The turning point occurred because Star Gate leader Shang Mingbo stepped forward and put forward a condition.
But I saw him secretly using his methods, and after rubbing his palms for a while, he took out an object from nowhere: about three feet high, nearly two arms wide, with gold and jade as the surface, and evenly trimmed.
It's a scale.
The only thing that seems to be special about this balance is that the pallets on both sides are not shallow bottom-shaped, but two standard hemispheres, rich in color, and firmly buckled in the cloud silk mesh pockets. superior.
Long Fangyun said quietly: "If you want to use the 'Eight-Sheng Tight Cloud Ring' method, you must use the secret treasure of your sect to a higher grade on this object."
Wei Zong smiled faintly and did not bargain. He happily took out eight rings from his sleeves. Their color was black and yellow, with frosted rough lines visible. They were both pure and heavy. They were indeed extraordinary treasures.
Long Fangyun reached out and took it, randomly placing the four rings on the left and the four rings on the right, and weighed them respectively.
Let’s just say that this scale is called the “True Benefit Scale” and is one of the “Nine Treasures” of the Star Gate.
Shang Mingbo brought a total of three treasures among the "Nine Treasures" in the Star Gate during this trip. Except for the "Five Star Map" which was specially prepared for this war, the other two items had their own reasons.
One of them is a true treasure that has the magical functions of escaping and concealing. Shang Mingbo will never take it out and show it to others until the critical moment; and the true purpose of this "True Benefit Scale" is to train the person who holds it. Related. Used here, it is just a flexible way to meet the situation.
A "balance" in the usual sense refers to whether the weight on both sides of the pallet is equal; but a "Zhenyi scale" is different. If there are qi, marks, inscriptions, etc. hidden in it and connected to the outside, then The contents cannot be balanced, so that they appear to be swaying from side to side, sinking and floating.
In other words, if it can withstand the test of this scale, it means that the things being tested are self-sufficient and will not be secretly manipulated by others.
This is just the first step.
It is conceivable that even if the object being weighed does not have hidden inner energy, if the physical properties of the two sides are different, it will still be impossible to achieve balance.
Therefore, in the second step, this scale also verified that the four rings on the left and right have exactly the same physical properties.
After Long Fangyun and Shang Mingbo exchanged secret words for a while, Shang Mingbo took a step forward, randomly picked up two rings each, and exchanged them. After a slight trembling, the "Zhenyi Scale" returned to absolute balance. situation.
At this time, Long Fangyun was particularly cautious. He asked the basic functions of the "True Benefit Scale" in detail. When he learned that this treasure was a secret treasure of the Star Gate, it had never been seen by outsiders; and it was practiced with Shang Mingbo. It depends on the moment, it doesn't mean he can carry it with him all the time, and then he can completely relax.
Wei Zong seemed to be too polite and said with a smile: "Is it correct? Wei might as well give fellow Taoist Master Long another reassurance. You can choose four out of the eight rings. It's up to you to choose first."
Long Fangyun was not polite to him, and said lightly: "That's very good."
Each side returns to its own formation.
The "True Benefit Scale" and the eight rings on the scale were tacitly placed here, waiting for those who are about to fight to take it.
The Chenhai Sect has already made arrangements.
At this time, there are only a few people in the Zhen Palace. The remaining more than 190 people have long been hidden in Zhengchen Mountain.
After returning to the "Dingyuan Zhen Palace" in Beiying, Long Fangyun raised his hand, and a conch about a foot long appeared in his palm. But he heard him whisper: "It doesn't matter who will appear in the first battle. There are those who are brave and proud." , please come forward and give it a try." By the way, he also talked about how to speed up the fight and how each of them would fight with the "eight-liter tight cloud ring".
After a while, a voice echoed from the conch: "Liu will make arrangements now."
Thousands of miles away, in the Zhengchen Mountain, holding the other half of the Xuanyin Dharma Conch, the person responsible for delivering the message was none other than Elder Liu of the Chenhai Sect.
This method of mobilizing manpower, which combines the Xuanyin Dharma Conch and the Five-Star Chart, is indeed very convenient. However, after three or four breaths of time, after the main hall of the Zhen Palace, an extra person appeared at the exit designated by the Five-Star Chart.
This man was dressed in a red robe, tall and thin, with a red scarf on his head, and his face was a shade of red. He came up and bowed slightly to Long Fang Yun, then went straight into the mid-air formation.
This is a guest from a famous family, his surname is Zeng and his name is Bu. Although the clothes he wears look very cheap, as if he is just a low-level warrior. But in fact, in terms of merit, this person has recruited forty-eight people from the Star Gate side.
Among the guests, he is strong enough to occupy an upper mid-range position.
On the side of Shuangji Hall, there was a middle-aged monk wearing a straight blue cloth.
After the two of them bowed to each other, the green-robed monk did as Yu Zong said, reaching out and making a "please" gesture.
Zeng Bu hesitated for a moment, then took one ring from the left plate and three rings from the right plate on the "Zhenyi Scale". With a shake of his backhand, the four rings had tightened around his wrists and ankles.
The monk in green from Shuangji Hall then put on the remaining four rings.
After the two people clasped their fists and saluted, they immediately fought together.
The golden wind is fierce, the autumn frost is blowing, and the scattered clouds are rising and falling.
In the real palace, Long Fangyun looked at the battlefield from a distance, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly smiled and said: "We have fought thousands of times, who has seen the scenery in front of us? How strange? How magnificent!"
Le Siyuan, Shang Mingbo, Jin Zhihe and others were overjoyed, but also looked calm and relaxed, and nodded in agreement.
Gui Wugui smiled and said nothing.
It turns out that although all of you in front of me have extraordinary abilities and have personally experienced and watched countless battles, you have never seen this farewell scene before you.
High-ranking officials have their own training ground for martial arts competitions within the inner circle; as for outdoor battles, most of them involve hand-to-hand combat, and you are in the middle of it. And the competition in front of you was chosen to be in an open space with a radius of hundreds of miles, surrounded by
It is full of deep valleys and peaks, outlining a complete and empty space.
In addition, the people watching the battle on both sides unexpectedly kept their distance, each occupying the valley mouth in the north and south, and having a panoramic view of one side. This was a novel feeling that had never been seen before.
In this way, as Zeng Bu and the monk in green robes fight, you can easily appreciate how the vibrating energy of the two men stirs up an area and spreads the energy through the heaven and the earth. It seems that this land of a hundred miles is like a clear and clear sea.
Zeng Bu and the two of them stirred the lake like two wooden sticks. In addition, the sound of wind whistling disappeared and appeared, which added to the flavor.
Jump out and see the whole wall from a distance.
In the past, when attention was focused on the details of fighting, there were indeed many subtleties and mysteries; but today, in the macroscopic world between heaven and man, the evolution of a party's atmosphere is even more wonderful.
Unexpectedly, after three breaths, when Jin Zhihe and Shang Mingbo saw that the leader Long Fangyun and Le Siyuan were in the middle of nowhere, their expressions suddenly changed, and they said "ugh" in unison.
Gui Wujiu also frowned slightly.
It turned out that the fight lasted only a few dozen breaths. The green-robed monk punched Zeng Bu in the chest; Zeng Bu hit the green-robed monk on the shoulder with his backhand.
Both sides were hit at the same time, and the fight came to an abrupt end.
After the two men showed their methods in the first fist and kick fight, Le Siyuan and Long Fangyun both concluded that this was a good match. Both sides had roughly the same chance of winning, and they had to go through a hard fight. However, they did not expect it.
The difference was determined so quickly.
Long Fangyun's eyes narrowed slightly, he pondered for a long time, and then said: "According to common sense, this move should be able to be dismantled. After one fight, they will be separated, and then they will make progress. The reason why it evolved into exchanging lives is
The pattern of fate is that the resistance of the four rings above the hands and feet is gradually increasing. If you deliberately adjust the response to ensure that the offensive is not reduced, you will lose flexibility invisibly, and you will inevitably be overwhelmed and unable to recover."
Le Siyuan nodded and added: "Exactly. But if you don't use your strength and let it block you, it is tantamount to being trapped in poverty, but it is inappropriate."
It seems that the effectiveness of this "eight-liter tight cloud ring" in accelerating the battle process has been proven.
In the battlefield, the green-robed monk slowly stood up and bowed to the north.
After Zeng Bu fell to the ground, there was no movement, so he was obviously dead.
After assessing the achievements of the green-robed monk, Long Fangyun adjusted the Xuanyin Magic Conch and ordered the second person to go into battle. He let the green-robed monk rest for more than ten seconds before taking action.
This person is one of the fifty-two elders of the Chenhai Sect, and he has indeed fulfilled his mission and successfully equalized.
…
Half an hour later.
Long Fangyun, Le Siyuan, Shang Mingbo and others all frowned.
In terms of the battle situation, in fact, the Chenhai Sect was not at a disadvantage, but on the contrary, was slightly ahead.
At this time, the Chenhai Sect's side had already sent out its eighth person, while the Shuangji Palace had already lost ten people and was down to its eleventh person.
But to everyone's surprise, the pace of this battle was so fast! In just half an hour, nearly twenty battles had already occurred. If this speed was maintained, it would take a day and a night.
, this huge wheel arena with 400 people participating in the battle is about to come to an end.
What is even more unexpected is that the casualties were too heavy!
Among the seven people from the Chenhai Sect who had already appeared, there was only one guest who had both merit, courage and luck. After winning three consecutive victories, he took the initiative to leave the game and escaped unscathed. Of the other six people, four died and two were seriously injured.
, even if the injury is cured, it will never regain its former fighting strength.
The Chenhai Sect's side was not much better. Of the ten men who fought, only two of them were not seriously injured due to some unforeseen circumstances and were completely defeated. Of the remaining eight men, four died in the battle and four were seriously injured.
By this time, it was obvious that he was not to blame.
This "Eight Liter Tight Cloud Ring" fighting technique seems to speed up the rhythm of the fighting. But its real effect is to put the people fighting in a situation where their natural strength can be unleashed but cannot be restrained, and they can only die and be injured.
Even to the point of dying together.
With this constraint, protecting oneself is already too much to ask for.
Long Fangyun glanced at Gui Wujiu, cupped his hands and said, "Today's situation is just as Gui Daoist friend expected at the beginning. I don't know what good strategy my friend has?"
Gui Wujiu said at the beginning that if the consumption was equal, and the Chenhai Sect seemed to have the upper hand, this would be the most uncomfortable situation. But in fact, the situation at hand was more serious than Gui Wujiu said - no matter how much he overestimated it in advance
Everyone thought that the casualties in the battle were only about one-third; no one thought that human lives would really be needed to fill them.
Gui Wujiu said slowly: "Then we have to send out strong players first, hoping to win consecutively."
