Chapter 603 Opening Ceremony
Spring and Autumn City.
The long-term publicity and the capacity of the new city have expanded the scope of the competition, and it has long been unlimited to Lingzhou. It was originally just a crowd of people around the country, but now it has been a great success in the world. Among them, not only contestants, but also just simple spectators. A huge crowd has caused the new city to naturally form radiation outside various competition venues, including inns, taverns, vendors, teahouses, etc. The new city has become a veritable name.
There is no city wall in the new city, and a huge gate arch similar to a mountain gate is erected. Shenji Gate is made of a plaque, Xue Qingqiu's inscription, and the three big words "Spring and Autumn City" stand on the gate arch.
These three words contain the meaning of emptiness. The stars and moon shine, which shocks people's hearts and attracts a large number of practitioners to come and observe every day. Even if they belong to different paths, they will also be beneficial to their own practice after learning from each other.
In other words, even the signs are the same scene.
Originally, no one guarded the city, but Liushemen and Xingyue Sect assigned people to maintain public security. Since the founding of the City Defense Department, Chunqiu City has also added warriors who specialize in city defense. Most of them were selected by locals in Lingzhou, including major families and ordinary people. They are all honored to the prosperity of the Lingzhou affiliated new city, and they are more attentive to guard and protect it. In addition, this is the territory of Xingyue Sect, and its majesty has also made the public security of the prosperous new city peaceful and rarely have problems.
Ji Wuyou probably wouldn't have thought that the City Defense Department's real positive use for this world actually started with Xue Mu.
But this is just a scene that was only seen before the competition.
After the competition approached, all the contestants began to enter the stage of intense preparation, and there were fewer people wandering around. The contestants all knew that although this was a team competition, it was also a world event. There were so many bigwigs watching. If they performed well, they could become famous. It was possible to log in to the rookie score. They were not allowed to pay attention to it.
It is a real world event, which is clearer than the previous world martial arts discussion. In addition to the invisible path of destroying love, the top sects of the righteous and demons participated in it, and it was not a sect and a team, but a team of the righteous and demons, and it was no different from ordinary people who brought in a few friends to participate.
The status of the top sects has been reduced and participated like everyone else.
Of course, a few people were able to join the team and even sign up. Several elders of Xingyue Sect were responsible for checking this matter and finally established 64 teams, almost covering the world's famous families.
The grand occasion was unprecedented.
On July 1st, the opening ceremony of the martial arts venue in the Spring and Autumn City.
There were also things like this before, such as Yuan Zhong’s stinky and long opening speech. Tens of thousands of warriors stood under the sun and listened to him chanting Buddha’s name. When it was his turn, he naturally turned the opening into an entertainment ceremony.
Qin Fairy Meng Lan and Qianshan Muxue Group appeared one after another, and there were many new teams. Among them, there were the Qingetang launched by Xingyue Sect, some were created by Hehuan Sect, and even some were juggling. Xue Mu was inclusive, and the Qingetang planning team made the director arrangements.
Many people have now discovered that Xue Mu has advocated more than just a few teams, but is centered on Lingzhou. The trend of singing and dancing performance has long radiated thousands of miles. In subtle influence, the world atmosphere of the boring martial arts and fighting with one mind has long changed.
Any grand event is in short supply, and without these singing and dancing scenery, it will be boring.
Xue Mu sat high in the middle of the rostrum, with Xue Qingqiu and Yue Xiaochan accompanying him. On one side of Xue Qingqiu are top figures such as Xia Wenxuan, and on the other side of Yue Xiaochan are righteous and representatives of the court. Everyone is interested in watching the performances in the venue.
Qin Wuye smiled and was in a better mood.
The boring battle has never been the pursuit of Hehuan Sect. Xue Mu conforms to her concepts in so many ways, just like there are such singing and dancing on the eve of this solemn competition.
Everyone has the need for spiritual entertainment, and a competition can also create a relaxed and pleasant enjoyment.
In addition to entertainment, there are other new ideas.
The novelty is unprecedentedly standardized.
The delegation of the sixty-four participating teams actually wore unified clothing with sect characteristics under the leadership, holding up the flags belonging to the sect, and walked over one by one. Luo Qianxue, who had just left the show, introduced it on the amplification magic circle beside him:
"Now is coming to us, the delegation of the Seven Sects of the Righteous Way. It represents the most peak of our Great Zhou martial arts. The one in front is the newly rising rookie of the Sword Sect, Cao Jianchu, the closed disciple of Elder Du of Jianfeng Hall, who has entered the cultivation stage at only fifteen years old, and his sword intention is unparalleled... The one beside him is Taoist Yuqing, a rookie of Xuantian Sect..."
The order of entry of each sect is in a mess, and there is no saying that anyone first or later. Interestingly, this kind of appearance ceremony alone is very fun. For example, in the Demon Sect delegation, a small flag in the team floated over out of thin air, with three small words "Wuhendao" written on it. I can't see where the person holding the flag is...
An appearance is the manifestation of their own characteristics.
Luo Qianxue boasted about introducing the participants, and was immersed in singing and dancing to achieve peace and stability, and gradually became serious. She looked at the participants and secretly assessed the possibility of the winner.
The meaning of entertainment fades away, and the feeling of solemnity and sternness gradually arises.
Monk Faming of Wujiu Temple sighed beside Yu Lin: "Being troubled by this, all those who have sponsored the world's martial arts discussion in the past have become the grass-roots team. Everything they have to do in the future must come to Xue Mu to seek scriptures."
Yulin took it seriously because the next Tianxia Lunwu will be hosted by Xuantian Sect. He felt a little annoyed for a while. The place where Xuantian Sect was cultivated was so lively, and there were juggling groups... The scene was so inconsistent.
At this moment, the participating teams have finished entering the game, Luo Qianxue began to explain the rules of the team competition and emphasized the reward and punishment system.
Although the rules and systems have been uploaded in newspapers for several months, and flyers are distributed on the field to explain them, this is the norm.
"There are a total of 64 teams participating in this competition, divided into twelve groups, each with four teams. The group stage is based on a point system, and only two teams can qualify and enter the knockout round..." Luo Qianxue introduced a lot, and finally reached out to guide him: "Please ask the representatives of each team to come forward and draw lots and decide to group."
Taoist Yuqing of Xuantian Sect stepped forward and touched a small ball, showing the guests: "Group A No. 1."
Xue Mu smiled at Yulin: "It's actually the first game, don't have a round of tour."
Yulin rolled his eyes: "How is that possible?"
Xue Mu Youyou said, "Do you want to make a bet?"
“This sect prohibits gambling…”
"No eggs." Xue Mu leaned his head and asked Zhu Chenyao: "Do you bet?"
Zhu Chenyao knew what kind of bets would be between him and him, and her heart was slightly swayed. She didn't agree to it in front of so many people, but just said with a cold face: "I've been betting."
Xu Buduo narrowed his eyes on the other side.
It is a good business to open the market. In the past, all competitions of martial arts will also be opened. For example, when Luzhou Tianxia discussed martial arts, Xue Mu's gambling proposal was rejected by Yuan Zhong, but there are still people in the market to set up gambling, which is where human nature lies.
But the problem is that the uncertainty of the traditional betting game is not too great. Just like Chu Tianming, who is talking about martial arts in the world, because his performance is too outstanding, in the eyes of masters like Yuan Zhong, it is easy to predict who wins and who loses. Although there is a possibility of capsizing in the gutter, it is not very good. As a result, everyone bets Chu Tianming's bet, and it is useless to change the odds again and again, and the dealer still loses.
But this kind of team competition... seems to be that interesting...
Xu Buduo looked at Xue Mu, and Xue Mu happened to turn his head to look at him.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Xu didn't understand much. Xue Mu did have any ideas here, and it seemed that he would have to communicate later.
While speaking, many teams drew lottery tickets. The representative of the Magic Sect came forward and touched them, and suddenly became stunned.
Then the whole audience was in an uproar and expanded from the draw to the entire venue, with thunder and thunder.
"Group A, No. 2."
The first game of the game was the battle between the good and the demons!
Chapter completed!
