Chapter 85 South Cave and North Cave

On a mountain wall in the Valley of Caves, there are many large and small caves, many of which have been artificially carved into cave houses for people to live in, and are dotted with some wood carved cornices, which is exquisite and special. Stone stairs and wooden ladders are interspersed with the mountain walls, connecting the cave to the cave house.

The ladder extends in all directions, up and down, and it seems quite complicated. The ladder on the periphery alone is so complicated that you can imagine what the inside of the cave is like.

At the height of the mountain wall, there is a square depression that has been excavated for many years, and three big red characters are engraved on the depression: Hundred Cave School!

Although this is just a small sect in a corner of the country, in this realm, it is also an existence like a snake on the ground, and it is not something that ordinary people can provoke.

Today is a major day for the Hundred Caves Sect, and everyone in the sect gathered on a martial arts training platform built on the mountainside, divided into two groups of people, one south and one north, and confronted each other from afar.

These two groups of people wore very different suits, one group wore cyan clothes, and the other group wore dark brown clothes. The blue clothes have the word "north" written on the back, and the dark brown clothes have the word "south" written on the back.

Two kinds of energetic outfits distinguish the identities of these two groups of people, one south and one north, and they are distinct.

These two groups of people are all members of the Hundred Cave Sect, but their factions are different. Wearing green clothes, writing the north character represents the "North Cave", wearing brown clothes, writing the south character represents the "South Cave". The people of the two factions live on the north and south sides of the valley respectively, bounded by the center of the valley.

Today's so-called big day is the day of the martial arts competition between the disciples of the north and south caves, and the disciples who won the competition. You can get a special liquid distributed by the sect leader. Apply this special liquid to the body. It has the miraculous effect of improving the strength of the skin.

This liquid has always been the secret of the Hundred Cave Sect, and it has never been publicized to the outside world, and even not many people in the sect know about the existence of this liquid, only knowing that the disciples who win every year can get a small part of the special liquid given by the sect as a reward. As for what exactly the special liquid is and what specific effects it has, it has always been a taboo topic in the sect.

The head of the Hundred Caves Sect was an old man with a yellow beard, sitting at the top of the middle of the martial arts training hall. Behind him stood several elders. This group of highly respected people is in charge of this annual martial arts event.

The team of the north and south caves is at the first place, and each of them stands the cave master in the cave. The owner of the North Cave is a middle-aged woman with a frosty face, she is quite good-looking between her eyebrows, and her figure is okay, but her face is evil, which makes it difficult to get close. The cave master of the South Cave is a middle-aged short and fat man, with a round body, only one meter tall, and a lot shorter than the disciples around him. It's ridiculous.

Before that, the head of the house had already finished his opening remarks. Now it's time for the official martial arts competition. The air on the martial arts training platform became tense and oppressive, and the people of the north and south caves looked at each other with obvious hostility in their eyes.

The cave masters of the two caves each shouted out a disciple, and the two disciples came out in response, stepped forward proudly, bowed deeply to each other, opened their posture, and prepared to fight.

The north and south caves have different factions and different blades, the blade used in the south cave is a half-moon shaped pickaxe, and the blade used in the north cave is a sharp shovel. These two blades are not among the eighteen blades, and the corresponding moves are also very surprising and special.

It is rumored that the use of these two kinds of blades was realized by the ancestor of the Baidong School when he was digging a hole, and among the various blades, it is unique and has its own family. Back then, the ancestor of the Hundred Caves Sect relied on a pickaxe and shovel, and he was also famous and defeated many famous opponents.

It's a pity that the descendants of the Hundred Caves Sect are not as good as the next generation, so these two special blades have also declined.

The two disciples of the north and south caves each said a request, and one of the anxious disciples of the north cave rushed forward with a shovel and fought with another disciple of the south cave.

As soon as the connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was one. After these two people fought, they immediately revealed their respective cultivations, both of which were double heavenly martial artists, and they were not high.

The pickaxe moves used in the South Cave are mostly pointed, teasing and smashing, and the attack range is long, so it is customary to keep a certain distance from the enemy during the battle, so as to attack the enemy with the tips on both sides of the pickaxe. The shovel used in the North Cave is similar to "Yue" in shape, and there are also common points in the moves, mainly chopping, chopping, and stabbing. In contrast, the shovel is thicker and more stocky, and when wielded, it is more powerful and less agile.

The strength of the two is equal, and they use the blades of the sect, and they are inseparable for a while.

When the grappling reached the twenty-first move, the physical strength of the disciples in the North Cave gradually weakened, and the moves showed signs of slowing down. The disciples of the South Cave seized the opportunity to swing the pickaxe in their hands diagonally from the bottom right to the top, and aggressively went to tease the chest of the disciples of the North Cave.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the disciples of the North Cave made the move "Dapeng Falling Slope", lowered their figures, and half-squatted on the ground, which was able to dodge the attack of the pickaxe. The pickaxe misses the air and is lifted into the air.

The disciples of the South Cave have a back move in this move, and the move does not make it old. At the moment when the pickaxe head was floating in the air, his body retreated, and by the force of retreat, he pulled the pickaxe in the air hard.

The disciples of the North Cave couldn't see the situation above their heads, and coupled with their physical exertion, one couldn't dodge and was stabbed in the shoulder by the falling pickaxe. The pickaxe head sank into the position by as much as an inch, penetrating the shoulder blades alive. The disciples of the North Cave screamed and fell to the ground, convulsing in pain.

The disciples of the South Cave were victorious, their faces were happy, their wrists flicked, they gouged out the pickaxe, held it in their hands, took out the handkerchief on their bodies and wiped the bloodstains.

There was a great chaos on the side of the North Cave, and several disciples pounced on them, carried the injured fellow disciples down, and carried them down for emergency treatment.

Contrary to the panic on the side of the North Cave, the disciples of the South Cave applauded one after another and congratulated the winning disciples. The actions of the disciples of the South Cave caused the disciples of the North Cave to be extremely dissatisfied, but they did not dare to speak out of anger.

In the competition of real swords and guns, it is inevitable that some damage will be made. Before the competition, the two sides had already signed a life and death certificate, life and death depend on their abilities, no matter if they are seriously injured or lose their lives, they cannot seek revenge afterwards.

Today's contest has a total of five competitions, the first one is over, and then the second one begins, and two more disciples come forward with their blades, say hello, and fight in one place. Because the first contest was popular, and the second contest was affected, the two contestants were very fierce, as if the enemy had met.

Today's contest of the Hundred Caves Sect is a contest in the door, and outsiders are not allowed to watch, but there are still two uninvited guests who came uninvited, hid behind a big rock on the mountain, and condescendedly watched this tragic contest.

These two uninvited guests are Zhao Zheng and Zihuan. They rushed all the way, and arrived at the Valley of the Hundred Caves half a day ago, changed their horses, and moved forward on foot instead, avoiding the disciples of the Hundred Caves Sect, and quietly sneaked into the mountain.

It came early, it was better to come by coincidence, and the two of them happened to catch up with the Hundred Caves Sect to hold a competition among the disciples in the sect, and they opened their eyes.

Zhao Zheng was lying behind a dead grass, looking down secretly, he was more than thirty zhang away from the platform of the competition, and he didn't see it too really, the people on the platform were like a group of small ants. Zihuan crouched beside him, using the gap between the big stone and the mountain wall as a cover, and from her delicate body, there was a faint fragrance of her daughter's home.

Due to the distance, coupled with the howling mountain wind as a cover, the two of them could talk quietly without worrying about being heard by the people below.

Within the Hundred Caves Sect, there are not so powerful martial artists, but they can be thirty zhang away, and in the wind of Wuthering Mountain, they can hear the whispers of two people.

"Are you sure these disciples of the Hundred Caves Sect are fighting for the 'stalactite jade liquid'?" Zihuan asked in a low voice.

"I'm 100% sure, when I heard the disciples of the Hundred Cave Sect drunken talk about the 'stalactite jade liquid', he once mentioned that there was this kind of competition in the sect, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by the two of us today." Zhao Zheng packed the ticket.

"Alas, it's just for some liquid that strengthens the skin, as for you to fight to the death."

"Those fighting disciples may not know what they are fighting for at all, they only know that after winning, they will be able to get the benefits of the sect's distribution."

"It's not worth getting seriously injured for this thing. Look at the disciple who lost the contest just now, his shoulder blade was completely pierced, no matter what kind of elixir is used, don't think about curing it, this arm will be abolished in the future. ”

"It's really not worth it to fight like this for a little 'stalactite jade liquid', but if you replace the 'stalactite jade liquid' with a little daughter-in-law, it's worth it." Zhao Zheng laughed.

"Hehe, after changing to a little daughter-in-law, fill in a bride price to go in, if anyone wins, they can directly marry a little daughter-in-law and go home, which is also beautiful." Zihuan said with a smile.

"Next time, I'll write a letter to the head of the Hundred Cave Sect, write the suggestion of the two of us, and ask him to change it according to this suggestion."

"When he received the letter, he was so angry that he tore it up."

The two laughed about this matter for a while, and while they were talking, the second competition also ended, and this time it ended with a serious injury of a disciple, but it was no longer the North Cave disciple who was injured, but the South Cave disciple. One disciple from each of the north and south caves was injured, but it was flattened.

"The competition is divided into five games, and the competition will end after a while, so let's stop watching the excitement, let's hurry up and go to find the 'stalactite jade liquid'. The people of the Hundred Caves Sect gathered here to compete, and there must be an empty defense in the cave, which is just convenient for the two of us. Zhao Zheng pulled Zihuan's sleeve and proposed.

"It's okay, anyway, this competition is nothing to look at, let's go find the 'stalactite jade liquid'." Zihuan nodded.

"I remember the way there, you come with me." Zhao Zheng turned around and moved forward close to the mountain wall, taking one step at a time, walking very steadily. (To be continued......)
