Chapter XVI: The Quartet

The Quartet Conference is a helpless move founded by the Buddha, Dao, Demons, and Demons in this era of the end of the Dharma when the vitality of heaven and earth is insufficient and cultivation resources are scarce, and they are afraid that a large-scale war will occur in order to compete for resources, causing damage or destruction to the earth immortal realm.

The conference is held every five years and is held by the four directions of Buddha, Tao, demons and demons in turn. This time, the organizer of the conference is Daomen, and the location is in the realm of the legendary god war.

Under normal circumstances, the conference stipulates that the age of the participating disciples shall not exceed 30 years old, and the age of the demon clan shall not exceed 30 years.

Under the principles of fairness, impartiality and openness, casualties are allowed, and the winning teams are selected, and the top 10 winning teams will be rewarded accordingly.

Then, a thousand outstanding disciples from each of the four sides were selected to fight in a group battle, and finally three leaders were selected by each of the four leaders to face off.

It has been ten days since he said goodbye to Ou Zhuzi's hut, and during this time, the scalper Niu Niu has completely stabilized the realm in the isolation period, and his mana has been able to be released and can initially drive away things.

The primary prohibition on the "Instrument Codex" has been very proficient, and the others, because of the realm, cannot be cultivated, from Zhang Jin's bag, the scalper only found the enchantment stone that was taken away by Zhang Jin, and an unknown piece of iron.

The scalper took the iron piece and studied it over and over again for a long time, but he didn't come up with a famous research, so he had to give up.

There is still more than half a month to go, the Quartet Conference is about to open, and all forces are coming one after another, and there are not a few casual cultivators and civilians who are watching the ceremony.

In the lobby of a restaurant, the scalper sat by the window, asked for two dishes and a pot of wine, drank leisurely, and listened to the chatter at each table. Today's scalpers, using the forbidden illusion technique, disguised themselves as a powerful man, even if Zhang Jin passes from the opposite side, it is difficult to find the true face of Lushan.

"I heard that the winning team in this conference will receive the 'Returning Spirit Pill' to help the Golden Dan Monk and increase the chances of being promoted to the Yuan Infant Stage. ”

"Guiling Pill is still in the second, the most important thing is the honor of each faction, now, the ten major caves, only the small Qingxu Tian, the big empty tomorrow, Taixuan Zongzhentian, Shangyu Qingping Mountain is everywhere, and the thirty-six small caves and seventy-two blessed lands are even more unbearable, only the Danxia Cave Heaven and the Lingxu Blessed Land are left, plus Kunlun, Shushan, Zhengyi Sect, Quanzhen Sect, known as the Ten Doors of the Immortal Dao. The rest are gone. ”

"Alas, the years are like a knife, and this is the sorrow of the end of the Dharma era. ”

"Of the original ten sects of Buddhism, there are only three sects left: Zen Buddhism, Tantra Buddhism, and Pure Land Buddhism. ”

At this moment, the people at the door of the restaurant shouted horses, and a group of people walked in, the leader of the people, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, had a long scar on the left side of his face, and the corners of his mouth extending from his temples looked very hideous, not like a monk, but like a knifeman licking blood from the head of a knife.

"This scarface is Shen Tu from Nanzhan Buzhou, and I heard that he participated in the battle of thousands of people. ”

"Isn't he a loose cultivator, why can he participate in the battle of a thousand people?"

"You don't know this, in order not to hurt their own forces, the Buddha, the Dao, the Demons, and the Demon Quartet hire young casual cultivators to fight in groups with high salaries, which is called foreign aid, and it is the default unspoken rule of the conference. ”

The scalper was distracted for a while when he heard this, "No matter where you go, what group of people, as long as you live in groups, there will be potential rules, is this the embodiment of civilization, or the sorrow of civilization." ”

The scalper had no intention of listening, threw down a few crystal coins, and turned around to walk out of the restaurant.

"Friends, please stay. The scar-faced Shen Tu said to the scalper.

"What advice do you have?" scalpers turned around and looked at Shen Tu indifferently.

"Friends, don't get me wrong, I am the head of the iron-blooded mercenary group, this time I was invited by the head of Liu to participate in the battle of thousands of people, because of the problem of manpower, I need to recruit a group of young masters to participate in the battle together. ”

"Haha, not interested. The scalper simply refused.

"Haha, don't refuse so quickly, meeting is fate, friends might as well come and sit. Shen Tu had a good invitation.

Seeing that the other party was sincere and could not refuse, the scalper turned around and sat on the empty seat at the other party's table.

"Let me introduce, my name is Shen Tu, dare to ask Your Excellency's name?"

"Don't dare, under the surname Niu name love poetry. The scalper replied.

"Love poetry, a good name, I didn't expect my brother to be five big and three thick, with such an elegant name, revealing a literary style. Shen Tu had a good joke.

The scalper Niu Niu didn't know whether it was perfunctory, and found that the members of this iron-blooded mercenary group, all with high temples and strong blood, were all first-class masters among the younger generation.

"The cultivators of my generation are all going against the sky, competing for heaven and earth, that fleeting opportunity, this battle of thousands of people, although the various sects are cannon fodder, in order to reduce the loss of their own elites, but it is also not a loss, we test ourselves the best testing ground, life is in a hurry, we don't fight for it ourselves, in this poor era of the end of the law, when can we go further?" Shen Tugui advised.

The scalper was a little moved, "That's right, if you want to cultivate into an immortal and say goodbye to poetry, you must fight the heavens and the earth and rise in the test of blood and fire." ”

Seeing that the scalper was silent, Shen Tu said again: "Don't worry, in this battle of thousands of people, as long as you don't die in the end, except for the compensation of the dead and injured brothers, the gains will be divided equally." ”

"I promise you. The scalper said solemnly.

In the days that followed, Huang Niu Niu learned that the so-called mercenary group was a group of like-minded cultivators who organized themselves to earn cultivation resources by doing things that they couldn't or couldn't do for ordinary people.

It was set up to imitate the mercenary group on Earth and fantasy novels, but there was no mercenary organization, it was some lazy organization, and it was independent.

The morning light brings dew, the green grass contends, the towering boundary card is closed, ten tall rings are erected, the stands are built on both sides of the ring, the stands are crowded, and the Buddha, the Tao, the demons, and the demons are built in the position close to the pass. At the bottom of the main stand are the stands of various factions belonging to the major forces.

The members of the scalper bull and the iron-blooded army sat in the stands of the Great Free Tomorrow, surrounded by disciples who were free for the Great Tomorrow.

"At this conference, you said that we have a lot of time to represent tomorrow, will we be able to beat the crowd and come out on top?" one disciple whispered to another.

"It's hard to say, this conference, not only the young talents of the Buddhist and Taoist sects, but also the demon sects, there are also many powerful figures. ”

"I heard that there is a little Qingxutian, and there is no team sent here, only a viewing group. ”

"The head of Xiao Youqing Xutian, the ancestor of Wang Cicada, the dragon sees the head but does not see the tail, and it is already good to be able to send a viewing group. ”

At this moment, in the main stand, the organizer, Liu Kongming, the representative of the Daomen, was in charge, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, please be quiet, on behalf of the Daomen organizers, I will supervise this conference and announce the rules of the competition. ”

Immediately afterwards, a person walked out from behind Zhang Kongming, wearing a star crown on his head, his face was like a full moon, dressed in a cyan robe, and his eyes burst out with a dazzling light.

With a calm face, he said: "I sent the ancestor to become enlightened before the world changed, after the great change of the heaven and the earth, I originally wanted to step into the starry sky to seek the opportunity to become an immortal, but in order to protect my disciples, I failed to make the trip, however, recently the ancestor suffered from annihilation, the injury is difficult to heal, and he urgently needs a Tianshan Snow Lotus of more than 10,000 years. ”

As soon as Gongsun Zhiyi finished speaking, there was an uproar below: "Who is Wang Chan Ancestor? He became enlightened before the heaven and earth changed, how old should he be? Almost a few thousand years old!"

"You may not know about Wang Chan, but another name is like thunder. ”

"Who?"

"Guiguzi"

The audience was shocked again, Guiguzi is also a person, he is the master of ancient celebrities, what Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Xu Fu, etc., are not repeated.

"Wang Chan Ancestor was framed, how capable should the person who framed him be!"

"Now, the already unpeaceful Earth Immortal Realm will be even more turbulent!"

At this time, Liu Kongming's bell-like voice sounded again: "Quiet, now announce the rules of the competition: the ten sects of the Immortal Dao, due to the small Qingxutian can not participate in the competition, the remaining nine sects, plus the three sects of the Buddhist Sect, the five factions of the Demon Sect, and the six kings of the Demon Dao, a total of twenty-three teams." ”

"Ten people per team, according to the way of drawing, draw the serial number of the first to tenth ring, twenty-three people in each ring, and then draw lots in pairs, duel, the remaining one team member has a bye, the second round is exactly twelve teams, and then draw lots, and so on to determine the final ranking. ”

"The winner of two points, a draw each gets one point, the loser does not score, the score of each pair of ten players is the score of the team, the results of each team are ranked, the winning team is selected, and the individual results of each team member can be compiled into the rookie list ranking. ”

"The winners of the 10 rings are the top 10 of the rookie list, and the final draw is drawn to determine the rankings. Now the lottery will begin, please go to the notary office to draw lots with the representative team as a unit. ”

The morning was spent in the process of drawing lots for each team, and the real game began in the afternoon. The scalper has been paying attention to the performance of the disciples of Shushan. Among the disciples of the Shushan team this time, in addition to Tang Ming, they unexpectedly found that Tang Min was also among them, and Xiuwei actually entered the second stage of the heartbeat period.

The excitement has been going on for three days, with one round played each day, and only three teams are left in the ring.

In these three days, the scalper carefully observed, competed in each game, and seriously experienced that the various skills of the players in the battle were often able to come up with whimsical ideas, draw inferences from one another, and benefit a lot.

In these three days, there have also emerged a lot of amazing and brilliant people, in addition to Tang Ming of Shushan, there is also a lot of free tomorrow Feng Qingyang, Taixuan always Zhentian Xiao Xiao, Zen Daoxuan monk, the yellow robe monster under the curtain of the Mighty Bull Demon King, and the Miaoyi fairy ...... of the Hehuan Sect.

Tang Min rose to prominence even more, passing all the way to the top six, but unfortunately lost to Fairy Miaoyi.
