I was holding a man in my hand, and when I heard this voice, I stopped and saw an old man looking at us menacingly.

I looked at Liu Qi and cast him an inquiring look. Liu Qi nodded and motioned for me to stop. I slapped the man in my hand again before letting him go.

The old man walked towards Liu Qi and the person before him, and shouted at them: "What's the matter with the two of you! Usually you two fight each other, it's nothing, and you don't look at what day it is!

Both of them lowered their heads and did not speak, and the old man looked at them for a while and sighed: "You all go and prepare for the competition!

After the old man finished speaking, he left, and the man before also snorted coldly and went to do his own thing.

I asked Liu Qi, "Who are these people?"

Liu Qi pointed to the person who was beaten before and said, "His name is Hu Mu, and he is also the person who joined our Kyushu Association later." Hu Mu, come here," the man walked over to us, and Liu Qi whispered to him, "This is the leader of our Kyushu Society." ”

Hu Mu was startled, and immediately wanted to worship me, I stopped him, "Don't mind, there are not so many rules in Kyushu, not to mention that there are outsiders around here." ”

Hu Mu scratched his head embarrassedly, "Hehe, I'm so excited, I forgot about this stubble." ”

Liu Qi said again: "Hu Mu is the most talented person in the entire Blood Soldier Gang at the moment, and the weapons he builds, even if they are made of the worst materials, can be sharper than those made of better materials by others. But he was born with a bad physique, and he built a weapon, and others built ten. And because he is more honest, he is often bullied by those who are jealous of him. The person just now was called Tian Cheng, and he was the hall master of another hall, one of the people who often deceived him. As for the old man just now, it was Du Fei's father, Elder Du. ”

I nodded, "I see," I patted Hu Mu on the shoulder, "Don't worry, after this forging meeting, I will take you out of the Blood Soldier Gang, and no one will bully you again." ”

Hu Mu was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Thank you!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked up in the middle of the square, and as soon as he went up, the entire square fell silent. I don't need Liu Qi to say it this time, I also know that he is the leader of the Blood Soldier Gang, and since he has appeared on the stage, then this forging meeting should also officially begin.

Sure enough, the man cleared his throat and began to shout to the entire square: "I announce that the Blood Soldier Gang's triennial forging meeting has officially begun! This forging will be divided into five big games, each of which will be divided into three small games. The five major competitions are: 100 into 50, 50 into 25, 25 into 12, 12 into 6 and finally the top six competition. The three mini-competitions in each game are: casting the same weapon from the same material, casting different weapons from the same material, and casting weapons from the material of your choice. As for the final finals, there is only one game, and that is to use Chilian Iron to build a Chilian Sword. Since it takes a lot of time to forge weapons, each small game lasts a full day, a total of twenty-three days. The first place can get 20 catties of Tianshan cold iron and become the elder of the gang; the second place can get 10 catties of Tianshan cold iron and become the hall master of the gang, if it is the hall master, it will become a candidate elder; the third place can get 5 catties of Tianshan cold iron. The people in charge of supervising everyone's competition are me and the elders of the sect. Do you understand?"

"Got it!"

"Okay! Now let's start the first game, please get all the guys in place!"

Liu Qi said to me, "Helper, let's go up first." ”

I nodded, "Go up, come on, it's better to take the top three!"

Liu Qi took Lu Bing and seven other people to participate in the competition, and I saw that Hu Mu didn't go up, so I asked him, "What's the matter?"

Hu Mu said embarrassedly: "Helper, I can't build a weapon at all in one day, and I'm still embarrassed." ”

"Yes, this kind of competition is really not for you. ”

Hu Mu lowered his head, "I'm sorry, helper, I'm too weak." ”

When I saw him like this, I said to him, "Don't say that, it's not what you think about poor health. Even if you can't participate in this competition, you can still play your part elsewhere. In the future, we will have to rely on you to build weapons!"

Hu Mu raised his head and looked at me hopefully: "Really?"

I smiled and nodded at him, "Really!"

"Thank you, Gang Master! Hall Master Liu is right, the Gang Master is a good person, and following the Gang Leader is much better than here!"

When I heard Liu Qi say this, I was a little excited in my heart, after all, since I was a child, except for the time when I was a hero, there were not many people who praised me.

At this point, the game on the field had already begun, and I took the group up to watch them play.

The first game is to make a long sword out of ordinary iron, and after the competition, the leaders and elders of the Blood Soldiers Gang will give their own rankings for each person, and the other two games will be added up, and the top 50 will enter the next round, and the rest will be eliminated.

Liu Qi's father was a blacksmith in Qingping County, and Liu Qi followed him and began to learn this craft when he was a child. After that, Liu Qi went up the mountain to become a bandit, and most of the bandits' weapons were cast and repaired by him. Coupled with the practice in the Blood Soldiers Gang during this time, his casting skills are much higher than the average of these people on the stage. By this time he had put the iron in the furnace and made the hilt of the sword he was going to make out of wood. After a while, the iron was burned red, Liu Qi took out the iron and began to beat it with a forging hammer, he swung it very rhythmically, and every time the hammer was swung, it made a pleasant sound. I've never seen someone else build a weapon before, and I didn't know that striking iron could be so elegant.

Of course, we didn't just focus on Liu Qi alone, after all, Liu Qi was concentrating on striking iron and had no time to observe his opponent, which required us to help him see which person's skills were okay, which person's skills were not good, and which one was comparable to him or even better than him. On the stage, I also met Du Fei and Tian Cheng before.

Du Fei is just a captain, and it is very likely that he became the captain because of his father's relationship. However, his iron kung fu is really not covered, he and Liu Qi are completely different styles, Liu Qi is rhythmically beaten, and the force of each blow is very even, just right. Du Fei struck rhythmlessly, and with great force. I thought he didn't know anything, just a random hit, but Hu Mu told me that although he seemed to be indiscriminate, in fact, he used the same force for each blow, and his crazy iron-striking method would also make the weapons he created have a wild momentum.

Tian Cheng's kung fu is a little worse than Liu Qi, although he also uses the same method as Liu Qi, but even I, a layman, can see that he is a little struggling.

In addition to this, we also saw more than a dozen opponents with more competitive potential. This makes me a little worried, can we get the Tao of the twenty catties of Tianshan cold iron? But it's useless to worry, it's better to believe Liu Qi, and even if he can't get the first, there is a second and third, even if he can't get the second and third, he can't get it, hehe, I can steal it!
