After a long while, the old man with the white beard was the first to react. He jumped onto the ring in a flash, and came to Chu Yuhong's side. After a careful inspection, he found that his whole body was intact and there was no sign of poisoning. The magic weapon was severely wounded, and the internal organs vibrated violently.
He frowned, stood up, looked at Zhang Xiaofan, couldn't help admiring the young man, and by the way, also glanced at the black fire stick tightly held in Zhang Xiaofan's hand.
"You won." The white-bearded old man suppressed his doubts and said calmly.
The Chaoyang Peak disciples in the audience shouted loudly, but the facts were before them, and they had nothing to say. It was just that Chu Yuhong's defeat was too inexplicable, unimaginable, and he was clearly defeated, and he suddenly lost with a loud roar. I can't accept it.
At this time Zeng Shushu was also dumbfounded, but when he heard the old man with white beard say those three words, he also rushed up, ran to Zhang Xiaofan, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed loudly: "Good boy, so you It's hidden!"
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly turned his head, his face frosty, staring at him coldly.
Those cold but black eyes!
Zeng Shushu suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and asked in surprise, "Xiaofan, what's wrong?"
When Zhang Xiaofan was asked, his body shook, as if he remembered something, his eyes immediately softened, the strange cold feeling in his eyes disappeared, he returned to his usual feeling, seemed to be a little confused, said: " No, nothing! I'm fine! What's wrong?"
Zeng Shushu stared and said: "You still ask me what's wrong, why don't you ask me, you don't know that you won this match?"
Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback, surprised: "What, did I win? I actually won?"
Zeng Shushu was even more frightened by him, his face turned pale, he quickly stretched out his hand to measure his forehead, and said, "Ku Ye, you must have been confused by the fire just now, right?"
Zhang Xiaofan scratched his head, and then saw a few Chaoyang Peak disciples carrying the unconscious Chu Yuhong down on the stage in the distance, some of them were still looking at him bitterly.
Watching those people go further and further away, in Zhang Xiaofan's mind, the scenes of fighting skills just now clearly emerged. He lowered his head subconsciously, looking at the black fire stick in his hand.
The ugly short stick was quietly in his hand, motionless, but in Zhang Xiaofan's eyes, the fire stick that had accompanied him for two years had never been so strange, as if he had returned to the deep valley many years ago, reappearing that Horror nightmare.
"Pa", it was Zeng Shushu who was watching Zhang Xiaofan in a daze, knocked his head with the fan in his hand, and said, "What are you thinking?"
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head, sighed, put the fire stick in his arms, said: "It's nothing, let's go. By the way, why did you come to watch me compete?"
Zeng Shushu glanced at the fire stick he received in his arms, and said: "The competition hasn't started yet, so I ran over to watch your competition when I had nothing to do. I didn't expect to see a good show. Eh, today your three-eyed Spirit monkey, what do you call it..."
Zhang Xiaofan said: "Xiaohui."
Zeng Shushu said: "Yes, Xiao Hui, why didn't you see Xiao Hui today?"
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and said: "I didn't see its shadow early in the morning, probably sneaked away to play with Rhubarb again."
Zeng Shushu yelled "Aiya", with a regretful look on his face, Zhang Xiaofan saw it, and couldn't help guessing that this guy said he came to see him for a competition, but in fact, he probably just wanted to see Xiao Hui, right
"Wow!"
In the distance, suddenly there was a loud commotion, and the two of them heard it clearly even when they were far away. When they looked up, they saw that in the center of the distance, disciples of the Qingyun sect gathered under the "Qian" platform, and exclamation came and went. .
Before Zhang Xiaofan could react, Zeng Shushu already stumbled and shouted: "Oh no, no, I was only looking at you, but I forgot the most important thing." Then he pulled Zhang Xiaofan and ran away.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't know why, he asked while running, "What's the matter?"
Zeng Shushu looked remorseful, and said: "There is Lu Xueqi competing!"
Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help smiling, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion in his heart, he raised his eyes and looked at this friend he had known for just two days, under the deserted ring just now, he couldn't see his elders from the same sect, senior brothers, But only this person stood alone on his side in the audience full of Chaoyang Peak disciples.
A burst of warmth slowly rose from my heart.
"Master Zeng... Shushu, thank you for coming to see me just now."
Zeng Shushu, who was running, froze for a moment, slowed down his pace, looked back at Zhang Xiaofan, and then smiled: "Hehe, it's a small matter, if you are too moved, why don't you let Xiaohui..."
"Let's go quickly!"
Zeng Shushu leaned aside, shook his head, followed Zhang Xiaofan who was running like the wind, and muttered a few words vaguely.
※※※
The two ran closer, but they saw groups of Qingyun disciples had dispersed, most of them were quite excited, and they were arguing fiercely with each other. They looked up to the stage and saw that there was no one on the stage, but the wooden stage was covered with scars, it seemed that the competition had ended.
Zeng Shushu rolled his eyes, pulled Zhang Xiaofan to turn left and right, weaving through the crowd, within a short while, he found his target - the group of Fenghui Peak disciples.
Zeng Shushu hurriedly leaned forward, the disciples of Fenghui Peak laughed when they saw it was him, among them Zhang Xiaofan still had some impression of a tall man and said with a smile: "Junior brother, didn't you say you must see Lu Xueqi? Why did you run away without a trace?" gone?"
Zeng Shushu coughed dryly, and said, "Isn't, uh, I have something to do! By the way, let me tell you how it turned out?"
A thick-browed man next to him said: "Needless to say, I know, with Tianya here, even senior brother Duan Lei from Nagato Tongtian Peak is no match for him!"
Zeng Shushu asked in surprise, "Even Senior Brother Duan lost to her?"
Zhang Xiaofan asked Zeng Shushu from the side: "Is that brother Duan Lei very good?"
Zeng Shushu nodded and said: "Yes, Duan Lei is an outstanding figure in Nagato in recent years, and he is also very popular in this Qimai martial arts competition."
The tall man shook his head and said: "What's the use of that, you didn't see it, the Tianya Excalibur is really powerful, the blue light flashed a few times, and it rang a few times, Senior Brother Duan Lei was defeated." He seemed to be unsatisfied, sighed, and said: "You won't believe it even after I told you, but in the end, Lu Xueqi still didn't draw the Tianya Divine Sword out of its sheath."
Zeng Shushu was stunned for a moment, and said: "Then what is the competition? Who else is her opponent?"
The tall man shook his head and said: "That's not entirely true, even if the scabbard is not pulled out of a god like Tianya, its power is about the same, but that Lu Xueqi is really amazing because of her cultivation."
Zeng Shushu glanced at him and said, "Senior Brother Gao, how do you know?"
Zhang Xiaofan took a look at the tall man, thought to himself, this surname is worthy of the name, only heard the senior brother Gao say: "I also listened to what the master said."
Zeng Shushu asked in surprise, "My father?"
Brother Gao said: "Yes, just now when you didn't come, the master was also watching here, and at the end he muttered something, saying that this woman might have cultivated Taiji Xuanqing Dao to the eighth level of the Jade Qing Realm, then It’s unknown even on the ninth floor.”
Zeng Shushu's color changed, he froze on the spot, unable to speak for a while, Zhang Xiaofan felt strange, he just felt that Zeng Shushu had said from the very beginning that he didn't care about the result of the competition, but no matter how he looked at it, he cared very much.
At this time, the sound of a bell and a cauldron came from a distance, the Fenghui Peak crowd headed by senior brother Gao seemed to be competing, they all walked towards the sound, Zhang Xiaofan saw that Zeng Shushu was still in place, went over and pulled him.
Zeng Shushu woke up startled, then smiled and said: "It's over, it's over, we're completely hopeless now."
Zhang Xiaofan really didn't care, said: "It's over, it's over, by the way, haven't you competed yet?"
Zeng Shushu glanced into the distance, and said, "I haven't started yet! But it's time to pass, and you! Where are you going?"
Zhang Xiaofan thought for a while and said: "I'm going to report to Master and Mistress, although I won by luck."
Zeng Shushu nodded and said, "Then come and find me if you are free!"
Zhang Xiaofan nodded in response, the two said goodbye.
※※※
Zhang Xiaofan turned around and walked to the other side of the crowd, listening to the Qing Yun disciples passing by him talking about the battle between Lu Xueqi and Duan Lei just now.
After searching for a long time, Zhang Xiaofan finally found the people of Dazhu Peak in the west, but from a distance, he saw Tian Buyi's face was angry and livid, Zhang Xiaofan was always very afraid of Tian Buyi, so he sneaked over now, Tian Buyi glanced at him , turned his eyes away, and didn't even ask him the result.
Suru, Tian Ling'er and several other Dazhufeng disciples are all here, only the senior brother Song Daren is missing. Zhang Xiaofan glanced at the crowd, seeing that Tian Linger is fine, but the faces of the senior brothers are full of frustration, so he quietly asked Du Bishu beside him, "Sixth senior brother, what's wrong?"
Du Bishu took a look at Tian Buyi, saw that he didn't seem to be looking here, and whispered: "Just now, except for the big brother, we all had a competition, but only the junior sister won, and the master is angry!"
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Suru stood aside, seeing all the disciples trembling, Tian Buyi's face was livid, he shook his head and sighed, and said softly to Zhang Xiaofan who just came back: "Xiaofan, you're back, what's the result?"
Zhang Xiaofan hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Master, I, I won by luck."
Suru: "Oh, it doesn't matter, if you lose, you lose, just take it as an experience..." Her voice suddenly quieted down, she looked at Zhang Xiaofan, and asked in surprise, "What did you just say?"
Everyone, including Tian Buyi, turned their heads to look at Zhang Xiaofan at the same time, Zhang Xiaofan blushed, but for the first time in his life, under the eyes of everyone, especially the astonished gaze of Tian Linger who was beside Suru, he felt a trace of vain excitement , raising his voice slightly, he looked at Tian Buyi, and said: "Master, Master, I just won by luck."
Everyone was in an uproar.
※※※
Everyone in Dazhu Peak gathered under the "Kun" stage, watching Song Daren who was the last to compete today. On the stage, Song Daren was fighting fiercely with his opponent. The huge sword body of the "Ten Tigers" sword seemed to transform into countless ferocious giant tigers in mid-air. Slashed over and took advantage.
But in the audience, everyone in Dazhu Peak was happy, but they still couldn't accept the facts Zhang Xiaofan said.
"Junior brother, you mean that in the competition just now, you were about to lose, but unexpectedly the other guy named Chu Yuhong suddenly fell ill and passed out with blood all over his face?"
"Yes! Fourth Senior Brother, you and Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, and Fifth Senior Brother have asked me twenty-two times, why are you still asking? Sixth Senior Brother, please persuade them! What I said is really truth."
Du Bishu: "...Little Junior Brother, you mean that in the competition just now, you were about to lose, but the other guy named Chu Yuhong suddenly fell ill and passed out with blood all over his face?"
Zhang Xiaofan hugged his head and moaned: "... yes! It's the twenty-third time."
Tian Linger on the side said angrily: "Why are you forcing him like this, Xiaofan won't lie." When she said this, she also shook her head and said: "But Xiaofan, you are so lucky, isn't it a bit It’s too much! No wonder people don’t believe it.”
Zhang Xiaofan was speechless.
Listening to the chattering of the disciples behind him, Tian Buyi and Suru still looked at the stage. After a while, Suru suddenly whispered: "What do you think?"
Tian Buyi frowned, and retorted: "It is said that he won with his ability, do you believe it?"
Suru smiled and said: "Our apprentice! The luck is really extraordinary!"
Tian Buyi snorted.
There was a loud bang, and Song Daren roared loudly on the stage, and saw the Ten Tiger Immortal Sword's yellow light piercing the sky, almost blinding people's eyes, as if they were cutting mountains and seas, they killed them with invincible momentum, and the opponent finally resisted Unable to stop, he was crushed by this huge force, spewing blood from his mouth and flew backwards.
The cheers of everyone in Big Bamboo Peak were thunderous, Tian Buyi finally showed a smile on his face.
Song Daren walked off the ring and returned to the crowd, first Xiang Tian Buyi and Suru met, and then the crowd warmly congratulated.
"Hehe, it's a fluke! Sixth brother, don't be so nasty! Hey, you're back, little brother. What happened today? You didn't get hurt! Alas! Seeing you like this, listening to what the senior brother said, you The cultivation of Tao is shallow, and there will be opportunities in the future, don't worry about the outcome of a game... Uh, why do you all look at me like this?"
Tian Buyi first turned around and walked away, Suru smiled at the big apprentice and followed, Song Daren was puzzled and asked everyone: "What's wrong?"
Tian Linger walked up to him and told him again, Song Daren turned his head in disbelief, Zhang Xiaofan shrank back in fear, and said: "Brother, I know that my luck is not a good thing, but it is In this way, I can't... "
Song Daren's eyes widened: "...Little Junior Brother, you mean that in the competition just now, you were about to lose, but the other guy named Chu Yuhong suddenly fell ill, and passed out with blood all over his face." past?"
Zhang Xiaofan fell down in despair.
※※※
At the end of the day, there were still only 16 people participating in the Qingyunmen Qimai Martial Arts Competition. To the surprise of many people, Dazhufeng, which has always been in decline, actually accounted for three of them, far surpassing the previous ones. .
Regardless of what's going on internally, Tian Buyi's face is very bright to the outside world, he has a smile on his face all day, and in the eyes of all the disciples, there are many discussions in private.
Du Bishu: "Look at Master's happy face, you can feel elated now."
Wu Dayi: "Who says it's not! The senior brother and the junior junior sister have indeed given him the old man's face."
He Dazhi: "I'm ashamed to say, although my junior sister is young, she is much more competitive than my fourth senior brother. The future is boundless!"
Zheng Dali: "Don't forget that there is a junior brother! He has also entered the third round."
Du Bishu: "Why don't we start a gamble again, and see how likely it is that the younger brother will break through another level, do you dare to place a bet?"
Wu Dayi, He Dazhi, Zheng Dali, Lu Daxin: "I bet he loses! Double!"
Du Bishu: "...cough cough, hey, why did the senior brother disappear while walking, ah! Junior junior brother? Junior junior sister? What happened, where did everyone go?"
He Dazhi thought for a while, and said, "I don't know the junior junior and junior junior sister, but I guess the possibility of the senior brother..."
Everyone looked at each other and said in unison: "Sister Wenmin, Xiaozhufeng!"
※※※
Song Daren, the eldest, suddenly trembled inexplicably. Wen Min saw it, and was very surprised, and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Song Daren frowned and said, "I don't know, my body suddenly became cold."
Wen Min glanced at him and said angrily, "You must be guilty of being a thief!"
Song Daren immediately shook his head like a rattle, and said repeatedly: "What's the matter, what's the matter!"
Wen Min's expression slowed down, but he still snorted, and said, "Then what are you doing sneaking into the room of my little Zhufeng female disciple?"
There was a burst of laughter from the side, Song Daren looked around in embarrassment, at this time the competition was over, and most of the female disciples from Xiaozhufeng came back, smiling and looking at him with interest. Song Daren blushed slightly, changed the subject, and said, "Oh...why didn't you see my little junior sister?"
Wen Min smiled and said: "Your little junior sister is naturally beautiful and lively, she has been asked out a long time ago."
Song Daren was taken aback, and said in amazement: "What, who asked you out?"
Wen Min shook his head and remained silent, but said: "If you see your junior sister Ling'er, you should advise her to be more careful tomorrow!"
When Song Daren talked about Tian Linger, he was not so embarrassed to Wen Min alone, and he spoke more fluently, frowning: "I know that my junior sister will compete with your junior sister Lu Xueqi and Lu Xueqi from Xiaozhufeng tomorrow, the two of us Master Mai has always been on good terms, so it should be fine, and besides, the Qimai martial arts competition is just a competition."
Wen Min glanced at him, and said calmly: "Your teacher's wife, Master Su, is naturally very good with my master, but my master doesn't like your master very much. I'm afraid I still blame your master for abducting us." Where is Uncle Su!"
Song Daren was choked, and was about to say something, but Wen Min looked at the surrounding female disciples of Xiaozhufeng again, and saw that all the female disciples calmed down and looked at this place.
Song Daren asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Wen Min looked at him, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said: "Senior Brother Song, Junior Sister Lu is different from us. She has a bit of a weird temper, but Master loves her very much. After entering the ring, everything will be hard to say."
Song Daren's expression changed, and he said, "What's the matter?"
Wen Min closed his mouth and did not continue.
