Zhu Wuchang's expression froze.

"Ah, why is this? Don't you want to enter the Jijia Wuyuan to have a look?" Zhu Wuchang looked at Meng Ran in disbelief and asked loudly.

Meng Ran smiled and said, "I have already been to Jijia Wuyuan. ”

"What? How is this possible? Could it be that you have made a private agreement with the eldest lady of the Ji family for life?" Zhu Wuchang's expression became richer and richer, and his eyes were full of gossip.

Even Zhu Lao Er and Zhu Shouye, who were standing behind Zhu Wuchang, were attracted by Meng Ran's words, and couldn't help but look sideways.

Meng Ran smiled bitterly, lightly hammered Zhu Wuchang's chest, and reprimanded angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you afraid that these people below will make trouble for you?"

Zhu Wuchang looked around very weakly, and found that no one noticed him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice: "Then tell me, why have you been to Jijia Wuyuan." ”

"It's a long story. ”

"That's a long story short. ”

"Okay. Meng Ran pondered the words and said slowly: "Just the night before yesterday, I encountered some trouble while shopping, and had an argument with a group of people.

At that time, I met the eldest lady of the Ji family, fought with her, and won by luck with a little cleverness, and got the opportunity to enter the Wuyuan. ”

Meng Ran didn't dare to say the fight yesterday morning, after all, not many people knew about it, so there was no need to publicize himself.

After all, people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong.

Zhu Wuchang patted Meng Ran on the shoulder and asked ill-willedly, "How does that Miss Ji look, what is her temperament, do you like her?"

Meng Ran hurriedly shook his head and said, "I just had a fight with her inexplicably, and there was no other intersection." When it comes to appearance, it's really good-looking, but as for the character, it's a bit of a big lady's temper. ”

Zhu Wuchang looked at Meng Ran with a smile and asked, "To be honest, are you tempted?"

Meng Ran said calmly: "No, I have a marriage contract, how can I provoke other women." ”

After saying this, Meng Ran unconsciously touched his nose, and he suddenly thought of Song Xiaofei, the fairy-like Oiran of the Qinglou.

Zhu Wuchang saw that Meng Ran's expression suddenly became very strange, and there was a hint of clarity in his eyes, and he continued to ask: "Then what did you see in the Ji Family Enlightenment Garden?

Meng Ran sighed softly in his heart, shook his head and said, "There is a formation in the Ji Family Wuyuan, I walked in it for a long time, and I still couldn't get out of that formation, wasting the autumn light in vain. ”

Zhu Wuchang looked at Meng Ran with a distressed face, and only felt that this little brother who was quite close to him was really a little pitiful.

At this moment, Zhu Shouye, who had not spoken, opened his mouth and asked, "Junior Brother Meng, your body was injured in the Ji Jiawu Garden?"

Meng Ran's eyes had a hint of admiration, and he said with a wry smile: "Fifth Uncle Zhu's eyes are like torches, my injury is indeed caused by the formation in the Wuyuan, and I almost didn't get out." ”

Zhu Shouye bowed slightly: "Whoever walks around in the Wuyuan, you must not mobilize the true qi in your body, otherwise, you will be injured by the formation, didn't the people of the Ji family remind you?"

The bitterness on Meng Ran's face became a little stronger, and he said: "Remind me, it's just that I didn't hold back at the time, so I became what I am today." ”

Zhu Shouye nodded lightly and didn't speak again.

Zhu Wuchang carefully kneaded Meng Ran's arms and chest, and said with relief: "It seems that it is not a big deal, just take care of it." If something happens to you, I'm afraid there will be one less sword master in the rivers and lakes in the future. ”

Meng Ran didn't know how to deal with Zhu Wuchang's heartfelt praise, so he could only show a shy smile.

Zhu Shouye, who didn't know about the battle between his nephew and Meng Ran, only felt that his nephew didn't know the depths, and he admired a foreign boy who didn't know how to advance or retreat and had the courage of a horseman.

At this moment, there were a few more figures in the ring, including Ji Mingze, the ancestor of the Ji family, Ji Daozheng, the third master of the Ji family, and three local celebrities.

After the five people came on the field, the originally noisy scene immediately quieted down, and everyone who was talking and greeting each other stopped talking and looked at the five figures in unison.

Ji Daozheng took a step forward, coughed lightly and said, "In the next Ji Daozheng, thank you friends for participating in the competition of the Ji family, I am very grateful."

However, due to some reasons of the Ji family, the rules of the competition were temporarily changed, and Ji apologized to all friends.

In order to express my family's apology, Ji is willing to show you a part of my family's mastery here, which can be regarded as an apology to you. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an exclamation all around.

"What do you mean by this?"

"Ji Jia, this is to let more young junjie participate in the competition..."

"The Ji family is worthy of being a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it is really magnificent..."

"It seems that this trip was not in vain, I can learn something..."

The audience was in an uproar, and the discussion was boiling.

When the noise gradually stopped, Ji Daozheng spoke again: "On this grand occasion, it is really inappropriate for my family to change the rules of the competition, so my ancestor has added another article, all the players who can enter the top ten, the ancestor will consider his talent and character, according to the actual situation, accept three of them as his old man's registered disciples, as for whether you can learn from my Ji family's family heirlooms, it depends on your efforts." ”

The crowd, which had just calmed down, boiled again.

Meng Ran looked at the figure in the ring thoughtfully, and asked softly, "Brother Zhu, since it is a competition to recruit a son-in-law, why doesn't Miss Ji Jia show up?"

Zhu Wuchang smiled and quipped, "Could it be that there is any special relationship between the two of you, why are you so worried about her?"

Meng Ran shook his head and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhu thinks badly, I just want to see this grand event, as for the rest, I don't have extravagant hopes, after all, my injury ......"

Zhu Wuchang patted Meng Ran's shoulder lightly, and said with a look of regret: "It would be good if you could play, when the time comes, our two brothers can fight side by side, which is also a beautiful conversation." ”

Meng Ran said with regret: "It's a pity, but it's also a blessing for the younger brother to be able to cheer for Brother Zhu." ”

......

While the two were talking, there were new changes in the ring between the rings.

The ancestor of the Ji family and the three famous people sat on the chairs that had been arranged, leaving Ji Daozheng alone to stand in the center of the ring.

With a sword groan, the long sword on Ji Daozheng's waist was already unsheathed.

The sword is swung like a silver ball.

The sword qi is vertical and horizontal, like a dragon in the sky.

All the onlookers held their breath and quietly looked at the sword shadow in the ring.

Meng Ran looked at the sword light in the field, his heart swayed, and the sword qi in his body involuntarily breeded, spreading outward.

Geng Huyuan, who was standing behind Meng Ran, suddenly made a move and pointed at Meng Ran's back.

In an instant, his fingers had already pointed over Meng Ran's Fengmen acupoint, Dazhu acupoint, Sanjiao Yu and other important acupoints.

The sword qi that was about to overflow the surface of the body suddenly retracted and slowly fell silent.

Zhu Shouye saw this strange scene, and couldn't help frowning, secretly mobilizing the true qi in his body, looking for the wisp of sword qi that disappeared as soon as it appeared.

After Meng Ran was awakened by Geng Huyuan's movements, he hurriedly gathered his mind, not daring to make any more superfluous movements, for fear that the restless sword qi would appear again.

By this time, the figures in the ring had already performed two tricks.

"Mountains and rivers sword intent. ”

Ji Daozheng, who was silently reciting the four words in his mouth, took a step forward gently, and the long sword in his hand slashed through the air, leaving several sword marks.

The sword marks rose in the wind, turning into more than a dozen white sword qi.

The criss-crossing sword qi formed a sword talisman in midair.

The sky that should have been dry and rainless suddenly felt a little wetter.

The long sword in Ji Daozheng's hand stabbed into the sky, and the wetness became a little heavier.

The onlookers only felt that there were countless sharp meanings in the sky above the ring,

It was as if thousands of rain swords were about to fall with the wind.

Everyone looked up one after another and saw that in the originally clear sky, countless crystal rain suddenly appeared.

This rain is naturally different from the rain on weekdays, it seems to be weak, but it has a hint of murder.

When the rain was about to fall into the crowd, the ancestor of the Ji family, who had closed his eyes and recuperated, suddenly made a move, and with a slight wave of his right hand, the rain that appeared out of thin air disappeared in an instant, and there was no trace of it.

Ji Daozheng put away his sword, stood quietly in the ring, and said loudly: "The three swords cast by Ji are all the sword intent of my Ji family, and I hope that someone who is destined to understand the sword intent in it." ”

Ji Daozheng paused for a moment and continued: "The next step is the registration link, I hope that young heroes from all over the world can sign up enthusiastically and show their skills in this ring." ”

After speaking, Ji Daozheng and the other four people left the ring one after another.

Some of the family members who were in charge of registration took the stage and prepared to start the follow-up work.

Then there was a small chaos at the scene, and even if there were people to maintain order, there was still some friction.

Some people are in a hurry to sign up, and some people look indifferent.

Obviously, Zhu Wuchang is the latter.

He pointed to the panicked crowd in front of him, and said in a slightly mocking tone: "Look at these people, they are like ghosts who are rushing to reincarnate. ”

In this regard, Meng Ran just smiled and did not express an opinion.

Zhu Laoer, who hadn't spoken for a long time, kicked Zhu Wuchang and signaled that his nephew could go and sign up.

Zhu Wuchang grinned and said to Meng Ran: "You wait for me here first, and I'll come back after I finish registering." ”

Meng Ran said softly: "Brother Zhu, there are a lot of people here, and it's very noisy, so I won't stay longer." If you have time, come to the Tongfu Inn and find me, and I will settle down there. ”

Zhu Wuchang was not reluctant, and said: "Okay, after participating in the competition in the afternoon, I will go to you, and then we will chat all night." ”

"So much for the best. ”

Subsequently, the two separated.

When the group was far away from the embankment of Tongli Lake, Meng Ran looked back at the ring set up by the Ji family, and muttered softly, "Strange, why didn't Ji Furong appear? Why did the Ji family suddenly change the rules of the game? Could it be that there is some ulterior connection between the two?"
