Chapter 49: Fame
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and on this day, in the entire Tiandu City, the streets were full of traffic, the crowd was rubbing shoulders, and the voices of people were boiling, so it was not lively.
It's just because the martial arts tournament once every ten years officially began today.
Although the number of Qi Realm martial artists who came to the Martial Arts Fighting Conference was less than 2,000, the number of people who came to this city to see the excitement was more than ten times the number of these martial artists. Among them, in addition to ordinary people, there are also many force realm martial artists, just to have a long insight, maybe they can participate in the next ten years of martial arts competition.
The martial arts tournament is held in a total of nine rings, and the first two days will end the first round of primaries, and before each subsequent round of martial arts, there will be a two-day break, just to let each martial artist adjust his condition and give full play to his strength.
Nine rings, encircled in a circle in a huge square, so that everyone could see the fighting in each ring.
In the middle of the circle surrounded by nine rings, there are nine cases corresponding to the back of the nine rings, in front of which sit nine civil officials in official uniforms, and in front of them are also placed pen, ink, paper and inkstone, to record the results of the fight.
Beside these civilian officials, there were also many soldiers with weapons in their hands, all with solemn expressions and vigilant faces. This martial arts meeting is extremely huge, and there are many people here, maybe there will be people who will make trouble, and they will be responsible for protecting the safety of these civil officials.
In the first few martial arts fights of the martial arts conference, few members of the royal family of the Zhou State appeared, and they usually appeared in the last few martial arts fights.
"When ......"
At this moment, on a high platform in the middle of the nine rings, a sturdy man struck a huge gong, and the low sound of the gong clearly fell into everyone's ears.
Hearing this, the whole square suddenly fell silent.
At this time, the big man on the high platform said loudly: "There are no eyes for fists and feet, and casualties are inevitable." Anyone who participates in the martial arts conference this time is conceited by life and death, and has nothing to do with the royal family of our Zhou Kingdom. The rules of martial arts are extremely simple, one side admits defeat, or the two sides divide the winner or loser, and the fight stops. In addition, those who maliciously injure and kill people in martial arts will be disqualified from martial arts. Martial Arts Conference, Officially Begin ......"
"When ......"
As soon as the man's voice fell, a heavy hammer struck the gong, and then a gong sound that was several times louder than just now echoed throughout the square for a long time.
The crowd in the huge square was talking, and there was a commotion.
"Liu Gu of Tianyuan County, Zhaogong of Pingshan County, No. 1 Wudoutai ......"
"Zhang Ziyu of Heling County, Wang Jiu of Fannan County, No. 2 Wudoutai ......"
"Wuzuo, Xiliang County, Liangdu, Xihai County, No. 3 Wudoutai ......"
The next moment, I heard the voices of civil officials one after another, and began to announce the order of the ring for those participating in the martial arts.
And after the voices of these civil officials fell, from the crowd below, you could see that one by one the figures flew up and landed on the martial arts platform.
What's more, he stepped on everyone's shoulders from a distance and went straight to the ring, causing many people to be angry.
When these people stood in the ring, all eyes fell on them.
I saw that most of these people were old men in their fifties, and even more looked like they were past their sixtieth year. They carry a wide variety of weapons, including the most common swords, long whips, and rare weapons such as brass hammers.
Most of these people are self-reliant sect cultivators, and it is not easy to cultivate to the Qi realm without a backer, so they are naturally older.
If you look carefully, you will find that all these people in the ring are older, which is actually Zhou Guo's intention.
The reason why Zhou Guo used the method of martial arts to select the best of the Qi Realm martial artists was to cultivate these people into Void Realm martial artists so that they could serve Zhou Guo in the future.
And if these selected people are too old, whether they can break through to the virtual realm for the time being, even if they can, they can't serve Zhou Guo for too long, and Zhou Guo won't spend money to support these short-lived ghosts.
Therefore, the people finally selected by Zhou Guo are qualified to break through, and their age must not be too big. Although it is said that the top three people are selected in the martial arts competition, but in every martial arts competition, the top three are not over 50 years old.
When a total of eighteen people stood in the nine rings, the civil official did not name them again, only to see one of them look at the big man on the high platform behind him and nodded.
Seeing this, the big man responded with his head bowed, and struck the huge gong in front of him.
"When ......"
The sound of the gong echoed throughout the square again.
As soon as this sound fell, the eighteen people in the nine rings moved at the same time, and they all rushed towards each other.
Everyone in the audience let out a burst of shouts, watching intently, and they didn't even blink their eyes, for fear of missing the wonderful battle.
After the eighteen people on the stage fought together, they could hear the clanging sound of various weapons colliding, as well as the low shouts and shouts from the mouths of the people.
Under the shadow of the sword and sword, in just a moment's effort, someone divided the winner and loser.
I saw that in the No. 7 ring, a fifty-year-old man with a long sword cut a long hole in the opponent's chest, and the opponent kept retreating, and was forcibly forced by the old man, and finally could only admit defeat.
Great battles between warriors can be lost if they are not careful, so it is often impossible to last too long. After the victory and defeat were divided in the No. 7 ring, it was only a small half cup of tea that passed, and all the martial arts fights in the ring were also divided.
Thankfully, there were no deaths in this first fight, and as long as the loser immediately admits defeat, the opponent will not continue to kill.
After all, those who maliciously hurt and kill people will be disqualified from fighting.
After winning or losing, the civil official recorded it, and then began to report the names of the people in the second fight.
At this time, somewhere in the square, Beihe stood in the crowd, watching the situation on the martial arts platform from a distance, and showed a thoughtful look.
Judging from the nine battles just now, with his strength, the probability of winning is not small.
After all, he is Lu Hou's disciple, and after Lu Hou's training and Jiang Muyuan's guidance, his martial arts skills are not comparable to these loose cultivators.
After the next batch of warriors took the stage, I saw that these people were also older, and after some competition, soon the third group of people came on the stage again.
In this way, most of the day passed in the blink of an eye, and it was in the afternoon.
Just when Beihe thought that maybe he would have to wait until tomorrow to appear, another round of martial arts was announced. One of the civil officials said: "Beihe of Tianyuan County, Liu Taiqi of Xihai County, No. 1 Wudoutai ......"
Hearing this, Beihe's spirit was shocked, but he didn't expect it to be his turn.
At this time, I saw him squeeze through the crowd and walk in the direction of the No. 1 martial arts platform.
Long before him, a man in black who was about forty years old had already jumped onto the No. 1 martial arts platform, and this man's eyes roamed around the crowd below, as if looking for his opponent again.
The man in black was dressed in a black hexagram, carrying a broadsword on his back, his appearance was extremely resolute, and the muscles under the hexagram were fully displayed.
As the civil officials continued to name names, more than a dozen people successively appeared on other martial arts platforms.
At this moment, Beihe finally squeezed through the crowd and came to the front of the No. 1 martial arts platform, he plucked up his true qi, jumped down and stood on the martial arts platform, and looked at the man in black in front of him.
"...... Uproar"
And as soon as he appeared on the stage, it caused an uproar, and for no other reason, Beihe was too young.
At the same time, everyone also reacted immediately, Beihe should be the one who spread the news this time, the Qi Realm martial artist who was less than twenty years old.
Almost everyone in the square set their eyes on the No. 1 martial arts platform, and there was even a scene of crowds crowding towards the No. 1 martial arts platform, all wanting to witness the demeanor of this Qi Realm martial artist who was less than twenty years old.
"When ......"
At this moment, the gong that began the martial arts was struck. For a while, many warriors on the martial arts platform all moved and swept towards their opponents.
It's just that the No. 1 martial arts platform is an exception, and at this time, Beihe and the man in black are looking at each other.
Beihe is holding the mentality that the enemy will not move, and as for the man in black, this person is not only surprised, but also wants to take a good look at this Qi Realm martial artist who is less than twenty years old.
"Boy, the sword has no eyes, you have to be careful. At this moment, I only heard the man in black say.
As soon as the words fell, the man pulled out the broadsword on his back.
Seeing this, Beihe moved, he rushed towards this person with his legs, and after getting closer, he slammed the iron rod in his hand, and at the same time, the true qi in his body was not retained at all, and it was injected into the iron rod.
The man in black wanted to retreat, but when he thought that Beihe was just a hairy boy under twenty years old, he raised his knife to meet him.
"Boom!"
The iron rod slammed into the broadsword with a loud and piercing sound.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The next moment, I saw the man in black holding a broadsword staggering back, until he retreated to the edge of the martial arts platform to stand firmly.
Before this person came back to his senses, Beihe had already deceived himself, and the iron rod in his hand swept towards his chest.
Enraged, the man held his broadsword in front of him.
"Boom!"
The long stick smashed on the broadsword, and the figure of the man in black flew directly out of the ring, and smashed on the solid ground as the crowd dispersed. At this time, this person only felt that his arm was numb, and his breath was disordered.
"Hiss......"
Many people took a breath of cold air, looking at Beihe on the martial arts platform, their faces full of disbelief.
I didn't expect this battle to end so quickly, and the result was that this Qi Realm martial artist, who was less than twenty years old, won.
Even many civilian officials who recorded the victory and defeat widened their eyes.
A twenty-year-old Qi Realm martial artist is already incredible, but he didn't expect his strength to be so strong.
After this battle, Beihe's name spread completely, and even information about him flowed into the royal family of Zhou.
......
At the same time, hundreds of feet in the sky of Tiandu City, the two beautiful women watched this scene with great interest, and only heard one of the women say: "An ordinary man can cultivate to the qi realm at the age of a teenager, which is a bit unusual, even if he has a quota." I'll go and set up a trap formation, and find the right time for my sister to arrest this person. ”
"Good. The other woman nodded.
So I saw that the figure of the woman who spoke first moved, and galloped away from the sky above Tiandu City.
