Chapter 61(1/2)
Jianghu affairs are also human affairs
The third day of the Liujiang Conference is also the last day of the competition.
Song You did not go to the pavilion on the mountainside today. Instead, he was kindly invited by Wu Nuxia to go with her to the middle of Yanxiantai. It was at the very edge of the Yin-Yang Fish Picture, the exclusive location of the Xishan Sect. It was where the martial arts masters competed.
In the previous Yin-Yang diagram, not only can this position be clearly seen, but sometimes the fist, wind, and sword energy can even brush against the scalp.
Xishan sent dozens of people, all of whom are experts in the sect.
Taoism is popular in Yizhou, and the Xishan Sect is also on good terms with several Taoist temples in Qingcheng Mountain. Song You is a Taoist and a fellow from Yizhou. The leader of the Xishan Sect and Wu Nuxia's master also came to have a few words with him.
After learning some things about Qingcheng Mountain and the Taoist temple on the mountain, I went to sit there too.
There are not many chairs here. Most of them are the heads and elders of various sects and other distinguished people. The rest of the people stand at the back and sit on the ground at the front. It's not very particular anyway.
Wu Nuxia sat cross-legged on the ground at the front, and Song You, as her invited guest, sat with her.
A calico cat squats obediently and combs its fur.
I could faintly hear someone talking behind me:
"Look! There's another swallow!"
"There's always been only one. I'm afraid it's still the one from yesterday and the day before, right? But it's here again today."
"This swallow is not ordinary to be afraid of."
For example, a certain Shagong is a good-hearted person who puts the word "righteousness" first. Whenever a Jianghu person comes to seek refuge with him, he will give him good food and drink. Whenever a Jianghu person finds him in trouble, he will try his best to help. He will treat the injured and the sick.
Even if you pass by his door and knock on the door, he will treat you like a guest, even if you are a stranger, even if you are just a nobody in the world, and he will prepare the money before leaving.
After sending you ten miles away, you are more respected in the world than many big sect leaders.
"What's going on?"
Song You also raised his head when he heard this.
"oh!"
Song You then looked forward.
The swords collided again.
Moreover, the martial arts masters all have their own power and territory, whether they are in Yizhou or Xuzhou, or in the south or the north. It is difficult for northerners to admit that the famous heroes in their side are not as good as those in the south, and southerners will never
I admit that the seniors I heard growing up are not as good as the people from the north. This is generally the case.
"Then you come to the city to see me tomorrow. Come at noon tomorrow. I'll stay at the hotel next to the North City Gate. I'll treat you to meat and wine as a farewell." Wu Nuxia was unambiguous and made the arrangement casually, "After eating and drinking this
After a meal, when we go out again, the world is so big that I guess we will never see you again."
There are also some people who are very famous, but they are not very good, but they are all celebrities in the world. At this level, the family has a big business, there are many things to consider, and they have to communicate with each other, and they rarely expose them.
There were spectators outside one after another, either surprised by the seemingly coincidental collision of swallows with swords, or surprised that the once master of the martial arts world was so easily defeated by an unknown young swordsman, but few noticed what was happening below.
The Taoist raised his head and raised his hands to the sky, saying thank you to the swallow.
"Definitely next time."
"Where to go next?"
There are also many celebrities in the world who do not rely on force but rely on financial resources and character.
Song You smiled and continued to watch the competition ahead.
Then two more people from the Jianghu came on the stage to fight. Wu Nuxia continued to explain for him. Song You listened attentively, and always felt that what she said was a bit more exciting than the two people on the stage.
Today is another cloudy day. The sky looks like someone dipped a brush in fresh water and applied a few random strokes. It is a messy and deep mess of gray. There is a black and white swallow flying around on the painting. The sky comes alive because of it.
When I came over, it was really the highlight.
"Usually young people compete with young people, and seniors compete with seniors. For example, just now, the seniors from Jindaomen came on stage, and we juniors can't run up. Unless the seniors call us by name, otherwise we will have to fight against the elders when we come back.
Scold. That man doesn't follow the rules." Wu Nuxia whispered, "No one dares to fight with him now because they are afraid of losing. Even the seniors are not willing and are even more afraid of losing."
"Boxing is afraid of young people."
According to Wu Nuxia, the top players in the arena basically have their own victories and defeats, and some even restrain each other. If they really want to fight, it depends on the state, performance, and even luck at the time, so it is difficult to have a recognized
The theory that the world is first and the world is second.
Although it is actually not needed.
It's really close here. Every time there's a fight between people in the middle, Song You and Mao are worried that they will accidentally hurt themselves. Fortunately, everyone has a sense of proportion. If they show off the Yin-Yang Fish Picture, they will lose, and they don't want to go out easily.
"Where is Wu Xia? Are you going back to Yizhou?"
"Hard to say."
Isn't this one side of the world?
However, he replied: "There was a young man just now. I think his martial arts is also very good. I heard from you that he is a disciple of the largest sect in the world."
"That's pretty good. It's definitely better than living in the city."
A group of Jianghu people quickly avoided it.
"right."
"Xi Yiji from Yunhe Sect?"
The young swordsman had no choice but to leave.
"In a few days."
Song You looked around at the people around him.
"Taoist temple outside the city."
Wu Nuxia looked ahead: "Young people are better at quick reactions, good physical strength, strong bursts, and good durability. After middle age, reaction and physical strength decline, but they are rich in experience and proficient in kung fu. In my opinion, these two are the best.
The time is roughly divided into forty and six, and the elders of the Golden Knife Sect account for four."
"I see."
"See you another day."
"Too lazy to talk about him."
"Where do you live from?"
The elder of the Golden Knife Sect took the sword, his face looked a little ugly, but he smiled and shook his head: "You are indeed old, not as good as the young people today."
"When will you leave Anqing?"
"This is the elder of the Golden Knife Sect. He uses a broad-backed sword superbly. He also won the respect of the entire world back then. Now that he is older, his physical strength is not as good as when he was young, but he has more experience in fighting with others.
, it seems that he has improved again. The person opposite is named Shu Yifan, whose origin is unknown, but he has played the most games in these three days, and he has not lost yet. I think his swordsmanship is very difficult for the younger generation in the world.
Find your opponent."
Wu Nuxia lowered her voice very low.
The golden sword fell towards the head of the Xishan Sect.
"brush!"
However, the swordsman used a clever move and used his long sword to lift the golden sword in the swordsman's hand. The heavy sword immediately flew out of his hand and was lifted several feet high, spinning in the air and flying to the outside, even disturbing the people.
That swallow just passed by.
"..."
Today is indeed more exciting than yesterday and the day before. Those who compete on the stage are all experts from various martial arts, otherwise they are just ignorant boys. There are also some who have no martial arts but are very good at it. According to Wu Nuxia, most of them are officials.
Or maybe he has a military background and hides his true origins just to join in the fun.
Wu Nuxia said while looking up again.
"It should."
Gradually it was time to end the show.
"Really pure."
"Free and easy! A journey counts as a journey!"
"Will you come with us to have a nice meal tonight?"
Wu Nuxia stood up instantly and wanted to draw the knife to catch it.
"The conference is over. It's time for Sanhua Empress and I to leave. Thank you so much for the invitation and explanation from the heroine. It also allowed me to get a glimpse of the world and benefited a lot." Song You stood up and saluted her.
There was no chance for the strongest masters to come out and compete for a round, so as to bring a wonderful ending. However, when the time came, the competition in Liujiang Conference was naturally ended.
"First we will visit Xuzhou." Song You replied honestly, "As for what to do next, I feel ashamed to say that I haven't thought about it carefully yet."
"I guess so……"
It’s just that old age has its own rules.
"It cleared up after the rain yesterday. My fellow Taoist monks from the temple went up the mountain to look for mushrooms and actually picked up a lot of them. When I went out this morning, I told me to go back early to eat mushrooms." Song You looked apologetic, "If
If I don't go back, I'm afraid they will have to wait in the temple. During this time, I have been so well received by the temple owner and fellow Taoists, so how can I disappoint them like this?"
To be continued...
