Chapter Twenty-Five: Arriving at Water Moon City
Yang Ming hurriedly asked the villagers to let him down, they were still in a happy atmosphere, and they didn't mean to let him down for a while, Yang Ming was also helpless, fortunately there was Huang Dafa in the crowd, Yang Ming quickly asked Huang Dafa to tell the villagers to put him down, Huang Dafa did the same, and Yang Ming was saved.
A sturdy middle-aged man walked out of the crowd of villagers, and he said to Yang Ming: "Thank you for the bloodthirsty wind wolf that the little brother eliminated for us, I am the village chief of this village, my name is Huang Bin, I see that the little brother is very good, not from our village." "This can't be blamed on Huang Bin asking Yang Ming's origin as soon as he opened his mouth, after all, Yang Ming's powerful strength is here, if Yang Ming wants to kill him, no one in their village can escape.
Yang Ming didn't blame Huang Bin, he was just staying at Huang Dafa's house for the night, and when he saw a wind wolf attacking the village, the road was uneven, and he didn't plan to ask for compensation. Yang Ming looked at Huang Bin and said with a smile: "I just happened to ask Uncle Huang Dafa for directions and stayed at his house for one night, I am not a bad person, I have to rush to Shuiyue City early tomorrow morning, so Village Chief Huang doesn't have to worry that I will have bad thoughts about the village." ”
After hearing this, Huang Bin's brows relaxed, but he didn't fully believe Yang Ming's words, at this time Huang Dafa squeezed out of the crowd, walked to Huang Bin's side and said to him: "Village chief, Yang Ming's little brother did ask me for directions to Shuiyue City, I didn't know that he was a demon warrior at the time, so I invited him to my house to spend the night, I didn't expect that there would be a bloodthirsty wind wolf attack tonight, thanks to Yang Ming's little brother, the village was spared." ”
After Huang Bin heard Huang Dafa's explanation, his expression relaxed a lot, he thanked Yang Ming again, and said with a smile: "I thank Brother Yang again for his help, I heard you say that you are going to Water Moon City, are you going to participate in the martial arts competition?" ”
When Yang Ming heard about the competition, he also concentrated his attention and said to Huang Bin: "Oh, Village Chief Huang also knows about the competition?" ”
Huang Bin said: "Water Moon City has united several nearby forces to hold a martial arts competition, this is a big event, our village is only half a day's journey away from Water Moon City, and we have already received the news." Since a month ago, there have been demon warriors rushing to Shuiyue City, and there are many people who have passed through our village, but they are all arrogant and disdain to stay in our village, so there are no other demon warriors in our village, you said that you are going to Shuiyue City, nine times out of ten it is to participate in the martial arts competition. ”
Yang Ming suddenly asked Huang Bin: "Village chief, do you know anything else about the martial arts competition?" ”
Village Chief Huang Bin said: "As far as I know, this martial arts tournament will be held the day after tomorrow, and it is jointly organized by five forces, namely the City Lord's Mansion, the Water Moon City Auction House, the Black Water Sect, the Burning Flame Gate and the Jushi Sect, because there is an age limit, each force has sent ten outstanding disciples under the age of twenty, plus the demon warriors outside, there are probably more than five hundred people in total, and I don't know the rules of the competition and the favorite candidates to win the championship." "Huang Bin is just an ordinary person, and he can only understand this information on the surface.
Yang Ming estimated that among the five hundred people, only one-tenth of the demon warriors who reached the green soul were few, that is, fifty people, with his strength, if he used all his strength, he would definitely be able to rush into the top ten, but it would expose his three attributes, so his situation would be very dangerous, so Yang Ming did not plan to use the earth attribute magic element in the martial arts competition, only the wind and thunder dual attribute magic element. But without one attribute, the difficulty of Yang Ming winning the championship increases a lot, which makes Yang Ming a headache.
Huang Bin looked at Yang Ming without saying a word, thinking that Yang Ming was not confident in his strength, so he opened his mouth to comfort: "Little brother Yang Ming, you don't have to be anxious, you are still young, and the temporary backwardness of strength does not mean anything, even if you can't get a good ranking, you are also a hero who saved the village in our village, and our villagers will respect you." ”
Yang Ming knew that Village Chief Huang Bin had misunderstood him, and said to Huang Bin with a smile: "Village Chief, you misunderstood me, I didn't speak out because I wasn't confident, but because I was thinking about how to get the championship, I need the championship prize - Thousand Thunder Meteorite." ”
"Oh, I see, it's because I'm thinking too much, so little brother Yang Ming is looking for a thousand thunder meteoric iron, is he going to create his own magic weapon?" Huang Bin asked.
Yang Ming replied: "That's right, I'm looking for the right materials to build my own magic weapon, my previous magic weapon was damaged in an experience, and I can't find a suitable replacement for the magic weapon, so I can only look for materials to build it." ”
Huang Bin suddenly realized that he had never seen Yang Ming use a weapon, and thought that Yang Ming liked hand-to-hand combat, but it turned out that the weapon was damaged and could not be used, so he was forced to fight with his fists. Suddenly, Huang Bin remembered something and asked Yang Ming eagerly: "Brother Yang, what kind of weapon do you usually use?" ”
Yang Ming wondered if Huang Bin asked him this question, could it be ...... Yang Ming replied honestly: "I am usually used to using bows and arrows. ”
Huang Bin was instantly overjoyed when he heard this, and ran home in a hurry, and ran back five minutes later, holding a long strip in his hand, which was wrapped in a layer of cloth, Huang Bin panted and said to Yang Ming: "Little brother Yang Ming, I don't know if this thing can help you, take a look." ”
Yang Ming took the long shaped object, opened the shroud that had a certain history, and found that it was a metal object inside, which was shaped like a longbow, but there was no bowstring. "It's ...... A longbow? Yang Ming looked at Huang Bin in surprise.
Huang Bin explained with a wry smile: "That's right, it's a longbow, not a longbow to be precise, just a bow embryo." ”
"Bow embryo, what is a bow embryo?" Yang Ming looked at Huang Bin in confusion.
"The so-called bow embryo is a longbow that has not been built, let me tell you a secret." Huang Bin said.
"More than 500 years ago, there was a highly skilled magic weapon forger named Wang Qikang, and the magic weapons he forged were hard to find, but there was an endless stream of people who asked him to forge magic weapons every day, because the quality of the magic weapons he forged far exceeded those forged by others. It's a pity that Huang Qikang is stubborn and self-serving, and he has a very serious suspicion, he doesn't believe in anyone, he only believes in himself, and he doesn't even believe in his own son, so even if many people want the magic weapons he forged, there are not many people who have passed them on to the world. Later, Wang Qikang was forced to ask about the art of forging, but he refused to say, which led to his entire family being hunted down, and Wang Qikang took the surviving family members to hide in a remote mountain village, incognito, so that he could leave his bloodline. However, Wang Qikang was seriously injured when he fled to the mountain village, and before he could leave the art of forging, he died leaving only an unfinished bow embryo. Huang Bin said while rethinking.
Huang Bin said: "Brother Yang, you also guessed it, our village was built by Wang Qikang's family, we are all descendants of Wang Qikang, and later evaded the pursuit and changed the surname Huang, this bow embryo is the relic left by Wang Qikang, except for this bow embryo, there is nothing else, and the descendants have not obtained the forging technique, and the Wang forging family has broken the inheritance and has become the current Huang mountain village." ”
Yang Ming handed the bow embryo to Huang Bin and said, "This bow embryo is of great significance, I can't ask for it, Village Chief Huang should take it back." ”
Huang Bin blocked Yang Ming's hand and said bitterly: "Little brother Yang Ming, you saved our village, and we don't have any remuneration to get paid, only this bow embryo is still worth a little money, it is made of star trace gold that can save magic elements, don't let us down, take it." ”
Yang Ming couldn't resist Huang Bin, so he had to accept it, and then returned to Huang Dafa's house surrounded by the villagers. As for the bowstring, it was replaced by the tendons of the bloodthirsty wind wolf leader, and the tendons of the third-level demonic beasts were not so easy to break.
Early the next morning, Yang Ming quietly left the village, he didn't want to alarm anyone, and he wanted to leave surrounded by villagers, so he simply left quietly.
After Yang Ming left the village, he kept walking to the west, and used magic skills to hurry from time to time, and after three hours, he arrived at the gate of Water Moon City, and followed the endless stream of pedestrians into Water Moon City.
Entering Water Moon City, Yang Ming inquired about the residence of the Black Water Sect, and then walked towards the Black Water Sect's station. Not long after, Yang Ming came to the door of a mansion, and two disciples guarding the door stopped Yang Ming's footsteps and asked, "Liubu, what's the matter with you." ”
Yang Ming said to the two gatekeeper disciples: "I want to find a disciple of the Black Water Sect named Cheng Lei, I don't know if he is there?" ”
One of the gatekeepers said, "Senior Brother Cheng Lei just went out and is not inside. ”
After Yang Ming thanked the two disciples, he left. He walked around the city, thinking about how to find Cheng Lei, just passing by a restaurant, and heard the sound of many people arguing inside, curiosity drove Yang Ming to look inside the restaurant, and he found that there were two groups of people arguing, and there was a familiar figure in the crowd, it was Cheng Lei.
Yang Ming walked into the restaurant and walked towards Cheng Lei, his figure attracted the attention of many people, including Cheng Lei, Cheng Lei saw Yang Ming and was about to say hello, suddenly, a teacup flew to Yang Ming's head, Cheng Lei saw this and shouted: "Yang Ming be careful." ”
Yang Ming was on the side of his head, dodging the teacup and smashing his head, Yang Ming looked coldly at the group of people in red robes, only to see a young man in a gorgeous red robe with a handsome and feminine face in the crowd looking at him with a smile.
Yang Ming questioned the young man: "Why did you attack me with a teacup?" ”
"Sneak attack, this is called a sneak attack, you are not worthy of my sneak attack. I just saw you walking towards the Blackwater Sect and wanted to warn you. The red-robed young man's eyes were always staring at Yang Ming.
Cheng Lei walked to Yang Ming's side and told Yang Ming the origin of the red-robed young man: "He is Fan Yu, the personal disciple of the master of the Burning Flame Gate, and the leader of the Burning Flame Gate in this martial arts competition. ”
Yang Ming asked Cheng Lei, "Why did your Black Water Sect conflict with the Burning Flame Sect?" ”
Cheng Lei explained: "Our Blackwater Sect and the Burning Flame Sect have a long-standing grudge, as long as we meet, quarrels are indispensable, and it is not uncommon for big fights to occur, Fan Yu saw you walking towards the position of the Blackwater Sect, it is estimated that he regarded you as a member of the Blackwater Sect." ”
Fan Yu looked at Yang Ming and said: "Boy, you can dodge the teacup I threw out, prove that you still have some strength, your name is Yang Ming, right, I will remember you, if there is a chance in the martial arts competition, I will break your hands and feet." ”
"Accompany you to the end." Yang Ming replied to Fan Yu-for-tat, Fan Yu laughed, thinking that Yang Ming was holding on, so he left the restaurant with the disciples of the Burning Flame Gate.
