There must be rules for drawing lots. This is a normal thing. Naturally, Lu Zhenren and Zhang Yu didn't know what Yuan Zhenren had in mind. They both nodded and said respectively: "Yes, there are no rules without rules. Everything must have rules. What's more, the drawing of lots is a It's a very important thing." "Exactly, I don't know what the rules Master Yuan mentioned are, but what kind of rules are they?"

"I think that if it is too troublesome to draw lots round by round, why not imitate the World Cup competition format, directly divide the half zone, list the matchup situation, and then play according to this matchup situation until the finals !" Master Yuan said calmly.

"This is a good idea." Zhang Yu nodded.

Master Lu didn't think anything was wrong. He nodded and said, "That's okay. It saves you the trouble of drawing lots one after another."

When Yuan Zhenren saw that the two agreed, she was secretly happy. She originally thought that Lu Zhenren would have some resistance, and she and Zhang Yu would have to work together to kill each other. Now it seems that everything is going smoothly. From this, it is not difficult to confirm that Lu Zhenren is quite confident.

Master Yuan struck while the iron was hot, then waved his hand and said: "I have drawn a partition table in advance, please take a look."

After saying this, a disciple from Baimei Palace came up from the audience holding a huge writing board.

On the writing board, draw Cousin, which looks similar to the World Cup bracket. There are sixteen spaces on the left and sixteen spaces on the right. Every eight spaces is a partition, and "Heaven", "Earth", "Xuan" and "Huang" are specially marked on it. The spaces are marked with lines, and they are grouped in pairs. For example, if you are in the Tian group, after advancing to the top 16, the top 8 will be determined by the sects that advance to the top 16 in the Tian group.

After the top eight are formed, there will be only two sects left in the Tian group, and these two sects will then determine the top four spots. One of the top four teams from the Sky Group will compete in a semi-final with the top four teams from the Ground Group, and the winner will advance to the finals. The losers will compete with the losers from the Black and Yellow groups in the third and fourth place finals.

Everyone is staring at the form. It seems that there is no problem at all, and it is very scientific and reasonable. After all, many competitions adopt this mode, which saves the trouble of drawing lots back and forth.

"I think everyone, after seeing this form, should be able to understand what is going on. I guess you don't need any more explanation." Master Yuan said loudly again.

"Understood." "Understood." "Understood."... Everyone nodded.

"The next step is to draw lots. In order to ensure fairness and justice, the rules of the draw are as follows. I have prepared 31 small balls and notes from the 31 Taoist sects present. All notes will be placed in small Among the balls, and then draw one from each group according to the four groups of heaven, earth, black and yellow, and then draw the second round, and the third round, until all four groups are drawn. I think you have no objection to this rule!" Yuan Zhenren said again .

This is a reasonable thing, otherwise, how to smoke.

The big guy nodded again, indicating that there was no problem.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Master Yuan immediately asked people to bring up the small ball and the prepared note for everyone to see. All the balls are of the same size, and the paper strips are also the same size, no problem at all.

Everyone looked at it briefly and nodded, saying there was no problem. So, Yuan Zhenren asked his disciples to put the notes into the balls and then pour them into a box. It's just that this box is not transparent, but it still allows everyone to check it.

The balls were poured into the box and placed in front of Yuan Zhenren by the disciple. Normally, you have prepared everything, so how can it be done by you?

But this time, Master Yuan was obviously shameless, and immediately said: "Now I will draw the group matches according to the rules."

After saying this, she didn't care whether others objected or not, she just reached into the box, stirred it up properly, and pulled out a small ball. She immediately opened the ball, took out the note from inside, and handed it to Lu Zhenren.

"This is the first space in the Tian group. Now it's up to Fellow Daoist Lu to announce which family it is." Yuan Zhenren said seriously.

When Master Lu saw Master Yuan drawing lots in person, he was somewhat dissatisfied. How could you do this? You had prepared everything, yet it was still you who drew the lot.

Unfortunately, since Master Yuan is the president, there seems to be no problem if the president does the smoking. It’s just that you, Mr. Yuan, should avoid suspicion this time.

Of course, even after being slapped, it was hard for Lu Zhenren to say anything to avoid any unnecessary disputes and further complications.

Master Lu glanced at the note and said loudly: "The first position in the Tian group is Hongyang Temple!"

As soon as the voice settled, a disciple from Baimei Palace filled in the name of Hongyangguan in the first space on the writing board.

Next, Zhenren Yuan continued to draw lots.

I have to say that Yuan Zhenren’s design of group drawing is really damaging. She drew Zhang Yu to the Tian group. In the Tian group, there was not a single powerful Taoist temple, and all of them were just Taoist temples.

It was different in the ground group. She deliberately drew Yangchunguan here. When they entered the top 16 in the first round, Yangchunguan's opponents were very weak. However, when 16 advances to 8, we will meet the winner of Changshou Temple and Yuqing Palace. In terms of strength, Longevity View definitely beats Yuqing Palace.

Changshou Temple is a Taoist temple with some strength in Zhengyi Sect. Although it will definitely lose against Yangchun Temple, it can definitely resist it.

Even if Yangchun Guan reaches the top 8, they will encounter Mingxian Palace when they reach the top 8. Before the rise of Wudang Taoist Temple, Mingxian Palace could be regarded as the strongest Taoist temple of Zhengyi Sect under Baimei Palace.

The Taoist temples in the top four of the earth group will face the top four Taoist temples of the heavenly group. To put it bluntly, there are no Taoist temples.

For Yangchun Guan, if they want to reach the finals, every game is a tough battle.

Baimei Palace is in the Xuan group, and there is only one strong opponent in the Xuan group. Of course, this opponent is not good enough at all, how could he be the opponent of Bai Mei Palace. Because this opponent is the Qiu Zumiao who discussed Taoism with Wudang Taoist Temple in Haihua Mountain last time. Yuan Zhenren specially arranged this matchup when 16 advanced to 8, obviously deliberately trying to solve Qiu Zumiao in advance.

In addition, in the Huang group, there are two relatively strong Taoist temples, namely Lu Zuge and Dongfu Temple. However, these two families can only meet at the last moment when 8 enters 4. As for who of the two families will advance in the end, in Yuan Zhenren's view, it actually doesn't matter. Because they will definitely lose to Bai Mei Palace.

This is the result of Yuan Zhenren's deliberate drawing. Why can she draw it so accurately? Naturally, there is something weird on the ball. On the small balls, especially those at Baimei Temple, Yangchun Temple, Wudang Taoist Temple, and Mingxian Temple, Yuan Zhenren has carried out special processing to ensure that the weight of each small ball is different. Yuan Zhenren practiced a lot last night. With her ability, it is not easy to determine which sect is in the ball through the subtle weight difference of the ball.
