Chapter 63 Hundreds of Schools of Thought
There is no Jiazi in the mountains, and the world has been there for thousands of years. For those who practice in isolation, time always passes quickly.
When Su Jianming finally understood the essence of the flame trick, nine days had passed. That is to say, today is the period of the ten-year period that many monks in the real world have been looking forward to for a long time - the struggle of hundreds of families.
After washing up, Su Jianming hurriedly prepared to go out to find Yan Qiu and the others to participate in the competition, but finally they were told that they had left the holy land yesterday and went to the place of the competition, that is, the huge island where the disciples of Yaoshan's disciples lived. I guess it's because Su Jianming's retreat is not over yet, so I left first.
When Su Jianming came to the huge island of the competition, it was already crowded. Originally, there were more than 20,000 Yaoshan disciples on the island, plus representatives of various factions who came to participate in the competition and those monks who came to watch the competition. At this time, there were at least 100,000 people on the island.
The Yaoshan disciple who sent Su Jianming knew that Su Jianming was a distinguished guest in Yaoshan. When he heard that Su Jianming was looking for someone from Mingjian Villa, he personally led Su Jianming to find it.
Although Mingjian Villa is now occupied by others, its status is still not comparable to that of ordinary sects. Yaoshan still arranged the people of Mingjian Villa in a separate compound with four door-to-door specifications. When Su Jianming found the compound, the people of Mingjian Villa were discussing something in the hall. As soon as they heard that Su Jianming was back, Liu Yan hurriedly ran out to welcome him.
Su Jianming is walking back outside the courtyard at this time. The so-called hometown is even more important. He is also mixed now. I don't know what to say when he meets people later.
But when he saw Liu Yan rushing out, his heart suddenly stopped wandering. He hugged Liu Yan fiercely with pear blossoms and rain. He didn't say anything and hugged her so tightly. At this moment, thousands of words can't match this deep hug! After a long time, Su Jianming reluctantly let go of Liu Yan and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. The two looked at each other and did not want to separate for a moment.
Liu Yan is thinner than three years ago. She looks weak and doesn't look like a monk at all, which makes Su Jianming extremely distressed. However, Liu Yan also has a unique charm. Su Jianming looked at it quietly and didn't realize that she was crazy. Liu Yan, on one side, saw that Su Jianming had grown into a real man for several years. She stroked his strong chest, and her little face blushed drunk and did not want to let go.
Fortunately, others also came out at this time. Hearing Liu Qian cough, the two relaxed awkwardly.
Seeing that the master and all the elders were there, Su Jianming hurriedly knelt down and said, "Master, the apprentice is not good enough to worry the master and the elders!"
"Ha ha, just come back, get up, go in and talk," Liu Xingyun said with a kind smile, then helped Su Jianming up and looked carefully. Yes, it's more and more like your father. You have suffered a lot over the years. Don't blame the master, do you?
"Jianming dare not. A lot of things have happened in the villa over the years. Jianming only hates that he has not been able to share his worries with the master!" Su Jianming replied respectfully.
"Okay, it's worthy of being Liu Xingyun's apprentice. Let's go in and talk. I know you must have suffered a lot in the hands of that blood demon. After this battle of hundreds of schools, I will definitely avenge you as a teacher!"
Su Jianming hurriedly said, "No! Master, the blood demon senior is very good to me. You don't have to avenge me. I have suffered a lot outside, but I don't hate the blood demon predecessor!"
"Do you call him a senior?" Liu Xingyun frowned and said, "Do you know why he is called Blood Demon?"
"Jianming knows, but those are all in the past. In fact, I don't think the blood demon seniors are bad at all. On the contrary..."
"Enough! A few days ago, your brother said that you had changed, but I still don't believe it. Now it seems that you have really become good or bad, and you don't know whether good or evil. Kneel down!" Liu Xingyun roared.
"Master, I..." Su Jianming still had to refute, but when he saw Liu Xingyun's angry face and did not dare to disobey him again, he knelt down according to his words.
"Dad..." Liu Yan, who was beside him, wanted to ask for love, but saw Liu Xingyun's big sleeves and went into the inner room.
The rest of the people followed in. Only Liu Qian's brother and sister were still standing outside. Later, Liu Qian also told them to go in, leaving Liu Yan still standing beside Su Jianming. After a while, she saw that her father had not asked Su Jianming to wake him up, so she also knelt down with Su Jianming. Su Jianming turned his head to look at her, persuaded her, and stopped talking, and both of them knelt straight there.
Originally, it was a good reunion, but it turned out to be like this. Su Jianming didn't know what was wrong with him. However, he did not dare to blame the master. Anyway, Liu Xingyun was always his master!
......
After a while, a disciple from Yaoshan came to invite Liu Xingyun to the stadium to watch the ceremony, and everyone discussed it again and followed the disciple to the arena. When passing by Su Jianming, Liu Xingyun still didn't let him get up. He just said that Su Jianming would get up after thinking about what was wrong.
Su Jianming knew what the "wrong" that the master asked him to think was, and he just couldn't communicate with evil spirits. But he didn't think it was wrong, so although he understood Liu Xingyun's meaning, he didn't get up.
......
When it was almost noon, Liu Qian came back. He pulled up Su Jianming and Liu Yan and said, "Don't kneel. I saw that my father has written your name in the competition. Come and go to the arena with me!"
"But I..." Su Jianming wanted to win glory for the competition at Mingjian Villa, but he didn't want to get up, because he admitted that he was wrong when he came together. But now that he has got up, how could Liu Qian let him kneel down again? Involuntarily, the two were dragged to the field.
......
Along the way, Liu Qian carefully told Su Jianming about the rules of the game.
It probably means that each sect selects those under the age of 30 to participate in the competition before the Jindan period or above. Before the game, the monks will be randomly dispersed into ten groups, and each group will fight internally first to select the best 80 players at one time.
Then put the remaining 800 players together to select the best 80 players again.
The last remaining 80 people will draw two or two draws, and the losers will be eliminated directly. After three rounds, there will be only ten people left.
These ten people will draw lots again to select the top five and the last five.
At this time, the top five will have to wait for the last five to decide the first place, and then let the first of the last five draw a lottery with the top five to determine the top three.
In the end, there will be a round robin. Those who win two games in a row will be the first, and those who win and lose one will be the second place.
There must be some unfairness in the whole game, but in general, it can still reflect the strength of each class.
When Su Jianming arrived at the venue, the number of participants had been determined, with a total of more than 9,000. Coincidentally, Su Jianming and Liu Yan were divided into the same group - the third group. Liu Qian's seventh group. What surprised Su Jianming most was that he actually heard that Ma Hu and Song Linger, who went to do the foundation-building mission with him seven years ago, were also in the third group. Now Su Jianming was happy. With so many acquaintances together, he was not afraid of being besieged by other sects.
After all, in a melee, you can't just have strength. No matter how good your strength is, it will be in vain in the melee of hundreds of people. So in fact, this initial melee is quite advantageous for those sects with more participating disciples.
......
The place for the competition has been determined, and the rest is about the players, but they can't take action today. They have to go back to prepare for a day, and tomorrow is the time for the official competition.
After returning to the compound where Mingjian Villa lived, Su Jianming honestly went to plead guilty to Liu Xingyun. He has already thought about it. After all, the master, even if he doesn't agree with his point of view, there is no need to fight against him. Let's talk about it after the 100-family competition.
He is now arguing about those hundreds of families, but he is also looking forward to it!
