For Prince Zonghai, Zong Lan has always been a strong enemy on his way to inherit the throne of Tubo, Zong Lan's death is obviously a good news for him, without this half-brother, his trip to Khitan is bound to win, the beauty of the country and the city and the extremely prosperous prestige are already in his pocket. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, Nakhapa's gaze never lingered on Prince Zonghai for a long time, in his opinion, Zonghai was a person who was indifferent and incapacitated, and it was difficult to accomplish great things, and the person who was really taboo was the pillar behind him -- the Gelug Sect's Grandmaster Gendun Sangyal! The informant he had quietly placed in the Gelug sect had already secretly reported to him that this Gendun Sangyal's tantric mudra kung fu had reached the tenth level, which was comparable to his own "Flame Finger", and if this person was not removed, Prince Zonghai would always have no fear.

Jimod stood behind Nakhapa, a pair of green eyes turned straight away, sweeping around the crowd, he suddenly found Li Jing's figure, and hurriedly pointed it out to Master Nakhaba, eager to make meritorious contributions, "Master, that person is Li Bisheng, it was he who killed Senior Brother!"

Na Kapa looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw that the gorgeous robe Li Jing was wearing was the one given to him by the old king of Tubo, and immediately understood, it turned out that it was not the Gelug sect who killed Prince Zonglan before, but this enemy who appeared halfway.

Nakhaba nodded repeatedly, "We have one more opponent, although this person is not from the Gelug sect, but he has helped them a lot, and it may not be necessary to have formed an alliance with each other. Then he instructed Gimod, "You bring a few juniors over to carefully observe this person's martial arts performance in the preliminary round, and report it to me in detail after the competition, and don't miss any details." ”

When Jimod heard this, he hurriedly took the order, picked out the four most shrewd and capable people from among the junior disciples, and approached Li Jing. Li Jing was shrewd by nature, and immediately noticed that there were five people sneakily following behind her, she quietly reached out and pulled Liu Yu's sleeve, and complained: "Look, it's all your fault, those Tubo people are coming to me to settle accounts." ”

When Liu Yu heard that he was about to turn around, Li Jing hurriedly stopped him and scolded lightly: "You are stupid, don't look at it! Be careful to startle the snakes, I have my own ideas to deal with them!"

Just as everyone was thinking and discussing, a group of Yelu soldiers opened a long path in the crowd, and dozens of wrestlers carried fat live cattle and live sheep past in front of everyone. Liu Yu has been in Khitan for a long time, and he has long been familiar with the customs here, and knows that the so-called heavenly sacrifice ceremony is about to begin.

Dozens of shamans followed behind the Jerushi soldiers as they walked toward a newly built mound. It is estimated that because they are pampered on weekdays, or often ride on horseback, these people are all staggering, and the strings of copper coins hanging on their leather coats tinkle in the wind.

Many martial arts people had no choice but to follow the local customs at this moment, and followed these shamans to the direction of the mound. Liu Yu walked to the mound, only to see that the mound was about three people high, and all the soil was newly excavated.

It must have cost a lot of manpower to dig out such a high mound overnight, and it seems that this Yelu Shilu really spent a lot of thought for this martial arts competition!

The whole process of worshipping the heavens is extremely cumbersome, first sacrificing to the gods of the grassland, and then praying to the heavens. The sharp knives in the hands of a group of sword-wielding wrestlers never stopped, the new soil on the earthen platform was soaked with the blood of cattle and sheep, and the heads of sheep and cows were placed on the table, and the dead things stared at the empty sky on the grassland with their bleak eyes.

The shamans' boring incantations made everyone drowsy. Yelu Shilu never appeared in person from beginning to end, and maintained his mysterious impression as a Khitan Khan as always, which became an important reason why everyone never dared to bow their heads and doze off with confidence. In case the Khitan Khan suddenly comes, it is a necessary etiquette to kowtow to the ground immediately, and it is also the first step towards fame.

It wasn't until more than an hour later that Princess Liu Ge was ordered to appear and circled around the high platform. Her alluring beauty and fluttering red dress caused a lot of commotion among the martial arts people. Her beautiful eyes were shining, and she slowly swept through the crowd, until everyone in the crowd hallucinated, as if she had won the special favor of Princess Liuge.

Only Brother Liu himself knew that she was looking for someone, and this person must be looking at him at the moment.

The bronze horse did not deliberately disguise himself today, he just pressed his cowhide hat very low, the brim of which reached the nose, making it difficult to see his true face. And he himself didn't plan to see anyone else. When he set out early in the morning, he solemnly blindfolded himself with a black cloth.

While losing his vision, his hearing felt compensated, and he didn't know how many times sharper than usual. Vision is limited by the front and back of the body, but the sense of hearing can come from all directions, without the slightest blind spot. The secret of the Liuhe knife method lies in "turning like one, returning to the origin on all sides", so the perfect hearing without dead ends can be called the key to the perfect use of the Liuhe knife method.

The bronze horse could hear the heartbeats of the crowd, including his own, with a hint of anxiety in his composure. He knew where this trace of anxiety came from - the Anniang or Brother Liu who had always haunted his heart and never dispersed!

At present, this sentiment has become more and more an obstacle for him to "abandon himself and completely devote himself to this competition". His deep eyes, hidden behind the black cloth, closed slowly, and although there was no difference between closing and opening his eyes, they seemed to relieve him of some pressure. He sighed softly, and the warm breath swept over his right hand gripping the hilt of the knife - he needed to completely dispel the impression of Brother Liu from his heart.

It was not until the sun had passed the western half of the sky that the preliminary round began at the long call of the proclaimer. The long ceremony of sacrificing to the sky made this competition full of rituals, and the appearance of Princess Liu Ge completely mobilized the desire in Qunhao's heart to be unsettled.

Jerushlu is worthy of a generation of heroes, he knows what is necessary and what is not necessary, and only a few small actions have whetted everyone's appetite.

The clerk began to arrange for everyone to draw lots and divide into groups, Liu Yu and Li Jing lined up behind the crowd, his mood was a little uneasy, after all, this was the first time after his martial arts achievements that he competed with the masters who had been famous in the martial arts for a long time in front of everyone.
