December 24, 2017

In the afternoon, the square in front of the Qingkong Martial Arts was already crowded.

The audience who were preparing to enter the venue with tickets, the melon-eating crowd who could not buy the tickets and could only wait for the projection of the water curtain in the big square. The scalpers selling scalpers were scattered in the gaps of the crowd, and they actively arrested the law enforcement team members of the scalpers with talisman armbands and Yuan magnetic sticks. The hawkers who were pushing a food truck and selling snacks at high prices ten times the price were countless people, together they turned the originally spacious space into canned food.

A can full of enthusiasm and complaints.

"Oh my God, when will the opening ceremony start? Why do I feel that half a year has passed!"

"Can we enter the venue first? We're almost thrust. We have first-class tickets. Can we enter the venue first?"

"Damn you can do whatever you want if you have money! Are our under-the-shoulder tickets just paper?"

"It's a hell. I remember eight years ago, the contractor in this square said that he would use fairy art to expand this place into a blessed land of caves to facilitate the accommodation of more people during the grand event. Later, he applied for funds from the management committee and finally fed the dogs!?"

"It seems that it is a magical art of expanding space, which will distort the spiritual veins around the earth and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, produce bad radiation, and cause various incurable diseases. During construction, it will be left alone."

"Damn it's mentally retarded!"

This is the case on the ground, and the several entrances in the air for monks to use were also warmly stuffed by a group of monks from all over the world. Among them, there were some ancient monks who were cold-hearted and used to living in seclusion in the mountains and forests. But now, in order to watch a competition of Qingyun, they have to enjoy the pleasure of rubbing against strangers.

With so many people, especially a large number of immortal cultivators with good cultivation and amazing strength, squeezing together in such a limited space, Qingyun City naturally has to use the greatest strength to maintain order. Around the square, more than 20 great monks above the Paishan Realm suppressed the entire venue with the star array outside the Qingyun competition field to ensure that there will be no safety problems.

By the way, based on the hotness of the atmosphere in the field, the true energy is released in time, and the power of stars is used to secretly apply light hypnosis to the people in the field, so that they can feel inexplicably happy to offset the unhappiness of the environment.

As for the few people with weak willpower, influenced by the power of stars and combined with the principle of suspension bridge effect, they find strange pleasure in the shoulders and contempts with strangers and become addicted to it. They can only be said to be a small episode in the tide of history.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, just as the star array was about to suppress the crowd, a loud bell sound stirred up at the main entrance of the Qingkong Martial Arts Field, and two light green doors slowly opened. At the same time, dozens of entrances around and in the air were opened at the same time.

The competition venue has finally started.

About half an hour later, most of the people who had previously crowded in the square had disappeared, leaving only some melon-eating crowds who had not bought tickets and could only watch free water screen projections.

Through the huge water curtain dozens of feet long and wide on the main entrance of the competition venue, the pictures in the competition venue were projected in real time.

The venue for the opening ceremony was in the main arena of Qingkong Martial Arts. It was a perfect circle competition venue with a diameter of hundreds of feet. Tens of thousands of auditoriums surrounded the venue. From the picture, it looked like it was crowded.

A huge countdown number floated above the site, and when the water curtain screen on the outside of the site was lit, the number had become 10.

A few seconds later, the countdown ended and the opening ceremony officially began.

A green sword fell from the sky like a meteor, cutting off the last 0 and piercing deeply into the ground.

At this time, the focus of the picture shifted to the ground, and I saw a piece of barren and dry land. The green sword that was not at the handle was still trembling slightly, digesting the aftermath of the sky. After a moment, with the trembling, the green sword melted into water-like greenness, seeping into the dry soil around, making the earth rejuvenate.

The plants and rivers took shape one by one, and then all kinds of creatures, birds and beasts appeared in the field one after another, until finally, humans began to gather here to build their own homes.

At first it was a thatched cave, a circle of simple and thin wooden fences circled a shabby territory. As time passed, the circle began to expand rapidly, and the buildings in the circle became more refined and grand, and the number became more and more numerous. The wooden fences became thick walls of bricks and stones, and eventually evolved into an invisible array of immortal arts. During this period, there were various natural disasters, and at the worst, almost half of the city was destroyed, and everything else had to start from scratch. However, no matter how much suffering they suffered, the people of this city never gave up hope, and a hint of green will always stand on the earth.

This is the history of Qingyun City from scratch. Every time during Qingyun Competition, there will be such a scene, reminding future generations of how hard-won Qingyun City is today.

After the establishment of Qingyun City, there was a history of stars. The initial land reclamation team, the heroes and martyrs who have repeatedly saved the deaths in the two thousand years of history, and the pictures of countless predecessors flashed through the picture like a carousel lantern.

Finally, we came to the Qingyun Competition. The scene of the previous champions followed the heroes of Qingyun City.

The early days just flashed, and the more you went, the clearer the picture became. The recent five champions used exquisite pictures to show the essence of their lives and the wonderful moments when they won the championship. In addition to the pictures, detailed introductions were also attached in texts in multiple languages.

The champion of the Qingyun Competition in 1957 was Li Daogong, a genius of the Li family who died young. In the finals, he defeated his opponent from the Lu family with his exquisite dragon-tooth sword technique with a crushing attitude. The 19-year-old Li Daogong has a unique understanding of dragons, and his own dragon-tooth sword has not been able to find a qualified inheritor until today.

Unfortunately, Li Daogong died in a chaotic place due to a careless expedition shortly after winning the championship. His fall also marked the rise of Li Fengyun during the decades of the continuous decline of the Li family. He once saw the hope of ZTE, but like Li Daogong, he stopped moving forward due to an unfortunate situation.

Amid the people's discussion, the picture came to the 1977 champion He Yiruo, and the young master of Jianzhuang, He Quan, Qingyun City, is also the current owner of Jianzhuang. This person is extremely talented, but due to his family background and lack of opportunities. Although he was very talented in his youth, he ultimately failed to advance to the peak of the mainland. Of course, a Jianzhuang, which is almost a grass-roots team, has developed into a top ten sect in Qingyun City in decades. He Yiruo has already deserved the title of champion and the gift from the envoy of the Holy Sect at that time.

Then there were the 1987 champion Lu Huang and 1997 champion Lu Yin, a pair of brothers with 11 years apart. In the Lu family courtyard, these two were of ordinary origin, but had extraordinary talent and perseverance. With the Lu brothers Lu Huang, the Lu family was once expected to achieve an unprecedented three consecutive championships. It was also when the Lu family was at its peak and had the closest influence to the Li family. When Li Fengyun was full of energy and his reputation swept the Xiangzhou continent, the two champions of the Lu family greatly preserved their reputation. However, in 2007, the genius monk who had high hopes for the Lu family lost to Li Tingshu, who was a casual cultivator. After the game, the Lu family made a lot of money to buy Li Tingshu and joined the Lu family. The dream of three consecutive championships was shattered.

Finally, time came in 2017. After Li Tingshu's avatar disappeared, a blurry and hazy figure appeared, symbolizing the undetermined champion of this year.

Under the huge virtual image, several slightly clear outlines appeared faintly. They are the most popular celebrity contestants, such as Li Wanqing, Qian Ye, Lu Fangchen, etc., among them.

As the picture changes, the discussions of tens of thousands of viewers in the venue continue to continue. The fans shouted at the contestants they supported, constantly shaking the fluorescent candles, gradually pushing the atmosphere in the venue to a hot topic.

Just as the girls were desperately shouting Wang Jiu and Li Wanqing, a slightly lonely figure appeared in the middle of the venue.

The next moment, the light focused on the man, shining like silver on his simple white robe, and his scattered hair and beard were stirring with the wind, showing a bit of vicissitudes.

At the same time, the man's picture was magnified and projected directly above the site, so that everyone in the site could clearly see it.

That was the head of the Li family in Qingyun City, Li Fengyun, and also the chairman of the organizing committee of this Qingyun Competition.

"Wow, it's Li Fengyun! I didn't expect that he is really alive!"

"Yes, I thought he had already died long ago. I heard that he was sad after losing his beloved more than ten years ago, and he rarely appeared in public since then. There have been news that Li Fengyun had actually died long ago. Now Li Fengyun is a substitute specially found by the Li family to support the storefront. In fact, the Li family's great power has long been divided up by his brothers and wife."

"Ahh, I have also heard of this. It is said that the person who manages the Li family compound is not Li Fengyun at all, but his wife Lu Xin. If Li Fengyun is really alive, he would not have been delegated to this point, right?"

"Hey, look, he is quite handsome. Although he looks a little old, the mature uncle is also good."

"Can you care about something useful?!"

Just as countless audiences were talking, Li Fengyun scratched his head and cleared his throat.

Suddenly, his voice spread throughout the audience and even the whole city through the talisman seal.

"Well, good evening everyone, welcome to the 74th Qingyun Competition in 2017. I am Li Fengyun, chairman of the organizing committee of this Qingyun Competition. According to the system process, I need to give the opening speech below. However, I am a person who is not used to it and likes to be distracted. If I suddenly wander around in the sky halfway through reading it, it will be very rude to everyone, and it will also affect my personal image. Xin'er also said that if I dare to be distracted in such an occasion, I will certainly not want to be hungry for a month if I don't give me food for a month, but this speech has been polished several times and is really outrageous. After thinking about it, I was really not sure that I could read the whole process without being distracted, so I would just show the speech and read it yourself."

After saying that, Li Fengyun spread out a thick stack of manuscript paper and displayed it above the field with projection spells. After that, he completely ignored the uproar inside and outside the field, lowered his head and wandered out of the sky. After a while, he turned around and left the crowd with tens of thousands of people in the field behind him.

On the rostrum, a petite and delicate woman in gorgeous clothes fainted without saying a word.

But at the same time, the audience's thunderous cheers gradually sounded in the venue.

"Good job, Master Li!"

"This is the cultivator! Those bureaucrats who only speak for one or two hours are worthy of being called cultivators!"

"Those who do not speak human words and take up the time of the masses will die!"

"Li Fengyun, I want to give birth to you!" (.)
