Chapter 425 This Year's Particularly Exciting Tournament

"Well, I didn't expect that the competition for cultivators would be held in the same place as the competition for ordinary people."

Walking out of the airport, Adam couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the banner welcoming the participating teams from various provinces and cities not far away.

"After all, it's very troublesome to build a venue for a competition. It's better not to use it."

The office arranged for the two brothers Yun Jinshu and Yun Yanhui to pick him up at the airport. One of them helped Adam push the suitcase, and the other was responsible for explaining:

"The car is parked in front. Adam, do you want to go somewhere else to play first, or go directly to the accommodation area next to the competition venue?"

Because they are of similar age and have been together for a long time before, the words between Adam and the two brothers of the Yun family are not so polite.

"Accommodation area?"

Adam's eyes lit up:

"Will all the sects participating in the competition live there?"

"Yes, because we know that you are interested in the cultivators here, the office deliberately did not arrange accommodation separately."

"Thoughtful."

Adam smiled and nodded.

It is indeed a rare experience to be able to have close contact with the cultivators from China, and from various sects.

"Sometimes I really can't help but sigh, Adam, your conversation is exactly like that of a native Chinese."

Yun Yanhui, who was pushing the luggage, couldn't help but say.

It's okay that there is no accent in Chinese, and it can be understood that Adam's mother usually communicates with him in Chinese, and there is a language environment.

But would the words "thoughtful" really appear in the context of communication between mother and son? It would never appear in English communication, right?

Adam just smiled naturally:

"You can treat me as a native Chinese."

Yun Yanhui just sighed, which was not even a flaw. Then he got in the car, and the two brothers began to introduce the situation of the championship to Adam, occasionally interspersed with some evaluation and introduction of the surrounding scenery.

"Speaking of which, Adam, you really came to this competition. This year's competition will probably be very exciting~"

"Huh?"

Adam looked at Yun Jinshu, who was talking with great joy, and thought for a while:

"Is there anything special about the contestants?"

Generally speaking, the process of this kind of competition is fixed, and the only thing that can change is the contestants.

"Yes, I don't know if it was agreed that many young core disciples of many sects participated in this competition, and this does not include those who may have heard of it... Compared with the last session, this year's competition can be said to be a fight between dragons and tigers."

Yun Jinshu couldn't help but bring some expectations and yearning while speaking:

"If I participated in this competition, I'm afraid it would be difficult to squeeze into the top ten..."

Although he said so, Yun Jinshu's tone clearly showed that he would rather not have a high ranking and still want to participate in this competition.

"Don't even think about it, it's still in the top ten."

Yun Yan rolled his eyes at his brother's boasting:

"Tianshi Mansion, Chongyang Palace, Mianshan Daluo Palace, Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace, Lingyin Temple, Puji Temple, Qinglong Temple, Daci'en Temple, Biyong Academy, Yangming Academy... these are ten, and I can count another twenty or thirty for you."

Adam was a little surprised when he heard this.

Could it be that I am really the protagonist and I can catch up with rare events wherever I go?

But Adam soon came to his senses. This kind of thing is probably just a coincidence, otherwise when he first knew about this tournament, he should have happened to encounter the opening of the tournament.

Facing Yun Yanhui's sabotage, Yun Jinshu's face suddenly turned red:

"It's not about who is more famous or popular. They may not be able to beat me on stage!"

"Yeah."

Adam was also a little curious:

"Didn't you say before that Shushan Taoist Flying Sword is the best?"

"It is indeed the best flying sword. Although flying swords are good at attacking, the biggest advantage of flying swords is their extremely long range. It is impossible for the two sides to open up 800 meters in the ring battle."

Yun Yanhui was a little helpless when he spoke:

"We are already the best in Shushan flying swords in this generation "There are many outstanding disciples, but even in our class, we were only the third or fourth place. "

"So that's how it is..."

Adam understood, but he didn't think anything rude. It's normal for each sect to have its own strengths:

"Look at it on the bright side. Your sect, which is similar to a sniper, can still beat the third or fourth place even when being approached. It's already very good. "

The correct way to use a flying sword should be to give you a hard blow from eight hundred miles away. No matter how many tricks you have, you will be beheaded by the time you react.

The two brothers of the Yun family just smiled at this. They obviously didn't have too much entanglement about it.

"Come to think of it, from what you said, besides flying swords, Shushan has other ways?"

"Of course, as one of the three major mainstreams of Taoism, how could everyone in such a big Shushan only practice flying swords."

Seeing Adam's curious expression, Yun Yanhui further explained:

"There are countless branches of Taoism, but generally speaking, it is recognized that there are three veins. The main practice of talismans is Longhushan, the main practice of inner alchemy is Chongyang Palace, and the main practice of flying tools is Shushan."

"But this division is not very accurate. After all, they are all Taoists. Even if there are untold secrets, everyone in the general category will know what they should know. There are also people practicing talismans and inner alchemy in Shushan."

Hearing this, Yun Jinshu couldn't help but interrupt:

"So a clearer and easier-to-understand classification is that Longhu Mountain is the leader of Zhengyi, Chongyang Palace is the leader of Quanzhen, and Shushan is the leader of Sanxiu."

"Shushan... is Sanxiu?"

Adam blinked:

"Shushan is also a famous sect, why is it classified as Sanxiu?"

"The founder of Shushan is Yin Zu. Strictly speaking, it is not Taoism, but Taoism, and this classification is just for the convenience of understanding. Anyway, Zhengyi and Quanzhen are all on our side."

Yun Jinshu added an explanation.

Adam suddenly realized, then thought about the exchange between the two just now, and had another question:

"By the way, why didn't you mention Shaolin Temple in the examples you gave before?"

Yun Yanhui seemed to have randomly cited ten examples from the three religions at that time, but it can still be vaguely seen that the famous ones will be ranked first, but Yun Yanhui cited four examples of Buddhist temples and did not mention Shaolin Temple.

Logically speaking, as the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism, Shaolin Temple should be the first temple that most people think of when they mention Buddhism. They would not deliberately skip it...

"Uh... Shaolin Temple is indeed very famous among ordinary people who are not practitioners, and it was indeed the number one temple in Buddhism before."

Yun Yanhui blinked and explained:

"But after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the office was established, and the monks practicing in Shaolin Temple were scattered to various temples."

"Ah? Why?"

Adam was a little confused. Is this a confrontation between the office and Shaolin Temple?

That shouldn't be the case. No matter how you think about it, if Shaolin Temple confronts the office, Shaolin Temple will lose.

After confronting the office, there is no reason for the office to let those monks disperse to other temples. Even if they are not killed, they should at least let them return to secular life, right?

Fortunately, Yun Jinshu's next explanation immediately answered Adam's doubts:

"At that time, Shaolin Temple's reputation in Buddhism was too high, and it was not easy to manage, so..."
