Chapter XIX Drawing of lots
I saw that on the edge of the blue water pool, the giant beast water unicorn that had been sleeping soundly suddenly woke up, turned its head viciously, its huge eyes revealed endless fierce light, the hair on its back stood up, and opened a bloody mouth, revealing two long and sharp fangs, and actually put on an attacking posture. And its target was the disciples of the Qingyun Sect standing on the steps.
This water unicorn is a flood of desolate spirit species, ancient beasts, this might, only to see the wind and clouds change, the original blue sky actually darkened in an instant, with it took the first step towards the steps, the originally calm mountain wind became a violent wind, sharp whistling, swept over the top of the sky. And in the blue water pool closest to the water unicorn, the water surface has changed, from the wave level like a mirror began to tremble, and then suddenly turned violently, the whole pool of water rotated rapidly, and a deep vortex came out around the center, and in the depths of the whirlpool, there seemed to be a rumbling sound. After a while, everyone only heard a loud noise, and a column of water rose from the depths of the whirlpool, and there were three people hugging each other, and it was condensed but not dispersed, and it spun in mid-air, and folded down in the air, as if driven by something, it fell in front of the water unicorn, like a swimming dragon, crystal clear, spinning and swimming in the air.
At this time, all the Qingyunmen people standing on the steps, including Qi Hao and others, who had cultivated the deepest, could no longer maintain their composure, and all of them changed their faces, and some even turned pale and trembled slightly.
The reason why the water qilin was able to become the right-hand man of the Qingye Patriarch to eliminate demons and subdue demons thousands of years ago, and was extremely revered by the Qingyun Sect for thousands of years, its strength was completely revealed at this moment. Among the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the water unicorn is the best spiritual object of the water system, just look at its ability to resist water out of thin air, without any borrowing force, summoning the thickness of the water column and condensing it, and even hovering in the air and swimming without the slightest effort, the strength of the spiritual power, the purity of the mind, has long been far better than the ordinary people who cultivate the truth, it is the master of the Qingyun Gate, not to say that it is purely to do it with the power of thought, that is, there are few people who can have this level by borrowing magic weapons.
At this moment, seeing that the heavens and the earth were dark, and the wind and clouds were surging, all the disciples of Qingyunmen were stunned and at a loss when they saw that the Lingzun Water Qilin suddenly had never had a thunderous anger for more than a thousand years. When it was too late, I saw that the water qilin roared in his mouth, his eyes were round, and the anger and hatred in his eyes became thicker and thicker, as if he felt something deep hatred or extreme hatred, and he wanted to fight to the death with it, and he would not die. And the thick column of water hovering in front of this giant beast swam faster and faster, and suddenly there was a loud noise, a "boom", and the huge column of water with endless momentum overwhelmingly hit the Qingyun disciples on the steps.
At this critical moment, I heard a shout in mid-air: "Lingzun is angry!"
A dark green figure, as if it appeared out of thin air, suddenly appeared in mid-air between the water qilin and the Qingyun disciples, it was the head of the Qingyun Sect, Dao Xuan Zhenren. I haven't seen him for five years, he has not changed at all, but he is frowning at the moment, obviously extremely puzzled by the sudden attack of the water qilin, but the situation is urgent, behind him is dozens of the best young disciples in the Qingyun Sect, and the water column roaring in front of him is full of waves, faintly appearing the shadows of various hideous giant beasts, obviously the fierce beast killed by the water qilin, after death, the soul is actually ingested into the body by the water qilin, and it is not allowed to dieใ
Seeing that the water column was approaching in front of him, Dao Xuan had no choice but to take a deep breath and recite in his mouth: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Hands raised, the void holding the ball, the left and right hands into the sword fingering trick, as if slow and urgent, in front of the virtual drawing of a Taiji diagram, in a moment this pattern volleyed glow, white light bursts, Rui steaming, then Dao Xuan turned around, the body of the dark green robe without wind self-drum, Huo Ran floated down from him, the Taiji diagram in the air immediately as driven, rushed to the robe, that was branded on the robe, this dark green robe seems to be also a treasure of the fairy family, by the Taiji diagram, "whew" a sound, see the wind is long, in a moment larger than ten times, horizontal in the air.
"Wow", with a loud sound, the water column of the water unicorn envoy hit the enlarged dark green robe, only to hear the roar in the water column, it seems that the souls of those demon beasts shouted angrily, under the heavy blow of the dark green robe, they immediately retreated a few feet away, and the part in the center of the robe that was hit by the water column was even more deeply bulging, and it could be seen that the force was huge.
And the young disciples of Qingyun, who were almost dumbfounded standing on the steps, only felt that a huge wind was suddenly coming, and all of them were unstable, except for a few who were deeply cultivated and barely supported, most of them actually fell left and right. Everyone couldn't help but lose everything, if there was no Dao Xuan Zhenren to block the thunderous blow of the water qilin, I really don't know what the consequences would be.
Zhang Xiaofan's face was pale, and his footing was unstable, so he fell to the side, Lin Jingyu saw it out of the corner of his eye, and just wanted to reach out to help, but his body was crooked, but he also fell to the other side, taking care of himself.
Zhang Xiaofan was shocked, and subconsciously let go of the hand he was holding the "burning stick" in his arms, desperately stretched out to find a place to support it, but he didn't notice that as soon as his hand left the burning stick, the cold feeling disappeared.
In the air, Dao Xuan Zhenren's face was solemn and solemn, and he was waiting for it, and behind him, "brush, brush, brush" a few times, and more than a dozen figures appeared, standing behind him, led by Cangsong Zhenren, and the rest were the first seat of the six veins and the elders of each vein, Tian Buyi and Su Ru were among them, all of them were strict.
The masters of Qingyunmen are all here at this moment, looking at the world, when encountering this kind of formation, anyone is afraid of seven points first, but this water qilin is under the eyes of the first elders of the head of the Qingyun Gate, there is no fear of sรจ, but under the gaze of everyone, the eyes of the water qilin that were originally burning with anger suddenly calmed down, revealing a strange god, as if he was puzzled, and the huge water column in front of him also slowly shrank, and finally lost control and fell to the ground, "bang", and the ground was wet.
At this time, the water qilin was completely silent, but its huge body stood in place, still quite terrifying, and I saw that it ignored the elders in mid-air, its eyes only stared at the young disciples on the steps, its eyes swept around, and sniffed in the air with its nose, and it didn't seem to smell anything. After a while, after repeating this strange behavior many times, the water unicorn seemed to finally give up, shook its huge head, turned around, staggered to another clearing, lay down, leaned its head on its lap, squinted its eyes, and after a while, there was another snoring.
Everyone in Qingyunmen looked at each other and was dumbfounded.
Cangsong Daoren came back to his senses as quickly as possible, quietly moved to the side of Daoxuan Zhenren, and said in a low voice: "Senior brother in charge, it is not appropriate to let the disciples stay here longer. โ
Dao Xuan came to his senses, glanced at Cang Song, nodded, and said, "You take your disciples up first, and I'll go see what's going on with Lingzun?" After speaking, his body folded, and he flew towards the water qilin.
Cang Song turned around and said loudly: "Just now Lingzun made a joke on everyone, you don't have to be nervous, now all the disciples who participate in the martial arts test should go to the Yuqing Hall in turn." โ
The disciples responded in unison, restored order, and walked upward. But in my heart, seeing the thrilling blow of the water unicorn just now, I'm afraid that few people will believe that it was a joke.
โปโปโป
Following behind everyone, Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu walked into the majestic and spacious Yuqing Palace. Standing in this hall, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt that the memories of the past five years were turned over one by one.
"Feathers. Zhang Xiaofan suddenly whispered.
"What?" Lin Jingyu looked at Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan said in a low voice: "I suddenly remembered one thing, have you seen Second Uncle Wang in the past few years?"
Lin Jingyu's face suddenly dimmed, and then he shook his head and said, "No, today is also the first time I have returned to Tongtian Peak." Three years ago, I asked Senior Brother Qi Hao about the situation of Second Uncle Wang, and I heard him say that he was still like crazy, running around on Tongtian Peak, but with Nagato's senior brother taking care of him, there should be no problem. โ
Zhang Xiaofan was silent for a while, and said, "When this competition is over, I want to go and see him, will you go?"
Lin Jingyu nodded and said, "Okay, I want to see him too." โ
At this time, above the main hall, suddenly a green shadow flashed, but it was Dao Xuan Zhenren who flashed in from outside, and the eyes of the elders of Qingyun Sect fell on him, and Cangsong Daoren walked forward and asked: "Senior brother in charge, Lingzun ......"
Dao Xuan raised his hand to stop and glanced at him, Cangsong Daoren immediately understood and stopped talking. Immediately, Dao Xuan Zhenren turned around casually, and said to the dozens of young disciples of Qingyun Sect standing on the main hall with Yan Yue scere: "Everyone is here, okay, okay." โ
All the disciples bowed down together and said, "I've seen the real person in charge." โ
Dao Xuan Zhenren smiled slightly, walked back to his seat, and glanced at Cangsong Daoren, who immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "Everyone, you are all the leaders of the young generation of Qingyunmen, my Qingyun lineage has been more than 2,000 years since the establishment of the sect, and I am really a Taoist orthodox and righteous leader. But the ancients had a saying: industry is prosperous in diligence, and absurdity is in play. There are clouds again: sail against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. I sent the ancestors of the Liedai for the sake of the descendants of the jวng precepts, and brought along the young disciples to pass on the grand event of the Seven Veins Huiwu, and it has been a full 20 sessions now. โ
"Ah", there was an exclamation among the disciples of Qingyun Sect, twenty sessions, calculated at one time, it was 1,200 years long.
Cangsong Daoren looked at everyone's reactions with satisfaction, and said: "Up to now, under the leadership of Senior Brother Daoxuan, my Qingyun Sect has prospered, far better than in the previous life, and there are countless outstanding people in the younger generation. Therefore, after the senior brother in charge of the sect discussed with the first seat of each vein, the number of people in the big test was increased to 64, so as not to regret the loss of pearls in the sea. โ
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but look at Tian Buyi, only to see Tian Buyi sitting under Daoxuan Zhenren, his face expressionless, but there was a lot of impatience in his eyes, after all, the matter of increasing the number of contestants was said to have been discussed with the first seat of each vein, but in fact, it was not Daoxuan Zhenren and Cangsong Zhenren who had the final say.
I only heard Cangsong Daoren continue: "In this big test, the number of people has doubled, so there are some changes in the lottery. Ladies and gentlemen, please see," he said, and he said that he was also robbing the osmium and throwing the stinging of
"In that mahogany box, there are a total of sixty-three wax pills, each of which contains a note, on which are written numbers from one to sixty-three," the disciples suddenly made a commotion, and Cangsong Daoist ignored it, and said: "After the lottery is completed, the number will be used as the standard, and so on, with one against sixty-four, two against sixty-three, three against sixty-two, and so on, and then in the second round, the winner of number one and sixty-four will be the winner of number two and sixty-three, and so on, until the final battle." Do you understand?"
The disciples of Qingyun Sect standing at the bottom of the hall were silent for a while, and suddenly someone said loudly: "May I ask Senior Uncle Cangsong, there are obviously sixty-four people, but how come there are only sixty-three wax pills?"
Cangsong Daoren seemed to have been prepared for this question, coughed dryly, and said: "The rules of this competition are that there are nine people in each of the seven veins of Qingyunmen, of which Changmen has one more person, but, cough cough, because there is only one line of the same sect that has sent a total of eight disciples, so there is one less, so there are only sixty-three people." โ
For a while, everyone's eyes fell on the face of Tian Buyi, the first seat of Dazhu Peak, and Tian Buyi had a burst of anger on his face, but he sat upright and did not move at all. The Qingyunmen disciples below were in an uproar, and there was a lot of discussion.
After everyone's voices calmed down a little, Cangsong Zhencai said: "But this is not a difficult matter, among the sixty-three wax pills, as long as any disciple wins the number one, it will be extremely lucky, because there is no number sixty-four opponent, so he has a bye in the first round." โ
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar among the disciples of Qingyunmen, but after all, Qingyunmen is a famous sect and has a very strict family education, although this method seems to be quite funny, but no one objected.
Dao Xuan Zhenren stood up and looked around, his head of the family, was silent. Dao Xuan Zhenren nodded and said, "In that case, let's go and draw lots." โ
Above the main hall, everyone's eyes then fell on the mahogany box, first of all, it was the nine disciples who walked out of the Nagato First Line, walked to the box in turn, and each took out a wax pill, and then the disciples of the Dragon Head Peak First Line.
Lin Jingyu said hello to Zhang Xiaofan and walked out, Zhang Xiaofan looked at his back twice, and then looked at the seven leaders and the elders sitting on the top seat. Among these people, from Dao Xuan Zhenren down, Cangsong Dao people, Tianyun Dao people, Shang Zhengliang, Zeng Shuchang and other veins he had seen five years ago, only a female Dao Gu sitting on the last chair on the right had never met, but looking at it like this, most of them were the famous Xiaozhu Peak's first Water Moon Master.
Zhang Xiaofan often heard the senior brothers mention this uncle, and heard that Xiaozhufeng is the only one in the Qingyun Gate that only accepts female apprentices, and Master Shuiyue himself is also very profound, and he is very famous in the Qingyun Gate. And the disciples of Xiaozhufeng have also appeared from time to time in the previous Seven Veins Huiwu Examinations.
Zhang Xiaofan glanced at the Shuiyue master a few more times, and saw that her appearance was about thirty or so, which was similar to that of Su Ru, the master mother, with a goose egg face, thin eyebrows and a moist nose, a pair of apricot eyes, and a moon-white robe, which looked like a graceful demeanor. And behind her, there was no elder standing, but a female disciple, dressed in white like snow, extremely beautiful, carrying a long sword behind her back, the scabbard hilt was sky blue, sรจ Ze was bright, faintly flowing, at a glance, it was a treasure of the fairy family.
He was looking at him in a trance, and the young woman suddenly turned her head as if she felt his gaze, her eyes were like electricity, and she stared at Zhang Xiaofan coldly. Zhang Xiaofan's heart was shocked, as if he had been shocked, and his eyes seemed to be stinged. He was startled, his face was slightly red, but when he saw that the woman's face was expressionless, but there was a faint contempt in her eyes, he hurriedly lowered his head. At this embarrassing moment, someone next to him suddenly reached out and pulled him, only to hear Tian Ling'er's voice say: "Xiaofan, what are you in a daze, it's time for us to draw lots." โ
Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." As he spoke, he didn't dare to glance at Master Shuiyue again, turned around and followed Tian Ling'er towards the mahogany box. At this time, there were only two veins left in the main hall, Dazhufeng and Xiaozhufeng, and the people of Dazhufeng led by Song Daren walked to the box in turn, pulled out the wax pill, and then walked back to the hall. After that, when everyone was checking what number they had drawn, Xiao Zhufeng walked out of the vein, and eight female disciples Wen Min were also among them, and the woman in white standing behind Master Shuiyue bowed her head to Master Shuiyue and said, Master Shuiyue nodded and said, "You can go too." โ
The woman in white answered, walked to the women of Xiaozhufeng, smiled with Wen Min, walked to the mahogany box together, and pulled out the last nine wax pills.
At this moment, above the main hall, all the disciples checked the wax pills one after another, and the elders of the various veins sitting at the top couldn't help but get nervous, their eyes were staring at the disciples of the main lineage, hoping that the disciples would draw a good lot, if they drew the note that said "one", it would naturally be the best.
As if in response to the mood of the teachers, the young disciples of Qingyunmen under the hall made their voices one by one:
"Ah, I'm twenty-six. โ
"I'm thirty-three, huh, how many are you?"
"Oh, I'm forty-seven, I don't know what the opponent is, I'll do the math......"
......
I just watched the disciples talk for a long time, but no one said that they had drawn the precious No. 1 note.
Cangsong Daoren frowned, coughed twice, and said loudly: "Who drew the No. 1 lot?"
His voice was loud, and he suppressed all the voices for a while, and there was silence in the hall, and for a long time, in the crowd, there was suddenly a small voice, with a hint of surprise and caution, as if even he himself did not believe it, and said: "Hui, Hui, Uncle Cangsong, here, here." โ
Everyone went and was stunned, only to see Zhang Xiaofan standing in the crowd, holding a note in his hand, standing still, but his eyes were aimed at Tian Buyi, and he was timid.
