Chapter 113: Jingle (4th & 5th Update)
(PS: Today's last update, two-in-one chapter.) Well... The monthly ticket list is in jeopardy, for a small author like me, to raise so many monthly passes, it is not easy to get to this point, I really don't want to give up, I also feel that everyone has tried their best, but it is really unwilling, please have the ability to help again, okay? Regardless of success or failure, I will continue to update and cheer, thank you from the bottom of my heart. )
"Pavilion Master, why don't we give them something to eat?" The handsome young man looked at the crowd in the distance waiting for the final round of trials to begin, and then turned his head to look at the man sitting on a chair next to him munching on a fat roast duck, and asked cautiously.
The man who ate with a mouth full of grease continued to fight to the death with the roast duck in his hand, and said without raising his head: "What to eat, the food expenses in our pavilion are already tight, half of these people will be eliminated, and they are not from our pavilion, why should they eat?"
The handsome young man was dumbfounded when he heard this, but he secretly thought in his heart: Of course, the funds in our pavilion are tight, after all, half of them have been eaten by you.
And it is especially worth noting that the food here is not a reference to any cup bow snake shadow, but it is what he means on the surface.
"Besides, cultivators, what's the big deal if you don't eat one or two meals? It's easy to gain weight if you eat too much, and how much will it affect the image and majesty of my Sword Pavilion in Great Xia if you get fat?" the man who had eaten so much continued.
The handsome young man raised his forehead and sighed, he really couldn't imagine that when it came to influencing the image of the Sword Holding Pavilion, who else could be more powerful than the fat-headed and big-eared Pavilion Lord His Royal Highness in front of him.
But such thoughts only exist in the minds of young people, and he does not dare to say anything.
"Xiao Zhuo, you are a little more benevolent to the woman, you have to learn from your sister, you see that Nangong Jing's family has a seven-line golden robe, you can look at you again? ”
"At the beginning, your parents handed over your sister and brother to me..."The fat-headed and big-eared man began to chatter, Nangong Zhuo heard this way many times, so that he could not break a word on his back, but he didn't dare to disobey this man, so he could only smile bitterly and nod yes.
At this moment, the man suddenly stopped halfway through his words.
Nangong Zhuo was stunned, turned his head to look at the man, and secretly wondered what made this pavilion master stop his favorite "tireless teaching".
But he saw that his pavilion master was looking at the roast duck with only bones left in his hand, and he was stunned.
The muscles on Nangong Zhuo's face twitched slightly at that time, this was already the seventh roast duck that this man had eaten, and he only took half an hour before and after, and looking at his unfinished appearance, he thought that he would have to come two or three more copies.
Nangong Zhuo had to be cautiously reminded: "Pavilion Master, these are all prepared for the brothers who have worked hard all day, if you finish eating..."
He didn't know what the pavilion master was stimulated by today, and at first he said something inexplicable, and he was angry and wanted to leave, but halfway through the way, he said that there was a guy on the way to the trial who was more eccentric than the little monk before, and he killed it again, and he went to see it in person.
After coming back, he couldn't get along with the roast duck, Nangong Zhuo Ke knew very well that he, the pavilion master, likes to eat when he is angry, and the more angry he is, the more he eats. Because I'm always angry, I eat like this...
It's just that he feels that he can't let this pavilion master eat like this anymore, to say that eating too fat is not good for his health, and to say that if his sister comes back and finds that all the supper she confessed has entered the belly of this pavilion master, he will inevitably get angry again...
And in a sense, Nangong Jing, who initiated the fire, is more terrifying than Xiao Yu.
"What's wrong, you think I'm fat too?" Xiao Yu asked angrily.
"Uh..."Nangong Zhuo's face changed, and he cautiously probed again: "Also?"
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, the look on his face froze, and then he slapped the board in front of him angrily and said, "Why hasn't the last round started yet, do you want to be bored to death the pavilion master?"
Didn't you say you told them to rest for half an hour?
Nangong Zhuo slandered in his heart, but after all, he didn't make such a complaint public, he didn't dare to expose the old background of the pavilion master, so he walked towards the open space not far away.
......
After the previous battle, it was getting late.
Chu Qiuli, who was sitting in the open space waiting for the start of the last round of big competition, touched his rumbling belly, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "You said that this Sword Pavilion is also stingy, forget if you don't eat lunch, and you won't let people eat this dinner, I estimate that in the future, you will be in office here, and the monthly money will be pitiful." ”
Xu Han shook his head helplessly when he heard this, although this matter of not arranging dinner is really a bit unkind, but the identity of this sword bearer can be measured by the amount of monthly money, and I am afraid that there is only one family in the world.
Everyone in the group was also a little helpless about Chu Qiuli's nonsense, and they all laughed and said nothing.
"I know the money, I heard that before coming to the Great Xia, Xiao Han gave you a few thousand taels of silver, but you lost all the money, and you were embarrassed to withdraw the money. But Miss Fang was a figure who couldn't tolerate sand in her eyes, so she mocked at the moment.
This matter can be regarded as a rare black history of Chu Daxia in the past decades, and the face of the big man changed, and he had to fight for it now.
But at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps not far away, but it was Nangong Jing and his party who suddenly arrived.
They lined up in front of everyone at that time, and the heroic Nangong Jing swept his gaze over everyone one by one, and finally said: "You have worked hard today, and the last round of competition will start now." ”
"From today onwards, the winner will be the sword bearer of my Sword Pavilion!"
At the end of the qualifying match, only half of the half-hour rest time promised by Nangong Jing to everyone had passed, when she suddenly announced the start of the competition, and everyone present was somewhat surprised, especially those who had suffered some injuries in the previous competition, such an arrangement was particularly unfavorable for them.
And this is a matter of their future, so naturally some people will raise objections.
This dissent soon turned into discontent and began to spread among the crowd.
As a result, the smile on Nangong Jing's face gradually dissipated, and she stomped her foot violently at that time, and a true yuan burst out from her body, surging towards everyone around her like a ripple, and a cold snort came out of her mouth.
Nangong Jing was only in his early thirties, and the power that erupted at this moment made the faces of everyone present, including those powerhouses of the Great Yan Realm, change one after another, and the divine was shocked by the terrifying momentum in this woman's body.
"This is the Sword Pavilion, so naturally there are rules for the Sword Pavilion. If you obey this rule, you can stay there for the final competition, and if you have any objections, I will not force the Sword Pavilion. ”
Nangong Jing's voice was not loud, but the unquestionable momentum in his tone had obviously indicated an unquestionable position.
Although everyone who knew this was still dissatisfied in their hearts, after all, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, so they suppressed such dissatisfaction and fell silent.
Nangong Jing glanced at everyone present again, and after making sure that no one would speak out against it, a smile immediately appeared on the woman's face: "It seems that everyone is willing to stay, so since there is no objection, let's start the last round of big competition..."
"I have!" But before Nangong Jing's words were finished, a clear voice suddenly sounded in the crowd.
Nangong Jing was stunned, and everyone around him was also stunned, they were all surprised, surprised at who dared to make trouble at this time when Nangong Jing had already said it so clearly.
With this mentality, everyone followed the prestige at that time, and saw a young man with a long sword and his right arm wrapped in a white cloth raising his arm high, as if he was afraid that everyone would not be able to see it, and he deliberately shook his arm to attract everyone's attention.
Most of the young man present knew him.
His name is Xu Han. A young man who made the Li family's palace lose face and let Chixiaomen return with a feather.
Nangong Jing also knew Xu Han, her brows were wrinkled at that time, she didn't like such a prick, she thought that if this Xu Han was really so ignorant, she would definitely use this young man to make an example today, so that everyone could understand that the Sword Pavilion was not an existence that anyone could afford to provoke.
Therefore, she stared at Xu Han with a calm face, and asked at that time, "What's the matter?"
The young man didn't seem to notice everyone's strange gazes at all, as well as Nangong Jing's gloomy face, and there was even a faint smile on his face at that time.
He took a step with a smile, and the bell tied to his right hand jingled with his steps, and it was clearly heard in everyone's ears in the square that suddenly fell silent.
Not far away, Lu Houde and the others narrowed their eyes, they didn't know what Xu Han wanted to do, but his behavior had obviously offended this big man in the Sword Pavilion.
This, they would love to see.
At this time, Xu Han finally walked up to Nangong Jing, he looked at the woman in front of him with a smile, and asked, "There is a question below." ”
"What's the problem?" Nangong Jing's brows furrowed even deeper, perhaps it was some kind of preconceived notion that made her feel that Xu Han's attitude was a little frivolous at this moment.
"Since it is a real sword and real gun competition, the so-called sword has no eyes, what if there is a human life?" Xu Han still had a smile on his face, but the question he asked made everyone present feel inexplicably cold.
This question was obviously out of Nangong Jing's expectations, she was a little unsure of what this young man wanted to do, but after a slight hesitation, she still responded truthfully: "The sword holding competition is not a death match in the rivers and lakes, and the point is to the end, but if both sides refuse to admit defeat, something unpleasant really happened for this, whether it is life or death, whether it is personal, or the sect behind it, it must not be investigated, otherwise the sword holding pavilion will not be taken into account." ”
Hearing this, Xu Han nodded with satisfaction, and he said with understanding: "That is to say, before one party admits defeat, anything that happens is reasonable, right?"
"Naturally. Nangong Jing responded again, and then asked impatiently, "That's what you want to say?"
It's just that in the face of Nangong Jing's obviously displeased attitude, Xu Han still looked leisurely, he shook his head, and said, "No." ”
"You!" Nangong Jing's face suddenly showed a touch of anger, she felt that this Xu Han was deliberately teasing her.
And just when she was about to reprimand angrily, Xu Han's voice sounded again.
"I want a different opponent. ”
"Huh?" Nangong Jing was stunned again, but this time she quickly came back to her senses, although she was dissatisfied with Xu Han's pretentious approach in her heart, but as the top of the copper list, Xu Han did have such a right. She had to be patient and said in a deep voice, "Who do you want to choose?"
So Xu Han turned his head to look at the people behind him, his gaze swept over them one by one, as if he was looking for a suitable opponent.
And those who were copper stubborns subconsciously lowered their heads, avoiding Xu Han's gaze, in their hearts Xu Han was indeed a terrible opponent, if it was not a last resort, they did not want to be an enemy.
Soon Xu Han's gaze swept over them one by one, but the young man did not make a choice, he continued to scan the surroundings, his gaze crossed the camp of the copper and silver holders, and fell into the gold holdings.
At one point, his hand suddenly raised, and the bell on his wrist jingled with such a movement.
He stretched out his hand and pointed to a figure in the camp of Jin Zhijin, his expression was calm, but his tone was extremely determined: "I want to fight him." ”
......
Lu Houde is in a very good mood.
Although the first round of trials in the Sword Pavilion was strange, with his years of experience, after clarifying some events, he still successfully passed the trial, and Hu Man'er and Xing Zhen also passed this trial later.
The three of them passed all the way and came to the last step, Hu Man'er and Xing Zhen's respective opponents were not particularly tricky, at least they all had a chance of winning more than seventy percent, and Lu Houde could directly enter the Sword Holding Pavilion with a bye.
Although Xu Han's appearance made him a little unhappy, judging from this result alone, at least on the side of the sect, the three of them could be regarded as having completed the task assigned by the sect. After that, they can also get the opportunity to go to the Demon Suppression Tower, which will be of great benefit to them themselves, and may even prompt them to break through the last shackles between the Great Yan Realm and the immortals and ascend to the Supreme Realm.
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Houde was very happy.
Immediately afterwards, Nangong Jing announced the start of the last round of the big competition, and Xu Han, a thorn in his eye, stupidly contradicted this big man in the Sword Pavilion. Such a scene is naturally what Lu Houde likes to see, he was already ready to watch Xu Han, who didn't know whether to live or die, being taught a lesson by Nangong Jing, but who knew that this young man challenged him in front of everyone at that time.
Yes, Xu Hanxuan's opponent is him.
A bronze leader challenges a gold leader, and a junior in the Heavenly Hunting Realm challenges a master who has been in the Great Yan Realm for many years.
These two have never happened in the previous sword master competitions or in the Great Xia rivers and lakes.
Lu Houde didn't expect such a drama, Nangong Jing didn't expect it either, and everyone around him was even more so, even Fang Ziyu and the others were stunned after hearing Xu Han's words clearly, and a look of horror appeared in their eyes. Then the voices of discussion and exclamation sounded one after another at that time, both lamenting that Xu Han's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and mocking Xu Han's people who did not know whether they were alive or dead, but no matter what position they stood on, they were not optimistic about Xu Han's challenge in their hearts.
Because no matter how miraculous Xu Han's combat power and talent are spread by the outside world, after all, he is worthy of the Heavenly Hunting Realm, and it is already shocking to be able to defeat Li Dingxian beyond the realm, if he even defeats this long-famous powerhouse of the Dayan Realm, Lu Houde, I am afraid that such a thing can only be described as a fantasy. At least no one has ever done this in history as we know it.
And just when everyone was talking, Xu Han, who was the initiator of this riot, did not have the slightest self-consciousness, he stared at Nangong Jing, who did not respond to him for a long time, frowned, and asked, "Can't you?"
Hearing this, Nangong Jing finally came back to her senses, she looked at Xu Han with a strange expression, and then looked at the pale-faced Lu Houde, and said with some hesitation: "Since the beginning of the Sword Bearer Competition, there has never been a precedent for the copper executive to challenge the golden executive..."
"But isn't the privilege of the top of the list to choose any opponent you want to choose? didn't you say that people on different lists can't challenge each other, can the rules of the Sword Pavilion be changed at will?" Xu Han suddenly changed his previous amiable attitude that seemed to be harmless to humans and animals, his eyes narrowed, and there was a more aggressive questioning in his tone.
Nangong Jing didn't like Xu Han's tone and attitude, but after all, this matter was about the face of the Sword Pavilion, and she had to be careful and handle it carefully.
"But Elder Lu is also at the top of the Jin Zhi List, and he also has the right to choose opponents, if he..."
Nangong Jing's idea is very good, if Lu Houde uses the same privilege he has and refuses Xu Han's challenge, then the trouble in front of him can be solved. But although such an idea is good, as a powerhouse of the Great Yan Realm, if he is afraid of the challenge of a junior of the Heavenly Hunting Realm, and such a thing spreads, how can Lu Houde gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes?
Therefore, before Nangong Jing's words were finished, Lu Houde's gloomy voice sounded at that time: "Since Gongzi Xu intends to learn from Zaixia, Lu is naturally willing to learn." ”
Hearing this, Nangong Jing couldn't wait to give himself a big slap on the spot, and put himself in his shoes, so if he encountered such a situation, I am afraid that he would definitely not be able to refuse such a challenge in front of the people of the world.
So the ball was kicked back into Nangong Jing's hands.
The woman sighed, stared at the young man who had caused trouble for herself, and then said, "I want to consult the pavilion master about this matter, you will later, it will be difficult for Nangong to make a decision." Then the woman turned and left.
"No, yes. But at this moment, a rough voice suddenly came from a distance, "The winner is promoted to the golden robe, and the loser is demoted from the Sword Pavilion." ”
The rough voice was extremely thick, with a trembling majesty, don't think about it, the owner of this voice is the master of this Sword Pavilion - Xiao Yu.
Only then did everyone come to their senses, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Pavilion Master has been watching here.
"Yes. Nangong Jing also reacted after being slightly stunned, and she bowed respectfully in the direction where the voice came, which was regarded as accepting Xiao Yu's proposal. But after all, the stakes were high, and she still patiently confirmed to Xu Han again: "Are you sure to change your opponent to Chixiao Sect Elder Lu Houde? You can only qualify as a sword bearer by defeating him, if you fail..."
Although she didn't like Xu Han's temperament very much, she had heard of Xu Han's talent, so she patiently explained, hoping that this young man could understand the seriousness of the matter.
It's just that her kindness has not been reciprocated as it should be.
The boy shook his head again in surprise to everyone.
The corners of his mouth were raised, and a smile was bright in his eyes, he said.
"I'm not going to beat him..."
"I just..."
"Kill him!"
