On August 15, at three o'clock, the third floor of the non-return building - "Si Yan Ju".

Even during the day, the light on this level is dim, and there is always an eerie scent in the air.

The strange fragrance is not like spices, nor is it fat powder, nor is it like the fragrance of flowers and plants...... If I had to describe it, it was like a naturally occurring smell from some kind of animal, and it would make you feel sick to smell it.

"Master, Mr. Wu is here. You Jing skillfully led Lao Wu to the door of a bedroom, and announced in a tone that was neither high nor low through the door.

After a while, a man's voice came from inside the door: "Let him in." ”

After receiving the order, You Jing reached out and pushed the door open.

But he himself didn't take a step forward, just stood by the door, turned his head and said to the old martial artist who was following him: "Please." ”

Lao Wu calmed down a little, swallowed his saliva, and then stepped through the door.

Since becoming Shen Youran's henchman, Lao Wu has basically come here several times a month, but to this day, he still feels that it is a creepy thing to walk here.

The light inside the room was even darker than the corridor outside, and even the eyesight of a martial arts practitioner like Lao Wu could barely see the outlines of the things in the room, and he couldn't see the details at all.

Of course, that's what the owner of this place expects - he doesn't want anyone to see his face.

"Wu Mou see the Lord. After Lao Wu took a few steps inside, he paused and stopped moving forward.

Almost at the same time as he spoke, You Jing behind him also closed the door casually.

In the dark, people's hearing will become sharper, so Lao Wu soon heard the footsteps of You Jing leaving.

"Old Martial ......" When You Jing walked away, the "Venerable Lord" who lived in the shadows slowly spoke, and said to Lao Wudao, "Youran, how are you doing lately?"

Lao Wu stood in place and replied respectfully: "Back to the Lord, thanks to you, everything is fine for the young master." ”

"Hmm. The Lord groaned and said, "He asked you to come, did he have something to tell me?"

"Yes. Lao Wu replied, "The young gang master asked me to report to you, the plan is going very smoothly; yesterday at three o'clock, he has put the seedlings of the 'Bliss Gu' in the tea, and led everyone to take it, and by now, twelve hours have passed, and no one has noticed anything abnormal...... Therefore, the young helper asked me to come over and pay homage to the lord while everyone was paying attention to the competition. ”

When the Lord heard this, he chuckled.

After a brief silence, he replied, "No, not 'everyone'. ”

This sentence made Lao Wu excited, and his scalp was numb: "Lord, I ......"

"I know, you've made sure you're not being followed. The Venerable Lord knew what Lao Wu was going to say, and gave a reply before he could say it, "I don't blame you, and I don't doubt you, don't be afraid." ”

He was only halfway through his words, and outside the door, You Jing's footsteps sounded again.

Click, click, click......

The footsteps came from far and near, neither fast nor slow.

Tuk Tuk ...... Tuk Tuk ......

But if you listen closely, you can see that there is something other than the sound of footsteps—a very subtle sound of liquid dripping on the floor.

At this moment, Lao Wu's back was cold, and he suddenly felt that time passed very slowly, as if it took You Jing an hour to walk to the door for a dozen or so steps.

"The hosts. After You Jing came to the door, he stopped and said, "Do you want to take a look?"

Tuk Tuk ...... Tuk Tuk ......

You Jing's footsteps stopped, but the sound of water droplets did not stop.

"Just take a look. The Lord replied.

As soon as his voice fell, You Jing reopened the door.

Lao Wu also turned his face slightly at this time, and swept towards the door with his residual light.

I can only see ...... In the dim light, You Jing's figure stood at the door with the light on his back, and in his hand, he was still carrying a human head that was still dripping blood.

In other words, just after Lao Wu and the Venerable Lord said those few words, You Jing had already killed someone and cut off that person's head, and the movement from this whole process was not even as loud as the footsteps when he walked.

"After a total of two moves, the other party made it the internal strength of the Five Spirits Sect. You Jing showed the head to the lord in the room and said, "The skills are ordinary, and I don't think I'm a character worthy of being called. ”

"Hmm...... Good. The Venerable Lord casually agreed, stared at the man's head in the dark for a moment, and then turned to Lao Wudao, "Old Wu, if there is nothing else, you can go back first, and by the way, help me tell Youran, he did a good job...... Tomorrow night, everything will go according to plan. ”

"Yes. When Lao Wu replied to this word, the cold sweat on his face had already flowed from his forehead to the tip of his nose.

Although the other party had said that he could go back, before he really walked out of here, Lao Wu still didn't dare to relax for half a minute.

"Oh, yes. Just as Lao Wu turned around and was about to leave, the Venerable Lord Leng Buding opened his mouth and added, "Regarding the matter of you being followed by the people of the Five Spirit Sect......" He seemed to deliberately want to scare Lao Wu, and then paused slightly when he said this, and then said, "...... You don't have to take it to heart, anyway, You Jing has already dealt with it for you, if you are willing to talk to Youran, just say it, if you are not happy to say it, you will not say it. ”

"No, no, no......" The pause just now almost scared Lao Wu into peeing, and after Zun Zhun finished speaking, Lao Wu hurriedly replied in fear, "This is the negligence of the subordinates, and how dare the subordinates hide it from the young gang leader." ”

"Heh......" the Lord smiled, as he got the response he wanted, "That's fine." He raised his voice slightly again, and said to You Jing at the door, "You Jing, send off the guests first, and send them off...... Remember to wash the floor. ”

............

The words are divided into two ends, let's go back to the Justice Gate.

It was almost noon, and the third round of the martial arts test was finally about to end.

Because the first few rounds are more crowded, the time will naturally be longer, and it is good to be able to finish three rounds in one morning;

Next, it was the last game of the third round, which was played by Guo Cong of Qingyuan Zhongyimen against Sun Yihuan of Hangzhou. ”

As the sun climbed directly above the flagpole, the host took the stage to announce the opponents for the last match of the morning.

Sun Yihuan's name is on the far right of the penultimate row of the promotion table, so if he can keep qualifying, then he will always be in the last game of every round.

And his opponent in this round, Guo Cong, had a bye in the first two rounds because of the decent results in the literary exam, and this is his first appearance.

This Guo Cong is very different from Li Yuanke.

That Li Yuan has no martial arts, and he belongs to the stepping stone level in this Young Heroes Association, but Guo Cong ...... To put it in terms of the current concept, it is a "seed player".

If nothing else, let's just say that there is a big gap between Guo Cong's sect and Li Yuan's.

The "four doors and three gangs" mentioned many times in this article, specifically, are Cangzhou Xingyi Gate, Luoyang Justice Gate, Qingyuan Zhongyi Gate, Huai'an Chivalry Gate, Salt Gang, Cao Gang and Tea Gang.

These seven gangs are the backbone of today's martial arts, and the sect of the scale of the Iron Fist Gate is compared to them, just like a convenience store compared to a business plaza, and the scale is not half a point.

And Guo Cong is the representative of the younger generation of Qingyuan Zhongyimen this time.

He began to practice martial arts at the age of five, and he became successful at the age of fifteen, and this year, he is eighteen years old, and he has already learned all the martial arts of the advanced class in the Zhongyi Sect, and many disciples in their thirties and forties are not his opponents.

This time he came to Luoyang to participate in the Young Heroes Meeting, Guo Cong undoubtedly came with the mentality of wanting to win the championship, before today, except for Lin Yuancheng of Cangzhou Xingyimen, he didn't care about other competitors at all.

Of course, after watching this morning's martial arts competition, he pierced into his eyes with a Lei Buji, and it was the kind that couldn't be pulled out after he was pierced.

But that's another matter, at the moment he has to play against Sun Yihuan, and Sun Yihuan's performance so far ...... Obviously, it can't get into Guo Cong's eyes.

"Drink!"

said that it was too late, and before the host's voice fell, he heard Guo Cong shout softly, and then he was angry, and the figure moved.

His light skills, a vertical action on the stage was as sharp as thunder, and after his body was settled, the whole person immediately seemed to have taken root on the stage, and the lower plate was as stable as Mount Tai.

This hand alone is enough to see that his martial arts are much more clever than Li Yuan that Sun Yihuan met before, and even many martial arts seniors in the audience couldn't help but praise loudly: "What a handsome kung fu!"

And the other side......

"Brother Sun, this surnamed Guo has a bit of strength, I'm afraid you're going to be heavy. Huang Donglai is also knowledgeable, and when he saw Guo Cong's skills, he immediately turned his head and whispered to Sun Yi.

"You shut up Lao Tzu!" Sun Yihuan replied with a crooked mouth, "Brother is going up to fight with someone now, you are still growing up next to others to destroy your own prestige, are you human?"

"Damn, you also have to have a chance to do it before I can grow your majesty. Huang Donglai also scolded like this, and his exit became dirty, "This guy's strength may not even be able to beat me up, and you will be seconded for two hits." ”

"Get out!" Sun Yihuan said, already standing up, "I have my tactics, you take a good look." ”

With that, he picked up the trident, took a step forward, and shouted as in the previous round: "Ah-"

But this time he didn't pole vault, just shook a shot, and then walked off the high platform where he set up a reclining chair very ordinarily, walked towards the ring, and said to the colleagues around the ring as he walked: "I'm sorry to borrow it, let it go, thank you, brother, I'm sorry for stepping on your foot......"

He walked all the way, slowly squeezed through the crowd, came to the edge of the ring, then went around to the judges' seat, walked up the steps on the side of the judges' seat, and finally jumped over a gap that was only about one meter wide and came to the ring.

Originally, Guo Cong was very proud and imposing after his appearance, but Sun Yihuan came to such a show, which immediately disrupted Guo Cong's mood and rhythm.

"Please ......" Guo Cong was a little annoyed, but he didn't know why he was angry, the corners of his mouth twitched and he saluted Sun Yi.

"Please!" And after Sun Yixiang came on stage, he put down the trident again, still on the edge of the ring near his own side, and then he returned to the center of the stage to salute the other party.

When the politeness is over, it's time to do it.

Because he had seen Sun Yihuan's unique posture and attack method before, Guo Cong was not as ridiculous as Li Yuan. As soon as the fight started, Guo Cong stabilized the lower plate, put on an anti-counter grappling posture, and waited for Sun Yihuan to attack.

His understanding is like this - Sun Yihuan's skill is definitely below him, even if there are a few strange punches, it is not enough to make up for the gap in strength, so as long as he holds the mentality of "fighting at a loss", first take a few hits, and then find an opportunity to catch Sun Yihuan and bring the battle into a situation of hand-to-hand wrestling, Sun Yihuan will not be able to play any tricks.

As for Sun Yihuan, as soon as he saw Guo Cong's posture, he understood the latter's intentions, and he immediately said: "You kid wants to play sleeping skills with me, right...... Scold...... Today I will teach you how to write dead characters (this character is the same as traditional and simplified, so ...... ）！”
