In the back garden of the early winter night, the depression and sparse rope were dark and silent, and a few night birds fluttered their wings and swept overhead, sounding a little clumsy and heavy that had been frozen, and their footsteps fell on the gravel road, and their voices were monotonous and cold.

Bypassing a rockery with the appearance of a beast, a little warm yellow light in the distant darkness was peaceful and comfortable, although the light flame was small, but it was extraordinarily solid, and it strongly dispelled the overwhelming black cold, and brightly imprinted into the pupils.

Step by step to the half-edge outside, but do not enter the door first, standing outside the plum blossom lattice glass window to look in, see a person and a bird are lying on the plum blossom table reading a book, with a cup of fragrant tea still steaming in hand, a plate of pine nuts, a plate of sugar-fried chestnuts, a plate of dried sweet potatoes, and a plate of orange petals, the sweet fragrance seems to have penetrated the glass, frozen into orange translucent sugar cubes by the cold air of the winter night outside.

Pushing the door in, the dry and warm heat of the charcoal was instantly enveloped, and the already stiff body suddenly became soft.

"What are you looking at?" he walked over and put the big gun on the back of his chair.

"Lingnan Strange Things," Yan Qi took a cup and poured tea for him, "Speaking of a kind of tree that blooms in winter, it is called the beauty tree, the purple pink petals and white core, when it blooms, the tree is gorgeous and dazzling, like a delicate beauty, especially good-looking, but unfortunately it can only grow in the southern region, and there is no such tree in the north." ”

"Hehe, even if she is a beauty, she is also a thorny beauty, there are barbs on the bark of the tree, and she can't get close to her body, and she can grow in the wild, but she can't grow it at home. What's in this box?" The topic changed as he spoke, pointing to the wooden box brought by Yan Qi on the table.

"An ornament in my study," Yan Qi opened the box, "Xiao Jiu said that it was the texture of the heavenly stone, and said that this thing is not easy to obtain, unless the emperor rewards it, so I brought it over and wanted to show it to the uncle, is this thing given to our family by the emperor?"

Yan Zike lowered his eyes and looked at the stone carving in the box, and said for a long time: "The emperor has not appreciated such a thing as our family. ”

"So, it's possible that this thing was brought from my mother's dowry?"

"Why do you want to ask about the origin of this thing?" Yan Zike raised his eyes and looked at Yan Qi's face.

"The reason why I used to eat and gain weight was because of this thing. "Yan Qidao.

Yan Zike's eyes sank, he reached out to pick up the stone carving, observed it carefully for a while, touched it inch by inch with his hand, put it under his nose and sniffed it for a long time, and even stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked it, it didn't seem to taste any strange taste, and then put it back in the box, and Yan Qi said: "The thing is here for the time being, I will find out the reason." ”

"Okay, don't put it outside the box, it's very powerful. "Yan Qidao.

"I see. ”

Not long after Yan Qi's front foot was half away from the half-edge house, Yan Zike's hind foot also went out of the back garden, not even a branch, no one did not make a lantern, just went to the front yard.

When I got up the next day, the weather was fine, but the wind was a little strong, and the charcoal burning in the house became more and more dry, so I had to put a pot of water in each room. Yan Qi went out for a run before dawn as usual, and then went back to the house for breakfast, after eating, he went back to the room to hold a spare book to read, ate a full meal at noon, covered a small thin quilt on the small kang near the window and slept a full nap, got up to freshen up and change clothes, curled his long hair into a scholar's bun, firmly fixed it with a tape, put on the uniform of the black background and red flame of the splendid comprehensive martial arts team, pedaled black boots, and carried a large backpack containing a cleanly washed armor on his back, and carried his own heavy bow with forty catties of tensile force, and stepped out of the yard unhurriedly.

Young Master Yan Jiu wore a fur collar, and the dark blue color made him look even more old, and he waited outside the door of the summer residence with his sleeves on, and he was still immobile in the cold wind.

"Don't go, it's so cold, it's windy. Yan Qi said to him.

"Worry less. Young Master Yan Jiu glanced at her slowly, "Sure enough, this outfit suits you." ”

…… Does this mean that she looks like a gentleman.

got into the carriage, ran all the way to the Splendid Academy, met with his teammates inside the gate, and then got on the horse and rode the car, and drove to the first round of the elite competition - Jiamu Academy.

The first game of the splendid is an away game, for the home team, the only advantage is that the fans of the team can have four-fifths of the seats on the spectator outside the stadium, and the away team and neutral spectators only account for one-fifth, which is really a bad environment for the away team, especially in an event like the elite game, the audience will only be more loyal to the home team, more enthusiastic and crazy about the game, and the team fighting away is really under pressure.

The members of the Splendid team could barely hear each other from the moment they stepped through the gates of Jiamu Academy—the noise and shouts on the other side of the martial arts arena were almost heard for miles, and this was already the momentum at this time, and you can imagine the situation during the competition later.

It was easy to break through the encirclement and enter the preparation hall on the sidelines under the boos and deliberate blockades of many Jiamu fans, and everyone in Splendid breathed a sigh of relief - it is difficult not to be nervous about such an occasion and environment, and the closer to the time to leave the game, the more restless they are.

"Relax," Wu Ting said, "You know, the opponent is also as nervous as us, and whoever can relax first at this time will have the upper hand." Who, Yuanyi, tell you a joke. ”

Xiao Chen: "...... No. ”

"Then, Haobai, you come and sing a song for everyone. Wu Ting said again.

"Get out. ”

"Xiao Qi is here. Wu Ting looked at Yan Qi.

Yan Qi: "I have a housekeeping skill. ”

"Oh, what skills?"

"Housekeeping. ”

"......, forget it, don't talk about it."

At the beginning of the Shen time, the door of the preparation hall was knocked open, and the referee who presided over the game, accompanied by the two deputy referees, sent the sand table of the game position, and then closed the door and left.

This sand table is the model of the game position after being scaled down n times, and the two sides only have two moments to study the game position and make corresponding tactical arrangements through this model, and when the players of Splendid saw this model, the whole exploded-

"-hell!"

"What the fuck is this?!"

"-Who came up with this position?!It's a beast!"

"Are all the people in the Comprehensive Martial Arts Association crazy!?"

"There's no way to fight this position!"

"!"

“sh☆t。 ”

A group of people stared at each other around the sand table, feeling that the level of ghost animals in this position had surpassed that of their sect leader.

On top of this model position, there are many wooden mechanisms like tank tracks, which are like conveyor belts, east and west, distributed horizontally and vertically over the entire field, and between these conveyor belts, there are pools, bunkers, mud pools, and shelter walls like labyrinth walls, all of which form a very chaotic playing field.

Attached to the model is a note stating that anyone who falls off the conveyor belt is counted as killed. That is to say, the entire game needs to be played on these conveyor belts, and the difficulty is definitely not ordinary!

"These wheel-like things are definitely going to move. "The team members began to study this positional model, because it is only a model, so the actual dynamic settings cannot be reflected in the model, and it is all based on guesswork and brain holes.

And if the mechanism in the position can really move, it is not controlled by the players of both sides, and the well-trained laborers assigned by the Comprehensive Martial Arts Association operate in the position of the corresponding connecting organ on the sidelines, these people cannot see the situation in the field, so there is no cheating and favoritism, which is completely random change for the two teams participating in the competition, and it is relatively fair.

"If these wheels really move, then be careful," Cui Xi laughs, "because it's likely that the direction they are turning is not always in the same direction, or not the same speed, and standing on them is not only to keep an eye on the opponent, but also to pay attention to the changes under your feet." ”

"This is a test of dual-purpose and adaptability," Wu said. It is recommended that you try not to stay on the same wheel at the same time, so as not to involve others with a misstep, but also not too far apart, you can also save each other at a critical time, this mechanism is almost impossible for the horse to take an inch, which is tantamount to directly cutting off our two attack points, but the other party is the same, the opponent's horse is also equivalent to being abolished, if we can find a way to let the horse participate in the formation, we can have an advantage over the opponent by two more attack points. Is there anything you can do?" asked Cui Xi.

Cui Xi said: " Only the two runners closest to the entrance can be destroyed, as long as the thicker iron rod is inserted into two gears in front of and after each section of the runner engages with each other, you can force the runner to stop, but we can't use this method to force all the runners, after all, in the case of not predicting this position situation in advance, we didn't bring so many iron rods, each of the five soldiers brought one, a total of only five, and the other tools are not very used, either too thin or too soft, and the number of wheels in the position is too much, the weight of our five soldiers can not meet such a requirement, so the easiest way is to force the stop close to the entrance, two wheels with good vision, and then two horses choose to use arrows as weapons for long-range attacks, the disadvantage is that each person only has ten arrows, once the shot is finished, the two horses are equivalent to being abolished. ”

"That's better than a spear or a spear, once a horse is trapped on that wheel, there is no difference between using a weapon like a spear and being scrapped, at least you can attack ten times with an arrow, I think you can use an arrow." Ma Yi agreed with Cui Xi's words.

"It's okay," Wu Ting said, "the five soldiers can properly help the horse pick up some arrows that have been shot during the attack. The others are still attacking as usual, we don't know much about the team of Jiamu Academy, and it is the best countermeasure to respond to all changes without changing, and now we don't have to compete for the Fu Shuai seal, our only goal is to kill all the opponents, so don't be anxious, don't be in a hurry, fight steadily, break through, give full play to your best state, and victory belongs to the patient team. - It's almost time, guys, are you ready?"

"Ready!" shouted in unison.

"Okay, let's go. ”

Everyone dressed up, put their weapons on their backs, followed their captain, pushed open the door of the preparation hall, and strode towards their battlefield in the overwhelming noise. 166 Reading Network
