In just a few words, the leader of the Tianqing Gang gave everyone hope and hope for the future. He glanced at everyone's expectant eyes and continued:
"In this selection, regardless of origin, age, gender, as long as the kung fu is good, we will all approve it. All matters have been handed over to a few Taibao, who are fully responsible for this matter. Just go for it and fight for it. A bright future is waiting for you. .”
After the leader finished speaking, he jumped up and turned into an afterimage that gradually became smaller and disappeared on top of the red mountaintop opposite.
"Congratulations, Master!"
"The leader is really a living god!"
"We will follow the leader to the death!"
Many people fell to their knees under the high platform, impressed by the leader's skills and moved by his words.
Later, Tian Mang, one of the ten Taibao of the Tianqing Gang, came on stage to convey the matters related to the competition to select the young master. Preparations will begin today, so that everyone can make some adjustments for the official competition tomorrow.
The competition adopts an elimination system, as long as five players win in a row, they will be shortlisted, and the best will be selected at the end.
Both sides of the game are randomly generated by registration on the same day, avoiding backstage operations. The winner must win consecutively. If you lose one of these five games, you have to start all over again.
Although the rules are a bit harsh, for some people, they are determined to win, and they walk away proudly to accumulate strength for the upcoming competition.
Gu Shengchao looked for Fang Ju in the crowd and saw that she was returning with the women's camp team. He had no chance to speak alone and had to give up.
On the second day, the selection of Young Master Tianqing officially began, with a one-on-one competition on the high platform, and there were many onlookers below.
Gu Shengchao searched patiently and finally saw Fang Ju in the crowd.
She raised her head and watched the game above intently.
Gu Shengchao squeezed in front of Fang Ju and waved to her cautiously, hoping that the other party would see him. Unexpectedly, she was completely attracted by the competition on the high platform and was completely unaware of the changes around her.
Looking up, one person is holding a wooden sword and the other is holding a wooden spear, and we are fighting together.
The participants are all members of the Tianqing Gang. In order to avoid fatal injuries, various weapons made of wood have been specially prepared for everyone to choose from.
The spear was like a dragon coming out of the sea, and the sword was like a silver snake spitting out a message. The two men were inseparable from each other for a while.
"good!"
Some people applauded and applauded them when they saw the highlights.
"Oops, be careful."
Some people clench their fists in fear when they see danger.
Gu Shengchao secretly looked at Fang Ju and saw that she was sometimes nervous and short of breath, sometimes excited and slightly tiptoed to jump up, sometimes frustrated and pumping her fist to annoy the contestants.
Totally immersed in it and unable to extricate myself.
The two men fought for hundreds of rounds on the high platform, and the man with the gun seemed to have the upper hand, but Gu Shengchao could see that he was starting to falter and was getting tired, and his steps became heavy at every turn.
On the other hand, the man wielding the sword still walked steadily, and it was not difficult at all to move around.
In order to end the game as early as possible, the person wielding the gun flew up and down with the gun in his hand, covering the opponent in the shadow of the gun.
Seeing that the opponent was at the end of his strength, the man wielding the sword deliberately showed a weakness, staggered and almost fell.
"careful."
When Fang Ju saw that the spear was about to pierce the man's back, she couldn't help but scream out in fear.
The man wielding the sword was waiting for this moment. He suddenly jumped back and stabbed the opponent's front door with a sword.
The incident happened so suddenly that the person who shot the gun was caught off guard and had to duck in a hurry.
The tip of the sword parted the hair on the man's head, and his long hair immediately spread out and fell down, blocking his sight.
"you lose."
The man wielding the sword landed firmly behind the man wielding the spear, with the wooden sword pressed against the opponent's back.
Regardless of whether the other party agreed or not, he put away his sword and handed it over to the surroundings and the several Taibao who were watching and judging. When he saw the eunuchs nodding in approval, he walked vigorously towards the stage.
"impossible!"
"I want to fight you to the death!"
The man with the spear couldn't afford to lose, so he swung the spear with disheveled hair and smashed it down.
"Oops, get out of the way!"
Fang Ju was anxious for the people on the stage, stamping her feet and shouting.
The wind roared in his ears, which made the man with the sword dare not be careless. He jumped forward and jumped far away before turning around to take a look.
"Crack!"
The wooden spear hit the ground paved with bluestones and broke instantly in the middle.
"I can't spare you!"
The man who wielded the gun raised half of the gun barrel and chased after him.
A Taibao who was watching the battle stood up and tried to stop him, but was pulled by the Taibao next to him. He gently waved his hand and whispered a few words. He nodded and sat down again.
The man wielding the sword originally hoped that the eunuchs would intervene to stop him, but when he saw that they remained calm, he had no choice but to bravely confront them.
The man wielding the spear was so angry that he had already thrown himself into disarray. What's more, only half of the spear in his hand was turned into a short stick, so he was still an opponent.
Within ten moves, the opponent stabbed him in the chest with a sword and received a kick in the lower abdomen.
"ah!"
The man who wielded the gun lost half of the gun shaft in his hand, flew high and fell from the high platform.
The crowd of spectators dispersed in all directions, and no one came to respond.
"thump!"
The man fell heavily and landed on the rocky beach created by the water in the valley.
"Ouch!"
The rocks were of different sizes, and he groaned and twitched a few times, presumably from the pain of falling.
"Deserve it!"
Fang Ju mocked disdainfully. She seemed to see something with her peripheral vision. She looked intently and finally saw clearly that it was the ancient sage Chao standing in front of her.
"antiquity……"
Fang Ju almost screamed, but Gu Shengchao raised his index finger to his lips and said "shush", signaling her to be silent. Fang Ju then suppressed the rest of her words.
Gu Shengchao pointed outside, and Fang Ju followed Gu Shengchao knowingly. The two of them came out of the crowd of onlookers one after another.
There are only a few people here and the two of them are not conspicuous together. It is just the right time for them to whisper and other people will not feel unusual if they see them.
Fang Ju took Gu Shengchao's arm and said excitedly: "Brother Gu, when did you come? Did you say hello the night before yesterday? It sounded like you but I couldn't find him."
She raised her eyes and stared at Gu Shengchao expectantly.
Gu Shengchao could only nod: "It's me. There were a lot of people talking at that time. I was new here and was afraid of affecting you, so I left early."
"Tell me, why are you here at Tianqing Gang?"
The two said in unison.
Gu Shengchao smiled: "I'd better come first!"
He met Wan Yanxi in Beihu and learned that her grandfather happened to be the owner of the old house in Yunshang City. He was now alone and sent her back. He briefly explained his experience during this period.
"It's your turn now." Gu Shengchao was eager to know the truth.
Fang Ju sighed and said, "Don't mention it. The master and I finally let the master know about our sneaking out. He sent several experts to Yunqi Palace to pick up the miss back home. The two of us pretended to go back and packed our luggage and escaped secretly, but unexpectedly we were outside the city. Let’s catch up.”
"The young lady and I fought back, but the other party was very skilled in martial arts and injured me and took the young lady away."
"Then why did you come to Tianqing Gang?"
Seeing her immersed in the sadness of losing Yang Qianhui, Gu Shengchao asked.
Fang Ju then continued: "I was seriously injured at the time. Fortunately, Tianqing helped Brother Tian Mang, the Taibao, pass by and save me. Then he joined the women's camp as a military advisor, which was also a way to repay Brother Tian Mang for saving his life. I originally had a plan, which was to use the power of Tianqing Gang to rescue the young lady from the mansion."
"But when I saw Brother Gu today, I changed my mind again." She blinked her big eyes and deliberately let it slip without saying a word.
Gu Shengchao knew that this little girl had a lot of tricks, so he couldn't figure it out anyway, so he asked: "What are your plans? As long as I can help, just give me your orders."
Fang Ju showed a pleased smile: "Brother Gu is very skilled in martial arts. I would like to ask you to help me return to the Yang Mansion to pick up the young lady secretly. This will save me a lot of trouble."
After thinking about it for a moment, Gu Shengchao was confused: "Since the girl has spoken, it is understandable for me to go to the Yang Mansion. It's just that Elder Yunqi Gongshui Linglong and a few friends are secretly investigating the Tianqing Gang. Maybe they are not far away. I want to help Elder Shui fulfill his wish and then accompany you there."
Fang Ju was also horrified. She looked around and lowered her voice and said, "What, what kind of bad things did the Tianqing Gang do that actually alerted Yunqigong to intervene in the investigation?"
Gu Shengchao shook his head: "I don't know either. Anyway, 'everything in the world is bustling for profit, and everything in the world is bustling for profit.' As the saying goes, if there is no profit, you can't get up early. I guess it must have touched the interests of Yunqigong before sending Elder Shui came forward. "
"By the way, you came to the Tianqing Gang earlier than me. Do you realize what they rely on to make profits?" Gu Shengchao expressed the doubt in his heart.
Fang Ju thought for a moment and said: "I once asked Brother Tian Mang how to make a living with so many people without farming or working. He said that the rare state-owned medicinal materials in Sirang are very profitable, and the Tianqing Gang can support itself by operating these medicinal materials. The operation of the entire sect.”
So that's the case.
The terrain of Xileng Country is complex, with mountains and valleys of various landforms, and many medicinal materials are unique. Fang Ju's words are not unreasonable.
"Yunqigong also deals in various medicinal materials. If this is true, they and the Tianqing Gang may be incompatible." Gu Shengchao said worriedly.
Fang Ju sighed: "On the surface, the Tianqing Gang chants the slogan of robbing the rich and helping the poor, but in fact they do a lot of immoral things behind the scenes. I'm afraid they won't be popular for a long time. If Brother Tian Mang is not an upright man, I have something to ask for, otherwise It’s long since slipped away.”
Judging from her tone, she must have been inspired by something she saw.
"Yeah, I just came into contact with the Tianqing Gang. In order to force us to submit, they burned down the restaurant without saying a word. They kidnapped the villagers and forced them to move because of the good location of the village. What they did is disgusting." Gu Shengchao was also angry at the despicable behavior of the Qing Gang.
Fang Ju raised her eyes and looked at the competition between the two on the high platform, and asked casually: "Elder Shui treats me well, what can I do for her?"
"I don't know either, let's just wait and see what happens!" Gu Shengchao was sure that Shui Linglong and the others would definitely take action, but he didn't know about it and would only wait for them to take the initiative to contact them.
"Oh, that person is in danger." Fang Ju looked at the high platform and couldn't help but worry for him.
Gu Shengchao looked from a distance, and saw one person with bare hands and the other wielding a wooden sword. The one with bare hands kept retreating, as if he was about to be defeated.
After watching it for a moment, Gu Shengchao was shocked. The more he looked at the bare-handed man's kung fu, the more familiar he became. Isn't this the family's kung fu "Iron Arm Magic"?
Could it be that after the catastrophe of the Iron Arm Sect, any of the remaining disciples fled to the West Cold Country?
