Master Fuhu was surprised that he started talking about this. He thought: It must be because we are not familiar with each other. We need to talk about some easy topics first to get acquainted with each other. He said: "Well, you can't tell from the scene now. But I think it's Sunset Manor." The odds of winning are high.”
The visitor, Scholar Liu, made a noise without showing any emotion or anger, and said, "Why do you see that? I see that Changfa Manor is not lagging behind in the scene."
He pointed down, towards the dark battlefield, where he could overlook the whole situation from the stands.
"Not to mention the two games we are currently playing, one is evenly matched, the other is unpredictable, and they are both tied."
The unpredictable victory or defeat he mentioned refers to the fight between Fang Weiran and Xingqing, which is now reaching its climax and is also the most exciting and intense one. The swordsmanship of these two people is very sharp, and the victory or defeat is only a matter of millimeters. They may fight for days and nights, or the victory or death may be decided in the next moment. To say it was evenly matched is another story. Xing Cang and Xing Ping, another white-haired swordsman of Sunset Manor.
The sword fight between these two people is a regular one. You use one sword and I use another. You use sword skills and I use sword skills. You come and I hide, I advance and you retreat. It's quite normal. They are evenly matched on the scene. It seems that they are evenly matched for a while. It’s not easy to tell the winner in a while.
These two games were face-to-face duels, and most of the other games involved chasing, tracking, ambush, and counter-ambush situations. If you watch this kind of situation immersedly, it will be very exciting. But if you want to watch some exciting situations from a high position to pass the time, it is really not as exciting as the sword-to-sword confrontation.
"In a chase or ambush situation, the one who gets in first will definitely have the advantage, just like the first mover advantage in a chess game. As long as you keep your mind down and kill without any intention, you can at least maintain an unbeatable situation. At most, you will be wary of each other, and no one will If you don’t get out of the passage, compared to Dui Zi, if there are experts in the team, as long as the others can do Dui Zi, they will have made a contribution.”
Liu Shusheng said: "I wonder if Master Fuhu has noticed? There are more people in Changfa Manor who have the upper hand. Eight out of ten games have the upper hand. Is this ratio too high? I don't know if this is luck or manipulation."
Master Fuhu frowned and said, "You said the draw just now was cheated? With so many Yuan envoys watching, it can't be done, right? Besides, this is Sunset Manor's home ground, so if they want to cheat, they should do it, right?"
Eight to two, although the result of the draw is very tilted, it is not impossible.
Liu Shusheng said: "I'm not saying cheating, maybe it's just luck? It's just artificially increasing luck."
Master Fuhu frowned and said: "Lucky? What kind of increase does this illusory thing mean..."
There is luck in this world, but it is difficult to measure. Most of it is just coincidence. No one can categorically say that someone is born with high luck. Some people are really lucky and may be called "Son of Luck", just like Tang Zhao was jokingly called "God's son", but this is just an admiration from others and does not mean that there is real luck, let alone There is no need to talk about "taking luck" and other operations.
The only thing that may affect luck is special swordsmanship and swordsmanship. But those sword skills are not only rare, but there are no cases to prove that they are really miraculous. Anyway, I have never heard of that classic battle that one side won through luck.
In Fuhuzhu's view, luck is a bluff. It's just a halo, colorful clouds, Ganoderma lucidum, etc. to give yourself some psychological comfort at the beginning, but it can't be done accurately.
Liu Shusheng shook his head and said: "Luck is not vague. There are examples from ancient times to the present. Back then, Emperor Taizong of the Jin Dynasty once rescued a Ganoderma lucidum. With the luck blessed by it, he was victorious in every battle and led a few elite cavalry. Charged hundreds of times without even a minor injury. Later, the auspicious sword was enshrined to suppress the national destiny. For decades, the weather was smooth, leading to a peaceful and prosperous era, and the national destiny was prosperous. If the sword had not disappeared, the national destiny would not have declined day by day..."
He didn't say any more, just shook his head and sighed.
Lord Fuhu didn't take it seriously and thought to himself: It's not like I haven't seen the nobles from your court who come to Wangliang Mountain. They are all powerful and bastards. These people are all high-ranking officials. How can the country be good? What's the use of relying on the country's luck?
Liu Shusheng saw what he meant and smiled lightly: "Any swordsmanship that involves luck is mostly related to elements such as light, aura, auspiciousness, and luck. Naturally, there is no such thing in the Gangliang Mountain. It's not surprising that Master Fuhu doesn't believe it. But if It’s really because of luck that we can do it. It can be seen that this Changfa Manor has a lot of background and has prepared relevant tactics. The layout is considered stable. Why doesn’t Master Fuhu take a fancy to them?”
Lord Fuhu shook his head and said: "I also see that they have tactics. But their tactics are too negative. Except for a few people, everyone else is dragging and hiding whenever they can. It seems that everyone is trying to survive, not As if they were fighting to win. I first thought if they had too many foreign aids? They were not their own sword slaves. They were all paid to do things, so naturally they would not work hard. But I think their own sword slaves and swordsmen were also able to hide it. Hidden. On the contrary, it is an outsider working hard, but I think there is an inside story."
Liu Shusheng nodded and said: "There must be a strategy, is it to stop with silence? Or are others delaying the battle to pave the way for the master to make the final decision?"
Master Fuhu sneered: "Master? If there is such a master, and the people inside cannot be seen, how can we not be able to see it? Which one of them is a master? A master must have the temperament of a master, how can there be a master who hides his head and shows his tail?"
Scholar Liu shook his head and said, "Perhaps the master has already appeared, right in front of you?"
He stretched out his hand and said, "There is an invisible battle there."
He was referring to the passage to the north.
Unlike other passages where both people show up to fight, or neither of them show up to hide in each other's presence, there is only one swordsman in this passage, the white-haired swordsman from Sunset Manor. But in front of his passage, the opponent who should have entered before him did not even have a shadow.
If that were the case, it could be said that the swordsman from the long-haired manor was well hidden, waiting for an opportunity to ambush, but when he saw the swordsman who appeared alone, he was walking in a winding way, with no sense of direction, and sometimes he would suddenly swing his sword to the side while walking. Stabbing into the swamp, the sword light shot out, splashing countless shadows and smoke, as if going crazy, and you knew that this person had actually been hit, maybe he had been caught in an illusion.
Lord Fuhu actually saw that the winner of this passage was actually decided, and Changfa Manor won.
But Master Fuhu still shook his head and said: "Winning this way is also a success in conspiracy. Even though the winner has won, he still doesn't dare to show his face, nor does he dare to take advantage of the fact that there is no blockade in front of him and no pursuers in the back to rush forward. Instead, he stays behind Being entangled with the opponent in the passage, isn't this a lack of ambition? It can be seen that the people of Changfa Manor are not united, even the masters are timid and reluctant to protect themselves, and they have lost from the root. "
Seeing that Scholar Liu still had different opinions, he raised his hand and said, "In my opinion, that person has the attitude of a master who dominates."
He was referring to the southeast passage.
Two people also appeared in that passage, but they did not fight, but chased each other forward. The people behind did not seem to be chasing and fleeing, but hurriedly and slowly tried to catch up with the footsteps of the people in front, but they could only fall behind. There was a slight possibility of catching up, but he was immediately stabbed back by the opponent's sword. He immediately turned over to avoid it, not daring to face its sharp edge.
This side is actually divided. The person in front won. It is worth mentioning that this is the passage with Sunset Manor in front and Changfa Manor in the back, except for Xing Cang. Among them, the one walking boldly in front was a tall white-haired swordsman, and the one chasing behind him was a young woman invited by Changfa Manor for foreign aid.
No one recognized this foreign aid woman. Even though Xin Ying actually introduced her name at the beginning, everyone just listened to her at that time. There were only a handful of people present who could still remember whether her surname was Mi or Mai. The white-haired Fuhu Master recognized him: "This is also a foreign aid invited. Sunset Manor has not had such a master for a long time. He is the swordsman of Dark Star Manor."
Liu Shusheng was slightly surprised and said: "Dark Star Manor..."
Master Fuhu said: "Exactly, I remember his name is Xinglao. This is the second time I have seen him take action. The last time was when Dark Star Manor challenged Evil Star Manor three years ago. That time was not a civil war, but a thorough battle. Fight with each other until there is no one on either side or they leave the steps in shit. This lucky prisoner is one of the killers of Dark Star Manor. The sword in front of him is like a mad cow, killing blood like a river, and the blood flows down the steps, one step at a time. Bloody footprints. Three years later, they are still vivid in my mind. Look at that woman—"
He pointed at the woman who was chasing after him in embarrassment: "You see, although that woman is in embarrassment, she has been able to protect herself so far, and her strength is considerable. Unfortunately, her opponent is wrong, too strong. But she was lucky, and she got the draw The chasing position from behind, so that it won't block the road. Xinglao probably didn't bother to pay attention to her. If she was in front, she would probably be dead."
He shook his head and said: "Originally, there are many variables in this swordsman game. Depending on their strength, Changfa Manor may not be unable to win, but this is the game they are most likely to win. Unfortunately, their strategy is too conservative. I guess their general strategy is If you can win the first game, win, but if you can't win, preservation is the priority. The treasure is in the second and third games. It's a pity that they made the wrong idea."
He said without any doubt: "If they risk their lives to win the first game, and then let their young master compete with Old Man Sunset, before Old Man Wu reveals the secrets he hid in his youth, they might be able to beat him to death with random punches. Master, I won this sword fight. It's a pity that they didn't dare, but they actually wanted to be safe and win the swordsman game."
Speaking of this, Master Fuhu couldn't help but glance at the shed of the Changfa Manor again. He was very regretful that he didn't see the swordsman who had amazed him before, and said: "Maybe they feel that they have found an outstanding swordsman, and they are quite sure. .But unfortunately, it is impossible for them to win the swordsman round."
"Because his opponent is called Guirong."
There are countless discussions on the stage like Fuhuzhu, and everyone is talking loudly to show their vision. And below, each passage finally welcomed people who successfully broke through.
The person who stepped into the fork in the road for the first time was Xing Lao, the former Dark Star swordsman whom Lord Fuhu praised.
