The three old men came to the front of the square. At this time, everyone noticed the three of them and knew that the next round of competition was about to begin. Naturally, those who were reading and eating stopped.
Zuo Feng did not get up, but kept sitting still in the training posture, and glanced in front of him with his eyes half-open. Zuo Feng was now ready to risk his life. The opponent would do anything no matter what, and even if he wanted to hide, he would not do anything.
There is no way to escape, the only way is to use soldiers to cover up the enemy.
The old man surnamed Gao put down the big bag in his hand, and then said: "Just now I suggested that everyone sit down and practice for a while, but some people suggested that the competition should be completed as soon as possible. So we will conduct the second round as soon as possible.
selection, and if it goes well, the second round of selection may be the last one."
After the old man surnamed Gao finished speaking, everyone started discussing in low voices. Previously, the old man surnamed Gao said that everyone should rest for an hour, but now that the two-quarter hour has not yet arrived, they proposed to start the competition immediately. What happened today
Everyone was a little puzzled by the incident, but those who were interested turned their attention to Zuo Feng.
Zuo Feng sat there calmly. After Mayor Gao finished speaking, he and two other old men opened the bag and distributed the items inside.
I saw Mayor Gao taking out the same small bag from the first game. The person who got it first had opened the bag, and you could see that it contained the same medicinal materials. Following closely behind was another small bag.
A mayor, according to Su Yan, is probably the one who is better at refining medicine, and is the person in charge of refining medicine and other matters in the town.
What this person took out from the big cloth bag were several types of utensils, including metal bowls, porcelain plates, wooden boxes, etc. Zuo Feng had slowly opened his eyes at this time and looked at the distributed containers and medicinal materials.
I don't know what these old guys are going to do this time, and I don't know what methods they will use to deal with me.
Soon the medicinal materials and utensils were delivered to Zuo Feng. The two mayors glanced at Zuo Feng with evil smiles on their faces, and then quickly left his place. Because Zuo Feng was in the most remote area.
corner, so he was the last to get these things.
Opening the small cloth bag and taking a look, there was no difference between the medicinal materials placed inside and those of others, and the container in front of him was also the same. Zuo Feng didn't understand what the competition was about, so he could only wait quietly.
The last item is delivered to your hand.
Mayor Lin had the largest cloth bag in his hand. He started to take out some of the items in his hand and distribute them to everyone after the two mayors had finished distributing them.
When Zuo Feng saw the items he gave to the young man named Cheng, he already guessed the content of this round of competition. However, Zuo Feng felt that this round of selection seemed too simple.
Because the things that the city lord surnamed Lin took out were a wooden barrel, a brush and a tray made of woven rattan. It can be said that Zuo Feng was very familiar with these things.
It was in Ye Lin's Zuojia Village that Zuo Feng saw Zhuang Yu using these items for the first time. Because at that time Zuo Feng had lost all his cultivation and was unable to practice due to physical reasons. At that time, Zhuang Yu proposed to teach him
The method of mixing medicine, and the tools in front of him were the same things he used on the first day of learning.
For nearly a year, Zuo Feng had to deal with these utensils almost every day, and these were the objects used to process medicinal materials.
The young man surnamed Cheng looked a little surprised after getting these utensils, but then he looked at the city lord surnamed Lin opposite with a wicked smile. The two looked at each other and smiled, and they both saw what the other was thinking. Then the two
At the same time, he turned his head and looked meaningfully at Zuo Feng at the edge of the square.
The two men were looking at each other with evil intentions at this time, which shocked Zuo Feng. For a moment, he didn't understand what bad intentions the two of them had in mind. In the meantime, the city lord surnamed Lin quickly withdrew his gaze and spoke again.
The same utensils were distributed to the two brothers and sisters surnamed Duan.
The two people seemed to be very familiar with these utensils. They held them in their hands and played with them casually, as if they had a very intimate feeling with these utensils.
Then Zuo Feng looked at the others and found that the other contestants had their brows furrowed and looked at the equipment of the three people in front of them with a somewhat sad expression.
'These three guys obviously understand something, but the others seem to be very embarrassed. Is there something I don't know about the use of these instruments? It seems that the 'medicine' must know some secret methods to deal with it.
Medicinal materials. The city lord surnamed Lin is called their nephew by them. He should also be a member of the 'Medicine Sect', so he knows that only these three people understand the use of these utensils.'
Thinking about this in his mind, Zuo Feng was a little anxious, but he couldn't see much change on his face. He was still observing the old man surnamed Lin expressionlessly. As he spoke, the big bag in his hand also changed.
It became more and more shriveled until he walked to Zuo Feng, took out the last pile of items in the package and placed them on the stone table.
At this time, Zuo Feng and the old man surnamed Lin looked at each other. There was no emotion or anger on Zuo Feng's face, but the old man surnamed Lin sneered and whispered: "Boy, you shouldn't have come to participate in this Tushan Town event."
The three places here have been determined for the competition."
After saying that, the old man surnamed Lin turned to look at the three women surnamed Duan in front of him. Without any further explanation, Zuo Feng already understood who the three people he was referring to were. But after Zuo Feng heard this, he calmly said
: "This competition is also very important to me. No matter what, I must be the one to advance. There is no room for negotiation on this matter."
After hearing this, the old man surnamed Lin suddenly burst into laughter. This movement immediately attracted the attention of many people, including those around the square who were watching the selection of medicinal herbs.
Then the old man surnamed Lin lowered his voice and said with a sneer: "Boy, it would have been okay for you to go through the first round of selection, or even pass the second round. But you are too ignorant, and you are not familiar with it.
The girl you're with is so ignorant that she wants to use a piece of gold cake to bet on a fight, so don't think that I will let you advance."
Zuo Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. Although there was anger burning in his heart, and he even wanted to smash the old guy's face with a punch, in the end he still held back and did not explode.
Seeing that there was no change in Zuo Feng, there was no outburst of anger, nor was he begging as hard as he had guessed, which greatly exceeded the expectations of the old man surnamed Lin.
If Zuo Feng breaks out here, then he can be sure that this young man and that woman must have a good background, and there is no need to put them in the eyes at all. And if Zuo Feng begs hard, it proves that he has nothing behind him
background, you don’t need to take it into consideration.
But the other party is so calm now, which makes the old man surnamed Lin feel something is wrong. But now that the relationship between the two parties has developed to this point, there is no room for change. The old man surnamed Lin's eyes stayed on Zuo Feng's face for a moment.
, and finally gave a cold "hum", turned around and walked towards the bottom of the high platform.
Mayor Gao and the woman surnamed Duan were all observing here, but except for the burst of laughter from the old man surnamed Lin, they heard nothing. They saw that the old man surnamed Lin had already sent the last things to everyone.
In his own hands, Mayor Gao stood up again and said loudly.
"I think most people should be clear about this round of competition, which is to process all the medicinal materials and then store them in different containers. Everyone is here to participate in the competition to select medicinal materials. I don't think so.
You don’t even know this, so I won’t say more. Time is one stick of incense, so if it is not completed before the stick of incense is burned, it will also be regarded as a failure in the competition.”
As he spoke, Mayor Gao took out an incense stick the thickness of his little finger from his sleeve and lit it, and said at the same time: "Now, please take the time to complete the content of the competition. Oh, by the way, the water you need is right there.
"
As Mayor Gao said, he pointed under the stands, and six strong men came over holding six large tanks filled with water, and then placed the water in the stands.
Zuo Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. At this time, all the contestants were concentrated at the front. The people in the middle of the number who were close to the mouth were basically eliminated in the first round. He is now the farthest from the high platform in front, and he is also the one who takes the water.
The most inconvenient one.
Although they also have a small bucket in their hands, if they want to process so many types of medicinal materials, they must repeatedly fetch water. In this way, Zuo Feng will be delayed several times in the process of fetching water.
But what makes Zuo Feng even more depressed is that he still doesn't know where the real way to deal with medicinal materials is. So now he can only try his best to observe, but the time is indeed limited to one stick of incense. The value of this stick of incense
The time is long or short. It can be imagined that this should also be researched by those three old guys.
When the three women surnamed Duan moved in, they had already gone straight to get water, and other people also rushed forward to get water. But the young man surnamed Cheng stepped forward and walked out of the two brothers and sisters surnamed Duan.
Everyone else was stopped by him.
Although everyone was dissatisfied, no one wanted to really conflict with him. Firstly, the young man named Cheng had a special status, and secondly, the young man named Cheng himself was much higher than others in cultivation. So these people could only
After waiting patiently for the three of them to get water first, they went over to get the water back.
Zuo Feng did not move even half a step from beginning to end, but had been silently observing the actions of the three of them. Zuo Feng's actions were also clearly seen by the three old men under the high platform, but after seeing this, the three old men
There was joy on his face.
At this time, there was a busy scene in the competition square, but there was only Zuo Feng on the edge, as if someone had hit the acupuncture point halfway, poking there motionless like a piece of wood.
