Chapter 1: The Green Dragon and the White Tiger (1)

The carved wood is the head and tail, and the gold-plated eyes are silver-plated. Fenxun sweater swings his ears, like coming from quicksand.

The people in the square held their breath and stared, thousands of pairs of eyes intently watching the five-way lion dance in the ring.

Dozens of drums rang out in unison, green, red, yellow, white, black, and five-colored lions swam to the center from five directions, mighty and brave, frolicking and joyful, each with its own posture; Joy, anger, drunkenness, surprise, and movement, vivid. Playing benches, jumping plum blossoms, turning in the clouds, picking azure, stacking arhats, several ups and downs attracted enthusiastic applause from the audience.

The black layer was pressed low, and the wind and rain were coming, but it did not stop people's enthusiasm in the slightest.

Under the ring, the huge square was packed. The pennant fluttering on the sidelines, hanging full of cloth moves, the flag pattern is divided into green dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, Xuanwu, the demeanor is majestic and solemn, proud of the world. Zuo Shu "The World's First Martial Arts Conference", ink flying, majestic and powerful.

This is the final of the world's first martial arts competition.

There is a two-story stand in front of the ring, which stretches east and west, and paints dragons and phoenixes. On the south side of the ring hangs a huge bell with a bronze sheen. Next to Zhong Ding is the Langya list, with a red background and a book, a silkworm head and a swallowtail, which is majestic and strict. The four periphery of the square set up a high platform again, and the stands were crowded with people, and the spectators gathered, and the black and oppressive piece of hope was overwhelming.

On the stands, a row of red tents was erected, and a row of ministers and court officials dressed in court clothes sat on the side. The person in the middle is shining in a yellow robe, with a dragon shoe, graceful and luxurious, deep eyes, a smile at the corner of his mouth, a lazy expression but his eyes are hidden, and the aura of the overlord is hidden but not revealed, it is Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of Hongwu.

Yan Cigui sat behind the emperor, he raised his head to look at the sky and frowned, the sky was still clear just now, and it would already be a black cloud overpowering the city. The martial champion to be elected today will be a big man in the future.

In recent days, the emperor only recalled King Yan and King Ning from other places to Jinling, and many other princes remained in the vassals, and the crown prince Zhu Biao was weak and could not go out of the palace. The emperor brought King Yan and King Ning to watch the martial arts conference, and specially told them to be optimistic about each martial arts competition, and I don't know what instructions will be given in the future.

After the lions danced, there was a warm cheer in the square, and everyone was full of excitement on their faces.

A person slowly walked out of the ring, the man was nine feet long, dressed in a dark brocade robe, with a high nose and eagle eyes, and his momentum was extraordinary. This person went to that station, standing up to the sky, with extraordinary momentum and extremely mighty, it was Gao An, the champion of the previous martial arts.

This person is invincible all over the world, and has been the martial champion for five consecutive terms, serving as the imperial guard and the governor of the six gates, and his martial arts attainments are unfathomable.

Gao An glanced around the audience, and the people who made eye contact with him were silent. Gao An opened his mouth quietly, his voice was not high or high, he was full of energy, and it fell steadily into everyone's ears: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: I am a mighty group of hegemons, and I will succeed the kings of the Ming Dynasty." Kyushu heroes, martial arts from Rong, the whole world celebrates, there is a phoenix to come to the dynasty. Since the Song Dynasty, the suppression of martial arts and literature, and the weakness of the people's customs have led to the decline of the country's fortunes and the overthrow of barbarians. Fangjin Wuju Conference, once every three years, is unprecedented, with the intention of revitalizing the prestige of the dynasty and recruiting talents. I hope that Zhujie will go all out and come out on top. Chin this! ”

The black people in the square knelt down and chanted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live." ”

In the central stand, the emperor stood up, raised his hands to the sky, smiled and said leisurely: "Zhongqing is flat." ”

The emperor's voice was neither light nor heavy, not hurried or slow, as if chattering, but it sounded clearly in everyone's ears. His internal strength attainments are even more exquisite than Gao An on the stage, and he is worthy of being the Hongwu Emperor who has entered the realm of martial arts masters.

Thousands of people in the square talked about it and expressed their great admiration for the emperor of the current dynasty. Gao An's voice once again overwhelmed the audience, only to hear him say aloud:

"Since the pre-Qin period, the Central Plains martial arts have contended, and all kinds of profound martial arts have bloomed. We advocate martial arts and virtue, and practicing martial arts not only strengthens the body, but also protects the family and the country. ”

"The ancients were good at diligence and ridiculous, and there were clouds that were 'sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat'. In order to warn future generations and promote the heroes of the rivers and lakes, I made a pilgrimage to restore the grand event of the first dynasty's martial arts conference. Now, it's the sixth year. ”

"Ah...... This ......"

There was another commotion in the audience, and the six martial arts were calculated once every three years, and it has been 18 years since the founding of the country. The competition in each martial arts conference has become more and more fierce, but Wu Zhuangyuan is only the one on the stage.

Wu Zhuangyuan Gao An looked at everyone's reactions, and his face was as usual: "Today, after a hundred years of decline in the martial arts of the Central Plains, my dynasty has finally revived and prospered, far better than in the previous life. There are countless outstanding people in each school. In order to promote the backward and motivate the young children, after discussing with the civil and military ministers, the age of this martial arts conference is limited to the age of twenty-five, and the number of participants is no longer limited, so as not to have the regret of missing pearls in the sea. ”

"After many days of competition, this year's martial arts conference has selected four winners from hundreds of candidates to enter the final stage of the palace examination. Today's first battle is the White Tiger Group Xu Xi and the Qinglong Group Chen Yuan, and the second game of the Vermilion Bird Group Yu Ling against the Xuanwu Group Tianxi. The winners of these two games will advance to the next round of competition! ”

Yan Cigui raised his eyes and looked at the stage, his best friend Xu Xihe was one of the top four, and this time Xu Xihe was determined to win the martial champion. But his opponent is deeply hidden, and he can't see the way after many competitions, and his strength should not be underestimated.

Yesterday, Yan Cigui agreed with Xu Xihe that if Xu Xihe won the martial champion, Xu Xihe would invite Yan Ci to return to listen to the Xiangge Theater and live happily for three days.

On the surface, Yan Cigui congratulated Xu Xihe in advance on winning the title of Wu Zhuangyuan, but in private, Yan Cigui bet all his belongings in the Wangcai Gambling House and gambled on Xu Xihe's defeat. In this way, no matter whether Xu Xihe wins or loses, Yan Cigui can gain something.

Xu Xihe is holding a gun in one hand, and what Changying is heading for is the momentum of moving forward bravely. The cold moon in Chen Yuan's hand slowly rose, sharp and cold.

Suddenly, there was a light in the sky, and a bolt of lightning broke through the stratus clouds.

The cold moon sword flashed, and it was already bullying the opponent. Xu Xi and the tiger roared, and the fire dragon spear drew a straight red line in the air and headed towards the opponent.

Thunder came from the clouds, and the fire dragon spear collided with the cold moon knife!

The fire dragon spear came first, relying on the advantage of the long blade, fearless of the opponent's swift body and sharp knife skills. Chen Yuan swung away the blade of the fire dragon spear and slashed at the handle of the gun, but was blocked by the spear flower dancing from the fire dragon spear. Xu Xihe followed suit, retreated and advanced, blocking Chen Yuan from the range of the knife's attack.

Long weapons are for short blades, big circles are for small circles, and Xu Xihe, who has rich experience in foot combat, knows this well.

Even if Xu Xihe is defeated, Yan Cigui can still have the money to invite him to a drink of flower wine and chat to comfort him.

Is it your gambling money that matters, or is the fame of your good friend important?

Yan Cigui slapped the fan rhythmically, thinking in his heart that if Xu Xihe lost, his pocket money would at least double this month. Yan Cigui secretly prayed in his heart, Xu Xihe was better to lose.

As a friend and doing his part, Yan Cigui felt that he was really benevolent and full of sincerity. I am so proud of Xu Xi and a good friend like him.

The square was full of loud cheers, and the names of those who supported them were shouted from all corners. Gao An mentioned Zhongqi and suppressed everyone's voices again, and said sonorously: "In the first game, Xu Xi, the winner of the White Tiger, and Chen Yuan, the winner of the Blue Dragon, fought against the Qinglong. Players are invited to the stage. ”

The black clouds crushed the city and wanted to destroy it, and the armor light opened to the sun.

Xu Xihe carried a gun in one hand and jumped onto the stage like a tiger. The opponent at the other end, Chen Yuan, was dressed in black and walked quietly to the center of the ring, his whole person as sharp as his saber cold moon.

One is a major general of the god of war who opens and closes widely, and the other is a mysterious ranger who is as sharp as a knife. The performance of the two of them all the way is remarkable.

Yesterday, Xu Xihe and Lingyin Temple Tianren's hard battle was widely discussed, he resisted Tianren's lore and turned defeat into victory, which is a miracle, after this battle Xu Xihe has been recognized as a new generation of war god. And he was originally the son of General Xu Da, the god of war, and the voice was very high in the government and the opposition.

Chen Yuan also became famous in the first battle, and the swordsman Su Moqing was famous in the rivers and lakes, and was the most optimistic candidate for martial arts. However, such a famous sword master was defeated by Chen Yuan with one blow, and people could no longer ignore these dark horses.

In the previous martial arts conferences, Gao An overwhelmed the crowd, and the major factions in the rivers and lakes had no temper. In this year's martial arts conference, the players are young and vigorous, and their strength is equal, and each of them is a leader and rookie of the young generation. Those who walk out of this martial arts ring are likely to become important figures in the government and the opposition in the future.

There has never been a martial arts conference that has left everyone with such a huge suspense.

The audience was boiling. Wangcai Gambling House made a detailed introduction and analysis of the top four players on the sub-list of Langya sticks, among which only Xu Xihe has the most abundant information, including the date of birth, background, kung fu teacher, growth process, personal preferences, legends of the rivers and lakes, and even personality specialties, favorite food, favorite colors, girls who have been to Qinglou, hugged girls, etc., and many deeds have been blown into the sky, and even Xu Xi and himself do not remember.

And Chen Yuan had almost no information except for the date of his birth and the legend of his saber. Such a mysterious man, with a cold and handsome appearance, and what is more valuable is that he looks single, has no history of Qinglou, has no history of ruthlessness, and has a gorgeous and dazzling inner show but is low-key and unassuming, which has won the hearts of countless women. The romantic and talented Su Moqing had already stepped off the altar, and was replaced by this enigmatic Chen Yuan.

The audience was boiling and shouting, and the crowd cheered. Chen Yuan regarded it as nothing, and just quietly looked at his opponent Xu Xihe. And Xu Xihe saw that so many beauties in the audience were cheering for him, and he looked left and right to greet Qunfang with a smile.

In the central stand, as a friend of Xu Xihe, Yan Cigui stroked his forehead and sighed that he felt extremely embarrassed, the emperor came here to observe the martial arts competition, and Xu Xihe did not know how to restrain himself.

While!

The bells rang through the square. There was a faint thunder from the depths of the clouds, and it seemed that Jin Zhenwei was also screaming for this competition.

But Chen Yuan was too fast. Every shot was like a ghost, making it impossible for Xu Xihe to capture his traces and offensive trends. He could only swing the fire dragon spear impenetrable, and dance his wide open and closed marksmanship to the extreme. Although the fire dragon spear had the advantage of long blades, Chen Yuan's preemptive attack on Xu Xi and Yi attacked for defense, and the heavy fire dragon spear was wielded like this by him, which became a disadvantage, and it was extremely exhausting.

Chen Yuan failed to break through many times, and every time the sword and gun hit each other, there was a cracking sound, Chen Yuan only felt that the strength of the spear was vigorous, and he was in pain, although he felt that there was a gap to take advantage of, but he was swept away by the opponent's huge force. Although the Cold Moon Knife was extremely sharp, it could not cut close to Xu Xihe's defensive circle.

As soon as the scene began, the two of them had already passed dozens of moves with fast fighting. The audience outside the venue was dumbfounded.

Another bolt of lightning pierced the sky.

Chen Yuan suddenly stepped into the range of the knife circle's attack, Xu Xihe stepped back and wanted to withdraw from the knife circle, but Chen Yuan pursued him closely, not allowing him to dodge and withdraw. Xu Xihe took a few steps back, and Chen Yuan chased after him, and his knife was aggressive. Xu Xihe suddenly stopped castration and did not retreat but advanced, the fire dragon spear held the Cold Moon Knife, and looked at the air when his left palm condensed his true power and slapped it towards Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan also slapped back before he could think about it.

The palms meet each other, the internal force of one side is like a scorching fire, the other side is like cold snow and frost, and the internal force of both sides is a shock when they meet. Xu Xi and Nei Li came out wantonly, and Chen Yuan turned over and floated out of the distance with the power of his palm.

Lei Gong roared. The thunder went on and on.

The tentative battle between the two sides has ended, and the two ends of the separation face each other with vigilant expressions. The audience cheered one after another.

Xu Xi and secretly praised him and was even more shocked, this Chen Yuan was not only fast and sharp, but his internal strength did not seem to be weaker than him, and even compared with Lingyin's Tianren. The unfathomable man on the other side was probably the strongest opponent he had ever faced in his life.

Chen Yuan stared at the fire dragon spear cautiously and vigilantly. He has always been quick to decide, and all the opponents he encounters are determined within ten moves, and Xu Xihe in front of him is the only exception. Xu Xihe's strength is infinite, and his true strength is endless, and he can always keep him out of the circle. Chen Yuan is conceited that his martial arts in the world are only fast and unbreakable, is he not fast enough? Or is his knife not strong enough?

A longer bolt of lightning streaked through the clouds.
