Chapter 123 The competition begins
At this time, the square in front of the Ni Mansion was already crowded with people. Everyone was eagerly waiting for the daughter of the Ni Mansion to appear and get a glimpse of her beauty. Who would have thought that the daughter of the Ni Mansion had not appeared, and someone had already jumped onto the ring first.
The host has not appeared, the rules have not been announced, and the witnesses have not been present. It is a violation of the rules to go on stage at this time. At this moment, not only did I experience the attention of the crowd, but I also felt the accusations of thousands of people. The audience was in an uproar, and everyone was shouting and cursing.
He is also a person who has seen the world. He has experienced a similar situation in Gezao Mountain. At that time, he was unkempt and haggard. He rushed to the square in front of the Sanqing Hall to cry out for himself and rectify his master's name.
Now that I have experienced similar things, I am not afraid now.
He was wearing a Taoist robe this time, and no one recognized him. They yelled and asked about his origins. They wanted to say nothing, but when they heard the people's bad words and asked, they felt angry, so they simply raised their spirits and said, "I am the Third Master of Longhu Mountain."
Master Sheng, Senior Sister Sanyi, I’m here!”
Hearing the words, everyone knew his identity and his relationship with Ni Chenyi, but this did not stop them from continuing to curse and ridicule him, scolding him for being unruly, not knowing the bounds of the world, and rushing to the stage first. They laughed at him for being a pony without a mane.
He wants a wife even before his hair has fully grown.
At this time, he was a mute and couldn't tell how hard it was to eat coptis. In fact, it was not entirely unreasonable for everyone to laugh at him. He was too young and too young. Even he himself didn't know why he came to compete in martial arts to attract a bride, but things were in a trance.
He has come to this point, forcing him to come, or as the saying goes, it is wrong to come, and it is even more wrong not to come. ??
There was a lot of noise in the square, and people in the mansion naturally wanted to come out to see what was going on. But what everyone didn't expect was that the first person to rush to the gatehouse turned out to be a beautiful woman wearing Chinese clothes with messy sideburns.
Ni Chenyi has not been in Chang'an for the past few years, and few people know her. However, Ni Chenyi has a beautiful face, and she is naturally beautiful without any makeup. After she appeared, everyone stared in shock, and the square instantly became quiet.
"You're here," Ni Chenyi waved happily, "Wait for me, I'll go back and change clothes."
After Ni Chenyi said that, she turned around and ran down the gatehouse. Only then did everyone know that she was the daughter of the Ni family. Seeing that she was so close to him, she did not shy away from it in front of everyone. Knowing that she had a crush on Zhong Yi, they could not help but feel frustrated.
Ni Chenyi just heard the voice and ran out to say hello to him, but ignored that this would add great pressure. All the ladies who competed to find a bride would cover their heads when watching the competition. Those who participated in the competition did not know what the woman looked like.
, but she ran out directly without changing clothes or dressing up. This was the most authentic appearance. She was so beautiful without dressing up. Everyone wanted good things, so even people who were not interested in her started to covet her.
Furthermore, many of the people in the martial arts world who come here to compete to find a bride are trying their luck. Even if they can't win a beautiful woman, they can get a lot of silver even if they win a few games. These people don't care whether she is a bride or not.
If you like it, you will go on stage when it’s time.
Ni Chenyi did not hide her joy. After running down the gate, she could still hear her joyful laughter outside. Envy and jealousy are common problems in the world, and they are the target of public criticism. Seeing that Ni Chenyi fell in love with him, the young talents in the audience could not help but feel jealous.
Hatred.
The young man was full of energy, and someone in the audience couldn't hold it back, so he jumped up and down, "Qinglong Gang Lu Yifei, let me learn your clever tricks."
Without waiting for the opponent to land on the ring, he stepped on the ground and exerted his strength, rushed out, jumped out of the ring, kicked up in the air, kicked the warrior out of mid-air, and then used the force of the recoil to flip back to the ring.
Some people went first and others followed behind. The young man from the Qinglong Gang was frustrated and fell, and several others jumped to the ring shouting.
The arena was nine feet square, and everyone jumped to the arena from different directions. When everyone thought that they could not stop them before they landed on the arena, they rushed out of the arena and kicked one person away, and turned to help
The force of the recoil moved horizontally for a few feet. He grabbed one person's left arm and turned around to throw it to the other person on the north side. Then he used the force to move west, kicked up in the air, and stamped on the last person repeatedly.
Towards the ground, inhale and turn over when you are three feet off the ground. After rising twice, grab the edge of the ring with one hand, exert a little force, and return to the ring.
While falling back into the ring, the young man who was thrown out and the martial artist who was hit by it fell to the ground.
In the face of malice and accusations, the effective way is not to explain, but to show strength. This move directly made everyone in the audience look at him with admiration. Most of them were martial arts practitioners. Naturally, they could see that his movements were strange and mysterious, but what shocked them the most was
What's surprising is that he can still use his strength to make moves at incredible angles.
There is another common problem in the world, that is, they always feel that they are different. Even though they have shown superb Qinggong and martial arts, some people are still unconvinced, and then another person raises his spirits and leaps to the ring.
This time, he did not intercept him first, but allowed him to land calmly, lunge, and draw up his posture.
"I am..."
Without waiting for the other party to tell him his name and origin, he interrupted him and said, "It's okay if you don't tell me."
"I am..."
"It's okay not to say anything." He interrupted the other party again.
The man was annoyed and interrupted his words repeatedly. He was so angry that he gathered his arms and slid forward, "Crazy guy, look at your palms!"
There was no rush to strike, and he waited until the opponent rushed forward to raise his arms and palms before punching head-on. The last punch came first and hit the opponent's front door.
He punched so hard that the man staggered back with stars in his eyes.
Determined to establish his power, he did not bully himself to make up for the attack, but stayed where he was. When the man came to his senses, he shouted again and rushed towards him, and then he punched the opponent with his right fist again, hitting the opponent's face.
This punch directly hit the opponent's face with bruises and nosebleeds, but the man received two punches in a row and was furious. After stabilizing his body, he shouted and rushed forward again.
It was still a right punch without any tricks. This time it knocked the opponent to the ground directly and prevented him from getting up.
By this time, there was no more shouting and cursing in the audience. The three previous right punches were all directed towards the face. The simpler the moves, the more powerful they are. I want to hit all three punches while the opponent is on guard.
, the speed of the move must be much higher than that of the opponent.
At this moment, the martial artist who fell to the ground finally realized why he had to interrupt him one after another and not let him tell the origin of his inheritance. It was because he was sure of victory and did not want him to tell the origin of his inheritance.
The reputation of the door.
This person was quite restrained. Although he was embarrassed and annoyed, he did not get angry. He stood up, raised his hands and clasped his fists, and then left the stage in embarrassment.
Because the incident happened so suddenly, the Ni Mansion had no time to control the situation. After that man stepped down, a young man in luxurious clothes came up. This man had a dignified appearance and a sword hanging from his waist. After he came on stage, he rushed around and clasped his fists, "
I am Sun Xiao, a disciple of the Iron Sword Sect."
After clasping fists in all directions, the young man named Sun Xiao pulled out his sword, raised his sword and said, "Please."
"I have no weapons." He frowned and said,
"I'm sorry. What the Iron Sword Sect is good at is swordsmanship. You can't abandon your sword." The young man said and stabbed with his sword, "Watch the move!"
This time, he did not wait for the opponent to attack close to the front before making an attack. Instead, he used a movement technique to spin around behind the young man and kicked the opponent's butt. With the kick, the young man's center of gravity became unstable and he staggered forward.
He stabilized his body and started to catch up. He kicked up again and kicked his butt again.
The young man had completely lost his center of gravity at this time. Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, he caught up with him again, kicked his back knees to make him lean back and prevent him from falling, and then added two more kicks to directly knock the opponent down.
Kick off the ring.
Since the sword in the young man's hand had not been released, the people below were worried about being accidentally injured, so no one stepped forward to take over. The young man fell to the ground, looking disgraced and embarrassed.
"I'm sorry. What I'm good at is continuous attacks. Once I take action, I can't stop it." He said coldly. .??.
There were many discerning people in the audience. After hearing this, they knew that the reason why they kicked the opponent's butt repeatedly and deliberately made him look embarrassed was because the young man did not follow the rules and used his long sword to attack him with his bare hands. This was his punishment.
By this time, everyone in the audience already knew that he was a real master and were very afraid of him. But as the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds in the forest, and there are always people who think highly of themselves and have dissatisfaction in their hearts. At the Iron Sword Gate,
After the young man landed, another one jumped onto the ring.
This person also carried a long sword with him. After he came on stage, he raised his hands in all directions and said, "Heroes, I invite you. I will show my virility at the Zidian Gate. I will be nicknamed Yi Sword Chasing Soul."
Just when this person announced his home, a group of servants ran up to the courtyard wall of Ni's mansion carrying tables, chairs and other items. One of them, a middle-aged man in his forties, held a gong in his hand and beat it repeatedly, "cut
Don't make a move, don't make a move. I am Ni Dafu, the manager of the Ni Mansion. I am sent by the master's family to supervise all matters related to the competition. Please wait for a moment. The witnesses invited by the master's family will arrive soon."
Hearing the sound of the gong and the man's shouting, everyone in the audience turned their attention to the tall courtyard wall of Ni Mansion. After Ni Dafu sounded the gong, he continued, "We have invited three witnesses this time, and they are all famous.
The first person is Master Shen Yixuan of the Golden Knife Sect, the second person is Ou Guanqing Ou Zhenren, the leader of Bagua Guan, and the third person is Master Yang Shumao Yang, the minister of Dali Temple."
While Ni Dafu introduced the witnesses, the group of servants quickly laid out the red carpet and arranged the seats. Then the three people in charge of witnessing hurriedly appeared on the stage. It was not even 10 o'clock. The appearance of the three people showed that the Ni family was preparing to start early.
This move was out of sheer helplessness. Fighting had already begun outside, and it would be difficult to control the situation if we didn't start in advance.
After the three people appeared on the stage, Ni Dafu quickly began to read out the rules of the martial arts competition to recruit a bride. It was the same as the imperial martial arts competition. No concealed weapons were allowed, and no poison was allowed. However, fists and feet had no eyes. Anyone who participated in the martial arts competition to recruit a bride would have their own fate in life and death. Blame the owner.
After talking about the rules, let’s talk about the rewards. It’s the same as what the boss said yesterday. You will get a hundred taels of silver for one win, double the winning streak, and there is no limit.
While Ni Dafu was explaining the rules, the servants placed tables and chairs on the west side of the gatehouse. These tables and chairs were prepared for the record-keeper.
After finishing talking about the business, Ni Dafu was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he turned his head frequently to look into the courtyard while making some polite remarks, undoubtedly waiting for Ni Chenyi to come.
After a while, Ni Chenyi, wearing a bright red dress and hijab, walked up to the gate with the support of two maids, and sat down.
seat.
At this time, the hijab was no longer useful. Ni Chenyi had already come out and showed her face. Everyone in the audience already knew what she looked like.
After Ni Chenyi appeared, Ni Dafu walked to the side of the three witnesses, holding a gong in his hand and standing solemnly, "Three distinguished guests, the auspicious time is approaching, can the contest for marriage begin?"
The leader of the Golden Knife Sect, Shen Yixuan, was in his sixties, with white beard and hair. Hearing Ni Dafu's words, he was the first to nod.
Ou Guanqing, the master of Bagua Guanqing, who is more than seventy years old and an experienced Taoist, also nodded accordingly.
The last person to nod was Yang Shumao, the minister of Dali Temple. The Ni family asked him to be a witness in large part because they were worried that someone would be killed in this martial arts contest. Dali Temple was responsible for the punishment and prison, and with the minister of Dali Temple present, even if someone accidentally beat someone to death. If you kill someone, you won't be sued for taking their life.
Wen Gongyi, the young minister of Dali Temple, had made Ni Chenyi unhappy last time during his interrogation. This time, the minister of Dali Temple personally went out to witness the Ni family's martial arts competition to recruit relatives. It is very likely that there was an element of apology.
Seeing the three people nodding, Ni Dafu rang the gong and chanted, "The martial arts competition has officially begun. The two people on the stage announced their names."
"I'm Zhan Xiongfei of the Zidian Gate. I'm nicknamed Yi Sword Chasing Soul." Zhan Xiongfei said loudly.
"Longhu Mountain, Sanshengzi." He said casually.
"A martial arts contest to recruit a bride only determines the outcome, not life or death. Please wait until the end." Ni Dafu was full of energy.
Since the rules announced by Ni Dafu did not state that the use of weapons was prohibited, Zhan Xiongfei raised his sword and said coldly, "I'm good at using swords, I'm sorry."
Listening to Zhan Xiongfei's words, I knew that this person was very dissatisfied with his previous punishment of the man with the sword, and he was determined to retaliate in the same way, to avenge the man with the sword and make him look embarrassed.
Not only were they aware of Zhan Xiongfei's intention, but everyone in the audience also heard what he said and shouted and applauded. They came from all over the world and had nothing to do with Zhan Xiongfei. They were not familiar with the man who used the sword before, so they supported him. This person is just too popular and makes people jealous.
Hearing the crowd's applause, Zhan Xiongfei's morale was greatly boosted. He waved his wrist and danced out a sword flower, stretched his sword across his shoulders, and drew his sword sideways.
This person's words were ridiculing and offensive, and he was merciless in his attacks. He wanted to "throw himself into his arms", so he used his right arm to block and bend his right elbow, and used his left palm to attack his right wrist, causing the long sword in his hand to pierce his left shoulder. , but after getting close, he changed his mind. At this time, he has become the target of public criticism. A large number of masters will come up to challenge him in the future. Even though his spiritual energy is extremely resistant to consumption, he may not be able to withstand the challenges of everyone. The most terrible thing is There are also people who are secretly coveting it. Since this matter is related to the imperial court, there will definitely be a large number of experts to clear the way for them, so they must reserve their strength to deal with this group of people.
Thinking of this, he immediately changed his move midway. The spiritual energy went down and poured into his right foot. He sideways avoided Zhan Xiongfei's flat thrust, then turned around and kicked Zhan Xiongfei's left calf.
His foot movement was powerful and heavy, and accompanied by a clear and loud sound of broken bones, Zhan Xiongfei screamed and fell to the ground.
This move directly caused everyone in the audience to boo, accusing and slandering him, and scolding him for being too cruel.
His face was expressionless and he didn't pay attention. He had to make the people on stage feel taboo. A large part of these people were going to participate in the court competition tomorrow. If they were injured too seriously today, they would not be able to participate in the court competition tomorrow.
Chapter completed!
