"Discussion..." When the waiter heard this question, his expression became slightly serious and said:
"Sir, if you ask this, you must also know that private fighting is prohibited in Yanzhou, right?"
Not only the head guard Lin, but also the businessman and his son also nodded, because Yanzhou itself is the front line against the demon cult, so internal private fights are naturally prohibited, but...
"I remember that when I came here last year, there should be a sword testing platform." Lin Biaotou frowned and said, "When we passed by Yumen before, the sword testing platform in Yumen was still there..."
"Well, there are still some of these. There are quite a lot of them in Jining City. Lord Xuan and the elders of the major sects will occasionally release some resources for the younger generation to compete." The waiter replied immediately, but the head guard Lin frowned. road:
"You mean there's nowhere else to go?"
"Yeah." The waiter nodded and said, "Mainly because after the spread of the "Xuanjun Secret Sutra", the martial arts people in Yanzhou are no longer at the master level. Many newcomers can't hold back, and accidents are prone to happen even in the ring. , there are several seniors from Baicao Hall in Jining, as well as medical officers from the Imperial Medical Office who came to learn the "Rouzhi Life Extension Method", so even if there is an accident, there will be time to save people."
When the head guard Lin heard this, he didn't ask any more questions. The old businessman was a good man and said immediately:
"Our destination is Jining City anyway. If Lin's hands are itchy, you might as well give it a try."
"That's what I meant." Lin Biao nodded, and the others asked some questions about the changes in Yanzhou. After everyone below them had eaten and drank enough, they set off on their journey again.
This year's Yanzhou is much more stable than in previous years. At least there is no demon from the Demon Cult who doesn't know where it came from along the way. In previous years, at least 30% of the servants were lost this year. This alone is enough. It was enough to make the people in the team aware of the changes in Yanzhou.
After three days of walking along the way, Jining City finally appeared in sight. It still had the same towering city walls and the same soldiers who were waiting in full formation, but today's Jining is different from previous years.
The city gate, which is supposed to be empty and closed most of the time. Even if it is opened, there will be strict censorship. At this time, the city gate is completely open. From time to time, you can see martial arts people in yellow robes coming in and out, although it is not as good as The capital of Inner Kyushu is so prosperous, but it also has some signs of revival.
The old businessman stepped down from the carriage in the middle and was escorted by two bodyguards to the front. He handed the road guide and the caravan voucher to the other party. He planned to negotiate with the officers and soldiers of the Demon Exorcist Division guarding the door as usual, but the other party heard that He said in a slightly excited tone:
"Silk is in hot demand right now, so you came at the right time! Are there any shops you are familiar with? Do you need help from the government to contact buyers to bid?"
"No, no need!" The old businessman couldn't adapt to the words of the demon slayer soldier for a while, and said in a daze:
"Can we go in right now? No need to go through inspection?"
Hearing the old businessman's question, the officers and soldiers of the Demon Slayer Department smiled and said:
"Now there is no need for a detailed examination by medical officers! The ability of warriors who have practiced the method of absorbing demons and restraining evil spirits to sense demonic energy is much more reliable than the external examination of medical officers. Since they did not find demonic energy from you, the medical officers also You can’t do more, of course, you will still follow the same rules after entering the city, understand!”
"Of course, of course!" The old businessman nodded and immediately greeted the convoy into the city. The news of the arrival of a large number of silks spread throughout the city almost immediately. Before the convoy could finish unloading, people were already waving silver notes from all walks of life. Surrounded by people and dealers.
Seeing that there were officers and soldiers from the Demon Slayer Department maintaining order, and there was no need for bodyguards here for the time being, head guard Lin said hello to the boss, and followed the guidance of memory and passers-by to a sword-testing platform.
At this time, there is a young man in his late twenties standing on the ring. He is wearing a hooded light yellow silk cloak. He has a handsome face and a complexion as white as jade. In the arena, even if his skills are ordinary, he can at least get a " "Jade-faced Young Master" and other good names, but these days, Lin Biaotou has seen this kind of appearance a lot. The Xuanjun Secret Sutra seems to be similar to the plain girl's mental method in "Guanghan Palace", which can improve the practitioner's mental state. appearance.
As an old martial artist, Lin Biaotou did not immediately challenge him. Instead, he listened carefully and caught an interesting piece of news——
"It seems that the owner of this 'Devil's Hand' has been decided!"
"Devil's hand?" Lin Biao took a few steps forward and said with a familiar look:
"Fellow, I just came to Yanzhou, what is this devil's hand you are talking about? Is there a prize in this arena?"
Hearing his question, the passerby immediately became interested. As we all know, it is human nature to be a teacher. When meeting outsiders, he naturally took on the pride of locals:
"It is an old tradition that there is a prize in the Yanzhou Sword Trial Arena. As long as you can become the champion and win ten games in a row, you can take away the prize, but this time it is different."
"Oh?" Head Guard Lin put on a curious expression at the right time, and the local man immediately said cheerfully:
"You know, Xuanjun? Legend has it that he was the descendant of Jiqiao Palace hundreds of years ago. He built a suit of iron armor on his own. He entered and exited Qingzhou seven times, killing all the demon cubs without leaving a piece of armor, and then he broke into the huge world. He founded a sect in Jining City, and this Heavenly Demon Hand is a pair of fist gloves made by him. Don't think of it as an ordinary weapon. The weapons made by Xuanjun are all spiritual. They are said to be divine weapons. Not an exaggeration!”
"Then what are the conditions for entering this arena?" Guard Chief Lin suddenly became interested. The pursuit of magical weapons by Jianghu people is engraved in their bones. There are no examples of giving up the weapons they originally learned for a good weapon. There are only a few, not to mention that he is the type who is proficient in boxing and kicking.
When the passerby heard this, he just shook his head and said:
“The sword trial arena didn’t have any rules before, but this year because there are many rookies, the arena is specially divided into black and yellow categories.
"Grandmaster Huang Lei is not allowed to play. It is a place for newcomers to compete and learn from each other. Most of the prizes are not valuable, just some training resources.
"And here is the Xuan Lei. Theoretically, anyone can come on stage to challenge, but if you don't become a grandmaster and come on stage, I'm afraid you will only be humiliating yourself.
"Of course, it's not impossible if the younger generation wants to ask the master for advice, but this kind of challenge will not be counted in the number of rounds defended.
"After all, the referees and the audience are not blind. They will not try their best. They will naturally see whether there is cheating or cheating. If someone wants to cheat and get the lottery prize, they will basically not be able to survive in Jining City."
The guard leader Lin could naturally hear the warning in the passerby's words, but he didn't pay attention at all. Instead, he cast his eyes on the ring. When the referee asked "Is there anyone else who challenges?", he immediately rushed to the ring with force on his feet. , smiled and said:
"I come!"
No one is complaining, it’s so boring...
