It turned out that Gu Meng did not stay away from the grass house, but pretended to leave, and then returned from another way, hiding outside the grass house to hide his breath, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

As early as when he was in the county seat, Qin Mo had already guessed that the other party would make a move, otherwise they would not dare to offer odds of one to four.

Sure enough, not long after Gu Meng's "departure", Yang Jiaoyu appeared, and when he failed to offer rich conditions, he planned to injure him, so that he could not play his due strength in tomorrow's game.

As a lifter, he can use dark energy to hurt people, and the attack does not need to be too heavy, which can cause damage to the meridians and affect the output of literary power to the fingertips, and this kind of injury cannot be detected.

In other words, Qin Mo had nowhere to appeal, so he could only suffer dumb losses.

Looking at Sect Yang who disappeared into the night, Gu Meng gritted his teeth and scolded: "Scum!"

The competition between the four academies has always been fair and just, and by doing so, they not only made the competition lose its original purpose, but also pulled down the students who worked hard to cultivate, which had an extremely bad impact.

Qin Mo behaved very calmly, and said: "People die for money, birds die for food, they offer high odds to attract gambling funds, if they can't control the results of the game, wouldn't they have to lose a clean price." ”

Gu Meng was still angry, and said: "A gentleman loves money, he should take it in a proper way, and use competitions as a means to make a fortune. No, I must immediately report this matter to the prison supervisor and the two adults. ”

Qin Mo stopped him and asked, "How can you be sure that the two of them are not involved?"

Gu Meng's eyes widened, and he said with a look of disbelief: "They will also be involved?"

Qin Mo nodded first, then shook his head, and said, "Before there is definite evidence, it's better not to startle the snakes, in case they are involved, you stupidly go to sue, wouldn't you be in the net." Of course, in terms of the character of the two adults, they shouldn't do such a dirty thing, but people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who can say for sure. ”

Gu Meng nodded and said, "You're right, the surname Yang is usually sanctimonious, who would have thought that he was one of the organizers." It's getting late, let's get some rest, you don't have to attend the class tomorrow morning, I'll take the time to teach you new skills. ”

"We?" Qin Mo was stunned.

Gu Meng glanced at him and snorted: "You think I am willing to live in this place, not to ensure your safety, those guys have not succeeded, and they will definitely not give up." ”

Qin Mo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then you sleep inside, and I'll sleep outside." ”

It was late at night, and it was silent.

In the Qindao Branch, several dark shadows appeared in a courtyard, and then the oil lamp in the room was lit, and the wooden window shone with a light orange light.

The last man in black closed the door and checked that there was no problem before going straight inside.

There are four of them, all of whom are teachers of the Qindao Branch, and they serve as the main lecturers of the children's class and the Xiucai class.

The faces of the four people were not very good-looking, and the leader was a middle-aged man with a square face, and he spoke first: "It has been determined that Gu Meng lives in Tingquan Caolu, if nothing else, tomorrow he will personally protect Qin Mo and go to the Calligraphy Branch, and then go to the arena, we have no chance to start." ”

A sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy said, "Can you use the method of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, it only takes a moment of effort, and I can use my dark strength to injure the kid surnamed Qin." ”

He was the Yang Sect who threatened Qin Mo before, and the fact that he was calculated by Gu Meng made him angry.

Quartet shook his head and said, "It's difficult! Gu Meng is not stupid, he shouldn't be fooled, besides, it is not a good strategy to commit murder in the academy in broad daylight, Qin Mo will definitely shout loudly, once we are discovered, we still can't eat the end of walking around." ”

The third man was a fat man, and said with a worried face, "According to your meaning, there is no way, right?"

The two of them were silent, the fat man was anxious, and his voice was raised a lot, shouting: "If the surnamed Qin wins the game, do you know how much we will lose? It is 160,000 taels, and each of us has to go bankrupt, and it is not enough to sell our wives and children to pay off our debts." ”

From dusk to midnight, they received a total of more than 40,000 taels of gambling money on Qin Mosheng, and according to the odds of one to four, it took 160,000 taels to settle it.

So they can't afford to lose and have to find a way to control the outcome of the game.

But Qin Mo's path is impassable, which makes everyone very frustrated.

The fourth person was the calmest and said: "This road is not passable, just take other roads, and Qin Mo is not the only one." ”

The fat man hurriedly turned his head to look at him, and asked with burning eyes, "What other way is there?"

He said in an unhurried tone: "Ma Zhong." ”

The fat man shook his head without thinking: "You didn't say anything, Ma Zhong's strength is obvious to you and me, Qin Mo can go all the way to the finals, and his strength should not be underestimated." He and Ma Zhong are between the two of them, and the winning rate of both of them is in the number of five or five, but in the round of luck, Ma Zhong is obviously inferior to Qin Mo, so his winning chance is still very big. ”

Even if it's just five or five, you can't take it lightly, not to mention that Qin Mo's chance of winning is so big.

The four of them bet on all their belongings, and if they lose, they can't afford to gamble.

"Who said that Ma Zhong's side is useless, we can give him high-grade Wenbao to help him. The fourth person smiled and said: "His strength is not weak, plus a powerful treasure, it is like a tiger with wings, what does Qin Mo have, a Zizhu Spring and Autumn Pen and a three-milli Qiankun pen! Oh yes, he also has an ancient seal with not weak defense, and Ma Zhong also has it." ”

The square face had a sparkle in his eyes, and it was a good proposition.

Sectarian Yang slapped the table and said, "Fatty, didn't you get a yin and yang five-element drum a few months ago, it is said to be a high-level literary treasure, and it just so happens that Ma Zhong has the ability to make drums, so it is better to lend it to him for a day." ”

The fat man looked distressed and whispered, "I don't want to use that drum." ”

The four sides looked at each other tightly, and hummed: "If you refuse to borrow, no matter how good the drum is, it will have to be used to pay off the debt and become someone else's thing." ”

The fat man's eyes turned red, and he said in a heart: "Okay, then lend it to him once! I will personally send it to him tomorrow morning and teach him how to use it." ”

Sectarian Yang said a little anxiously: "Don't go tomorrow, let's go now." ”

Quartet shook his head and said: "It's too late now, being tossed by the Yin and Yang Five Elements Drum, Ma Zhong doesn't want to rest well, and a bad mental state will also affect tomorrow's game." ”

The fat man gave a thumbs up and said, "It's still thoughtful that the boss is thoughtful, don't let Ma Zhong go to class tomorrow morning, and seize the time to practice drumming." ”

"Okay, that's it. ”

......

The next morning, neither Qin Mo nor Ma Zhong went to class.

Qin Mo practiced calligraphy alone in the courtyard of the school, and Gu Menghui took the time to come over from time to time to give guidance.

In the Qindao Branch, Ma Zhong is receiving the personal guidance of the fat man's teachings, and there is a small red drum with a diameter of more than one foot on the drum stand, and both sides of the drum skin can be beaten, the black side represents yin, and the white side represents yang.

If you look closely, you will find that there are fine notches on the drum skin, and the sound emitted by different positions is different, which is divided into five tones of Gongshang Horn and Yu, and five elements of dark alloy wood, water, fire and earth, so the name of this thing is called Yin and Yang Five Elements Drum.

Ma Zhong was originally a qin scribe who played drums, so he was able to master the technique quickly, and the fat man's face showed a look of relief.

In the distance, Sifang Face and Yang Jiaoyu were standing in the corridor, and the two of them were also very satisfied with this.

On the side of the calligraphy branch, Qin Mo is writing the four characters of "swords, guns, arrows and halberds" in a line, which is neither the most commonly used Wang style, nor the most respected Su Huang Mi Cai Si Ti in contemporary times, but the pen style of Gu Meng.

The four characters "sword, spear and arrow halberd" themselves are slightly weird, because they are usually "sword, gun, sword and halberd", and these four characters are included in the "ligature into soldiers", which was created by the great calligrapher Huaisu of the Tang Dynasty.

When the monk Huaisu was reading "Three Kingdoms", he was impressed by the plot of the Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu, with the word "knife" representing the martial saint Guan Yu, the word "gun" representing Zhang Fei, the word "sword" representing Liu Bei who used a double-strand sword, and the word "halberd" naturally representing Lu Bu, the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms.

The third realm of "Sword, Spear, Sword and Halberd" can conjure up the combination of Liu, Guan, Zhang and Lu Bu, and the combat effectiveness is very strong.

The "sword, gun, arrow and halberd" that Qin Mo is practicing is the result of the improvement of the ancient Meng, and it is a typical [ligature] into a soldier, but it has not yet spread and has not been accepted by the world.

Gu Meng thinks that Guan and Zhang are extraordinary, and Liu Bei is much more mediocre, this thing's ability to cry his nose is superb, as for going into battle to kill the enemy, he can only hehe.

Although there was Lu Bu, a fierce general, to help in the battle, the comprehensive combat power was still pulled down by Liu Bei, so he replaced the word "sword" representing the double-strand sword with "arrow", so that the conjured character became Huang Zhong, one of the five tiger generals of Shu State.

Huang Zhong's weapon is a long-pole broadsword, which is no less than the second master of the martial saint Guan in terms of knife skills, and at the same time has the archery skills of a hundred steps through Yang, which can be used to fight hand-to-hand with people at a distance, and can be attacked by the enemy with a bow and arrow from afar.

Because it was a combination of four characters, Qin Mo practiced for most of the hour without success.

The main reason is that he has not learned the characters of Gu Meng, so he is a little struggling.

After writing a piece of rice paper, he quickly paved the second sheet, when the pen was written, the first three words were written very standardly, and when it came to the word "halberd", because he had learned the cursive writing of this word before, he inadvertently used the cursive penmanship.

After the left part of the word "halberd" was written, he used a relatively large pen lifting action, and immediately used a pause pen action, and the pen fell on the paper, forming a relatively heavy starting pen.

At this time, the Holy Dao Star in his Wen Palace shone brightly, and a fresh wind blew, quickly forming a blue-gray cyclone.

Gu Meng happened to see this scene, he walked over quickly, and said in a slightly excited tone: "Great, if you can obtain the [Pen Broken Meaning Link] Cyclone an hour before the competition, your chances of winning will increase by at least one percent." ”

Qin Mo was in a state of confusion, and the acquisition of this cyclone was definitely an unexpected surprise.
