Chapter 50: Casting lots

A huge area has been demarcated in the square before the county guard mansion as a place for competition, and a high platform has been built in front of the county guard mansion, and in addition to the dozen or so people from the state pastoral mansion led by Cheng Kang and three challengers, the figures with heads and faces in Yuan County have arrived.

Naturally, the officials of the county guard mansion didn't need to say much, they gathered together under the leadership of Yu Qian, Sun Wuhan and others, in addition to them, the top ten Jianghu sects in Yuan County also gathered together under the leadership of Wang Feiye and Yang Wuyun, and they exchanged glances with each other, and their eyes were all fixed on the three challengers of Nie Xiangzhan.

For Yuan Dian, whether it is the official or the forces of the rivers and lakes, they have long been convinced, and now that these three people have come to challenge, they are very disgusted from the bottom of their hearts, if they are not subject to the rules of the Qingyuan Immortal Realm, they will definitely find a way to kill these three challengers.

On the high platform, in addition to the monks on the side of Yuan County, the county guards of Qing, Chu, and Wu counties adjacent to Yuan County each led two or three followers to appear on the high platform, watching the upcoming competition, and in their hearts they also hoped that Yuan Dian could win and hold the position of county guard.

Although the overall strength of Yuan County in the past fifty years has far surpassed that of the city and county they serve, they have gained great benefits from the development of Yuan County.

Because of the rise of Yuanjun, it has become the vanguard of blocking the demon beasts of the Red Sea Demon Yuan, fifty years ago, from time to time there would be demon beasts entering their three counties to commit crimes, which caused them a headache, but in the past fifty years, Yuan Dian led his Yuanjun to become their barrier, firmly suppressing the demon beasts, so that their three counties have never been harassed by large-scale demon beasts. There is a steady development.

In addition, the development of Yuan County has also driven the development of their three counties. From the development of Yuan County, their three cities and counties have gained a lot of benefits. If Yuan Dian loses the position of county guard, the new county guard will definitely not have his means, and the corresponding development of Yuan County will inevitably be hindered, which is not what they want to see.

Although a powerful neighbor brought them a lot of pressure, when this neighbor was subject to the inherent system of the Qingyuan Immortal Realm, there was no threat to them, and they were also willing to share some benefits with them from time to time, they were naturally willing to associate with this neighbor.

Now the three county guards are in such a mood, they hope from the bottom of their hearts that Yuan Dian will win, so that Yuan County will have a stable environment for continued development, but look at the three challengers one by one. also exists as a county guard, and the three of them are also a little unoptimistic about Yuan Dian.

In addition to these high-ranking people gathering on the high platform, there are also many monks gathered in the streets around the county guard's square, on the top of the houses and even on the treetops, all of them are in a vantage point to witness the battle for the county guard's position, and most of them hope that the current county guard will win and their existing interests will not be affected.

At this time, Cheng Kang and Yuan Dian stood side by side, walked to the center of the high platform, looked around at the many watching monks around, glanced at Nie Xiangzhan who was sitting in the distance, and said to Yuan Dian in a low voice:

"Yuan Junshou, to be honest. This county guard really hopes that you can win a big victory in this challenge, you said that these second and third ancestors don't know what to think, obviously they all have their own territory and have to run out to grab others, thinking about it is infuriating. You should fight hard, and within the scope of your duties, the Pastor of the State will give you the greatest authority to help. ”

Although he is not optimistic about Yuan Dian's victory, Cheng Kang still hopes to befriend Yuan Dian. As for what happens after the fight, it can only depend on the situation. But Cheng Kang believes in the importance of showing such an attitude at the last moment.

For Cheng Kang's last moment, although he knew that there was speculation in it, he would marry himself. But Yuan Dian can understand that if he is not an eight-sided and exquisite person, how can Cheng Kang be able to achieve the position of the head of a state?

"Then there is the pastor of Lao Chengzhou. Thanking Cheng Kang, Yuan Dian flipped his palm and took out the Immortal Monarch Order in his hand and handed it to Cheng Kang, and then strode towards the center of the competition arena.

Looking at the Immortal Monarch Order in his hand, and then at Yuan Dian who was walking towards the competition venue, Cheng Kang couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "If you are so calm, you must have something to rely on, and this Yuan Dian must not be taken lightly." ”

Nie Xiangzhan and the three of them were also qualified to challenge Yuan Dian after layers of strict selection, naturally they were not idle people, and now the three of them sat there and saw Yuan Dian calmly hand over the Immortal Monarch Order, and then walked to the center of the arena without fear, and the three of them were also slightly shocked in their hearts, and then they each calculated.

The Half Hundred Order has been around for a long time in the Qingyuan Immortal Realm, and the rules in it have long been known to everyone.

On the day when the order of half a hundred expires, three people can challenge the current county guard, and the three of them draw lots to determine the order of challenge, if the current county guard defeats the three people, they will naturally stay in office, and at the same time, they can get the re-recognition and reward of the immortal monarch order.

If you lose in the hands of one of them, you will lose your position as a county warden and become the former county warden from then on, but there are many sayings in this that if you lose the first game, the next two will challenge the winner until the ownership of the county guard position is decided.

But if you defeat one person and lose in the second game, then the person in the first game has no right to challenge again, and the second and third people compete for the position of county guard, if the current county guard is not defeated until the third game, then the two who lost in front of you will not have the right to challenge, and the last person to appear automatically gets the position of county guard.

If there are only such rules, it will naturally be the last to appear, but in addition to stipulating some fighting rules, the Qingyuan Immortal Realm is also strictly ordering this kind of challenge to hurt lives first, and there are three hours between each battle, so the draw of lots will not make much sense, it is almost equivalent to four people competing for a county guard position, but in any case, the one selected must be the most powerful person.

Looking at Yuan Dian standing in the center of the field, Cheng Kang didn't say anything more, turned around and walked to Nie Xiangzhan and the three of them, flipped his palm and took out a small box with round holes, and then gestured to the three with a smile on his face and said: "Three challengers, Yuan Junshou is ready, you can draw lots by yourself to decide the order of challenge!"

"The early bird has worms to eat, two, Duan Mou drew it first. Glancing at Long Jingrou and Nie Xiangzhan, Duan He stood up from where he was, came to Cheng Kang, leaned inside, and grabbed a small jade ball from it.

At the moment when the jade ball was grabbed out of the locket, a cloud and mist inside flipped over, and in a blink of an eye, it converged into a 'one' character, seeing this word, Duan He showed a smile on his face, and said proudly: "Two, what did Duan say? Wait until Duan defeated Yuan Dian before I can compete with you." ”

The small box has undergone special training, which can prevent anyone from peeping, and the three balls inside are exactly the same, after special refining, the numbers inside will only be displayed at the moment they are taken out, so everyone will not think that this lot will have any tricks, the most important thing is that everyone knows that in the end it is to choose the strongest one from among the four, anyway, sooner or later there will be a battle, and it is estimated that there is no need to do anything in this kind of thing.

Duan He was the first to catch the lot, that is, the first person to fight, and after looking at each other, Long Jingrou stood up from the spot, just glanced at Nie Xiangzhan, ignored anyone, and then walked straight to Cheng Kang's side, and poked the white jade-like palm into the small box and grabbed a small ball.

When the cloud mist finally transformed into a 'two', Cheng Kang smiled slightly and turned to Nie Xiangzhan and said, "Nie Gongzi, it seems that you are the third to fight, so you don't need to grab it." ”

There are three people in total, and the first two are all in order, so Nie Xiangzhan naturally has no need to draw lots again, and he naturally has no opinion on this, just nodded as if he didn't see it.

However, at this time, Long Jingrou didn't even look at Duan He, but raised the jade ball in her hand and said to Nie Xiangzhan: "Nie Xiangzhan, when I saw your coaxing expression, this girl will be angry, and after a while, this girl will teach you a lesson in person." ”

"The first immortal in the Ziyang Holy Land, how big is the Ziyang Holy Land? Have you ever walked through? Phew, it is only an arrogant person like you who does not know the height of the sky and the earth and does not know the shame to dare to proclaim such a name, it is really a shame. ”

Such words show that Long Jingrou obviously knows Nie Xiangzhan, and there is obviously some hatred between the two.

"Long Jingrou, what are you talking about?" Hearing Long Jingrou like this, Nie Xiangzhan stood up suddenly, and anger flashed in his eyes.

However, at this time, Cheng Kang coughed twice, and said unhurriedly: "If there is any grievance between the two of them, and there is time to resolve it, and if there is any conflict at this time, the Pastor of Benzhou has the right to directly cancel your challenge qualifications." ”

As soon as these words came out, Nie Xiangzhan was stunned for a moment, and said coldly: "Long Jingrou, you'd better be able to defeat that Yuan Dian, when the time comes, uncle, I will definitely entertain you well, if I don't beat your ass, I won't call Nie Xiangzhan." ”

"Don't call Nie Xiangzhan? The two of them snorted coldly at the same time, and each retreated back to its place.

Being ignored by Long Jingrou, Duan He was angry, but when there was a conflict between Long Jingrou and Nie Xiangzhan, he was happy, but when he thought that he was the first to appear, even if he was defeated Yuan Dian, he still had to fight against these two people, and he was also annoyed in his heart.

But now that it was useless to think about these things, he immediately turned to Cheng Kang and urged: "Lord Cheng, let's announce the start of the fight as soon as possible! (To be continued.) )
