Long Daxia gradually felt that life was as lonely as snow.
Ever since he hid his identity and covered his face, he has never been recognized along the way, never received a sachet brocade handkerchief, and never been compiled into a new song. However, sometimes when walking at night and looking up at the moon and stars, I always feel that something is missing.
Long Daxia didn't find the true meaning of life, so naturally he didn't want to go home. But while he was away from home, he still had to take care of everything at home. On this day, he received a golden invitation card forwarded by Manager Xu.
The seventy-seventh martial arts conference is about to be held, and the current leader Lin Kai specially invited Long Daxia as the final guest to attend.
Long Daxia stared at the word "guest of the final" for a long time, then sent a letter to Lin Kai directly, saying: "Leader Lin pays homage to you: What are you doing?"
After waiting for a few days, Lin Kai wrote back.
"Dragon hero worship: There are many masters in today's Jianghu, and the schools are fighting each other. Lin is not talented, and he is willing to use the reform of the martial arts conference to contribute to the unity, common prosperity and sustainable development of the Jianghu. Friendship comes first, competition Second, peaceful exchange of ideas and benign competition. Newcomers can emerge, masters can gain prestige, exchange what is needed, and promote a win-win situation.
"Now there are ad hoc auditions, group matches, knockout matches, and exhibition matches. Audience seats are provided around the venue. Ticket prices vary for different seats. All income will be used for the investment and expenses of the Wulin League. In order to enhance professionalism and viewability , all martial arts masters are specially invited to be on-site guests to comment on the finals and give advice to the contestants.
"Of course, all your food, accommodation and transportation expenses during the competition will be reimbursed by the league. In addition, there will also be an appearance fee. The appearance fee is not limited to real money. The rare magical weapons and famous medicine cheats in the league are all open to discussion. .”
…
Long Daxia stared at the entire letter for two days this time.
"Leader Lin pays respects: Oh."
[ten]
If Long Daxia wants to be a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, he will naturally not think of the limelight. But considering that he could meet many friends for a while, and also meet a rookie in martial arts, he agreed.
He still dressed as an unknown soldier, and wandered alone to the hilltop where the martial arts conference was held.
Near the foot of the mountain, the road is full of people from the rivers and lakes with swords, guns and halberds. Some are looking for the nearest inn to stay, and some are going up the mountain. There are also many merchants, scholars, or peasants dressed up, each with a stamped ticket, and they also join in the fun by poking around.
Long Daxia was walking, and suddenly found a few acquaintances not far away, who were about to go up to say hello, suddenly remembered his current appearance, so he had to give up for the time being. However, I was a little bit unwilling in the end, thinking to myself: It’s fine if others don’t recognize me, can’t even my friends recognize me? Everyone only recognizes people by their face, so wouldn't this person live for the rest of his life with only his face
Just as he was feeling depressed, he suddenly heard someone beside him excitedly say: "Hero."
The dragon hero was shocked!
Long Daxia turned his head in shock, only to see a small fortune-telling stall on the side of the road, and the fortune-teller was staring at him with scorching eyes.
The fortune-teller was very young, with delicate features, but he had a thin, knowledgeable beard on his fair chin. While stroking his beard, he said inscrutablely: "This hero, he has had bad luck recently, what is there to worry about?"
[eleven]
Qian Zhenduo has been stationed here since the martial arts conference was held. He set up a stall at the foot of the mountain, and whenever he saw people passing by in the rivers and lakes, he would first call out "hero" or "woman" emotionally, and stop calling people. Just now, he saw Long Daxia passing by with his head shrugged, so he added, "Is there anything to worry about?"
What worries could these people have at such a time? It's not that I'm worried about losing, or I've already lost.
Naturally, Long Daxia didn't know that the fortune-teller had turned his head. He only knew that he hadn't been called a "hero" for a long, long time, so his expression couldn't help but waver.
Qian Zhenduo strikes while the iron is hot: "I see that the hero looks different, not like ordinary people, let me take a look at the hero, make a divination, and see how the future is good or bad? No money, no money. "
Long Daxia doesn't believe in fortune-telling at all, and usually ignores it, but now he has a thought. It is said that fortune tellers know people best, so he wanted to see if this person could guess his origin.
Long Daxia lifted his clothes, sat down on the low stool in front of the stall, and said, "Forget it."
Qian Zhenduo squinted at Long Daxia's fake face for a long while, then asked him to spread his palms and look at the slightly calloused palms, and finally lowered his head to count, and suddenly Eyes wide open!
Qian Zhenduo focused his eyes and said: "Oh, what a hero is the pearl covered in dust."
The dragon hero was shocked!
[twelve]
There is a principle of work when there is so much money. If he sees people beaming with joy, he will say, "Your Excellency has been lucky recently, so you must be calm and calm, so that good things will continue." The bad luck will be eliminated, and it will shine in the near future."
Qian Zhenduo focused his eyes and said: "The bad luck will be eliminated, and it will shine in the near future."
Long Daxia immediately trusted the fortune teller again. It should be known that he will show his real body in the finals soon, and if he shows his face at that time, it will be a big show.
Long Daxia smiled slightly and said: "Trust Mr. Good luck." He wanted to pay for the reward.
Qian Zhenduo drawled, "It's just."
Long Daxia said: "What?"
Qian Zhenduo said: "I look at the palm prints of the hero, it seems that there will be a small catastrophe in the past two years, if you are not careful, it will be wrong after all." He pointed to a few wooden talismans on the table, "The little one here There are a few ancestral luck transfer peach charms, the small one is only ten coins, the big one is thirty coins, the effectiveness varies, and they can help people pray for good fortune and eliminate disasters, why don't heroes take one with them?"
"..."
[Thirteen]
Long Daxia was hesitating, when suddenly a burly man came from the street with a knife, he raised his foot, kicked over the fortune-telling booth with a bang, and the wooden talisman fell to the ground with a bang!
"..."
Long Daxia had no choice but to get up and avoid it. The big man had a blood-stained white cloth wrapped around his shoulders, and his beard was sticky with sweat. He roared angrily, "You are a liar like a dog, don't you mean that I want to shine?"
"..."
Long Daxia said from the side: "Huh?"
The big man said: "I believed your nonsense, so I mustered up the courage to go to the audition, and I was defeated in the first round."
Qian Zhenduo saw the gleaming sword of the big man, without hesitation he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Hero, please forgive me, hero, the little one only calculated that the hero will have a turning point in the near future, he never said it was today, hero , there will be a change of luck in a few days, hero."
"..."
Long Daxia said: "Oh."
[fourteen]
The big man Yuanpan's face was as red as Guan Gong's, and he said furiously: "I want your life." He raised his knife and was about to chop it off.
At this time, Long Daxia already knew that what the fortune teller used was just some tricks. But he is a kind and handsome hero after all, and he can't just watch such things as killing people in the street happen.
The big man raised his hand and slashed down with the knife, but he stopped in mid-air, no matter how difficult it was to move half an inch. Qian Zhenduo huddled on the ground and took a closer look, only to find that his wrist was firmly supported by Long Daxia!
Long Daxia said: "Oh, my hands are slippery."
With a little force from the fingers, only a "clang" sound was heard, and the knife fell to the ground. The big man's face turned pale immediately, knowing that he was invincible, but because his rank was too low, he couldn't figure out the gap between himself and the opponent at all, so he still had the courage to say a few cruel words, and then walked away in despair.
Qian Zhenduo got up with a grunt, and worshiped with his eyes shining: "Hero!"
"..."
[fifteen]
Long Daxia turned his hands away, looked into the distance with desolate eyes, and said calmly: "Don't call me a hero, I am just a nameless rat. That move just now was definitely not dislocated with a small grabbing hand and skillful force. It was just an accidental hand. slip."
Qian Zhenduo eagerly said: "Don't hide your identity anymore, the hero must be a top expert, the real person doesn't show his face."
Long Daxia said: "No."
Qian Zhenduo said: "But the one just now was really a superb skill, even the little ones were dumbfounded."
Long Daxia said: "It's just a coincidence."
Qian Zhenduo said: "What's more, the hero is so benevolent, he didn't care about me cheating money first, but he saved my insignificant life, what a warm hearted hero."
Long Daxia stared into the distance in all four empty spaces.
"..."
There is so much money that I have no words to exaggerate, so I stopped and took a breath.
Long Daxia withdrew his gaze and looked at him suspiciously.
Qian Zhenduo hurriedly said: "And the hero is still a man of talent, with such a tall figure, such deep eyes, even coarse linen clothes can't hide his grandeur, hero."
Long Daxia looked away desolately into the distance again. Worldly fame is like passing clouds.
[sixteen]
Long Daxia bid farewell to the thankful little liar and went up the mountain alone. I saw a circle of high walls surrounding the competition arena, crowded with people inside, dozens of rings were set up, and applause and curses came from the surrounding stands from time to time. It turned out that the audition had already started, and due to the large number of participants, the audition alone would last for several days.
It needs to be known that people like Long Daxia, although they are young, are already ranked high in the arena, so they are treated the same as Shaolin abbot, Wudang master, etc., and will not show up until the finals. There are also several secluded courtyards set aside for guests to rest during the conference.
Long Daxia first found a deserted place in the mountains and forests to restore his original appearance and attire, and then abducted to his own courtyard. The leading disciple welcomed him into the house, and after a while, a man knocked on the door with a folding fan in his hand.
Long Daxia got up and cupped his fists and said, "Leader Lin."
Lin Kai's clothes are elegant and luxurious, his face is kind and smart, he doesn't look like a warrior, but like a rich businessman.
Lin Kai put away his folding fan, patted him on the shoulder and said affectionately, "Hero Long, don't come here unharmed."
Long Daxia said: "It's still safe."
Lin Kai inquired: "I heard that you haven't returned home for more than half a year, but what's the matter?"
Long Daxia said: "I'm looking for something missing in my life."
[Seventeen]
Lin Kaidao: "With your knowledge of martial arts and your family business status, what else can you lack? Let's hear it, as long as you ask, brother will always find a way for you."
Long Daxia said deeply: "I don't know what it is yet."
"..."
Lin Kaidao: "Dragon Hero is really a master, hahaha."
[eighteen]
Long Daxia paid a visit to other guests' other courtyards, and with nothing to do, he hid in the bedroom and pretended to be the unknown servant, and wandered down the mountain. After wandering around for half a day, I stumbled across a fortune-telling stall before I knew it.
Long Daxia thought to himself that there are so many fortune tellers in this place, and he couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw it again: Isn't this just that little liar just now!
Qian Zhenduo had just escaped a catastrophe, and changed the place as if nothing had happened, and set up the stall again, his eyes followed the passers-by, and he called out from time to time: "Heroes."
"..."
Long Daxia looked worried. Qian Zhenduo turned his eyes, and suddenly turned to Long Daxia's face, and said happily: "Hero!"
"..."
Long Daxia ignored it, and walked into a tea shop across the street to sit for a while. Qian Zhenduo watched him go away stupidly.
