The sky is full of stars and the waning moon hangs high.

The second watch has just arrived.

There were not many braziers on the top of Erlong Mountain, but now they have changed a lot. The entire top of the mountain is completely illuminated by the fire. Each of the elevated braziers is less than one meter apart. The entire top of Erlong Mountain is surrounded by elevated braziers. Circle, the open space in the middle is also illuminated by sixteen elevated braziers. Today, the top of Erlong Mountain is as bright as day.

Sixteen elevated braziers form a large circle in the middle. These sixteen elevated braziers are specially made. There is a gap in the corner of each brazier, which can illuminate the middle area brightly and make the landforms clearly visible.

Surrounding the sixteen elevated braziers is a circle of viewing seats. Except for the two contestants, everyone else can sit and watch on the periphery. The seats in this circle are to the north for the shamans and to the south for the Yue family. , the remaining east and west sides are occupied by the guests invited by these shamans. Surprisingly, the east side is full of people from the mysterious world in strange clothes, and the west side is occupied by some assassins from the world. Why is it so surprising? , that’s because this position was not assigned by the shamans, but formed spontaneously by the two groups of them. As expected, the fish looks for the fish, the shrimp looks for the shrimp, and the frog looks for the toad.

At two o'clock in the second watch, the top of Erlong Mountain was already full of people. After forty-eight minutes, everyone entered their seats and waited for the shaman to come out to host the competition.

"Everyone, thank you for coming to watch the ceremony and witness the three gambling battles between the Yue family and the Five Immortals family. The first battle will be held today."

The great elder stood up and walked to the open space in the middle. Because the center was illuminated by sixteen elevated braziers as bright as day, everyone could see the great elder. The great elder clasped his fists and saluted. He saluted politely to everyone around him and finished speaking. After speaking, the great elder stretched out his hand to indicate that everyone from the five Guanwai families and the Yue family could come in.

Behind the viewing seats of the five Guanwai families, there was a man dressed in black robes with a hood covering his head. You couldn't see what this person looked like at all. All I saw was that this man was tall and thin.

The head of the Lu family on the Yue family's side also strode out from the Yue family's viewing seat.

The head of the Lu family was wearing a dark blue cloth robe and black trousers with tied cuffs and trouser legs. Tight, with a pair of black cotton shoes on her feet, this outfit looks so clean and tidy. You can tell at a glance that this outfit is for convenience. There is a special belt around the waist of the head of the Lu family. The left and right sides of the belt have separate There is a row of small boxes on it. Each of these small boxes is only the size of a palm. It seems that these boxes have been used for a long time, and there is already a thick layer of patina on them.

A yellow one The head of the Lu family was carrying the cloth bag sideways. The mouth of the bag was open, and the shapes of some things could be faintly seen inside. The head of the Lu family carried a sword with a scabbard on his back, and held a peach wood sword in his hand. , with a whisk stuck on his back waist, this outfit is also armed to the teeth.

"Liu Mingzhao lives in the home of the Five Immortals outside the Pass."

Liu Mingzhao, a black-robed disciple representing the Five Immortals Family outside the Pass, walked to the left hand side of the great shaman elder, slowly raised his two hands hidden under the black robe, and gently lifted his hood. , a thin and gloomy face appeared in front of everyone. The eyes on this face were sunken, the eye sockets were slightly blue and black, there were no eyebrows, the cheeks were fleshless, only covered by a layer of skin, and the cheekbones were thin because of the lack of flesh on the face. There is an obvious bulge, the lips are very thin, the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, and the hair on his head is mixed with black and white. From the sound of his voice, this person sounds young, but he looks like he is already an old man.

Liu Mingzhao, in black robe, faced Lu The head of the family clasped his fists and saluted, which was regarded as respect for his opponent.

"The head of Qilu's Lu family went to battle on behalf of Qilu's Yue family today."

The head of the Lu family looked at the representative of the Five Immortals family in front of him, and he could clearly tell that this person was not easy to mess with. Others might be attracted by his mysterious feeling and his weird face, but the head of the Lu family was looking at Liu Mingzhao's Eyes, the head of the Lu family saw the faint light in Liu Mingzhao's eyes, which is not something ordinary people can have.

What's more, the head of the Lu family has long known that this shamanism is to create a quick master, and at least this master cannot be worse than him. It's a lot, and with the background of shamanism, there are a lot of materials that can be used. In the end, I didn't see what equipment the black-robed man had. Of course, he couldn't see clearly when he was in the black robe, but at least he didn't see any. What a big deal.

As for why the head of the Lu family did not tell his name, this is the consensus of people in the Xuanjie. This is not the martial arts, where face is important. In the Xuanjie, secrecy is the main thing, and the birth date cannot be told. With others, lest some evil demon takes your birth date and turns into a demon, then your life and death will be completely out of your control.

This real name also has a certain effect, at least in the hands of some illusion masters, having a real name will It can better arrange the illusion and confuse you better, so the head of the Lu family does not dare to tell his real name.

Black-robed Liu Mingzhao has no such worries. He has already seen the information about the head of the Lu family. This Lu family The family is a mixed family of yin and yang, and their main business is to travel the yin and exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts. The ghost here refers to all spirits collectively.

The Lu family is not good at curses and illusions. It is even said that they do not know curses and illusions at all. Understanding comes to understanding. , if you can use it, you can use it. These are two concepts. I know it, but it doesn't mean that I can use it.

The head of the Lu family can break curses and illusions, but he can't use curses and illusions. At least in today's environment, in Under such public gaze, the head of the Lu family would not dare to use it. After all, the Lu family, a thousand-year-old family, has always upheld the right path, and most of its contacts are with families and sects in the right path.

"In the year of Yihai, in the month of Wuzi and on the day of Bingzi, with the consent of the Yue family of Qilu and the Five Immortal families outside Guanwai, our Shamanism will mediate the dispute between the two parties. It will be decided by three gambling games. If the Yue family wins all three games, the Yue family will be allowed to leave the customs safely, and the Shamanism will Guarantee that no one or force will disturb the Yue family in Baishan and Heishui, as well as the place where their ancestors are buried. If so, the Yue family wins two out of three games, then the Yue family will keep all the classics and let everyone in the Yue family escape safely. If so, the Yue family wins one out of three games, the head of the Yue family will hang himself in Shanhaiguan, and the Yue family will leave all the classics behind, and other members of the Yue family can be released from Shanhaiguan. If so, the Yue family loses all three games, then the entire Yue family will be at the mercy of the Hu and Huang families. The above is agreed, both parties are completely voluntary, and the first gambling battle will begin today."

After the great elder said these words, he waved to the shaman disciples beside him. Then he saw four disciples carrying two tables, followed by two more disciples, each with a tray in his hand. It's a white brocade scroll, a plate of refined cinnabar, and a writing brush.

"There are two copies of the life and death contract here, please sign them on behalf of both parties."

When the elder saw the disciples placing the table and opening the scroll, he signaled to the head of the Lu family and Liu Mingzhao that they could come forward to sign. Although this was a formality, they still had to leave.
