After the three of them set off, Datou hesitated to speak, hesitating and stumbling, picking at things from his baggage to get something out. Changsheng knew what he wanted to say and what he wanted to take. Before Datou could take out the house deed, he frowned and took it out. He looked back.
Seeing that Datou was ashamed, nervous and restless, Chang Sheng said casually, "Brother Fu, you have a family. You can make do with it, but your family cannot live without a roof over their heads."
"It's disrespectful, I deserve it." Datou shook his head and said.
"After the competition, go back and bring your family to Chang'an." Changsheng said.
"If possible, I really want to go back, but they can't come," Datou shook his head and said, "There are still some elderly elders in Tianzanmen. If they come, no one will take care of those elders."
Hearing Da Tou's words, Chang Sheng didn't say anything else. Since they are from the Tiancan Sect, they are all disabled and indeed need someone to take care of them. Furthermore, the assassination of Yang Kai also left him with lingering fears. The internal fighting in the court was fierce and murderous intentions were everywhere. Living in Chang'an was not necessarily a good thing.
We arrived a quarter of an hour early. There were still a large number of onlookers around the square, but the number was significantly reduced compared to yesterday. After all, more than two thousand sects had been eliminated and left, and these were the few people.
There were originally nine arenas on the field, but now only four are left, located in the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
Although there are fewer arenas, the area is larger. Each arena is twice the size of the previous one. The reason for this arrangement must be that the selected martial arts candidates have real talents and need a larger place for them to advance, retreat, attack and defend.
Since there were only 240 people left, they only needed to state their names and sects to check in, and no number plates were distributed.
Different from yesterday's tension, since everyone has won the imperial examination, this time it seems much more relaxed. It is naturally best to be promoted to a martial arts scholar. Even if it is not possible, it is still a seventh-level martial arts examination candidate.
People entering the venue were divided into left and right according to the order of entry. Changsheng and Datou were in the queue on the left, and Yang Kai was assigned to the queue on the right.
Today's examiners are still the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Minister of War, but they are not the three from yesterday. Each of the six departments of Officials, Li, Hu, Punishment, Soldiers, and Gong has one minister and two ministers.
When the time came, the examiner opened the wax envelope and read out today's rules. The black and red teams drew lots respectively, with number one black number versus number one red number.
Such rules are also very fair. No one knows what number they will draw.
There were one hundred and twenty people in each team and two lottery tubes. After the martial arts examiner drew out the lottery, he showed it directly to the deacon and captain. The latter shouted out the number drawn, and the pen-holder recorded it on the spot.
This arrangement is to prevent candidates from taking the wooden sign and changing it privately. The rules are formulated extremely carefully.
Although Changsheng has never met the emperor, he has some understanding of this person's character. Although there were martial arts competitions before, the competition was archery and horse riding. The rules must be different from this time. This martial arts competition is undoubtedly the emperor's. The rules he personally formulated. Through these rules, it is not difficult to see that the current emperor is thoughtful and thoughtful.
Furthermore, every time before the competition, the examiner official can open the wax envelope and know the rules, and the examiners will change at any time. This shows that the emperor does not trust these people. To put it bluntly, he is a little suspicious, but this is also normal, because A careful person must be suspicious.
Chang Sheng drew a black draw of ninety-two, and the big head was a black draw of eighty-five, while Yang Kai drew a red draw of sixteen.
There are four arenas and one hundred and twenty pairs of opponents. On average, each arena requires thirty matches.
The fact that these 240 martial arts practitioners stood out from more than 2,000 people shows that they all have real skills. Since they are all masters of the younger generation, it is not easy to tell the winner when they start fighting. It is twice as big, and has more room to move around, so it is naturally more difficult to knock the opponent off the ring.
The final result is that the competition time is extended. Yesterday, some arenas could play seven or eight games in a quarter of an hour, but today some arenas cannot even finish one game.
Changsheng's opponent in today's first match is a young woman. Women are weak in strength and have inherent disadvantages in martial arts. There are less than twenty female candidates among the two hundred and forty people.
Changsheng spent most of the time watching the battle, and occasionally turned to look at his opponent. This man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, of medium height, with waist-length hair, a small round face, and big eyes, and was quite handsome.
While Changsheng was looking at this person, many people were also taking a peek at this person. The reason was that this person was wearing a tight-fitting black suit like a night suit, with the front protruding and the back protruding, making him very irritating.
Although the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was much more relaxed than that of the previous dynasty, and there were some women who wore bolder clothes, it was rare to see someone as bold as this person. The tights on this young woman's body were made of black silk, and she wore Although the top and bottom are not lost, Le's outline is fully visible, which is very eye-catching.
Changsheng was young and had not yet reached the peak of his youth. He only regarded this person as his opponent. The nails on the ten fingers of this person's hands were very long, and they were obviously deliberately trimmed. They were extremely sharp. Even a fool could see it. This person is good at claw skills.
Women's physical strength is weaker than men's, and they cannot overcome difficulties. Women's martial arts training usually focuses on body skills and speed. Furthermore, because of their lack of strength, their attacks are often ruthless and tricky, focusing on key points.
Just as Chang Sheng was looking this person up and down, the young woman seemed to be aware of it and turned her head to squint. Seeing Chang Sheng looking at her, she glanced at Chang Sheng with hatred. At the same time, she snorted with disdain and turned her head arrogantly.
Rolling his eyes for no reason, Changsheng was a little frustrated and depressed. After taking a deep breath, he returned his gaze to the competition ring.
At this time, the competitions in all the arenas were fierce, and they were all fierce battles. The advantages of both sides were not very obvious.
The strong waves wash away the sand, the survival of the fittest, and those who can win consecutive battles are all masters. There is no such thing as being unappreciated in the world. The so-called unappreciated talent is just a lack of ability. It is impossible for truly talented people to be buried. Sooner or later, they will emerge and stand out.
Yang Kai's opponent is a young man dressed in luxurious clothes. This man is tall and has a wide range of moves. Although it is unknown what sect this man belongs to, the martial arts he uses clearly have shadows of Buddhist techniques.
Yang Kai was half a head shorter than his opponent. From the beginning of the competition, he attacked less and defended more. The opponent seized the opportunity and then became aggressive. He yelled and exerted his strength and attacked with all his strength, quickly forcing Yang Kai to the edge of the ring.
Datou is quite nervous, but Changsheng is not worried, because he has seen Yang Kai fight with the fat monk Ling Guang. Yang Kai's movement is very flexible, far beyond the level he showed today. The reason why Yang Kai has reservations , must have its deep meaning.
After forcing Yang Kai to the edge of the ring, the man in Chinese clothes swung out his right fist, directly hitting Yang Kai's upper body. Yang Kai could not dodge to the left or right and could only dodge backwards.
Seeing Yang Kai's body leaning back, the man in Chinese clothes saw the opportunity, turned around and kicked out, and swept Yang Kai's lower body with his left leg.
Most people's left legs and left hands are not as flexible as their right feet and right hands, and this person is no exception. The left leg he sweeps out is slightly weaker and not fast enough.
Yang Kai was waiting for the opportunity in front of him. He quickly stood up, raised his left arm sharply, tucked the left leg of the man in Chinese clothes under his armpit, then quickly spun on the spot, using energy and strength, and threw the opponent directly out of the ring.
The man in Chinese clothes stumbled to the ground, finally regaining his footing, his eyes full of surprise and anger.
Changsheng was not far away from the man in gorgeous clothes, and could clearly see his eyes. This guy was still confused until now. In fact, he did not lose unexpectedly when he had an advantage, but lost from the beginning. He Feeling like he had the upper hand was just Yang Kai wanting him to feel that way.
Although each fight today lasted a long time, Chang Sheng did not feel bored, because compared with yesterday's fight, the level of both parties in today's fight was obviously improved a lot. There is value in taking a closer look and thinking about it.
However, the mood of the spectators outside the field was completely opposite to his. As the saying goes, experts watch the door and laymen watch the excitement. These spectators like to watch shouting and jumping up and down.
Although Yang Kai seemed to have a narrow victory, he actually won calmly, but Datou really had a narrow victory. He was too short, with short hands and short legs, so he couldn't hit the opponent at all. His special move was to lie on the ground, roll, stumble and charge, this kind of The moves would be more powerful if used in a small space, but the arena was twice as big as yesterday, and the opponent had enough room to move around.
Big Tou's unique skill is not useless. In fact, his rolling while lying on the ground is very powerful, but the prerequisite is that he must hold a dagger or short knife in his hand. Weapons are not allowed to be used in the ring. He can neither cut his legs nor cut his legs. He couldn't insert his feet. After being kicked several times, he finally found an opportunity to hold the opponent's ankles and knock him down. Then he rushed up quickly and kicked the opponent's back of the head hard with his two short legs, which were about a foot long. Kicked the opponent unconscious.
Near noon, it was Changsheng’s turn to take the stage.
As soon as Changsheng came on the stage, no one watched the fights in the other three arenas. Everyone's eyes shifted to the arena where he was. Looking at him was just one of the reasons. Most of them were looking at the long-haired man in a black tights. woman.
The two sides were in opposition, and Changsheng bowed his head as usual, "Infinite Heavenly Lord, the three sons of Longhu Mountain."
The woman in black glanced at Chang Sheng with contempt again, then raised her hand reluctantly, "Wu Qing Palace, Bai Yao."
Changsheng was already suffocating when he was glanced at by the other party for no reason before. This time when he saw the other party looking at him for no reason, and there was a lot of contempt in his eyes, he was annoyed in his heart and frowned and asked, "I didn't offend you, you always look at me." What am I doing?"
Bai Yao did not expect Chang Sheng to ask such a question. After being stunned, he cast a disdainful look at Chang Sheng again, "The intention is evil and the words are vulgar."
Changsheng was labeled as having evil intentions for no reason. He was confused and angry, "What did I do that makes me evil?"
Bai Yao didn't answer, he just raised his head proudly and snorted coldly.
Seeing the other party's pretentiousness and pretentiousness, Changsheng was already disgusted. Seeing her slandering him for no reason made him even more angry. According to the rules, the examiner should announce the start of the competition at this time, but there was no movement behind him.
After turning around, he found that several examiners were smiling at him to show their goodwill. It turned out that these three guys had misunderstood and thought that he wanted to talk to Bai Yao and so they deliberately delayed it.
"Let's get started, what are you waiting for..."
