Chapter 18: Dabi II
Since receiving the master's personal consent to participate in the martial arts competition, Qin Fengming has practiced martial arts even harder, leaving early and returning late, rain or shine, without interruption.
The sun and the moon shuttle, the flowers bloom and fall, and the days pass for months before you know it.
It was getting closer and closer to the day of the Hundred Refining Hall martial arts competition, and the other disciples who had entered the same school as Qin Fengming had also known about the martial arts competition, but they were all told that they were not allowed to participate in this year's martial arts competition, but they could only go to watch it then, and all the disciples were very discouraged.
But when they think about it, they are relieved, they have only been in Luoxia Valley for three years, compared to those disciples who have been training for six or seven years, the gap between them can be imagined.
In this competition, all the disciples in the Hundred Refining Hall in the past will participate, and the total number of people is sixty or seventy, some have been beginners for four or five years, and some have been beginners for eight or nine years, from fifteen or sixteen years old to about twenty disciples.
If you want to get a good result in the competition, the difficulty is really not small, Qin Fengming didn't take this to heart, and still practiced martial arts diligently every day.
Finally, on the day of the competition, a young man in a green shirt took Qin Fengming and the others to a big valley. This valley is very vast, and there are ten high stone platforms in the valley, each of which is several zhang wide and narrow.
At this time, there were already many disciples in the valley, one wave from the east and one wave from the west, gathered together, talking to each other. All around were young men in green shirts and brown robes, these people, Qin Fengming had never seen before, and they should be elite disciples of maintaining order.
Looking at the disciples gathered in the middle of the valley, all of them were dressed in gray, Qin Fengming judged that these disciples should all participate in this competition.
When they arrived, there were more than 20 people on the high platform in the middle, and the master Zhang Tang Master was also seated in it.
At this time, Elder Wang, who was originally in charge of the selection of new disciples, walked to the front of the stage and said loudly: "The disciples who participated in the competition this time have all gone to this stage to receive the number plate, and in the future, they will be caught and tested according to the number plate." As he spoke, he pointed to a high platform.
His voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
Qin Fengming saw that all the disciples who participated in the competition walked up to the high platform one after another, and when they came down, they were all holding a bamboo plaque with a number written on it. So, under the surprised gaze of Duan Meng and the others, he also followed behind the disciples of the competition and also walked onto the high platform.
It may be that Hall Master Zhang has already informed the people who distribute the number plates, so he is not surprised that Qin Fengming participated in the competition at such a young age. Holding a sign with number 45 written on one side and his name on the other, he walked among the disciples who participated in the competition.
Duan Meng and the others were very surprised to see that Qin Fengming was going to participate in the big competition, but when they saw Qin Fengming's calm appearance, they all didn't come over to disturb him.
Seeing that all the disciples had received their number plates, Elder Wang continued:
"The disciples who received the number plate heard clearly, disciples 1 to 8 went to the 1st platform, disciples 9 to 16 went to the 2nd platform, 17 to 24 to 3, and so on. Zuihou No. 57 to No. 62 to No. 8 high platform. Four disciples from each high platform will participate in the next round of competition. ”
When all the disciples heard this, they all lowered their heads to confirm the number plate in their hands again, making sure that they were going to the high platform, and at the same time paying attention to the powerful opponents they might encounter, and kept looking at the opponents so that they could prepare in advance.
After a pause, Elder Wang said:
"Each disciple on the high platform, according to the smallest trumpet and the largest trumpet, the second trumpet and the second large trumpet, and so on, catch and compare. The four who won the game will try again, and the two who win will automatically advance. The four who failed also caught the competition, the two who won and the two who failed in the winner's group caught the competition again, and the two who won again Zuihou advanced. If you have any questions, you can ask the person who presides over the high platform, and they have their own arrangements. All right, go to your own high platform. ”
Qin Fengming held the number plate in his hand, saw that there were forty-five numbers written on it, and after thinking about it, he came to the high platform marked with six characters, and at this time, there was already a young man in brown clothes standing on the high platform.
At this time, Duan Meng and more than a dozen disciples who came with him came to the high platform where he was, shouting to cheer him on.
When the brown-shirted young man saw that all eight of them had arrived at the high platform, he said:
"Compete with the same door, stop at the point, do not easily hurt people's lives, if you violate, you will be severely punished. Okay, the forty-first and forty-eighth came to the stage, the forty-second and forty-seventh were ready, and the rest of the people retreated to the side and waited. ”
As soon as the words fell, two people walked up to the high platform and handed the number plate to the young man in the brown shirt. looked at the number plates of the two, nodded at the two, and then said, "You can officially compete now." ”
The two men bowed to the young man, looked at each other, both of them hugged their fists at each other, and then waved their jiashi, one of them with a knife and the other with a sword. As soon as they came up, they made each other's tricks and fought together.
Qin Fengming watched the two of them compete, and with a cup of tea, he could tell the level of their martial arts. Judging from the purity of the two people's tricks and their experience in dealing with the enemy, the person who used the knife was slightly higher, and he secretly judged that it would not take long to distinguish the winner from the loser.
As he expected, it didn't take long for the disciple with the sword to restrain the disciple with the sword and win the competition.
The winner happily bowed to the brown-shirted youth, and then jumped off the stone platform, and the loser looked a little ashamed, and after bowing, he also jumped off the high platform.
At this time, two more people ascended the high platform. The weapons used by both men were wooden clubs. Qin Fengming looked at the tricks of the two of them, and knew that these two of them were all one strength to ten meetings, and they both had amazing strength, and they wanted to defeat their opponents with this.
In this kind of fight, the two sides consume their physical strength very quickly, and it doesn't take long for the two to decide the winner.
The third pair of people on the field, the difference in strength is huge, and it only takes a moment of effort, and the person who uses his fists and feet to take down the opponent's spear, and the victory is effortless.
Qin Fengming admired the person who used his fists and feet, he didn't use weapons, he only used a pair of palms to face the enemy, only seeing that his tricks were extremely exquisite, and his advance and retreat were well-founded, which gave him a deeper understanding of martial arts.
At this time, only Qin Fengming and the eighteen-nineteen-year-old young man were left before the competition. He unhurriedly climbed the high platform, handed the number plate to the presiding youth, and turned his head to look at the person opposite.
I saw that he was holding a strange weapon with a crescent moon at the bottom and a hook at the front end. Unconsciously a little curious, such a weapon, he had never seen it before, and he was stunned in his heart.
