Volume 1 The Great Li Kingdom Chapter 4 I Have a Different Intention
After a night of excitement, all the children of Ning Mansion were intoxicated with this joy, and they didn't remember worrying about the annual meeting every day.
This moment is destined not to stay forever, as time passes, this excitement subsides in the middle of the night, the guests say goodbye one after another, and the elders of the Ning family also drive their children, so that they can recharge their energy and prepare to show their glory at the annual meeting every day, and strive to sit on that step next year and become the leader of the younger generation.
Tomorrow is the time for those hard-working children of the Ning family to change themselves, and if they achieve a high ranking, they will be seen by the high-level, and when the time comes, in the future, his lineage will be left with a descendant name in the ancestral history.
The moon was gradually squeezed into the night sky, the languid sun was reluctantly pulled out of the east by the sky, the sky gradually dawned, and the earth was hazy, like a light veil of silver-gray. At this time, Wan Lai was afraid of silence, and suddenly a bird's cry broke the silence. After a while, a fish-belly white floated in the eastern sky, and the earth gradually brightened.
In the Ning family's martial arts training ground, when you enter the entrance, there is a circle of stepped seats, there are a total of eight steps, each step is thirty centimeters higher than the previous one, and the height of the first order is half a meter.
Directly opposite the door, the innermost is a two-meter-high platform, with six chairs placed below, the only place in the whole venue with a canopy to block the sun and rain, a huge corona erected next to the high platform, and the shadows are constantly moving in the sunlight.
In the middle, there is a circular ring with a diameter of 800 meters, half a meter above the ground, and there is a step in all four directions, which extends to the spectator platform, but in these four directions, the spectator platform is replaced by a stone slope with a width of ten meters, and a room is set up in it, where the players prepare.
In this large ring, four square areas with a side length of 100 meters are planned at each of the four corners, and at the four corners of each square area, an iron rod with a heavy iron block underground, and each iron rod is connected by jute rope in the middle.
The game will be held at the end of the day, but it was full last night, and it is impossible to find a good position now, and if you go to the back, you may not even have a place.
Under the bright sunshine, the six energetic Ning family leaders walked towards the high platform one after another.
With a bang, the height of two meters was nothing, and he stepped up in an instant, and sat on the high platform with a smile on his face.
Then, just an hour away, under the leadership of the four Ning family elders, a large group of teenagers walked into the middle of the ring from the outside.
Due to the large number of people, the four Ning elders untied the jute rope in the ring one after another.
In the ring, all the children stood neatly, with their heads held high, highlighting the vitality of young people, full of vigor and facing the high platform.
The sun was in the sky, and the rays of sunlight shone on everyone's body, which was very warm at first, but after a long time, sweat continued to drill out of everyone's body, flowing on the surface of the body, like a stream.
Except for the people on the high platform, everyone stared at the corona, hoping that the time would come sooner.
"Ladies and grandchildren of the Ning family, today, we ushered in the annual annual meeting, today, all the participating disciples can show what you have learned, in my Ning family, every year there are genius disciples who emerge, but in the end, few people can become the mainstay of the Ning Mansion."
Ning Zhan stood up and swept to the audience, no one dared to look at him.
"Why?"
For Ning Zhan's questioning, the audience was silent, and everyone did not dare to speak.
"Because, some people feel that they are very talented, and if they don't cultivate seriously, they waste the family's resources and the family's expectations of you. ”
"Some people think that they are the children of the Ning family, and they are unscrupulous outside, and finally die tragically outside. ”
"Our Ning Mansion is not the most powerful in Kaiqu County, let alone in this huge Great Li Kingdom. ”
"Kaiqu County is just a place where the Great Li Country has finished playing, you may be considered a genius in my Ning family, but in the entire Great Li Country, you may not even be ranked, what are you proud of, and why don't you work hard. ”
In the martial arts training ground of this rhetoric, the children who were ashamed buried their heads very low, and their hearts were empty.
Except for one person, Ning Hong, who was standing at the front of all the children and raised his head and chest, Ning Zhan nodded with satisfaction, and then said.
"Cultivators, guard against arrogance and rashness, neither humble nor arrogant, cherish the present, once you are old, even if your talent is good, it will be too late to cultivate. ”
Ning Zhan said earnestly, but extremely seriously.
"Well, I don't care if you think I'm verbose, but you have to keep it in mind. ”
"Yes"
At this time, up and down the Ning Mansion, they all responded loudly and solemnly, with a momentum like a rainbow, and I don't know how many people really listened.
"Well, I believe everyone understands the significance of the annual meeting, so I won't emphasize it again here. ”
"I announce, the game"
Start
Ning Zhan sat down and nodded at the Great Elder Ning Kai on the left.
Easy-going, the Great Elder stood up and said.
"This year, the children in the competition ranged from 7 to 25 years old"
As soon as the words fell, the discussion continued to sound in the audience.
"What, the age limit has been relaxed this year, wasn't it only eighteen years old before?"
"I don't know, how can we understand the decisions of the top management. ”
"Too"
......
"Silence," the Great Elder shouted, "I know that everyone is confused about this matter, and here I will explain. ”
"As everyone thinks, after a lot of analysis, the six of us felt that it was extremely unfair to those young children before. Everyone knows that cultivation is the fastest when you are young, and when you reach the best years around the age of twenty, it is the peak of cultivation, and before, we ignored this, resulting in many later geniuses not being discovered, for this, we apologize. ”
The other five people on the high platform also stood up, and all six bowed to everyone in unison to apologize.
This point, in the eyes of the Ning family, was extremely moved, but I didn't expect that the family was constantly thinking about its children.
"Rongsheng Ning family, no regrets in this life"
In the audience, a hooded disciple suddenly shouted.
"Rongsheng Ning family, no regrets in this life"
"Rongsheng Ning's family, no regrets in this life. ”
......
One sentence instantly aroused the resonance of the children of the Ning family in the audience, and made the six people on the stage smile.
However, what the crowd did not notice was that the first boy who had started shouting had long since disappeared as they shouted passionately, leaving an empty spot with only residual heat to remain.
Seeing that everyone was so passionate, the six of them all showed satisfied smiles, and Ning Zhan smiled extremely happily.
After a while, I felt that it was almost over, and the five of them sat down, and Ning Kai, the only one standing, pressed his hands down and signaled to be quiet.
"Well, the rules of this year's competition are still the same as in previous years, those children over the age of 18 and under the age of 25 can come on stage and participate in this competition. ”
"Whoa, whoa, whoa"
The footsteps kept ringing, and the people in the ring gathered more and more, and after a full hour, no one came up.
It is extremely regrettable that despite the lifting of restrictions, there are only 215 people standing in the huge ring at this moment.
"The left side of the Open Pulse Realm Station, and the right side of the Quenching Body Realm Station," the Great Elder reminded, making the two sides distinct.
If you count carefully, there are only forty people in the Pulse Realm, and there are few of them.
"First of all, there will be a competition in the quenching realm, one hundred and seventy-five people, and the draw will be divided into four groups. ”
Immediately, the four elders standing in front of them took out forty-four wooden sticks from their pockets, without the slightest handwriting on them, and finally handed them over to one of the elders named Ning Wuwei, these wooden sticks are very thin, one hundred and seventy-five can be easily held with two hands, he scrambled these identical sticks in his hand, I don't know what the meaning is.
Then one by one, the disciples stepped forward to receive it, and they all continued to study the wooden stick, and compared it with others, it was exactly the same, how the hell is this team!
There is a sentence that says yes, we don't know what it is, and we don't dare to ask.
It wasn't until the last person finished receiving it and left the last wooden skewer that a subordinate of the Ning family suddenly came to the ring with a basin of water, arched his hand at the four elders, and withdrew.
Now everyone is even more confused, what is this water for?
"Step forward and stick the sticks into the water," the Grand Elder shouted.
After everyone did so, they found that after the wooden skewers were soaked in water, two numbers appeared on them, the top ones were one, two, three, four, and the bottom ones were engraved with numbers from one to fifty.
Because fifty of each wooden skewers were prepared before, and forty-four of them were taken out of them, and the serial numbers were not necessarily coherent.
"I'm three, brother, how many are you"
"What, I'm also three, it seems that we are opponents"
"I'll tell you, you're finished, I'm here, don't think about it first"
"Bragging about you"
.......
After the draw, there was a commotion on the stage, constantly talking about what number others were.
"According to their respective numbers, number one, go to the side of clan uncle Ning Wuwei, number two, go to clan uncle Ning Wulan, number three, go to clan aunt Ning Wumin, and number four go to clan uncle Ning Ming. The Great Elder said.
In the Ning family, some of the statuses, except for the six people in Gaotai, are called uncles and aunts.
I saw that the four elders who were standing in front of me had reconnected the jute rope that had been untied before, and stood outside their respective venues.
When they were almost at the station, the Great Elder was extremely satisfied with their speed and nodded.
"As in previous years, the next four elders on the field will be the referees, and the game will be arranged by the number"
"Do you have any objections?"
This sentence is equivalent to asking in vain, who dares to have a different intention, but the process has to go down.
Seeing that everyone did not speak, it was a tacit acquiescence.
"Okay, the annual meeting is ....."
"Wait, I have a different idea"
Before the first word fell, there was a voice of opposition at the entrance, and everyone went to see which iron-headed baby it was.
