Chapter 46: Comparing speed?
Tuanzi expressed his strong dissatisfaction with Lin Xiaoman's late coming home, and did not give Lin Xiaoman a good look for a whole quarter of an hour.
Until Lin Xiaoman seized the time and urgently fried a piece of snake meat and put it into its own bowl.
"Come on, Tuanzi, you must be hungry. Come, eat the meat quickly. I'll go cook something else."
After being caught by Lin Xiaoman, she immediately jumped down with a humming sound. The white ball, which had ignored her for at least a quarter of an hour, turned her head and cried out in a soft voice.
"Meow."
Lin Xiaoman smiled with her lips curved, reached out and rubbed the cat's head, then got up to cook the spiritual rice porridge. She came back late today, so she had to make it quickly and eat it because she had to go practice.
The fixed daily practice time cannot be shortened at will.
The porridge pot was placed on the fire and slowly boiled. Lin Xiaoman turned around to continue frying the meat. He had finished eating the piece of snake meat in the dumpling bowl and was now staring at the sizzling oil pan.
"Greedy cat, you're just that hungry."
Lin Xiaoman glanced at it, nodded the cat's head, and quickly took out a few pieces of meat and put them in the pan to fry on low heat until both sides were golden brown, then turned them over. After they were cooked, she put three pieces for Dumpling, and the remaining four pieces were hers. She sprinkled them with her favorite chili powder, cumin powder and other seasonings, and the aroma was fragrant.
He took out some pickled radishes from the jar. By this time, the rice porridge was ready. Lin Xiaoman served himself a bowl and put a bowl in front of Tuanzi.
"Tuanzi, do you want me to put the meat into the porridge and mix it well?"
Lin Xiaoman discussed it subconsciously and didn't think Tuanzi could understand it, but she didn't expect that after she finished speaking, Tuanzi actually stopped eating and looked up at her.
Those round, lavender eyes were particularly beautiful. Lin Xiaoman felt completely softened when she saw them. "Tuanzi, do you agree?"
Lin Xiaoman was very surprised. Could it hear what he said?
She tentatively picked up a piece of meat and put it into the porridge, crushed the meat and mixed it with the porridge, then put it in front of Tuanzi.
"Meow."
The delicate and gentle cry makes people feel soft-hearted.
"Okay, I like it. Then I'll put this meat in it too."
The remaining snake meat was crushed and mixed into the spiritual rice porridge. Tuanzi ate it with gusto, and Lin Xiaoman was very happy to see it.
I picked up my bowl and drank the porridge, which was especially delicious when paired with pickled radish. Then I took two bites of the pan-fried snake meat. Hmm, it felt so good.
For the next month, Lin Xiaoman focused on learning new talismans, and his life returned to his previous regular routine, except that now there was one more thing than before, which was to go home to pet the cat and prepare meals for the cat Tuanzi.
This month, the monks in Andu City were all in a hurry, as everyone was preparing for the competition in a month.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the competition. Lin Xiaoman followed Zhang Shanshan, Song Yi and others, led by Senior Song, to the martial arts training ground of the City Lord's Mansion.
The martial arts training ground of the City Lord's Mansion is not much smaller than the large square in Andu City. At this time, the martial arts training ground is also crowded. Most of them are five or six people standing together, with five people in a group. Some shops can only form one group to participate in the competition, while some can form two or three groups. In addition, there are independent cultivators and the team from the City Lord's Mansion in Andu City. The most special one is the team of outer disciples of Tianyan Sect. They all wear uniform green clothes and look a little arrogant.
After looking around, Lin Xiaoman discovered a very cruel fact: many teams had all members at the third level of Qi Refining Stage, especially the three teams from the City Lord's Mansion.
Obviously, not only she discovered it, but Senior Song and the others also discovered it. At this time, Senior Song and Song Yi both looked unhappy.
"Nothing is certain yet, so just try your best, no matter what the outcome."
Senior Song patted Song Yi on the shoulder, sighed inwardly, and said to them.
Try your best!
OK!
Lin Xiaoman nodded silently. Just looking at this situation, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't win. Their hardware couldn't compete.
She's used to it, used to it. Anyway, from childhood to adulthood, no matter whether her grades were good or bad, whether she was in the class or the team she was in after work, she was always mediocre and never stood out.
Soon, the judges from Tianyan Sect and the City Lord's Mansion came over and announced that the competition was about to begin, and then asked those who did not participate in the competition to leave the City Lord's Mansion.
"As a talisman cultivator, what is the most important thing?"
On the stage, the competition was hosted by the white-bearded elder that Lin Xiaoman was familiar with. He hadn't expected him to host their competition again. Could this elder also be a talisman cultivator?!
"Of course it's talisman drawing. Haha, today we're also competing in talisman drawing, but we're competing in the speed of drawing talismans. Not only do we have to successfully draw the talisman, but we also have to draw it faster."
Then he asked each team to draw lots. He waved his hand and a jade plate with a number marked on it floated in front of each team.
Lin Xiaoman glanced at the jade token that Song Yi was holding. The number 67 was written on it.
Well, there’s nothing special about the number plate. It’s okay. It has little to do with the race.
The first round of competition is both simple and difficult. It includes the intermediate speed talisman, intermediate fire bomb talisman, intermediate water arrow talisman, intermediate earth wall talisman, intermediate diamond talisman and fireball talisman. Each team has to draw these six talismans in the shortest time.
Seeing this, Song Yi felt slightly delighted. As for their team, everyone happened to be proficient in intermediate basic talismans, which just happened to include these six types of talismans.
Song Yi looked around at the people in the team and quickly arranged their respective tasks.
"Junior Brother Zhou will be in charge of the intermediate Earth Wall Talisman, Junior Sister Zhang will be in charge of the intermediate Water Arrow Talisman, Junior Brother He will be in charge of the intermediate Fire Bomb Talisman and the intermediate Diamond Talisman, and Junior Sister Lin will be in charge of the intermediate Speed Talisman, okay?"
Everyone nodded. Song Yi took a deep breath and looked at Lin Xiaoman. If it weren't for the rules requiring everyone to participate in drawing talismans, he wouldn't dare to let Lin Xiaoman do it. Although she was able to draw intermediate-level speed talismans at such a young age, she was still young after all and had only been exposed to talisman practice for a short time, so her success rate was definitely not high.
Lin Xiaoman nodded, "Okay."
Song Yi was responsible for drawing the most difficult fireball symbol, which only he could draw.
He arranged the order for everyone to draw the talismans. The first one was He Xiu to draw the intermediate fire bomb talisman, followed by Zhou Yadong, Zhang Shanshan, and Lin Xiaoman. Then He Xiu drew the intermediate Vajra talisman, and finally Song Yi drew the fireball talisman.
The competition started and everyone had no time to care about anything else. This time they were not sent to a quiet and empty room like last time. Instead, they were still in the martial arts training ground. Everyone had to find ways to draw talismans, using their own talisman pens, ink and paper. They also had to bring their own tables and chairs, otherwise they had to draw on the ground.
The reason for this requirement is that when fighting in the wild, they do not have so many conditions and can only find ways to draw talismans on the spot.
Fortunately, they were all talisman practitioners, and everyone had talisman pens, talisman ink, talisman paper and other items. However, not everyone had tables and chairs. But Lin Xiaoman had them, and she found that the disciples of the City Lord's Mansion and Tianyan Sect all had them, at least one for each person.
