Wulin martial arts hegemony record

Chapter 258 Xue Chang's Opponent

"Master, don't worry, I will bring my juniors and sisters back safely!" Xu Xi replied in a deep voice.

Xue Chang stared at his eldest disciple, but his immature face revealed a calm and confident temperament, he looked like a little adult, which really surprised people.From accepting him as an apprentice to now, the tasks entrusted to him can always be completed satisfactorily, so Xue Chang is also very relieved of him, patted his shoulder vigorously, and said concisely: "Okay, get in the car!"

The apprentices said goodbye to Xue Chang one by one, and got into the carriage.

The Goddess Palace disciples led by Zhou Wanyao and Yan Ranling had already boarded another carriage and were ready to go. There were eight of them in total, so I prepared an extra carriage.

Xue Chang stood in front of the door, watching the three carriages slowly go away, and Gu Shijing's impatient voice came from next to his ears: "Hurry up and get in the carriage, we should go."

Only then did Xue Chang turn around, and smiled self-deprecatingly in his heart: how similar he is to the parents who sent their children to the college entrance examination in the previous life!

Sitting in the carriage, the two had nothing to say all the way.

The carriage was stopped when it was about to arrive near the imperial palace. The forbidden army set up a road card here, prohibiting anyone from passing. The military officials led the two to the competition venue.

The venue is located at the main entrance of the Imperial Palace - the Palace Square in front of Pyeongchang Gate. This is the place where the court used to hold major celebrations. Its vast area is more than enough to hold martial arts conferences.

At this moment, thousands of Imperial Guard soldiers had already surrounded part of the square in front of Pingchang City Gate, during which thirty square wooden platforms were erected, lined up as far as possible along the gate tower.In front of the Pingchang Gate, hundreds of people in different clothes gathered. They are the candidates sent by various factions of the martial arts to participate in individual martial arts competitions.

The notice issued by the General Tour Martial Arts Division to each faction did not limit the number of people. It is reasonable for each faction to send more than one player. However, the notice also mentioned that Emperor Taixiang attached great importance to this martial arts conference, which is different from previous regions. After the Martial Arts Tournament and the Law Conference held by the imperial court, all sects will be ranked according to the results of the martial arts contest, and the ranking will determine how much the imperial court attaches importance to it.

Since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the martial arts sects in each region have been ranked in the patrol divisions of the region according to the performance of each martial arts competition, but there is no similar martial arts competition in the whole country.As for individuals, the law conference is just to select the top masters. Of course, according to the performance of each martial artist in the law conference, the chief inspector and dragon guard are ranked in private, but they are never made public. The Emperor Zu knew that martial arts people valued fame and wealth, so they did so on purpose in order to prevent them from tearing their faces, causing hatred and disrupting the stability of the martial arts order.However, the changes in the situation in Beiyan and the results of the exchange of young martial arts people from the two countries last year led Taixiang Emperor to decide to adopt such a ranking method to change the current situation where the martial arts of the Great Zhou Dynasty is content with the status quo and encourage the martial arts people to be brave and enterprising.

The announcement of the Chief Tourist Martial Arts Division obviously attracted the attention of all sects. In order to ensure good rankings in martial arts competitions and individual martial arts competitions, each sect only sent one person with the best martial arts to participate in the individual martial arts competition. Even the most powerful Shaolin in this way.

Some of the contestants who participated in the individual competition were the heads of the sect. They still remembered what happened at the banquet last night, so they naturally looked at Xue Chang's arrival with strange eyes.

Xue Chang didn't realize it, and bowed his hands to a person in the crowd: "Brother Guo, I didn't expect you to participate in the martial arts competition here."

"I can't help it. Old Han Fei asked me to make up the numbers." Guo Huaishou smiled freely and gave a thumbs up: "Brother Xue, you are amazing. I heard what happened last night from Old Han."

Xue Chang smiled, walked towards another person, and bowed his hands respectfully: "Master, long time no see!"

"I haven't seen you in a few months. Master Xue has improved his martial arts again. Congratulations! But based on what you said at the banquet last night, you must be more careful in this martial arts conference!" Master Jingxin reminded with concern.

What she said was rather tactful, while Leng Yuntian of the Hanshan sect was more direct: "Master Xue, what you said last night is really unwise, it will only deepen the hostility of other sects towards you!"

Xue Chang has a good relationship with Hanshan School, Emei School, and Feiyu Gang, and has no contact with other schools in Bashu. Thinking about it, Taoist Master Lu Changcai of the Qingcheng School, Mrs. Qiu of Tang Men, Jiang Shenghuo of Meishan Village, Monk Yinkong of Tiefo Temple, and Li Shouyi of the Qingniu School... all gave Xue Chang a smile, and some even showed concern .

Although this is an arena for individual martial arts competitions, they are all from Bashu martial arts after all. Jiang Shijia once reminded them: the emperor not only depends on the performance of each sect and individual in the martial arts conference, but also depends on the overall strength of the martial arts in each region. This may determine the direction of the General Patrol Division's attention to various regions in the future.

Because of this, hundreds of martial arts masters stood in front of the city tower and gathered into twelve small groups according to their respective regions.

Xue Chang and Gu Shijing's late arrival had already attracted everyone's attention. After hearing his conversation with players from various factions of Bashu martial arts, it quickly caused a commotion among others: "It turns out that he was at the palace banquet last night. A lunatic who utters wild words! I didn't expect to be a brat!"

"Young people, you don't know the seriousness. After drinking a few glasses of wine, when you see the emperor, you get excited, and it is understandable to say those words that don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth."

"Understood ass, dare to say such a thing, treat us as nothing, then use your real skills to convince us, otherwise he will look good today!"

"That's right, I just want to be in a group with this brat, and I can compete with him today. I must beat him until I don't even know his mother, and I have to admit my mistake in public before I can spare him!"

The person who said this had a loud voice and his words were ugly. Xue Chang immediately turned his head to look, only to see that he was a big shirtless man with a rough appearance.

"Who is this?" Xue Chang asked softly.

"Niu Dingtian, the owner of Funiuzhai, is extremely good at practicing kung fu, especially the golden hood that he practiced is said to be based on Shaolin's Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Kung Fu, which is not an ordinary hard kung fu for body protection It can be compared." Madam Qiu said softly.

"Thank you for your reminder, ma'am."

"You and I are both members of Bashu Wulin. We should watch and help each other. You are welcome." Mrs. Qiu responded with a smile.

Niu Dingtian noticed that Xue Chang was looking at him, and immediately grinned and shouted: "I just said you, brat, dare to despise the heroes of the world, I want to see how capable you are when you are on the wooden platform!"

Xue Chang had already uttered big words last night, and he didn't want to say harsh words again today, so he took a look at Niu Dingtian, didn't bother to respond, and turned around directly.

Niu Dingtian shouted proudly: "See, this little brat is scared!"

There was a burst of laughter around.

Seeing this, Guo Huaishou patted Xue Chang's shoulder reassuringly, and said softly, "Brother Xue, the owner of Funiuzhai's cattle village is a well-known hunk in the rivers and lakes. You don't need to be as knowledgeable as him."

"I understand." Xue Chang nodded, and said in a deep voice: "So I don't want to use my mouth. If I really meet him on the wooden platform, I will use my hands to talk to him."

Hearing Xue Chang's indifferent words, Guo Huaishou couldn't help thinking of the pitted ground that Xue Chang hit with his palm on the ruins of the Jiangshen Temple that day, and couldn't help feeling sorry for Niu Dingtian.

At this time, an angry voice sounded from the gate tower: "Everyone in the martial arts, the martial arts conference will start soon. Before it starts, I will reiterate the rules of the competition. First, strictly obey the instructions of the officials in the field. If there is any violation, the qualification of the martial arts competition will be disqualified; secondly, if the opponent voluntarily admits defeat or is injured and falls to the ground during the martial arts competition, and can no longer fight, he should stop fighting immediately. Detention and interrogation, sentencing according to the seriousness of the circumstances; third, those who did not play, please sit in the prescribed area and do not move around..."

The speaker was a middle-aged dragon guard wearing a black robe. After emphasizing the rules of the martial arts competition, he said loudly: "Next, the dragon guards will make an announcement about the grouping situation and the order of the competition in the martial arts conference. Post it on the city wall, please watch it carefully, when the time comes, start the martial arts competition immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pingchang Gate opened, and a team of dragon guards in black came out holding red lists one by one, and pasted them on the walls on both sides of the gate.

Everyone rushed up immediately.

The sharp-eyed Xue Chang quickly found his name in the notice marked Group D.

Today, there are 110 seven martial arts sects in the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are 120 people participating in individual martial arts competitions. Of the three extra people, two are from Longwei and one is from Xunwusi. They can be divided into ten groups, and a group of 12 people. Tiangan is used as a group label, and individuals are marked with twelve earthly branches, and the principle of "try not to put players from the same region in the same group" should be respected.

However, although the Martial Arts Tournament Division and Longwei are in charge of the martial arts conference, they are not the ones who decide the grouping of martial arts competitions and individual martial arts competitions, but Tai Xiangdi, who is very energetic and interested in martial arts. Taking Cao Zhong and Xu Zhaoyan's suggestions as a reference, and also drawing on the experience of the previous imperial examinations, the announcement of the competition groups was posted before the competition, because they were worried that the various sects would make preparations after knowing it in advance, and secretly connect together, so that they could not completely Showing its true strength, it can be seen how much Taixiang Emperor attached importance to this martial arts conference.

Xue Chang carefully looked at the names of the contestants listed in the Shangding group announcement: Zi, Yang Yuanming of the Huashan School; Chou, Su Jiangquan of the Songshan School; Yin, Deng Fei of the Hengshan Sword School; Mao, Li Xingrong of the Luozhong Li Family; ; Ji, Xiaoyao faction Xue Chang; Wu, Wudu Sect Wuxian; Mo, Jinlong Gang Liao Zhanxin; Shen, Yandang faction Babuyun; You, Eagle Claw Gate Hao Lingzhi; Xu, Huangshan faction Zhang Ankun;
