Volume 1, Chapter 9, Backstage of the Bandits
With the bright moon in June and the insects in the lotus pond, Situ Jianzhuang held a bonfire to meet friends.
The two elders of Jianzhuang and the master of Situ Qingzhuang made judgments, and the friends of the martial arts were pointed.
Many Jianghu people also actively participated, and the wonderful fights added a lot of fun.
Zhao Zhengli is a vigorous eating and drinking, because the Situ family's wine and meat are really fragrant, he thought while eating, how good it would be if he could bring some to Yuan Daoren, this wine moistens the throat but is not spicy, this meat is full of flavor, he is absolutely sorry to think about it, he should ask his senior brother to go all the way down the mountain.
A young man's voice came from the room: "That white-faced man. Bandit hero, can you enjoy your face and try to compete with Xiao Dai? ”
The whole audience followed his gaze to look at the white-faced boy who was immersed in eating and drinking, but the other party did not react at all, and still ate by himself, which attracted many people from the rivers and lakes.
The strong man Lao Yue touched Zhao Zhengli: "Dao Chief, someone is looking for you to compete!" ”
Only then did he raise his head, holding the pig's trotters in one hand and the wine in the other, and chewing in his mouth, and found that the whole audience was staring at him, and a young man in the arena was waiting for his response with a good temper.
Zhao Zhengli waved his hand holding the pig's trotters: "Where is the competition to eat and drink?" You find someone else, this good wine and good food can't be disappointed. ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience laughed, only Situ Jianzhuang had a long face, and several elders and the owner of the village obviously enjoyed this inadvertent sycophancy.
The young man who called himself Xiao Dai in the field did not vomit, and said: "Xiao Dai just wants to judge whether I can participate in the suppression through the hero's skills. Qualifications of bandits. ”
As soon as this remark came out, it directly raised the friendship to several levels, which made it impossible to refuse.
The middle-aged Hu Hai wanted to take this opportunity to share the worries of the white-faced Taoist priest and add some favor: "Let me try it?" ”
As soon as he answered, he aroused strong dissatisfaction, the age gap between the two is large, and the natural gap in cultivation is large, this is not clear to bully the small?
Hu Hai complained bitterly, and you will know what it means to bully the small with the big later, anyway, he did it for his favor.
The voice of resistance that had just been calmed down sounded in a crisp voice: "Let my sister try it first!" ”
The person who spoke was Jasper Birou not far away, this action was beyond the scope of Zhao Daochang's thinking, how many of them struggled to step forward? Isn't it that I'm afraid that I'll lose it. The face of the bandit hero?
Of course, his real intentions are not stupid, it is nothing more than a good impression in front of him, and the follow-up cooperation will be more pleasant, in fact, he wants to say that he wants to cooperate deeply from the moment the two sisters take off the veil.
All this is a different scene in the eyes of others, and they all think that the white-faced boy is a "vase" that is protected by a few companions in turn.
Zhao Daochang naturally didn't care about these, he felt that what he ate in his stomach at the moment was real, even if he was crowned "the first in the world", what was the use? You can't eat or drink, and it's an eyesore and a sign of hatred.
The two sisters of Jasper Birou successfully replaced the "vase" they supported, only Jasper was the only one who entered, she wore a long skirt, carried a thin sword in one hand, and through the bonfire, she could see her squinting and observing the movement of Zhao Vase, and Zhao Vase was grinning at her, the smile was like bathing in the spring breeze, extremely gentle, and the jasper looked flickering, and hurriedly dodged.
Just like the sentence "Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world." As long as you just observe the watery smile of Zhao Vase, you can understand this reason.
But it's a pity that few people pay attention to him, and Biyu and Birou happened to see it, and the two sisters only felt that his smile almost killed them.
The two women understood the joke that circulated on the beauty list in Beijing: "A beautiful woman seduces the soul, and a good-looking man kills." ”
Isn't this white-faced Taoist priest the one who took his life?
The fight unfolded, Xiao Dai held a long sword to meet, Biyu held a thin sword in one hand to follow, the two fought in an instant, Jasper's body flashed the opponent's full strength with a sword, and then fluttered from the side and back, silently like a ghost, Xiao Dai didn't have time to turn around and lift the sword side, by inertia to move back a few meters to open the distance, Jasper chased with a sword, the volley of the body like a fairy, the skirt fluttered, and the thin sword stabbed directly.
Xiao Dai pulled away enough distance, and also had time to make a block counterattack, the sword as thin as a silver snake approached in an instant, Xiao Dai was expecting the horizontal sword to resist, who knew that the other party suddenly moved sideways in the air, appeared behind his side, and when he reacted, a thin sword was already on his neck.
This strange body method made the people present look surprised, the formation shift and transposition in the formation are almost contrary to common sense, but people have done it, just fought but ten moves, two of which were transposition, Xiao Dai also lost the convincing, but before leaving the scene, the eyes of Zhao Vase were still full of disdain and disdain.
Zhao Daochang smiled at him, after all, losers also need comfort.
Then he began to eat and drink again, and the amount of food he ate was obvious to several people, so he didn't think it was strange.
Later, there was a competition between the people of the rivers and lakes, and Lao Yue also stepped forward to join in the excitement with the strength of wine, and competed with a tall and thin man with a gun, the two fought more than 100 times, and finally narrowly defeated the other party by half a move, becoming one of the few wonderful fights.
In the second half, Situ Jianzhuang, the owner of Situ Jianzhuang, in order to help the end of the season, specially invited Hu Hai to compete, the two are also kendo masters, and they continued to fight hundreds of times without using real qi, and the amazing martial arts directly pushed the scene to a high level. tide, and in the end, Situ Qing deliberately lost half a move to Hu Hai to finish.
After all, the realm of the two is also top-notch on the scene, and there are a few who can see the flaws, and more people still think that the battle is a draw.
Zhao Huahua sighed secretly beside him, sure enough, women have a lot of eyes, Situ Qing also sold Hu Hai a face without losing face, and a simple martial arts competition was full of human feelings.
"Master Situ Zhuang is so Yaxing! Can you compare your face with Lao Cao? ”
A deep voice came from outside the Sword Village, and before the words fell, several figures appeared on the wall like ghosts.
, the leader of the black-robed man is more than fifty, holding a long sword, under the moonlight, a pair of eagle eyes are faintly seen looking down on everyone, and the youngest on both sides of the wall is in his early thirties, and the back is exposed with the hilt of the sword.
Situ Qing was shocked: "Cao Mengning? Then he calmly said, "What do you do when you come to Honjo late at night?" ”
Cao Mengning, who was dressed in a black robe, twisted his goatee and said: "Lao Cao doesn't want to be an enemy of Guijianzhuang, but unfortunately someone beheaded dozens of my brothers in Erli Township, Daba County yesterday, and today Lao Cao Xun's footprints are here." ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
Several black-robed men behind him shouted in unison, resounding through the night sky of June in Sword Village.
Situ Qing's eyebrows furrowed, and he swept his gaze over the five heroes and then looked at his own family elders with inquiring eyes, and the elders nodded slightly, and then she spoke: "I'm afraid that revenge is fake, is it true to listen to Liu Junshou's orders?" ”
Cao Mengning landed in the courtyard one by one, so that everyone could see his thin and godly old face, standing with his sword in his hand, and did not hide his intentions: "Liu Junshou is generous to the righteous people in the rivers and lakes, and only those of you who are not in his eyes will be jealous." Lao Cao avenged the revenge of killing his brothers, and by the way, was there anything wrong with helping him to guard the county? ”
A slightly older Jianghu man in the field was indignant: "As a Jianghu person, I am ashamed of you, abandoning the people of Shu and committing adultery with the incompetent county guards." ”
Hearing this, the black-robed Cao Mengning slapped it with one hand in the air, only to see that the people in the rivers and lakes who spoke were killed in an instant, blood spilled on the spot, and the majestic palm power directly overturned the wine and meat on the table.
"People who talk a lot die fast!"
He slowly withdrew his palm, his feet did not move, his head did not move, as if he had slapped a fly with ease.
"Zong, Grandmaster Master?"
Many people in the rivers and lakes shouted and retreated, and the grandmaster's shot spread for dozens of miles in an instant, just now this palm was too fast, and he didn't have time to react, Zhao Zhengli didn't expect that this old man would make a move in public in Situ Jianzhuang.
Situ Qing, the owner of the village who reacted, burst out and shouted: "Kill people in public, don't you exist when I am Situ Jianzhuang?" The people in the rivers and lakes present are all guests invited by our company, and today's events must be explained. ”
The words must have been churning all over her body, and the two elders behind her hurriedly stopped her.
Before the five parties had time to speak, Hu Hai and Jade Birou both set their eyes on the white-faced Taoist priest, because several people panicked when they learned that the other party was a grandmaster master, but he was still calmly eating a few dishes that were eaten and wiped clean by himself.
To be able to do this, you either have the strength or the strategy, and there is a possibility that they don't want to predict, that is, forcibly pretending!
Of course, they didn't think that the white-faced Taoist priest had the strength to fight against the grandmaster, at most he had the strength to get out.
At this moment, Zhao Huahua is waiting, and when Situ Jianzhuang can make a little effort, then he can know how much truth he has. If they have scruples, it means that they do not know that it is the imperial court that is collecting evidence.
After all, the rivers and lakes are sinister, and he doesn't know Situ Jianzhuang's intentions to suddenly gang up and stand in line.
Cao Mengning smiled contemptuously when she saw her posture about to make a move: "According to my investigation, it seems that the Sect Master Elder of your Situ Jianzhuang went to Emei to find an old man to catch up!" At present, it is estimated that a few little grandmasters behind me can sweep unhindered, so do I know people and make friends, or do I take people myself? ”
Elder Jianzhuang spoke: "Cao Mengning, don't regret today's incident!" ”
Cao Mengning raised his head and laughed: "Regret? Haha, the game of the rivers and lakes, the division of the court, this is very common. Then his eyes were fixed on Situ Jianzhuang and a few people, and the long sword was pointed directly at the five people. Bandit hero: "Today, Lao Cao only needs those five people, if he wants to stop them, let them come!" ”
The people of the rivers and lakes who gathered in the courtyard made a mistake for a while, and they were resentful in their hearts but had no strength to resist, and the few people in Situ Jianzhuang also had a gloomy face, obviously they couldn't be good tonight, and more importantly, this place was Situ Jianzhuang, and they were going to fight in the rivers and lakes, and the Situ family would definitely lose their reputation in the rivers and lakes in the future.
Just when a few people hesitated, Cao Mengning grabbed Hu Hai sideways with an arrow step, in his understanding, Hu Hai was most likely the leader of the five, both in appearance and bearing, above the strong man Lao Yue, as for the other three juniors, he didn't even think about it.
"Boom!"
Just as Daochang Zhao made a move, he suddenly saw Situ Qing blocking Cao Mengning with a sword, and the long sword fell between the two of them, sinking into the slate several feet deep. The human leader resisted.
Among them, it is mainly because of the reputation of Jianzhuang, even if he loses in the end, he is fortunate to be strong on his sidelines, and he is good at explaining to the rivers and lakes. The forces behind the bandits are easy to explain, of course, Situ Qing is also gambling, even if Cao Mengning is defeated, he will not dare to kill her, so this time she has the intention of fighting with all her might.
Cao Mengning didn't talk nonsense anymore, seeing that she stood up with a sword to block it, raised her foot and kicked the sword away, and then took Hu Hai straight with her claws.
Hu Hai naturally would not sit still, and raised his sword to block it with his true qi, at this time Situ Qing was already approaching, and then the two little grandmasters joined forces to resist the grandmaster master, and the courtyard was full of sword qi, and the true qi was full of sky, and the two little grandmasters were almost crushed by the critical hit.
"Kill!"
Several small grandmasters standing on the wall saw Cao Mengning do it, they naturally followed, and the target was to take the remaining four people directly, and they fought together in the courtyard, which surprised Zhao Zhengli that most of the Jianghu people chose to watch from the sidelines, and he was also relieved, Jianghu people are also people, so they are naturally afraid of death, and they only help a small number of powerful people, and a few powerful people in Situ Jianzhuang are naturally among them.
On Hu Hai's side, he and Situ Qing didn't work together to withstand Cao Mengning's ten moves, and they both bled blood, on the other hand, Cao Mengning's black robe in the Grandmaster Realm was not messy, and even the sword was not unsheathed.
Seeing that the situation was no longer reserved, Zhao Zhengli released the strength of the Grandmaster Realm, and slapped the little Grandmaster who had fought with him for dozens of moves.
The whole audience felt the great change in their true qi, and then looked at the white-faced boy with almost frightened eyes.
At this moment, the most slap in the face was Xiao Dai, who was looking for him to compete earlier, and he suddenly felt cold when he thought of the picture of his disdain and disdain after he was defeated.
Lao Yue and Jasper Birou, who had been with him for two days, were also like encountering monsters, they were both surprised and afraid.
The young white-faced Dao Leader appeared opposite Cao Mengning in one step in the air, leaving dozens of afterimages in the air in a simple single step, which was the embodiment of speed to the extreme, and also a deep understanding of the Dao.
