Chapter 133: The Sparrow and the Thunder
September 10th.
This large square is located on the east side of the north-south thoroughfare, and it takes a long staircase to enter from the street. There are many restaurants around it, and not only are the upper floors full, but the middle gap between the two floors is also set up with stands.
When Pei Li first came, he was confused for a while, and when he was so crowded that he couldn't walk, he thought he had reached the sidelines, and when he looked at it from a distance, the martial arts field was obviously far away!
Even though he had long said that there would be many more people on the last day, he did not expect such an almost qualitative change.
When Master Huang and the children arrived all the way to the venue, they saw the surging crowds, and even made people suspicious - is there really so many people in Bowang City?
A few days ago, the square could accommodate more than 30,000 people, but now not only are all these places occupied, but even a circle has been set up on the periphery, almost making each restaurant into an aerial garden. And even so, the number of people was far exceeded, and many people sat on the rooftops, even Takayanagi Daihuai, looking at the audience with relish. There are also many people who have no seats and no kung fu, crowding the probe in the outermost layer, and they want to take advantage of the atmosphere with this faint sound and narrow vision.
Fortunately, the seats of the players' relatives and friends are still available.
Pei Li looked down at the martial arts field, and his appearance had changed greatly. Gone were the two halves of yesterday, and now there was only one wide, huge ring, made of tall wood and flat stones, standing in the center of the martial arts arena. Without any shelter, a person stands up like two ants in a white plate.
On the east platform, the adults were still sitting calmly on it, very conspicuous, and Pei Ye saw Uncle Chang from a distance.
Today, the ceiling was suddenly raised by the chair in the highest row. The vast majority of people in the martial arts field are unaware, but for those who care about this matter, the name Sui Zaihua has fallen heavily in their hearts.
But Li Weiru hasn't arrived yet.
Pei Ye retracted his gaze, and off the field, several players were already standing there, he lifted his sword, straightened his shirt, and walked down.
And this action alone caused a small commotion, and there were eyes from near and far, pointing at the figure of the lonely descendant in the crowd of thousands of people - the finalists, of course.
"Pei Shaoxia, how many are you going to take today?" Watching the young man coming, Li Yiqing turned his head and smiled.
The girl also changed into a brand-new green dress today, which is a style that Pei Li has never seen, and she looks a little more graceful in her light handsomeness, which is very good-looking.
"Ah, you have clothes to change, and mine is dirty." Pei Ye looked down, he was wearing it for days, and he was fighting in the ring, although there were no large stains, it was indeed not as bright as before.
"When you were making clothes that day, didn't you say you could wear them? Why don't you change your old clothes? β
I'm afraid the audience won't recognize me." Pei Li said, "And didn't you make two bodies that day, that one was asked for by the court yesterday, and you didn't give it to me." β
Pei Li, you completely like the new and hate the old." The girl made a judgment.
"There is no such thing."
Then Pei Ye turned his head to look at the others, Yang Yan was holding the knife and closing his eyes, since yesterday, he has spoken a lot less, sitting and meditating is what he must do before every start, just like looking for people to chat around is what Pei Ye must do.
Zhang Zongyuan did not change, he still left the crowd far away, leaning silently under the ring, with a stick standing beside him. According to Zhang Dingyun's statement yesterday, this man's purpose is very simple and direct, that is, to get money and then win the championship.
He is a well-known martial artist in the neighboring state, and he won the championship steadily in the spring of this year, but he was harmed by the powerful and lost his place. Under the guidance of Qi Yun Firm, this warrior who had no relatives and wives moved his hometown to Bowang in exchange for the opportunity to participate in the autumn competition.
The six-born martial artist, the fist and stick are unique, if the museum is established, and now he is also a well-known figure in the martial arts of a state. But the man has always been alone, over thirty years old and still unemployed, obviously determined and determined, his eyes are only in Shenjing.
On the other side of the opposite, Shang Huaitong was also independent, stroking his sword and closing his eyes, as if he had sunk into the realm of the underworld.
This man also endured the most gaze, in the previous days of fighting, he was clearly and steadily one level above the others, four opponents, none of them could make him sword, and none of them saw his second move. He has been the number one favorite since the pre-tournament and now he has firmly inherited the fame.
Pei Li didn't see him as an opponent of Wubi, he walked around and found a question: "Hasn't Jun Xue come yet?" β
"Noβhey, here it is."
The girl pointed to the stands, Pei Ye looked, and sure enough, she saw the familiar tall figure coming down with a knife, and behind him was the one-armed man who had just separated.
"It's a little late." Zhang Junxue came to the front, and Pei Ye smiled.
But the woman did not reply, nor did she bow her head slightly, as usual, she was silent, and looked straight to the east of the ring. That's where Shang Huaitong is.
The woman's temperament state made Pei Ye slightly stunned.
Of course, he knew that she had been silent, and he knew that she harbored hatred. But before, this hatred was deeply buried, and silence was a thick layer of cowhide on it.
As soon as you struck it, what you get is a dull echo, revealing the woman's bulkiness and gentleness, and you know that something is hidden inside, but you can't see, hear, or guess.
But now that there was no sound from the tapping, the silence became more distinct, and the hidden hatred was naked.
"What's wrong, Jun Xue?"
"Nothing." Zhang Junxue said in a low voice, then turned her head and looked at him a little dazed, "Pei Li."
"Huh?"
"Nothing."
Pei Ye frowned and was about to ask again, when the scene suddenly sounded in all directions. He raised his head and saw eight lines of red silk descending from the sky, and it turned out to be the middle of the day.
After all the ceremonies were completed, Xu Sigong stood in the ring, his robe was embroidered with birds, and he held a folded official book: "Only by carefully collecting the gold of the sand; The high waves choose to pick up, and the carp of the dragon is seen. Under the competition for days, the eight Luan Feng, Bo Wang, the golden autumn Dingkui, today in this ten thousand eyes, the feather competition, the only one, Han Pavilion named the god Jing Wuju! β
"The roll call of the eight people is as follows: Cuiyu Li Yiqing, Qijiao Shang Huaitong, Cuiyu Shen Qi, Qijiao Yu Yingcai, Qiyun Zhang Zongyuan, Dingyun Yang Yan, Fenghuai Pei Li, Xu Gu Zhang Junxue."
After the listing, the noise on the field had already stopped, all eyes gathered, and only the men's recitation on the field was heard. Xu Sigong closed the book and took out a hard note.
The order of today's first round of competition has been drawn out yesterday, and at this time, the ring is high in the sky, and the huge red curtain has already shown the first match.
Xu Sigong read aloud: "Bowangzhou Golden Autumn Martial Arts Competition, start now!" In the first game of the competition, the knife was thunder and lightning, and the sword was like a bird's shadow - Zhang Junxue and Shen Qi! β
In the sudden boiling cheers, Pei Ye still didn't have time to ask what happened, and the woman next to him had already taken the knife and walked towards the ring.
Pei Li watched her until Li Yiqing beside him suddenly pointed to the high platform: "Master has arrived." β
Pei Ye looked up and saw the thin figure of the old man standing on the high platform, but he was not alone, Pei Li, a middle-aged man with a calm bearing next to him, recognized that the girl had told him that it was the master of Bowang Immortal Stage. But another tall man, Pei Ye, was completely unfamiliar, he was tall in blue, with a sassy face and a long sword, and he was smiling and greeting the officials who were talking to him.
"It's someone from Tianshan who is here!" Li Yiqing said in a brisk tone.
"Oh!" Pei Ye was stunned.
On the high platform, Gu Yunfu greeted everyone one by one, some of the people present knew that the case had to wait for someone from the Tianshan Mountains, and some people only knew that Cui Yu was involved in the Tianshan Mountains, but no matter what it was, it did not prevent them from paying tribute to this great faction in the world.
Gu Yunfu sat down beside Li Weiru, moved the stool, which was half smaller than the normal seat spacing, and glanced at it with a smile: "Master Li, which one is the master of the Seven Jiao Cave?" β
The voice was not loud or small, just enough for almost everyone to hear, Li Weiru stretched out his hand lightly, Gu Yunfu looked at it, and glanced at Luo Defeng, who turned his eyes expressionlessly.
There should be a barrier between the Eight Beings and the Grandmaster, but the man's gaze looked like he was the one standing on the top, and he put away his smile, and the lines drawn from the corners of his mouth were very sharp.
After meeting at the city gate, they talked about some basic issues, and only came over after meeting Lu Yunsheng, and the senior brother's complaint and the injury to his chest all showed the guilt of the person in front of him.
"This Shen Qi is my disciple." Li Weiru interrupted him, and was already smiling and pointing to the sidelines.
To tell the truth, he knew that it was the land of Yuer, Gu Yunfu had the mentality of being coaxed at the beginning, he had the experience of facing these small factions, their attitude was flattery, and their eyes were sticky with silver martial arts. He fully understands and will never treat him badly, and will fully show the demeanor of the Tianshan Mountains.
But whether it is in the letter or today's meeting, the old man's bearing has won his favor and respect. The junior brother said that this sect can be traced back to four hundred years of inheritance, and now it seems that it is true, Cuiyu is now as weak as a candle in the wind, but that soul is still firmly hidden in the core.
Some people, even if they have straw sandals and a torn fur, will make people subconsciously put him in an equal position.
Gu Yunfu followed the old man's point, and sure enough, in response to the official's roll call just now, two women walked into the ring with a sword and a sword.
For a man who has spent most of his life in the Tianshan Mountains and Shenjing, watching this kind of martial arts competition is naturally no different from watching the spiders on the beam and eating mosquitoes when he is studying - just find something to do for his eyes.
The old man didn't mean to be embarrassed, and still smiled and introduced: "The thin one is the only two five students in the sect, and the top three among the disciples." β
Gu Yunfu nodded, looked at it seriously, and looked down here, the two people in the ring were as clear as two ants on a white plate.
ββββββββββββββ
Off the field, the curtain was opened.
Shen Qi drew his sword and discarded the sheath, bowed to Zhang Junxue, straightened up and slowly pointed at the sword.
At this point, no one wants to stop there.
Even though he is one of the least favored people, Shen Qi still never thinks that he does not have the ability to enter the top four.
It is true that she has accumulated five lives, has been swordswritten in Yilan Mountain since she was a child, holds the most orthodox swordsmanship of Cuiyu, and is the most relied on senior sister among her peers, this strength must not be said to be solid.
But looking at the situation this year, among these eight people, there are indeed only a handful of people who she thinks she has a chance to win, and it is not more than Yingcai, Zhang Junxue, and Yang Yan.
Among them, Zhang Junxue has the greatest opportunity.
This woman was born in the Zhang family of Xu Gu, and she is inferior to Cuiyu; His new five lives are not as good as his own cultivation, the only thing he can rely on is that he is born with muscles and bones and stacking wave knife skills.
There are no other hole cards, and this person is standing in front of him transparently.
Sure enough, if she doesn't give up, the heavens will favor her - this is the best lottery she can draw.
Shen Qi's posture leaned, and the little finch fluttered up like a cloud.
On that day, Master Cui Yu in the Changdao Martial Arts Hall had demonstrated the "blue light", and its lightness and beauty made everyone admire, and at this time, the sword of the senior sister was exposed in front of him, and Zhang Junxue knew what kind of spirit the sword he saw at that time.
- The kingfisher is not a plaything for people to see, and its beauty only bursts out in the coldness of the moment when it skims the water and catches fish.
Breathtakingly sharp!
Zhang Junxue picked up her knife to block, and the wide blade suddenly covered the bright and thin sword light, but in the next moment, it floated through a sharp angle and poked out from the side of the knife.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them have exchanged several moves, sharp and thick turn and close, the bright sword light is like a meandering and jumping stream, the wide heavy knife is the black mountain, the white light is scattered and jumped, and its range is even beyond the two of them - Shen Qi is obviously facing Zhang Junxue, but there is always sword light that can attack her from the back of the side.
But even such a delicate sword path can't get out of the black shadow, Pei Li has long felt the woman's impermeable cover, and Shen Qi feels the same at this time.
As far as the audience is concerned, the brisk and heavy confrontation that had not been seen between Zhang Zongyuan and Zhang Mozhu before was shown at this time, but it was the brisk side that kept attacking.
Eighteen breaths later, Shen Qi had tried all the angles, but still couldn't find a single gap.
She looked at the silent woman opposite, and knew that in the case that the true qi was not far apart, and the strength and speed could not overpower the other party, there were only two ways to break this situation - either to fight hard, for example, the senior sister said that there was an extremely strong sword of breaking the emperor in the cicada part of the mountain gate, but unfortunately she didn't have time to practice; Either release the opponent and return some of the opponent's offensive space, then while taking risks, this space is also your own opportunity.
Shen Qi looked at the other party's eyes calmly, the battle had long been engraved into her instinct, and in this kind of duel, no one would be dizzy, she believed that the other party must also see the situation clearly.
So there is no trickery, she doesn't bother to hide it, her next step is clear - I'm going to put you in a space, do you dare to attack?
And the tall woman had only a deep silence.
The sword light suddenly retracted two inches, and the true qi was already brewing in Shen Qi's body.
So in an instant, the tightened angry waves were released violently, and if Shen Qi was a kingfisher who pounced on the fish, a huge wave suddenly churned on the surface of the river at this time.
The flying white light suddenly converged into a beam, and with a "Zheng" blow, the black water and black mountain crashed into the white stream.
Even though she had imagined it many times, the strength of this knife was far beyond Shen Qi's expectations, and her body suddenly stiffened. And after the solid impact of this knife, the long knife cut through a floating circle, and had pressed again.
Stacked Waves: The First Heavy.
And Shen Qi jumped up suddenly.
This was the time she was looking forward to.
