Chapter Thirty-Eight: Civil and Military Fighting
A few miles away from the river, a horse-drawn carriage moved slowly, the horses pulling the cart were covered in snow-white without any variegation, and the hooves of the horses trampled leisurely over the dirt road, leaving a winding wheel print. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Just stop here."
A voice sounded in the car, and the round-faced young man pulling the cart immediately grabbed the reins in his hand and whispered through the golden flower silk curtain, "Senior brother, aren't we going to the appointment?" ”
"Go, why don't you go, it's just that I thought about it, Shaohe, you have also entered the realm of Dacheng now, and it is enough to compete with those people, so it is better for you to go for your brother."
Hearing this, the young man driving the car flashed with a flash of brilliance in his eyes, and his round face also showed surprise, "Senior brother, can you take it seriously?" ”
"Naturally, how could I lie to you? When you go this time, you should take the honor and disgrace of the teacher as your own responsibility, and you must not fall into the reputation of my Taoism. ”
As he spoke, he saw a bag flying out of the car, and the person in the car continued, "This is the 'Phantom Spirit Pill' refined by the ancestor, after taking it, your skill will improve a lot within a few hours, that is, you can reach the peak of Dacheng, or higher." ”
The round-faced young man took it with joy, "Thank you, senior brother, Shaohe will definitely live up to the mountain gate." ”
"Good, noon is coming, you better go quickly."
The round-faced young man saluted the carriage, then jumped up and walked quickly towards the river, naturally, while running, he did not forget to open the bag, took out a thumb-sized vermilion elixir, and swallowed it without hesitation. Suddenly, the robes on his body agitated, the soil under his feet flew inexplicably in all directions, and the round-faced young man let out a long howl and went forward again.
"Hehe, it's a pity, Mingzibai, I still want to compete with you, it seems that I can only wait for the next chance."
Inside the carriage, the young man in the purple jade crown with a purple jacquard said a word, and then a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "But next time, when you are in the dying struggle of Confucianism, you will be eliminated together, and that will be interesting." ”
As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes and said to himself, "Let's go." ”
As these two words were spoken, the white horse, who was looking down for the withered grass, shaved his front hooves, turned around, and walked towards the east.
By the river, a cup of tea was finally drunk, and the glass cup once again cut through the wind and frost, and landed on the wooden table, and Tan Zhiyuan, the elder of the Mo family, waved his sleeves, and he didn't know where he was received.
"It seems that those of us who miss the old are here, and I don't know how many people will set foot in this bitter cold realm in another twenty years, and remember the 'covenant of the sons' on the banks of the Lishui River?"
Shaking the paper fan, Tuoba Ye, the elder of the miscellaneous family, whispered softly, as if he had seen all the vicissitudes of the world, and there was a sense of loneliness and loneliness in his words.
With a flick of his right hand, he put away the paper fan, sighed, and Tuoba Ye said again, "Prosperity is annihilated, only this thousand miles of ice has not changed, and only it remembers how many years of heroes and heroes have been here, and it is also seen that the green silk is dyed with snow, and it is full of heroic ambition." ”
When these words were spoken, it was just that they were silent and bitter, Tian Yulun and the others all sighed secretly, the old scene is still the same, but the years are no longer there, and if the situation is not gone, who else can be here?
Maybe you'll be the next one to break your promise.
"Haha, you're a storyteller and you're starting to talk about the scriptures again? Heaven and earth, no one can escape a way to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, even if you and I have become a consummation of cultivation, we have probably lived for hundreds of years, this world, after all, it is their young man's. ”
Yan Haisheng, the elder of the Yin and Yang family, said with a smile, maybe he saw through the heavens, but he also looked at the words of emotion quite indifferently, as soon as he said this, Tuoba Ye's face changed, and he showed a smile, just like telling a story, his expression was changeable, and his feelings were born with the story.
"Old Ghost Yan is right, this hour is almost here, I don't think I can see anyone else, I'll start as agreed."
Tan Zhiyuan drank the last drop of tea in the cup in his hand, looked up at the sky, and said softly, as soon as the words came out, several eyes came towards Liu Hope, which made him a little overwhelmed. Along the way, Tian Yulun did not tell him the specific matters of the competition, and now, these masters looked at him, how could they not panic?
"The old rule, the sect that won last time is guarded, and the others take turns to challenge your soldiers, and the final winner wins."
Tan Zhiyuan said again, and Liu Xi finally knew why these people looked at him, because twenty years ago, the winner of the covenant of the sons was his uncle Liu Han, and the soldiers walked in the dust. Now that he is the new 'Broken Army' of the military family, he is naturally the one who guards the battle, accepting the wheel warfare-style challenges of other sects.
But if this is the case, the further back the better, the more advantageous it is, and it is very unfair to the defenders, but if you can't defeat the other factions by yourself, how can you convince the other party? Perhaps the sons of the various factions who were arrogant in their hearts had such an idea, so they had the current method of competition.
How the rules are set, Liu Xi doesn't need to care, he is now guarding, the five factions of Confucianism, Mo, Yin and Yang, Medicine, and Miscellaneous who come here, can be sure to defeat Ma Xiu and this little lady of the Mo family, the disciples of the Yin and Yang family and the doctor have not seen their skills, and they can't be sure, as for the name of Confucianism, Liu Xi has no confidence in his heart, so he can only take a gamble.
Just thinking about it, he saw a figure coming quickly, and the powerful momentum on his body spread out unabashedly, and it was actually above Dacheng. But after a moment's effort, he walked in front of everyone from a hundred feet away, standing on the side, with a cold color on his chubby face, and his eyes looked around, and then he hummed, "Taoist, Lu Shaohe." ”
This move was a bit rude, Tuoba Ye's face immediately turned cold, the covenant of the sons has been passed down for hundreds of years, although it is possible to break the covenant, or the Hongchen of the various factions can come alone, but they have never seen such a disciple with empty eyes, the miscellaneous family and Confucianism have been fighting for thousands of years because of the origin of the sect, and the name Zibai also bowed his head when he saw him, and the distinction of this Taoist disciple is clearly ignoring their predecessors.
"Alright, now that the hour has come, let's start the competition, but I have a proposal."
Before Tuoba Ye got angry, Tian Yulun opened his mouth to say this, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he said again, "We uphold the inheritance of various factions and come here to compete, but for hundreds of years, there are only martial arts to win or lose, but the stars are changing, this year is no longer thousands of years ago, when the princes and small countries stood on their own and the war was continuous, and the dust of each faction could not be used at will, and the behavior should be judged by the style of a gentleman." Therefore, I want to change this competition into a civil and military fight, my soldiers 'break the army' to defend, and those present can find one to fight in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, if they lose, then they will lose. ”
As soon as this sentence came out, Tuoba Ye smiled, shook the paper fan, and nodded his head again and again with his white beard, "Brother Hengping said what he thought in his heart, forty years ago, Tuoba Ye felt like this, but he never had a chance to change, and now it is finally my turn to be in charge, and the miscellaneous family is familiar with the scriptures and the way of the sages, which is very agreeable." ”
As he spoke, Tuoba Ye glanced at Bai Miao, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, compared to other schools, the miscellaneous family and Confucianism are in the same vein, but they were later divided into two branches, one branch is as high as the temple and the other is walking the streets and alleys to talk about storytelling.
Both factions regard themselves as their origins, so they have been fighting in secret for hundreds of years.
With a slight smile, Mingzi stroked the guqin in his arms with his white hand, "Confucianism has no objections. ”
"This method is really good, and my Yin and Yang family also thinks it is appropriate."
"Over the years, the people of the Mo family have only used axes and chisels in your eyes, and today the girl will show her hand, and the good people know that my Mo family is also a romantic gentleman."
Li Yunying's red lips curled slightly, and a touching smile emerged, "Since all the seniors think it is feasible, my doctor will naturally not object." ”
In the end, everyone looked at Lu Shaohe, a Taoist, although he was a junior and acted rudely, but after all, he represented Taoism, and when he came here to make an appointment, he had the right to speak out.
"You have the final say."
Lu Zihe hummed again, it seemed that he didn't care about the competition, and the victory was already in his hands.
"Good, then it's decided, Tian Peng, you go to the ice."
Tian Yulun said this, Liu Xi was stunned for a moment, raised his feet and walked forward, his brows furrowed slightly, thinking about why the Great Elder proposed to change the competition and let him be in a more disadvantageous situation?
When he walked past Mingzibai's side, he saw that he was lowering his head and caressing the body of the piano very carefully, and Liu Xi's heart suddenly had a little more understanding.
Standing on the ice, the cold air is surging everywhere, but Liu Xi does not have the slightest intention of coldness, the blood in his body is surging violently, and later, this will be his home field, and he will definitely not lose to anyone.
Thinking to himself, his fists clenched tightly.
"Hoo ......"
A mouthful of white mist spit out, Liu Xi transported out the 'Dragon Snake Nine Changes', and the image of the dragon immediately jumped out behind him, and the 'upper evil' with a hint of green also floated out of his body, floating with the tip of the sword pointing down in front of Liu Xi.
And when he made this move, Ma Xiu's body couldn't help but stiffen, and he took a step later, but it was in an unexpected direction.
"Miscellaneous Tuoba embroidery, please give me advice."
