Chapter 186 Visitors

Zhang Xiaohu pointed to the arena that was as high as two people, and said with a smile: "It's such a high arena, I wonder how Xiaohua can get up there?"

Zhang Xiaohua slapped the back of his head and almost screamed, "Oh, I forgot. The escalator is at the Young Eagle Hall. It must have been put away long ago. It's hard to find it. What should I do? ?”

He Tianshu looked at Zhang Xiaohua helplessly and complained: "Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohua, can you quickly learn that "Mang Niu Jin"? Hurry up and practice Qinggong. You do this every day, do you know that it makes me lose face? ah."

After saying that, he said "Just a moment" and ran out.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at He Tianshu's retreating back, smiled, and said to himself: "I don't even feel ashamed, are you still afraid of losing face?"

Not long after, He Tianshu was seen carrying an escalator and came back under the strange looks of the disciples.

Seeing the two Zhang Xiaohua brothers, He Tianshu threw the escalator to Zhang Xiaohu angrily and said, "I knew there was nothing wrong with you bringing me here so early in the morning."

Zhang Xiaohu went up the escalator and was about to say something when he heard a bell ringing. The whole square immediately became quiet. Zhang Xiaohua looked around in surprise, wondering what was going on.

He Tianshu quickly patted Zhang Xiaohua on the shoulder, lowered his voice and said, "The third level is about to begin. Be careful not to talk, just watch carefully."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua immediately raised his head and looked at the largest arena in front of him. However, there was still no one on the arena. When Zhang Xiaohua was surprised, he saw a group of people walking out of the meeting hall behind the arena. It's the leader of the Piao Miao faction, Ou Pengou.

There were a group of people waiting behind, including some familiar to Zhang Xiaohua and some whom he had never met before. They were all high-level people from the Miao Miao Sect. Zhang Xiaohua originally thought they would go to the ring, but instead they walked along the steps to a stage made of reed mats. There were many tables and chairs under the reed mats. Zhang Xiaohua stroked her forehead and smiled secretly. The ring was for competitions. Where, what is the big gang leader doing there?

When Ou Peng and others sat down under the reed seats, they saw a young disciple jumping onto the ring. It was Zhang Chengyue, the chief disciple of the Piao Miao Sect.

Zhang Chengyue came to the ring, first looked up and around, looked at the people in the square, and said loudly: "The third level of the martial arts competition begins now."

Zhang Chengyue's voice was not high, but it resounded throughout the entire audience. It reverberated for a long time, as if he was talking in people's ears. Zhang Xiaohua was envious in her heart. She squinted at He Tianshu next to him and said to himself: "As expected of the chief disciple, his internal strength is amazing. It’s not like Gao He Tianshu is even a little bit better.”

In fact, although Zhang Xiaohua has already mastered martial arts and can know the martial arts levels of Zhang Chengyue and He Tianshu by feel, but if they don't really fight, how can he tell who is strong and who is not?

What he relied on was seeing the jealous look in He Tianshu's eyes!

Today is the third stage of the martial arts competition. It is also the essence of the martial arts competition. It is the most lively moment. All the disciples who have won the previous competitions will have to show off their skills today. Moreover, it is only today that Gang Leader Ou comes to the ring in person. In the past, even if Gang Leader Ou had a high vision, there were all elders in the sect in the reed mat shed. If his performance was recognized by those people, wouldn't his future in the Miao Miao sect be bright?

Not to mention that all the disciples were gearing up under the ring and eager to try. Zhang Chengyue on the stage took out a piece of paper from his arms and said with a smile: "First of all, congratulations to the seventeen disciples of Young Eagle Hall disciple Bu Yi who won the first level. They were able to successfully pass the appraisal of the Buyi Level 1. Today is the challenge to the Buyi Level 2. We hope they can achieve a result that excites us. In advance, we have selected seventeen disciples from the Buyi Level 2. Arena No. 5, go to various arenas in the order I read the number plates and prepare for today's competition."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Chengyue raised the paper in his hand and read: "No. 1, No. 5, No. 12, No. 31,

In Arena No. 1, No. 2, No. 6, No. 28 and No. 33 are in Arena No. 2. No. 3, No. 8 and No. 49 are in Arena No. 3. No. 57, No. 59, "After reading this, he paused, frowned slightly, and seemed a little hesitant. However, he continued to read: "There is still number 250, in the fifth arena. "

As soon as Zhang Chengyue finished speaking, there was a commotion in the square. The disciples in the square were all promoted from the first level of commoner. They did not participate in the third level of the martial arts competition once or twice. Many older disciples participated. Having participated in more than ten sessions, they naturally know that the contestants in this third level are all elites of the first level of commoners. Moreover, the number plates are issued based on the results of the first level competition. They have never exceeded Disciple No. 100 is entering the third level. Even those other than No. 50 are very few. But now I heard Zhang Chengyue read to No. 250. I have some idea of ​​the number of disciples in Young Eagle Hall this year. Everyone knows in their hearts that number 250 is probably the last one to pass the first level.

It is probably almost impossible for such a disciple to enter the third level.

So everyone inevitably started talking.

When Zhang Chengyue saw the disciples reacting like this, his brows furrowed even deeper. He looked at the paper in his hand again to confirm that he had read it correctly. Then he let out a soft "hum". The sound resounded throughout the audience, as if it was hitting everyone's ears. There was a thunder, and the whole square immediately fell silent.

Zhang Chengyue continued: "The rules of the challenge competition are still the same as before. If there is a draw within three sticks of incense, the challenger will win. The list of Buyi First Level has been announced here. The list of other levels will wait until the Buyi First Level Competition is completed. Announcement. Next, invite the contestants to the stage.”

After saying that, Zhang Chengyue stepped down from the stage and walked towards the reed tent, followed by five older disciples who also jumped onto the stage with graceful figures. They must be the second-level disciples waiting for challenge.

Originally, Arena No. 1 was reserved for the most outstanding disciples who won the second level. The competitions in this arena were always the most exciting. It was always crowded with people on weekdays. But now, many disciples are rushing to Arena No. 5, wanting to take a look. The true face of contestant No. 250, this arena was empty today.

Seeing all the disciples walking towards the No. 5 arena, Zhang Xiaohua still didn't know what they meant. This guy didn't have any thoughts of success, he just curled his lips. He wasn't watching a monkey show, why was he so curious? .

However, after listening to the rules of the challenge, Zhang Xiaohua still knew what was going on. Nonsense, the results of the nine battles in the first level were all draws. After all, he had some experience in fighting draws. If it was the third level, he would still use Beidou God. With the guerrilla tactics of fists and ethereal steps, this draw was not 90% certain. Thinking that he was going to pass the third level again, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but smile.

There is really a lot of farce in this world.

He Tianshu and Zhang Xiaohu also looked at each other with smiles in their eyes. They were also confident in Zhang Xiaohua's draw.

The pace of Zhang Xiaohua and the other three people was still a little slow. When they wanted to move, a lot of people had already surrounded the five arenas in the square, and there were already five first-level disciples of commoners floating up. To say that this Piaomiao Sect is really worthy of the word "Piaomiao", each disciple's Qinggong is very powerful. Not only the two disciples competing on the stage, but also the disciples watching the battle have already occupied an advantageous position. terrain.

Zhang Xiaohua and others had no choice but to weigh their feet and get in at the back.

At this time, the five pairs of disciples on the stage were already fighting together.

The five fresh first-level disciples of Buyi who challenged them, although they have just advanced, are still the most powerful people among a hundred. The five second-level Buyi disciples who accepted the challenge were specially selected by Zhang Chengyue and the others. They are not top disciples, but only represent the commoners. The average strength of the second level, so except for the disciple No. 57 in the fifth arena who gradually fell behind, the other four arenas were still evenly matched.

Looking at the disciples who had passed the test with him on the ring, fighting with their opponents with real swords and guns, without any clever tactics, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but think of two words from the bottom of her heart: "Vigorous!".

At the same time, Zhang Xiaohua looked at the fifth ring near him. Although he saw the competition without suspense in the ring, he still did not want to leave. There were many disciples who were looking forward to the third competition. He was also wondering whether he was in the ring or not. Guerrilla tactics were also adopted, and for the first time there was hesitation.

If we talk about my true level, I am probably not as good as this second-level commoner. After all, his internal strength has been practiced for more than a year compared to the first-level, and the use of skills has doubled. I can at most resist two sticks of incense. If there are too many, you will have to use all your strength, and there is no guarantee that you will not be kicked off the ring; but if you use the Misty Step, you can only wander blindly. When the time comes, you can win in a draw, but the level of martial arts in the competition is not even a little bit worse. Son, even compared to the commoner first-level disciples who are currently at a disadvantage in the arena, they are still inferior. I'm sure he will be scorned by the disciples watching the battle in the audience. If this is the case, do I still want to enter the gate of Piaomiao Villa in the future?

To fight or not to fight, to lose or to draw, that is all a question.

The time for three sticks of incense came quickly. Except for the fifth stage, where the disciples of the first level Buyi failed the challenge, the disciples in the other four stages all won or tied, and directly qualified for the second level Buyi.

Let’s not talk about the disciples under the ring, who were pointing and criticizing. Even the senior officials under the reed tent were pointing at the disciples above the ring, whispering to each other and commenting endlessly.

The reed mat shed is right in front of the door of the meeting hall, next to the steps, and located higher than the end of the ring, so that you can clearly see all the competitions on the five rings. Ou Peng, Shui Yupeng, Aunt Qin and others all smiled and nodded frequently when they saw that the young disciple was so energetic and had good grades. Piaomiao Six Tigers and others, as well as the master of Shenji Hall Waiting for others, they would lower their heads to the disciples below and say something from time to time. They must have taken a fancy to the qualifications of these young people and wanted to be included in the hall.

The first round of challenges is over, and the second round begins. The situation in the five arenas is basically similar to the previous round. Except for the fifth arena, the other challenging players are at an advantage. Think about it, the players who are challenging now They are all ranked high. If they cannot defeat them, it would be unreasonable. It is estimated that the players behind may be a little suspense.

While everyone was thinking about it, the time for three sticks of incense had come, and Contestant No. 59 on the fifth stage was defeated. At this time, all the disciples in front of the fifth arena gradually lost their curiosity. All the contestants in the fifties were defeated. No matter how fierce the contestants in the number 250 were, they would probably not be able to compete with the contestants in the fifties. Contestant, even if he is lucky enough to enter the third level, if he can't provide you with any surprises, what are you still watching? However, since everyone has missed the exciting duels in other arenas, there is still a competition in the No. 5 arena, so everyone just watched it to see what kind of three-headed and six-armed No. 250 is.

On the fifth stage, the second-level disciples waiting for the challenge have already jumped onto the stage. Zhang Xiaohua, who is good at No. 250, and Zhang Xiaohu, who is carrying the escalator, are squeezing through the crowd, overcoming all difficulties, and walking towards the stage. , at this time, a disciple rushed into the reed shed like flying, walked up to Zhang Chengyue, lowered his head and said something.

After hearing this, Zhang Chengyue's expression changed drastically, and with a gloomy face, he waved his hand and let the disciple go. He thought for a moment, then walked quickly to Ou Peng, put his ear in his ear, and whispered a few words. Ou Peng also had a gloomy look on his face, and then returned to normal, but frowned deeply, and then, Give Zhang Chengyue a few instructions.

Zhang Chengyue nodded, quickly walked out of the reed mat shed, jumped onto the No. 1 arena, and raised his voice and said: "Disciples, our Piao Miao sect has guests coming from afar. Let's come here first for this martial arts competition. After seeing off the guests, we will continue the competition. .”

In the five stages, except for Zhang Xiaohua who had not yet entered the stage, the other four people had just jumped on the stage and had to jump down again. Zhang Xiaohua was squeezing forward. When he stopped talking, he also stopped and said to Zhang Xiaohu with a smile. : "Go back, second brother. Fortunately, you told me early. If you wait until I'm halfway up to climb, wouldn't it cost me more energy?"

At this time, Zhang Chengyue raised his hand and made a gesture to somewhere, and heard nine bells ringing in succession. It was the bell of the Piao Miao Sect to welcome distinguished guests. The disciples in the square had also been trained for a long time, and they all stood in a polite manner. On the side, there is an avenue leading directly from the meeting hall to the outside.

In the reed tent, Ou Peng heard the bells ringing, so he stood up, looked around, and walked out first. Others followed, and walked out of the square along the avenue left by the disciples.

Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu had never seen such a formation before. They didn't know where to put their hands and feet. It happened that He Tianshu had been following behind them, reaching out to hold them and standing upright among a group of disciples. They were not tall and their positions were It's not in the middle either. It's naturally unobtrusive and no one can see anything wrong with it.

When Ou Peng and others left the square, all the disciples were still standing with their arms folded and showed no sign of leaving. Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Captain He, what's going on?"

He Tianshu looked around and whispered in his ear: "It is estimated that someone from other sects in the world came to visit. These nine bells are of extremely high-end specifications. They must be from super big sects, such as Dalin Temple, Chuanxiang Sect or Zhengdao." People from the alliance are here, or maybe Wan Jianfeng and other gang leaders are here."

Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously: "Is it their gang leader who is here?"

He Tianshu shook his head and said, "I guess not. If their gang leader comes, the bells will ring not just nine, but eighteen, which is the highest standard for our Miao Miao Sect to welcome guests."

Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously: "Why does the specification of welcoming guests have anything to do with the sound of the bell?"

He Tianshu smiled bitterly and said: "These rules have been passed down from a long time ago. I don't know what the specific meaning is. I just know that if the top figures of the top gangs use eighteen bells, the highest standard, with us The top figures of the Piao Miao sect who are comparable in strength use nine bells, while visitors from ordinary gangs ring with six or three bells. When other low-ranking figures come to visit, they do not use bells."

Zhang Xiaohua nodded, seeming to understand a little, and said: "In short, the bells are used to distinguish the identities of the visitors and show respect. But why not ten or twenty bells?"

He Tianshu said: "Didn't I tell you? This is a rule passed down from the past. I don't know why the bells are used and why they are nine instead of ten. Besides..."

Having said this, He Tianshu paused for a moment, looked a little hesitant, and said: "During the martial arts competition of our Miao Miao Sect, guests are welcome behind closed doors and do not receive any visitors. This rule is well known in the world, but what happened today?" Are there distinguished guests visiting? Does it have any other meaning?"

Zhang Xiaohua said in surprise: "Really, Captain He, no one has ever come to your door before?"

He Tianshu nodded and said: "Yes, in my impression, no one has ever come to visit me. I also saw in some gang books that a long time ago there were some people in the world who were proud of their talents and wanted to use their knowledge to make money. The sect used it as a springboard to stand out in the martial arts competition to attract the attention of people in the world. During the martial arts competition, they came to visit our Piaomiao sect. However, they did not enter the gate of the Piaomiao Villa. They were beaten to pieces and went back directly. Where? Is there a mountain gate that can be entered?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Maybe the leaders of other gangs came here to watch the competition on a whim."

He Tianshu still shook his head and said: "The Piao Miao Faction's martial arts competition is an internal competition, and it is a competition that shows the strength of the gang. How can the secrets of this sect be seen by other sects? Moreover, we, the Piaomiao Faction, were not seen during the martial arts competition. Everyone in the world knows the rules of being a guest, and the leading figures of other sects will not do such stupid things."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu on the side intervened: "Since the nine bells are ringing, Gang Leader Ou went out to greet us in person. He must be an extremely important person in the world. Such a person will definitely not interfere with us without reason. A martial arts competition, I think there must be something in it."

He Tianshu also nodded with the same feeling.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the empty road and said: "Forget it, the ancients said: It's a blessing, not a disaster, it's a disaster that cannot be avoided. What is supposed to come will always come. When they come here, let's take a look first and then talk. ”ps: Can anyone guess who it is? Post a post in the comment area and be rewarded with 15 book rating points.
