Chapter 64: Old Friends Gossip
The sick man received the jade flute and signaled Mingxin to continue. I saw that the sick man began to take the initiative to attack, using the flute as a sword, stabbing at Mingxin like a flying rain. Mingxin picked up the stick, picked up the wooden stick and performed a trick in the "Heaven and Earth Shocking Wind Stick", and also quickly pointed to the sick man. The two sides kept changing the direction of their attacks, and when the sticks and flutes met, the two had changed more than a dozen offensive and defensive moves in a short period of time, and no one took advantage. The sick man probably didn't expect that in addition to his deep internal strength, this young man was also so good at foreign kung fu.
The sick man's footsteps became faster, his hand speed was faster, the direction of attack was more uncertain, and Mingxin seemed to be a little unable to keep up with his all-out response, his stick method lacked actual combat experience, and the speed of change could not keep up, and he was forced to retreat step by step. It doesn't work like this, it seems that his response to change is really not as good as this sick man, so he has to use a move to "sweep the eight wildernesses" and respond to a thousand moves with one move. The sticks danced wildly, and the huge wind whistled in, oppressing the sick man and forcing him to retreat. After the stick wind, the sick man held the jade flute again and quickly pointed to Mingxin, the combination of virtual and real, Mingxin calmed down, and found out that the virtual and real were connected with the stick with all his strength, and the jade flute just hit the wooden stick, and it was directly penetrated into the wooden stick, and the wooden stick cracked and shattered directly. Mingxin can only abandon the stick and be ready to defend. The sick man didn't go any further, and jumped off the stage directly after clasping his fists and bowing.
Mingxin looked a little embarrassed to stay on the stage, who won and who lost, but he thought that the strength of the two sides was about the same, and no one lost or won. His internal strength is deeper than that of this sick man, but this sick man's moves are more varied and sharp than his own, and he is inferior in tricks.
Mingxin looked at it, and he could only go down, and when he turned around, he went to the audience.
All the people in this venue were very interested in the competition between the two teenagers, and the kung fu was very high and a little strange. For these two people, the people of the Young League are also interested, and they are also interested in Tan Yufei, especially the young man who uses the jade flute, looking at the weak body, the kung fu is good, and the weapons used are also good, he also wondered if anyone in the rivers and lakes used a flute as a weapon, and the kung fu is still so high.
After Mingxin and the sick man went down, two more people came up. The kung fu of these two people was a little worse than the two of them, and the people watching below were also listless and lost interest.
When the competition ended, it was already noon, and Tan Lingfei announced that today's competition was temporarily over, but it would continue tomorrow. Tomorrow, no matter whether it is the winner or the loser today, you can challenge the four hall masters of the Young League, and if you can defeat any of the hall masters and get the approval of the Young League, you may join the Young League and become the new hall master.
Huzi was interested when he heard it, but Mingxin didn't have much interest. The sick man didn't leave, and Mingxin couldn't tell from his face whether he was interested or not, and he didn't know if he would come back tomorrow. The people watching below were still very interested after hearing Tan Lingfei's words, and the shouts continued, and they could see a more exciting competition tomorrow.
After the watchers withdrew, Mingxin and Huzi also left. In the afternoon they rested at the inn for half a day, and only came out in the evening. The two of them also had nothing to do, wandering aimlessly, sometimes chatting about today's competition, and talking about today's sick man, they were both interested, and they didn't know where the boy came from. Mingxin mentioned the person he saved today, of course, he didn't mention to Huzi that he might be a woman disguised as a man, and that he had a fragrance on his body. Huzi didn't understand why Mingxin was interested in that person with mediocre martial arts, it seems that Huzi didn't smell it. Mingxin saw that Huzi was not interested, so he naturally didn't say more, it seems that he didn't find anything abnormal.
The two were walking around, and suddenly someone patted Mingxin on the shoulder. Mingxin didn't recognize him when he looked back, and was about to ask who it was. Then the man said, "This is from my son-in-law, thank you for saving your life." As he spoke, the man took out a cloth bag and gave it to Mingxin. Mingxin hurriedly asked, "Who is your son-in-law?" The man looked back and saw that there was a man not far from him who had beckoned him, and that person was the same person he had saved in the jousting ring. Mingxin also waved his hand at him, and at the same time told the person in front of him: "It's a trivial matter, if you don't work hard, your son-in-law will keep it in mind, and you can't accept things." The man didn't turn around and left, Mingxin called out twice, and the man didn't look back. Mingxin opened it and saw that there was some silver in the cloth bag, no wonder it was quite heavy. Mingxin looked up and saw that the person dressed as a man had also left, and he felt a little lost in his heart.
Before he came back to his senses, at this time he was patted on the shoulder again, but someone patted the shoulders of both of them at the same time, Mingxin and Huzi looked back and saw that it was Ding Xiaoyu. Huzi was a little happy and asked, "How do you know that the two of us are here?" ”
"Didn't you two come to participate in the martial arts conference, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and the two of you have grown in kung fu again." Ding Xiaoyu said teasingly.
"How do you know, you went to see the martial arts conference, why don't you go to participate, your kung fu is also very good." Hu Zilian asked several questions.
"I went to see it, I can't compare the kung fu of the two of you, and besides, I'm not interested in participating." Ding Xiaoyu said.
"Have you eaten? Haven't eaten yet, have you? Ding Xiaoyu then asked.
"Not yet, we've just been out for a while." Huzi said.
Ding Xiaoyu patted Mingxin's shoulder and said, "Why don't you kid have energy, what are you thinking, I'll invite you to dinner." ”
Mingxin was still thinking about the person he saved, and then he was stunned and said, "It's nothing, let's go to dinner." ”
Ding Xiaoyu found a better restaurant, found a private room, sat down and said, "I invite you to eat delicious food today, and I can repay you for saving your life." ”
Huzi and Mingxin both said: "It's a small thing, don't be so polite." ”
Ding Xiaoyu said to Mingxin: "The person you saved during today's martial arts competition, are you all together?" ”
Mingxin said: "That person, we don't know each other, but we saw some danger at that time and took action." ”
Ding Xiaoyu continued: "You are still addicted to righteousness and bravery, but your kung fu is really good, and the kung fu of the person you are competing with is also good, but that one is a little weird, and he didn't say a word, I don't know if he is a dumb person." ”
They chatted and waited for the meal to be served.
It didn't take long for the food to come up, and the wine was served. Mingxin looked at the wine and said, "I haven't drunk it, I can't drink it." ”
"I haven't drunk alcohol since I'm so old, so I'll break my vow and try it today." Ding Xiaoyu persuaded.
Mingxin looked at Huzi. Huzi drank wine when he was a beggar, and at that time it was a good thing to be able to get a little wine, and when he saw Mingxin looking at him, he said, "It's okay, just drink a little." ”
Mingxin no longer refused, and poured a little himself. Ding Xiaoyu proposed to have a toast together, and Mingxin could only raise his glass and take a small sip. When the wine entered the mouth, I really didn't feel anything good except for the spicy taste, and the wine was burning in the stomach, and I really don't know why those who drank in large gulps enjoyed it so much.
Mingxin didn't care about it, so he had to eat a few bites of food and drink a cup of tea. Ding Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile when he saw Mingxin's appearance, and said, "Just drink a few more times." ”
The three of them were eating and drinking, chatting, and then Ding Xiaoyu asked, "Are you still going to tomorrow's competition?" ”
Huzi continued: "Go, why don't you go, I want to see how high their Young Alliance Hall Master's kung fu is." ”
"If you win, do you want to join this Young Alliance?" Ding Xiaoyu then asked.
Huzi really didn't know how to answer this question, he fantasized about it, but if he really wanted him to join, he probably had to think about it. Huzi turned his head and asked Mingxin: "Xiaofei, what do you think about this." ”
Mingxin said: "Martial arts competition is a good thing, but the matter of joining the Young League still has to be considered." ”
Ding Xiaoyu continued: "You really have to think about this matter, the boss of this Young League is the son of the Qingling Sect Tan Xinghe, isn't joining the Young Alliance Sect equivalent to joining the Qingling Sect, what kind of place is this Qingling Sect, once you enter this place, do you still have your freedom, besides, what is the purpose of this Young Alliance to hold this martial arts conference, is it really to provide a platform for young people to learn martial arts, in fact, it is to select some talents for the Qingling Sect to strengthen the power of the Qingling Sect." Ding Xiaoyu seemed to have a hint of disdain when he said this.
As soon as Ding Xiaoyu said this, Huzi understood, in fact, what Mingxin thought was similar to what Ding Xiaoyu said, if the power of the Qingling Sect continued to grow, it would be a big obstacle to the revitalization of the Shenwu Sect.
Mingxin was still thinking about it, and at this time Huzi said: "We only go to test kung fu, even if we win, we are not their hall master, so what." ”
Ding Xiaoyu said: "How can things in the world be as simple as you think, if you want to win, it will naturally attract their attention, if you don't join them, then you are likely to be their enemy to them, once you become an enemy, will your life be good." Why didn't they kill me last time and let me join them, I must have thought that my kung fu was good, and I wanted to use it for them, but I didn't agree, so I lived a low-key and cautious time and didn't cause any trouble. ”
When Huzi heard this, he said, "Then will we go tomorrow?" ”
At this time, Mingxin said: "We will definitely go tomorrow, we are in the limelight today, if we don't go, they will probably look for us, and if we go tomorrow, we will try to talk about it." ”
Huzi agreed as soon as he heard it. In fact, Mingxin thought of some things, but he didn't say it. Mingxin felt that the person who was competing with him today was definitely not here to join the Young League. Tomorrow he's going to see if the sick guy still can't go.
As soon as Ding Xiaoyu heard that they were going tomorrow, he said, "Then I will go tomorrow, and I will still be an audience." ”
Huzi said casually: "Aren't you afraid that they will recognize you?" ”
Ding Xiaoyu said: "You underestimate my ability, I still have an ability that you don't know, and that is the disguise technique." My transfiguration technique is not something that can be easily exposed. ”
When Huzi heard this, he said, "It's so powerful." Ding Xiaoyu was a little proud, and Mingxin was also bright, but he didn't expect that there was such a kung fu in the world.
The three of them are about the same age, chatting while eating, and it will be too late when they are done eating. Huzi and Mingxin went back to the inn, and Ding Xiaoyu also left by himself, not knowing where he went.
