Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu followed the crowd into the grand and spacious Yuqing Palace. Standing in the hall, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt as if his memories of the past five years were being replayed.
"Jingyu." Zhang Xiaofan suddenly whispered.
"What?" Lin Jingyu looked at Zhang Xiaofan.
" I suddenly remembered something." Zhang Xiaofan said in a low voice." Have you seen Second Uncle Wang in the past few years?"”
Lin Jingyu's face darkened. He shook his head and said,""No, today is also my first time returning to Tongtian Peak. Three years ago, I asked Qi Hao about Second Uncle Wang's situation. He said that he was still as crazy as before and ran around Tongtian Peak all day. However, with the senior brothers of the main sect taking care of him, there should be no problem.”
Zhang Xiaofan was silent for a while before he finally said what was on his mind,""After this competition is over, I want to go and see him.”
Lin Jingyu nodded and clapped his hands. He made up his mind and said,"Okay, I want to see him too."
At this moment, a green figure suddenly flashed in the hall. This person was the head of the three pillars of the righteous path in the world, the Perfected Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect, Perfected Dao Xuan. Then, Daoist Dao Xuan turned around and said to the dozens of Qingyun Sect young disciples standing in the hall with a pleasant expression,"Everyone is here, right? Good, good.”
All the disciples bowed and said,""Greetings, Immortal Sect Master."
Daoist Dao Xuan smiled slightly and walked back to his seat. He glanced at Daoist Cang Song. Daoist Cang Song, the elder of the Qingyun Sect, immediately walked forward and said in a clear voice,"Everyone, you are all outstanding figures of the younger generation of the Qingyun Sect. It has been more than 2,000 years since our Qingyun lineage was established. We are the orthodox Daoist and the leader of the righteous path. However, the ancients had a saying: industry thrives on diligence, leisure on play. There is also a saying: sail against the current, do not advance or retreat. In order to warn the future generations and guide the younger disciples, our sect's ancestors passed down the grand event of the Seven Lineages Martial Competition.”
" Ah!" exclaimed the Qingyun Sect disciples. The 20th session, calculated in terms of one cycle of 60 years, was 1,200 years. Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to say that the Qingyun Sect had a long history!
Daoist Cang Song looked at everyone's reaction and was very satisfied. He said,""Today, under the leadership of our sect master senior brother, our Qingyun Sect has prospered and far surpassed our previous life. There are countless outstanding people in the younger generation. Therefore, after the discussion between the sect leader and the heads of the various branches, the number of people in the examination was increased to sixty-four to avoid regret.”
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly smiled and couldn't help but look at his master, Tian Buyi. Tian Buyi was sitting below Daoist Dao Xuan with an expressionless face, but there was a look of impatience in his eyes. After all, Daoist Dao Xuan and Daoist Cang Song were the ones who had the final say in increasing the number of participants. And he even said it so magnificently! Of course, if the little demoness 'Bi Yao' who had snuck in knew about this, he was afraid that the reputation of the leader of the righteous path would be tarnished by her!
"The number of people in this test has doubled, so there are some changes in the drawing of lots." Daoist Cang Song continued. "Everyone, please take a look." As he spoke, he pointed to the empty space on the right side of the hall. Everyone looked over and saw a big red wooden box placed there. It was square, and there was only a small hole on the side that allowed one arm to enter.
"There are a total of sixty-three wax pills in that mahogany box. Each of them is wrapped with a note with numbers from one to sixty-three written on it."
All of a sudden, there was a commotion among the disciples. Daoist Cang Song ignored them and said,""After the drawing of lots is completed, the number will be used as the basis for the competition. Number 1 will fight against 64, number 2 against 63, number 3 against 62, and so on. In the second round, the winner of number 1 and 64 will fight against the winner of number 2 and 63, and so on until the final battle. Do you understand?"
The Qingyun Sect disciples standing in the hall were silent for a moment. Suddenly, someone shouted,"Martial Uncle Cang Song, there are 64 people, but why are there only 63 wax pills?”
Daoist Cang Song seemed to be prepared for this question. He coughed and said,""The rules of this competition are that each of the seven lineages of the Qingyun Sect will send nine people, and the main sect will send one more person. However, cough cough, because one of the lineages only sent eight disciples in total, there is one less person, so there are only sixty-three people.”
For a moment, everyone's gaze fell on the face of the Great Bamboo Peak's Chief, Tian Buyi. A look of anger flashed across his face. That's true! This old thief, Ashen Pine, was really too much. How could his master not be angry when he blatantly " tricked " his master?
Everyone whispered to each other. Zhang Xiaofan smiled and said goodbye to Lin Jingyu. They returned to their respective peaks and prepared to draw lots. Someone patted her shoulder again. Zhang Xiaofan thought that Lin Jingyu had something to say, but he turned around and saw his " junior brother " who he had knocked down on the square! Moreover, Xiao Hui was very loyal and had 'defected!'
As expected, he valued women over friends!
"Junior Brother, we meet again!" Zhang Xiaofan smiled bitterly.”
"Little Demon Girl," Junior Brother smiled and said,"Yes, Senior Brother, we meet again." Oh right, Senior Brother, I think your monkey is quite interesting. How about lending it to me to play with?”
"As long as Xiao Hui doesn't object, I'll lend it to you for a few days." Zhang Xiaofan smiled bitterly.”Zhang Xiaofan kept a respectful distance from this " Missy of the Demonic Sect "! If she could get rid of her, so what if Xiao Hui lent it to her for a few days? Anyway, this little monkey was very clever! He wouldn't be kidnapped, so what was there to be afraid of? As long as this " young lady " didn't come looking for trouble again, Zhang Xiaofan would thank the heavens.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaofan had agreed immediately, Biyao's " little demon girl " was quite puzzled. Then, she heard Zhang Xiaofan remind her in a low voice," Junior Brother, pay attention to the fragrance of your essence. It's a little too strong!"”Her face was slightly red. She clenched her small fist and was about to hit someone when she realized that someone had already used the time just now to return to the main group of Big Bamboo Peak. She glanced at her surroundings, which had gradually quieted down, and could only give up with hatred.
After everyone calmed down, Venerable Cang Song said seriously,""However, this isn't a difficult matter. Among the sixty-three wax pills, as long as a disciple draws one, that disciple will be extremely lucky. Because there is no opponent for number sixty-four, he will get a bye in the first round.”
As soon as he said this, there was another uproar among the Qingyun Sect disciples. However, the Qingyun Sect was a famous sect after all, and their upbringing was very strict. Although this method seemed quite funny, no one objected.
Daoist Dao Xuan stood up and looked around. As the sect master, he was instantly silent. Daoist Dao Xuan nodded and said,"In that case, everyone go and draw lots."”
In the hall, everyone's eyes fell on the mahogany box. First, ten disciples from the Long Gate walked out and walked to the box in turn. Each of them took out a wax pill. Then, it was the disciples from Longshou Peak.
Lin Jingyu greeted Zhang Xiaofan and walked out as well. Zhang Xiaofan glanced at his back and then looked at the seven heads of department and the elders. Among these people, Daoist Cang Song, Daoist Tianyun, Shang Zhengliang, Zeng Shuchang, and the other heads of the various lineages, he had already met them five years ago. Only the female Daoist nun sitting on the last chair on the right had never met before. However, from the looks of it, she was most likely the famous Master Shuiyue of the Small Bamboo Peak.
Zhang Xiaofan often heard his senior brothers mention this martial uncle. He heard that Little Bamboo Peak was the only sect in the Qingyun Sect that only accepted female disciples. Master Shuiyue was also very skilled and famous in the Qingyun Sect. And the disciples from Small Bamboo Peak had also performed outstandingly in the previous Seven Lineage Assembly martial arts examinations.
Zhang Xiaofan took a few more glances at Master Shuiyue. She was about thirty years old, similar to his wife, Su Ru. She had an oval face, thin eyebrows, and a nose. Her almond-shaped eyes were bright and bright, and she was dressed in a moon-white Daoist robe.
Behind her, there was no elder standing. Instead, there was a female disciple. She was dressed in snow-white clothes and had an extremely beautiful appearance. She carried a long sword on her back. The sheath and hilt were sky blue in color. The color was bright and there was a faint light flowing. One look and one could tell that it was an immortal treasure. Not bad, not bad. This female disciple is Lu Xueqi, Senior Sister Lu, whom Zhang Xiaofan met in the bamboo forest. The sword on her back is the immortal sword that is most suitable for the Qingyun Sect's mountain-suppressing divine sword, the Thunder-controlling True Spell, among the Nine Heavens Divine Weapons--Tian Ya!
Zhang Xiaofan was lost in his thoughts when Lu Xueqi's Senior Sister Lu suddenly turned around as if she had sensed his gaze. Her eyes were like lightning as she stared at Zhang Xiaofan coldly. He put on a smile as if he was "playing"!
Zhang Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat as if he had been electrocuted. He smiled bitterly and sighed," Oh no, I've been recorded."”He quickly lowered his head and stopped looking at her.
At this awkward moment, someone suddenly reached out and pulled him. Tian Ling 'er said,"Xiao Fan, why are you in a daze? It's our turn to draw lots.”
Zhang Xiaofan smiled awkwardly and said,""Yes, yes." As he spoke, he didn't dare to look at Master Shuiyue, let alone Senior Sister Lu Xueqi. He turned around and followed Tian Ling 'er to the mahogany box.
At this moment, only the two factions of Big Bamboo Peak and Small Bamboo Peak had not drawn their lots. The people of Big Bamboo Peak, led by Song Daren, walked to the side of the box in turn, took out the wax pills, and then walked back to the hall.
After that, when everyone was checking what number they had drawn, the eight female disciples of the Little Bamboo Peak, Wen Min, were among them. Lu Xueqi, who was standing behind Master Shuiyue, lowered her head and said to Master Shuiyue. Master Shuiyue nodded and said,"You should go too."
Lu Xueqi nodded and walked to the group of women from Small Bamboo Peak. She smiled at Wen Min and the others before walking to the side of the mahogany box and pulling out the last nine wax pills.
At this moment, in the hall, all the disciples were checking the wax pills. The elders and heads of departments sitting at the top couldn't help but become nervous. They all stared at their disciples, hoping that their disciples would draw a good lot. If they drew the note with the word " one ", it would be the best.
As if responding to the feelings of the masters, the young Qingyun Sect disciples in the hall spoke one by one,"Ah, I'm twenty-six."
"I'm thirty-three. Eh, what's yours?”
" Oh, I'm No. 59. I wonder what number my opponent is. Let me calculate…"
……
However, after looking at the disciples talking for a long time, no one said that they had drawn the precious number one note.
Daoist Cang Song frowned, coughed twice, and said loudly,""Who drew lot number one?"
His voice was so loud that it suppressed all other voices. The hall was silent. Zhang Xiaofan looked at Old Thief Ashen Pine and mocked him in his heart,"Old Thief, don't be in such a hurry."
After a long time, he finally removed the paper that wrapped the wax pill. There was only one stroke on the wax pill. This wax pill was naturally the "extremely lucky" number one ball that Cang Song had mentioned.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the number on the wax ball and smiled. He thought to himself,"As expected." Then he used the tone of Mo Zhongxu (the devil) who was asking for a beating and teased,"Yo yo yo? Could this be the legendary character?”
A voice suddenly attracted the attention of the crowd. In an instant, everyone's gaze fell on this unremarkable disciple of the Big Bamboo Peak. Tian Buyi and Su Ru exchanged glances, and Su Ru smiled and nodded.
The people of Big Bamboo Peak were all smiling as they surrounded Zhang Xiaofan. Lu Daxin patted Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder heavily and said with a smile,""Brat, I didn't know you were so lucky!”
Zhang Xiaofan scratched his head and stuck out his tongue, but he didn't think much of it. In fact, when he broke through to the realm of controlling objects, he had sorted out a useful rest rule in his memory of the Ghost Calendar. There was another rule, which was about drawing lots, and he really got the " No. 1 " of the round.
Du Bishu suddenly patted his head regretfully and said,""If I had known earlier, I would have made a bet on who drew the number one lot. Hehe, it must be a big upset, a clean sweep!”
" Go, go, go." Tian Ling 'er spat at him and turned to congratulate Zhang Xiaofan.
As the saying goes, when someone is happy, there will be someone who is happy. Those who failed to get the number one ball. Some were envious, some sighed, and some were jealous, angry, unwilling, and hateful! Of course, most of them were depressed. There were also a group of people who thought that their cultivation was profound and did not think much of it, such as Qi Hao.
Other than Song Daren and the others, who were also from Big Bamboo Peak like Zhang Xiaofan, our " Little Demon Girl " Biyao was hugging the little monkey, Xiao Hui. She pouted and a smile flashed across her face. Her face was slightly red as she muttered in her heart," Xiao Hui, your master is really lucky." However, he's a big idiot." Then, Zhang Xiaofan's words appeared in his mind again. He did notice me, but why didn't he report me? Doubtful joy?
Lu Xueqi's reaction was much simpler than the " little demon girl "'s complicated feelings. She actually smiled when she saw Zhang Xiaofan's " annoying " expression. The senior sisters of Little Bamboo Peak couldn't believe that this cold junior sister actually smiled, and it was so beautiful! Lu Xueqi's smile disappeared and she looked cold again.
However, other than the people of Big Bamboo Peak, Lu Xueqi, and the 'little demoness' Biyao, most of the people were like the old thief Cang Song, feeling puzzled.
What kind of tone was this kid using? His expression? It made him want to punch her. Moreover, you want to say that you have a good character, but you're mocking us for having a "bad character"?
At this moment, Daoist Cang Song frowned and said loudly,""Alright, since the drawing of lots has been completed, all the disciples will come to me later and report your names according to your lot numbers. After that, you will use the red list to post your names. Now, please speak, Sect Leader Senior Brother."
When the originally noisy disciples heard that Sect Master Daoist Dao Xuan was going to come out and speak, they all quieted down. Daoist Dao Xuan stood up from his seat and slowly walked in front of everyone. He swept his gaze across the disciples and then said some extremely motivating and boring words. He even announced that the final victor would have a small 'reward', which was the Six Directions Mirror.
The Six Directions Mirror was a magic treasure passed down by the sect's 10th generation ancestor, Daoist Master Wu Fangzi. It was one of the sect's rare treasures. It was extremely powerful and had a magical effect. As long as the user's spiritual power was strong enough, the Six Directions Mirror could reflect all attacks and thus remain invincible. Of course, the prerequisite was that the user's spiritual energy was " strong enough "!
