Chapter 406: A Test of Strength and Wisdom
"Oh, then you have to have this strength first. Say, what kind of test method?" Ding Kui didn't want to say more to Long Shuang.
"Today's day is not easy to use weapons, what you have to test is your strength with your bare hands. Long Shuang took out a stick of incense from his waist, broke it with both hands, broke off two-thirds and threw it away, and took the remaining one-third, "Whoever can force me out of the gate before this incense burns is finished, then you will pass the test." You only have one person and one chance!"
It was obvious that Long Shuang was deliberately making things difficult for Ding Kui, who was originally going to burn the whole incense, but now he had shortened the time to one-third.
The elder of the Long family and Long Kun were observing the situation in front of the door in the courtyard, the clan elder frowned slightly, and said: "What is Long Shuang doing? The test is to go through the motions and show the strength of the children of the Long family, he will destroy today's greeting, and his temper is as stubborn as his grandfather." ”
"Hehe, it's really the grandson of the eldest brother, and the Long family should have such a temper. The kid of the Nading family is not simple, he should be able to speculate on Xiaoshuang's strength, but he is not afraid of facing Xiaoshuang, how can a person without strength have such confidence. That Long Tan is too, he only said that Ding Kui is already a shield breaker knight, and he doesn't know anything else. Long Kun didn't mean much to blame Long Shuang.
"This kid is quite a thief, and he wants to teach him a lesson himself, so he has to give it to Ao Yu. Ding Kui said in his heart. He jumped off his horse, turned to wave to Ao Yu, and shouted, "You come here." ”
Long Shuang's expression froze, and a vigilance rose in his heart: According to the information, the most powerful young generation around Ding Kui is Feng Liang, or himself, why is there suddenly a completely strange young man? Could it be that this person is more powerful than Feng Liang and Ding Kui?
Although he is arrogant, he is not a reckless man, as can be seen from the act of breaking off two-thirds of the incense, he has done intelligence analysis on Ding Kui before.
Ao Yu, who was dressed in a courtesy costume, threw a beautiful front flip forward, winning the applause of the onlookers. When he passed by Ding Kui, Ding Kui threw out a fluttering sentence of "Don't hurt him, just run away", which made him pause in his footsteps, and gently "hummed" in his nose to express his dissatisfaction.
Ao Yu dislikes Long Shuang, a cold and arrogant lord the most, and he will make a heavy hand when he has the opportunity, at least breaking a few bones, and Ding Kui will not let him hurt people, which will naturally cause him to be dissatisfied.
Long Shuang was not far away from them, and clearly heard the conversation and reaction of the two people, so angry that he gritted his gums, took out a fire fold to light the broken incense, and threw it casually, and inserted it into the crack of the door.
When Ao Yu had just stepped on the highest step, Long Shuang's right foot drew a semicircle forward, and his heel stomped on the ground as a fulcrum, his body moved above the fulcrum, twisted his waist violently, and kicked Ao Yu's chest with his left foot.
I saw that the soles of the dragon's feet lit up with a dark red light, and a thin layer of Douqi armor poured out of the center of his foot, wrapping the entire left foot.
Late Shield Breaker!
The people around who knew the goods could see that some of the people who grabbed the gold coins thrown by the welcoming team couldn't help but worry about Ao Yu.
The old man of the courtyard clan was blue-faced, and Long Kun looked thoughtful, and his face gradually became heavy.
There was a snap, a crisp sound, and a figure shot rapidly into the door.
In front of the county guard's mansion, on the steps, everyone only saw Ao Yu's fist closing and standing, but Long Shuang was nowhere to be found.
In the front yard of the county guard's mansion, there were a few children of the Long family who were close to the door, and they were knocked over one after another by the figures shot into the door.
The green shadow flashed, Long Kun rushed to the place where the figure landed, stretched out his hand to help up the person who shot into the door, and asked quickly, "Are you hurt?"
Most of the people in the courtyard saw clearly, and it was Long Shuang who fell into the door, barely standing up on one foot with Long Kun's support. The sole of his left foot, which was lifted in the air, had a shallow hole in it, and it looked like a fist print.
"My left foot is numb and I don't feel anything, but it's okay elsewhere. Long Shuang tried to land on the tip of his left foot, but he couldn't use any strength.
Long Kun reached out and pinched Long Shuang's left foot a few times, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's okay, your muscles and bones haven't been used to it for the time being, and you can recover in a while." People are merciful, and the kung fu in this hand is at its peak, and I am not as good as him. ”
Long Shuang looked at Ao Yu outside the door with shocked eyes, but he didn't expect Long Kun to think that he was inferior to someone who was about the same age as himself.
It is not clear how many people inside the gate can see Ao Yu's movements clearly, only Tao Mu and Ding Kui can see clearly outside the door. After Ao Yu climbed the steps, he only threw a punch, hitting the soles of Long Shuang's feet with a speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye, dispersing the Dou Qi armor on the spot and piercing the soles of his shoes.
Ding Kui's eyes only saw that Ao Yu's fist and the soles of Long Shuang's feet had touched once, but his mental power detected that Ao Yu's fists hit the soles of Long Shuang's feet twice, and Tao Mu saw it very reluctantly, just like Long Kun inside the door.
Ao Yu wiped his right fist with his left hand, and after confirming that his right fist was free of dust, he turned around and walked back behind Ding Kui.
The voices inside and outside the gate of the county guard seemed to freeze, and everyone could only hear their own breathing.
Suddenly, I don't know who shouted "yes" first, and opened the floodgates of people's emotional catharsis, and everyone cheered loudly, and then thunderous applause rang out.
Long Shuang, the late shield-breaking knight, is already shocking, the Ding family's maiden is about the same age as him, and he actually knocked him away with just one punch, so how strong is this young maiden minister!
Zheng Yun, Xu Bin, Jiang Cao and Jiang Yu in the welcoming team widened their eyes and opened their mouths wide, looking at the concubine who was following Ding Kui, they all couldn't believe their eyes. One punch knocked away Long Shuang, who was fourth in the last national competition, no wonder Ding Kui was willing to bow down.
Long Kun asked Long Shuang to help him go, and shouted in a low voice, "Go on!" and walked towards the depths of the courtyard.
A young disciple of the Long family ran outside the gate and shouted at Ding Kui, "The new aunt of the Ding family, please come in!"
Ding Kui checked his outfit and found no problems, so he walked into the county guard mansion from the middle of the gate with his head held high.
Ao Yu followed behind Ding Kui coolly, calmly accepting the hot eyes looking at him.
Ding Zhong drove the carriage to the side of the gate, Ding Xiao and Biya split off from the left and right, and Ding Fen trotted and followed Ao Yu's ass closely.
The rest of the welcoming team dismounted one after another, and the flag bearer inserted the flag in his hand on the flagpole stand outside the door, and lined up outside the door and entered from both sides of the gate.
When they came to the front yard of the Long Mansion, the children of the Long family were all standing against the wall, vacating the open space in the middle of the front yard. Ding Kui found a large cauldron set up in the center of the clearing, and the bottom of the pot was full of firewood, and Long Tan was standing next to the pot with a torch.
"No, do you want to use such earthy tricks against me?" Ding Kui secretly thought, and did not stop under his feet, came to Long Tan, and asked, "Uncle, tester?"
Long Tan's face was complicated, and he said carefully: "Your husband is so fierce, why didn't you see him in your mansion that day?"
"Hehe, you're running too fast to introduce you. Ding Kui replied with a smile.
"Uh, hey, I wanted to see how you got the dragon double at the first hurdle, and it turned out to be such a result. If he doesn't break that incense, will you make a move?" Long Tan held back for months just to see Ding Kui and Long Shuang fight, and the elders in the family asked Ding Kui vaguely.
"I'm in a hurry. Ding Kui was a pun.
"Ah, yes, that's right, I'm a tester of courage, and this hurdle depends on your courage. Long Tan tapped the bottom of the pot with a torch, "This pot is full of oil, and a few copper plates are thrown into it, and you or your entourage must find a copper plate from the pot when the oil boils, so that you can pass the test of courage." ”
Ding Kui sniffed vigorously a few times, and said with a blank face: "I want to discuss it with them." ”
"Whatever, for the sake of my brother-in-law's face, you can discuss it for as long as you want. Long Tan said as he threw the torch into the firewood and smiled smugly, "However, I advise my brother-in-law to hurry up, the oil will soon boil." ”
Ding Kui, who was walking back, stumbled when he heard this, almost didn't stand firm, and took a step forward to stabilize his figure.
Well, it's almost, the play should be in place. Playing this hand with a science student, I'll have to play with you in a different way.
Ding Kui tried to hold back a smile and not let the people around him see it.
Except for the carriage trio guarding the door, the welcoming team all walked into the front yard, looking at the fire at the bottom of the pot, and their faces were worried.
Ding Fen looked at Ding Kui who was walking towards her, her eyes flickered, and she deliberately avoided Ding Kui's gaze, "Young Master, you don't want to sacrifice Xiaohua, do you?" she said to Ding Kui who was standing beside her with a bitter face.
Ding Kui gently stroked Ding Fen's little head and said in a very low voice: "It's okay, that pot of oil is fake, it doesn't look hot at all when it looks boiling." This time, I let our little flower show her face and let everyone know that Ding Fen is the bravest little girl. ”
"Really, you won't lie to me, will you?" Ding Fen looked up at Ding Kui, "The kung fu taught by the master is all in his hands." ”
"I'll give you a packed ticket, and you'll be fine. For a moment I pretended to touch the copper plate myself, and when I got to the front of the pot, you rushed over and yelled for help, and then I just felt for a copper plate in the pot. Ding Kui said with a sad look on his face.
"Is it really okay?, isn't there any reward for letting Xiaohua take such a big risk?" Ding Fen except for his mother, Ding Kui's most trusted is Ding Kui, but the old problem is the same for everyone.
"Fifty gold coins. ”
"Deal. ”
"Roll up your sleeves for me. Ding Kui stretched out his right hand to Ding Fen, and Ding Fen quickly rolled up his sleeves for him.
In the eyes of the Long family, Ding Kui was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, and finally made a decision to personally challenge the hurdle of courage.
Ding Kui took resolute steps and walked steadily towards the oil pot step by step.
At this time, the oil in the pot has boiled, and the surface of the oil layer is tumbling and jumping.
Ding Kui stood still in front of the oil pot and raised his right hand high.
Some people in the welcoming team wanted to rush out, but they were intercepted by Ao Yu one by one, and Ding Fen was the only one missing.
"Young master, don't, let me come!" a girl's voice suddenly sounded with a little poignant.
