"Yuxiu, has the game started?"
"Mom, it's snowing, let's walk slower."
"Grandma, let's just join in the fun. It doesn't matter if it's late."
The streets that had just snowed were already muddy after countless people passed by. A group of four people stepped on it, and their shoes quickly became dirty.
Yet they were in a pretty good mood.
This afternoon, there will be a Feihong ball match in Shuyang County. For ordinary people, Feihongqiu is a performance performed by the gods. Only immortals and dignitaries can watch it. If you can watch it in person, you can brag about it for several years.
The direction that these four people are heading now is the scene of the Feihong Ball game.
Walking at the front were Grandma Chen and Aunt Fu, followed by Yang Zhen and Chen Fugui.
Yang Zhen has given the counterfeit dagger to Chen Fugui and admitted that his one is a counterfeit. The magical properties of the previous one and its whereabouts were also revealed to him.
Only then did Chen Fugui realize why the Zhu family refused to let him redeem it. This was indeed not a treasure he could own. He didn't care about the imitation, and even liked it more. What he needs is his aunt's forgiveness. If it is really a valuable thing, it will be harmful rather than helpful. After handing the dagger to Grandma Chen, she got her forgiveness and the family finally eliminated the estrangement.
He was naturally grateful to Yang Zhen. More importantly, Yang Zhen also helped him escape from prison. After the Zhu family case happened, if Yang Zhen hadn't spoken for him, as the Zhu family's son-in-law, he would have been unable to escape the same fate.
"Brother, this life will belong to me from now on. If you are given any orders in the future, no matter what happens, I will never shirk you!" He assured Yang Zhen, patting his chest.
Yang Zhen smiled, he really needed a monk to help him take care of his business, but Chen Fugui had to wait and see.
…
Half a quarter of an hour later, they arrived in front of a huge circular building, which was the Zhuyang County Arena. Various exciting shows are often staged here, including bloody and thrilling ones, such as the battle between humans and animals; there are also those where you can place bets, such as the ring challenge; and there is the Feihong Ball Competition like today.
At this time, there were only a few people outside, and there were faint cheers from the mountains and tsunamis inside. They were indeed late.
They quickly found their seats. The ticket price for this game ranges from fifty spirit drops to ten spirit stones. The ticket prices for Yang Zhen and the four of them are two spirit stones, which is in the middle position, which is not bad.
The entire stadium can seat about seven to eight thousand people. At this time, the seats are already packed, and most of them are monks.
Yang Zhen looked up at the arena below and smacked her lips. This playing field is two miles long and one mile wide, which is more than ten times larger than the football field in the previous life.
It had to be this big because the people involved were all monks.
Shuyang County holds a Feihong Ball Competition every year, with the county pavilion as the unit, and several powerful families, such as the Zhao family, form their own teams.
Among them, monks with good grades and outstanding performance can also participate in higher-level competitions, and those who stand out will even be directly selected by the sect.
Then, you will be trained carefully and provided with foundation-building pills to ensure your success in foundation-building. Then you will continue training, and finally represent your sect in the Eastern Region to participate in the ten-year competition.
For those casual cultivators and low-level cultivators, this is nothing less than a road to heaven. Therefore, in the immortal world of Xu State, there are countless people who like the flying rainbow ball.
When it comes to the history of Feihong Ball in the Zhenyu world, it can be traced back to thousands of years ago. It is the most popular and popular game in the world of immortality.
The ball is made of a kind of spiritual wood called Feihongmu. It is very strong and can withstand spell attacks for a long time. The rules of the game are a combination of football and rugby from Yang Zhen's previous life. Both sides have ten players and one gatekeeper, and both use scoring by scoring the opponent's goal.
As for how to score a goal, it doesn't matter whether you use your hands, feet, control it with your mind, or rush over arbitrarily.
Of course, there will also be some corresponding rules, such as only attacking the ball holder, not using talismans, not taking pills in the stadium, etc.
The gatekeeper will have a standard shield. When activated, the defense range is five feet square, which can block the intrusion of flying rainbow balls and monks.
Also, every player is wearing a uniform robe, which is so shiny that it can be seen clearly from a distance. Once the robe is broken, even if you are fine, you will be eliminated and cannot be replaced.
In short, the rules are perfect and the competition is exciting.
In addition, due to differences in monks’ cultivation levels, each game will have a limited cultivation level. Generally speaking, for competitions within counties, the cultivation level is at the level of Qi training. Only those above the state level may have the participation of foundation-building monks, and of course the venue will be larger.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there were Jindan-level competitions. The venue was set in the sky and the scope was astonishingly large. Nowadays, those at the Zifu level are very rare.
For a mortal like Grandma Chen, even the Qi training level venue is too big to see the game clearly. This is the atmosphere.
"Maybe I should get the telescope out, it will definitely sell well here." Yang Zhen thought to herself.
…
Today's game is the finals of the year, it is the Zhao family versus Xuanyang County.
There are seven quarters in the game, each quarter lasts for a quarter of an hour. Including the rest time, the entire game will last for more than an hour.
When Yang Zhen and the others arrived, the first quarter had just ended. Both sides took this time to replace players and rest to recover their mana. By the end of the second quarter, the Zhao family had a 7-3 lead, clearly having the upper hand. But Yang Zhen and the others don't care who wins or loses, they just watch the fun.
At this time, a beautiful young lady came, it was Caiyun.
"Miss, I heard from grandma that you are here too and asked you to come up."
Yang Zhen quickly apologized to Grandma Chen and followed Caiyun to the box in the center of the auditorium.
Zhao Yue'er's eyes immediately lit up when she saw Yang Zhen coming in. These days, her grandfather plays with her every day, and she has less contact with her stone brother, and she really misses her.
But before she could speak, Yang Zhen was called over by her grandma.
"The Zhu family's case has been closed." Mammy said straight to the point.
"How to deal with it?" Yang Zhen was also curious.
"Except for Zhu Shiya, all the monks from the Zhu family who participated in the excavation and sale of Kongming Stone will be executed..."
"Zhu Shiya was spared the death penalty because he actively cooperated and explained many things. He and other monks in the family were sent to the mine to mine spiritual minerals..."
For monks in this world, mining spiritual minerals is very hard. He needs monks to extract the spiritual energy from the mineral veins, inject it into specific magic weapons, and fuse it with jade to form spiritual stones.
During the whole process, the monks will continue to consume mana, which not only delays their cultivation, but also the number of spiritual stones generated through the magic weapon is clear and cannot be faked at all.
Therefore, ordinary monks stay away from mining spiritual minerals, unless they are given a very high salary, or like the Zhu family, they have to do it if they commit a crime.
"The Zhu family's spiritual mountains, spiritual veins, etc. will be handed over to the sect for auction," Mammy continued: "For the mortals of the Zhu family, direct descendants will be handed over to the government for disposal, while others will be forcibly divided into sects."
"In short, after this incident, the Zhu family no longer exists." She said leisurely.
In front of the powerful sect, the Zhu family's dream of growing the family by relying on the Kongming Stone Mine was ruthlessly suppressed.
