Chapter 17: Dazai, My Stomach Hurts

Wang Wei struggled to stand up from the ground, the spear in his hand had been broken into two, and Wang Wei used the remaining half of the spear to pestle the ground, supporting himself from falling.

He was seriously injured, the right side of his body was burning and aching, several ribs were broken, his elegant clothes were also tattered, and his entire right arm seemed to be burned, with a pungent smell.

Several big people in the Shence Mansion under the corridor had pale faces, and it was not good news to see that one of the most potential figures in the Shence Mansion was defeated. With the important thing, the other party is likely to be a disciple of Taifu who has been away from Beijing for more than ten years. When Taifu was in the court, there was already friction between him and the Shence Mansion, not to mention that now his disciples are using Wang Wei as a stepping stone to step into the Eastern Capital. It is conceivable that tomorrow, the major mansions in the Eastern Capital will know about tonight's showdown.

Wang Wei was helped off the field for treatment, I'm afraid he won't be able to go down to the ground for ten days and a half months, and Li Fu's Qinglian Sword Duel is really powerful.

At sunset, according to the etiquette, the Lantern Festival will be tested before the end of the day, and the top three of the civil and military double tests will be announced. Now the results of the literary test are in the hands of Dazai-sama, and there are only eight people left in the martial arts test who have not yet decided the winner.

At this time, the ring has become weak after many duels, and it is impossible to continue the remaining duels, which is unexpected.

The students participating in this year's Lantern Festival martial arts test are too strong than in previous years, so that the ring prepared by the student supervisor cannot bear the next few duels at the beginning, and the student supervisor has not been able to prepare the second ring, and it is too late to build it in a short time.

"What now?"

The officials of the student prison are also in trouble at the moment, and there are still four duels left, but now they are facing the dilemma of having no venue available.

"Let's go to the front of the Taiji Palace." Under the corridor, Dazai-sama stood up and said lightly. Before leaving, his eyes swept over Li Fu with a hint of approval.

"This is about to open the Heavenly Pivot Platform!"

The officials of the student prison were stunned for a moment, and then understood what Dazai-sama meant.

The 'Tianshu' platform is a ring set up by the previous dynasty. Although the Tang Dynasty was founded by military force, the DPRK and China were generally divided into two groups, such as Confucianism and soldiers. Now that Confucianism is in power, Confucianism believes that after all, it is in front of the Taiji Palace, the core of the power of the Tang Dynasty. But since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has only been used once. It was opened when Taizong assessed the ranking of the gods, and then the ring was never opened again.

……………………

In front of the central square of the Taiji Temple, a granite circular ring sits in it. This is the ring set up by the previous dynasty for the triennial court test, since Gaozong, this ring has not been opened for many years, and someone in the later years of the Holy Empress proposed to dismantle the ring, but the Holy Empress at that time did not adopt it.

"Dazai-sama, this 'Tianshu' platform hasn't been used for hundreds of years, is it appropriate to open it rashly?"

The student supervisor on the side said.

"After Emperor Taizu moved into the Eastern Capital, he rebuilt the Daming Palace, and also said that he would demolish this ring. Later, Emperor Taizong once suggested, 'The previous dynasty set up this ring to select talented people from all over the world, and this ring has been placed in the old capital for nearly three hundred years, and has long become the spiritual pillar in the hearts of the world's warriors. If I dismantle Datang rashly, it will make the people feel that Datang is not as good as the previous dynasty. Emperor Taizu felt justified, so he didn't move. Then, Taizong succeeded to the throne, and it was also in this ring that eight divine generals were selected, and then the hearts of the remnants of the previous dynasty were subdued. Since then, my Tang Lantern Festival has been popular. If it is about specifications, the annual martial arts test should be held on this basis. ”

Dazai-sama stroked the cold granite with his hand and said slowly.

His voice was soft, but it reached the ears of everyone in the room.

Back then, Emperor Taizong did not dismantle this ring because of his intentions, but the emperors of the Tang Dynasty also allowed this century-old ring to be placed in front of the Taiji Palace, which was never demolished or used. It's like the ring doesn't exist.

Dazai ignored the feelings of everyone in front of the Taiji Palace, and with a wave of his hand, Long Wuwei behind him removed the fence in front of the ring and recreated the style of the beginning of the construction.

"This is to open the 'Tianshu' ring? This thing has been here for hundreds of years, can it still be used on stage? Yang Zixu watched the railings around the perimeter be removed and sneered.

"It can't be said that the 'Tianshu' stage can be regarded as the first ring of the Tang Dynasty, but it has been gradually forgotten by the world." Li Fu was interested in a lot of this granite ring in front of him.

The delicate patterns carved around the ring and the four spirit beasts have become more and more dim with the passage of time, but the general patterns can still be faintly recognized.

"There are eight people left, who do you think is more difficult among the remaining five?" Yang Zixu looked at Li Fu and asked.

"How do I know, it stands to reason that you are a local from the Eastern Capital, and you are embarrassed to ask me." Li Fu really wanted to pry Yang Zixu's head open and see what he was inside.

"The rest don't seem to be a threat to any of the three of us, but ....." Yang Ning wanted to speak and stopped.

Li Fu and Yang Zixu understood, and the remaining few duels were inevitably met between the three of them.

"So what now? I'm betting heavily on you to get into the top three, but don't run into me and Brother Yang in the first game! Yang Zixu's eyes rolled on Li Fu and Yang Ning, expecting that Li Fu would never run into himself and Yang Ning in the first two games.

"You can't beat him, can you? I'm not that sure....." Yang Ning smiled helplessly.

The heir of Taifu, Qi is something that ordinary scholars can easily defeat? Moreover, today's Taifu is a first-class master, and the strength of Emperor Wuhou and others is on par.

"Brother Yang, can't you beat him too?!" Yang Zi was startled, and looked at Li Fu as if he was looking at a rare treasure. This guy is too good at hiding his strength!

"His exercises are very special, the power of Taifu's Qinglian Sword Technique is not weaker than Emperor Wuhou's Wind Breaking Spear Technique, and he still has 'Mao Qing' in his hand." Yang Ning said with a smile, but he didn't seem to care much about the ranking of the first place.

"It's also ....." Yang Zixu looked at the "Mao Qing" sword in Li Fu's hand and nodded.

At the same time, the railings around the ring have also been cleared. Dazai-sama personally draws lots to determine the order, with the first place playing the last place, and so on, divided into four groups. And Yang Zixu unfortunately, he faced Li Fu.....

…………….

"What did Dazai do last night..... why did his hands stink so much.....ran into this guy......" Yang Zi clenched his teeth, very dissatisfied with this lottery.

"Li Fu, you are out of stock! The master is still counting on you to make money! ”

Li Fu is also very helpless, if he really fights, Yang Zixu is also very attentive to himself, and he can't do it. Don't fight, when it's over, that guy will definitely lose a lot of money and go out.

"What should I do?" Li Fu directly pushed this problem to Yang Zixu.

"You ask me? What can I do but lose? Either you lose money or you lose people....." Yang Zixu rolled his eyes and said helplessly.

"So are you going to lose money or are you going to lose?" Yang Ning is happy, some Yang Zixu is uncomfortable now, the old lady of the Yang family has already released the wind before the end of the year, if Yang Zixu can win the top three in this Lantern Festival test, the old lady Yang will not only enter Yang Zixu into Tiance Mansion as he wishes, but also transfer him to Tiance Army. If not, Yang Zixu had to honestly be admitted to Tiance from Shangling Yuan.

After struggling for a while, Yang Zi glanced at Li Fu viciously, but Li Fu was startled, and that look was no different from the vicious dog that bit him in Daoxiang Village when he was a child. Li Fu estimated that if Yang Ning hadn't been here, Yang Zixu would have been able to skin himself alive!

Yang Ning looked at Yang Zixu's expression and couldn't laugh or cry, this time he lost a lot.

"In the next game, Tianyu Divine General's Mansion - Yang Zixu will face Liangzhou - Li Fu." In the field, the Da Ru of the student supervisor reported the names of the students in the third round of the test, which were Li Fu and Yang Zixu.

"That ..... Dazai-sama..... I ate a bad stomach last night..... my stomach is uncomfortable....I give up....right"

Yang Zixu bent over, covered his stomach with his left hand, put his right hand on Li Fu's shoulder, and pinched Li Fu with his fingers covertly. There was an uncomfortable expression on his face, and his mouth was still howling.

Li Fu, who was standing on him, frowned, and the muscles on his face kept trembling.

Dazai turned his head to look at Li Fu and the others in confusion, but the small movement on Yang Zixu's right hand did not escape Dazai's eyes.

Dazai glanced at Yang Zixu weakly, sighed long, and said loudly: "This round Yang Zixu abstained, and Li Fusheng."

In front of the Tai Chi Palace, there was silence.

Moments later, there was an uproar in the crowd! Even though many of the people in the crowd were the children of the nobles of the Eastern Capital, there were still many people who scolded them, Yang Zixu was really bad! In order not to lose money, this guy actually pretended to be sick and abstained from voting at the Lantern Festival! Yang Ning looked at the living treasure in front of him and shook his head and smiled bitterly.
