Chapter Seventy-Three: Eight Extremes Capture the Dragon
The next day came quickly.
Cao Mengbo took the iron-faced Yan Luo Zhang San'er, the Soul Breaking Knife Chen Kuang, Mo Ming, the deputy generals Luo Xing, Zhao Meng and the sixty armor soldiers to Taiqing Mountain.
On Taiqing Mountain, Jiuxuanmen shows the friendship of the landlord, and on the mountain gate path, there are two rows of young Taoist priests waiting for a long time. At the end of the queue, the eldest disciple Murong Qi personally greeted him and opened the way for Cao Mengbo and his party.
After entering the mountain gate, a short distance from the left is the martial arts training ground of Jiuxuanmen, which is also the place where these three or four generations of disciples usually practice martial arts. Xuanqing has been in retreat, and it is still Xuankong who comes out to greet him on behalf of the Nine Xuanmen.
Xuankong didn't say much to greet, but Cao Mengbo still paid homage to the two seniors. Xuankong and Xuanxu simply nodded, and invited everyone to take a seat. There are three seats on the stand of the martial arts arena, the middle is the seat of Xuankong, the seat of Cao Mengbo on the left, and the seat of Xuanxu on the right. Xuan Yi made a ruling on the scene today and did not enter the main position.
Although Xuan Yi is a member of the Nine Xuanmen, he can also be regarded as a martial arts master, and Cao Mengbo's side is also convinced of him.
The competition is imminent, Xuan Yi opened and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today, Cao Mengbo, the general of Huizhou Mansion, came to worship the mountain gate on the order of the great general Xiao Tiantu, and you all showed a hundred times the spirit!"
For more than 300 years, since the establishment of the Jiuxuanmen, no one has ever come to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and they don't have the courage to come. Today, Cao Mengbo went to this Taiqing Mountain, which is the first time. Cao Mengbo looked at it, and there were many young disciples in their twenties, and he couldn't help but be afraid.
Xuankong is good at observing words and feelings, and suddenly saw where Cao Mengbo's attention was, so he said to Cao Mengbo: "These are all second-generation disciples, they can't go up or down, they can be regarded as good hands." “
Cao Mengbo's eyes lit up: "Could it be that these disciples are competing with us today?"
Xuankong nodded confidently, Cao Mengbo had already wandered out of the world. No wonder His Majesty and the general are used to seeing blood, but they have always been afraid of the martial arts of the rivers and lakes. Xuankong let these second-generation young disciples fight today, intending to show him how strong the strength of the Nine Xuanmen is, and the second-generation disciples are still like this, and then up, all of them are martial arts masters.
Xuan Yi continued: "General Cao, do you want to introduce the people you brought?" ”
Cao Mengbo came back to his senses from his astonishment: "No need, three wins in five games, a competition and a name." ”
Xuan Yi bowed his head slightly and said: "Then there is no more etiquette, the competition begins, and the first person on both sides will come out!"
The first person sent by the Nine Xuanmen was Chen Wen, the second-generation disciple of the Xuanwen lineage. In the Nine Xuanmen, the closing of the door is a generation, which is passed down by the head of the sect. Half of the second-generation disciples are taught by the head of the sect, and half are taught by the closed disciples. The third generation of disciples is taught by the second generation of disciples. As for the four generations of disciples, most of them are lay children, who have not been officially incorporated into the mountain gate, and go up the mountain to strengthen their bodies and practice martial arts.
Like Yang Feng, the four of them have a foundation, and they have just reached the third generation after a year in Jiuxuanmen. Chen Wen also often guides the four generations of disciples, so he is respected as Senior Brother Chen Wen among the people and is highly respected.
Chen Wen held a short sword in his hand, clasped his hands into fists, and saluted Zhao Meng, the first person on Cao Mengbo's side. As his name suggests, this Zhao Mengren is rough, with a full beard and a tall figure. Although Chen Wen is not thin, he is still a little smaller than this Zhao Meng. A must-read book
In the Nine Xuanmen, there are not many people who use short swords, except for Murong Qi's virtuous sword, which belongs to Chen Wen's refined copper short sword, which is the best, and Chen Wen is also the eldest disciple of the second generation of disciples. Most of the swordsmanship of the Nine Xuanmen is suitable for long swords, so the disciples in the sect are also mainly long swords, that is, the five masters of Xuanqing in the past are also accustomed to using long swords.
This Zhao Meng is the deputy general who has been with Xiao Tiantu all the year round, and after Cao Mengbo came this time, Xiao Tiantu sent Zhao Meng over to help him. Zhao Meng is more than forty, younger than Cao Mengbo. But he looks like a young man in his twenties, only a little more mature.
Zhao Meng is a man, he returns the salute with his fists, and this time he went up the mountain in addition to those armor, Cao Mengbo, Luo Xing, and Zhao Meng did not wear armor.
After the ceremony, the competition can really begin.
Zhao Meng's weapon is an iron hammer, which does not look as big as an ordinary iron hammer, and is relatively small. But when Chen Wen received Zhao Meng's hammer, he felt a burst of numbness and difficulty, but fortunately, he usually had solid basic skills, and he quickly took down the horse to stabilize his position.
Zhao Meng rose up, and it was a coherent hammer, this time Chen Wen did not choose to take it hard, but retreated. While Chen Wen retreated, the short sword in his right hand also responded, and the sword sound was crisp, as if he knew that he was useful.
Just as Zhao Meng came down with the third hammer, Chen Wen firmly raised his sword to meet it, the short sword was against the hammer, and Chen Wen's hair flew back. The strength of this hammer is comparable to that of a warrior's sledgehammer, and Chen Wen found out that this person's hammer was made of muddy iron, and the actual weight was probably twice as much as his estimate.
With this move, Chen Wen used the essence of Jiuxuanmen martial arts: overcoming rigidity with softness. I saw Chen Wen's backhand, and the blade of the short sword swung around the surface of the hammer, bursting out layers of sparks. Next, Chen Wen exerted his left palm, hitting Zhao Meng's left shoulder. When this move came to an end, Chen Wen caught the falling short sword, thinking that Xuan Yi would judge the winner, but he didn't expect Xuan Yi to stand next to him and say nothing.
When Chen Wen looked at Zhao Meng again, he saw that he had already stood on his heels, and his left shoulder shook, as if nothing was wrong.
The two looked at each other, and Chen Wen suddenly noticed that the person did not seem to be injured. Zhao Meng shouted violently, and rushed towards Chen Wen with the hammer, when the two were close, Zhao Meng swung the hammer first, and Chen Wen raised the sword later. Zhao Meng's hammer was vigorous, Chen Wen leaned back to dodge Zhao Meng's hammer, and at this time, the short sword was in Chen Wen's hand, still a little away from Zhao Meng.
But Chen Wen sat up again like a spring, Chen Wen grasped the weakness of Zhao Meng's slow movements, and before he could seize the hammer, Chen Wen's short sword had already been held against his chest. I thought I had won, but I didn't expect this Zhao Meng to suddenly go crazy, and he took a step forward, and Chen Wen found that he was not only infinitely powerful, but also a horizontal trainer.
Zhao Meng looked at Chen Wen with contempt, and the hammer he was holding in both hands was put down at once. Chen Wen hurriedly collected the sword file, and at this time the lower plate was empty, Zhao Meng kicked down, and Chen Wen retreated in defeat. Zhao Meng took advantage of his weakness, took two steps forward, and a carp turned over and picked up a sledgehammer and smashed it on Chen Wen's body.
Although this contest is over, Zhao Meng knows that Chen Wen is a master, if he doesn't take advantage of his weak attack, he will slow down a little, and he will have to work hard. Most ordinary people can't stop this move, but the martial arts master will not die, at most he will resist some internal injuries, and it will be over after a month of recovery.
Zhao Meng was bent on winning, but he underestimated the martial arts characteristics of the Nine Xuanmen. Only then did Chen Wen guess his next move the moment he knew that Zhao Meng was a horizontal practitioner, and quickly gathered his qi in his abdomen, the top was actually empty, if Zhao Meng pressed down, Chen Wen would definitely be seriously injured. However, Zhao Meng attacked his unpreparedness first with ordinary thinking, which gave Chen Wen a chance.
Zhao Meng covered the sky and the sun, and when the hammer was lowered, what he was waiting for was Chen Wen's hard-won move, the Eight Poles Capture Dragon Sword. In a small area around the two of them, there was a sudden explosion, but it was the sword qi that Chen Wen had secretly laid down when the two of them had just passed. When Fang Chen Wen was hit hard by Zhao Meng and retreated, the last sword qi happened to fall into the west on the way.
At this time, all the sword qi has reached the end, Chen Wen draws the qi into the sword, and there will be an explosion around him. After a burst of dust, Zhao Meng didn't care about anything and fell to the ground, but he pounced on the air. Suddenly, there was a chill on the top of his head, Chen Wen stood upside down, and the tip of the refined copper short sword was already close to Zhao Mengtian's spiritual cover.
In this world, the general horizontal practice of kung fu, the weaknesses are all in the heavenly spirit cover, and one blow will be pierced. If Zhao Meng usually went to the battlefield to protect his head, Chen Wen would probably lose this competition, but at this time, Zhao Meng's head was empty, knowing that he had been thrown, and threw away the hammer in his hand, and at the same time, Xuan Yi announced the victory.
