Chapter 29 Start of the test
The morning sun looks a little soft. The dew shines in the grass.
The plain has been silent for 20 years, and these days are very lively. In 20 years, it has been rare for people to come here. Now, thousands of people have gathered.
"Dong, Dong, Dong." As three long bells spread in the air, people who were still doing morning exercises quickly ran out of their residences and came to the square.
It's just a cup of tea, and thousands of people gathered on this venue without any chaos. Each village has its own area. They quietly stay in their own area and wait quietly for the start of the conference. The venue was so quiet that even a needle fell to the ground and could be heard.
Every conference, the Holy Land will send people to host it. It's still the same this time.
After waiting for a few breaths, more than a dozen people came out of a manor in the distance. After a few ups and downs, they arrived at the stone platform of the venue.
led by an old man in black, with 15 old men in gray standing behind him. Looking at the respect of those gray-dressed old men, this old man must have a high status.
When Gongsun Xuan saw these 16 people, his eyes couldn't help shrinking. These people are all innate masters. Especially the leading old man in black, his skills are even more profound. Gongsun Xuan felt that the old man's skill was probably higher than his own.
Gongsun Xuan's current skills may not be as profound as those old monsters who have been promoted to the innate realm for decades. After all, he himself has cultivated to the innate realm, coupled with Wang Yinhan's decades of skills and the true qi transformed by the cold qi, such a huge true qi, although he has not been able to step on the third step, is not far away.
The old man in black glanced at the people in the square.
"Gentlemen, I am the elder in the temple. You can call me Elder Mu and come to host this martial arts competition."
"Wow. Elder! He is actually an elder!"
The stage suddenly exploded, and people living outside the Holy Land were very curious about the mystery of the Holy Land. Especially about the legend of the elders, many people have only heard of it, but no one has really seen the elders in the Holy Land. They have all stepped into the third step of martial arts. Usually, these people hide in the holy land to practice martial arts and never come out. Today, I don't know why Elder Mu suddenly came to host this martial arts competition.
"Alas, old Mu, when will there be a temple elder on the island!" When Gongsun Xuan heard the identity reported by the old man, he asked Wang Mu beside him with some doubts.
Wang Mu turned his head and looked at him strangely. After a long time, he said, "What's wrong with you? Haven't you even heard the legend about those old guys?"
Gongsun Xuan shook his head and said that he really didn't know.
"If you want to be an elder in the temple, as long as you take the third step. Elders only care about things in the Holy Land. Outside the Holy Land, they will not intervene.
Looking at the discussion under the stage, the old man in black raised his hand and pressed it slightly to signal the silence under the stage. At his signal, everyone under the stage calmed down and waited for him to speak.
"In the past, no elder came out to host this martial arts competition, and I was the first example. This time, I came out to recruit a few registered disciples among you. However, it is not so easy to be a registered disciple of the old man. First of all, you have to reach the innate realm of strength, and secondly, you have to be able to complete more than two of the three questions I have. Only when these two points are achieved will I be accepted as a registered disciple. The old man entered the holy land to practice.
"Named disciple! Enter the Holy Land for lurking!" These two words excited the old monsters under the stage whose cultivation has reached the innate realm.
Entering the Holy Land to practice is the dream of all island residents. The masters in these villages are no exception. However, they all missed the opportunity to enter when they were young and could never set foot in the Holy Land. This is the rule of the Holy Land. Only when you get a place to enter the Holy Land every time a martial arts competition is held can you enter the Holy Land. In addition, you can cultivate to the innate realm before the age of 30. As long as you cultivate to the innate realm before the age of 30, you can go to the Holy Land independently. There is no other way except these two ways.
Now, an elder suddenly ran out to recruit registered disciples, which is a great opportunity. Can they not be excited?
Although there are many martial arts resources in each village, compared with the Holy Land, it is simply a drop in the sea. That is the wisdom of countless ancestors over thousands of years.
In addition, only in the Holy Land has the elixir that can break through the innate realm. As for what elixir it is, I don't know.
After saying his words, the old man in black said to the two old men in gray behind him, "Jia Yi, Xu You, the next thing will be left to you."
"Yes." Two old men in gray answered.
Originally, they were the ones who really hosted the martial arts competition.
The two sent Elder Mu back to their stands. The two took a step forward and said loudly, "Now, the martial arts competition is just beginning. According to the arrangement of your lottery last night. On the first stone platform are Wangjia Village, Lijia Village, Liujia Village, Zhangjia Village..."
There are a total of five stone platforms, that is to say, every nine villages occupy one stone platform. The participants in these villages compete in pairs, and those who win will have a chance to enter the Holy Land. That is to say, at least half of the thousands of people here have a chance to win the quota.
"Alas, old man Mu, I'm afraid your village can't win another place in this martial arts competition."
Wang Mu was walking to the stand by the first stone platform with the people in his village, and suddenly there was a sarcastic voice on the side. Wang Mu frowned and did not answer. But the others in Wangjia Village were very angry.
"Hmm. What's wrong with you Lijia Village? Wait on the stage to see how our Wangjia Village blows you up!"
"Cut, with your strength, you also want to enter the Holy Land to practice. I think it's better to go home and farm!"
"Oh, I'm so scared. I heard that the people of Wangjia Village only have a few ways to farm. Last time, when I met our Lijia Village, I was beaten down before I passed ten moves. Tut, I see, you still sit there honestly with your tails between your legs, don't go to the stage, and be beaten like a dog.
"Ah ha ha!" A burst of unbridled laughter came from the camp of Lijia Village.
"You..." The people of Wangjia Village showed anger in their eyes one by one and were about to rush over and do it.
"Hey! I said, guys, why are you so impulsive? Isn't it just a few dogs barking at us? Why do you care about them? This dog barks, naturally it is hungry. It seems that the dogs raised in Li's village don't even have enough to eat! Poor! It's amazing! What a pity!" Gongsun Xuan looked at the people on his side being angered and sighed in his heart. Why are these people brainless? Others come to provoke you at this time to make your heart unable to calm down. In this way, they are likely to show flaws when they move, and they have a good opportunity to take advantage of it. At that time, I'm afraid I will really lose to them.
The people in Lijia Village are indeed not very strong, much thinner than the people in Wangjia Village. After being scolded by Gongsun Xuan, he was immediately angry.
"I said, old man Li, if you want to have a plan with our village, I'll see you on the stage. If you are not afraid of violations, just come and do it, we won't counter it!" Wang Mu suddenly turned around with a smile and said to the village head of Lijia Village. In his eyes, there was a trace of praise for Gongsun Xuan.
When Wang Mu said this, the people in Lijia Village really couldn't help it.
There are regulations in this martial arts competition. No one can do it privately during the martial arts competition, otherwise they will be disqualified.
"Kid, wait. When I get to the stage, let's see how I beat you up. A young man from Lijia Village suddenly said to Gongsun Xuan.
"Cut." Gongsun Xuan sneered at it. Joke, he didn't even reach the acquired realm, so he wanted to challenge himself, but he didn't know how to die.
Hearing someone challenging Gongsun Xuan, the people in Wangjia Village all showed strange faces. But they didn't laugh and walked quickly one by one.
As each village found its own stand, the martial arts competition also officially began.
