Chapter 50: The Necessary Sacrifice
Avoid arousing suspicion?
Lei Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Kong Chengshun to suddenly say such a thing.
Although this test is actually to test whether the martial arts hall party has given the apprentice drugs that damage the foundation, the test results are not just related to a martial arts hall, and there is no reason for him to avoid suspicion.
What's more, now that the feast has just begun, let him go out, what is this??
Even Huang Jingfu, Hong Kang and Tian Chong next to him didn't expect this situation.
How could Kong Chengshun seem to suddenly look at Lei Xiu far from pleasing his eyes?
Could it be because of what Lei Xiuyuan said just now?
But there's nothing wrong with that.
What's going on?
"Heh, just kidding, don't take it seriously. Kong Chengshun suddenly spoke again, he stroked the long sword, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's start and discuss how to test Zhou Heng." ”
Lei Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he also noticed that Kong Chengshun seemed to really care about the sword.
He just said that being able to follow him was a blessing for this sword, which made him displeased?
But that's weird, isn't it?
Lei Xiuyuan temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and refocused his attention on the test plan that was about to be discussed.
This test plan, whether it is for Zhou Heng or for him, is very important.
But he just got Kong Chengshun's cold eyes, although he had the heart to ask, he didn't dare to be the first to speak.
It was at this time.
Huang Jingfu stood up and saluted Kong Chengshun with a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Kong Gongzi, you should already have some ideas about the rules of this test." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lei Xiuyuan, Hong Kang and Tian Chong also looked over.
Kong Chengshun didn't immediately show his attitude, he drank a glass of wine by himself, and said with a smile: "What do you think?"
Lei Xiuyuan's eyes lit up and he was about to speak.
But Huang Jingfu preemptively said: "How old is the old idiot, I have seen more things, I have been thinking about this matter for the past few days, and I do have a plan, would you like to hear it?"
"Speak. Kong Chengshun said lightly.
"Thank you for your trust. Huang Jingfu said with a smile: "I think so, since it is just a test competition, then naturally there is no need to really fight, after all, Zhou Heng is definitely not your opponent."
"My idea is that Zhou Heng will attack, and Childe, you will dodge or parry, and see if Zhou Heng can let you parry a few times before he is exhausted, so as to test whether his foundation is stable and whether he has taken drugs that will damage his foundation. ”
Parrying means that there is no time to dodge, and it is not easy for a nine-rank martial artist to attack an eight-rank martial artist who has no time to dodge.
Normally, an ordinary ninth-rank martial artist can parry an eighth-rank martial artist two or three times before he is exhausted, which is already considered to be strong and fast.
If the foundation is damaged, the result of the test will definitely be weaker than that of a martial artist of the same level, and you can try it out after you try it.
Lei Xiuyuan listened to this plan, and it seemed to be good when he thought about it carefully, but this Huang Jingfu was really so kind?
He was a little unconvinced.
After all, Tian Chong, the chief secretary of Buwu, Huang Jingfu of the Tongchang Martial Arts Pavilion, and Hong Kang of the Changsheng Martial Arts Pavilion, the three of them had obviously colluded together a long time ago, wanting to jointly make profits in the selection of the outer disciples of the Changxing Sect.
How is it possible to give such a normal solution?
Is there a follow-up?
"Well, not bad idea. Kong Chengshun nodded and said, "What else?"
"Childe, you should know that this Zhou Heng is good at knife skills. Huang Jingfu had a serious expression and said, "If you test it with the martial arts he is best at, it may cause some problems."
He can rely on his proficiency in knife skills, adjust his luck skills, and save physical strength and strength consumption during the test, so as to delay the arrival of exhaustion, so that the purpose of the test may not be achieved. ”
"That's right. Hong Kang also chimed in: "I also think that he should be forbidden to participate with a knife." ”
Lei Xiuyuan was immediately angry when he heard this, it turned out that he was waiting here!
"No!" he spoke directly, and said: "Zhou Heng has only practiced martial arts for two years, and in terms of moves, he only has a perfect sword technique, if he doesn't let him use the sword technique, he can't even be considered a nine-rank martial artist, how can this be tested?"
"Hey, Lei Pavilion Master is in a hurry. Tian Chong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Actually, what is tested is only the foundation, and the moves are not so important, not to mention that the Huang Pavilion Master is only proposing, and in the end it is up to Kong Gongzi to decide." ”
"You can't use a knife. Kong Chengshun nodded and said: "I heard that Zhou Heng also learned the Eighteen Styles of Shenwei, so he didn't use weapons during the test, and he used his hands and feet to do it."
"After all, the sword has no eyes, and it wouldn't be good if I hurt him when I parried. ”
Kung Fu with hands and feet?
Lei Xiuyuan was stunned, and Hong Kang and Tian Chong also looked at each other.
I've never heard that Kong Chengshun is good at kung fu with hands and feet, hasn't he always been famous for his swordsmanship?
"What, do you have any objections?" Kong Chengshun looked around at everyone.
"No, no. Lei Xiuyuan shook his head.
He knew that this might be the best result that could be achieved now, and Zhou Heng Shenwei Eighteen Styles practiced very well, so it was not necessarily impossible to pass the test.
Hong Kang and Tian Chong were a little hesitant, especially after seeing that Lei Xiuyuan also agreed, they were a little panicked.
Could it be that Zhou Heng's hand and foot skills are also good?
That's not going to roll over.
"I have no objection either. At this time, Huang Jingfu spoke.
This immediately gave Hong Kang and Tian Chong a reassurance.
Both of them also hurriedly agreed.
The next thing is to discuss how much Zhou Heng can let Kong Chengshun parry.
In the midst of the staggered planning, things were slowly finalized.
As long as Zhou Heng can parry Kong Chengshun more than three times before he runs out of strength, he will pass the test.
......
Wait until the feast is over.
Lei Xiuyuan left, and Kong Chengshun was sent to the restaurant that had been booked in advance.
Only Huang Jingfu, Hong Kang and Tian Chong are left here.
"Brother Huang, what's the matter, is this stable?" Hong Kang asked anxiously, "How is Kong Chengshun's fist and foot kung fu?"
"That's it, old hall master, what's going on?" Tian Chong was also a little anxious, and said: "There is a way that 'palm is an invisible knife', this week's Heng Sword Method is complete, and the achievement of the Eighteenth Style of Shenwei may not be too bad."
"In case Kong Chengshun really parries Zhou Heng three times, then won't we finish the calf?"
"Don't worry. Huang Jingfu still looked confident, and said with a smile: "Everyone in the world thinks that Kong Chengshun is the best at swordsmanship, but I learned the truth from some disciples of the Changxing faction.
Compared with swordsmanship, Kong Chengshun is better at boxing and body skills, he proposed this plan, obviously he didn't want to recruit Zhou Heng, poor Lei Xiuyuan, he actually thought this was a good result, hahaha. ”
"I see!" Hong Kang's eyes lit up, and he felt that the mountains of silver were about to be sent to him, and said with a smile: "This Kong Gongzi is really a good person, he is so cooperative." ”
"But why doesn't Kong Chengshun want to recruit Zhou Heng?" Tian Chong was a little puzzled, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, "Could it be that Liu Songshan is going to compete for the position of the head of the family?"
Liu Songshan is the law enforcement elder of the Changxing faction, Kong Chengshun's master, and the master of the six grades.
"Is there any other possibility?" Huang Jingfu chuckled: "The longevity of the old head of the Changxing faction is coming to an end, and he will sit down in thirty or fifty years at most, so Liu Songshan naturally has to make a plan.
"On the one hand, it is necessary to avoid the emergence of extremely highly qualified geniuses in the new generation and disrupt the situation, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to win over the disciples from all walks of life in the sect and obtain a certain amount of support. ”
"No wonder the elder brother emphasized that the Tongchang Martial Arts Pavilion has sent a lot of disciples to the Changxing Paisong, and it turns out that it is useful here!" Hong Kang stroked his palms and smiled: "Liu Songshan must win over you, elder brother! This matter is done, hahaha!"
"The old hall owner is very far-sighted, and everything is really what you expected. Tian Chong was also extremely impressed.
"Hey, if it weren't for the old master's pedantic and stuck all kinds of rules, why would I have to be so troublesome?" Huang Jingfu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's just that poor Zhou Heng, who knows nothing and is about to be sacrificed." ”
"Look at what my brother said, isn't this normal?" Hong Kang said with a smile: "A mud leg from a mountain village, no background, no background, isn't he a good victim?"
"It's just his bad luck. Tian Chong also smiled: "This is a necessary sacrifice." ”
......
Longxing martial arts hall, in an independent practice room.
Zhou Heng was still cultivating the Six-Way Folding Plum Hand, this seven-grade martial art was extremely profound, and the mystery was endless, which made him feel more and more frightened the more he practiced.
It's just that the seventh-grade martial arts are already so powerful, the secret sixth-grade, the fifth-grade sect, and the fourth-grade ...... Even the supreme divine skill of the first product of God, how powerful it should be!
Bang bang!
Just when Zhou Heng was imagining the future, there was a knock on the door.
He opened the door, but saw Yu He standing outside.
"Zhou Heng, you know how to practice every day, and you don't even know that someone has come back from Pingzhou County. "Yu He has recovered and just returned to the martial arts hall to practice today.
"Pingzhou County?" Zhou Heng was puzzled when he heard this, and he didn't remember who he knew in Pingzhou County for a while.
"Well, you're really going to have to live with your hands for the rest of your life. Yu He rolled his eyes, pointed in the direction of the door, and said, "Everyone has been waiting for you at the breakfast stall across the door for several days."
"Every day I prepare a big white bun waiting for you, but you haven't passed these days. ”
"Huh?" Zhou Heng looked at the door of the martial arts hall in amazement.
