166 Draw of lots (II)
After the speeches of the eight contestants on the stage, the draw was officially carried out.
The leader of the Taoist Alliance, the Heavenly Master sent the contemporary Heavenly Master Zhang Ruoxu Shi Ran to the stage, after nodding slightly to the eight players, Zhang Ruoxu pinched it out of thin air, and a yellow talisman appeared in Zhang Ruoxu's hand, and the names of the eight contestants were written on the talisman on it.
Zhang Ruoxu held the talisman in both hands and prayed sincerely to the heavens and the earth: Huanghuang sky, the vast earth, the saints of the three Qings, bless me Taoism, urgent as the law!
After the players enter the quarterfinals, their opponents are randomly drawn, so it is up to God to decide.
Zhang Ruoxu finished praying, the talisman suddenly turned into a green smoke, rising into the air, when the green smoke disappeared, there was a loud noise in the sky, the five-color light suddenly made a big scene, in the five-color light, the names of the eight players were paired in pairs, and the golden light appeared in the void.
Li Yi raised his eyes and saw that the Heavenly Master sent Zhang Chengfeng and Lingbao sent Duan Yuan in a group, Maoshan sent Mao Heng and Huashan sent Yue Lingfeng in a group, Wudang sent Gu Zitian and Donghai sent Ding Haishan in a group, and his opponent, and his opponent was Zhao Cunzhen of the Quanzhen faction.
Okay! Zhao Cunzhen's crow mouth, as he wished, Li Yi's heart was full of fighting intent!
..................
It was night, Longhu Mountain seemed extraordinarily quiet and quiet, even if there was moonlight like water, there was still no one on Longhu Mountain Square, it seemed so empty and lonely.
Everyone is seriously preparing for the semi-finals of the Taoist competition to be held tomorrow, and the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, which is the last quiet night before the hustle and bustle of tomorrow.
Heavenly Master's Mansion.
Contemporary Heavenly Master Zhang Ruoxu and his younger brother Heavenly Master Deacon Zhang Ruofeng sat opposite each other in front of a simple small table, the furnishings on the table were very simple, one person was a cup of tea, and the young Heavenly Master Zhang Chengfeng stood aside.
The faces of all three were a little heavy.
Now that the Quanzhen faction is menacing, Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by, and the bias is like today's division faction is in decline, and it is difficult to resist the all-out attack of the Quanzhen faction. For the three of them, the Heavenly Master is both a master and a family, and in this form, is it strange that the three of them can be in a good mood?
When the first generation of ancestor Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling was dying and ascending, he summoned his son Zhang Heng and a group of disciples to come and pass on the position of Heavenly Master to his son Zhang Heng, and said: "The position of Shaowu is not passed on to the children and grandchildren of my family. "In other words, the position of Heavenly Master must be inherited by the Zhang clan.
It is precisely because of the last words of Zhang Daoling that the lineage of the Heavenly Master can be completely preserved and passed down from generation to generation, and the lineage of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain is also famous in the Xiuzhen world, and the inheritance of Confucius, the ancestor of Confucianism in Qufu, is called "South Zhang and North Confucius".
"Chengfeng, you have also observed Zhao Cunzhen's competition in the past few days, what do you think?" Zhang Ruoxu took a sip of tea and asked Zhang Chengfeng beside him.
"Father, that Luofu disciple Ge Bai is also in the entrance realm, and the disciple is probably ...... I'm afraid I can't defeat the enemy with one move. There was a bit of Hao Ran in Zhang Chengfeng's tone.
Zhang Chengfeng couldn't defeat the enemy with one move, but in yesterday's game, Zhao Cunzhen defeated Gober with one move.
"Alas......" Zhang Ruoxu sighed, in fact, with Zhang Ruoxu's eyesight, how could he not see that Zhang Chengfeng was not Zhao Cunzhen's opponent? After all, Zhang Chengfeng had only broken through the threshold of life and death not long ago, and his realm had not yet stabilized.
The Quanzhen faction kills the demon and takes the pill, turns it into its own, and cultivates and makes rapid progress in front of the entrance, but the demon pills are varied, and the aura within the demon pill is also different, and the way of the inner pill of the Quanzhen faction When it comes to breaking through the entrance of life and death, the cultivators need to spend a lot of time and energy to purify and refine the "demon qi" of those inner pills, so there are very few cultivators of the younger generation of the Quanzhen sect who break through the entrance of life and death, and the great reputation of the Quanzhen faction in the cultivation world is maintained by the number of cultivators in the realm of the entrance.
However, every few decades of the Quanzhen Sect, there is such a highly qualified person, last time it was Dao Xuan, this time it was Zhao Cunzhen, it was this master and apprentice who forced the Heavenly Master Sect to retreat step by step.
Zhang Ruoxu almost dared to be sure in his heart that if Zhao Cunzhen could win the final championship in this Taoist competition, that would be the time when Dao Xuan challenged him.
Zhang Ruoxu turned his head and said, "Ruofeng, in your opinion, can Li Yi of the Yunshan Sect stop Zhao Cunzhen?"
Zhang Ruofeng thought about the deep image left by the little Taoist priest in the green shirt when he met Li Yi in the past, and Li Yi's performance these days, Li Yi's actions were always beyond everyone's expectations.
"Maybe! According to my brother's opinion, it should be the end of the five-five opening, and it depends on who plays better in the battle!" Zhang Ruofeng also sighed: "If we waited for the Heavenly Master Sect to speak out in the past, the Yunshan Sect might not have declined like this, and our Heavenly Master Sect would not have ended up in such a situation." ”
Zhang Ruoxu was silent, in the past, the Yunshan faction and the Quanzhen faction did not deal with each other very much, and with the involvement of the Yunshan faction, where did the Quanzhen faction still have the energy to launch an attack on the position of the leader of the Taoist alliance? It was precisely because after the decline of the Yunshan faction that the Qingcheng faction lived far away in Shu and did not achieve much success, so that the Quanzhen faction finally freed up its hands.
However, the events of the past years were the decisions made by the previous generation of Heavenly Masters, that is, the fathers of the two, the son did not say anything about the father, and the two could only be silent, only with a long sigh in their hearts: Father, if you see today's scene, I am afraid you will not let the Quanzhen Sect frame the Yunshan Sect.

Longhu Mountain Wudang Faction Courtyard, the hall of the women's Yingyue Shitai's room.
Several female disciples gathered in the Yingyue Master's room, discussing today's lottery results and tomorrow's competition, Gu Zitian's signing position is good, the opponent is Ding Haishan of the East China Sea faction, although Ding Haishan performed well in the written test a few days ago, and is the biggest dark horse in this Taoist competition, but when he met Gu Zitian, few people are optimistic that he can continue to be black.
In yesterday's competition between Li Yi and Qingxu, Ding Haishan himself said that he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat Qingxu, who had not broken through the threshold of life and death, not to mention Gu Zitian, who was much higher than Qingxu?
In addition, Zhang Chengfeng of the Heavenly Master Sect and Mao Heng of the Maoshan Sect did not seem to have any suspense in the two competitions, so the focus of everyone's discussion was Li Yi and Zhao Cunzhen.
"In my opinion, it is still Li Yi of the Yunshan faction who wins best, and I am not happy with the words that Zhao Cunzhen said on stage today, as if Senior Sister Gu has something to do with him, and as if Senior Sister Gu is not his opponent at all. The little junior sister Lin Xueyi was straightforward, pursed her lips and said: "Li Yi of the Yunshan faction is different, he won the game yesterday, and he didn't see him say anything big, but he also pointed out Senior Brother Qingxu. Senior Sister Gu, did you say?"
Lin Xueyi's words represent everyone's thoughts, at this moment, everyone thinks that it is better for Li Yi to win, firstly, as Lin Xueyi said, secondly, yesterday Li Yicai won and instructed the head disciple of the Wudang faction to clear the void, and tomorrow he will simply lose to Zhao Cunzhen, then everyone will feel that it has nothing to do with the face, and it is not cool to look at it.
"I don't see which of them has a higher level of cultivation. Seeing Lin Xueyi asking herself, Gu Zitian thought about the performance of the two people he saw in the competition, and somehow the interaction with Li Yi on and off the stage this morning came to his mind, Gu Zitian had a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and decided to tell the truth: "However, I am also like Senior Sister Lin, standing on Li Yi's side!"
There is no problem for everyone to stand on Li Yi's side, but Gu Zitian said that standing on Li Yi's side immediately made everyone interested, after all, Li Yi grabbed Gu Zitian's little hand yesterday morning, and this morning Li Yi not only saluted Gu Zitian at the same time as Gu Zitian, but also seemed to have some protection for Gu Zitian between words?
Zhao Cunzhen didn't mention it, but he didn't say directly to Gu Zitian: Senior Sister Gu, let's be a pair of immortal couples in the cultivation realm!
This one...... Hey...... As if they had discovered something, everyone looked at Gu Zitian in unison, their eyes brightened up a lot, and they wanted to hear more about Gu Zitian!
"You ...... Where did you all think of it? Gu Zitian's pretty face turned red: "I just want to...... I just want to compare the Yunmeng Sword of the Yunshan Sect with the True Martial Sword of our Wudang Sect in the cultivation realm, I want to see who is superior. ”
Oh...... So that's the case, it's rare for everyone to see Senior Sister Gu Zitian, who has always been calm and breezy, actually spoke a little at this moment, so everyone made a sudden realization together, and immediately laughed out loud one by one.
However, what Li Yi was on was not the Yunmeng Sword, but an iron sword that looked ordinary.
"Okay, don't laugh and laugh!" "Yingyue Master snorted lightly, relieved Gu Zi, and said: "Everyone wants to think about who wins and who loses between Li Yi and Zhao Cunzhen, after all, we will not know until the two of them have done a game tomorrow." ”
"Master, in your opinion, who will have a better chance of winning?"
"It's hard to say, the innate qi of the Quanzhen Sect and the Zixiao Divine Thunder of the Yunshan Sect are both well-known exercises in the cultivation realm, who wins and who loses depends on who has a higher comprehension of the master's stunt and who has a greater bearing capacity in the stalemate stage. Yingyue Shitai shook his head and said, "The success or failure of the two is not just a competition. ”
..................
"Cunzhen, the teacher has high hopes for you, but your performance this morning really disappointed the teacher. At the same time, in the courtyard of the Quanzhen Sect in Longhu Mountain, the Quanzhen Sect leader Dao Xuan Zhenren sat on the chair, looked at the disciple Zhao Cunzhen who bowed in front of him, and his face was full of hatred: "Cunzhen, my generation acts, think twice before acting, plan before acting, low-key and cautious, where is there a high-profile announcement in front of everyone before acting, exposed to the whole world?"
"Master, the disciple knows that he is wrong!" A good confession became the laughing stock of the cultivation world, and Zhao Cunzhen was also very annoyed now.
Well...... Seeing that Zhao Cunzhen sincerely admitted his mistake, Dao Xuan nodded, and then stretched out his hand to the void again, and an invisible qi suddenly isolated the two from the outside world.
"Cunzhen, there are only you and me here, and there are some things that you know as a teacher. ”
