Chapter 83: The Drawing of Lots
The Demon Whale Flying Ship flew over the square and stopped, levitating in mid-air like a small island.
From the deck of the spaceship, a handsome young man in a moon-white robe stepped out, standing in the void without any support, his clothes fluttering, his expression was brilliant, like a land immortal.
"Thank you, Master Xiemen, the poor Dao Zhong Chengji, came to disturb him. ”
The voice is extremely magnetic, gentle and indifferent, but it contains a fascinating and unearthly atmosphere, which makes the disciples of Qianlongmen can't help but have a little worship.
"Hahaha, Zhong Tianshi Xianjia is here, Jiuhua Peak is shining, Xie has lost his welcome, and I hope to forgive me. ”
A majestic and mellow voice flew out of the heavy hall at the top of Jiuhua Peak, and it was Xie Tianci, the current master of Qianlongmen.
As soon as the words fell, five or six rainbow lights of various colors shot into the air and flew towards the demon whale flying ship.
At this time, Zhong Xiaoling, Jing Sidao and Wufeng Zhangjiao Zhenren also appeared on the deck of the flying ship, and after greeting the people of Qianlongmen, Zhong Tianshi and Zhong Xiaoling went to report to the Jigong Hall with Xie Tianci, while the Demon Whale Flying Ship flew towards the side peak to the east of Jiuhua Peak under the guidance of several deacon disciples.
It didn't take long for the Demon Whale Flying Ship to land halfway up a mountain peak.
I saw the verdant trees in front of me, between the strange flowers and plants, there is a quiet and elegant green bamboo thatched house, quiet and comfortable, it makes people forget the vulgar when they see it, on the stone workshop that faces a vine and a vine entanglement, there are four ancient seal characters of Zhutao Yiyuan, which is quite a bit of the style of the blessed land.
Tan Yang was secretly surprised, Qianlongmen and Linghai Pavilion had always been not in harmony, and they could arrange such a good place to live. It does not lose the bearing of a famous family.
There are quite a lot of bamboo houses, and there is a little extra room for each person. This. In addition to the participants of the festival, there were also Yuan Tiangang, Lin Rongrong, Zhong Qinglin, Fu Qingzhu, Han Qingyuan, Yu Qinglan, Zhao Xiaolei and more than a dozen core disciples of each peak. Their main purpose was naturally to observe the competition, and of course, ordinary Imperial Spirit Realm disciples did not have this blessing and opportunity.
Zhutao Yiyuan is not far from Jiuhua Peak, the aura is quite strong, after everyone moved in, most of them began to meditate and cultivate in their own rooms, Tan Yang dragged Jing Wuming together, and played in the surrounding mountains and rivers, and got along after all these years. The two are like-minded and have long become friends who talk almost everything.
At sunset, the twilight is vast in a blink of an eye, and the mountains around Zhutao Yiyuan are ethereal, like a fairyland.
After eating the exquisite dinner sent by the disciples of the deacons of Qianlongmen, in the hall of the bamboo building where Master Zhong Tianshi lived, more than forty people from Linghai Pavilion gathered together, but the hall did not seem too crowded, but the disciples were all except Ling Guyan. Others are only standing.
Zhong Xiaoling said: "Next, I will introduce to you some information about this Festival. Up to now, there are about 300 contestants in the Zhenggang realm, including more than 60 in the Qianlongmen family. Coupled with their affiliated sect families, they already accounted for more than half of the three hundred. The destructive power of the Zhenggang realm cultivators is too great when they fight, so the competition venue is not in Jiuhua Peak. Instead, it's set on a desert island in the East China Sea, so it's early tomorrow morning. The Heavenly Master will lead you to attend the meeting with the spaceship of the Thousand Dragon Gate. ”
Tan Yang couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly. Qianlongmen really deserves to be one of the five giants of the Great Chu Cultivation Realm, and its strength is so strong. In the Eastern Earth Cultivation Realm, there are about twenty medium-sized sect families with similar strength to Linghai Pavilion, among which Linghai Pavilion's strength can be ranked in the middle and upper reaches, and there are only a dozen Zhenggang realm monks in the whole pavilion, and there are more than sixty monks in the Qianlongmen alone, which is really a world of difference.
I only heard Zhong Xiaoling continue: "The participants of the Imperial Spirit Realm, the number of people who have qualified now is about 1,200 people, and half of them are also Qianlongmen and their affiliated sect families, and the rules of the competition are similar to the rules of our Silver Armor Patrol Sea Guard Competition, except for the best talismans, any means can be used." In addition, the opponents of the contestants are also determined by drawing lots, but if disciples of the same sect family draw each other, these people can go to the second round of the lottery or even the third and fourth rounds of the lottery until they are differentiated. ”
In fact, the rules of the previous festivals are almost the same, that is, they are not allowed to use the best talismans, and the talismans can be sacrificed instantly, similar to summoning jade talismans and other extremely powerful supreme talismans, and even killing the monks of the Zhenggang realm, so that the meaning of the fighting competition is lost.
Yuan Xiaoqi laughed and said: "There are more than 1,000 people attending the meeting, and there are only 20 people in our Linghai Pavilion, the chance of winning each other is too small, this rule is actually only beneficial to Qianlongmen, and it is meaningless to small and medium-sized sect families like us." ”
Zhao Zhenren: "Yuan Zhenren's words are biased, and the rules of previous Dharma meetings have always been like this. Besides, the organizers of each festival are the five giants, so how can the rules they set are not good for themselves?"
Fang Fei said: "This rule is not very reasonable, if at this Fa meeting, our disciples of Linghai Pavilion have taken the top twenty, then what should we do?"
Everyone burst into laughter, Zhong Xiaoling said with a smile: "This rule is only applicable to the first two rounds of the game, starting from the third round, the draw will be carried out up to three times, if you still meet the same door after three times, then you can only accept your fate." ”
At this time, a disciple of the Imperial Spirit Realm asked, "Pavilion Master, I wonder how many of the top ones can get the qualifications to go to the Northern Frontier Qingtian Ridge at this festival?"
Zhong Xiaoling said: "The first fifty in the Zhenggang realm is six to one, and the top one hundred in the Imperial Spirit realm is about twelve to one. Ladies and gentlemen, you have a long way to go!"
Zhong Tianshi smiled indifferently: "Don't be too psychologically burdened, cultivate the truth and follow the flow, at this Fa meeting, as long as one of you can go to Qingtian Ridge, it can be regarded as a major breakthrough in our Ling Hai for hundreds of years." ”
Lin Rongrong said, "Disciple heard that the top 100 winners of this festival will receive rich rewards from the Thousand Dragon Gate, how can the Thousand Dragon Gate be so generous?"
Zhong Xiaoling said: "Master Lin and nephew misunderstood, the so-called wool is out of the sheep, each of you contestants, our Linghai Pavilion has paid the entry fee of 200 spars for you, more than 1,200 participants in this festival, that is, 240,000 spars, and the most spars of the winners of the Thousand Dragons Gate are more than 100,000, and the rest is even if it is the cost of the event, they not only make a steady profit, but also estimate that among the 100 winners, the disciples of the Thousand Dragons Gate should account for more than half, which is called the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders." ”
Jing Sidao interjected: "Actually, this is understandable, the Western Regions Underworld Sect, the Southern Wilderness Wanhua Valley, the Northern Xinjiang Wuji Sect and the Zhongzhou Brahma Temple are all the same as the Qianlongmen, they are all handled in this way, and they can't let the family contribute and pay!"
Everyone talked for a while, and some disciples also raised various questions, and after Zhong Xiaoling answered them one by one, they each disbanded and went back to their rooms to rest.
Early the next morning, Zhong Tianshi led the participants of the Linghai Pavilion Zhenggang Realm to leave Zhutao Yiyuan, while Zhong Xiaoling and Jing Sidao stayed behind, responsible for leading Tan Yang's group of Imperial Spirit Realm disciples.
On the fourth day, that is, the day before the opening of the puja, the results of the draw came out, and the luck of the disciples of Linghai Pavilion was neither bad nor bad, among them, two of the disciples drew opponents who were disciples of the Thousand Dragon Sect, Zhong Hongying's luck was the best, he drew a disciple of a small family, and that disciple was only a second-level cultivator of the Imperial Spirit.
Ling Gu Yan drew a sixth-layer disciple of the medium-sized sect Imperial Spirit, and it could be said that he had already won the battle; Jing Wuming drew a fifth-layer disciple of the medium-sized sect Imperial Spirit, and the winning rate should also be above seventy percent.
And Tan Yang's opponent is a loose cultivator named Qin Xuan, the sixth-layer realm of the Imperial Spirit, and there is no way to know what his specific strength is. With this alone, the landlord advantage of Qianlongmen has been fully revealed, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, people have already felt the details of these contestants clearly, how to play to the strengths and avoid the weaknesses of the enemy, there is a spectrum in the heart in advance, and the game can at least occupy a certain psychological advantage.
On the fifth day, the Jiuhuafeng Festival officially opened.
Early in the morning, under the leadership of Zhong Xiaoling and Jing Sidao, Tan Yang and the others flew to the testing ground behind Jiuhua Peak in a flying whale spirit boat, which was also the venue of this festival.
Looking down from the air, I saw that the trial ground under my feet was several times larger than that of Linghai Pavilion, and there were no mountains and forests around it, all of which were carved into layers of trapezoidal stands.
In the open space at the bottom of the valley, there are thirty huge competitive stone platforms, each of which is shrouded in a transparent forbidden light curtain, and between the stone platforms, there are also crowded with male and female monks of various colors, most of whom are disciples of the Thousand Dragon Sect.
This is one of the benefits of Qianlongmen as a landlord, because there are too many monks who come to watch the festival, Qianlongmen charges ten spars for each audience who enters Jiuhua Peak, if you want to go down to the competitive stone platform to watch nearby, each person needs to pay another fifty spars, and Qianlongmen's own disciples can watch the game freely, nominally to maintain the order of the puja and provide services, in fact, it is also a disguised welfare.
In the first round of the puja, more than 1,200 people were divided into more than 600 competitions and 30 competitive stone platforms, each of which needed to undertake 20 events. The fighting method between the monks of the Imperial Spirit Realm is not like that of the martial arts people in the mortal world, they have to fight three hundred rounds at every turn, and often the battle will be resolved within a dozen rounds or even a few rounds, so twenty games a day is more than enough time.
Under the control of Ling Guyan, the Flying Whale Spirit Boat slowly landed in the testing ground, Zhong Xiaoling and Jing Sidao led the disciples to disembark one after another, and a group of deacon disciples of the Thousand Dragon Sect flew over, ready to lead the disciples to their respective competitive stone platforms.
At this time, as Tan Yang expected, as if he had seen an immortal descend to earth, the entire trial ground was a sensation!
The hundreds of thousands of male and female monks present, and more than 200,000 pairs of eyes, almost all of them were projected like thousands of arrows, focusing on a fairy-like girl in white......
