Chapter 269 thorn
"For the sake of fairness, the test starting from tomorrow will be held in the order of drawing lots. Wait a minute, I will take out a box with 200 wax pills, in which there is a sealed note with numbers from one to two hundred. Everyone who defeated the group can take a wax pill from it. After drawing the numbers, the comparison will be based on the numbers on the note. Take No. 1 vs. 200, No. 2 vs.199, No. 3 vs.198, and so on. In the second round, the winner of No. 1 and No. 200 vs. 2 and No.199, and so on, until the final decisive battle.
"Among them, each disciple is only allowed to participate in one competition every day. That is to say, the whole decent alliance exchange conference will end on the eighth day.
After saying that, Li Jianfeng brushed the snow-white beard on his chin with satisfaction and looked at the people under the stage expectantly.
The 200 disciples of various sects standing in the square were silent for a while, and suddenly someone shouted, "Excuse Uncle Li, if the test is like that, won't there be a disciple every day without having to participate in the examination?"
When the man asked this question, the eyes of more than 2,000 people in the audience gathered again on Li Jianfeng, and his eyes were full of doubts.
As the disciple said, if the test is conducted by drawing lots, only 50 disciples from all walks of life will participate in the test to decide the top 25. The top 25 winners will participate in the next day's test. Twenty-five people, in groups of two, can only be divided into twelve groups, so that one person is left to automatically advance, and the same is true on the fifth and sixth days.
You should know that every monk who can fight for the fourth day has gone through a hard battle. If everyone else fights with blood, and one of them will automatically advance because he has no opponent, isn't it unfair to other winning and losing monks?
Li Jianfeng smiled when he heard the words, and an unpredictable expression appeared on his face. He said lightly, "Luck is also a manifestation of strength. If you can get a vacant quota in the fourth, fifth and sixth three days, it only means that you have good luck, and others can only envy you. Besides, isn't it a kind of luck that a monk didn't embark on this road because of his spiritual roots?
As soon as Li Jianfeng's words fell, not only 200 people in the square, but also more than 700 people who were eliminated and nearly 1,000 people watching the competition in the air were silent. Everyone's eyes flashed with the light of thinking. Obviously, Li Jianfeng's words gave them a deep understanding.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Jianfeng did not urge, but with a smile on his face, he slowly brushed his snow-white beard with his right hand and waited for the crowd quietly.
Half a day.
I don't know which disciple woke up and looked at Li Jianfeng eagerly. For a moment, everyone woke up and looked at Li Jianfeng with eager eyes.
Li Jianfeng is right, and luck is also a manifestation of strength.
Looking at the reaction of the crowd, Li Jianfeng smiled with satisfaction. With a wave of his right hand, a white light shot out from the cuff of the wide Taoist robe and slowly hovered over the square.
Everyone squinted and looked up, only to see a five-foot square gray wooden box floating in the air in the not very dazzling white light. Everyone could not see what the wood of the box was, but they clearly saw a small hole in the box that could only be stretched in one arm.
The box of drawing lots!
Everyone's eyes lit up, and their eyes were full of eager light, as if they wanted to see through the box. Among them, many monks quietly released their divine consciousness and wanted to find out in the box. However, before their consciousness approached the box, they were disturbed by the strange smell around the seemingly ordinary gray wooden box and could no longer move forward. That breath is not like a formation prohibition, but like the natural breath of wood.
This box is weird!
Those monks who released their divine consciousness were shocked. When they looked at Li Jianfeng again, their eyes were a little guilty, but more of them were awe from the bottom of their hearts.
The Shushan faction is really worthy of being the top of the decent five sects. It's just a box for drawing lots.
Looking at everyone's reaction, Li Jianfeng narrowed his eyes and smiled. As a strong man in the divine realm, he naturally saw clearly that those monks released their divine knowledge to explore the boxes, but he would not blame them. As a monk, it is normal to be a little curious. Besides, since he dared to draw lots with boxes, he had long thought that there would be monks who would use divine knowledge to explore, and it would be strange not to make any preparations.
"This box is made of thorn wood brought back from 100,000 mountains, which has the effect of blocking the monk's consciousness. In fact, not only you, but even we old guys can't use our divine knowledge to find out what's inside. However, this also ensures the fairness of the lottery process. Li Jianfeng narrowed his eyes and said.
Li Jianfeng's words immediately confirmed the speculation of many disciples. At the same time, there was a sudden exclamation in the crowd. Looking at the box, many people's eyes began to shine eagerly.
The things produced in 100,000 mountains are naturally good. Since this kind of wood called thorn wood can block the monk's consciousness, if it is refined into a magic weapon, can't it cut off other people's consciousness and make their magic weapon out of control?
If a monk suddenly loses his connection with the magic weapon in a fight with others, won't it become the fish on the cutting board?
"Brother Yu, do you know this thorn tree?"
Other people can think of refining the thorn wood into a magic weapon, and Lin Shang can naturally think of it. Just as he was thinking about where this kind of thorn wood would be produced in 100,000 mountains, he saw Yu Lianzhou frowned slightly and thinking, thinking that he knew, so he immediately asked.
Yu Lianzhou was slightly stunned and stared at Linshang, as if he wanted to guess all Linshang's thoughts. Lin Shang smiled and waved his hand, "Brother Yu, don't think too much. I'm just curious and don't want to go to 100,000 mountains."
"Don't you want this thorn wood to refine a magic weapon to cut off other people's consciousness? Brother Lin, you can't use magic weapons, and you will inevitably suffer losses when fighting with people. If you have a magic weapon refined by thorn wood, as long as you cut off the connection between your opponent and the magic weapon, with your melee ability, won't the opponent be free to fish? Yu Lianzhou smiled and asked cunningly.
Lin Shang was stunned. Yu Lianzhou's words really hit his heart like a thousand catties of hammer. His face turned pale and no longer mentioned the idea of not going to 100,000 mountains. He nodded honestly and said, "I want to."
"I'm afraid Brother Lin can't imagine it." Yu Lianzhou still has a cunning face, like a strange man who is luring children to commit crimes.
It's rare to meet something that Brother Lin doesn't know, which can make it difficult for him.
Of course, Lin Shang did not know Yu Lianzhou's mind. His mind had already flown to 100,000 mountains, and he had even seen the sad expression of the other party's face when he suddenly took out a thorn tree when he fought with other monks in the future. But when he saw Yu Lianzhou selling customs, he said flatteringly, "Brother Yu, just tell me that if I went to 100,000 mountains, I will definitely bring you some thorny wood for you."
Looking at Lin Shang's flattery, Yu Lianzhou shook his head helplessly and said slowly, "Brother Lin, this thorn tree comes from 100,000 mountains, and it is true that it can block the monk's consciousness, but it can't be refined into a magic weapon."
"Why?" Linshang asked quickly with a pale face.
"Not only because the number of this thorn wood is very small, but also because the material of this thorn wood is extremely special. A mortal can crush this thorn wood with his bare hands. For us monks, this thorn wood is too fragile." Yu Lianzhou said with a regretful face.
"...er" Linshang was speechless, and her disappointed expression clearly appeared. He has even seen that when he fought with others in the future, he pulled out a sword made of stinging wood from his waist. Before attacking his opponent, he was crushed by himself. Seeing this scene, he was afraid that he would make his opponent laugh to death, and he would win without fighting.
"Well, Brother Lin, don't think about it. When God gives it this unparalleled ability, he will certainly deprive it of other abilities. Let's focus on the present and solve the threat of the Royal Spirit Sect and the Demon Sect first. Yu Lianzhou glanced around and whispered.
"Well...what Brother Yu said." Linshang straightened his face and shook his head violently, throwing the idea of refining the thorn wood into a magic weapon out of his mind.
Although Yulingzong has been defeated by his Xuantianzong and his party and can no longer ascend to the throne of the decent alliance exchange conference within a hundred years, this step is only the beginning of the whole plan. If the Royal Spirit Sect fails, he will definitely take action, and even contact the people of the Demon Sect. As long as you catch the evidence of their collusion with the demon religion, you can make the demon religion's plan die. In this way, Brother Liu will also be much safer.
In his heart, there must be a firm look on Lin Xiang's face, and he turned his eyes back to Li Jianfeng.
After the disciples under him discussed for a while, Li Jianfeng smiled, pointed to the gray wooden box slowly rotating in the air, and said loudly, "Two hundred wax pills are already in this wooden box. Now, please draw lots. After the draw, please take the wax pills to the senior brother below to report your sect, name and the number drawn, and then disperse.
"Yes." Everyone in the square answered in unison, but no one flew forward to draw lots. Whether it is the unpredictability of the first draw or the awe of Li Jianfeng, they dare not be the first person to eat crabs.
Lin Shang turned his head and looked around and saw that everyone's face was eager but a little afraid. Obviously, they not only wanted to get close to the existence standing at the top of the cultivation world, but they did not dare to come forward because of awe. The two emotions were intertwined, indeed It's really heart-bhorring.
He sighed secretly. Lin Shan's eyes must have been locked on Li Jianfeng, who was standing in the air. A faint blue light lit up and slowly floated into the air with Lin Shan.
Since no one dares to be the first person to eat crabs, let me do it!
Under the gaze of more than 2,000 people with all kinds of envy and hatred, Lin Shang slowly flew to the gray wooden box, saluted Li Jianfeng and said respectfully, "I have seen Uncle Li."
Li Jianfeng smiled slightly, looked like a kind old man, and asked gently, "Your name is Lin Shan? Is it a disciple of Xuantianzong You Lanfeng and Brother Li?
Lin Chang was stunned for a moment, arched his hand to the east, and said respectfully, "Li Mubai, the first of Xuantianzong Youlanfeng, is his family teacher."
"Well, Brother Li really accepted a good apprentice." A complex color flashed in Li Jianfeng's eyes, then brushed his snow-white beard, nodded with a smile, and said, "Let's start."
"Yes." Lin Shan answered, slowly put his hand into the gray wooden box, took a wax pill, saluted Li Jianfeng again, and then turned away.

The first update. The weather is unpredictable, and people have misfortunes and blessings. Not long after Grandpa was discharged from the hospital, his uncle went to the hospital again. Although he didn't need a minister to take care of him, it was still very worrying. When we grow up little by little, they will grow old little by little. Cherish and be kind to those who love you.
