Volume 1 A Hundred Years of Luck in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 186 Cao Jing withdraws from the competition
In the corner of the martial arts field, there were two people whispering.
"Are you sure that Meng Li is taking the number six?"
Han Fei looked at the young martial artist opposite with a fierce expression.
The young disciple who was dressed like Han Fei, named Liu Yu, was the same as Han Fei, and they were all disciples of the Seven Star Sect.
Liu Yu's talent is slightly inferior, not as good as the elite disciples in the sect, and he has just entered the six forgings. But even so, he is the only disciple of the Seven Star Sect who has entered this stage except for Zhuang Yu and Han Fei.
Just now Han Fei drew the number and was about to adjust his state, Liu Yu suddenly found him and said that he had something important to tell him, and the two came to a remote corner. And then there was this scene that just happened.
Seeing that Han Fei really cared, Liu Yu nodded again and again and said: "It's true, when Meng Li drew lots just now, I was behind him, although I just glanced at it, but it will never be wrong." As he spoke, his voice suddenly lowered. "Senior brother, aren't you going to settle accounts with him, this time the competition is an opportunity. β
Looking at the twenty-eighth in his hand, Han Fei said with a gloomy face: "Meng Li is the sixth, then his opponent is the fifth, you go and help me ask to see who the fifth is in." β
Liu Yu said: "I have already inquired about this, and it was Cao Jing who drew the fifth number just now." β
"Cao Jing?" Han Fei's face sank, and he said, "This woman is pretentious, and Senior Brother Zhuang and I don't like it." In the dungeon before, Senior Brother Zhuang didn't give her a good face, presumably she already held a grudge, if I begged her at this time, wouldn't I let her see the joke?"
"What can I do about this?" Liu Yu said with a sad face: "That Meng is no more than five forgings, and if he fights against Cao Jing, he must not be an opponent, although I have a number seven in my hand, it is useless." β
"No. 7 in your hands?" Han Fei looked at Liu Yu thoughtfully.
Liu Yu hesitated and said: "Senior brother, you don't want to change numbers with me, there is Cao Jing in the second group, if you change the past, it will be a battle between two tigers!"
When two tigers fight, one will be injured.
"Are the two tigers fighting? That's not necessarily!" Han Fei sneered: "If Cao Jing wants to compete with me, at least he must pass Meng Li's level first." β
Liu Yu was taken aback when he heard this: "Senior brother means that this Meng Li can be compared to the Seven Forgings?"
According to Liu Yu's understanding, this Meng Li only has five forgings, if he can really compete with seven forgings, it will cross two small realms, and it will be against the sky!
"On par with the Seven Forgings? Han Fei sneered, his words full of disdain.
Spanning two forgings and seven forgings are on a par with each other, is that guy really a peerless genius?
In Han Fei's opinion, Meng Li's body method is slightly stronger than ordinary people, and in other aspects, he is worthless.
Han Fei's inconsistent attitude confused Liu Yu, and he wondered: "Even if that's the case, what does Senior Brother mean?"
"Meng Li can't beat Cao Jing, but don't forget that there are still us!"
Han Fei chuckled in a low voice, his expression was indescribably proud, as long as Meng Li could defeat Cao Jing, they would naturally meet. At that time, whether Meng Li lives or dies is not up to him.
"Senior brother, do you have a plan?"
Han Fei looked at the white and flawless white shadow not far away, and said thoughtfully: "I remember that this Fairy Cao seems to have a very serious cleanliness habit. β
As he was talking, he suddenly thought about it, and beckoned to Liu Yu: "Come here with your ears!"
Liu Yu leaned in, listening to Han Fei's plan, his expression became more and more exciting, and when he heard the end, he couldn't help but stretch out his thumb and shouted: "Senior brother is wise!"
A worthless sycophant was delivered, and along with it, there was the No. 7 note.
"Number six, this number, I don't like it!"
Meng Li, who was holding the note in both hands and looking left and right, looked worried.
This contest is a forty-in-ten mechanism, that is, as long as he wins twice in a row, he can pass the assessment.
Winning twice in a row seems simple, but it's actually not simple.
After all, after the government intervened, this assessment has become a form of seven forging guards, completely eliminating the element of luck.
If Meng Li wanted to get the martial arts order, it would be an inevitable result to fight with the Seven Forging Martial Artists. It's just that I didn't expect that the other party would be Cao Jing of the Lotus Picking Sword Sect.
It's not that Cao Jing's opponent is not good, but the other party is a woman after all, and his true qi is too domineering, once he makes a move, there is no possibility of stopping, and when the time comes, if he is not careful, he will ruin this like a flower, and he will not be scolded to death by the people of Jieshui City!
It must be known that although Cao Jing looks down on men a little, it is this arrogance that has made her very popular in Jieshui City, not only deeply respected by women, but even those who are scolded by her for being stinky men are also flocking to her.
Meng Li's restless appearance quickly attracted everyone's attention.
Miss Bu said mercilessly: "What's the matter?"
Meng Li ignored her and looked at Ming Xuan instead.
"Brother Ming, why don't we change the numbers of the two of us?"
"You dare!" Bu Yu crossed his hands on his hips and glared at Ming Xuan viciously, the latter shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Those who know the times are Junjie, I think forget it!"
Hearing the satisfactory reply, Miss Bu laughed.
"A good person who knows the times is Junjie, Brother Ming, what about your principles and bottom line?" Meng Li shook his head and sighed, not embarrassed. Then he quietly stretched out his palm and said in a low voice: "Brother Ming, give me your number, I promise, I will definitely teach this unruly young lady a hard lesson, so that she will never be rude again." β
Bu Yu's gaze as he stared at Ming Xuan became colder and colder.
Feeling the gaze cast by his side, Ming Xuan had a premonition that was ten thousand times more dangerous than life and death, and immediately said categorically: "Husband, you must do what you say, and if you don't change it, you won't change it." β
"Okay!"
Bu Yu jumped up happily, got carried away, and pounced on Ming Xuan.
"Miss Bu, you, what are you doing here?"
Ming Xuan seemed to have been immobilized, his body stiffened, and he didn't dare to move when he stood still.
"Cousin, why is your face red?" Du Mu said inappropriately.
"Ahh
Du Mu said lightly: "No, I lied to you." β
You little bastard, are you happy to see your cousin make a fool of yourself?
Mingxuan was embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Don't look at his usual appearance, he doesn't panic. Only in the treatment of women, there is no power to resist at all.
When I was a child, I was touched by the maid at home, and I had to be shy for a long time.
This Miss Bu is as fierce as fire, and her behavior is even more informal, which is simply his nemesis.
Bu Yu also realized that he had lost his temper, jumped off Ming Xuan, and apologized repeatedly.
Seeing that Mingxuan was getting more and more embarrassed, Zhou Wei changed the topic and said, "I'm very curious, if we really change the number, how will the four judges react?"
As he spoke, his eyes were already looking at Du Mu.
Because of Bai Ye's relationship, Du Mu has become the most well-informed one among everyone, and if he inquires about some gossip in the past few days, he will think of him as soon as possible.
Du Mu really didn't disappoint everyone, and said expressionlessly: "In principle, this is not allowed, after all, it is unfair, but the judges' handwriting is not clean, this situation is really going to happen, as long as the impact is not big, they will choose to turn a blind eye." β
The judges have all moved their hands and feet, so how can anyone talk about justice? How can anyone do such a thing as a thief shouting to catch a thief?
Zhou Wei was indeed righteous enough, took out his number and said, "Brother Meng Li, do you think there will be pressure to deal with Cao Jing?" β
Meng Li only has five forgings, but he and Cao Jing are both seven forgings. When he faced Cao Jing, although he was not sure of victory, he was always more hopeful than Meng Li.
Zhou Wei's move is tantamount to drawing another question mark on the martial arts order that will definitely be in hand. For such a big favor, how could Meng Li accept it? He said solemnly: "Brother Zhou, thank you, but I don't think it's necessary." β
Zhou Wei frowned, and said unhappily: "Are you afraid that I won't be able to beat Cao Jing?"
Meng Li couldn't help but laugh and said: "I didn't mean that, in fact, I also want to know where the difference between myself and Qiduan is, such a good opportunity, I can't just give up." β
"I see. Zhou Wei knew that this was just an excuse for Meng Li, but since Meng Li was unwilling to accept his kindness, he would not force it himself.
After all, although friends are heart-to-heart, they also talk about proportion.
Before you know it, the time has come, and the competition assessment has officially begun.
Zhou Wei, as the No. 1 player, was naturally the first to appear, and it was naturally the No. 2 player who fought against him.
The player who drew the second number was a loose cultivator who was about to stand in his first year, and he was not Zhou Wei's opponent at all in the six-forging realm, and he was defeated in two moves.
Zhou Wei's wonderful performance attracted a full house.
In this burst of applause, Zhou Wei walked off the martial stage and said to Meng Li: "It's up to you next." β
Meng Li nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you." β
Meng Li and Cao Jing's match was in the third game, and before that, there was a battle between No. 3 and No. 4.
The two people who fought against each other were also in the six-forging realm, and after a battle, No. 3 narrowly won a move.
At the end of the second game, the eyes of Du Mu and the others looked at Meng Li at the same time, and the latter took a deep breath and slowly walked onto the competition platform.
His steps are very steady, every step is solid, and as he takes steps, his breath also changes from light to heavy, gradually giving people a very steady feeling.
Luo Jing, who was far away on the judging platform, looked at Meng Li, whose aura was transformed, and said with full interest: "This is the Meng Li who has only five forgings of true qi, judging from his actions, it really doesn't look like a martial artist with only five forgings." β
"Hmph, the foundation is solid enough!" Feng Yu first snorted coldly, and then gave an objective and fair evaluation.
Bai Ye seemed to have picked a cabbage in good condition when he was shopping for vegetables, and proudly showed off: "I have seen the strength of this Meng Li, although it is only five forging bodies, but his sword skills are exquisite, and he can compete with the six forging warriors.
"Compete with the Six Forging Martial Artists?" Feng Yu said with a smile: "Don't say it's a competition, even if he can defeat the Six Forging Warriors, don't forget that his opponent is Cao Jing!"
Hearing this, Bai Ye was like a dumb cannonball, and he was suddenly silent.
Cao Jing, that is the chief disciple of the Lotus Picking Sword Sect, a proper seven-forging martial artist, and his swordsmanship is not bad.
Meng Li was able to defeat Cao Jing, which was obviously impossible.
In fact, even Bai Ye was a little annoyed, secretly blaming Meng Li's bad luck, if he hadn't met the Seven Forgings, he would definitely have been able to pass the first level with his strength. At that time, he can also take the opportunity to slap Feng Yu in the face.
But this battle list is the result of a long time ago, and he can't help it.
What followed, however, was somewhat unexpected.
After Meng Li came to power, Cao Jing, who was supposed to come to power immediately, did not show up for a long time, and then there was news of abstention.
No one abstained without seeing it?
The crowd was in an uproar and began to discuss the matter, and then news came from nowhere, explaining the reason for Cao Jing's abstention.
It turned out that before the competition, Fairy Cao wanted to go to the toilet to solve his personal problems, but he didn't know which bear child threw a string of firecrackers into the pit, and Fairy Cao, who was halfway through the solution, was suddenly affected by the pond fish.
The famous Fairy Cao in Jieshui City was blown up with, which stunned everyone, and then someone spontaneously verified it, wanting to see is believing.
Sure enough, a mess was found in the latrine.
"What is this?"
Meng Li walked off the martial arts arena with tears and laughter, not knowing what to say. I held back for a long time, only holding back this sentence.
Du Mu stretched out his thumb and said, "A soldier who surrenders without a fight, Brother Meng is a good plan!"
Meng Li hurriedly explained: "You can't talk nonsense, this matter has nothing to do with me. I've been here all along, you know. β
Throwing firecrackers into the pit is too immoral, and it happened to be at the time when Cao Jing went in, it is hard to believe that someone is not doing it on purpose.
But he, the person who benefited the most, really didn't do anything!
Zhou Wei said: "Brother Meng Li doesn't need to be nervous, it was just Du Mu's joke just now." β
Have you ever seen a serious joke?
Meng Li couldn't help but smile bitterly, and listened to Zhou Wei say again: "Cao Jing has an extremely serious cleanliness habit, this matter will inevitably have a great impact on her, you are always right to be careful, if she jumps over the wall in a hurry and sprinkles her anger on you, you should be prepared." β
"What does it have to do with me when she goes to the toilet and gets?" Meng Li's eyes widened, feeling a little inexplicable.
Du Mu said: "But she went to the toilet to compete with you." β
"What do you mean, it's up to me?"
Zhou Wei explained: "This is Cao Jing's way of dealing with the world, you haven't been in contact with her, and it's understandable that you don't understand." β
Cao Jing's personality is, at best, too selfish, and at worst, unreasonable.
The fourth game begins.
However, the person who appeared on the stage was Han Fei, and what he was holding in his hand was the No. 7 note.
"Isn't Han Fei the twenty-eighth?
Seeing Han Fei, Meng Li's expression was particularly "wonderful".
just escaped a Cao Jing, and now there is another Han Fei, this is really a wave of unsettled.
"It seems that he has identified you!" Zhou Wei looked at Meng Li, his face full of doubt, what kind of grudge did he and Han Fei have that made the other party chase after him so relentlessly?
Meng Li's expression was solemn, because he knew that he was going to fight hard in the next competition.
Sure enough, this victory was won by Han Fei, and when he walked off the martial arts field, he also threw a provocative look at Meng Li.
I'm waiting for you!
From Han Fei's gaze, Meng Li read the determination, which made his heart sink as well.
Du Mu said in a deep voice: "This time it's troublesome!"
Zhou Wei said suddenly: "I said that the toilet was blown up for no reason, it turned out that Han Fei made a ghost!"
Blowing up the pit, forcing Cao Jing to retire, and then dealing with Meng Li, this reason makes sense.
"This Han Fei is really painstaking!" Miss Bu opened her eyes, turned her head to look at Meng Li, and found that the latter was walking in the other direction.
"Why are you going?"
"I'll leave for a while and I'll be back right away. β
Meng Li left everyone and did not go too far, but came to the location where Xiao Zicong and the snake boy were.
Xiao Zicong saw Meng Li coming from afar, and said in surprise: "Brother Meng doesn't go to prepare for the competition, how can he still have the leisure to wander around?"
"It was to deal with the next competition that I came here on purpose. Meng Li looked at the snake boy and said straight to the point: "I heard that the son has a spiritual food, called the Qi Replenishing Pill, which can quickly replenish the true qi, I want to buy one." β
"The original price is six hundred and eighty-eight, but now it's only four or eight eight, and I'll wipe it for you, how about charging you five hundred taels of silver?"
The snake boy is worthy of his love for money, and when he heard that there was a business coming to his door, he immediately raised his spirits.
I saw him take out a white porcelain bottle from his arms, hold it in his hand and shake it gently, and a crisp and pleasant jingle sound came out of the bottle.
Four hundred and eighty-eight, wipe a fraction, why is it five hundred?
You're not right!
Hearing this price, before Meng Li could make an expression, Xiao Zicong frowned first, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Snake, Meng Li is my friend, you give a real price." β
The snake boy pursed his mouth and said boringly: "That's okay, for Brother Xiao's sake, I'll give you another two hundred taels, and I'll say in advance, this is the lowest price, and I'm going to lose to death." β
"Are you still losing?" Xiao Zicong smiled dumbly.
The cost is only a few taels of silver, and you still feel a loss when you sell three hundred taels?
Just as Xiao Zicong was about to lower the price again, Meng Li immediately said: "Okay, it's three hundred taels!"
As soon as the words fell, he took out three silver coins of one hundred taels.
"Happy!"
The snake boy took the silver coin, handed the bottle containing the qi tonic pill to Meng Li, and chuckled: "How to use it, you shouldn't need me to teach you!"
"Just take it internally. Xiao Zicong sighed, looked at Meng Li's eyes with a hint of complaint, and said helplessly: "You kid, it's quite pleasant to pay." Cheap for nothing, the snake is condensing this vampire. β
The snake boy laughed and said: "The money and wealth are clear, and the child is not bullied!"
Meng Li opened the bottle, looked at the yellow and clear pills inside, and muttered, "It's okay, these three hundred taels are worth it." β
Passing on the martial arts assessment, there is a death quota.
Han Fei tried his best, and even did not hesitate to design Cao Jing, in order to not just teach himself a lesson.
He's going to use this death quota to get rid of himself!
Han Fei was targeted everywhere before, and Meng Li could turn a blind eye, after all, brotherhood is deep, and he slaughtered other people's brothers, and it is strange that people don't trouble him.
But now it's different, Han Fei has to fight with him, if he doesn't prepare some desperate means, it is likely that he will die.
Compared to those Seven Forging Martial Artists, Meng Li's only disadvantage now is the endurance of True Qi, this Qi Replenishing Pill is used well, and it can save his life at a critical moment.
When Meng Li went back, the battle had already reached the fifth game, and on the competition platform, Bu Yu and Mingxuan came and went, and the two fed each other, and the fight was inseparable.
"What's going on?
Meng Li was stunned when he saw the battle taking place on the stage.
Can it be faked any more?
Just this fist embroidered legs, is it really a fool for the audience?
Finally, after all the hard work, Ming Xuan narrowly defeated Bu Yu with one move.
looked at Ming Xuan, who was depressed after seeing the victory, and then looked at Bu Yu, who was complacent after the defeat, everyone really couldn't tell who was the winner between the two of them.
The hoarfrost in the stands, seeing this scene, showed a smile on his face.
"This little girl is good, I like it very much, and Xuan'er is also matched!"
Kindness?
Ming Fan and his wife, who were sitting next to Bai Shuang, heard this sentence as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Brother and sister, what do you mean by this?" Du Erniang asked stubbornly after Ming Fan's eyes signaled.
Bai Shuang was stunned and said, "Second sister, can't you see it?" Mingxuan is interested in that little girl?"
Du Erniang exclaimed, "He, how is this possible?"
Bai Shuang smiled: "Nothing can't be, I can't be wrong about this." Although our Xuan'er knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, she will not be so humble to a woman, and being able to accompany the other party to act in front of everyone is enough to explain the problem. β
"Is that really the case?"
Hearing Bai Shuang say this, Du Erniang seemed to be happy, and her tone was full of doubts.
Bai Shuang said: "If you want me to say, Xuan'er is not small, and it has reached the point where it is time to talk about marriage." β
"That's right, but I don't know if that girl is a good match, after all, we don't know anything about other people. β
Du Erniang nodded, she was so moved!
When Ming Fan saw this scene, he shouted that it was not good, and quickly coughed, and said embarrassedly: "Hehe, let them decide their own affairs, and we old guys should not interfere." β
Bai Shuang said disapprerovingly: "A bunch of young people who have never experienced fart, what can they understand is good and what is bad?
Seeing that the smiles of Ming Fan and his wife became more and more bitter, Bai Shuang suddenly became tasteless, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you can do whatever you like!"
Even if the child can't walk anymore, he must let him walk on his own, and only by planting a heel can he learn how to walk.
Growing up always has to go through bitterness.
Mingxuan is very bitter now, and even has a feeling of self-esteem, and he doesn't know how to face everyone.
Du Mu, who has always been the most venomous, did not open his mouth this time, but raised his thumb and looked at Ming Xuan with admiration.
Zhou Wei and Meng Li, one was afraid of Ming Xuan's embarrassment, and the other was afraid of Bu Yu's expansion, so they chose to be silent at the same time.
The competition continued, and soon, the first round was over. Except for Cao Jing, who had an accident and took the initiative to abstain, the other seven martial artists all advanced.
There was no time for everyone to adjust, and the second round of the competition began immediately.
Zhou Wei played first, without any accidents, and easily obtained the first martial arts order.
When Zhou Wei and another person walked off the competition stage, Han Fei, who couldn't wait under the stage, rushed to the ring as soon as possible. Pointing at Meng Li, he said: "Meng Li, if you have a kind, you will fight with me here today!"
Han Fei's murderous appearance caused an uproar among everyone, and when they saw Meng Li, who was being pointed at, they all showed a look of pity.
This young man, who has only exercised his body five times, is sure to die today!
Feng Yu suddenly laughed when he saw this scene.
"Hakuya, this is the person you have your eye on? I think he'll soon be a corpse. β
Shiro also looked at all this, but was silent and did not speak.
Of course, he didn't think that Meng Li could beat Han Fei, but the choice at this time was no longer in his hands, but in Meng Li's own hands.
It's up to you to live or die, to retreat or to move forward.
Meng Li is not a person who will back down, he has only one choice from beginning to end, move forward, keep moving forward.
In the face of Han Fei's provocation, Meng Li did not hesitate and stepped onto the competition platform.
"You're going to die today!" Han Fei looked at Meng Li, who was close at hand, and showed a bloodthirsty sneer.
Today, there will be no one here to stop him.
