After hearing what Zhao Niantong said, Xiao Changshan cupped his hands and said: "It turns out they are Pan and Zhao, two young heroes who have admired me for a long time! This is so polite to Xiao!"
Zhao Niantong thought to himself: "I made up these two nicknames randomly on a whim. This is the first time even I have heard them. How can you admire them for a long time? This big guy Xiao is really stupid and cute!" He thought in his heart, On the surface, he smiled and said: "Easy to say, easy to say, Brother Xiao is so polite!"
Xiao Changshan said: "I wonder where the two young heroes are in their fairyland and which sect they should follow?"
Zhao Niantong was about to answer, but Pan Suxuan interrupted and said: "To be honest with Brother Xiao, we are both orphans and were raised by our teachers since childhood. He has been out of the world for many years and has nothing to do with the world. He only had a relationship with Senior Chen when he was young. They are close friends, so we are specially sent to attend this event on behalf of his old man.”
These words are not lies. Pan and Zhao were indeed lonely and helpless since childhood. Elder Houtu kindly adopted them and taught them martial arts. It's just that Pan Suxuan avoided the important points and hid all the important points. He didn't answer the teacher's question or tell his specific life experience.
Xiao Changshan wanted to ask a few more questions, but he heard Ma Desheng say from the side: "Young heroes, this is not the place to talk. In my opinion, we should rush to Qinglong Mountain as soon as possible."
Pan and Zhao nodded, Xiao Changshan didn't know what to say when he saw this. Ma Desheng asked someone to free up another horse from the team and give it to Xiao Changshan. After this competition, the two of them felt that they cherished each other. They rode together along the way and turned enemies into friends. They talked happily and had a good rapport with each other. The feeling of regretting it too late.
Pan Suxuan saw all this and remained calm on the surface, but secretly thought in his heart: "This Xiao Changshan looks like a rich playboy on the outside, well-dressed and generous, but on the inside he possesses unique skills and deep knowledge. It seems that he came prepared for this competition to recruit a bride. What is his real purpose? Does he just want to marry a beautiful wife? "
Zhao Niantong watched Pan Suxuan riding on the horse in the sedan with his brows furrowed in thought, then he stuck his head out and whispered a few words to the servant beside him. The servant left in response, and soon squeezed out of the crowd, holding a package in his hand and handing it to Zhao Niantong.
Pan Suxuan was deep in thought when he suddenly felt a reddish-brown object coming toward him. He didn't have time to think about it, so he used the "Star Reaching from the Void" move and took the object into his hand. He held it slightly warm, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be a roasted sweet potato. .
I heard Zhao Niantong giggling from the side: "Senior brother, do you still remember it?"
Pan Suxuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "How could I forget? Isn't this your favorite food? Little sweet potatoes?"
It turns out that Zhao Niantong has been quite naughty since he was a child. He pushed back and forth, cheated and acted slippery every time he practiced. However, Elder Houtu always restrained himself and taught the two of them, especially Zhao Niantong, who had stricter requirements. Therefore, after each exercise, , Zhao Niantong was mostly scolded and shed tears. Pan Suxuan was seven or eight years older than Zhao Niantong. He had stronger aptitude and understanding and was willing to work hard. Elder Houtu often praised him highly. At the end of each practice, Pan Suxuan was usually allowed to rest, while Zhao Niantong continued to practice more. Seeing that Zhao Niantong was working very hard, Pan Suxuan often took advantage of his breaks to go to the mountains to pick some wild fruits, mountain treasures, etc. and bring them to Zhao Niantong. Among the many fruits, Zhao Niantong only likes to eat sweet potatoes, and prefers to roast them with fruit wood. They are really charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with a fragrant aroma. Every time Zhao Niantong was detained for extra training, he would burst into tears and laugh when he saw the sweet potatoes brought back by Pan Suxuan. By the time Pan Suxuan lit the fire, it was probably sunset and stars were rising. The two of them sat around the fire, eating sweet potatoes, talking and laughing, and the sparkling fire reflected on the two young and handsome faces, like the brightest eyes in the sky. The two stars...
Pan Suxuan looked at the sweet potato in his hand, and all the worries in his heart disappeared in an instant. He smiled at Zhao Niantong and saw that he was picking up another piece of sweet potato in his hand and biting it into a big bite. When Pan Suxuan saw this, he couldn't help laughing. Zhao Niantong was stunned for a moment, and then he also laughed...
It took everyone a long time to reach the foot of Qinglong Mountain under the guidance of the guards in the mansion. Pan Suxuan looked up and saw the majestic Qinglong Mountain, with its mountains stretching from west to east for hundreds of miles. Although it was still early in the spring, the entire mountain was already lush and lush with vegetation. The air is strong, and there are clouds and mist lingering halfway up the mountain, which is like a dream and a fantasy, quite like a paradise on earth, a fairyland on earth...
The venue for the competition is located in an open space in Shanyang. There are stands built with huge round sleepers around the venue in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest. Each stand can accommodate more than a thousand people. In the center stands a square arena that is five feet high and nearly a hundred meters long and wide. There are two layers of dense barbed wire around it one foot away from the arena, surrounding the arena like a birdcage. Only the northeast corner of the arena is left. There are holes for people to enter and exit. Pan Suxuan didn't know what it meant at first, but after thinking about it, he realized that the barbed wire fence was for protection. It not only prevented the swords and hidden weapons of those competing on the stage from flying into the crowd and caused accidental injuries, but also prevented people in the stands from secretly firing cold guns and hidden arrows. Hurtful!
When everyone arrived, 80% to 90% of the people in the surrounding stands were already occupied, but there were still people coming from all directions. Ma Desheng separated the crowd and led Pan Zhaoxiao and Pan Zhaoxiao to the main stand due north. Pan Suxuan looked up and saw that Chen Xiaotian, Chen Yixin, the old monk Jing Nian, the two elders of the Wudang Sect Busuo Busuo and others were already seated on the stage.
When Chen Xiaotian saw Pan and Zhao arriving, he stood up and said with a smile: "You two young heroes, please take your seats quickly, the competition is about to begin." After saying that, he looked behind the two men and saw another young man standing shoulder to shoulder with Ma Desheng, dressed luxuriously and with extraordinary bearing. .
Chen Xiaotian said: "I wonder what you call this young hero?" Ma Desheng hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Replying to the master, this is Young Master Xiao of Xiao Changshan from outside the customs. He met his subordinates on the way and came all the way today to participate in this event. This is a grand event." Logically speaking, contestants should sit in the three stands of east, west and south. Ma Desheng was worried that Chen Xiaotian would not allow Xiao Changshan to stay in the main stand, so he specially emphasized the four words "come from afar" when he spoke. He knew very well that Chen Xiaotian would not allow Xiao Changshan to stay in the main stand. Xiao Tian was extremely hospitable, especially towards young talents like this. He showed appreciation and affection. With this said, Xiao Changshan probably wouldn't be able to leave.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Chen Xiaotian smiled and said: "Young Master Xiao has traveled thousands of miles to come here for the sake of my little girl. This really makes me overjoyed. To be honest with you, I have an old friend whom I haven't seen for many years. He is also a person from outside the country, and he has the same origin as Young Hero." , his name is Xiao Yun, I wonder if the young hero has ever recognized him?"
Xiao Changshan clasped his fists in his chest and said, "Reporting to my senior, the person you are talking about is my father."
Chen Xiaotian laughed loudly and said: "It turns out to be nephew Xiao! Your father and I have written to me a long time ago, saying that you will arrive in the near future. I originally wanted to catch up with the old days after my nephew arrives. However, there are so many things in the house recently, and it is inevitable that we are busy. , I never expected to meet you here today, very good, very good. Come, please arrange a place for nephew Xiao Xian next to me."
The servant obeyed and placed a chair on Chen Xiaotian's left hand. Xiao Changshan thanked him and sat next to Pan Suxuan.
Pan Suxuan secretly looked at Xiao Changshan beside him and thought: "Since this man is the son of an old friend of Senior Chen, why did he deliberately hide his identity? Does he have any ulterior motives?"
