Chapter 53: Trickery
Although Shan Chao has been in the Western Regions for a long time and rarely set foot in the Central Plains, Wangchengguan has been famous since the revitalization of Liu Laomeng, and Shan Chao also knows a lot about the generations of Wangchengguan's disciples. At this time, hearing Zhong Yunlang claiming to be a disciple www.biquge.info of the word 'cloud', he couldn't help but be stunned.
Liu Lao's alliance leader has long passed away, and under him, there are still three generations of Wangchengguan. In the first generation, Zhang Boduan's martial arts were ranked as one of the 'Four Divine Powers', and Liu Zhongyuan's swordsmanship was superb and unparalleled in the world. However, in recent years, the two of them have rarely been heard of on the rivers and lakes. In addition, there seems to be another person who is a woman, and the Central Plains Wulin still doesn't know much about her identity, and Shan Chao has been in the Western Regions for a long time, and he doesn't know it.
Further down is the disciple of the word 'Ji', who is now in charge of Liu Jichang, and Yan Jiping, the elder of the sword, is this generation. This generation is the pillar of Wangchengguan today, and most of the other heads of the other factions in the Central Plains are also friends with Liu Zhangjiao's generation. Except for a few senior monks in Shaolin, this generation is almost the mainstay of the major factions in the Central Plains.
Further down are the disciples of the 'cloud' generation, except for the eldest disciple Li Yunfeng, who is young and old, and has made great achievements with internal swordsmanship, there are no outstanding people among the remaining disciples.
This young man with a negative sword in a pear blossom white robe, with extraordinary bearing and exquisite footwork, actually said that he was a disciple of the word "cloud", could it be that the dragon and the crouching tiger were really hidden in the view of the city?
......
This light power competition is not only faster and farther, but also the key to the competition, and the so-called 'green clouds go straight up' is this meaning. Therefore, this competition is divided into two games: "high" and "far".
First than "high".
A long bamboo pole was erected in the middle of the field, saying that it was one, but not one. In fact, this bamboo pole is made up of long poles connected by one another, and is more than 100 feet high. There is a red ribbon tied to the clubhead, and whoever can jump up and take off first will win. However, when you kick the pole on your feet, you must not touch the bamboo pole, and whoever kicks the bamboo pole down will be considered a loser.
Shan Chao looked at the red ribbon fluttering in the wind in the field, without distractions, and was ready to go. 'Zhong Yunlang' is thinking far away. He thought of the 'off' position in the Golden Scale Array, where the trees seemed to be taller, and the canopy was like a great eagle flying through the sky. But with a light smoke, you can easily jump on the back of the carving, and it is not difficult to get on this hundred-foot bamboo pole.
......
Five drums sounded, three feather arrows rushed up to the sky, accompanied by the sound of 'whooshing', two people from each of Kunlun Wangcheng, standing at the four corners of the square. The starter of this third formation is the leader of the beggar gang Jiang. I only heard him shout, and his voice was like a huge thunder: "The two sides are down, the heroes are silent, and the third battle is open!"
As soon as the end of the word 'open' fell, Shan Chao's feet suddenly burst into strength, and he rushed to the bamboo pole. Although Zhong Yunlang seemed to be careless before, this battle was not trivial, this order, Zhong Yunlang's thoughts were immediately closed, and he jumped to the bamboo pole with light smoke under his feet.
The two started almost at the same time in the eyes of outsiders, but after all, there was a sequence, although Zhong Yunlang collected his mind in time, he was always a moment slower. The slightest difference between masters and masters is related to victory or defeat in life and death. Shan Chao is slightly ahead, and naturally it is close to the bamboo pole first.
However, there is a term called, "last mover first come", which is very appropriate here. "Zhong Yunlang" is the last to come!
Although Shan Chao approached the bamboo pole before him, when Zhong Yunlang stepped on the bamboo pole for the first time, he was five inches higher than Shan Chao.
The Kunlun disciples' eyes widened, as if they felt that everything in front of them was unbelievable. How can the Left Protector, who is the No. 1 in light skills, make people preempt the height of five inches? Looking at the city, the disciples of the younger generations were full of surprise, and they all praised it in their hearts, who is this junior disciple, who is so good at light skills? Is it the disciple of the real person in charge? How come he has never seen it before?
There are many surprised people in the entire Wangcheng Temple, but the most surprised is Shan Chao.
However, what surprised Shan Chao was not the height of the five inches, but Zhong Yunlang's light footwork. If you want to be the last to come first, you must be impatient in your heart, but this 'Zhong Yunlang' seems to do it casually, effortlessly, when you step on the bamboo pole, the hundred-foot-high bamboo pole does not have the slightest swaying, obviously the heart is like water.
Shan Chao's heart sank, the young skills of this pear blossom white robe are not only above me, but also far superior! Thinking about it in his heart, his skills are inevitably impure, one lost his mind, stepped heavily under his feet, and the bamboo pole shook violently and began to tilt. Shan Chao hurriedly stretched out the toe of his right foot, gently hooked the shaft back, and the internal strength penetrated the instep to stabilize the bamboo pole.
Zhong Yunlang's figure did not stagnate, and the moment Shan Chao stabilized the bamboo pole, he had already jumped up a lot.
The ultra-light skill alone was already inferior to him, and this time he couldn't catch up with him, seeing that this competition 'Zhong Yunlang' was won. Mu Wang Ye and Yan Jiping glanced at each other, smiling, and they were both very happy. Although Liu Jichang felt that the impostor was not very glorious, after all, this battle was related to the century-old reputation of Wangchengguan, and it was the first battle sent by Kunlun to the Central Plains.
Shan Chao saw that there was no hope of catching up with him, and he was even more anxious. Although this bamboo pole is 100 feet high, with Zhong Yunlang's fast steps, the winner will be decided in less than a moment. didn't have to think about it, Shan Chao's left foot kicked violently on the bamboo pole, and the bamboo pole tilted down violently, almost touching the ground. Shan Chao hooked the toe of his right foot and hooked the bamboo pole back. In the middle of this kick, it is obvious that the superior internal strength has been used.
He made the bamboo pole tilt and swing so dramatically that it was to stop Zhong Yunlang from ascending. Sure enough, the bamboo pole fell up and down, Zhong Yunlang's footsteps stopped a little, and he stayed in place and kept flipping in order to stabilize his body.
Shan Chao took advantage of this gap to jump up a little, and when he saw Zhong Yunlang stabilize his figure, he was busy and repeated. Then make the bamboo pole tilt back and forth, and then find the gap where Zhong Yunlang stopped to deal with it, and jumped up an inch. If he goes down like this, Zhong Yunlang will eventually catch up.
Yan Jiping was annoyed in his heart: "Isn't this cheating for using internal strength to block people from going up!"
However, someone on the sidelines had already spoken before him: "Hehe, Kunlun has sent this internal strength to show its internal strength? Isn't the first battle already compared? Your right protector of the Dharma was defeated by Liu Zhangjiao, like a water dog! Now that the field is more light than the light skill, it has made internal strength again, and the Kunlun faction will be shameless!" The sound of shouting and scolding resounded throughout the audience, and the sound of the bamboo stick in his hand knocking on the ground was even more majestic. This person is none other than the beggar gang elder Qin, and the beggar gang elder is so uneven, this is the common sense of the rivers and lakes. What's more, Elder Qin and Zhong Yunlang fell in love, this matter is not only about Zhong Yunlang, but this injustice is even more indispensable.
Zhong Yunlang was very happy when he heard Elder Qin stand up and speak for him, and said loudly: "Thank you Elder Qin for your help, but don't worry, he is cheating, and I am not afraid!"
Shan Chao heard Elder Qin drinking beside him, and listened to Zhong Yunlang speak like this, he couldn't help but feel a wave of shame in his heart, the dignified Kunlun Left Protector, boasting that he was the first in the world in light skills, and when he competed with this junior disciple, he had to use superior internal strength in order to win, and it was indeed embarrassing to say it. Hesitation in my heart, slight slowing down in my feet.
Zhong Yunlang's figure moved, and he jumped up again, and the red silk was close at hand.
Zhang Ning saw that the left protector had lost, and he couldn't sit still in the field, and at this time, seeing that Zhong Yunlang was about to win, he hurriedly said to Zhang Bao: "Zhang Bao, quickly release Tie Bodhi and beat that little Taoist." Zhang Bao stood up as he said, and the three 'Iron Bodhi' held in his hand shot out.
Zhong Yunlang was about to reach out to pick the red satin, when an iron Bodhi shot out, sticking to Zhong Yunlang's fingertips, Zhong Yunlang had to withdraw his hand. Then two more iron Bodhi hit, one hit Zhong Yunlang's left foot, and the other hit Zhong Yunlang's right knee, both asking him to leave the bamboo pole to dodge.
Zhong Yunlang saw that Tie Bodhi was in a hurry, reached out and grabbed the bamboo pole, dodged with his legs, and let go of the two Tie Bodhi. Zhong Yunlang's hands are no better than his feet, and as soon as he reached out and grabbed it, the bamboo pole immediately tilted. Zhong Yunlang hurriedly turned his head in the air, and stepped lightly on the bamboo pole with both feet, so that he could barely stabilize the bamboo pole.
Before he could catch his breath, Zhang Bao's iron Bodhi shot out again, heading straight for Zhong Yunlang. Elder Qin scolded, "Shameless!" waved a bamboo stick, going to intercept Zhang Bao's Iron Bodhi. But Zhang Bao is a master of making secret weapons, his techniques are unique, and the direction is also varied, although the bamboo stick in Elder Qin's hand dances fast, but it always makes Tie Bodhi leak under the stick. Zhong Yunlang dodged on the bamboo pole again and again, and the bamboo pole swayed.
Elder Qin hurriedly scolded: "Shameless dogs!
Zhang Bao smiled proudly: "Dogs, you stopped me, Tie Bodhi." If I'm a dog, you can't stop the secret weapon I sent, aren't you even as good as a dog?" As he spoke, the iron Bodhi in his hand had already shot out again.
Suddenly, in the crowd, a person shouted: "The third variant of 'Fan Xue Slaughtering Dog', hit to the right!" Hearing these words, Elder Qin was full of confidence, and unconsciously acted according to his words, and with a bang, he actually knocked down the iron Bodhi. Elder Qin was overjoyed and looked into the crowd, but he couldn't find anyone who spoke.
In the field, Zhong Yunlang was not disturbed by Tie Bodhi, he jumped intently, stretched out his hand, and pulled the red ribbon off with a 'stab' sound. With a slight tap of the toe on the bamboo pole, he has turned over and landed steadily in the field.
The gongs and drums rang out in unison, the crowd cheered, and the venue was boiling. The disciples of the Kunlun faction were disgraced and silent. Zhang Ning shouted loudly: "This is just higher than 'high', and there is 'far'? Stinky Taoist priests, why are you happy to do so early?"
Jiang Kuang, as the commander of this field, has not said a word since the beginning of the competition, and only then did he speak: "There are many tricks, and you can't win, what face do you have to say loudly here!" The voice is not very domineering, but it has its own majesty. Zhang Ning had to keep silent when he heard this.
Shan Chao slowly stepped down from the bamboo pole, walked to Zhong Yunlang's side, and saluted with a fist: "The future is terrifying, Shan Mou has learned today." You are too light to beat me, and the word 'far' does not need to be compared. But I am entrusted by the head of the house, but this array is not comparable. Even if I am ruined, I must win this scene with the word 'far'!"
Zhong Yunlang listened to the meaning of unscrupulous means in his words, his eyebrows furrowed, and his heart was arrogant.
"I should be with you to the end!"
