Chapter 101: Fantasy Martial Arts
In the next fight words and fights, Li Jingxuan and Tang He are not participants, according to Xia Di's initial character assignment, when these two competitions are going on, both of them can only watch nervously in a game, powerlessly waiting for the final results to be announced. Because it is about the fate of everyone, Xia Di and He Chaozhi are also quite hard. However, their opponents are not weak, Shen Qingyan, Jin Yu, and Ling Wutian, although the three of them are not human races, their knowledge is not under Xia Di. They also don't want to lose, so naturally they do their best.
So the two competitions came out, whether it was Xia Di, He Chaozhi, Shen Qingyan, Jin Yu, and Ling Wutian, they all played at a super level. It's just that the final result is surprising. He Chaozhi relied on the blue light two products to meet each other and go up to the west building alone without words, and won the blue light one product Shen Qingyan's mulberry picking and hating Jun are not as good as Jiang Louyue. Won a head start for the Terrans.
However, such a first move did not last long. In the next test, which is said to be Xia Di's best fighting scripture, he was defeated by the Kraken. Although in Li Jingxuan's opinion, Shen Qingyan and the others defeated Xia Di by using the way of sophistry, and they simply couldn't get on the stage, but in the eyes of most people and the judgment of the rules of heaven, Xia Di, who couldn't answer, did lose. This is a fact that cannot be changed.
How could it be...... How could I lose? I am known as the master of Jingyi, how can I be?
Failing in a place that he thought was impossible, such a blow made Xia Di a little distracted. If it's just a simple failure, then that's it, but this is not the case with the current failure. Xia Di's defeat ruined the results of the previous two efforts of Li Jingxuan and He Chaozhi, and he made the score of the two sides even again.
The result of 2 to 2 made Wendou's competition have to enter the last game. This is the last of the whole competition, and it is also the most test of the practical application of Confucianism and Taoism in the way of governing the country. This competition will determine the outcome of the entire cultural fight.
"It's all up to you! After Xia Di's irreparable defeat, He Chaozhi found Li Jingxuan's hand and clenched it eagerly.
"Don't worry! We won't lose this battle. Li Jingxuan assured seriously. Beside him, Tang He, who also heard He Chaozhi's plea, had no other words, and nodded heavily.
"I'm sorry, it was my mistake that delayed the battle until now. Now only your victory can free us from the entangled of our enemies for a while. It stands to reason that I, the general of the defeated army, will not be long-winded. Still, as an old man, I have to warn you. After entering the Phantom Array, Jing Xuan must be the main of the two of you. Jingxuan was in charge of government affairs, and the Tang River launched an attack...... Do you understand?" Maybe he heard their voices, or maybe he felt the burning fighting spirit in them, Xia Di also collected his mood at this time and walked in front of Li Jingxuan and Tang He, and gave them a final admonition.
This exhortation was both a reminder and a lesson from his experience. After all, Tang He is just a general, and he is good at fighting, but he is completely bad at things other than fighting.
"I understand!" Listening to Xia Di's instructions, Li Jingxuan seriously agreed. He also knows what his weaknesses are. Although he had used the modern weapons he had imagined to defeat Xiao Jingxue and the others in his phantom array, and won a victory, he would never think that he was militarily stronger than Tang He because of this victory. People are self-aware, and Li Jingxuan naturally knows that he is a rookie, so he agrees with Xia Di's instructions and hands over all martial affairs to Tang He.
Let Tang He lead the troops to fight, Li Jingxuan has no objection to this, but he still has some doubts in his heart: "Xia Shi, why don't you and the brother of the court play in this battle? You are all officials of the imperial court, you should be more familiar with government affairs or something." ”
"Hehe, I just wanted to hone in on you, but I didn't expect the situation to develop to this point. Alas...... This is also a miscalculation. Xia Di told the truth, but the meaning of his words made Li Jingxuan a little unhappy.
"What! Wouldn't that treat me as a spare tire!" Li Jingxuan's face sank, and the unhappiness in his heart naturally stopped talking.
However, no matter how unhappy it is, it can't be changed, and this competition is the fact that Li Jingxuan and Tang He participated. After all, the names of the two of them have already been reported.
On the Terran side, Li Jingxuan and Tang He competed, while on the Kraken side, Jin Yu of the Demon Clan and Shen Qingyan were the human traitors.
Such a configuration made Li Jingxuan slightly stunned, "Is this also a combination of one culture and one martial arts? No, it should be a combination of two civil and military pairs." At the very least, Jin Yu is a genius of both civil and military methods. This is inevitable, with the long life that the demon clan is born with, no matter how much Jin Yu attaches importance to literature and is proficient in Confucianism and Taoism, it is impossible to give up his cultivation above Taoism. As the second prince of the Fire Raven clan, he must have experienced many battles, and his command level in battle should not be underestimated.
"Alas...... It's not easy to fight. Li Jingxuan understands this. However, he did not have any timidity. After the referee announced the start, he pulled Tang He to the middle of the Phantom Formation Table.
There are two Phantom Array Platforms on the Wen Arena, both of which are the result of the transformation of Phantom Array Magic. These phantom array artifacts were all obtained by the Kraken from the refiners of the human race, and they were continuously improved and refined by the ancient illusion path. Its effect is very simple, that is, to generate a certain scale of illusion according to the pre-set scene template, to train the generals and officials to govern and command the army.
Because it's just a magic weapon, the illusion generated by the phantom array is still "realistic" in terms of environmental simulation, but it is a little dull in the simulation of the creatures in it. Such rigidity, coupled with some other problems that belong to the setting itself, makes the "realism" of the illusion much worse. However, this is not a big deal, after all, as long as the corresponding logic can reflect the ruling command effect of the generals and officials, it is enough. As for the "real" or something, everyone doesn't care much about it.
In short, after Li Jingxuan, Tang He, Shen Qingyan, and Jin Yu all stood on the Phantom Array Stage, Mingxuan Zhenren and Min Lanzi played a legal decision to activate the Phantom Array Stage. The eight spirit stones located above the eight obtuse angles of the Phantom Array Platform suddenly rose in the air. The white mist was generated between the rune lines on the Phantom Array Platform, quickly obscuring the bodies of the four people. After that, countless slender rays of light shot out from the array, and they intertwined to form a pattern of light and shadow, outlining a map pattern on the white mist - obviously this was the projection formed by the world in the phantom array.
"Brown is the land, blue is the water, green is the forest, gray is the mountains, and the light green is the swamp...... Hey, this fantasy scene is really complicated. Looking at the projection formed on the white mist, Xia Di's brows furrowed tightly. At this moment, the worry in his heart was even more: "Such a complex terrain, with Li Jingxuan's ability...... Can he do it? You know, on this map, there are not only enemies and enemies, but also more neutral forces and cities in the wilderness. These cities and forces may become your helpers or enemies. Whether it's friend or foe, it's all up to them - it's a mess for them. ”
After listening to Xia Di's words, He Chaozhi also understood what his master was worried about. He knew that his uncle's worries were very reasonable, but Li Jingxuan and Tang He had already stepped on the battlefield, and they couldn't retreat and change people no matter what. These people must be here to watch Li Jingxuan's performance at this moment, which cannot be changed. Since it can't be changed, it can only be accepted. In no way, He Chaozhi could only comfort Xia Di like this: "Uncle Shi, I think we still have to believe him! Jing Xuan is a person who is very good at creating miracles." Although he said this, he himself did not believe it.
Miracles, that's a good accident. But if accidents are so easy to happen, is it still called an accident?
"Alas......" Thinking of this, He Chaozhi sighed heavily: "Although the hope is very slim, you must not lose no matter what." At this moment, he secretly prayed. Although he himself understands that such prayers are basically impossible to do, but there is no way, and now is the most critical moment.
Xia Di and He Chaozhi's anxiety, Li Jingxuan and Tang He didn't know at all at this moment. As a half-dreamy and half-awake feeling of dizziness gradually passed, Li Jingxuan and Tang He both opened their eyes. They stood up from the cold ground, looked around, and found that they were no longer on the Phantom Array Stage, where everyone was watching, but on a slightly dilapidated hall.
I saw that this hall was a little cold, and the walls painted white with quicklime not only had gray-black stains, but also a trace of cracks. There were many flags on both sides of the hall, and these flags seemed to be a little damaged, and they were all leaning there weakly at a glance, without a lively appearance.
"Where is this?" Li Jingxuan's head was still drowsy, and he patted his forehead heavily with his hand, and finally sobered up a little. And this sobriety made him see the somewhat broken and crooked forehead hanging on the wall in front of the hall. He understood the ten big characters in the big book on his forehead: "The mirror hangs high", and he immediately understood that the place where he was the place of a public court.
"Where is this?" asked Li Jingxuan again.
"Don't worry!" Tang He's voice sounded behind Li Jingxuan. Li Jingxuan hurriedly turned his head and found that his friend was also gently rubbing his temples.
"Are you alright?" asked Li Jingxuan in a low voice.
"It's okay!" replied Tang He in a low voice. Li Jingxuan could see that he wanted to laugh, but his own discomfort made the muscles on his face stiffen slightly, but he couldn't laugh, and he looked a little embarrassed. It's just a small thing, though. At least, Tang himself didn't take this situation very seriously.
"Don't worry!" Tang He said again. At this moment, his spirit seemed to be better, and his words became more sonorous. He said to Li Jingxuan: "Think about it carefully. The basic information about this place has been recorded in your mind by this phantom array. ”
"Recorded in my mind?" Hearing Tang He say this, Li Jingxuan hurriedly closed his mouth, and he began to think about it. As he recalled, a stream of information appeared in his perception.
This is an experimental place, which is used to test who has the most governance and command ability, whether he or the people on the Kraken's side. The map is very large, roughly divided into north and south. There are many deserts and forests in the north, and swamps and waters in the south...... A mountain range like a sleeping dragon and a wide river divide the entire map, separating the north and south of the map from the Kraken. The Kraken is located in the north of the map, and itself is located in the south of the map.
This is the "Pingzhou City", a dilapidated small city in the south, located in the lower reaches of the Long River, close to the sea. Due to the spread of the remaining branches of the mountain range, the land around Pingzhou Castle is uneven, and there are not many places that can be used for large-scale reclamation. And there are not many people available in the city, so it is obviously not a good place to be a base area.
However, since Li Jingxuan and Tang He were placed in this place, this city can be regarded as a novice city for Li Jingxuan and Tang He.
According to the rules told to him by the system, he must use this as the center to develop his own power and eventually conquer the nine cities on the entire map.
"Nine Cities...... One is the one under our feet, and the other is the actual city where the Kraken temporarily lives on the other side. As for the remaining seven, all of them were neutral or hostile cities. They surround the newbie city of both participants, so we can't spot each other in the first place and then kill each other. Li Jingxuan thought so. At this moment, he also felt that such a large map was not conducive to his development.
"In other words, we're going to have to take our time. After Li Jingxuan understood this truth, he immediately clicked on a panel in the void according to the prompt in his head. This panel clearly lists some basic information about the city at Li Jingxuan's feet:
Pingzhou City (isolated county seat)
Population: 37,890/190,820
Soldier: 500
Morale: Low
City Defense: Dilapidated
People's livelihood: withering
Business: Withered
Agriculture: Deserted
Law & Order: Extremely poor
People's heart: chaos
"Tsk...... These numbers are really bad enough. Looks like we've got a bad deck. Li Jingxuan pursed his lips and said to Tang He. At this moment, he also understood his identity in Tanghe - Li Jingxuan, the Taishou of Pingzhou City, and Tang He, the Governor of Pingzhou City, this is the identity that the two of them have now. (To be continued.) )
