The next day, according to Jinji Fengjian's arrangements, it was announced recently that it was time to receive guests from outside to watch the game. There are many people in the rivers and lakes who like to join in the fun. Since early this morning, the sounds of lively people have been heard in the valley.
The dragon halberd is closest to the periphery. From the cliff down, you can clearly see people passing by from time to time, all heading towards the Congfeng Heart Lake. The head of the sect also sent a few helpers to handle the affairs of the sect, and Dongfang Shiming also went with him to take a look.
Most of the people walking on the road to join in the fun were ordinary people, as well as businessmen who happened to be recuperating in Qingyuan Horse Market. There are very few people in the martial arts world, and experts are even rarer.
Following the crowd all the way to Congfengxin Lake, Dongfang Shiming didn't see a few decent warriors, and many of them came with poles and horses just for fun.
The hot sun was like a blazing fire, and there were businessmen setting up stalls along the road to buy mats and cattail fans, and they were very smart. It is not difficult for Dongfang Shiming to imagine that the previous Jinji Fengjian was probably a scene like this. It was said to be a martial arts competition, but it was more like going to a market.
However, this was also the first time he saw the competition venue - Cong Fengxin Lake in person.
The golden sunshine is floating on the lake, and the sparkling waves are very dazzling. Dongfang Shiming put his hands beside his eyes, admiring the jade in the mountains.
As its name suggests, Congfengxin Lake is a lake gathered among towering peaks. The area is very wide, and the waves push into the surrounding areas. From a distance, it looks like a tidal wave.
In the middle of the lake, which is as wide as a mirror, is the arena for the Jinji Fengjian competition. Due to the vastness of the lake, the arena is also very large and can accommodate nearly a thousand people. The long shed at the edge of the ring is the referee's seat, and along several narrow artificial paths, the shore is the viewing platform with the best viewing experience and sightline.
The entire competition venue is integrated with the Heart Lake and looks quite impressive and majestic. The wrinkled ring wind swayed down from the top of Fengcong Mountain, and the cool feeling was like a waterfall facing you.
Dongfang Shiming took a deep breath of the cool water, feeling fresh in his heart. Walking along the lakeside to the lofts of the guest rooms where there were dense crowds of people, Dongfang Shiming did not forget about business. He wanted to try his luck to see if he could meet Subiezhi.
Time passes quickly here. Dongfang Shiming spent the whole morning wandering around and helping. In the afternoon, looking at the endless crowd of people, he left Longji's team alone and walked between people at will, aimlessly.
The afternoon sun was blocked by a peak on the west side, and the heat quickly subsided. He walked to the lakeside, picked up a piece of grass, and held it in his mouth. Looking at the clear heart lake, he could even see traces of fish swimming back and forth.
"..."
He stood still, his mind in a trance.
"...H-hey!"
Suddenly, he heard someone calling in his direction in the distance, seemingly calling him.
Dongfang Shiming came back to his senses and turned to look at the very familiar voice in his impression——
"Ah, it's...you guys?!"
Dongfang Shiming's eyes suddenly lit up, he spat out the grass in his mouth, and immediately turned around and faced the two people. He passed through the passers-by and ran all the way to the two of them. He was even a little out of breath with excitement:
"Yes, Yue Shenchen, Kou Wufu, long time no see. Why are you... why are you here?"
In front of them, they were indeed Yue Shenchen and Kou Wufu whom they had not seen for a long time. They had not met each other since the incident at Chaoyun Street. Unexpectedly, they would meet again here. The three of them were overjoyed.
The two of them were standing on the higher side of the road. They didn't seem to be injured. They should be fine during this period. The two of them also looked at Dongfang Shiming, and they both felt relieved after confirming that everything was fine with each other.
"Where have you been during this time?" Dongfang Shiming looked back and forth between the two of them.
He heard Fu Yunge mention that the two went to chase Jiuche Xiaoying's remaining soldiers that night, and lost contact since then. After such a long time, they must have heard a lot.
Long time no see, Yue Shenchen and Kou Wufu still have their own problems. Yue Shenchen spoke very slowly, and Kou Wufu was so impatient that his logic was confused. Fortunately, the two complemented each other, and Dongfang Shiming barely understood what they meant.
It turned out that during this period, the two of them continued to run around.
Jiuche Xiaoying gradually began to attack in the east and west. The target of the attack and the target of the letter were often misaligned, making them uncertain and causing panic among people everywhere.
In the past, the two of them had often struggled to mediate Jiuche Xiaoying's battle of wits and strength to stop their plans, but they often failed. They ran around chasing news, and often fought with Jiuche Xiaoying's people.
This situation has finally subsided since the day Jinji Fengjian declared war on Jiuche Xiaoying. It is estimated that they are also wary and understand that with the current situation, more and more forces will be put into fighting them. They must also start to recharge their batteries and retain their strength.
"When we heard about this, we wanted to come here to join forces and contribute." Kowulf patted his chest.
After hearing this, Dongfang Shiming smiled and nodded: "It's just the right time. After the establishment of Jinji Fengjian, the seven sects will mobilize their forces to formally fight against Jiuche Xiaoying's mischief."
"You and Fu Yunge... cough, so what?" Yue Shenchen bowed her waist, still looking desperately ill.
Dongfang Shiming thought for a moment and told them about his and Fu Yunge's experiences. He spoke concisely and easily, and after a while, both of them had surprised expressions on their faces.
"You and Fu Yunge...huhu, it's not easy." Yue Shenchen said, rubbing her chest.
"Nothing is easy." Dongfang Shiming said with a smile, "Isn't it our common goal to end this chaos as soon as possible?"
Suddenly, when the three of them were chatting in an interesting tone, they suddenly heard a burst of boos from the crowd, as if there was something surprising.
