Cheng Zixian saw that both of them were blushing because of what he said, so he stopped playing and asked: "Second brother, please explain to me in detail the behavior of the two factions and Tianji Pavilion in the past few days. .”
Seeing that Third Brother was merciful and finally let him live, Mo Li took a breath and recounted what happened in the past few days.
From how Sima Sect Master heard that Ji Cangran was invited to come to Nanyang and rushed here quickly, how he witnessed various competitions and conflicts between the two factions, to what the eight participants said at the banquet at the gathering of four parties last night, After listening, Cheng Zixian closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then said: "It's really strange..."
Li Qiye also agreed: "That's true. The movements of Tianji Pavilion are a bit confusing."
Cheng Zixian nodded and said: "In my opinion, Tianji Pavilion is strange in two ways. First, as you just said, Tianji Pavilion's attitude towards the Huashan and Diancang factions is intriguing. On the surface, the two factions treat Tianji Pavilion. They are all targets that need to be won over, so why does Tianji Pavilion prefer one to another? In any case, although this point is not clear, it is worth paying attention to. "
Yuqin asked: "What about the second point?"
Cheng Zixian replied: "Secondly, since the last chapter of "The Return of Ten Thousand Warriors", the Yangxin Pavilion failed to frame us, but we defeated an entire army, Tianji Pavilion has been too lenient towards the Sima family. If I were Ji Canran , I must always be thinking about how to pull out this thorn in the flesh. This time we met on a narrow road, and Tianji Pavilion and we met again in Nanyang, but they also made no movement."
Li Qiye murmured: "Could it be that they are recharging their energy and planning to wait until the time is right to seize the leader in one fell swoop?"
Cheng Zixian said: "This is not impossible, but there is another situation, that is, our current movements are exactly what they want, so they can be cured by remaining calm and doing nothing."
Tao Baicheng also asked: "But didn't they cause trouble at Xiangyun Restaurant a few days ago, causing the two factions to start fighting?"
Li Qiye shook his head and said: "This matter is purely aimed at the two factions. Regardless of whether we are here or not, I think they will probably take action."
Seeing that Cheng Zixian was silent, Li Moli asked, "Third brother?"
Cheng Zixian said: "Well, I have a plan. In addition to restraining Tianji Pavilion so that they have no time to act rashly during this gathering of the two factions, I can also test their movements and whether they really intend to graze on us. Second Brother , you come with me, we will talk to the sect leader."
Mei Fengjun asked curiously: "What kind of plan is that? Can you tell Aunt Mei about it too?"
Cheng Zixian said mysteriously: "Mr. Cheng has his own clever plan to bring peace to the world, so Plum Girl doesn't need to worry too much."
Mei Fengjun rolled her eyes at him and muttered: "Huh, don't tell me if you don't want to tell me. Isn't that rare? Don't lose your wife and lose your troops with your 'Cheng Lang's clever plan'!"
Cheng Zixian smiled and said: "Let's just make this plan work. Anyway, Zixian doesn't have a wife to accompany him, and he doesn't have any soldiers under his command. If it doesn't work, it will probably not be a loss."
Tao Baicheng asked again: "Third Master, since the Sect Leader, Mei Nuxia, Second Master, and Third Master are all here at this time, why don't we just make an appointment with Tianji Pavilion and have a battle between the two sides? Wouldn't it be clean and tidy?"
Mei Fengjun hit Tao Baicheng on the head with a knife and said with a smile: "When we travel in the world, we must act according to the rules of the world. In the world, we always pay attention to "justice". If we don't have sufficient evidence to point out how they caused harm to the world, we just If we use brute force to confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans, wouldn’t they become bandits? Besides, their strength is unknown, and we may not be sure of victory."
Cheng Zixian sighed and thought leisurely: "I opened this road and planted this tree. I want to live from now on and leave the money to buy the road." Alas! Being a good person is so troublesome. Sometimes I would rather Be a bandit."
Having said that, Cheng Zixian was dressed as a scholar, holding a folding fan and a bamboo basket with books. If anyone here looked the least like a bandit, it was himself.
Li Qiye also smiled and said: "Isn't it? Besides, there are many martial arts people today who agree with the concept of "The Return of Ten Thousand Warriors", and if they take action rashly, they may cause more unnecessary disputes. This is also the brilliance of Tianji Pavilion. "
In the afternoon of this day, in addition to the competition venue where the two factions gathered in the middle of the academy, a large area was left open for people from Tianji Pavilion and the Sima family to use. The disciples of the two factions were suspicious. In the past, only Ji Cangran and Sima Sect Leader met in front of each other. Come to serve as a judge, why are other figures from Tianji Pavilion and the Sima family gathered here today?
At this time, the afternoon trip was being prepared, but Yao Yunyang and Yu Junyan suddenly came to the field together. Yao Yunyang first said to the disciples of the two groups: "After the suggestion of the Sima family yesterday, and the competition in the following few days, the colleagues of the Sima family and Tianji Pavilion We will also come off the stage to communicate and discuss together. As always, I ask you to participate in this grand event by upholding the spirit of hitting the mark and making friends with force."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar, and the disciples of the two factions talked about it, and most of them were excited. After all, during the Nanyang gathering, the two factions were fighting openly and secretly, and the atmosphere was chaotic. Although the disciples involved were impetuous, the disciples who had no intention of fighting were They were also deeply affected and could not concentrate on martial arts exchanges, so everyone had been feeling sulky for a long time.
At this time, it was an unexpected surprise to learn that they could witness the actions of the characters from the Sima Family and Tianji Pavilion. Everyone was in high spirits and looked forward to the subsequent competition.
Mo Li was secretly amused on the sidelines, and couldn't help but think to himself, Yao Yunyang wanted everyone to "continue as usual", so how could he say the words "make friends with force until the point is reached", and "live and die, fight to the death" is more or less the same?
Yu Junyan continued: "Quiet! The purpose of the gathering of the two factions has always been to enhance each other's progress in martial arts through exchanges with fellow martial artists. This time the Sima Family and Tianji Pavilion are willing to participate in this grand event. That is It is a blessing to Dian Cang and Huashan, so please don’t miss this opportunity and watch and learn with your heart.”
After finishing speaking, Yu Junyan turned around and bowed his hands to Ji Cangran and Sima Sect Master in greeting. Yao Yunyang also acted at the same time, and Ji Cangran and Sima Sect Master who were in the judging seats at the back also stood up and returned the greeting.
Since today's competition is not limited to themes, it can be used freely, that is, any weapons and martial arts can be used, but poison cannot be used.
At this time, in order to boost the morale of everyone present, Cheng Zixian was dismissed from the first match today, and his opponent arranged for Yuan Xiangjin, the "Jade Girl Sleeve" of Huashan, to fight against him.
Both of these two people have been famous in the world for a long time, and everyone is looking forward to it. Even the people in the Sima family are looking forward to seeing Cheng Zixian, who rarely uses force, take action.
The gathering of the two factions originally planned to only allow young disciples to compete, but considering the reputation and achievements of famous figures from the Sima Family and Tianji Pavilion, they are definitely not comparable to ordinary disciples. If the winner can be determined in just a few moves during the competition, then it will not matter. What's there to see?
Therefore, in order to cope with the addition of Sima Family and Tianji Pavilion, the two factions also specially allowed the elders in the faction to compete.
When the time came, I saw Yuan Xiangjin, the leader from the left, slowly walking into the arena. Generally speaking, most ordinary warriors wore clothes with tight cuffs to facilitate the movement of their hands, but Yuan Xiangjin wore a red robe with large sleeves, with clouds embroidered on the collar and cuffs. The pattern is very gorgeous.
If ordinary people saw her on the road, they would probably think that she was the top dancer of a wealthy family, or that she was going to a banquet. However, people in Huashan would not be surprised, because this dress is exactly the "Jade Girl Sleeve" A well-known signature dress.
At this time, Cheng Zixian, who was on the right, also walked onto the stage. He still maintained his usual scholarly appearance, wearing a gray robe and a square scarf. He was simple and unpretentious. He was exactly the opposite of Yuan Xiangjin. The bamboo basket behind him had been removed, and he only had a handful of paper in his hand. Fan on the field.
When the two came to the court, Yuan Xiangjin bowed first and said: "I have always heard of the name "Flower-seeking Scholar", Yuan Xiangjin will learn from it today!"
Cheng Zixian returned the favor and said with a smile: "Easy to say, easy to say! It's just a compliment from friends in the world, and it's just a bit of fame for me. It's a pleasure for me to fight against the 'Jade Girl's Sleeve' today."
After the two sides greeted each other, Ji Cangran immediately announced the start of the competition. Yuan Xiangjin took the lead, taking two steps closer to Cheng Zixian's body. At the same time, he twirled his body, his long sleeves fluttering, like a dancer dancing gracefully.
Cheng Zixian has been wandering around in the world for many years, and has already heard the name of "Jade Girl Sleeves". He knows that behind her pleasing dance posture, there is hidden the Huashan palm technique "Hundred Knot Hands". At the same time, two red sleeves fly like two red clouds, which is very exciting. It's dazzling and dizzying, and it's very difficult.
