Chapter 61: The Dueling Arena
There is a vacant lot about a mile west of the Yun Clan's Auction House, but a few people suddenly appeared in the sky and on the ground a few days ago, looking at the tools they are holding, they should all be craftsmen, and they can use so many craftsmen in Yunhua County, who else can it be if it is not Yunhua Yun's Clan?
"Are you building a house?" People passing by the clearing guessed in their hearts.
However, people only think casually in their hearts, and do not have much idea about the vacant land under construction, while outsiders are more concerned about the auction that will start in half a month.
The construction site is very fast, and as time goes by, everyone can see that this is not a house being built, but what is being done but cannot be seen.
Every day, many carts pull carts of stones into the construction site, and just by glimpsing them from a distance, you can feel the thickness and solidity of these stones, even powerful warriors cannot break them.
The craftsmen lay the stones on the ground flat, and the gaps between the stones are filled with cement.
Time passed, and there were still five days before the auction began, and the construction site was finally over, and the craftsmen who were working on the construction had packed up and left the construction site, and outsiders were finally able to see the extra buildings in the open space.
How to put it, in the eyes of outsiders, this building is very strange, and it is certainly not a house to live in.
The middle is paved with hard stone on the ground, and there are four stone walls with ten zhang long sides, which enclose the middle field into a square, but the stone wall is not completely blocked in the middle of the field, and there are two wide entrances and exits on both sides, and the height of the stone wall is not too high.
The surrounding area of the site is not empty, except for the south side, which is not arranged as the entrance and exit of the site, there are wooden high platforms on the east, west and north sides of the site.
Some tables and chairs were placed on the high platform on the east and west sides, which were supposed to be resting places, and on the high platform on the north side of the main seat there was an additional plaque that was hung high and covered with a red cloth.
Seeing this, people still don't understand the intention of Yunhua Yun's establishment of this venue, and they don't know what this venue is used for, like a theater, but it is very different from other theaters, which is really strange.
If someone takes off the red cloth on the plaque on the high platform at this time, it may solve the doubts in everyone's hearts, but this is the territory of the Yunhua Yun clan, even if it is a powerful warrior, they dare not brush the tiger's whiskers, only the Yunhua Yun clan will solve this mystery himself.
When the next day came, as the acting head of the Yunhua Yun family, Yun Yuankai did not go to the government to deal with the official affairs of Yunhua County, but instead walked towards the west side of the Yun Clan Auction House with some people.
Could it be that Yun Yuankai went to Yunhua Yun's newly built venue for unknown use?
Curious people followed Yun Yuankai and walked towards the newly built venue together.
Sure enough, Yun Yuankai was going to this newly built venue, and the lively crowd followed Yun Yuankai and his party into this venue, and Yun Yuankai walked onto the high platform on the north side of the venue.
People have a herd mentality, and the dense flow of people here attracts more people to come, and it didn't take long for more than half of the venue to be standing.
Standing on the high platform, Yun Yuankai looked at the crowd below, and his face looked very calm.
Feeling almost, Yun Yuankai took a few steps forward, and raised his voice gently, and the people below knew that Yun Yuankai was going to speak, and they all quickly quieted down.
Yun Yuankai first bowed his hand slightly to the people below, and then said loudly: "Everyone must be curious about what the venue here does, right?" ”
"yes, what's this for?"
"Don't sell it, sir."
Some martial artists shouted, Yun Yuankai didn't care about this, and continued: "The auction held by my Yunhua Yun Clan is about to start, and the treasures in the auction have attracted many outsiders to Yunhua City, and the number of martial artists among these outsiders accounts for a large part, so many martial artists gather together, it is inevitable that there will be fights.
However, in order to avoid affecting other people, Benjue ordered that warriors were not allowed to fight at will in the city, and those who were light would be expelled from Yunhua City, and those who were serious would be fined and imprisoned, and those who did not listen to dissuasion would be killed on the spot, but fights in the city still happened from time to time, so Benjue ordered people to establish this - the dueling arena. ”
As he spoke, Yun Yuankai waved his hand in the direction of the plaque, and his own subordinates dragged down the red cloth on the plaque, and the plaque was impressively written with the three big characters of "Duel Arena", if you are familiar with it, you can see that these three words were written by Yun Yi.
After Yun Yuankai said the words "dueling field", there were bursts of discussion in the audience, and obviously everyone in the audience also guessed something from the three words "dueling field".
"Since the fight cannot be completely prohibited, and the lord does not want the fight between the warriors to affect other people, so the lord ordered someone to build a dueling arena, if you want to fight, you can, as long as you come to the dueling arena and sign a life and death contract, you can fight here at will, even if it is a dead person, the murderer will not be punished in any way, but if you leave the dueling arena and fight, once you find it, you will be severely punished!" In the end, Yun Yuankai's face was extremely serious, and the coercion generated by being in the top position for a long time even made some weak martial artists dare not look at him.
After talking about the general matter of the dueling arena, Yun Yuankai left without looking back, there were still many things waiting for him to deal with, naturally there was not much time to stay here, and the affairs of the dueling arena were handled by others.
After Yun Yuankai left, the sound of discussion in the dueling arena suddenly rose, and some people shouted loudly.
"Jiang Ming, do you dare to walk with Lao Tzu in this duel arena." A strong man with a machete pointed at another martial artist with a relatively ordinary figure and shouted, this martial artist should be Jiang Ming in the mouth of the strong man.
The strong man's words made the eyes of the people around him shift their eyes one after another, look at the strong man, look at Jiang Ming, and there are even more coaxers.
"If it's a man, don't be cowardly."
"Go bro, buddy is optimistic about you."
In this way, it attracts more people's attention, and some people recognize these two protagonists, the strong man is called Li Hu, yesterday Li Hu and Jiang Ming accidentally touched on the street, and there was a conflict, but because the patrolling Yun Jiajun was there, the two did not fight directly, but first used words to provoke each other to shoot first, but in the end they did not fight, but the two were aroused by each other's words to arouse greater anger in their hearts, if they were not in Yunhua City, the two would definitely face each other with swords.
"If you go up, you will go up, who is afraid of whom." Jiang Ming is not a timid person, if he refuses Li Hu's challenge, he will definitely be looked down upon by others, his face will be gone, and he will be mixed with the rivers and lakes in the future.
The first duel in the dueling arena was set, Li Hu faced Jiang Ming, and the two first went to the high platform to sign the life and death contract, and then jumped directly from the high platform to the dueling arena, and the duel was about to begin.
Note 1: Yun Yuankai was awarded the title of second-class viscount by the emperor because of the "Yun's Salt Making Law".
