Chapter 32: Martial Arts Tournament (I)

The day after Meng Siao convened all the people to finalize the details of the martial arts conference, there was suddenly a group of people distributing leaflets in the capital, the suburbs of Beijing, and even in the counties, townships, counties, towns, and villages thousands of miles away.

The leaflet is not exquisite, but a very simple piece of white paper with the words -

"On the 24th day of February in the Shengming calendar, a seven-day martial arts conference will be held in the largest martial arts hall in Beijing, "Dragon and Tiger Gate"! But anyone who can enter the top 10 will get a huge reward! Welcome to the martial arts hall to sign up for the cultivation of the body realm, and the registration deadline is the 23rd day of the Shengming calendar. ”

Then, there's a long list of rewards that will make anyone who sees the flyer drool.

What are the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, that is only the lowest in this list, that is, the nine-grade level, and it can only be ranked in the lower middle of this leaflet. And at the beginning of the list, it is directly "a piece of emperor-level heart water jade, weighing three taels and seven coins".

The heavenly and earthly treasures of the emperor rank are all taken out as rewards, how domineering this is!

After the emperor-level heart water jade, it is a general-level masterpiece, a general-level mid-level product...... There is a dense and dense list, then it is the turn of the human rank, and then a long list, then there is the ninth rank, and finally the eighth rank and below.

Most of the people who got this flyer have seen the best things in their lives are only seven or eight grades, and on this flyer, this is simply the bottom of the line. Looking at the numbers with the words "thirty handles" and "twenty-two" at every turn, even fools can see that these treasures they think are unattainable, but in the eyes of others, they are just rubbish.

For a while, all the people who saw this flyer were excited, excited, and enthusiastic!

As long as you can get into the top 200, you can get a five-pin, if you enter the top 100, you can get a seven-pin, and in the top 50, you can get a nine-pin!

It was almost completely unconsiderable, but anyone who cultivated to be above the Forging Body Realm immediately prepared dry food, packed clothes, and then rented the best horses from the local post station, and went straight to the Jingshi without looking back.

This was only the first morning of the leaflet after it was made and distributed, and by the afternoon of that day, some places thousands of miles away from Beijing had already seen leaflets with these contents everywhere. The ink on some of the leaflets hadn't even dried yet, apparently only recently printed by a local bookstore.

Then, without any suspense, in the villages, towns, counties, and towns thousands of miles away, all the monks who had read the contents of this leaflet and had cultivated to the realm of forging the body also packed their clothes and dry food, ran to the post station to rent the best horses, and rushed to the direction of Jingshi overnight.

On this first day alone, all the horses available for rent were rented out at the post stations within a radius of 10,000 miles from Beijing. Some of the horse sellers in the horse market were so happy that they couldn't even close their mouths on this day. They hadn't been able to sell a few horses for a month or two, but today they were all sold out, and those buyers rarely even bargained with them, basically they quoted a price, and then the other party led the horses away with the silver, and it was very neat and tidy.

Of course, this was before these horse market merchants saw that flyer.

When they left the horse market with the silver in their hands and prepared to go to the local Fengyue place to have a good time, some of them saw the leaflet.

Without exception, all the horse market merchants who saw this leaflet burst into tears and beat their chests in the next moment! They finally knew why their business was so good today, and why these guests who came to buy horses were so bold and generous, and they didn't even bargain, and just led the horses away with the silver!

It's all because of this flyer!

The worst thing printed on this leaflet also has a five-grade grade! And a casual five-grade piece can be exchanged for ten horses in their hands! After all, the horses sold by these horse market merchants cannot be of the level of the Northern Xinjiang Dragon Horse, and if they can have a first-grade or second-grade horse, they can already be regarded as high-grade BMWs, and they will not be sold unless they are sold at a large price.

Who is more stupid than anyone in this world?

Only then did these horse market merchants realize that none of these people who came to buy horses today were not the big ones who were wronged by the water and fish! People were shrewd! As long as they were able to enter the top 200 at this martial arts conference, they would be able to earn a five-grade piece! Compared with the five-grade goods, a few taels of silver to buy a horse were nothing!

But, I see, it's too late!

All the horses they had in their hands had been sold in the horse market! Now, even if they wanted to try their luck in Jingshi, they no longer had any horses in their hands!

What are you kidding? Tens of thousands of miles away, even if a person who cultivates the physical realm and focuses on physical training, it is impossible to complete this journey of tens of thousands of miles in three or four days! Even if the person on foot can really arrive before the 23rd hour, how can the consumption on the road these days be made up for in one night?

These horse market merchants regretted and were annoyed, and the silver in their purses, which they had been so proud of, now felt like a silent mockery and ridicule.

There were many people who just slapped themselves on the spot, and then took advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark and the city gate had not been closed, and ran in the opposite direction of the capital division like crazy.

There are no horses left here, but farther away, the news will not spread so quickly. If you're lucky, you'll be able to buy a horse!

......

On this day, within a radius of 10,000 miles from Beijing, countless similar and different stories happened at the same time. It's just that Meng Wushao, the initiator of this qiē, doesn't care at all, and in fact, he doesn't have to worry about it at all.

His group of gentlemen who were slapped in the face on the Yanshan Spring Hunt every year were almost to the point of madness in their devotion to this matter.

The Dragon and Tiger Gate of the Martial Arts Hall has been completely closed to the public since last night. The soldiers of the Yamen in Gyeonggi surrounded the martial arts hall and did not allow anyone to approach it at all.

Liu Xiaobie took a group of dog legs from the Dingxi Palace, and began to make various arrangements in the martial arts hall overnight. Shi Long, the hall master of the Dragon Tiger Gate, is also a powerhouse of the Condensation Realm, but at this moment, he can only nest in the back garden of the martial arts hall and drink alcohol, and his depression is self-evident.

The Condensation Realm is indeed powerful, but this strength has not yet reached the point where it can confront the imperial power head-on. And although Liu Xiaobie is a gentleman, he is also the nephew of today's saint and a proper relative of the emperor. His father, Liu Qiantuo, the king of Dingxi, is to replace Meng Tuotu, the "Marquis of Zhenbei", who has been missing for many years, to guard the northern frontier for the Dali Dynasty, with a million troops in his hands, to destroy a martial arts hall owner in the Condensation Realm, it is simply too easy.

"Dad, drink too much. ”

Behind Shi Long, a young man called him softly.

Shi Long turned his head and saw that it was his youngest son Shi Zhongyu, so he immediately smiled bitterly, patted the stone bench beside him and said, "Come, sit down." ”

Shi Zhongyu sat down according to his words, glanced at the empty wine jar that had been lined up in a circle on the side, and suddenly said, "Dad, you feel very aggrieved, don't you?"

Shi Long smiled bitterly and shook his head, but did not respond.

"Actually, this is not necessarily a bad thing for our martial arts hall. Shi Zhongyu said, "If it is done well, it can greatly enhance the reputation of our 'Dragon and Tiger Gate'!"

Shi Long glanced at him and smiled bitterly: "Do you think Dad won't be able to see the opportunity in this? Dad just felt depressed." After years of penance, he broke through the Condensation Realm, but in the end, he was still no match for a word from the disciples of the Jingshi. Hey......"

Shi Zhongyu seemed to be able to understand the helplessness and powerlessness in his father's heart, he obediently filled Shi Long with a glass of wine, handed it to his father, and comforted him: "Since ancient times, poor literature and rich martial arts, cultivation is even more expensive than practicing martial arts. I still remember when my grandfather was alive, he said: 'Cultivating the four essentials, the wealth and the law, with one of them can be started, and the second can have a small success, and the four are complete, so that you can peep into the road of the strong." "To put it mildly, we have a martial arts hall, but we don't have the 'four wants'. ”

Shi Long took the wine bowl handed by his son, drank it dry, and said with a wry smile: "After all, this is the inheritance handed down by the ancestors, and now let a group of gentlemen do such nonsense, my father is panicked!"

"Dad, why do you bother with this. Instead of being unwilling, it is better to cooperate with them happily and make this martial arts conference lively and vigorous. It would be best to beat the reputation of our 'Dragon and Tiger Gate' out, and it would be best if we could take this opportunity to establish the top position of our martial arts hall in the dynasty!"

Shi Long didn't take it seriously at first, but as he listened, his eyes suddenly lit up: "The No. 1 Martial Arts Association in the World?"

Shi Zhongyu clapped his hands and said: "If it can really be done, then our Dragon and Tiger Gate will definitely be in history!"

"Okay! It's a big deal, Daddy's old face is out!" Shi Long slapped his thigh violently, wiped a handful of his son's head dotingly, and then disappeared into thin air as soon as his body moved.

In the courtyard of Meng Wushao's Mansion of the Protectorate, Meng Siao was doing the eighth set of radio gymnastics of his era.

His cultivation had already broken through to the ninth level of the Qi Induction Realm at this time.

After returning from the gluttonous workshop last night, he closed the pass a little and refined those Yuanyang Pills and those two Guyuan Pills. As expected, after refining these pills, he ran the Foundation Building Technique, and it only took him less than ten hours to successfully break through to the ninth level of the Qi Induction Realm.

This breakthrough, coupled with the casual slap in the face at the gluttonous workshop last night, increased his Dawuzun points by another 1,500. If this was before going to Tianwu Pavilion, Meng Siao would definitely be excited for a while, but after the Tianwu Pavilion group sneered and swiped nearly 30,000 Great Martial Venerable points, Meng Wushao didn't feel anything about the newly added 1,500 Great Martial Venerable points.

He didn't exchange this newly obtained Great Martial Venerable point for anything, he just used it as a reserve. Now, there are still a total of 6,500 of his Great Martial Venerable Points left, and when he breaks through to the Forging Body Realm, he will first raise the alchemy technique and mechanism technique to the human level, and then to the general level.

"One-two-three-four, two-two-three-four, three-two-three-four, change your position, and do it again......"

When Meng Xiaoshan came to report with the stone dragon prayer post, Meng Siao was doing the stretching exercise. Meng Xiaoshan looked at the young master's martial arts that were not like martial arts, and the seal was not like the movement of the seal, and he didn't know what he was doing, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted and handed over the name of Shi Long's request to see.
