The Journey of Flower

Chapter 27: 27. Fairy Sword Conference

Views:

Changliu has a foundation of more than 1,300 years, and the Immortal Sword Conference has been held not long after the establishment of the sect. At the beginning, it was only held once every ten years in the original intention of exchanging ideas between the various branches of the same sect. Later, with more and more disciples, it was shortened to five years. And the demon gods are about to be born, the demons and demons are in power, there are only a few immortals, and there is no time to waste their time, all sects and sects have begun to recruit disciples vigorously. Originally, in order to improve one's attainment and cultivation of immortality, it seems to have become a crash course for immortals. As for the disciples taught, each of them has only a little bit of Taoism, and they can't even be called half-immortals. However, relying on its own skills to eliminate demons and defend the way, it is also effective.

And this Immortal Sword Conference, in recent years, has been shortened from once every five years to once a year just like the Feast of Immortals, and apart from the original disciples of this sect, even other sects can participate.

The participating disciples are divided into two groups, those who have been apprenticed and those who have not. And those who have worshiped as teachers and opened houses to accept apprentices at the same time, such as Hu Qingqiu, Huo Xi, etc., can no longer participate.

Changliu Mountain seems to be concentric and integrated, but there are three halls and nine pavilions, with three statues on the top and nine elders on the bottom. The three masters stayed in charge for a short period of time, but more than seventy years. But there are no less than forty elders of the above generation, except for those who don't leave the world and go out to travel in the mountains. In addition, the disciples and grandchildren under the Nine Great Elders all worshiped different masters, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and most of them practiced spells of different schools. Therefore, it was still divided into many tribes.

Among the three, Sheng Xiaomo was lazy, so he was too lazy to recruit more disciples. Huo Xi and Wu Qingluo were really bored and thought it was fun to accept them, but after a few days of training they found it troublesome, so they didn't want to charge more. Mo Yan wanted to be in charge of all the big and small things in the sect, and he had to go through every detail, fortunately, he was hired by Eleven to help him, but he was still too busy, and he didn't want to recruit more disciples. Not to mention Bai Zihua, even though Mo Yan had nagged in his ear about accepting apprentices for decades, he was still unmoved.

Therefore, there are very few disciples under the direct line of the three masters. Although they are attracting everyone's attention, it is difficult to ask for a master.

As for this Immortal Sword Conference, everyone who has not been a teacher is eligible, unless they say they have found a good teacher, and they can automatically abstain if they are too lazy to win the limelight. But the group of disciples who were apprentices was secretly turbulent, fighting to the death.

Not to mention the participation of foreign disciples in the competition, winning or losing is related to the reputation of the school after all. Furthermore, even if the disciples of the same sect fight each other, the clans are hostile to each other, for fear of losing the face of their master. Therefore, those who are sent to participate in the competition must be the best among the apprentices, so as to add credit to themselves.

The venue of the Immortal Sword Conference is divided into five places, on the flat grassland, in the dense forest, in the martial arts hall, beside the active crater where Changliu sits to watch the peak, and on the sea.

The competition cannot exceed the scope of the designated venue, no matter where it is, it is not allowed to land. The playing field will be randomly arranged by drawing lots. Because each of the five venues occupies the right time and location of the five elements, if the wood system is well practiced, and the venue happens to be in a dense forest, it will naturally be of great advantage, and so on.

Because of the large number of people, the Immortal Sword Conference will be held for ten days in total, and five venues will be held at the same time. Five respected elders who are not in the mountains on weekdays serve as arbitrators. The two groups of competitions adopt an elimination system, and draw lots to determine the contestants. Those who have been in the top sixteen of previous years will directly enter the ranks of seeded players. For the rookie group, the top four in classes A, B, C and D will directly enter the seed players.

In other words, if Hua Qiangu wants to enter the finals, he must win nearly ten matches in a row.

Tang Bao silently prayed to the sky, hoping that her hard work and hard work in the past year would be rewarded.

But seeing that Hua Qiangu had been pale and silent since she came out in the morning, she thought she was too nervous, and comforted her softly by telling jokes in her ears.

Qing Shui looked around excitedly. Thousands of Changliu disciples, together with the expats who came, all gathered in the largest square in Changliu. It was densely packed with people, and one can imagine the spectacular scene. And in the sky, red, purple, and green sword lights slid across from time to time, and the colorful sword glows intertwined together, like a rainbow all over the sky, it is really beautiful. Those are disciples of various factions who just arrived or immortals who came to watch the battle.

Hua Qiangu could recognize several of them, and had seen several of them at the Heavenly Banquet.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Ni Mantian's figure flying up into the air, and cheerfully greeted the person coming over there. Taking a closer look, among the group of people who came, the leader was a middle-aged man, riding a golden lion, with saber eyebrows and eagle nose, eyes like lightning, very mighty. The woman with colorful auspicious clouds beside her is dignified and beautiful, with a gentle and amiable smile. It is the head of Penglai Xiandao, Ni Qianzhang and Su Rui, and they are also Ni Mantian's parents.

Ni Mantian was coquettish in the arms of her parents for a long time, and those disciples under Ni Qianzhang's sect must have doted on Ni Mantian very much. They hadn't seen her for a long time, and they all surrounded her to care for her.

Hua Qiangu looked at Nimantian's joyful smile, feeling a little sad in his heart. If her parents were still alive, let alone come out alone to seek Taoism and visit immortals, she would not do it even for the Jade Emperor. As long as you can always be with them, do a little more filial piety, and enjoy a few more days of family happiness.

Penglai Island is at the end of the East China Sea, and Changliu Mountain is at the end of the North Sea. Both of them are famous sects in the fairy family. This time, Penglai Island specially sent its only daughter to Changliu to practice, which shows the friendship between the two factions from generation to generation. After all, they are all fairy mountains on the sea, and Penglai's strength is slightly weaker. Among the disciples under Ni Qianzhang, there are few particularly outstanding and strong disciples. The two factions have always been on good terms, and Ni Mantian's worship under Changliu's sect was a kind of diplomatic means of marriage. For the sake of Changliu's overall situation, it was inevitable to accept Ni Mantian as the three direct disciples. And there is Shang Shangpiao in front of her, she is the great-great-granddaughter of the head of Tianshan Mountain. Last year's first place was obtained by some tricks. But after all, the world is like this, so it's no wonder that all the major factions have attached themselves to Changliu.

There were many grasses floating in the air, and the elders of the sect and the immortals of other sects sat on them. Waiting for the grand ceremony and ceremony before the Changliu Fairy Sword Conference.

The majestic bell ringing in the main hall can be heard clearly even thousands of miles overseas. Standing in the queue of Gui Ban, Hua Qiangu looked up and watched the three statues flying down from the three main halls, their robes fluttering down on the high altar. The grandeur of the demeanor made everyone present look up to him.

Standing in the crowd, Hua Qiangu felt that she was so small, so submerged that there was not even dust left. She swayed slightly, "My lord, I'm afraid she will only be able to stare at him from a low place forever.

After the ceremony, there was a grand feast. In the afternoon, the lists determined by the lottery had all been posted.

Qingshui shook Hua Qiangu happily: "Great, if the two of us can advance smoothly, we won't meet Ni Mantian and Shuo Feng until the end. But I should be eliminated by Shuo Feng before we meet each other." , hahaha. Qiangu, come on! We must enter the top sixteen!"

Kuchiki Qingliu didn't know when he walked to the front of the Guiban team. He was very formally dressed, and he didn't feel drunk at all. He was afraid that he had been reprimanded by someone, and he was not allowed to lose his long-standing face.

"Are you ready? Work hard, don't embarrass Class Gui, you are the best! Beat Class A to the ground!"

The class was suddenly excited and eager to fight.

Hua Qiangu looked at the sky helplessly, it seemed that he was still drunk.

"Qiangu, how are you? Are you okay? You..."

"I'm fine, hehe, I'll work hard! My afternoon race is at sea, I'll go there first! Qingshui, you have to work hard too! Can you come with me, Tang Bao, or go to see Senior Eleven?"

"Of course I'll go with Mother Bones. Senior Brother Eleven will go directly to the next round, so there's no need to compare."

"Hmph, what if I compete with him at the same time? Who are you cheering for!"

"Hey, of course it's Mommy Bones, Brother Eleven will definitely win without me cheering!"

Hua Qiangu just gave up and bid farewell to Qingshui and Qingliu and they went straight to the venue.

Although the Fairy Sword Conference strictly forbids the participating disciples to harm each other maliciously, and it is even less allowed for someone to fight to the death with spells that hurt both sides. Once a crisis situation arises, the arbitrating elders will immediately stop it. But after all, the sword has no eyes, especially the new disciples can't control their own strength well, and they can't control their strengths. Casualties and accidents are always inevitable.

Hua Qiangu watched two other people's competitions first, and was inevitably a little nervous when it was her turn to play. But fortunately, since the Water Department belongs to the Supreme Master, I have studied it with great care, and Kuchiki Qingliu has taught it very well, so I am still relatively good at it. It's just that I'm not used to using the sword under my feet, and the center of gravity is slightly unstable during the flight. The first match was against Wang Wushan's disciple, a man in his early thirties, he thought he saw that the first match was against a baby, and he underestimated the enemy in his heart, so Hua Qiangu won easily.

Slowly flying down from mid-air, took a few deep breaths. Sugar Baby rides a seagull and flies next to her.

"Bone, you are amazing! But the move in the flowing water and falling flowers was half a beat slower than usual, full of flaws, fortunately, it was only a half-baked one, and it would be dangerous if you met a strong opponent. You must do it next time. Pay attention!"

"Oh, I see!"

Suddenly hearing the sound of clapping from the side, Hua Qiangu looked up and saw that it was Yun Yin whom he hadn't seen in months, and couldn't help but burst into joy.

"The disciple came late, and the master forgives the sin. Congratulations to the master for winning the first round. It seems that the past few months have made a lot of progress!"

Yun Yin and several disciples behind him bowed down to the ground at the same time.

Hua Qiangu hurriedly helped them up: "Get up quickly, my current status is inconvenient, don't call me the sect master, just call me Qiangu. I thought you guys won't come, is everything okay in Maoshan?"

"Everything is safe. This time, there are two disciples who are also here to participate in the conference. Unexpectedly, something happened on the way and they were delayed. But I don't know if there is a hurry. I asked them to go to the competition venue, and then I went straight to find You. Judging from your current skills just now, if you are lucky and do not encounter strong enemies, you should be able to enter the top ten."

"En." Hua Qiangu nodded vigorously.

Sure enough, in the next few days, Hua Qiangu went all the way through five stages and killed six generals, reaching the top eight. But the more difficult it is to go to the back, after all, there are more masters in the back, and she has consumed too much spiritual and physical energy after several battles.

Among the top eight, Changliu occupied five places. In addition to Hua Qiangu, Ni Mantian, and Shuo Feng, there were also Kui Yuan from Class B, and Yun Yun from Class B. Naturally, both Hua Qiangu and Yun Yun were the winners this time. The other three were Kuocang Sect, Qi Yunshan, and Yuzhuo Peak's disciples. The two disciples of Maoshan were eliminated after only entering the top 32. Otherwise, if you were to face off against the master, you really wouldn't know how to fight.

If Hua Qiangu wins another game against the disciples of Mount Yuzhu and enters the semi-finals, he may have to face Ni Mantian. It is not easy to get to this point. But after all, his strength is limited, and he tried his best to defeat the disciple of Mount Yuzhu on the volcano, and his spiritual power was almost exhausted, and his vitality was seriously injured.

However, Ni Mantian was not much better. After many days, he was exhausted, all thanks to Ni Qianzhang's continuous input of internal energy at night. To be able to maintain a vigorous posture in the competition.

On the last day of the Immortal Sword Conference, two groups of top four contested. Due to the large number of spectators, all the venues were moved above the sea. Even the three elders and the nine elders, who rarely showed up in the past few days, floated on high to watch the final winner's decision, and then as soon as the game ended, there would be a long-stay apprenticeship ceremony, so almost everyone was present.

The first contestants were Hua Qiangu and Ni Mantian.

Qingshui, Yunyin and Kuanmu Qingliu were all by her side to help her out. Tang Bao was twisting and twisting in a bright red dress, holding two flowers in her hand, cheering her on by dancing like a cheerleader.

Luo Shiyi stood beside the World Honored One and saw it from afar, turned his back and coughed a few times.

"uncomfortable?"

"Return to master, the disciple is fine."

"It's fine. This is the last time you will participate in the Fairy Sword Conference. This year you are going to open a house to accept apprentices. You have only been apprenticed to a master for a year, and your cultivation level is not enough. You barely made it to the top sixteen. Don't lose it." Your master and the entire Changliu face, you must bring back the first place to me, and it cannot fall into the hands of anyone other than Changliu."

"The disciple knows."

Mo Yan snorted coldly, looking at Hua Qiangu and Ni Mantian who were about to face off against each other: "You should be familiar with both of these two disciples, tell me, which one will win?"

"Returning to Master, Hua Qiangu had the victory before, but after fighting for several days, both of them are exhausted now. This is a test of speed, skill, and mana, but the most important thing in the end is endurance. Flying and dodging in the air, while being distracted from fighting, whoever has the best comprehensive ability is most likely to win, but it is still unknown who will win the battle."

"Junior brother, what do you think?" Mo Yan suddenly turned his head and asked Bai Zihua who was beside him.

Bai Zi showed no expression on the screen, looked at the bustling scene in mid-air below, and asked for a long time: "Who do you want to win, brother?"

Before Mo Yan could answer, Sheng Xiaomo interrupted and said with a smile: "Brother, of course you want Nimantian to win, right? Changliu and Penglai will get on better terms by then."

Mo Yan was noncommittal, and suddenly said: "Junior brother, what do you think about Ni Mantian's aptitude?"

"Very good." Bai Zihua nodded, but his eyes were on Hua Qiangu, he frowned slightly, feeling a little strange in his heart.

"Are you still not planning to accept apprentices this year? After all, it is not easy to be vacant for too long."

"This year...maybe I'll accept it." After watching the show, I don't know how hard this kid has worked.

Sheng Xiaomo said: "Senior brother, do you want Second Senior Brother to accept Ni Mantian as an apprentice?"

Unexpectedly, Mo Yan shook his head, pointed at Shuo Feng who was watching the battle, and said, "He is the most suitable candidate."

Sheng Xiaomo and Luo Shiyi on the side immediately nodded clearly. Bai Zihua didn't seem to hear it.

Huo Xi and Wu Qingluo couldn't sit still with excitement, they bet a lot for Ni Mantian and Hua Qiangu's fight. Huo Xi bet that Ni Man Tian would win, and Wu Qing Luo bet that Hua Qian Gu would win, the two of them fought fiercely, whoever lost would lose ten wish coupons at a time.

They usually make such and such bets and wish coupons. That is, with one card, you can order the other party to do any one thing. If someone wins ten cards at once, and ten opportunities to abuse and trick the other party, then there will be no trouble. Once, Huo Xi was ordered by Wu Qingluo to spy on Mo Yan taking a bath, and came back to report that he had several scars on his body. At that time, he was so frightened that he even died, he would rather Wu Qingluo tell him to die directly than seeing the terrifying face of the World Honored One.

Finally, the competition was about to begin, with a flash of green light, Hua Qiangu's body and sword merged into one, and flew into the air with a pale complexion, and below was the surging blue waves. The sea breeze was strong, making her a little cold. Ni Mantian's parents told her Wanqian for a long time, and she finally flew in front of Hua Qiangu.

The people around were startled, because Ni Mantian's sword was not stepped on, but held in his hand and used as a weapon. It is quite amazing that a disciple who has just started and has never worshiped a teacher can directly fly in the air and ride the wind. As soon as she came out, Hua Qiangu was clearly at a disadvantage.

Ni Mantian held the ice-like thin sword in her hand, looked around carefully, and then breathed lightly on it.

"How is it? Is the taste of my Bi Luo good? This time, I will let you have a taste again?"

Hua Qiangu felt a sharp pain in her heart, her body swayed violently, she almost fell into the sea, her complexion became even paler.

Only then did Luo Shili see clearly that the sword under Hua Qiangu's feet was not the Duan Nian gifted to her by the Lord when she went to Maoshan last time, but just a very ordinary sword.

I can't help but feel anxious, fool, if you fight recklessly, you won't be Ni Mantian's opponent, why don't you give up

Luo Shiyi turned to look at Bai Zihua, but saw that his face was still expressionless, as if he didn't see it.
