Chapter 304: Eastern Dragon Festival!
Today is the second day of the second month of February, the East Dragon Festival!
Legend has it that on this day, the holy dragon raises his noble head after a year of winter dormancy, heralding awakening, killing, and lifting!
The Eastern Dragon people, the descendants of the Eastern Dragon, it is said that they are all descendants of the dragon, as for whether it is true or not, there is no way to verify, it is a long time ago, and now it has long disappeared in the long river of time. The East Dragon Festival is a festival used to commemorate this legend, and it is also a record of their origin.
Every year during the Donglong Festival, there will be a grand event, for ordinary mortals, their lively family together, talk about the harvest of the year, the beauty of the coming year, this is the greatest happiness.
For monks, the day of the Eastern Dragon Festival means that there are many rewards, and they are rich rewards, which is an opportunity that disciples of every level will have every year.
Registered disciples, today, participate in the big competition of registered disciples against roars, the top ten, have the qualifications to be promoted to outer disciples.
For registered disciples, there are two ways to promote outer disciples, one is to participate in the registered disciple competition, get the top ten, and be promoted naturally, even if you are only in the early stage of foundation building, then you can still be promoted, and the other way is to improve your cultivation, and when your cultivation is promoted to the late stage of foundation building, you can also be promoted to outer disciples, which takes the longest time.
Dabi, this is the most time-saving, of course, it is also the biggest challenge, because, if you want to win the top ten among the hundreds of thousands of registered disciples, what kind of strength is needed, think about it to know the difficulty.
"Dabi is still half an hour away. Why hasn't Cao Jing come out yet?"
At this time, it was less than half an hour away. And Cao Jing's room, since it was closed five days ago. It was never opened again, except for the first two days, there was a sound from time to time, and the next two days, but it was quiet and quiet, and there was no movement, which had to be worried.
"Yes, what's going on? Moreover, it will take at least a quarter of an hour from here to the martial arts arena of the registered disciples. It's too late!"
"Senior Brother Mao, has Senior Brother Cao come out? The elders are urging again?" Maybe it was because he saw that there was not much time, and Cao Jing still didn't come out, Wan Chunling came over, Cao Jing was very important, this time the West Courtyard, most of them have to look at Cao Jing, these years, the West Courtyard has always been the bottom of the Dragon Head Peak. It's not easy to come up with a Cao Jing, maybe you can get some face back.
"Senior Brother Wan, Senior Brother Cao hasn't come out yet, and it's been three days. There has been no movement, and after Senior Brother Cao's retreat five days ago, he hasn't come out until now!"
"It's been so long, is it because you've been forgetting the time to comprehend the spiritual technique?"
"No, it won't. Senior Brother Wan, I know Senior Brother Cao's personality. He won't forget such an important thing!" Qi Feng interjected beside him.
"That's right, Senior Brother Wan. A few days ago, a dragon's groan came from Senior Brother Cao's room, and I don't know what happened?"
"The sound of the dragon's groan? Could it be ......" Wan Chunling seemed to think of a possibility, but, how could it be?
"How long has the dragon's groaning lasted?"
"The first sound was about four days ago in the evening, there was only one, and it was faintly inaudible, and the second day onwards, for half a day, there were many sounds in a row, and it seemed to be more and more frequent!
"That's too short, it seems unlikely!"
"Senior Brother Wan, what is possible?"
"I'm not sure about this, don't ask, you'll know later!"
"Yes, Senior Brother Wan, what now? There is only a little more than a quarter of an hour left!"
"When there is only a quarter of an hour left, if Senior Brother Cao hasn't come out yet, I'll slam the door!
"But, Senior Brother Wan, if Senior Brother Cao is at a critical juncture in his cultivation......"
"I'll take this responsibility, and it has nothing to do with you......"
At this moment, Cao Jing's room opened with a bang, Cao Jing walked out comfortably, seeing so many people outside, Cao Jing was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, it seems that today is the East Dragon Festival, the named disciple Dabi, is it late?
"Senior Brother Cao, you're finally out! Hurry up, it's too late!"
"Senior Brother Wan, I'm sorry, when my cultivation is critical, I can't listen to it, it's not that Senior Brother did it on purpose!"
"Well, senior brother knows, let's go, let's not talk about it yet! I'll take you fly!"
"No need, Senior Brother Wan will fly with Senior Brother Mao, I will fly by myself, Senior Brother rest assured, I can keep up!"
Mao Weiqing is also going to participate in the big competition, and now in order to wait for Cao Jing, he has been here, and seeing that the time is about to come, I am afraid that he will be late.
"Okay, if Senior Brother Cao can't keep up, I'll take you with me!"
There was not too much nonsense, Cao Jing nodded at Qi Feng, and after giving up his hand with the others, the starry sword instantly stepped on the soles of his feet, rose into the air, and flew towards the mountain with a whoosh, Wan Chunling looked at Cao Jing's disappearing figure, and lost his mind for a while, what kind of speed is this? I am also a Jindan period monk, and I didn't even see how Cao Jing disappeared!
"Senior Brother Wan, let's go too, it's not good if you're late!"
"Oh, let's go!"
......
"Why hasn't Cao Jing come yet? My little ancestor, it's up to you today, if you are disqualified if you're late, it will be a big loss!"
"Great Elder, don't worry, I don't think this kid Cao Jing is a scoreless, he will definitely arrive on time!"
"Hey, what time is this? The tea kung fu is about to arrive, and if you don't come, you will definitely be disqualified!"
"Great Elder, look, what is that?"
"I'm in a hurry now, so I'm in the mood to care about the rest......"
"No, Great Elder, it's Cao Jing, it's Cao Jing, he's here, the speed is ......."
"Huh?"
"Great Elder, I'm sorry, the kid forgot the time for cultivation, but fortunately he wasn't late!"
"Hehe, it's good to come, it's good to come, work hard, our West Courtyard depends on you!" The Great Elder's nervous mood finally relaxed, and he even raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead. can make the elder sweat nervously, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to Cao Jing!
"Go sit with them, and someone will show you what to do, and you can just do it!"
"Yes!"
......
"Cao Jing, what's going on, why are you late?"
"Oh, don't mention it, what about cultivation, I have time to forget it all of a sudden!
"Cultivation? I didn't see how much your cultivation had improved? Why did you forget it? No, could it be that you cultivated that day?"
The position where Cao Jing sat was the first position on the left, next to Fu Cunxin, and the back was Lan Cang Gaoming, basically sitting according to their previous ranking, the first to speak was Lancang Gaoming, and the second to speak, needless to say, must be Shi Fangye, Cao Jing was also strange in his heart, Shi Fangye and Yan Chuang were both cultivating strength, and they seemed to be big guys, but why did the two of them like to talk? Moreover, the speech was quite exaggerated.
"Shhh......hhh
While they were talking, Wan Chunling and Mao Weiqing also arrived, Cao Jing nodded at the two of them, Mao Weiqing found his place and sat down, without saying much.
"Dang!"
The heavy and distant bell rang one hundred and eight times in a row, and everyone stood up and listened to the bell with solemn faces. What most newcomers don't know is that this Qiankun bell is the treasure of Dilong Mountain, this bell hangs on the most mysterious holy mountain, no one can see where it is, but every year on the day of the East Dragon Festival on February 2, the Qiankun bell will begin to ring at the time of the hour, and it will sound one hundred and eight times!
The sound of the bell penetrates the heart, plays the most important role in calming the mind and condensing the qi, and has an incomparably mysterious effect on the monks who listen to it for the first time.
"The ancestor worship ceremony begins!"
Suddenly, a heavy but morning bell sound pierced everyone's hearts, and everyone woke up to find that two quarters of an hour had passed, and they felt as if a breath had passed.
It took half an hour to worship the ancestors, and everyone did not express the slightest dissatisfaction, such a thing, they have all experienced, for the Donglong people, ancestor worship is one of the most important activities, and it is also one of the most solemn and solemn ceremonies, no one can make an exception, including the Donglong Emperor, he will also worship the ancestors.
"Okay, the ancestor worship is over, then let's start one of our most important activities today, and it is also one of the most important ways to test everyone's cultivation in our Dilong Mountain every year!"
"The Registered Disciples Contest is the final competition, with a total of 1,000 people, 400 newcomers, 100 people from each of the four academies in the southeast, east and west, and 600 registered disciples from previous years! This time, only 10 of them will be selected to be promoted to the outer gate! Of course, a ranking will be given to 1,000 of you!"
"As for the way of competition, there is only one, the knockout round, there is no other, there is no so-called round-robin, or repechage or the like, there is only the knockout round, that is, every game you must win to enter the next round, if there is a round you lose, then, you will be eliminated! As for the opponent, it is designated by a few of our old guys, everyone can rest assured, although it can't be absolutely fair, but we will try to make everyone play their best, so that they can make a ranking!"
"Now, let's arrange the first round of the competition, everyone has seen the 100 rings below, we will enable it at the same time, 1,000 people will compete, it will pass quickly, those two huge screens, everyone has seen it, right?
"When the meeting is arranged, your names will show the ring number and the number of matches one after another!" (To be continued......)
