Chapter 194 The First Wulin Vocational Skills Competition (1)
The fifteen finalists were introduced one by one, and with the sound of a gong, the finals officially began. All the contestants were gearing up, and some even secretly took Dali Pills to prepare to show off their skills in this skills competition.
However, the content of the competition has always been kept secret.
Bai Xiaosheng said: "Next, what will be the final competition? To be honest, I still don't know, but I have already obtained the contents of the first round of competition from Six Doors."
He took out an envelope, showed the front and back to everyone, then glanced at the outer cover of the letter, and said: "Everyone, the envelope is well sealed, I'm going to open it."
He opened the envelope, took a look, and looked stunned, looking a little surprised. However, after all, he was the head of Xiaosheng Media, and he still had the ability to control the situation. He quickly organized his words and asked: "Everyone is a Jianghu.
What does a middle-aged person rely on to travel around the world?"
"strength!"
"Martial arts!"
"Sect!"
"Loyalty!"
The heroes in the audience responded one after another, with different answers.
Bai Xiaosheng said, "Both strength and loyalty are all part of walking in the world, and what we compete in this professional skills competition, in addition to these, luck is also indispensable. Good luck, in a chaotic battle
Among them, you can avoid stray arrows; if you are lucky, you can pick up martial arts secrets when you fall into the cliff; if you are lucky, when you are poisoned, a beautiful woman will give you drugs to heal your injuries. So, in the first round, we are testing luck!
"
Everyone on and off the stage was dumbfounded. Comparing luck? What kind of competition is this?
"What a mess!"
"interesting!"
"Isn't martial arts competition like child's play?"
Bai Xiaosheng smiled slightly, poured out a bunch of beans from the envelope, and said: "There are nine red beans and six mung beans here. I will put them into a bag, and fifteen players will draw them.
Those who get the red bean will advance to the next round! Thanks to Fan Xiaodao and Fan Captou from Liumen for contributing such a wonderful round of questions to us."
Fan Xiaodao was confused, "This is not mine! Is it your fault?"
Zhao Xingdao: "Didn't you come up with the question? Niu Dafu, you handed the plan to the prince. What's going on?"
Niu Dafu chuckled, "That day, when I gave the plan to His Highness, His Highness said that your topic was not interesting, and I didn't know what the four envelopes he sent out were."
Unexpectedly, His Highness the Crown Prince, who has always been serious, actually has such a naughty side.
Fan Xiaodao sighed, "It seems we have to bear the burden."
Zhao Xingdao said, "It was you who carried it, not us."
Although the contestants were puzzled, they still stepped forward. Each player put his hand into the bag and took out one. The answer was finally revealed. Six contestants got the mung beans and were eliminated!
These six people were dejected. After preparing for so long, they lost in the lottery.
Bai Xiaosheng said, "What a pity. The six of you are all capable of competing for the top spot. You just lack a little luck. Don't be discouraged."
The six people were a little reluctant, but the rules were set by the six doors, so they still accepted the arrangement of luck.
Zhang Wei, Bai Bufan, Tang Sanshao and other nine people successfully entered the second round. However, after the first round of questions, they lost confidence in their hearts. In this skills competition, the questions were so impressive that they didn't know what would happen next.
What problems are waiting for them?
In the second round, two detectives brought up a box.
Everyone was puzzled. Bai Xiaosheng showed the seal again. After opening the box, he opened the envelope, took a look at it, and said: "Considering that you are all people in the world, some people practice knives, some people practice swords, and some people practice axes, axes, hooks and forks.
If we compete against one of them, there will inevitably be suspicions of unfairness, so the second round of questions is about testing the basic skills of traveling in the world."
Everyone speculated, "Basic skill? It can't be Zamabu, right?"
"Impossible, Zamabu, do you need a box?"
Bai Xiaosheng said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. What we rely on when walking in the world is the pair of shoes on our feet. As the saying goes, your feet know best whether the shoes fit well. Our second round of competition is
The basic skill for traveling in the world: shoe repair!"
Everyone in the audience nodded.
Traveling in rivers and lakes is not about sightseeing. It is common to not take a shower for months, wear worn out shoes, and not have hot meals for several days. Especially those who transport goods in escort agencies and run docks, who often walk through barren mountains and ridges, shoes,
If your clothes are torn, you have to do it yourself. Some sects regard repairing, survival in the wilderness, hunting, fetching water, and making fire as compulsory subjects.
When the box was turned over, there were broken shoes everywhere!
Everyone on the stage was dumbfounded. Some had lost the soles of their shoes, some had holes, and some even had foot odor. How could a proud man like Tang Sanshao and Bai Bufan do such a thing?
"Dirty" work? They all covered their noses.
"Let us thank the author of this question: Zhao Xing Zhao Captou!"
Zhao Xing's face was full of embarrassment.
Fan Xiaodao chuckled and said, "It's you, not us."
Bai Xiaosheng said: "Now you are free to choose your shoes and tools. If you don't fix it in one stick of incense, you will be eliminated. If you finish all the repairs, the judges from each faction will judge the ranking. The top six will start!"
Give an order.
While several people were still hesitating, Zhang Shou took a quick step, grabbed a pair of shoes that had fallen off, took the needle and thread, and began to mend them. Immediately afterwards, an escort from the Zhongyuan Escort Bureau also picked up a pair and started to repair them.
Come.
Tang Sanshao, Bai Bufan, you look at me, I look at you, big eyes and small eyes.
As a disciple of the Wudang Inner Academy, Bai Bufan has many younger disciples from the Wudang Outer Academy under his command. Not to mention repairing shoes, even things like brushing shoes and folding quilts, the disciples from the Outer Academy rush to do it in order to curry favor with him.
As for Tang Sanshao, he never lacks shoes. If his shoes are broken? Just throw them away. Do they still need to be repaired?
Many of the heroes in the audience have endured hard times. As soon as the question came out, they immediately touched their sensitive points. They said with emotion, "I think back then, a pair of socks took three years to make new ones, three years to get old ones, and another three years to mend them."
, This is the world. Now that life is getting better, we must stick to the hard and simple style of the past, and we must also learn to remember the bitter and the sweet. This question is well done!"
Seeing that a third of the stick of incense was burnt and they would be eliminated if they didn't take action, the two of them quickly picked up the last two shoes and started repairing them, regardless of their status.
Dajimen is a small sect and a dual cultivation sect. In addition to learning martial arts, repairing shoes, growing vegetables, and cooking are all things that can be done easily. The progress is very fast. Bai Bufan, the third young master of the Tang family, is in a worse situation.
They were very comfortable with daggers, but they seemed a bit clumsy when picking up needles and threads. Tang Sanshao was a little better. After all, he came from a family that practiced hidden weapons. He had practiced the golden needle technique, and his hands and feet were more flexible. Bai Bufan was born in Wudang and did not use hidden weapons.
There was no place to hold the needle, and within a few moments, it was pricked several times, causing blood to flow out.
The more this happened, Bai Xiaosheng was still standing by and explained: "All the contestants are doing their best. Look, Master Zhang from the Daji Sect has delicate stitches and neat stitches. He is currently in the leading position. It can be seen that
, his basic skills are relatively solid. Wudang Bai Shaoxia is a little behind at the moment, and it seems he still has to work hard, everyone, please work harder for him!"
Ouch!
Bai Bufan pricked it again.
He was a little annoyed. In order to prevent being pricked again, he directly poured internal force into his hand. With a click, the needle was broken by the internal force. He replaced it with another needle and wasted a lot of time just to thread the needle and thread.
"Okay! The first contestant has finished! It's not Zhang Shang, but Dongfang Buju from... Heimuya! Congratulations to Dongfang contestant! Our second contestant, Dajimen Zhang Shou, has also completed the competition!"
Several other players also completed it one after another.
Bai Bufan and Tang Sanshao were sweating profusely, but after all, they came from a martial arts background, so they were a little uncomfortable at first, but once they got started, they quickly caught up.
A stick of incense burned out.
Bang!
A gong sounds and the time is up.
Bai and Tang breathed a sigh of relief and finally completed the competition before the deadline.
Bai Xiaosheng said, "Okay, all the contestants have finished. According to the rules, five judges are invited to come on stage to inspect the works of these nine contestants, and then score them respectively, and eliminate the last three!"
Liulian Shitai, Li Juefei, and Sheng Xuzi were the first to go on stage. After each inspection, they gave their scores. Before going on stage, Dangguizi and Tang Feng exchanged a few words in a low voice, and finally went on stage to inspect.
During the inspection, several people repaired the shoes, and the needle threads were broken. They broke apart again with a little force, including Dongfang Buju. He was originally the fastest in terms of stitching skills and speed, but unexpectedly, it broke.
It became a defective product and was directly eliminated.
Dongfang Buju said: "It's impossible. I'm on the Blackwood Cliff, embroidering day and night, and my weapon is just a needle. How could such a low-level mistake happen?"
Tang Feng said: "Do you suspect that we broke your shoes on purpose?"
"There are people from your sect here, and there must be something shady! I don't accept it!"
Angelica Taoist Priest said, "Buddha Amitayus, if you say there is a shady story, please provide evidence."
Dongfang Buju said, "What a bullshit skills competition, I won't compete!" After saying that, he walked away angrily. Angelica Taoist priest said, "You're acting on your own initiative!"
As a result, Dongfang Buju was eliminated miserably. Also eliminated were the bodyguard and a disciple from the Cao Gang, and these three were the three who had the best cultivation.
When the five major judges were giving scores, they all rated the scores of their own sect disciples very high, while the scores of other sects were very low. Like Zhang Shang, he was neither high nor low, and barely entered the next round.
In the end, this martial arts skills competition seemed fair, but the right to speak was still in the hands of the five major sects, and it turned out to be a competition between the major sects.
This aroused the dissatisfaction of many small and medium-sized sects, and they shouted black whistle, insider information, etc. What's more, they began to support Zhang Shang, who also came from a small sect.
"Master Zhang, if you don't want to make steamed buns to fight for your reputation, you must represent us and be the leader!"
Zhang Wei was also worried, but fortunately he was very popular. The five sects seemed to be in harmony, but despite their overt and covert fights, they helped him. When he heard the support from people in the audience, he repeatedly raised his hands and thanked him.
Chapter completed!
