Chapter 89: What kind of reward will the top winner of the Summer Festival get?
Draw the sword, break through the realm, and understand the truth of heaven and earth.
The shackles that had been planted unknowingly in the past were cut off by a sword, and the confusion dissipated like smoke and no longer existed.
At this moment, Lin Wanyi was undoubtedly at the peak of her state of mind.
But now this decision was not made out of any erroneous perception caused by this peak moment, but rather she was simply completing her unfinished business.
Yes, she thought that she and Bai Langxing should have had a battle at Baima Lake.
If you haven't understood the truth, then this battle would be like an egg hitting a rock, there is no need to fight.
However, she has now broken through to the realm of truth, and Bai Langxing is standing there, right in front of her eyes, waiting for others to challenge him, so how can she not say this?
If she remained silent at this moment, she would no longer be herself.
Then there would be no way she could break through this state.
This is the pride that Lin Wanyi should have.
The candidates present came to their senses from their initial surprise and astonishment, and gradually understood the reason behind it. There were many complex emotions in their eyes when they looked at Lin Wanyi.
I feel admiration, envy, gratitude, fear, blessings and hope.
In a nutshell.
No one does not welcome the arrival of this war.
The candidates spontaneously made way for Lin Wanyi to step onto the stage and stand opposite Bai Langxing.
Bai Langxing is a proud man.
If not for this, he wouldn't have caused such a scene that night by the White Horse Lake.
Therefore, he also understood Lin Wanyi's decision at this moment.
There was no nonsense, no reminiscing about the past, no leisurely recollection of the day, and no nonsense, whether appropriate or inappropriate.
He calmly held the cold iron gun, with the tip of the gun pointed at the ground, and waited indifferently.
Lin Wanyi looked normal and was thinking seriously.
Compared with the night by the White Horse Lake, Bailangxing at this time was undoubtedly stronger. Was it because the wind and snow of Cangshan Mountain made him dream of returning to the wilderness?
She didn't think for long, she opened her right hand slightly and took the sword.
"please."
"please."
The battle begins.
This is also the first battle between the geniuses of Dongzhen in this summer festival.
——The incident between Gu Zhuo and Li Ruoyun doesn’t count.
……
……
It was already late at night in the capital of Gods, and the people were all a little tired, but they still showed rare enthusiasm for this battle.
It's not just because both sides of the battle are Dong Zhen, but also because of the complex identities of these two people. No matter who wins or loses, countless topics can be derived.
On the flying boat at the highest point.
Pei Jinge felt somewhat emotional.
She had previously told the Empress that Lin Wanyi was seeking a breakthrough in order to stand shoulder to shoulder with Gu Zhuo.
Facts have proven her wrong.
She sighed and wondered, did she really no longer understand young people?
The next moment, she naturally rejected the idea.
Because Gu Zhuo is also a young man.
Just then, a sound came from below.
It was Lin Wanyi who was injured.
It is clearly shown on the screen.
Her left shoulder was pierced directly by the iron spear.
Immediately afterwards, a tear appeared on Bai Langxing's clothes at the waist, blood splattered out, injuring his tendons and bones.
No one expected it.
This battle was so direct, both sides exchanged injuries directly without any avoidance, and fought so clumsily.
……
……
The queen had already returned to the imperial study.
The necessary government affairs will not disappear with the arrival of the summer festival, but will only continue to pile up and get higher and higher with time.
In this quiet and silent environment, she handled these things as usual, never getting tired.
At some point, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Not relieved.
But contentment.
She thought to herself, you are still my daughter after all, you are not so stupid as to indulge in boring love.
……
……
This battle did not last too long, but it was more lasting and exciting than the battle between Gu Zhuo and Li Ruoyun.
Regrettably, the final outcome of this battle was just as most people had predicted, with no miracle occurring.
Bai Langxing won.
When the gun and sword met for the twenty-sixth time, he relied on his deeper accumulation and richer combat experience to successfully send the tip of the gun into Lin Wanyi's heart before the sword blade passed his throat, ending the battle.
Lin Wanyi was seriously injured.
Even according to the rules of this summer festival, the eldest princess' miraculous means made her figure disappear like smoke at the moment of defeat, and she was intact when she reappeared. The wound left by the iron spear on her body was still painful, not to mention her almost completely exhausted mind.
However, no one looked down on her for this.
On the contrary, the candidates only had admiration for her and no longer had any jealousy at all.
Even if they know that they will not be eliminated and will not die, not everyone can be so decisive in a battle.
Bai Langxing raised his head, feeling the chill that kept pouring into his body through the wound and bringing him the excruciating pain. However, his eyes did not dim, but became even brighter.
He looked at Lin Wanyi, who had already been defeated, and wanted to say something, but in the end he did not open his mouth.
Because his next opponent had arrived. The rules of this competition were that no one challenged him within half an hour, or he won three times in a row. The previous process had been interrupted by Lin Wanyi, and the candidates could not wait for him for another half an hour, so it was natural for someone to challenge him.
More importantly, the injuries on his body looked severe, whether it was the wound on his waist where the bones were visible, the arm holding the gun that was bleeding, or the wound on his face, all of which made the candidates feel that there was a possibility that he could be defeated.
The goddess Jingtian never died.
She stood beside Lin Wanyi, silently watching over her friend and thinking about a question that puzzled her deeply.
Why... Li Ruoyun was eliminated directly?
If we consider the severity of the injury, then Lin Wanyi was also seriously injured, so why wasn't he eliminated directly?
You have to know that Li Ruoyun still had a chance to start over.
Why is that?
Why was Gu Zhuo able to eliminate him directly?
……
……
"Zhuo, you've already lost just because you know that little girl."
"It was a terrible loss. Someone shot me in the heart."
"But this fight was pretty good. It's finally not so boring."
"Oh, by the way, that thing you asked us about before... I really can't give you an answer to that."
"Why can't you give it?"
"Just think about it, ever since she stopped coming here, it's been snowing every day, and the sky is covered with dark clouds. We can't even say hello to the sun, so who has the time to remember the time?"
"She at that time? There was nothing special about her. It seemed that... her mood was much better than usual?"
“Is there anyone here who makes us feel special?”
"Do you even need to ask that?"
"Of course it's you!"
On another arena, Gu Zhuo, who had no one to fight with, had already started chatting with the world.
He always felt that he was not very good at chatting with people of the same age. A key reason for this was that he was used to listening on weekdays. He did not need to find any topics to talk about and he could always have an endless topic to talk about.
For example, at this moment, everything in this world spontaneously changed its topic.
"Come to think of it, when we helped you eliminate that Li something, that should be considered cheating for you, right?"
"Tsk, are you scared?"
“…Don’t tell me, I’m a little scared.”
"It's okay. She didn't tell us not to do anything when she left. If there is any problem, it's because she didn't explain it clearly."
"Yes."
Gu Zhuo listened to these words, responded from time to time, and silently thought about the known facts.
The last time Bai Nanming came to Cangshan was unclear, but it was not too long ago. She was in a good mood at that time and made preparations for this year's summer festival on that day.
The whole process is very clear.
At this moment, he suddenly realized a question he had missed, and asked silently and seriously: "What is the reward for the first person to reach the top?"
The reason why Daqin was able to extend the summer festival to the entire world was related to its strong national strength, but more importantly, it was the rewards that attracted young people all over the world.
Rare treasures, secret manuals of magical skills, ancient heritage, power and status... and even the opportunity to meet with a contemporary saint in person and receive his personal guidance.
These are the things that young talents flock to.
The difficulty of this year's summer festival has never been higher than in the past, and the Qin court has not hesitated to make internal decisions. It does not take much thought to guess that the reward for the first place in this summer festival will be beyond imagination.
Gu Zhuo had never asked these questions before.
Because I don't care, I don't care.
He competed for the first place in the summer festival just to have a legitimate chance to enter Baidi Mountain, the mountain where the imperial tomb is located, and to capture the true meaning of the frosty sky of all things lingering there. That was all.
This matter concerns his life and death.
Apart from life and death, everything is just a trivial matter. Why bother?
Everything was inexplicably silent.
It was unknown how long it had passed before Gu Zhuo's heart heard the sound again.
"We do know about this."
“But I can’t tell you that, right?”
"Idiot, it's not like, it's really impossible to say."
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you that."
"The most we can tell you is that it is a really good thing, and you must strive to be the first to reach the top."
The sounds coming from all things are chattering, hiding a lot of embarrassment, but the attitude is always firm.
Gu Zhuo did not ask any further questions.
Half an hour has passed.
Above the stone platform, hundreds of sparks suddenly became bright, making the place as bright as day.
The wind and snow on Cangshan Mountain suddenly stopped.
A powerful force that far exceeded Gu Zhuo's current state descended upon him, like an invisible ray of light from the sky that led him up to the clouds.
Not until Gu Zhuo's figure completely disappeared did everyone in the room turn their gazes away.
Then they were surprised to find that Yu Sheng was already standing there.
The loose braid swayed in the wind.
She stood with her hands behind her back, as calm as a deep pool or a mountain.
He has the bearing of a master.
……
……
The world above the clouds was not bright, the starlight was still dim and pitch black.
Gu Zhuo took a step forward and came into this dim world.
He thought about the words he had heard before and the untold meaning in the words. An answer vaguely emerged in his mind, so he looked up at the sky.
What caught my eye was the top of Cangshan Mountain.
The solitary peak points straight to the sky, accompanied by the stars.
It stands there quietly as if it has been thousands of years.
