Chapter 165 Temple Selection
iXu Yishi and others came to the center of the town square. The mayor straightened his chest. He clapped his palms hard and shouted loudly: "Everyone, come here, come here!"
As the head of a town, he was quite famous in the town. With such a loud roar, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even the two young men who played on the ring not far away were more like fighting than fighting stopped.
After hearing this, everyone spontaneously rushed towards the center of the square. However, their movements were not panic, but they felt like they were lined up in disorder. Yu Linghe looked at him and nodded secretly. This town is really worthy of being a military heritage. Even at this time, they could still see the side of the army in the details.
Moreover, it is not only men, but even all the elderly, weak, women and children are like this.
Xu Yishi looked down with satisfaction and said aloud: "Everyone, let me tell you good news!" He pointed to the temple guard beside him and shouted in an excited tone: "This is Lord Xu Xiang, the temple guard of Dawn City. He came to our town today and will watch the bonfire competition."
Everyone below was stunned at first, and then became lively as if boiling water had been lifted off the lid of the pot.
Yu Linghe looked around suspiciously, not understanding why the sudden turmoil of emotions became surging. After hearing this news, most people seemed extremely excited. If it were according to the previous life, it would be similar to taking stimulants.
After his eyes turned, Yu Linghe walked a few steps, grabbed Pu Miaozhuang who was cheering, and whispered: "Hey, what are you happy about?"
Pu Miaozhuang turned his head and saw Yu Linghe, and he stopped struggling. After the scene a few days ago, he knew that Yu Linghe had real talents and knowledge, and his relationship with his elder brother, he naturally did not dare to sting in front of him.
"Brother Yu, the temple guards come to watch the bonfire competition in our town. That is our recognition of us. And it is very likely that they will choose one and two of them to join the temple." Pu Miaozhuang said happily: "If you can join the temple and become the temple guard, that is the supreme glory! This is the matter of Guangzong and Ancestors!"
Yu Linghe suddenly realized that the temple had a very special status, and there were naturally a special set of rules for choosing guards. However, except for a very small number of people on the island, joining the temple and becoming a glorious temple guard is undoubtedly one of the greatest dreams of most people.
The cheers of the crowd gradually came to an end, and Xu Yishi said with a gloomy face: "Today's bonfire competition is the highlight of our town. The young men must do their best! Show well in front of the guards. Don't let me down!"
"Yes!" This time, the answer was not only the teenagers participating in the competition, but also many old people were cheering down, which once again caused a kind laugh.
Xu Yishi laughed and turned around and whispered: "Xu Xiang, what do you think?"
Xu Xiang smiled and said, "Uncle, everyone has a strong fighting spirit." He said with emotion: "Don't worry, I went out like this in the past. This time, as long as someone performs well, I will definitely recommend it."
Although he is now a noble temple guard, he was also a member of this town before becoming an escort. The reason why he was able to join the escort was because he performed well in a certain bonfire competition and became the son of flame to be spotted by the temple guards who came here to select. Therefore, he embarked on this road of glory and eventually became a glorious temple guard.
Now, looking at the turbulent look on the faces of many young people below, his mood seemed to have returned to a few years ago, so he felt a little moved.
Xu Yishi was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Okay, Xu Xiang, don't worry, this term will definitely not disappoint you."
Among the young people in this town, there are two geniuses in the town, Pu Miaolin and Wang Lingju. Any of them is qualified to be the candidate for the temple guards, and they participate in the bonfire competition at the same time. That is a double insurance, and one person will definitely be selected. Once you think about being able to cultivate a young man to join the temple during your term, your heart will be full of enthusiasm.
After strode forward, Xu Yishi and everyone came to the edge of the ring and whispered loudly: "The boys who signed up can go up and compete now."
Everyone below looked at each other. Although many people were eager to try, the young man was embarrassed to go to the first place to fight in full view.
"Since everyone dares to come, then I'll do it!" A loud voice came, and then a figure jumped onto the ring lightly. It was Wang Lingju who Yu Linghe had seen once.
With a slight narrowing of his eyes, Yu Linghe sighed in his heart. Although this guy is not in dealing with Pumiaolin, he can be regarded as a brave talent in this small place.
Seeing Wang Lingju come on stage, the bottom suddenly became quiet.
This guy has won the title of Son of Fire twice in a row and is famous. After seeing him appear, no one dared to take the stage to humiliate himself.
Yu Linghe's eyes turned and said, "Where is your elder brother?"
Pu Miaozhuang hurriedly said, "Brother said, the real bonfire competition will not start until night. So..." He lowered his voice and said, "He went to see his sister-in-law secretly."
Yu Linghe pulled the corner of her mouth slightly and said to herself, "I really can't tell that that stupid man actually has a moment of enlightenment."
Seeing that the scene became quiet, Xu Yishi hurriedly said, "Wang Lingju, come down first and give everyone a chance to show themselves. As for you, come back tonight."
"Yes." Wang Lingju looked depressed. He looked down on the ring for a long time, but he never found the figure of his old rival. The others obviously would not challenge him at this time, so they had to come down in a depressed state.
When he left the ring, the other young people breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, the two of them started fighting in a straightforward manner.
Yu Linghe just took a few glances and suddenly lost interest in watching.
These two people are both lay Buddhists of Sanduan. At their age, being able to reach Sanduan is already quite good on the island. However, they are not lay Buddhists of God and cannot release powerful divine grace, so the skills they can show at this moment are quite limited. For Yu Linghe, who has experienced many life-and-death battles, fighting with rat demons, abyss monsters, powerful human god-wives, and open-eyed believers, such a battle has no value for observation at all.
However, the other people's thoughts were obviously different from him. When they saw these two people fist and kicking, they were applauding loudly under the ring. Yu Linghe listened carefully and could naturally tell that these people were sincerely applauding, rather than perfunctory. He shook his head helplessly. This was a matter of vision. As his strength improved, he really looked down on such cultivation.
A quarter of an hour later, the two sides had already decided on the ring.
When the loser stepped down, the winner also walked off the stage amid the cheers of the crowd. He had already obtained the qualification to participate in the next round, so he naturally had to go down and rest.
When they got out, there were two more people on the ring.
Perhaps because of the presence of the temple guards, everyone's performance was extremely serious and there was no more of a playfulness. And because they became serious, accidents and casualties were inevitable.
The result of the second battle was that both sides suffered losses. The two lay Buddhists of Duan each vomited blood, but they both failed.
The match is compact and exciting, which makes most people excited.
However, like Yu Linghe, there was a little dissatisfied on his face.
There was a slap of tables and chairs directly under the ring. Xu Yishi and others sat here with Xu Xiang. Although no one was on guard around them, they naturally became empty. Except for the few people in the town, no one dared to approach this place at will.
While Xu Yishi and others were applauding, they were also secretly watching Xu Xiang's expression.
Although Xu Yishi is Xu Xiang's uncle according to family generation, and Xu Xiang was able to join the temple in the past, Xu Yishi's help was behind him. However, in Xu Yishi's eyes, Xu Xiang's identity is already extremely tall, so how dare he treat it with the attitude of the past.
At this moment, seeing Xu Xiang's thick eyebrows frowned slightly, he asked quickly: "Xu Xiang, are you not satisfied?"
Xu Xiang sighed lightly and said, "Uncle, I am already a guardian of the temple. You know, falsehood and deception are not allowed in front of the gods."
Xu Yishi's expression was correct and he hurriedly said, "That's natural. If anyone wants to deceive the gods, it will be a serious crime to kill the clan and it will be unforgivable."
Xu Xiang nodded slowly and said, "Not bad." His eyes suddenly froze, and said, "Uncle, if the young people in the town are doing this this year, then I don't need to waste time here."
The temple guard is a sacred profession to protect the gods. It is not enough to have a lot of passion. Without a certain talent and strength, it is impossible to join it.
Xu Yishi quickly waved his hand and said, "Oh, Xu Xiang, it's really not to be hiding. There are two good seedlings in our town this time. Oh, let Wang Lingju come on stage quickly."
Although he had known for a long time that among the young people in the town, Wang Lingju and Pu Miaolin, might be selected as temple guards, he was unwilling to let other young people in the town perform on stage. If someone was valued by Xu Xiang, it would be a surprise. However, now it seems that this idea has been shattered.
Wang Lingju's eyes lit up. He was so depressed that he was feeling down there for a long time. He was so idle that his hands and feet were itchy.
With a slight force on his feet, he immediately jumped onto the ring. He said aloud: "Which brother comes up and how many moves will accompany Wang?"
His voice was extremely loud and full of confidence. Of course, there was silence under the ring and no one paid attention to it.
Xu Yishi's face turned red. He suddenly stood up, showed his loud voice, and roared: "Pumiaolin, where have you died?"
"Here, come"
In the distance, two figures rushed towards each other, and a loud voice that was no less than Xu Yishi sounded almost at the same time: "I'm here!"
