055 Gangnam
Of course, some people like it naturally, and some people hate it. Those fellow brothers who had looked at Ji Zheng unpleasantly before, were naturally very angry and jealous when they saw Ji Zheng win such glory. However, today, they are no longer Ji Zheng's opponents, so they can only make some small moves behind their backs.
When it came to the second time against Su Xiaoxiao's senior sister, it was the most exciting part of the third volume.
Senior Sister Su Xiaoxiao used a soft sword, and the sword moves were fluttering, and the sword was like electricity.
Whether it is cultivation or combat experience, Ji Zheng is far behind her.
Sure enough, as soon as the game began, Ji Zheng was forced to be powerless by the opponent's lightning-fast soft sword.
This is just the beginning, and when Su Xiaoxiao's senior sister used all her strength, Ji Zheng was forced to retreat constantly.
The opponent's sword was too fast, and in just thirty rounds, Ji Zheng was cut open by the opponent's soft sword, covered in blood.
By the time he hit the back, his whole body was covered with wounds, and the blood was flowing incessantly.
This is still the result of the mercy of the other party's subordinates, otherwise he would have been pierced a long time ago.
Seeing Ji Zheng's miserable situation, even his senior brother told him on the sidelines to admit defeat and stop fighting.
However, even so, Ji Zheng felt that he still had a chance to win for some reason. He didn't want to give up, he wanted to fight again.
He was stubborn by nature, so he still refused to admit defeat and continued to grit his teeth and compete.
Chi Fei spent a lot of pen and ink here to describe this tragic scene, and in order to increase the sense of the picture, he deliberately drew a sketch.
I saw a young man with only his back, standing in the open space half-bent over with his sword, looking like he was panting for breath.
His clothes were in tatters, and he could faintly see that they were wounds one after another.
At his feet, some liquid dripped from his body to the ground, forming small droplets, which were obviously blood from his body.
This painting made many people's hearts tuddle when they saw it.
This sketch Chi Fei himself also repainted several times before he expressed the sense of the picture that was scarred and covered in blood.
Since he spent too much time on this painting, Chi Fei only drew two sketches in this third volume, and did not draw enough three as usual.
Another characteristic of Chi Fei's paintings is that there is never a frontal portrait of a character, either the back or the side, in short, the specific facial features cannot be seen clearly.
Chi Fei feels that every reader has their own imagination and understanding of the characters in the book, so instead of drawing the appearance of the characters directly, it is better to only draw some outlines, and let the readers imagine the rest.
Just when Ji Zheng was about to lose the game, a burst of heat suddenly surged in his body, allowing him to quickly recover his strength.
He didn't know where this hot current came from, but he couldn't care so much anymore, and continued to fight with Su Xiaoxiao's senior sister.
This time, he changed his previous defensive posture and began to replace defense with offense, and engaged in fierce attacks with the opponent.
Senior Sister Su didn't expect that he still had the strength to fight, so the two sides fought again.
At this time, a miraculous situation appeared, whenever Ji Zheng was about to exhaust all his strength, his body would inexplicably produce a heat flow as before, allowing him to quickly recover his strength.
With this magical phenomenon and a ruthlessness that only attacks but cannot defend, Ji Zheng gradually reached a tie with Su Xiaoxiao's senior sister.
This surprised many people outside the stadium.
However, this is only the beginning, Ji Zheng seems not to be tired, and continues to engage in fierce confrontations with the other party.
After all, Senior Sister Su Xiaoxiao was not able to recover her physical strength as quickly as Ji Zheng, her physical fitness began to decline, and the speed of her sword shot slowed down significantly, and she gradually began to fall into disadvantage.
In the end, after hundreds of rounds between the two sides, Ji Zheng finally took advantage of a mistake caused by the opponent's lack of physical strength and successfully defeated the opponent.
When he won, the whole person fell to the ground at once. Only then did he realize that he was too tired to move.
But even so, he couldn't help but smile contentedly.
I won, I won!
He cried out in his heart.
At this point, the third volume is officially over.
When many readers see this, they have the urge to call out with the protagonist Ji Zheng.
It's not easy, it's really not easy.
Many people are emotional, and some readers with rich feelings even have wet eyes when they see it.
In the epilogue of the book, Chi Fei did not say anything about the scholars of the grass hall as he did in the second volume.
Because that person is already a water dog with a bad reputation, if he holds on to this matter again, it will only give people a feeling of unforgiveness. So he wittily did not mention it again, but thanked all the readers for the welcome as is customary, and the announcement that the fourth volume would be available at the same time next month.
After three consecutive volumes of "Xianxia", almost no one was willing to give up chasing this book, and they were all looking forward to the release of the fourth volume.
Almost at the same time, in the area of Suyuan Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, the first and second volumes of "Liang Zhu" and "Xianxia" introduced by Changqingfang, the largest bookstore in Fucheng, caused a sensation in the local dialect world as soon as they were listed.
Although the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty is in the north, if you really want to talk about the long history and the peak of the literary style, it is still dominated by the southern Jiangnan area.
In all dynasties, because there were often wars in the north, many literati moved to the south to avoid wars, especially in the south of the Yangtze River.
These generations or even more than a dozen generations have lived in, and gradually changed from northerners to southerners.
Due to the gathering of elites, the talents in the south of the Yangtze River are prosperous and the literary style is prosperous.
In each imperial examination of previous dynasties, the probability of winning the list in the southern test was much higher than that of the northern test, which also led to several shocking cases of fraud in the imperial examination.
As a matter of fact, many people know very well that these so-called cases of fraud in the imperial examinations are not really caused by officials who have deceived and fabricated tests to the south, but because most of the southern test takers did do better than the northern test takers, and the number of people who won the list was naturally much higher than that of the northern test takers.
In the end, in order to quell the riots, those in power could only dump the pot on a few examiners and settle the case with a fraud case.
In order to avoid the recurrence of similar disputes and to balance the number and power of officials in the north and the south, the imperial examination system of dividing the north and the south into separate lists was implemented from the previous dynasty, which alleviated the situation of-for-tat confrontation between the north and the south.
However, even so, the literati in the south of the Yangtze River generally have a natural sense of superiority over the literati in the north, feeling that the northerners are inferior to the southerners in reading.
This time, the first and second volumes of "Liang Zhu" and "Xianxia" purchased by Changqingfang from the capital made other bookstores in Su Yuanfu feel that this Changqingfang would not be a brain convulsion.
What is there to buy for a book written by a northerner? It's a joke to go all the way to do such a thankless job.
However, when "Liang Zhu" and "Xianxia" were officially listed in Su Yuanfu, everyone was soon dumbfounded.
These three books sold out in just half a month.
