Chapter 9: The Sword Maniac
That night, the Hongbin Building in Wushan Town was brightly lit.
The entire second floor has been fully covered by Chen Wenbing, with a total of ten good seats on the table.
The hotel junior was waiting on the side, his eyes glancing at the two people at the main table from time to time.
The cold dishes have been served, and the hot dishes are almost ready, just waiting for the guests to come and pass the dishes one by one.
But at this time, the moon is already on the willows, and the second floor is still empty, only the brothers at the main table are staring at each other.
Chen Wenbing was dressed in a bright yellow gold silk embroidered robe, with a white jade belt tied around his waist, his hair was meticulously combed, and then he was tied with a purple and gold hair crown, and five of his ten fingers were equipped with various rings, gemstone agate, colorful.
Chen Gongzi dressed up to attend, and then looked at the empty ten tables with an embarrassed expression.
Xia Yan was dressed in an ordinary gray sword robe and looked at Chen Wenbing: "Didn't you say that the posts were all posted, why didn't anyone come?" ”
"How the hell do I know?" Chen Wenbing scolded, "These bastards, when I delivered the posts to the door, they all said it well, but as a result, they couldn't see the shadow of the people at this time." ”
"Normal." Xia Yan shook his head and said, "You are willing to show off, people may not be willing to accompany you, if you don't come, don't come, Xiao Er is hungry." ”
"Childe, all ten tables?" Xiao Er owed a debt and asked.
"It's all on!" Chen Wenbing waved his hand and said viciously, "Don't wait!" ”
"Gotcha!" Xiao Er went downstairs to pass the food.
Xia Yan looked at Chen Wenbing and found that this person was so angry that his face turned red.
Chen Wenbing said hatefully: "I have only been in the past few days in my life, I originally wanted to have a good time, and when someone was beaten down on the sword platform, I went home to separate the restaurant." Kindly invited this group of bastards to the banquet, but they didn't give me face, I didn't finish with them! ”
"Alright." Xia Yan waved his hand, "If you want to talk about dogs and horses, then these juniors in our town are all experts, but if you want to talk about cultivation and sword, how can they be interested." When you come to the door to post a post, people still know that if you give you a good face, it is already counted as giving face. ”
"Humph!" Chen Wenbing snorted coldly, and then sighed again, "I listen to you and don't bother with this group of mallets." It is enough to have a confidant in life, and it is the same for our brothers to drink. ”
"That's right."
The two brothers were chatting, and Xia Yan only heard footsteps coming from the staircase.
is not in a hurry, the rhythm is stable, not the state of the shopkeeper.
Chen Wenbing smiled bitterly: "It's good to have one." ”
As he spoke, the man had already gone upstairs.
A young man of about twenty-five years old, with a black sword robe all over his body, and a long sword with a white scabbard on his back, his hair was scattered, and his face was full of stubble.
After this person went up to the second floor, he didn't greet the two people at the main table, nor did he sit down, but stood at the top of the stairs, staring at Xia Yan with his eyes.
"Gu Maniac?" Chen Wenbing stood up suddenly, his whole body on guard, "What are you doing here?" ”
Gu Maniac, whose real name is Gu Zhantang, although he lives in Wushan Town, he is not the same as other students in Wushan Town.
The students of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy Palace generally awakened the sword species when they were children, and then they were sent to the school palace at the expense of their families, including Xia Yan and Chen Wenbing.
Gu Zhantang is an alternative, he is a swordsman in the secular world, and he has been on the rivers and lakes since he was thirteen years old.
The talent is said to be extremely poor and does not meet the admission requirements of the Academy.
In his early years, he rescued a noble man on the rivers and lakes, and this noble man learned that he was obsessed with swordsmanship, and in order to repay his kindness, he got him an audit qualification for the South Campus of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy.
Therefore, he has no official student status, so he can only go to the Sword Tower to observe, and he can't enter the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and he is not qualified to participate in the Sword Discussion Palace.
And the way he practiced kendo was very special, that is, to find someone to fight with the sword.
Others want to fight, but they don't want to fight, they have to fight, they are arrogant and unreasonable, and Gu Maniac's nickname comes from this.
In the five years he has been in Wushan Town, his realm is not high, only in the middle of the second stage, but the swordsmanship in his hand is different from those in the school palace, and it is extremely ruthless.
His men were defeated, even including some of the acquired triple students.
In Wushan Town, all the students were beaten by him, and the predecessor and Chen Wenbing were not spared.
The predecessor was okay, but three years ago, he couldn't catch Gu Maniac's move, and the long sword was over, and the other party didn't make a ruthless move.
Chen Wenbing was not very lucky, the fight was fought the year before last, Xia Yan remembered that Chen Wenbing couldn't get out of bed for half a year.
After that fight, Chen Wenbing's heart for kendo, which was not high, was completely dispersed, and he no longer practiced.
However, Chen Wenbing at this time is no longer Chen Wenbing the year before last.
A pseudo-Yuan Dan fell into the belly, and the cultivation came to the triple peak.
It was still in the middle of the triple before, and it rose again last night, what is the reason Xia Yan knew in his heart, and he didn't let him elaborate just now.
At this moment, the enemy's eyes were very red when he saw him, Chen Wenbing was on guard, his satin robe was puffed up with energy, and his face was faintly pale.
Madman Gu looked a little surprised, and said, "Yuanyi protects the body, your face is jade, you are at the peak of the triple?" ”
"Not bad." Chen Wenbing said viciously, "What do you want? ”
"It's up to you." Madman Gu snorted coldly, "The Triple Peak is also a waste. ”
"You!" Chen Wenbing's mood was already not smooth, but at this time, he was even more furious, "Gu madman, dare to fight with me!" ”
"I'm not interested in you kind of shit." Madman Gu said lightly, and then turned his gaze to Xia Yan again, "You, come down." ”
With that, the man turned and went downstairs.
Xia Yan stood up and was about to follow downstairs, but Chen Wenbing grabbed his cuffs all of a sudden: "Why are you going?" ”
Xia Yan pointed to the staircase: "Didn't he say it, let me go down." ”
"What he says is what he says?" Chen Wenbing said, "Don't go down, he will definitely fight with you." ”
"Fight and fight." Xia Yan said, "It just so happens that I also want to try my newly learned swordsmanship. ”
Chen Wenbing frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Gu Maniac's realm is said to be not high, but his swordsmanship is fought in the rivers and lakes, it is a real killing skill, not the kind of swordsmanship that takes into account the fighting style and practice in our school." ”
"I know." Xia Yan then glanced down at his cuffs.
"Hey!" Chen Wenbing stomped his foot, "Then I'll go down with you." ”
……
Xia Yan and Chen Wenbing went down the stairs and passed through the lobby on the first floor of Hongbin Building.
Seeing the scene outside the door of Hongbin Building, both of them were a little stunned.
Not only the two of them, but Madman Gu was standing in the middle of the street, and he was a little confused.
The surroundings of the Gu madman were full of people at the moment.
There are hundreds of people, all dressed in brocade clothes.
According to the local customs of Wushan Town, red lanterns will be carried when you go out on a happy occasion.
And the group of people in front of him each has a red lantern.
They surrounded the madman Gu in the middle, but they didn't dare to get too close, they looked jealous one by one, and used the lantern pole in their hands as a long sword messenger and stretched it out far away.
Looking at the momentum of the two sides, it doesn't look like they surrounded Gu Maniac, but it looks like Gu Maniac blocked their way.
Chen Wenbing shouted at this time: "Hey, you ......"
As soon as Chen Wenbing spoke up, everyone on the street came over:
"Hey! We made an appointment, and we deliberately arrived a little late, so we were angry with you two. ”
"That's it, didn't you just pass the primary, what's the smelly show?"
"But then again, if you two can pass the primary election, it is indeed a happy event for our Wushan Town."
"The group of people in the school palace just look down on us, how about this time?"
"What's the big deal, there are people in our Wushan Town!"
"We have to drink this meal!"
"Gotta drink!"
"I've also heard that Xia Yan, your sword species has mutated, right?"
"Awesome!"
"Who the hell said that Wushan Town is full of waste?"
"Let them slash their butts with knives and open their eyes!"
"Xia Yan, you have to have a good drink with us tonight, if you don't drink, it's not over!"
"That's right!"
"Wen Bing, you too, if you don't drink, it's not over!"
"Hey, just Wen Bing's amount of alcohol, it's a moment of effort to drink down."
On the street, these hundreds of people are making a lot of noise.
The first few Xia Yan can still be heard clearly, and I don't know what they are talking about later.
But the general meaning is understood, and I can't help but feel warm in my heart.
Chen Wenbing, who was beside him, turned his face away, rubbed his nose, and scolded softly: "These bastards ......"
In the crowd, there was a sudden shout: "You guys are enough!" ”
The scene fell silent.
Gu Madman said in a deep voice: "It's just through the primary selection of the sword, but he is smug there, and he is really a bunch of waste!" ”
"Crazy Gu, don't go too far!"
"We've got a lot of people here!"
"A mouthful of spit on each person can kill you!"
"Chen Wenbing, why is this Gu madman here, did you invite him?"
"Since you invited him, why are you still inviting us, isn't it unpleasant?"
"He'll be alone at a table for a while, and we'll not sit with him."
"It's just that the wine table is not enough to lift."
There was a commotion around again, and Xia Yan felt that his brain was buzzing.
"Everyone, you all go upstairs and sit down!" Chen Wenbing said loudly, "I have already let people serve the dishes, and everyone will eat and drink first." Xia Yan and I still have something to do with this crazy Gu, and I will come up to accompany you in a while. ”
Chen Wenbing is the host after all, and this is quite useful.
The group of people outside surrounded Gu Maniac, and it was difficult to ride a tiger like that, and they were all beaten up, and they were scared in their hearts, that is, they were stalemate because of the large number of people.
Chen Wenbing's words are equivalent to saving everyone, and they can walk one by one.
But I heard the Gu madman say, "Wait." ”
The group of people around them was very obedient and stopped.
"Crazy Gu, what do you want to do?" Chen Wenbing said angrily.
"The lantern stays." Madman Gu said coldly.
Inside the lantern is a candle, so you can't bring it into the store, so it's usually placed at the door.
At this time, hearing Gu Maniac's request, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, put the lantern in their hands on the street, and walked into Hongbin Building one by one.
Everyone passed by Xia Yan and Chen Wenbing, and they were all secretly looking at each other.
That means that Gu Madman is not easy to mess with, so let the two of them deal with it carefully.
The Gu madman on the street turned around, adjusted the position of the lanterns, and formed a circle around them in turn, and then said to Xia Yan:
"Even if the sword fighting platform is in this lantern circle, what about your sword?"
"At home." Xia Yan said.
"Go get it, I'll wait here."
"Okay."
