Rongcheng is located in the center of the four domains of the Shang Kingdom, the Shang Kingdom does not have a middle region like the Yeyue Empire, but a city, as the national capital, Rongcheng is undoubtedly the most prosperous city in the Shang Kingdom, its scale is equivalent to five Liyang City, and there are forty-nine large and small towns as large as Sanyang Town guarding the capital in the hundreds of miles around it, if you look down from a high altitude, such a layout secretly fits the star layout of a certain constellation, it is certain that this is a super array.

In order to meet the national competition, the imperial court deliberately named one of the towns "Qunying Town", specially built 32 huge mansions covering an area of 300 zhang, which have all kinds of facilities, can be described as meticulous, considering the factors of minimizing contradictions, each house is far apart, and the 32 strong from the four regions live here.

"The big competition is about to start in two days, and you don't seem to care much!" Huai Ming looked at Fang Lin Shidao, who had a relaxed face.

"Well, there's nothing to care about, you can beat everything you can beat, and if you can't beat it, you can't beat it even if you care." Hong Tian stuffed a grape into his mouth and said heartlessly.

"You... You stinky boy, the old man is about to be by you. Huaiming said hatefully.

"Hehe, Master, it's not that you don't know me, you naturally have you who want to think about things, as for the strategic deployment of Senior Brother Fang Lin, I, hehe, I'm too lazy to care about those headaches, anyway, if you tell me to go up, I'll go up, and I'll hit whoever I want." Hong Tian doesn't care about the way.

"Haha, Brother Huaiming doesn't have to be annoyed, Master Hong Tian's nephew is bold and informal, which is also his advantage." The Great Elder smiled.

"Hehe, Uncle Shi still understands me." Hong Tiandao.

Huaiming glared at him, and said angrily: "You said you, well, you are very arrogant all day long, and you don't know how to use your brain for everything, how many times have you suffered losses for this, but every time you forget the pain of the scar, you... Ay. ”

"Hehe, in fact, there is no tension, our strength is already very strong compared to other forces, we just need to do our daily homework in the past two days, and the rest of the time can go to the capital to visit, open our eyes, and relax our mood, which is conducive to adjusting our mental state to the best." Fang Lin said with a smile.

"Well, you young people are good at walking, you can go and look around and buy something you like, but don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid, understand?" The Great Elder said.

"Yes!" Ten people responded in unison.

The Great Elder said "um" and went back to his room with Huaiming, obviously not wanting to get involved in the affairs of these juniors.

Seeing the two elders leaving, Qu Shan'er happily "yo ho" and said happily: "Let's go, I can't wait for a long time, I just don't know who is more prosperous compared to our capital and the Arctic City." ”

"Hehe, who's better, let's go and see." Li Haoran said.

"Ladies and sisters, Li Qing and I are ready to act alone, so we will leave first." Gao Xuandao.

"yes, I don't like a lot of people either, well, I'm going too, haha." Hong Tian smiled heartily.

"Alright, let's go too." Fang Lin said, and the group also happily headed towards the capital.

Xue Yue Street is a neighborhood in the western district of the capital that is famous for selling all kinds of jewelry and clothing, and when a group of people came here, the eyes of the three women were full of excitement.

"Everyone, the front is the Fang Zhai, we didn't have a good walk through a city before, this time I will buy you good clothes, senior sister, Shan'er, Lian'er, go in and have a look, I will definitely not disappoint you." Fang Lin pointed to a small three-story corridor in front of him.

A few people looked in the direction pointed by Fang Lin, and sure enough, they saw an independent three-story building, the outer wall of the floor was painted in various colors, so that those women who love beauty couldn't take their eyes off it at a glance, and the three gilded characters on the door number were particularly eye-catching, and through the open door, you could see two or three silk skirts of different styles hanging on the hangers inside, which made the eyes of the three women shine again and again.

"Hee-hee, that's great, I didn't expect there to be such a good place." Qu Shan'er smiled happily, and after speaking, she pulled Bai Lian and Concubine Shu and ran towards Fang Zhai, Fang Lin and the others glanced at each other, smiled helplessly, and then followed.

When Fang Lin and the others walked into the Fang Zhai, the three girls had already picked up a skirt and couldn't put it down and admired it, and a man about forty years old was talking to the three girls endlessly, and the three of them were all smiling.

Fang Lin and the others didn't mean to go up and interject, they just found a place to sit down, and just watched from a distance, as if they were admiring a beautiful picture.

At this moment, an arrogant voice came from outside the door: "Haha~~ Senior sister, let me tell you, the things in this Fang Zhai are really first-class goods, and people who don't have financial resources don't dare to come here at all, hehe, like Senior Brother Lu, they don't dare to bring you to this kind of place." Speaking of this, he smiled flatteringly and said, "Hehe, junior sister doesn't need to be polite to senior brother for a while, I will give you whatever I like." ”

With the voice, a man and a woman walked in, the man was about thirty years old, with a thin body and a handsome face, but a black mole at the corner of his mouth ruined his image, and he flattered the woman beside him.

The other woman was delicate, with a delicate face, silky eyes, a look of arrogance on her face, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her flattery to the man seemed to be both enjoyable and disdainful.

As soon as the woman entered the door, she glanced at the three concubines, her eyes showed a thick look of disdain, she snorted softly in her nose, and she didn't care about the light red lips that were walking towards her and said to the man beside her: "Senior brother, can there be any good things on the first floor, they are all things that only poor and sour girls can see, let's go to the third floor, there are really good things there, hehe." ”

Fang Lin and the others frowned when they heard this, and their hearts were unhappy, but it was impossible for a few men to reason with a woman for this kind of thing, so they had to give up, but Qu Shan'er was a little annoyed, and was about to have a seizure but was pulled back by Concubine Shu, but the angry light in her eyes seemed to be condensed into substance.

The woman saw all this, seemed very satisfied with the result, and let out a burst of silver bell-like laughter and went straight to the third floor.

Qu Shan'er was annoyed for a while, glared at Concubine Shu and said: "Senior sister, why did you pull me just now, I hate women like this the most, hmph, just with the two of them who haven't even reached the Nine Shadows Realm, I can clean it up alone, I really don't know what you're afraid of." ”

"Shan'er, it's better to have more than one thing, forget it, don't let that kind of uninformed woman spoil our mood." Concubine Su comforted.

"Yes, Shan'er, forget it, let's go." Bai Lian also comforted on the side.

Qu Shan'er was angry for a while, then rolled her eyes and said with a grin: "Boss, are you all good things on the third floor here?" ”

"Giggles, little girl Mingjian, the third floor is indeed a good thing, and each of them is unique, never repeated, but the price is much more expensive." Road.

"Hee-hee, that's good, let's go to the third floor and have a look." After saying that, Qu Shan'er ran to the third floor without saying anything, seeing this scene, Fang Lin and a few people knew that they wanted bad dishes, the nickname of the little witch was not called in vain, but they were afraid that Qu Shan'er would suffer, so they had to follow.

Qu Shan'er ran up to the third floor with brisk steps, and at a glance saw that a man and a woman were standing next to a pink wide-sleeved fairy skirt, and a young girl was talking to them, and the woman seemed to be very happy.

Qu Shan'er didn't want to join in the fun, but came to the side of a water-blue palace dress and looked carefully, with a faint smile on her lips, at this time, another girl came to Qu Shan'er's side and said softly: "The girl has an extraordinary temperament, and she is very wise, if she is paired with this 'fairy palace dress', she must be more beautiful than the princess." ”

"Oh? Your clothes are really good-looking, what else is there to pay attention to? Qu Shan'er asked with a smile.

"This fairy palace neon dress is made of the snow ice cicada silk of the northern region as the main material, coupled with some other very rare materials, plus a number of masters took a year to complete, it is said that if the water attribute warrior wears it, it will also have a lot of benefits for improving cultivation." The girl said.

Qu Shan'er sneered when she heard this, and said loudly to Concubine Shu who had just arrived: "Senior sister, what this girl said is very right, the clothes here are not only good-looking, but also have a little help for our cultivation, like I am a water attribute system, so this fairy palace neon dress is very suitable for me, unlike some earth buns who don't even know what cultivation is, I am obviously a metallic physique but I want to buy a fire attribute clothes, no wonder they are already twenty-seven or eighteen old girls, but their cultivation is still at the bottom of the Tai Chi realm, I don't know where the nouveau riche came from. ”

When the woman heard this, the smile on her face instantly retracted, and she turned her head to look at Qu Shan'er angrily and said, "Who do you say is the old girl, who is the soil bun, and who is the nouveau riche?" ”

Seeing her angry and blushing, Qu Shan'er became even happier, and said with a grin: "Senior sister, how can you say that there is such a stupid person in this world, obviously she has been scolded, and she came to ask others if it was her who was scolded, hehe." ”

When the woman heard this, she was immediately angry, and she was about to go crazy, and the man next to her hurriedly shouted: "Where did you come from, Xiao Nizi, you don't know the rules, haven't your adults taught you?" ”

"Senior brother, you helped me tear her mouth so that she would know what happened to her nonsense." The woman shouted.

The man agreed and was about to pounce on Qu Shan'er, at this moment, a strong sense of oppression pressed heavily on the man, making him unable to move, a dignified middle-aged man slowly came to the front of everyone, and said lightly: "Fights and brawls are prohibited in this store, if not, you will be thrown out!" ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect that there was still a master in this Fang Zhai, knowing that she couldn't do anything, she glanced at Qu Shan'er hatefully, gritted her teeth and said: "I remember you, you hear clearly, I am Zhongli Meng of the Heavenly Desolate Sect, you had better pray not to be seen by me in the future, hum." Then he shouted at the man: "Senior brother, let's go!" ”

Just when the two of them were about to go downstairs, a voice suddenly came: "Cut, what kind of big head do you have no money, it's just that you have been addicted to it, well, it's a good gimmick to put down a cruel sentence before leaving." ”

Zhong Limeng was originally a belly with nowhere to vent, and when he heard Li Haoran's words again, he almost shouted hysterically: "You poor ghosts, dare to laugh at your aunt and grandmother for having no money? Hmph, boss, I bought this palace costume, how much does it cost? ”

"The rules of Fang Zhai are embellished, and the guests bid themselves." The middle-aged man said leisurely.

"Two thousand top-grade Yuan Jing." Before Zhong Limeng could speak, Li Haoran's lazy voice came out.

"Hmph, a poor ghost is a poor ghost, I'll give five thousand." Zhongli dreamed.

"Ten thousand." Li Haoran still said lazily.

"Fifteen thousand!" Zhongli Meng shouted.

"Thirty thousand." Li Haoran still looked lazy, which made Zhong Limeng's eyes burn.

"Thirty thousand... One. Zhong Limeng said this, but his momentum weakened.

Seeing this, Li Haoran laughed and said: "The girl is so bold and financial, this fairy palace dress belongs to the girl, haha······"

This time Zhong Limeng was stunned, she thought that if the other party asked for a price again, she would quit proudly, although this fairy palace neon dress is good, but anyone with a little eyesight can see that this dress is worth more than 4,000 high-grade yuan crystals at most, and now, Zhongli Meng has suffered a big loss.

······

At three o'clock, just as the city gate was about to close, Fang Lin and his party left the city to march towards Qunying Town with satisfaction, and the episode with Zhong Limeng did not have any impact on several people at all.

"Hehe, you said that Zhongli Meng, it's really funny, and you were fooled by such a gentle stir." Qu Shan'er said suddenly.

Bai Lian also pursed her lips and chuckled: "It seems that she was praised too high in the sect, and she was also spoiled by the elders, so she didn't have any experience in the rivers and lakes." ”

"Well, what Lian'er said is right, Zhongli Meng is the granddaughter of the Great Elder of the Heavenly Desolate Sect Zhongli Old Ghost, this Zhongli Old Ghost is one of the two reincarnation realm powerhouses of the Heavenly Desolate Sect, and has a pivotal position in the Heavenly Desolate Sect, Zhongli Old Ghost is arrogant and domineering, and extremely protective of his shortcomings, not to mention that this Zhongli Dream is still his only bloodline, hehe, I'm afraid we will have a lot of trouble next." Fang Lin Road.

Qu Shan'er was shocked when she heard this, and said, "Ah, I didn't expect this Zhongli Dream to really have a background, but how do you know?" ”

"Our dark hall is not a vegetarian, and it's not a secret, it's just that you don't usually care much about these things." Fang Lin Road.

Qu Shan'er smiled when she heard this: "Hehe, why do we care so much, anyway, with you, you know, we know." ”

"Haha, it's good to have Fang Lin, when we go through the rivers and lakes, we don't have to be like a turtle, we have to ask someone for some basic information, and if we don't do it, we will be looked down upon." Li Haoran said with a big grin.

Da Niu also smiled and said: "Yes, it's good to have a captain, we don't have to spend those brains, hehe." ”

Fang Lin slapped himself in the face in a depressed manner, and said bitterly: "Really, why do you use me as an encyclopedia, you are careless in making friends." ”

Concubine Shu said with some seriousness: "According to what you just said, will the old ghost Zhongli personally take action against us and avenge his granddaughter?" ”

"Don't worry about this, the old ghost Zhongli is a person with an excellent face and an extremely self-respecting identity, he will not take action personally, however, he can instruct the disciples under his seat to come to us for trouble, well, it seems that we are going to fight against the Heavenly Desolate Sect in the future." Fang Lin Road.

"Hmph, if you are right, you will be on it, what are you afraid of, the Heavenly Desolate Sect is a bunch of sanctimonious garbage!" Qu Shan'er gritted her teeth and said.

When Qu Shan'er said this, everyone noticed his mood fluctuations, and Concubine Shu gently took her hand and said, "Shan'er, what's wrong with you, it seems that you have some deep hatred with the Heavenly Desolate Sect." ”

"No... No, don't guess, Sister Shu, I... I just feel like the old ghost of Zhongli is just trying to make a big deal for his granddaughter, and he wants his disciples to kill people and set fires, and kill innocents, I... I'm really angry. Qu Shan'er was busy, but when she said this, the hatred that flashed in her eyes was clearly captured by everyone.

"Shan'er, you remember, we will always be a whole, your business is our business, now we are not strong enough, but we promised that when we are strong enough, we will definitely avenge you!" Fang Lin said solemnly.

The rest of the people also nodded solemnly when they heard this, Qu Shan'er's heart trembled, Huo Ran looked up at everyone, her eyes were fluorescent, she didn't say anything at the moment, just nodded heavily, because true affection doesn't need thanks, true friendship doesn't need words, only the blending of hearts and hearts can explain that eternal word - love is priceless.

······

The venue of the game is located in the center of Qunying Town, and I have to say that in terms of financial management, compared to Long Tiansheng, the royal family of the Shang Kingdom is a big difference, and it is only eight huge rings set up in the open air, which are located in eight directions, and anyone can watch it for free.

The thirty-two teams from the four regions were divided into eight groups for a group round-robin, and the top two teams in each group could be promoted, and the teams that entered the top thirty-two were all extremely powerful sects or families, so everyone chose the one, two, and seven competition mode, and the Linghua faction was divided into the southwest ring group, and the Ziji Sect, Sanyuanmen and Xian Jia in the same group, the first opponent that the Linghua faction encountered turned out to be the Ziji Sect!

Just when everyone found the ring they belonged to and was talking about it, an old man with a bright head suddenly floated to the center of the eight rings, standing firmly in mid-air, as if he was standing on the flat ground, Fang Lin saw this person but smiled, looking like he had "expected it a long time ago", it turned out that this old man was the ancestor of the royal family's life and death realm who appeared in the trial of Bei Shark Lake a few years ago.

The old man glanced at the bustling crowd, and only said "silence" softly, and then everyone's ears seemed to be thundering, and the audience was suddenly silent.

At this time, the old man bowed his hand to everyone and said: "Old man Yin Hongming, on behalf of the royal family, presided over this national competition, first of all, I would like to express my warm welcome and sincere thanks to friends from all parties. ”

"Thanks to all the martial arts friends who came from afar from the Yeyue Empire to look up to our Great Shang Country, and come here to develop together with our local martial artists, so that our Great Shang Kingdom has made great progress in the martial arts level in the past few years, therefore, the imperial court decided to hold a national martial arts competition to promote the martial arts and righteousness of our martial arts!"

"Well, well said!" Enthusiastic cheers suddenly rang out from all around.

The old man rushed to the four and hugged his fists, and then made a downward pressure with both hands, and then continued after the four were quiet again: "In this competition, we adopt the one, two, and seven battle mode, the winner of the heads-up battle gets one point, the two-on-two winner gets two points, and the group battle victory gets three points, and the game adopts a best-of-three system, and the final winner gets an additional point; Well, the race is officially on! ”

Roar~~~~ The audience cheered, and the young people who participated in the competition were even more enthusiastic, and they all jumped into their respective rings.

As soon as Hong Tian jumped into the ring, he felt a flash of purple light in front of him, and then he saw a big man standing nine feet tall on the opposite side, this person had a heroic face, his breath was restrained, he smiled slightly, and hugged his fist at Hong Tian and said: "Purple Pole Sect Ling Tian, please advise." ”

Hong Tian also returned the salute and said, "Linghua sent Hong Tian, please advise!" ”

After saying that, both of them showed their weapons, Hong Angel was a nine-ring broadsword, and Ling Tian was using a nine-ringed broadsword, both of them stood with their knives in their hands, staring at each other tightly, but they didn't plan to strike first.

After about thirty breaths, Hong Tian suddenly shouted, his figure flashed and came to Ling Tian's approach, and directly picked up a knife and slashed at Ling Tian, but Ling Tian did not panic, the knife hit in front of him, and when there was a bang, the two knives collided, splashing a puff of sparks, and the figures of the two also fell backwards at the same time, and the first test of strength turned out to be evenly divided.

"Haha~~~ Okay, good opponent." Hong Tian laughed, and immediately held the knife in both hands, making a posture of holding the moon in his arms and rushed towards Ling Tian again.

Ling Tian also laughed, looking extremely excited, and rushed forward towards Hong Tian without fear, the two knives handed over in the air, colliding with each other, and the two True Yuan attached to the weapons also produced a booming sound in this fierce collision.

Hong Tian's moves opened and closed, and the full explosive power also fully demonstrated his sharp attack, splitting, chopping, cutting, and cutting were all fluent and smooth, so that the martial artists present had a dizzying feeling; However, Ling Tian's moves were calm and heavy, and in the face of Hong Tian's sharp attack, he was also defense-proof, sealing, blocking, racking, and pushing were also smooth and easy.

The two fought for an hour, although Hong Tian had been attacking, but he couldn't attack for a long time, but Hong Tian was not in a hurry at all, and still maintained the rhythm of the previous attack, without panic at all; Ling Tian was as stable as Mount Tai, and Yuan turned freely, and the audience applauded again and again.

"Fang Lin, which of them do you say will win, it's been an hour, I can't see it at all." Concubine Shu asked softly.

"Both of them are strong men in the Yin and Yang Realm, and the battle of this hour is not very expensive for them, it looks extremely fierce on the surface, but in fact there is no suspense at all, if there is no change, none of them can help anyone." Fang Lin Road.

"Actually, I don't think so." Li Haoran said: "Although Ling Tian is on the defensive, he is not defeated, which proves that he is very good at defending, but it does not mean that he will not attack, the cultivation of the two of them is comparable, everyone knows that the consumption of the attacking side is definitely greater than that of the defending side, I think that Ling Tian should be waiting, waiting for a chance to kill with one blow." ”

"You can think of this, can't Senior Brother Hong Tian think of it?" Qu Shan'er quipped.

Li Haoran's face twitched when he heard this, but at this time, Fang Lin said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Li is right, in fact, Senior Brother Hong Tian must have thought of this situation a long time ago, but his character is extremely yearning for that kind of violent attack, and if he doesn't win in the rage, he will lose in the rage, so the key to victory or defeat is to see if Ling Tian can completely withstand Senior Brother Hong Tian's attack." ”

The next half of the hour also passed in a hurry in the discussion of everyone, but the two people on the stage still maintained the previous situation, but Hong Tian's attack became faster and faster, more and more fierce, at a certain moment, Hong Tian shouted, the back of the knife was tilted upward, Ling Tian hurriedly raised the knife and pressed down, if he didn't do this, when Hong Tian's knife style was raised to his shoulder, it would become a downward split, followed by many back hands, so it must be strangled at the beginning.

However, Hong Tian turned out to be full of all his strength this time, when there was a bang, Ling Tian's knife was swung away, Hong Tian took advantage of the situation to hold the knife with both hands, and slashed towards Ling Tian's waist with a move, at this moment, Ling Tian was already unstable and was about to be cut by this knife.

Just when the blade was about to touch Ling Tian's protective true element, suddenly a small round shield with purple light appeared on Ling Tian's other hand, just blocking the path of the big knife's advance, a tooth-aching sound of gold and iron rubbing, the big knife slashed across the shield, and failed to cause any damage to Ling Tian, but Hong Tian's move had been used up, the old power was exhausted, and when the new power was not born, Ling Tian pushed the small round shield forward fiercely, and hit Hong Tian's body protection true yuan with a bang, and then Hong Tian's protective body true yuan shook violently, and then, Ling Tian was a chain of five feet again, right in the middle of Hongtian's five vital points, Hongtian's protective body true yuan shattered, and the person flew out upside down like a broken sack and fell to the ground.

Hong Tian crawled on the ground for a full ten breaths before he slowly got up, coughed violently for a while before he recovered, and laughed: "Haha~~~ Happy, happy!" Brother Ling Tian's defense is not leaky, the younger brother admires, Hong Tian is no longer able to fight, Hong Tian is defeated! ”

"Actually, Brother Hong Tian should still have at least forty percent of the true yuan, and he still has the strength to fight." Ling Tian said sincerely.

"That's because Brother Ling Tian's subordinates were merciful and didn't pursue, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get up at all now, haha, I got it." Hong Tian flew out of the ring as soon as he hugged his fists, and when he returned to the Linghua faction, he immediately sat down cross-legged and adjusted his state, and everyone in the Linghua faction looked at him with full praise and admiration, and no one had the slightest intention of blaming.

It was only at this time that the audience erupted in roaring cheers, some people applauded Ling Tian's victory, and some people applauded Hong Tian's open-mindedness.

The next thing to do is a two-on-two match, Gao Xuan and Li Qing looked at each other and smiled, Gao Xuan said expectantly: "I don't know if our opponent will be as strong as Senior Brother Hong Tian." ”
