2. Zhenwu Conference

On the way, Wang Xue asked the origin of the four people, and it turned out that the immature boy's name was Wu Tian, the girl's name was Bu Ziyi, and Li Hao and Zhang Guanhua were all members of the Haba sect.

Wang Xueqi said: "What kind of sect is this, I have never heard of it, who is your leader?" Bu Ziyi sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "We are not in charge." Wang Xue was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There is no master, this is really interesting." Why didn't you tell me earlier?" This second sentence was said to Li Hao. Li Hao thought to himself: "Why should I tell you?" but seeing Wang Xue's eyes rolling around, he was obviously extremely curious, so he said: "Our old head has been dead for three years. Originally, his eldest disciple Xiao Yuansheng was superb in martial arts and talented, and in recent years, he has paid special attention to internal force cultivation, and his skills have made great progress, and he is the only person who inherits the mantle of the head. However, this senior brother was arrogant by nature, and he was finally expelled from the door by the head of the family. The second senior brother has an introverted personality and profound skills, but he has traveled all over the world for many years and rarely waited by the side of the head, and he did not succeed him as the new head until the head passed away. The qualifications of the other juniors and disciples are mediocre, and they can't take on the important responsibility of teaching. Well, Habhamon was dissolved. Now everyone is running their own way, and they have long disappeared. Wang Xue secretly regretted when she heard this: "I didn't expect that your sect still had such a family scandal, I wouldn't have asked if I knew it." But thinking that Li Hao even told the truth about such an ugly thing, he really didn't treat himself as an outsider, and he was happy in his heart.

By this time they had left the town and were walking on a dark mountain road in the woods. This small mountain road is winding, hidden and difficult to walk, and there are many branches growing in the trees on both sides to block the road, but everyone except Wang Xue is used to this path, it is really like walking on the ground, although Li Hao and Wu Tian helped Zhang Guanhua, who was seriously injured and unconscious, they also walked like flying. Bu Ziyi walked at the end with Wang Xue in her arms, and she was not left behind.

Li Hao said: "I grew up in the mountains, familiar with the plants on the mountain, Bu Ziyi is from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, everyone discussed, and decided to come here to live, in the mountains to collect medicine for a living." Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and said, "We have arrived, and you are welcome to our home, which we call - paradise." ”

Wang Xue looked in the direction of Li Hao's finger, and saw three or five exquisite thatched huts at the foot of the mountain in front of him, there were no trees around the thatched huts, only wild flowers and grass, and those colorful flowers were shining in the dim starlight, which really felt a bit of paradise.

The crowd walked into the thatched hut. Li Hao helped Zhang Guanhua on the bed, found a handkerchief to wipe his wounds, and smashed a few herbs to put on him. Bu Ziyi took Wang Xue back to the room to change into clean clothes, and applied herbs to the wound on her back, and when Wang Xue changed her clothes, she went to see Zhang Guanhua with her. I saw Zhang Guanhua lying on the bed in a coma. Bu Ziyi said worriedly: "If he wants to fully recover, he will have to wait another three or five days, and he will not be able to participate in tomorrow's Zhenwu Conference." Wu Tiandao: "Can't we just go tomorrow, I don't think we can lose." Li Hao sighed: "How important is the Zhenwu Conference, every year the Zhenwu Sect will send twenty or thirty people to help. There are only three people on our side, and we will lose first in terms of momentum, and whether we can be the best in kung fu is another matter......" Before he finished speaking, his eyes unconsciously met Wang Xue, and suddenly his heart moved, why not let Wang Xue go to help in tomorrow's game? The Habamen faction only pays attention to the concept of moves and internal strength, but they look very lightly at the entry, have good conduct, are obsessed with martial arts, and are popular with everyone can become a member of Habamen. Wang Xue joined Bahamen, and it is okay to play tomorrow as a substitute for Zhang Guanhua.

Wang Xue saw that Zhang Guanhua's injuries were no longer serious, so she was worried about her mother's safety, and she didn't pay attention to the words of Li Hao and others. Bu Ziyi saw Wang Xue's depressed expression, and knew that she had been tired for a long time, so she said: "Wang Xue, we have a vacant house, but we haven't cleaned it in a hurry, you can sleep in the same room with me tonight, there is another idle straw mat in my room." With that, he stood up and wanted to take Wang Xue back to the room to rest.

Li Hao got up and stopped Bu Ziyi, and said, "Wang Xue, you said before that you will come to see our game tomorrow." Now I want you to replace Zhang Guanhua, from watching the excitement to fighting, are you willing?" Wu Tianbu Ziyi heard Li Hao say this, and felt a slight surprise in his heart, Wu Bu and the others didn't know that although Wang Xue was thin, he was good at fighting. Li Hao turned to the two of him and said, "Wang Xue's fists and feet are definitely not under Zhang Guanhua, I have seen it with my own eyes." She is simple-minded and kind-hearted, and if our master were here, he would definitely like her. Bu Ziyi was overjoyed when she heard this, stretched out her hand to hug Wang Xue, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be a master, little sister, I really underestimated you." It would be great to have your help tomorrow!" Wu Tian also had a happy face. Wang Xuexin said: "My mother is now captive and her safety is unpredictable, if you don't help find a way to save my mother, how can you still hold on to my words and let me help you go to the game?" Li Hao looked at his appearance, and said: "You have learned the group of people who raided us today, even if we find them, we can't beat them." Tomorrow we might as well concentrate on the game, and also give Guanhua a day to recover his body, at the Zhenwu Conference, our second senior brother will definitely come, we ask him to help, and together there is a way to save your mother. Bu Ziyi smiled: "Yes, our senior brother's skills are much higher than ours, and with him helping us, we must be able to save your mother." Although Wang Xue was extremely worried about her mother, she thought that what they said was really good, so she nodded reluctantly.

That night, everyone slept beautifully and nourished their spirits. Early the next morning, he set off for the Zhenwu Conference. The venue was on the west side of the town, and the distance was not too far, and when everyone took Wang Xue for a short time, they came to a large empty meadow, and saw that the center of the meadow had three simple rings with wooden stakes, straw ropes, straw mats, etc., and there was nothing else, and the nearest family was also a mile away. Wang Xue thought to herself: "This is the venue of the Zhenwu Conference, but it is much more simple than I imagined." Li Hao sat down cross-legged on the grass not far from the middle ring, and Wu Tianbu Ziyi also sat down slowly. Wang Xue was participating for the first time, she was nervous and excited, and a little nervous, pacing back and forth around Li Hao and others, but she couldn't bear to sit down. At this time, many people came one after another, all in groups, as few as three or five people, as many as a dozen people, some found a piece of grass to sit down and chat, and some practiced boxing to warm up. The venue gradually became lively. Occasionally, a few acquaintances have met Li Hao and others, but they only smiled and nodded, and did not wave.

Bu Ziyi suddenly got up, raised her hand and pointed into the distance, and said loudly: "Senior brother is here!" She was excited, and her voice trembled. Li Hao and Wu Tian got up one after another. Wang Xue glanced in the direction of Bu Ziyi's finger, and saw a young man of medium stature walking briskly. Wang Xue thought to herself: "He is the second senior brother, he is really young, not a few years older than Li Hao and Zhang Guanhua." I thought he would be a middle-aged uncle. When he walked in, Wang Xue noticed that he had a beautiful face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his figure was similar to Li Hao, but he was slightly stronger than Li Hao.

Li Hao Buziyi Wu Tianqi shouted: "Senior brother." The young man nodded and smiled, "Hello everyone, long time no see." Li Hao dragged Wang Xue's arm to the young man and said with a smile: "Senior brother, her name is Wang Xue." The young man was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Oh, new partner, hello." As he spoke, he saluted Wang Xue. Wang Xue didn't expect this senior brother to be so enthusiastic, so she hurriedly returned the salute in a daze, saying, "Hello senior brother." ”

At this time, another group of people came, the number of this group of people was extremely large, at least twenty or thirty, more than the people from other sects, led by a middle-aged man with a short figure, beckoning gently to Li Hao's side. The senior brother said, "I'll go say hello to my friend." As he spoke, he walked over to the middle-aged man.

Wang Xue waited for him to go away, and quietly asked Li Hao: "What is your senior brother's name?" Li Hao didn't wait for an answer, Wu Tian smiled and preemptively said, "His name is Liu Yue." ”

Li Hao pointed in the direction of Liu Yue and said, "A group of people over there are Zhenwu Sect, and the person who is talking to Senior Brother Liu is their leader." Wang Xue exclaimed: "Are there so many of them participating in the competition, even if they can't beat me to death when they take turns, they will be tired to death." Bu Ziyi smiled: "No." The congress stipulated that no more than five people from each sect were allowed to enter the ring. Although there were many of them, most of them just came to join in the fun and exaggerate the momentum, maybe there were many of them who had never practiced martial arts for even a day. When Wang Xue heard this, she couldn't help but smile. Bu Ziyi said again: "Most of the people who came today are not people who have lived in our town for a long time, they are from other counties and towns, just for this competition, and when today is over, they will all return to their hometowns one after another." ”

At this time, a person who looked like a host came and asked, "Which faction are you from, and how many people are competing?" Li Hao said: "We are from Habamen, and the four of us are competing." The host hummed, asked the names of the four of them, took out a pen and paper and hurriedly wrote it down, and left. Wang Xue asked, "It's just the four of us?" Senior Brother Liu didn't make a move?" Bu Ziyi smiled: "How can Senior Brother Liu make a move, he is a master of fame, and he makes people laugh at will." He has only come today to visit us. Wang Xue thought to herself: "Is it a master of fame, I have never heard of his name." ”

At this time, one of the three rings walked up to the host, took out the list and shouted by name, and the person whose name was called walked up to the ring and began to compete. Wang Xue knew at this time that the Zhenwu Conference was won in accordance with the traditional way of attacking and defending, and the ring and opponents of the competition were decided by those hosts at will, but when deciding the opponents, people from the same sect would be avoided as much as possible in order to seek justice. When she was a child, she had seen her father and mother participate in the ring many times, and she was no stranger to her.

The fight between the warriors in the three rings was very fierce, and in a short time more than a dozen people were knocked off the stage one after another, some of them were knocked down as soon as they came to the stage, and some of them won one or two battles after they came to the stage, but they were beaten down by the later attackers due to lack of physical strength. The onlookers in the audience shouted endlessly. Wang Xue and the others had already scattered at this time, standing in different places to watch the game. Wang Xue stood beside the ring on the west side, thinking: "The later the stage of such a ring match, the greater the advantage, God willing, let those hosts call my name as late as possible!" But seeing that although the two martial artists in the ring fought very fiercely, their fists and feet were not in order at all, and there were flaws in the boss, and it was expected that there were no real masters among this group of martial artists, so I felt a little relieved.

Suddenly, I heard the host in the middle ring shouting: "Is Wu Tian here, Wu Tian, it's time for you to go on stage!" Wang Xue was shocked, and hurriedly went to the middle ring to watch the battle. Seeing a young man in the ring covered in sweat and panting, it was obvious that he had just gone through a huge fight, Wang Xue thought to himself: "This person has long been physically exhausted, and Wu Tian seems to be not weak in kung fu, if you want to win this person, it should be very easy." But I heard the host shouting: "What about Wu Tianren, have you abstained? Why haven't you come yet?" Wang Xue was startled and shouted: "He didn't abstain, I'll go to him!" Bu Ziyi also heard this shout under the ring opposite, and hurriedly shouted to the host: "Wu Tian will come soon!" The two of them were anxious, they didn't know why Wu Tian suddenly disappeared, he was watching from the audience just now. In the end, Li Hao found Wu Tian on a grass far away from the ring, only to see him lying in the long grass, holding a copy of "Xiaolin Guangji" in both hands and reading it with taste, and turned a deaf ear to everything in the ring. Li Hao was furious, snatched the book from Wu Tian's hand, and shouted: "It's your turn to come to the stage, you ...... This ......" couldn't think of any words to use to scold him for a while. Wu Tianzheng was enjoying it, and suddenly the book was snatched away, and he was in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "Give me a while longer, I will go to the ring after reading this paragraph." Li Hao ignored his words, and seeing that he still didn't get up, he simply dragged his collar to the ring. Everyone in the audience felt funny when they saw it, how could anyone lie down first before they got on stage to compete?

The host saw Wu Tian coming to the stage and waved his hand to signal the game to begin. Wu Tian and the young opponent saluted each other. After the opponent finished saluting, he suddenly bent down and straightened his chest, and rushed to Wu Tian in just one step, and swung his fist to attack Wu Tian's eyes. Wu Tian neither dodged nor resisted, and when the opponent's fist was still a few inches away from the tip of his nose, he suddenly shouted: "Stop!" The opponent was startled, hurriedly retracted his momentum, and said: "What?" Wu Tian slowly took out a thick storybook from his arms, threw it to Li Hao under the ring, and then said loudly: "Okay, let's start." The opponent was furious, and thought to himself: "This is the time to win the competition, but all you care about is the storybook, is my kung fu really so worthless in front of you?" Wu Tian's body shook slightly, and he had flashed to the right side of the man. The man missed the blow, immediately raised his right elbow, and his right fist attacked Wu Tian's chest, but he only attacked but could not defend in his moves. Wu Tian saw the opportunity quickly, squatted down violently to avoid it, and when the man's right fist was not withdrawn, his body suddenly leaned forward and crashed into the man's calf. The man's calf hurt, and his body involuntarily fell backwards. Among the onlookers, except for a few brothers and sisters of the man who fell to the ground, the rest of the crowd applauded in unison. After the man fell to the ground, he was anxious to get up, but it was too late, Wu Tian had already pounced, crushed him under him, and hammered him in the face with both fists. At this time, the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides have been very obvious, Wu Tian is riding on that person head-on, his fists are constantly smashing downward, it is still difficult for that person to guard the front door, how can he fight back?

Wang Xue was relieved to see Wu Tian suppressing his opponent so easily, and thought to himself: "Unless God sends immortals to help you now, you will definitely be defeated by Wu Tian." Habamen's martial arts are unique, and I dare not underestimate them anymore. The two people around him were very anxious, and kept shouting: "Hit him Brother Yang!" Brother Yang insisted. "I think the two of them are friends who came to the jousting with that man.

The rise of Wu Tianzheng's attack, ignoring everything around him, suddenly heard someone in the audience call the opponent "Brother Yang", and a flash of inspiration came to his mind, remembering that "Xiaolin Guangji" wrote: A person asked: "Xianggongzun's surname?" said: "The surname is Yang." The man said, "Since it is a sheep, why does it have no horns?" The man said angrily, "The dumb dog goes in and out!" The man misunderstood his meaning and said, "Ga!" He was overjoyed and couldn't help laughing. When he smiled, his body immediately unloaded, and the opponent surnamed Yang suddenly saw that Wu Tian had no strength on his body, so he immediately got up from the bridge and turned over, pressing Wu Tian under him. Among the onlookers, except for Li Hao, who had already guessed fifty or sixty percent, the others were all dumbfounded when they saw that Wu Tian had lost the opportunity to win because of his sudden laughter. Wang Xue looked at Wu Tian in a daze, and thought, "Could it be that God really sent someone?"

Wu Tian already knew that the situation was not good at this time, he stopped laughing, and rolled on the ground several times, trying to take the throne and take it, but he failed because of his weakness. Li Hao saw that Wu Tian's several counterattacks were only one step away from success, and he felt a pity in his heart. It is said that the first head of Habamen was short in stature, and often suffered from fights, so he painstakingly figured out a set of ground grappling techniques suitable for people of short stature. If you want to be proficient in this technique, the cultivation of internal strength and physical fitness are important, but the more important thing is the proficiency of moves. Although this technique may not be regarded as the most powerful fighting technique, it is undoubtedly the fairest fighting technique, whether it is male or female, young and old, and no matter how big the disparity in strength is, as long as you are willing to study hard and practice hard, you can eventually become a master all the way.

At that time, outsiders mostly called this set of martial arts Haba Shu, and later generations generally called it Jiu-Jitsu. Wu Tian has been in the house for more than two years, and he has lost the door of Haba Technique at the beginning, but at this time, he was pressed under his opponent and couldn't move, and he was tired because of the strength of laughing before, although he tried his best not to laugh at this time, but his body was shaking spontaneously.

When the host on the stage saw Wu Tian's appearance, he only thought that he had epilepsy and relapsed at this time, where could he have thought that he had seen too many jokes! He thought that if he continued to fight, Wu Tian would be seriously injured if he did not die, so he immediately stepped forward, waved his hand and shouted: "Stop!" The opponent surnamed Yang immediately stopped and got up, and Wu Tian also got up immediately, and the two of them were sweating profusely and panting very quickly. During the host, it was announced that the opponent surnamed Yang won. According to the rules, in order to prevent serious injury, the host can terminate the duel according to the condition of the tournament and decide that one of them wins. Although Wu Tian was wronged by losing, he was helpless. What's more, everyone's hearts are bright, it is only a matter of time before Wu Tian loses this competition, and it is absolutely impossible to win. Wang Xue sighed in her heart, although she and Wu Tian have not known each other for a long time, but after all, they are her companions, and she sincerely hopes that Wu Tian can win. Bu Ziyi lowered her head even more hatefully, without saying a word, but when she saw Wu Tian walking out of the ring dejectedly, she cheered up and walked over to comfort him. Li Hao saw Wu Tian lose the game so absurdly, but he just sighed in anger, shook the joke book in his hand fiercely, and said in his heart: "From today on, if I let you take a look at "Xiaolin Guangji" again, I will have your surname, and Li Hao will change his name to Wu Hao from now on!"
