Chapter 36: Tournament

Ding Cheng said gloomily: "Brother Shaowu doesn't have to hide it, how can I not see your affection for Miss Yunying." To tell you the truth, I am a person from Dali, because of an accident, my fiancée is missing, I came here to find my fiancée, these days I deeply experience the pain of lovesickness. Therefore, there is this persuasion for Brother Shaowu. ”

When Shaowu heard Ding Cheng say this, he was immediately relieved, and saw that Ding Cheng could tell himself such a secret thing calmly, that is, he regarded himself as a good friend, and said gratefully: "Thank you Brother Ding for your kindness, when I win this competition, I will appeal to Yunying." ”

Ding Cheng laughed and said, "That's right." Li Bai's poem "Will Enter the Wine" has a cloud of "life must be happy, don't make Jin Zun empty to the moon" Today, let's learn from the ancients and sages, come to him and get drunk!"

Shaowu raised the wine bowl and said: "Very good, I also like Li Bai's poetry, his "Drinking Alone Under the Moon" has a cloud: "If the sky does not love wine, the wine star is not in the sky." If the earth does not love wine, there shall be no fountain of wine on the earth. Heaven and earth love wine, and love wine is worthy of heaven. This sentence "Heaven and earth love wine, and love wine is worthy of heaven" is simply absolute. ”

Ding Cheng praised: "What a 'love of wine is worthy of the sky', come to do it." He tilted his head and drank a bowl of wine.

Three days later, the square outside the ancestral hall was full of clansmen. After worshipping the ancestors, the four elders sat in a row in front of the ancestral hall, and Ding Cheng was also invited to sit next to him. The competition was presided over by Elder Chengfeng. Elder Chengfeng stood up and walked to the middle and said loudly: "Today's competition is for the selection of patriarchs, and the two sides participating in the competition are Yijin and Shaowu. The first game of the competition is a test of martial arts, and the point is up, and you must not fight with your life. Have you chosen the people to participate in the competition?"

On the Yijin side, Yijin himself fights, and on the Shaowu side, Shaowu fights. The two of them left the line and stood in the middle of the square.

Elder Chengfeng said loudly, "Worship the ancestors!"

The two bowed to the ancestral hall at the same time. The competition officially began. Shaowu turned around and took out a spear, and Yijin took a large knife.

Yi Jin said contemptuously: "Shaowu, with your two-legged and three-legged cat kung fu, even my wife can't fight, and you still want to fight with me, admit defeat as soon as possible!"

Shaowu said angrily: "Yijin, don't be rampant, I won't let you be this patriarch no matter what." ”

Xiao Yu leaned next to Ding Cheng and shouted, "Brother Shaowu, you have to teach this villain a good lesson." ”

Shaowu laughed and said: "Even Xiao Yu knows that you are a villain, let me teach you a good lesson, you still have the face to fight for the position of patriarch?"

Yi Jin's face turned pale with anger, and he shouted angrily, raising his big knife and slashing at Shaowu. The young military general shook the spear in his hand, shook the bowl and stabbed at Yijin.

Previously, when Ding Cheng saw Shaowu and Yang Ping fighting, his skills were mediocre, and he was almost injured by Yang Ping's knife, but he couldn't imagine that his marksmanship was extremely handsome. A spear is like a dragon going out to sea, and it is very agile. And Yi Jin also misjudged the situation because of the previous fight, and he suddenly felt a lot of pressure as soon as he handed it over, and Shaowu's spear was unpredictable, and it was really difficult to resist. After forty or fifty rounds of fighting, Yijin's knife technique changed, and it was full of insidious tricks, trying to win by tricks. Unexpectedly, the more you want to take advantage of it, the more flaws in the knife technique, and there is a lot of danger for a while.

Yang Ping watched her husband retreat step by step, her heart was very anxious, her brows were furrowed, and she kept pacing back and forth. On the other side, Xiao Yu was elated and shouted: "Brother Shaowu fought well, fought well!"
