Chapter 723: Fish, Dragon and Hundreds of Plays
It is said that Cao Chun felt extremely stressed under the violent attack of Yique's heavy sword, which was like mercury pouring down the ground. The thin sharp knife in his hand was like scrap metal, and he was almost forced to jump off the ring. In the end, Cao Chun had no choice but to perform the "Butterfly Wings" light kung fu stunt that pressed against the bottom of the box. His body drew an arc in the void, and then flew back to the edge of the ring like a butterfly piercing a flower.
Unfortunately, Chen Long succeeded in his move, leaving Cao Chun no chance to breathe. He looked like a shooting star chasing the moon, drew an arc behind Cao Chun, followed him up like a radar-guided gun, and swept with all his strength with a heavy sword. When he came out, Cao Chun's feet had not yet touched the ground. He could not avoid it, so he had to strike hard with the heavy sword to protect himself.
A round of flames suddenly exploded in the air, followed by a loud bang. Cao Chun's whole body was like a baseball hit by a home run, flying towards the distant audience, hitting the loess with a loud bang, sending up dust all over the sky. This was Chen Long's mercy. When Cao Chun stood up in disgrace with the help of the audience, Chen Long was already on the stage accepting the cheers of the audience.
Cao Chun felt that his bones were broken and his muscles were numb, and he could not lift his left hand. At this moment, the audience looked for the steel knife that was flying to an unknown place. They couldn't help looking at each other in shock. The place where the steel knife blade contacted the heavy sword had been smashed into twists. The shape is shockingly black, like the traces left after an explosion. Cao Chun said nothing, stared hard at Chen Long's figure on the stage, then limped into the crowd and disappeared with the broken knife in his hand.
Chen Long was already surrounded by congratulatory crowds on the stage. Seeing Chen Long's power in the audience, Ma Yunluo was happy for him but felt even more conflicted. With a husband like this, what more could he ask for, but for the sake of Chen Long's great cause in the world and the survival of the Tianshui Gang, he still has to be ruthless and fight with the one he loves with all his strength. His only choice is to lose his youth. Before, I waited until the day when Ai Lang unified Xiliang.
In an age where there are tigers and wolves everywhere, this kind of waiting may last a lifetime. Maybe until death, you can only keep love in your heart and endure suffering that ordinary people do not have.
Ma Yunluan was weeping secretly here, but Chen Long's love rival Zhang Ji was dumbfounded. He felt like an ant on a hot pot, and felt like he had taken a bite of coptis, and he couldn't express his pain. This is Chen Long's true strength. Zhang Jigang's complacent confidence almost collapsed at this moment.
How did this barbarian boy of unknown origin get such high martial arts skills and such high literary talent?
Zhang Ji, who had always been proud and arrogant, lamented in his heart that he was really being compared to others.
The second round of the martial arts contest finally ended, and it was much more exciting than the first round. Especially the battle between Huaiyang and Ouyang Chun made the audience excited and full of expectations for the upcoming final round.
Although Du Shu, the master of Yique's heavy sword, was seriously injured, his face was glowing red at the moment. His heavy sword was showing off in the arena, and his Du family was also proud of it. At this moment, Du Ji, the head of the Du family, had already squeezed in beside Chen Long. His gray beard trembled and he said with a smile: "Young hero is mighty. The attack formula in the Yique sword formula is too heavy for the weight of the heavy sword. People from the Du family No one has ever been able to succeed in cultivation. Now that I see that the young hero can wield a sword as fast as flying, I, Mr. Du Bo, am so relieved!"
Huaiyang understood that although the Yique Sword was an heirloom of the Du family, its functions could not be passed down due to the lack of talents. The key to the heavy sword attack in the accompanying sword art is that the weight of the sword itself becomes an obstacle in actual practice.
There were so many people and Chen Long didn't have time to thank Du Ji, so he had to smile and hold Du Ji's hands together, with a look of like-mindedness on their faces. Du Ji laughed and said: "The great sword of Yique has found its owner! This sword has a fate with the young hero, so I gave it to him as a daily weapon."
Chen Long was about to refuse when he heard that Du Ji had already turned around and said: "A man has made his word and it is hard to follow him, so don't refuse! I will reward you by breaking Zhang Ji's leg bone!" After that, he laughed and strode towards the ring. Go down.
Chen Long thought to himself that he didn't expect Du Ji to be somewhat heroic. His blood surged in his chest and he loudly agreed: "Don't worry, Master! I, Huaiyang, will definitely defeat Zhang Ji!"
The host Zhang Ji, who was squeezed out, heard the two men's unscrupulous and blatant shouts to break Zhang Ji's leg bones. His face and nose almost became crooked. He gritted his molars and endured it. Who could Let Zhang Ji hit the eldest son of the Du family first with his heavy hand.
Before the final round, as usual, there was a singing and dancing talent show from ethnic minorities. This time, however, it was somewhat different from the Bayu Dance performed the first time. The artists on stage performed various burlesques and acrobatics, which was the so-called "Hundreds of Fish, Dragon, and Hundred Shows".
Entertainment before the Han Dynasty took "martial arts" and "play" as the two major themes, and was connected in ten parts: archery, martial arts, imperial skills, hand fighting, animal fighting, Cuju, pot throwing, Bai Xi, health preservation, and chess games. Various military martial arts and leisure games are formed. Among them, "Baixi" has a very special status, covering music, dance, acrobatics, illusions, martial arts, comedy performances, etc. It is the general name for music, dance and acrobatic performances in the Han Dynasty. Among them, there is a record that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "performed a large-scale fish and dragon show" to entertain guests from all over the world. Many scenes of hundreds of operas are vividly reproduced on the portrait bricks of the Han Dynasty. The court of the Han Dynasty entertained foreign envoys and ethnic minorities with grand performances of hundreds of operas. The leader, as well as handstand acrobatic figurines from the Han Dynasty, brick rubbings of acrobatic dance and music portraits from the Eastern Han Dynasty, etc., all present fascinating and exciting scenes of hundreds of opera performances. This shows that Baixi at that time was already at a very high level.
The performances of Huren Baixi are more colorful, including sword playing, ball dancing, handstands, rope walking, giant beast dancing, big bird playing, horse riding skills, jacking poles, upper poles on carts, five cases, seven plates, fish and dragons There are many techniques such as holding bowls, swallowing knives, spitting fire, butchering people, cutting horses, playing wine jars, playing horns, stacking arhats, etc. Unfortunately, there are only a few that have been passed down, and most of them have been lost.
There was a lot of excitement on the stage. Just after performing the "rope walk", another bearded man came on stage to perform the "jumping sword", which attracted bursts of applause. Jumping sword is also called "playing swords" or "flying swords". He first skillfully and skillfully throws and plays with three daggers with his hands. One is in his hand, and the other two are flying high in the air, throwing them continuously. One after another, the audience's eyes were filled with the shadow of swords, but he seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll, and he could also tell some jokes with the audience below. The assistant next to him suddenly threw another dagger, and the big barbarian man threw it out smoothly. At this time, there were already four daggers flying up and down. The big man was still able to do it with ease, making some funny moves pretending to make mistakes, causing The audience kept cheering and laughing. Immediately after the fifth and sixth swords, the daggers were continuously sent up into the sky like meteors. The big man began to sweat all over his face and frowned. He was no longer as relaxed as he was at the beginning. It was obvious that his hand speed had gradually reached his limit. At this time, fierce drumbeats suddenly sounded, and the assistant was shocked when he heard it. He threw out the last sword in his hand without hesitation, and went straight towards the chest of the big man who was performing.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
