The sound of the flute was melodious and distant. When everyone heard the sound, the scene of long grass and flying orioles gradually emerged in their minds. The scene of the blue sky and the scenery in Yulinyuan complemented each other even more.
Even Xu Zhi was moved by the sound of the flute and felt her heart gradually calming down.
After the song was played, everyone could only feel the lingering sound, lingering around the music, making people forget to leave. For a moment, everyone was speechless.
After a while, King Chu clapped his hands and praised: "I never thought that Haoran, you are so knowledgeable about music theory."
Li Haoran bowed and saluted: "Wei Chen is just a rudimentary person. That’s all, it’s really not elegant.”
"You are my great Chu Tianjiao, there is no need to be so humble!" King Chu's words were full of admiration for Li Haoran.
With these two gems in front of them, most of the thoughts of the various aristocratic families who want to express themselves are lost, lest they fail to show their own excellence, but instead humiliate themselves and be compared.
Of course, in the end, there were still a few children from aristocratic families who walked into the arena, either reciting poems and composing poems, or playing the piano and composing music, but compared to the first two, they could only be described as ordinary.
Finally, the King of Chu looked around at everyone and said: "This literary test should be headed by Haoran. Do you have any objections?"
Zhou Lang was just a weak scholar, but Li Haoran was already He was the powerful director of the Wuma Anti-Crime Department, so no one had any doubts.
Li Haoran finally won the test and received a glass of royal wine from the king of Chu.
Then, the King of Chu smiled and said: "The country is governed by literature, and the country is defended by military force. This second test is naturally about martial arts. Today, the demon cultivators in Northern Xinjiang are peeking at my great Chu. Fan Wu Chu People should protect the country and eliminate demons."
"I have set up a martial arts performance space in this Yulin Garden. All heroes can enter and try it. The winner in the end will naturally be the leader of this test. ”
After hearing about the competition at this level, Xu Zhi was eager to give it a try. It was more in line with her taste to fight directly instead of talking about words.
Besides, if nothing happens, it will be difficult for the King of Chu to find out any clues when he is calm.
Of course, the vast majority of the disciples from the aristocratic families have ugly faces. The Chu Kingdom's martial culture is already weak, and most of the disciples from the aristocratic families only talk about cultivation and do not care about actual combat.
But I have already failed in the literary test just now. It is naturally difficult to escape from the martial arts test now. Moreover, most of the people from the aristocratic families know each other, so they naturally thought of it immediately. If they can get into it, they can Combining verticality and horizontality may not mean there is no chance at all.
The King of Chu waved his hand, and a water curtain suddenly appeared in the field. On the water curtain, a beautiful landscape of mountains, rivers and lakes was projected.
"My dear friends, you can watch with me here, the heroic figures of all the geniuses of Chu!"
Chu Lingran, who was sitting on the high platform, saw that Xu Zhi also acted. , whispered a few words in the ear of King Chu, and quickly came to the high platform where Xu Zhi was. The girl with picturesque features said softly: "Sister Xu Zhi, do you also want to participate in the martial arts fight?"
Xu Zhi nodded and said: "The great Chu Tianjiao are all here, I naturally want to meet them for a while."
Chu Lingran's eyes showed some concern, "Sister Xu Zhi, you Be safe!”
Although I was worried about Xu Zhi’s safety, seeing that Xu Zhi was willing to fight, I felt a little sweet in my heart.
Xu Zhi walked down the high platform and stood with a group of children from aristocratic families. When the others saw that there were women attending, they all looked at Xu Zhi with surprise.
Many young ladies from aristocratic families on the high platform were even more surprised when they saw Xu Zhi’s figure. In their opinion, this Taoist nun should be like herself and others, standing here, quietly admiring those things. The fight between the men was all about, so why did he end it himself?
Even the King of Chu noticed this exception in the crowd. He pointed at Xu Zhi and asked, "Is this person the friend Ling Ran made recently?"
After receiving a positive answer, he looked at him with appreciation. He said: "Ling Ran, you really have a good eye." Under the control of King Chu, the space vibrated slightly, and a ripple like a water wave suddenly rose in the field.
Xu Zhi first stretched out her hand and felt it. After not noticing anything strange, she walked straight in.
After a slight trance, Xu Zhi came to a new world, and a canyon came into her eyes.
Xu Zhi used her spiritual sense to explore around. The canyon was steep and cut the sky into a line. In the middle of the canyon, there was a young man in rich clothes and jade fur, looking around in confusion.
The moment he saw Xu Zhi, he was first surprised, and then happy. The first enemy he encountered turned out to be a woman.
After seeing Xu Zhi's appearance clearly, he even shouted: "I don't want to fight with women. If you hand over the token in your hand to me, I will let you go out with dignity."
Everyone participating in the battle wears a token. If the token is lost, they will lose their qualifications to participate in the battle and will be kicked out of the formation.
Xu Zhi did not pay attention to the young man in front of him at all. This man's cultivation level was pretty good. He had already reached the level of cultivation and was considered to be in the first echelon among the participants in the war.
Among the many young heroes who participated in the war, only four or five people including Li Haoran were able to cultivate the golden elixir. Most of the others were Tongxuan and Dharma masters.
However, there is no need to worry that Li Haoran and others will clear the field directly, because the real purpose of this battle is to show oneself in front of the King of Chu, not to really compete for the first place in Laoshizi.
Fighting in the same situation and creating their own glorious chapter is their goal. If they just kill the weak, how can they attract the attention of King Chu and win the heart of Princess Lingran? Instead, they will only Bringing humiliation to oneself.
And the reason why many disciples of aristocratic families entered this place is because they wanted to understand this... As monks who understand the mystery and develop magic, even if they are unlucky and encounter those golden elixirs, If he can rely on his own strength to survive a few more attacks, he will be outstanding enough.
The strength Xu Zhi showed was neither strong nor weak. It was at the level of just entering the Yanfa.
Facing the aggressive young man, Xu Zhi did not make any unnecessary moves, but walked over gently. However, as his footsteps approached, the young man felt that his magic power was suddenly not flowing smoothly, and his consciousness was gradually weakened.
It seems that I am losing my cultivation bit by bit and becoming a mortal.
Faced with such weird magical powers, he wanted to scream in panic, but found that even his own voice had been deprived of him, and he could not say a word.
"What...what...ghost..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Zhi had already walked in front of him, and just nodded slightly. The descendant of the aristocratic family has fallen to the ground.
"The first eliminated person has appeared!" The cultivators watching in Yulinyuan looked at the water curtain in surprise, where the number of survivors was displayed.
The Minister of Rites looked extremely ugly, because that young man was his biological son.
Just when he felt embarrassed, a replay of the young man's defeat was played on the water screen.
Looking at Xu Zhi’s magical powers that had no pyrotechnics, even the great monks outside the venue felt very strange, and couldn’t help but pay more attention to the scene where Xu Zhi appeared.
At the same time, deep in the palace of King Chu, a man's voice sounded.
"The sacrifices are in place, it's almost time."
The voice paused and continued, "Let's... open the secret realm of Ksitigarbha!"
