and his face was almost like a dead father. However, it is understandable that the opportunity that has been waiting for a long time has come to naught overnight, and anyone will feel hopeless, if it fails this time, it will have to wait another year next time.

When the sky gradually darkened, all the disciples left one after another.

Taking advantage of the night, Liu Tianci sneaked into Li Yunfei's house.

When he asked what to do with the money of those who bet, Li Yunfei sneered, "That guy has been crushed, that is, there is a leopard, according to the rules of the casino, do you know what to do?"

According to the rules of the casino, out of the leopard, it is naturally the dealer to kill, both sides of the bet, no matter how much, are owned by the dealer.

Hearing his words, Liu Tianci was immediately happy, and the corners of his mouth were about to grin behind his ears, "If someone is dissatisfied tomorrow and comes to make trouble, what should I do?"

"If you're not convinced, let him just look for me!"

After receiving Li Yunfei's affirmative answer, Liu Tianci retreated with satisfaction.

It's a lot of money, even if he only gets a small half, it's a lot, no wonder this guy is so excited.

In the adjacent room, Lu Ping'an was always worried, tossing and turning on the bed, the two closest relatives around him were dying, and no one could sleep.

Song Qingshan, who was lying straight on the bed, was also worried at this time, as a disciple of the Yellow Order, he was also waiting for this opportunity, and he had been stagnant in the Dan Period, and there were many disciples of the Yellow Order, it was not easy to win from them and become a disciple of the Xuan Rank, he had already lost twice in a row, but this time he could not be defeated again no matter what. As soon as he thought of this, he sat up, calmed down, and began to cultivate again. But after a while, he opened his eyes again because of restlessness, and finally shook his head helplessly.

When the two people in the room looked at each other, their hearts were already revealed.

One is worried about tomorrow's competition, and the other is worried about the comfort of his relatives, but today it seems that he is sympathetic.
