The fierce battle on the Qingqiu Arena, with the young man in blue shirt defeating the enemy with his bright sword and sword in the snow, ended in about three years. The eyes of the people in the audience fell on the Meiyue Arena again. He was also a young man, but clothed in civilian clothes. The fight between the young man and the man who was good at using grappling techniques was more like a one-sided crushing defeat.
It wasn't that the boy in cloth was deliberately teasing, it was just that this man who was good at capturing was too tenacious. No matter how many times he was knocked back or knocked down by Xiaojie, he insisted on getting up and getting up to fight again.
Everyone in the audience didn't know what belief supported this man to get up again and again. Even if it was Xiaojie, there seemed to be a trace of intolerance in his sharp eyes. But since ancient times, in any martial arts competition, there will always be a winner or loser, even if No matter how tenacious this man is, the winner will still be decided in the Meiyue Ring. In the end, the contest on the Meiyue Ring ended with the defeat of the man who captured him.
Compared with Xiaojie's intolerance, Shui Canglan's subordinates in the Hua Chao Arena were not so merciful. Those who came to the stage to challenge either vomited blood and left the field, or their weapons were broken. Perhaps the bloody spirit of the martial arts practitioners still supported this situation. The Jianghu people kept challenging the arrogant and rude Shui Canglan.
However, Shui Canglan faced the repeated challenges from these Jianghu people, and refused to accept any comer. The water-like sword in his hand was shining brightly, making all the heroes bow.
The sun was turning and the moon was rising. The masters of the four arenas of Hua Chao, Late Summer, Qing Qiu, and Mei Yue stood at the end under the challenge of a crowd of Jianghu guests. According to the rules of the Hejiapu Arena, just when He Kui was about to stand up and announce this When four people are fighting for the top three.
A roar that sounded like a lion but not a lion, like a tiger but not a tiger, resounded through the mountains behind Hejiabao. As the roar rang out, everyone in the field was attracted by the roar, and saw only the mountains behind Hejiabao. Among them, birds and animals were frightened when they heard the sound. A cloud of mist rose up with the roar, blocking the bright moon that was rising in the night sky.
Everyone in the audience changed their expressions. They didn't expect that there was such a beast in the back mountain of Hejiabao. It could attract celestial images with just its roar. What a state this was.
Others in the field may not know it, but Gu Xiao once heard He Bufan mention the legend of this liger beast. Hearing this roar, he naturally thought of the legendary beast liger. Gu Xiao frowned and saw a pair of stars. Looking at the mountain behind, I thought to myself: "Is that legend true? This liger can move the celestial image with just its roar."
Seeing the confused and doubtful expressions of the people in the field, the ancestor of the He family stood up abruptly with a golden staff. His heart was filled with joy but also sadness and uneasiness. What he was happy about was that since he took over the He family fort, over the years, no matter what kind of weapon he used, I have only found some traces of ligers, but I have never seen or heard of ligers with my own eyes.
Sadly, today I finally heard the roar of the liger with my own ears, which was exactly the same as what the master told me. However, my Zhonger did not wait until this day. The direction of the roar of the liger, according to my own ears, It's not far from Hejiabao.
Thinking of this, the ancestor of the He family looked at He Kui with endless hatred in his turbid eyes, and said silently in his heart: "Little bastard, I was so merciful back then that I spared your life, but I didn't expect to kill Zhong'er." , now is not the time to take your life..."
As if feeling his father's hateful gaze, He Kui turned his face away from his ancestor, bowed and asked, "Father, what should we do now?"
Before the ancestor could speak, He Ji rushed forward and said eagerly: "Father, that beast finally showed up. This opportunity cannot be missed. Let's do it now..."
Before He Ji could finish his words, he was interrupted by the ancestor of the He family who raised his hand. With a bit of temptation, the ancestor of the He family tried his best to suppress the mixed feelings of hatred, surprise and sadness in his heart, and said to He Kui lightly: "Kui'er, Tell me how to deal with it."
Seeing that He Kui didn't speak, but kept glancing at Mr. Chongyang aside, the ancestor seemed to understand what He Kui was thinking, and said, "It's okay, Mr. Chongyang is one of our own, don't worry."
"Yes." He Kui responded respectfully.
Then he straightened up, thought for a while, and said: "Back to father, we have been in Hejiapu for so many years, whether it is holding a ring or spending so much money, raising so many people in the world, isn't it just for this liger? We finally saw this liger appear today, why don’t we stop the ring for now and let my son personally lead the people to go up the mountain to catch this liger.”
The ancestor stared at He Kui for a moment, without saying any words of approval or rejection. Instead, he walked tremblingly to the high platform to watch the battle, holding his golden staff, and spoke to the people in the field who were still shocked by the roar of the liger beast. He said: "Everyone, the arena is temporarily suspended today. Please go back to your respective gardens to rest for the time being. After tomorrow, we can resume the top three battles."
Although everyone was puzzled as to what kind of beast was in the mountains behind Hejiabao that made such a roar, they were relieved when they looked at the indifferent expression of the ancestor of the He family on the stage. Since the He family is not worried, we will wait and see. What's there to worry about? Besides, the He family has food and drink, and it's comfortable to stay there, so why worry about such things that have nothing to do with you.
Thinking of this, the guests in the audience saluted the ancestors of the He family one after another, and then, under the guidance of the servants of the He family, they walked towards Mei Yueyuan.
Shui Canglan didn't care about this. He just wanted to quickly confront the boy Qingqiu was fighting and avenge his punch outside the He family. When he heard the ancestor of the He family proposed to fight again tomorrow, Shui Canglan felt unhappy in his heart. He was willing to wait a little longer, but the master of Hejiabao had already spoken, and he couldn't be too rude, so he had no choice but to get off the Huachao Lei.
The same is true for Yuwen Tuo. He only has the young man in green shirt in his heart. As long as he can defeat him in front of Jiang Ningxue, he can prove that she has chosen the wrong person. However, since the ancestor of the He family has spoken, let him be spared for a day. So what, Yuwen Tuo made up his mind and got off the ring. He took a deep look at Jiang Ningxue under the stage and prepared to leave and go to Mucha Garden to rest.
Jiang Ningxue watched the young man in green shirt walk down the ring. Compared to the roar of the liger, the heroic figure of the young man who had just cut through the knife in the snow with his sword made Jiang Ningxue's cold eyes shine with a strange light.
Gu Xiao got off the ring, and without waiting for the servants of the He family to approach, he quickly walked to Jiang Ningxue and said in a low voice: "The ancestor of the He family stopped the ring. The roar just now was definitely not that of an ordinary beast. From this point of view, that The legend of the liger is probably true."
"So what, the purpose of our trip is not for the ligers." Jiang Ningxue looked at the young man's handsome profile. The coldness in his eyes was no longer as cold as before, but the tone he spoke was still cold. .
"Of course I know this. Do you still remember what Brother He Bufan said to us?" Seeing that Jiang Ningxue was still cold, Gu Xiao remembered that when He Bufan told the two of them about the legend of the liger beast, what the He family said to everyone Worship the rules established.
Gu Xiao reminded her, and Jiang Ningxue remembered that He Bufan had indeed mentioned that anyone who entered the He family's worship or nursing home, as long as he could find a liger in the mountain and surrender, no matter what the conditions were. The He family would be fully satisfied and asked Gu Xiao, "What do you mean?"
"Yes, if the roar just now is indeed that liger, the He family will definitely send out people to capture it. If I can find a chance to go together, I can help the He family catch the liger. I will be able to put forward conditions to the He family, and by then, whether it is Qingsi Luo or Murong Gu, we will be able to get the clues we want." Gu Xiao told Jiang Ningxue what he was thinking.
Jiang Ningxue also agreed with Gu Xiao's idea, but Gu Xiao continued to talk to himself: "But if we rashly recommend ourselves to join the arrest, not to mention that the family will be suspicious, even if we know that Brother He told us, Doesn’t that mean he sold Brother He?”
Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue were chatting in a low voice about how to join the He family to capture the liger. However, in the opinion of Yuwen Tuo, who was about to leave, the two people's actions were too intimate, especially since Yuwen Tuo had already After learning about Jiang Ningxue's indifferent temperament, not to mention myself as an outsider, even the disciples of the Lingyun Sword Sect had heard from word of mouth that this iceberg beauty senior sister never talked to others.
Seeing him talking to the young man in green shirt in a low voice now made the jealousy in Yuwen Tuo's heart ignited again. Just as he was about to step forward, he heard the voice of the ancestor of the He family behind him.
"A few of you will stay."
When the ancestor of the He family said this, Yuwen Tuo, Shui Canglan and Xiaojie were all startled. They didn't know what kind of medicine the ancestor of the He family was selling in the gourd.
Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue looked at each other. It seemed that they no longer needed to make excuses for joining in the capture of the ligers.
With the support of He Kui and He Ji, the ancestor of the He family walked tremblingly to the side of Gu Xiao and others. A smile appeared on his wrinkled face and he said to the four of them: "I would like to invite the four of you to go. Let’s talk in Hua Chaoyuan.”
As the ancestor of the He family spoke, he winked at He Kui. The current head of the He family then waved slightly to Jin Buyi and others who were watching the battle on the high platform on the west side, and whispered a few instructions to Jin Buyi who came over. , Jin Buyi nodded slightly, then greeted all the He family worshipers and left quickly.
When He Kui returned, the ancestor of the He family spoke again: "Guys, just follow me."
After saying that, he turned around and led everyone towards the flower garden.
——
Sitting in the main hall of Huachao Garden, Gu Xiao couldn't help but sigh, why is it that the Hejiabao family has so much wealth, but there are so few servants in the garden where the master lives? Ancestor, he didn't speak, and everyone in the hall was sitting down, closing their eyes and concentrating.
The same is true for Gu Xiao. At noon, he has been fighting in the He family arena for a long time. With this rare rest time, Gu Xiao also adjusts his breath secretly.
After about a while of tea time, when everyone in the hall was closing their eyes and concentrating, they heard the sound of rapid footsteps outside the Hua Chao Garden. Everyone opened their eyes and looked, and saw that the person coming was none other than the head of the He family. , gold never moves.
After entering the hall, Jin Buyi first glanced at the young heroes in the hall, and then landed on He Kui. Seeing He Kui not squinting, sitting next to his ancestor, Jin Buyi quickly stepped forward and bowed. He leaned close to the ancestor's ear and whispered a few words.
The old member of the He family finally opened his eyes, and his turbid eyes were no longer as lazy as they were in the ring before, but were focused, and he asked Jin Bumo beside him: "Have you sent someone to chase him? "
"Yuehua, Bu Yan and others have already gone after it, and they should be able to find its nest soon." Jin Buyi bowed and replied.
"Okay, well done." A rare look of relief appeared on the face of the ancestor of the He family, and he praised Jin Buyi repeatedly.
Then he stood up with his stick and spoke to Gu Xiao and the other four: "Four young heroes, although the He family is not a famous martial arts family, it is somewhat famous in Qi Yun. I am going to show my old face this time and want to ask the four of you to help me." A little favor."
"Here we come." Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue looked at each other and thought to themselves, the ancestor of the He family had just asked the head of the family, He Kui, to order Jin Buyi. It seemed that he was sending people to investigate the whereabouts of the liger.
"The ancestor has given instructions, and I, the Rushui Sword Sect, will help me with all my strength." When Shui Canglan heard the ancestor speak, he immediately jumped out and responded. For the Rushui Sword Sect, who wants to compete with the Lingyun Sword Sect for the top spot in the Qiyun Wulin. He said that the more help he can get, the more helpful it will be to Rushui Sword Sect. This is one of the reasons why Shui Qianyue sent his own son to Hejiabao.
The ancestor of the He family made such a gesture that Yu Wentuo, a member of the famous family, could not refuse, so he had to stand up and agree. Gu Xiao was worried about how to join in the capture of the ligers, and thus proposed that he wanted to know the clues about Murong Gu and Qingsi Luo. , naturally will not refuse.
Of the four champions, only Xiaojie was left. Seeing that Gu Xiao agreed so happily, the commoner boy agreed even though he didn't know what the ancestor of the He family wanted.
Some people died, but not completely...
