Among the twelve peaks of the Yuxu Sect, there is a floating island, which is usually guarded by the elders of the Sect. It is said that this floating island is opened once every ten years for the peak masters to compete, and the rest are the peaks of the sect.
Contest.
On the floating island, there is a circular open space several meters high, in the shape of a round cone. There is no decoration on the stage, only the traces of competitions left by the predecessors. This round stage is the place where the sects compete - Dou.
Sendai!
Around Douxian Terrace, a layer of light shrouds Douxian Terrace, and this layer of light is the barrier set up by the elders protecting the sect of Douxian Terrace with their own strength. The function of this barrier is, on the one hand, to prevent floating islands.
It is damaged due to strong impact. On the other hand, it also prevents people with ulterior motives from cheating.
Looking not far away from Douxian Terrace, a tall tower appears in front of us, standing on all sides of Douxian Terrace. Although it is called a high tower, it is actually a formal attic. The attic is wide enough for hundreds of people to stand side by side.
Directly below the attic is a two-story vermilion door. The door nails are made of red gold and are as big as a fist. The pillars of the attic are as thick as two people hugging each other.
From the outside, it looks like there are only five floors, but if you enter the attic, you will find that there are eight floors, and each floor corresponds to the eight hexagrams of Qian Kan Gen Zhen Xun Li Kun Dui.
The walls of the attic are printed with red bricks and gold tiles. Several dragons are gathered and intertwined on the wall, winding and circling, looking lifelike and converging on the wall. The carvings on the top of the attic are even more exquisite and beautiful. The Douxian Terrace embellishes the four directions of the attic.
Underneath, it also looked mighty and majestic.
This pavilion is called Wangxian Pavilion. From the pavilion, you can have a panoramic view of Douxian Terrace.
Jiang Ziyao, who was wearing a long robe, was sitting on the pavilion, looking down at the competition ground. However, some of the eleven chairs next to him were empty.
"The sect master came so early, which puts us to shame!" Zuo Ziqing came to Jiang Ziyao's side with a kind expression on his face.
"Who says it's not the case? You are the leader of the sect and you have no airs at all."
The speaker is Zhou Jingshan of Burning Flame Peak. He has a strong physique and a wild voice. The rough calluses on his hands are the marks left by years of forging. As you can see, the peak he is in charge of is mainly for weapon refining.
With the arrival of the peak masters of each peak, the deacons of each peak also led their disciples to the surroundings of Douxian Platform.
In fact, the number of people is not as large as expected. This competition is all about selecting those with strength after competing on each peak. Disciples with low cultivation levels are not qualified to go to the floating island at all.
Yin Hexuan squeezed through the crowd and looked around for a long time before finding Su Ming, who was squatting in the corner reading a book.
"Senior brother, Lao Yu hasn't come back yet!"
Su Ming took the letter back into the ring and said, "Zongbi, it seems he won't be able to come back this time."
"How could it be possible? He is Zishu of Ningxu Peak, the person most likely to take over the position of Master Han. There is no reason for him not to come back." Yin Hexuan was a little confused and sighed involuntarily.
"I feel like there's something wrong here. I'll have to check it out after Zongbi passes." Su Ming frowned and said in deep thought.
"Senior brother, are you thinking too much? Maybe something happens to Lao Yu and he won't be able to come back." Yin Hexuan looked at Su Ming and said.
"Yesterday, I asked the disciples in the peak and heard that Buguang was probably investigated by Master Han half a month ago. He will not be back until a month later. But by then, arrangements for the competition must have begun."
Su Ming shook his head, clearly rejecting Yin Hexuan's point of view.
"Quiet!"
"Considering the large number of people participating in this competition, the competition will be held by drawing lots. Each jade slip has the marks of the heavenly stems and the four elephants. Four people who have drawn the same heavenly stems will form a group, and the order of the competition will be determined by the heavenly stems.
The beginning of A.”
"Rules of the competition, one: no eye penetration, no kicking, no maiming, no killing. Once discovered, the competition will be void. Two: The two sides do not fight and are deemed to have abstained. Those who are not called will be deemed to have abstained and will fall to the ground.
Those who hit the target will be deemed to have given up. Three: Both sides are unable to take action due to exhaustion, and the one with the most hits wins."
"Now, the three-year competition officially begins."
The person speaking is Du Zidan, the master of Wugou Peak. He is an upright person, fair and informal in his work, has superb painting skills, and has the strength of the Martial Saint Realm in his cultivation. He is the only one among the peak masters who can be the judge.
From the twelve peaks, the deacons of each peak led ten disciples to the lottery box. Only Ningxu Peak was missing one person. They lined up in a long queue and drew the jade slips one by one under Du Zidan's gaze. These more than a hundred people,
After waiting in line for a long time, it was Su Ming's turn.
What Su Ming didn't expect was that as soon as Su Ming put his hand into the lottery box, a jade slip fell into Su Ming's hand.
When Su Ming took out the jade slip and looked at it, he found that there were no marks on the jade slip, and all he saw was a blank space.
"Senior brother, senior brother, that's the group you drew." Yin Hexuan came to Su Ming's side and said.
"See for yourself."
With that said, Su Ming brought the jade slip to Yin Hexuan and asked him to check it.
"This, this is a bye? How lucky!"
Yin Hexuan also couldn't believe it. After all, the chance that more than a hundred people would get a bye was only one percent, or even lower.
"What about you? Which group are you assigned to?" Su Ming didn't think much, just looked at Yin Hexuan and asked.
"It's the first game, Jia Qinglong. Senior brother, don't worry about me, my group is very easy."
Su Ming saw the smile on Yin Hexuan's face and could tell that this game was not a big problem for him.
"Senior sister, look, it's Senior Brother Su. Would you like to go over and say hello?" Xia Yiqiu pointed in the direction of Su Ming and said.
"It's better not to do it. If we go, it will only cause trouble for Senior Brother Su." Yan Yufei said slowly.
The two of them glanced at Su Ming from a distance, then turned to prepare for the game.
"Senior Brother Su, you are here too!" Du Nianxi ran over from the crowd.
Her shiny black shawl hair was fluttering in the wind, and her delicate nose was beneath her longing phoenix eyes. She was wearing Tianxuan Peak's unique robe, but it was difficult to conceal her pure and pure temperament.
"Why are you back?" Su Ming said with a smile.
"Look at what you said, as if I shouldn't come back."
Du Nianxi pretended to be angry, but was really stunned by Yin Hexuan beside him.
"I made a mistake, okay, welcome back." Su Ming said with a wry smile.
"That's pretty much it."
Seeing Su Ming and the two chatting and laughing, Shen Xiyao, who was standing in the distance, had eyes full of jealousy. She couldn't help but wanted to ask, but was stopped by Yan Yufei, who was standing aside.
"She and Senior Brother Su have known each other for a long time, and it is different from what you imagined." Yan Yufei said softly.
After hearing Yan Yufei's explanation, Shen Xiyao had a trace of doubt in her eyes, as if asking how she knew.
