Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 325 Overture
After Ying Baoyue finished speaking, Ji Jiashu was startled again, but then nodded.For a moment, he didn't know what to say or what he was thinking, and finally thought about it, "Well, but before that, the most important thing is that you can get through this initial ceremony safely."

Why did you suddenly change the subject?Ying Baoyue paused, but the boy in front of him suddenly became serious.

Ji Jiashu stared at the girl in front of him, "Are you going to participate?"

Although what the woman said just now made his heart skip a beat, but after thinking about it carefully, this is something that only happened when the woman became the leader.

But given the woman's current state and status, this possibility is almost negligible. What Ji Jiashu is worried about now is whether she can survive.

Regardless of what the marriage contract would turn out to be and what his inexplicable mood was, there was one thing he was sure of.

Just like what he said when he asked Chen Zichu and Xu Yishan back then.He didn't want the woman to die.

At least don't die according to other people's wishes.

Ji Jiashu knew very well that during yesterday's feast, he did feel the murderous intent projected on that woman.

Just when this woman decided to participate in the elementary ceremony, he also understood how much killing intent and malice she would have to bear as the first practitioner to participate in the elementary ceremony as a woman seven years later.

There are countless people who want her dead.

Even putting these aside, the primary ceremony, especially the first round of the crowd battle, is also very dangerous.

Because it's the only fight that doesn't happen in public.

Ji Jiashu looked at the girl in front of him and took a deep breath. If he was a normal fiancée, he would have tried to stop it when he knew the rules of the first round, but he couldn't.

Why hasn't she joined one yet and both are fearing for her life?Don't keep planting flags for her like this before participating. Looking at the young man in front of her, Ying Baoyue smiled bitterly, "What will happen after all? I've only heard about the rules roughly."

"In the afternoon, the stepson of the former Qin Dynasty, that is, Ying Xun will probably gather the practitioners of the former Qin Dynasty," Ji Jiashu looked at Ying Baoyue and said, "he will tell you in detail then."

"To put it simply, all practitioners need to stay in a mountain forest for three days, and there are many traps, beasts and... ghosts." For some reason, when he mentioned this 'ghost', the voice of the young man in front of him suddenly paused.

"What is a ghost?" Ying Baoyue asked, she was also considered a person with rich combat experience, so she knew very well that this ghost could not be a real 'ghost'.

"They are disguised by people," Ji Jiashu said, "usually high-level practitioners, as the opponents of the arrangement."

That is, the villain played by someone.

Originally, with so many practitioners entering the mountain, it would be easy to fight. As a result, there were still some officials who were responsible for muddying the water. One can imagine how chaotic those three days would be.

"Before entering the mountain, you have to sign the certificate of life and death," Ji Jiashu looked at Ying Baoyue with a complicated expression, "Because in the end, the winner or loser depends on the number of surviving people in each country, so..."

He took a deep look at Ying Baoyue, "Although private fighting is forbidden on the surface, low-level practitioners will often become the targets of hunting."

The most terrifying thing in this world is always the human heart.

Ying Baoyue was taken aback when she heard the words. Although she could guess some of it, she didn't think too much about it because it was the rules set by the master, but from the people who participated, it seemed very true.

"Is it like this?" Ying Baoyue stared at Ji Jiashu.

"In the past... private fights were strictly investigated," Ji Jiashu paused, "but since seven years ago... there are no restrictions on these."

"Only look at the results, not the process, in order to cultivate stronger practitioners in all aspects."

Where is it to be stronger, Ying Baoyue's eyes darkened, it really started seven years ago, which means that the mountain will become a lawless place in three days and three nights, and anything can happen.

This kind of practice is simply raising Gu. If it is a strong man with a reputation like Ji Jiashu, it is fine, but after entering the mountain, the weak will obviously be the first to be eliminated.

Elimination here refers to death.

Of course, after experiencing yesterday's battle, not many people would regard this woman as a soft persimmon. Ji Jiashu looked at the girl in front of him and said, but the problem is that with her status, it is inevitable that some high-level practitioners will be tempted.

Looking at Ying Baoyue, he suddenly sighed, "It would be great if you could always hide your identity."

But she didn't expect that she would give up her protection for Xu Yishan.

"The plan can't keep up with the changes," Ying Baoyue said with a smile.

"You..." Looking at the clear eyes of the girl in front of him, Ji Jiashu's heart suddenly moved slightly. Looking at these eyes, he asked, "Why didn't you disguise yourself as a man?"

In this way, she will undoubtedly have a lot less resistance, and she will not have to embark on this most difficult path.

Although it is not easy to dress up as a man, Ji Jiashu knows that this woman must have a way. Before he knew her, if he knew that there was a woman participating in the primary ceremony, he felt that no matter who it was, he would definitely choose to dress up as a man first.

Then she doesn't have to bet with Jiang Yuanyuan, and she doesn't have to be targeted, and she will even become a rare dark horse.

"As long as you can participate, no matter what your identity is, shouldn't you be able to?" He murmured.

Why didn't the woman choose the obviously better path?
"If there is really something unspeakable, there is nothing wrong with making such a choice," Ying Baoyue looked at him and smiled, "but if you do it when you can choose, I think it is tantamount to admitting all of this."

"Admit what?" Ji Jiashu was startled when he heard that.

"It's like admitting that everything is right now." Ying Baoyue looked at the young man in front of her and said softly.

Women cannot practice.Cannot participate in the primary ceremony.

Women cannot participate in politics.Cannot be an official.

Unless you're pretending to be a man.

"But everything is wrong," Ying Baoyue looked at Ji Jiashu and said seriously.

There is nothing wrong with male cultivators or female cultivators. Her master created this ritual for all practitioners, not for some of them.

But reality changed all that.

But this does not mean that in such an ancient night, she will choose to succumb to such reality.

This is a long revenge, if you don't participate as a woman, it is really meaningless to her and her master.

"It's their fault, not me," Ying Baoyue looked at Ji Jiashu and smiled, "If I did this, I would give up."

Gave up on proving it all wrong.

Someone else was wrong, not her master.

She will not give up.

Will not change for this reality.

Ji Jiashu stared blankly at the woman in front of him.The morning light hit her body, forming a slight halo, soft and tough, which was her unique toughness.

"I understand," he said with his eyes closed, quietly looking at the next generation of practitioners who were about to step into the land of death.

"I wish you all the best," he said softly.

"Well, I will. Then I'll go back." Ying Baoyue looked at him and smiled, then turned and left.

Ji Jiashu looked at the girl's thin back in the morning light.

She will not be changed by the world, so what she has to do is to change the world?

……

……

As Ji Jiashu said, not long after Ying Baoyue returned to Qing'an Yuan, Guichen received a post from the former Qin stepson to all the former Qin practitioners who participated in the primary ceremony.

Of course, it was not sent to her.

But I don't know if it was because she and Guichen filled in the same place when registering the roster before, but anyway, Fuying Baoyue, who entrusted Guichen, also saw this post.

This is a post that invites all former Qin practitioners to go to the Ye Mansion to discuss the strategy of crowd warfare.

But the primary ceremony is only two days later, and so many practitioners are meeting for the first time, Ying Baoyue doesn't think that the first meeting can discuss anything at this time.But she guessed that Ying Xun should have already organized a group of strong former Qin practitioners as the main force. After all, team battles must be cultivated and coordinated, and it is obviously unrealistic to form a temporary team.

And the people other than the main force should be the peripheral personnel who are purely responsible for obedience.

And she and Guichen are obviously peripheral personnel, and the main task in team battles should be to save their lives.

But I heard that each person's score in the crowd battle is related to the contribution of each practitioner in this victory.

This also means that even if she survives, if she can't do something, she may not be able to get a grade.

What a terrible rule.

While thinking about this, as the sky darkened, Ying Baoyue and Gui Chen took a carriage together and came to the mansion where Ying Xun lived and was adopted for so many years.

It is also the place where Ye Jingshu and Ye Siyuan grew up.

The mansion of Southern Chu Da Sikong, Ye Mansion.
