Chapter 38: The Lion Dance Takes the Treasure

The next day, before dawn, the vicinity of the lion dance stage was already crowded with people. The conference was still half an hour away, and everyone was inexplicably excited. In front of the Mo Ye Pagoda, the top ten wealthy businessmen were already seated, but the alliance leader Han Lingfeng was still absent.

Although Meng Chuanqing and the others got up early, they were still late, and seeing that they couldn't squeeze in, he had to play some small tricks to bring a few people closer to the lion dance platform. When he saw that Long Gongzi was also sitting on the seat of the top ten wealthy businessmen, he was shocked: with his speed of making money, it would be difficult not to become a rich businessman, but if he was the one who asked the question, would he take the opportunity to embarrass himself?

That Long Gongzi also seemed to see Meng Chuanqing, and showed a wicked smile, which immediately made Meng Chuanqing's heart chill. But then, he smiled calmly again, it doesn't matter, see what he can do with me!

Yan Shangci held his hand tightly and said, "Teaser, you must listen to me, in times of danger, you must not be reckless, and you must not let yourself be hurt." ”

Meng Chuanqing deliberately asked, "What if I don't listen?"

Yan Shangci pinched him fiercely, and when he saw him showing a painful expression, he let go of his hand with satisfaction, and said, "Then I will go on stage, and then... Do you know what's going to happen next?" she smiled mischievously.

Meng Chuanqing remembered that Shang Yuluo had told him that those who came to power without being named would become public enemies of martial arts if they did not apologize to the Jianghu people with three rings. He was so frightened that he quickly surrendered, "Don't, don't go on stage, I'll listen to you." He glared at the group behind him again, "And you, no one is allowed to go on stage!" He didn't want anyone around him to lose face or become a public enemy of martial arts.

The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent with a low roar, and Han Lingfeng had already sat in his seat at some point, and behind him stood Mr. Mai and Han Zhiji. Han Lingfeng cleared his throat, secretly used his internal strength, and raised his voice: "I announce that the Mo Evil Conference has officially begun. All participants are asked to step forward and get ready. ”

There was another commotion in the crowd, and some people came out of it and stepped forward. Meng Chuanqing let go of Yan Shangci's hand and signaled with her eyes that she didn't have to worry.

"Second cousin... You be careful. Sang Youwu bit his lip and said.

Meng Chuanqing glanced at everyone, then looked up at the frame on the top of the lotus platform, and said with a smile: "If you want any treasures, I will snatch them all for you." "The frame was covered with red ropes, and on each red rope was a priceless treasure, swaying in the wind and piercing everyone's eyes.

Yan Shangci said: "I don't want anything, as long as you, you are my priceless treasure." ”

Sang You said worriedly: "I don't want any treasures, as long as you are safe and sound." ”

Wheat and Sang Jun also said in unison: "We don't want it either!" Everyone hopes that he is safe and sound, and the treasure is nothing.

Meng Chuanqing understood and said, "Okay, you wait, I will come back safe and sound." He squeezed forward and stood with the rest of the participants.

Meng Chuanqing counted the people around him, and he just had fifteen. Among them were two young women, a handsome woman, three middle-aged men who looked to be in their thirties and forties, and an old man in his sixties, all of whom were not much older than themselves. Meng Chuanqing saw that there was no Lao Tian among these people, and unconsciously glanced at the Mo Ye Tower, and was a little confused in his heart, was there something delayed or did she give up? Just thinking about it, he heard someone in the crowd talking about the old man beside him.

"Then Old Man Huo is so old, and he still wants to win the treasure?"

"I heard that this is the fourth time he has participated in the Mo Evil Conference, and he hasn't grabbed any treasures in the first three times. Old man Huo was very stubborn and refused to admit defeat, but he didn't expect to come again..."

"This time he must have returned empty-handed, and he doesn't want to think about how old he is, the blue is better than the blue, how can those late-born juniors be so easy to deal with?"

Meng Chuanqing couldn't help but glance at Huo Yanzhou beside him twice, his hair was already half-white, his face was wrinkled, and his complexion was not good. He clenched his fists, deaf to the talk of those behind him, and couldn't help but feel some sympathy for him in his heart. Maybe he has this one dream in his life, as long as he wins a treasure at the conference, he will be satisfied in this life.

At this time, Xue Li, one of the top ten wealthy businessmen, stood up from his seat and said loudly: "There are three levels in the competition. Let me announce the rules of the first level. There are 16 participants in this level, in teams of two from left to right. The one who wins can move on to the next level, and the one who loses is eliminated. Now give the first group the stage. ”

The two middle-aged men on the far left glanced at each other and jumped onto the lion dance stage. Han Lingfeng looked at the two of them, "Please sign up for your own number." ”

"In Xia Feng I, nicknamed Fenglisha, please advise. ”

"Well said, well said, in the lower Monchi. ”

After the two of them signed up, everyone in the audience sighed for no other reason, these two people are hidden heroes.

Han Lingfeng smiled, looked at the top ten wealthy businessmen, and motioned for them to ask questions.

Gao Lou, who is a pawnshop business, stood up and said: "The rules of this level are very simple: you must hold on to the same pillar, as long as you capture the three treasures shot down by the alliance leader with a flying knife, the more will win, and whoever lands will lose." Now, please choose a pillar of your own. ”

Meng Chuanqing couldn't help but admire them a little when he saw that the other party was so problematic, the simplicity and difficulty of this question all lie in the alliance leader. If he shoots down the treasure above the pillar chosen by the two of them, this problem seems very simple, but if the alliance leader shoots the treasure on the opposite side of the pillar they choose, it must be a problem. Because the four pillars were all separated by nets, it was impossible for these two people to cross the net and cross the line to seize the treasure.

The two of them chose the pillar due south and tied it to it at the same time. Han Lingfeng picked up the flying knife on the table and shot at the treasure above them. The throwing knife was impartial, and it just shot on a red rope and sped away. The red rope broke, and a worn-out martial arts secret book slowly fell down.

Han Lingfeng revealed this flying knife stunt, which attracted a burst of applause from the crowd, but I don't know how many times he practiced behind his back. Meng Chuanqing naturally didn't take this little bit of ability in his eyes, he was surprised that Han Lingfeng didn't embarrass the two of them, and he didn't know what his idea was for a while.

Both of them on the stage hurriedly walked up the pillar, both wanting to get the treasure as soon as possible. Seeing that the treasure was getting closer and closer, Feng I suddenly made a move to knock Meng Qi down, but Meng Qi seemed to have expected him to have this move, flashed his head sideways, and counterattacked. Seeing that the treasure was approaching, Feng I reached out and grabbed the secret note in a hurry, but forgot to dodge and fell to the ground with the treasure.

Although Feng I won a treasure, he was eliminated by the alliance leader due to the landing, and in this group, Meng Qi won.

The top 10 wealthy businessmen came up with strange tricks, and when the second group was about to take the stage, they actually asked the contestants to line up again in order of tallness and shortness. Meng Chuanqing's figure is medium, and he is ranked in the middle, and the first in line is a man in brown, about twenty-one or two, with a cold and handsome face. He and a man in his forties behind him boarded the lion dance stage, and the two of them reported their names.

The man in brown is called Zhuang Fulou, and the old man is called Xiong Yang, the rules of the game are the same, and the two of them jointly chose the pillar due north. After a competition, Zhuang Fulou actually won all the three treasures shot down by the alliance leader, which attracted a burst of praise from the audience.

In the third group, the top ten wealthy businessmen chose one person on the far left and one person on the far right as a group, and in the fourth group, they picked the two on the far left again. It's really full of tricks, and people can't figure out who their opponent is, and it's also a psychological war.

Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, there were already six groups of people who had tried the first level, but there were only three participants left. Meng Chuanqing was one of them, and when he saw that Lao Tian had never appeared, he was even more shocked in his heart, did he give up? But yesterday they were obviously full of confidence, how could they give up so easily, or did they have some conspiracy? Just thinking about it, Shen Song, one of the top ten wealthy businessmen, stood up and said, "The following group is composed of the oldest and the youngest. ”

Among the three, the oldest is Huo Yanzhou, who took the lead on the lion dance stage. Meng Chuanqing glanced at the ink-clothed young man next to him who was as big as himself, and didn't think that he was younger than him, so he didn't move, and the ink-clothed young man also looked at Meng Chuanqing and didn't move.

Shen Song looked at the two of them and asked, "Which of the two of you is younger?"

The young man in ink looked at Meng Chuanqing, "I'm seventeen." ”

Meng Chuanqing pouted, "I'm also seventeen." ”

The boy added, "I was born in April. ”

Meng said: "I am also April. ”

The ink-clothed young man's voice was a little louder, "I was born on the seventh day of the fourth month. ”

Meng Chuanqing was a little surprised, "Hey! What a coincidence, we were born at the same time in the same year, month, and day." How can this compare?"

The top ten wealthy businessmen were dumbfounded, there was such a coincidence, this... Who should be allowed to come to power? Shen Song chuckled and said, "Since the age is not comparable to the size, it is shorter than the height." He pointed at Meng Chuanqing and said, "If you are shorter, you will come to power." ”

Meng Chuanqing shrugged his shoulders and said to the young man in ink: "I'm sorry, I'll go first." The ink-clad boy smiled and made a gesture of please.

Meng Chuanqing performed light skills and jumped onto the lion dance stage, and after reporting his name to Huo Yanzhou, he circled around the four pillars, looked up at the frame in mid-air, and chose the pillar facing the Mo Ye Pagoda. Huo Yanzhou had no opinion on his choice, and both of them hooked their legs on the pillar.

Han Lingfeng pinched the flying knife and shot it out at Mr. Mai's signal. This time, he actually changed his previous posture and shot the flying knife at the treasure above the adjacent pillar, and a huge pearl slowly fell.

Meng Chuanqing was glad that he was prescient. I knew that this alliance leader would not let himself pass the level easily, and the treasures above the pillar he chose were the most, and the treasures on the opposite side had been all shot by the alliance leader, and there were still three or three treasures on the left and right sides that had not been shot down. In order to minimize the difficulty, he chose the pillar opposite the treasure that did not have it, and if the alliance leader wanted to embarrass himself, he could only shoot down the treasure on the left or right, so that he would not have to bother to grab the treasure on the opposite side.

Seeing that the treasure was about to land, Huo Yanzhou was powerless, so he could only watch, no one could go through the net to grab the treasure. However, at this moment, Meng Chuanqing suddenly leaned down, his right hand was in the shape of a claw, and he sucked at Mingzhu, and the Mingzhu, which was about to land, suddenly passed diagonally through the net hole and reached his hand. With a little effort, his body turned over again, holding the pillar in one arm and the pearl in the other, looking left and right, and couldn't put it down.

Relying on this inexplicable technique to win again, Meng Chuanqing was not only happy but also puzzled, how could I use this technique? It seems that I have never practiced before!

Hearing Huo Yanzhou's sigh, Meng Chuanqing's heart was unbearable for a while, and he said in his heart: I originally wanted to let him once, but if Han Lingfeng kept shooting the treasure next door, Huo Lao would have no chance to win the treasure at all. It's a lot of age, but you can't let him go home empty-handed. He rolled his eyes, and he already had a countermeasure to help Huo Lao.

Waving the pearl in his hand, try to make his expression look very proud, if Han Lingfeng doesn't want him to be proud anymore, he won't be stupid enough to shoot the treasure next door again. After all, if you can win the first time with the hand you show, you can win the second time.

Sure enough, Han Lingfeng's second flying knife no longer shot at the treasure next door, but shot above them, and a sword slowly fell. Meng Chuanqing intended to let Huo Yanzhou obtain the treasure, but he didn't want him to know that he was letting him, so he pretended to put Mingzhu in his arms and slowed down his movements. Seeing that the treasure was about to reach Huo Yanzhou's hands, he pretended to make a few moves with him, and then accidentally hit the trick and slipped a few points under the pillar. Seeing that Huo Lao had obtained the treasure, his heart was also extremely happy, what Huo Lao asked for in this life was only here, even if he lost in the end, but as long as he won a treasure, he would have no regrets in this life.

Han Lingfeng didn't give them a chance to rest, and the third flying knife shot again, still above them, and a nine-stringed piano slowly fell. Meng Chuanqing no longer let Huo Yanzhou, if he let it again, he would lose, and besides, this piano looks good, just enough to take it and give it to his sister.

This time, Meng Chuanqing used a wonderful light technique to go straight up the pillar, so fast that people could only see a phantom. As soon as the nine-stringed qin left the red rope, Meng Chuanqing's phantom arrived, and a spinner body caught it, and then fell to the top of the pillar. With a plucked of the strings, the subtle sound shook everyone, as if celebrating his victory. He slowly floated to the ground holding the nine-stringed piano, and his white clothes made him even more stylish, and many people cheered for him.

In this competition, the alliance leader announced that Yang swore victory. Although Huo Yanzhou failed, he also won a treasure, and he left with a smile on his face.

Meng Chuanqing jumped off the lion dance stage with the baby in his arms and came to the women.

"Hey... Cousin, see how much this bead is worth?" stuffed the jewel in his hand into Sang Youwei's hand. He didn't really care about the value of the treasure, and frankly said that it was useless for him to hold it in his hand, so he simply gave it to a connoisseur who knew the goods.

"Wow..."Sang You's worried eyes lit up, he took it in his hand and looked left and right, and said, "This is a real pearl... Worth over 10,000. ”

Meng Chuanqing said casually: "Really, then you can take it, and it will be regarded as my return of your 50,000 taels." ”

Sang Youwu muttered in a low voice: "Who is rare for you to return." ”

Meng Chuanqing's ears are very good, and when she heard it, she looked at her with strange eyes, "Cousin, you have become uncute." In the past, whatever he gave her, she was as happy as a flower, and even leaned on his back to try to kiss him, and he missed her happy smiling face before, unlike now, when her face was full of sorrow. Sang Youwu glared at him and didn't speak.

Meng Chuanqing looked at Yan Shangci again, blinked and smiled: "Your priceless treasure has come back unscathed, and you have a treasure with you, are you happy?"

Yan Shangci took the nine-stringed piano, his face was still full of sorrow, "However, there are still two levels..."

Meng Chuanqing looked at everyone and said with a smile: "What are you doing here, don't you believe me? Come, laugh at one." He gently patted Yan Shangci and Sang Youwu's cheeks with his hand. The two tacitly slapped his hand off and glared at him, when was it, he could still laugh.

Meng Chuanqing was glared at the bottom of his heart, and touched his nose with a sneer. I wanted to relieve this depressing atmosphere, but I didn't expect to get more and more nervous. He couldn't help muttering in his heart: "It's not okay to be worried, it's not okay to be happy, I really don't understand what they are thinking?"

"Boom!" "Ahh
