Flying pigeon news, today's headlines. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
News in the area: Liu Tao and other members of the god-killing squad died mysteriously, and the bodies were found five kilometers away from the imperial capital, and now the god-killing squad is investigating at the scene. A person familiar with the matter said that Liu Tao had a verbal conflict with Hewaja Buckley, the eldest son of the Nest, at Princess Purple Kite's birthday party. Wang Chao did not respond to this.
School information: After the rumors of challenging the Iron Rider next month, Bai Yu, a freshman, once again did something unbelievable, and he agreed to have a kendo duel with Gu Duanchuan at the third training ground at three o'clock this afternoon. Both sides are forbidden to use abilities in a duel, until the point ends.
The news of Feige, the largest media organization in No Man's Land, is very humane, and their news communication in various places is divided into two parts. One part is the news of the entire no-man's land, which is in charge of the headquarters of the flying pigeon stationed in the imperial capital. The other part is local news, which is not leaked except for local dissemination, and is the responsibility of the local branch of the flying pigeon.
However, the head of the flying pigeon branch of the bridge school, Loyer, took off the headphones, she stretched, picked up the voice recorder, brought the camera, and was about to go out.
"Wait a minute, boss, where are you going?" Her assistant asked.
Loyle said: "I went out for an interview, I haven't been out for half a year, so I always have to go out to breathe." This afternoon's race was a lot of fun, and I ran errands once in a while! β
"Boss, you're going out like this?"
Royle wore a pair of heavy, blue-rimmed glasses, and her hair was loose like a chicken nest, with the ends of her hair left at the waist. She is wearing Pikachu one-piece pajamas and looks like an otaku girl.
"That's it, I'm leaving!" Royle curled up her long hair, put on her pajamas and hat, and staggered out the door.
"Boss, your press card ......" The assistant found the press card that Loyle used to pad the coffee cup, and was about to stop her, but found that Loyle was gone.
Forget it, it's okay not to get a press card, let everyone know that the person in charge of our Naihe Bridge School Flying Pigeon Branch is like this, and I really can't afford to lose this person.
However, was the boss holding a voice recorder just now?
There is still an hour before the start of the game between Bai Yu and Gu Duanchuan, and some students have already begun to come to the training ground with the mentality of watching the excitement. Bai Yu and Xiao actually came to the audience early, Xiao actually looked around idly, and Bai Yu was holding his umbrella in a daze.
There are two kinds of battlefields in the Nahe Bridge School, one is the training ground where Bai Yu is located, imitating the style of the Colosseum in ancient Rome. The training ground is divided into three floors, the lower floor is a circular combat platform, the middle floor is the spectator seat, and the top floor is sheltered from the wind and rain. The top floor is a hollow ring, so if you watch the game here, you can only stand.
The other is an arena with particularly complete facilities. Although the style and structure are largely the same as the training ground, the arena is completely enclosed and not open-air, and there are protective measures between the spectator seats and the battle platform. Since the arena is much larger than the training ground, spectators in the back row may not be able to see the battle platform, so there are also four screens above the arena that show the battle in the arena.
Xiao actually woke Bai Yu up from his daze, and he said, "What are you thinking? β
"Me? Oh, I'm thinking about my father's intention to leave this umbrella, a very poetic name that doesn't fall from the rain. Bai Yu said.
Xiao Jing said angrily: "I'm not asking you this, what I want to ask is, why did you duel with Teacher Gu Duanchuan?" As a kendo teacher, his own attainment of swords can be ranked in the school, even if he doesn't use ability, he is still very strong. β
Bai Yu said: "It's nothing, no matter how strong Teacher Gu Duanchuan is, he can't be compared to you." We fight next month, I can't lose. The auction in the imperial capital, I must go. β
"Actually, I can let you, or help you go to the headmaster to intercede. I'm not afraid to hit you if I say it, you can't help but be a little self-conscious, whether it's for me or to Teacher Gu Duanchuan. β
Don't you know what you can do? If this word is to describe you and me, I reluctantly admit it. But if it is replaced by Mr. Gu Duanchuan, the winner is undecided.
Bai Yu didn't answer Xiao Jing's question, he held his umbrella and closed his eyes. The umbrella reminded him of many things from the past.
Split the sword, split the sword, split the sword!
Before repeating the cultivation of the ice wall, Bai Yu also often repeated the action of splitting the sword. He knew some simple Xuanhuang ancient swordsmanship basics, and he used to be bored at home alone after school, so he repeated sword practice.
Stabbing swords, splitting swords, hanging swords...... And so on and so forth, but after all, there are many times to practice sword splitting.
As a child, he waved his father's umbrella and was extremely impatient. He cried and fussed, pestering Bai Haori.
"Dad, what I want to learn is the swordsmanship learned by the neighbor's big brother, the clothes are good-looking, and the sword is also good-looking, so don't learn this kind of thing!"
Bai Haori coaxed him with candy and said, "It's better to learn Japanese swordsmanship than to learn the swordsmanship left by our ancestors." Each of our actions has a profound ...... Forehead...... Significance. Our sword is the sword of righteousness, which is used to help the weak and the little to be called great heroes. The sword that the neighbor's big brother learned was a sword that kills, and that was a bad guy, a murderer. β
"I'm sorry, I apologize for Japanese swordsmanship......" Bai Haori turned his head and whispered, and then raised his voice again: "Do you want to be a big hero or a murderer?" β
"I want to be a hero, not a murderer!" Bai Yu raised his small fist, righteous and awe-inspiring.
"However, if you repeat this action every day, can you really become a big hero?" Bai Yu asked.
Bai Haori said seriously: "If you practice a simple move a hundred times, a thousand times, and practice it perfectly, it will become a trick." No matter what school of swordsmanship, it is composed of basic movements, there is no one-size-fits-all trick in the world, and departing from the foundation is to break the foundation of the sword. β
"Besides, we don't just practice one movement, we have to practice eleven movements!"
Eleven moves, eleven moves, I remember. But, father, I have a question that I don't understand. I'm a murderer now, can I still be a hero?
"Hey, Xiao Jing, you're also here to watch the fun?" Someone came to Xiao Jing's side and greeted him with a big grin.
Xiao Jing responded with a smile on his face: "Oh, look at the excitement, it's interesting!" β
"Haha, the same as I thought. I also wanted to see the excitement, and I wanted to see what Bai Yu looked like who dared to challenge the strongest knight iron horse. But my girlfriend suddenly called and asked me to accompany her to go shopping, she brought her girlfriend, do you want to go with her? The man said.
The man couldn't stop talking: "If you want me to say, that Bai Yu just wants to hype himself up and make himself famous in school." Challenging the Iron Rider? If you don't know what you can do, Teacher Gu Duanchuan will be able to cut him. β
"You don't know how many people in this audience are waiting to see Bai Yu's joke!"
Xiao actually got up and pushed the man away, and said with a smile: "Let's go quickly, your girlfriend will die when she is in a hurry." Later, if your girlfriend's best friend is beautiful, you're going to be my wingman! β
The man said: "Definitely, what a good relationship between the two of us, a waste material duo, limited ability, unlimited happiness!" Although your stepping ability is good, you are not my match after all......"
"You go first, wait for me over there, and I'll say a few words to my roommate."
Xiao Jing said to Bai Yu: "It doesn't matter if you win or lose, but don't force yourself." I won't know your tricks in advance, so that our fight will be fairer next month. I'll go first. β
Until Xiao actually left far away, Bai Yu didn't open his eyes. He was very safe and calm, and he found that after he got his father's umbrella, it seemed that his mentality had changed somewhat.
When I was an ordinary person, I had no parents, no special skills, ordinary appearance, and average grades. After I entered the no-man's land, I became a weak and capable person, and I thought I was going back to the mediocre life of the past.
But with this sword, I felt like I had grasped somethingβa sense of forgotten familiarity.
