Chapter 45: Mystery
I saw that Lu Xuanji was slowly climbing the steps of the ring. Li Yu saw that he had a white face, a soft scarf on his head, a Confucian robe, and a box. After taking two steps, he actually stood there panting for a long time, looking weak and unable to help the wind.
He turned out to be a weak scholar among the four people who disputed at the inn under the mountain.
There were many people when the lot was drawn, and Li Yu only saw Lu Xuanji's back, but did not see his appearance. At this time, in addition to some doubts, I was more surprised.
That Lu Xuanji finally got into the ring, gasped twice and straightened up, as if he was loosening his muscles, as if he was seventy or eighty, causing a boos from the audience.
Some people even laughed and scolded: "It turns out that Lu Xuanji is in vain." With such a sick appearance, he is not as strong as the secular people, and he doesn't look like a cultivator in my way. In this way, you can still advance to the main competition, isn't it Tiangongmen relying on famous factions, secretly colluding with the conference to cheat. ”
Lu Xuanji was not annoyed when he heard this, and arched his hand to the audience with a smile. came to the center of the ring and said to Ye Zhiqiu: "Brother Ye, Xiaosheng Lu Xuanji is late, sue for sin." ”
Ye Zhiqiu, who was wearing a mask, couldn't see any expression, but just said coldly: "The chief disciple of the Tiangong Sect has been weak and sickly since he was a child, and when he sees it today, it is better to see it than to see it." You admit defeat, I won't fight with the sick man, so as not to provoke the tongue that I am taking advantage of the danger of others and ruining the reputation of my little nighthouse. ”
That Lu Xuanji put down the box behind him with great effort, looked relieved, and smiled at Ye Zhiqiu: "I have also heard of the wind coming from all directions in the small night building, and I am well-informed. When I saw it today, it didn't live up to its name, I didn't know what the opponent was talking about, and I was still self-righteous. This is the reputation of insulting Xiaoyelou Zhongzhou as the first intelligence. ”
Ye Zhiqiu snorted coldly when he heard this, and said, "Since you are so confident, then Ye Mou will come to comprehend and comprehend the magic of Tiangongmen." With that, Ye Zhiqiu's arms crossed in front of his chest, and three long hooked claws suddenly popped out of each pair of strange arm guards, flashing with a hint of cold light.
Lu Xuanji's eyes lit up when he saw this, and said: "What a pair of hooks and claws cast from ice meteoric iron, could it be that this is the unique weapon of Xiao Yelou, 'Soul Hooking Claws'?"
Ye Zhiqiu was obviously stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said: "It seems that you still have some eyesight, since this is the case, then don't talk nonsense, show your blade." ”
Lu Xuanji nodded, squatted down and opened the top cover of the box, rummaged in it for a while, and said to himself: "Well, it's just you." ”
After that, he got up and stood aside, with his hands on his cuffs, looking like he was watching a play.
The audience was full of questions, not knowing what tricks this Lu Xuanji was doing.
At this moment, there was a strange "crunch" sound, and an arm stretched out from the open lid of the box!
"Hiss", there was a gasp in the audience.
I saw that several more arms, legs and feet stretched out of the box, and finally a person came out of the small box.
Li Yu saw the person who came out clearly, and couldn't help but feel a layer of sweat on his back.
This person turned out to be the pockmarked face of the four people in the inn dispute!
The pockmarked face got out of the box, stood on the stage and moved his hands and feet back and forth a few times, and said to Lu Xuanji: "If you ask me to come out to be a coolie, you have to give me a weapon after all, right?"
Lu Xuanji, who was on the side, rummaged in the box twice more when he heard this, and finally pulled out a long mace and handed it to Mazi Face with great difficulty.
The audience was already stunned, not to mention that there was a person hidden in this small box, but that this mace didn't look like it could be stuffed into a box.
The patriarchs in the square in front of the hall were also surprised. That Cheng Chun turned his head to the Yanshi God on the side and asked, "Isn't it the 'Thousand Treasures Treasure Chest' that this proud disciple of the God is carrying?"
The Yanshi smiled and rubbed his long eyebrows and replied, "Not bad." It is the newly refined storage magic weapon of my apprentice. This is also thanks to your faction for providing a large number of sacred tree branches and leaves, otherwise the apprentice would not be able to make this treasure. ”
Cheng Chun laughed dryly when he heard this, and thought with regret in his heart: "It turns out that Tiangongmen came to my door some time ago to purchase so many sacred wood branches and leaves, in order to refine this magic weapon. I knew that it would be used in the Discussion Conference, so I would have raised the price. ”
Just when Cheng Chun was remorseful, Ye Zhiqiu on the stage came back from shock, pointed to the pockmarked face who was wielding a mace and shouted at Lu Xuanji: "Don't you want him to fight against me? Isn't this asking someone else to replace you? This is a foul!"
The referee elders in the audience also cast questioning glances, and one of the elders said to Lu Xuanji: "You can't borrow the hands of others in the battle of the Dao Conference, let him leave quickly." ”
Lu Xuanji smiled and said to several elders: "How could Xiao Sheng do such an illegal thing. This is my unique secret puppet, the 'reincarnation puppet'. It is the magic weapon of Xiaosheng refining. ”
After speaking, Lu Xuanji opened the placket on the chest of Mazi's face, revealing the chest with the ribs protruding inside. Lu Xuanji pressed it twice, only to hear a "snap", and the chest of the pockmarked face was actually opened, revealing the layers of gear inside.
The crowd was dumbfounded. It's just that Li Yu's heart set off a storm, "This vivid person turned out to be a puppet? I also saw that puppet Lin Langwei in Linlang Pavilion back then, his actions were blunt, and he couldn't speak." There is no such realistic human face as this pockmarked face. If it was really refined by this Lu Xuanji, then he was really a real person and did not show his face. ”
After the referee elder signaled the competition to continue, Lu Xuanji closed the chest of the pockmarked face and said to him: "Do a good job, if you win, you will change your handsome appearance." ”
The pockmarked face showed a look of flattery, and replied: "Come on, you can take a look at it on the side." ”
Lu Xuanji sat on top of the box with his hands in his hands, as if he regarded himself as a bystander.
Mazi rounded his mace with his face, and shouted to Ye Zhiqiu: "Boy, eat your grandfather Mazi's mallet!"
Ye Zhiqiu was angry in his heart that he underestimated this Lu Xuanji, and did not investigate it in detail, but asked him to despise him. At present, only by defeating him in a dignified manner can the reputation of Xiao Yelou not be dishonored.
Seeing the mace smashing at the moment, Ye Zhiqiu said coldly: "Escape without a trace!" I saw that Ye Zhiqiu's figure suddenly faded and disappeared in the air.
The pockmarked face smashed into the position where Ye Zhiqiu was standing, and the earth collapsed, directly smashing out a big pit, but it didn't hit Ye Zhiqiu.
Mazi's face snorted, but the clothes behind him suddenly appeared with three tears. Three scratches suddenly appeared on the bony back of the pockmarked face, and the epidermis on it was broken, revealing some joint gears inside. It turned out that Ye Zhiqiu unknowingly walked around behind Mazi's face and gave him a claw.
Mazi's face didn't know the pain, and he immediately turned around and swept the mace, but it hit the air again. After a blow and a miss, Mazi simply picked up the mace indiscriminately, intending to hit Ye Zhiqiu by chance.
It's just that in a place where everyone can't see, Ye Zhiqiu, who is hidden in the air, is quietly approaching Lu Xuanji, who is sitting there and looking around.
Ye Zhiqiu sneered in his heart: "Even if your Lu Xuanji magic weapon is peculiar, but your actual combat experience is pitiful. The so-called capture the thief first captures the king, although it is difficult for me to hurt this puppet, but as long as I catch the main master, I will win no matter what. ”
Just when Ye Zhiqiu thought that he was about to succeed in the sneak attack, he saw that Lu Xuanji suddenly showed a wicked smile.
Ye Zhiqiu was suddenly alert and hurriedly retreated. But I found that there were a few more silk threads under my feet at some point.
The thread was almost transparent and extremely thin. Ye Zhiqiu paid attention to the landing mystery, but he didn't notice that these silk threads were under his feet, and he was unknowingly wrapped around his legs.
Ye Zhiqiu looked along the silk threads, and saw that these silk threads were all exposed from the cuffs of Lu Xuanji's hands.
Suddenly, Ye Zhiqiu knew in his heart that he had fallen into Lu Xuanji's trap. Immediately decided, Ye Zhiqiu waved his arm and hooked his claws and slashed on top of those silk threads, intending to cut off the silk threads and get out of the trap.
But who knew that although this silk thread was slender, it was unusually tough, and when a claw slashed on it, only a few sparks burst out.
"Oh no!" Ye Zhiqiu was shocked when he saw this.
Lu Xuanji showed two hands, and he was wearing a strange pair of gloves on his hands, and the silk threads came out of the fingertips of the gloves.
Lu Xuanji hooked his fingers, and Ye Zhiqiu felt a strong force coming from the silk thread. Immediately tripped over the silk thread and fell to the ground, revealing his body after the spell failed.
The audience only saw Ye Zhiqiu's sudden disappearance, and the pockmarked face was inexplicably injured in the back. I thought that Ye Zhiqiu's exercises were peculiar, and he seemed to be sure of victory. But what made people's jaws drop was that for some reason Ye Zhiqiu suddenly fell to the ground again, and his figure appeared. The crowd was puzzled.
When Lu Xuanji showed his hand and put on his gloves, everyone realized that it was Ye Zhiqiu's sneak attack that failed, but he fell into the trap.
Lu Xuanji pulled the silk thread in his hand and said to Ye Zhiqiu, who was trying to struggle to get rid of the silk thread: "Don't move, I am the silk spit out by the iron devouring golden silkworm, which is not only tough but also very sharp, don't blame me if your leg is cut off." ”
Ye Zhiqiu stopped his movements when he heard this, looked at Lu Xuanji coldly and said, "I think that I am a young owner of a small night building, proficient in the art of assassination, and I will be planted in your trap today." Anyway, I don't have the shame to go back to the small night building, so I might as well stop it on my own. ”
After speaking, as soon as Ye Zhiqiu raised his hand, the three hooked claws smeared towards his neck.
Lu Xuanji couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop!"
said that it was too late, but Ye Zhiqiu, who was about to wipe his neck, suddenly showed a cold light in his eyes, and the hand that was originally wiping his neck suddenly threw out a cold light, and shot at the defenseless Lu Xuanji.
Li Yu saw it clearly in the audience, and suddenly saw Ye Zhiqiu making a sneak attack, and couldn't help but exclaim and remind: "Be careful!"
But it seemed that it was too late, Li Yu saw Lu Xuanji's body tremble, as if he had been hit. It's just that the latter sentence came, but Li Yu lowered his head and exhaled a breath of turbidity.
"Is this the 'clutch dart', one of the secret weapons of the Little Night Tower?"
Li Yu, who had just put his mind at ease, only heard a burst of surprise from the crowd around him, and then looked at Lu Xuanji on the stage.
I saw that Lu Xuanji's chest placket actually stretched out a wooden hand from it, and the wooden hand was tightly holding a dart facing Lu Xuanji's eyebrows.
The wooden hand threw the dart to the ground and retracted into the hem of his coat. Lu Xuanji shook his hands lightly, and the silk thread that wrapped around Ye Zhiqiu's legs "swished" back into the two gloves.
Lu Xuanji looked at Ye Zhiqiu, who was sluggish on the ground, and said with a smile: "As a disciple of a sect who is secretly engaged in business, I am not surprised that I can use such a method. You have touched me this time, if you are a disciple of another sect, I am afraid that you will be poisoned. In order to make your life less unscrupulous in the future, I think it is necessary to teach you some lessons. Look what's behind you!"
Ye Zhiqiu came back to his senses when he heard this, and subconsciously looked back, but suddenly saw a thick black shadow coming straight and slamming heavily on his face
"Ahh
"Phew, is your pockmarked grandpa transparent?"
