The two embarked on the journey again, heading towards Shanyue City according to the direction the city lord told them.
They passed several cities along the way, but neither of them had time to stop. After all, if they missed this selection, they would have to wait another five years to join the Holy Flower Palace.
Finally, the two of them arrived at Shanyue City.
Compared to Hong City, Shanyue City is more than ten times larger. It is indeed the center of Shenghua Palace and is indeed prosperous.
Moreover, there were obviously a lot of people in the city, and the streets were bustling with people. At a glance, it was clear that they must be participating in this selection. All the 307 cities under the rule of Shenghua Palace had selected people to participate.
The formal selection has not yet begun, but there is already an atmosphere of secret rivalry in the city, and everyone dislikes each other.
A wave of open and covert fighting has already begun before the selection of the competition.
However, this fight can only be carried out in secret. Because the Shenghua Palace has expressly prohibited fighting in private before the selection begins.
The reason is that regardless of whether the selection is successful or not, everyone is a citizen of the city ruled by Shenghua Temple, and such internal fighting is just self-destruction.
"Let's find a place to stay." Long Jin and Ye Huayue said, after all, there are still a few days before the selection starts.
The two found an inn, and by chance, they had the last room left.
"Shopkeeper, I'll take care of all your sex work!" Before the two of them could move, a voice said from behind.
Turning around, I saw a man walking in with a bunch of people.
The shopkeeper said quickly: "Objectively speaking, it's really a coincidence that all the guest rooms have just been occupied."
Someone immediately behind the man said: "No, we have almost traveled all over the city, but we still can't find a place to live! I don't care, I can't run anymore, I won't look for it, I have to live
Here!" After saying that, he sat down on the ground.
Ye Huayue knew by heart that this person was really a rogue. Who could come to participate in the selection of disciples of Shenghua Temple and not be a master? How could he be tired after running through a city?
Ye Huayue didn't want to pay attention to them and was about to walk upstairs with Long Jin.
"Wait a minute -" the man who led the way in suddenly shouted at the backs of Ye Huayue and Long Jin, then turned to the shopkeeper and said: "You said the upper room was gone just now? It was because these two people occupied it.
?"
The shopkeeper nodded in agreement.
"Then let them give me the room!"
Ye Huayue and Long Jin turned around and looked at the man coldly. The man met their gazes without fear, but after just a moment of confrontation, he felt something light up his back and hurriedly looked away.
opened.
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed and said: "This, this is objective, they only have one room, and it is not enough to accommodate so many of you! What's more, they came first, I am embarrassed to ask them to rent it out!"
"
"First come first served doesn't matter! I'm willing to stay in your shop, young master. That's your blessing!" The man stretched out his arm, pushed the shopkeeper aside, and spoke to Long Jin and Ye Huayue.
"Which city are you two from?" the man asked arrogantly.
Long Jin and Ye Huayue sneered in their hearts, but did not show it on their faces, and replied: "Hongcheng."
As soon as he said this, the people brought by the man burst into laughter.
"Hongcheng? Hongcheng actually sent people to participate in the selection again. Is it to show off our strength?"
The man laughed enough and said to the two of them: "Since we are from Hongcheng, what qualifications do we have to stay in the hotel? Obediently give me the room and go back to your Hongcheng!"
Originally, Ye Huayue and Long Jin didn't actually need to stay in the room at all. If they were replaced by others, they would have given up. But why should these people give up?
Ye Huayue squeezed her fingers and said, "It seems that I can move my muscles again."
The shopkeeper saw this gesture and quickly came out to stop him, "Girl, no, fighting with each other is prohibited during the selection period! And... if you strike first, they will be justified, and you will be disqualified.
"The last sentence was said to them by the shopkeeper who deliberately lowered his voice.
Can't fight? That would be too frustrating!
Do you just have to swallow your anger and let it go?
Of course not!
After giving Long Jin a wink, the other party immediately understood what thoughts were popping up in Ye Huayue's little head.
Okay, then let's play with her.
When no one noticed, the eyes of these guys suddenly became distracted.
Suddenly, the leading man knelt down and kowtowed to Ye Huayue and Long Jin, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I'm sorry, I was wrong..."
The other person slapped himself, shouting: "I'm a pig, I'm shit, I'm an idiot..."
There were two other people who beat each other.
"You're the only one who wants to enter the Holy Flower Palace? Why don't you take a pee and look in the mirror!"
"The person least qualified to enter the Holy Flower Palace is you. With your three-legged cat skills, you still dare to come out and embarrass yourself?"
"What did you say? I've tolerated you for a long time!"
"It's just that I've tolerated you for a long time. I've long disliked you!"
Of course, there are also people who just stand there without moving, but if you look carefully, you will find that there seems to be something in that person's eyes that is fighting against something.
It's a pity that I couldn't fight in the end. I could only make a normal sound and fainted on the ground.
Ye Huayue shrugged, unable to resist mentally, this was the result.
Seeing that everyone in the room was going crazy like crazy, Ye Huayue and Long Jin walked upstairs leisurely.
"You girl, you still like to play this trick. Remember you used this trick in the academy competition, right?"
"Hey, it's a useful trick, it doesn't matter how many times you use it."
As soon as they took two steps, the shopkeeper stopped them.
"You two, you have caused a big trouble!" the shopkeeper said sadly, "It is forbidden to fight!"
Ye Huayue stretched out her two hands and waved them in front of the shopkeeper, "Look, my hands are here. Where did I make a move?"
After that, he ignored the shopkeeper and went upstairs with Long Jin.
Not long after, the group of people downstairs began to return to normal one by one. Those who were fighting and kowtowing stopped and stood up from the ground.
Although they were out of control of everything that just happened, they still clearly knew what they had done.
"Damn it, I fell into the opponent's illusion!" the leading man said angrily.
What a shame and humiliation. Kowtow and kneel down to those two people in front of so many people? It’s really humiliating!
What's more important is that he actually felt like he was under an illusion!
Are those two people so mentally powerful? When did such terrifying people appear in Hongcheng!
Having lost all their humiliation, the group had no shame in staying in the inn any longer, so they left in a hurry.
It seems that today they can only find a small forest and set up camp.
"Brother, let's just forget it?" A man in the team asked the leading man.
"Forget it, what can you do?" the man asked.
"Of course I want revenge!"
The man sneered and glanced at the man sarcastically, "You don't even know when you fell into the illusion. Fortunately, you have the nerve to say this. After all, you are also a magician, and your mental strength is not bad.
Bar!"
The man's expression turned ugly after being scolded, "Brother, if you just tell me, Xu Qiang is directly an illusionist, so he fainted."
"You still said that!" The man glared at him.
After a moment of silence, he said, "But we must avenge this. But now, fighting is prohibited in the city, so we can only take action during the selection."
"But brother, didn't you just say that? Those two are very powerful."
"So what if we're powerful!" The man said sternly, "We were just unprepared and fell into their trap! We won't let them succeed so easily next time! What's more... there are so many of us and there are only two of them.
, can you please make some progress!"
The person who was scolded scratched his head. He was the one who said he wanted revenge at first, right? Anyway, he was the one who got scolded in the end.
The days were approaching day by day, and finally it was the day to select disciples for Shenghua Palace.
"We will find out what the selection method is today." Ye Huayue said to Long Jin, and the two of them walked out of the inn.
"Yes, let's go to the square in front of Shenghua Temple now."
The Shenghua Palace is really a palace, occupying a large position in Shanyue City, and there is a vast open space in front of the palace.
However, although the open space is not small, I don't know if it can accommodate the people who came from more than 300 cities.
When Ye Huayue and Long Jin rushed there, there were already many people in the square.
When everyone was almost there, the door to the Holy Flower Hall finally opened.
A woman walked out of the Holy Flower Palace and floated into the air.
"All the disciples participating in the selection this time have heard clearly. The location of this selection is set to be Pagoda Island. All you have to do is try your best to get to the higher island. Now, let's go!"
The woman's voice was obviously amplified in order to be heard clearly by everyone present. It floated and amplified, so she seemed to be a magician.
The woman also pointed out the location of the Pagoda Island, and a huge group of people began to rush there.
In the team, there was a constant buzz, and everyone was whispering.
"This year's rules are really strange!"
"Yeah, if I hadn't already known the rule of not preparing anything, I wouldn't have been able to help asking."
"Isn't that right? In previous years, there would be a limit on the number of people, which would cause fights between disciples, but this year there was no mention of it."
"And there's no time limit. We just want to get to the top. With everyone running up there, there's no need to worry about fighting!"
"Yes, yes, there is no limit on the number of people, so how do we know whether we have won or been selected?"
