Chapter 22: Watching the Battle
As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Li Mubai had just moved his body, and the red lady hurriedly ran over and called the other three up.
"Hurry up, we're going to get a good place. The red lady urged.
The monkey rubbed his eyes and muttered, "So early, hurry to reincarnate!"
Li Mubai smiled and said, "If you let the shopkeeper hear it, you will have to bear it." ”
The monkey said with some dissatisfaction: "Did you even let it complain?"
"Then you go and complain to the shopkeeper!" Li Mubai pointed at the red lady and teased.
The monkey said stupidly, "Then forget it!"
The group drove two ox carts and pulled the things to be sold to Wangkong Mountain.
The summit of Wangkong Mountain is a platform, quite flat, with a lot of exposed stones.
Li Mubai and his entourage laboriously moved half of the things up, and half of them were left at the foot of the mountain, fortunately, Wangkong Mountain was not high, otherwise several people would have to die of exhaustion.
"Our soldiers are divided into two ways, Xiaobai, you and Liuxiang go to the top of the mountain, me and the monkey, the Quartet is at the foot of the mountain. The red lady assigned the tasks of several people, and said: "Don't worry, as long as you earn it this time, I will go back and give you a good meal." ”
Everyone responded weakly.
Li Mubai and Tang Liuxiang found a place on the edge of the platform at the top of the mountain. There is a big rock here, and it is the edge, so that they can have plenty of space to sell things, and they can also see the jousting on the stone.
"When will they start the martial arts competition?, are we coming too early?" Li Mubai couldn't help but say as he looked at the few people on the top of the mountain.
Tang Liuxiang sat on the stone and replied: "No one knows the specific time, it's better to come early, if we come late, there will be no good places, and we won't be able to see it then, won't we come in vain?"
"That's right, and there's all that stuff out there. Li Mubai looked at the things placed on the ground and sighed helplessly.
"Alas, look at that, isn't that the forty-fifth ranked Gongsun Sheng of the Sea-Covering Sword!" a group of people not far from Li Mubai and them, one of them pointed to a young man holding a long knife.
"That's right, it's him, I heard that he is a casual cultivator, he didn't join any sect, and he entered the star list with the long knife in his hand. His companion said with admiration.
The man then introduced: "Gongsun Sheng was originally just an ordinary person, but when he was a teenager, he had an adventure and obtained a sea-covering sword technique, and he relied on his own talent to cultivate to the congenital perfection by relying on this innate secret record level exercise. If there is a sectarian cultivation, it will definitely be even more terrifying. ”
His companions all nodded
"This is not necessarily," Li Mubai heard this, and whispered to Tang Liuxiang: "If he had a smooth ride from the beginning, he might not be able to rise as suddenly as he is now, you must know that a stable life is also a drain, and his belief may not be so firm." ”
This is a simple truth, why is it that in the last years of the dynasty in Chinese history, there are many heroes in the era of war, but the era of peace is relatively rare?
Because not only heroes create the current situation, but the current situation can also create heroes, just like a group of people under Liu Bang, including Liu Bang, who are just slaughtering dogs, but they are taking advantage of the situation.
"Xiaobai, you're right, if everyone changes their growth environment, they won't necessarily become what they will become!" Tang Liuxiang was quite emotional, and said with some embarrassment: "What environment you are born in, this is destined by God, but what kind of life you live is everyone's own decision." ”
Tang Liuxiang felt it, obviously thinking of himself, if he hadn't chosen to live in seclusion in this town, he wouldn't have lived his current life.
"Let's not talk about these aside, today's protagonist is not Gongsun Sheng, why haven't those two people arrived yet?" Li Mubai looked around.
Tang Liuxiang was not in a hurry, but a little lucky: "How can it be so early, according to this situation, it is estimated that it will be noon, so it is okay, we are estimated to be able to sell out these things, and then we can concentrate on watching the competition." ”
As Tang Liuxiang guessed, when they sold all the things, the sun was in the sky, and the people hadn't come yet.
There was a commotion in the crowd, but no one left, they had been waiting for so long, if they didn't see the competition, what a blessing?
After a while, there were constant shouts of "coming, coming, coming" from the way up the mountain.
"It's coming, it's finally here!" Li Mubai looked very excited, and stood on the stone suddenly, looking towards the mountain road.
The person who came, Li Mubai, learned from other people's mouths that it was Shi Liunian of the Hengshan Sword Sect. Shi Liunian is twenty-five years old this year, tall, broad-shouldered, and delicate, and when he reaches the top of the mountain, he stands with his sword in his hand, his eyes closed, and he doesn't care about the surrounding discussion at all, and he is ready for the duel that awaits him.
It was already past noon, but Wan Jiankong had not yet arrived, and the people who came to watch the battle were all talking, but Shi Liunian still stood motionless, undisturbed at all.
"Wan Jiankong hasn't come yet, are you afraid?"
"Wouldn't it, right? Wan Jiankong is on the star list, but he is above Shi Liunian, how can he be afraid?"
"Then why don't you think he's here yet?"
"Maybe something delayed?"
"If you don't come, you don't come, others won't treat it as if it didn't happen because he can't come because he has something, but only say that he is afraid of Shi Liunian. ”
"That is, maybe he was just scared and didn't dare to come. ”
"Brother Tang, do you think Wan Jiankong will come?" Li Mubai also waited a little anxiously, so he asked Tang Liuxiang.
Tang Liuxiang wasn't sure, but said, "It should come." ”
Then he explained: "Everyone in the rivers and lakes values reputation, and besides, Wan Jiankong is a genius disciple of the Cangyue Sword Sect, even if he doesn't care about it, he has to take into account the reputation of the Cangyue Sword Sect." ”
Maybe he was scared, after all, Shi Liunian dared to challenge him, and he must have something to rely on. Thursday speculated.
Hearing this, the monkey retorted: "No, I heard that Wan Jiankong was adopted by the Cangyue Sword Sect's Elder Hanyue Sword Mu Li, and his reputation for the Cangyue Sword Sect is more important than his own, and this duel seems to be because Shi Liunian forced Wan Jiankong to accept the challenge on the grounds that the Cangyue Sword Sect was in decline." ”
"The generation of the Cangyue Sword Sect is really not very good, except for Wan Jiankong, there is no one who can handle it, and no one can compete with Shi Liunian if he doesn't make a move. Tang Liuxiang nodded approvingly.
Zhou Fang said with some unhappiness: "Then this history is too despicable?"
Tang Liuxiang smiled and patted Fang Fang's shoulder: "Things don't look like this, the Hengshan Sword Sect and the Cangyue Sword Sect are the strongest sword-using sects in the vicinity, the grievances have been around for a long time, and it is normal to look at each other wrongly, either I suppress you, or you suppress me, there is no so-called despicable or despicable." ”
The monkey continued: "Moreover, the generation of the Cangyue Sword Sect has been suppressed by Shi Liunian, and ten thousand swords are born out of nowhere, and they will have a battle." ”
"It should be Wan Jiankong's outstanding talent, Shi Liunian is afraid that if he is given more time, the gap between the two will get bigger and bigger, and if there is still a chance, I want to suppress Wan Jiankong." ”
After all, Li Mubai came through time, and he is no stranger to this kind of thing.
"That's how it should be. Tang Liuxiang nodded approvingly.
"Isn't that Wan Jiankong even less likely to come?" said the four squares in confusion.
Tang Liuxiang said seriously: "No, he will definitely come, because if he doesn't come, it will be tantamount to admitting that he is not as good as Shi Liunian, leaving a psychological shadow, and it will be difficult to make progress in the future." It's coming!"
