24. Courtyard Civil War 1 : Begins
Three days are fleeting, and today is the day agreed by both parties. Because the vast majority of the area of Tianqian Yuan is occupied by the Big Bamboo Garden, the result is that because the Small Bamboo Garden is too small, the venue of the competition can only be placed in the Big Bamboo Garden.
The big bamboo garden and the small bamboo garden can be said to be completely different. Although the name of this place is Dazhu Garden, there are very few bamboos in this garden. The ground here is paved with stone bricks, and because the place is large and capricious, there is a large empty martial arts arena in the middle of the garden for the disciples to practice at ordinary times.
In fact, this is something that is available in every courtyard, but the small bamboo garden is too small and there are too few people, unlike the big bamboo garden with more than 100 people, so there is no need for such an open space.
A boxy ring is located in the center of the martial arts arena, and I don't know if it is already there or a new one.
Standing in the ring was an old man with gray hair and beard, an elder sent by the head of the family to be a referee.
The audience was already crowded, but these were basically Dazhuyuan disciples. There are also a very small number of people from other courtyards who come to see the excitement, to put it bluntly, they come to see Qing'er, in their words, if they don't see it this time, they may not be able to see it in the future.
Not far from the ring there is a viewing platform. Two chairs were placed next to each other on the stage, one chair was Qin Guang, and the other chair was Zhuge Qingye, the head of the Tianqian Academy. Behind them all stood their respective disciples, Qin Guang's side was all his disciples, while Zhuge Qingye's side was only four.
Zhuge Qingye smiled and hugged his fists at Qin Guang and said, "Senior brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”
Qin Guang continued his expressionless face, clenched his fists and saluted back: "Senior brother, don't come unharmed." ”
Zhuge Qingye nodded slightly, glanced at all the disciples behind Qin Guang, and finally stopped his gaze on Qing'er, and said: "I heard that the junior brother has accepted two new apprentices in recent years, and now when I see it, it is really the dragon and phoenix among the people, and the name is well deserved." ”
Tianshu quietly observed Zhuge Qingye. First of all, from the conversation between him and Qin Guang, it can be concluded that although their senior brother is the same teacher, their relationship is not good. Because only two unfamiliar people need these empty polite words. Secondly, his eyes obviously only fell on Qing'er, but his words included Tianshu, and it was obvious that he said this for Qing'er. And it was not a secret that Tianshu was unable to cultivate, he must have known it, but he still said that, which could only be explained in one sentence - "Nothing to do, nothing to do, not a traitor or a thief." In the end, a two-word conclusion sums it all up: disgust.
Although Tianshu thought so much in his heart, he was still as calm as water on the surface. He just silently made up his mind in his heart - to be careful about this man.
Quietly unfold his divine consciousness on the viewing platform, capturing a trace of aura emanating from the unconscious in everyone's body. Tianshu sensed the strength of most of the people on the stage, but there were still two, and he couldn't judge them based on his breath alone, they were Qin Guang and Zhuge Qingye.
Tianshu quickly put away his senses, and if he was discovered, it would not be a joke.
Qin Guang replied lukewarmly: "Where, where, senior brother has won the prize." ”
Zhuge Qingye seemed to be very accustomed to Qin Guang's attitude, and still maintained the smile of his courtyard leader. He waved his hand slightly, and the four disciples behind him walked out in turn.
"Go and say hello to the brothers and sisters in Xiaozhuyuan, especially with the two new brothers and sisters, get to know each other more. Although he is about to go to the ring, he is a brother in the same academy after all, so don't shoot too hard when the time comes, remember that friendship comes first, and competition comes second. Zhuge Qingye said loudly, especially the last few words.
Zhu Huan's brows couldn't help frowning. He is different from Tianshu, he has the most anxious temper among the senior brothers, and he has the most no city government, so his mouth is like the sound of a dual-card tape recorder, and as soon as his heart turns, his mouth comes out: "Who beats who is not certain." ”
Tian Li hurriedly pulled Zhu Huan, and Zhu Huan immediately shut up.
"Haha, I admire confident people the most. "It was none other than Zhuge Ming, who was at the head of the four disciples on the side of Dazhuyuan.
Zhuge Ming first saluted Qin Guang, but Qin Guang just nodded lightly. Then, he continued to salute Tian Li and them one by one, and finally when it came to Tianshu and Qing'er, Zhuge Ming spoke: "Senior Brother Tianshu, Senior Sister Qing'er, we meet again." Although he said the names of the two people in his mouth, his eyes were staring directly at Qing'er.
Their father and son are really a virtuous character.
Tianshu pulled Qing'er back, took a step forward by himself, blocked Qing'er behind him, and said politely: "I've seen Senior Brother Zhuge for a few days, and Senior Brother's skills seem to have improved a lot." ”
Zhuge Ming shook his head and sighed: "No matter how good the kung fu is, what's the use, if I can, I'd rather use all my skills in exchange for a smile from the beauty." ”
Tianshu didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he took all of this passage with his signature warm smile, and said as if he hadn't heard anything: "Senior Brother Zhuge is tired of introducing me to several other senior brothers. ”
The smile on Zhuge Ming's face stiffened for a second. made such an affectionate confession, but it was ignored like this. Since he was a child, he couldn't get anything he wanted, with his identity, appearance, and martial arts, which time he didn't go down the mountain and had constant encounters, and which time he didn't get the woman he wanted. If it weren't for Tianshu is big brother Qing'er, with his actions today, Zhuge Ming would definitely not let him live a good life in the Sword Sect.
"Don't fall into my hands in the future!" Zhuge Ming thought about it as he sorted out his smile and introduced Tianshu one by one: "This is Wang Ke." "This is Liu Zhendong. "This is Li Jin. ”
Tianshu bowed slightly to them, clenched his fists and said, "I've seen all senior brothers." Qing'er also followed Tianshu's movements, but she didn't want to say a word.
The time was almost up, and a loud voice sounded in the ring: "Now I will read out the rules of the competition: 1. No one shall be injured in the competition, and the violator shall be strictly dealt with according to the door rules; 2. The opponent shall not be attacked again when the opponent has already lost; the offender shall be directly judged to lose; 3. The person who loses the ability to fight will lose, the person who verbally admits defeat will lose, and the person who falls outside the ring will lose; 4. The competition is a one-on-one battle, and no one else shall help in the competition. ”
The elder paused, turned to the viewing platform and said, "Please come to the stage with the disciples of the first competition between the two sides." ”
Qin Guang turned around and asked, "Which of you goes first?"
"Me!" Zhu Huan immediately took it.
Qin Guang nodded slightly, and softly, as if he was saying to him, and as if he was saying to all the apprentices: "Be careful, if you really can't do it, admit defeat, it's okay." ”
It was the first time that the apprentices had heard the master say such things, this master with a steely appearance, although strict, was truly caring.
The apprentices all bowed to Qin Guang, but no one answered.
Zhu Huan walked out and said to Qin Guang: "Master, you can rest assured, see how the apprentice wins this first battle!" After speaking, he jumped and jumped off the viewing platform.
Because today's occasion was more formal, Zhu Huan did not wear his sexy red vest, but wore a very rare white gown. However, it is obvious that this dress is not known a few years ago, and the whole dress is worn on him, which is called a suffocation, maybe Zhu Huan is the first person in the history of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect who can wear a loose caftan into a tights.
The viewing platform is at least three stories high. The audience could only see that in the distance, a large white ball of meat was falling rapidly from the viewing platform. Many people raised their voices, preparing for the sound of smashing the ground over there, and a huge laugh erupted here.
But they were disappointed.
Zhu Huan landed steadily, and even the dust did not stir up a few traces. He lifted his tight trouser legs and sleeves and walked to the ring with his head held high.
Zhuge Ming smiled slightly and said, "It turns out that he still has some strength. Li Jin, you go and meet him. Remember, be merciful. When he said the last sentence, his face turned to Li Jin, his back to Qin Guang and them, he raised his voice so that everyone on the stage could hear it, but his eyes were half-narrowed, looking at Li Jin. Li Jin nodded slightly and replied loudly "yes".
After speaking, he also jumped into the air. Although it is the same action, Li Jin is tall and well-proportioned, although his appearance is not like Pan Anyan Ruyu, but compared to Zhuge Minglai, it is not much the same, just less rich and noble. And his posture in the air is elegant and free, coupled with the fact that it is the home field, which naturally attracts a lot of cheers.
In the ring, the two stood opposite each other about ten steps apart.
The referee elder said lightly "start" and flashed to the side.
The two threw each other hands, said the word "please" at the same time, and then the game officially began.
