Chapter 59 The Drawing of Lots
Early the next morning, a total of seventy-eight disciples from Qingquan, Lingyu and the Su family, under the leadership of the heads and elders of their respective sects, rode the Su family's thousand bird car, and quickly rushed to the entrance of the Yunyang Ghost Tomb to participate in the Ten Sect Martial Arts.
The Su family's thousand bird car, when he first heard about it, Lu Tong was also puzzled, the thousand bird car, is it a flying car pulled by a thousand birds, and when he really saw it, Lu Tong was surprised, the Su family's thousand bird car itself is a large flying magic weapon, which consumes spirit stones when it runs, and as one of the top ten shili of the Su family, this spirit stone can still afford it, but the Su family is ingenious and domesticated two third-order flying demon beasts Winged Blue Tinch Bird, as a cart spirit beast, the winged blue tinch bird is a monster beast known for its speed among the flying demon beasts, and its combat power is not high, but it is indeed the most ideal to pull a car。
Lu Tong secretly compared the Su family's thousand bird car with the flying spirit boat of the main sect, and this Su family's thousand bird car was superior to the flying spirit boat of the Qingquan Sect in terms of speed and stability under the additional effect of the winged blue finch bird.
Under the dual action of the two-winged blue finch bird and the spirit stone, the speed of the Thousand Bird Car increased several times, and it arrived at the gathering place of the Ten Sects in less than an hour.
Lu Tong stood in the thousand bird car and looked at Xiangxia, the first thing he saw was three tall competition venues and ten windward banners around the three high platforms, each flag was embroidered with a huge character, there was the word 'Xuan', there was the word 'Fu', and the word 'Xu', the word 'Yuan', etc., respectively, represented the sect staying here, among which the three big characters of 'Qing', 'Yu' and 'Su' were lined up and occupied the northeast corner of the circle.
"Master Hao, Master Ji, Deputy Head of Honghui has taken care of everything, there are some old friends below, let's go down!" Then, Su Hongzheng whistled, and the two winged blue finch birds stopped, slowly hovering in the northwest corner of the circle, and finally slowly fell, as the thousand bird car fell steadily, all the disciples of the three sects quickly walked down the thousand bird car and walked towards the banner of their own sect.
After all the disciples came to the huge 'green' flag flying in the air, Hao Qiuyuan said to Baili Wentian: "Old friends are here, I will go over to say hello, and by the way, I will also take a look at the next confrontation situation, you arrange for the disciples to prepare for the competition that will start soon." ”
Then Hao Qiuyuan, Ji Feng, and Su Hongzheng slowly walked towards the high platform in the center, where the heads of several sects had already gathered, and they either greeted each other or didn't bother to say hello.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lu Tong observed the surrounding environment, this is an open place in the mountains, and there is no entrance to the Yunyang Ghost Tomb, the four major factions of the ten sects occupy the four corners of the competition venue, the northeast corner is the Qingquan Sect, the Lingyu Sect, and the Su family, the southeast corner is the Seven Evil Sect, the Holy Beast Gate, and the Chen family, the northwest corner is the Tianfu Sect, the Black Water Valley, and the Yuan family, and the most quiet is the southwest corner, only the Xuanying Sect is the family, and the huge 'Xuan' character flag is particularly conspicuous.
Lu Tong instinctively first looked at the northwest corner of the 'Fu' character flag, carefully observed, only saw Yuan Changle and Cheng Shaofei, as for the others, whether it is an elder or a disciple, none of them have been seen by him, he has not seen them for three years, that Cheng Shaofei has obviously matured a lot, maybe Cheng Shaopeng's death has made him get the attention of the sect and his father, and he is no longer bitter and hateful, but he still has a cold and ruthless face.
Immediately, Lu Tong looked at the ten heads on the central platform, he focused on a middle-aged monk dressed in white, from the color of the clothes, he could distinguish that it must be the head of the Tianfu Sect, he killed other people's sons, and forced others to give up the right to pursue it, although this matter is over, the head of that Cheng has also promised that he will never find trouble with Lu Tong, but Lu Tong does not believe that this matter can be easily passed, unless one day he has no less cultivation than that of the head of Cheng, otherwise he has been in danger。
Lu Tong looked at the huge banner of the word 'evil' again, the lonely cold came, the Ling brothers and sisters only came to Ling He, that Ling Tianba didn't come for some reason, three years later, Ling He was still dressed in black embroidered with fiery red and gold edges, his figure was extremely enchanting, and his appearance was even more delicate and cold, like a black rose with a fiery red color, so beautiful that it was suffocating.
Lu Tong took his eyes away from Ling He, from the land of the Seven Evil Sects, and then looked at the other sects roughly, and then retracted his gaze and raised his spirit, Lu informed that it was useless to see it, anyway, the match was decided by drawing lots, luck was very important, if he came up and encountered the highest combat power among all the participating disciples this time, he could not fight him by himself, but there was no way to do it, but Lu Tong believed that now with his own strength, he really didn't believe that anyone could defeat him, even so, Lu Tong did not dare to be careless, after all, this time he was fighting for the highest interests of the sect, and there was no room for negligence。
Half an hour later, Hao Qiuyuan returned to the word 'Qing' with an expressionless face.
"Master, what's the result?" asked Baili Wentian.
"What else, just like two hundred years ago, after Qin Lao Ghost finished explaining the rules, he started immediately, let the disciples prepare and prepare!" Hao Qiuyuan said to Baili Wentian.
"Junior disciples, Qin Yuzhen, the head of the old man Xuanying Sect, announced the rules of martial arts on behalf of the head of the ten sects: 1. Once you enter the stage, you are responsible for life and death, no one can interfere, and those who interfere will be punished by the head of the supervision group; "After the head of the Xuanying Sect Qin finished speaking, he slowly returned to the banner of the word 'Xuan'.
Lu Tong had already heard these rules from Fu Yang and the others, so he didn't think there was anything wrong, competing for a place in the Yunyang Ghost Tomb was competing for the heart of the spiritual vein, and in front of the highest interests of the sect, it was inevitable that there would be accidental death in the competition.
This head supervision group is composed of the heads of the ten sects and the deputy heads, divided into three groups, responsible for supervising the competition of the three high platforms, and at the same time maintaining the order of the competition, recording the results of the competition, and is the highest leadership body of the ten sects.
"What's the spirit?, I wonder if this old ghost of Qin will be able to announce the rules of martial arts on behalf of the Ten Sects in two hundred years. "For some reason, Baili Wentian saw that the head of the Xuanying Sect Qin was angry when he announced the rules of martial arts on the stage, and after seeing Qin Yuzhen walk off the stage, he said such a sentence coldly.
"Senior brother, let go of your grievances, cultivate hard, and become a primordial infant as soon as possible, so that you can avenge the revenge of the palm of the year. After Hao Qiuyuan heard Baili Wentian's words, he said to him with a straight face.
"Remember. Although Baili Wentian was not convinced, he still responded seriously.
After Lu Tong heard the conversation between these two heads, he pondered for a while, and the guess in his heart became clear, it seemed that this deputy head of Baili had been defeated by the head of Na Qin, so he had a huge resentment in his heart.
After a while, a sixth-layer monk in the Qi cultivation period wearing a red and yellow jacket and holding a bunch of jade medals in his hand came to the Qingquan Sect station, bowed to Hao Qiuyuan, and said, "Meet the seniors, the juniors are ordered to come and send the jade medals for the competition." ”
"Put it down!" Hao Qiuyuan said expressionlessly.
The sixth-layer Qi cultivator wearing a red and yellow jacket hurriedly bowed, put down the jade card, and ran away quickly.
These low-level qi refining monks wearing red and yellow jackets were drawn from the Holy Beast Gate, the Su family, and the Yuan family to serve this competition, and it was rare to see the late stage of the Jiedan Great Monk, and at this time, talking to the late stage of the Jiedan Monk face-to-face, it was inevitable that he was nervous, so this disciple put down the jade card, as if relieved, and ran away quickly.
"You take the jade medal according to the order of haode determined earlier, the first twelve will draw the opponent, and the last twelve will wait for the opponent to draw. Baili Wentian picked up the jade plate and said.
This kind of lottery Lu Tong has long known that the remaining twenty-four people in each case will receive a number plate according to the order determined by their respective sects, the first twelve people are stronger, and the opponents within the remaining nine sects will be randomly selected, and the last twelve people will be slightly weaker, waiting to be drawn by other sect opponents, after the first round of the competition, each sect will determine the number again according to the number of people left, and the people who will be drawn and the people who will be drawn will still be the case in the third round, and after the three rounds, the number of places to enter the Yunyang Ghost Tomb will be finally determined.
All the disciples of the Qingquan Sect began to receive their number plates after they finished asking the sky for a hundred miles, and Lu Tong also stepped forward with everyone to receive a jade plate, which said twenty, Fu Yang received fourteen, Lu Tong glanced at Lei Kun not far away, Lei Kun seemed to realize something, and showed his number three plate to Lu Tong, Lu Tong just smiled and didn't say anything.
After a while, another sixth-layer disciple wearing a red and yellow jacket, holding a black jade jar, came to the head of the Qingquan Sect, bowed, and said, "The junior meets the senior, and the disciple is ordered to come and let the senior brothers draw lots. After finishing speaking, he stood there timidly, waiting for Hao Qiuyuan's answer.
"Hurry up and start, or the bad opponents will let others take them away. Hao Qiuyuan urged.
After hearing this, the disciple quickly came to Huang Youqian, lifted the jar, Huang Youqian put one hand into the jar with an expressionless face, and quickly took out a jade plate, which coincided with the No. 1 jade card in his hand, with a faint flash, and a line of small words appeared on it: "The second field on the left high platform, the No. 1 Qingquan Sect vs. the eighteenth of the Chen family." The jade plaque that he took out immediately turned into powder, and a huge jade plaque on the high platform on the left clearly showed the content just now.
After Huang Youqian finished drawing, Yuan Feng then drew a piece, and the huge jade plaque on the right side of the high platform appeared: "The fourth field of the high platform on the right, the second of the Qingquan Sect against the seventeenth of the Lingyu Sect." Lei Kun casually took out a jade plaque, which coincided with his own jade plaque, and Lu Tong saw the big jade plaque at the central high platform displayed: "The sixth field of the central high platform, the third of the Qingquan Sect is the fifteenth of the Xuanying Sect." ”
The lottery was carried out one after another, and each disciple who drew lots would find an opponent, Lu Tong looked at the contents of the three high jade plates with a blank face, waiting for the moment when he was selected.
Lu Tong understood that under this kind of lottery rules, the best disciples of each sect could smoothly enter the next round, while the relatively weak disciples might be eliminated, and eventually there would be a situation of strong dialogue.
Lu Tong was thinking about it, when he saw the jade plaque in his hand light up, and a line of small words appeared on it: "The twenty-first one of the high platform on the right, the seventh of the Holy Beast Gate and the twentieth of the Qingquan Sect." Immediately, on the high platform on the right, Lu Tong saw his number of games and opponents.
After Lu Tong was drawn, Fu Yang's jade plaque also lit up, and it read: "The twenty-seventh field of the Central High Platform, the tenth of the Tianfu Sect is the fourteenth of the Qingquan Sect." ”
After a while, all the draws were over, Hao Qiuyuan said a few words to Chu Xiong and Huang Wanxing and others, and then stood up with Baili Wentian and walked towards their respective supervision venues, as members of the head supervision team, they will assume important responsibilities in the next game, not only to supervise the game, but also to maintain the order of the game, but also to record the results of the game, the task will be very heavy, but for the cultivators, for the masters, it is almost not the first time to do such a thing, they are familiar with the road, and they can go down according to the procedure。
