Chapter 2, Section 7, Peer Competition (I) 031

Before dawn the next day, Renjiabao was busy preparing a banquet to entertain the neighbors and guests who came to congratulate him.

Ren Tianqi and the county lord also deliberately got up early and changed into Han clothes, but they seemed to feel that the Hanfu was as close and warm as a golden suit, so they hurriedly built two carbon stoves in the room to warm and warm.

The four maids accompanied the county lord to sit in the west courtyard, and the great monk Lu Qian stayed in the room to read the books brought back, and took care of the county lord's many dowries.

Ren Tianqi accompanied the three brothers-in-law, Mr. Hua, with Gong Ming, to walk in the house and chat about what they saw on the way back. When several people were changing the topic to talk about Ren Tianqi's cold, heat and discomfort during this time, and when his body was out of balance, Ren Mingquan, the second housekeeper, came running in a hurry, saying that the old village owner had invited him and asked everyone to go to the living room of the South Courtyard.

It turned out that the Yangzhou Thorn Division Yingguiquan and Cangzhou Ke Fair Mr. Liu Chengmin came to visit, and the two heard that the second young master had returned with all the heroes, and proposed to meet Ren Tianqi and the heroes.

Everyone hurriedly followed Ren Mingquan to the study of the South Courtyard, and saw that the old village owner and the uncle Ren Tianhui were drinking tea and chatting with the two.

The first person is about forty years old, elegant and handsome, wearing a big red brocade robe, flowers and emerald brocade, a white jade belt around the waist, a large ruby ring on the slender fingers, and two strong men standing behind him, one of them holding a red spike sword;

Uncle Ren Tianhui hurriedly got up to introduce everyone, the first one is Yingguiquan, and the next one is Liu Chengmin Liu Daxia.

Ren Tianqi and several people stepped forward to see them one by one, and sat with them. Only Mr. Hua just arched his hand, and stood behind Ren Tianqi after seeing the salute, staring coldly at the two uninvited guests opposite. Mr. Hua's simple dress did not attract much attention from others, and it was thought that others thought that he was a steward of Ren Jiabao.

The girl served tea.

Yingguiquan looked a few people up and down, and said with a smile: "A few people are really talented, upright." When I listened to Ren Yi Weng's speech, I still didn't believe it in my heart, but when I saw it, the official worshipped and obeyed, and the four of them were really the dragon and phoenix among the people; rare, rare, especially these two, with white skin and a different appearance, like people from Dali?"

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "Lord Ying is really well-informed, these two are indeed Dali people, and they are the two righteous brothers below, and they intersected when they went to Dali for a tour. ”

Liu Chengmin raised his eldest mother's finger and praised: "The virtuous nephew is really amazing, the future life is terrifying! At a young age, he dared to travel around the world, and this ambition alone is what our old master dares to think and do, which makes us embarrassed! Brother Renyi, Ling Lang's future future must be immeasurable." Alas, I am sighing to myself, giving birth to a son should be like a linglang, but unfortunately, there is only a little girl in front of the old man's knees. ”

The owner of the old village waved his hand again and again, but said with a smile: "Mr. Big has won the award, the child does not learn and has no skills, so far there is no piece of paper fame, we have made the heart of the elders, not to say, what can we boast of? How can this be compared to Lord Ying as a prince, Mr. Big is rich in the world?"

Yingguiquan is constantly looking at Mr. Hua, is figuring out the origin of Mr. Hua, although he can't figure out what kind of role Mr. Qinghua is in the castle, but he can still feel a treacherous atmosphere on Mr. Hua's body; this breath is not because of Mr. Hua's leg crutches, nor is it Ren Tianqi and others' respect for him, what makes people feel treacherous is that Mr. Hua's scholar's simple clothes have a mighty and inviolable majesty, and between his eyebrows and eyes there is a calmness that was born in troubled times but can gallop calmly, Yingguiquan knows that this calmness is a person's cultivation and precipitation for many years。 Yinggui's whole body is a prince, naturally he is multi-purpose, seeing that everyone is talking about himself in gossip, he hurriedly bowed his hand, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Benevolence and righteousness, Mr. Big, this official has not provoked you two, why bother to entangle this official in everything, please let this official go." Besides, what is there to envy about this official? He is alone, has no fixed residence, has not yet established a family, has not established a business, and finally says that he is running around for the imperial court, all of which are hard work. Alas, it is a glorious face, not worth emulating, or not to talk about it. ”

Yingguiquan smiled and said: "However, benevolence and righteousness, to speak from the heart, Ru Renjiazhai is now really the water of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, and the first generation is stronger than the previous generation, and it is really heroic: this big village lord praises the righteous duke, and twenty years ago he was the right servant of the military department, and was selected into the ranking of heroes in the world; But I also heard that Brother Tianqi married a county lord of the Dajin Kingdom, which is to enjoy the glory and wealth of the heavens, but I don't know which prince's favorite he married? . ”

Yinggui glanced at Ren Tianqi and said with a smile.

Liu Chengmin was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Brother Tianqi married the county lord of the Dajin Kingdom?

The old village owner stroked his beard, smiled, and said: "Don't hide it from the two nobles, how can Xiaozhai be more happy today! The old woman will celebrate her birthday tomorrow, wouldn't it be another joy? The old owner glanced at his two sons and reminded them to be cautious in their words.

The old village owner looked up at Yingguiquan and said with a smile: "Ah, Lord Ying is very polite, I have always been fond of Renjiabao, and I will come to live in the village at this time of year; As for whether Xiao'er marries a daughter-in-law, it seems that he is the county lord, and he doesn't know very well, so it's better to ask Xiao'er. ”

Ren Tianqi didn't expect Yingguiquan's news to be so well-informed, his ears and eyes were so good, his heart was more vigilant, and he smiled: "The daughter of the king of Zhengnan." ”

"Wanyan Boxi, the royal brother of the Golden Emperor today?" asked Yingliu and the others in surprise.

"Exactly. Ren Tianqi didn't want to say more, and said with a faint smile......

Yingguiquan smiled and said: "How can Brother Tai have such a beautiful fate, it is enviable!"

Liu Chengmin said with a smile: "Such a beautiful thing is rare in the world." Can you tell us a little bit about the virtuous nephew? ”

Ren Tianqi arched his hand and smiled: "The little one is a broken person, but he has inherited the yin virtue of his ancestors, and what virtue can the kid have to make the heavens love, don't talk about it." ”

Yingguiquan smiled and said: "Mr. Big, benevolence and righteousness, I don't want Brother Tianqi to be a person with little desire for fame, and we are willing to fall behind." ”

Liu Chengmin said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the second master is not drunk, it's because there is an official here, and the two families of the Jin and Song Dynasty are their own masters, which is a lot of inconvenience!"

Yingguiquan looked back at Liu Chengmin and said with a smile: "No, there should be no officials and civilians at home, Jin and Song are separated;

Yinggui Quan's eyes were fixed on Ren Tianqi.

Ren Tianqi smiled but did not speak.

The old village owner shook his hand and said with a smile: "The child is very ignorant, so there is nothing to talk about." ”

Liu Chengmin patted his head and made a loud sound, which aroused everyone's suspicions. Mr. Big glanced sideways at Ying Guiquan, and said with a smile: "I said that Lord Ying, benevolence and righteousness are coming, we have to send something, at least we have to give Brother Tianqi a little meeting gift, right? Hey, the old sister-in-law doesn't say hello early on her birthday, so let's be prepared!"

Liu Chengmin thought about it for a while, took off a white jade dragon pendant from his waist, got up and handed it to Ren Tianqi, and said with a smile: "Little brother, I came in a hurry, I didn't bring anything that I could get my hands on, this little object has the right to be a plaything, and I ask the little brother to laugh." ”

Ren Tianqi took a look at the jade pendant, the whole body was white and flawless, and the two green dots on the dragon's head were eye-catching, crystal clear, it was really precious, priceless, and too precious. Ren Tianqi hesitated, looked up at the old village owner, and said: "Dad, this is too valuable, it is worth a lot, I can't accept it." ”

Liu Chengmin's cheeks twitched, and he smiled: "You kid, where is this, as the old man of the Ru family said, what the old man said is also rich in the world, there must be a few valuable things around to support the faΓ§ade, but this old man with sheep fat and jade is still pleasing to the eye, and I often take it with me." This elder gives something to the younger generation, and what is expensive and not expensive, accept it. ”

Liu Chengmin forced the jade pendant in Ren Tianqi's hands.

Ren Tianqi hurriedly took it with both hands, and bowed his head to thank him.

Seeing this, Yinggui Quan smiled and said: "Mr. Big is so generous, isn't this a deliberate embarrassment for the official, the official can't compare with you, but the official should also give Brother Tianqi a thing." ”

Yingguiquan stretched out his hand and took off the big red ring on his hand, got up and stood up, came to Ren Tianqi, and said: "When we meet for the first time, although this chicken blood red ring is not worth a few small dollars, I still hope that Brother Tianqi will smile and leave it as a thought." ”

Ren Tianqi knew that Wei Youyou had accepted the gift, and he couldn't push it off, so he hurriedly picked up his clothes and knelt down and thanked: "Thank you, Lord for your love." ”

Yingguiquan smiled and leaned over, lifted the dantian violently, his left hand was like a hook, he grabbed Ren Tianqi's right shoulder, pinched the ring with his right hand, and slammed Ren Tianqi's left chest with the back of his hand, as fast as lightning.

Ren Tianqi's black water unphased wedding dress magic skill has been refined to the sixth percent, and the body protection magic skill has been able to instinctively protect the body and rebound.

Yinggui Quan felt that his hands were empty, as if he was grasping a ball of cotton, weak and unable to use his strength, and then another internal force rebounded his palms, and his hands were numb. Yinggui was surprised in his heart: he didn't see Ren Tianqi resist, and he only used five successful strengths, even if Ren Tianqi practiced hard skills such as iron cloth shirts to protect his body, he would not be able to shake his hands with reaction.

At this moment, Ren Tianqi also knew in his heart that Lord Ying originally wanted to test my martial arts, and this official errand was guarded against a lot of eyes and curiosity, if he knew that I was a ghost of the black water, then don't be extremely annoying every day?

Ren Tianqi wanted to stop grinning, hurriedly unloaded the body protection skills, touched his right shoulder with his left hand, touched his left chest with his right hand, shook his shoulder, and raised his robe with both hands as if nothing had happened.

Yingguiquan obviously felt that he had clicked on Ren Tianqi's arm numb points, but he felt that Ren Tianqi's skin was as hard as iron, his clothes were slippery like snow and water, and he actually missed all the acupoints, and then looked at Ren Tianqi's face, calm as water, as if nothing had happened, his heart was shocked, he wondered in his heart, stuffed the ring into Ren Tianqi's hand, smiled embarrassedly and sat down.

Everyone thought that Yinggui was embarrassed to make a move, and they didn't take it to heart.

Liu Chengmin took a sip of tea, pointed to the black and white eagles, and said: "These two benevolent brothers are from Dali, and they are people who learn martial arts, they must have heard of the master of a lamp in Dali Tianlong Temple, I don't know if the two of you have heard of it?"

Black Eagle Wei Yingqian rolled his eyes and said in a rough voice: "Of course I've heard of it, and I've seen it, my brothers and my virtuous brother formed a righteous alliance in Tianlong Temple----。 ”

White Eagle scrambled to speak: "That's it, we are in Tianlong Temple every day-----。 ”

Before the words fell, Ren Tianqi rushed to speak: "The three of our righteous brothers did meet and make friends when they visited Tianlong Temple. The master of a lamp is a generation of grandmasters, the martial arts are wonderful, I have heard of it for a long time, but in the inferior people are light, I have never seen a lamp master; ”

Twin Eagles was stunned when they heard this, glanced at each other, blushed and continued, "Yes, that's it." And he said no more.

Liu Chengmin looked sorry and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, the old man is familiar with the first-class master, if he had known that Brother Tianqi would go, if the old man wrote a letter of recommendation, Brother Tianqi would inevitably get the guidance of Master Yideng, and it would be a good thing for Renjiabao to Wulin." ”

The old village owner thanked him and said: "Everyone says that Mr. Big Bodhisattva is heartfelt, chivalrous and righteous, and takes the world's affairs as his own responsibility. It's just that the master of a lamp is a martial arts master today, how can there be such a place for Xiao'er!"

Yingguiquan recovered his expression, smiled faintly, and said with his head: "Master Yideng was famous all over the world twenty years ago, and the Shaanxi and Gansu heroes Wang Chongyang, the big devil of the ten halls of Yama, ranking among the top three in today's martial arts, martial arts attainments have already reached the peak, and he has entered the sainthood. That year, Mr. Big was probably also present in the Shaolin Dao competition, right?"

Liu Chengmin smiled and swept his beard and said with a smile: "Yes, Lord Ying is good at remembering his surname." That old man just went to fill up the number, how could a third-rate kung fu like the old man enter the stream, not because he would play tricks, a little famous, for the love of everyone on the road, he had to go to Shaolin to testify. But Lord Ying is a real hero, at that time, Lord Ying can be described as a hero out of the youth, out of the limelight, before he is twenty, he is among the thirty masters today. ”

Yingguiquan looked confused, as if he was immersed in the recollection of the past, and it took a long time to retract his senses, looked at Ren Tianqi, and said: "At your current age, with a green steel sword to break through the five passes, defeat forty opponents, and be selected into the list of thirty people, it can be regarded as a success; However, you are the master of the Dazhai family, Song Yigong, who is called a true hero, is comparable to us, a spotted bamboo sword, invincible in the world, the essence of swordsmanship, looking at the entire martial arts can also be said to be rare, when the top 20. Yingguiquan recalled the scenery when he was young.

The years are not forgiving, the years urge people to grow old, and the heroes and nobles are already successful and famous, and they can also be said to be proud of their careers, but Bai Zhe's face is also full of vicissitudes.

The old village owner laughed and said: "There is this possibility, my eldest brother has been talented and intelligent since he was a child, and he has studied hard and practiced hard, and he has never been lazy; Later, the official residence in Sizhou was under the control of the soldiers and horses, and the right attendant of the military department was also earned by virtue of his military exploits."

Yingguiquan smiled and said approvingly: "That's, according to the official's speculation, in that Shaolin discussion, Song Yigong's skills should be among the top ten." In your opinion, sir, you were one of the three princes at that time. ”

Liu Chengmin shook his head and said sharply: "Although there was indeed a ranking at that time, but in the end, because many people did not show their true faces, and their identities could not be determined by one move, so the final ranking was very general, I only remember that the top ten are probably one demon, two ways, three monks, four swords, five masters, six beggars, seven righteousness, eight poisons, nine medicines, and ten evils." The top three are just as Lord Ying said, most of the rivers and lakes are recognized as the Ten Palaces of Yama, Master of One Light and Wang Chongyang. As for the latter seven, there are many rumors, each with its own basis, and it is not enough to say; except for Yin Kaishan, the leader of the beggar gang, and the medicine is a generation of medical saint Saihua Tuo Gu Yiping, who is more accurate, the others are not easy to determine. ”

"What?" asked a little red.

Liu Chengmin sighed, shook his head, and said: "But when it comes to swords, does it mean a swordsman, or does it refer to a person who finally wins with swordsmanship, or does it mean that this person comes from a certain sword school sword village? ”

"Mr. Big, then from your point of view, is there a ranking spectrum in this world?"

Everyone looked at Yoo Seungmin.

Liu Chengmin looked at the crowd, then looked at the beam, and said with a smile: "Is the ranking spectrum really so mysterious? In all fairness, it was just the victory or defeat of a competition twenty years ago. Look how nervous you are. ”

Everyone blushed.

The old village owner said with a smile: "Mr. Big is really a master, and his name is Boli, and there are a few people who can do this in this life." ”

Mr. Big shook his head and said with a smile: "The old village owner has a reputation. However, as far as the old man knows, there was indeed a ranking score at that time, and the old man, as one of the three princes, had also seen it, but it seems that it had not been publicly circulated later. There are many reasons for this. First, I am afraid that chasing the ranking on the rivers and lakes may trigger the bloody regeneration of the rivers and lakes; second, many people on the spectrum have not shown their true faces, and their identities are uncertain, so they must not be crowned Li Dai; third, there are still some masters outside the world who have not participated in the rivers and lakes, and they must not be able to represent the whole country, and this ranking is suspected of being inappropriate, such as the jade-faced Yama, it is said that the jade-faced Yama and the ten-faced Yama are twin brothers, one evil and one evil, and the martial arts are not divided between up and down, whether it is really true, it is not known; Therefore, this spectrum is also in vain, isn't it?"

Everyone was silent when they heard the words, and they all carefully recalled Mr. Big's words, and they felt a lot of feelings.
