278. Storm clouds

"ÄÅ¿" cat secret telegram came, the big flower cat, the "black cat sheriff", the "hero big yellow cat", the "black and white cat", and the cat Xiaobai five civets gathered in the Chang'an City Tower, ready to watch this unique human ring match.

"Meow! Not only do we love to play cat and mouse, but we also love to watch the ring. The big cat looked out at the center of the ring and meowed.

"Meow - the hero sees something the same." The hero Big Yellow Cat agreed and meowed: "All five of us cats have lost their heroic nature. ”

"Meow! Rheum! The big black cat looked up to the sky and meowed: "My admiration for you also seems to be like a surging river, endless." ”

"Meow!" The "black and white cat" smiled and meowed at the big black cat: "Big black, you really know how to pat on the back, no, slap the cat's fart, not slap the dog fart and put the dog fart!" My admiration for you is also like a surging river, endless. ”

"Meow!" The "little white cat" couldn't help but meow: "Big black, you really know how to pat on the back, no, pat the cat's fart, not pat the dog and put the dog fart!" My admiration for you is also like a surging river, endless. ”

In the blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, the sky is overcast and gloomy, and the autumn wind is gradually rising, which makes people feel very cold.

"Knock-knock-knock-" There was a sound of gongs and drums on the high handsome platform in the teaching field, and then I saw a eunuch standing in front of the handsome platform with an edict in his hand and recited loudly to the crowd of thousands of people under the stage: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: In the first year of Anqing, Ding Mao looked at the sun in August, in order to promote martial arts talents, Kyoto martial arts test was held during today's Mid-Autumn Festival. The chief examiner, Chen Tianzhong, the prime minister, and the deputy chief examiner, Generalissimo Zhu Weideng. I hope that all martial arts heroes will show their abilities for national reuse! Chin this! ”

"Please listen to the rules of the martial arts examination room!" I saw that the eunuch took out another official document and announced in public: "First, the examinee walks into the ring from the front, reports his name and surname, and chooses his own blade; Second, the test taker must not use a hidden weapon to avoid injuring others, otherwise he or she will be disqualified from taking the test; Third, both sides of the test must not intentionally hurt each other, otherwise, they will be questioned by law; Fourth, the test taker will temporarily retire from the test after winning five consecutive games, and can take the test again after five games; Fifth, if both sides of the competition are forced out of the ring, the one on the stage wins; Sixth, the opponent who abandons the battle in the middle of the competition wins; Seventh, during the competition, the audience must not help each other secretly, otherwise, the law will be questioned; Eighth, the two sides of the competition shall not collude to deliberately defeat each other, otherwise, they will be questioned by law; Ninth, if the competition is tied, after five games, there will be additional tests until the winner is decided; Tenth, women are not allowed to take the exam; Eleventh, both sides are beaten down, and both are defeated; Twelfth, on the third day of the competition, the first place is the champion of this year's martial arts test, the second is the martial arts test leader, and the second is the martial arts flower. ”

After the announcement, I saw the generalissimo Zhu Weideng walking to the front of the ring, he stared at the martial arts boys from all parties who came to take the exam in the audience, and he couldn't help but feel extremely excited and worried. He knew in his heart that there was already a martial arts catastrophe happening today, and martial arts celebrities from all sides were killed one after another, and there were few famous martial arts warriors left. However, now that the national crisis is at hand, and there is a lack of martial arts talents in the country, we must take this opportunity to select military generals in one fell swoop, let them serve the country, and use them to stabilize the country and level the world. However, who can win this year's martial arts champion? Could it be that this martial champion will be among the 10,000 people under this stage?

Zhu Weideng looked at the audience and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Because in his eyes, the team holding high the banners of the eight major sects such as "Shaolin", "Wudang", "Tianshan", "Emei", "Huashan", "Kunlun" and "Kongtong" is only an empty name and a false pretense after this martial arts catastrophe. They are compared to the first Taibao "Shenxing Taibao" Shen Taiji, the second Taibao "Emperor's Secret Envoy" Situ Yimin, the third Taibao "Sun and Moon Star Chaser" Zhao Yanping, the fourth Taibao "Tongtian Lightning Knife" Zhuang Tianxiong, the fifth Taibao "Tongdi Dharma Sword" Zhuang Dixiong, the sixth Taibao "Thunderbolt Flying Hammer" Hua Zhixiong, the seventh Taibao "hidden knife in the sleeve" Baili Changchun, the eighth Taibao "Double Gun Taibao" Zhou Pengfei, the ninth Taibao "Killing Flower Gun" Song Tanghan, the tenth Taibao "Flying God Mouse" Wumengerban, the eleventh Taibao "Life-seeking Taibao" Ye Jiaquan, The 12th Taibao "Cold Wind Chasing Cloud Sword" Ma Delong, the 13th Taibao "Thirteen Taro" Zuo Renlong, the 14th Taibao "Wind and Fire Smoke Cloud Hand" Lei Tianming, the 15th Taibao "Chasing the Soul" Qin Tianxia, the 16th Taibao "Flying Snake" Feng Huanan, the 17th Taibao "Holy Hand Zhenjingzhou" Chai Shirong, the 18th Taibao "Smoke and Clouds" Shan Jinfeng, the "Eighteen Taibao" is simply a world of difference.

However, the "Eighteen Taibao" are the heroes of the Great Inner Group, but they have no chance to participate in this martial arts test in the capital. Moreover, in this ring competition, Murong Shanshui, the "first shot of the Beijing Division", and the "Eighteen Taibao" shouldered the heavy responsibility of leading the Imperial Forest Army to maintain the safety of the ring and the entire training ground, and they must beware of the sudden arrival of the killers in the rivers and lakes. However, this annual practice must not be abolished in order to prevent the attack of killers in the rivers and lakes, not to mention the fact that the emperor has already issued an edict that the champion of the martial arts examination must be selected within three days, starting from today's 15 August.

From this point of view, this year's martial champion is only Chen Jian, the son of Prime Minister Chen Cheng, and he is the only one in South Africa! Because Zhu Weideng knew in his heart that this young master of Chen Tianzhong had been familiar with military books and war strategies, calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and he also practiced good martial arts, and a big fan was already famous in the capital. Therefore, the people of the capital are called him the "Golden Fan Prince". Because of this, Chen Jiannan, with his status and power as Lao Tzu, is even more arrogant and empty-eyed in the capital, and this person also has a strong competitive heart. Although Chen Jiannan was the champion of this year's imperial examination, he still refused to be satisfied and must come to participate in this year's martial arts examination. It is conceivable that this Chen Jiannan relies on his own little ability, and his father Chen Tianzhong is the main examiner of the martial arts examination to support him, wouldn't it be easy for him to win this year's martial arts champion?

However, Zhu Weideng had already heard of the bad deeds of the "Golden Fan Prince" Chen Jiannan, and knew that this person must be a scheming trouser brother, if he was repeatedly won the position of the champion of literature and martial arts by such figures as he in the current country when there was a shortage of talents, wouldn't it be a disaster for the country and the people in the future? How he hoped that among the 10,000 people in this audience, a first-class wizard could be lowered to win this year's martial champion! ……

Thinking of this, Zhu Weideng looked at the crowd that was gradually noisy, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Martial arts righteous warriors from all sides, now 'the country is in trouble, and the husband is responsible'. You can't just watch the domestic warlords, martial arts melee and killing! Therefore, at a time when the country is lacking a pillar, I, Zhu Weideng, hope that you will bravely ascend to the high platform of the martial arts test and display what you have learned for the country's choice. In the future, we must serve the country by killing the enemy, governing the country and securing the country! ”

"Whoa—whoa—whoa—whoa—" After listening to Marshal Zhu Weideng's words of righteous indignation, there was already thunderous applause and an uproar among the 10,000 people under the ring, and it was endless for a long time. There were indescribable passions and commotions, because they knew in their hearts that the annual martial arts test was about to begin, and Marshal Zhu Weideng's generous words gave them great courage and confidence.

At this time, I saw Zhu Weideng look around again and said, "The martial arts test has officially begun, and those who want to take the test on stage can play!" ”

After speaking, Marshal Zhu Weideng retreated to his original position and sat next to Chen Tianzhong, the left prime minister.

At this moment, I saw a young man with a knife walking out of the back of the ring, and he bowed his hand and said, "Prime Minister!" Marshal! The younger generation is not talented, and is willing to take the lead to win this martial champion! ”

Hearing this, Chen Tianzhong and Zhu Weideng, as well as the sword-carrying guards in the ring, raised their eyes one after another, and they all knew the person who spoke - this person was Yang Xiangui, the son of the general Yang Neng, who was the third place in the palace examination for the capital this year, only behind Chen Jiannan, the "golden fan son" and Chen Zhengfeng.

"Hahaha! …… Young Master Yang! Guts! Chen Tianzhong couldn't help but praise, "Your father is a general, and the general is really out of the tiger!" Good! With an old man here to watch the battle for you, you will boldly compete! ”

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Yang Xiangui thanked him and walked to the ring. He was about to speak to the stage, but he saw a sword-wielding samurai already in the ring.

Seeing this situation, Yang Xiangui bowed his hand to the comer and said: "I am Yang Xiangui, a disciple of the capital!" Who's coming? ”

At this time, I saw that the sword-carrying warrior also bowed his hand and said, "I am Gong Fanyi, a son of Cangzhou!" I am willing to compete with Yang Gongzi! ”

"Good!" I saw Yang Xiangui Huo Di pull out his saber, his left hand had dropped the scabbard, and he said to Gong Fanyi: "Brother Gong! Make a move, please! ”

"Gong is offended!" After Gong Fanyi finished speaking, he suddenly drew his sword, showing the momentum of "straight to the sky".

Let's say that Yang Xiangui at this time looked at the other party, and did not take the initiative to attack, but squatted steadily, raised his knife over the top and posed a "evil tiger waiting for food".

At this time, I only heard a gong sound in the ring, and suddenly saw Gong Fanyi's "ah-" scream, and stabbed Yang Xiangui with his sword. Seeing this situation, Yang Xiangui suddenly changed his tactics and waved his sword to "seal the portal" to block the attacking sword. Besides, Gong Fanyi was blocked by the other party, and he couldn't help but make a "rhinoceros looking at the moon" trend; At the same time, he returned to a sword, which is a veritable "return to the horse gun"; And his sharp sword was already "Li Guang Shooting Stone" and "Stealing Peaches at the Bottom of the Leaves" in one go, and the edge was aimed directly at Yang Xiangui's abdomen. Yang Xiangui saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly kicked his feet and jumped up, and a "Dapeng spread his wings" over the top of Gong Fanyi's head; Taking this opportunity, Yang Xiangui had already closed his chest in mid-air and swung his sword, which was a "force splitting Huashan" blade that cut Gong Fanyi's sword body. Seeing that the other party's momentum was fierce and fast, Gong Fanyi didn't dare to meet the front with his sword, and hurriedly jumped out of the circle with a "volley spin". At this time, Yang Xiangui saw that the knife had been split into the air, so he chased after it, and a burst of "gossip serial knives" approached Gong Fanyi. At this moment, Gong Fanyi only had the power to parry and had no chance to fight back. This scene suddenly made the audience on and off the stage can't help but applaud.

However, although Gong Fanyi was forced to retreat again and again by Yang Xiangui's "gossip chain" fast knife, he still relied on his flexible and changeable body technique to gradually consume the opponent's "stormy" knife technique. When he saw that the time had come, he suddenly lifted his spirits, and a cold sword had been swung and flashed, as if "ten thousand snakes were dispatched", and Yang Xiangui was hit again and again to parry and retreat. Suddenly, there was another round of cheers. But seeing that the cheers had not subsided, Gong Fanyi suddenly changed his sword style, and a "white snake spit letter" went straight to Yang Xiangui's throat. Let's say that Yang Xiangui saw the coming sword, and hurriedly a "woman worships Wanfu" after dodging the blade of the sword, his treasure knife has already picked up Gong Fanyi's belt with a "cloud across the mountainside". However, what Yang Xiangui never expected was that at the same moment, he suddenly felt a chill in his neck, and Gong Fanyi's sword had actually reached his neck.

"Stop-" I saw a prison officer suddenly shouting at the two of them: "The prime minister has an order!" The two of you will try to tie each other, and after five games, you will play again. ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiangui and Gong Fanyi saluted each other, and after bowing to the two examiners, Chen Chengxiang and Marshal Zhu, they withdrew from the martial arts test ring respectively.
