Chapter 60: The Great Contestant Chinese New Year's Eve
It is the middle of the month, and the remaining ten days are just a few days, but they are passing in a blink of an eye.
Three days before Chinese New Year's Eve, the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect competed in martial arts, and the seven fourth-generation disciples selected by the seven sons of Quanzhen under each lineage, a total of 7,749, competed in martial arts and won the championship.
Liu Chuxuan, Wang Chuyi and others all rushed back to Zhongnan Mountain before the big competition.
On this day, all the Taoists of the Quanzhen Sect gathered in the backyard Bagua Ping, which was specially used for the big competition. There is a circular ring built in the middle of this field, which is made of black and white stones, half black and half white, creating the pattern of Taiji Yin and Yang fish. Around the ring, there are eight stands built according to the direction of the eight trigrams. The stands in each direction are low in front and high in the back, with three rows in front and back, in order to respond to each hexagram has three trigrams, and according to the arrangement format of the eight trigrams of Qiansanlian, Kun Liuduan, Zhenyangyu, Gen Covered Bowl, Lizhong Void, Kanzhong Man, Dui Shang Missing, and Xun Xia Broken.
Ma Yu, Qiu Chuji and other six sons sat in the stands of the cadre position, and the remaining disciples of the Quanzhen Sect sat in other stands. Most of the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect who walked the rivers and lakes have rushed back, and people have also been sent from all over the Taoist temples, in addition, the Quanzhen Sect has also invited many fellow martial artists to come to watch the ceremony, and the scene is very grand.
Most of the martial arts colleagues who were invited were invited to sit side by side with the six sons in the stands of the cadre position. Yin Zhiping, as the first disciple, also sat in the stands.
On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month of the third year of Song Lizong's Duanping, on the gossip flat in the Chongyang Palace, the big competition of the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect officially began.
The purpose of this contest is to promote the exchanges between the disciples of each lineage, and to test the progress of the martial arts of the disciples in the past year. Everyone's friendship is the first, the competition is the second, and the point is up.
As the first disciple, Yin Zhiping took the stage to announce the rules of the competition, and then asked each of the seven teams to send one person to draw lots on the stage to decide the opponents and the order of appearance. Seven people face each other in pairs, and one person must have a bye, and the one who has a bye will be left for the next round of the draw. And so on, so that after seven rounds of drawing, there will still be one person with a bye after the finale. And the person who has a bye in the last place has to compete with the disciple who won first on the stage and decide whether to win or lose. Then, the next round of the lottery will begin.
The judges on the stage are based on the principle of fairness and justice, and the disciples of the competition are in line with the rules of the point, each going all out to show themselves. After three days of competition, this year's Quanzhen disciple competition ended successfully in a celebratory and lively atmosphere.
At the end of the meeting, Ma Yu, the head teacher, took the stage to speak, affirming the significant progress made by the 79 fourth-generation disciples who participated in the competition in their personal martial arts in the past year, and highly praised their hard work. For the top three winners, Ma Yu gave high praise and awarded them physical prizes.
After the event, Ma Yu expressed his heartfelt thanks to the fellow martial arts guests who came to watch the ceremony, and invited them to stay and then participate in the celebration banquet and Chinese New Year's Eve banquet to celebrate the successful conclusion of this big event.
Since it is Chinese New Year's Eve three days later, the party that has always ended the big game and the celebration of Chinese New Year's Eve are held together.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, when celebrating, all disciples can distribute some vegetarian wine to celebrate. All the disciples gathered together and toasted each other, which was very lively and happy, and it was a rare event for the Quanzhen Sect on weekdays.
When it comes to getting a child, this day officially passes, ushering in the first day of the new year, on the first day of the new moon, the Chongyang Palace rings one hundred and eight bells to congratulate.
Yin Zhiping is not a person who likes to be lively too much, and the noisy atmosphere in the banquet made him feel a little uncomfortable. At the halftime, after he should have toasted and those who should have been toasted to each other, he took advantage of no one's attention, and quietly left the venue alone and left Chongyang Palace. ...,
There is a saying that "every festive season thinks of relatives", and on Chinese New Year's Eve today, when he came out of Chongyang Palace and calmed down alone, he couldn't help but think of his relatives in his previous life. Parents, brother and sister-in-law, and that beautiful, cute but quirky little niece. It's been almost a year since I've been here, and I don't know how my parents are doing, have you made a lot of trouble looking for him?
Yin Zhiping walked with his hands on his back, while walking, he thought about many past events with his relatives in his previous life, and did not pay much attention to the road under his feet and distinguish the direction. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had walked far away from Chongyang Palace, and he couldn't see the tall and magnificent Chongyang Palace behind him.
Yin Zhiping looked around, and he had to determine what kind of place this was. At this time, his internal strength is profound, and his vision in the dark night is as good as day, and it does not affect his vision much.
After looking around, Yin Zhiping found that this was actually near the ancient tomb, that is, in the dense woods outside the ancient tomb. However, in the cold of winter, most of the trees, except for evergreen trees such as pines and cypresses, have lost their leaves, leaving only bare trunks, which look less dense. Yin Zhiping looked around, and through the sparse branches and gaps, he had already seen the bulging tomb bag of the ancient tomb.
"Strange, why did you come here unconsciously?" Yin Zhiping muttered to himself in his heart, looked in the direction of Gu Mu, and suddenly saw a faint fire flickering in front of the ancient tomb, and couldn't help but secretly say strange in his heart.
On this big night, when it was almost time, he thought that Xiaolongnu and Grandma Sun should have already gone to bed, but at this time, he saw a fire outside the ancient tomb, which was naturally strange, and he couldn't help but secretly say: "Could it be that someone is going to sneak into the ancient tomb at this time?" Could it be Li Mochou?"
Curiosity arose in his heart, and Yin Zhiping couldn't help but want to step forward to find out. Immediately lighten his steps, perform light body skills, like a silent shadow, kick on the trunk of the tree, and jump to another trunk in the distance.
Although he had practiced the light skills very well at this time, he still couldn't achieve the superior realm of stepping on the snow without a trace. At this time, the ground was full of snow, and although he was very skillful, he still had to make some noise when he stepped on it. Although the sound was very small, it fell into the ears of a good hearing, and it was undoubtedly a sign of self-infliction, so he borrowed the trunk of the tree as a stepping point. The trunk of the tree is sturdy, and with a slight touch, it can be said that there is no sound.
Yin Zhiping shuttled and jumped in the forest, constantly borrowing strength from the trunk, but after a few breaths, he had reached the edge of the woods. Among the trees on the edge, he chose a tree with a thinner trunk that could be hugged with one arm, and Yin Zhiping jumped over and gently hugged the trunk to look at the situation in front of the ancient tomb.
After looking at it, he realized that he had mistaken and thought too much, and there were no other outsiders in front of the ancient tomb, that is, Xiaolongnu and Grandma Sun. This young man, one old and two old, did not sleep as he thought, but lit Kong Ming lanterns in front of the ancient tomb very energetically.
Yin Zhiping couldn't help but show a silent bitter smile, only then did he remember that today was Chinese New Year's Eve, but in his mind, Xiaolongnu, a 10,000-year-old house girl who usually does not care about everything, should be just a festival, even his birthday is also ordinary, just an ordinary day. But he didn't expect that Xiaolongnu would also celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve, and prepared some special blessings to celebrate.
"Alas, it's really wrong! Xiaolongnu, this girl, can always surprise me. Shaking his head and sighing in his heart, Yin Zhiping let go of his hand and gently jumped from the trunk to the ground.
