On the way up the mountain, there was a pavilion. There were several people sitting inside, talking loudly, and their clothes were very miscellaneous. It seemed that except for a few, they were not disciples of Kunling Mountain.
Yu Qing and others noticed the people inside, and those people also noticed them, obviously sizing them up.
The leading disciple waved his hand, and the only disciple in the mountain pavilion who was wearing Kunlingshan costume stood up and came to hand over to him. The former was only responsible for seeing off guests, while the latter was responsible for arranging guests in the area.
Under the gaze of everyone in the pavilion, Yu Qing and others followed the latter and continued to climb the stairs.
The disciple who saw off the guests turned around and was about to go back to wait for the guests when he suddenly heard the sound of breaking wind. He suddenly turned around and turned his head to look around. He saw a man wearing a light yellow gown in the pavilion popping a stone with his finger.
That's all, seeing that it caught his attention, she waved to him.
He knew this man, and he was the one who brought him here. His name was Chan Shaoting.
He has an average appearance, his cheeks are fleshless, his face looks cold and hard, and his temperament is obviously superior to others in the mountain pavilion. In other words, there is an obvious sense of arrogance on his face.
To be honest, the disciples who saw off guests didn't like this way of greeting. They even secretly greeted their ancestors, but they soon put on a smile.
There is no way, he is arrogant and has the right to be arrogant. The owner of the famous "Guijian Villa" in the spiritual world is his grandfather.
Guijian Villa is considered one of the top swordsmanship sects in the entire cultivation world. He, a disciple of Kunling Mountain, is not something he can neglect easily. The reason why he came to this position early is because he brought an autographed letter from his grandfather to the Master of Kunling Mountain two days ago.
You can go to see the head of Kunling Mountain as soon as you arrive. This is not a background that ordinary participants can have.
The owner of Guijian Villa is also one of the notaries invited for this competition, and is also one of the referees.
After seeing off the guest, the disciple entered the pavilion and asked with a smile: "I wonder what Master Chan's instructions are?"
Chan Shaoting raised his chin towards the figures walking up the mountain, "Who is it, also here to attend the conference?"
The disciple seeing off the guests chuckled: "Master Zen, you are joking. If you don't come to attend the conference, how can you be sent to this area? There is a place for idle people to stay."
Chan Shaoting: "Did I see it wrong? Why did I see someone carrying a Xuan-level hard bow? Is it the 'Qiulong Bow' used by Xuan-level great archers?"
Disciple seeing off guests: "It's not surprising. Those four disciples are originally from the 'Long Guang Sect', and they are all archery cultivators. It is considered polite for four of them to bring one bow."
Everyone in the pavilion suddenly looked at each other, and a dark-faced man shouted: "When will the great archer be able to participate in the Chaoyang Conference?"
He is also a disciple of Guijian Villa, and his name is Zhao Qing. He has accompanied Chan Shaoting to attend the meeting, and it also means that he is accompanying him.
The disciple seeing off the guest smiled bitterly, "There is no Chaoyang Conference that stipulates that great archery masters cannot participate. If someone comes to sign up, we can't refuse."
Zhao Qing said in a deep voice: "Isn't this a joke? You don't have to consider the other contestants, you have to consider the onlookers, right? If someone shoots out random arrows without asking anything, wouldn't the onlookers do something random?
Group, is it possible that we have to carry a steel plate as a shield?"
Chan Shaoting calmly interjected, "Okay, I'm just a disciple who sees off guests. He can't be the master. What's the use of nagging him? Aren't you making things difficult for him?" He waved his hand to the disciple who saw off guests.
never mind.
What he said was actually reasonable, but it was a bit unpleasant to say it. Maybe a person of his status felt that it was meaningless to talk in a roundabout way, but it caused the disciple who saw him off to bow his hands in embarrassment and leave.
"Brother Zhao, calm down, calm down, what can you do even if you are a great archer? In this kind of competition, close combat will put the archer at a disadvantage, and the great archer may not be able to take advantage."
The one who comforted him was a long-faced man on the side, a man with a plain appearance and a bright eye, named Xiao Changdao.
He is also a participant. Like the other thin man next to him, he is a non-traditional cultivator. Both of them got acquainted with Chan Shaoting after coming here.
Zhao Qing denied it flatly, "That's not what you said. It looks like he is a Xuan-level archer. If he uses the method of firing several arrows at once, it will be very dangerous at close range. Although there was a life-or-death competition after the Chaoyang Conference.
However, under the eyes of the public, everyone came here for the sake of false reputation, and most of them wanted to point it out, but the arrows shot were not like that, they could kill people at any time."
Chan Shaoting: "The sword in my hand may not be inferior to their arrows."
Xiao Changdao clapped his hands and praised: "Young Master Chan, this is your true spirit."
A skinny little man named Wu Ronggui on the side suddenly said, "With Master Chan here, those guys may have to change places."
As soon as he said this, several people stared at him, waiting for his next words.
However, his eyes were vague and he looked away without saying anything. It gave people the feeling of being a thief and made him feel very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, they have known him for a few days, and they know that it is not because of a guilty conscience, but because this guy has this problem. When talking to people, he always likes to dodge his eyes, and sometimes chuckles as if he has a pearl of wisdom in his hand. I really want to listen.
When he was impressed, he could not say anything in public.
However, the voice is not loud, and it always makes people feel like they are strangling their necks and unable to let go. They speak in a soft voice. If you don’t listen carefully, sometimes you can’t even hear what they are saying. It seems that you can only speak normally when you are one-on-one with someone in private.
, likes to whisper to people behind their backs, giving people the feeling of insufficient yang energy and excess yin energy.
Even they themselves find it strange that such a rare person likes to get close to them.
Seeing that he remained silent again, Chan Shaoting glanced contemptuously from the corner of his eyes and said: "These disciples of the 'Longguang Sect' are not considered to be tough opponents in this competition. I am afraid that a real master will appear this time."
Xiao Changdao chuckled: "No matter how high you can go, you can't have a master in the Xuanxuan realm emerge if your cultivation is limited, right?"
Chan Shaoting's expression became unusually solemn, "It's not what you think, there may indeed be extraordinary people."
Xiao Changdao and Wu Ronggui looked at each other and both saw that this young man was not talking nonsense. Xiao Changdao couldn't help but ask: "What kind of extraordinary person can make you so cautious, Master Chan?"
Chan Shaoting looked around for a moment, and when he saw that there was no one else around, he reminded him: "You haven't heard that Earth Mother has accepted two new disciples in recent years, right?"
Xiao Changdao was slightly surprised, "Just those two legendary female disciples?"
Chan Shaoting nodded.
The other three people looked at each other, Xiao Changdao hesitated and said: "No, Earth Mother's disciples will come to the meeting in person?"
Chan Shaoting: "Maybe they will come. I can't be sure of the specifics. It's just that the elders in the family have occasional contacts with the Sinan Mansion, and I heard some rumors. It is said that the two people may come to see them, to broaden their horizons, to practice their skills, etc.
After all, it is a grand event held only once every twenty years in the spiritual world, so it is normal to come and see the excitement."
Xiao Changdao clicked his tongue and said: "If it's true, think about it. With the miraculous skills they have mastered from the Earth Mother, who can compete with them on the field? The first one, how can anyone else have anything to do with it? They are afraid of right and wrong.
No one else."
Wu Ronggui on the side suddenly smiled softly and whispered, "It is said that those two have not been practicing for a long time, and they may not be very strong."
Zhao Qing said: "That's not what you said. The training time is not long, but the cultivation resources are there. One year is enough to offset the efforts of others in five to ten years. In addition, there are many masters in the Sinan Mansion, and there are many strange people and strangers.
There are so many, no matter what kind of feeding techniques I haven’t seen before, that’s all first-class experience.”
Chan Shaoting hummed, "That's true. Although the cultivation time is not long, the conditions for omnipotence are there. It is said that Zhong Ruochen's cultivation skills are unique among all. He is extremely loved by the Earth Mother, who is also the Earth Mother.
The reason why I accepted him as a disciple at first glance may be to obtain the true inheritance of Earth Mother's mantle. How could such a person not be strong?"
Xiao Changdao sighed, "You already have such knowledge, why do you come here to broaden your horizons? When these sisters come, I am afraid they will shake the entire Chaoyang Conference."
Chan Shaoting waved his hand, "I've thought too much. I won't use my real name to participate. Most people won't know if they come. After all, I haven't met many people, and the ones I know probably don't have an average status. They won't.
Make public."
Xiao Changdao was surprised, "Can you still come to the Chaoyang Conference under your own name?" After speaking, he laughed at himself, "Yes, there are some rules that can restrain us, but they are ineffective for people of that status. If you don't make it clear, just make it clear.
It’s just for the benefit of other contestants.”
Wu Ronggui chuckled lightly, "Naturally, so as not to make the person fighting against him unable to let go."
Chan Shaoting turned around with his hands behind his hands, looking quite fascinated and expectant. He sighed melancholy, "I am eager to fight with her. Even if I lose in her hands, it will be a worthwhile trip."
Zhao Qing: "You have to meet them. People may not live in this area. If they are in other competition areas, you have to stand out from the local area to have a chance to meet them."
Chan Shaoting tightened his lips and nodded.
Wu Ronggui chuckled again, "I don't know what Zhong Ruochen looks like, but he would be abandoned by the most talented man in the world."
Upon hearing this, Chan Shaoting suddenly turned around and shouted harshly, "Who do you think you are? You know nothing about her. Is she someone you can mock?"
He had actually met the two sisters. He also met the two sisters accidentally when he was traveling with the elders in his family. It was a rare opportunity. It was love at first sight, but he couldn't reach them. The difference in status was really too great.
He could only look up at it from the corner, and was not even qualified to approach it without permission. In his eyes, it was truly an indestructible fairy-like thing.
Xiao Changdao hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "Young Master Chan, don't be angry. It's just a private discussion. Friends don't have that much respect in private."
Wu Ronggui smiled in a humble and mysterious manner...
A few people were still wandering slowly on the stone steps going up the mountain.
Yu Qing, who had followed him up the mountain, was experienced in choosing a house, especially when he was in the same situation as when he went to Beijing to take the exam. He just wanted to hang out and didn't really want to become famous all over the world.
Just because the situation was similar, Yu Qing, who was looking around, had random thoughts for a moment, and a kind of uneasiness flashed in his heart. He wouldn't win the first place again this time, right?
After thinking about it, another faint smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, secretly laughing at myself, feeling that I was thinking too much.
This is an open martial arts competition. If I feel that I am not strong enough, I can give up and quit the competition at any time. I will not force myself. It is completely different from the last time I went to Beijing to take the exam.
