Chapter Ninety-Five: Rules
In mid-air, the Ice Spirit Bird stopped with a long cry and stopped.
The old man glanced at everyone, jumped up from the Ice Spirit Stopper, and then fell lightly towards the platform where Wu Zhouchen was.
"Don't be so serious, I'm a little embarrassed to make the old man." The old man spoke.
His voice was slightly hoarse, sounding a little vicissitudes. Not only that, but his tone sounded very peaceful, with a hint of cynicism, which made people remember this old man in their hearts when they heard it, because it was so special.
The most shocking ones belonged to Lin Yu and Lin Meng, because they found out that this old man was the strange old man who begged for a sugar gourd some time ago.
"How could it be him!" Lin Yu shouted.
Lin Meng blinked a few times, didn't speak, didn't know what he was thinking.
Lin Li was surprised, and turned his head to look at Lin Yu, "Yu'er, do you know this messenger?" ”
Lin Yu nodded and shook his head again.
His appearance directly confused Lin Li and the others.
"Once upon a time, I called him a weird old man." Lin Yu explained with a wry smile.
Lin Li hurriedly glared at Lin Yu and said, "Don't talk nonsense. ”
"What a strange old man, he is obviously a master of the Martial Arts Sect."
At this time, everyone straightened up and looked at the messenger with blazing eyes.
The old man nodded to everyone, which was regarded as a greeting, and then, with a wave of his hand, the ice spirit hovering in mid-air stopped the bird and chirped, spun twice, and flew towards the mountains and forests in the distance.
"You don't have to be restrained, just when I don't exist, there's no need to be nervous."
He smiled happily, and his eyes looked towards Lin Yu intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yu's heart was sudden, how could he feel that this strange old man's gaze was ill-intentioned.
Wu Zhouchen smiled, hurriedly stood up, his eyes swept over everyone, and said loudly: "It's the day of the five-year village test again, today, our Ruicheng can be described as very lively, and all the cottages under its jurisdiction are present, just to observe or participate in this five-year event." ”
"What makes our Ruicheng even more brilliant is that our Ruicheng ushered in the first messenger in history, he is the 'old man' of the Weiwu Sect, let us greet us with enthusiastic applause and shouts from the heart."
After he finished speaking, he waited for the shouts of the crowd, but found that the atmosphere was a little dull, and no one spoke.
Wu Zhouchen was very embarrassed, and sighed in his heart, what is this called.
It would have been a great deal to have a messenger coming, but the messenger who came was a strange man, and he didn't want to say his name, just call him an old man.
As a result, he can't say a bullish name when he makes an introduction now, which makes the scene embarrassing.
Seeing this, he took the lead in shouting.
"Greetings to the messenger."
Everyone reacted and hurriedly shouted.
"Greetings to the messenger."
The old man waved his hand, "Say you don't care about me, you guys can't stand this." ”
He looked a little bored, and his tone was impatient.
Wu Zhouchen saw that the old man really didn't like this, so he stopped patting on the back and began to get back to business.
"After the deliberation of the City Lord's Mansion, now announce the rules of the village test."
Lin Yu nodded secretly.
After talking nonsense for a long time, it's finally time to get serious.
An old man beside Wu Zhouchen walked out and said loudly, "Next, the old man will announce the rules." ”
"This year's rules are the same as in previous years, divided into three phases."
Don't look at the old man's age, but he speaks crisply and neatly.
"The first stage is a scuffle, all the cottages are randomly drawn, and every group of ten goes to the ring to fight."
"There are no rules in the melee, all means can be used, and the person who finally stands in the ring advances to the next stage."
The old man glanced at Lin Yu's side and said, "A reminder, the melee is very cruel, and casualties are commonplace, if you want to quit now, you can leave on your own." ”
Lin Yu was secretly frightened, this rule was really simple and rude, it seemed that it would be very difficult to advance.
He has now offended Lujiazhai and Jinjiazhai, and these two cottages are not ordinary people, this rule will definitely be used by these two cottages.
Even if he was lucky enough not to draw these two cottages, with the prestige of these two cottages, as long as he explained a few words to other cottagers in private, he would also be targeted.
"It's really troublesome!" He muttered to himself.
After the old man reminded him, he didn't say a word of nonsense, and said again: "Of course, as in previous years, the cottage that won the thirteenth place in the village test last time can skip the stage of melee and directly advance to the second stage. ”
Hearing this, Lin Yu's eyes burst out, he was really afraid of something.
In this way, although Jin Jiazhai and Lu Jiazhai can't play, they will definitely let others help them, and they won't miss this opportunity.
The old man continued to announce the rules, "Next, announce the rules of the second stage, listen up." ”
"After the scuffle, those who advance to the second stage can challenge any of the last thirteen villages, and as long as they win, they can take the other party's position and squeeze into the ranks of the thirteen villages."
"Of course, if the challenged cottage fails, it will get a chance to challenge, and as long as the challenge wins, it will be able to re-squeeze into the thirteen villages."
"In order to protect the people who are newly squeezed into the Thirteen Villages, and for the sake of fairness, the newly squeezed cottages only need to accept one challenge, as long as they win, they will be considered to be sitting in the position of the Thirteen Villages."
After hearing this, Lin Yu squinted his eyes, and his heart was clear.
The second stage sounds complicated, but it's actually quite simple.
Take him, for example.
If he emerges from the melee, he will advance to the second stage, and then he can challenge the last Thirteen Villages, as long as he wins, he will be squeezed into the ranks of the Thirteen Villages. Of course, the premise is to accept a challenge from others, and if no one challenges it, it is considered a success.
The old man glanced at everyone, saw that there were no objections, and then said: "The third stage is simple, but because the melee will last for one day, the rules of the third stage will be announced tomorrow." ”
The old man said this, glanced at the old man, and showed a look of envy.
"It should be noted that the winner of the third stage will be able to obtain the order of force."
"Being able to enter the Martial Arts Sect, the benefits are naturally needless to say, this is the first reward for the first place."
"The second reward, you can make a request to the city lord, as long as the city lord can do it, the city lord will not refuse."
"The rules are read."
The old man looked at Wu Zhouchen and returned to his original position.
Wu Zhouchen looked at the old man and asked, "Messenger, do you think this rule is acceptable?" ”
The old man waved his hand indifferently, "This kind of thing, you are the city lord, you are in charge." ”
"Again, I'm just curious, come and have a look."
When Wu Zhouchen saw this, he didn't say anything.
Actually, he wanted to tie up with this messenger, but he didn't expect this messenger to be a bit weird, so he didn't know where to start.
Wu Zhouchen stood up, took two steps forward, and waved his hand, "Once every five years, the village test." ”
"Open the gong!"
As his words fell, a distant gong sounded in the distance.
"Boom..."
The sound of the gong was far away, and it rang for a long time, as if it had penetrated the clouds and reached the sky.
When the gong disappeared, he shouted in a deep voice, "Zhai test, open!" ”
There were horns in the distance, and everyone in the audience shouted in unison, and the neat sound followed the horns one after another, and the scene became hot in an instant.
Another old man beside Wu Zhouchen stood up, holding a white jade box in his hand, and took a few steps forward.
"The lottery begins, wash the lots."
With his words, he threw the white jade box in his hand into the air, and the white jade box rotated and rolled violently in the air, and the sound of jade pendants colliding came from inside.
"Signed!"
He stretched out his hand to take it, and the white jade box landed firmly in his hand.
"Come, messenger."
He handed the white jade box to the old man and said.
The old man didn't shirk, took the white jade box, and with a wave of his big hand, more than a hundred jade medals flew out of the box, suspended in mid-air.
This scene made Lin Yu dumbfounded.
What kind of means is this, it is so powerful, and I don't know what strength this strange old man has.
He pursed his mouth again, and sneered: "What does this dead old man mean, he has such a strong strength, why do he pretend to be a beggar, is it just to deceive Lin Meng's string of sugar gourds?" ”
He couldn't figure it out.
"Go." The old man's slightly hoarse voice sounded, and his big hand waved towards Lin Yu's side, and the suspended jade plate in mid-air flew towards Lin Yu's side with a whoosh.
In a flash, more than a hundred jade plaques flew to the lowest platform, and all the leaders of the cottage were suspended with a jade plaque.
In front of Lin Li, there was also one levitating.
The old man showed an admiring look to the old man, then looked at everyone and said, "Sign." ”
Lin Li stretched out his hand and took the jade plaque in front of him.
"Yu'er, have you decided?"
He looked at Lin Yu with a solemn expression.
Lin Yu didn't hesitate and nodded, "It's decided." ”
"That's fine." Lin Li sighed lightly and stuffed the jade plate into Lin Yu's hand.
Lin Xiang came over, "Quick, let's see how many numbers have been drawn." ”
Lin Yu nodded and put the jade plaque on his forehead.
"Eighteen."
He took the jade plaque off and said.
"Yes, it's lucky." Lin Fei joked and eased the atmosphere.
On the platform of the City Lord's Mansion, the old man who issued the lot opened his mouth and said, "The lottery is complete, and next, the first stage of the village test will be carried out, and the scuffle will be conducted." ”
"Rise to the ring!"
With his shouting, the ground of Ruicheng shook violently, and the most central ring kicked up dust, and began to rise upward, rising nine meters, the ring stopped, and a transparent ring separated from the ring, and the original ring began to sink slowly, and finally returned to level with the ground.
The transparent ring is different from the platform, and if you look at Lei in all directions, you can clearly see everything on the ring, and you don't know what material this ring is made of, which is very mysterious.
