Chapter 45: The Contest is Silent
(a)
At this time, two rows of lower immortal disciples outside the Pure Sky Hall stood facing each other neatly.
Kong Ming stood at the front and said in a deep voice to the disciple beside him, "Sheng He, distribute the wooden sword. β
The disciple named Sheng He shook his eyes when he heard this, and turned to face the crowd. I saw him calmly raise his hands to the sky, and dozens of wooden swords came out of thin air in an instant. The next moment, the wooden swords in the air turned and flew in an orderly row in front of everyone.
Bai Hua glanced sideways at Sheng He, his face full of admiration, "This Senior Brother Sheng He is quite powerful." β
After speaking, he reached out and held the wooden sword floating in front of him.
Hey, it's been a long time since I've used a wooden sword!
Bai Shi put the sword behind him, poked Bai Hua with his hand, and whispered: "If this Senior Brother Sheng He performs well in this year's Heavenly God Festival, he will definitely be able to ascend to the Immortal Dao Division next year!"
Bai Hua habitually touched his chin and nodded, "I see." β
While the two were talking, Kong Ming whispered to everyone in front of him: "Today is the first time that the preparatory disciples have entered the Pure Sky Hall to practice swordsmanship, in order to test the cultivation results of the lower immortal disciples and the preparatory disciples, today it is up to you to learn from each other." β
What? This means that the preparatory disciples have to compete with the lower immortals? That's thanks to that, there are only four preparatory disciples, and there are more than 20 people here, right?!
Bai Hua looked at the opposite side while holding grievances for the preparatory disciples, but he didn't know that he just met Hongling's eyes, Bai Hua smiled politely, and Hongling still returned with white eyes.
"Old man Kongming said that he wanted the preparatory disciples to compete with the lower immortal disciples, but in fact, he wanted to use the hands of these outstanding preparatory disciples to fight against those lower immortals who were not successful. Bai Shi looked at Bai Hua meaningfully, and asked tentatively, "Senior Brother Xiaobai, how are your swordsmanship?"
Swordsmanship? It's not comparable to others, but at least it should be better than you! If you really want to fight, you can't run away from most of the people.
Bai Hua glanced sideways with disdain, but when he turned to Bai Shi, he showed a timid expression again, and said weakly: "Eh, my swordsmanship is very bad." β
Shiraishi shook his head sympathetically, and kindly reminded: "If your swordsmanship is very bad, you will admit defeat early in a while." Otherwise, if you meet Senior Brother Sheng He, you will die a miserable death. β
This naked threat aroused Bai Hua's interest, "How can you die?"
"Senior Brother Sheng He, he kills people without blinking. Shiraishi deliberately lowered his voice to create mystery.
This metaphor is so interesting, people who come here to concentrate on cultivation can still kill red eyes?
Bai Hua grinned evilly, and he lowered his voice as well, and said, "Indeed, I'm so afraid." However, I don't seem to be a preparatory disciple. β
Shiraishi had been dreaming for a long time at this time.
That's right, Senior Brother Bai Hua is not a preparatory disciple!
A lower immortal disciple couldn't bear it anymore, so he took half a step forward with his fists in his hands, and said in a loud voice in the direction of the four preparatory disciples: "Lower Immortal Chen Zhi, I am here to wait for my junior brother and sister to ask for advice." β
The formal disciple was the first to speak out and take the lead, but he had a long face. Kong Ming smiled with satisfaction, pursed his lips and smiled, and then turned to look at Hongling.
Hongling understood Kongming's eyes, and steadily waved towards Chen Zhi, "Hongling came to ask for advice!"
As soon as the words fell, the disciples in both rows all took more than ten steps back, and after forming a circle, they all sat upright on the ground, ready to take a closer look.
Bai Hua sat cross-legged, supporting his chin with one hand, and leisurely squinted at the two people who were slowly approaching with swords not far away.
"Senior sister, please!" Chen Zhi waved his eyes half-hung, with a disdainful smile, and said towards Hongling.
Hongling also smiled at him, and then clenched his fists and bowed his head in return. Just looked up the moment, the smile on his face had been retracted and clean, his eyes were full of determination and confidence, and he walked towards Chen Zhi with his sword.
The rapid change in his expression made Chen Zhi stunned, and by the time he could react, Hongling was already approaching him. Chen Zhi flexibly held his sword and stood to the side. Unexpectedly, Hongling's agility didn't give Chen Zhi any respite at all, but in an instant, the victory and defeat were quickly separated.
Chen Zhi was half lying on the ground, and Hongling held a sword against his chest. There were applause all around, Hongling raised his head, and a smug look on his face was revealed.
Chen Zhi got up and shook towards Hongling, but when he turned around, his face was a little unbearable after all.
Bai Hua covered his mouth and yawned, his eyes were also filled with moisture, and he looked like he didn't care about himself, and sighed to himself: Oh, I knew that today was a competition to see people, so I should bring a few fruits. It's so proud to have won one.,Hey.,It seems that it's time to show your feet.γ
"Senior sister, please advise. Chen Zhigang retreated, and another senior brother who couldn't hold back his itchy hands got up and walked towards Hongling.
Hongling happened to be full of momentum at this moment, so he nodded in return. The two had another sword competition, but that senior brother only lasted a short time longer than Chen Zhi.
The two senior brothers were defeated one after another, and some of the people who watched the excitement couldn't help but have their faces sunk, and only a few people applauded.
Hongling stood in place with a sword straight at his waist, smiling and sweeping it again. There are many people who have been swept over.
Kong Ming was still standing with his hands down, but his face was not very good-looking. Originally, I wanted to frustrate the spirit of these lazy disciples on weekdays today, but I didn't know that these two pustules were defeated before they could reach twenty moves.
The so-called competition made Bai Hua feel sleepy with satisfaction. One hand softened, and another hand continued to support his chin, yawning one after another.
Bai Hua rubbed his eyes, shook his head slightly, and regretted: Hey, isn't there anyone among the immortals under the Shamen who can handle it this night?
"Senior Sister Hongling, in Xia Shengli, please give advice. At this moment, a burly senior brother slowly got up and walked steadily towards the Red Ridge.
After carefully looking at this Sheng Li's figure, Bai Hua's heart trembled suddenly, and his sleepiness disappeared in an instant. That's a bit stronger, isn't it? This guy is really frighteningly tall. It seems that the Red Ridge is going to suffer.
In the blink of an eye, Sheng Li was already standing in front of Hongling. There was a sudden darkness in front of her, and her height was two heads taller, giving her a great sense of oppression. Hongling couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and the hand holding the wooden sword was already a layer of moisture.
"That's Sheng He's younger brother, and he's also powerful. Well, Red Ridge looks a bit hanging. Bai Shi explained to Bai Hua.
Bai Hua took the opportunity to look at Sheng He, who was thin not far away, and then looked at the tall and burly Sheng Li, who didn't find out what they looked like brothers for a long time.
Hongling pursed his lips, took a few steps back, pretended to be calm and bowed to Sheng Li and said, "Senior Brother Sheng Li, please!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hongling looked up and saw that Sheng Li, who was only six or seven steps away, had already arrived in front of him. His eyes flashed, and before Sheng Li's sword could stab him, Hongling turned around flexibly and took a few steps back.
Bai Hua sat up straight and became interested. Now it seems that Hongling has something to play.
In the next moment, Sheng Li waved his wooden sword without changing his face and pressed towards Hongling step by step. At this time, Hongling had been overwhelmed by Sheng Li's strong attack, and a series of quick attacks made her struggling.
Sheng Li didn't give her any respite, pressing step by step, and the offensive won wave after wave. But even so, Hongling gritted his teeth and struggled to resist the sword momentum sent by the other party again and again. The next moment, with Sheng Li's loud shout, Hongling fell to the ground in response, and the wooden sword beside him was also broken into two pieces.
Everyone's eyes shrank, and the shock in their eyes could no longer be described as shock. Then, one after another cheers resounded all around.
Long face, Senior Brother Sheng Li is really a long face for the Immortal Disciple! Bai Hua couldn't help but admire the applause of everyone.
Sheng Li stretched out his hand and pulled Hongling up, although she was unwilling at the moment, it was natural to lose to her senior brother.
Hongling clenched his fists and bowed towards Sheng Li. However, the next moment there was a flash of light in his eyes, and then he turned around and came to Bai Hua, and arched his hand: "Bai Hua, why don't you have a discussion with Senior Brother Sheng Li?"
After speaking, there was an evil smile on his face.
(b)
Doing things, you're obviously doing things!
Bai Hua rubbed his forehead, and was about to politely refuse, but Sheng Li walked over, waved at Bai Hua, and said, "I don't know if Senior Brother Bai Hua can have a discussion with me." β
Doing things, Sheng Li, why are you here to make trouble?
The corners of Bai Hua's mouth twitched, and he glanced at the empty sound in the distance. However, Kong Ming is also smart, at this critical moment in the garden, he actually chatted with Sheng He on the side, completely deliberately avoiding the eyes of asking for help.
"Senior Brother Bai Hua, go quickly, I'm optimistic about you!"
"Senior Brother Bai Hua, I'll cheer for you. β
"Senior Brother Bai Hua, it's okay, Senior Brother Sheng Li is very kind. β
There was another commotion all around, and Bai Hua looked at Sheng Li with a sincere and simple expression in embarrassment, and slowly got up. Just as Bai Hua got up, Hongling turned around and walked towards Ruan Wan with a satisfied smile.
Just as Bai Hua got up, there was another deafening cheer.
Oops~ What are you howling, what are you coaxing? nonsense~
The two walked to the center of the cultivation ground one after the other, Bai Hua looked at the wooden sword in his hand with a puffed face, and picked his waist again with a deflated face.
Sheng Li was a little angry when he saw that she looked like she had no intention of competing, did he disdain him, or did he not want to compete?
Sheng Li didn't bother to guess, and directly held his sword and hugged his fist towards Bai Hua, "Senior Brother Bai Hua, please." β
Bai Hua laughed even more embarrassed when he heard this, "Hehehe, Senior Brother Sheng Li, please also ask your subordinates..."
Bai Hua's eyes flashed sideways with his sword, and then he bent down and shook towards Sheng Li's back. But Sheng Li saw this feint in his eyes, and then as soon as his front foot arrived, he immediately turned around quickly and walked towards it with his sword. Bai Hua calmly greeted him, and in an instant, the two wooden swords met in a narrow way.
Although it has only been more than ten moves, the swordsmanship of the two is comparable. Everyone around them dared not come out, for fear that they would be shocked by this spectacular scene as soon as they made a sound.
The two of them held their swords for a while, only to see the wind blowing up and flying the petals of the locust trees on both sides, and in an instant, the ink silk and clothes of the two people facing each other in the cultivation field flew for a while.
Sheng Li exerted some strength again, and this terrifying force forced Bai Hua to hold the wooden sword and lean back little by little. Bai Hua frowned and gritted the crown of his teeth, holding the sword in both hands and trying his best to fight against it.
"Xiaobai, stop it, otherwise it will be exposed!" At this time, a secret sound came into Bai Hua's ears.
Bai Hua woke up like a dream, and just as he was about to stop, the two wooden swords broke together.
Bai Hua rolled his eyes, and immediately tripped with his left foot and threw himself on the ground with his right foot.
Everyone looked embarrassed, but this happened too quickly, and Sheng Li beside him also looked at Bai Hua on the ground in a daze for a long time without reacting.
Bai Hua sat on the ground, covered his right hand, and said to Sheng Li: "Senior Brother Sheng Li's swordsmanship is good, Bai Hua admits defeat." β
This direct admission of defeat caused everyone to be in an uproar again, Sheng Li immediately reached out and pulled Bai Hua up, shook his head and explained: "Since the two swords were broken at the same time, we will have a tie today." Senior Brother Bai Hua, good skills!"
Ouch, don't boast, how can you go back now if you praise me~
Bai Hua cried with a sad face, and just wanted to wave his hand, but at this time, Sheng He walked towards the two of them with a sword, "Senior Brother Bai Hua, can you learn from Sheng He?"
Bai Hua's big head turned his face, and he happened to see Hongling, who was looking at him from the side, and his face was stunned.
Hongling, you hurt me!!
"Senior Brother Sheng He, I, I actually twisted my wrist just now. Bai Hua slowly stretched out his right hand with a painful expression.
Sheng He looked disappointed, this hand can't be forced, thinking of this, Sheng He smiled and said to Bai Hua: "Otherwise, let's make an appointment and compare?"
Bai Hua rubbed his wrists, and the raised green tendons on his forehead also hurt. This unrelenting posture, it seems that it will not take time, and I am afraid that I will not be able to leave today.
Bai Hua pursed his lips, embarrassed: "Otherwise..."
(c)
"Xiaobai!"
This faint call made everyone turn their heads to look at the door in unison.
Bai Hua was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the door.
"Netherworld, why are you here?" Bai Hua couldn't hide his excitement as he spoke.
Netherworld glanced at the empty sound that was coming in the distance, and whispered to Bai Hua, "Help you out of the siege." β
βKusai Jun Small Theaterβ
"Do you want to be ashamed?" Bai Shiyi shouted at Cao Xijun at the top of his voice.
Cao Xijun looked dazed, "Why am I shameless?"
"Run a trick, you run every chapter, I don't have a high appearance rate as you. Bai Shiyi looked dissatisfied.
Cao Xijun smiled embarrassedly: "Face, forehead, this thing, that thing, it depends on the situation." β
