Mortal Bones

Xu Taiping was caught off guard, but he still recalled it carefully, then nodded, and then gestured with his hands and said: "It should be this much longer."

"You remember correctly, he has indeed grown so much."

Lin Buyu nodded when he heard this, and then continued to lower his head and read his script.

The way the two communicated made Xu Ziyan and Zhao Linglong laugh.

"Senior Brother Qingxiao and Senior Sister Linglong, what is the competition about today?"

Although he didn't know what the two were laughing about, Xu Taiping decided to bring the topic back to the Seven Peaks Competition.

"Today's game is called Seven Dragons Seizing Pearls. A spiritual bird will drop clam beads from the sky above Wulao Pool, and the disciples of the Sword Sect will fight for them with their swords. Five clam beads will fall each time. After fighting for the clam beads, If you get rid of the obstruction of other peak disciples and place the clam bead in the hand of the Five Elders statue, you will get a bead."

Xu Ziyan explained the rules of this competition to Xu Taiping.

"So this time the competition is about the flying speed of the sword, as well as the fine control of the flying sword."

Zhao Linglong added.

Xu Taiping nodded slightly when he heard this.

"Senior Sister Zi Yan, aren't you going to this one?"

He looked at Xu Ziyan with some curiosity.

"In this competition, only three people can play in each peak. Our three senior brothers from the Sixth Peak have been practicing for this for three years, so there is no need for me to play."

Xu Ziyan smiled.

"We at Qifeng all rely on Senior Sister and Senior Brother Qingxiao. Although Third Senior Brother can also control objects and fly, his magic weapon is a steelyard. His flight is quite stable, but the speed is still too slow."

Zhao Linglong let out a long sigh.

Due to the good leadership of the peak leader Zhao Qian, most of the disciples in the Seventh Peak do not practice swordsmanship very much. The senior sister Jiang Zhi and the second senior brother Dugu Qingxiao are the two only seedlings in the Seventh Peak.

"There is no other way. Sword cultivators have extremely high requirements for monks' qualifications, and we in the Six Peaks can barely make up three of them."

Xu Ziyan comforted her.

Although she said her words very tactfully, Xu Taiping still heard the deep meaning in her words.

Because the Seventh Peak ranks last among all the peaks every year, most of the disciples they can choose from have ordinary qualifications, and most of these disciples with only ordinary qualifications cannot become sword cultivators.

"Bless me, Fifth Patriarch. I don't expect to win this time, I just want to win a bead so that those who want to see a joke can shut up."

Zhao Linglong clasped her hands together and prayed humbly.

Xu Ziyan on the side immediately hugged her shoulders and smiled:

"Don't be so pessimistic. Your senior sister and Qingxiao are among the best in cultivation among your peers. It will be no problem to win one or two clam beads."

Xu Taiping on the side watched this scene silently.

He secretly made up his mind that he would practice his sword well in the future, so that he could help his senior brother and sister during the next Seven Peaks Competition.

"You really have to seize the time to practice. For a monk, six years is not a long time."

Xu Taiping said secretly in his heart.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a burst of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, followed by dark clouds rolling in from the sky, and a black dragon flew down from the clouds with a roar, and landed directly on the sword in the center of Wulaotan. On the ground.

The person who came was none other than Elder Black Dragon.

"Today is the first event of the Seven Peaks Competition, the Seven Dragons Playing with Pearls. Disciples from all peaks are invited to attend."

The extremely tall black dragon elder, who had the body of a dragon, roared in a very majestic tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of "thuds, thuds, thuds" began to sound in the sky above Wulaotan.

In just the blink of an eye, fierce sounds came from all directions with swords and objects piercing the air.

"Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother!"

At this time, Zhao Linglong found senior sister Jiang Zhi and second senior brother Dugu Qingxiao among the crowd below, and waved to them vigorously.

Xu Ziyan on the side also saw the three senior brothers from Liufeng.

"Junior sister Wuyu!"

Among the three senior brothers in Liufeng, a round-faced young man seemed to have noticed Xu Ziyan and Lin Buyu, and waved to them happily.

"Speechless, Junior Brother Seven is calling you."

Xu Ziyan stuck her head out and smiled at Lin Buyu next to Xu Taiping.

Lin Buyu raised his head and looked down after hearing this, then nodded and said:

"Um."

Then he continued to flip through the storybook in his hand.

It seemed that in her eyes, this competition was far less interesting than the words in her hand.

Although I had heard about Lin Buyu's weird personality for a long time, when I saw her today, I couldn't help but make Xu Taiping look at her with some admiration. "This girl seems to really not care about other people's eyes."

Lin Buyu seemed to notice Xu Taiping's gaze, and immediately raised his head to look at him and said:

"Are you looking at me?"

Xu Taiping was stunned by Lin Buyu's direct question.

After a while, he said apologetically:

"excuse me."

Although he had no other thoughts, it was still rude to stare at others like this.

"It's okay, you can continue watching."

Lin Buyu shook his head, and then looked down at the storybook in his hand.

Xu Taiping was a little confused by these words and thought to himself, what do you mean you can continue watching?

However, he would naturally not do this kind of rude behavior again. He immediately sat up straight and turned his gaze back to Jianping below.

At this time, on the Jianping Ping, Elder Black Dragon had already used his thunderous voice to read out the rules of this competition to the disciples on the field and in the Yun Tower.

Xu Taiping listened carefully and found that the content was similar to what Zi Yan said.

"Everyone, please stand next to the flags of each peak. The competition will begin immediately."

After reading out the rules, Black Dragon closed the book in his hand, then raised his eyes and glanced at the Qifeng disciples on the field.

Immediately, the Seven Peaks disciples retreated to their respective command flags at the edge of Jianping.

This was the first time Xu Taiping saw the flags of each peak.

He found that each side here has its own characteristics. For example, the first peak is a door, the fifth peak is a group of auspicious clouds, and the sixth peak is an orchid.

And their seventh peak, Haoran Peak, is a cat lying lazily on the ground.

"Senior sister, why is there a cat embroidered on our flag at Haoran Peak?"

Xu Taiping asked Zhao Linglong with some confusion.

At this time, Zhao Linglong was nervously watching what was going on below, so she did not look back and just replied casually: "It is said that this is the spiritual pet of the first generation master of the Seventh Peak, but it was known as it hundreds of years ago. His whereabouts are unknown.”

Xu Taiping nodded with a look of astonishment on his face.

While the two were talking, a crane chirped in the sky above Jianping, and then a huge crane stretched its wings and glided over Jianping.

On a pair of claws of this crane, you can clearly see several huge silver-white clam beads.

"Be careful, peaks, the clam pearl is about to fall to the ground."

Elder Black Dragon crossed his arms across his chest and reminded everyone loudly.
