They feasted on wine and meat, and competed in martial arts for fun. Taking advantage of the bright moon in June and the chirping of insects in the lotus pond, Situ Jianzhuang held a bonfire to meet friends with martial arts.
The two elders of Jianzhuang and the master of Situqing made the judgment, and the friends of Yiwu Huihui took the last call.
Many Jianghu people also actively participated, and the exciting fights added a lot of fun.
Zhao Zhengli kept eating and drinking, because the Situ family's wine and meat were really delicious. While eating, he thought, it would be great if he could bring some to Taoist Yuan. The wine was soothing to the throat but not spicy, and the meat was full of flavor. He thought about it. It's an absolute pity, I should have asked my senior brother to go all the way down the mountain.
A young man's voice came from the field: "That white-faced bandit hero, can you give me a favor and compete with Xiao Dai?"
Everyone in the audience followed his gaze and looked at the white-faced boy who was immersed in eating and drinking. The other person didn't react at all and continued to eat by himself, which attracted a lot of smiles from people in the world.
The strong man Lao Yue touched Zhao Zhengli and said, "The Taoist priest is asking you to compete in martial arts!"
He then raised his head belatedly, holding the pig's trotters in one hand and the wine in the other, chewing in his mouth. He found that everyone in the audience was staring at him, and they were more good-tempered than the young man in the arena, waiting for his response.
Zhao Zhengli waved the hand holding the pig's trotters: "Where can I get food and drink during the competition? You can find someone else. You can't let down the good wine and food."
The whole audience burst into laughter as soon as these words came out, but everyone in Situ Jianzhuang was the only one who was embarrassed. Several elders and the owner of the village obviously enjoyed this casual flattery.
The young man who called himself Xiao Dai did not get angry and said, "Xiao Dai just wants to judge my qualifications to participate in the suppression of bandits through my heroic skills."
These words directly raised the friendship discussion to several realms, making it impossible to refuse.
The middle-aged man Hu Hai wanted to use this to relieve the white-faced Taoist priest's worries and increase his favor: "How about you let me try?"
He aroused strong dissatisfaction as soon as he answered the question. There was a big age gap between the two, and there was naturally a big gap in their cultivation. Isn't this a case of bullying the younger?
Hu Hai groaned in his heart. Later you will know what it means to bully the small with the big. Anyway, he did this favor.
The resistance that had just been calmed down, a clear voice sounded: "It's the same as letting my sister try it first!"
The person who spoke was Biyu Birou not far away. This move was beyond the scope of Zhao Daozhang's thinking. What did they mean by struggling to come forward? Could it be that he is afraid that he will lose face as a "bandit-suppressing hero"?
Of course, his real intention was not stupid, it was just to gain a good impression in front of him and make subsequent cooperation more pleasant. In fact, he wanted to say that he wanted to cooperate in depth from the moment the two sisters took off their veils.
All this was a different scene in the eyes of others, who all thought that the white-faced boy was a "vase" protected by several of his companions.
Daochang Zhao naturally doesn't care about this. He feels that what he eats in his stomach at this moment is the real thing. What's the use of being crowned "No. 1 in the world"? You can't eat or drink, and it's an eyesore and attracts hatred.
The two sisters Biyu and Birou successfully replaced the "vase" they supported. Only Biyu entered the venue. She was wearing a long skirt and holding a rapier in one hand. Through the bonfire, she could be seen squinting at Zhao Huaping's movements, and Zhao Huaping was smiling at her with a grin on his face. His smile was as gentle as bathing in the spring breeze. Biyu's expression faltered and she hurriedly avoided it.
As the saying goes, "The stranger is like jade, and the young master is unparalleled." Anyone who has just observed Zhao Huaping's watery smile can understand this truth.
But unfortunately, few people paid attention to him, and Biyu and Birou happened to see him. The two sisters felt that his smile almost killed them.
The two women seemed to understand the joke circulating on the Beijing beauty list: "Beautiful women enchant the soul, and good-looking men kill."
Isn't this white-faced Taoist the master of death?
The fight started in response, Xiao Dai greeted him with a long sword, and Biyu followed with a thin sword in one hand. The two fought in an instant. Biyu dodges the opponent's full sword with lightness and dexterity, and then attacks from the side and behind quietly. Like a ghost, Xiao Dai didn't have time to turn around and raise his sword to the side. Using the inertia, he moved back a few meters to open up a distance. Jasper held the sword and chased her. Her movements in the air were like those of a fairy, with her skirt flying and her thin sword stabbing straight.
Xiao Dai opened enough distance and had time to block and counterattack. The sword as thin as a silver snake was approaching instantly. Xiao Dai was expecting to block it with the horizontal sword, but unexpectedly the opponent suddenly moved sideways in the air and appeared behind him, waiting for him. When he reacted, a thin sword was already placed on his neck.
This strange movement technique surprised everyone present. It was almost against common sense to change places in battle, but they did it. They just fought with only ten moves, including two transfers, and Xiao Dai was convinced that he had lost. He took it orally, but the look he looked at Zhao Huaping before leaving was still full of contempt and disdain.
Daochang Zhao smiled at him. After all, losers also need comfort.
Then he started to work on eating and drinking again. His appetite was obvious to everyone, so they didn't find it strange.
Subsequently, there was another fight between Jianghu people, and Lao Yue also took advantage of the drunkenness to step forward and join in the fun. He competed with a tall and thin man holding a gun. The two exchanged hundreds of blows, and finally defeated the opponent by half a move, which became one of the few exciting events. Fight.
In the second half, Situ Qing, the owner of Situ Jianzhuang, specially invited Hu Hai to spar in order to add to the fun. The two were also masters of swordsmanship and continued to fight hundreds of times without using their true energy. The stunning martial arts fight directly pushed the scene to the climax. Climax, in the end Situ Qing deliberately lost half a move to Hu Hai to finish.
The loser's moves were all watertight. After all, the two of them were considered top-notch at the scene. Only a few could see the flaws, and most people still thought the fight was a draw.
Zhao Huaping secretly sighed at the side. It is true that women have more eyes. Situ Qing even sold Hu Hai a face without losing face. A simple martial arts competition was full of human touch.
"Master Situ is so elegant! Can you give me a favor and compete with Lao Cao?"
The rich voice came from outside the sword village, and before he finished speaking, a few figures appeared on the wall like a ghost.
, the leader was a man in black robes, more than fifty years old, holding a long sword in his hand. Under the moonlight, he could vaguely see a pair of eagle eyes looking down at everyone. Standing on both sides of the wall, the youngest was in his early thirties, with sword hilts exposed on his back.
Situ Qing was shocked: "Cao Mengning?" Then he calmly said: "What's the point of coming to our village late at night?"
Cao Mengning, dressed in black robe, twirled his goatee and said: "Old Cao doesn't want to be an enemy of Guijianzhuang. Unfortunately, someone killed dozens of my brothers in Erli Township, Daba County yesterday. Today, Old Cao is looking for traces here." .”
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Several men in black robes behind him shouted in unison, which echoed through the June night sky of Jianzhuang.
Situ Qing frowned and glanced at the five heroes and then looked at her elders with questioning eyes. The elders nodded slightly, and then she spoke: "I'm afraid revenge is a lie, but obeying Governor Liu's order is true, right?"
Cao Mengning jumped down in the courtyard, allowing everyone to see his thin but energetic old face. He stood with his sword behind his back and did not hide his intentions: "Chief Liu is generous to the righteous people in the world. Only those of you who don't like him will feel jealous." .Is there anything wrong with Lao Cao avenging the murder of his brothers and doing a favor to his county guard?"
An older Jianghu person at the scene was indignant: "As a Jianghu person, I feel ashamed for you. I have abandoned the people of Shu and committed crimes with the incompetent county governor."
The black-robed Cao Mengning heard the sound and smacked the man in the air with one hand. The Jianghu man who spoke was killed instantly, blood was spilled on the spot, and the powerful palm force directly overturned the wine and meat on the table.
"People who talk too much die quickly!"
He leisurely retracted his palm, without moving his feet or his head from beginning to end, as if he had just swatted a fly.
"Zong, master master?"
Many people in the arena screamed and retreated. The Grandmaster's attack spread dozens of miles in an instant. The palm just now was too fast and there was no time to react. Zhao Zhengli did not expect that the old man would do it in public at Situ Jianzhuang.
After reacting, the owner of the village, Situ Qing, shouted loudly: "You kill someone in public. Do you think that our Situ Jian Village does not exist? The people present are all guests invited by our Situ Jian Village. We must give an explanation for what happened today."
The words would cause her whole body to surge, and the two elders behind her quickly stopped her.
Before the five parties involved had time to speak, Hu Hai and Biyu Birou all turned their attention to the white-faced Taoist priest. They all panicked when they learned that the other party was a master. Only he remained calm and ate the food that he had wiped clean. Several plates of food.
To be able to achieve this level of composure, one must either have strength or a strategy, or there may be something they don't want to predict, which is to forcefully show off!
Of course, they don't think that the white-faced Taoist priest has the strength to fight against the master master. At most, he has the means to escape.
At this moment, Zhao Huaping is waiting. When Situ Jianzhuang can make some efforts, he will know how true it is. If they have any scruples, it means they don't know that the court is collecting evidence.
After all, the world is dangerous, and he doesn't know Situ Jianzhuang's intention of suddenly forming a gang to join forces.
Cao Mengning smiled scornfully when he saw her prepared to take action: "According to my investigation, it seems that the master elder of Situ Jianzhuang went to Emei to find an old friend and reminisce about the past! At present, everyone in Jianzhuang estimates that the few masters behind me can sweep through without any hindrance, so Should I make friends with you if you know someone you know, or should I get them myself?"
Elder Jianzhuang said: "Cao Mengning, don't regret what happened today!"
Cao Mengning raised his head and laughed: "Regret? Haha, the game of rivers and lakes, the division of court, this is normal." Then his eyes were fixed on the people of Situ Jianzhuang, and the long sword was pointed at the five bandit heroes: "Today, Mr. Cao only wants those five people, and if he wants to stop them, let them go!"
The Jianghu people who gathered in the courtyard were in trouble for a moment, with resentment in their hearts but no strength to resist. Several people in Situ Jianzhuang also had sullen faces. It was obvious that they couldn't be kind tonight. What's more important was that this was Situ Jianzhuang, and they were about to fight outside the Jianghu. , the Situ family's reputation in the world will definitely be damaged in the future.
Just when a few people were hesitating, Cao Mengning turned sideways and grabbed Hu Hai. In his understanding, Hu Hai was most likely the leader of the five. He was superior to the strong man Lao Yue in both appearance and demeanor. As for the other three juniors, he was even less powerful. consider.
"Qiang!"
Just as Daochang Zhao was about to take action, he suddenly saw Situ Qing blocking Cao Mengning with his sword. The long sword fell between the two of them, sinking into the stone slab several feet deep. She knew she was outmatched, but she still chose to fight against this well-known bandit leader.
The main reason is due to the reputation of Jianzhuang. Even if he loses in the end, he is still strong and can easily explain to the world and the forces behind the suppression of bandits. Of course, Situ Qing is also betting that even if he defeats Cao Mengning, She didn't dare to kill her, so she planned to fight with all her strength this time.
Cao Mengning didn't waste any more nonsense. When he saw her standing up with his sword to block her, he raised his foot to kick the sword away, and then grabbed Hu Hai without moving his claws.
Naturally, Hu Hai would not sit still and wait for death. He raised his sword and used his true energy to block it. At this time, Situ Qing was already approaching, and then the two young masters worked together to resist the master master. The courtyard was filled with sword energy and true energy. The two young masters were almost crushed and violent. hit.
"kill!"
When the few young masters standing on the wall saw Cao Mengning taking action, they naturally followed him, aiming directly at the remaining four people. They fought together in the courtyard. What surprised Zhao Zhengli was that most of the Jianghu people chose to watch. He was relieved, and so were the Jianghu people. People are naturally afraid of death, so only a few capable people can help, and the few capable people in Situ Jianzhuang are naturally among them.
On Hu Hai's side, he and Situ Qing could not withstand even ten moves from Cao Mengning, both of them were bleeding. On the other hand, Cao Mengning's black robe at the master level was not messy, and his sword was not even unsheathed.
Seeing the situation, Zhao Zhengli no longer held back, unleashed his master-level strength, and slapped the young master who had fought with him dozens of moves to death.
Everyone in the audience felt the huge change in their true energy, and then looked at the white-faced boy with almost frightened eyes.
The person who was most slapped in the face at the moment was Xiao Dai, who had challenged him to compete earlier. Thinking of the scene of him leaving the field with contempt and disdain for him after losing, he felt cold.
Lao Yue and Biyu Birou, who had been with him for two days, were as surprised and scared as they were when they encountered a monster.
The young white-faced Taoist priest appeared opposite Cao Mengning with one step in the air, leaving dozens of afterimages in the air with one simple step. This was a manifestation of extreme speed and a profound understanding of the Tao.
