Volume 1 Falling into the Darkness Chapter 52 The Book of Engagement in Front of the Small Courtyard
In the past half month, Bashui City has not been very calm.
A talented young man named Qin Chuan won ten wins on the first day of entering the martial arts arena, and then he sang all the way, like a bamboo, and the first time he was injured was in the forty or so games, and he met Han Meng, who was famous in the martial arts arena and could hide the sword.
Since defeating Han Meng, this young man named Qin Chuan has never stopped, and on the second day, he stepped onto the stage again, almost frantically challenging for a higher streak.
Fifteen days have passed since the first day that the boy with a shallow scar on his forehead stepped onto the stage of the martial arts arena, and the number of consecutive victories has quickly climbed to eighty-two in just fifteen days, making him the participant with the fastest increase in the number of matches since the establishment of the martial arts arena.
In the past few days, the streets and alleys of Bashui City, pawn vendors, are all talking about this young man named Qin Chuan.
The most sparse is the medicine hall Yi pharmacist who is full of water.
Listening to the insider's story, Pharmacist Yi said in person that this Qin Chuan has the posture of impacting a hundred victories, in order to be worthy of his eyesight, Pharmacist Yi has bet on Qin Chuan many times in the martial arts arena casino, so he has made a lot of money, and recently he has been smiling all day long, revealing his row of old teeth.
There were also gamblers from the casinos in the martial arts arena who came forward to confirm the truth of these words, and also said that they bet on Qin Chuan behind Yi Yaoshi, but they won a lot of crystal coins.
These things, those who don't see is believing, don't know, half-believe it, but what they know is that in the past few days, this Yi pharmacist is often not in the medicine hall, and it is estimated that he may have gone to the martial arts arena to bet.
The matter of Yi Yaoshi, the civilians of Bashui City don't know whether it is true or not, but Qin Chuan, who is vividly rumored, cannot be faked, the record of the martial arts arena, it was fought in one battle after another, the knife is bloody, and the scars are scarred step by step, and the audience full of people is now victorious, and adulteration is not tolerated.
Just when the city was talking about Qin Chuan, who had broken the fastest rise in the history of the martial arts arena, there was another incident around the martial arts arena that shocked Yicheng's jaw.
In the past two days, Qin Chuan was extremely leisurely, and did not go to the battle platform of the martial arts arena again, but locked himself in the small courtyard that had been postponed many times, and closed the door to concentrate on cultivating vitality.
It's also quite helpless to say, after Qin Chuan won eighty-two games, he still wanted to continue, but the manager of the martial arts arena came to inform him very apologetically, and there were no participants who were willing to participate in the battle for the time being.
It is also strange that Qin Chuan's record in the past fifteen days has soared so frighteningly, so that those participants who originally wanted to win a few more games would rather avoid the edge for the time being, and not try it easily.
Under the boredom, Qin Chuan is not good to sit in the martial arts arena every day and wait, so he simply returns to the small courtyard and devotes himself to cultivating for a few days.
In the past two days, with enough glazed yuan crystal support, half of the space of the third yuan cave can accommodate the yuan qi, and the light color of the yuan qi shaped like mist is floating in the yuan cave, but Qin Chuan is extremely curious about what this misty yuan qi will become if he uses the cold yuan water.
There is a military camp outside Bashui City, and there are 10,000 Bashui troops in the camp, which belong to Bashui City and are also established in Bashui City. There is a person in the camp, named Zhou Yating, who won the first place in this year's fourth-order sergeant competition of the city guard army, and is now a 100-person commander of this Ba water army.
This Zhou Yating couldn't bear it since he heard the words sent by the young city lord Liu An a few days ago to inform him, and hurried back to Bashui City after a few days of hurrying back to Bashui City after finishing the affairs at hand. No, early this morning, this Zhou Commander entered the city gate of Bashui City and went directly to the City Lord's Mansion.
The news of this year's fourth-order first person of the city guard army returning to the city can't be concealed from the deaf and clear-sighted civilians of Bashui City, this week Yating stepped into Bashui City from the city gate, and before he entered the city lord's mansion, the people who are full of good things in the city know that Zhou Yating and Zhou Commander have returned.
You must know that every time the battle of victory in the martial arts arena is fought by the first-order person of the fourth-order of the city guard, this year's first-order first-order person is Zhou Yating, does that mean that he came back for the battle of hundred wins?
But if you think about it carefully, even Qin Chuan, who has been talking all over the city recently, has not yet won ninety-nine consecutive victories, and I heard that there has been no battle against him in the martial arts arena in the past two days, so what is it for something else that the commander came back this week? For a while, there were different opinions in the market, and there were all kinds of false news, even those who said that the commander of Zhou had enlarged the belly of the beautiful lady of the good family outside, and now he rushed back to prepare for the three media and six marriages.
Dusk was glowing in the west, and the gate of the city lord's mansion, which had been calm all day, suddenly sounded a sound of footsteps, and a group of more than a dozen city guards headed in the direction of the martial arts arena under the leadership of the leading commander.
When they arrived at the arena, the city guards did not enter the arena, but instead turned into the walled path against the outer wall of the arena, which connected to the small courtyard where all the participants of the Ten Victories could live for a short time.
This group of city guards finally stopped in front of the small courtyard in Qinchuan, and the leading Wu Chang did not look like he had come to ask people about the crime, but was very polite, raising his hand and knocking on the door with the copper ring on the door.
Knock~knock~knock~
Three unhurried copper rings hitting the door panel, Qin Chuan in the small courtyard was holding a piece of glazed yuan crystal that had faded half of the color, and sucked at the vitality inside, and he was a little puzzled when he heard these three knocks on the door, there are few people he knows in this Bashui City, and the medicine hall Yibu Temple has always been waiting for him to come to the door, so who will knock on the door?
After collecting the idle vitality in his body, Qin Chuan got up and went to open the door.
When the Wu Commander at the door saw the person who opened the door, he asked, "But Mr. Qin Chuan, who won eighty-two victories in the martial arts arena the day before yesterday?"
Qin Chuan was first frightened by the city guards at the gate, and thought that he had violated some city rule, or that his blood skeleton killer's body was discovered by the city guards?
If that's the case, it's a dead end. The Blood Skull is deeply ingrained in the Wandao Continent, but the accumulated grudges are not small. I heard that a prince of the Qingyang Empire died at the hands of the Blood Skull in the past, and since then, the Qingyang Empire has awarded a reward to the Blood Skull, but hiding the identity is the first lesson of the killer, so since the reward was issued, I have not seen several Blood Skull Killers die due to their identities being exposed, and more still die in the assassination process.
Even if the probability of being identified is very low, once the identity is exposed to the world, even if he is a novice and has less blood on his hands, there is no way to live.
I'm afraid it's impossible, Qin Chuan has been stuffed in a small courtyard for the past two days, how can there be a chance. It is also unlikely that the blood skeleton can survive to this day when the Wandao Continent is almost hated, and there is a complete set of precautions for the protection of the identity of the killer underneath, unless the killer takes the initiative to spread out, it is difficult to be locked in the real identity.
Neither is possible, and then look at the peaceful face of this Wu Chang who knocked on the door, where does it look like the fierce and brave appearance that should be used to arrest and ask for crimes, Qin Chuan suddenly realized that he was not here to find his bad luck, but more like the attitude of coming to visit.
"It's me, what's wrong?" After Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, he remembered that it was really rude to leave a Wu Chang there at a loss, and hurriedly replied.
After confirming that the person who opened the door was Qin Chuan, the Wu Commander smiled, and took out a square letter from his bosom, which was also stamped with the vermilion seal of the City Lord's Mansion.
"With the consent of the City Lord's Mansion, Mr. Qin Chuan can go directly to the Battle of Baisheng, and Zhou Yating, the commander of the City Guards, is willing to invite Mr. Qin Chuan to the battle platform of the martial arts arena three days later to conduct the Battle of Baisheng, which is the battle letter sent by the commander of Zhou who appeared in the City Lord's Mansion. ”
This Wu Chang respectfully held up the battle letter stamped with the big seal of the City Lord's Mansion in front of Qin Chuan, not close or far, neither high nor low, neither coercive nor difficult.
The afterglow of the sunset is extraordinarily enchanting, spreading the wall path with golden brilliance, and the battle letter with the vermilion seal is dyed with a layer of golden light, which is particularly eye-catching.
Qin Chuan did not immediately take the battle book, but thought about it carefully. This stagnant record made him worry about whether he would be able to fight to a hundred battles before returning to the Blood Skull for the past two days, but now this sudden invitation to the Battle of Hundred Wins made him mutter.
The first person of the fourth order of the city guard army did not want to take advantage of the rank, and pressed himself to the third order to fight him. However, since this battle book has the vermilion seal of the city lord's mansion on that layer, it is naturally guaranteed by the city lord's mansion, and the battle of winning will not be mixed with others, and if it wins, the reward will not be regretted because it has lost seventeen games before.
Qin Chuan thought about it and suddenly felt that he shouldn't think so much about whether he should take over the battle book, he left all his free time for a month in Bashui City, wasn't it just for the battle of Baisheng, for the sake of the valuable cold Yuan Shui.
Pick it up, don't you fight all the first eighty-two games, is it difficult to give up such a good opportunity because the opponent in this last game is a character who sounds quite powerful?
Starting with the battle book with the vermilion seal, Qin Chuan's heart suddenly settled for a while, but then his blood surged again, and the people in Bashui City said how difficult this battle of a hundred wins was, and he wanted to try to add a number to the number of hands in history.
"Since Mr. Qin Chuan has received the war letter, then we will go back to resume our lives. By the way, the young city lord of my family said that if Mr. Qin Chuan takes over the battle book, then after three days, no matter who wins or loses, the city lord's mansion will hold a banquet, and Mr. Qin Chuan will be invited to come at that time. ”
The banquet after this Yum is also a long-standing habit of Ba Shui City, and every time there is a battle of Yum in the past, there will be such a banquet after that.
Young City Lord? Qin Chuan's mind couldn't help but think of the blue-shirted boy he met at the city gate half a month ago, that was the young city lord Liu An.
"By all means, thank you. "Since the young city lord Liu An helped stop Zhong Linyi, who almost took his life, with this kindness alone, Qin Chuan is naturally going to go.
After sending off the team of city guards who came to deliver the war book, Qin Chuan closed the courtyard door, returned to the house, calmed down and continued to consume the glazed yuan crystal. Now that he has received the battle book, he will have to prepare well for the next three days, and the Zhou Yating Zhou Commander who can win the honor of the first person in the fourth order of the City Guard Army must not be an ordinary person, and if he wants to get the cold Yuan Shui, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort.
Regarding the news of any battle in the martial arena, the City Lord's Mansion never hid it, but instead hyped it up to attract civilians, cultivators, and those gamblers to come and watch the battle. Not long after the city guards who sent the war book left, the battle between Qin Chuan and Zhou Yating, the news of the war letter spread throughout the entire martial arts arena, and after another hour or two, the whole city knew about it, which can be said to have shocked the jaws of the people of the city.
