Chapter 162 Going up the mountain

The car drove all the way up the mountain and parked in the open-air parking lot outside the Taoist temple.

"The competition officially starts tomorrow. People from Xuanxie came two days ago, and you are the latest to arrive." Liu Ergou got off the car, "At four o'clock, the judges will meet and have a simple meeting to talk about themselves. We will have a meal after the meeting to get to know each other.”

Gu Qingyin responded and asked: "How long will the competition last?"

Liu Ergou: "About a week, the first day is the internal trial, the second day is the competition, the third day is the semi-finals, the fourth day is the finals, the fifth day is the challenge, and the sixth day is free competition."

"The competition is divided into talismans, formations, spells and fighting. The time is not certain. If the current round of competition cannot be completed within one day, it will be postponed to the next day."

Gu Qingyin nodded and asked the key question, "How is the food at your Taoist temple?"

Liu Ergou laughed, "Not bad."

Gu Qingyin smiled reassuringly, "Are there many people coming to watch during the competition?"

"Yes, every competition is open to the public. You can come in if you buy a ticket."

Gu Qingyin sighed, "You guys really know how to do business."

Liu Ergou chuckled, "After all, it is considered a grand event. If it is free and open, there will definitely be a lot of people coming. The Taoist temple is not that big."

The two of them were walking and chatting. People who passed by would stop to bow to Liu Ergou, or say hello with a smile, and then look at Gu Qingyin without any trace or openly.

Liu Ergou introduced several people to Gu Qingyin based on their identities, basically all of them were from their generation. When they heard Gu Qingyin's name, they all had expressions like "It's you."

Gu Qingyin was confused. Is she so famous now?

Liu Ergou was a little embarrassed. He glared at a few people without leaving any trace and told them to leave quickly.

Gu Qingyin didn't know what he was thinking, but now he has given up. If Gu Qingyin finds out again, it will be extremely embarrassing, and he will no longer even be friends.

After a short rest in the living room, Gu Qingyin, led by the little Taoist priest, went to the conference hall and met with the organizer and several judges.

The people who came to Xuan Xie were all acquaintances, Elder Zhang and Elder Miao. They both felt a little uncomfortable when they saw Gu Qingyin. They only nodded slightly in greeting, then turned around and started chatting with the people around them.

The judge here at Wudang Mountain is Liu Ergou's senior brother named Liu Yang, a very prestigious Taoist priest. The judges of Longhua Temple are the presiding disciples, whose Buddhist name is Cihang.

Gu Qingyin politely chatted with the two of them for a few words, and then the current head of Wudang Mountain, Taoist priest Lin Jiran, came.

Everyone stopped talking and stood up to greet him.

"Taoist Lin."

"Master Lin."

The names are different, but they are all very respectful.

Lin Jiran nodded calmly, then raised her head and walked to Gu Qingyin, looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "Grown up."

Gu Qingyin smiled and said, "Uncle Lin, long time no see."

"It has indeed been long enough." Lin Jiran sighed, "The last time I saw you, you were a child who couldn't even use the fire charm, and now you can be a judge."

Gu Qingyin's old face suddenly turned red.

The first time I met Lin Jiran was on the hilltop where she lived with her master. At that time, she practiced spells every day. Every time I master something, I want Master to see it and praise her.

As a result, when he got excited, the fire talisman lost control and set Lin Jiran's beard on fire.

"Don't mention what happened back then." Gu Qingyin asked in a low voice, "There are so many people, please save some face for me."

Lin Jiran laughed loudly, walked inside, sat on the main seat, and said crisply, "Everyone, let's keep the story short."

The rest of the people also took their seats, and the meeting officially began.

Gu Qingyin planned to listen carefully at first, but the people present were all elderly people. As soon as they spoke in an official tone and spoke at length, she felt sleepy within a few minutes.

Gu Qingyin sat where she was, appearing to be concentrating, but actually her mind was empty. Until someone called her, "Master Gu Tian, you should have no objection to this arrangement, right?"

Gu Qingyin's body trembled slightly, her eyes suddenly became clear, and she said seriously: "No problem."

After saying this, she raised her eyes and met Lin Jiran's smiling eyes.

Gu Qingyin pretended to be calm, smiled politely and looked away.

Not long after, the meeting ended.

Gu Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave when she heard Lin Jiran say: "Qingyin will stay here for a while."

Even if she doesn't want to, Gu Qingyin has to stay. In someone else's territory, even if she runs away, where can she go?

After everyone left, Gu Qingyin stepped forward and said, "Uncle Lin, do you have anything to do with me?"

Lin Jiran glanced at her, "Do you know which aspect you are mainly responsible for judging?"

Gu Qingyin was silent. Of course she didn't know. She originally wanted to ask Huo Yunjing when she went back.

Huo Yunjing has a lot of experience in meetings. Even though she was just an observer, she must have remembered it clearly and organized it clearly. It was much more useful than listening to it herself.

Lin Jiran shook her head, "You are specifically responsible for scoring the talisman, and you don't need to consider other aspects. For the talisman competition, you will be the main judge."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Gu Qingyin smiled sheepishly, "I know, thank you, Uncle Lin."

Lin Jiran burst into laughter and spoke again after two seconds of silence, "Your master, have you ever come back to see you?"

Gu Qingyin's heart moved and she shook her head, "No."

Lin Jiran asked this naturally because the master had never appeared in front of him. Since the master didn't show up, it was best for her to pretend that she had never seen the master.

In this way, no matter whether the master didn't show up on purpose or had other secrets, her answer would not ruin things.

"That's all." Lin Jiran sighed thoughtfully, "Let's go eat."

Gu Qingyin blinked, bowed obediently and left.

After the dinner, Gu Qingyin returned to her living room and quickly started washing up.

At this point, she had to complain about how old it was, and this Taoist temple didn't even have a water heater or air conditioner!

Fortunately, the weather is getting warmer now, otherwise Gu Qingyin wouldn't know how to sleep that night.

After washing, Gu Qingyin sat cross-legged on the bed, unshakably practicing before going to bed.

Huo Yunjing, who had been holding it in for a long time, came out and sat cross-legged under the moonlight, practicing with Gu Qingyin.

Half an hour later, one person and one ghost opened their eyes at the same time.

Gu Qingyin raised her eyebrows, "You seem to be less and less willing to stay in the pendant recently."

Huo Yunjing did not deny it and said bluntly: "I want to look at you."

Gu Qingyin was noncommittal and fell back to prepare for sleep.

Huo Yunjing floated onto the bed, covered her with a quilt, then hugged her across the quilt and said, "Good night, my wife."

Gu Qingyin closed her eyes and said vaguely: "Wake me up at seven o'clock tomorrow."

"Okay, go to sleep." Huo Yunjing lowered his head and kissed her on the face.

Gu Qingyin shrank her neck from the ice, and after a while, her breathing gradually slowed down.

There was no talk all night, but early the next morning, the entire Taoist temple was bustling with activity.

The state is not good, just one chapter today
