About a quarter of an hour later, suddenly a group of shirtless strong men carrying nine-sided drums walked out of the Yong Dojo on both sides of the Gaoting staircase, lined up in front of the stairs, and banged. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Accompanied by drum music, two columns of people in uniform appeared in the corridor, holding scrolls in their hands, and walked to the audience.

Ye Tian didn't understand what he meant, and watched quietly.

I saw these people step up to the first row of the auditorium, standing at the same distance from each other, exactly around the entire venue. Then the drumming stopped, and they leaned over the railing, hung the scroll in their hand on the wall, untied the knot, and the scroll "whirred" to unfold.

When he saw the contents of the scroll, Ye Tian finally understood.

These scrolls were all canvas scrolls, one zhang long and five feet wide, no more and no less, a full seventy-two. Except for fifteen paintings with star names written only at the top, the remaining fifty-seven scrolls also have lifelike full-body portraits under the top star names, as well as corresponding names written vertically.

Although the lines of those portraits are simple, they use watercolor to add a bit of clothing and skin color, so that the people in the paintings have distinct styles and are extremely expressive, and from a distance, it seems as if there is really a living person standing there. And the font is also a majestic gesture, vigorous and powerful, heroic and unrestrained, like arrogant, and faintly with an elegant and elegant state of ethereal dust, but I don't feel disobedient.

I didn't expect that Wu Meng would build momentum for the Heaven and Earth List in this way.

In this era, there is no propaganda in television, the Internet and other media, but in this way, it is also a bit similar. At least in Ye Tian's opinion, it is enough to deepen people's impression of the martial arts conference and the martial artists of the heaven and earth list.

Su Linglong sighed: "Gu Qingchen was once known as a madman, and you can see one or two from this word. ”

Ye Tian was stunned and asked, "These are all from Gu Qingchen's hands?"

"Not only that, after Gu Qingchen became the leader of the Martial Alliance, the portraits of all the martial artists of the Heaven and Earth List were painted by him. Before him, the portraits of each session were also painted by the Danqing family of the Spring and Autumn Academy. ”

The Spring and Autumn Academy is based on Confucianism, and in addition to studying Confucian classics and historical classics, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting will naturally not be left behind. The skills of everyone in it are not even inferior to the national players in front of them.

Gu Qingchen can become the head of the Spring and Autumn Academy, not just because he cultivates as the first person below the rank of grandmaster. Therefore, his calligraphy and painting attainments are extraordinary and unique, and there is nothing surprising. But to personally make a full-body portrait of the martial artist of the Heaven and Earth Rank, not one or two, not once or twice, then it has to be surprising.

Ye Tian didn't know what to say for a while, so he smacked his lips and said, "He is painting so fast!"

The martial artists of the Heaven and Earth List are distributed all over the place, and Gu Qingchen has no reason to ask everyone to gather in advance for the matter of painting. And the martial arts conference is held once every three years, and in three years, everyone's appearance and temperament will also change somewhat, and it is unlikely that they will all be used three years ago, so there is only temporary painting. But as the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, can he be so free during the martial arts conference?

"That's what you say. Su Linglong saw that Ye Tian was thinking about it, and Gu Liuli, Chen Jingqiu, and Ye Siyu were also puzzled, giggled, and explained: "Gu Qingchen Danqing has superb attainments, and it is easy to imagine the changes in the appearance of each person of all ages compared to the previous portrait, and then re-paint. In this way, the number of temporary paintings that need to be painted during the martial arts conference will not be too much. ”

"When the martial arts conference is over, the martial arts league will summon the updated list of martial artists. At that time, there will be artists who will record the dress characteristics of the new list, and Gu Qingchen only needs to draw a simple appearance first. ”

Ye Tian didn't know how difficult this painting method was, anyway, Su Linglong said so, and he listened to it.

At this time, the three-rank martial artist on the high pavilion walked out again, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "The update of the star position of the earth list has been completed, and the final vacant fifteen seats are ......"

"Earth Kui Star, Earth Evil Star, Earth Ying Star, Earth Wen Star, Earth Evil Star, Earth Ugly Star...... Ground Dog Star. ”

The audience was silent, and after a few breaths, there was another burst of shock.

Fang Cai only cared about admiring the picture scroll, and forgot to pay attention to the vacant star positions. Ye Tian hurriedly raised his head to find it.

He hadn't deliberately memorized the names of the stars before, so of course he couldn't remember them, let alone their respective orders. However, individual star names have only been mentioned for a long time.

Dikui Star and Disha Star ranked first and second respectively, Diying Star was eighth, and Diwen Star was originally based on Chu Xiangyuan and was tenth. There are four vacancies in the top 10 of this list, and no one wants to fill them?

"What is the order of the other eleven seats?"

Su Linglong frowned and said, "The last eleven seats." ”

"I see. Ye Tian responded, and then said to himself: "The first two seats can still understand, what is going on with the eighth and tenth?"

Needless to say, the top star knows that it will attract the most attention, and the challenge will be the greatest, and it is normal that no one wants to fill in the position. With this in mind, the second planet is in a similar situation.

As for the eighth Diwen Star, it is actually very easy to guess.

The top 10 of the early editions of the list has always been a men's gladiatorial arena. It wasn't until six years ago that Luo Huanting, who was twenty-two years old in Canglan Palace, was born as a four-rank martial artist and occupied Diyingxing in one fell swoop, changing the pattern that had been maintained for nearly 20 years. This incident has shown from the side that she is the head of this generation of young female martial artists, and on the other hand, six years have passed, Di Yingxing has been faintly regarded as the most important star position by female young martial artists, and it is the "Dikui Star" in their minds. In view of this, it is inevitable that no one, male or female, will be the first to fill in the position to attract hostility.

And the tenth Wenxing, its previous owner, Chu Xiangyuan, although he failed to rank among the third grades before he was established, but it was because he practiced martial arts late, not because his talent was inferior to Jiang Yuntu, Shen You, Luo Huanting, and Wu Yan.

In addition, he studied under the Spring and Autumn Academy, both civil and military, handsome and dignified, known as "Confucian" in the rivers and lakes, and his reputation is not lost compared to the top five earth stars, and the earth stars are given a special meaning like "scholar scribes" by him...... For various reasons, it is not difficult to predict that the disciples of the Spring and Autumn Academy, the head of the top ten sects, should compete for this star position, so it has created a situation where no one wants to be the first bird.

Several people analyzed the truth to the point that Ye Tian thought for a while and said, "If I am the reigning earth star, I will definitely accept it." ”

Gu Liuli and Su Linglong knew that Ye Tian said this, and they should have their own reasons, so they didn't speak and waited for the following.

"Filling in the position is not considered to exercise the right to challenge, I am based on the top star, and it is one thing to induce others to exercise the right to challenge, mainly if I directly admit defeat, I can not only reduce my requirements for a battle, but also do not need to worry about state consumption. If the first person to challenge me is also a reigning earth star, then according to the rules, if I lose, I will swap stars with the other party, and I don't need to retire from the earth list, not to mention, I can turn passive into active, wouldn't it be more than one stone?"

Su Linglong shook her head and said, "That's right, they don't dare to joke about their reputation." ”

"It's not about reputation, it's tactical. ”

"I'm afraid that with the arrogance of the reigning earth star, they won't think so. ”

"It's too dead-eyed. ”

"There's no point in talking about that. Gu Liuli said: "What should we do in this situation?"

The five people who participated in the battle for the land list in Chang'an were all able to qualify, which was inseparable from Ye Tian's resourcefulness and good decision. Now Ye Tian thought of a fill-in strategy that was more in line with the interests of the incumbent Earth Star, which also proved that his intelligence was outstanding.

In fact, since the establishment of the Chang'an Society, many things have been able to have relatively ideal results, all of which are inseparable from Ye Tian's planning.

Therefore, at this time, Gu Liuli, who was becoming more and more dependent on Ye Tian, was also looking forward to Ye Tian's countermeasures.

Ye Tian looked in the direction of the surrounding qualifiers, pursed his lips, and said, "Give me some time to think about it." ”

On the side of the high pavilion, the third-grade martial artist raised his hand and pressed down, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Then I saw him straighten his waist and said solemnly: "I announce that the battle for the land list has officially begun!"
