The torch is like a dragon, the flag is flying, and the winged money pattern shines brightly under the torch, and with the flag blowing, it seems to really flutter its wings and fly.

After more than a dozen ships lined up from the V-shape, the huge Qiankun gambling boat also cleaved the waves, sailed to the center of the boats, and there was a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman standing on the head of the dragon's head, which was Zhang Yiqing, the treasurer of the Qiankun gambling boat.

Zhang Qiqing's hands full of wrenches were clenched into fists, and he made a four-way greeting with a smile on his face, and said loudly: "Immortal Buddhas, friends, in the next Zhang Qiqing, one of the treasurers of the Linglong Pavilion, greetings to you!"

Zhang Yiqing's voice is not loud or small, but it clearly spreads throughout the port, the port that is still empty, has gathered hundreds of people in a blink of an eye, there are monks and monks in the crowd, there are also vulgar, different dresses, different temperaments, but all of them have extraordinary cultivation. Hundreds of masters gathered together, and the mysterious qi on their bodies condensed into a stream, which directly dispersed the clouds above their heads, and the bright moonlight sprinkled all over Luoshui through the clouds. It's just that the barriers between Buddhism and Taoism are clear, and there is a bit of gunpowder.

Zhang Yiqing is a businessman, pays attention to harmony and wealth, travels extensively, and has many of his friends in the port, at this time he shouted and quipped: "I haven't seen you for a while, and the shopkeeper Zhang is rich again, but he is getting richer and more unkind, your gambling boat is becoming more and more magnificent, but you only care about the comfort of your own boat, and leave me to wait in this port to drink the wind?"

Zhang Yiqing said with a smile: "Haha, you friends have nothing to do if you want to get on the ship, but businessmen pay attention to a brother and settle accounts, this ship fare is indispensable, pills, magic weapons, money, as long as you are willing to take out your hands, I have a place on this ship for you." ”

"You are really in the eyes of money, I am waiting to come to see the Buddhist and Taoist Conference, what are you doing on your boat? Recruit some flower girl powder to accompany the wine, and then spend a lot of money? If you don't come down and set up a ring, I can't wait!"

Zhang Yiqing showed a smug smile and said: "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, if you want to see the Buddha and Taoism Conference comfortably, I'm afraid that you will really get on my thief ship, because this ring is not on the port, but-" Zhang Yiqing compared his hand to the back, and continued: "On the water." ”

The crowd looked in the direction he gestured. I saw that in the middle of the river, under the cover of misty water vapor, there were six big ships, three in the east and three in the west. 100 meters apart, side by side confrontation distribution, and the ship and the ship are connected by wrist-thick iron chains, hundreds of chains are densely arranged, actually set up a ring on the water.

Via ferrata. Zhang Xiqing took the opportunity to shout: "Friends, the night is dark and the wind is urgent, and the ring is in the middle of the river, if you look at it on the shore, you can't see the details, and it's not easy enough to watch it in the water and wind, you can take my boat, one price per person, first come, first served." There is wine and food on the boat, and you can take it at will, and the children are not deceived!"

When Xie Lingyan heard this, he laughed and said, "The shopkeeper of this Linglong Treasure Pavilion is really good at making money, and he can come up with such a way to make money." ”

Shang Ying said with a smile: "Isn't it, no one wanted to be the east in the past of this Buddhist and Taoist Conference, but after being stopped by this Linglong Pavilion, they all made a profit." ”

Miao Miao pouted and said, "It's really a profiteer, master, this competition is presided over by them, can you really rest assured?"

Shang Ying said: "You are willing to buy and sell." Moreover, businessmen have always valued credibility, and the Linglong Pavilion has presided over the Buddhist and Taoist conferences. He has always been impartial and fair, and both Buddhism and Taoism are also at ease. ”

At this time, someone on the port had already moved, scolding: "Zhang Yiqing, your temperament of plucking goose is really unchanged at all, but in order to blackmail us, you specially waded in the ring on the water." It's too inauthentic, isn't it?"

Zhang Yiqing still smiled and said: "This friend is mistaken, it's not that Zhang is deliberately slandering, it's just that this year's rules are different, and you need to compare them on the river to see the fun." ”

The Buddhist and Taoist Conference is different from the Dharma every year, and everyone is curious in their hearts, and they can't help asking: "Don't sell it, let's talk about how to compare this year!"

Zhang Yiqing cleared his throat and said, "As you all know, the Buddhist and Taoist Conference was originally to discuss the Taoist dialectic, and the masters and Taoists who are proficient in Buddhism and Taoism personally talked about the Dharma and the mysteries, which can be described as priceless.

The people below are secretly funny, although the Buddhism Conference was originally a literary dispute, but a few old people boast empty talk, maybe some people pay attention to it, but most people are drowsy to listen to it, how can they see young people are happier than fighting, so the status of martial arts has long surpassed that of literary contention, and has become the focus of attention.

Sure enough, Zhang Xiqing opened his eyes and said: "It's a pity that the mountains and rivers are high and low, and we don't have enough knowledge, so it's always difficult to understand the true meaning of the Buddhist masters, let alone judge their superiority, so this time I will change the comparison and do a martial arts fight, and the victory and defeat are clear at a glance." ”

Someone at the bottom immediately doubted: "The civil and martial arts fights are very different, how can they be merged into one?"

Zhang Qiqing showed off and said, "Everyone, watch me demonstrate." Anyway, throw a sub-like thing into the water, the next moment, the water surface surges, as if the branches sprout, slowly grow out of a tree-like water column, Zhang is used to a little clear, has been sitting on the water tree, and the water tree grows high to more than ten meters from the water surface before stopping to grow, and the branches open, actually blooming a crystal clear water splash, clear water splash and the moonlight into one. It turned out to be a strange scene of the same day as the water and the moon.

"Is this, the water tree silver flower?" someone immediately said in surprise. Water tree honeysuckle is a rare flower, the flower seed into the water, it can be shaped according to the water, give birth to a beautiful and moving water-shaped flower tree, and the flower tree is not only beautiful, but also purify the water quality, the original toxic miasma in the water is dispersed, if you go to the south of the miasma land, a small seed may be able to save a life.

Beautiful things can't last long, and the same is true for water trees and silver flowers, but the flowers and trees that should be short-lived have not dissipated for a long time. But he was even more puzzled, and said: "Shopkeeper Zhang, you don't show your skills, what is the use of this flower, you can intercede once." ”

Zhang Yiqing said: "Everyone can see that this water tree and silver flower can be maintained by mental strength, as long as the heart is not disturbed, the flower tree will not be scattered." Those who will discuss the Fa will all take pills, limit their skills to the same level, and then sit on the flower tree to debate the Fa, once they are said to be at the key point during the debate, and the heart will be flustered, and the flowers and trees will naturally collapse when the heart is flustered, so it will be clear who wins and who loses?"

"But this slow, when will it be, if both sides are not upset, won't there be no end?"

Zhang Yiqing shook his head and said: "Therefore, it is necessary to cooperate in the two civil and military games, plant three water trees on each side of the ring, the literary contestant is on the tree, the martial artist is in the ring, the literary contestant is scattered, and the martial artist is unable to fight again or fall out of the ring and lose." The civil and military sides let one side lose completely, and the fight will be over. ”

There are also smart people at the bottom, and they immediately pondered and said: "If the civil and military forces do a game, that means that the martial fighters can also attack the opponent's literary contestants?"

Zhang Xiqing responded: "Yes, this adds a tactical arrangement to the competition, the martial artist must not only take on the test of cultivation, but also take on the duty of guarding, is it a person who sticks to his own dialectic, expecting the winner to be separated from the contest first, or, actively attacking the opponent's dialectic to destroy their flowers and trees, or trying to disturb the opponent's mind, or go all out on the martial arts, the combination of the two is not only to discuss the dialectic, but also to compete for the ability, isn't it much more interesting than the two separate competitions?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes were bright, and they couldn't help but admire the creativity of Linglong Pavilion, and after a while, someone said: "Good Zhang Xiqing, it's really a little interesting, I'm being cheated by you again today, that's it, I'll leave a bottle of Dan, leave me a seat!"

"I'll take out a green jade sword, and let me get on the boat!"

"I'm out of a pair of mandarin ducks and jade!" "I'm out of ......" as Zhang Yiqing said, this competition is really novel and interesting, which makes people interested, but it is not clear to stay on the shore, if you use some means of treading water and flying into the air, one is that many people who are not enough to cultivate can not do it, and second, the water invades and blows, and it consumes true qi, which is far less comfortable to watch on the boat. The fare of the ship was not too expensive, so all the cultivators rushed to get on the ship, and in the blink of an eye, there were already two search boats full of people.

Xie Lingyan's family background is solid, and he doesn't take the small boat fare in his eyes, and said at this moment: "Master, do we have to get on the boat first, otherwise the position will be snatched up." ”

Before Shang Ying could answer, she heard Zhang Yiqing look at her, pointed to the largest Qiankun gambling ship behind her, and said: "This is the martial artist of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, Xie Nuxia, right? Don't worry, the location of this Qiankun gambling ship is not for sale, it is only available to the contestants and the people who come with it, and I have already left a place for you on the ship." ”

When Xie Lingyan heard this, he smiled and said, "Thank you shopkeeper, it turns out that you haven't plucked the goose as I imagined." After that, he pulled Shang Ying and Miao Miao, and urged Ming Ye to get on the boat together.

Zhang Xiqing couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Xie Nuxia has won the award, Zhang is ten times more than a philistine, and it is impossible not to let the competition go to the ring for the sake of the ship's fare." ”

"Then, in Xia Ji Fengming, I also have to thank the shopkeeper Zhang for his generosity with my junior sister. As soon as the words fell, I heard a clear phoenix chirping, and a magnificent fire phoenix gracefully crossed the air, attracting everyone's attention.

When the fire phoenix flew over the gambling boat, it suddenly dispersed into countless small flames and scattered in all directions, like fireworks that covered the entire night sky, and in the center of the fireworks, two figures, a man and a woman, fell.

The woman has a beautiful posture, a slender posture, and a red umbrella in her hand, just like a girl waiting for her lover with an umbrella in the hope of the West Lake.

Although the young man's appearance is not very handsome, he is also quite attractive, and the corners of his mouth are hooked, looking very sunny and confident, and at this time, his wrist shakes, and he knocks a "Dao fan" in the palm of his hand until it is closed. (To be continued.) )
