Chapter 186: Visitor
Zhang Xiaohu pointed to the ring that was more than two people high, and said with a smile: "With such a high ring, I don't know how Xiaohua can go up?"
Zhang Xiaohua patted the back of her head, almost screamed, and said: "Alas, I forgot, that escalator is on the side of the Eagle Hall, and now it must have been put away a long time ago, and it is not easy to find, what can I do?"
He Tianshu looked at Zhang Xiaohua helplessly, and complained: "Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohua, can you quickly learn that "Mangniu Jin"? Hurry up and practice a light skill, you do it every day, do you know that it will make me lose face." ”
After saying that, he put down the sentence "You wait a while" and ran out.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at He Tianshu's distant back, smiled, and said to herself: "I don't feel ashamed, are you still afraid of losing face?"
After a while, I saw He Tianshu carrying an escalator, and under the gaze of the strange eyes of the disciples, he came back.
Seeing the two Zhang Xiaohua brothers, He Tianshu angrily threw the escalator to Zhang Xiaohu and said, "I knew that you brought me here early in the morning, there was nothing good." ”
Zhang Xiaohu followed the escalator, and was about to say something, when he heard a bell ringing, and the whole square immediately fell silent, Zhang Xiaohua looked left and right in surprise, not knowing what was going on.
He Tianshu hurriedly patted Zhang Xiaohua's shoulder, lowered his voice and said, "The third level is about to start, be careful not to speak, just watch carefully." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua immediately raised his head and looked at the largest ring in front of her, but the ring was still empty.
There are a lot of people in the back, some of whom Zhang Xiaohua is familiar with, and some who have never seen them, all of whom are high-level people of the Ethereal faction. Zhang Xiaohua thought that they would go to the ring, but everyone walked along the steps to a platform made of reed mats, and there were many tables and chairs placed under the reed mats.
When Ou Peng and the others sat under the reed mat, they saw a young disciple jumping into the ring, it was Zhang Chengyue, the chief disciple of the Ethereal Sect.
Zhang Chengyue came to the ring, first looked around, looked at the people in the square, and said loudly: "The third level of the martial arts competition will start now." ”
Zhang Chengyue's voice was not high, but it resounded throughout the audience, and the long echo seemed to be speaking in people's ears, Zhang Xiaohua was envious in her heart, squinted at He Tianshu next to her, and said secretly: "It is worthy of being the chief disciple, this internal cultivation is not a little bit higher than He Tianshu." ”
In fact, although Zhang Xiaohua's martial arts have entered the alley now, he can know the martial arts level of Zhang Chengyue and He Tianshu by feeling, but if the two don't really fight, how can he tell who is powerful and who is not?
What he relied on was to see the jealous look in He Tianshu's eyes!
Today is the competition of the third level of the martial arts conference, and it is also the essence of the martial arts conference, and it is the most lively moment, all the disciples who won the competition in front of them will show their players today, besides, only today, the Ou Da gang leader came to the ring in person, even if the Ou Da gang leader has a high vision, but in the reed mat shed, they are all the elders in the faction, if their performance is recognized by those people, their future in the ethereal faction is not a piece of brightness?
Not to mention that all the disciples were gearing up under the ring and eager to try, Zhang Chengyue on the stage took out a piece of paper from his arms and said with a smile: "First of all, the seventeen disciples of the Young Eagle Hall who won the first order of cloth clothes, congratulations to them on successfully passing the appraisal of the first order of cloth clothes." Today is the challenge of the second order of cloth clothes, and I hope they can have a result that excites us. In advance, we have selected seventeen disciples from the second order of cloth clothes, and they will be in the ring from the first to the fifth level, and they will go to various rings in the order in which I read the number plate, and prepare for today's competition. ”
After speaking, Zhang Chengyue raised the paper in his hand and read: "No. 1, No. 5, No. 12, No. 31, in the No. 1 ring, No. 2, No. 6, No. 28 and No. 33 in the No. 2 ring, No. 3, No. 8, No. 49 in the No. 3 ring, No. 57, No. 59," At this point, he paused, frowned slightly, and seemed to hesitate, but he continued to read: "There are also two hundred and fifty numbers, in the No. 5 ring." ”
As soon as Zhang Chengyue's words fell, there was a commotion in the square, the disciples in the square were all raised from the first order of cloth, the third level of the martial arts competition, not once or twice, many older disciples have participated in more than a dozen sessions, they naturally know that the players in the third level are the elite of the first order of cloth, and the distribution of this number plate is also issued according to the results of the first level of the competition, and there has never been more than one hundred disciples entering the third level, even if it is outside the fifty, it is very rare, and now I actually heard Zhang Chengyue read the two hundred and fifty, and the people who have a little idea of the number of disciples in the Eagle Hall this year know it in their hearts, these two hundred and fifty are probably the zuihou who passed the first level.
The fact that such a disciple can actually enter the third level is probably almost impossible.
So everyone inevitably started to talk.
Seeing the disciples react like this, Zhang Chengyue's brows furrowed even deeper, and he looked at the paper in his hand again to confirm that he was not mistaken, and then he gently "hummed", and the sound resounded throughout the audience, as if there was a thunder in everyone's ears, and the whole square immediately fell silent.
Zhang Chengyue continued: "The rules of the challenge competition are the same as before, three incense time, if it is a draw, the challenger wins." The list of the first order of cloth clothes will be announced here, and the list of other orders will be announced after the first order of cloth clothes competition. Next, ask the contestants to come on stage. ”
After speaking, Zhang Chengyue floated off the stage and walked towards the reed mat shed, and then there were five disciples who were slightly older, and they also jumped into the ring with beautiful figures, presumably disciples of the second order of cloth clothes waiting for the challenge.
Originally, the No. 1 ring was reserved for the most outstanding winning disciples in the second level, and the competition in this ring was always the most exciting, and it was crowded on weekdays, but now, many disciples flocked to the No. 5 ring, wanting to see the true face of the No. 250 player.
Seeing that all the disciples were walking towards the No. 5 ring, Zhang Xiaohua didn't know what they meant, this guy didn't have the idea of being successful for a while, he just pouted, and he didn't watch the monkey, why was he so curious.
However, listening to the rules of the challenge, Zhang Xiaohua still has a score in his heart, nonsense, the results of the first level of nine battles, how to say, I also have some experience in playing draws, if it is the third level, I still use the guerrilla tactics of the Beidou God Fist and ethereal steps, this draw is not ninety percent sure, thinking that he is going to pass the third level again, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but smile.
There are really a lot of farces in this world.
He Tianshu and Zhang Xiaohu also glanced at each other, with some smiles in their eyes, and they were also confident in Zhang Xiaohua's draw.
Zhang Xiaohua and the other three were still a little slower, and when they wanted to move, the five rings in the square had already surrounded a lot of people, and there were already five first-order disciples floating up. To say that this ethereal faction is really worthy of the word "ethereal", each disciple's light skills are powerful, not only the two disciples on the stage, but also the disciples watching the battle in the audience have long occupied a favorable terrain.
Zhang Xiaohua and the others had no choice but to fold their feet and gather in front of Zuihou.
At this time, the five pairs of disciples in the ring were already fighting together.
The five first-order disciples of the fresh cloth clothes, although they have just advanced, are after all the powerful people in a hundred, and these five second-order disciples of cloth clothes who should fight are specially selected by Zhang Chengyue and them, and they are not top disciples, they only represent the average strength of the second order of cloth clothes, therefore, except for the disciple of the fifty-seventh in the fifth ring, who gradually fell behind, the other four rings are still evenly matched.
Looking at the disciples who passed the test with him in the ring, fighting with their opponents with real knives and guns, and there were no tricky tactics, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but say two words from the bottom of her heart: "Fierce!"
At the same time, Zhang Xiaohua looked at the side of the fifth ring near the left, although he looked at the competition without suspense in the ring, he still didn't want to leave, looking forward to the many disciples of the third competition, he also hesitated in his heart whether he was in the ring or not, and he also used guerrilla tactics, and hesitated for the first time.
If you talk about your true level, most of them are not as good as the second-order brother of the cloth, after all, the internal strength of the people is more than a year more than the first-order, and the use of skills is doubled, and they can resist the time of two pillars of incense at most, and if they are more, they will be exhausted, and it is difficult to ensure that they will not be kicked out of the ring; Presumably, he will be sneered at by the disciples watching the battle in the audience, if this is the case, he will not want to enter the gate of the Ethereal Mountain Villa in the future.
Whether to fight or not to fight, defeat or draw, is a question.
The time for the three incense sticks was coming soon, except for the fifth ring, the disciples of the first order of cloth clothes failed to challenge, and the disciples of the other four rings all won or drawn, and directly obtained the qualification of the second order of cloth clothes.
Let's not talk about the disciples under the ring, pointing at the top of the roof, even the high-level people under the reed mat shed, also pointing to a few disciples in the ring, and commenting endlessly.
The reed mat shed was in front of the door of the council hall, next to the steps, and the position was one end higher than the ring, so that you could clearly see all the competitions in the five rings. Ou Peng, Shui Yupeng, Qin Damiang and others, seeing that the young disciples were so vigorous and had good grades, they were all full of smiles, nodding frequently, and several other people of the Ethereal Six Tigers, as well as the hall master of the Shenji Hall and others, and the disciples of Xiangxia from time to time bowed their heads and said something, presumably because they took a fancy to the qualifications of these teenagers and wanted to be included in the hall.
The first round of challenges is over, and the second round begins, and the situation in the five rings is basically similar to the previous round, except for the fifth ring, the other challengers are in an advantage, think about it, and now the challengers are all ranked high, if they can't be defeated, then there is no reason, and it is estimated that the players behind may have some suspense.
Everyone was thinking that the time for the three sticks of incense had come, and the No. 59 player in the fifth ring was defeated. At this time, the disciples in front of the fifth ring gradually lost their curiosity, these players in the 50s were defeated, and the players in the 250s were reborn fiercely, and it is estimated that they can't compare to the players in the 50s, even if he is lucky enough to enter the third level, he can't provide any surprises to everyone, what else do you want to see? However, since they have all missed the wonderful duel in the other rings, there is still a competition in the No. 5 ring, so everyone can make do with it and see what kind of three-headed and six-armed the two hundred and fifty are in the ring.
On the fifth ring, the second-order disciple who was waiting for the challenge had already jumped into the ring, and Zhang Xiaohua, who was on the second hundred and fifty haode, and Zhang Xiaohu, who had carried the escalator, were squeezing through the crowd, eliminating all difficulties, and walking towards the ring.
Zhang Chengyue's face changed greatly when he heard this, his face was gloomy, he waved his hand, and let the disciple go. He thought about it for a while, and walked quickly, walked to Ou Peng's side, attached his ears, and whispered a few words, Ou Peng was the same, his face was gloomy, and he immediately returned to normal, just frowned deeply, and then said a few words to Zhang Chengyue.
Zhang Chengyue nodded, walked out of the reed mat shed quickly, jumped onto the No. 1 ring, and said in a loud voice: "Disciples, we have sent guests from afar, let's come here first for this martial arts conference, and after sending off the visitors, let's continue to compete." ”
Five rings, except for Zhang Xiaohua who has not yet entered the ring, the other four people have just jumped into the ring, so they had to jump down again, Zhang Xiaohua is squeezing forward, stopped talking, also stopped, and said to Zhang Xiaohu with a smile: "Go back, second brother, fortunately, I said it early, if I wait for me to climb halfway before talking, wouldn't it cost me more energy?"
At this time, Zhang Chengyue raised his hand to a certain place, made a gesture, and heard nine bells, which were the bells of the Ethereal Sect to welcome distinguished guests, and all the disciples in the square were also trained for a long time, and they all stood aside in a regular manner, leaving a road leading from the council hall to the outside.
In the reed mat shed, Ou Peng heard the rippling bell, so he stood up, looked left and right, and walked out first, and the other people also followed, walking out of the square along the avenue left by the disciples.
When Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu saw this kind of formation, they didn't know where to put their hands and feet, just right, He Tianshu had been following behind them, reaching out to hold them, standing straight in the middle of a group of disciples, their height was not high, and their position was not centered, naturally they were inconspicuous, and no one could see anything wrong.
When Ou Peng and the others left the square, all the disciples were still standing with their hands in their hands, and there was no sign of leaving, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Captain He, what's going on?"
He Tianshu looked left and right, and whispered in his ear: "It is estimated that someone from other sects on the rivers and lakes has come to visit, these nine bells are extremely high-grade specifications, it must be a super faction, such as Dalin Temple, the people from the Incense Sect or the Zhengdao Alliance, or maybe the gang leader of Wan Jianfeng and other gangs is coming." ”
Zhang Xiaohua said curiously: "Could it be that their helper is here?"
He Tianshu shook his head and said: "I guess not, if their helper comes, this bell will not only ring nine, but eighteen, the highest welcome specification of our ethereal faction." ”
Zhang Xiaohua said: "How can the specifications of this welcome have anything to do with the bell?"
He Tianshu smiled bitterly: "These rules have been handed down from a long time ago, and I don't know what the specific meaning is, but I just know that if the first-class people of the first-class gang are ringing with eighteen bells, the highest specification, and the first-class people of the sect with the same strength as our ethereal faction, they use nine bells, and the people from the general gang are six or three bells." Other non-mainstream characters do not use bells when they visit. ”
Zhang Xiaohua nodded, seemed to understand a little, and said: "In short, it is to use the bell to treat the identity of the visitors differently and show respect respectively." But isn't weishenme ten, or twenty?"
He Tianshu said: "Didn't I tell you, this is the rule that has been handed down before, the specific weishenme is to use a bell, weishenme is nine sounds, not ten sounds, I don't know." Besides......"
Speaking of this, He Tianshu paused, looked a little hesitant, and said: "During our Ethereal Sect Martial Arts Conference, we are closed to welcome guests, and do not receive any visitors, this rule is well known in the rivers and lakes, but why are there distinguished guests visiting today? Is there any other meaning in it?"
Zhang Xiaohua was surprised: "Really, Captain He, no one came to the door before?"
He Tianshu nodded and said, "Yes, in my impression, no one has ever come to visit." I also read in some gang books that a long time ago, there were still some people in the rivers and lakes, who were proud of their talents, and wanted to use the ethereal faction as a springboard to emerge in the martial arts conference to attract the attention of the people in the rivers and lakes, and came to visit our ethereal faction during the martial arts conference, but they didn't enter the gate of the ethereal mountain villa, that is, they were beaten to the point of urine and went back directly, where can they enter the mountain gate?"
Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Maybe it's the leaders of other gangs on a whim, come over to see the competition." ”
He Tianshu still shook his head and said: "The ethereal faction's martial arts conference is an internal competition, and it is a competition to show the strength of the gang, how can the secrets of such factions be seen by other factions? ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu on the side interjected: "Since it is a release of nine bells, the Ou Da gang leader personally went out to greet him, presumably an extremely important figure in the rivers and lakes, such a character will never interfere in our martial arts conference for no reason, I think, there must be something in it." ”
He Tianshu also nodded sympathetically.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the empty avenue and said: "Forget it, the ancients are good: it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided." Those who should come always have to come, and when they let the horses come, let's take a look first. PS: Can anyone guess who it is?
