On the day of the competition, it was also the first day of the Yuanfang Club, and the Yuanfang Pavilion was full of guests and was very lively. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In previous years, although there were many guests who came to participate in the Yuanfang Club, most of them were literati. But this year, this phenomenon has changed greatly, and nearly half of the characters in the rivers and lakes with swords and swords are actually arranged.

Another difference from previous years is that in addition to guests from all over the world, this year's Yuanfang venue also has a large number of heavily armed forbidden troops. And outside the gate of Yuanfang Pavilion, there are also many officials from Jingzhao Mansion who are maintaining order.

All the Jianghu figures who come to the meeting must submit their names and stickers, and they must be martial arts people who have a family and faction, and have registered with the government, are eligible to enter.

There are indeed some gangsters who have not long eyes, and they want to sneak in to join in the fun, but before their feet touched the edge of the gate of Yuanfang Pavilion, they were taken to the nearby dark alleys and beaten all over the ground to find teeth. If anyone dares to resist, he will be caught and thrown directly into the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, and it is estimated that he will rot in it for the rest of his life and will not be able to get out.

In this way, it does have a sufficient deterrent effect. Although the number of visitors to the meeting has increased this year, the order in the venue is still orderly.

In addition, the bright armor of the soldiers of the forbidden army standing solemnly on the periphery of the venue actually added a very special scenery to the Yuanfang Society.

The girls in Yuanfang Pavilion, who were accustomed to seeing weak scholars and fat businessmen on weekdays, couldn't help but linger on the young and heroic faces of their beautiful eyes now, but they also shook their heads at Liao Jingdong, the owner of Yuanfang Pavilion, and couldn't help but secretly complain in their hearts about the person who made this arrangement in the first place.

Fortunately, this unusual and somewhat ambiguous situation did not last long, and when the white-clothed Ice Boy appeared, it was completely reversed.

The girls in the pavilion immediately focused their eyes on Han Bing's handsome face, and at the same time offered a gentle or enthusiastic smile. Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes, not to mention that this young man in white is still an extremely handsome hero, how can he not let those young girls have a spring heart?

And the arrival of Zhao Zhan is a different scene.

Behind him, the commander of the forbidden army, there were also four burly black-clothed sergeants with swords, who looked naturally extraordinary, but also made those guests feel a little uncomfortable. And the smiles on the faces of those Yuanfang Pavilion girls also became somewhat reluctant.

Because compared with those soldiers of the forbidden army who only stood in the distance of the periphery and played a protective role, the four soldiers with knives who came with Zhao Zhan all showed an extremely obvious threat, and it could even be said to be murderous.

How could the guests and the girls not be frightened, even frightened, when such a person suddenly appeared beside him?

Fortunately, Liao Jingdong stepped forward in time, gave Han Bing and Zhao Zhan to the VIP seats that had been prepared for them a long time ago, and invited them to take their seats. And the four sergeants with knives all stood behind Zhao Zhan, posing as a guard for their own soldiers.

The ring of the competition is located on the opposite side of the VIP seat, which is only a dozen zhang away, but it gives people a sense of being out of reach, because the distance of more than ten zhang is actually half a lake.

This lake, known as Yanqi Lake, is an artificial lake formed by water from the Jingyang River outside the city. Its lake surface is only dozens of zhang wide, but the entire Yuanfang Pavilion is naturally divided into two areas, north and south.

On the south shore of Yanqi Lake is the welcome building of the three-storey Yuanfang Pavilion built near the lake, which is the main place to entertain guests on weekdays. Sitting on the welcome floor, open the north window, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the lake at any time.

The north shore of Yanqi Lake is actually the back garden of Yuanfang Pavilion. In a bamboo forest and fragrant grass, there are more than a dozen quiet and unique small buildings of all sizes scattered in a patchwork, and the girls of Yuanfang Pavilion live in them.

Between the welcome building and the small building where the girls live, although there is a whole Yanqi Lake, the actual distance is not too far, and it is extremely convenient to come and go. Because on both sides of the lakeshore, there are exquisite verandahs and passages to communicate, and there is also a seven-hole white marble bridge across the north and south of Yanqi Lake.

On the east side of the seven-hole stone bridge, there is a small island in the middle of the lake, which is called an outlying island. This outlying island is only a few zhang in circumference, and some flowers and trees are planted on it for people to see. Because it is in the middle of the lake, it is more than ten zhang away from the nearest south shore, and most people can only take the flower boat on the lake to board this outlying island, which also makes it a good scenery to play.

It's a pity that this outlying island was favored by Liao Jingdong and used it as the ring of this Yuanfang martial arts competition. So, he ordered the trees on the island to be cut down, and then the entire upper part of the island was flattened, and a layer of bluestone with a neat surface polished very evenly and finely was laid on it, and it was transformed into a huge circular stone platform five or six feet high above the water.

The stone platform is surrounded by a half-human-high jade railing on all sides, which is supposed to be intended for ordinary tourists who climb the stone platform out of curiosity, in case they stumble and fall from it.

The slopes on the north and south sides of the platform are carved with stone steps for going up and down, and some flowers and plants are planted around the slopes, which are not only a nice decoration, but also do not obscure the view of distant viewers.

At first glance, the ring may seem like a crudely makeshift remodeling. However, in fact, there is a great intention of the designer hidden in it.

The first thing that stands out is the location of the ring.

Located in the middle of the lake and surrounded by water, there are only two ways for contestants to get into the ring: one is to take a flower boat on the lake, and the other is to fly across the lake with their light body skills. In this way, the superior judgment was made, and the former lost a game in light work.

The second noteworthy aspect is that the chosen location of the ring is still the same.

It is more than ten feet away from the shore, which is an extremely safe distance for all the guests watching the competition.

Although it is clearly stated in the first clause of the rules of martial arts, the life of the opponent must not be intentionally harmed. However, this is only a restrictive provision, and does not really have a protective effect.

After all, this is two martial arts masters fighting, fists and feet, and swords at the same time. Throughout the competition, no one can predict whether there will be an unintentional or intentional miss, resulting in bloodshed or even serious injury and death.

Once this happens, it is difficult to guarantee the safety of the contestants in the ring, but the safety of the guests is relatively safe. Because of such a long distance, no matter how strong the strength and sharp the blade are, it does not pose any threat to the guests watching the competition from the seats.

After thinking about it carefully, the last noteworthy point is the location of this ring.

The guests gathered around the lakeshore could clearly see the two people competing in the ring. But if anyone wants to break the rules of the competition and secretly help any of the players in the competition, they can't do it. However, on the other hand, if one of the contestants has evil intentions and wants to kill his opponent, others will not have time to stop him.

But then again, although there are a lot of people who pay attention to this martial arts, there are really very few people who can really think with their brains and can think of so many people. The vast majority of the guests who came to watch this martial arts competition were just in an excited and blind mood, waiting to witness this martial arts grand occasion that had not been encountered for nearly 20 years.

It is precisely because everyone is looking forward to the upcoming martial arts competition, and even with the performance of the popular girls of Yuanfang Pavilion at the beginning, they also showed extraordinary enthusiasm. Throughout the performance, cheers and applause continued one after another, and everyone's faces were filled with an expression that was half crazy, half intoxicated.

And this extremely warm atmosphere reached a boiling state in an instant when Miss Qingluo first appeared on the stage.

Especially when everyone noticed that the Qingluo girl, who has always only liked to wear cyan plain dresses, actually wore a cyan power suit today, looking strong and graceful. I saw that she swept her eyebrows, and her beautiful and delicate face was also a little more heroic.

The jade fingers of the Qingluo girl first plucked a few times on the pipa in her arms, and then the slender fingers moved, sonorously playing, the sound was clear and flying, and there was a faint wind and thunder. Listening carefully, what she played turned out to be an impassioned "Chivalrous Journey"!

With this blood-boiling song "Chivalrous Journey", Han Bing and Zhao Zhan got up from their seats at the same time and went straight to the south shore of Yanqi Lake.

This also summons that the first martial arts competition of the Yuanfang Club is finally about to begin.
