Chapter 170: Three games and two wins determine the winner or loser
Yunqi Palace is the largest sect in the Xilan Kingdom, after hundreds of years of development and precipitation, not only has an inextricable relationship with the imperial court, but also many small sects are also attached to it, and the industries operated are even more varied, and the wealth is so intimidating to other sects.
Baixianzhuang is only the third generation from the first owner to Yan Yifan, and it is not the same as the century-old foundation of others.
Yunqi Palace has a hard monopoly on many industries in the West Cold Country by relying on the background, and Baixianzhuang can only survive in the cracks, competing with other small sects for the scraps that Yunqi Palace does not want.
Even so, sometimes it takes a piece of the pie to earn a head and break the blood flow.
A few days ago, Baixianzhuang bought a few cars of precious leather goods from Tianrong country, and was hijacked by a chamber of commerce called Yongchangtang when he arrived in the capital.
Secretly investigated, Yongchang Hall is backed by Yunqi Palace, so he dares to provoke so unscrupulously.
"It's easy in the past, but I'm afraid that the Hongmen Banquet is hiding a murderous machine and it's hard to go back!" Yan Yifan has concerns.
Gu Shengchao was filled with righteous indignation: "The owner of the village has a request, and he must go all out in the future." ”
"Okay."
Yan Yifan was overjoyed: "I summoned Tian Mang back for this matter, with the help of young heroes, even if I don't return the leather goods, I have to let them know that my Baixianzhuang is not easy to mess with." ”
"Brother Tian Mang, do you want to go back to the Tianqing Gang?" Gu Shengchao didn't understand the point of them going there.
Yan Yifan shook his head: "I'm not going." We had some festivals with the Tianqing Gang, but seeing that they were developing like the sky, we sent Tian Mang to go undercover, first, to understand the situation so that I Baixianzhuang could follow suit, and secondly, to enjoy the shade under the big tree. I don't know that they sell hibiscus paste behind their backs, and they actually do some things that hurt heaven and reason, which is not my name and decency. ”
"Yongchang Hall is Longtan Tiger's Den, and I have to break into it to see what the goods are inside." Yan Yifan's eyes were firm.
Send the post over, make an appointment, Yan Yifan led everyone to Yongchang Hall.
Cao Lang, the master of Yongchang Hall, was a young and talented man, and when he saw them coming, he set up a sumptuous banquet to entertain them.
There is a pleasant sound of silk and bamboo, accompanied by Mei Ji dancing.
Cao Lang raised his glass and said: "I have heard for a long time that Baixianzhuang is full of talents, and has never had the opportunity to learn, so I have made a decision to invite Lord Yan Zhuang to come here, please have a lot of seas. I, Yongchangtang, don't measure my strength, I want to compete with Baixianzhuang in swordsmanship, palm and bow and crossbow skills, no matter whether I win or lose, all the leather goods will be returned, what is the solemn idea? ”
People's words have been put here, if there is a real fiasco, no one is embarrassed to take the goods, and it is clear that retreat is advancing.
"Okay, I'll play with you." Yan Yifan readily agreed.
If you don't agree, you will already lose, so you can only leave in disgrace, and when you see people in the future, you will naturally be three points shorter, which makes people in the rivers and lakes laugh.
Yan Yifan discussed with everyone, Tian Mang took the lead in the swordsmanship, Gu Shengchao competed with the other party, and Yan Yifan was confident that the bow and crossbow technique was unique and wanted to compete with them.
Amid the sound of drums, the back wall of the hall where the banquet was held slowly opened, revealing the venue that had been prepared for a long time behind.
Among them, a person standing in the blue circle waited with a sword, and Cao Lang lit a stick of incense: "The sword is ruthless, don't hurt the harmony, a stick of incense is evenly matched in time, and the first to come out of the blue circle is negative, and the swordsmanship, palm and bow and crossbow are two wins in three games, what do you think?" ”
"Listen to you." Tian Mang walked into the circle with a sword.
A jet-black, shiny, thick heavy sword.
Gu Shengchao looked carefully, and the person opposite was familiar, it was Zheng Kaifeng, the original Western Heavenly King of the Martial King Palace.
Zheng Kaifeng kidnapped Liu Ximei's goddaughter Wei Chi Yao in the Dawu Dynasty, and after being driven away by them, her whereabouts are unknown, and she actually appeared in the Xilan Kingdom.
I have the impression that he is playing with a spear, how to use a sword.
I don't understand, Gu Shengchao watched patiently.
The two tried a few tricks, but they competed against each other and refused to show weakness.
After dozens of moves, Gu Shengchao was shocked, Zheng Kaifeng's swordsmanship was no different from Shui Linglong, it was obviously the Qingyun swordsmanship of Yunqi Palace.
Zheng Kaifeng was able to become the king of the West in the Wuwang Palace, except for the Wuwang Palace, which was prevalent at that time to be flattering and flattering, it was also embarrassing to have no real materials.
He has a sword that is haunting, and the balance between the virtual and the real is just right, and Gu Shengchao is also ashamed of himself.
Tian Mang gradually lost the upper hand, Zheng Kaifeng was overjoyed, and the sword went straight down.
"Bell!"
Tian Mang held the sword in his right hand and took this move, and stabbed the opponent in the chest with his left hand.
"Poof!"
Rao is Zheng Kaifeng reacted quickly, and the placket on his chest was torn, but it did not hurt the vital point.
Tian Mang had no sword in his left hand, and everyone found that the sword in his right hand was much thinner, and it had been divided into two, with two swords in his hand.
Zheng Kaifeng escaped death just now, and at this time he became cautious and did not dare to act rashly.
Tian Mang made the swordsmanship of the double sword and the double sword gate similar and different, each with its own merits, including the use of Wanyan Xi's double swords, all of which originated from the phoenix dance sword technique.
It's just that the Phoenix Dance Sword Technique has lost the three most important moves from the beginning, and there is also a problem with seeking the inheritance of the Phoenix Sword Technique, resulting in it gradually becoming unknown.
For the first time, Gu Shengchao carefully watched the Phoenix Dance Sword Technique, although he knew that the set of sword techniques that circulated later was congenitally defective, he still couldn't help but observe it carefully, and gradually saw some clues.
Engraved on the stone wall of Gongsun Qiu in the Snake Island Grottoes of the Valley of the Four Kings, he was imprisoned and forced by his brother Sima Xicheng to write a half-true and half-false phoenix dance swordsmanship, and then found an opportunity to escape.
Looking at Tian Mang's moves now, the left-hand swordsmanship and the phoenix dance swordsmanship are plausible, and the appearance of eight or nine is not far from ten, it can be concluded that Gongsun Qiu only made minor adjustments in his swordsmanship in order to survive, otherwise Sima Xicheng, as a senior brother, would definitely see through it.
This has also caused the decline of the Phoenix Dance Sword Technique, and the successors of the Phoenix Sword Technique can still have outstanding features.
Gu Shengchao noticed that when Tian Mang's left hand Feng Wu swordsmanship was used, his right hand often made some seemingly strange movements. When the right hand seeks the phoenix swordsmanship to meet the enemy, the left hand is not idle, as if hooking, leading, probing, and pulling, inadvertently cooperating with the right hand.
Just as he was concentrating, there was a sound of gongs and drums, and Cao Lang said loudly: "A stick of incense has been exhausted, and the two heroes are indistinguishable from each other and have a draw." ”
"Concession." Tian Mang's two swords were buckled together and restored to the appearance of a heavy sword, and he strode off the field with his head up.
Zheng Kaifeng was annoyed but couldn't do anything.
One person jumped into the circle and said, "Which hero in Baixianzhuang will come on the field and compete with me." ”
"I would like to accompany this hero to live a few tricks." Gu Shengchao stepped forward and arched his hand.
The two were about to fight, Zheng Kaifeng recognized Gu Shengchao and stopped in time: "Stop, he is from the Dawu Dynasty." ”
"This brother's words are wrong, your hall master didn't say that you can't use outsiders, besides, aren't you also from the Dawu Dynasty?" Gu Shengchao looked at Zheng Kaifeng and said with a smile.
Zheng Kaifeng did not shy away from saying: "It is true that I am from the Dawu Dynasty, but I have already worshiped the old Nangong Pavilion of the Inner Courtyard of Yunqi Palace as a teacher, so I am naturally from the Xileng Kingdom." ”
He stared at Gu Shengchao with ill intentions: "Which master does Your Excellency worship as your teacher, if I remember correctly, you are still a court official of the Dawu Dynasty." ”
Zheng Kaifeng's words caused a commotion at the scene.
"No, outsiders can't compete."
"That's it, he's still an official of the Dawu Dynasty, isn't this a slap in our face?"
"Substitutions, you can't let outsiders play."
Everyone talked about it, and the scene was a little embarrassing.
Cao Lang took a few steps forward and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet, let me say a word." ”
The chatter gradually stopped, and they all pricked up their ears to listen to him.
"I have two ways, first, let Baixianzhuang make substitutions, and second, if they don't have enough manpower to make substitutions, this game will be considered invalid, regardless of whether they win or lose and the final outcome has nothing to do with the final outcome."
Cao Lang is considered to be a person who does the game, and his speech is heavy, and it is difficult to refute it, so he quietly waits for Baixianzhuang's reaction.
Yan Yifan looked at his team, and if he re-selected personnel to play, he was afraid that he would not be able to do it, so he had to say: "We have nothing to say if you go back on your word, we will fight if you want to, and we will not come to these self-deceptive deeds." ”
The person who had already played disdainfully said: "Don't dare to play, I'm afraid that my skills are not as good as others, you remember, my name is Huang Bai'an, and the next time I see the master, I have to kneel and walk away." ”
"Look for death." Gu Shengchao stepped forward with a palm.
Huang Bai'an parried and raised his foot and kicked at Gu Shengchao's lower abdomen at the same time, his body was agile and his reaction was fast.
Gu Shengchao's "Nine Heavens Blue Palm" got the true biography of Qiu Xiao, the head of the Four Kings Valley, and he did not miss the slightest flaw in every move.
The two fought for less than twenty rounds, and Gu Shengchao made a false move under his feet, taking advantage of his unstable disposition in the dodge, and raised his palm to hit Huang Bai'an's chest.
"Oops!"
Huang Bai'an fell out of the circle and fell to the ground, looking from a distance as if he was kneeling down and kowtowing to his elders.
"No courtesy, I didn't bring any New Year's money, I'll give it next time."
Gu Shengchao shook his sleeves and swaggered back to the Baixianzhuang team.
Yan Yifan was silent on the surface, but his heart was already happy. It doesn't matter if you win or lose this time, the important thing is to dispel the arrogance of the other party, so that they don't dare to act mischief in the future.
Judging from the current situation, the initial results have been achieved, and there is no reason to be unhappy.
Cao Lang glared at Huang Bai'an viciously, reproached him for being useless, and said loudly: "I just said that this battle doesn't count no matter what the result is, and now the two sides are still tied." ”
He smiled at Yan Yifan with bad intentions: "Master Yan, it's up to you in the last game." ”
The bow and crossbow contest is a competition of riding and shooting, and the two of them ride around the field respectively, and whoever shoots accurately wins. In order to make it easier to distinguish, the arrows of the two are painted in different colors, so it is clear which arrow is closer to the bull's-eye.
Yongchangtang came first, and after a few laps around the field, there were no missing arrows, and each arrow was very close to the bull's-eye.
Yan Yifan got on the horse, he decided the final victory in this game, and there was no problem in checking the bow and arrows, so he urged the horses to run quickly.
He was about to shoot the first arrow when his crotch mount suddenly became agitated, shaking restlessly from side to side.
Yan Yifan also felt a little dizzy, and he couldn't see the bull's-eye clearly in a trance, so he had to give up and continue to move forward, looking forward to starting again next time he came here.
Gu Shengchao sensed a powerful mysterious force spreading on the edge of the field.
There are masters who make bad.
Gu Shengchao remained silent, observing the movements around him.
