Volume 1 Xingyun Asking Heart Chapter 54 The Opening of the Competition
Gu Ying got up early today. He gently pushed open the window. The sun was not rising yet, and it was pitch black outside.
However, even at this time, there was a hustle and bustle outside the inn, and the streets were very lively. After all, today is the opening day of the Qicheng Dragon and Tiger Championship. This competition led by Bai Qing, the strongest man in Qicheng, naturally aroused the strong interest of the people in Qicheng, and even there were spectators and contestants from other places pouring in towards Qicheng.
"There are so many people!" Gu Ying leaned in front of the window and looked at the crowds coming and going below. Logically speaking, this competition should have no appeal to Gu Ying. After all, one of his original purpose was to increase his fame and find Mr. Su, and the other was to accept Bai Yusheng's challenge to fulfill his promise to Mu Yuchen. Now both of these matters have been resolved, and this competition has actually lost its meaning to Gu Ying.
Gu Ying lay on the window and looked for a while, took a deep breath, turned around and picked up his Taoist sword from the table.
"Swish" Gu Ying pulled out the Taoist sword from the scabbard and looked deeply at the Taoist sword with faint inscriptions flowing from the fragments of the hidden abyss. He still wants to participate in this game. The words Mr. Su said before completely changed his future life direction.
He wants to recognize the sword in his hand and accept the sword in his heart. To achieve this, he can only recognize himself through constant battles, show his strength, create his reputation, and return to his former peak.
"Xiaobai, just wait for me in the inn. Don't you run around?" After checking the Taoist sword in your hand, Gu Ying said to Xiaobai, who was half asleep and half awake on the bed.
After all, this is a personal competition and the spirit pet cannot be brought in. And Gu Ying is not relieved to put Xiaobai in the scene of a messy competition. After all, if he goes out alone with his current appearance, the chance of being raped is very high.
Xiaobai just slowly shook his big furry tail when he heard this. He didn't know if it had heard it. Gu Ying shrugged helplessly, washed up carefully and went out. He also wanted to appreciate the charm of the genius in the Southern Region.
"Squeak?" Shortly after Gu Ying left, Xiaobai, who was still sleeping, suddenly stood up, and his big eyes looked around blankly. Suddenly, he remembered that today was the day of Gu Ying's competition, but at this time there was no sign of Gu Ying in the room. It flew up and hurriedly ran to chase Gu Ying who had already left.
When Gu Ying walked onto the street, it was already completely bright and there were more people on the road. Compared to those who watched the game, those who were even happier were the food stalls such as Qicheng. In the past two days, the traffic at their stalls has been several times higher than before. Some stalls even had their whole family to work together, for fear that they would not be able to get busy.
Gu Ying just walked towards the competition venue with people, but when he passed by Lingmuzhai, Gu Ying was surprised to find that compared to the endless crowds everywhere, the Lingmuzhai was closed, which was terrible and quiet.
Not to mention that it is too early today, you should know that this medicinal material business usually opens the door to welcome goods early in the morning, for fear of neglecting the newly arrived medicinal material. Even if the door is not opened, someone should have started to clean it. But now this Lingmuzhai feels like a person is empty.
Gu Ying stopped for a while and shook her head, thinking that what did this person have to do with him if he didn't open the door, so she stepped towards the competition venue again.
The venue for this competition was chosen on the large square in the center of Qicheng. The square was estimated to be thousands of square meters and divided into three floors, each floor was about half the height of an adult. There were six huge stone pillars on both sides of the square. It is said that this place was originally used for sacrifice to the sky, but later as time went by, the change of rights gradually became a place for the people of Qicheng to cool off at night.
This time the competition was held on the highest platform in the square. Because the venue was surplus enough, it was divided into four rings, which could accommodate eight people to compete at the same time.
When Guying arrived at the square, there were already three floors inside and three floors inside and three floors inside and three floors inside, and a high stand was already set up in the front of the venue, which should have been prepared for the big men in Qicheng. Guying looked around and didn't know where to go for a moment, nor did he know where the contestants' venue was, which made him scratch his head awkwardly.
In fact, the division of the competition personnel had already posted a notice a few days before the competition began. However, Gu Ying had been thinking about what Mr. Su said at the inn at that time, and had never left the house, so naturally he didn't know it.
"Why are you standing here?" Just as Gu Ying was at a loss, a crisp and pleasant voice sounded behind Gu Ying, stunned Gu Ying.
This sound was very familiar to Gu Ying. When she turned around, she found that it was Mu Yashu.
Mu Yashu's dress today is no different from when he went to Kongnan Mountains before. He was wearing a huge bone bow on his back and holding a spear in his right hand, which looked very chic.
"Uh... I don't know where the contestants' venue is." Gu Ying shrugged awkwardly. She hadn't seen her for half a month since she quarreled with Mu Yashu last time. Now when she met again, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she thought about what had happened before.
Mu Yashu gave Gu Ying a blank look when she heard this. With her beautiful face, she seemed charming for a moment. She said, "You must have not gone to see the bulletin board in the city, right? Let's go, I'll take you there."
After saying that, Mu Yashu turned his head and walked in one direction. Gu Ying scratched his head and looked at him without saying much, so he had to follow him in disappointment.
"What happened before... I'm sorry, I'm expressing something wrong." Gu Ying decided to apologize for the incident that day after thinking for a long time, because he thought about it for a long time after going back that day, thinking that the other party was a girl after all, and it would take great courage to say that kind of words outside, but it was indeed a bit too much to say that people don't value reputation.
Mu Yashu suddenly stopped when he heard this, took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice with a somewhat ugly expression: "Do you think it's a question of expression?"
"Uh...isn't it...?" Gu Ying was stunned again. He thought that as long as he apologized sincerely, there should be no problem, but now he looks even more angry.
"The sign-in place for contestants is right in front, you can go there yourself." Mu Yashu pointed to a small table in front of him that was buried by the crowd, then turned around and got into the crowd, too lazy to deal with Gu Ying anymore.
"Ai? What's the situation... a woman... is difficult to understand." Gu Ying blinked and murmured to himself, but he finally found the contestant's venue so that he would not run around like a headless fly.
When he approached the sign-in, he saw a thin man in charge of signing in with thick glasses and a goatee. He seemed a little busy at this time, and his face was almost stuck to the rice paper on the table. He pointed the contestants' names one by one to check.
But it was Gu Ying's turn after a while. He heard the goatee asking in a deep voice: "Name?"
"Lonely Shadow."
"Yeah...you go in."
"Ah...this is over?" Gu Ying asked in surprise, thinking that signing in would be too hasty, and aren't you afraid that others will impersonate others?
"Otherwise, I feel like going in, next one!" Goatwe waved his hand impatiently, and then shouted at the top of his throat.
Gu Ying then walked into the players' rest area a little unnaturally, but it is not difficult to understand. After all, this is related to personal reputation. Even if you impersonate someone, you still have someone else's name. At that time, you have worked hard to make wedding dresses for others. And if you are exposed and you will be despised and become a joke, it will not be cost-effective no matter how you think about it.
After entering the field, Gu Ying instantly found that the atmosphere in the entire area had changed. Unlike the lively outside the field, it was filled with a solemn fighting spirit.
Moreover, in Gu Ying's perception, many people here are stronger than ordinary spiritual realms. They thought in their hearts that what Mu Yashu said is true, and the value of this competition is indeed not low.
"Huh...Brother, you are here too." Suddenly, a delicate voice appeared softly beside Gu Ying, and a little hand pulled the corner of his clothes.
Gu Ying turned his head and saw a little girl looking at her with her big round eyes. The little girl Gu Ying seemed to have some impression in her mind, but she suddenly couldn't remember it.
"You are..." Gu Ying paused, and he frowned and thought hard. He was sure that he must have seen the other party, but he couldn't remember it at this moment.
"That day... in Wujie... Thank you brother for supporting Feng'er." The little girl seemed a little shy and glanced at the place with big eyes and said crisply.
Gu Ying slapped his head and suddenly realized. No wonder this little girl looked so familiar. It turned out that she met in Wujie at that time. Gu Ying smiled and picked up the little girl, and said gently: "It turned out to be you, but why did you, the little girl, come here? This is not an audience."
"I...I came with my husband." The little girl who was picked up by Gu Ying became even more shy and turned her head to the side and did not look at Gu Ying.
Gu Ying was stunned when she heard this. When she raised her head, she found a middle-aged man in white robe shaking a folding fan and looking at him with a smile.
"Guying has seen Mr. Su, but she didn't expect to meet Mr. Su here." Guying clasped the little girl and said with fists at the man in front of her.
"No gifts are not allowed, I just come here to take a look, don't be too reserved." Mr. Su raised his hand and helped the lonely shadow up and said lightly.
Gu Ying replied with thanks and exchanged a few simple greetings with Mr. Su.
Suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air came from the square, and several figures appeared in everyone's sight. The person standing in the middle was Bai Qing, who Gu Ying had seen in the restaurant before. He saw that he had changed into a loose brown-red robe today, with his hair upright, and his strong muscles appeared in the loose robe. When he stood there, he seemed to be an insurmountable mountain.
"Dangdang!" When these big guys took their seats, a sound of gongs rang out between the scene. A thin old man with an updater came to the center of the scene and cleared his throat and shouted.
"Dear wise men, audience members and our players on the field, don't be impatient, our Dragon and Tiger Championship will begin soon!"
