Qingyun Mountain Dazhu Peak
Two days later, the Seven Meridians Competition was held as scheduled. This morning, everyone on Dazhu Peak was in high spirits. Everyone had a smile on their face. Although they were a little nervous, they were mostly drowned in excitement. Everyone present had participated in the previous martial arts competition. The second senior brother Wu Dayi, the third senior brother Zheng Dali, the fourth senior brother He Dazhi, the fifth senior brother Lu Daxin, the sixth senior brother Du Bishu and the youngest Zhang Xiaofan were all there. Even the one who was married to Longshou Peak Tian Linger is also back.
At this time, Tian Linger was the happiest. She pestered Zhang Xiaofan and asked: "Xiaofan, do you think our senior brothers from Dazhu Peak will win this martial arts competition?" Zhang Xiaofan said: "Sister, you are like this Ask, I can't answer it." At this time, the fourth brother He Dazhi heard from the side, walked over, and said to Tian Linger: "Oh, little junior sister, even if all our senior brothers lose, at least And you and senior brother."
Du Bishu, who was standing by, heard what He Dazhi said, and walked over and said with a smile: "Yes, junior sister, if we really lose, we will have to rely on you and senior brother to 'revenge' us." Tian When Ling'er heard what Du Bishu said, she patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, just leave it to me." After saying that, he started laughing. Several senior brothers standing aside heard Tian Ling'er suddenly burst into laughter and started laughing. He walked over and asked why, and couldn't help laughing again. Zhang Xiaofan saw that he was surrounded by smiling and happy senior brothers and sisters, and felt happy in his heart.
Tian Linger smiled and suddenly heard Zhang Xiaofan say: "Senior Brother and Senior Sister Wen are coming out." Everyone turned around and saw Song Daren and Wen Min walking out of the inner hall. Song Daren was dressed in a light blue robe, and his bearing was quite elegant. He really had the awe-inspiring air of a master. As for Wen Min, she made everyone's eyes shine. She was dressed in a blue dress, with jade carving flowers on her head, a gold hairpin, eyebrows like distant mountains with daisy, eyes like water, and red lips with a smile. She really captivated all living beings.
Everyone saluted and said: "Senior Brother." Song Daren nodded and saw Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Linger were there, and said: "Old Seventh, Junior Sister, you are back too." Tian Linger said: "Senior Brother, I But of course the people from Dazhu Peak are back." Song Daren said: "Okay, since everyone is here, let's go." Then he sacrificed his magic weapon, the Ten Tigers. Go away first. Wen Min also followed closely, and then all the senior brothers also sacrificed their magic weapons and flew away, "Xiaofan, let's go too." Tian Linger smiled at him, and when the magic formula was activated, the amber scarlet silk glowed. , broke through the air and went away. Zhang Xiaofan also raised his Soul Eater and followed everyone to fly to Tongtian Peak.
Tongtianfeng Square
In the distance, a majestic mountain peak towering into the clouds, no, towering into the sky, stood proudly. There, in the misty white clouds, there is a faint sound of bells echoing in the sky and the earth. Tongtian Peak seems to really lead to the sky. Zhang Xiaofan looked far into the distance. Under the boundless blue sky, beside the majestic mountain peaks, countless rays of light of various colors were dancing and lingering. The closer he got to Tongtian Peak, the denser these rays of light became. Those are the magic weapons used by Qingyun disciples. They have different colors due to the five elements of the magic weapons. They look colorful and extremely beautiful. But seeing these rays of light flowing towards the mountain peak like colored stones falling like rain, the scene was spectacular. And they quickly merged into this colorful torrent.
Accompanied by the sound of whistling, Dazhufeng and his party landed on a huge square. The square was already very lively at this moment. The disciples who came to participate in the Seven Meridians Competition probably stopped here temporarily. Looking from a distance, The heads of people standing in this square are high and low, both men and women, especially the younger generation. There are many heroic people. It can be seen that Qingyun Sect has worked hard to cultivate young disciples over the years. The number of people gradually increased. After all, such a grand martial arts competition was not something that could be easily seen in the Qingyun Sect. The emotions of the disciples of each peak were also rising. Although there were still more than two hours before the competition, they I could no longer contain my excitement.
Wu Dayi said excitedly: "Oh, it's so lively." He Dazhi also said: "That's right, this is several times more lively than when Lao Qi and Junior Sister Lu got married!" Zhang Xiaofan looked around, but couldn't see that familiar In the square, other disciples from various peaks were seen standing together in small groups. They all seemed to be talking happily about something. They must all be looking forward to the upcoming martial arts test.
Seeing Zhang Xiaofan like this, Tian Linger knew that he was looking for Lu Xueqi, so she patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "No need to look for it, it's over there." After saying that, he pointed to the right, Zhang Xiaofan looked in the direction, and sure enough he saw The figure in white was standing there. In the square, Lu Xueqi was talking to a group of Xiaozhu Peak disciples. Everyone knew that Xiaozhu Peak was always rich in beauties, and all of them were extremely beautiful. The disciples from other peaks looked here from time to time, and these female disciples didn't know. Maybe he was influenced by Lu Xueqi's character and turned a blind eye like her.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at Lu Xueqi, and Lu Xueqi looked at him as if she was sensing something. They looked at each other and smiled faintly, which was a rare feeling of comfort. After exchanging a few words with the disciple beside her, she walked over to Zhang Xiaofan. Tian Linger saw Lu Xueqi coming and said, "Oh, Senior Sister Lu is here, Xiaofan, I won't hinder you." After saying that, she walked away knowingly. When Zhang Xiaofan was about to say something, there was no trace of Tian Linger, and he was the only one left standing there in a daze.
When Lu Xueqi came to him, Zhang Xiaofan asked: "How are the preparations going?" Lu Xueqi said: "I have told them everything that needs to be said. The next step is up to them." Zhang Xiaofan held her hand. The gentle white hand looked around and said: "Such a scene is really nostalgic." Hearing Zhang Xiaofan say this, Lu Xueqi also remembered the scene when she participated in the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition. He sighed: "Well, it's really missed."
At this time, a Taoist boy came over and said: "Master Lu, the master has invited you." "I understand, Xiaofan, I'll leave first." Lu Xueqi said, Zhang Xiaofan nodded and said: "Go quickly, don't "I've kept the head brother waiting for a long time." Lu Xueqi responded with a smile and then turned around and left. After Lu Xueqi left, Zhang Xiaofan heard a call from behind: "Xiaofan." Zhang Xiaofan turned around and saw Lin Jingyu, also dressed in white, walking towards him. The two people's eyes met, and they were extremely happy. They held each other's hands at the same time, as if they had a thousand words to say, but they couldn't say them at the moment.
After a long time, Lin Jingyu said: "Xiaofan, how are you doing recently?" Zhang Xiaofan nodded and said with a smile: "Very good, how about you?" Lin Jingyu said: "Me too, by the way, this time Qimai Did you participate in the martial arts competition?" Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and said: "No, I didn't participate." Lin Jingyu asked: "Why?" Zhang Xiaofan replied: "There is no reason, I just don't want to participate." Lin Jingyu and It was rare to see his childhood good brother again, and he knew Zhang Xiaofan's personality, so he didn't ask any further questions. He immediately changed the topic and said with a smile: "Since you won't participate, then cheer for me in the audience." Zhang Xiaofan patted him and said: "Don't worry, I will do it."
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from above the square, sounding like thunder, shaking the whole place. Hundreds of Qingyun disciples in the square looked up and saw a Changmen Taoist priest from Tongtian Peak. He said loudly to the disciples of each lineage standing in the square: "Everyone, the master and the leaders of each lineage have ordered, please participate in the Seven Lineages." The disciples of Huiwu went to the Yuqing Hall to speak." The mountain breeze blew, the white clouds drifted, and there was a commotion among the hundreds of Qingyun disciples in the square, and some people came out one after another and walked towards the front of the square.
When he arrived in front of the Yuqing Hall, Xiao Yicai, dressed in a dark green Taoist robe, walked out, followed closely by the heads of each peak. All the disciples bent down and saluted together and said, "I have met the master." Xiao Yicai smiled slightly, stepped forward and said loudly: "Everyone, my Qingyun lineage has been in existence for more than two thousand years since the sect was founded. It is actually the orthodox Taoist school. In order to warn future generations and guide young disciples, the Grandmaster passed down the grand event of the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition. However, it was too long to hold it only once in sixty years, so after discussing with the leaders of each peak, the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition was changed. This competition is held only once every twenty years. I hope you will do your best and achieve a good ranking."
Everyone said in unison: "Yes." Xiao Yicai continued: "This big test, there will be changes in the lottery. Please take a look," he said, pointing to the open space on the right side of the hall, and everyone looked, I saw a large mahogany box placed there, with a small hole on the top that could fit an arm in. "The rules are the same as the last one. There are a total of forty-nine wax pills in the box, each of which is wrapped with a note with a number from one to forty-nine. After the drawing is completed, the number will prevail for the test. Number one versus forty-nine, two versus forty-eight, and so on. In the second round, the winner of number one and forty-nine will compete against the winner of number two and forty-eight, and so on until the final battle. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Xiao Yicai nodded and said: "Also, in this competition, the top players of each peak will also compete. I hope everyone will work hard. Well, let's go and draw lots." Above the main hall, everyone's Their eyes then fell on the mahogany box. First, seven disciples from the Tongtian Peak lineage walked out, came to the box, and each took out a wax pill, and then came the disciples from Longshou Peak. Then there are Chaoyang, Luoxia, Fenghui, and the disciples of Big and Little Bamboo Peak. After drawing lots, the disciples in the hall all said: "Ah, I am thirty-five." "I am fifty-two. Hey, what is your number?" "Ah, I am twenty-four." , I don’t know what number my opponent is, I’ll do the math..."
"Dang", a clear sound of bells and tripods was heard, echoing in the sea of white clouds, which lifted everyone's spirits, and the originally noisy square suddenly became quiet. On the huge stage in the middle, the figure of Qi Hao, the leader of Longshou Peak, appeared. He took a step forward, looked around at the countless disciples under the stage, and said loudly: "The competition begins." After saying that, the sound of the ascending clock and cauldron sounded again, "Dang Dang Dang Dang" resounded through the sky.
As the bell rang, the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition officially began. All eight stands were packed with people, and many magic weapons were flying back and forth. It was a wonderful spectacle. Among the disciples of Qingyun Sect, most of them use fairy swords. Most of these fairy swords are one of the Five Elements magic weapons. Only Tian Linger, He Dazhi and Du Bishu of Dazhu Peak do not use fairy swords. In these eight stands, disciples from each peak were competing. Zhang Xiaofan watched them compete in the audience, as if he had returned to the original Seven Meridians martial arts competition. The clear but distant and blurred memory was gradually beginning to fade away. came into mind.
After watching a few competitions, Zhang Xiaofan stopped lingering at the competition venue and turned around and walked towards Bibo Pond. In addition to watching the competition between his disciples, Lu Xueqi in the stands also glanced at Zhang Xiaofan in the audience from time to time. After seeing him turn and walk away, He also got up and left his seat to see what was wrong with him. Zhang Xiaofan came to the edge of the blue wave pool and leaned on the stone railing, lowering his head and thinking about something.
"Roar", a low sound, which sounded like the snort of some kind of wild beast, suddenly sounded behind him. Zhang Xiaofan woke up from his deep thoughts. When he looked back, he saw the mountain-suppressing spirit beast of Qingyun Sect, being The water unicorn that everyone respected as "Spirit Master" appeared silently behind him. Seeing the water unicorn's huge body like a hill right in front of him, if it had been before, he might have been frightened and ran away. Qilin seemed to know that Zhang Xiaofan was worried, and roared, then nuzzled Zhang Xiaofan's face, thinking he was comforting him.
Zhang Xiaofan saw Shui Qilin comforting him, with a faint smile on his face, and reached out to pat its head. When Shui Qilin saw Zhang Xiaofan smiling, he jumped back into the Tan. Looking at the sparkling water, his own reflection is reflected, buoyant and swaying gently with the water waves. I fell into deep thought again. I don't know how long it took, but a white figure walked slowly forward and walked quietly to his side. Seeing that he seemed to be thinking about something sad, there was a touch of sadness on his face. Lu Xueqi's heart softened and she whispered: "Xiaofan..."
Hearing the gentle call, Zhang Xiaofan shuddered. He turned around and saw that familiar and beautiful figure, right in front of him... Looking at Lu Xueqi's gentle eyes, the look on her face He regained his calm expression, and then, a gentle hand caressed his face and whispered: "What's wrong?" This feeling was the same as the one on that stormy night. It was also a gentle face. A face, a pair of clear eyes, a gentle hand, a beautiful and strong figure. But that person at that time, was it her?
When Lu Xueqi saw Zhang Xiaofan looking at her, she frowned and said, "Xiaofan, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Xiaofan came to his senses and asked, "Xueqi, when we were in Liubo Mountain, When I was punished by Master, did you... come to see me?" Lu Xueqi's ice-like face showed a faint pink color, and she nodded to Zhang Xiaofan. Zhang Xiaofan's eyes were filled with surprise. He looked at her for a long time, then smiled relievedly, clenched the white hand a little tighter, and said: "So you really came that night, I thought it was my imagination. "
Lu Xueqi smiled faintly and said: "That was not an illusion, it was really me." Zhang Xiaofan didn't say anything, he just hugged the person in front of him tightly, tightly, and she also snuggled tightly in his arms. , quietly enjoying this rare moment of getting along.
