Chapter 666: Lingyun Pavilion Lord Mo smiled
As soon as Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng walked to the square, the old man with white hair also walked out of the gate of the mountain, only to see him quickly walk to the steps and say loudly:
"Please all six teams stand in order, led by the captain, and go up the mountain with me, the competition of the Outer Sky Lingyun List is about to begin."
The six captains all stood at the front of the team, and they were the six favorites to win the championship this time, Ye Yuzhu of the Sword Sect, Tang Yuansi of the Longxiao Kingdom, Nan Buyi of the Southern Star Kingdom, Mei Zizhen of the Northern Moon Kingdom, Lei Zhenyu of the Heavenly Thunder Country and Mu Qianmei of the Xiyu Kingdom.
This year's six teams, because Mu Qianmei and Tang Yuansi are both record-breaking people, are considered extra places, so there are a total of 218 people, two more than the previous number.
When all six teams stood in line, the old man with white hair nodded and said:
"Okay, I can see that everyone's mental state is good, I hope you can all play your own level in the competition and achieve satisfactory results, let's go!"
After saying that, he led the way and walked to the gate to the top of the mountain.
The six teams marched in unison, all following him towards the sacred place of their dreams.
It takes an hour to walk from the square halfway up the mountain to the top of the mountain, but for these runners, it only takes a quarter of an hour to reach the top.
On the top of Lingyun Mountain, there are thirteen buildings, the main building is Lingyun Pavilion, there are six buildings on each side are built along the edge of the mountaintop, from a distance, this seems to be a city in the sky, however, when you come to the top, you find that in fact, behind the main building is a wide square, if it is full of people, it can accommodate 300,000 people.
Of course, it is impossible to just stand on the square, in the middle of the rectangular square, there is a large circular ring, with a diameter of one hundred and twenty zhang, around the ring, is an oval three-layer stand, the first floor can accommodate 50,000 people, the second floor can accommodate 30,000 people, the third floor can accommodate 20,000 people, a total of 100,000 people.
The first and second floors are made of black wood marble, which is not only exquisite, but also very strong, while the third floor is built of white jade, like clouds, full of dreamy colors.
The real best viewing position is a viewing platform on the second floor of Lingyun Pavilion, where the view is wide and relatively quiet, you can drink tea and eat snacks while leisurely watching the wonderful competition in the ring.
The 218 contestants were first taken to a hall on the east side of the third floor of the observation deck.
This hall is just east of the observation deck on the third floor, and it is also a good viewing position, which is a semi-enclosed hall, which can be used to watch the competition in the ring directly, or you can sit and watch the crystal wall in the hall through the gramophone stone and the gramophone stone.
Here, you can really feel the atmosphere of the scene.
At this time, there were already people in the audience, but there were still very few, about a third of each floor, and more people were still on their way up the mountain.
The competition will start on time, and there are still two quarters of an hour to go, and the spectators are entering the arena one after another, and the contestants are making final preparations in the lounge.
Six teams, six separate sections, each with two enclosed locker rooms, one for men and one for women.
The closer the competition gets, the more irrepressible excitement and excitement the players feel, and of course, there is also a bit of nervousness and worry.
In the hall, some people meditate cross-legged, as if they were cultivating, but in fact, they were trying their best to calm their mood and adjust their personal state; Some people leisurely looked at the picture on the crystal wall, and then whispered with the people next to them; Some stood on the railing near the ring, looking at the spectators.
Mu Qianmei's mood was very calm, because she had experienced too many similar scenes, so she was neither excited, nor nervous, nor worried, and seemed very indifferent.
Liu Tingfeng has always been dislike to be in the limelight, and has always been quietly by Mu Qianmei's side, for him, Mu Qianmei is his world, and everything in the outside world seems to be non-existent.
The two of them didn't look at the ring, nor did they look at the water feature wall, and they didn't need to use meditation to adjust their mentality, so they randomly found two positions, sat together and chatted, waiting for the start of the competition.
The people who stood on the edge of the railing and watched the audience enter would let out a burst of exclamation from time to time, because they saw some famous people in the audience, and because of their exclamation, many waiting players stood on the edge of the railing and watched the celebrities in the audience together.
At this time, many people in the audience also looked at the location of the rest hall and talked about the contestants standing on the edge of the railing.
It turned out that the players standing on the edge of the railing have also become a unique scenery in the eyes of the audience.
There was still a quarter of an hour left, on the observation deck on the second floor of Lingyun Pavilion, the most famous group of people in the outer heavens had also arrived one after another, today, in addition to the leaders of the thirteen gangs, there were also emperors of four countries who had all been present, only the seats of the Xiyu Kingdom were empty.
One country and two emperors, both of them are still busy fighting, so naturally they can't come to watch the competition, for the spiritual encouragement and support of their country.
Lingyun Mountain, as the headquarters of the Five Nations Alliance, used to be present together with the five emperors, only the Sword Sect's Changfeng Venerable was busy cultivating and had never come in person.
At this best viewing point, there were about 120 people in total, which was considered to bring together the most powerful and high-ranking people from all countries and rivers and lakes, and when they were seated, the seats around the ring were already full and crowded.
The 100,000 spectators have all been seated.
As soon as the hour arrived, Mo Xiao, the lord of Lingyun Pavilion, rose in the air and came to the main ring, seeing that the speed of his volley was not fast, although he flew in the air, but that unhurried appearance, quite a bit of leisurely strolling, as if he was walking calmly.
And it looks slow, but it's actually fast, because in the blink of an eye, he is already standing in the ring.
This middle-aged man who looks like a scholar, his gentle and elegant posture has a different demeanor, and he has a faint smile on his face, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
After his eyes softened around, he said slowly:
"The triennial Outer Heaven Lingyun List Competition is the biggest event in our Outer Heaven, where the top geniuses of the five countries gather together to start a wonderful showdown, who can have the last laugh? We'll see. ”
"In the past, there were 216 players participating in each competition, but this year, the number of participants is 218, and there are two more players with additional qualifications, one is Tang Yuansi from the Royal Academy of Longxiao Kingdom, and the other is Mu Qianmei from Tingxue Tower in Xiyu Kingdom."
"Both of them are peerless geniuses who broke historical records in both Wenbi and Wubi, and it also makes everyone have a little more expectations for this year's Lingyun List Competition, both are peerless geniuses, both are people who are both civil and military, who is better than them?"
"In the competition of the Empty Valley Youlan Billboard in the West Rain Country, Liu Tingfeng's "Mountains and Flowing Water" and Mu Qianmei's "Ambush on All Sides" have now become classic songs from outside the sky, and have even become a must-learn course in the teaching of major colleges."
"In the poetry competition, Mu Qianmei, who is known as the first talented woman in the Xiyu Country, once created the idyllic poem "Picking Chrysanthemums" that shocked the four on the spot, and Liu Tingfeng also defeated the Dharma swordsmanship of the Sword Sect with the wind swordsmanship in the martial arts competition, allowing people to see the magic and uniqueness of the swordsmanship with the wind."
"Of course, Tang Yuansi of the Royal Academy of Longxiao Kingdom is also amazingly talented, although Wen Bizhong has not made a masterpiece that has been handed down to the world, but his literary style is also outstanding, and his stronger is swordsmanship, in addition to the Ling Tian swordsmanship taught by the Royal Academy, he is better at the family heirloom Heavenly Shattering Star Swordsmanship."
"In addition, the Sword Sect also has a rare kendo genius in a hundred years, and he is also both civil and military, that is Ye Yuzhu, one of the favorites to win the championship."
"In addition to these three favorites, the other three countries have also appeared outstanding masters, Mei Zizhen of the Northern Moon Country, Nan Buyi of the Southern Star Country and Lei Zhenyu of the Heavenly Thunder Country are also genius teenagers who are rare in a century."
"Today, they have all gathered at the top of Lingyun Mountain, which can be regarded as a real gathering of geniuses, and their overall strength is far better than in previous years, in the next competition, who among them is stronger? Everyone is full of curiosity about this, and I am also looking forward to their more exciting performances in the next competitions. ”
"In the morning, there will be a literary competition, that is, the guqin, chess and poetry, calligraphy and painting, a total of three competitions, we all hope that there will be more classic works come out."
"And what will be held in the afternoon is the martial arts competition, the six favorites to win the championship, all of them are masters of cultivation, but there is only one champion, who can win the peak of the martial arts competition in the end?"
"Last night, we made a prediction about this, but, from the experience of previous sessions, the results of the competition are often unexpected.
"This year, will there be a master other than the six favorites who will appear and become the biggest dark horse in the competition?"
"Prediction is just prediction after all, the competition is still full of suspense, probably because of the existence of suspense, people will be more curious and expectant."
"Okay, the competition time is precious, I won't say more, before the official competition, I would first like to wish all the players to keep in good shape and play their best!"
After saying that, he paused for a moment, and then said in a loud voice:
"I announce that the Outer Heaven Lingyun List has officially begun!"
