Chapter 2: Martial Arts Conference
In the twenty-third year of Taiping, the martial arts conference was held in the Dragon and Tiger League in northern Xinjiang. It is worth mentioning that due to the previous war, the martial arts in the rivers and lakes were divided, and the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance has been vacant.
After the establishment of the new dynasty, because the martial arts people also have merit, so the imperial court attaches great importance to the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, and the people are practicing martial arts.
In the past 23 years, Jianghu martial arts have continued to recover and develop in an environment of peace and contentment, and now it is full of talents, which is more than the original prosperity.
The martial arts conference was held as scheduled, and the heroes and heroes from all walks of life in front of the martial arts competition were already eager to try. As the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Alliance, Long Yingtian sat in the middle of the main platform, and on the left hand side were Yin Lichou, the master of the Dragon and Tiger Alliance, the lord of the Shura Palace, the iron-faced Yan Luo Zhang San'er, and the master of the Red Refining Hall, Ye Qianhong, and on the right hand side sat down was the great disciple of the Xuanqing Zhenren of the Nine Xuandao Sect, Murong Qi, who was known as the Little Sword Saint, Puhua, the new head of the Kongjing Buddhist Temple, and Long Xiaoyuan, the pearl of Long Yingtian.
The rest of the major sects are all lined up around the competition platform, and the entourage is standing behind them, and there are no less than 1,000 people in this face, which can be installed in the Dragon and Tiger Alliance's Dragon Xiao martial arts training ground.
Long Yingtian, as the host of this martial arts conference, took the lead in raising his glass: "Thank you to all the heroes and heroes for coming to the court, I, Long someone, have a drink first." ”
"As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without an owner for a day. The catastrophe of the previous dynasty, there is no shortage of people here who have experienced it, Wang Lao Alliance leader entered the court alone back then, and Long someone still remembers it vividly. Originally, he just wanted to get a little living space for us martial arts people, who knew that he would end up at the head of the violent corpse city!
After everyone drank a glass of wine, Long Yingtian continued: "In this martial arts conference, the competition is about heroes, everyone remember not to hurt the harmony." The position of the leader of the martial arts alliance is the same for everyone, but it must be a hero who can survive for those of us! Without the leader of the martial arts alliance, there would be no unity in the rivers and lakes, like a plate of scattered sand, and I am sorry for the awe-inspiring righteousness of the old alliance leader Wang back then, do you agree?"
"Agreed, agreed!" the crowd was impassioned.
"Dragon Alliance Leader, you have high qualifications and good martial arts, if it weren't for you and Ren Lao Alliance Leader to turn the tide back then, we people still don't know where they are. I don't think there is any need to choose the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, you are the most suitable, do you agree?" I don't know who is speaking out in the audience, which has attracted a lot of peace.
"That's not going to work. Someone raised an objection: "The leader of the Dragon Alliance has this qualification, but the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance has always been beaten, and this rule cannot be broken! Besides, there are still people from the Little Sword Saint Murong Qi and the Empty Pure Buddha Temple on the stage, which of these two sects is not a strong contender for the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance?"
"yes, that's right. There was a whispered discussion in the audience, and Long Yingtian stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Listen to me, if someone Long can be the leader of the martial arts alliance, he will definitely not shirk it, after all, someone Long has always been concerned about fellow martial artists." However, there are many masters in the audience, and there may be those who are better than the blue. In this way, since the stage is set up in the Dragon and Tiger League today, it will be up to me to do the Dragon and Tiger League, what do you think. ”
There was no objection from the crowd.
"Let's get started. ”
I saw that behind the iron-faced Yama, an eight-foot strong man strode to the middle of the competition platform and shouted: "I am the big one to fight the first game for the Dragon and Tiger League, and anyone who is not satisfied will come up!"
Many people saw this big man shirtless and full of exercises, and they all lost their previous confident looks, and there was no one to challenge them for a while.
The big man walked back and forth twice and said with a smile: "I don't have much fame in the rivers and lakes, so no one dares to come up." I'm afraid there is no need to fight for the position of the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance today, my Dragon and Tiger Alliance is qualified enough!"
"I'm not very old, and I'm crazy about my words. Long Yingtian swept down, but it was An Tongping, the head of the Zhuangyuan Mountain Divine Sword Sect.
The big man looked at the source of the voice, and saw an old man in a sixtieth armor standing up from the wooden chair, jumping lightly, and came to him.
An Tongping turned his back to the big man and said to everyone: "There are many sons and daughters of the Jianghu sect, but most of the people who come today are young juniors, and I don't know how to compare the law at the martial arts conference back then." An knew that the major leaders did not dare to make a move for the sake of face, and if the leader of the Dragon Alliance came out in person, everyone would presumably be unrestrained. ”、
The big man argued: "Old man An, if my Dragon and Tiger Alliance has the last laugh today, the leader of the martial arts alliance will naturally be the leader of our alliance." It's just that none of the major grandmasters were present today, and the alliance leader was embarrassed to make a move, so he arranged for me to play the first game.
An Tongping turned around and said with a smile: "An Mou's implication is that the major leaders don't have to be rigid about the subtleties, otherwise the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance will not become a joke." ”
Long Yingtian said: "Big man, don't be rude, according to the seniority, the head of the An family can grow you by two generations." ”
"The master of the Dragon Alliance is polite, this generation is still feasible in the door, if it is put on the rivers and lakes, it will not be able to convince the public. An Tongping stroked his black and white beard, stretched out his right hand, and said to the big one: "Please." ”
The big man was not polite, and reached out and grabbed An Tongping's right hand. An Tong was calm and relaxed, but the big man frowned, thinking: "After all, the head is the head, and the internal strength is still so strong when he is so old." ”
Everyone in the audience also applauded when they saw this scene, you must know that the figure of this An Tongping old-timer is a full half worse than the big one, if it is not for the deep internal strength, I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand the big one's grasp.
The big man looked around, and all he heard in his ears was everyone's praise for An Tongping, and he suddenly felt disgraced. With an extra layer of strength here, An Tongping also uses more work, and if he goes on like this, not only will he not be able to help this old man, but he will also become the laughing stock of the martial arts conference.
This is not going to work! The big man shouted, and suddenly retracted his strength, and his huge body fell backwards seven or eight steps before he could stand firm.
An Tong said calmly: "Good boy, I thought of such a bad move. Sure enough, the big man took the initiative to give up and Antongping Bi Nei Gong was injured by the strength in Antongping's hands, and he didn't stay after standing firm, and he pounced again in the next second after he stood firm.
The exercises that the big man usually practices are not ordinary martial arts, and the moves are skillful, but they are domineering horizontal martial arts, and the competition is all based on brute force.
An Tongping then swung his palm to receive a big punch, took two steps back, and then quickly tied up his horse and stepped up, and the back of his left hand unloaded the force of the fist on his right hand.
I just wanted to take advantage of the gap to adjust my internal breath, but unexpectedly, this big man shot extremely fast, and punched towards the center of his eyebrows. An Tongping hurriedly ducked, took advantage of the situation to push down the big elbow with his right elbow, wrapped his palms behind him and applied it to his back.
With this palm, An Tongping only used eight layers of force, and the big one stumbled and fell three steps forward. An Tongping performed his footwork, and took advantage of the situation to go up with two palms.
At this time, the big man had already turned around, and the force of his two palms hit his abdomen. In the martial arts conference, the master's moves have always been to the point, and it only takes more than ten moves to find out the opponent's strength, so as to use the opponent's estimation of the strength that the opponent can bear to defeat the opponent when making a killing move, one is not to offend people, and the other is to prove himself.
But the current situation is not the one-hit kill that An Tongping wants. With the same force, this time the big one stood still, motionless, as quiet as Mount Tai.
Antong was shocked: How could it be.
I saw the big man shouting, the muscles all over his body bulging, and An Tongping left him with strength and retreated a few steps back. The big one made a move Mount Tai to the top, and the whole person attacked An Tongping in mid-air and half-prostrate.
An Tongping performed his footwork and ran forward for more than ten steps, thinking about pulling some distance and pranayama. Who knew that this big man was more flexible than expected, and he actually grabbed the ground with both hands and did a backflip to correct his body, and he was about to pounce on him with a kick and punch.
Although An Tongping is old, he is still very confident in the skills he has cultivated after many years of martial arts, so he is ready to take the big punch.
This punch is the key to victory or defeat, because the big one has already made a killing move, although the horizontal practice of kung fu is arrogant, there are still shortcomings, that is, the single move, once the killing move is missed, the internal strength can not keep up, and it is easy to be countered by the opponent.
Everyone exclaimed, and An Tongping's heart trembled. In an instant, the big man suddenly turned his body and turned his back to An Tongping's palms, and then turned around and turned behind An Tongping. He didn't rely on his advantage to give him two palms first, but directly lifted An Tongping up and threw him out hard.
After Pu Hua, his junior brother Pu Zhi jumped and supported An Tongping in the air. But listening to the sound of the Buddha's bell surging around his body, An Tongping has landed smoothly.
"Thank you. An Tongping felt that he couldn't afford to lose this person after defeat, so he just hugged his fists and simply thanked him and hurriedly stepped down.
The Divine Sword Gate has lost its glory since the disappearance of the Sword Saint Xiao Lang, and An Tongping has been in retreat for many years and has devoted himself to cultivating the essence of martial arts in the door, in order to be able to show his strength at the martial arts conference and revitalize the mountain gate. No matter how much you calculate, you can't count it as a defeat at the hands of such a barbarian. hated himself for losing face and only using his fists and feet, but he neglected the fact that he had stepped into the sixtieth century. The more he thought about it, the more ashamed he became, and An Tongping waved his hand to signal the many disciples who stepped forward to support him to get out of the way. In this way, the Divine Sword Gate left the martial arts conference.
Neither did the people hinder them. In fact, it is also common for the sect to leave early at the martial arts conference, after all, most of the people who practice martial arts are strong-blooded, and it is normal for some people to be unwilling to lose.
Pu Zhi only used it is the first place in the Qingzhu martial arts list to protect the body of the small floating Tu Gong, which is known to everyone. It is said that all the disciples in the temple have learned, although this merit has been obtained, but it is divided into three classes. The inferior Xiaofutu can be invulnerable, but it is difficult to block the master's killing moves; the medium-sized Xiaofutu function can block the master's killing moves, but it can't resist hard; and most of the martial arts rankings referred to on the Qingzhu list are the most powerful they have ever had.
The Empty Pure Buddha Temple can be called the first school of martial arts, because it has the longest history, and has always represented the right way of martial arts in the long history, and has never declined. Xiaofu Tugong appeared in front of the eyes of the world, but also can be traced back to three hundred years ago, the white-eyed ghost road into the devil was born, the eighteenth generation of the Buddhist temple abbot Huixian Patriarch with the body of King Kong to catch it after three palms to capture it, widely praised.
Long Yingtian had long heard of the subtlety of the Xiaofu Tu Gong of the Empty Pure Buddha Temple, and when he saw it today, even if he was already a martial arts master, it was difficult to hide his praise, just because Pu Zhi, as an ordinary disciple, could steadily catch An Tongping who was thrown out by the big one with all his strength in mid-air and then landed steadily, and he didn't even have the move to retreat and unload his strength.
"Admire, admire. The empty pure Buddha Temple Xiaofu Tugong really deserves its name. Long Yingtian made no secret of it, and everyone in the audience also praised it.
"Hmph!" The big one was an arrogant master: "Little monk, you want to compete with me when you come to the stage?"
"Amitabha. Puzhi clasped his hands together and said: "Puzhi has no intention of fighting, just doing his duty." ”
The big one is also reasonable, and he should have too much luck just now, and the muscles around him are sore, so he didn't pounce on it. Behind Pu Zhi, Long Yingtian said: "Virtuous nephew, if the Buddhist Sect can produce a martial arts alliance leader, it would be great. Everyone in the world knows that the masters of the Empty Pure Buddha Temple are like clouds, and it is even more good for a closed disciple like you. Why don't you show your hand?"
"Amitabha. Puhua on the table also stood up: "Please also ask the Dragon Alliance Lord not to blame, the position of the Martial Arts Alliance Lord is empty and pure Buddha Temple is not willing." ”
Although Puhua is the abbot, he has not been in the position for a long time, and there is indeed a lack of Long Yingtian's generation according to the generation, but now it is the sect against the sect, and behind him is the great sect of the Empty Pure Buddha Temple, in front of the heroes of the world, Long Yingtian did not dare to slack off, and stood up: "Since your faction has no intention, it is no longer reluctant." ”
When the big man heard this, he turned around and shouted to the martial arts people around him: "Who else dares to come up and fight with me?"
"I!" There were already some masters in the audience who wanted to go up, but a young man took the lead. The crowd of onlookers made way for a walk, and the young man walked to the center of the arena under the gaze of everyone and the gaze of the big man.
"Dragon Alliance Lord, you are polite. The young man clasped his hands into fists and saluted.
Long Yingtian frowned: "Young man, report to your own sect first." ”
"Contemptible Yang Feng, no door and no faction. ”
"Young man, the martial arts arena is not a place for jokes, and not everyone can participate in the martial arts conference, if you have no door and no faction, dare to ask who is the hero?" Although Ye Qianhong is a female streamer, she is a well-known figure in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, and she is not impatient when she speaks, but she also forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in Long Yingtian's heart.
"Back to the words of the Ye Hall Master. As soon as Yang Feng spoke, Ye Qianhong narrowed his eyes, this kid actually knew himself.
"It's not a hero, it's a golden-armored guard under the command of General Xiao Tiantu, who is in the court. ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the audience became noisy.
In the third year of Taiping, the ten chapters of Emperor Qian's scripture were born, and nine of the major sects of the rivers and lakes were sent, but the last chapter of the hundred-year-old text was missing. At that time, the martial arts of the rivers and lakes were already thriving, and the sudden appearance of the ten chapters of the scripture turned the sky upside down among the people.
In the fifth year of Taiping, the various sects that had been searching for Chapter 10 to no avail finally waited for Qingzhusheng's paper of Qingzhusheng.
It has existed for more than a thousand years, and no one knows where it lives or what it looks like, but the stories of the rivers and lakes scattered among the people every 30 years and the list of Qingzhu heroes discharged every 20 years have always been recognized by martial arts people as an unchangeable authority, as if it had become a habit.
In the fifth year of Taiping, the place where the scriptures of the ten chapters of the scriptures were collected appeared with this list of green bamboo heroes.
At that time, the Jianghu martial arts were leaderless, and all the major sects gathered together to discuss and go to Suolong Valley to recapture the hundred-year-old Wen. As a result, the largest lineup in the history of Jianghu martial arts appeared, this lineup gathered the heads and elders of various factions, or top masters, Jianghu martial arts, and none of the sects were absent.
However, people didn't wait for the hundred-year-old text, what they were waiting for was the evil consumption of locking the Dragon Valley one by one.
So all the major sects coincidentally sent a group of disciples to Suolong Valley to find out, but they were all blocked by the imperial court officers and soldiers.
For a time, Suolong Valley was filled with poisonous gas, and messages from the remnants of the previous dynasty were everywhere, and the martial arts of the rivers and lakes were revitalized, but they never waited for news from the imperial court.
In recent years, the Dragon and Tiger League has asked for the body of the former head of the League several times, but the imperial court has refused. Later, the court officials who dealt with the matter were killed one after another, and the court sent people to come several times, but they all returned in vain. The gradually hostile relationship between the Dragon and Tiger League and the imperial court is just a microcosm of the relationship between the Jianghu martial arts and the imperial court.
At today's martial arts conference, the people of the imperial court are uninvited, so naturally there will be no good things.
Yang Feng only felt a fist wind behind him, and as soon as he turned around, his body leaned down slightly, and he caught the big punch.
The big one was stunned: "Good boy, young age, not small strength." With that, he punched his left hand again.
Yang Feng knew that this big man had too much brute strength, so he hurriedly let go and lay down on the ground, avoiding this hard encounter. After lying down, I only felt that the sky was covered in the early stage, and the big man's fists had already come up.
Saying that it was too late, Yang Feng slipped out of the big man's feet and went around his back. The audience burst into laughter, how could anyone drill the crotch of their pants by themselves.
The big man turned around, Yang Feng had already stood up, a head taller than him, and punched him in the face, although he was powerful, but the big man had thick skin, and he roared and threw himself into the battle again.
When the two clashed, Yang Feng was defeated and retreated. Seeing that he was about to come out of the martial arts platform, Yang Feng stumbled again, and the whole person fell down again.
History is always strikingly similar, and Yang Feng once again went around the back of the big man: "Wait a minute!"
The big man only felt a little foreign body on his chest, and then he was shouted by Yang Feng, and he felt uncomfortable. It turned out to be Yang Feng's ape arm, which was already hugged in front of the big man's chest.
The big one smiled weirdly, laughing because this move was the same as the one used by An Tongping just now, but this kid was worse than An Tongping's cultivation, and it was impossible to defeat him.
Yang Feng also smiled weirdly, smiling that his plan had succeeded.
In the next second, the big man trembled all over, and his face was full of surprise. Yang Feng, this kid, actually pinched his ...... hard
"you!" Yang Feng's move made the big one lose concentration, and then he kicked his backhand, this kick used all his strength, and he bounced to the floor, and the big one, staggered forward a few steps, and actually went out of bounds!
Everyone on the stage looked serious, frowning or surprised, but the group of the Nine Xuandao Sect showed joy.
It turned out that Yang Feng's last kick just now was the leg of the Nine Xuan Dao Sect, although the strength was insufficient, it was close to half of the four taels of thousands of catties. It is said that the current general Xiao Tiantu can be regarded as half of the disciples of the Xuanqing Zhenren, and it is understandable that his subordinates can make two moves and the unique skills of the Nine Xuandao Sect.
Long Yingtian snorted coldly, and several young people from the Jiuxuan Dao Sect who came to participate hurriedly collected their joy, but the clear-eyed people saw that this Long Yingtian's displeasure was completely directed at the beloved daughter Long Xiaoyuan, who was sitting and clapping his hands.
I saw Yang Feng stand up, subconsciously patted the soil on his body, very proud, turned around and was about to shout at Long Yingtian, but Ye Qianhong's words made him lose his smile.
Ye Qianhong said: "Everyone on the rivers and lakes praised the eight hundred golden armor guards under the great general Xiao Tiantu for their well-trained and extraordinary skills. Dare to ask Brother Yang, just this trick was unexpected...... Techniques, but the general?"
Ye Qianhong paused deliberately, and everyone immediately understood which move she was talking about, and they all used the topic to play.
One of the people in the audience said: "This Brother Yang, presumably your golden armor guards have a lot of miscellaneous exercises, and they integrate hundreds of schools, which heroine must have learned this trick from someone, right?"
"It's just that, this move is obviously a female move. ”
"I guess that's the real trick. ”
"No, no, it's not like I've seen it in my early years, it's not like it's so powerful. It should be the masculine fingering of the flowers, without the word masculine, how can you match this Yang brother?"
These martial arts people were originally hostile to the people of the imperial court, and as soon as Ye Qianhong provoked this, everyone became noisy.
Yang Feng's face turned red, looking left and right, he lost the brilliance of a victor, but looked like a villain who used tricks. Young and vigorous, he forgot all the important things when he came, and in order to save face, he pointed to this group of people: "Don't just say, there is a kind of coming up to fight, what's wrong with my trick, didn't I win?"
"Brother Yang, it seems that your martial arts are really good if you can defeat my seventh brother, so let me come and meet you. The voice came from nowhere, with a hint of murderous aura.
Yang Feng took a few steps back in amusement, his heart tightened, and the cold air was blowing in his face, but he couldn't see his figure. Yang Feng turned around suddenly, but when he saw a black shadow shifting, his back was suddenly cold, but there was an extra heat in his chest.
Everyone in the audience exclaimed, and the masked man in front of him also came to the stage at some point, and dragged Yang Feng over to protect him.
Yang Feng gasped and saw the man in black behind him take a few steps back, his right hand trying to ease as if he was cramping.
Long Yingtian thought to himself: "This person's light skills are comparable to that of Bat Gong, and it is impossible for Xiao Tiantu to be himself." Even if it was really Xiao Tiantu, it was impossible to have such an internal force that could repel the bats through one person and leave this person unharmed. This kind of skill is afraid that it is a figure on the list of heroes of Qingzhu. ”
At this time, there was a bloody smell in the throat of the bat male, and he secretly shouted that it was not good, could it be that he had already suffered internal injuries in this fight just now? Fortunately, the iron-faced Yan Luo behind him patted his shoulder in time and continuously transmitted internal force to force the blood flow in his chest.
The iron-faced Yama looked forward and said, "Your Excellency is so handsome, San'er will teach you." ”
Just as he was about to make a move, Long Yingtian stopped the fight with a word and a slow change.
I saw that Long Yingtian walked in front of San'er and Bat Gong without impatience and said: "This person's martial arts are unfathomable, even if you seven brothers go together, I'm afraid you won't be able to take advantage of it." ”
"Alliance Leader......" San'er was just about to speak, but when he saw that Long Yingtian was not moving, he helped Bat Gong down with interest.
Long Yingtian saluted: "I don't know where Your Excellency is sacred, and I hope to teach you." “
"I don't dare to teach. The masked man was also unusually calm, and his tone was full of reproach: "The Dragon and Tiger League is just a place where some individual guests gather, and this martial arts conference has called on many heroes to come here, just to run for the leader of the martial arts alliance." Neither famous nor decent, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"I'm afraid the hero's words are out of grace. Ye Qianhong said: "You said that my Dragon and Tiger League is not a decent family, but I hide my face and speak quickly, I am afraid that I am deceiving myself." “
The masked man said with a smile: "This time I came here to be entrusted by the great general Xiao Tiantu, firstly, to correct the martial arts hostile to the imperial court and establish the leader of the martial arts alliance, and secondly, to catch the murderer of the imperial court minister, and nothing else." You say that I am so quick to hide my face and deceive myself, why should I bother? Compared with what the Dragon and Tiger League has done, my two things are much more above board. “
"In that case, please take off your mask and see it. “
But seeing that Long Yingtian raised his hand slightly, the wind in his sleeves surged, and his palm was not far away, a spear broke by itself, and the tip of the spear flew towards the competition platform. Before everyone could react, Long Yingtian had already shot the tip of the gun at the masked man.
Long Yingtian is also regarded as a great master of today's martial arts, and he is the only one among the top masters of the martial arts predecessors who is quite active, not to mention that everyone present can feel the murderous aura, even by virtue of his fame alone, it is inevitable that there will be some waves in the hearts of those present.
However, the masked man had no intention of retreating, and when the tip of the gun arrived, the masked man's right hand had already grabbed it to pieces, and there was a hidden thunder.
Long Yingtian narrowed his eyes: "Thunderbolt palm." ”
The masked man slowly took off his mask: "Lei Zhenmen He Zhennan, fortunately I will meet heroes from all walks of life." ”
