Chapter 15: The Nature of Man
The game is going on non-stop, the duel between the martial artists, the victory and defeat are often in an instant, and it can be considered a protracted battle for five minutes, dozens of arenas continue to have players compete up and down, and it only took one day to complete all the semi-finals, and the thirty-two finalists are freshly baked!
Shi Tao naturally advanced easily, and Yin Shuang relied on his ability to evolve, with a little luck that he didn't meet a long-range master, and he was also able to pass the test. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn contrast, Chang Bo is more difficult here.
In all fairness, Chang Bo was born in a martial arts family, has practiced martial arts since childhood, and has a solid foundation, although he is only twenty years old, his internal strength has reached more than five hundred, and he is also considered a leader among rookies in the martial arts.
However, there are also many masters who come to participate in the sword debate, and there are many strangers among them, Chang Bo's basic quality is excellent, but the actual combat experience is really pitiful, and he is a little hurried in the face of the ability. But fortunately, he has a calm personality and a solid playing style, stumbling all the way, and finally made it to the finals.
However, Shi Tao guessed that although some of the players who fought against Chang Bo had the ability to win, because of the identity of this Chang Dagongzi, they would always make a few moves to sell Chang Yuandao a face. After all, after this East China Sea Sword Debate, it may be the new Sword Alliance leader.
In any case, today's competition is over, all the players who have advanced, and those who are injured will be helped by special medical personnel, and those who are not injured can also go back to rest and start the finals the next day.
As soon as a few people left the arena, Xiao Lili chattered non-stop, this little girl has been watching the game of several people with binoculars in the stands, and gasps whenever she sees them in danger, making her more nervous than the players. Now that a few people are fine, he immediately opened the chatterbox, especially for Chang Bo, who couldn't wait to strip off his clothes to check if he was injured.
It was getting late, so a few people simply went to the snack street near the stadium to treat themselves. However, when I came over, I found that the place was already overcrowded, and the lively streets were full of competitors and tourists who had finished the race. It seems that everyone thinks the same, and it is human instinct to want to eat after exercising.
A few people found a small stall, which sells the specialties of Liuli Island, mostly seafood barbecue and shabu-shabu delicious. The four of them found a small table and sat down, Chang Bo and Xiao Lili went there to get seasonings and choose dishes, Shi Tao and Yin Shuang were not in a hurry, and stayed to occupy a place.
"Hey, hundreds of years ago, there was also such a martial arts conference, right?" Looking at the various martial artists walking around the street, carrying weapons, Yin Shuang also felt very curious, and couldn't help but ask Shi Tao, "What was it like at that time?" ”
Shi Tao recalled: "At that time, in the martial arts conference, only martial artists participated, and those who used special abilities were considered evil. But at that time, there was no current ability detection technology, so in fact, many martial arts people started with ability. Therefore, at every conference, there will be a lot of strangers. No one else can see why, only I know. ”
"Huh? That's ......" Yin Shuang's thoughts also flew back to a long time ago with Shi Tao: "But won't it be discovered when you use the ability?" ”
"Science and technology are not developed, and human cognition of affairs is not systematic enough......" Shi Tao shook his head: "For example, now, if someone tells you that there is a heavenly palace in the sky and an underworld, you will definitely scoff at it, and you can cite a hundred scientific reasons to refute him." But in those days, people believed in these legends...... It's the same with martial arts, how the ability comes about, what the effect of qigong is, no one can say why, many times, you can only rely on experience to judge. So sometimes, if someone creates a completely new set of exercises with a unique and magical effect, they may be considered to be a stranger who has infiltrated the assembly. And some aliens, because they have been famous for a long time, even if they can't practice qigong at all, people will think that his ability is the effect of unique exercises! ”
"Hahaha......" Yin Shuang laughed: "Isn't that conference a mess, and if you fight, you will accuse 'you cheating', 'I don't', 'you cheat'." It's kind of fun to think about......"
"Joy?" Shi Tao shook his head: "I feel quite cruel...... I remember that it was 700 years ago, or 800 years ago, at a martial arts conference, a young man used his own army-breaking group dragon palm, the effect was to beat the internal force out of the body, forming golden waves of qi to attack the enemy. This move not only has a huge range, but also can control the direction of the qi wave at will, and it seems that there are several golden dragons circling and flying, majestic and powerful. But because this trick was too provocative, and no one had ever used it before, he was identified as a stranger, and finally under the condemnation of martial arts people, he was beaten to death by many masters...... But I know that this kid has no abilities at all, he is a complete ordinary person, and he is a martial arts wizard who is rare in a hundred years. If the dragon palm he invented is handed down, it will definitely be a great martial art of epoch-making significance. It's a pity that this trick has been lost and has become a martial arts masterpiece."
"So miserable?" Yin Shuang couldn't bear to hear it......
"Is this still miserable?" Shi Tao smiled: "In the history of mankind, such absurd things abound, and there are even more miserable ones!" For example, ......" Speaking of this, Shi Tao showed a regretful expression, "For example, the ancestor of the little witch Fei was the first to rely on magical light skills to cross the martial arts, creating a great reputation, and the Fei family has also become a famous martial arts master." Although it was later discovered that they relied on supernatural abilities, it did not affect their martial arts status, and they participated in the martial arts conference every year as usual, but they couldn't compete for the alliance leader. ”
"In the final analysis, what abilities, what qigong, what rules and regulations are just excuses, and the essence of human beings is just to reject things that they are not familiar with and do not understand. In that age of ignorance, it was the fundamental principle of people to keep the original order, even if the order itself was absurd! ”
"I don't think that'......" Yin Shuang shook his head and nodded again: "Or can it be said that it is precisely because most human beings are old-fashioned, stubborn, and ignorant, that there will be generations of great men and sages who continue to break the rules and create a new era!" The essence of human beings is not to be stubborn, but to constantly forge ahead, which is the driving force of human progress! ”
Looking at Yin Shuang's serious appearance, Shi Tao pouted slightly, and then burst out laughing: "Hahaha, it's because there are people like you that I don't hate human beings!" ”
