Chapter 13: Martial Arts Competition
"Pianhong, have you slept?" Cheng Biting Jin's voice came from outside my door.
I was shocked, and hurriedly got up to open the door, let the master Cheng Yanjin into the room, and closed the door smoothly, not that I was secretive, but I didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
"Master, why are you here at such a late hour?" I wondered.
I saw Cheng Yanjin smile, and then said: "Tomorrow is the martial arts meeting, I want to try your skills." ”
"Huh? Master, don't you want me to punch you again? ”
"Haha, no, no, I only need to talk to you a few tricks to know the answer!"
"Tricks? Master, this ...... How can I prevail against you? "I was a little surprised.
"I know you can't beat me, I just want to know how your cultivation is!"
"But this ......"
"Okay, don't be verbose, hurry up and make a move, how can you grind and chirp like a girl!"
My heart sank, and I nodded: "In that case, then well, master, you have to be merciful!" ”
"Haha, silly boy, do you still think that my old Cheng will hurt you?"
Immediately afterwards, I exposed all the martial arts and moves I learned in the past few months to the master Cheng Biting Jin, this trick lasted for nearly half an hour, after a fight, I was already sweating profusely, but looking at the master Cheng Biting Jin, it was light and light, as if no one was fine.
"Alright, sit down." Cheng Yanjin took the lead in sitting on the bench, and then pointed out to me: "What about you, your cultivation is good, compared to your senior brothers and sisters, you can achieve such results in such a short time, it is already good, it seems that I am worried a lot, tomorrow's martial arts performance, you will definitely be able to achieve a good result!" ”
"The master laughed at me, how can I compare to my brothers and sisters!" I laughed at myself.
"Shhh, don't say that, and the purpose of the martial arts meeting is to learn with your heart, when the time comes, you can't have such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law mentality, you can compete as much as you want, as long as you don't beat people to death!" Cheng Yanjin said with a smile.
"But, master......"
"Don't be, it's right to listen to the master." Cheng Yanjin paused, and then said loudly: "That's it, I'll give you a condition, if you can get a good result tomorrow, then I'll let you travel far away, how about it?" ”
"Traveling? Are you sure? Master, where are you going? "That's exactly what I wanted, and I'm very excited.
"Well, that's the case, what about me, I haven't seen Sister Guanyin for a while, if you get good results tomorrow, then I will let you take a generous gift, go to Putuo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and visit Sister Guanyin, in order to convey my feelings of missing Sister Guanyin, how about it?"
Hearing Cheng Yanjin say this, I couldn't help laughing, but thinking that it was going to that person's outstanding Dongsheng Divine Continent, I still longed for it and looked forward to it, so I immediately nodded and said, "Okay, master, then we can decide!" ”
"Of course, I Lao Cheng is the most unlievable! Haha......"
"Haha......"
The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled, and then ended the night's meeting.
After sending away the master Cheng Biting Jin, I seemed to be lying on the bed, but I couldn't sleep with excitement, my heart had already flown to the Putuo Mountain of Dongsheng Shenzhou, although I had never been to Putuo Mountain of Dongsheng Shenzhou, but in recent months I have heard a lot from my brothers and sisters, saying that there are many strange beasts and immortals in Dongsheng Shenzhou, respecting heaven and earth, so to speak, it is a place where the immortals live, if you can really see the immortals, there are no regrets in this life.
I woke up in the middle of the night, before dawn, and was woken up by the deafening sound of drumming, and it seemed that the martial arts show was about to begin.
I hurriedly dressed myself, I never pay attention to the appearance of the dress or anything like that, today is extraordinary after all, I deliberately tied my messy long hair back of my head, and chose a white robe embellished with tassels, and draped it over my body, it felt like a very virtuous master.
When I pushed the door out, I saw that the senior brothers and sisters of the same sect had already gathered in the school grounds, and around the position of the martial arts platform, the torches were blazing, and all kinds of weapons were lined up around the martial arts platform.
I hurriedly followed, blended into the crowd, and when I got close to the martial arts platform, I saw that at this time, the master Cheng Yanjin was sitting alone on the high platform, and his line of sight was just enough to see the entire martial arts platform.
And on the stage, there was a person standing alone at this time, that was the shadow brother who looked cold on the outside, and the shadow brother seemed to be reconciling the order, and the list of the next competitions.
According to the regulations of previous years, the martial arts meeting is to divide all the disciples of the Tang Dynasty official mansion into three categories, one is the disciples who started earlier, they learn from each other, only counting their achievements, and they have nothing to do with us, which is also established on the basis of fairness.
And the second type is the inner disciples who live in the Tang Dynasty Mansion, such as me, who eat, drink, and sleep in the Tang Dynasty Mansion.
The third category is the foreign disciples of the Tang Dynasty, which means that the disciples who do not stay in the Tang Dynasty's mansion, such as Bai Han and Bai Rou, of course, looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, there are still more foreign disciples, so the first competition of the martial arts meeting starts with the foreign disciples learning from each other.
In each category, only the first and second places are distinguished, but they do not include those senior brothers and sisters, and their competition is only counted in their category, and the first and second places among the inner disciples, as well as the first and second places among the outer disciples, have to compete again between the two categories to compete for the final and only winner.
With the sound of several drums in a row, the atmosphere began to fall into seriousness, and the master Cheng Biting Jin who was sitting on the high platform began to speak, most of the content was some words that focused on learning and must not hurt people.
The first one was the exchange between foreign disciples, I watched carefully from the audience, and I also studied and observed unconsciously, and at the same time, the tension in my heart gradually increased, which made me a little worried and melancholy.
The sound of "bang-bang-bang" weapons colliding came from the martial arts platform, and the atmosphere was held up, and almost all the disciples were attentively watching the people on the martial arts stage, and unconsciously, time passed quickly.
Some brothers and sisters are very quick to learn, and they can distinguish the winner with a few simple moves, but some brothers and sisters are pestering for a long time, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner and loser, but when it is difficult to distinguish the winner and loser, there is a shadow brother who comes to judge the winner on a fair basis, which plays the true meaning of the competition, thus saving everyone time.
The competition between the foreign disciples began in the morning and continued until the afternoon, and then the winner was finally divided, but fortunately, Bai Han won the first place, and the second place was a senior brother I was not very familiar with, and I couldn't even call the other party's name.
As for Bai Rou, she didn't even grab the top ten, and she missed out on the martial arts stage.
The discussion between the outer disciples is over, and the next thing is the discussion between the inner disciples, including me.
The martial arts exercise is going on nervously.
The first few games did not have my arrangement, I was anxiously waiting, and when I was finally able to play, there were bursts of cries from the field, as if I was deliberately setting me off, I was a little flattered, but I thought that I, a new disciple who had only practiced for a short period of four months, could participate in the martial arts exercise on his own, which was really beyond their expectations.
I was against a senior brother who had met several times, only to see that he was holding a long knife in his hand, wielding it with a murderous aura, I was a little gloomy, looking at the long sword in his hand, I always felt that I had lost my aura.
"Senior Brother Lin, right? I heard that you are making rapid progress, and I am willing to learn it today! The other party shouted.
"Well, this senior brother is serious, please be merciful." I smiled humbly.
"Don't worry, I will be merciful to your subordinates, make a move!"
The other party said that his subordinates were merciful, but the shot was unusually sharp, and the surging pressure made me in a trance for a moment, and before I could react, the murderous long knife in the other party's hand had already slashed towards the top of my head, I was a little surprised, didn't I say a good exchange? Why do you still have a dead hand? In a panic, I had no choice but to raise the long sword in my hand and hold it horizontally above my head, trying to block the opponent's moves.
"Bang!"
A loud bang came, and the long knife in the opponent's hand smashed on the back of the long sword in my hand, and suddenly my hands were numb for a while, and my body involuntarily retreated backwards, a few feet away, and then I froze.
There was a flurry of boos from the sidelines, and I became even more nervous.
However, the other party didn't seem to want to give me a chance to breathe, only to see him raise his sword again, and with rapid force, it struck at me at a rapid speed.
I just suffered a small loss, and I already have a certain number in my heart, and now I just want to move an enemy and I don't move, so I stood in place, my eyes locked on the other party, spying on the other party's moves, and when the other party was only less than a foot away from me, when I saw that the long knife was already standing in front of my eyes, I hurriedly dodged, dodged, and bent down, and quickly flashed behind the other party.
In the other party's exclamation, I unleashed a blow, and the blade of the sword stuck directly in the opponent's neck. There were bursts of cheers from the audience.
"Senior Brother Lin, I lost in the next ......" The other party threw away the long knife in his hand and chose to admit defeat.
I am very relieved to win the first battle, I was still worried that I had not experienced the actual battle, there would be flaws, but now this battle has given me a lot of confidence.
I couldn't help but turn my eyes to look at the master Cheng Yanjin, who was sitting on the high platform at this time, only to see him smile at me with satisfaction, and at the same time nodded slightly. This gave me a boost of confidence and made me fearless about the next challenge......
