Because Shi Xuanming had been attacking with all his strength before the acupuncture point was sealed, although he could not move after the acupuncture point was sealed, the inertia could not be eliminated. Seeing that he was teetering, Changsheng hurriedly reached out to support him, patted the jade pillow gently, and unlocked his sealed acupuncture point. Acupuncture points.
Unlocking Shi Xuanming's acupuncture points in such a short period of time is very risky for Changsheng, because most people have not reacted at this time, and they still don't know what happened on the stage. If Shi Xuanming cheats, he will Have to fight again.
Fortunately, Shi Xuanming did not become angry. After regaining his freedom, he immediately put his hands together, bent down and thanked, "Amitabha, the poor monk has lost."
Seeing Shi Xuanming admitting defeat frankly, Changsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master, I accept."
"Little Taoist Priest, thank you for untying my acupuncture points in time and not leaving me lying dead in shame," Shi Xuanming said with a smile, "You are quite a good person. If you think highly of me, I want to make friends with you."
"Fortunately, very fortunately." Chang Sheng said with a smile. He had a good impression of Shi Xuanming. Although this man was an abandoned disciple of Shaolin, he was free and easy-going, bright and magnanimous.
"Okay, you fight slowly," Shi Xuanming stepped towards the edge of the ring, "I will look for you after this busy period, and then you have to tell me how you broke my golden bell."
"Okay, I'll stay at the Baoqing Inn in Xicheng." Changsheng smiled.
"I took note of it." Shi Xuanming bent down to pick up the dog leg, stepped off the stage lightly, and didn't care what everyone thought of him, chewing the dog meat and headed east.
When the dust settled, Ni Dafu rang the gong again, "Taoist Priest Sansheng of Longhu Mountain won four games in a row."
After Shi Xuanming left the stage, everyone in the audience was no longer in a hurry to go on stage, because the Ni family had already spoken. Changsheng had the final say whether the injury was minor or serious. If he wanted to go on stage to make some money, he might not be able to do it. Don't take advantage of it. He got a beating for nothing.
Everyone in the audience had different thoughts. There were many warriors who wanted to compete with Chang Sheng. However, after watching the battle between Chang Sheng and Shi Xuanming, many people began to back off because they found that Chang Sheng was not good at anything. He only has weird body skills and quick attacks, and his spiritual energy cultivation is also very pure. He even dares to fight against the powerful Vajra Palm, which is famous for its fierceness. He is not a trickster who takes advantage of the sword, but is both internal and external. A master of cultivation.
There are many shortcomings in the world. One of them is that they are self-righteous and have a high self-esteem. They always feel that they are different from others and can do things that others cannot do well. There are still many people who have this idea, even if longevity has been revealed before. Despite his great strength, there are still some people who are blind and arrogant, and then five more people come to the stage to challenge. Changsheng wins all five battles. Only one of the five people who challenged him retreated unscathed, and the remaining four were all interrupted by him. left leg.
The person who escaped unharmed fought with bare hands and had a humble attitude. As the saying goes, a vicious punch will not hit a smiling person. For an opponent who was not very hostile, Chang Sheng would just knock him off the ring and not strike hard.
The four people whose left legs were broken were all people who used weapons. It was unfair to use weapons against bare hands, and this was the reason why he struck so hard.
Blessings come from yourself. Disaster is brought upon oneself. What a person will end up with is entirely determined by what he has done before. Since you use a weapon against an unarmed person, don't blame others for being ruthless.
After breaking four or five legs one after another, everyone in the audience finally figured out the rules, and they started talking loudly.
Changsheng's heart was extremely heavy at this time. What made him heavy was not the martial arts competition, but the ignorance and slowness of the world. He had already broken one leg before. Even if no clues were found, everyone should have broken two legs. After discovering the pattern, why do they continue to use weapons to challenge? Don't they know that it is unfair to use weapons against bare hands?
At this point, Changsheng has won nine consecutive victories, and the silver reward has reached more than 25,000 taels.
Even at this stage of the fight, there were still confused people in the audience. Seeing Changsheng breaking the challenger's left leg one after another, they didn't know the reason for his cruel attack. They just thought that he was cold-blooded and ruthless, and they didn't dare to challenge easily on the stage again.
But it doesn't matter if they are a little confused, since there are fewer people to challenge, and they can save more energy.
The more consecutive victories there are, the less people in the audience dare to challenge easily. However, as time goes by, martial arts practitioners from all over Chang'an arrive in droves. These people later have never seen Chang Sheng fighting with others. I don't know. He is so powerful that he dares to challenge on stage, and the result can be imagined.
At three o'clock in the morning, Changsheng had won fifteen consecutive victories, and the silver reward was astonishingly high at more than 1.6 million taels. In order to facilitate counting, the Ni family directly converted it into 160,000 taels of gold.
At this time, Changsheng found that the attitude towards him, whether it was Ni Dafu and others or the audience in the audience, had changed a lot. Everyone hoped that he could continue his winning streak and maintain his undefeated record.
While waiting for the challenger to come on stage, Changsheng took the opportunity to think about why everyone's attitude towards him had changed like this. He soon figured out the reason. Ni Dafu and others wanted him to win because the bounty he received was already extremely terrifying. If He failed midway, and the Ni family had to pay the bounty. No matter how rich the Ni family was, 160,000 taels of gold was not a small amount for them.
The attitude of everyone in the audience towards him changed from hostility to support. That is because everyone has deified him. When a person is better than others, he will arouse the envy and jealousy of everyone, but when a person is better than others When he is too outstanding, the world will regard him as a god. Not only will he not be envious and jealous, but he will look up to him in awe, surrender and respect him.
It is said that if a tree is beautiful in the forest and the wind will destroy it, it is because the tree is not big enough and the wind can still blow it. It is said that if a person shows off to the masses, he will be slandered. It is because this person is not good enough and the people below him are not good enough.
As time went by and the news of the competition spread, more and more people came from all over Chang'an to watch the battle. Not only was the square filled with water, but the entire Ni Mansion was also crowded with people watching the battle, including the roofs of the houses around Ni Mansion. The walls were also crowded with people.
In addition to the main entrance, Ni Mansion also has a side door and a back door. No one goes in through the main entrance, but the number of people inside Ni Mansion has increased significantly. From the ring, you can't see the specific situation in the yard, but you can see servants and maids busily passing through several corridors. , there are undoubtedly many important guests coming through the side door and the back door, and the Ni Mansion is busy receiving them.
At noon, Changsheng's winning streak had reached seventeen games, and the bounty was as high as 640,000 taels of gold. Changsheng didn't know how much money the Ni family had, but he knew that such a terrifying amount could break the Ni family's muscles. It's bone-shaking.
At noon, Ni Dafu rang the gong and paused for half an hour to replenish water.
A servant carrying a wooden box and teapot walked out of the courtyard. Seeing this, Ni Chenyi hurriedly ordered the maid aside to stop the servant who delivered the meal and ordered her to bring the food box and teapot to the gate. .
Ni Chenyi opened the food box, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of each vegetable. Since his head was covered with red silk, it was inconvenient, so he simply pulled off the red silk and tried to eat one by one.
Seeing this, everyone started shouting and hooting, saying that Ni Chenyi was an outgoing girl and was actually worried that her father-in-law would poison her lover.
Ni Chenyi's move also moved Changsheng very much. Although he still doesn't understand the relationship between men and women, Ni Chenyi treats each other so sincerely. Don't be entangled and just accept it.
Just when Ni Chenyi moved the first floor of the wooden box and tried to eat the vegetables on the second floor, he suddenly frowned slightly, looked around and then put the hijab on himself.
After covering the hijab, no one in the audience could see what she had done, but Ni Chenyi did not wait too long. She re-covered the wooden box with just a few drops of water and ordered the servants to bring the food box and teapot to the ring.
The food box was delivered, and the servants came down to wait. Changsheng opened the food box and picked up chopsticks to eat.
He noticed Ni Chenyi's previous unusual behavior and knew that there must be something hidden on the second floor, but he couldn't immediately check it in full view of the public.
The food was very fine, and there wasn't much of anything. Changsheng couldn't think of eating at this time. After eating a few bites, he opened the first floor and looked at the second floor. There were yellow spring rolls on the second floor. There were three in total, but among them One is not a spring roll, but a rolled up yellow paper.
The yellow paper had been opened by Ni Chenyi before, and now it was rolled irregularly.
Since there were people under the stage and on the wall of the courtyard, Changsheng did not pick it up to look at it. Instead, he spread out the yellow paper with chopsticks. After spreading it, he discovered that this was not an ordinary yellow paper, but a talisman paper. He was a dragon and tiger. A Taoist priest from the mountain, he naturally recognizes his own talisman. This talisman came from Longhu Mountain.
After reading the row of red writing on the talisman paper, Changsheng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. What was written on the talisman paper was "Edict: Anyone who steps on stage at the time of application will be punished." '
This series of words is painted with iron hooks and silver hooks, and the pen is written by a dragon and snake. There is no doubt that it was written by a man. There are three dots of vermilion ink on the text, which are the talisman heads, and the red characters are written with cinnabar. There are various signs that this yellow paper and the words on the yellow paper All come from the hands of Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain.
Worried about arousing suspicion, Changsheng did not remain idle for a long time. Instead, he picked up a spring roll and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it to hide the shock and astonishment in his heart. At the same time, he thought anxiously that the words on this talisman paper were not the same. It was not written by Ni Chenyi. Ni Chenyi had covered his head just to read what was written on the talisman paper.
Now, apart from him and Ni Chenyi, the only Taoists of our sect who are in Chang'an are Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo. He has an impression of Zhang Mo's handwriting, but that's not the case. The words on the talisman are probably written by Zhang Shan, but he and Zhang Shan I haven’t interacted with him much, so I don’t quite recognize his handwriting.
While I was secretly anxious, I suddenly remembered something. There is a Xianyuntai on Longhu Mountain. The three characters of Xianyuntai were written by Zhang Shan. After a brief recollection, I was sure that the characters of Xianyuntai and the characters of the person who ascended the stage were written by the same person. , there is no doubt that this talisman paper was written by Zhang Shan.
The talisman paper is from Longhu Mountain, and the words were written by Zhang Shan, but it was not Zhang Shan's idea to ask him to kill all those who came on stage after Shen Shi. The two words "purpose" on the talisman paper are the key points. There are two purposes. This means that one is the edict of Taoist high-gong, and the other is the imperial edict of the emperor. If it is the edict, Zhang Shan does not need to do anything extra, because Zhang Shan is the abbot of Longhu Mountain and a high-gong master, and his words are the edict.
Excluding this possibility, there is only one explanation for the word "zhiyue", and that is the emperor's decree. The emperor instructed Zhang Shan to tell him to kill all the challengers who came on stage after Shen Shi.
After swallowing one spring roll, Changsheng picked up the second one and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he read the talisman paper and the words again. After confirming that they were correct, he re-rolled the talisman paper with chopsticks and waited for the second spring roll to be swallowed. After taking it off, he picked up the rolled up talisman paper and stuffed it into his mouth.
The talisman paper was yellow, and the spring rolls were also yellow. No one noticed that the thing he stuffed into his mouth for the third time was not a spring roll, but there were a few exceptions, those who gave instructions, those who wrote, and those who cooperated in delivering the message. Those who have read the writing on the talisman should be looking at him at this time. He ate three spring rolls, which was equivalent to telling these people that he had received the oracle and destroyed the evidence...
