["If I order you as a member of the Gonglian team not to reveal the rest of the conversation to others?"]

The tragic destruction of the ancient mirror gate shook the rivers and lakes a lot, and the triennial martial arts conference was held in Wudang, which should have been an unprecedented martial arts event, but now it is also a lot lonely.

Wudang Mountain is guarded by soldiers from the state and county within a radius of 100 miles, and anyone who wants to enter Wudang Mountain, whether it is a warrior or a spectator, must go through strict verification.

Of course, the focus of the inspection is on the warriors.

Since the end of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, Chen Jian expressed his idea of wanting to participate in the martial arts conference to Cai Gong, Cai Gong warmly recommended him, and his master Tian Yan was also willing for Chen Jian to go to Wudang Mountain, but even with the guarantee of two Wudang disciples, Chen Jian still lived under the mountain for three whole days, until the officers and soldiers were convinced that he had nothing to do with the destruction of the Ancient Mirror Gate before letting him go up the mountain.

Wudang Mountain looks different from the outside, Chen Jian thought that the mountain would also be very quiet, unexpectedly lively, travelers, merchants, and warriors from all over the world gathered together, no wonder it took so much time to verify the identity.

"Chen Jian!

Cai Gong was about to see through his eyes, he saw Chen Jian's figure, and hurriedly stood on a high place and shouted.

"I finally let you come up," Cai Gong said, "It's not a secret, Master Tian also specially said hello to the people below." ”

"I see. ”

Chen Jian felt that those people's attitudes had changed a little quickly. No matter what, he was also a martial artist who had been to Xie Lingyuan before the destruction of the Ancient Mirror Gate, how could he not be suspicious?

He couldn't help but worry that there might be someone with a heart who would pass the review through acquaintances like him—although this matter was not in his hands.

"You'll have to get familiar with your opponent quickly. ”

"Huh, I have an opponent?"

Chen Jian didn't expect things to progress so quickly.

"The martial arts conference will last for a month," Cai Gong knew about Chen Jian's amnesia, so he explained the rules of the martial arts conference to him in detail, "but not everyone is eligible to participate in the martial arts conference." ”

Chen Jian nodded. Of course, otherwise thousands of people will compete until the Year of the Monkey?

"Starting the day after tomorrow, the qualification selection will be held in Shannan. The selection method is very simple, the 3,200 warriors who are willing to participate in the competition will be divided into about 30 groups, each group of 100 people, all of them will start at the same time, and climb the steep mountain called Sand Falls with their bare hands, and the top five will be qualified for the competition. ”

In the end, one hundred and fifty people were elected. ”

"That's right, it's usually a little bit more than that, because there are ties, but not more than two hundred. ”

Cai Gong explained while taking Chen Jian into the bustling mountain town in Wudang.

"Those who qualify will be drawn by lot, divided into north and south districts, and then the two in the district will be duel, and then the cross-district duel, through a round of competition, the winner will become recognized as the strongest martial artist in the martial arts, and at the same time receive the winner's reward - to the capital to receive the bronze stone crown given by the Son of Heaven himself. ”

"Are there any restrictions on the contestants, such as the elders of each sect?"

"Honorable Warriors are not allowed to participate. Because Rong Xia Ke is a martial artist recognized by the imperial court, the imperial court does not allow them to participate in the competition, so as not to cause serious damage to the martial arts. ”

Chen Jian nodded.

Huang Fuqing has always regarded himself as a chivalrous guest, is it because he wants to participate in the martial arts conference?

He originally wanted to ask Cai Gong if Huang Fuqing had participated in the martial arts conference, but thinking that the deceased had gone, it was better not to ask so much.

"So your first opponent is Sand Falls. Cai Gong pointed not far away, crowded with people, "Right there, there are already many people studying how to climb up as soon as possible." ”

Chen Jian looked up.

It was a cliff about 200 meters high, and fine grains of sand were constantly flowing down from it, like a waterfall. A red rope was placed around the sand falls, presumably to tell the contestants that climbing was forbidden.

"Every gang attaches great importance to the right to host the martial arts conference, because each qualification selection is determined by the host gang," Cai Gong told him, "All the Wudang disciples have practiced climbing the Sand Waterfall. ”

"Isn't this cheating?"

"Of course not," Cai Gong shook his head seriously, "First of all, every time it is held, there will be a sect disciple who benefits, which is fair to everyone, and besides, the experience of previous sessions tells us that the sect's self-determined selection method will not affect the final result, because it is a very basic content, if you can't even fight for the qualifications, let alone get the first place." ”

Chen Jian thoughtfully: "Have you also practiced?"

"It takes me a moment or so to go up – no one is going to do that. ”

Cai Gong still practiced climbing the sand waterfall when he first entered the martial arts a few years ago, and now that the times have changed, his skills have long been different, he estimates that he only needs half a moment to go up, if he does his best, maybe he can be faster.

"How long do you think you'll take?" he looked at Chen Jian, thinking about not being in a group with him.

With Chen Jian's strength, there is no doubt that he can qualify, in other words, one of the five qualifications has been taken away.

"I haven't tried, I guess it's about the same as you. Chen Jian replied conservatively.

"There is no skill in going up," Cai Gong felt that it was unfair that only he knew how to climb easily, so he passed on his experience to Chen Jian, "The main thing is to pay attention to the flow of Zeqi, and put the strength on the sand flowing down, not the mountain itself." ”

Chen Jian understood.

This is equivalent to running on a treadmill while he has to exceed the speed at which the track retreats.

"It's a pity that I don't let me practice now, otherwise I can try. "Cai Gong regrets.

"What good is it if I get the first prize?" Chen Jian asked.

"The benefit? Being personally rewarded by the Son of Heaven is a matter of glory to the ancestors! How many people want to get this honor. ”

Cai Gong looked at Chen Jian with unbelievable eyes, even if he had amnesia, how could he not even understand such a simple thing.

Chen Jian realized that his concept was very different from that of the people of this era, and he nodded in agreement.

He's not thinking about winning the title right now.

Winning the championship meant going to the capital, which was contrary to his idea of not wanting to see the princess. What is more important now is to investigate who Bian Li is.

Chen Jian suddenly remembered, isn't there a big living person in Wudang around him?

"By the way, do you know Bian Li?"

"Bian Li...... Bian Li, I've heard this name, he seems to be my senior. ”

As the new generation of Wudang, Cai Gong doesn't know much about the affairs of the previous generation, and only knows a few elders who have a good relationship with his master Tian Yu.

"I can help you ask. ”

"Not necessarily. ”

Bian Li is not a well-known person, if Tang suddenly asks for his information, it may attract people's attention, Chen Jian doesn't want to startle the snake. Since he is Cai Gong's senior, Cai Gong himself doesn't know him, which means that this person named Bian Li should be many years older than him, and he is likely to be the same generation as Tian Yun.

Chen Jian decided to visit Tian Yu in person next.

After wandering around the mountain town with Cai Gong for half an hour, the two separated, during which Chen Jian asked Tian Yan's residence, and with the help of his keen senses, Chen Jian quickly found a small house hidden in the mountains and forests.

Tian Yu is practicing his sword. Since the battle of the Dragon King, he has been using martial arts to relieve his sorrow, and when he heard footsteps in front of the hospital, he stopped his movements and looked at who was visiting.

"Chen Shaoxia, I don't know that you have come up, you are disrespectful. ”

"Where's the word, thanks to Senior Tian. ”

"Hey, that kid says everything. Tian Yan smiled disapprenosingly, "Why did you come to me?"

"You should know that I'm from Gong Lian's team. Chen Jian no longer hid it.

Tian Yu nodded seriously.

After the reputation of "beheading Shenwei" was transmitted back to Wudang, the top management of Wudang immediately made a judgment on Chen Jian's identity, and now the disciples of Wudang all know that he is a member of the Gonglian team, and the head Zhang Shenghan specially held a short meeting for this purpose, asking the hall masters to treat Chen Jian "properly".

As for how to "properly", the head did not say clearly.

"I'm going to ask you some questions next, will you tell anyone else about them?"

Tian Yan didn't want Chen Jian to throw such a tricky question as soon as he came.

After much deliberation, he replied, "I don't know, it depends." ”

"If I order you as a member of the Gonglian team, not to reveal the rest of the conversation to others?"

Chen Jian changed his cordiality just now and became cold and decisive, which made Tian Yan a little uncomfortable.

"Well, I'm not going to tell anyone. ”

Chen Jian understands that this sentence is a stopgap measure for both parties.

"Bian Li, do you know this person?"

"Bian Li......"

Tian Yan actually felt a little disappointed, Chen Jian laid down so much, and actually asked that person.

"He was dead, assassinated. ”

He's dead?

"When?"

"Three years ago. ”

"Three years ago? at the same time as the Thousand-Hand Poison Girl. ”

"They have nothing to do with each other, Bian Li died in the capital. ”

No, they have a relationship, it's just that you don't know about it.

"Murderer?"

"I don't know. But...... Ross was with him at the time. ”

- Ross is lying!

Wen Qingyun's voice echoed in his ears.

"It's Rose again......" Chen Jian felt that it was necessary to have a good talk with him, "Is it possible that Rose killed him?" ”

Tian Yan shook his head.

"Why can't it?"

"Rose, it's his disciple. ”

"So there are rumors that Rose killed his own master. ”

"That's all nonsense, they have a good relationship, and Rose was hungry and cold, and it was Bian Li who saved him. ”

Tian Yan originally wanted to tell Chen Jian about Ross blocking the sword for Bian Li, but it didn't seem necessary to think about it, if Chen Jian didn't believe in the relationship between them, no matter how much he explained, it would be nonsense.

"Where is Ross now?"

"It's in Wudang Mountain. Tian Yan said a direction, "He is the protector of the Dharma, it is difficult for you to see him." ”

"I'll figure it out. Chen Jian said, "What else do you know about Bian Li, why was he assassinated back then, and was he a feud with someone?"

"I have very little contact with Bian Li, he is from Zonghengtang, and I am from Zhenwutang. Today's rivers and lakes are not the kind of fighting and killing more than ten years ago, and now they all pay attention to harmony, if they are really enemies, I am afraid it was many years ago. ”

Chen Jian didn't agree with Tian Yan's statement, but he didn't bother to argue, he continued to ask, "What does Zonghengtang do?"

"Coordinate relations with the various sects and the imperial court. ”

To put it bluntly, it's diplomacy.

Bian Li was assassinated in the capital as a diplomat, perhaps some sects killed him based on political considerations, and it seems that we must first understand the purpose of his entry into Beijing.

"Is he going to the capital with Rose? or are there a lot of people?"

"I don't remember it, but their entry into Beijing doesn't seem to be a big deal, and you have to ask Rose for details. ”

If he's willing to tell you. Tian Yu meditated.

"Thank you seniors for your advice, the juniors have taken their leave. ”

Tian Yan didn't know much about Bian Li, and Chen Jian didn't want to waste any more time, so he hurriedly took his leave, followed his guidance, and hurried to Rose's residence.
