Chapter 63: The Contest Begins (Ask for Collection)
The disciples of the four sects of the Righteous Dao Sect have now arrived at the Chaokun Sect, and it stands to reason that they can start the competition.
Qingxu Zhenren proposed to start the competition again tomorrow, so that the disciples who came from afar could make adjustments.
Start the competition immediately, it stands to reason that it is the most beneficial to the disciples of Chaokun Sect, the disciples of the other three factions are all coming from a long journey, and the disciples of Chaokun Sect are waiting for work at ease, and they have a great advantage in physical strength. And Qingxu really doesn't want to take advantage of this.
The competition of the four schools was jointly negotiated by the founding patriarchs of the four schools, and the purpose was to let the young disciples of the four schools grow up rapidly through the exchange between the disciples. Letting the disciples go out to practice is the best experience, but the Demon Sect thieves are ruthless, and if the disciples are not good enough, they may be slaughtered by the Demon Sect. It is not easy to train a disciple to come out, this is something that the Four Great Daomen do not want to see.
Therefore, the Four Great Dao Sects agreed on the competition of the four sects a long time ago, and the ranking of this competition is not important, the important thing is to improve the disciples' Taoism through competition, so that many disciples can see their own shortcomings in cultivation and correct them.
The Dao methods of the Four Great Dao Sects are fundamentally the same, but they are not exactly the same, so that they can better hone their disciples.
The next morning, the disciples of the four sects all came to the square early, waiting for the lottery competition.
Cultivators have a better physique than mortals, and a night's rest has long adjusted the fatigue of the long journey.
Zhao Yu and the fat head and the cold-faced Yama stood in the corner of the square early, watching this huge event.
Seeing that all the disciples had almost arrived, Qingxu stood side by side with Yizhen, Hui Jing Yuanjun, and Meng Qingshui, looking at the hundreds of disciples in the square with a smile.
Qingxu said to the other three: "It's almost time, why don't we start." ”
Yizhen said: "Senior brother, please!"
Among these four people, Yi Zhen is the only person who is not in charge, but his status in Qianyang Mountain is indeed no less than that of the leader.
Yiyang Zhenren, the head of Qianyang Mountain, has been in retreat for nearly a hundred years and has ignored the affairs of the sect, and usually the affairs of the sect are handled by the Yizhen Taoist in front of him.
Qingxu said to the Agni Peak Elder behind him, "Agni, you will still be in charge of this year's Four Factions Competition." ”
Elder Flame Peak said, "Yes", saluted the four of them, then walked to the ring in the middle of the square, coughed and said, "Everyone, be quiet!"
A ring has already been set up in the square, which is used for competitions. Because the four factions were competing with each other, not on the basis of rankings, only one ring was built for the disciples to watch the competition.
Elder Agni was naturally much higher than the disciples in the audience, and as soon as he spoke, the audience immediately became quiet, waiting for him to speak.
Seeing that the audience was quiet, Elder Agni nodded with satisfaction, and continued to speak: "Disciples, in order to uphold justice and eliminate demons, the ancestors of my four factions have agreed to hold a competition of four factions, which will be held once every twenty years. Today, I am the head of the Kun Sect and the head of the landlord to welcome you to my Wuguang Mountain Range. This four-faction competition is still held by lottery. Due to the large number of young disciples from each sect every year, we still use the method of 16 places for each sect this year, with a total of 64 participants from the four sects. After a while, these 64 people began to draw lots to determine the order of matching, and after the first round of competition, 32 winners were selected. In the second round of the competition, the winners of the first round will draw lots and compete in this way, and so on, until the final winner is selected. Do you understand?"
Hundreds of disciples under the ring shouted in unison, "Understood!"
Qingxu led the other three and took their seats on the stands directly opposite the ring. There are four chairs in this stand, and no matter the direction or angle, it is the upper place to watch the game.
Qingxu and the other four sat down as the guest of honor, behind Qingxu stood the white tiger, and behind Hui Jing Yuanjun stood Lin Lin and Suzaku on the left and right, respectively, which shows that these two people have won her love. The young man Junxiu standing behind Meng Qingshui, the head of the Qingyi faction, was his beloved disciple Xuanwu, while the person standing behind Yizhen was his senior disciple Duan Hou.
Due to Qinglong's failure to participate in the competition of the four factions, Duan Hou's weight is not as good as the other three factions, the other three factions are the heads of the sect in person, and the disciples behind him are all future successors of the head of the sect, and although Duan Hou's status in the younger generation of Qianyang Mountain is not low, compared with the first big disciple Qinglong, it is still far behind.
Although there is no way to compare their status, White Tiger and Xuanwu do not dare to underestimate Duan Hou. This thickness can be called the second person of the younger generation of Qianyang Mountain, and the Tao is second only to Qinglong, and the real Tao is indeed not under Baihu and a few others.
Seeing that the senior brother in charge and the others were seated in the stands, Elder Agni asked people to move over the box used for drawing lots, and said loudly: "Now that everything is ready, please draw lots for the disciples of the four factions to decide the order of the competition, according to the traditional practice of this competition, please invite the disciples of the Jade Phoenix Pavilion to draw lots!"
The rules of the four factions have been negotiated for a long time, and they all took the initiative to let the Jade Phoenix Pavilion, which only accepts female disciples, draw lots first, then the other two, and the last one to draw lots is the host.
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen female disciples of the Jade Phoenix Pavilion lined up in the square and walked in front of the wooden box and began to line up to draw lots.
Hui Jing Yuanjun smiled and said to Lin Lin and Suzaku behind him, "You two should go too." ”
Suzaku and Lin Lin also came to the wooden box according to the teacher's order, and each drew a number.
The number drawn by Suzaku was 16, and Lin Lin drew a number of 53, and she smiled at each other, and returned to the master's side.
The other three factions also drew a number each in the order of queuing, a total of 64 people participated, and the numbers naturally ranged from 1 to 64.
Seeing that all the disciples had finished drawing numbers in order, Elder Agni Flame spoke: "The lottery has ended, and our battle order is still that the disciple who drew No. 1 against the disciple No. 64, the disciple No. 2 against No. 63, and so on. The first round of the competition is a total of 32 games, we play 8 games a day, the first round of the competition is held for four days, the second round is 16 games held for two days, the third round is 8 games held for one day, and so on until the end of the competition. There are 8 competitions a day, and the rest of the time is spent by the disciples discussing with each other, and they can also play freely. Disciples who participated in the competition, can you understand?"
Dozens of disciples under the ring said in unison: "Disciple understands. ”
Elder Agni nodded with satisfaction and said loudly, "The purpose of this competition is to learn from each other, and it is absolutely impossible to take the other party's life. If the opponent is knocked out of the ring or voluntarily concedes, the match ends. Please remember your numbers, after the game starts, five calls should not be considered as a waiver, do you all understand?"
"Disciple understands!"
Elder Agni said, "Okay, okay, then let's start the first competition, and ask No. 1 and No. 64 to come out." ”
Elder Blaze shouted again.
One of the disciples in the square shouted, "Senior brothers, let me go, I'm No. 1." Everyone made way for him, and after a while, Kung Fu No. 1 stood on the ring, holding a fairy sword and quietly waiting for his opponent.
The fat head in the corner suddenly spoke: "Isn't that person in the ring Shidu?"
The cold-faced Yan Luo and the others nodded and said, "It's indeed him." ”
Hei Xin said: "This person is extremely annoying, and it is best to be kicked out of the ring by the opponent with one move." This guy always relies on himself to be an inner disciple and arrogant, it is best to let him be beaten all over the ground to find teeth, otherwise he will not understand his hatred. "Hei Xin is usually extremely tired of Shi Du, but now he is the first to appear when he sees him, not only does he not look forward to the victory of his own sect, but he is looking forward to his defeat.
In the ring, Elder Agni saw that No. 1 had already appeared, and shouted again, "Please enter disciple No. 64." ”
In the stands, Duan Hou whispered a few words to his master, Yizhen Daoren.
Yizhen smiled: "Go ahead".
Duan Hou's figure flickered a few times, and then appeared in the ring.
Elder Agni nodded with satisfaction and said loudly, "The two disciples of the first competition have arrived, and the competition has begun. ”
Shi Du archer said: "Shi Du, a disciple of Qingmu Peak of Chaokun Sect." ”
Duan Hou smiled and bowed back: "Duan Hou, a disciple of the Yizhen Daoist of Qianyang Mountain. ”
Shi Du said: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Duan, and the younger brother was offended." ”
Although Duan Hou is low-key, he is profound, second only to Qinglong in the sect, and he is not a nameless.
The cyan immortal sword magic weapon flashed with cyan light, and slashed towards Duan Hou with the momentum of opening mountains and splitting the ground, with an astonishing momentum.
All the disciples in the audience screamed, but they didn't expect Shi Du to be unsightly, and the offensive was amazing, and they didn't know how long they could support Duan Hou's hands.
Duan Hou stood in the ring with a calm face, motionless, faintly looking at the overwhelming Qingmang, and smiled slightly.
In a corner under the ring, the cold-faced Yan Luo said lightly: "Shi is going to be defeated!"
Blackheart and the others wondered: "What?"
As soon as the cold-faced Yama finished speaking, a black light flashed in the ring, and under the stunned eyes of everyone, Shi Du's body was like a kite with a broken string that was knocked away, and fell into the ring, wow, a mouthful of blood spit out.
Many disciples under the ring looked at each other in surprise. Shi Du's momentum just now was amazing, and he was knocked out of the ring by Duan Hou in one move, and he was not lightly injured.
Elder Agni smiled helplessly and announced loudly, "In the first competition, the Qianyang Mountain Duan won the battle. ”
After Duan Hou won, his face was not proud, as if nothing had happened, and he returned to the stands and stood behind Yizhen Daoren.
Qingxu Zhenren smiled and said to Yi Zhendao: "Duan Hou's nephew's black mangxian sword is becoming more and more superb, and he will be better than blue in the future." "As the head of a faction, after all, he is somewhat open-minded, and the disciples of his own sect are not good, so he doesn't care at all, but praises Duan Hou.
Yizhen Daoist said a few polite words, and he knew that he was a pure and empty person, and knew that he rarely praised people, especially young disciples. He said to Duan Hou behind him: "I haven't thanked Master Qingxu yet." ”
Duan Hou saluted and said, "Thank you for your kindness." ”
Qingxu shook his hand and said no more.
