Hearing Zhang Shan's words, Changsheng was relieved. This was not the first time he had dealt with Zhang Shan. When they were in Gezao Mountain, he knew that Zhang Shan was not a mediocre person. Then he was trapped in Yizhuang, and Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo rode on white cranes. Coming to the rescue, Zhang Shan also showed extreme toughness when facing many sects including the Beggar Clan.
He admired Zhang Shan's style, but Zhang Shan was different from Zhang Mo. Zhang Mo always treated him as an adult, but to Zhang Shan, he was just a child. The last time he went to the Yushitai to order him to release someone, he used It was a command tone, with no room for negotiation.
"You are a court official now, don't stand here, go somewhere else." Zhang Shan raised his hand to chase people away.
Perhaps because he felt that Zhang Shan's tone was too strong, Zhang Mo said in a low voice, "My eldest brother is right. You are serving as a censor at such a young age. All the civil and military officials in the dynasty are watching you. It is easy for you to stand in the same place as us." Tell people the truth and teach others what to do, so hurry up and don’t stand here.”
Changsheng was a little afraid of Zhang Shan, but not afraid of Zhang Mo. "I am a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain. Why do they make irresponsible remarks when I stand here?"
"Tsk." Zhang Shan frowned and clicked his tongue.
Seeing Zhang Shan frowning, Changsheng didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly turned around and left.
Although he was driven away by Zhang Shan, Changsheng was not angry. As the leader of a faction and the leader of everyone, Zhang Shan should have the dictatorial spirit of Qian Gang. The reason why he was rude to him was to treat him with sincerity and not treat him badly. Treated as an outsider.
After all, Changsheng is not an invigilator. It is reasonable to wander around as a censor, but it would be inappropriate to stay in the room for a long time. Changsheng did not overstep his authority and make headlines, but stayed close to the sidelines and returned to the palace. in front of the door.
Just after leaving, Datou ran over from the west panting, "Sir, I'll send your mount back. Yang Kai also wants to follow. I'm afraid Yushitai will leave him to look after the house if something urgent happens." , didn’t let him come.”
"Yeah." Changsheng nodded. Seeing Da Tou stretching his neck to look at the situation on the arena, he told him about the champions of the nine arenas, and then said, "There are no Taoists including Longhushan. Seats, you go to Baoqing Inn again and ask them to try to bring in some tables and chairs."
"Baoqing Inn? The Ni family is close, why don't you go to the Ni family?" Datou asked casually.
"Li Zongyuan of Baoqing Inn is a layman from Longhu Mountain. No one can say anything when they come to deliver seats," Changsheng said. "But the Ni family's business is all over the world. If they only give it to Longhu Mountain, other sects may be upset. Gritty."
"Your Excellency, you have thought it through. I'll go right away." Da Tou turned around and left.
After Datou left, Changsheng turned his attention back to the field. At this time, the battles in various arenas were still bloody and tragic. Both sides tried their best, including internal strength, martial arts, weapons, hidden weapons, poisoning, and everything they could use. On board, he doesn't follow the rules of the world at all and does everything he can.
Moreover, the two sides of the battle are not going to the end, they are all fighting for their lives. As long as they are not knocked off the ring, they will not admit defeat even if they are seriously injured.
The reason for this situation is ultimately the fault of the imperial court. There are no less than two thousand sects of all sizes in the fifteen states of the Tang Dynasty. The previous Tongbang competition produced 240 martial arts candidates. Many of these people There are also those from the same sect. Even if the two hundred and forty martial artists belong to different sects, only 240 sects have escaped the fate of being dismissed.
At present, there are still more than 1,800 sects whose life or death is uncertain, and the 240 martial arts examiners on the main list are designated by the masters of the Nine Punishments. This forces the small sects to become vassals. These people participate in the competition and It is not to win and join the officialdom, but to protect the sect from being forcibly dismissed by the imperial court. After finally being accepted and assigned by the division leader, I naturally hope to contribute to my own camp. Only by winning can I be designated by the division leader. Wuju people, to say the least, even if they lose, they must let the master of the competition see them fighting for their lives and go all out. Even if he dies in the end, perhaps the master of the division will feel pity and share the quota of martial arts examiners with them, so as to keep his sect.
The most important thing for people in the world is their sect. If their sect is ruined in their own hands, they will not be able to see their ancestors. Driven by this mentality, one can imagine how much fighting there will be. Tragic.
After careful observation, Changsheng quickly discovered a pattern, that is, as long as someone wins easily in the competition, the leader of the division will get them off the stage as soon as possible and will not let them stay on the field to continue fighting. There is only one purpose, and that is to preserve strength and prepare for the next three major championships.
At this time, the people participating in the battle were all small sects. Although the two sides were of different ages and genders, their overall strength was below the deep blue hole. There were not many purple energy masters above the lilac ones in the mountains.
Since the strength is about the same and the cultivation level is about the same, the rest is a competition of courage and fighting spirit. There are also those who use concealed weapons to play tricks. However, it is difficult to kill with a hidden weapon. If the injured party still has some strength left, , will inevitably carry out a desperate counterattack, in order to burn the jade and perish together.
The size of the arena is limited, and opponents are not allowed to easily dodge. As long as someone is jealous and is determined to die with the opponent, he will succeed in all likelihood. The end result is that the Imperial Guards on the sidelines frequently come to carry out corpses.
As time went by, the battle situation on the field gradually changed. Those small gangs who were too weak and had no way to seek refuge began to hug together to keep warm, and jointly launched a crazy attack on the champion, trying to replace him and survive in desperate situations.
These small sects quickly formed six alliances with more than 100 people. At this point, the situation on and off the court has basically solidified. There are less than 300 small sects that have not yet taken sides. It is not that they do not want to choose sides, but that they are too weak and their cultivation is too high. Low, no one wants them.
After the six alliances were formed, five of them were waiting and watching, and only one started to snatch the champion. Their target was Prajna Temple. The arena guarded by Prajna Temple is located in the due north direction, closest to Changsheng. Due to the close distance, it is difficult for Changsheng could clearly see the battle situation on the field. The reason why this group of rabble-rousers chose Prajna Temple as the target of attack was because in their opinion, Prajna Temple was the weakest among the nine champions, and they were expected to use the human sea tactic to defeat them. Prajna Temple dismounted.
This is what they thought and what they did. They were just like flying moths to a flame. I don’t know how these people agreed in private. Everyone who came to the stage did it with the intention of dying together and losing both sides.
Even though the Prajna Temple was strong and had many masters, it could not withstand such a desperate fighting style. Within half an hour, five monks had been seriously injured and left. It was not until a middle-aged monk named Tongde jumped on the field that ten of them were killed. The three Taibao practiced kung fu and magic wand techniques to stabilize their position.
Monk Tongde was merciful at first, but after losing several people in a row, he found that the other party kept trying without stopping. In desperation, he had no choice but to follow the same path he used when fighting to find a bride, killing the killer to stop the killing, trying to make everyone feel happy. Be afraid and never go on stage again.
It was already late afternoon, and Datou had come back long ago. Baoqing Inn also sent seats to everyone in Longhu Mountain. Don’t underestimate these dozen seats. In order to send them to the square, Baoqing Inn The guys circled most of Chang'an City.
With the formation of these six ragtag alliances, the fighting situation in the other eight arenas has eased slightly. Although there are still people who come to the stage to challenge, they are no longer as endless as before.
At this time, the Beggar Gang and the Salt Gang had sent people to contact the alliance formed by those small sects. The purpose of the contact was undoubtedly to recruit, but the results of the recruitment did not seem to be ideal. Those ragtag alliances were not fools either. Two hundred and forty people Martial arts candidates are appointed by nine champions. Each champion can appoint less than thirty places, and the number of gangs under the Beggar Gang and the Salt Gang at this time has far exceeded this number.
At this moment, a scene that stunned everyone happened. A masked woman came onto the stage, took off her clothes and belt directly from the stage, and performed the magic of evil and charm, trying to disturb the mind of monk Tongde.
The charm used by this masked woman is very strange. She wears a small silver bell on each finger, and her whole body is also covered with frost and snow. Monk Tongde cannot turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear. In order to resist the charm of the masked woman, Monk Tongde could only clasp his hands, lower his eyebrows and close his eyes, unable to see his shape or hear his voice.
Although the clothes of the Tang Dynasty were much looser than those of the previous dynasties, undressing and taking off one's belt in public was still beyond etiquette and violated morality. Even if the tube top was still on and the obscene trousers were not removed, it was still against morals. Unsightly.
Everyone outside the court had different opinions on this matter. Some people took the opportunity to feast their eyes on it, while others rebuked loudly. The invigilator had no idea and could only look to the three examiners in the north.
The three examiners did not expect that such a situation would occur on the field. Knowing that Changsheng was behind them, they all turned to look at him and asked him for advice.
Chang Sheng was a censor, and the martial arts competition had nothing to do with him. To say the least, even if it did, he didn't know how to deal with this situation. In desperation, he could only shake his head at the three of them, smile bitterly, and wave his hands helplessly.
Changsheng had no idea, and the three of them naturally had no idea either. In desperation, they could only lower their eyebrows and pretend to be deaf and blind.
Seeing the sweat on Monk Tongde's forehead, Changsheng knew that he had met a powerful enemy. He didn't know what the masked woman's charm was about, but he was so close to Datou that he was not affected by her charm. .
At this time, not only Monk Tongde is facing a test, but these champions are also facing a huge test. Regardless of whether Monk Tongde can withstand it or not, the position of the champion of Prajna Temple is in jeopardy. This shows that the mob can also fight against They, the champions, pose a threat.
At this time, there are still five alliances that have not taken action. Next, these people will definitely choose the target of the attack. All nine champions may be affected. They must make a decision in the shortest possible time whether to recruit these rabble.
Everything has its pros and cons. Although recruiting these people can keep one's position as the champion, it will also lose face, because recruiting them shows that one has insufficient confidence.
At this time, the Beggar Clan and the Salt Clan had already returned from defeat. There were too many sects under their control, and there were no more places for martial arts candidates to be distributed to everyone.
Except for the Beggar Gang and the Salt Gang, there are not many sects that the other seven champions have joined forces with, and everyone has extra spots on their hands.
Prajna Temple is under attack at this time, as well as the six champions of Zhuque Villa, Longhu Mountain, Shaolin Temple, Liangyi Mountain, Wushuang City, and Daji Temple. At this time, everyone is watching nervously, wondering what choice they will make... ..
