Chapter 36 Chapter 35: The Beginning of the Great War

In the early morning, Master Xuanyu notified Li Hongfei, Zhang Aoxue, and Lu Yun that the competition would be rescheduled for the afternoon.In the morning, he asked the three of them to exercise more and adjust their breathing, especially Aoxue and Lu Yun had consumed a lot of real energy and needed more time to recover. Calling Ziyang Zhenren and Master Jingyue aside, Xuanyu sighed softly: "The candidates for this competition have been announced, they are randomly selected, and no one should be different. As long as they are not in the same discipline, whoever is drawn is the one who wins." , everyone can't say anything. This time the candidate is very bad for us Yiyuan, alas."

That sigh made Ziyang and Jingyue feel uneasy, and they both looked at him anxiously, waiting for his next result.Seeing that he was silent, Master Ziyang couldn't help asking: "Senior brother, what's the situation, you still tell me, we are all anxious if you are like this. Tell me quickly." Xuanyu sighed softly, looked at the sky slightly and said, "This time, the twelve people will be divided into six groups, and the meeting will be held in the afternoon. The candidates for the six groups will be Ben from Bodhi Academy vs. Yunhua from Daoyuan, and Cang from Phoenix Academy. The moon is against Bodhi Academy's Jiechan, Daoyuan Wuwang is against Xiaoyuan's Du Li, Tianjianyuan's Jian Wuchen is against Hongfei, Zhanyu is against Aoxue, and Cowardly Garden is against Lu Yun."

When Ziyang and Jingyue heard this, their faces changed slightly.Such a result is indeed unexpected.First of all, with Li Hongfei's cultivation level against Jian Wuchen, the result may be one word - lose; secondly, if Lu Yun is against Bi Tian, ​​the number one master of Confucianism Garden, the result may be similar.The only hope is that Sending to Aoxue can defeat Zhanyu.That way, Yi Yuan can hope that one of them can enter the top six. Master Ziyang said with a displeased face: "How could this be? This time we came, why did we always face off against the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Academy? First, Yun Feng faced that Zhan Yu, then Lu Yun faced Leng Jiahao, Now even Hong Fei and Aoxue are facing the disciples of Tianjian Academy. Isn't this a battle between our Yiyuan and Tianjian Academy? It’s really annoying, it’s just unreasonable.”

Master Jingyue sighed slightly, and said softly: "Maybe it's doomed for such a thing to happen. We cultivators care most about resignation. Now that everything is settled, let's face it bravely. No matter how we say this time, we Yi Yuan's strength is obvious to all. This kind of competition cannot be completely fair and reasonable, so there will always be people who suffer." Master Ziyang said angrily: "Even if someone wants to suffer, they can't always let us Yiyuan suffer. Why don't they deal with Jian Wuchen? They leave the most powerful opponent to us. During the battle, all three of our disciples were eliminated, and we were placed at the bottom of the list. Hmph, I'm just not happy." After speaking, he looked a little excited.

Master Xuanyu glanced at him, and said softly: "Forget it, since this matter is a foregone conclusion, don't be angry. After all, there is no comparison, who knows the final result? Although this time, everyone It is predicted that Jian Wuchen will become the champion of this year, but the world is impermanent, and it will not be the end, who knows. If anyone is sulking here, why not visit Lu Yun more and encourage him. From his victory yesterday Judging from Leng Jiahao's situation, he may not necessarily lose in today's battle." Master Ziyang's expression improved a little when he heard this, he glanced at the two of them, turned around and went into the cave.Seeing his back disappearing into the cave, Master Xuanyu said softly: "This time, Aoxue has the best chance of winning among the three. She has a divine sword in her hand, and with her cultivation base, she should have a great hope of defeating that Zhanyu. As for Hongfei, it is almost certain that there is no chance. As for Lu Yun, I always have a strange feeling about him, but I can't grasp it or say it. His battle with Bi Tian , is still unknown.”

Master Jingyue looked into the distance, and said softly: "Actually, the battle between Hongfei and that Jian Wuchen is also of great significance. At least he can fight with all his strength to test that Jian Wuchen's cultivation. How strong is it? At the same time, even if he loses, maybe he can also make that Jian Wuchen lose a lot of vitality, and maybe he will be injured. Then tomorrow's final battle may not necessarily be their stable residence in Tianjian Academy. The first one. No one dares to say who will get the prize at that time." Master Xuanyu heard this, with a pensive look on his face.After a long time, he opened his mouth and said: "I roughly guessed that the people who are most likely to enter the top six in this battle should be Jian Wuchen, Ben Yi, Wu Wang, Cang Yue, Aoxue and Bi Tian. If today Hong Fei fought with that Jian Wuchen, causing his vitality to be severely injured. Then, among the other five, who will benefit the most? Ben Yi from Bodhi Academy, or Cang Yue from Phoenix Academy?"

Master Jingyue was silent when he heard the words, apparently also analyzing his words.As for the cultivation of those few people, because they have never compared before, all inferences are just guesses, and no one can say for sure.Looking up and taking a look at Xuanyu, Master Jingyue said softly, "You'll know when the time comes, won't you?" After speaking, he turned and went into the cave. After standing quietly at the door for a while, Master Xuanyu sighed and left. In the cave, Lu Yun did not practice, but was talking with Yun Feng.When Master Ziyang came in and saw the two of them chatting, he couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you take the opportunity to recover your true energy, and instead chat here? What are you talking about, so energetic?" There was a sigh.

Lu Yun looked at him, saw a little worry in his eyes, and knew in his heart that he must be worried about the competition.Lu Yun smiled calmly and said with a calm expression: "Master, please sit down, are we talking about the competition? Yun Feng was just joking with me, asking me to win the Qiankun bag so that I can kill the majesty of Tianjian Academy , let us Yiyuan also become the head of the Sixth Academy. That way we can become popular and no longer be looked down upon by others." Lin Yunfeng on the side smiled and said: "Yes, that's the way. It's better to hit that sword with no dust all over the ground, and it will be even more prestigious. At that time, I'm afraid the reputation of Tianjian Academy will be discredited. Hehe, but if that's the case, Our Yi Yuan is very popular. Haha." After speaking, he looked smug, as if Lu Yun had already defeated Tianjian Academy and won the first place.

Master Ziyang had a bitter smile on his face when he heard the words, and sighed slightly: "Don't be too hearty, the final battle is still far away now. If you want to have a final chance to compete with that Jian Wuchen, the competition in the afternoon You must work hard, and only by defeating your opponent step by step can you hope to pursue that final number one. If you can’t pass today, how can you come to tomorrow’s game?” Hearing this, Lu Yun's heart sank slightly, and he heard something from the master's words.The most obvious thing is that in the battle in the afternoon, the identity of the opponent may not be simple, he must be a very difficult character, otherwise the master would not be so worried.Looking at the master's slightly bitter smile, Lu Yun's eyes flashed, and a powerful momentum erupted instantly.That powerful aura instantly permeated the entire cave, and an unwavering determination was quietly revealed from that aura.The powerful momentum caused the surrounding things to vibrate, countless small stones on the ground were smashed by the powerful airflow in an instant, turned into a layer of mist, and floated in the air.

Both Lin Yunfeng and Master Ziyang's expressions changed, and they looked at Lu Yun in shock.Slowly, both of them felt his determination and perseverance, and couldn't help showing a gratified smile on their faces.Immortal Ziyang's eyes were bright, he looked straight at Lu Yun, and said in a deep voice: "Good job, you have such determination and confidence, master, I am very happy. After so many years, our Yangyuan finally produced a Lu Yun, He will win glory for our Yangyuan and the supreme glory for Yiyuan. All of us will be proud of you, come on, I believe you will win this afternoon."

Seeing the master's expression, Lu Yun was deeply touched.As for the master's desire for a child to become a dragon, he realized at this moment that it turned out to be so strong.At this time, Lu Yun realized that under the master's kind face, there was a strong heart that refused to admit defeat for a moment.Years of worry made him silent, and at this moment, he became his only hope, and he completely revealed the attachment that had been hidden deep in his heart for many years. Lu Yun nodded vigorously, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely win this afternoon, no matter who the other party is. I will make Yi Yuan famous all over the world, and Yang Yuan will have a great reputation. Just watch." Just like an oath, at this moment, Lu Yun was deeply moved by Master Ziyang's obsession with hating iron into steel.Now that you're here, you can't disappoint everyone. Master Ziyang looked at Lu Yun, and said excitedly: "Okay, okay, you are indeed a disciple of my Yangyuan, I will cheer for you. Work harder this afternoon, the opponent is Bi Tian from Confucian Garden, I hope you will do your best, No matter what, you will always be the pride in my heart." After speaking, as if afraid that Lu Yun would see the excited tears in his eyes, Master Ziyang turned around, stood still for a while, and then left. Watching the master leave, Lu Yun suddenly thought that he had never really regarded him as a master before, but at this moment, Lu Yun realized that his shadow had been deeply imprinted in his mind.Although he didn't teach him many formulas, his expectation and concern for him, even in just two short years, are still unforgettable for Lu Yun. Lin Yunfeng's complexion changed slightly, and he said softly: "Lu Yun, it seems that you have to work hard this afternoon. Then Bi Tian is the number one expert in the cowardly garden, and he is not so easy to deal with. His cultivation is so deep, I am afraid that it is not easy He won. Are you sure about him?" After speaking, he looked at him with concern in his eyes. Lu Yun's expression changed slightly. To be honest, he didn't want to fight Bi Tian.There are many reasons, the main reason is that the relationship between Yuyuan and Yiyuan has always been relatively good, and once he wins, then this time Confucianism Garden will have no chance with Qianqiang.That would be a very big blow to Confucianism Garden.After glancing at Yunfeng, Lu Yun said calmly, "It's a pity that I didn't meet that Zhanyu, otherwise I would have personally avenged you. As for Bi Tian, ​​to be honest, I won't lose." His tone was flat and not too much Fluctuations, which made Yunfeng a little confused about him. Seeing Yunfeng's puzzled expression, Lu Yun smiled and changed the subject, "Okay, it's still early. Let's go for a walk, stay here for a long time, and people will become dull after staying here for a long time. Let's go." After speaking, he pulled Yunfeng and went out of the cave. Walking on the square, I watched countless disciples of Tianjian Academy shuttle back and forth, and everyone was busy with their own affairs.When those disciples saw Lu Yun, their eyes were a little strange, with a slight hint of displeasure. It seemed that because he was here yesterday and defeated Leng Jiahao, the third master of Tianjian Academy, everyone subconsciously had a feeling for him. do not like. Looking around, Lu Yun said with a smile: "If I really beat that Jian Wuchen, I'm afraid no one here will welcome me. This is the extreme side of everyone's heart, and it is particularly obvious here." Said After finishing, he glanced at the few people walking in the distance. Lin Yunfeng smiled and said: "What's the matter, next time they go to our Yiyuan, we will just give an eye for an eye, no one cares. As long as you can defeat him this time, even if these disciples are not happy, who would dare to say you Can’t you? I believe they are just unhappy and dare not say it in person.” Lu Yun smiled lightly and said, "Okay, there are people from other courtyards, let's go and meet them." After speaking, he wanted to walk across.When Yun Feng heard the words, he looked up, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and immediately followed. Looking at the person in front of him, Lu Yun said with a smile: "Brother Bi Tian, ​​Brother Ben and Brother Wu Wang, why did you come here for a walk? Didn't the others come?" , Ben Yi and three people from the Bodhi Academy walked towards Lu Yun and the two together. Bi Tian from Cowardly Garden looked at Lu Yun with strange eyes, as if he was hiding something.After glancing at Yunfeng, Bi Tian said, "I thought it was the morning competition, so I started preparing early in the morning, but who knew it was suddenly changed to the afternoon, so I went out for a walk with nothing to do, just in time to meet Ben Yi and Wu Wang. Afternoon The game is about to start, how are you preparing?" Hearing this, Lu Yun showed a wry smile on his face, and said softly: "There is no preparation, anyway, it is like this, and it will be too late to work hard for half a day. Forget it, since you are here, let's not talk about these things, let's talk about the three of you." Brother Dao, what's the matter, if you have time, Lu Yun would like to invite the three of you to chat here and get together more." Hearing this, Bi Tian glanced at the entrance of Tianhuo Cave, and asked softly, "Why didn't you see Brother Li and Junior Sister Zhang? Are they not there? I just wanted to bring Benyi and Wuwang to chat with you guys." What about it?" As soon as these words came out, Lin Yunfeng's eyes rolled slightly, and he looked at him with strange eyes, as if he wanted to see through him. And Lu Yun's eyes flickered slightly, he glanced at Ben Yi and Wu Wang and said: "They are in the cave, I just ask Yun Feng to call them out. Now, let's chat here for a while. Brother Ben, I heard that you have practiced all of the supreme Buddhist formula 'Wuxiang Prajna', then I am afraid that you will be the first place in this session. Brother Wuwang is the first person among the disciples of the Taoist Garden. You are very proficient in all kinds of Taoist formulas?" After speaking, he gave Yun Feng a wink. Ben Yi said modestly: "Junior Brother Lu is joking, Ben Yi's cultivation level is still low, and this year's first place is probably none other than Jian Wuchen from Tianjian Academy. I am satisfied. Junior brother Lu Yun has cultivated so profoundly that he has cultivated to such a level after only two years in Yiyuan, it is really embarrassing for me to wait." Wu Wang agreed: "Ben Yi is right. For the first place this year, the one with the greatest hope is Jian Wuchen. To be honest, if I meet him, there is no need to compete. I will quit directly. As for this If anyone can compete with him once, I am afraid that the only ones are Cang Yue from Phoenix Academy and your Yi Yuan. As for me, although I know a little about Taoism, I am not proficient in it. Compared with your Yi Yuan, I am far behind It's far away." After speaking, he smiled slightly. Lu Yun smiled and said: "You two senior brothers are both humble. I dare not stand here when you say it. Senior brother Li and senior sister Zhang are here. Do you want to find a place to sit? Or just sit here. Chat here?" After speaking, he asked the three of them with his eyes, and glanced at Aoxue inadvertently. Ben Yi and Wu Wang looked at each other, looked at Bi Tian, ​​and Ben said, "Let's look at Bi Tian and see what he says." Hearing this, Bi Tian hurriedly looked back at Aoxue, and said softly: "Everyone here I'm a disciple of Tianjian Academy, so let's go for a walk in the woods, what do you think?" Ben Yi and Wu Wang both nodded slightly, without any objection. Before Yun Feng took Zhang Aoxue and Li Hongfei away, after meeting each other for a few days, Bi Tian proposed to go for a walk in the woods.So the group of seven people turned around and walked towards the woods on the left, slowly disappearing into the dense jungle. Sunlight, through the sparse branches and leaves, like thousands of lightsabers, slanted into the forest, illuminating the surroundings.In an open space, a group of seven people were chatting there, and everyone seemed very enthusiastic.At this time, Zhi Ben asked: "Brother Li, do you understand the opponent this time?" This question caught the four people in Yi Yuan.Everyone glanced at each other and shook their heads slightly. They still don't know how to arrange the candidates for this competition. Seeing that Li Hongfei was silent, Lu Yun couldn't help but said: "For this competition, I only know that I will have a duel with Senior Brother Bi Tian in the afternoon. As for the others, I don't know." When he said this, Li Hongfei and Zhang Aoxue's expressions changed slightly, as if they had thought of something, they looked at him silently.After Bi Tian heard this, he sighed softly: "Yes, there will be a match between us in the afternoon. I really want to avoid it, but unfortunately I can't. To be honest, the relationship between our two gardens has always been good. I really don't want to compete with each other. Unfortunately, there is no Ways. For the game in the afternoon, Lu Yun, we will each rely on our own abilities. No matter what the structure is, we are still good friends in private, what do you think?" Lu Yun nodded with a smile, glanced at everyone, and said softly: "That's right, no matter what the result of this competition is, we will all be friends in the future. This time we are here together, it is also a fate, we should cherish it, right? Ah, how many senior brothers?" Everyone except Aoxue nodded in agreement with Lu Yun's statement. Li Hongfei asked: "Brother Ben, can you tell us about the situation of this competition? We haven't received the notification from the master master yet, so we don't know yet." Ben took a look at him and sighed slightly: "To be honest, this match is relatively unfavorable for Yi Yuan. This time, Lu Yun will play against Bi Tian, ​​and Junior Sister Zhang will play against Zhan Yu. But you met Jian Wuchen whom no one wants to meet. As for me, I competed against Yunhua from Daoyuan, Wuwang against Du Li from Cowardly Garden, and Cangyue against my junior brother Jiechan." As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of the four people in Yi Yuan changed drastically, obviously they did not expect such a result.Everyone looked at each other, and there was a trace of worry in everyone's eyes.Lin Yunfeng said with some displeasure: "It's really strange. This time we came here, why did we Yiyuan always meet Tianjianyuan? First, Lu Yun and I, and now we have become senior sisters and senior brothers. It's really evil." Lu Yun and the other three heard They all sighed slightly, obviously agreeing with the words. Looking at Li Hongfei, Lu Yun said softly: "Brother, come on, the three of us will work hard this afternoon, and there will be results. Don't worry, we all support you, and you will definitely win. Definitely!" with him. Li Hongfei regained his composure in the blink of an eye. Looking at Lu Yun, he patted Lu Yun's shoulder and said softly: "I won't give up. If I lose, you and Aoxue remember to work hard, and someone must enter The top six will win glory for our Yiyuan. The competition is always cruel, and no retreat is allowed. Unless you give up automatically, you must dare to fight. Even if you lose, you will know where your gap is, so that you can win in the future. There is a chance to catch up." After speaking, he glanced at everyone and lowered his head slightly to meditate. Zhang Zuoxue looked at Li Hongfei with a trace of regret in his eyes, as if he was sighing that he had met Jian Wuchen.Aoxue is very clear about his cultivation, as long as he doesn't meet Jian Wuchen, I believe he can definitely enter the top six.Because he is the most outstanding person in Yi Yuan, what a pity. Wu Wang looked at Li Hongfei, and said softly: "Those who change, change. People who cultivate the truth should not be too attached to worldly affairs. The reason why the Sixth Court Discussion Conference is held, on the surface, is to compete. This is also a test for every cultivator. To cross the Three Realms, apart from strong strength, the most important thing is heart, enlightenment, and the strength and perseverance to pursue the ultimate truth. If you lose today You won Jian Wuchen, but you have learned a lot from it, so for you, this is a gain. But if you win, but you don’t have any understanding, then what have you gained besides your fame?" When everyone heard the words, they all fell into deep thought.Lu Yun looked at Wu Wang, at this moment he suddenly felt that Ben Yi and Wu Wang both had unique and unique temperaments, and they all had something in common.That is the essence of Buddhism, a deep understanding of Buddhism.Maybe they are not as good as themselves in terms of cultivation, but in some respects, they are also not as good as them. Bi Tian didn't care what Wu Wang said, he just looked at Zhang Aoxue secretly, with burning eyes shining in his eyes.Lin Yunfeng on the side kept watching his expression, seeing him like this, how could he not understand what he was thinking.Lin Yunfeng smiled secretly in his heart: "As long as you are alone, there is no hope. I am afraid that except Lu Yun, other people will not be able to get involved. Hehe, such a Liliang senior sister, you think Lu Yun is a fool, how can you let you snatch her away. " Li Hongfei was slightly shocked when he heard Wuwang's words, and looked at him in shock.The eyes of the two met, and they didn't speak to each other, they just looked at each other quietly.Suddenly, Li Hongfei showed a rare smile, stepped forward to hold Wuwang's hand, and nodded to him with a smile to thank him. Everyone looked at the two of them strangely, as if they sensed something happened between them.Can be specific, there is not very clear. Looking at the sky, Zhang Aoxue's elegant voice came: "It's getting late, everyone should go back. Good afternoon, we have a game." After speaking, she turned around calmly, and her moving figure danced in the breeze.That wonderful figure, that charming back, deeply attracted Bi Tian's eyes. Lu Yun glanced at Bi Tian, ​​and there was a strange light in his eyes, as if hinting at something.Looking back, seeing Li Hongfei pulling Wuwang away, Lu Yun smiled indifferently, and gave Yun Feng a wink, and the two of them also dodged to follow. Ben Yi looked at Lu Yun's back with a trace of thought in his eyes.Looking up, looking at Bi Tian who was still in a daze, Ben Yi sighed slightly, patted him on the shoulder, and his body disappeared outside the woods like flowing clouds and flowing water.
