Chapter 50: Nirvana
When the three of them were still speculating about another person in the Liu family, they suddenly found that the entire square was slowly quieting down, and the patriarchs of the ten major families all walked up to the rostrum and found their own seats. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And the position of the ten people is also quite strange, there are four empty in the middle, and then the left and right sides are Zao Wou-Ki and Zhang Junhu, and the other ones are scattered on both sides in order, and what is even more strange is that the ten people did not sit down immediately, but stood quietly in their positions.
Liu Ming could see from the arrangement of this seat and the expressions of everyone that they were waiting for the arrival of more important figures.
He was also full of curiosity in his heart, what was sacred that could make the ten masters collectively wait.
Suddenly, on the huge square, thousands of people's eyes were focused on the rostrum, and some of the shorter ones were even more eager.
Glancing at the square, the ten masters on the stage exchanged glances, and then Zao Wou-Ki coughed and said slowly:
"Today is one of the most important days in our Qiantang City, the ten major families gather together, and the young talents of each family will take the stage to compete, show the demeanor of our families, and strive for the opportunity to ascend to the immortal. For a long time, our ten major families have been in the same spirit, and I hope that everyone will be friendly first when they compete. ”
Connect the branches with the same qi, and the point is up to the end.
Hearing Zao Wou-Ki talking nonsense on stage in a serious manner, thinking of what the Zhao family did in Qiantang City, some outspoken people in the audience couldn't hold it back for a long time, and almost scolded, but when they saw that the people around them just covered their stomachs and snickered, they had to swallow back their anger, and they couldn't stop scolding Zhao Wou-Ki, a duplicitous old fox, in their hearts.
Zao Wou-Ki turned a blind eye to the reaction of everyone in the audience, and he continued without blushing or beating his heart:
"In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, we are fortunate to invite Master Wu from Changchun Hall, Deacon Zhang and Deacon Qin from Zixiamen, and Elder Qian from Tianji Pavilion as witnesses to this competition, and everyone welcomes the arrival of the four seniors. ”
Then, Liu Ming saw the four of them walking out from behind the stage, and Master Wu was still dressed in white with a calm demeanor.
And Deacon Zhang is a beardless man in his forties, with a sallow complexion, his hands behind his back, and the posture of an angel.
The burly Deacon Qin walked forward slowly, nodding to the heads of the families in a friendly manner.
Only that Elder Qian, with a serious face and lowered eyebrows, made people not know what he was thinking, but the majesty that emanated from his body invisibly made everyone feel the strength of the period and did not dare to force it.
Master Wu's appearance as a witness gave Liu Ming a more direct understanding of the teacher's influence and prestige in Qiantang City, and the two deacons of Zixiamen should have come to supervise the competition, as for Elder Qian of Tianji Pavilion, Liu Ming faintly felt that it was not as simple as a witness.
Seeing Liu Ming's confused face, Liu Wei lost no time in saying:
"Master Wu is the elixir master among the four spirit masters, and his status in Qiantang City is second only to the three major families, and the deacon of Zixiamen, who is the messenger of Xianmen, determines everyone's fate, Tianji Pavilion, together with Zixiamen and Beast King Valley, is called the three major sects of Donghai Prefecture, but our Qiantang City is the sphere of influence of Zixiamen, I don't know what they are here for. ”
Amid the cheers of everyone, the four of them slowly sat down, and sure enough, Deacon Zhang and Deacon Qin from Zixiamen sat in the middle, while Master Wu and Elder Qian sat on both sides.
Seeing everyone sitting down, Zao Wou-Ki continued: "For this competition, it is still the same as before, one person from each of the ten families is a seeded player and directly enters the semi-finals, while the remaining forty people will draw lots to determine the opponent, and the twenty winners will enter the semi-finals, and then thirty people will continue to draw lots to determine the fifteen, and finally the quarterfinals, semi-finals and finals. ”
This kind of competition rule has been going on for many years, and there has been no change, and everyone on the stage nodded one after another. When Zao Wou-Ki saw this, he glanced at Deacon Zhang, and then sat down.
Deacon Zhang stood up and said, "In order to motivate you to practice hard, this time I, Zixia Gate, will reward the top three, the third place is a medium-grade spirit treasure, the second place is a Zhuji Dan, and the champion is a Nirvana Pill,"
Before the words fell, there was a burst of exclamations all around. Almost everyone was stunned, looking at Deacon Zhang with a burning face, as if they didn't believe their ears, not only the people who participated, but even the ten masters who were sitting there, their faces changed slightly, they didn't expect that this time Zixiamen would be willing to take out such resources as a reward.
Zhongpin spiritual weapons, although there are a few pieces in Qiantang, but they are all heirlooms of each family, Zhuji Dan has always been in the hands of Zixiamen, as a powerful means to control secular families, it is rare to see, and Nirvana Dan, many people have basically not heard of it, only a few people know its anti-heaven effect.
Looking at the excited expressions of everyone in the audience, a trace of disdain flashed on Deacon Zhang's face, Zixiamen casually took out a few treasures, and let these ant-like mortals fight for their heads, he leisurely gave birth to a sense of pride in his heart, and his chin unconsciously rose up again, looking up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle.
Subsequently, Zao Wou-Ki instructed several family members to take out four brocade boxes, put them in front of the four seats in the middle, and pointed to the words on the brocade boxes and said to everyone:
"There are ten numbers in each of the four brocade boxes of A, B, C, and D, and each family except for the seeded players, the other four people all come forward to draw lots, each person draws a number from the brocade box, and then stands in front of the brocade box. If you understand it, you will come up and draw lots. ”
Liu Ming in the audience nodded secretly, this kind of lottery should be the fairest, and the people of each family should be evenly dispersed to avoid the phenomenon of cannibalism of the same family in the first round. Naturally, no one did not understand this simple method, and soon, forty mermaids stepped forward and drew their own numbers.
Soon, forty people were drawn by lot, each holding their own numbers and standing in front of the brocade box, Liu Xiong and Jiang Yue'er of the Liu family were in Group A and Group B, looking around nervously, as if they were observing what their opponents were, while Liu Huan in Group C was calm and calm, and was very satisfied with their grouping.
Only Liu Hong of Group D, his face was a little unnatural, and Liu Ming guessed that it might be that there were super powerful characters in his group. He was about to carefully observe the situation of the D group, when he heard Liu Wei lamenting: "How did the third young master get into a group with that madman Ou Jianfeng!
The madman of the Ou family, Liu Ming happened to notice that there was a master in the middle stage of Qi cultivation in Group D, he pointed to the eight-foot-tall young man who was as strong as an iron tower and said, "Is this what you are talking about?"
Liu Wei nodded: "It's that Ou Jianfeng, his fists have the power of a thousand catties, and he is the most powerful figure in the young generation of Qiantang except for the four young people." However, ten people are sampled, and the third young master should not be so unlucky. After speaking, he was still nagging with his head down, as if he was praying for Liu Hong.
Subsequently, Master Wu announced the final duel, each group of one against two, three against four, nine against ten, and the ten martial arts officially began.
