Chapter 12: When You Are Trampled
Sometimes if you don't work hard, you won't know what hopelessness is, what is unattainable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I thought I had been holding the sword for a month and I wasn't going to lose so badly, but that's how it turned out.
I still remember that morning, I went out of the cottage with my sword. Before leaving, I asked Master what he wanted of me, and Master replied, "Just don't be too bad." ”
"Master, is that all you ask of me?"
"What's wrong? Is it low? But I think it's already very high. Master replied nonchalantly, and he looked at me with a strange smile in his eyes.
"Master, I think I can take the first hundred." I confidently said that I was humble at the time, and I thought I could finish in the top ten. After all, there has been no one who has worked as hard as me in the past month.
"Really? I don't need your first hundred, I am already satisfied if you can take the first thousand. You can even be trampled underfoot, but you can't say my name. ”
"Master, I don't know your name." I said, Master only asked me to call him Master from the beginning.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Forget it, I'll tell you when I have time. Life can't be smooth sailing, you're not the legendary powerhouse in that novel, and it doesn't matter if you lose this time. Master said with satisfaction, and waved his hand to let me go.
This competition actually has its own name: Autumn Trial, which refers to the first event held by our group of people who have just come to the Momoyama Sword Sect, in order to see which of our people are worthy of special training. Because there are so many people, everyone only needs to lose once to be considered defeated.
Such a rule is naturally not reasonable at all, for example, the second place and the first place fight, and then the second place loses, but he can't compare, who knows that he is the second?
This was my initial thought, and I later learned that in order to avoid these situations, the elders of the Peach Mountain Sword Sect would arrange some particularly excellent people in advance. In group battles, each group has only one recognized winner, and then the group draws lots to fight, so as to avoid the winners from killing each other, thus increasing the chances of the best and the visibility of the competition.
This is the autumn test, and the autumn test is born and ranked. The autumn rankings are actually based on our performance, and the elders will watch our competition on the sidelines in order to decide whether there is potential for development between us.
In fact, who doesn't have such a thing as development potential, it just depends on whether others are willing to explore it.
Not to mention this, when I walked to the autumn test ring, it was already crowded, and a senior sister sent me a sign, and I took it. By the way, what does this senior sister look like...... It's kind of ugly.
I glanced at the sign I was holding with the word "one" written on it, and knew I was going to be in the first group.
After I got one, I went to the draw of the first group. In fact, half of the people don't need to draw lots, of course, the half of the rich children, they learned swords earlier than us, and their strength is definitely above us. For the rest, we will look at our luck, and if you are lucky, you may not be able to meet a counterattack with similar strength, and if you are unlucky, you will admit it directly.
I reached into the box where I had drawn lots, and by the way, stood aside with my hands crossed and looked at my senior sister who was much more beautiful than the one in front of me.
When there was just a little light in my world, I took out the sign I had drawn and looked at it, and I felt like the whole world was quiet and plunged into endless darkness.
I really didn't expect my first fight to be so simple and straightforward, and so cruel.
Xu Ao, the note I drew had these two words written on it.
I almost looked up to the sky and screamed: Joke about yarn? Isn't it true that novels should start with simplicity first? Just let me fight someone so strong that it will kill people. Although this Xu Ao is a little arrogant, no matter how you look at it, he is a master!
Maybe Master is really right, my life is not a novel, I really don't need to lose too badly and humiliating this time.
Moreover, according to Xu Ao's strength, he must be the first to appear. No way! Why is this so much like the coincidence in the story? I really had to be the first to play against Xu Ao and be the first person to lose today.
Should I post some emotion? No, I'd better save the emotion for later. All I think about now is whether I can not be too ugly when I lose, or even if it is ugly, can I not be seen by An Luojun.
While I was thinking about it, Tao Jiang was already sitting on the high platform facing the ring with all the elders. The oily law enforcement elder also stepped into the ring step by step. At this time, I could see An Luojun standing at the front of the crowd with her little maid, and everything that happened in the ring could be seen clearly, unreasonable! Why do all unfortunate things like to happen at the same time?
The ring at the feet of the law enforcement elder was made of gray-brown stones, and I don't know when it was built, and I knew that there was some sun when I looked at the dense sword marks on it. But that's not the point, the height of the ring is exactly the best angle to watch, and if you lose face on it, any expression will be seen clearly.
The chubby law enforcement elder had already arrived in the middle of the peach blossom altar. He took out a piece of paper, densely packed with the names of many people, and then read the first name: "Lonely Guest." ”
What's the solution? You can't run away, can you? I walked into the ring with the sword that Master had given me.
There was no sound down there, and no one knew who this idiot was.
"Fight, Xu Ao."
As soon as the law enforcement elder's voice fell, there was a burst of jubilation, and in the cheers of everyone, Xu Ao pretended to be calm and walked slowly onto the stage, it was too fake at first glance.
"Ready." When the law enforcement elder saw that everyone was coming, he directly announced the start of the battle.
I saluted Xu Ao, and the guy's arrogant expression was so bad that he didn't even salute me, which was against the rules.
"Xu Ao, why don't you salute?" The law enforcement elder asked, slightly dissatisfied in his words.
Xu Ao: "I said Elder, there are so many people in this place, don't waste your time." ”
"Huh!" The law enforcement elder sneered, and the dissatisfaction began to contain murderous intent: "Master asked you to salute immediately." ”
Xu Ao was probably driven crazy, and he had to shout in the ring despite the fact that he was still in the ring: "Do you ****** know who I am?" ”
The law enforcement elder's right hand was placed on the saber on his waist, and this time the killing intent made Tao Jiang stand up directly: "Master doesn't want to say next time, immediately salute Ye." I know who you are, but if you don't salute right away, you will know who you are. After that, the sword was already three inches out of its sheath, and the white swaying blade was simply terrifying.
It was Momoyama's law enforcement sword, and I don't know how many Momoyama disciples I had killed. As soon as such a sword is revealed, even a Momoyama disciple will feel fear from the bottom of his heart.
Xu Ao looked around at the people who had been quiet with dissatisfaction, and had no choice but to salute me. It was not at all what it should be, lazy and arrogant.
But it was a salute, and the game officially began.
Xu Ao estimated that he had accumulated a lot of anger in the matter of the law enforcement elder, and he immediately had a place to spread fire when he had just accumulated fire.
This is a game that will not be stopped as long as you don't kill people and don't fight too hard.
After Xu Ao finished saluting, he looked at the corner of my mouth with a beastly smile, it was a smile with anger, and the violent aura was almost overflowing.
"Kill!" Xu Ao roared, pulled out his sword and aimed it at me and slashed it directly.
"Ahh I thought that I would have to yell and rush over in such a situation, but I didn't know what to shout, so I simply shouted an ah.
Xu Ao and I rushed towards each other like two gusts of wind, and then collided with our swords!
Bang!
At the moment of collision, I felt a majestic force coming from my hand, and this force came so quickly that I was unprepared. Is this the power of a real duel?
Before I could be shocked, the sword in my hand was knocked out by Xu Ao. Then, before I could stand firmly, Xu Ao rushed over with another punch. I fell to the ground in an instant, blood gushing out of my nose, and my body fell to the cold ring.
Master said, "If you fall down, you have to stand up, you don't need any reason, if you really need any reason, it's that it's cold underground." ”
But as I struggled to get up, I felt a force pressing down. It should be Xu Ao's foot on my back.
"Hahahahaha......haha
There was a round of laughter around me, and my proud pride suddenly became nowhere to put it. I was embarrassed, my face was hot, and my vest was sweating from nervousness.
I'm a very shy person, and I blush even when I am praised in public, let alone insulted in public. I didn't see myself humiliated, but I could imagine it.
I remember all too well what it was like to be trampled under the feet of someone I hated in front of so many people and the people I liked, no matter how long it had been.
"It's not that his sword is unstable, it's that my sword is too strong, do you know how I did it?" That bastard is slamming out on my back.
"I don't know!" There were a few young men with thin eyebrows and soft waists who asked adoringly.
"I swung my sword a thousand times a day, and it took me ten years to make a difference." Xu Ao said generously.
I didn't expect that in the first disciple test a month after I entered the Taoshan Sword Sect, I fell at Xu Ao's feet.
Everyone present was listening, Xu Ao spoke impassionedly, and no one noticed what the person at his feet was feeling.
And at that moment, when I was really trampled under Xu Ao's feet, I only felt that the heavens and the earth were spinning, and the coldness of the ring was clearly transmitted into my body. I saw a lot of people there, some laughing, some ...... Still laughing. No one sympathized with me. I suddenly understood that the dignity of the weak was never taken seriously by others.
I'm depressed, I'm sad, I'm hateful, what the hell is wrong with those people? Won't they be the next to be trampled underfoot, and will they feel that mocking the disgraced is just that geography?
On that day, I felt that I had been greatly insulted, but I had to keep my head down.
It turns out that this world is not as simple as I thought, and it is even cruel to the extreme, devouring the only dignity of the weak like a wild beast.
