Chapter Forty-Six: The Masters Gather
Rotten Mu arranged a small courtyard for Jiang Yu and his party that had already been tidied up, and then asked the disciples of the association to send some tea, and then personally made tea and chatted with Jiang Yu and the others.
"This is a unique cloud tea in Yunwu Mountain, which has a refreshing effect and tastes excellent. β
"Old man Rotten Wood, why are you suddenly so generous?"
"Eh, hehe, isn't this the first time Xiaoyou has come!"
Jiang Yu took a sip, the taste was sweet and a little bitter, Jiang Yu didn't know what good tea tasted like, anyway, this is the taste that Jiang Yu experienced now.
Xi Ling remembered the past and couldn't help biting his lip and clenching his fists: "Senior Rotten Wood, the juniors have always misunderstood their seniors before, so much so that they have done all kinds of disrespectful things, and I ask my seniors to forgive me." β
"Hehe, the girl is too rusty, you have to call me Uncle according to your generation!"
"Ahh
"It's already the valley master, and you're still so naughty!" Xi Ling poked Xi Yao's head like a sister.
"It's okay, just be happy. β
"Rotten wood senior, the kid has something to ask. β
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"
"The kid wants to feel the power of the true self realm that the Kuchiki senior said in his mouth. β
Jiang Yu's words were astonishing, and the women who looked at them were surprised, even if it was a half-step true self, it was not something that ordinary martial artists could match.
"Haha... Lao Dao has long wanted to learn the mysterious exercises of Xiaoyou again. β
"Senior, be careful, the kid is going to make a move. β
Rotten Mu didn't dare to be careless when he saw Jiang Yu's momentum change, and remembered the weird exercises he had fought before, and immediately said solemnly: "Let's make a move!"
The four women stood far away, their beautiful eyes revealed anticipation and excitement, Jiang Yu immediately ran the Xuantian Gong's strong Xuantian True Qi wrapped in the right palm, the blue and white color was like substance, the women felt Jiang Yu's true qi fluctuations and were shocked in their hearts, Aoki saw Jiang Yu's mysterious exercises again, expectant and serious.
Jiang Yu slapped it with one palm, and at this time, the rotten wood was like a hundred-year-old green tree, and the green wood breath of the strong vitality Aoki Gong became several times thicker than before, and a palm on Jiang Yu felt like a stone sinking into the sea, but as a Xuantian True Qi, even if it was a stone sinking into the sea, it would make this calm sea surface a tsunami.
I only heard a click of Jiang Yu and the air wave of the rotten wood, which broke the maple tree in the courtyard, and Xi Ling, who was standing in front of the women, took up his internal breath to dissolve the qi wave, Jiang Yu was shocked and slid out a meter away, and the rotten wood is hair switched back and forth between black and white, which was obviously not comfortable.
Jiang Yu understands what a half-step innate inner breath powerhouse is, and also understands what the ultimate essence of internal breath is, to put it simply, internal breath is a special version of the transformation of true qi, for example, his Aoki Gong cultivation to the innate will generate the power of Aoki, exaggeratedly, if it does not move, it is like the vitality of the green wood tree, and if it moves, the earth cracks and the landslide force shakes all directions.
And Xuantian Gong is to not change what he originally had, and then absorb the vitality of the outside world to strengthen himself, the most obvious advantage is that the true qi is purer and stronger than the inner breath, which can be seen from Jiang Yu's sevenfold nine hard resistance to the half-step true self, but the disadvantage is that it is currently unable to increase the longevity, and the rotten wood Taoist can live to at least five hundred years old if the true self is perfect, of course, this is also related to his exercises.
As for why Jiang Yu will not increase his longevity, this question stems from the particularity of Xuantian Gong, the external vitality absorbed by Xuantian Gong will all be condensed into Xuantian True Qi for his own use, so these True Qi are like unincreased Shouyuan, and the natal true qi that everyone has, and having a hundred years of longevity without fluctuation is the limit.
To get back to the point, Jiang Yu felt a lot after a fight, and he could be regarded as understanding the nature of internal breath.
"Xiaoyou's ability is rare in the world, and the young talent of this Demon Martial Arts Competition is afraid that he will suffer. β
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
Kuchimu looked at Jiang Yu's shy smile, and couldn't smile bitterly in his heart, thinking that you beat the old Tao and me to the point that your nose and face were swollen, what else would you not dare?
And the few people standing in the distance, except for Xi Ling, the other three daughters were already worshipping Jiang Yu at this time, Xi Yao even stepped forward with beautiful eyes and hugged Jiang Yu's arm and said, "Can the young lady teach me?"
Xi Ling gave Xi Yao a burst of chestnuts, Xi Yao covered her head in pain and looked aggrieved, which made everyone laugh, Qingyin and Qingyin had also adapted to the majestic valley lord like a little daughter on weekdays at this time, after all, there was no shortage of this along the way.
In the midst of laughter, I heard the sound of someone knocking on the door outside the hospital!
"What?"
"Elder Rotten Wood, the villa dinner has been prepared. β
"This dinner is still very rich, let's go with the old way!"
Follow the rotten wood Taoist through a few small courtyards, then came to the central courtyard of Yunwu Villa, the atrium is from west to east horizontally, the north end of the atrium has a three-story building facing south, the third floor has a mahogany round table and ten mahogany chairs, the first and second floors are placed four tables, and the entire atrium is full of round tables and round chairs, Jiang Yu estimates that there are at least one hundred and ten tables, and the wine and food have been filled and are waiting for the guests to take their seats.
Every year, there is a dinner before and after the conference. β
Jiang Yu nodded, it was clear that this was the first time he had seen him in his life.
"This time is also according to generations, the third floor is the ten elders of the two major associations, the second floor is the head of the main sect, the first floor is the head of the well-known sect, the middle of the atrium is the chief disciple of the sect and the senior elders, and the left and right sides are the disciples of the younger generation. β
Of course Jiang Yu didn't understand these rules, and they didn't talk about Xi Ling before, but now after listening to it, they feel quite normal, after all, traditional culture pays attention to the order of the young and the old, let alone such a big event.
"But Xiaoyou don't have to think about it, just sit in the atrium with the old way, this table is up to ten people, and the six of us will sit at one table, so that we will not have any scruples about eating and drinking. β
Jiang Yu felt that this proposal was very good, so he exchanged glances with Xi Ling and Xi Yao, and then nodded: "Then the junior is following behind the senior." β
The position of the rotten wood is in the center, and Qingyin and Qingyin can only sit on both sides according to their seniority, but this time, under Xi Yao's forced persuasion, they sat at the same table, and after waiting for a long time, people began to enter the atrium one after another, and everyone found a suitable position for themselves to sit down.
After waiting for a minute or two in succession, it was basically done, and the table banquet set up in the entire atrium was not full as Jiang Yu thought, but there was still something left.
When Jiang Yu was looking left and right, a woman dressed in a wrapping dress with plum blossoms embroidered on the right chest of the shirt walked up with two female disciples.
"Yo, isn't this Elder Rotten Wood, why are you sitting here? I don't mind if I share a table with you, do you?"
Before she finished speaking, the woman was already sitting on the left hand of the rotten wood, and her two apprentices were also sitting beside her generously.
"Mei... Mei Zhangjiao?" Rotten wood spoke in a pitted manner, looking a little surprised and overwhelmed.
"What kind of Mei Zhangjiao, more births? That's not what I called it when I was with the slave family before!"
Looking at the expression of the rotten wood, Jiang Yu was dumbfounded, obviously these two had an adulterous relationship.
"Ahem... These juniors are all here, and Mei Zhangjiao can't talk nonsense. β
"Hmph, I won't bother with you yet, but I heard that you have a connection with the Demon Sound Valley, and now it seems that it is true, but this one next to you is your apprentice?"
"This little friend is not my apprentice, this little friend is the fiancΓ© of Xiling girl, and this time he participated in the big competition as a guest of Moyin Valley. β
"Oh?" Mei Yingxue looked at Jiang Yu next to the rotten wood, but there was nothing else except that she looked younger, but it was because of this that Mei Yingxue was even more surprised.
"Junior Jiang Yu, I've seen Sister Mei. Jiang Yu's sister shouted Mei Yingxue with a smile on her face, obviously very useful.
"The boy's mouth is sweet, not like someone like an uncarnable rotten wood. β
Mei Yingxue's words made everyone cover their mouths and snicker, and the rotten wood Taoist people kept laughing awkwardly, and the old face didn't dare to look at Mei Yingxue next to her.
Between the laughter, an old man in a green shirt flew in from the inner courtyard of the small building and landed lightly on the roof of the third floor, so everyone's eyes were focused on him.
"This old man is still so fond of showmanship. Mei Yingxue said with some disdain.
"After all, as the head of the two major associations, how can you convince everyone if you don't have the ability?" Kuchiki sighed.
Jiang Yu's eyes flickered, he knew that the old man was definitely using light skills, and it was impossible for him to have that kind of ability.
The old man cleared his throat and said, "Welcome all the masters and young talents to participate in the annual Demon Martial Arts Competition, for the smooth progress of the competition, the old man will announce several key orders and rules. β
"The origin of the Demon Martial Arts Competition is given by the state, so everyone on the scene, including me, must abide by the laws formulated by the state, the country is now advocating the two-way development of science and technology and the potential of the people, so you must cherish the hard-won opportunity, don't feel that you have the ability to be lawless, the National Super Management Bureau and the two major associations will always be ready to sanction the evildoers. β
"The rules and regulations of the Demon Martial Arts Competition are placed under everyone's seat, so please read them carefully, don't make a mistake and be sanctioned before you wake up. β
"The most important point of the Demon Martial Arts Competition is that as a martial artist or capable person, he must not do things that endanger the country and ordinary people for his own selfishness, and violating this will be punished by all organizations. β
"The second point is that the Demon Martial Arts Competition is to discover new forces, and during this period, you must not waste people's talents and hurt people's lives, and if you violate it, you will be suppressed by the association and handed over to the Super Management Bureau for processing. β
"The third point is that the Demon Martial Arts Competition cannot use the next three indiscriminate means to achieve victory, such as poisoning, taking medicine, passing on the merits of the elders, etc., once discovered, it will deprive the sect and individuals of their lifelong right to participate in the competition. β
"Here I will mention the Five Poison Sect, the disciples of the Five Poison Sect are not allowed to use other poison assistants except for their own Five Poison Divine Skills, and they must pay attention to proportion, there have been cases of hurting people's lives, I will not mention it. β
"Finally, I would like to repeat that the Demon Martial Arts Competition is to discover new forces, not a life-and-death contest, so we must respect the lives of others, and you must read the instructions for yourself for the specific rules and systems. β
After the old man finished speaking, his body fell and his toes tapped the eaves of the roof on the second floor, and the whole person easily entered the living room on the third floor, raised the wine glass on the wine table and smiled at the people in the court: "Don't be greedy for wine during the big competition, the drinks served are all delicious fruit wine specially made by Yunwu Villa, and the old man wishes you all good luck." β
The fruit wine was drunk and officially announced the beginning of the reception feast.
