Chapter Twenty-Seven: Equal
The next morning, the edge of the West Lake is very lively, because the Jiangnan Academy's sword conference and poetry conference have long been famous, so every time the conference arrives, the tourists of the West Lake will also increase a lot, of course, among these tourists, there are also a lot of young girls, they are coming to the talented people of the Jiangnan Academy! Of course, the sword competition of the talented people is also very attractive, after all, ordinary people are afraid that it is difficult to have the opportunity to see such a wonderful competition in their lives, especially these people who compete in the sword are still beautiful sons, not people in the rivers and lakes.
Each of the eighteen academies has one person to participate in the sword competition on behalf of the college, due to the small number of people, there is only one ring, and the fate of each contestant is also determined by drawing lots, if you are unlucky, you will be ruthlessly eliminated in the first round of the competition. Of course, the losing players will continue to draw lots to determine the rankings. Therefore, if you lose in the first round, your best result is only 10th place.
And if you are lucky, if you encounter weak opponents in a row, then you still have a chance to enter the top five, but this probability is very small, and the people sent by each academy to participate in the competition are not weak.
The scene of the sword conference attracted thousands of tourists, and the whole West Lake was crowded, especially those girls, who were looking forward to the talent in their hearts to win in the competition, of course, they hoped to meet the talent in their hearts by the West Lake, and deduce a story of a talented and beautiful woman.
The organizers of the conference are served by the eighteen academies in turn, and the turn of this conference is the famous Bailudong Academy, the history of this academy can be traced back to the Southern Tang Dynasty, to the Southern Song Dynasty Chunxi six years, the master of science Zhu Xi knew the Southern Kangjun, led a hundred officials to visit the academy, when the academy was ruined and broken, overgrown with weeds. Zhu Xi was very sorry and ordered the officials to repair the White Deer Cave Academy, and appointed himself as the owner of the cave, formulated religious rules, hired teachers, recruited students, allocated farmland, and worked hard to manage it.
At that time, the famous philosopher Lu Xiangshan also came to Bailudong Academy to give lectures. Zhu Xi's "Revelation of the White Deer Cave Academy" has influenced later generations for hundreds of years, and its school-running model has been emulated by later generations and is well-known overseas. At this moment, the cave master of the White Deer Cave Academy is already Chen Chun, a disciple of Zhu Xi.
Chen Chun is an old man of about fifty years old, with a slightly chubby figure and a long black beard, which adds a bit of Confucian temperament to him. As the organizer of this conference, he first announced the rules of the competition, then announced the results of the lottery just now, and finally said some words of encouragement.
However, the audience is more interested in the next competition! Because the two sides of the first competition are Yunmeng Academy and Wenshan Academy! This is a competition with almost no suspense. Because many people know that the disciples sent by Yunmeng Academy, but the gentleman Jian Nalan Ruoming, who has won the list of the Sword Conference for three consecutive years, has a family heirloom swordsmanship, coupled with an elegant and chic image, I don't know how many Huaichun girls have been attracted, and it can be said that he is an idol-level talent!
On the other hand, Wenshan Academy has already withered in talent, and it has been at the bottom of the Sword Conference for a long time! The audience has long had no expectations for Wenshan Academy, and this time they met the extremely powerful Yunmeng Academy in the first round, and it can be said that all the audience is not optimistic about Wenshan Academy.
Including Chen Chun, he shook his head and sighed: "Okay, I invite the disciples of the first round of the competition to come to the stage, Nalan Ruoming from Yunmeng Academy, Ling Lingqi from Wenshan Academy, you must remember that the competition is only for exchanges and exchanges, don't hurt people, everything is over!"
Nalan Ruoming really deserves to be the eye of the three times, I saw him with long hair, a cyan scarf, wearing a gorgeous costume, a handsome young man, as soon as he appeared, he attracted a lot of screams from young girls! And Nalan Ruoming's way of going on stage was also extremely chic, the three-foot high platform seemed to be like flat ground in front of him, I saw him jump lightly, and he floated into the ring. At this time, he did not forget to greet the audience around him!
"It's actually an idol-level handsome guy!It seems that you are destined to be my touchstone today!" Ling Lingqi said secretly.
When Ling Lingqi appeared, his way was not as chic as Nalan Ruoming, firstly, his age seemed to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, and secondly, the way he came to the stage was to use his feet to pedal the pillars of the ring, and after a few steps, he got into the ring with the help of strength, of course, he did not perform as well as Nalan Ruoming. However, Guoshu is not originally used for performance, so naturally it will not pay too much attention to whether it looks good or not!
The two sides stood three feet apart, Nalan Ruoming was tall, more than half a head taller than Ling Lingqi, he said with some disdain: "Ling Lingqi, I see that you are still young, and I can't bear to bully you, it is better for you to take the initiative to admit defeat, so as not to lose face, what do you think?"
Ling Lingqi smiled and said, "Senior Brother Nalan, although you are taller and older than me, how do you know that you will definitely be able to defeat me?"
Nalan Ruoming shook his head and said, "Okay, since you insist on comparing, then competing! I'll let you make three moves, you can attack me!"
Ling Lingqi didn't dare to be careless, he immediately collected his mind and focused all his attention on the competition, he pulled out his long sword, but it was the scholar swordsmanship of Wenshan Academy. First, he wants to test Nalan Ruoming's swordsmanship first, and secondly, he also wants to use scholarly swordsmanship to confuse his opponent, and when the opponent underestimates the enemy, he will use Taiji swordsmanship unexpectedly, so that the chance of winning is greater, after all, he still doesn't know much about Nalan Ruoming's swordsmanship?
Ling Lingqi stabbed several swords in a row, but was skillfully avoided by Nalan Ruoming, his elegant body attracted a burst of cheers from the girls in the audience, at this time Nalan Ruoming was even more proud, and at the same time he was even more contemptuous, it turned out that Wenshan Academy sent Ling Lingqi, a half-sized son, just to lose not too embarrassing, because Ling Lingqi was still very young after all.
The three moves have passed, and Nalan Ruoming is no longer just evading, he wants to end the battle quickly! Ling Lingqi's sword is faster than a sword, although he uses scholarly swordsmanship, he is much more clever than the other disciples of Wenshan Academy, at this time, Nalan Ruoming let out a slight "huh", and then turned with the sword, hurriedly walked to the side, launched a Jingqi move, and attacked Ling Lingqi.
Ling Lingqi was not in a hurry, he wanted to see how Nalan Ruoming's family heirloom swordsmanship was, so the two of them fought back and forth like this! At this time, Nalan Ruoming found that Ling Lingqi's opponent seemed to be quite powerful, although he was only using the scholarly swordsmanship, which was not in the stream, but he could fight with him on a par and not fall behind!
Nalan Ruoming's family swordsmanship is known for its strange moves and swiftness, and the scholar's swordsmanship is to open and close to imply Haoran righteousness, in an instant, the two have fought more than 30 moves, Nalan Ruoming's long sword is a dip and go, so the audience is addicted, and those infatuated girls are cheering for Nalan Ruoming.
