Chapter 577: Scene 1
The martial arts competition is very simple, let the two participants face off, and whoever can stand on the field in the end will be the final martial champion.
There are a total of 1,361 participants this time, and after the first round of the competition, there will be about 340 people left, and the remaining hundreds of people will be assigned to a double-to-double duel, and the names of the duelists will be randomly selected in the wooden box, and then the remaining 170 people will enter a region called Spring and Autumn Land for a big melee, and those who can leave this mysterious region will be eligible to participate in the fourth round of finals, until the final list appears.
Wuju does not give anyone a chance to fail, every round is important, and the goal of most of the people present is not to win the first place, but to qualify for the fourth round of the finals, so that they will be respected by all parties as they are the ones who are still honorable despite defeat.
The first round of the duel is particularly important, as long as they can pass the first round, they will have the opportunity to have a one-on-one duel, as long as they win these two sets, they can fish in troubled waters in the big melee, there is a high chance of being able to mix in the big finals, all parties are proud of themselves in this martial arts arena, life and death are conceited, and often evolve into an extremely bloody scene,
Because of the large number of participants this time, it was divided into four venues at the same time, and the venue that Chu Xian summoned was Longhu Mountain, Zhang Huairou, and the three were from the Nine Lotus Sect, the Zhulu Sect, and the Heavenly Silkworm Sect.
This scene can also be regarded as an insight for Chu Xuan, this Wanfa Sect altar is a large array of talismans, which can withstand the various indiscriminate qi power of the participants, even if the thunder law split in Zhang Huairou's hand falls in the martial arts arena, the surging thunder electric machine will be as fleeting as a mud cow into the sea, and will not cause damage to the venue, in order to increase the excitement and rhythm of the martial arts, once the martial artist enters the duel, he must not interrupt the duel, and he can either admit defeat or die to determine the winner or loser.
Chu Xianzhao remembered that there had been a similar martial arts competition in Lin'an City, and the four people on the field were undoubtedly Zhang Huairou's strongest strength, and the three people who were repeatedly forced to retreat by his thunder and lightning reached a consensus and chose to join forces to besiege Zhang Huairou, and the scene was shocking for a while.
Soon, the thunder and lightning in Zhang Huairou's hand penetrated the bodies of the three like a wild python, and the screams of the three of them were endless, and they spat blood and retreated.
It wasn't until this moment that Chu Xuanzhao understood that the martial arts move was not a competition as he imagined, but a bloody competition full of pure violence.
Chu Xianzhao turned his head to look at Ziluo, who was pale, and planned to comfort her, Ziluo said to him worriedly: "In the martial arts move, the player who is paid special attention to will become the target of the other three to be eliminated, Tang Gongzi should be careful." ”
At this time, Ziluo was no longer the beautiful auctioneer with long sleeves and good dancing in the auction hall, once she was willing to remove the armor made of power and wealth in front of a man, she would inevitably reveal the delicate and weak state of a woman.
Chu Xianzhao said with a smile: "Don't worry, you must know that there are too many people who want to fish in troubled waters this martial arts, and the first round of the competition is like a sieve for gold panning, used to filter those muddy and rough stones, and the real competition is left in the next few rounds." If you want to fight with lions, you have to be a tiger and a black bear, unfortunately most of the people here are pheasants and earth dogs, two or three years of cat foot kung fu came here to show off their might, and they can only be beaten by others, as for me, for the sake of Sister Ziluo's dowry, how can I win the top of this martial arts!"
Ziluo was relieved, but it was inevitable that there was a sense of inexplicable loss in her heart.
In less than a short period of time, three people had fallen in front of Zhang Huairou, a high-ranking disciple of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, one of them was lying on the ground blackened, and the other two were looking at him dying, covered in blood, and there were traces of residual electricity surging on his body from time to time.
This round of competition was completely over, and the three were carried out of the field by the mountain Taoist priest and sent for treatment.
After Zhang Huairou bowed to the audience who cheered him loudly, he turned to leave, not looking at anyone the whole time.
Looking at Zhang Huairou, who was dressed in white, Chu Xianzhao inevitably flashed a trace of surprise in his heart, thinking that the temperament of the disciples taught by Longhu Mountain was really different.
This person should be the little heavenly master he met at the auction last time, and he also told himself in a heartfelt manner that if he is willing to come up to Longhu Mountain, Longhu Mountain will definitely come, and he always feels that there is something in this, and I hope that he will not run into him at that time.
"Dragon Tiger Mountain...... It turned out to be really so strong. Chu instantly looked at the departing white clothes and said with emotion.
It didn't take long for even the orange red to finish the competition, and this plump red carp-like woman seemed to have just gone in and shopped, and did not fight with anyone, and there was no trace of a fight on her body, so she came to Chu Xianzhao and sat down, looking at him with a smile on her face.
As for the opponents who fought against her, they naturally lost, and they were carried out straight.
Chu Xianzhao was surprised: "Orange Hong, you did it so quickly, is the opponent very weak?"
Orange raised the tip of her delicate nose and smiled: "It's not challenging, it's not even a warm-up." ”
As time goes by, a duel ends faster than a duel, and there is no shortage of various strong players who are one-on-three.
Chu instantly summoned those victorious, his expression gradually became solemn, in his opinion, these participants had many means, and the strength of most of them was not weak, so he had to admit that this martial arts move was a little tricky.
Orange Hong leaned into his ear and whispered: "Childe, the slave family secretly told you that the people who want to fight against Childe are all people from the Kui Yun Sect, and the slave family just went to help the son inquire about these three people, although I know that the son is very strong, but these three people may cause a lot of trouble to the childe, it is said that the Kui Yun Sect is good at joining forces to combine the qi machine attack, attacking the qi but not attacking the body, once it hits them, it will be sore and weak, so the son must keep an eye on the moment when they exert their strength." Although they can't defeat Childe, it is easy to force Childe out of the court, so Childe is careful. ”
Chu Xianzhao thought to himself, then my situation is very bad now, but now I can only fight.
The imperial examination requires thinking and writing, but the martial arts only need to use fists to speak, and the victory or defeat has always been only between a few moves, even if the realm strength of the two sides is quite close, it will not take too long to distinguish the winner and loser.
The Taoist priests who came to carry people came wave after wave, the cheers of the audience, the screams on the martial arts field, and the footsteps of the Taoist priests who came to "carry the corpse".
In these voices, the first round of the duel is going on quickly, and soon hundreds of people were carried out, how many people were unwilling to scream, in order to participate in this martial arts, those who were carried out Some people have been preparing for several years, but the gap in strength is by no means hard work or age can be made up, and the victory or defeat is naturally difficult to control in their own hands.
When he was pale and wanted to rush up to fight again, he was held by several Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain who walked out quickly, and Rao did not allow him to take another half step on the stage.
The contestant shouted angrily: "This is not fair, I can win him, let me go back!"
The judge standing on the high place said with an indifferent expression: "I have already made the rules of martial arts clear before, and those who are unable to fight again on the field and those who leave the field are losers, don't you understand?"
"It's not fair, I can obviously win against him, but I accidentally slipped, what about the appearance, I can continue to get up and win him, isn't martial arts to screen the strongest martial arts talents? How can there be such rules?" he pointed to the opponent who was silent in the audience and became more and more angry.
The judge's expression was still indifferent, and he said: "There is no absolute fairness in this world, but there are absolute rules. If you face those unstoppable Northern Iron Horsemen on the battlefield, and you accidentally slip, only to be trampled into flesh by their iron hooves, do you think this is an unfair and irreparable situation? Luck is also a part of strength, and those who survive on the battlefield are the strongest, luckier, and most cunning people. ”
As soon as these words came out, the continuous cheers of the audience were obviously muffled, and although they did not agree with this statement, they did not know how to refute it.
The person who left the scene could only reluctantly accept this fact, and left the Ten Thousand Law Sect Altar unwillingly.
"Please enter the Suzaku quickly!" said the judge, who had wasted no time.
Chu Xianzhao was stunned before he came back to his senses, and Orange Hong instructed: "Childe, don't give them any chance to attack, knock them down in an instant as fast as possible,"
Chu Xianzhao hummed and said to Orange Red and Ziluo, "Then I'll go." ”
Ziluo rubbed his eyebrows and said softly: "How can the son say such unlucky words, change it." ”
"Let's go. Chu Xianzhao patted her palm, "After I finish dealing with them, I'll take you to eat Luxi fish." ”
Just when Chu Xianzhao stood up, he didn't know that the focus of the conversation of the five or six characters sitting opposite had been transferred from this martial arts to him, including Li Pei, Murong Nuanyu, and Yang Tao, the prince of the Eastern Sui Dynasty, and Zhu Zhai, who had just had a short arm in his arm, including Zhou Xian, the son of the king of Dayue, were all the children of the most powerful princes and kings of the Daqing Dynasty.
Murong Nuanyu's eyes widened, looking at the young man who could only see the dazzling white hair but couldn't see his face clearly, and said, "Li Pei, see if he is the Tang Huang, even if the white hair turns to ashes, I can recognize it, it must be him." ”
"Eh, I didn't expect him to come to participate in the martial arts. Li Pei looked at it hard, but it was a little incredulous.
The Tang Huang in his impression was the most elegant man he had ever seen, the illegitimate son of the hugely rich Shen Sanqian, after hearing that Shen Sanqian was shipwrecked, now he is no longer the illegitimate son of the humble status, but the real head of the Shen family, not to mention the beautiful woman he met at the auction last time, sitting in the position where he left.
"Did you really see that bastard?" Zhu Zhai, who was called by the King of Zhejiang Han to make friends with the rest of the princes, looked suspiciously in the direction pointed by Murong Nuanyu.
When he saw the white-haired man who had broken his arm, he was so angry that his teeth itched, and he remembered that he had been deflated in his hand one after another, and finally he could only hold the hilt of the knife angrily.
"Ziluo, Li Pei and I have seen this woman twice, and I heard that she is the illegitimate daughter of the former emperor. ”
Murong Nuanyu's gaze soon stopped at Tang Huang, who had broken Zhu Zhai's arm, but was more interested in the illegitimate daughter of the former emperor who was not as beautiful as a mortal, and women were naturally hostile to women who were more beautiful than themselves.
Li Pei stroked his chin and admitted: "An illegitimate son with an illegitimate daughter is also a perfect match, if the two can become a pair, it can be regarded as a good story." ”
Zhu Zhai said in a deep voice: "In this way, this Tang Huang is really not simple, I am good at collecting intelligence, this woman named Ziluo is the illegitimate daughter of the first emperor, and most of her fame has spread to our Zhejiang and Han sides, not to mention how many children of the family in Luoyang dream of seeing her, this white-haired ghost has a big face." ”
Murong Nuanyu smiled and played: "Zhu Zhai, you won't also fall in love with her, will you?" I heard that your father has a meat forest wine pool that claims to be soaked in three thousand beauties, what a big stroke, so he is not afraid of being hollowed out by beauty?"
"That's because you haven't seen a good woman from Zhejiang and Han. Zhu Zhai rarely talked a lot, "Nanlu women have their own merits, such as Li Pei's Tang women, who are prevalent in red makeup but too plump, to put it ugly, she is a fat girl, it is difficult for Zhejiang and Han men to be pleasing to the eye, Li Pei, don't stare at me naked, don't think that looking at you Tang women think that after seeing the beauties of the whole world, there is a chance to go to Zhejiang and Han to have a look, this son will take you to see what is the beauty of thousands of beauties in the world with white skin like snow, I am afraid that you will be dazzled by the time, and you will be reluctant to return to Tang in Zhejiang and Han. ”
Li Pei scolded with a smile: "Zhu Zhai, you are really a toad yawning and a big breath, if you want to praise you as a Zhejiang and Han woman, don't belittle the women of our Tang Kingdom." ”
Zhu Zhai looked at him triumphantly and said, "If you are not convinced, there are also women from the Tang Kingdom and Zhejiang and Han in the Qinglou in Luoyang City, whether it is a donkey or a horse, let's take it out and slip away." ”
Murong Nuanyu said angrily: "You two stinky men continue to talk such useless nonsense, be careful that I kick you two down." ”
Perhaps it was because the two teenagers, Li Pei and Zhu Zhai, had no taboos when they spoke, and they also temporarily forgot the old grudges between Tang Guo and Zhehan, and the two of them practiced the closed-mouthed cicada with a heart.
"You see, he's going down to fight. Yang Tao, the prince of the Eastern Sui Dynasty, said suddenly.
At this time, a young man who was as white as frost had a smile on his face that was not majestic but by no means gentle, and strode up to the competition platform with his hands behind his back, he was wearing a green shirt and did not carry any weapons in his hands.
There was a shallow smile on the corner of Chu Xuanzhao's mouth, as if the victory was in hand, which made Zhu Zhai want to jump down with a knife now and fight him to the death, Li Pei and Murong Nuanyu looked at each other with complicated eyes.
Li Pei remembered his amazing behavior in the auction house, when Zhu Zhai was holding the fierce sword that was difficult to tame even himself, this guy broke Zhu Zhai's arm, took the fierce sword from his hand, and tamed the weapon in front of everyone.
At that time, his back when he carried the sword to the auction table was like an insurmountable mountain for Li Pei, and it was inevitable that he would have mixed feelings in his heart, of which awe and admiration accounted for a large part, he was different from Zhu Zhai, who had no one in his eyes, he had been good at observing words and emotions since he was a child, and he could see that this white-haired young man was by no means an ordinary thing in the pool.
Murong Nuanyu's eyes widened even more, this white-haired man brought her unpredictable surprises again and again, the first time she saw him defeat Zhu Zhai at the palace dinner, the second time she spent a lot of money at the auction, and this time she also deceived the illegitimate daughter of the former emperor, and stood up from her side in a grand manner, making Murong Nuanyu feel that once she threw away the disdainful identity of the illegitimate child, this handsome and feminine white-haired young man completely satisfied any fantasy that every girl had about men, and his temperament and strength were really strong.
"Damn, this bastard doesn't even have a weapon?" Zhu Zhai looked at him empty-handed, and rarely burst into a foul mouth.
"Anyway, there's another good show. Li Pei smiled.
Zhu Zhai's eyes are not the character given to him by his family identity, Li Pei's Taoguang Yanghui is also a special case, like them, the descendants of princes, are destined to face the danger of dying on the ground and the loneliness of being cold in high places, ordinary people will always have a bright future when they move forward steadily, but they will not, because they know how to use power to consolidate their current status, and slowly wait for whether there is a chance to go further.
Ziluo looked at Chu Xuanzhao who was walking towards the arena a little nervously, and sweat oozed from her clenched fists, making her unconsciously gather all her thoughts on him.
On her charming and moving face, her eyes flashed with brilliance, and this man really opened her eyes again and again.
"Shaojun deserves to be a young monarch, no wonder my father and ancestor respect him so much......" Orange Hongyu muttered as she held her cheeks in her hand and looked at the white-haired man who was suffering countless cheers with his empty hands.
Obviously, he didn't plan to bring weapons at all this time, whether it was nine out of ten, or no one in sight.
Chu Xianzhao stood on the competition platform with the ground blue, looking up at the audience who was surrounded by a circle, and the blue sky surrounded by the altar of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, and suddenly felt that it was a bit like a cage.
He looked at the three opponents standing not far away, they seemed to have reached an agreement and put on a siege-like formation, for him who had been besieged by thousands of troops, he did not have panicked eyes at all, but was thinking about what else to eat on Longhu Mountain in addition to Luxi fish?
He came back to his senses, looked at the three people opposite, and waved his hand at them.
"Big brother, do you know the origin of this white-headed boy?"
"I can't tell which sect he belongs to, he should be taking an unknown wild road, and he doesn't even bring a weapon, it's too arrogant. ”
"But we can be regarded as reaching a consensus, and it would be good to work together to solve this eye-catching bastard, and then divide the winner. ”
"That's it!" the three of them stared viciously at the unarmed Chu Xuanzhao, determined to besiege him.
