Chapter 51: Coming One After Another
Zhou Heng's eyes fell to the door of the martial arts hall, and he saw a beautiful figure standing inside.
She was sixteen or seventeen years old, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, bright and beautiful, wearing a scarlet dress, and when she saw Zhou Heng's gaze, she waved her hand and smiled like a flower.
Exactly the cloud sleeves.
"Sleeve girl, when are you coming back?" Zhou Heng greeted him with a smile, and he only then remembered that Yun Sleeve was coming back for the last five or six days of the month.
"Brother Heng, long time no see. Yun Sleeve Lotus moved lightly and came to Zhou Heng, she suddenly stopped, raised her hand to Zhou Heng from the top of her head, and sighed: "Brother Heng, have you grown taller?"
A month ago, Zhou Heng was only half a head taller than her, but now he is a head taller.
Yun Sleeve is sixteen years old this year, and her body has almost developed, tall and slender, or thanks to martial arts training, she is much taller than ordinary women.
"Well, it seems to have grown a little taller. Zhou Heng nodded and smiled.
Jiupin is the stage of refining and building the foundation, which will improve the entire physical condition, and he is already at the age of development, and it is actually normal to grow taller.
By Earth's standards, it's more than 1.8 meters.
"It's even better!" Yun Sleeve praised generously, then pouted, and said, "You haven't been to my house for breakfast in the past few days, what's the matter?"
"This ......" Zhou Heng scratched his head and said with a smile: "I'll go tomorrow, I'll go tomorrow, girl with sleeves, can I still eat your buns?"
I haven't eaten breakfast these days, I really can't say this, recently he has cultivated palm thunder, and he always chops and shocks some innocent birds and beasts to death, and he is directly cooked.
In line with the principle of not wasting the gifts of nature, he has been eating this for the past few days, so he didn't go to Yun Sleeve's house to eat.
"Of course you have!" Yun Sleeve smiled, and then said, "By the way, Brother Heng, I heard that you are going to accept the test of Changxingmen, right?"
"Well, because I took the medicine and stepped into the nine grades, I had to test the foundation. Zhou Heng nodded and said, "Now that the people from Changxingmen have arrived, it is estimated that the test will be in the next two days." ”
"Then I'll cheer you on! And I have good news. Yun Sleeve smiled: "However, I won't say it now, I'll tell you when you finish the test, let's go!"
After saying that, she turned around, leaving only a faint fragrance behind.
"......" Zhou Heng looked at his departing back, and roared in his heart, don't plant the flag indiscriminately, girl!
Waiting for you...... I'll just ...... Such a sentence structure.
It's too dangerous!
At this time, Yu He walked over, patted Zhou Heng's shoulder, and sighed: "Brother, can you tell me, how can I win the favor of girls?"
"Huh?" Zhou Heng turned his head to look at this good friend, took a closer look, shook his head, and said, "The problem of the face." ”
"Alas, poor Young Master Ben, my face is mediocre. Yu He sighed and said, "It seems that I can only go to Yixianglou tonight to listen to a little song and maintain the interest of life." ”
Yixiang Lou is different from Cuixiang Lou, the incense here really refers to the girl's fragrance, it is a famous green building in Huangtong Mansion City, Yu He's big hobby is to go to the inside to spend money to find Qing people to listen to music.
"Wicked rich people. Zhou Heng made no secret of his envy.
Of course, just envy of having money, not envy of others.
I don't envy the people who play small tunes, and they gently twist and wipe the repetition.
"Hey, don't mention this, how are you preparing for this test?" Yu He smiled: "I heard that this Kong Chengshun is strong and selfless, you have to be careful." ”
"Don't worry. Zhou Heng waved his fist and said, "The victory is in hand." ”
"That's good, by the way, Liu Changsheng, you still remember. Yu He said: "He is about to leave, and he will have a banquet in my restaurant at noon today, and I want to invite you to the banquet, saying that I am grateful to you for helping to intercept and kill the money shopkeeper last time." ”
"That's good, I'll go, don't eat for nothing. Zhou Heng said with a smile.
......
It's noon.
Liu Changsheng was previously attacked by the ghost thing attached to the money shopkeeper, although he was only slightly injured, but it was also shocking, and after recuperating for a few days, he finally returned to his normal state.
Banquet table.
There are not many people, only Liu Changsheng, Wang Steward, Yu He, and Zhou Heng.
Since Zhou Heng was still practicing, he replaced wine with tea.
Wait for the "wine" to pass thirty years.
Liu Changsheng straightened his expression and said seriously: "Is Gongzi Zhou interested in worshipping under the Five Elements Sect?"
"Ah??" Yu He, who was next to him, was frightened when he heard this, looked at Liu Changsheng with a stunned expression, and said, "I'll go, Liu Dashao, are you serious?"
Five Elements Sect!
One of the top ten sects in the world, the grandmaster is a great power that has stepped on the second-grade level, and this is definitely the top martial arts sect in the world.
In Daqi, whether it is prestige or fame, it is only slightly worse than the Chunyang Palace, one of the three palaces of Daomen, and the Wuliang Temple of the four temples of Buddhism.
This is the sect that many warriors dream of wanting to enter.
Now, he actually took the initiative to invite Zhou Heng?
"Worship under the Five Elements Sect?" Zhou Heng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "Is this okay? Liu Gongzi can directly invite me to get started?"
"Ah, this ......" Liu Changsheng touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly: "Not for the time being, but as long as you agree, I can ask my master to reserve a disciple place for me."
"After a few years, when I set foot on the Six Grades of Martial Arts, I can accept you as a disciple, so that you can naturally become the true disciple of my Five Elements Sect. ”
"Gongzi Zhou, you have a very strong comprehension of the Five Elements and a very high talent. Steward Wang also said on the side: "If you can get the true inheritance of the Five Elements Sect, you will definitely be able to step on the level of the middle and third grades in the future." ”
The vast majority of martial artists in the world only pursue the level of the seventh grade, and there are very few who can reach the middle and third grades.
As for the upper three grades...... It was a land fairy-like realm.
Few people dare to expect such an achievement.
Now, Steward Wang's sentence "I will be able to step on the middle three grades" can be said to be a very big temptation for others.
Yu He wanted to open his mouth to persuade Zhou Heng to agree.
After all, according to his thinking of doing business, changing the identity of a true disciple of the Five Elements Sect in a few years is simply an incomparably blood-earning purchase ******of the True Transmission of the Five Elements Sect, and the identity of the outer disciple of the Changxing Sect is not worth mentioning at all.
But he didn't open his mouth after all.
Such an important matter should be left to Zhou Heng to decide, and he should not be allowed to affect the final decision because of his own persuasion.
Zhou Heng didn't answer immediately, he fell into deep thought.
Others don't speak either.
The table fell silent.
After a while, Zhou Heng raised his head, looked at Liu Changsheng, shook his head and smiled: "It sounds like Liu Gongzi still needs to put a lot of effort into it, no need." ”
He politely declined.
Bang Dang...... Yu He's chopsticks were scared again, he didn't expect Zhou Heng to refuse.
That's the Five Elements Sect!
Five Elements Sect!
Liu Changsheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but he was extremely well-cultivated, and he still smiled: "Since this is the case, then I won't mention this, but in the future, as long as Zhou Gongzi is interested, one of my disciples will always be reserved for you." ”
The king steward smiled lightly and did not speak again.
Although neither side said anything to death, in fact, everyone knew that this matter was no longer possible.
The feast then became quiet and soon over.
Liu Changsheng and Steward Wang returned to the Tianzi upper room to rest.
......
in the room.
Liu Changsheng saw that Steward Wang looked displeased, so he smiled and said, "What's the matter, Steward Wang is in a bad mood?"
"Yes, somewhat. Steward Wang nodded and said, "That Zhou Heng actually refused your invitation, young master, who does he think he is?"
"Haha, Steward Wang, this is your fault. Liu Changsheng shook his head and said, "I just gave him an offer, and I didn't force him to worship the door, not to mention that my Five Elements Sect didn't fall into such a field." ”
"Well, this, what the young master said is reasonable. The king steward was still a little dissatisfied in his heart, and said: "But he inevitably thinks too highly of himself and doesn't know what to do." ”
"Steward Wang, no matter what, Zhou Heng can be regarded as helping us, you don't have this idea. Liu Changsheng's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Even if Zhou Heng refuses my invitation, he will be my friend in the future." ”
"Yes, young master, I know. Steward Wang nodded.
He didn't have any ill will towards Zhou Heng originally, but just now he felt that his young master was rejected, and he felt a little resentful, but now that he was awakened, that little resentment disappeared.
"Also, do you think I want to invite him to my door just because of his talent in the Five Elements Dao?" Liu Changsheng stood by the window and looked at the sun outside.
"Are there any other reasons?" Steward Wang said curiously, he knew that although his young master liked martial arts, he was not a reckless person, on the contrary, he was meticulous and insightful.
"Earlier, I happened to see that Zhou Heng was carrying a talisman seal on his body. Liu Changsheng said with a smile: "Although I haven't seen it all, I don't know what the specific rune seal is, but I can also recognize that it is the rune seal penmanship of the Pure Yang Sect." ”
"What does the young master mean is that in fact, someone from the Pure Yang Sect has already been in contact with Zhou Heng!?" Steward Wang's eyes suddenly widened, he was amazed, and said in amazement: "Then what other Changxing faction does he participate in the selection of the outer sect?"
"The Pure Yang Sect is extremely strict in accepting disciples, and the process is cumbersome, having contact does not mean that he has already bowed to the disciple, otherwise I wouldn't want him to worship the disciple. Liu Changsheng shook his head lightly, and then said: "But there is no doubt about one thing, if it weren't for the attention of someone from the Pure Yang Sect, then he wouldn't have the Pure Yang Sect's talisman seal on his body." This means that he must have more extraordinary qualifications. ”
"I see. Steward Wang nodded heartily and said, "The young master has insight into the nuances and is good friends with Zhou Heng this week, it will not be harmful to us." ”
"That's right. Liu Changsheng nodded lightly and said with a smile: "When he conducts the test in two days, let's go and have a look, maybe we can help a little." ”
......
Yu He and Zhou Heng returned to the martial arts hall together.
On the road.
Yu He couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you promise Liu Changsheng, isn't the true inheritance of the Five Elements Sect bad?"
"Hey, hey. Zhou Heng smiled and said, "If I can get started now and get the true inheritance of the Five Elements Sect, maybe I will agree." But in a few years......"
He shook his head slightly, smiling silently.
"What happened in a few years?" Yu He was puzzled and said, "Are you afraid that Liu Changsheng will not be able to break through to the sixth rank in a few years?" This shouldn't be enough, his father is an elder of the Five Elements Sect, and he is a master on the land list." ”
"No, I mean ......" Zhou Heng said with a smile: "Maybe in a few years, I will be stronger than him, and even if I want that disciple quota at that time, he will probably be embarrassed to give it, so it is better to cut it off now." ”
"Ah!?" Yu He was dumbfounded, smashed his mouth, and said in surprise: "Is this a genius??"
"Hey, I'll just think you're complimenting me. Zhou Heng smiled, and was about to brag a few more shamelessly, but suddenly felt a little chilled, as if he was being targeted by something, he looked back suddenly, but found that there was nothing.
"What's wrong?" Yu He wondered.
"Nothing. Zhou Heng shook his head, frowned slightly, and said, "Let's go back to the martial arts hall first." ”
......
After Zhou Heng and Yu He left, two figures appeared out of thin air on the top of a pavilion not far away.
One man and one woman, one tall and one delicate.
The woman is only fifteen or sixteen years old, her face is beautiful, but she is still a little immature, it is Pei Luoling.
Beside her was a middle-aged man who looked to be forty or fifty years old, burly and strong, dressed in a black robe, with knotted muscles, a full beard, and no anger and self-authority.
"This kid has a good sense of perception. The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Although I saw that his gaze was not deliberately restrained, and even had a bit of sharpness, it may not be noticed by ordinary martial artists below the seventh rank, but he sensed it instantly." Well, it's not simple. ”
"Yes, Uncle Zhantu, I know that people who tell stories so well will not be bad in martial arts. Pei Luoling said happily, the middle-aged man next to her was Pei Zhantu, and according to the family lineage, he was her uncle.
Pei Zhantu, Pingzhou Pei's sideline, Wupin Grandmaster, official to Pingzhou County Buwu General Division.
"Quite a genius indeed. Pei Zhantu nodded and said, "There should be no problem for such a young genius to take the support policy of Huangtong Mansion." ”
"But I heard that the application given to him by the Longxing Martial Arts Hall was rejected. Pelo said with a puff of spirit, which was the talk she had heard in the teahouse during the day.
And it's the teaching of the Changsheng Martial Arts Hall and the Tongchang Martial Arts Hall that talks about this, which has a certain credibility.
happened to Pei Zhantu personally came to Huangtong Mansion City to "catch" her back, so she put forward the condition that she could go back, but she had to solve this matter perfectly.
"Rejected?" Pei Zhantu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Then after this kid passes the test of the Changxing faction, I'll see how Tian Chong behaves." ”
"Uncle Zhantu is wise!" said Pei Luoling excitedly.
......
Between thousands of mountains and ravines, the sea of clouds is surging, and there are no people.
Suddenly, I heard a crane chirping in the sky, and a huge white crane pierced through the clouds and fog, setting off a piece of "huge waves", rising above the sky, crossing the lofty mountains and mountains, and flying quickly across the sky.
On this white crane, there was a middle-aged Taoist priest with messy hair and beard, and his eyebrows were vaguely handsome, his Taoist robe was wrinkled, stained with oil, and in some places it had formed a hard shell.
"Goo Dong Goo Dong!" the Taoist priest took the gourd and poured a large sip of wine into his mouth, burping beautifully, his eyes were hazy, and he muttered.
"Northern Daqi, Pingzhou County Huangtong Mansion City, Longxing Wuguan Zhou Heng...... can make the little girl say that the qualifications are superior, well, you can go and see it...... Belch...... Hey, hey, good wine...... Coo Dong Coo Dong ......"
......
In the evening, Lin Cang knocked on the door of Zhou Heng's practice room.
"What's the matter, Master Lin?" Zhou Heng saw that Lin Cang's face was a little wrong, and said suspiciously.
"Huang Jingfu and Hong Kang, those two guys are really not things!" Lin Cang gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and exhaled a long breath, "Zhou Heng, I'm sorry for you, I've been letting you practice the Rushing Sky Falling Sword these days, but I didn't expect them to be so insidious." ”
"What's going on?" Zhou Heng looked confused.
"They propose to test empty-handed!!" Lin Cang said the test rules he heard from Lei Xiuyuan, and finally said indignantly, "This is obviously deliberately suppressing you! You have only been learning the kung fu in your hands for a few days, how can you test this?"
"Master Lin is calm for a while. Zhou Heng smiled: "Actually, I think this test plan is also feasible." ”
"Ah, what are you talking about?" Lin Cang was stunned when he heard this, and said in amazement: "You have the confidence to let Kong Chengshun parry you three times? ”
"That's faith. The corners of Zhou Heng's mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile, and said, "I still have it." ”
......
Two days later.
In front of the Buwu Division of Huangtong Mansion, a tall and spacious ring was set up, and a temporary high platform was built for important "audiences" to stay.
Many people who watched the excitement flocked to it.
Zhou Heng, as the testee, came here early and waited in the ring.
The masters, instructors, and core apprentices of the Tongchang Martial Arts Hall, Changsheng Martial Arts Hall, and Longxing Martial Arts Hall have all arrived one after another.
Yun Sleeve, Pei Luoling, Liu Changsheng, Steward Wang and others also stood in a place with a good view and waited.
Zhou Heng ignored the noisy noise of the audience, and sat cross-legged in the ring with his eyes closed.
Operate the internal qi and calm the mind.
Suddenly, his eyes snapped open and he looked to the other side of the ring.
Kong Chengshun came and went directly to the ring.
Test the competition!
It's about to start!
