Three quarters, Zhongzhou, Tangjiacheng.

The morning sun has just risen, everything is revived, and it is usually this time when the people have just woken up from their sweet dreams and are ready to start the day's work.

But today is different, the city is already overcrowded, as if pilgrims are pouring in the direction of the center of the city.

As for the city center at this time, it was crowded with people, and there was no room for free movement at all.

The reason why this is so is precisely because a special ceremony will be held today, which is also something that has been publicized by the Tang family for three whole years, the lottery ceremony of recruiting relatives in martial arts.

Originally, there was no such lottery ceremony for this competition, and it was only necessary to start directly, but as more and more players participated, in order to prevent chaos on the spot, such a ceremony had to be held.

Just the lottery ceremony before the competition attracted so many onlookers, it is conceivable that the impact of this competition is absolutely unprecedented.

Of course, with the increasing influence of the competition to recruit relatives, some businessmen who smell business opportunities are also taking advantage of this opportunity to do their best.

What sells the information of the players, sells lucky charms, sells magic weapons and armor, all kinds of products are coming, and the most powerful thing is the Tang family itself, who actually took the opportunity to recruit relatives for Tang Yiyao this time to let go of the bet.

For a time, commerce was extremely prosperous, and it was this prosperous scene that promoted more people to come here to watch.

On the streets, the cries of hawkers and chatters are noisy, and crowded pedestrians slowly sway towards the center of the city.

However, not all places in Tangjia City are so crowded, at least not in the central square.

In the center of the city, there is a small square.

This square, with its granite floor, is neat and gorgeous, white as a mirror.

In the center of the square, there is a high platform.

This high platform is more than one zhang high, and there is a vacant space of nearly ten zhang square on it, and rows of Taishi chairs are neatly placed on it.

Although these positions have not yet been filled, looking at the few old men in several of them, Ren Sui can guess that the one who can sit on the high platform must be the high-level of the Tang family or the top powerhouse in Zhongzhou.

"Look, the old man sitting on the edge of the high platform is Lu Jian, who is known as Lu Jian who seals his throat with a sword? I didn't expect him to come!"

"Then what is Lu Jian, didn't you see the person next to him? That's the head of the Zhang family in Zhongzhou!"

"The head of the Zhang family is nothing, the second elder of the Gu family sitting on his left is Gu Xia!"

As more and more people appeared on the high platform, almost every time someone appeared, there would be a burst of discussion in the audience.

In this way, nearly an hour passed, until the hour was approaching, and all the seats on the high platform were full except for a seat in the center, and the people around the square did not move, and a middle-aged man walked to the middle of the high platform.

This person is strong, magnificent, and his eyes are full of pride, he is not Tang Zhongzhong, the head of the Tang family, who else can he be!

walked to the front of the high platform, turned around and bowed slightly to the strong people on the high platform behind him, then turned his head to look at the countless people around the square, smiled lightly, and said loudly: "The three o'clock has arrived, and the lottery ceremony has officially begun!"

Tang Zhongzhong's voice was full of true qi, although it didn't seem to exert any strength, but this sound was like a cannonball, far away from any location in the entire Tang Family City.

As his voice sounded, thunderous shouts sounded in the entire Tang Family City.

For tens of thousands of people shouting at the same time, such a formation made Tang Zhongzhong proud for a while, after all, it was he who caused these people to shout, and the place where they shouted was Tang Jiacheng.

This shout lasted for half a pillar of incense before it gradually weakened, and only then did Tang Zhongzhong speak again.

"Next, let's carry out the first item of the lottery ceremony, please invite the protagonist of the competition to recruit relatives, my niece Tang Yiyao to appear!"

Tang Yiyao's name, along with the propaganda of the martial arts competition, spread almost all over the continent.

Among these rumors, all of them portrayed Tang Yiyao as a fairy-like woman, so when Tang Yiyao was really about to appear, the originally noisy venue suddenly quieted down.

The silence is tense, and in the midst of the tension, it feels like time flies very slowly.

It was in this tension, as if thousands of years had passed, just when everyone was wondering why Tang Yiyao hadn't appeared yet, in the distance, a cloud of white clouds separated from the white clouds and slowly floated in their direction.

The white clouds reflected the sunlight, holy and gorgeous, and as they approached, everyone realized that it was a figure in a white robe.

Dressed in a white robe, the white robe fluttered gently in the breeze, the convex and concave body seemed to be the most perfect sculpture, and the long black hair, although flying in the wind, did not have the slightest messy feeling.

It was a woman with a white veil over her face.

Although there is a veil to cover his face, his dark eyes are shining, and there seems to be a wisp of sadness in them, and anyone who sees it will tremble, and I feel pity.

"Fairies?"

In the silent square, I don't know who made a voice first, and this voice just sounded, and the shouts of 'fairies' spread throughout the entire Tang Family City.

The voice soared into the sky, as if it was about to pierce the sky, but in this case, it had no effect on the woman who flew in, the sadness in her eyes was even stronger, her eyes were unfocused, and she kept scanning around the square, as if she was looking for someone.

"Are you coming?"

The woman muttered softly, her eyes lit up, and she looked into the corner of the square, where there was a man with his back to her, as if it was the person she was looking for.

However, after an instant, as the figure in the distance turned to his senses, Tang Yiyao's eyes fell lonely again.

"Didn't you come?

With a sigh in his heart, Tang Yiyao landed on the high platform in the center of the square, and after simply bowing to the seniors around him, he sat directly in the center.

"Is that Tang Yiyao? Sure enough, she looks like a fairy!"

"Yes, if you want me to see it, she is even more beautiful than the fairy!"

"However, isn't this Tang Yiyao only the cultivation of the Ning Yuan Period? How could he break through to the Jindan Stage in three years?"

The sound of discussion, except for the moment Tang Yiyao appeared, never stopped.

No one spoke to stop this, not even Tang Zhongzhong.

"Okay, now that Tang Yiyao has arrived, then we have to officially start the lottery now. ”

Tang Zhongzhong's voice sounded again, looking down at the people, and then said: "Let me talk about the rules of this lottery ceremony, those who participate in this competition must be talents under the age of fifty, and there are no other requirements." ”

Speaking of this, Tang Zhongzhong raised his hand and waved, more than a dozen Tang family disciples were already holding trays one by one, and walked around the high platform, and the trays in the hands of these Tang family disciples contained pieces of jade slices the size of palms.

And these Tang family disciples had just stopped, and Tang Zhongzhong already had a huge box in his hand. ，

This box looks very ordinary, but it's not just a material, and it can't be penetrated with spiritual sense.

As soon as the box appeared, it was immediately thrown to the ground in front of the high platform by Tang Zhongzhong.

When it was all done, he spoke.

"Those who want to sign up for the competition only need to take a jade tablet, leave their breath on the jade tablet, engrave their name, and then throw the jade tablet into the box. ”

"Do you have any objections?"

Tang Zhongzhong said as he glanced around the square, and seeing that no one asked questions, he nodded and said loudly: "Since there is no problem, the lottery ceremony will start now!"

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen people walked out of the square and slowly walked towards the center of the square.

Seeing that these people were not in a hurry, Tang Zhongzhong smiled lightly and said: "There is one more thing I want to remind you that this lottery will only last for a stick of incense, and once the hour passes, we will not continue to draw lots, which means that once the time passes, you will not be able to participate in the competition to recruit relatives!"

After speaking, there was already an extra incense stick in his hand, which was instantly lit and inserted on the high platform.

Anyone has a wait-and-see mentality, wants to see who is signing up, and then thinks about whether they want to sign up again.

However, at this time, such a mentality was completely changed by Tang Zhongzhong's words.

The time of a stick of incense is not long, and I am worried that I will not be able to sign up, and almost instantly, the original lazy registration state is like a chicken blood, and dozens of people rush to the position of receiving the jade medal almost at the same time.

For a while, the atmosphere of registration instantly rose.

"This head of the Tang family is amazing, just one sentence actually aroused everyone's enthusiasm for signing up. ”

"Isn't it? Although his name is Tang Zhongzhong, he is not an honest person!"

The enthusiastic scene of registration is amazing, but in addition to being amazed, some people also found that a person who has been making a lot of noise in the city in recent days did not appear in the registration team.

"Did you find out, that person named Ling Fan didn't come!"

"I also found out, it is said that he has a deep relationship with Tang Yiyao, why hasn't he appeared yet, could it be that he was intercepted and killed?"

"I think it's possible, or he didn't come because he thought he couldn't win in the tournament. ”

There are many discussions among the people, no matter what they say, and there are many people who care about Ling Fan.

Among these people, two of them were the most concerned, and one of them was actually a monk in a monk's robe.

"Empty Ring, you said, why hasn't Ling Fan come yet, will he really encounter any danger. ”

This voice is feminine, but it comes from a man's mouth, which makes people feel very strange.

"Zhao Qing, don't talk nonsense, that Ling Fan is very smart, it is estimated that it was delayed because of something. ”

Kongjie frowned and replied, and after speaking, silence resumed between the two again, staring at the scene of registration.

Until there are fewer and fewer people signing up, and the incense on the high platform is about to burn to the end.

"No, we can't wait!"

Kong Jie suddenly spoke: "Why don't I participate for Ling Fan!"

"You, a monk, want to break your vows?"

Zhao Qing was stunned for a moment, but as soon as he finished speaking, the empty ring directly knocked on his head.

"Lao Tzu is very loyal to the Buddha, I just want to participate in winning and then return Tang Yiyao to Ling Fan!"

"Is that okay?"

"If it doesn't work, you can only try"

Rumble!

He was only halfway through his words, when a sudden explosion in the distant sky interrupted his voice.

The sound of the explosion made the empty ring look shocked, but after a moment, the surprise turned into a smile.

"Don't need me, he's coming!"
