"Yes."

The words turned the room from turbulent to silent, except for the faint sound of footsteps and the sound of crutches falling to the ground.

The old man walked in slowly on crutches, his white hair was slow, and he was slightly carrying his back, but it made many people's faces show respect.

Including Zhuo Sanniang and Sheng Qianxun with angry faces.

"Hua Lao, I didn't expect you to come too." The jade bone fan was facing down, Sheng Qianxun clasped his hands into fists and said.

Hua Lao stopped, shook his hand and refused the support of the person next to him, he snorted lightly, and said: "Sheng family boy, you are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, but in the end, there are some skills, and the rules of the elderly have also let you turn it out." ”

"Is there really such a rule?"

"Can everyone compete?" Someone asked eagerly.

Immediately, someone sarcastically said: "Why, is it difficult that you still want to compare, and you don't want to think about who forged the weapons in the armory shop." ”

"That little girl can do it, why can't I?"

Also, if it were someone else, maybe there would be no ideas in the hearts of the people around her, but Jin Yun is different, she can tell her details at a glance.

Young, a civilian.

Even the coldness of his expression doesn't change these facts.

"Quiet down." Hua Lao raised his hand to signal, and he said: "Although there is, no one has tried it again in the past hundred years, and it has long been forgotten." ”

"Hua Lao, is that okay or not, and how to test the sword with a sword?" Someone grinded his hands, and decided in his heart that if it was a positive answer, he immediately took the sword over, although it was brushed down in the preliminary round, maybe he could win now, it was better than having a hope.

This man's thoughts are on the minds of many people, and there are also concerns among those who enter the semi-finals.

'Whew. The crutches fell to the ground heavily, and Hua Lao said dissatisfiedly: "What a fuss, you guys are really so easy?" What's the use of having to be so easy and have a rematch at the first round? ”

Yes, if you can really brush the people in the rematch again, then this event will be useless.

"Hua Lao, why don't you explain it to everyone."

"Yes, Hua Lao, my heart is itching when I say it, you can talk about it quickly."

Looking at the enthusiasm in everyone's eyes, Hua Lao's cloudy eyes glared fiercely at Sheng Qianxun, who was smiling and silent, and finally he said it.

It turns out that there is indeed such a provision in the hundred years.

Test the sword with a sword, as the name suggests, is that the two sides take their own weapons to test,

Within ten moves, which side's weapon is more seriously damaged and which side loses, the other side directly enters the semi-finals.

Of course, in this way, the rules will be directly disrupted, so if you want to challenge the rematch, you must meet several conditions. There are only three conditions, but there are not many people who are willing to challenge, so they will gradually forget in the passage of time.

The first is that those who have participated in the preliminary round cannot take on the challenge.

Second, you can't challenge without a guarantor.

The third and most difficult point is that if the person who proposes the challenge fails, he or she will be permanently disqualified from participating in the ceremony.

In the triennial ceremony, the characters who came out of the finals are all talents who are the first to be accepted by the dignitaries and nobles, and when these people are regarded as guests, they are a lifetime of glory and wealth.

If you really fail, you will never have a connection with glory and wealth.

The people who started shouting were silent, too, if this is really the case, instead of sacrificing so much in the town, it is better to fight again in three years, three years is not unbearable, and it is better to hone your skills again than to challenge.

Although there was no sound, he couldn't stand the strong thought of watching the excitement, and the clamoring person lowered his head and did not look at the ridicule of the people around him, and still stood there, dead and still.

Sure enough, Hua Lao spoke again: "So, Sheng boy, is it possible that you want to challenge?" That old man can give you a chance. ”

The jade bone fan shook gently, and Sheng Qianxun said: "Hua Lao, you are too high-valued, and you are just a businessman in the next district, how can you understand this." ”

Zhuo Sanniang stomped her feet, and she said viciously: "Then you are teasing me?" ”

Sheng Qianxun didn't reply in time, he looked at the little girl who had walked to the side and carefully observed the weapon, thought for a while, walked over, and didn't know what to say in Jin Yun's ear, which made her even more solemn.

"How, is it better than that? Although the guarantor is not good, Hua Lao is absolutely no problem. Sheng Qianxun said, not embarrassed to involve Hua Lao at all.

Hua Lao only shook his head after hearing this, he didn't stop it, and he didn't sneer because Jin Yun was a little girl, although the challenge paid a lot, but if it was his own decision, he would not persuade either, whether to do it or not, it was up to them to pay attention.

But no, a person walked out of the crowd at this time, he clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Hua Lao, Li Chenglin, wants to challenge." ”

"Oh?" Hua Lao knew that when he said this, although many people would retreat, there would definitely be people who would not give up and stand up, what he didn't expect was that this first person was not the Sheng family kid who raised the question.

He said, "You've figured it out. ”

Li Chenglin said: "Naturally, I didn't come to participate in the preliminary round due to trivial matters, and I already regret it, but now I have this opportunity, and I must try it." ”

Hua Lao stroked his beard, he closed his eyes, and said, "In that case, who do you want to challenge?" ”

Li Chenglin paused slightly, although he was apologetic, he still said: "Zhuo Sanniang." ”

That's right, Zhuo Sanniang.

Among all the people, let's not talk about others, only Zhuo Sanniang is a woman, in people's hearts, it is a joke that a woman can be cast into a weapon, not to mention entering the semi-finals, just as luck, among all the semi-finalists, people believe that Zhuo Sanniang is the last place.

When Sheng Qianxun belittled the long sword, many people were also unconvinced, after all, the long sword looked very gorgeous.

But when they knew that the long sword was actually forged by a woman, in their hearts, they completely changed.

As soon as Li Chenglin's words came out, many people regretted it at the same time, because of the strictness of the rules, they forgot for a while that there was a weak woman in the rematch, why didn't they think of it and stood up to challenge, maybe they were the one who won.

"Okay, I'll compare it with you." Zhuo Sanniang said, it's not that she doesn't know what other people think, and now she is more eager to prove herself, since there is a challenge, she will naturally fight, she believes that the long sword she forged is not ordinary.

Hua Lao opened his eyes, he looked at the two people he was going to challenge, and asked again: "Decided?" You know the rules, they won't be changed no matter what, but don't let the impulse ruin your life. ”

Hua Lao said it, but he actually didn't agree.

Zhuo Sanniang replied immediately, although her voice had the lightness of a woman, it was more firm.

On the contrary, Li Chenglin hesitated for a while before he said, "Old Hua, I naturally think clearly." ”

At this moment, a female voice came again, and the voice was both strong and soft.

Jin Yun said: "I also participate." (To be continued.) )
