Piercing the Heart [Sword Three]

In fact, the martial arts conference has a lot in common with the sports games of later generations.

The main participants in the sports meeting are athletes, while the martial arts conference is the people in the world.

Others such as referees, support staff, coaches, etc. are all available, and the heads of various sects also sit in the auditorium, acting as a boss to support their disciples by the way.

It's just that it's different from the men's and women's groups in the sports meeting. The martial arts conference is a melee between men and women, a real fair competition, and there is only one event, which is pure fighting.

However, just as there are many restrictions for each event in the sports meeting, there are also martial arts conferences, that is, no poisoning, no sneak attack, no continued attack when the opponent loses combat effectiveness, and the most important point is that no one can be killed.

And once it happens, someone will definitely come out to practice the principle that one life is worth one life.

But everything is not absolute, and the judging criteria must be combined with specific circumstances.

Of course, sometimes political influences lead to frequent occurrences of black whistle. Generally, when this happens, everyone tends to stay calm on the surface and say nothing. After the end, they will settle the accounts. If they have gone too far, then it will be real Have a gun fight.

The martial arts conference is held every five years, and each time the sect is different, this time it is the turn of the Qishan sect.

As a second-rate sect in Jianghu, the Qishan sect has mixed feelings about the holding of the martial arts conference. The happy thing is that if it can be successfully held, the reputation of the Qishan sect will definitely be better, and it will be easier to recruit disciples at that time.

The worry is that the disciples of my generation don't seem to be very good at it, and I don't know if I can get a better ranking. At least I can make my host face a little bright, so that others won't think of the Qishan sect because the martial arts conference is going well , and nothing more.

As for the concerns of the Qishan faction, no one in Jianghu cared.

Anyway, the martial arts conference is not held at their home, they just need to be in charge of fighting, as for the rest, who cares!

Who doesn't want to be famous and famous!

……

I have to say that it is a bit naive to think that once you see the monument, you will reach your destination soon.

When Li Tang was helped out of the carriage by Qi Cheng, his face was pale beyond words.

"Do you feel better?" Qi Cheng patted Li Tang's back and asked worriedly.

Li Tang covered his mouth and waved his hands. Now he was afraid that he would spit it out if he opened his mouth.

A healthy person with only a little trauma was taken care of by a seriously ill patient with serious internal injuries. Now he has lost all face.

Who would have thought that I would get motion sickness due to being too excited during the last stretch of the road!

"Qi Guang, hurry up and get some candy." Seeing Li Tang leaning on the carriage and slapping his chest, Qi Cheng ordered while fanning himself.

Qi Guang is his personal servant.

"Yes." After Qi Guang answered respectfully, he quickly walked a few steps to get the candy.

"It's okay, there's no need." Li Tang said as he moved to Qi Cheng's side, "It's good if there's wind." Anyway, it's more comfortable.

"Would you like to go back to the carriage and lie down for a while?" Seeing that Li Tang's face didn't feel much better due to the wind, Qi Cheng suggested.

Li Tang quickly shook his head to express his refusal. For him who was dizzy and nauseous, the more he lay down, the more dizzy he would be.

"Is there a paper bag?" Li Tang asked weakly as he left Qi Cheng's side while leaning against the car wall.

So cool!

"There are some." After handing the water bottle and pine nut candies to Qi Cheng, Qi Guang took out a paper bag with great insight. Fortunately, he was careful, and took the paper bag along with the candy.

"Sorry, I'm sorry." After receiving the paper bag and water canister, Li Tang trotted straight to find a secluded place, and vomited it out heartily.

After the relaxation, the brain suddenly cleared up a lot.

Because they were in a hurry, their dinner was hastily settled, and Li Tang, who was thinking about giving Qi Chengjia a supper, naturally didn't eat much, so he was not very embarrassed at the moment.

"Tell me about you, you're off the hook!" After pointing at his own nose and cursing a few words, Li Tang rinsed his mouth and paid attention to himself before returning to the team pretending to be chic.

"Is it better?" Qi Cheng asked with concern.

"En." Li Tang responded, then looked at the people who were busy packing their luggage, and asked Qi Cheng, "Is there enough space for the Qishan School?" It seems that it is really not big enough.

With the experience of being a guest at Yu's house, Li Tang naturally knew that rooms are always in short supply at such times, and not everyone can live in the host's house.

Regardless of Qi Cheng, Bai Shuangming and others, there is no need to worry, the five aristocratic families still have a lot of face.

What he is most afraid of is that because of his lack of status, he has to find another place to live, which is really troublesome.

"Although I'm a little nervous, I should be able to stay here." Watching the Qishan faction take the horse away to rest, Qi Cheng said, "It's just that it may not be as independent as living in Louzhou Chengqing brother's family. I might have to trouble Shen Xing to live with me."

He said with a slightly apologetic smile.

"No, there's no trouble! When I was in Pingzhou, living with brother Qi was very pleasant, so it's nothing to me." Li Tang replied with a smile, he wished for living with Qi Cheng.

"The residences of the young masters have been arranged, and I will take everyone there." After checking the identities of everyone present, a disciple of the Qishan School walked up to everyone with a book and said.

"Okay, thank you." After thanking him, Qi Cheng simply put all the pine nut candies in Li Tang's hands, and then led everyone to go together.

It has to be said that Qi Cheng has a self-leading/sleeve temperament, and is born with a convincing charm.

Among them, Li Tang was alone and had nothing to worry about, while Qi Cheng had only Qi Guang as his servant, and most of the rest were from the Bai family.

Generally speaking, when a family travels with outsiders, everyone will habitually obey the prestige of the family, even with outsiders, but they are different, whether it is planning the route or staying and entertaining along the way, it is all arranged by Qi Cheng alone.

And everyone has long been accustomed to obey Qi Cheng's orders, arriving in harmony all the way.

Li Tang glanced at Bai Shuangming who was not far away. The reason why Qi Cheng became the leader of the team must have a lot to do with Bai Shuangming's cooperation!

As the second son of the Patriarch of the Bai family, Bai Shuangming's status is still very aloof, and his aloofness is not only because of his background, but also because of his swordsmanship. Although he has never seen Bai Shuangming fight, but I heard that his swordsmanship is outstanding. He is the best among his peers.

As for why such a powerful person is ranked second...

Of course it's because of his bad personality, and his internal strength is not as good as Qi Cheng's!

However, his bad personality is bad, but Bai Shuangming is not a difficult person to get along with. He is an existence that is difficult to be dominated by negative emotions. Li Tang has never seen Bai Shuangming express his unwillingness, jealousy, and desire for fame and fortune.

And what he showed was only his mysterious and mysterious super power-communicating with the sword.

"Are you going to shine your sword?" Seeing Li Tang looking at him, Bai Shuangming asked tentatively.

Li Tang immediately looked elsewhere.

The Qishan faction is dressed up festively, although it is not a festival, but along the way, there are lights and festoons everywhere, especially the martial arts arena, which is quite spectacular, the most obvious one is the tall martial arts competition Taiwan, I think this should be the venue for the finals.

The residences of the five great families are next to each other, and the Qishan sect is quite discerning, at least they won't do it. Arranging two sects that don't agree with each other close to each other is such an unpleasant thing for themselves and others.

Seeing Bai Shuangming and others move in, the Qishan disciple who led them wrote in the notebook for a while, then said to them, "Okay."

"I don't know what your name is?" Li Tang asked curiously.

Seeing that Li Tang didn't recognize him, the man seemed a little stunned, and then said, "I'm Li Jin."

Li Tang: ...

The flag was fulfilled too quickly, I didn't expect to meet the third disciple of the head of the Qishan School so soon, what a shame!

Sure enough, he should memorize the list for a while longer.

"So it's Senior Brother Li, I've admired him for a long time." Li Tang smiled awkwardly and said with cupped hands.

"Young Master Tang is polite." Li Jin also politely replied.

Li Jin didn't mind that Tang Chenxing didn't recognize him. Among his peers, although he was well-known, he was still far from outstanding. He knew it well, but he wasn't so narrow-minded.

What he cared about was another thing——Tang Chenxing used poison, which was why he didn't like Li Tang.

Li Tang touched his nose with a soft nail, and then concentrated on fighting with the remaining pine nut candies, all of which came from struggling in the society. Li Tang can still tell what impression others have of him as a whole.

"Here we are." Li Jin pointed to the courtyard and said, "This is where you live."

"Okay, thank you." After entering, Qi Cheng thanked with a smile.

"By the way, Senior Brother Qi, seniors and the others have already arrived and checked in." Li Jin added.

"That can't be better." Qi Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then said pleasantly, "When the arrangements for Shen Xing are settled, Qi will go to pay his respects to his father."

"It should be like this." Li Jin agreed, "Then I will take my leave, and don't disturb the reunion of Senior Brother Qi and his son."

"You can go see your father first." Seeing Li Jin leave, Li Tang said, although Qi Cheng was very surprised, but Li Tang still felt that he was not as happy as he showed.

"It's okay, I happened to be a guest at Qishan School before, so I know a little about the room, I'll take you to find the room first."

"I guess you don't need to look for it." Li Tang said embarrassingly pointing at the room next to Qi Cheng's room, "I live next door." He showed the house card in his hand. OK

He wanted to give Qishan School a thumbs up for their thoughtfulness.

Qi Cheng: ...

"Qi Guang, don't prepare motion sickness medicine and Huoxiang Zhengqi water for brother Chen Xing." Qi Cheng turned his head and told Qi Guang.

"Yes" Qi Guang shrank his neck and replied in a low voice, the leader laughed terribly.

"I don't know how to arrange it." Qi Cheng said, taking the luggage in Li Tang's hand and pushing open the door very naturally, "I hope it can meet Brother Tang's wishes."

"Actually, apart from being picky about my food, I'm still easy to talk about." Li Tang said in a low voice.

Of course, his voice was indeed low enough, at least no one could hear it, and Qi Cheng only saw his lips trembling a few times.

"It's not bad." After putting the luggage on the table, Qi Cheng lit the candle and said, "It's simple and elegant, very suitable for people who practice martial arts." He said and put the lampshade away.

"Indeed." Li Tang touched the mattress on the bed. Although it was not as soft as Yu's, it should be comfortable to lie on.

Of course, what Li Tang likes the most is the cloth pillow on the bed.

"Okay, go to bed quickly." Seeing that Li Tang was a little sleepy, Qi Cheng said with a smile.

"Huh?" Hearing the sensitive word, Li Tang was instantly shocked, and then looked at Qi Cheng in horror, should he speak so harshly?

"Is there something on my face?" Seeing Li Tang's frightened look, Qi Cheng asked after touching his face.

"It's nothing." Li Tang quickly shook his head, "Going to bed or something, it's too early."

Qi Cheng glanced at the night, and then said sternly, "It's really not too early, you have been tossing all the way, you should have a good rest." He walked to Li Tang's side, opened the quilt, "Lie down for a while, wait a while I will ask Qiguang to serve you to take supper and fall asleep."

"Okay" Li Tang obediently replied and lay down, letting Qi Cheng cover himself with the quilt, watching Qi Cheng tucked in the quilt with a serious face, Li Tang's eyelashes suddenly blinked a few times quickly.

It is said that looking at a beauty under the lamp, the more you look at it, the more blurred it becomes. Li Tang agrees with this very much today, but what he sees is not a beauty, but a handsome guy.

During the flickering of the candle shadow, Qi Cheng's face was somewhat blurred, but it did not affect Li Tang's joy at all. He also saw another kind of beauty today, hazy beauty.

"Okay." There was a hint of laziness in his voice unknowingly.

Qi Cheng's pupils shrank in an instant, and after his Adam's apple twitched up and down, he coughed sideways and said, "You should rest for a while, I'm going to visit my father."

"Bye" Li Tang covered his mouth and yawned, then closed his eyes with peace of mind, and seized all the time to catch up on sleep, which is one of his life creeds.

******

Living in the same courtyard, Qi Zhengxin would naturally know about any movement from Qi Cheng's side.

It's just that he chose to pretend not to know, and waited for Qi Cheng to arrive.

How can a father visit the Son of Man first? Where is the majesty of such a parent?

Fortunately, Qi Cheng didn't keep him waiting too long.

When he heard the familiar knock on the door, Qi Zhengxin also picked up his teacup and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

"Father" Qi Chengshui entered the room and cupped his hands, "My son, come to pay my respects to my father."

"Yeah." Qi Zhengxin, who wanted to hang on to Qi Cheng, said after drinking a few sips of tea, "Let's drink tea."

"Yes" Qi Cheng sat down on Qi Zhengxin's right hand in a dignified manner, and also picked up the teacup.

"I heard that you suffered a very serious internal injury, are you feeling better now?" Qi Zhengxin asked with concern after putting down the tea cup.

"There's nothing serious about it, I'm worried about my father."

"You child." Qi Zhengxin said worriedly, "You are too aggressive." He grabbed Qi Cheng's hand and began to feel his pulse.

"The injury is so serious, this time I will concentrate on self-cultivation, let's watch the martial arts conference together with my father." After the left and right hands took turns, Qi Zhengxin said, "Son, it's no wonder that my father stopped you from going on stage." He still has high expectations for this outstanding eldest son.

"How could it be?" Qi Cheng said with a light cough, "Everything the father does is for the benefit of the son, and the son understands."

"That's good, as expected of my son." Qi Zhengxin patted Qi Cheng's shoulder with a smile and said, "In a blink of an eye, he is so big."

"The tiger father has no dogs." Qi Cheng also laughed twice and said, "Time flies so fast."

"Yes." As if thinking of something, Qi Zhengxin's original smile was replaced by sadness, "Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, Yunniang has been gone for five years."

"Please mourn Father's Day, my aunt will definitely not be happy to see father so sad." Qi Cheng comforted quickly.

"Yes, yes." Qi Zhengxin wiped his eyes, nodded repeatedly and said, "She is such a laughing person, how could she want to see us so uncomfortable."

"By the way, did you bring back Yunniang's relics?" Qi Zhengxin asked with a little expectation, "It will be five years soon, if you bring it back, then let's burn it to Yunniang and let her You can bring your favorite hairpins with you.”

"Father" Qi Cheng dodged Qi Zhengxin's gaze, choked up and couldn't speak.

"My son is incompetent!" He knelt down straight, crying bitterly, "I could bring back the hairpin, but I didn't expect it to be snatched away by the owner of the Qianji Pavilion who suddenly appeared. I heard..."

"I heard that he has destroyed the hairpin and Mrs. Yan Shu together." Qi Cheng said through gritted teeth.

"Hey" Qi Zhengxin sighed, then helped Qi Cheng up and said, "It's not your fault, who would have thought that he would suddenly come out, what's wrong with you, don't torture yourself anymore." Take a picture of Qi Cheng's clothes.

"You did a good job. When you met him, you didn't even have the confidence to get out of your father." Qi Zhengxin comforted.

The original expectations were all in vain, and Qi Zhengxin couldn't tell what it was like. Disappointment, regret and other emotions were intertwined, making him just want to end this...

Just when the action was about to be put into practice, Qi Zhengxin suddenly shuddered, and then put away his crazy thoughts,

Forget it, it seems that I am doomed to have nothing to do with secret books, and I still have to rely on ancestral exercises.

only……

Relying on one's own skills is easy to say, but extremely difficult to do!

Qi Zhengxin's frown became deeper and deeper. The reason why he looked for it was to break through the bottleneck!

"Father?" Seeing Qi Zhengxin's changeable complexion, Qi Cheng asked tentatively.

"Look at me..." After being interrupted by Qi Cheng's voice, Qi Zhengxin stroked his beard and said with a kind smile, "I forgot that you were injured, and it made you think of sad things all the time. It was my father's fault." .”

"After running around for a few days, you must be tired too. Go back and rest first, good boy."

"Yes..." Qi Cheng replied, "My son is leaving."

"By the way, Rong'er also came with his father, and he will probably go to your place later, so make sure to prepare the gift!"

"Then I'll go back to my room and wait for him." Thinking of that lively younger brother, Qi Cheng had no choice but to smile dotingly, and then left the door.

……

After sending off the reluctant Qi Rong, Qi Chengduan sat in front of the window and listened for a while before closing the window.

There was no sound in the next room at this time, Qi Cheng couldn't help laughing when he thought of the crisp sound of plates colliding just now, he wondered if such a picky person would adapt to the food of Qishan School.

After picking up the pen and writing in ink, Qi Cheng looked at the paper with Hua Gaiyun's birth date written on it, and nodded in satisfaction.

After taking out the hairpin, Qi Cheng carefully wrapped it with a handkerchief, and then exercised his strength, the hairpin instantly changed completely.

After looking at the "wreckage", Qi Cheng nodded with satisfaction, but now no one can recognize them.

This time, he poured the "wreckage" onto the paper, and then lightly threw it into the lamp.

After a while of crackling, everything was silent again.

Qi Cheng looked at the lampshade tenderly, and said softly, "Although I didn't burn it to you on the fifth anniversary, you should be happy to receive it earlier, right?"

"As for his disappointed eyes, it's my second gift to you, mother."
