In Huaizuo Mansion, there is a large square, covering an area of more than ten acres, built with large pieces of bluestone. These bluestones look simple and unpretentious, but are actually extremely solid. They are collected from deep mountains and old forests, and are called "Afang Stone".
Withstanding an attack with power below that of a king, ordinary warriors can only scratch out faint traces even if they bombard them as much as they want.
The stone is strong and extremely valuable, I don't know how much more than gold and silver.
There is a saying among the public that the most valuable thing in Huaizuo Mansion is this square.
Afang stone is not easy to quarry, and it is difficult for the city wall of Huaizuo Mansion to be used. Only an Afang stone pillar is erected every ten feet for reinforcement.
Precious stones are used to build a square and serve as a competition arena. If it is made of other materials, if it is not strong enough, it will be broken every time it is fought, which will be a big headache.
Nowadays, when handsome competitions are held, the square naturally becomes the host place. In such a large place, ten stages are temporarily divided, and ten competitions can be held at the same time.
The preliminaries with a large number of people had just been held not long ago, and the smoke has not subsided, but the square has been renovated and people were sent to mop and clean it, making it look brand new.
Surrounding the square is a large open space that can accommodate ten thousand people; outside the open space, there are rows of buildings, including inns, restaurants and other types of shops. Each of them is a high-rise building, with the shortest one having six floors, and the highest
Yes, there are nine floors.
It is a high-rise building, but you can go to the square. From a high place, you can take in the dynamic landscape of the square and enjoy it.
Therefore, whenever a competition is held, many building locations immediately become hot spots and are sold at high prices. There are even smart businessmen who temporarily add seats to the roof and sell them based on the number of seats. They are densely packed, like auditoriums, and become a unique place.
scenery.
The Handsome Competition attracted much attention and brought together almost all the forces within the jurisdiction of Huaizuo Mansion. Although the contestants were young and handsome, the elders would also come to inspect and comment on the show.
Early this morning, countless people emerged on the streets, like slowly flowing water, and finally gathered in the square.
At this time, the handsome warriors who are qualified for the finals will not arrive so early, so most of the people who come are just casual people who are spectators and come early to grab their seats.
When we arrived at Chen time, the sun was rising, and the area around the square was already dark and overcrowded.
In the ocean of people, many voices of discussion are flowing together, just like waves.
Some of the main key points are the groups of soldiers with distinctive armors on display. All of them have strong auras and sharp eyes, and they are all Qi Dao level warriors.
This is the power of the government.
The imperial court relied on a huge force to expand its territory, and recruited a large number of martial arts masters. They were promised generous treatment and had the power of life and death. This naturally tempted many warriors to join the government as a large organization.
In a sense, the dynasty in the Divine Continent is equivalent to a huge sect. There are also various assessments and martial arts selections...
These are not things that Huangzhou can possess.
As a relatively mature social class form, order is very important. In the desert continent, resources are scarce, the population is sparse, and the forces of all parties are generally declining and disrupting each other. It is difficult to establish a large-scale unified country, and cities and counties are basically used as the basis.
unit.
There are elite government soldiers who are responsible for patrolling and maintaining order. Even though there are many people, the situation is still quite stable and there will be no big trouble.
The spectators grabbed seats in advance and couldn't stop talking, talking about the outstanding figures of this handsome competition.
There are tens of thousands of force representatives who have sent personnel to participate in the competition. And because it is held every three years, some of them are overage and cannot continue to participate, and there are also new ones who have grown up, forming a kind of "Yangtze River wave push".
The momentum of "front wave".
This world has always been like this, with new generations replacing old ones, and different reputations from generation to generation. There are too few people who can always stay at the top of the wave and remain standing. After they came all the way, most of them became the overlords of one party.
A person of this level will achieve success and fame.
As for the others, most of them were short-lived, blown away by the rain and wind. Or they were weak and depressed, or they encountered unexpected events and fell.
As for people, they will only pay attention to the successful ones. Just like seeing a river, the viewer will only marvel at the surging waves. Who wants to care about the mud, sand and gravel sinking to the bottom of the river?
The controversy in public opinion was noisy at first, but gradually many opinions converged and unified, and finally the focus was only on a dozen or so individuals.
These include eight seeded players and four warriors who have fought hard in the qualifiers.
The seed contestants are uniquely endowed with extraordinary cultivation, which makes them stand out among thousands of people without having to go through auditions. As for the other four warriors, they have overcome obstacles all the way and performed outstandingly, and have also conquered the hearts of many spectators.
Heart.
In this way, the limelight can overshadow others.
It is obvious to all, and the level of cultivation is even more intuitive. In fact, it is not difficult to select a dozen top candidates from more than a hundred people.
Difficult, probably more difficult than the ranking of the top three. It is not easy to guess correctly. After all, many candidates this year are about the same strength. There are too many variables in winning or losing. It depends.
How does it perform in actual combat? Which one is better?
Over and over again, the names of the three young masters of Huaizuo Mansion have been mentioned again and again, and there is always no way around it. Regarding the advantages and strengths of the three people, it is a cliché. It has been said for several years, and there is nothing new.
On the other hand, there was a swordsman who fought out from the audition, named "Zhou Youhuai". He was originally unknown, but in this competition, he relied on a Qimen rapier to defeat several strong opponents who were highly favored.
, it was a surprise to reach the finals.
As they talked, the conversation gradually turned to the three people who were participating with special invitation cards.
Folk opinion has always been unfavorable to this type of people, who regard them as those who use the back door. Among them, Liang Qiufeng's name is especially despised.
You must know that at the beginning, everyone knew that Zhongnan Jianmen could not find anyone to participate in the competition, so they put up the exemption card early and made it clear that they would give up and not participate.
Unexpectedly, after a few days, a wild card was found and Liang Qiufeng, who was said to have just returned from mountain training, appeared to compete.
I don’t know why the three major families in Huaizuo Mansion jointly recommended him. It seems that Master Lu is behind the scenes.
Liang Qiufeng was young and had only so-so cultivation, but he became a master. Such a situation was rare not only in Huaizuo Mansion but also in the continent.
Speaking of which, it is a rare thing for a dignified leader to participate in a handsome competition.
Many people are looking forward to Liang Qiufeng's appearance, not because they want to see his grace, but because they want to see how embarrassing it would be for the leader of a faction to be defeated in the ring.
Suddenly, a piece of news came out, causing an uproar.
It turns out that the news that Liang Qiufeng successfully cracked the Baishou secret realm and entered Yin Yin's high-level martial arts was passed on.
The secret realm of Baishou is not located in the Tang Dynasty, but is far away in another country, but this does not prevent it from being a holy land in the minds of warriors all over the world. Many of them have gone there specifically to visit.
Liang Qiufeng obtained the qualification to enter the Baishou Secret Realm, and at the same time he walked in front of the sacred saint and Young Master Longma. This news was enough to cause a sensation.
In just a moment, it spread throughout the entire Huaizuo Mansion.
However, at that time, except for Su Xingping and others, no one else from Huaizuo Mansion saw Liang Qiufeng entering the Baishou Secret Realm. For a while, doubtful voices arose, questioning the authenticity of the news.
On the mainland, there are too many rumors about wind and rain.
Besides, if Liang Qiufeng really entered the Baishou Secret Realm, would he come out so quickly?
However, after this incident, Liang Qiufeng became the focus of people's attention.
…
The morning sun was shining brightly, and Liang Qiufeng woke up on time. After washing briefly, he did some daily homework in the yard and practiced his sword.
Then Yang Shuanglan's men brought breakfast.
By this time, Zhang Jiangshan and Gu Chengyang had also finished cleaning up and were having dinner together.
Seeing Liang Qiufeng's calm and nonchalant expression, the two of them couldn't say anything encouraging.
Throughout the ups and downs along the way, Liang Qiufeng has been the one taking the lead. Why do they need to do ideological work?
After eating, not long after, Yang Shuanglan came over in person and ordered someone to drive a carriage to carry Liang Qiufeng and the three of them to the square together.
The carriage rattled and couldn't move near the square, so I had to dismount.
With the sound of people shouting, Zhang Jiangshan and Gu Chengyang looked at each other and sighed, feeling that they were like insignificant ants being ignored in this crowd of people, disappearing into the crowd.
At this moment, the heated discussion about Liang Qiu Feng entering the Bai Shou secret realm came into his ears. Liang Qiu Feng’s name was actually known all over the world! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster.
