The young man standing in the back row came out, causing a lot of noise around him. Many people looked at Qu Li who announced the decision without knowing why.
The king Xuan Hong had already stepped back from the arm-stretching steps. He walked back leisurely, as if he had not heard Qu Li's words at all. Seeing the king's reaction, anyone could understand that this
It was the decision of the country’s leader Xuan Hong.
The selection of medicine belongs to the highest prosperity of the Xuanwu Empire, and the rules of selection of medicine were set from the first time, and have been continued since then. People have gradually forgotten that among the rules of selection of medicine, the king himself has
A power, a seemingly inconspicuous rule.
The number of places for the final competition is fixed. After all, there are only so many counties and cities in the Xuanwu Empire. This has not changed for many years, so the number of people participating in the final competition is also fixed.
When a contestant is unable to attend for some reason, the vacant spot needs to be selected from other people who have not been able to enter the final competition. At this time, the leader of the country actually has the right to confirm this person.
However, those who have been selected for the final competition in previous competitions are like treasures to every family, and any family will protect them at all costs. There will never be such qualified people.
Unable to participate in the final test.
Of course, this does not mean that accidents have never occurred in so many years of competitions, but at this time, various families will fight to compete for this vacant spot. In order to balance all parties, the leader of the country can only use this quota.
The candidates were given to the second placers in the county and city competitions to determine the candidates.
The king of the country, Xuan Hong, was like this. He never really exercised his rights. What people didn't expect was that this time Xuan Hong actually exercised his rights.
"This person is the fifth son of the painter, his name is Hua Ming. I didn't expect that he would be the one to fill Shen Feng's quota."
The middle-aged man named Keta looked at the young man walking out of the stone platform and said casually with disdain. Even if such a person who was unsuccessful in the county can participate in the final competition, the chance is actually not great.
But as long as there is a chance to participate, there is still a chance to compete for medicine. Naturally, other aristocratic families may not be able to agree. The Guihua family naturally has a tacit understanding, but the Su and Yao families clearly show dissatisfaction, which is just a hindrance.
The ruler of the country already has this right, so it is not easy for them to object openly.
The head of the Su family, Su Ying, frowned and looked at Su Lan beside him, only to see Su Lan shaking her head with an ugly face.
Su Ying was not the only person who cared about Zuo Feng. Ni Tianju, the commander-in-chief of the Yao family, and Kang Zhen, the young master of the Kang family, both came to Su's house early in the morning, specifically to check on Zuo Feng's condition.
But standing outside the cave, listening to Zuo Feng's intermittent roar like a ghost crying and a wolf howling, they could only shake their heads and leave with a sigh.
Because Chu Zhao and Chu Nan had said hello that no one should disturb Zuo Feng during his phosphorus removal disaster, they could only watch from a distance outside the cave for a while, and then left after judging that Zuo Feng's condition had not improved at all.
The family that Shen Feng represents is the Kang family. The Su family and the Yao family are very close to the Kang family. Now these three families have not raised any objections, and it is even harder for other families to express their opinions.
Hua Qi looked at Hua Ming walking out of the team with a proud look on his face, glanced at him with a demonstrative look, and then stopped at the end of the team in front.
Looking at Hua Ming's triumphant back, Hua Qi secretly gritted his teeth but did not want to get angry. No one mentioned his name among the painters because he was not one of the group of people closest to the painter.
Although his "Seventh Painting" is the overall ranking of painters, in the eyes of some direct descendants of painters, "Seventh Painting" is like a joke.
In this competition, Yao Zi himself, with the help of Yao Zhen, stood out from the competition in Linshan County and was almost able to successfully enter the competition.
As for Shen Feng's "accident", he also used a lot of strength to deal with it, but in the end, the hard-won spot was given to Hua Ming, the fifth master of Hua. Naturally, he was extremely unhappy.
But now that the painter has been decided, Hua Wu is actually qualified to enter. Even if he gets the last name in the final competition, he will definitely have a good identity and status in the future.
At this moment, the sun is thinking about moving away in the sky. At noon, it is also the time to announce the start of the ceremony. After that, it is the turn of these hot people to start the medicine refining competition. If compared with the ten people in front, these people It’s not much different from the woman who danced before.
It is said that the noon hour is when the sun is in the sky and there is no shadow. It is also the time when Yang Qi is at its strongest, and it also represents the upright and bright time. This is why the time is set at noon.
There is another saying that death row prisoners also choose this time to be executed. When the Yang Qi is at its strongest, the Yin Qi is driven away, and the soul of the person being tortured will be scattered after death.
There is no accurate basis for this statement, but it can also be seen that the time of noon is important.
Qu Li looked up at the sky and then at the shadow under him. It was already very close to noon. Everything was still developing according to their plan. The next step was to wait for the final result of the drug selection. The test results are out.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd, and then there were constant sounds of surprise and suspicion in the surrounding stands, and people's eyes turned to the still open door.
At this moment, the door was roaring and slowly falling downwards. Both Qu Li and the king Xuan Hong thought that people were paying attention to the closed door at first, but after accidentally glancing at it, they were shocked to find out. A thin figure walked out of the stone door unhurriedly.
Before the gate closed, this person had just stepped into the square. The person who could walk out of the gate was the one who was qualified to participate in the competition to select the medicine. At the moment, the only thing missing from the high platform was Chen Shen. Feng, the only person who can walk out of the passage inside the stone gate now is Shen Feng.
If the stone gate is closed, even if Shen Feng comes, there is absolutely no possibility of entering. Walking into the arena from other places will only be dismissed as disturbing the ceremony.
It happened that at this last moment, that thin figure walked out of there suddenly. This person was none other than Zuo Feng, who had qualified for the drug selection competition. At this moment, he was working under the pseudonym Shen Feng in the Xuanwu Empire.
"This, is this..."
Xuan Hong turned his head in disbelief and looked at Qu Li. He did not recognize Shen Feng, so he asked Qu Li at this time.
Although the person below was wearing a large cloak with a hood covering the top of his head, strands of red hair were exposed from both sides, which was Zuo Feng's signature red hair.
"Master of the country, that person should be the boy who participated in the competition on behalf of the Kang family. It should be that... Shen Feng."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Hong's eyes immediately flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly: "Trash, you are all fucking trash, you can't handle such a small thing well."
Xuan Gong's words did not only refer to Yao Tuozi who failed to apply poison, but also to the group of people who failed in the ghost hunting competition.
While the two were talking, Chu Zhao and Chu Nan quietly arrived at the stands next to them. Chu Zhao naturally went straight to the Su family, and after Chu Nan reached the high platform, he went straight to the Wang family.
A woman at the front of the Wang family's team was beautiful and looked to be in her early thirties. She was Wang Yunshi, the marshal of the Wang family. After Chu Nan arrived, he walked straight to the woman's side.
Su Ying, the head of the Su family, and Wang Yuan, the head of the Wang family, although they were in two different areas, asked at the same time: "Has his poison been removed?"
Chu Zhao nodded, hesitated and said, "Although the poison has been overcome, the boy's condition cannot be judged yet."
Chu Nan nodded, then shook his head and said: "Although the trouble of removing the phosphorus poison has been solved, his current physical condition is not very good, and I don't know..."
Qu Li watched Zuo Feng walking slowly towards the high platform, and shouted in his heart: "Who is coming? This is a grand ceremony for selecting medicines. Any trespassers will be removed immediately."
After he finished speaking, the warriors standing outside the high platform who had been looking at Zuo Feng in a daze as he walked up suddenly reacted and rushed towards Zuo Feng.
"Who dares!"
A low, violent shout came out of Zuo Feng's mouth. His voice had become very hoarse. If someone wasn't familiar with him, they might not have recognized the owner of this voice. It was Shen Feng, the ghost hunter who had surrendered a few days ago.
Zuo Feng's voice was low and hoarse, but there was a hint of violent and cold aura spreading in it. Just thinking about Zuo Feng, the six warriors who rushed towards them all froze in unison. At that moment, they felt like a terrifying magical beast, ringing in their ears. Bian let out a bloodthirsty roar, making them instinctively feel a hint of danger.
As the voice fell, Zuo Feng slowly raised his hand and removed the hood on his head, revealing a pale and scarred face.
Her long blood-red hair was spread over her shoulders, and her red hair was still wet with drops of water. But these were not just a few drops, but Zuo Feng's sweat. Every time Zuo Feng took a step, his body would There was severe pain, and he was still holding it back until now.
He slowly turned his head and glanced at the six warriors who were less than three feet away from him. Those warriors were swept by Zuo Feng's gaze, and they all felt a chill.
There was a hint of madness in the coldness of that gaze. Even with the experience of these warriors, they had never seen such a look from a human being.
"I, Chen Feng, come to participate in the competition to choose medicine. I come to participate in the competition."
He exhaled the last four words, forcing his voice out almost like a roar, so that everyone in such a huge square could hear his words clearly.
