There was only one way up the mountain, and Chen Mingdao saw Zhao Wenqi and Wang Shi who were going up the mountain from a distance, so he stopped at the narrowest part of the mountain road and waited for Zhao Wenqi and Wang Shi condescendingly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Second Senior Brother. Zhao Wenqi and Wang Shi also had to be honored by Chen Mingdao.

"Are you going to meet the master?" said Chen Mingdao condescendingly, as if in this way he would be able to be one level higher than the others.

"Yes. ”

Chen Mingdao looked at Zhao Wenqi and frowned slightly, and asked, "What are you looking for Shizun for?"

Zhao Wenqi smiled and said, "Naturally, something is wrong, senior brother, do you still have to ask about something?"

Chen Mingdao snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with Zhao Wenqi's answer, turned his face to Wang Shi and asked, "You, what are you doing up the mountain again?"

"Ask the master about the practice. Wang Shi replied honestly.

"What questions can you have?" Chen Mingdao asked disdainfully.

"I want to participate in the Star Picking Ceremony. "Wang Shi has always been very honest and speaks when he has something to say.

Chen Mingdao laughed, thick with ridicule, and the whole mountain was full of ridicule. Chen Mingdao suddenly stopped laughing, and reprimanded sharply: "You have only been practicing for a few days? You actually want to participate in the Star Picking Ceremony! Ridiculous, wishful thinking! You don't weigh how many catties and taels you have, don't think that if you defeat Zhuang Kai, you will be able to see no one in your eyes! Yelang is arrogant! An arrogant thing like you should continue to stay in Lujiao Mountain and chop wood!"

"Senior brother, don't you think what you said is excessive?" Zhao Wenqi interrupted Chen Mingdao's words and stood in front of Chen Mingdao and said.

"I don't think so. Chen Mingdao glanced at the scenery in the distance and said lightly. Chen Mingdao didn't dare to confront Zhao Wenqi, because Zhao Wenqi had far surpassed him, and now the only thing he was better than Zhao Wenqi was the second senior brother.

The sound of ridicule still echoed in the mountains and did not dissipate.

Chen Mingdao is telling the truth, but it only increases the element of ridicule.

But ordinary people can't accept this kind of ridicule, let alone people with high self-esteem, let alone hot-tempered people.

Wang Shi didn't get angry, but smiled.

Chen Mingdao glanced at Wang Shi and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Wang Shi kept a smile and looked at Chen Mingdao without answering.

"I'm asking you what you're laughing at!" Chen Mingdao forced his gaze at Wang Shi.

Zhao Wenqi ignored Chen Mingdao, because he was no longer as good as Zhao Wenqi. But Wang Shi can't ignore it, in Chen Mingdao's eyes, Wang Shi is not even as good as a dog, he has always been very disgusted with Wang Shi, as soon as Wang Shi went up the mountain, Chen Mingdao assigned Mu Chen to find trouble with Wang Shi, not because of anything else, just because Wang Shi and Zhao Wenqi were too close. Even if Wang Shi performed amazingly in the competition with Zhuang Kai, he was still a scumbag of anger, and Chen Mingdao could still easily trample him to death.

Wang Shi stared at Chen Mingdao and said clearly: "Second Senior Brother, I don't know if you dare to bet?"

Chen Mingdao turned his head and continued to look at the scenery in the distance, as if he hadn't heard Wang Shi's words, and didn't answer.

"If you win, I will chop wood in Lujiao Mountain for the rest of my life, and I will never go down the mountain!" Wang Shi's words were loud.

"Okay, what are you going to bet on?" Chen Mingdao immediately turned his head to Wang Shi and asked.

"Second Senior Brother, what do you think I will rank in the Star Picking Ceremony?"

"Bottom three!"

Wang Shi stared at Chen Mingdao and said word by word: "Let's bet - can I win the first place in the Star Picking Ceremony!"

"It's a deal. Chen Mingdao blurted out.

"Wait, what if you lose, senior brother?" Zhao Wenqi asked.

"I'm going to lose? Joke! You say the conditions are good!"

As soon as Wang Shi was about to say his own conditions, Zhao Wenqi immediately grabbed Wang Shi, bowed his head and said a word to Wang Shi, Wang Shi immediately laughed, Wang Shi said: "If Senior Brother loses, Senior Brother needs to promise me to do one thing, Senior Brother will definitely be able to do this!"

"Okay, what's the matter?" Chen Mingdao hurriedly asked, as if he was afraid that Wang Shi would regret it.

"I'll mention it when the bet is over. ”

"It's just right not to mention it, it's a waste of tongue to save it. You just have to remember what you said!" Chen Mingdao finished speaking to Wang Shi and walked down the mountain.

Wang Shi and Zhao Wenqi looked at Chen Mingdao's back and couldn't help laughing.

......

Su Changbai raised a piece of bamboo, which was verdant all year round, and he spent most of his time standing quietly in front of these bamboos, doing nothing, just standing quietly, occasionally taking a scoop of water and sprinkling it on the bamboo leaves, quietly listening to the sound of the wind blowing the bamboo leaves, and observing the changes of the bamboo leaves.

Sometimes Su Changbai is like a bamboo, without any words, just standing quietly. It's as if everything in this world has nothing to do with him, and the only meaning of his life is to quietly watch this bamboo forest.

The mountain wind blows, and the bamboo leaves are dashing.

The ancient bronze bell rang, and several birds flew.

Su Changbai stood in front of the bamboo forest for a long time, and Wang Shi and Zhao Wenqi waited at the door for a long time.

"Do you have something?" Su Changbai seemed to have just discovered Wang Shi and Zhao Wenqi.

"Master, I want to participate in the Star Picking Ceremony. ”

"Then just participate. ”

"I want to be number one. ”

"Go down the hill and sharpen your sword, sharpen your sword. ”

"Yes, Master. ”

"Is there anything else?"

"It's okay. ”

"It's okay, stay and eat?"

"Yes, Master, the disciple is retiring. ”

For such an answer, it can be said that he touched the ashes of his nose, and Shizun said nothing, leaving Wang Shi still confused.

......

Zhao Wenqi took Wang Shi to a spring at the foot of the mountain, and there was a big stone next to the spring. The stone is the size of two grinding discs, with a large depression in the middle, much like a whetstone. It is rumored that there was once a person in Donglai Mountain who used a large knife one zhang long, and he used this stone to sharpen the knife.

"Big brother, Shizun asked me to sharpen my sword, I don't understand. ”

"I don't understand, do I? Master asks you to sharpen your sword, and you will sharpen it. Zhao Wenqi was also at a loss.

"How can sharpening a sword be useful?"

"Shizun asks you to grind, you can grind, then there is so much nonsense!"

"Good, good, I'll grind. Wang Shi took out the green sword, dipped it in spring water, and sharpened it on the stone.

Zhao Wenqi thought for a long time and said: "You made a bet with the second senior brother, and if you lose, you will have to stay in Lujiao Mountain for the rest of your life." ”

"I know. ”

"You're not afraid?"

Wang Shi continued to sharpen his sword, picked up the sword and tried the blade, and then continued to sharpen the sword.

"What about you?"

"Big brother, are you afraid of death?"

"Afraid of death?"

"I'm not even afraid of death, how can I be afraid of this?" Wang Shi suddenly said extremely seriously. "Big brother, do you know why I can win Zhuang Kai?"

"Faith?"

"I told myself, I can't lose to anyone, anyone, big brother, can you understand?"

"It's such a simple belief that is enough to support you in defeating Zhuang Kai?"

"It's such a simple belief! Big brother, even if it's against you, I don't want to lose!" "There is a kind of magic in some people's words, which can make you believe in him unconditionally and irrationally, such people are born kings.

Zhao Wenqi nodded and said, "Idiot, you read too many books and become an idiot! You don't want to think about your own strength? If you want to win the first place in the Star Picking Ceremony, you need to be at least the level of the third stage of Qi Condensation Realm. Your sword skills are indeed very weird, and you also have an aura that ordinary people don't have, but these advantages are only effective for a beginner disciple like Zhuang Kai. Not to mention anything else, if you meet someone who only uses hidden weapons like your fourth senior sister, you will lose as soon as you play. ”

"Big brother, you can help me!"

"How can I help you? Master has shown you the way-sharpen your sword!"

Wang Shi could only continue to sharpen his sword.

Zhao Wenqi said suddenly: "You try to slash me with all your might." ”

"Good. Wang Shi stopped sharpening his sword.

Wang Shi stood three steps away from Zhao Wenqi, clenched the green sword with both hands, and maintained the posture that he was about to draw the sword.

Zhao Wenqi stood in front of Wang Shi, looking light-hearted, as if he didn't take Wang Shi in his eyes at all.

Cool outside the mountain style by the stream.

Zhao Wenqi saw a red fish jump out of the water, bringing up a series of water droplets, and the sunlight was reflected colorfully. Both this scene and the breeze are very comfortable, and this kind of scene is perfect for closing your eyes and resting your mind.

Zhao Wenqi only had this moment of distraction.

Wang Shi's green sword slashed over.

Three steps away, Wang Shi stepped over in an instant.

Zhao Wenqi's heart skipped a beat.

Yangui knife method!

A strand of hair fluttered down!

Wang Shi was gasping heavily. Although there is only one knife, this is a knife with all his strength, and the fatigue of cutting this knife is no less than a big battle with Zhuang Kai. Wang Shi needs to explode in an instant, draining all his spiritual power in an instant, just like a water outlet draining all the water in a pool in an instant, the pressure of doing so can be imagined, this can be said to be Wang Shi's strongest sword.

Zhao Wenqi looked at his falling hair and pondered. If Wang Shi is in the same realm as himself, I am afraid that he has been cut in half by Wang Shi! Wang Shi's grasp of the timing is too terrifying, it is hard to imagine that people in the same realm may be able to avoid his knife, Zhuang Kai lost to Wang Shi and lost unjustly.

"You've improved, and I must admit that you're ten times stronger now than before, but your sword skills still need to be improved. ”

Wang Shi continued to gasp heavily, and after a long time, he slowly sat down and said, "I know. ”

"Do you know how to improve?" Zhao Wenqi asked.

"I need to string them together, and slashing one by one is too passive and too tiring. ”

"Well, if you can string together your sword techniques, it will be very powerful, and if you can enter the third stage of the Qi Condensation Realm again, then you will have the hope of winning the first place in the Star Picking Ceremony. If you can learn the Wind Resisting Technique again, you have half the chance of winning the first place. ”

"I know. ”

"But you only have a month. ”

"I know. ”

"You need to think about it! Okay, I'm leaving, you must know that my goal is also to be the first in the Star Ceremony. Zhao Wenqi smiled at Wang Shi.

"Let's go, don't send it. Wang Shi didn't even raise his head.

......

The night is not cool, and the wind has stopped.

There was silence all around, only the sound of spring water tinkling and sword sharpening.

Wang Shi had already sharpened his sword with spring water for a long time, and the sword was so sharp that it couldn't be sharper anymore.

Wang Shi stopped sharpening his sword, carefully studied the sword and looked at the whetstone, and involuntarily practiced his sword technique.

It's really not easy to use a sword as a sword, but fortunately, Wang Shi has only just practiced, and the difference doesn't matter.

It was very difficult to string together the Yangui knife technique, so difficult that Wang Shi had to stop and gasp for breath every time he passed a stick of incense. Yangui knife method requires full dedication, every muscle in the body must be involved, must be tightened, there are meticulous requirements for the angle and strength of the knife, and more importantly, the coordination of spiritual power, each knife is a knife that consumes all Wang Shi's spiritual power and spirit.

As long as this knife is cut, no one will be able to block this knife, which is the requirement of the Yangui knife method.

The spring water kept ringing, and Wang Shi's sweat kept dripping.

The night is getting cooler and the sky is getting brighter.
