Chapter 62: Grappling
Chen Qiuming felt funny after hearing it, who is this scaring for? Lao Tzu is not scared.
I saw him smile and say sarcastically: "Seniors are laughing? Or when I'm a three-year-old? If you let go of General Zhou, obediently retreat, and promise not to come to trouble him for three years, I will let Yelu Zongbao go, otherwise, you will wait to collect his body! ”
Xiao Dilu was furious when he heard this, except for the great grandmaster, who dared to talk to him like this for so many years, but he was angry, at such a distance, he had no chance to save people directly, so he could only suppress his anger, pointing at Zhou Dewei and continuing: "You let go of the two, I will let go of this person, you cut off your own arm, self-abolish martial arts, today's matter will end here, otherwise, don't blame a certain person for killing today!" ”
Chen Qiuming was speechless after hearing this, and he didn't care if Xiao Dilu could understand it, and scolded: "Didn't you wake up?" Or was it someone kicked in the head, and it was so whimsical? Either agree to Lao Tzu's request, or Lao Tzu will send Yelu Zongbao and Innocent to the West now! ”
Xiao Dilu was so angry when he heard this, he slapped his palm on the city wall, and smashed a large part of the city wall, but so what? Chen Qiuming still looked at him indifferently, as if to say, what can you do with me?
Everyone present, whether they were hostile or their own people, looked at Chen Qiuming with a strange look, they hadn't heard of it, who dared to point at Xiao Dilu's nose and scold, this person, isn't he crazy?
Chen Qiuming was a master negotiator, and seeing that Xiao Dilu did not dare to act rashly, he immediately judged that the two of them were very important to him, and then ordered loudly: "The wolf rider listens to the order, sets up the 'Zhuge Divine Crossbow', and aims at the enemy on the city wall, if this old thief dares to act rashly, he will immediately execute Yelu Zongbao and Wuji!" ”
Yelu Zongbao was able to become Xiao Dilu's apprentice back then, in addition to being a royal family, there is actually another layer of relationship, that is, Yelu Zongbao's mother is Yelu Zongbao's own sister. In other words, Xiao Dilu is also Yelu Zongbao's own uncle.
The surname Xiao is the first surname outside the Khitan royal family, and it is married to the royal family all the year round, which is also the reason why the Khitan queen or concubine basically believes in Xiao. When Yelu Zongbao's mother died in childbirth to give birth to him, when he was very young, Xiao Dilu took Yelu Zongbao to his side to raise him personally, so for Xiao Dilu, Yelu Zongbao was similar to his own son.
Yelu Zongbao is in the Khitan, that is the existence of the demon king of the mixed world, the fundamental reason why he came to the Central Plains is that this product fell in love with Wuji, and he actually ignored Yang Chuqing and Wujian had a marriage contract, and always stalked Wuji, and chased him to the Central Plains.
It's a pity that his martial arts are still slightly inferior to Wujian and Yang Chuqing, and Wujian and Yang Chuqing can't really do anything to Yelu Zongbao, so they can only let him stick to his side like a piece of kraft candy.
Xiao Dilu turned a blind eye to this, but he didn't expect that Yelu Zongbao went to the Central Plains and was actually made like this. This is also the reason why Xiao Dilu will never let go of Chen Qiuming today.
Xiao Dilu deserved to be a great grandmaster, and he quickly calmed down and began to find a way to find the initiative, only to see him squint, staring at Chen Qiuming and saying, "I heard that you are not only Xue Yang's apprentice, but you have few opponents at a young age?" Last time, Xue Yang and I fought for 300 rounds, although we were still defeated in the end, but it was already commendable, so I finally let him go. ”
"Why don't you and I make a bet today? It is still limited to three hundred rounds, if you can support three hundred rounds in my hands, I will no longer care about your offense, spare your life, and immediately retreat with Zongbao and Innocent, otherwise not only will you die today, but this person will also die. ”
He finally referred to Zhou Dewei, but how could Chen Qiuming agree to such harsh conditions, I saw him smile and say: "The predecessor is a great master who is famous all over the world, but the younger generation is only eighteen years old and has not dried up, you have made such a harsh bet, are you not afraid that the world will laugh at you?" ”
Chen Qiuming's mouth was indeed a little vicious, Xiao Dilu's face turned blue after hearing this, and he asked, "Then what do you say?" ”
Chen Qiuming understood that he was afraid that it would not work if he didn't do one today, so he said: "Three hundred rounds is too general, in order to prevent you from cheating, change it to half a stick of incense, as long as you don't kill me within half a stick of incense, it will be counted as my victory." In addition, you can only use empty hands, you cannot use weapons, if you win, both of them will be handed over to you, but you must let General Zhou go, and retreat; If you are lucky enough to win, Yelu Zongbao will be handed over to you, and you will let General Zhou go, and you will retreat, and promise not to trouble me and the Jin Kingdom again within three years, and not to step into the Jin Kingdom for half a step. ”
The incense of this era is a unified system, three inches long, and the burning time is generally half an hour, that is, an hour, and half a burnt incense is half an hour. Chen Qiuming estimated that if it was lit outdoors and there was wind today, it was estimated that it would burn out in more than 20 minutes.
He is confident that if the means are right, it should not be difficult to hold on for half an hour.
And Xiao Dilu, today's main purpose is to save Yelu Zongbao and kill Chen Qiuming, and everything else is trivial and inconsequential in his opinion, so Chen Qiuming's bet is just right.
Although Yang Chuqing praised Chen Qiuming's martial arts to the sky, he didn't think that he couldn't beat Chen Qiuming within half a stick of incense, no matter how powerful Chen Qiuming was, he was also a kid who didn't have any hair, it couldn't be better than his master Xue Yang, right?
As for weapons, at his level, it doesn't make much difference whether they use weapons or not.
So in front of everyone's eyes, Xiao Dilu said: "What a gut! It's up to you! ”
When Chen Qiuming heard this, he rose directly from the ground and fell directly to the top of the city tower, shouting: "Come on, light incense, have nothing to do with people, etc., all retreat to ten zhang away!" ”
Although Zhou Dewei was captured, he was not afraid, and shouted: "Heralds, set up incense burners, light incense, beat drums, and help the military advisor!" ”
Soon, the sound of dense drums sounded, and several heralds brought an incense burner, took out an incense burner in front of everyone, broke it, and lit it.
The next moment, Xiao Dilu turned over and appeared on the roof of the city tower, Chen Qiuming pulled out the "Leyi" sword, his face was expressionless, and his heart pointed at Xiao Dilu like water.
At this time, inside and outside the city, on and under the city walls, tens of thousands of people held their breath and looked at the two intently, for fear of missing any details, even Li Cunmiao, who was hidden in the army, ignored the 60,000 troops in front of him, and secretly turned around to watch the life-and-death duel between Chen Qiuming and Xiao Dilu!
Seeing that the incense had been lit, Xiao Dilu did not waste time at all, raised his palm, and slapped it towards Chen Qiuming. Yelu Zongbao's martial arts are in the same vein as Xiao Dilu, and his fame is "Flames", but it is made by Xiao Dilu, and its effect is very different from that of Yelu Zongbao.
Chen Qiuming faced Xiao Dilu's seemingly casual palm, but he felt the flames rushing towards him, as if he was in the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun, and even the skin on his face was about to be burned.
Chen Qiuming didn't dare to fight hard, his body rotated, and the "Leyi" sword crossed an arc, taking advantage of the situation to counterattack, using Chen Qiuming's unique "Tai Chi Swordsmanship" in this world.
Xiao Dilu's palm is strong to yang, and "Tai Chi Swordsmanship" is the best at overcoming rigidity with softness, four or two thousand catties, it is the only choice for the weak to the strong, after all, according to the rules of the gambling contract, Chen Qiuming does not need to win, just delay the time is enough.
As soon as Xiao Dilu made a move, he didn't intend to give Chen Qiuming a chance to breathe, punch after punch, palm after palm, and attacked Chen Qiuming with his head and face. To outsiders, Chen Qiuming is like a small boat in a storm, staggering and struggling, and there is a risk of subversion at any time in the face of wind and waves.
After the actual three moves, Chen Qiuming's heart was as stable as an old dog, although Xiao Dilu's attack power was strong, it did not exceed the limit of the general program of "Tai Chi Swordsmanship", in other words, no matter how Xiao Dilu attacked, Chen Qiuming could resolve it, Xiao Dilu's shocking attacks were actually like hitting cotton, and they could not cause any harm to Chen Qiuming.
The best thing is that this swordsmanship is not only defensive, but also counterattacking, and in the counterattack, it is even mixed with Xiao Dilu's own attacks, so that Xiao Dilu's attack rhythm is always not smooth!
Seeing that Chen Qiuming survived this wave of attacks, Li Cunmiao's heart slipped from his throat a little, and he was extremely nervous just now. Xiao Dilu soon noticed that something was wrong, and he paused the attack and asked curiously, "What kind of sword technique is this?" Why can't your master Xue Yang? ”
Chen Qiuming was happy to delay time, and replied slowly: "This is self-created, it's not me to brag with you, if it's talent, even my master can't compare to me!" ”
Xiao Dilu thought for a moment, immediately changed his playing style, and slowly pushed out with a palm, this strength, this speed, it was almost the same as the old lady who hadn't eaten.
Chen Qiuming was startled when he saw it, Xiao Dilu actually understood the principle of rigidity and softness, and began to use a cotton palm to deal with him, in addition, this palm Xiao Dilu mobilized the general trend of heaven and earth within a radius of one mile to imprison Chen Qiuming, wanting to force him to take it hard.
How could Chen Qiuming pick it up? As soon as he turned over, he fell directly onto the wall below, this kind of imprisonment was effective for ordinary grandmasters, but it was not very effective for top grandmasters who had already mastered the "potential" realm.
Xiao Dilu did not make a contribution to the palm, so he immediately chased after Chen Qiuming, and Chen Qiuming began to use the strange body technique and the blocking of the city tower to circle around, with the obvious intention, that is, to delay time.
Xiao Dilu sneered, demolished the sturdy city tower with three strokes and five divisions, and chased Chen Qiuming to start a new round of indiscriminate bombardment. And Chen Qiuming used the "Tai Chi Swordsmanship" to the point of being superb, using his strength to fight and see the moves, the two tossed around, and returned to the state of just fighting.
Xiao Dilu only found out at this time that this Chen Qiuming was actually more difficult than his master Xue Yang, he didn't fight hard with you, but used an unheard-of swordsmanship to defuse and transform his own attacks, he was busy for a long time, and he was actually wasting his true qi!
