Chapter 116: Reduction in personnel
Fan Xiaodong stood up, roughly tidied up, and waved his hand at the Five Elements Array, and automatically opened a mouth, Fan Xiaodong's body flashed, and when he reappeared, he was outside the cave, and the Five Elements Array behind him automatically healed and turned into a complete magic circle again.
Immediately, Fan Xiaodong pointed at the flying sword, and the letter on it automatically arrived in Fan Xiaodong's hand, and after a general browsing, Fan Xiaodong found that it was not much different from what he had guessed, and after sending the flying sword back, Fan Xiaodong took out his inferior magic weapon, the Qingguang Sword, recited its incantation, and then flew with the sword, turning into a ray of light and disappearing
In front of the hall of the Zodiac Gate is a huge square, within a radius of one mile are in the square, because within the monastic road, that is not the ears and eyes, these distances can still clearly see everything on the square, the ground of the square is paved with red bricks, from a distance it looks like a layer of flower carpet.
In the middle of the square, it is circular, and the stone tables and stone benches are "hidden" on both sides of the square as if shy, which should be the auditorium, and in front of the meeting hall, there is a judge's platform supported by one hundred and eight stone pillars, about five meters high, on which are placed eleven chairs made of pure gold, and in front of which there is a table carved from rare ice and jade. A shed has also been erected on the seats, and it is now the season of May and June, which should be the role of shade, so that the elders and judges can watch the competition carefully.
As soon as Fan Xiaodong and Huang Tianlong approached the square, they saw the endless flow of people coming in and out, you squeeze me, I squeeze yours, at this time, the stone benches around were already full of people, Fan Xiaodong and the two of them looked for a long time and did not find a place to rest, there was no way, the two of them found a place where there was no stone bench and could only stand before stopping.
But even in such a place, when he arrived at the most, it was crowded, and he didn't expect that a small zodiac gate would have so many disciples.
Huang Tianlong turned his head just to see Fan Xiaodong's shocked expression, and said with a wry smile: "There are not only outer disciples, inner disciples, but also miscellaneous disciples, the head of the sect once said that as long as there are no disciples who do not have a task in their bodies, they can come here to observe the big competition, and they can also increase some combat experience, of course, this does not include the true disciples, because they are already masters of foundation building, and there is no need to watch the battle of the qi cultivation disciples." ”
Hearing Huang Tianlong's words, Fan Xiaodong's divine sense was revealed, and he immediately found that there were indeed many disciples who practiced qi below the third layer, but among them, he also found many disciples who couldn't see through cultivation, and one person felt Fan Xiaodong's divine sense, and immediately looked back, which shocked Fan Xiaodong's heart and immediately withdrew his divine sense.
Cultivators are most afraid of their divine sense to check the other party, unless their own cultivation is far higher than that of the other party, so that the other party can't sense it, just like just now, once Fan Xiaodong retracts his divine sense, he is likely to be hated by the other party.
A person who cultivates the truth, as long as the other party's cultivation is not two levels higher than his own, then he can find out the other party's cultivation, and once he exceeds this limit, he will not be able to know the Dao. But legend has it that there is a secret method that can prevent the other party from investigating cultivation.
After waiting for a while, Fan Xiaodong stabilized his mind before he raised his head and cautiously looked at the person who found him just now, but the person seemed to sense Fan Xiaodong's gaze, turned around suddenly, and just looked at Fan Xiaodong, Fan Xiaodong hurriedly turned around, but at that moment, he felt that there was a roar in his head, which was the cold chill and killing intent of the person.
"What's wrong, Xiaodong?" Huang Tianlong, who noticed that something was wrong, immediately asked.
"It's fine. Fan Xiaodong shook his head a few times, waved his hand and said. But in his heart, he already held a grudge against that person, they were all senior brothers in the same school, so why bother to do this
"Boom!"
A gong sounded, and the earth shook the sky, indicating the official start of Dabi, which woke up the people who were still sitting and resting, and let everyone's fiery eyes look at the stage in unison.
A white-haired old man with a red face and Dao Feng fairy bones, wearing a red Dao robe, his eyes swept over everyone, his hands pressed, and suddenly the whole venue was silent, quietly waiting for his words. The old man also nodded with satisfaction with this effect. Then he turned to look at the rostrum, and on the rostrum at this time, all the judges, including the head Tao Yi, were sitting upright.
Seeing Tao Yi nodding his head, the old man turned around again and said: "I, Xie Jian, am the referee of this competition, if there is any unfairness, I hope you will raise it." No more nonsense, everyone knows that every big competition is related to the trial of the blessed land, and this time is no exception, but there are small changes in the rules. Speaking of this, Xie Jian stopped and looked around, he wanted to give everyone time to digest.
"What, the rules haven't changed for hundreds of years, and today they have changed, I heard you right!"
"Yes, I heard that, too. ”
At this point, the people who were talking about each other began to talk one after another, and the whole square was a little noisy, and even Fan Xiaodong frowned
"Hmph!" A cold snort came out, and everyone suddenly felt that the breath in their bodies was condensed, and they were a little uncomfortable, and their faces were a little pale, and they all shut up.
"Look at how you behave, what kind of system you have become. Seeing that the head was angry, Xie Jianma shouted loudly.
Seeing that he immediately quieted down, Xie Jian said again: "This time, there are twenty miscellaneous disciples, ten more than before, this is your luck." After saying this, everyone's atmosphere also changed from depressed to excited, which was a good thing for the miscellaneous disciples.
"The outer disciples are the same as before, there are still twenty, but the inner disciples..." Xie Jian's words immediately raised the hearts of many inner disciples, and they all pricked up their ears, for fear of hearing something wrong or missing something, and looked at Xie Jian on the stage with a nervous face.
"Due to various reasons, the number of inner disciples this time has been cancelled from the previous thirty to the current ten. Xie Jian finally finished speaking.
"It's impossible, why is it so much less?" all the inner disciples had their eyes wide open, and their expressions were in disbelief.
The reduction of the number of places means that the competition is fierce, and it is required that the top ten must be possible to enter the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and at the same time, the eyes of the inner disciples looking at the people around them have also changed, indicating that the friends around them are likely to become competitors.
"Okay, now I'm going to talk about the rewards and rules of this big competition, everyone has listened carefully. Xie Jian's voice sounded again, and the voices of everyone who were talking disappeared again, because this is the top priority of this competition, and it is also a topic that everyone cares about.
