"What kind of case do you need to deal with next week at the 'Remembrance Pot'?" Gu Xu pondered for a moment and asked.

"It's not clear yet," Shangguan replied, "Normally, the head of the division would let us draw a random one that day. ”

"Can Xiao Han also come to participate in this actual combat training?"

Now, Shi Xiaohan, like Gu Xu, is also in the stage of stepping on the steps to climb towards the "Wangxiang Terrace". If she can enter the "Old Teapot" and participate in a tempering between life and death, it will also be of great help to her future practice.

"I'm afraid not," Shangguan Jin shook his head, "The case in the 'Wen Gu Pot' has a danger level. With the dangerous level of this training, only monks with the strength of the fourth realm and above can participate. ”

"But, Shangguan Daoyou, I'm just a Third Realm cultivator......"

"Now, in the entire Luojing City, no one regards you as an ordinary Third Realm cultivator at all," Shangguan Jin glanced at him obliquely, "A person like you who holds a 'famous weapon' in his hand and dares to face the 'fierce god', even if the Fourth Realm monk is in front of you, he may not be able to take advantage." ”

"Okay then." Gu Xu smiled helplessly.

He knew that Shangguan Jin was telling the truth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this time, the bell of Luojing City rang melodiously.

The aftermath is long and enduring.

For a time, it overshadowed the hustle and bustle of cars, horses, and human voices, as if it had become the only sound between heaven and earth.

"The big drama is about to start," Shangguan Jin smiled faintly, "Let's go to the river and get a good spot first!" ”

Hearing her words, Gu Xu turned around and called out to Shi Xiaohan, who was wandering in the middle of the lantern corridor.

At this moment, Shi Xiaohan had already guessed dozens of riddles, and his pockets were full of all kinds of candy.

With her petite figure and her smiling appearance, she is mixed in the children's pile, and there is no sense of disobedience at all.

When Gu Xu called out to her, she immediately ran over on her feet, shouting excitedly, "Great!" It's finally time for this woman to become famous in the battle of Luojing City!

"Gu Xu, where's my 'Kunwu Knife'?"

"Here."

On the way here, in order to facilitate her movement, she temporarily put the "Kunwu Knife" in Gu Xu's "Xianyunju".

Now Gu Xu took out the "Kunwu Knife" and handed it to her. The metal scabbard reflects the lights of Luojing, glowing with brilliant brilliance.

The bell is followed by the sound of music.

In the lantern tower on the riverside, hundreds of women from the Luojing Music Workshop are dressed in gorgeous costumes, or play the dong flute and wooden flute, or play the pipa gonghou.

The cheerful and solemn melody of the music is like a rising air current, which is like a rising air current, and then turns into majestic raindrops, swaying in all directions.

At the same time, a high platform shaped like a lotus flower and carved with intricate hollow patterns rises from the center of Luoshui. Its exterior is painted with gold lacquer and looks dazzling.

Around the high platform, the phantom of the golden dragon of several days can still be faintly seen, hovering in the air.

Gu Xu once learned in books that Luojing City was built by Emperor Taizu of Great Qi many years ago, and it was integrated with the "Heavenly Dragon Great Array".

In every corner of the city, there are potential hidden intricate spell traps and intricate formations.

And the pivot of the "Heavenly Dragon Great Array" is the "Tai'a Sword" in the hands of the Great Qi Emperor.

In this way, when a foreign enemy invades, the entire city will be transformed into a giant defensive weapon in the emperor's thoughts.

Today, taking advantage of the celebration of the Shangyuan Festival, Gu Xu saw the tip of the iceberg of this "Heavenly Dragon Array".

"Shangguan Daoyou, are there any powerful people in the younger generation in Luojing City recently?" Gu Xu looked at the slowly rising platform in front of him and asked Shangguan Jin beside him.

"You," Shangguan Jin said with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, tonight, everyone in Luojing City is waiting for you, the great hero who saved Qingzhou Mansion, to make an appearance. ”

"No kidding. I'm just asking for Xiao Han. ”

"Today's winner can get a lot of money and pills as a reward, Gu Daoyou, aren't you impressed at all?"

"Of course. It's just that before you make a move, you have to understand the situation first. If you encounter a strong enemy that is difficult to defeat, won't you be embarrassed in front of the whole city? ”

Shangguan Jin glanced at him, and his attitude finally became serious:

"If you want to talk about powerful characters, Chu Fengge can be regarded as one. According to his character, if he were here today, he would be 100% the first to rush into the ring, and then challenge everyone in the capital with the help of his 'weed' supernatural power that can restore the true yuan by express, so as to prove that he is the number one in the world in the future.

"However, since hearing about your exploits in Qingzhou Mansion, he was suddenly strongly stimulated and went to retreat in the ashram.

"In addition, I also heard that Zhao Yan from Youzhou also came to Luojing City recently. She also has a third-grade qualification, and her cultivation speed is no less than that of Chu Fengge and Su Xiao of the Sword Pavilion. If she were to make a move today, she would definitely be a strong opponent. ”

"Zhao Yan? Yan Guogong's daughter? ”

"That's right."

Gu Xu had indeed heard of the name "Zhao Yan" before.

She is the eldest daughter of the Zhao family in Youzhou, she has been gifted since she was a child, obsessed with martial arts, and has mastered exquisite marksmanship.

Her spear skills, and the swordsmanship of Su Xiao of the Sword Pavilion, were once known as the "two uniques" of the Great Qi Dynasty.

People like Chu Fengge, who strive to be the number one in the world, have always regarded her as a fierce rival.

In addition, Gu Xu had also heard that this woman was perverse and not easy to provoke.

For some unknown reason, she once broke into the sect of Penglai Island with one person and one gun, challenged dozens of Penglai Island disciples with her own strength, and abolished the cultivation of many people.

Of course, Penglai Island didn't dare to come to her to settle accounts.

After all, the Zhao clan in Youzhou has a saint in charge, and it is like the sky. And Penglai Island has been declining day by day after Elder Sun Pengyi's cultivation of the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique" got out of control, and it has no ability to compete with the Youzhou Zhao clan at all.

It's just that in recent years, because Zhao Yan has been fighting with the army on the border of Daqi, her figure has gradually faded in the memory of Luojing residents.

Unexpectedly, she returned to the capital again today.

Thinking of this, Gu Xu walked to Shi Xiaohan, who was eager to try the "Kunwu Knife", and told her: "Xiaohan, if you encounter an enemy who can't be defeated later, just admit defeat, don't be reckless." ”

"Are you so unconfident in me?" Shi Xiaohan pursed his lips.

"When the female warriors are strong in martial arts, I am naturally very confident," Gu Xu looked down at her and said seriously, "It's just that in today's ring competition, young people under the age of twenty-five can play—there will always be people who rely on themselves to practice for a few more years than others and come here to bully people." ”

Shi Xiaohan let out a "hmm" and nodded.

Although she has a strong personality and is too lazy to use her brain on weekdays, she is actually not a real fool.

Gu Xu explained her with such a serious attitude, and he must have a reason.

At this time, there was a fierce drum beat in the light tower.

A step of stairs descends from the high platform like lotus petals, connecting to both sides of the Luoshui River.

The much-anticipated Shangyuan Ring Competition has finally officially begun.

…………

The first to enter the ring was a young man in his twenties.

He wore a square scarf and a gray and white robe — according to Shangguan Jin, the costume of the students of Longmen Academy.

As soon as he took the stage, he bowed to the surroundings and said, "Jia Xiuguang in Xialongmen Academy, please give me advice." ”

Under the effect of the spell, his voice was amplified so that all the spectators by the river could hear it clearly.

Gu Xu sensed with his powerful spiritual perception that this person was a monk at the peak of the second realm.

The cultivation at the peak of the second realm can be regarded as a strong person in a small remote county like Yishui, but it is inconspicuous in a place like the capital where talents gather.

But now that the ring has just begun, most of the real masters are still waiting.

Therefore, people like Jia Xiuguang seized this opportunity to become familiar in front of the people in the capital, and also accumulated some practical experience by the way.

Soon, a loose cultivator dressed in coarse cloth and short clothes with a capable physique also climbed the steps, came to the high platform, and said to Jia Xiuguang: "In Xiachaozhou, there is nothing else to do except for one-handed boxing. Please advise Brother Jia. ”

Boom!

A loud gong sounded.

Chaozhou clenched his fists, put on a good posture, and condensed the true yuan.

His muscles swelled rapidly, and in an instant he became a burly man; On his body, black lines also appeared, forming a tiger-like tattoo.

Gu Xu was well-read, so he naturally quickly recognized the moves he was using.

"This is a medium-grade martial arts, Evil Tiger Fist." He whispered.

However, just as he spoke, an unfamiliar voice came from not far away:

"The technique used in Chaozhou is called Evil Tiger Fist, which is a medium-grade martial art. This used to be the mastery of the Black Tiger Gang in Luojing City. It stimulates the potential of the monk's body, allowing him to exert several times his strength for a period of time and resist the attacks of the true element from the outside world. After the fall of the Black Tiger Gang, the Evil Tiger Fist was also scattered among the people.

"I didn't expect to be able to witness this boxing technique again in this Shangyuan ring today. What a worthwhile trip. ”

Hearing this voice, Gu Xu felt a little surprised.

Because this "Evil Tiger Fist" is a cold and almost lost martial arts.

Most of the monks in this world have probably never heard of this name, let alone recognize it at a glance.

With curiosity, Gu Xu turned his head, wanting to see who it was that had such unusual insight.

Then he saw a young man in white standing against a railing.

I saw that his wide forehead was trimmed with eyebrows, his face was like beautiful jade, his lips were like grease, and a pair of phoenix eyes looked forward to Shenfei.

Although this young man did not have any gorgeous decorations on his body except for a white jade bracelet, he still looked graceful and graceful.

In his hand, he held a simple folding fan, and a poem was written in a strong and upright font on the fan surface: "When people don't know Lingyun wood, wait until Lingyun is high." ”

Behind him was a handsome-looking maid - apparently he had just been talking to his maid.

The moment Gu Xu saw the face of this young man clearly, he couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart: I didn't expect there to be such a person in the world-not only knowledgeable, but also not much inferior in appearance to me.

Gu Xu quietly looked at the young man in white.

The young man in white had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was also looking at Gu Xu calmly.

The eyes of the two collided.

In order to avoid the atmosphere being too embarrassing, Gu Xu cleared his throat and said, "Brother Tai is well-informed, and I deeply admire him. Dare to ask what is the name of Brother Tai? ”

"Under the surname Qi Mingyan, studying in Guozijian," the young man in white bowed slightly, and replied, "I see that Your Excellency is dignified and talkative, could it be Lord Gu Xu Gu from Qingzhou Mansion?" ”

"Brother Qi recognizes me?"

"Lord Gu's reputation has long spread throughout the capital. The prisoners of Guozijian had all heard that Master Gu was an immortal-like figure. When I saw it today, it was true. ”

"Brother Qi praised it."

"Master Gu, who do you think will have a better chance of winning between the two people in this competition?" The young man in white, who called himself "Qi Yan", stretched out his hand and pointed at the two people in the ring, and asked Gu Xu with a smile.

"I think...... Jia Xiuguang should be able to win. Gu Xu thought for a second and replied.

"It's the same as I guessed," said Qi Yan, a young man in white, "but ...... What is your reasoning? ”

"Jia Xiuguang studied at Longmen Academy, if I'm not mistaken, he is a talisman cultivator of a good level, and there should be a good teacher to guide him," Gu Xu analyzed lightly, "In the short preparation time just now, he has been silently reciting the spell that activates the talisman seal. Based on the shape of his mouth, I could tell that what he was about to use was the 'Golden Light Talisman' for defense.

"Although Chaozhou's Evil Tiger Fist can burst out with extremely strong power in a short period of time, it is a spell that stimulates the potential of the body after all, and it will not last too long. This also means that Chaozhou's next attack will be completely blocked by Jia Xiuguang's 'Golden Light Fu'.

"And when the Chaozhou True Yuan is exhausted and the duration of the Evil Tiger Fist is over, it will be Jia Xiuguang's time to fight back."

Hearing his words, Qi Yan, the young man in white, glanced at him seriously again, and then sighed softly: "You are more detailed than I thought.

"Now, it's up to them to see if their competition will happen the way you imagined."

…………

In the ring.

As Gu Xu expected, in the moment after the gong sounded, Jia Xiuguang took out a stack of rune paper, forming a golden shield in front of him, which looked very dazzling, and reflected the lanterns on both sides of Luoshui.

And Chaozhou's majestic boxing was completely blocked by this golden light shield.

In this short period of time, no harm could be done to Jia Xiuguang.

Gu Xu's analysis naturally fell into the ears of Shangguan Jin next to him.

In her eyes when she looked at Gu Xu, there was a little more admiration.

ps: Because it's a little late to get off work today, plus more will be late at night, you can watch it tomorrow morning. Ask for a double commuter pass!
