Chapter 23: The Competition
When everyone was introduced and got to know each other, Jiuli said, "You can start." ”
Shen Qingjiu didn't know why, raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, and said suspiciously: "Ninth Grandpa, what started?" ”
Jiuli smiled lovingly at her, then pointed to the position next to her and said, "It's started, it's started, Xiaojiu, come and sit here, just look at it, you don't need to do anything, come here, sit next to Grandpa Jiu." ”
Looking in the direction he pointed, Shen Qingjiu realized that there was already a chair next to Jiuli, which was specially prepared for Shen Qingjiu, so, that is to say, Jiuli called her over, was she going to let her watch the "play", however, she didn't know what this scene was playing, and it seemed that it was about to start.
Shen Qingjiu walked over, sat down on the chair, and someone intimately brought her a hot tea and a few snacks, and put them on the small coffee table next to her for her to eat and drink, but now Shen Qingjiu didn't have the heart to drink tea, she wanted to know what would happen next.
After Shen Qingjiu sat down, Jiuli raised his eyes and glanced at Yue, who received his gaze, so he immediately stood up from his seat and walked to the middle of the courtyard, and then turned to face Shao Siyu, the corners of his lips raised slightly, revealing a provocative smile, and said, "Please." ”
Shao Siyu also got up and stood up, stepped in front of the moon, stopped, carried his back with one hand, nodded at him slightly, and then, with the other arm forward, the palm was flipped, the palm was facing up, and he said a word: "Please." ”
After the word "please", before the end fell, the moon jumped up, and made the first move, Shen Qingjiu finally understood why Jiuli called her over, Jiuli asked her to come over to watch the competition, and the object of the competition was Shao Siyu Tongyue, the people who came out of the Taiji Building wanted to compete with the people of the Demon Hunting Mansion, and naturally they wanted to call her, the heir of the Shen family, to come over, and the people who stood in the field to compete, they almost fought when they met for the first time, and now, they finally fought.
Shen Qingjiu hurriedly opened his mouth and said, "Ninth Grandpa, Shao Siyu is really the guardian spirit of the Shen family, I didn't lie to you, I personally woke him up, and he just woke up from his deep sleep, so it is not appropriate to ...... Hands-on ......"
The latter words, she said a lot of words, a pair of big eyes looked at the middle of the courtyard, the peachwood sword in Yue's hand had not yet been picked up, and Shao Siyu's hand had already reached his approach, and the second finger was on his neck, but in the blink of an eye, the victory and defeat had been decided.
Jiuli replied to Shen Qingjiu: "Is it really not suitable to do it?" ”
Shen Qingjiu's smile changed shape on his face, and both eyebrows were tied in a knot in the center of his eyebrows, if she knew that they were going to compete, she should have told Shao Siyu in advance that she couldn't win no matter what, and in the same month, losing was far more worry-free than winning, and now it's too late, Shao Siyu won neatly, without dragging his feet.
Shao Siyu didn't do anything to Yue, and after the victory and defeat were decided, he withdrew his arm, still carrying his back with one hand, nodded at him slightly, and said, "Agreed." ”
Then he walked back to his place and sat down again, calm from beginning to end, with no change in the expression on his face.
Yue still stood there, not moving, his eyes followed Shao Siyu's movements, until he sat down, he didn't take his eyes away, he stared at Shao Siyu deadly, as if he wanted to engrave him in his bones.
Shen Qingjiu glanced at him, the eyes under the cap, hidden in a shadow, she clearly saw the unwillingness and anger in his eyes, just when they started, Shen Qingjiu was talking to Jiuli, she didn't see how Shao Siyu defeated Yue in less than a sentence people's hands.
After a long silence in the month, Jiuli said loudly: "If the skill is not as good as the person, admit the gamble and admit defeat, the month, victory or defeat is a common thing in the army, today is not as good as a person, just try to catch up in the future, and sit down, there is the next game, don't delay time." ”
What's next? Who will play with whom next? It won't be ......
Shen Qingjiu's eyes fell on Yueqing who smiled gently, he was holding a cup of tea in a leisurely manner, it seemed that the tea was very fragrant, it was rare to see, he needed to taste a cup of tea, after seeing him, Shen Qingjiu's eyes fell on the other side of the night, the night was gently stroking the fat white cat lying on his lap, the white cat was still lazily playing from time to time, a pair of different colored eyes, not even willing to open it.
It seems that this second game is a competition between the two of them.
Shen Qingjiu thought in his heart, and at the same time began to blame Shao Siyu, he came out with Yueqing, the demon city is so big, but where can he not play, what do you want to come to the Demon Hunting Mansion, not only come, but also compete, winning or losing is really so important, who is powerful and who is not, what can it be?
However, when things got to this point, it was no longer for her to decide, because Yue had stopped his silence, walked to his place, put the unused peachwood sword in his hand, and put it on the small coffee table, and then, sitting down, pursing his lips, quietly waiting for the next competition, his excessive silence always made people have a bad premonition.
Ye turned his head sideways, looked at him with both eyes, and said softly: "After all, you are a person who has lived for at least three thousand years, and you are only more than twenty years old, you can't say the same thing, what the old man said is right, the future will be long......"
Yue raised her hand and pulled her cap down, refusing to speak to him.
Ye stopped talking to him, got up and stood up, first put the white cat in his place, and then bowed to Jiu Li, saying: "Ye Ben is not a person from the Demon Hunting Mansion, and he should not have participated in this competition today, but people's curiosity will always drive him to do something that violates the rules, and if there is something offensive, please don't be angry." ”
Jiu Li's face was always with a smile, and said: "It's okay, young people should talk to each other, it's rare that you are willing to make a move, old man, I have a lively look, where is the reason for vitality, go play." ”
Only then did he stand up, turned around and walked into the courtyard, looked at Yueqing with both eyes, and said, "Please." ”
Yue Qing put down the tea in his hand, got up slowly, and then came to the front of the night with slow steps, stood firm, and a pair of peach blossom eyes fell on the night's body, and said: "This kind of thing is really not suitable for me, just a few simple tricks, such a hot weather, a sweat smell, but it smells very bad, the little girl doesn't like this smell, please." ”
After the word "please", the two sides made a move, different from Shao Siyu's simple and simple in the same month, they seemed to be feeding the moves, you come and go, both sides play defensively, and there is no offensive, their way of playing, so that this competition becomes endless.
Shen Qingjiu knows the ability of the night, since the day she came to the demon city, she has known the night, the night is not a demon killer, but, he knows the art of demon removal, although he is not a person from the demon hunting mansion, but, he has a deep relationship with the demon hunting mansion, at the same time, the night is also the honorary president of the demon city martial arts association, so he has a high reputation in the demon city, no matter who it is, he will give him three points.
And the opponent of the night, Yueqing, who just stayed in the Taiji Building yesterday, Shen Qingjiu didn't know so much, she only felt that this Yueqing was not very human, the kind of pure and pure breath on his body would wash people's hearts, and his gentle smile would make people's whole hearts feel warm, but none of this could prove that he could fight all night.
Jiuli turned to the side, interrupted her train of thought, and said, "Xiaojiu, which of them do you think can win, let's make a bet, if you win, I have something good for you, and it will be regarded as a lottery head." ”
Good stuff?
Shen Qingjiu's eyes flashed, and at the same time, she totaled it in her heart, although she felt that winning or losing was not important, but when she saw the game, she still couldn't help but want to guess who would win, and now the two people competing on the field, from her selfishness, Shen Qingjiu's heart was biased, and she was silent for a moment, and said, "I think Brother Night will win." ”
Jiuli shook his head with a smile and said, "In my opinion, your brother Ye will take the initiative to admit defeat, and Taijilou, a guest called Yueqing, will win this competition." ”
Shen Qingjiu looked at him inexplicably and asked, "Why?" ”
Jiuli raised his hand and pointed to the scene of the martial arts competition and said, "Just look at it." ”
Looking along his fingers, on the martial arts field, the two people who were still competing had already separated, and they stood up separately, only to see Ye raise his hands and bow at Yueqing, saying: "Your Excellency is a chess player, and you are losing." ”
Yueqing tilted his head and said: "The competition has not yet reached the end, the outcome has not been decided, and it is too early to say whether to win or lose." ”
Ye slowly shook his head and said, "You don't have to try it, you should save me some face." ”
After saying this, Ye turned to face Jiuli and said, "Old man, I'm sorry for you, I lost." ”
Jiuli didn't care, and said: "It's just playing, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, okay, with such a big sun, everyone is tired, let's stop here today." ”
Shen Qingjiu immediately got up and stood up, and said, "I'm sorry for Grandpa Jiu, there are still some things in Taijilou, so we'll leave first, and come to visit Grandpa Jiu another day." ”
Jiuli didn't keep her either, but before she left, he beckoned her to come closer and said, "Although you lost the bet, Grandpa Jiu still has something good for you." ”
As he spoke, he took out something from his wide sleeve, which turned out to be a lollipop wrapped in colored paper, seeing this lollipop, Shen Qingjiu couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that the good thing he said meant this.
Shen Qingjiu took the lollipop in his hand and said sweetly: "Then thank you Grandpa Jiu." ”
After guessing and losing and winning the lottery, Shen Qingjiu left the Demon Hunting Mansion with Yueqing and Shao Siyu and returned to Taiji Tower.
After they left, Yue Yi got up, bowed to Jiuli without saying a word, turned around and left, Ye was just about to open his mouth to call him, but Jiuli spoke first, saying: "Don't pay attention to it, let him go, Ye, you stay and talk to me, I have something to ask you." ”
Ye sat down again, leaving Yue alone.
