The Glass Maiden

Chapter 24 The Hairpin Conference (5) ()

On the second day, the hairpin conference, which has attracted much attention, finally officially started.

According to legend, the original Zanhua Conference was originally the Shaoyang School Qifeng’s own competition. Thousands of years ago, the Shaoyang School did not have the same seven peaks as a family like today, but divided their respective territories, like scattered sand.

Shaoyang was passed down to the generation of Benyang in charge five hundred years ago, and finally the seven peaks joined forces and joined forces to resist the foreign enemy-Nanshan Xuanyuan School. At that time, the power of Xuanyuan Sect was in full swing, with Nanshan as the center, expanding in all directions, engulfing dozens of cultivating sects, large and small.

And their irresistible momentum finally suffered a big loss in front of Shaoyang Gate.

Perhaps no one would have thought that Shaoyang, who was in danger and fighting incessantly, could unite as one at a critical moment, and it was invincible.

Xuanyuan faction naturally failed to get what he wanted, and Shaoyang also suffered a heavy loss, both sides were greatly injured. Since then, the disparity between Xuanyuan and Shaoyang has ended, and it has not been released until today.

Both sides fell into the cold war phase.

In order to restore the prestige of Shaoyang in the past, the head of Benyang simply declared that the world will no longer retreat from the Seven Peaks of Shaoyang, and invite the world's cultivators to challenge together. The winner can ask Shaoyang to do what he can.

He also invited several respectable elders from Dot Eye Valley to judge the outcome of the match.

Gradually, the reputation of the Seven Peaks Tournament spread, and everyone who heard it came to challenge them with great interest. In the five-year martial arts competition, Shaoyang always wins more and loses less, and the Qifeng test has also become an opportunity for many major factions in the world to compete and exchange.

Since then, Shaoyang has regained his prestige, united from above and below, and the seven peaks are united, without any dispute. The original competition, renamed the Hairpin Conference, evolved into today's competition among young elite disciples of the five major factions. The winner can get a peony flower on his chest.

The Xuanyuan faction has never recovered since that attack on Shaoyang, and has never expanded its territory.

So far, the Hairpin Conference has been held hundreds of times, with winners from all factions, especially Fuyu Island and Lize Palace, which have developed rapidly in the past two years.

The winner of the last conference came from Fuyu Island, so this time, the disciples of Fuyu Island can skip the first round of competition and go directly to the second try.

At this time, the martial arts field at the top of Shaoyang Peak has been cleaned up, and the seven huge arenas are covered with silks and satins of various colors, floating in the wind, which is very spectacular.

The heads of the five major factions were sitting on the chairs of the grand division outside the court, and talked in whispers from time to time. The others are okay, only the head of the Xuanyuan faction didn't say a word, and didn't look at the sky with his nostrils. Chu Lei knew their usual virtues, so he didn't take care of them, only talking with the heads of the other three factions with a smile.

The blank space under the ring was filled with young disciples attending the conference. The other factions are quite ordinary, only Lize Palace, with a clear green robe mask, attracting many unseen young disciples to wait and see.

The open space in the outer circle was where the disciples and outsiders were watching. Since the disciples of the Min generation of Shaoyang School are not yet at the age of competition, they can only serve as spectators, and together with the disciples of other schools, they craned their necks and looked inside. From time to time, there was laughter.

"Hey, look at that girl in a pink dress! Isn't it from Dotting Valley? Rarely, there will be beauties in Dotting Valley!"

"Bah, the dog can't spit out ivory! You know which woman to look at is pretty!"

"Aren't you watching? Oh...you don't look at beauties, you look at beautiful men..."

"Go to hell! Be careful to let the boss hear and cut your tongue!"

Xuanji heard that many people behind her were discussing which woman was more beautiful and which man was more handsome, so she couldn't help but raised her head and asked Du Minxing: "Big brother, who do you think is more beautiful?"

Du Minxing smiled wryly, "Don't learn from those boring people. We cultivators are ranked second in appearance. You might as well ask me who I think is the best."

"Who do you think is the best?" Zhong Minyan's ears were pointed, and when he heard them talking, he immediately joined in the fun.

"Um..." Du Minxing indulged for a while, couldn't help but look at the two figures in the infield, one red and one white, and then said: "Pian Pian and Yu Ning from Fuyu Island last time, the two swords are combined. It's really amazing. It's just that at that time, I was still young and lacked strength, so I lost to the brother of the same discipline. I think the two of them have great hope of winning this time.

"Where and where? What Pianpian Yuning? I want to watch it too!" Linglong squeezed in with a lot of snacks in her hands, just hearing what Du Minxing said, she immediately became interested.

Zhong Minyan grabbed a pack of spiced beef from her hand, smiled while avoiding the exquisite fist embroidered legs, and said: "Hey, these are the two most conspicuous disciples in Fuyu Island, one red and one white, male The handsome girl is pretty. Their two swords are really powerful and beautiful. It’s just that those who don’t have Fuyu Island on the first try today will not be able to see them until tomorrow!"

Linglongba was on the railing, squinting for a long time, and finally pouted: "There is nothing beautiful. If you say it is beautiful, no one can compare to the lady on Fuyu Island."

Xuan Ji asked strangely: "What madam?"

Zhong Minyan handed her a bag of broad beans, and said: "I asked you to go to Fuyu Island together that year. You were lazy and refused to go. Of course you don't know. Madam is Dongfang, the wife of Dongfang Island owner. But what is her name, No one knows where it came from. But her beauty is so beautiful that Linglong and I have been back then, and I still remember it. The owner of the East Island has such a beautiful wife as a wife, so blessed."

Hearing what he said so well, Xuanji couldn't help but start to yearn for it. She also studied Linglong Ba on the railing, craned her neck to look, and asked: "Then the lady of the island owner of the conference is here? Where is it?"

Zhong Minyan pointed to the place where the headmaster was sitting, "It's right next to the owner of the Eastern Island. Ah, she has a veil on her head this time... That's right, if she doesn't cover her face, she will cause Panic."

Xuanji looked over, and she saw a slim woman wearing white gauze sitting beside Dongfang Qingqi.

She wore a light purple shirt, a long skirt and long black silk hair hanging down her shoulders. I didn't see her "showing" her face or doing any action, but just looking at it like this, she felt that she couldn't look away, and her heart was warm and itchy, so I didn't want to look at her more.

Linglong whispered in her ear: "Looking dumb? Alas, you will be dumbfounded only wearing the gauze. It's not worthwhile that Xiao Liuzi and I were dumbfounded last time. We almost smashed other people's dishes during dinner. "

Xuanji would only expect a gust of wind to blow her veil away and see what it looked like.

While looking in a daze, he suddenly saw someone walking by the infield, white robe and boots, wide shoulders and slender waist, a young man. He walked to the place where the head was in charge, said something, then turned around and was about to leave, but the lady of the East suddenly waved to him, as if to ask him to pass.

The person seemed to hesitate for a moment, but she couldn't bear to beckon her all the time, and finally stood by her in the past, motionless.

"Who is that person?" Xuanji looked tired, turned her head and stuffed a handful of spiced beans to quack and bite in her mouth, and bit her ear to talk to Linglong.

"It's a big steward of Fuyu Island. I saw him on the island last time. He looks pretty good! He has a scar on his face, which is a bit scary. He is not a disciple of Fuyu Island and can't martial arts. I heard that Fuyu Island is very capable of taking care of daily life!"

Speaking of Xinglong, Linglong simply poured out all the gossip about the "celebrities" she had heard from everywhere.

"Have you seen that? The man in black clothes with white borders is a disciple of Dianjinggu, who couldn't beat Pianpian and Yuning at the last hairpin conference, so he was crying on the spot!"

"Ah, there's that! Xuanyuan faction's bastard, but he couldn't beat us last time, so he put a hidden weapon. When he was caught on the spot by his father, he was still stiff! I didn't expect to be able to compete this year. As expected, none of the Xuanyuan faction was good. thing!"

Linglong gritted her teeth fiercely.

As soon as the voice fell, I heard the thunderous drums around the martial arts field, like tens of thousands of waves rushing toward my face, wave after wave, almost shaking people's hearts out of their chests.

The sentiment was immediately agitated, because everyone knew that the hairpin conference officially began.
