Chapter 31 Competition
The moonlit night in early winter was clear and cold.
The bright moon in the sky is sometimes incomplete.
Lin Qiuzhi sat cross-legged in the room, and the silver glow from the west was reflected on his face at this time, which looked particularly weird.
Taiqing righteousness is passed on from the hands of the founding patriarch of the Fuyun Sect, who believes that floating life is like a dream, when you are pure and calm and carefully experience this vain life, you will find that the red dust that is crowded is just the floating dust scattered with the wind; the life that the world seeks is just the impermanence of all actions; the love that disturbs people's dreams is just gathering and dispersing, and this vain life is like light smoke and quicksand, which will only flow at the fingertips, since you can't catch it, it is better to let go. The world doesn't know its name, only calls it a sword like a cloud, and the exercises he created are all with a pure heart, indifferent and free meaning, so the Taiqing Zheng Qi has the wonderful use of purifying the mind.
However, at this time, Lin Qiuzhi's face was hideous, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and he did not have a trace of a sense of calmness and calmness, in the depths of his heart, what emotions were affecting his mind? In the depths of his mind, a low and hoarse voice kept repeating the words of this morning, like a magic barrier.
Lin Qiuzhi's face was pale, he clenched his teeth, his usual white blindfold had already been shrouded in yin qi, and his body exuded a strong black yin qi, surrounding the black long sword hanging in the air in front of him.
The gloomy abode, the long sword hanging in the air, and the indescribable emotions, but in this long night, how can one person be disturbed by love? In the empty boudoir, Xu Zimu sat in front of the window in a daze, looking at the crescent moon stupidly...
In the same night sky, Xu Mingxuan stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky.
But when the night was falling, and the moon was as cold as frost, and the stars were dotted, they were intertwined with each other, forming a huge net that enveloped the world.
There was a familiar footstep behind him, Su Wan walked to his side, looked at the starry sky, and said with a faint smile: "Are you still thinking about today's events?"
Xu Mingxuan sighed and said, "King Qi rebelled, and the remnants of the Hades Palace have changed, and the senior brother plans to let the first eight of the martial arts go to Yunzhou to quell the rebellion." With Mu Ren's cultivation, there will be a quota in the future, but the water in Yunzhou is too deep. ”
Su Wan smiled slightly and said, "Mingxuan, with Ren'er's qualifications, he must still have the ability to protect himself, and didn't the head of the martial arts sect take out the Folding Immortal Sword, the Fire Realm, and the Nine Turns Awakening Divine Pill this time." ”
Xu Mingxuan snorted coldly and said, "Heh, what if you take it out, are we really blind?" Although Li Yu, who is under the disciple of Senior Brother, does not often appear in the world, but his qualifications are good, and we are not invisible. At least two of these three prizes are going to fall into his arms, but it is a good calculation. ”
Xu Mingxuan seemed to think of something, and he was angry in his heart, and said: "What do you use to protect yourself? ”
Su Wan said in a low voice: "Okay, how did you mention Senior Brother Sword Zhixiao." ”
Xu Mingxuan's face was flushed with anger, his voice raised a lot, and said, "Why can't you mention it?" There was something strange back then, but now only Mu Rencheng has the climate in my door, if there is a so-called "accident" happening, then what do you want me to do?"
"Okay, okay, how can there be so many accidents. Su Wan said again: "Do you think Zimu has been a little strange recently?" ”
Xu Mingxuan said: "What?"
Su Wan said lightly: "I don't believe you didn't see it?"
Xu Mingxuan snorted coldly.
Su Wan smiled slightly and said, "You can also see it, Zimu has not had any good playmates since he was a child, and since the enemy came, the two have been inseparable, and it is possible to have some feelings." ”
Xu Mingxuan had expected his wife's words, but he was still angry, and said a little unwillingly: "The third elm head, how can he be qualified to match our daughter, I really don't know if Zimu is blind." ”
Su Wan laughed out loud, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said angrily: "Every day he said that he was an elm head, and it was not you who secretly laughed in Jian Tan that day, like a child." Besides, you were also an elm head, does that mean I was also blind? ”
Xu Mingxuan turned his head away and stopped talking.
Su Wan shook her head and said with a smile: "You, it's the knife mouth tofu heart." ”
Xu Mingxuan whispered unnaturally: "Okay, okay, what do we care about our daughter's business?"
Su Wanyan smiled and quipped, "It's good for you to persuade me." ”
Xu Mingxuan's face turned red, but he immediately returned to normal, stepped forward to hold his wife's smooth jade hand, and said, "It's late at night, go back to the room quickly." ”
。。。。。。
The next day, after breakfast, all the disciples of the Floating Cloud Sect came to this martial arts platform. Today's competition platform is particularly lively, at a glance, the vast sea of people, whether it is the outer disciples, or the inner disciples who have not participated in the competition, have already grabbed a place on the edge of the ring early, even if the person of the sword Tan came early enough, it is still late. However, this did not affect Xu Mingxuan and Su Wan, as two elders, naturally a disciple brought two chairs for the two to sit down.
This competition has also changed from the past, and from a distance, it looks like a huge nine-palace gossip array. And in the middle, on behalf of the ring of the middle palace, there is a red banner more than two feet high solid wood red list, on which the golden font of the bowl is marked with the signature number, name, opponent, and battle ring of the disciples, and the top number one Lin Qiuzhi is particularly conspicuous, except for the name and sign, the other columns are empty.
Lin Qiuzhi couldn't help but blush, and secretly glanced at everyone, only to see that the master and the master were asking everyone something, and they didn't pay attention to themselves. Lin Qiuzhi suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, only to feel as if he was isolated, as if everyone thought that he was just lucky for a round, and he would eventually come to see the world.
"Qiu Zhi, come here, the master has something to say to you. ”
Lin Qiuzhi's body was shocked, and the strangeness in his heart was immediately suppressed, secretly angry why he had such thoughts, Master, Senior Sister, Senior Brother and Senior Sister have always treated themselves very well, and they really shouldn't be!
Su Wan saw that Lin Qiuzhi's expression was different, and said worriedly: "Qiuzhi, are you okay?"
Lin Qiuzhi shook his head and said, "Master, I'm fine." ”
Su Wan glanced at him and said, "Qiu Zhi, you are very lucky, you have a bye today, but you also have to pay attention to the competition of senior brothers and sisters, such an opportunity is also rare." ”
When Lin Qiuzhi heard this, a trace of intent flashed in his heart, and then he darkened again, and said, "Yes, Master." ”
Su Wan looked at Xu Mingxuan, Xu Mingxuan nodded, turned around and led everyone towards the sea of people.
Xu Zimu paused, hesitated in his heart, then gritted his teeth and whispered to Lin Qiuzhi: "Little junior brother, can you come to see me to compete?"
This time the sect will be martial arts, and the eight rings will naturally be divided into four batches. Coincidentally, Xu Zimu and Song Yi in Jian Tan are in this first batch, and the same Han Yuqing is also in this first batch.
Lin Qiuzhi actually wanted to watch Han Yuqing's competition, but for some reason, the two of them were childhood sweethearts, they were a natural pair, which seemed to be deeply engraved in his mind, reminding him all the time that a waste like himself had any qualifications to have thoughts about her.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, senior sister." ”
Xu Zimu smiled happily after hearing this, and jumped to Su Wan's side.
Lin Qiuzhi was stunned for a moment, thinking about it carefully, since the beginning of the sect's martial arts, the senior sister had not smiled at herself like this for a long time.
Immediately, a trace of guilt flashed in his heart, since he entered the sect, the senior sister has treated himself very well, and the sect will be such a grand thing, presumably the senior sister must be under a lot of pressure.
"Dang", a crisp bell sounded, echoing around the tournament platform, everyone was shocked, and the scene immediately fell silent.
Jian Yixin stood in the middle of the ring, looked around, and said loudly, "The competition has officially begun." ”
Immediately, the sword waved his sleeve robe, and several bells rang out, and everyone present was boiling, everyone was smiling and eager to try.
Song Yi is in the palace, and Xu Zimu is in the palace, the two can be said to be far apart, weighing the pros and cons, everyone is here to watch Xu Zimu's competition, leaving Song Yi alone in the palace.
Xu Zimu's opponent was a man surnamed Wu Yingjie, who was a personal disciple of Zheng Keming, one of the six elders. There were many disciples of Zheng Keming, and Xu Mingxuan and others were soon drowned in them, and the audience could only hear the shouts of Zheng Keming's disciples.
At this time, Zheng Keming glanced at Xu Mingxuan lightly, nodded to him, and watched Wu Yingjie come to the stage calmly. And Xu Mingxuan frowned, looked at Xu Zimu, shook his head, and sighed.
Lin Qiuzhi didn't know why, so he secretly asked Mu Ren: "Senior brother, why is Master like this." ”
Mu Ren sighed: "Wu Yingjie was already at the fifth layer of the Yuqing Shengjing Realm at the time of the last year, and his current cultivation is probably at the sixth layer of the Yuqing Shengjing, and with the strength of the junior sister, I am afraid it will be a vicious battle." ”
Lin Qiuzhi suddenly realized, and then looked at his senior sister with some concern.
However, Xu Zimu didn't seem to be nervous at all, smiled at Lin Qiuzhi, turned around, and said, "Dad, mother, I'm going up." ”
Xu Mingxuan nodded towards Xu Zimu and said, "Go ahead." ”
Su Wan's face was filled with love, and she said, "Be careful. ”
Xu Zimu glanced at the stage and said with a smile: "Dad, mother, don't worry, wait for my good news." ”
Then Xu Zimu rose into the air, she was born beautiful and moving, and now in the air, dancing, even though the clothes she was wearing were the same, but she still flew to the stage like a fairy, making the male disciples in the audience restless, and the applause was like thunder, which was particularly loud.
Wu Yingjie admired in his heart, and when he saw Xu Zimu and the stage, he arched his hand and said, "Please teach Senior Sister Xu." ”
Xu Zimu heard Senior Brother they say that he was powerful, and he didn't dare to slack off, and said, "Where, I still have to ask Senior Brother Wu to show mercy." ”
After speaking, Xu Zimu took a step back, and with a pull of his right hand, a three-foot green blade emitting a light blue light flew in his palm, and there seemed to be light blue ripples surging on his sword, like water.
Wu Yingjie's eyes froze when he saw this, and then he also sacrificed a fiery red long sword.
Su Wan in the audience looked relieved, and smiled at Xu Mingxuan: "This sword was taken advantage of by the 'Qing Dyeing' in Zimu's hand. ”
Xu Mingxuan nodded, his frowning brows soothed a lot.
"When", the bell rang again, and the competition between the two officially began.
Xu Zimu was young and vigorous, and the people he liked were watching from the sidelines, and before the bell stopped, he activated the aura around his body, soared into the air, and threw up a few sword flowers in mid-air, and countless light blue sword lights swept towards Wu Yingjie.
Wu Yingjie frowned, he didn't expect this junior sister to say that she would fight, but fortunately, her own strength was higher than her, so she hurriedly dodged and dodged, but saw that among the sword flowers, a figure holding a long sword appeared, attacking him directly! Wu Yingjie was in a hurry, the sword trick surged, the long sword floated in front of him, and his hands slashed to both sides, only to see countless fiery red sword shadows appear, forming a red light shield!
The two touched, and the force of repulsion violently resisted the two, Xu Zimu flew backwards with the help of his strength, which was particularly beautiful in the air, on the contrary, Wu Yingjie fell because of his hasty move, and retreated several steps in embarrassment.
There was a roar and sighs from the audience.
Wu Yingjie showed a look of shame, and said in a deep voice: "Senior Sister Xu, offended!"
As soon as the words fell, Wu Yingjie stepped out with a fierce kick, the speed was extremely fast, and only the afterimage left behind could be seen, but after a few breaths, he flashed to Xu Zimu's death, and two fiery red sword qi slashed out with a 'cross'.
Xu Zimu swiped in his hand, and the light blue sword qi was like ripples in the water, slashing forward, but he saw a black shadow disappear in a flash! Xu Zimu was startled, and slashed out with a backhand sword, but after all, he was a little slower, and was repelled several steps by Wu Yingjie, who suddenly flashed behind him.
Wu Yingjie took advantage of his failure to stand firm, his figure flashed again, he held the sword in both hands, and a huge fiery red sword qi was like substance, attacking Xu Zimu.
A cold light flashed in Xu Zimu's eyes, gritted his teeth, and the sword floated in front of him, with pale blue water waves, and surging sword waves generated from the ground downward, protecting her in the blink of an eye.
The fiery red sword light bombarded the sword wave, and in an instant, a wave of qi exploded in all directions. The corners of Wu Yingjie's mouth twitched, and he pursued the victory, and the whole person fused with the fiery red sword light in the air, appearing at the top of the sword wave.
With an angry shout, Wu Yingjie held the sword with both hands and stabbed it violently, and the sword qi spread out to the tip of the sword, like a sunset in mid-air, falling fiercely with a scorching light!
"Sunset Slash!" Xu Mingxuan couldn't help but exclaim, and Su Wan looked at the stage with a worried expression.
Lin Qiuzhi was also extremely worried, and shouted, "Senior sister!"
"Boom!"
The two touched each other, and instantly surged around, leaving only the fiery red sword wave and the light blue sword wave intertwined on the stage!
When the shadow of the sword dissipated, I saw Xu Zimu's face pale, standing with the sword in his hand, and he was constantly panting for heavy breath in his mouth, but Wu Yingjie had already fainted to the side.
The people on and off the stage were all stunned. It was the referee who reacted first, and said loudly: "Xu Zimu, win!"
Immediately there was fierce applause from the audience, Lin Qiuzhi shouted especially loudly in the audience, Xu Zimu looked at him in front of him, smiled slightly, and thought in his heart, how good it would be if he would always only inspire me.
