Chapter 27: Martial Arts Conference (7)
"Master, he has already reached the finals, should you just let him go? Was the disciple's leg broken in vain? ”
In a gloomy room, Zhang Qinghu stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes, his face full of anger, and he slammed his fist against the wall, and the mud and sand on the wall fell in a torrent.
Not far from his bed, Wu Miaozhen looked at Zhang Qinghu expressionlessly, the apprentice in front of him who had great hopes was completely wasted, Zhang Qinghu's hoarse ugliness even made him a little bored, but he repeatedly asked him if he could win, he swore to promise himself, but in the end, he made himself lose face, and also affected his status in the Zixiao system.
"Okay, don't care about what others do, think about what you will do in the future!" Wu Miaozhen interrupted him coldly.
A trace of fear suddenly flashed in Zhang Qinghu's eyes, "Master, what do you mean by this?" ”
"You know the rules of Xuanhu Palace, don't raise useless people, I told Chihong, when you heal your leg injury, he will send you home."
"Xuanhu Palace can't drive me away like this!"
Zhang Qinghu grabbed Wu Miaozhen's hand and begged: "The apprentice is useful, the apprentice can cook, chop wood, and serve your old man, Master, please, leave me!" ”
Wu Miaozhen broke free of his hand in annoyance and took two steps back, "This matter has been decided, I will send you home in a month." ”
"Master, you took the silver from me and Wei Qingping!"
Zhang Qinghu suddenly shouted: "If you give up on me, I will tell the Lord of the Deer Palace about this!" ”
Wu Miaozhen froze suddenly, a trace of murderous intent quickly flashed in his eyes, he snorted coldly, and left quickly.
"Master, I was wrong, please don't drive me down the mountain!" Zhang Qinghu's crying and pleading voice came from the room.
Wu Miaozhen returned to his room, he was really a little upset, he didn't expect Zhang Qinghu to dare to threaten himself with the matter of collecting money, this matter violated the forbidden law of Zixiao Heavenly Palace, although it was only a few dozen taels of silver, but if he was caught by Lu Li Lao Zamao, he would definitely use this excuse to drive himself back to Zixiao Heavenly Palace.
"Zhang Qinghu, it's you who are looking for death, then don't blame me for not being merciful!" Wu Miaozhen slammed his fist on the table, and the killing plan was already set in his heart.
..........
After the preliminary and semi-finals of the three-day martial arts tournament, there will be a full day of rest, and then the final battle will be held in the Sky Heavenly Palace.
Early in the morning, Guo Song carried an eighty-pound sandbag on his back and climbed quickly on the cliff, he only upgraded from a sixty-pound sandbag to eighty pounds in the past few days, although it was only twenty pounds more, but the pressure was more than doubled, which made him a little struggling.
But Guo Song doesn't plan to lose weight, this is a process of slow adaptation, as long as he survives three days, eighty pounds of sandbags will be a dish of hors d'oeuvres for him.
Guo Song climbed to the top of the cliff and jumped up gently, but saw the third senior brother Gan Lei sitting cross-legged not far away, looking at him with a smile, and Xiaoying standing on a big tree behind Gan Lei, staring sharply at his back.
"Senior brother, what's the good thing about smiling so happily?" Guo Song asked with a smile.
"It's a good thing!"
Gan Lei got up and patted his buttocks, stepped forward and whispered in Guo Song's ear: "I just heard the news that your enemy Zhang Qinghu is dead." ”
"I'm not surprised that he offended too many people." Guo Song threw four more sandbags off the cliff.
"Not killed by someone else, but by suicide, as if piercing one's own chest with a dagger in bed."
Guo Song's footsteps stopped, he tilted his head and thought for a while: "He likes to bully the weak, but he himself is most afraid of death, and it is impossible to commit suicide, someone should have killed him and disguised himself as suicide." ”
"The problem is not here, but the entire Zixiao system hates you to the core, thinking that you killed Zhang Qinghu."
"Whatever they are, I don't care!"
Guo Song jumped off the cliff as soon as he jumped over, "Damn, I haven't finished talking yet!" Gan Lei leaned on the edge of the cliff and shouted, "Guess how I know? ”
"Be careful that Lei Lingzi is desperate for you!" Guo Song's response was heard in the clouds and mist under the cliff, and the eaglet also rushed down, and soon broke through the sky from the clouds and mist, spreading its wings and soaring in the sky.
Gan Lei has completely ignored Xiaoying, his godson, his whole mind is on his own life events, he suddenly laughed proudly, "Fat master, my life's major events have been decided, I'm not afraid of him." ”
He suddenly frowned, and said to himself, "It's a little strange, this Lei Lingzi actually didn't complain, and it seems that he hasn't been seen in the past two days, what is he doing?" ’
Gan Lei suddenly had a sense of crisis in his heart, Lei Lingzi was a ruthless person, how could he give up Wen Yu to himself, he must be practicing his sword hard, preparing to enter the top three, and openly marry Wen Yu.
Thinking of this, Gan Lei's mood suddenly turned bad, no! What must I think of?
…………
Of the eighty Taoist priests who entered the finals of the Zixiao Heavenly Palace Martial Arts Association, only four of them were from the Wild Dao, and the other seventy-six were all masters of the Zixiao Department.
In fact, it is also reasonable, after Li Longji, who believes in Taoism, succeeded in seizing the throne, the resources obtained by Zixiao Heavenly Palace from the imperial court have greatly increased, which in turn has attracted more outstanding talents to come to Kongtong Mountain, and even many outstanding children of wealthy families have come to Zixiao Heavenly Palace to become monks and pray for the family, so that the Zixiao Department has produced many talents over the years.
On the contrary, the resources and outstanding talents of the imperial court have never had a chance with the wild way, and the wild Taoist temple must first strive for survival, and martial arts training is secondary.
This year, it is normal for the Martial Dao to have the Zixiao system overwhelming the Wild Dao strongly.
In addition to Guo Song and his senior brother Gan Lei, the four Yedao who entered the finals also included Zhang Mingchun of Jingle Palace and Yang Xuanqing of Bullfighting Palace.
And Guo Song is the only young Taoist priest among the four, but after entering the finals, it is not divided into years and teenagers, and eighty people draw lots to determine the opponent, and all kinds of behaviors are basically fairer.
After all, the finals are more of a competition within the Zixiao system to a certain extent, which is related to various vital interests, and only a fair game can suppress the dissatisfaction from all sides.
Before dawn, Mu Zhenren took Gan Lei and Guo Song to the gate of Zixiao Heavenly Palace, which was already crowded with hundreds of wild roads, seeing the arrival of Mu Zhenren's master and apprentice, the Taoist priests got out of the way, and looked at the three masters and apprentices with envy.
This time, the Qingxu Guan, which has always been unknown, shined, and two apprentices actually reached the finals, which is really impressive.
In addition, Jingle Palace, which is also in Xiangshan, also has a disciple who reached the finals, and many large-scale wild Taoist temples are considering whether they should find a feng shui treasure in Xiangshan and build a branch courtyard.
Mu Zhenren smiled and saluted all the Taoist friends, and then took the two apprentices directly into the Zixiao Heavenly Palace.
Guo Song saw that the little eagle was still parked on the eaves of the Heavenly Palace, and secretly laughed in his heart, the little eagle was already a frequent visitor to the Zixiao Heavenly Palace, but it was the first time he entered the Zixiao Heavenly Palace.
However, the magnificence of Zixiao Heavenly Palace made him wonder if he had made a mistake, where was the Taoist temple practiced by monks, it was clearly a golden palace.
Even the bricks on the floor are the high-quality gold bricks specially fired by the imperial kiln, with exquisite patterns such as unicorns, tigers and leopards, phoenixes, peonies, etc., and are surrounded by all kinds of precious flowers and trees, even Guo Song, who forages in the mountains and fields every day, cannot call their names.
As for the various palace houses are painted with gold powder, they are either magnificent or exquisite, compared with a few dilapidated houses in the pure void, it is simply a world of difference.
Even the Xuanhu Palace, which had amazed Guo Song before, would be overshadowed in front of Zixiao Heavenly Palace, and it was too far behind.
"Senior brother, how does it feel here?" Gan Lei asked with a low chuckle.
Guo Song shook his head, "I doubt that the emperor is planning to become a monk here?" ”
"How can it! The emperor eats and drinks spicy food all day long, and there are a lot of ladies, how can he give up his home? However, it is said that there are Taoist priests in Zixiao Heavenly Palace who have been to the palace and come back and say that the palace is a hundred times more spectacular than here. ”
Guo Song suddenly thought that the master hadn't grown up in the palace since he was a child? He hurriedly asked, "Master, is the palace really a hundred times more magnificent than here?" ”
Mu Zhen looked at the Heavenly Hall in front of him, shook his head and said, "Of course, this place is far worse than the Imperial Palace, but that Heavenly Hall is really exactly the same as the Lin De Palace. ”
Speaking of this, he sighed slightly, "It's too extravagant, a Dao palace is so extravagant, how can the Tang Dynasty not turn from prosperity to decline?" ”
At this time, a young Taoist priest came to salute and said, "May I ask if the three are the Taoist masters of the Pure Void Vision?" ”
"We are!"
"Bai Yun Zhenren asked Xiaodao to invite the three of them to draw lots, and they are in the Laojun Palace!"
Mu Zhenren nodded, "I know, you lead the way in front!" ”
The group bypassed the Heavenly Temple and went to the Laojun Hall behind the Heavenly Temple, and the lottery ceremony was about to begin.
