Volume 2: Longteng Xijing Chapter 263: Deliberations in the Hall (2)
"Xiao Lu, in front of my second and third brothers today, I will tell you the results of our discussion yesterday." Murong Hu paused when he said this, looked at Lu Yao and asked, "However, I still have a reluctant request before this, I hope Xiao Lu can tell him honestly, which can be regarded as giving these core disciples of the Murong family who are present today a confidence, can it?" ”
"It's okay to say it, the younger generation should tell each other sincerely!" Lu Yao didn't feel unhappy because of Murong Hu's hesitation, on the contrary, he felt that this was a normal reaction, otherwise it would make people a little uneasy.
"Okay, I'll just say it directly, Xiao Lu proposed to see our Murong family's martial arts secrets before, not to mention this matter for a martial arts family like us, even ordinary people must think twice, so I want Xiao Lu to tell you in front of everyone today what you are doing this for?" Murong Hu's expression was a little nervous when he said this.
Murong Hu didn't know if he had discussed it with Murong Qing and Murong Tang in advance, as soon as he said this, the two of them seemed calm and calm, but those juniors all had different expressions, some of them had their eyes fixed on Lu Yao, and some of them looked a little cramped and uneasy, especially Murong Xinyuan, his eyes looked at Lu Yao, and then at his father, before he got Lu Yao's answer, he had always been like this.
Perhaps the most calm person in the audience was Lu Yao himself, I saw him slowly pick up the teacup next to him and take a sip, and then looked at Murong Hu and the two old men beside him with a smile, and said unhurriedly: "Although the younger generation is young, he also knows a little bit about martial arts, Qimen Dunjia, Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, Yin and Yang all follow certain laws, I have not seen the kung fu of the children of the Murong family, and I don't know how your cultivation is, but I have diagnosed Murong Wen's illness, I think that most of the men of your family have this strange disease because of cultivation, so the younger generation boldly speculates that there should be something wrong with the Murong family's martial arts cheats, so they dare to have this request, there is nothing else to think about, is it credible? ”
"Nonsense!"
"Bold!"
"Presumptuous!"
As soon as Lu Yao finished speaking, many young talents of the Murong family were already angry, and accusations came to his face, and even Murong Xinyuan, who wanted to defend Lu Yao, didn't know what to do, and when the words came to his mouth, he forcibly swallowed them back into his stomach.
"What an arrogant boy, you dare to be so ashamed with a little favor, are you really no one in our Murong family?" Murong Qianyuan jumped out of the crowd directly, pointed at Lu Yao's nose and scolded.
Murong Hu originally wanted to come forward to alleviate this embarrassing scene, but as soon as he got up slightly, he was stopped by the second brother Murong Qing next to him, the two have lived for many years, and they are brothers, just an eye exchange with each other, they know each other's hearts, and Murong Hu didn't say anything.
Of course, Murong Hu also had other plans in his heart at this time, he knew that although the second brother Murong Qing and the third brother Murong Tang were a little relieved yesterday, but after all, the matter was big, and it was difficult to convince people if Lu Yao did not show enough strength in front of the juniors, so he also wanted to witness Lu Yao's kung fu with his own eyes, and on the other hand, he also had a deeper level of calculation, so he would keep silent and let Murong Qianyuan make trouble in front of everyone and Lu Yao.
"Uncle, this kid is too arrogant, today I want to challenge him in front of everyone, and I hope the three elders will agree!" Murong Qianyuan bowed his waist and clenched his fists and asked Murong Hu and the other two elders for instructions.
The Murong family is not a small family, the family rules are strict, although Murong Qianyuan is considered a leader among the younger generations, but it is not good to be too presumptuous in front of the elders, it is taboo to use force in the family council hall without the consent of the elders, and he cannot afford such consequences.
"Xiao Lu, are you watching?" Although Murong Hu agreed with Murong Qianyuan's approach in his heart, he still had to do the fair work on the surface, and asked Lu Yao with an embarrassed face.
"The younger generation is kind-hearted, but it can withstand your interrogation, if Hu Lao and the two seniors think that there is no problem, I am also happy, but there is a word first, until the point is reached, do not hurt the harmony!" Lu Yao said with a righteous face.
"Second brother, third brother, what do you think?" Murong Hu saw that Lu Yao had no opinion, and asked Murong Qing and Murong Tang who were sitting next to him.
"Xiao Lu is a guest from afar, and he cured Wen'er's illness, we should have been treated as guests, but the family cheats are not child's play, and it is difficult for us to meet Xiao Lu's requirements arbitrarily without enough convincing, at the moment Xiao Lu has no opinion, as the children of the rivers and lakes, we should not be indecisive, it is all up to the eldest brother to decide!" Murong Qing and Murong Tang glanced at each other, and Murong Qing said their opinions.
Everyone has no opinion, and what Murong Qing said is also right, the children of the rivers and lakes have their own solutions to the problems of the children of the rivers and lakes, and Lu Yao, as the party concerned, has no objection, this matter is completed, Murong Hu said: "In this case, Qianyuan, you and Xiao Lu will compete, but I have a word first, so far, don't hold grudges, you can do it?" ”
"Uncle, I don't have a problem!" Murong Qianyuan said cleanly.
"Elder Hu, I don't have an opinion either!" Lu Yao also smiled and nodded.
"In that case, everyone will follow me to the martial arts arena." After speaking, Murong Hu took the lead in getting up, walked to Lu Yao's side, glanced at this young man who had never been able to see through, and walked towards the door.
Murong Hu went first, Murong Qing and Murong Tang followed, Lu Yao and Murong Qianyuan also followed, Murong Xinyuan has been accompanying Lu Yao, and after a few words, the others also walked towards the martial arts arena of Murong Villa.
……
……
What he saw and heard along the way, it was indeed as Lu Yao guessed, this Murong Villa was indeed located in the lofty mountains of Panlong Mountain, walking out of the meeting hall and passing through a corridor seven or eight meters long, the scenery in front of him suddenly opened up, with mountains and mountains, and the grass and trees covering the sky and could be seen as far as the eye could see.
The martial arts arena of Murong Villa is located in an open area in the backyard of the mountain, with high walls on three sides, only one side is empty, but Lu Yao can feel it through the biting cold wind, which direction must be adjacent to the mountain stream, only in the mountain stream will there be such a biting cold wind blowing out, if it is not for everyone to practice martial arts, this cold wind is really difficult to resist.
The martial arts arena of Murong Villa is located in an open position, there is a small area paved with red bricks in the middle, and there are two rows of wooden frames on both sides of the area, on which swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks are lined up in turn, it can really be said that there are a lot of eighteen kinds of weapons, such a furnishing, such an environment is really a good place to practice martial arts.
"Under Murong Qianyuan, there is one in thirty years old, and the ninth generation of the Murong family is ranked second, ask Lu Shaoxia for advice!" Murong Qianyuan said with his fists clenched.
This is the first time Lu Yao has faced such a formal competition, and he also learned from Murong Qianyuan's appearance and reported to his family: "In Xia Lu Yao, he is seven years old, and he has been practicing martial arts for more than a year, so he is shallow in learning, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, but young people must have the blood and strength of young people, and today I am here to ask Brother Murong for a lesson or two, and I hope that all the elders will testify." Lu Yao said that he was neither humble nor arrogant, and his movements were also learned.
As soon as Lu Yao's words came out, the entire martial arts arena suddenly exploded, no one thought that he was only seventeen years old this year, and what was even more shocking was that he said that he had only practiced martial arts for more than a year.
A junior who has been practicing martial arts for a year challenges Murong Qianyuan, who has been practicing the martial arts of the Murong family for more than 20 years, this is like a young lion cub challenging a male lion in his prime, how can it not make people look sideways?
However, when everyone remembered the incident that Murong Hu described at the family meeting at that time, Lu Yao killed the thief Zhu Lao Jiu, and when they saw him calm and confident at this time, they didn't dare to underestimate him.
"Look at the move!" Murong Qianyuan let out a loud shout and rushed over.
The competition has begun, and the two sides are also voluntary, and Murong Qianyuan will not scruple so much, but the Murong family has always acted decently, and Murong Qianyuan's subordinates still left some sense of proportion and did not attack with all their might.
Murong Qianyuan, as the second-ranked master of the Murong family's prime-age generation, even if he left a sense of proportion, the posture of this shot was still tiger-like, and even the other children of the Murong family who were standing on the side felt it really, and they were definitely masters!
"Qianyuan's martial arts have improved again!" Murong Qing said softly.
When Murong Hu and Murong Tang heard this, they also bowed slightly.
Murong Xinyuan clenched his fists with both hands when he saw this formation, ready to help Lu Yao at any time, he listened to Lu Yao's self-report just now, and he lost his previous confidence. But everything flashed by like a white horse.
"What?"
"How could it be?"
"He's a witch!"
“……”
In just an instant, everyone was already shocked, and no one dared to believe the scene they had just seen in front of them, even the three Murong Hu brothers, who were sitting at the top of the middle of the martial arts arena, stood up all of a sudden, looking at each other speechlessly.
Murong Xinyuan rubbed his eyes vigorously with his right hand, he didn't recover from the shock just now, and he couldn't believe that there was such a thing happening in the world, which completely subverted his perception of martial arts.
Time is like a tired traveler, stopped, everything is frozen at this moment, at this time Lu Yao is the only one in the field as if he is not at the mercy of time, step by step, step by step towards the wooden man who fell to the ground, already like a numb general wooden man.
"Brother Murong, forgive me for being rude just now." Lu Yao slowly stretched out his right hand and said with a smile towards Murong Qianyuan, who was sitting there without even rolling his eyes.
Lu Yao's hand was stretched out in mid-air, Murong Qianyuan didn't react for a long time, he even forgot what happened just now, why his momentum became vanished in an instant, and the whole person was like a night boat in the ocean in the face of the boundless coercion emanating from Lu Yao's body, and was overturned to the ground by a wave of air.
