Chapter 23: The Price of Face
The battle between the two has reached this point, it is already a tie, if it is stopped at this time, both of them can save their lives, but no one stops, and the battle continues.
Hou Ying stood up, there was no gun in his hand, Xu Lang was crazy, he actually pulled out the gun on his shoulder, and suddenly the blood on his shoulder was gushing, but it was even more ferocious, holding a gun in one hand, staring at Hou Ying with fierce eyes, approaching step by step.
Fierce eyes stared at Hou Ying, Xu Lang suddenly laughed nervously, like a man-eating demon, and the spear stabbed at Hou Ying like lightning. The tip of the gun reached his body, Hou Ying's face was full of sadness and joy, his horse steps were tightened, and his arms were wrapped together, using his arms as a gun and using marksmanship. Xu Lang is not good at using guns after all, the spear is entangled in Hou Ying's arms, Hou Ying grabs it, the two of them each hold a spear, Xu Lang's arm is weak, Hou Ying's chest is seriously injured, his arms are difficult to close, and he is pulling for a while, it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser, and they are secretly accumulating.
Everyone in the audience watched the battle with bated breath, a heart was mentioned in the throat, and suddenly the shadow of the lumbar spine moved, his arms sank and shook, and he stabbed homeopathically, Xu Lang didn't understand the gun after all, although he reacted, he couldn't fight for the gun, and the tip of the gun pierced into Xu Lang's chest and leaked out from the back.
Xu Lang fell, blood gushing in his chest, and his eyes were still staring at Hou Ying unwillingly.
Hou Ying pulled out his spear and raised it to the sky, and suddenly the Shanke Alliance was booming, and the roar shook the sky.
In the first game, the mountain guest league won.
The masters of the Shanke Alliance jumped into the ring and carefully hugged Hou Ying down, and the doctors of the Shanke Alliance quickly gave emergency treatment and sent him to the Military General Hospital in an ambulance that had been prepared.
The tragic battle, the battle of two people, was as suffocating as thousands of troops, and the audience was all frightened.
The scene was quiet, and for a moment, Dong Foshan, the president of the Buddha Association, patted the armrest of the chair, and a person behind him jumped into the ring, and at the same time, a person from the Shanke Alliance also jumped into the ring.
The Buddha will fight against Lin Shu, the star picker of the head of the Seven Dharma Protectors, obviously this game of the Buddha will be with the idea of victory, and the mountain guest alliance is the elder of the Chuangong Hall, Zhenshan Cannon Sun Zhenshan, and the proud master is the Three Emperors Cannon Hammer.
After a while, Lin Xu's body advanced rapidly, and slapped Sun Zhenshan's shoulder with a palm, Sun Zhenshan's cannon hammer shot, two muffled sounds in a row, Sun Zhenshan couldn't cover it, and was broken through the defense head-on, and his shoulder was shattered and shriveled to the ground.
This Lin was actually the top master of the Republic of China, Li Shuwen's trick play, hard to enter without cover, frontal attack, one move to hit Sun Zhenshan.
One move to divide the winner and loser, the audience was in an uproar, the Buddha Club suddenly became imposing, the depression of the first game defeat was swept away, and everyone shouted loudly Lin Shu, the name, the sound was shocking, and the momentum was unparalleled for a while.
Nan Zhongdao was taken aback, this Lin Shu's strength was so terrifying, I am afraid that he would not be able to resist two moves when he went up, probably only the strongest of the four of them could match it, and his heart couldn't help but feel heavy.
With one move, Lin Shu got out of the ring, and the people of the Mountain Guest Alliance hurriedly hugged Sun Zhenshan down and sent him for treatment. Needless to say, everyone already knows that with such a big gap in strength, if Lin Shu hadn't kept his hand, Sun Zhenshan would have died.
Two battles were drawn, and the last battle was a decisive battle.
The crowd quieted down, and they all looked at the nearest person behind the two bosses in the camps on both sides, and after a while, Dong Foshan said a name: Feng Qi.
Zhang Fengqi, nicknamed Chopping Wind, ranked third among the seven protectors of the Buddha Society, good at making eight chopping knives, a master of Wing Chun secret tradition, and a real core figure in the door.
The person who came out of the Shanke Alliance was, the invisible sword Zhou Dingyun, the guest elder of the Shanke Alliance, the master of Wudang, subordinate to the Chuangong Hall, worshiped for the Chuangong Hall, rarely participated in the affairs of the alliance, and was a master who was dedicated to the pursuit of martial arts.
Sword duel, life and death, victory or defeat, a battle to win or lose.
Zhang Fengqi's knife, just like his nickname, can even cut the wind, Zhou Dingyun's sword, like his nickname, is so fast that you can't see it, and when you see it, it's when the sword is on you.
There was almost no temptation, and after the two came on stage, their figures were staggered together.
The sword, invisible, only the cold light, the knife, can't see clearly, only the sound of the wind.
The sword light was vertical and horizontal, enveloping the figures of the two people, the sword aura was terrible, and there was no trace, seven seconds, after sixteen moves, blood flowers flew up, and one person fell.
It was Zhang Fengqi who fell, and the Buddha would lose, and the eight slashing swords were defeated by the invisible sword.
Dong Foshan's face changed several times.
Zhang Fengqi didn't die, Zhou Dingyun left his hand, and a sword pierced his shoulder blade, not the heart of the point below, I don't know if it was Lin Shu's love to keep his hand.
The victory and defeat are clear, the dust has settled, and everyone in the Shanke Alliance is overjoyed, chanting in unison: Shanke Alliance, Shanke Alliance~~~
Nan Zhongdao's face was not very good-looking, he didn't expect Zhang Fengqi and Zhou Dingyun to be so strong, he was not an opponent against any of them, and he might not be able to hold five moves under Zhou Dingyun, this Zhou Dingyun's Wudang swordsmanship has reached the point of being superb, and the swordsmanship tends to be swayed at will.
The hall master of the Wing Chun Hall of the Buddha Society jumped into the ring, looked at Chen Sanzang, the leader of the Mountain Guest Alliance opposite, and raised his voice: "The Buddha will lose convincingly, the murderer Xu Lang has died at your hands, will the Buddha ask about this matter again." ”
After speaking, he jumped out of the ring, and the Buddha Congregation withdrew.
It is estimated that the Buddha will have already found a substitute for the dead ghost, but Xu Lang died in battle, and even saved the substitute for the dead ghost, and directly pressed the charge on his head. The person is dead, and it is a hundred, and the Mountain Guest Alliance can no longer inquire about it, and it does not need to be traced again.
The Shanke Alliance set off a war, but it was just a step, a face, and now that the face is there, it doesn't matter who it is, if it continues to be entangled, it may not be able to please it, and it will end here, which is the most beneficial result for the Shanke Alliance.
Since the upheaval, the most influential dispute in the southern martial arts has come to an end, but whether the tide in the dark will stop, no one knows, there is no fashion and there are three-foot waves, not to mention the stormy rivers and lakes after this upheaval, the next wind and waves, maybe when it will break out.
On the way back to the entrance of the hall, Nan Zhongdao thought a lot, and when he returned to Dacheng Hall, he had already made up his mind in his heart, and directly told the hall master Yao Wentong that he was going out to practice and would come back when he was successful in his cultivation.
Looking at Nan Zhongdao's determined eyes, Yao Wentong sighed, today he knew that he was shallow, and compared with anyone on the stage, he was not qualified to compare, and the position of the hall master of this Dacheng Hall made him ashamed.
"Go ahead, come back when you're strong enough." Yao Wentong patted Nan Zhongdao's shoulder and said.
"Hmm." Nodding, Nan Zhongdao walked out of Dacheng Hall without hesitation, glanced back at the plaque on the door, and walked west.
After separating from Chu Xiang, Leng Ruyue stayed in the ice and snow for half a month, eating raw meat, drinking snow water, and crossing mountains and mountains every day until she tossed herself to exhaustion, and met hungry beasts several times, and almost died in the mouth of the beast, but fortunately she didn't meet anyone, after all, in this ice and snow, there are few crazy people like her.
When Leng Ruyue returned to the place where there was a signal and received the video from Nan Zhongdao, Leng Ruyue's face became ugly. It was a video of the three martial arts competitions between the Buddha Society and the Mountain Guest Alliance, and after watching it, Leng Ruyue understood that it was impossible to defeat them if she exercised like this, so she could only kill the beast and bully people like her who had not practiced martial arts seriously.
Leng Ruyue thought for a long time, and returned to Wucheng two days later, and came to Nanhua Courtyard, she had been here once, and a few monks recognized her, and she said, "I want to see your elders." ”
Leng Ruyue met the elder, the presiding officer of the Nanhua Courtyard, Master Liyin.
"I want to learn martial arts, I want to become strong." Leng Ruyue is right.
"Okay." Cause and cause are combined, regardless of cause and effect, regardless of reason.
Leng Ruyue began to study martial arts in Nanhua Academy. Women are always treated preferentially, especially beautiful women, even in temples, and women are very rare in this last age when female animals are scarce.
Many people teach Leng Ruyue, many of them are powerful, Leng Ruyue learns very hard, because she knows that to keep up with that person's footsteps, ordinary efforts are not enough, and extreme efforts are needed. Leng Ruyue's efforts have been seen by many people, her talent is also good, she is talented and willing to study hard, there are not many such people, and there are many people who are willing to teach her.
The weather is getting colder and colder, the temperature in August is close to the lowest value, and the cold cyclone in the Arctic is moving southward one after another, and the food supply of Nanhua Courtyard is being affected by the fact that there is less and less food that can be hunted every time you go out.
Standing in the snowy courtyard, Leng Ruyue suddenly remembered Chu Xiang, the figure who went all the way north, would he also slack off because of this cold weather. Leng Ruyue knew that the answer was definitely no, so she didn't dare to stop and continue her cultivation.
On the sixteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, it was the beginning of autumn in the past, and the military government suddenly announced a major event: the first Southern Martial Arts Conference would be held in Wucheng during the Chongyang Festival, and anyone could sign up to participate.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately set off a big wave, and Wucheng, which had lost its vitality due to the drop in temperature, became lively again, and heard that there would be rich prizes in martial arts, and everyone's enthusiasm was higher, and they were all gearing up and ready to do a great job.
The lively atmosphere diluted the silence brought by the extreme cold, the people in Wucheng moved, everyone was preparing for war, and the various major factions were even more powerful, preparing to occupy a place in the martial arts conference, make a name, take the opportunity to absorb more masters, and expand the territory.
Knowing the news of the martial arts conference, Leng Ruyue's cultivation worked harder, and she decided to sign up to participate, she wanted to prove to him that she was not a weak person.
Gongsun Qi was in a ghost town when he received the news, and he had been here for almost a week, and every day in addition to observing the spatial cracks, he was meditating and cultivating. Since Chu Xiang absorbed the resentment here, the spatial rift has been slowly healing, although it is very slow, but it has been changing.
Gongsun Qixin told Chu Xiang and Shi Wuzheng about the situation, Chu Xiang didn't know if he received the information, Shi Wuzheng sent him a message back, telling Gongsun Qi that he was in Guicheng, and the disciples in the door had all been transferred to Guicheng, and sent a location to Gongsun Qi.
The situation here is already clear, there is nothing to do, he is alone, he comes and goes at will, Gongsun Qi decided to go to see Shi Wuzheng, so he braved the wind and snow to rush to Guicheng.
When he arrived in Guicheng, Gongsun Qi found Shi Wuzheng's location according to the positioning, which is a community located at the foot of the mountain, with the mountain and the river at its back, and there are big trees in the courtyard, and it is still green under the snow cover.
There are people practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and a young man with a head holding a bun and wearing a Taoist robe, and a handsome young man is teaching more than a dozen young people to practice swords, adding a sense of slaughter in the wind and snow.
"Who's coming? So what's going on? Before Gongsun Qi stepped into the gate of the community, the young man who taught the sword stared at Gongsun Qi.
"Sun Qi, the father-in-law of the Sprinkle family, came to find Shi Wuzheng." Gongsun Qi hugged his fists.
A disciple went to report, and the young man's eyes seemed to be looking at Gongsun Qi, and a wisp of breath faintly locked on Gongsun Qi.
After a while, the disciple of the report came back and said a word to the young man, who nodded slightly, dispersed the aura of locking Gongsun Qi, and saluted: "Please." ”
Gongsun Qi nodded slightly, although the young man was rude, he locked his breath as soon as he came, Gongsun Qi didn't care, but admired this young man a little, in this world, only prudence can live a long time.
The disciple who reported took Gongsun Qi to see Shi Wuzheng, and when Gongsun Qi passed by the young man, the young man's pupils shrank, and the sword intent condensed all over his body.
After Gongsun Qi walked away, the young man said to the people who were practicing swords: "What do you think of that person just now?" ”
There was a lot of discussion and they all expressed their opinions.
When Gongsun Qi saw Shi Wuzheng, Shi Wuzheng was making dumplings with the doorman, and he didn't know where to get the flour, standing at the kitchen door waiting for Gongsun Qi.
"Looks like I'm in for a treat." Gongsun Qi smiled and shook off the snowflakes on his body.
"Your ability to choose a day is not bad." Shi Wuzheng smiled.
"Of course, I chose the auspicious day of the zodiac to go out." Gongsun Qi laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to do this." ”
"What will not happen, seeing the kung fu, it is not a difficult thing." Shi Wuzheng smiled.
"That's too, come, the Sprinkle family can't eat your dumplings for nothing, let me make a few too." Taking off his military clothes, Gongsun Qi washed his hands and stepped forward to help.
Shi Wuzheng asked a few disciples to salute Gongsun Qi, and several young disciples bowed down one after another, shouting, "Hello Gongsun seniors." ”
"Hello, hello. The Sprinkle family is not used to these red tapes, so don't do this in the future, otherwise I will run away. Gongsun Qi said with a smile and replied with a half-salute.
Listening to Gongsun Qi's funny words, several disciples laughed and were no longer restrained.
Gongsun Qi's technique of making dumplings was surprisingly good, and he wrapped them quickly and beautifully, and Shi Wuzheng's disciples asked him for secrets.
After wrapping dumplings for a while, Gongsun Qi said to Shi Wuzheng: "I just came here, I think there must be a lot of things to be busy with, if there is anything to help with, just say that the Sprinkle family is very idle now." ”
"There's nothing to be busy with, it's all ready-made things, just use it, it's just the difficulty of eating, I just came here, I don't have much food reserves, and it's a little sad this winter." Shi Wuzheng said, his brows a little tight.
"It's simple, I saw a few blind bears on the way here, wait for me to get them back for you." Gongsun Qidao, just do what he says, throw down the dumplings, put on the military coat and go out.
