Chapter 488: Opening Ceremony
Seeing that Zhiyun turned his head and stopped caring about himself, Nangong Qing came to Shanhe's side and said in a low voice:
"Senior brother, I really couldn't leave last night, and I was dragged by the senior brother to train until the early hours of the morning, alas, I couldn't meet you. You're alone, you must be busy, aren't you?"
Hearing that the junior sister was dragged to training by the senior brother and was unable to attend, Shanhe nodded in understanding and replied in a low voice:
"It's okay! I've done it all by myself, and I'll just go and deal with it after the opening ceremony is over." But you can't be absent today, it's going to open later, and if you're not there, I won't be able to handle it alone. ”
Nangong Qing stuck out her tongue apologetically and said:
"Don't worry, I'll definitely go today. I really couldn't slip out last night, otherwise I wouldn't have been absent. By the way, Senior Brother, have we decided on the final recipe? I see that you have been worrying about this a lot these days, have you thought about it now?"
Hearing the junior sister ask about this, Shanhe immediately replied with full confidence:
"Hehe, this matter has been settled! Senior sister, you just wait to watch the show!"
......
After chatting with my sister for three or five minutes, there was a noise on the rostrum.
After the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Li Persimmon tried the microphone, he said to the audience: "Please be quiet, the meeting will start immediately." ”
As soon as these words came out, the auditorium, which had just been buzzing, quickly fell silent.
It didn't take long to see Nangong Chi, who was wearing a red robe today, come to the stage, salute everyone with his fists, and said loudly:
"Five years ago, the old man had the honor to announce the opening of the last sky-breaking event. Five years have flown by, and when I stand here again and see the energetic disciples in the audience, I am still very excited. For this year's sky-breaking event, the old man has two hopes: first, I hope that you can enjoy every activity of the event, and second, I hope that in the competition three days later, everyone can show their due strength and show the demeanor of my Nangong disciple!"
As soon as the words fell, more than 1,000 disciples in the audience burst into warm applause at the same time.
When the applause gradually dissipated, Nangong Chi introduced the origin and significance of the sky-breaking event to everyone present.
Since Shanhe had already learned about this at the introduction meeting organized by Luo Han before, he lowered his attention when he heard half of it, and whispered to Nangong Qing who was sitting next to him.
"Senior sister, since we have found such a large area to plant the Void Breaking Fruit Tree, we should be able to harvest a lot of Void Breaking Fruit every time, right?
Hearing Shanhe ask about this, Nangong Qing tilted her head and whispered:
"There are indeed a lot of fruit trees in the Broken Hollow Valley, although they only ripen once in five years, but they can pick a lot of fruit every time. But I've heard my father say that the demand for the Void Breaking Pill is very large, and the success rate is very low, so the number of Void Breaking Pills is still very limited. ”
"Oh, that's right. How many pieces can be refined? There are always a hundred, right?" Shanhe guessed curiously.
"A hundred?" Nangong Qing shook her head as if she had heard a joke:
"If there were so many, the competition wouldn't be so fierce!I remember the one five years ago, when I put all the fruits together, I could refine less than thirty Sky Breaking Pills. 100 pieces, you really want more!"
Now, the disciples of the Nangong Gate Mengjie and the Tun Rank are combined, there are about 900 people in total, and they all have a demand for the Sky Breaking Pill.
And every five years, the sect can only refine thirty Void Breaking Pills, which is really a big gap.
Hearing this, Shanhe gasped and finally realized the preciousness of this pill.
"It is precisely because the Sky Breaking Pill is so rare that the sect will hold a competition every five years to decide the ownership of this Dan, and no one will be given the right to seek personal gain. Even if it's my father, I can't get it!" After saying this, I heard Nangong Qing imitate her father's tone and say:
"That's why my dad used to say that the Sky Breaker may seem cruel, but it's actually the fairest way to compete. On the field, there is no identity, no background, and no division, only simple rules and teammates who fight side by side. If you want to win, you rely on the hard work and sweat you put in on weekdays. This kind of arena is for the truly strong! As long as you are capable and powerful, you will definitely be able to stand out in the competition!"
As soon as Nangong Qing said this, she heard a burst of thunderous applause suddenly sounded in the venue.
For this reason, Shanhe was stunned at first, but soon he realized that this was not Chong Nangong Qing. It should be the applause given by the disciples just after the head of the sect finished speaking.
So, after nodding approvingly to the junior sister, Shanhe stopped asking and looked at the rostrum again.
As Nangong Equator uttered a few loud words "This Sky-Breaking Festival has officially begun", a close sound of gongs and drums sounded from all around, and everyone's attention was quickly attracted by the lion dance team that jumped out in front of the rostrum.
Eight exquisite male lions were constantly jumping and tumbling in the open space in front of the rostrum, with the beating of gongs and drums.
In the past, during the New Year's festival in Qingsong City, Shanhe also saw similar lion dance performances, but the lion dance scene in Nangongmen was much more wonderful than those under the mountain.
Each lion on the stage is three or four meters high, and in addition to simply raising their heads and blinking, they can also make many unexpected movements in the air.
A moment of front flip, a moment of backflip, proficient in everything, such a wonderful performance is really eye-opening and jaw-dropping.
After about five or six minutes of performance, the lion dance team withdrew from the rostrum amid a wave of applause, and Elder Li Persimmon from the Internal Affairs Office came to the stage again.
Next, the old man will introduce to you the process of this grand event: the first item, the award ceremony for outstanding disciples, will be held this morning, the second item, the auction of treasures, will be held in this hall tomorrow morning, and the third competition will officially start in three days, that is, in the early morning of the fourth day, and end at noon on the fifth day. Speaking of this, I saw Elder Li pause for a moment, turn the pages of the manuscript paper in his hand and continue to speak:
In addition, the food court and craft show will officially open for three days from today. Elder art performances are held in the auditorium every morning and end at noon, while food court events are open to the public every afternoon until late at night. After reading the process of this grand meeting, Elder Li put down the paper in his hand, smiled at the audience and said:
"The above is the content of this conference, interested disciples should not miss it. Next, let's move on to the first theme of the conference, the award ceremony for outstanding disciples! Now, I would like to invite the head of Nangong and Deputy Head Yuan to come to the stage to read out the list of winners for everyone!"
