The two saluted each other.
The battle that is about to start will be the last battle, and it will also be the battle that will determine the first place in the Great Dynasty Trial. Compared with the previous battles, the atmosphere is naturally a little different.
The windows on the second floor were open, and those big shots came to the window, and the Li Palace priests who were in charge of the exam also came to the fence, not to watch the excitement, but to show respect to the two candidates who participated in this duel.
Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi saluted the people on the second floor again.
At this moment, there was a soft creaking sound from the building, and then seeing those priests from the palace bowing and avoiding, the expressions of those big men changed slightly, and they greeted the sound.
The leader of the old school of the state religion, Bishop Merisa of the Episcopal Office, was present in person.
Because of age and seniority, and because of the confrontation with the Pope in the past six months, the bishop's status in the state church has become more and more prosperous. King Chen Liu and Xue Xingchuan greeted him first, and Xu Shiji saluted. The archbishop of the church also bowed to salute.
The Bishop looked at Mo Yu and nodded.
Mo Yu knew the meaning of the old man's presence, and his face became colder, but he didn't speak.
…
…
The second floor was a bit bustling. The big shots greeted the guests one after another, and then rearranged their seats. They also wanted to make tea and fruit. For a while, the two protagonists, Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng, felt a little forgotten.
When they didn't know how to fight for a while, the two of them also started talking.
Gou Hanshi said: "You have surprised many people."
Chen Changsheng said: "My signing luck is good."
This is honesty, not humility, and it is not a sham under the guise of modesty.
Gou Hanshi looked at him quietly, and said: "With your ability, you have been too quiet in the capital for half a year. You shouldn't be so silent. You have the right to live more comfortably."
Chen Changsheng said, "I didn't expect you to persuade me."
Gou Hanshi smiled and said: "They are all people who like to read, and they really don't like to go out very much. It's just that this sentence was persuaded by my brother back then. I think it makes sense, so I pass it on to you."
His senior brother is naturally Qiu Shanjun.
Chen Changsheng thought for a while, but didn't answer, but answered Gou Hanshi's first suggestion, saying, "I have to live cautiously, so I'm used to living cautiously."
Gou Hanshi disagreed and said, "Strictness and prudence are two different words."
Chen Changsheng shook his head, insisted on this, and said, "It's just being cautious."
Gou Hanshi was silent for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Why?"
"This is something people don't understand, and it's something I can't explain." Chen Changsheng said.
Gou Hanshi said: "To live cautiously, absolutely does not include the first place in the university examination."
Chen Changsheng glanced at the second floor and said, "You were also there that day, so you know that I didn't say these words."
Gou Hanshi stared into his eyes and said, "You didn't say that, did you do that?"
Chen Changsheng remained silent and admitted this.
Gou Hanshi said: "That's why I find this very contradictory."
Chen Changsheng said: "As I said, this is something that people don't understand, and it's something that I can't explain, but it's not contradictory, because no one likes to live cautiously."
At this moment, a questioning voice came from the priest from Li Palace on the second floor.
It's the same sentence that has been repeated countless times today.
"are you ready?"
…
…
Before the battle started, Chen Changsheng apologized to Gou Hanshi.
"I must take the top spot. For this purpose, I am willing to do anything, Zhexiu... I made a deal with him after receiving money from the Orthodox Academy. He promised me to beat you as much as possible, at least consume If you meet me, he will directly abstain."
Gou Hanshi was a little surprised, he was silent for a while, and said, "No wonder he worked so hard."
After saying this, he coughed, frowned slightly, and looked a little pained, then he looked at Chen Changsheng and asked: "You are not a person who cares about fame, why do you attach so much importance to the Dachao Examination?"
Chen Changsheng said: "As I said, many things cannot be explained."
Gou Hanshi didn't say anything more.
Chen Changsheng didn't finish his sentence, he looked at the sword beside Gou Hanshi's waist, and said with some hesitation: "The general formula of swordsmanship, can I get something in exchange?"
The master formula of Lishan Sword Art can be exchanged for many things, especially for the disciples of Lishan Sword Sect, not to mention the first place in the Dachao Trial, even if it is something more important, they are willing to give up.
Gou Hanshi knew that the general formula of Lishan Sword Art used to be in Baidi City, and now he is in the Orthodox Academy, so he never thought that Chen Changsheng would have such a proposal. He was silent for a long time, then shook his head and said, "I'm a disciple of Li Shan, so I can't accept it, since it's my Li Shan's sword technique, in the future, we disciples will definitely rely on our own strength to invite you back to Li Shan, instead of using it. Come make a deal."
Hearing that he rejected Luoluo's proposal, Chen Changsheng was not disappointed, but relaxed a little.
"Then come on."
Chen Changsheng picked up the falling rain whip with his right hand, with a slight movement of his true energy, the head of the whip slightly raised, and swung lightly in the wind.
This is the last and most important battle of this year's imperial examination.
It started quietly, but also suddenly.
Gou Hanshi drew his sword out of its sheath, and waved his arms at will, the sword trembled slightly in the air, humming.
He walked towards Chen Changsheng, his steps were steady and slow, but there was a feeling that he couldn't avoid it.
Gou Hanshi drew out his sword, and the intent of the sword went away peacefully. In Xichen Building, there was no sword whistle, but a very clear voice sounded from the blue sky far outside the building, as if someone was singing there.
Fisherman's songs answer each other, and the song has arrived when the sound hits the ears.
The sword came too fast, and too peacefully, even faintly with the joy of meeting the opponent with the sword. Facing this seemingly ordinary sword, Chen Changsheng felt unavoidable. , there is no way to take effect in such a short period of time.
He poured all his true energy into the Rainfall Whip, and used the whip as a sword to stand in front of him.
With a crisp crash, the Rainfall Whip trembled violently.
A golden luster appeared on the falling rain whip, giving birth to a majestic force, which forcibly blocked Gou Hanshi's sword intent, but it couldn't stop his sword intent from penetrating into Chen Changsheng's wrist along the handle of the whip.
His hand trembled, followed by his forearm, and the clear pain went up to his shoulder. He could no longer hold the whip handle, and with the sound of breaking through the air, the rain whip whimpered and let go.
At this moment, Gou Hanshi's second sword followed. Following the appearance of this sword, singing sounded again in the distant sky outside Xichen Tower, and the sky suddenly filled with sunset.
The falling rain whip flew away, and Chen Changsheng still had the Wenshui sword. He held the hilt of the sword and pulled it outward, only to hear a whistling sound, and the Wenshui sword came out of its sheath. All the windows and doors are painted in red and warm colors.
The evening clouds in Wenshui Sanshi.
Two sunset glows meet in Xichenlou, and the black cornices turn into gold.
An extremely pure aura, following the sword intent in the sunset, broke through Chen Changsheng's defense, and attacked his chest and abdomen. If it wasn't for the last moment, the Wenshui sword whistled suddenly, relying on the sword itself His powerful aura blocked most of the attacks for him, and he was bound to be seriously injured.
The Wenshui sword saved him, but was also thrown high into the sky by Gou Hanshi's sword, whizzing and circling, and flew far away from the Xichen Building, where he landed.
Chen Changsheng rushed back without hesitation, wanting to use Ye Shibu. At the same time, his right hand had already grasped the hilt of the dagger, and his left hand had grasped a small thing that had fallen from his sleeve.
Sure enough, Gou Hanshi's third strike came again.
Three sword strikes in a row, without any interval in between, did not leave any chance for Chen Changsheng to breathe. The singing came from the sky, the sunset glowed from the sky, and then a fishing boat came out from the sunset glow.
Three fisherman's songs are three swords.
This is the sword technique that Gou Han eats, and it is also his most powerful sword technique.
His first strike knocked down Chen Changsheng's Falling Rain Whip, his second strike sent Wenshui Sword flying, and his third strike was as dazzling as the brilliance of the setting sun. How could Chen Changsheng deal with it
The three swords are coherent and perfect, and he has no possibility of using Yezhibu at all.
There was a soft bang in the dust-cleaning building.
In front of Gou Hanshi's sword, Chen Changsheng was no longer there.
Chen Changsheng appeared by the wall more than twenty feet away behind him, his body was pale and even slightly trembling because of this seemingly joyful and peaceful, but actually thrilling Three Swords of Fisherman's Song.
A stream of white smoke slowly overflowed from the gap between his clenched left fingers.
Gou Hanshi put away his sword and stood still, looked at him slightly and asked, "Qianli Button?"
That's right, the method Chen Changsheng used to avoid the last strike of Yuge's Three Swords was Qianli Niu. Only Qianli Niu can help him avoid the three swords that Gou Hanshi has been preparing for a long time and is determined to win.
When he, Luo Luo and the others were thinking about how to fight this match at Lin Pan, how could Gou Hanshi not think about it
There was a dead silence in the Xichen building, and after a while, an uncontrollable exclamation sounded from the second floor.
In order to avoid a single blow, Chen Changsheng was willing to use the incomparably precious Qianli Button, which is life-threatening to ascetics, which shocked everyone. At the same time, he confirmed once again how much respect His Royal Highness Luo Luo has for this young teacher. Love, but what shocked everyone in the building the most was Gou Hanshi's three swords.
The three swords seemed ordinary, without wind and rain, and the sunset was calm, but they were indeed Gou Hanshi's strongest three swords, and they gave people a feeling that they didn't want to resist.
If Chen Changsheng didn't have the Falling Rain Whip, the Wenshui Sword and the Qianli Button, he would have already lost.
Gou Hanshi is really strong.
People were a little surprised, even in the last round of discounted sleeves, Gou Hanshi didn't use such a secret sword as soon as he came up, why did he not hold back when he faced Chen Changsheng at this time
Chen Changsheng looked at the falling rain whip that fell on the ground, thought about the Wenshui sword that fell somewhere, and looked at the Qianli button that had disappeared into nothingness in his palm. He remained silent, knowing that he was still a long way away from Gou Hanshi The distance is much, much larger than the gap between Zhe Xiu and the opponent.
If Gou Hanshi still had a fourth sword, how would he block it
