Chapter 36 The Flag Bearer

Just after this hour, the snow has not yet melted away, but the square has been cleaned properly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The disciples of the thirty-six Taoist temples in the south of Wangchengguan were all dressed neatly and gathered in the square in front of the main hall to practice swordsmanship. Mu Wang Ye saw that the group was one move and one style, the foundation was solid, the long sword in his hand danced to the wonderful place, and the cold light was like a starlight falling from the sky. He praised in his heart: "Looking at the disciples under the city, the sword is practiced diligently. Wangcheng swordsmanship is famous all over the world, and naturally there is a reason for it. ”

Zhong Yunlang saw the sword light of the group of Dao dances, and the verdant and cyan Taoist robe moved with the wind, which is quite charming, and he also secretly praised in his heart: "It is the junior disciple in the last row, so that the sword is already good, and the Daoist Liu Hai Toad must be far better than this back then, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to see his demeanor with his own eyes." ”

The two Dao who led the group to practice swords in front should be more qualified, wearing a navy blue robe, but an old and a young. When the two saw the arrival of Prince Mu, they stopped their swords to greet each other, bowed their hands, and said in unison: "Wangcheng Guan Yan Jiping, the junior disciple Li Yunfeng, has seen the prince." ”

Zhong Yunlang wandered the rivers and lakes, he had heard the names of these two people, the old man was Yan Jiping, the current sword-wielding elder of Wangchengguan, and he was the little apprentice of Zhang Boduan, one of the 'four uniques' of the year, and the junior brother of Liu Jichang, who had a strong temperament, jealousy and hatred, and was also quite famous in the rivers and lakes. This young Taoist priest is named Li Yunfeng, who is the earliest among the disciples of the younger generation of Wangchengguan, and has the most refined swordsmanship.

Mu Wang Ye nodded, and praised the two: "Wangcheng Guan swordsmanship is really worthy of its name, and the two sword moves are exquisite...... "Mu Wangye has profound internal skills, smart ears and eyes, and when he spoke, his ears moved slightly, and there was a sneer on his lips, and then said: "The two sword moves are exquisite, better than Kunlun swordsmanship!"

Yan and Li were stunned when they heard the prince suddenly mention Kunlun: "How did you mention Kunlun?"

Zhong Yunlang and Chai Junfei immediately understood that the Kunlunmen people were nearby. The prince deliberately belittled the Kunlun swordsmanship, precisely to lure the snake out of the hole. Zhong Yunlang was ready to go, and Chai Junfei's right hand had also put on the handle of the official knife on his waist.

With a "whoosh" sound, a small pebble broke through the air, traveled to mid-air, turned into four, and struck the four corners of the square. The four large flags in the square fell in response, and all the flagpoles were hit by stones and broke from them. When the disciples in the audience saw the change, they put away their swords and froze, although they were surprised, they did not panic.

Yan Jiping shouted loudly: "Who is the driver, come to me to look at the city and worship the mountain, why hide and hide." If you want to show your kung fu, you need to compete in person. As he spoke, he kicked up a stone. The pebble flew out, and it also traveled into mid-air, turning into four, and striking on the four broken flagpoles. The four-pole flag was shaken by the stones, and then jumped up again, slanting into the snow on the edge of the field.

Although Yan Jiping's skills are not pure, and the four flagpoles are not deep in the snow, they can shake the flagpoles from the ground, which is already amazing. When he saw people throwing stones and destroying flags, he deliberately cut the prestige of looking at the city, so he used this kung fu to deter the visitors.

"Elder Wangcheng Guan Sword Elder really has a hand, but to say that the Kunlun Sword Technique is not as good as the Wangcheng Sword Technique, it is nonsense. Since the sword-wielding elder wants to fight in person, I, the Kunlun Sect, should accompany me. Before the words fell, two people jumped out from the ridge of the main hall. stepped on both ends of the ridge, turned over and went down the hall, and landed in front of Yan Jiping.

A person on the left holds a long sword and bows to Yan Jiping, and a person on the right holds a command flag and stands with his hands in his hands. Zhong Yunlang saw that although the clothes of these two people were blue and purple, their styles were the same as those of the two dementors. Xin said: "These two people should be Zhang Ning and Zhang Bao, the flag envoy of Kunlun Mountain." ”

Yan Jiping replied according to the rules of comparing swords, and said to the person holding the long sword: "If you want to compete, please set the rules first." Do you want to break into my mountain gate with a sword today and challenge the power of my Wangcheng swordsmanship? Or do you want to fight me alone in order to make a name for yourself?" During the Northern Song Dynasty, the battle between the rivers and lakes was often these two types of purposes. The first is to pick another faction and establish authority for the teacher. The second is to become a famous master after defeat, a blockbuster, and show his face on the rivers and lakes.

The man with the long sword smiled lightly and said, "In a few days, the master of this sect will personally come to look at the city, how can he ask me to make a small flag? As soon as he said this, all the disciples present were furious. You must know that Yan Jiping occupies the position of the elder of the sword, and has been famous in the rivers and lakes for a long time, although he is not as good as Liu Zhongyuan, Liu Jichang and others, but he is already one of the best masters in Wangchengguan. At this time, listening to this little Kunlun Mountain flag envoy was so arrogant in his words, how could the group not be angry.

Yan Jiping had a bad temper, and when he heard the words, he jumped and went down to the field. The long sword was horizontal, and he put out the Wangcheng swordsmanship starting style "pushing the boat down the river", and said loudly: "Since this is the case, please ask the prince to be a proof." The man with the long sword also went down to the field, stretched out four fingers, looked around, and said loudly: "Today, Zhang Ning, the flag leader of Kunlun Mountain, and Elder Yan of Wangcheng Guan, if you don't win within four moves, then my Kunlun faction has lost this battle." All of you are witnesses. ”

Everyone was very angry when they heard this, and some were thinking: "This person is too arrogant, he wants to defeat Elder Yan within four moves, but it's really a fool's dream!" Some are thinking: "There are so many of us present, since he himself said that he can't win within four moves, even if Kunlun loses this game, then he can't rely on losing at that time." ”

Chai Junfei didn't say a word, staring at the scene, his right hand still resting on the hilt of the waist knife. The corners of Mu Wangye's eyes were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, but he was quite interested. Zhong Yunlang was up and down in his heart, silently calculating: "Elder Yan's kung fu is far inferior to Daochang Liu. Liu Daochang's last single battle with the soul dementor, although he was defeated by the conspiracy, but in the calculation, Liu Daochang should only be slightly better than the soul dementor. And this Zhang Ning ...... Judging from the arrows thrown at the gate of Xuanwen Hall, the skill should be on par with Liu Daochang. I'm afraid that Elder Yan is really an enemy of him, but at this time, the two of them have already gone down to the field, regardless of victory or defeat, they can't do good, how can this be good?"

was anxious, and the first move of the two people in the field had already made their own shots.

Although Zhang Ning is arrogant and must be superior in swordsmanship, he must win within four moves, after all, he does not dare to ignore it, so he takes the lead. The sword light flashed, and the tip of the sword stabbed to the right front and forced Yan Jiping downward, which was the 'boy offering fruit' in Kunlun swordsmanship. Yan Jiping's hand had already placed the momentum of 'pushing the boat along the river', and when he saw Zhang Ning's long sword stabbed, the blade of the sword was on the tip of his sword, and he pushed it to the side, dissolving Zhang Ning's aggressive move. But although the swordsmanship is wonderful, there is a difference in strength and weakness, Zhang Ning withdrew the sword casually, but Yan Jiping was shocked by the Kunlun sword qi and numb. Everyone silently counted in their hearts: "One move, Elder Yan did not have the upper hand." ”

Yan Jiping's palms were numb, and he knew in his heart that he was not his opponent, but it was a matter of Wangchengguan's reputation, so he had to fight with all his might. Before the soreness of the palm subsided, he jumped up, picked up a sword, and stabbed down. Zhang Ning praised: "What a move, 'White Rainbow through the Sun'." "Saying that the left foot has become a lunge a little forward, and he made a move to 'lift the incense on the stove', the upper body leaned forward slightly, and the left sword pointed forward, which was actually facing the move 'White Rainbow Penetrating the Sun'! This white rainbow penetrating the sun is the most rigid and yang move in Wangcheng's swordsmanship, and Zhang Ning is really guilty of martial arts taboos to meet like this.

Yan Ji said calmly: "You are fighting swords like this, aren't you killing yourself." The true qi in his hand was lucky, and the tip of the sword stabbed downward. Zhang Ning didn't dodge or dodge, but still raised his sword to meet him. The tips of the two swords touched, and Yan Jiping was shocked a few steps away. It turned out that Zhang Ning relied on his skills much higher than Yan Jiping, and he was willing to take great risks to humiliate him in front of everyone. This trick 'White Rainbow Through the Sun' was cracked by Zhang Ning like this, Yan Jiping was full of shame and shamelessness.

Everyone said in their hearts: "It seems that Elder Yan's skill is really very different from him, and it will be difficult to defeat him under the sword." But now that the two moves have passed, as long as Elder Yan fights fast and drags him two moves, it will be regarded as Kunlun's loss. ”
