Chapter 997 Xuanmen Competition, the first competition begins
Three days later, the Xuanmen Competition officially kicked off.
Before that, there was a vague discussion about this Xuanmen Competition on the Internet.
The reason was that someone posted a security check photo.
A man dressed as a Taoist priest unpacked the luggage for security check at the request of the staff, and then took out most of the magic tools such as peach wood swords, soul-calling flags, and eight-diagram plates from the other party's luggage.
A staff member in charge of security check posted on WeChat Moments that many Taoist priests have indeed come to Beijing in the past two days, and these people have more or less carried metaphysical feng shui objects.
Someone also took a photo of a dozen Taoist priests wearing a uniform modified version of Taoist priest uniforms arriving at the airport.
Afterwards, some netizens recognized that the so-called Taoist priest uniforms were actually the uniforms of the Taoist Academy in Hai City.
[I'm sure I'm not mistaken. My daughter Goose and Cha Cha have all worn it in the previous "Inspiration".]
There are also screenshots from the variety show as evidence.
Instantly attracted more netizens to watch.
[I prove that these are students of Haishi Taoist College, and I have evidence.]
It is also a screenshot from the variety show, but it is a screenshot of one of the freshmen standing behind Jiang Xuxu during the morning class. It is also compared with one of the people who appeared at the airport. The result is the same person.
From this, it can be judged that these are students who are seriously studying Xuanshu at the Taoist College.
And it is very likely that they are Jiang Xuxu's classmates!
[They come in such large batches, it is estimated that it is some kind of exchange event of Xuanmen?]
[After such a long time, Xuanmen still treats us as outsiders. What kind of exchange meeting can't we sit in on? 】
【After such a long time, Director Chen is the only one who treats us as his own. I miss Director Chen! 】
【189th day of missing Director Chen~】
Netizens have discussed a lot about the activities inside the Xuanmen, and some powerful netizens and metaphysics enthusiasts have dug deeper.
They actually dug out some things.
A special live broadcast room that requires an invitation code to be allowed to enter.
There are very few people in the live broadcast room, at least not comparable to the original live broadcast room of "Inspiration".
But the live broadcast room clearly broadcasted the grand scene of the official start of the Xuanmen Competition on that day -
"Welcome everyone to the Xuanmen Competition held every three years. This competition is jointly organized by the China National Security Bureau and the Taoist Academy's Demon Management Bureau, and sponsored by the Lingshi Headquarters...
I am the host of this conference, Lou Yingying, and the person next to me is the person in charge of the Lingshi External Liaison Department, and also another special host of our conference, Youyou!"
Anyone who has watched the college competition last year can recognize that the person speaking on the stage is a student of the Taipei Taoist College who participated in the college competition before, Lou Yingying.
Because of the special venue of this competition, Lou Yingying was selected as one of the hosts of the conference as a middleman.
Compared to Lou Yingying's enthusiasm and generosity, the co-host next to her was more gloomy and steady. He only glanced at the people in the venue and said briefly,
"Hello, everyone."
Below the stage were the various Xuanshi and demon tribe members who had come to the scene specially for this time, including students from three Taoist academies.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the cold-tempered host Youyou on the stage.
Even the Taoist academy students or demon students who had not yet graduated could clearly sense that the host on the stage... He was not a human.
Working at the Spiritual Affairs Headquarters, this man named Youyou was obviously a ghost cultivator.
And he should be a ghost cultivator of more than 300 years.
The Xuanmen Competition is held every three years, but this is the first time that a ghost cultivator has been invited to host the conference.
It's just... very fresh.
Compared to the different thoughts in the audience, Lou Yingying on the stage was obviously much more excited.
First, she briefly introduced the participants and judges of this Xuanmen Competition, and then quickly got to the point,
"Next is the first match of the Xuanmen Competition. Due to the special nature of the competition venue, our contestants will not be present. We will watch this competition in real time directly through the special Lingzi screen first developed by Lingshi."
As Lou Yingying finished speaking, Youyou raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Ghost energy spread out, and a huge screen instantly stood up in the venue.
The screen communicated with the photo-retaining talismans on the contestants, and the situation of each contestant could be seen in real time through the split screen.
The first group to attract attention was naturally Jiang Xuxu's group.
Jiang Xuxu and his group of six were all wearing the uniform of the Haishi Taoist Academy, just like they did during the academy competition.
But the place where the six people were at this time surprised everyone, because looking at the background, they seemed to be in... a villa somewhere? ?
Then Lou Yingying said,
"The rules of the first competition have been sent directly to each contestant's mobile phone through the Lingshi APP."
At this time, the contestants on the screen were obviously also reading the rules introduction sent by Lingshi.
[The first competition venue of this Xuanmen Competition is the Ghost Market.
Before the start of this competition, the official has taken away something from each contestant in advance through the representatives of all parties and put it in the Ghost Market.
Next, all contestants are requested to enter the ghost market, find the object that belongs to you, and successfully redeem it. The end time of the competition is based on the closing time of the ghost market. Failure to redeem the object of the contestant within the specified time is considered a failure in the competition, and the loser will be eliminated on the spot.
Jiang Xuxu and his group were now in the villa that Jiang Huai arranged for them to stay in.
They also looked at the competition rules that had just been sent to everyone's mobile phone, and were somewhat surprised by the content of the first game of this Xuanmen competition.
"The competition venue is in the ghost market? How do I enter the ghost market? I have never been there!"
Lu Nanxing was the first to raise a soul question.
Xie Yunli explained in a low voice,
"How to find the ghost market and enter it should also be the content of the first competition."
After all, if you can't even find the competition venue, there is no need to continue to participate in the subsequent competitions.
As a member of the team, An Churan still didn't get along well with the others after the end of the college competition, but it was appropriate to speak up at this time.
"To enter the ghost market, you should first pass the Ghost Gate, but since the Ghost Festival has just passed, it may be a bit troublesome to open the Ghost Gate."
As soon as she said this, several people present looked a little unconvinced.
Lu Nanxing said, "It's just opening the Ghost Gate, it shouldn't be difficult."
Tu Xingzhu also said, "There is a Ghost Gate that can be opened at will in the Spiritual Affairs Headquarters." Xie
Yunli asked Jiang Xuxu, "Can employees of the Spiritual Affairs Headquarters directly apply to open the Ghost Gate?"
Jiang Xuxu shook his head, "Probably not through the authority of the Spiritual Affairs Headquarters."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately asked in unison, "Why?"
Jiang Xuxu showed everyone the received notification, and then scrolled to the bottom and found a line of small words at the bottom to supplement the explanation.
Bai Zhu had obviously noticed it just like her, and at this moment he whispered:
"Based on the principle of fairness in the competition, it is forbidden for internal employees of Lingshi to use internal channels to facilitate their positions. Those who violate the rules will be disqualified from this Xuanmen competition."
Everyone: ...
This supplementary explanation is obviously written for Xuxu, right?
Tu Xingzhu looked at Jiang Xuxu with some sympathy. It seemed that his part-time company was not very friendly to its employees when sponsoring the competition.
He sighed and said,
"At the critical moment, you still have to rely on me."
