Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. Apparently they all found the ridicule interesting and believed that it was impossible to win the title of leader of the conference by drawing lots.
The three brothers Yu Qing were also among the laughers, and they also thought it was ridiculous.
Colorful decorations, incense burning, three animal sacrifices, a scene full of ritual feeling, but because of the unruliness of these people in the world, the sense of solemnity was lost.
No matter whether everyone laughs or not, no matter how noisy the scene is, and no matter whether everyone accepts it or not, drawing lots is a necessary process, and because drawing lots is relatively fair, it can minimize criticism.
Wu Tian cast a spell and shouted loudly, "Everyone, please be silent. Those whose names are read, please come up and collect your belongings."
He pointed to the tray brought by the people around him. There was a pile of brand-new darts on the tray. It looked like a newly forged thing. Each dart was engraved with a name. The names of all the contestants in Dingyin District were there.
, meaning there are a total of eighty-nine darts in the tray.
Wu Tian casually picked up a dart from the tray. After reading the name on it, he shouted to the audience: "Gao De Shan."
"Here." The man in the audience raised his hand in response, then jumped out and landed on the stage.
Wu Tian smiled and gave him the dart.
Gao Deshan took the dart in his hand and looked through it curiously. He saw that the dart was not sharp, only sharp.
Wu Tian stretched out his hand to signal him to go down first, then took out another dart from the tray and said loudly again to the name engraved on it: "Lu Qi."
Someone from the crowd immediately flew up to the stage, holding the escort in hand for inspection as before, and then he was also invited to go down.
Wu Tian called out names one after another, and the audience came up to the stage one after another to receive darts with their own names.
There was no deliberate arrangement of who was in front and who was behind. It was just that Wu Tian casually took the darts from the tray and called out whose name he got the dart. In this aspect, who went first and who came last had no impact on the test, so no one cared.
There were more than eighty people, and soon, each received a dart with his own name.
Standing on the side of the stage were several Kunling Mountain disciples with expressionless faces. They were all supervisors sent by the Kunling Mountain Sect to supervise the entire lottery process.
The oldest leader is named Sun Lianxing, who is in overall charge of Dingyin District. He has a straight face and an unsmiling look.
After confirming that the darts had been distributed in place, Wu Tian walked towards them, cupped his hands towards the leader Sun Lianxing and said: "Uncle Sun, the darts have been distributed in place, and the lottery can officially begin."
Sun Lianxing looked at the noisy participants. After all, he didn't say anything. He just looked at Wu Tian with a cold look, as if he was dissatisfied, but he still nodded lightly and turned his head to his side.
The attendant said: "Place the lots."
The other supervisors bowed slightly and followed him, walking behind the background wall panel erected on the stage.
A group of participants in the audience were a little curious and wondered what those people were doing behind the background wall.
As the main host, Wu Tian was also watching behind the background wall, and saw the supervisors opening the suitcases brought from the sect.
The process is very particular. Because there is a sealed seal, you must confirm again and again that the seal has not been opened before opening it.
When the lid of the box was opened, a pile of beautifully crafted wooden signs neatly stacked inside were revealed.
The wooden plaque is engraved with numbers on one side and the emblem of the Chaoyang Conference on the other. In fact, it is not carved. Judging from the black burn marks, it is obvious that it is a deep mark made with a red-hot iron.
The process of making these signs is not complicated, it is very simple. The reason why they are not made here, but are specially made and brought from the sect, is to prevent someone from cheating. Once people remember the texture and texture on the wooden signs,
With numbers, it is indeed possible to cheat.
In addition, Kunling Mountain disciples and participants here have a lot of contact, no one can guarantee that there will be no problems, and precautions are inevitable.
"Don't show the numbers."
Sun Lianxing suddenly pointed at the Kunlingshan disciple who took out the number plate from the box and shouted.
The disciple who accidentally made a mistake quickly corrected his mistake and did not dare to reveal the numbers on the wooden sign when he took it out.
Wu Tian, who was watching, could only lament the strictness of his uncle. The wooden signs would be arranged out of order later, so it wouldn't be so serious, but he couldn't say anything.
Just as he thought, after the wooden cards were taken out of the suitcase, one person immediately shuffled, shuffled, and stacked the cards quickly.
After shuffling until no one knew the original order of the wooden cards, the man backed away from the pile of wooden cards.
Sun Lianxing then raised his chin and said, "Hang it up as required."
Immediately, two people carried the board with the wooden signs on it and walked to the background wall. Another person quickly took the signs one by one and hung them on the background wall.
There are a lot of nails driven into the back of the background wall, and the wooden sign hangs on it. It is upside down and sticks to the wall.
There was obviously a thick layer of something smeared on the back wall.
The technique of hanging the wooden sign is also very particular. It cannot be seen by others, and the person who hangs the wooden sign cannot see the numbers on the sign. It is obviously rehearsed before the official draw.
There were only eighty-nine signs. Although it only took one person to hang them, it was completed quickly.
In order to prevent someone from cheating and to prevent too many people from getting involved, the fewer people, the better.
After the sign was hung up, all the people involved in the sign went to the edge of the backstage, turned their backs to the sign, closed their eyes, said nothing, and were not allowed to make any movements.
At this time, Sun Lianxing said: "Turn over."
Someone immediately stepped forward, unplugged the latches on the pillars on both sides of the background wall, and turned the background wall around. It turned out that the huge background wall was actually a reversible movable wall panel.
After the background wall was flipped over, the bolts were re-inserted to secure it.
At the front desk, a group of participants began to point at a bunch of signs hanging on the background wall. They had just received the competition rules of the conference, and knew that the number behind the sign would determine their opponent in the competition.
You will decide your own fate in the competition.
There was a lot of discussion, but no one knew how lucky they were.
The reason is simple and everyone can understand it. If you encounter a weak opponent, you will naturally take advantage.
If you can draw the remaining number, that would be even better. As I joked before, you can advance without any competition.
As long as they come to participate in the competition, I am afraid that few people will not want to pick up the cheap one.
Pairs of eyes were staring at each wooden sign, trying to see something interesting, but they couldn't see anything. All they could see was the emblem of the Chaoyang Conference.
Not to mention them, even Yu Qing, who had practiced the Guanzi Jue, looked and looked at it, but couldn't see anything interesting. He could only smile secretly, flipping around with the darts with his own name on it, waiting to see his luck.
Facing the heroes from all over the world who came to attend the meeting, he was not absolutely sure, so he could only greet Long Xingyun's mother secretly in his heart.
However, to a certain extent, he was vaguely looking forward to it. Although he was forced to compete, he also wanted to take the opportunity to meet the world's heroes.
After his cultivation reached the Xuan level, he actually always had the feeling that he wanted to take the initiative to find trouble with others, and wanted to test the strength of the Fengchen Sword Technique that he had practiced under his current cultivation level.
However, he went astray as soon as he debuted. Either the characters he came into contact with were too high-level and he didn't dare to mess with them, or he was too embarrassed to hide and hide. Basically, he never found a suitable place to use himself.
This time, I had no choice but to do it half-heartedly.
Of course, everyone also understands why this special lottery method was developed.
The people present are not ordinary people, they are all monks, each with their own way of practice. The method of making a bunch of lots and stuffing them in a black box for everyone to draw is not safe for the monks. They can secretly use magic to detect the contents of the lots.
The possibility is still very high.
In short, it is necessary to keep a certain distance between a group of monks and the lot to be drawn, and not to let them have any chance of contact with the lot, otherwise it will be easy to take advantage of it. It is safest to let these people draw the lot from a distance.
Everything was ready, and Sun Lianxing in the background said to Wu Tian again: "Let's get started."
Wu Tian bowed, walked out from the backstage, walked to the front of the stage, and said loudly to the crowd: "Everyone, please be quiet. Please listen to me."
When the scene finally calmed down, he loudly said again: "You have got the rules of this game in your hands, and you must have understood the rules of the draw. Is there anyone who is unclear? Please speak up if you are unclear.
Tell me and I will answer your questions."
All the participants in the audience looked around, but no one said a word for the time being.
After waiting for a while, when no one responded, Wu Tian said again: "No one has any doubts, so I will assume that everyone knows the rules of the draw."
He turned around and pointed at the signs hanging on the background wall behind him, "Use the darts everyone has in hand to shoot at the sign above. Only one dart can be inserted on a sign. After the sign is hit by the dart, the one who draws lots after that is not allowed to shoot again. If the sign is hit,
It has no effect. Please use moderate shooting force and don't destroy the sign intentionally.
Also, I want to ask, from a distance of about five feet, there won’t be any of you who can’t even hit an empty sign, right?”
As soon as these words came out, someone immediately shouted: "Don't worry about it. If you can't even hit this, I don't think you need to participate in the competition anymore, right?"
"hehe……"
There was another burst of laughter, and they all thought it was a joke. How could the monks who came to participate in the Chaoyang Conference not even be able to hit a sign as big as five feet away?
Wu Tian looked at everyone's reactions and saw that there was no objection, so he stopped dwelling on the issue and immediately said loudly: "Let's officially start. Please follow the rules and form a big circle with him as the center!"
He pointed his hand behind the crowd and pointed at a Kunling Mountain disciple standing in the open space.
Everyone immediately walked over sparsely, and after taking some time, they formed a large circle that was not so round.
Seeing that they were surrounded, the Kunling Mountain disciple standing among them waved his hand and said: "Please, everyone, please walk from west to north. Please, everyone, please take me as the center and walk in circles from west to north. Yes, just walk like this. Please walk a little faster."
point."
"Dong dong dong dong dong..."
Suddenly the sound of drums came from the backstage, and the drum beat gradually became more intensive.
A disciple from Kunling Mountain carried a long pole and inserted it outside the rotating circle.
Wu Tian also spoke up again, pointing to the long pole and saying: "Please follow the rules of the lottery. When the drums stop, everyone also stops. The one who gets the immediate results first!"
