readx;?“ What is a martial arts conference? I asked curiously. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The master is an outsider, and he doesn't seem to know much about the things on the rivers and lakes." Huo Zhenxing said, "This is the last 3 years to rise in the martial arts competition, respectively in Baoding Mansion, Fengyang Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion, all the world's martial arts people can participate alone or in a team, divided into a single duel, three duel and five duel. ”
"At that time, the imperial court will send officials to attend the meeting and select the best to enter Beijing to participate in the final competition in the royal arena." Huo Yangwei interjected, "Today, the Holy Admiral is here to observe the martial arts conference, and the winner has a better chance to meet the Holy and receive the imperial gift. ”
"Interesting and interesting, such a grand event is unheard of for poor monks." I laughed.
"I've never seen the system release news about the martial arts conference, this is the content of NPCs entertaining themselves, right?" "I don't know if we can get involved." ”
"We'll see, let's intervene if we have a chance." I replied.
"Master, why don't you go to the front market and talk about it in detail." Huo Zhenxing proposed.
"It's all up to the donor." I humbly said.
"Let's go, let's go." Huo Zhenxing shouted, and then took the lead and galloped towards the outside of the forest.
Dream and I summoned mounts and pulled Begonia and Green Warbler on the horses respectively.
Although everyone felt weird, they didn't open their mouths to question it, and they rode their horses to follow Huo Zhenxing.
After about 10 minutes of galloping, we saw a market.
Entering the market, we found a restaurant and took our seats one after another.
The restaurant was small, with only 5 tables in total, and we occupied 4 of them, and the restaurant was packed to the brim.
"What do you guys eat? The cold dishes, stir-fried and baijiu in the small shop are the best in the region. Xiao Er greeted warmly.
Huo Zhenxing ordered 10 dishes and a jar of liquor at random, and ordered Xiao Er to serve in quadruplicate.
"What do you want? We have a few good vegetarian dishes. Xiao Er recommended.
"Don't cook food, poor monks don't cultivate their minds, they only love to drink wine and eat meat." I laughed.
Xiao Er was amazed, and ran to the kitchen with his legs raised to arrange wine and food.
After Xiao Er has filled all the cups, we will officially start the banquet.
Huo Zhenxing first toasted me and Mengyi, and then the two of us each gave everyone a toast.
While drinking with the others, I actively inquired about various matters related to the martial arts conference - I did this not out of pure curiosity, but vaguely felt that this was another opportunity given to us by the system, and if we could complete the challenge, we would definitely get a rich reward.
"Master, there is a saying that the old man doesn't know whether to say it or not." After 7 or 8 rounds of drinking, Huo Zhenxing said tentatively.
I had already guessed a few points in my heart, so I smiled and said, "The donor said that it doesn't hurt." ”
"Originally, the old man wanted to form a trio with the dog and the apprentice Tenghui to participate in the martial arts conference, but now that Tenghui is gone, I wonder if the master is willing to fill this vacancy?" Huo Zhenxing asked bluntly.
Not to mention it, I forgot, I killed his apprentice Chen Tenghui just now, and I never expected that this person was actually the No. 3 person in their martial arts hall, I should say that it is right, I suddenly realized in my heart.
"The poor monk accidentally injured the disciple, and his heart was full of remorse, and he couldn't express it, so he had to dry this jar of wine." I sighed sadly, and then lifted the jar and drank the remaining half of the jar in one gulp.
"Masters, massive." The crowd exclaimed.
I snickered secretly, thinking to myself that I was lucky to have taken the sobering pill in advance, otherwise I would have died ugly.
"The things mentioned by the donor should not be excused by the poor monks, but the monks participate in the struggle and competition, I am afraid that they will be criticized by the world." I pretend to be so.
"Are there still fewer monks and Taoists participating in the martial arts conference?" Huo Yangwei pouted disappreciatively.
"The dog is unreasonable, the master is not strange, but what he said is the truth, there are not a few monks represented by Shaolin and Wudang who have emerged in the martial arts conference." Huo Zhenxing said.
"In this way, the poor monk is disrespectful." I folded my hands.
When everyone saw that I had agreed to fight, some were happy and some were worried, and some hated, and everyone had different expressions.
Huo Zhenxing was overjoyed, for him, there are not many masters, and if I join, the chances of winning will be greatly increased.
Huo Yangwei and the others were suspicious, after all, I killed Chen Tenghui with a musket, and they didn't know what their martial arts were.
The rest of the people, some out of jealousy, some have always been friends with Chen Tenghui, so they naturally hate me to the core.
"Master, your firearm is extremely sharp, I'm afraid there are few people in the world who can avoid it, can you teach me the origin of this thing?" Huo Yangwei asked.
"Hehe, the donor has won the prize." I smiled and said, "This gun was obtained by a poor monk when he traveled to the Western Regions. ”
Huo Yangwei was convinced of the origin of the fire gun I casually made, and even said that he would definitely go to the Western Regions to get a hand if he had the opportunity in the future.
"Practicing martial arts with heart is the right way, no matter how powerful the fire gun is, it is always just a dead thing, where can it be compared to the top master?" I'm in the right way.
"What the master said is very true." Huo Zhenxing agreed.
Although Huo Yangwei didn't think so, he didn't dare to refute it, so he had to nod his head again and again.
"The martial arts conference can't ban hidden weapons and firearms, right?" I asked.
"Secret weapons are an important part of martial arts, how can they be forbidden?" Huo Zhenxing said, "As for firearms...... No one has ever used it, and there is no order to prohibit it. ”
"Master, your fire gun is an artifact produced in the Western Regions, how can an ordinary fire gun have such power and accuracy? When competing, the lethality is not as good as a handful of thistle. Huo Yangwei laughed.
The last trace of doubt in my heart was dispelled, and I couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy, and I couldn't help but raise my glass frequently, and drank all the important people in the revitalization of the martial arts hall.
Towards the end of the banquet, I raised my glass and toasted everyone, and then said solemnly: "The poor monk has a request, this martial arts conference must bring my junior brother, with his help, like a tiger with wings." ”
Huo Zhenxing's brows furrowed, very embarrassed - if he promised me, he must exclude his son from the 3v3 lineup, and his original intention to participate in the martial arts conference was to pave the way for Huo Yangwei's future, he wanted to use this conference to bring his son to make a name for himself and shock the world.
"As long as the revitalization of the martial arts hall can be victorious, whoever plays will be the same." Huo Zhenxing hesitated for a moment and then gritted his teeth and said, "Two masters, it's up to you whether this martial arts conference can win or not." ”
"Rest assured, the poor monk will go all out." I said in unison with the Dream Relics.
"Everyone has done this cup, and I wish me a great victory in revitalizing the martial arts hall." Huo Zhenxing raised his glass and laughed loudly.
"Cheers!" Everyone happily raised their glasses, and then they all drank the wine in their hands.
Then, everyone took advantage of the wine to catch and fight, and drank happily.
The crowd was in high spirits, and the banquet did not end until 3 p.m.
After Tang Wenbiao paid the bill, everyone went out one after another and turned over their horses, and under the leadership of Huo Zhenxing, they galloped towards Baoding Mansion.
"Pavilion master, why don't you take the post carriage? It's quick and easy. I asked.
"We can't open a martial arts gym compared to a dart game, poor." Huo Zhenxing sighed, "The carriage is expensive, we can't afford to sit down." ”
A few hundred taels of silver can travel around the country, which is too expensive, you are really poor, I despise it in my heart.
I wanted to pay for everyone to ride in the carriage, but then I thought about it: my current status is a monk, so it is better to keep a low profile.
Seeing that my expression was uncertain, I suddenly saw my thoughts, so I secretly said: "Brother, some NPCs don't take carriages because of the system settings, you just go with them, maybe there are some adventures along the way." ”
Hearing Dream Yi say this, my heart couldn't help but be filled with strong anticipation, and I couldn't help but clamp my legs hard, urging the horse to gallop.
We drove for 2 hours to reach QY County, the seat of Baoding Prefecture, and as we got closer to our destination, my hopes were gradually dashed - except for the occasional encounter with some birds and animals and passers-by.
After entering the city, our group came to the only inn in the county: Home Inn - this is my property, and I had a fun time with this name when I bought this inn.
"Huh? The name of the South Gate Inn has been changed. Huo Yangwei said, "Today's name is not bad, like home, just like home, hehe." ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, please." Xiao Er saw a large number of guests coming, and hurriedly greeted the door.
Xiao Er quickly glanced at everyone, and when he saw me, his gaze stayed for a few seconds, then shook his head slightly, and then moved his gaze to others.
Hehe, I'm dressed in a monk's attire, and he's changed a lot, and he's only seen me once, so he feels familiar but can't recognize me, I smiled secretly.
"Give us 4 private rooms and 22 bunk beds." Tang Wenbiao said.
"I'm sorry, guest officer, after the renovation of the store, the shop has been cancelled, and now the room is only luxurious, comfortable and ordinary." Xiao Er said with a smile and handed over the price list.
Tang Wenbiao took the price list and looked at it, his face suddenly changed greatly, his eyes widened and he exclaimed: "After half a year, the house price has risen so much?!" ”
"After the new owner of the store took over, it was renovated inside and out, and it cost a lot of money, and the store is an exclusive operation in the city, so the price will naturally rise." Xiao Er said with a smile.
"It's okay to increase the price, but it's too dark to go up 100 times, right?" Tang Wenbiao frowned.
"Huh? 100 times? Everyone exclaimed.
"Why don't we go outside and deal with it for the night." I proposed, "The poor monk travels far and wide, often sleeps in the open, and now the night is not too cold at this time. ”
"Of course, it's okay for me to wait for rude men to sleep on the streets, how can a few female dependents do it?" Tang Wenbiao shook his head and said.
"We want a normal room." Huo Zhenxing said to Xiao Er, "Cook 30 bowls of noodles for us, cut 20 catties of beef, and serve 5 jars of good wine." ”
"The room has it, but the food doesn't." Xiao Er said, "Our store does not serve food, please go to the 'Welcome Building' opposite for dinner." ”
Everyone was speechless, so they had to hand over the horses to Xiao Er, and then slowly paced to the restaurant opposite, while Huo Qianqian and Begonia Green Ying went upstairs to place their luggage first.
