Chapter 12 Participation in the Big Competition
Dali Wuliang Mountain, Wuliang Sword School is in the Jianhu Palace Grand Competition, and the people are very lively. The last big match was the victory of the Eastern Sect and the five years of the Sword Lake Palace, so this time it was the Eastern Sect that defended and the Western Sect attacked. In fact, the legendary immortal sword dance has disappeared for many years, but the disciples of the two sects are still lucky, and more importantly, this big competition is also a grand event that determines the honor and disgrace of the sect, so the disciples of the Eastern Sect are all full of energy, and vow to successfully defend the title and defend the ring. As for the disciples of the Western Sect, the failure last time made them unable to raise their heads in the past five years, and the sect's affairs were also dominated by the Eastern Sect, which made them very breathless, so they were all working together, determined to drive the Eastern Sect out of the Sword Lake Palace.
At this time, outside the Sword Lake Palace, Wu Xi and his party finally arrived here in time. At the foot of Wuliang Mountain, four Wuliang disciples were divided into two teams to guard here, and when they saw Zhao Guangbiao and others coming over, they greeted the first one, saluted and asked: "Yan Guangyu of the Lower Wuliang Sword Sect, this is the Sword Lake Palace of the Wuliang Sword Sect, dare to ask where are your friends?" Zhao Guangbiao replied politely: "Hello, Senior Brother Yan! Our group is a disciple of the Infinite Northern Sect, and they know that today is the day of the Great Competition of the Sword Lake Palace, so they specially came to participate in the martial arts. ”
After hearing what he said, the four immeasurable disciples looked at each other in amazement, Yan Guangyu thought for a while, frowned and said: "This friend, in the seventeenth year of the next entry, has never heard of the immeasurable sword and the branch of the Northern Sect, please don't tease me and others." Zhao Guangbiao listened, his expression was a little complicated, the time for the Northern Sect to leave was too long, so that these immeasurable disciples didn't even know that there was a branch of the Northern Sect. He saluted and explained, "Our disciples of the Northern Sect left Wuliang Mountain thirty years ago, and there has been no news with the Eastern and Western Sects, and it is normal for the junior disciples not to know. ”
At this time, Yan Guangyu's face had already turned cold, and he asked, "Is there an invitation?" Zhao Guangbiao didn't know what he meant, and subconsciously replied: "No" Yan Guangyu smiled coldly and said: "Today is an important day for the big competition of Jianhu Palace, you came here without an invitation, and falsely claimed to be a disciple of the Northern Sect, it is clearly a bad intention, and those who know each other will retreat quickly, don't ask for hardship." Hearing his words, Fan Guangren and the other Northern Sect disciples were so angry that they wanted to rush up and teach this kid a good lesson. Zhao Guangbiao was also unhappy, but he still held down Fan Guangren and said, "Senior Brother Yan, don't be suspicious, you can go and help me wait for a briefing, presumably the uncles must know the origin of our waiting." ”
Yan Guangyu waved his hand impatiently and said, "I said that today is an important day for the Sword Lake Palace Dabi, my master is very busy, I'm afraid I won't have time to see you." "In the end, they are disciples of the great sect, maybe they have been educated with good manners, but the arrogance in their hearts still can't be hidden. traveled thousands of miles from the Great Song Dynasty to Wuliang Mountain, full of various expectations, but he was not even allowed to enter the door, Zhao Guangbiao's face also darkened, and he began to plan to break in, thinking that his uncles should still know about Beizong. ”
At this time, Wu Xi spoke: "Senior Brother Yan, it is true that the Northern Sect has not appeared in Wuliang Mountain for thirty years, and you guess that we are idle people who came to make trouble by forging our identities. It's just that have you ever thought that if we are really immeasurable disciples, but you drive us away without asking clearly, how will people talk about your sect in the future? Because he was afraid of failing the competition, he didn't dare to recognize the disciples of the Northern Sect who came to rendezvous? Or something else. In that case, will the Lingshi feel ashamed? Will you be angry with you, senior brother? Seeing that Yan Guangyu was deep in thought, he smiled and continued: "Whether we are a disciple of the Northern Sect or not, the senior brother can send someone to report it, if we are really not an immeasurable disciple, it will not be too late to drive us away, so that no one can say that yours is not, what does the senior brother think?" ”
Yan Guangyu looked into his eyes and whispered to another immeasurable disciple behind him, who nodded and left quickly. Waiting for him to leave, Yan Guangyu said to Wu Xi: "This friend, please take a moment and let me ask for clarification." Wu Xi nodded, retreated into the crowd and stopped talking.
In the Sword Lake Palace, in addition to the disciples of the Eastern and Western Sects, the Boundless Sword Sect also invited many people from other sects to act as notaries, plus some people who came to watch the ceremony, the number of people almost broke through the two hundred mark, which was very lively. At this time, in the martial arts training hall, there were two people sitting in the east of the hall, and the top was Xin Shuangqing, a middle-aged Taoist girl in her forties, her lips were closed, and her expression was nervous. The next one is naturally Zuo Zimu, the sect leader of the Eastern Sect, who is so focused that he touches his beard with his right hand but forgets to caress it. The seats of the two were about a foot apart, and there were more than 20 male and female disciples standing behind them. There were more than a dozen guests sitting in a row of chairs on the west side. The eyes of both the East and the West were focused on the gladiatorial battle between the two in the field.
Looking at the field, this is the most critical time for the event, and the East and West have won two games each, so this last game is extremely important. Dongzong appeared as a middle-aged man with a relaxed demeanor, and Xizong's player was a young man in his twenties, sweating profusely and looking very struggling. The two of you come and go, and soon a hundred moves have passed, and the young man of Xizong is still young after all, and he is gradually showing the image of being unable to support himself. Suddenly, the young man of Xizong swung out a sword, and he was violent, and his body was slightly disguised, as if he wanted to fall, but it was the 'stumbling step'. Seeing this, the middle-aged man smiled coldly, did not enter lightly, and was not fooled. The young man saw that he was not fooled, so he had no choice but to admit defeat.
Zuo Zimu stood up and said with a smug smile: "The victory has been three times, this time the big competition is won by Dongzong again, Senior Sister Xin, it seems that my Dongzong still needs to live in Jianhu Palace for a few more years" Xin Shuangqing said with a blue face: "The strength of Dongzong is really strong, my disciples of Xizong are far behind, and Xizong is convinced!" The last sentence is like gritting teeth, obviously not really convinced. Zuo Zimu looked scared, looking like I didn't care about you, got up and saluted the guests sitting in the west: "Thank you for your support, this time the martial arts are my Dongzong disciples are slightly better, friends don't be in a hurry to leave, Dongzong will hold a banquet in the Jianhu Palace later, please stay for a light meal." ”
Seeing this, the guests hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and in addition to thanking them, they also praised Dongzong a few words, which was noisy for a while. At this time, a middle-aged man came in and quietly went around to Zuo Zimu to whisper, Zuo Zimu frowned after hearing this, and his expression was very unhappy. After bowing his head and pondering for a moment, he suddenly raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.
After everyone calmed down, he said: "My Infinite Sword Sect was founded here in the Tang Dynasty after five generations, and after decades, it was divided into three sects, in addition to the two sects in the east and west, there is also a northern sect. It's just that in the past thirty years, the Northern Sect has lost the Great Competition, and the sect master has left Wuliang Mountain angrily and left the country in anger, and has never been in contact with us, so it is not well known. ”
After a pause, seeing that everyone was listening attentively, he pretended to be a little angry but forcibly restrained and continued: "But just today, the disciples of the Northern Sect seem to have regained their confidence and came to the foot of Wuliang Mountain again, asking to participate in the Great Competition. Speaking of this, a yellow-robed man among the guests interrupted angrily: "This Northern Sect is really interesting, and if you lose the competition, you will betray and run away, which shows how poor your psychological quality is." Now, when Dongzong has just finished the competition and lacks physical strength, he dares to brazenly make such a request? It's really shameless, Brother Zuo doesn't care what they do, just blow them away. "The other guests are also in tune.
Seeing this, Zuo Zimu smiled slightly: "What Brother Tai said is wrong, although the Northern Sect has betrayed the sect and left, after all, he was once a member of the Infinite Sword Sect, and I can't refuse such a request." After silently agreeing to "Beizong's traitor" and "Beizong's request is shameless", Zuo Zimu decided to issue another good person card, and sure enough, all the guests admired him very much and praised him one after another.
Xin Shuangqing on the side had already reflected at this time, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly echoed Zuo Zimu and said: "What Senior Brother Zuo said is extremely true, after all, the disciples of the Northern Sect are part of the Infinite Sword Sect and have the right to participate in the Great Competition!" At this time, the onlookers no longer spoke against it, after all, they just came to see the excitement, and they would not mind more excitement.
ps: I've been a little busy lately, maybe it's even worse, I was a little busy yesterday, stay up late to make up for it.
