one glance

In the next three days, apart from the seven major sects and eight major families in the Jianghu, the masters of the aristocratic families, and all the eccentrics of the rivers and lakes have already made their appearances in the arena.All sorts of strange martial arts methods and unique martial arts skills are competing to be the first to appear on the stage. It can be seen that the Jianghu disciples in Luoyang are dazzled and hooked.

Gu Nianfeng didn't deliberately look for Zheng Dongting, but stayed alone for three days after explaining to the Tianshan disciples.

From the fifth day onwards, experts from each of the seven factions and eight great families will appear on the stage, including Gu Nianfeng.

The atmosphere in Nanshi today is completely different from the past.Six hundred street drums sounded, and the six streets in all directions of Nanshi City were densely packed with Jinwu Guards with full armor and full armor.These Jinwu Guards did not block the road, but lined up neatly on both sides of the street, watching the quacks galloping through the middle of the street.Right in front of each team of Jinwu Guards is a leader Yingwei who has a divine light in his eyes. He can tell at a glance that he has magical skills and can compete with martial arts masters.

The four shops in the central part of Nanshi City, which were the pillars of the arena, were densely packed with royal guards in black clothes and black armor. Hundreds of people from the Jianghu silently stopped and stood on the roof, forming a confrontation with the black armored guards on the ground.

"Mr. Geshu, this is the 12-year sword discussion conference in Jianghu. Nanshi is not a place for the emperor's family and relatives to miss. Please move back to the palace." Just when the two sides were deadlocked, a vigorous voice suddenly It sounded like a bell, and it was Zen Master Tianlong, the first head of Shaolin Arhat Hall, who spoke.

"Zen Master Tianlong, I haven't seen you for many years. How have you been?" The tight formation of the imperial guards suddenly split open, and the gate flag was opened wide. Among them, Shi Shiran came on horseback.

"Thank you, Lord Hou, for your concern. The little monk can still live on." Zen Master Tianlong nodded his head.

"Zen Master Tianlong, friends from all over the world, you are so powerful and lawless in the martial arts competition in Luoyang Nanshi, but it is quite difficult for me, Henan Yin." Ge Shuhou said with a serious face.

"My lord, I have always been used to being unrestrained in the rivers and lakes. It is the same in the rivers and lakes, and it is the same in the towns. The government will not provoke us, and we will not provoke the officials. This Luoyang competition is held every 12 years. , let's pat our butts and leave immediately. You don't need to worry too much." Zen Master Tianlong said in a deep voice.

"Haha, Zen Master Tianlong is still as refreshing and joyful as he was 20 years ago. After 20 years of unknowingly ups and downs in the officialdom, I really miss the days of walking the rivers and lakes in the past." Prince Geshu smiled and stroked his beard and sighed, as if he had infinite emotion .

"The shepherd boy wants to wear a military uniform, and the bearded officer wants to herd sheep. People can't have everything. You can only choose one of the rivers and lakes and temples." Zen Master Tianlong showed a sympathetic look in his eyes, slowed down his tone, and said lightly.

"Jianghu..." Lord Geshu's eyes darkened slightly, he sighed softly, and suddenly his face darkened, "No matter what, I am still the official of Luoyang, the general town, since you have come to my place, Follow my orders!"

"Master Hou, do you want to force us to be expelled? Do you still remember Henan Yin who wanted to expel us from Luoyang 24 years ago?" Murong Yan, the head of the Temple of Heaven, said coldly.

"That idiot." Marquis Geshu smiled slightly, "I'm ashamed, I lost my job and went home, and I'm afraid I'm still living in Yizhou for the elderly."

"I can let you Luoyang competition continue as usual, as long as you agree to one condition. The Jianghu Xia who won this year's Luoyang Sword Master, I am afraid that he will be wronged, and he will be my son-in-law and marry my beloved daughter." Ge Shuhui is his wife." Lord Ge Shu raised his voice with a smile.

His words immediately caused an uproar among all the people present.Lord Ge Shuhou has power over the court and the world, and he is the number one figure in the Tang court. If he can become his son-in-law, he will be able to enjoy the glory, wealth, high official and generous salary in his life.

"Wait a minute, we people in the Jianghu are used to being free and easy, but if you can't be an official, friends here may not be willing to marry." A voice suddenly rang out among the crowded Jianghu children.All the people present looked towards the place where the voice sounded, but they saw a dense crowd of human heads, and they couldn't tell who was speaking.

"Whoever says that the son-in-law I want to marry, whoever wins the first place, the little girl will go with him. Marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, everywhere, go with you." Master Geshu waved his hand openly and said with a smile .

"When we people from the Jianghu get married, we also need to talk about eye relationship. What does your girl look like? At least make a portrait for us to observe."

"It turns out that this brother wants to see the goods, daughter, come out and meet people." Master Ge Shu looked up to the sky and slapped haha, then waved his hand back.

The dense formation of the black-armored imperial guards started another wave, and the soldiers on tall horses reined in, giving way to a two-person-wide path.At this moment, all the people in the rivers and lakes present straightened their necks and looked towards the formation.

I saw a young girl with a silver fox fur cloak on her shoulders, an orange-red tight-fitting Hu suit, and a fox fur beard slanted sideways, riding a rouge horse, slowly walking out of the formation.

This young girl resembles a fairy from a famous painting, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and skin like snow. Her figure is petite and slim, with a barbarian temperament between her eyebrows and sharp-edged face.Her big nimble eyes scanned the heroic youth present without timidity, as if she was curiously guessing who her future husband-in-law was.

"How is it? If you have no objections, we can start the fight now!" Master Geshu shouted loudly, waking up a group of Jianghu children from their stupor.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Thousands of Jianghu disciples from all over Nanshi applauded loudly. These young talents have always boasted that they are romantic, how could they refuse to be rewarded with such a beautiful championship reward? Go to the ring and win the first place in one breath.

Zen Master Tianlong shook his head, gave a wry smile, and said, "Okay, according to Lord Hou, according to the new rules of this year's Luoyang competition, whoever wins the first place in sword theory must marry Ge Shuhui, the daughter of Master Ge Shu, who is Xiuwai Huizhong. As a Guests, Lord Hou and Ling Qianjin can watch here. Other people who have nothing to do with it, please leave."

"It's fair, that's it." Ge Shu Hou Ye jumped off his horse vigorously, turned around and issued a few simple orders. Turn around and stride away towards the outside of Nanshi.Then the Marquis of Geshu took his daughter's hand, and the father and daughter leaped high together and landed on the roof of the tallest restaurant in the south city center. The shelf of relatives.

At the same time, Mrs. Shenzhenwei strode to the center of Nanshi amidst the cheers of all the crowd, and stretched out the silkworm brocade in her hands. The colorful brocade immediately floated high into the air, and was grabbed by the warriors from all directions and unfolded vertically and horizontally.

"The arena is set!"

"Okay!" Amidst the shouts, the disciples from the seven major sects and the eight major aristocratic families, who had already been impatient, jumped onto the ring one after another.

The ring master, who had won three consecutive matches in the first four days, was kicked, kicked, and driven off the ring after masters from the seven major factions and eight aristocratic families swarmed up.The new round of three victorious masters were all occupied by the disciples of these famous families, leaving only one swordsman from Ailao Mountain in the south of Lingnan who still insisted on the position of the master.His name is Feng Kongji, a name full of loneliness.

In the past few days, there is only one outstanding character in Gu Nianfeng's eyes, Feng Kongji.

The Very Reluctant Sword of Ailao Mountain is one of the few fast swords in the world that can rival the Yeluo Xinghe Sword of Tianshan Mountain.

"Junior Brother Gu, where have you been these past few days? Why is there no one there?" Luo Qiutong saw Gu Nianfeng reappearing in front of Tianshan disciples, and his tone was a little excited.

Lian Qingyan could no longer participate in the Luoyang Discussion of Swords, so only Gu Nianfeng could justify the name of Yeluo Xinghejian.

"Be alone, just adjust your mentality." Gu Nianfeng gave a perfunctory answer casually.

Then he looked at Lian Qingyan and said calmly, "Junior Brother Lian, don't worry, I will definitely do my best."

God knows he wasn't going to play at all.

In the middle of the place where the disciples of Guanzhong gathered, Lian Qingyan sat cross-legged quietly on the ground, killing the six judges in the prestige hall, six long swords that were as bright as autumn water formed a six-petal flower shape around his elegant neck .

His hands were wearing blue shackles, shining in the night light.His eyes were as calm as water, and Luo Qiutong and other Tianshan disciples were quietly accompanying the most outstanding disciple of Tianshan at this moment.It turned out that none of the Guanzhong disciples who had been looking forward to Lunjian for 12 years wanted to guard Lian Qingyan, a serious offender in the dark inn, so everyone unanimously agreed to bring Lian Qingyan to the competition site, while watching the performance, While watching the prisoner, kill two birds with one stone.

Gu Nianfeng could find them at a glance without any effort.

"Senior Brother Gu, we must not let Gong Tianying succeed." Lian Qingyan's words were crisp and clear, full of determination.

Gu Nianfeng glanced at Zheng Dongting, who was also at the side, and replied, "Of course."

Zu Beiqiu never forgets Luo Qiutong, Zheng Dongting looks at this junior, so they temporarily live in Xianghong Courtyard in Tianshan like everyone else in Tianshan.

Zheng Dongting moved his eyes uncomfortably, avoiding Gu Nianfeng's eyes.

As soon as he saw Gu Nianfeng, he would unconsciously think of what Gu Nianfeng said that seemed to be bewitching that day.

He only has internal strength and lightness skills, and without them, he can no longer walk in the rivers and lakes.He will be completely useless.

But he can't forget!

"Your justice, you have to get it back yourself."

"Do you want to use a sword? You've almost forgotten the feeling of holding a sword, right? But will you really forget those sword moves that are engraved in your blood?"

……

The fierce competition was going on on the stage, but Zheng Dongting's mind was in a mess.

Until the end of today's game, he didn't recover.The battle on stage was exceptionally exciting, and cheers came from the crowd from time to time, but Zheng Dongting didn't notice it at all.

He didn't even remember how he got back.

Guanzhong swordsmanship, Ailaoshan swordsmanship, sunset swordsmanship, very reluctant to give up the sword, all kinds of swordsmanship that Zheng Dongting knew or didn't know followed one after another.Various figures appeared one by one, and they used different sword moves to fight against Zheng Dongting.

The exquisitely beautiful Jianhua drew a dreamlike light trail in front of his eyes, which made him confused and fascinated.Excitement, grievance, loss, gratification, and anticipation, all the emotions that I suppressed desperately on weekdays swept through every corner of Zheng Dongting's body like a mountain torrent.He was like a child who had waited all his life for the Lantern Festival, looking at the fireworks in the sky, so excited that he burst into tears.Choking with sobs, he frantically swung the long sword that came from nowhere in his hand, drawing bright rainbows of light in the silent night sky, blocking all the colorful and falling sword patterns in front of him.

The figures gradually dimmed.

"Don't go! Please don't go! I still haven't used two tricks, let me use them before you go, please!" Seeing the figures around him gradually disappearing, Zheng Dongting pleaded bitterly, but no one paid attention He, what should disappear, finally disappeared.

"I know this is a dream. Why don't you even let me dream for a little longer, I just want to use this trick..." Zheng Dongting shouted the name of this trick, but his voice could never reach theirs ear.So he kept screaming until he was exhausted.

"Scared!" Zheng Dongting suddenly sat up from the bed, panting violently.He felt as exhausted as if he had been through a big battle, and there was sticky sweat on his forehead.He blurred his face with his hands, and slowly raised his head, but the scene in front of him surprised him: Zu Beiqiu's bulging head was only a few inches away from him.

"Wow, Junior Brother, are you trying to scare me to death?" Zheng Dongting's eyes widened.

"You scared me to death, brother!" Zu Beiqiu widened his watery eyes, "You have been having nightmares, yelling in your dreams like you have gone crazy."

"Yelling, isn't it?" Zheng Dongting blushed, looked up again, and saw Luo Qiutong and other Tianshan disciples who were temporarily staying in the Xianghong Courtyard gathered outside his room door, looking at him curiously.

"You know I'm having a nightmare, why didn't you wake me up?" Zheng Dongting gave Zu Beiqiu a hard look, then he leaned into Zu Beiqiu's ear and asked softly, "What did I yell for?"

"You keep shouting: Heavenly stars, sea rain and wine." Zu Beiqiu thought for a while and said with confidence.

"Tian Xing Hai Yu mixed with wine,... Hey." Zheng Dongting showed a trace of depression on his face, sighed helplessly, and stretched out his hand to touch the side, trying to find the wine bought in the night, but only found an empty one. flagon.

"Tian Xing Hai Yu mixed with wine, and the Ailao swordsmanship that overcomes the wind and emptiness after one move is really amazing." With a smile on Gu Nianfeng's face, the Tianshan disciples around the door gave way one after another, Tianshan Yuxia floated into Zheng Dongting's room.Seeing his always elegant and handsome appearance, Zheng Dongting felt ashamed as always.

Gu Nianfeng sat casually on the head of the bed, and said with a low laugh, "You never forgot those moves."

Zheng Dongting smiled wryly, stroked his forehead and said, "It's just that I drank too much wine..."

He didn't seem to want to mention it.The tone is sad.

Gu Nianfeng actually went with him, and changed the subject right away: "Dong Ting, I came here to invite you to watch the competition with me. I wonder if you appreciate it?"

Zheng Dongting was taken aback: "Is it time to start the competition?"

"That's not it!" Zu Beiqiu on the side interrupted, "Senior brother, you slept from dawn to dusk."

As soon as his words fell, a burst of cheers rushed into the courtyard through the Xianghong Courtyard, indicating that the Luoyang competition had begun.

Zheng Dongting supported his bulging head, thinking about the gloomy and uncomfortable dream just now, he couldn't help but sighed dejectedly: "I'm sorry, I don't want to go today."

"What! Brother, didn't you say it's really wonderful..." Zu Beiqiu immediately cried out.

"Shut up, I know what I said! If you don't go, you don't go." At this point, Zheng Dongting lay down on the bed and covered his head with a pillow.

"Brother..." Zu Beiqiu wanted to speak, but Gu Nianfeng held his shoulders and waved him.

"You let him have a rest, I'll stay."

"Brother, I went with Qiu Tong and the others, and I will talk to you when I come back." Having said this, Zu Beiqiu also stood up and left excitedly.For a moment, only Zheng Dongting and Gu Nianfeng were left in the guest room.

Thousands of heroes outside the Xianghong Pavilion heard the noisy noise, Zheng Dongting couldn't help but remove the pillow covering his head, and listened silently, imagining that the heroes on the stage would come and go, swords and guns Fighting and fighting.

"The Guanzhong Sword Sect came on stage yesterday. Huanhua, Songshan, and Hainan should also come on stage. There are also Pengmen, Xiaoshi, Shaolin, Tianshan, and Yuenu Palace." Gu Nianfeng sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Zheng Dongting straight Narrate.

In front of Zheng Dongting's eyes, there were countless peerless young men in prime of life. Shaolin boxing, Pengmen sword, Xiaojia gun, Tianshan sword, and Yuenvgang were displayed with great power under their hands, making people dazzled.But the figures of these people gradually changed into himself. He imagined that he was performing these martial arts that he would never be able to use in his life, calling the wind and calling the rain, galloping across the ring, as if he had returned to his innocent and carefree youth.

"Haha, everyone laughed, I'm Xia Pengqi, from Pengmen, Qingzhou!" A loud and melodious rough voice suddenly passed through the noise of thousands of children from the rivers and lakes, and passed into Zheng Dongting's ears from outside.

"Peng Qi? That silly boy?" Zheng Dongting suddenly raised his head, stood up from the bed, and subconsciously walked towards the door, but stopped again at the door.

"Princess Geshu, you can see clearly. I am in good health, have no disabilities, and have a humorous personality. Not only are you strong in martial arts, but you are also good at cockfighting, polo, and Shuanglu. Marry me to guarantee that you will not be bored." .Peng's heart is like a freshly baked pancake, intact, and it's all dedicated to...you!" As soon as Peng Qi's words fell, Luoyang Leipan had turned into a sea of ​​jubilation, and the hoarse applause was like a sea tide. The applause reverberated together and turned into a rumbling spring thunder. Those young people watching the competition seemed to be fans who had been waiting all night and finally hoped for the big drama in their hearts.

Suave, bold and uninhibited, this is the life that Zheng Dongting has always dreamed of.

Zheng Dongting closed his eyes and held his forehead with his palms, barely suppressing the hangover headache and the unspeakable pain in his heart.He raised his head, sighed a long time, and said tiredly, "Why don't you go?"

"I plan to go on stage tomorrow." Gu Nianfeng raised his eyebrows and smiled, "And... I thought, you need me very much now."

Zheng Dongting stared blankly at Gu Nianfeng who was sitting by the bed, and approached him step by step.

Gentle and elegant, with a smile on his lips, even though his gentle eyes and slightly raised lips are cruel and indifferent, he still has the charm that makes people fall for him.

Zheng Dongting suddenly had a desperate urge.Before the brain thinks and judges, the body has already taken action.

He knelt and sat in front of Gu Nianfeng, wrapped his arms around Gu Nianfeng's neck, raised his head, and kissed those cold thin lips with a pious kiss, with hot determination, as if offering a sacrifice.

Gu Nianfeng's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't avoid the kiss.He accepted the innocent kiss without moving, his lips touching.

When Zheng Dongting backed away, Gu Nianfeng suddenly said, "You made a mistake."

He stretched out his hand, pressed the back of Zheng Dongting's head, pressed him to himself, lowered his head to hold his lips, and then gently wrapped around the tip of his tongue. The sudden response caught Zheng Dongting a little off guard, his mind went blank, and he just obeyed Close your eyes, just want to hug him instinctively, tighter, tighter.

When everything was over, a thunderous cheer came through the wall.Vaguely, he heard thousands of people screaming in unison: "Good skill!" !"

After the kiss was over, although he forgot everything for a short time, he was still reminded constantly.

"Dong Ting, you are not reconciled." Gu Nianfeng's words were gentle and tender, and he reminded him softly again, "It's not because of your brother...it's because you are really reconciled."

The Luoyang Rally held every 12 years seems to have made him more impulsive to relapse than the blood feud of his own brother.If he was facing Gong Tianying in the Luoyang ring at this moment, he could hardly tell whether he wanted to avenge his brother or find a reason for himself to use martial arts.

Zheng Dongting suddenly laughed bitterly at himself: "Yeah, the blood feud of a brother can't be a reason to break the precept, Zheng Dongting, Zheng Dongting, it turns out that you are still lucky, dreaming of being happy once, but not being punished. If I had known this before, then Why bother to become Mu Tianhou's apprentice. Everything is your own fault, and no one else can be blamed. You are destined to be a useless trash."

"...Do you still want to escape?" Gu Nianfeng's eyes were calm, as if the charming atmosphere between the two of them just now was just an illusion.

"Why? Gu Nianfeng, what do you... want to do? I can't compete with you. I know I'm just a joke in your eyes. I'm running away. I like you, but I dare not say it. I want to have a good time Use martial arts once, but I dare not do it. So what if I'm a coward?" Zheng Dongting's voice was full of tiredness, "Is it fun to play with me? If you love to play with me, I will play with you. Who told me to like it? You. But...you remind me time and time again, what exactly you want to do. Tell me, let me be tricked and be tricked."

These words are like broken jars.

Gu Nianfeng laughed softly, and said comfortably: "Very good. You admitted it."

He stood up, walked slowly towards the door, and said as he walked, "As long as you admit that you are not reconciled, that's enough."

As long as he admits it, Zheng Dongting can't escape.

Gu Nianfeng didn't know why he suddenly wanted to see Zheng Dongting's flamboyant appearance, just as Zheng Dongting pursued Gu Nianfeng's truth, Gu Nianfeng also became interested in investigating Zheng Dongting's truth.Zheng Dongting, who is blindly avoiding, is not real, but I believe that I will see it soon...

Zheng Dongting was stunned for a long time before muttering: "I obviously admitted another thing, why didn't you mention it?"

Unfortunately, at this time, Gu Nianfeng had already left.
