young master in arms

Almost all the people of Chaozhou gathered at the competition stage set up in Chaozhou Neiting Street. Disciples and leaders of various sects can be seen everywhere around, and there is even the Governor's Mansion guarding all the main roads. First, to prevent thieves from destroying the competition environment. Second, To protect the people.

There are many sects participating in the competition, and even people from the Devil's Cult participated in it. Although the righteous and demonic forces are irreconcilable, they have to form an alliance temporarily to resist the Mongolian army. It is not the hatred of the present generation, but the "Tao" of the two forces is different.

The "Discussion of Swords" conference was held by the Military Governor's Mansion with full authority, so it was presided over by Wen Tianxiang of the Military Governor's Mansion, and the leaders of each Xie sect supervised the battle. It must also be a wonderful martial arts prosperity.

Holding this martial arts competition is by no means an empty blood test. Wen Tianxiang received news yesterday that Zhang Hongzheng and his [-] soldiers intend to attack Lijiang Pu. The army had already arrived at Lijiang Pu, and immediately asked Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu to send generals to protect the various waterways in Yashan. Wen Tianxiang sent an order to ask for help, but he was sent away with the answer "the prime minister can retreat the enemy himself".

"Hey, with our hundreds of thousands of troops in the Great Song Dynasty, we are not afraid of Mongolian iron cavalry at all, but the ministers in the court have their own ghosts, and the empress dowager's wife can't understand the situation of the battle."

Therefore, he was eager to find someone who could lead the army, and went to Lijiangpu to resist the Yuan army's offensive. Even if he could not defend it, it was very important to delay the deployment of the troops in the Nanling area.That's why Wen Tianxiang ordered people to spread the news overnight, and in the afternoon of the second day, there will be a martial arts contest called "Lunjian", which is actually a selection of soldiers to protect the century-old majesty of the Song Dynasty and fight to the death with the Yuan army.

As soon as the response came out, in less than half a day, experts gathered and divided into [-] arenas to decide the winner and then compete.

Countless people from all walks of life heard that Emperor Bing had gone south into Yashan, and that Prime Minister Wen Tianxiang was stationed in the Nanling area, and they all spontaneously organized to come. It was considered a huge crowd. Wen Tianxiang's call was a collective response, and the competition did not require too much preparation.

In the first group, Nangong Yu, a third-generation disciple of the Wudang Sword Sect, faced off against Hua Nongying, a disciple of Xuanyi's sect.

Wen Tianxiang first introduced each other, and then reiterated that the martial arts contest was "to the end", then stepped down and sat next to the major masters. Although he looked at the martial arts stage, his thoughts were not here. , although the treacherous ministers are in power, Baixin is united as one, so it may be able to resist the Mongolian army, regain its momentum in the future, and regain the mountains and rivers!

Still thinking about it, the winner was already decided in the field. Nangong Yu's move of the three rings and the moon was exquisite, and Hua Nongying was in a mess. The last move was the return of ten thousand swords. Even Xuan Yixin couldn't resist it. , so Hua Nongying was defeated.

In the second group of duels, Xiao Ran faced Situ Yue, the apprentice of the Tiancan old man known as the "Tiancan leg" in the Demon Cult. The two first saluted and then launched an offensive.

Although Xiao Ran's swordsmanship was taken from the battlefield, it was strong and powerful, and practice made perfect. After dozens of moves, Situ Yue was almost powerless to fight back. No matter how great the broken foot is, he was forced to be in a mess.

Wen Tianxiang smiled gratifiedly, and he seemed to be talking to himself: "This trick of recruiting soldiers on the battlefield is really wonderful."

The head of Wudang on the side was a little sarcastic: "This person's move is an attack to kill the enemy on the battlefield. There is no routine, so why don't you pretend to understand."

Wen Tianxiang didn't refute, he didn't want the deputy general beside him to speak for him, he said to Daoxuanzi: "Master Dao, Xiao Ran is a vanguard in our Great Song Dynasty. , although his swordsmanship is taken from the battlefield, but its secrets are related to various swordsmanship, what Prime Minister Wen said about "ordering troops on the battlefield" is also a routine in Xiao Ran's swordsmanship at this time."

Dao Xuanzi didn't talk much anymore, it's not that he didn't see Xiao Ran's tricks, but he just wanted to laugh at his decades-old opponent.

Master Xuanyi at the side recited "Amitabha" and said: "Although General Xiao's sword technique is practical and exquisite, it is the sword that kills the enemy among thousands of armies. Although it can force the sky to be unable to fight back, if the next If you face a master sword wielder, it will show its disadvantages."

The others folded their palms together towards Xuan: "What the master said is absolutely true."

The competition in the 16 arenas ended after dozens of rounds. A total of [-] people stood out and entered the next round of competition. At that time, there will be a battle of wheels. The two who draw lots first will go on stage, and the winner will compete with the next opponent. , the player who defeats the opponent three times in a row can rest until the winner is determined.

Zhuangzi has a saying: Use your heart like a mirror, if you don’t follow it, you won’t go against it, if you respond, you don’t hide it, so you can overcome things without hurting them.

It also says: Those who are materialized are also those who are not transformed.Or it can be said: The relationship between relationships and things is forgotten, and they are all the same.

Wudang swordsmanship seeks the way of swordsmanship, Taoists, naturally, assimilate with all things in the world, that is, they are born to seek their edge, the former masters have cultivated the way of swordsmanship to the limit, and the swordsmanship of three talents in one hand is like a huge wave. It's amazing that he realized Zhuangzi's philosophy of "self-transformation and then swim freely", and he created a branch of his own, dividing Wudang into two schools of Jianzong and Qizong, which are magnificent in the world.

Xiao Ran calmed down at this moment, he could not break through in the Wudang aura.It is already the third round, if he wins, he can enter the competition for the spot. Although he has rich experience and calm swordsmanship, it is a move to kill the enemy on the battlefield. Compared with Wudang's flowing swordsmanship, it is far behind. The eyes are lucky, and the whole body is infuriating.

Wudang gas door is derived from the theory of vitality of Cao Pi, the son of Cao Mengde in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, using Qi as a metaphor for people, and Qi controls things, reaching the supreme way.If he breaks it by force, he will definitely suffer from backlash. Xiao Ran hugged the Lingtai firmly and guarded the origin, unexpectedly he had a bit of a master's demeanor.

Wen Tianxiang on the seat said: "General Xiao holds his Yuan and guards one, and waits intently. He seems not to be afraid of the aura around him. On the other hand, Wudang Nangongao is domineering but inexperienced. If he stabs with a sword at this time, he will use his aura to attack If you want to be eye-catching, you can defeat your opponent, but why hasn't he attacked?"

The head of the Emei sect also had doubts, she said: "Wudang swordsmanship is the best in the world, but because of the appearance of the Xuanyi sect hundreds of years ago, it was slightly suppressed, and now the Qimen swordsmanship has lost its previous sum. Although the moves are stronger now, But the caster must be mentally weak, unable to accurately use the swordsmanship and observe the enemy's flaws. Now General Xiao is holding his own, and there is no flaw in his body. Over time, Nangong Ao's true energy will be exhausted and he will turn to attack. At that time This is his chance."

Swordsmen not only pay attention to routines, but also talk about patience. Only those who persevere can break the world with one sword, and enjoy the world.

The aura around the body of a master of Wudang style is extremely dazzling, forcing Xiao Ran to be unable to get close to him no matter what, a stab of a sword can't even penetrate the true energy around the opponent.

"Sure enough, General Xiao's external strength is so good that his steps are steady, but his internal strength is too far behind. Now that the Wudang style is extremely advanced in internal strength, how can an iron sword pass through the city wall?" The deputy general couldn't help but feel a little worried. "Horse swordsmanship" meant to make friends, he loves swords obsessively, most of the swordsmanship in today's world is well understood, just now he was a little excited when he saw Xiao Ran's own swordsmanship, now seeing that Xiao Ran has nothing to do, he couldn't help but feel worried.

However, when everyone thought that Xiao Ran would lose, but seeing Xiao Ran's iron sword raised above his head, he dodged a wave of sword energy, and shouted again: "Cloud piercing!" He turned around like a gun.

Cloud piercing is a term for spear soldiers, who can hit the enemy hard with the rotating spear head. At this moment, Xiao Ran uses the sword to carry the spear, and uses the body instead of the pole. opponent's neck.

The audience shouted, although Xiao Ran is over thirty years old, he is a good boy in the hearts of the girls of the Wan family. Just now seeing that he was going to lose, everyone was terrified and dared not look at it again. At this time, he integrated the sword technique into the spear technique, and the opponent was caught off guard. , really elated, very happy.

Even the witnesses on the stage showed some smiles. Since ancient times, the sword is soft and the spear must be strong. Now someone has fused the sword and the spear together. He is really a genius in the world.

Grandmaster Xuan Yi clasped his hands together and said, "The general is wonderful!"

Wen Tianxiang was also excited and said: "It is really an eye-opener for someone to fuse a sword and a gun, it's an eye-opener!"

The game ended in the afternoon, and the result was already reached. Xiao Ran, the vanguard of the Governor's Mansion, was appointed as a general, and he led 1 people to rush to Lijiang Pu for rescue. Normally, some people would not accept it, but at this critical juncture, Lijiang Pu is the key to the Nanling line. If it is breached by the enemy, then Chaozhou has almost no barriers, and the Yuan army can easily attack. If Chaozhou is breached, Yashan will undoubtedly open the door for the enemy to break in.

Although they lost the contest, all the chivalrous men were still enthusiastic and threatened to go to Lijiang Pu with General Xiao to rescue them. The heads of the various sects also wanted to do something for the people of the world, so they each sent more than 20 people with the army to rescue them. Such a group of people went to Lijiang Pu in a mighty way.

Xiao Ran led 2 people along the waterway and arrived in Lijiang Pu in less than half a day. The eyes were full of barrenness. The right prime minister Zhang Shijie ordered Lijiang Pu to confront the Yuan army head-on. The loss was heavy. The Yuan army had surrounded Lijiang Pu. There is an exit, but the rest are blocked, and it seems that it can be breached within a day.

Xiao Ran rushed into the city immediately, he first called a soldier to report, and within a moment, another large group of troops went out of the city to fight again, he was curious why he was so pelting a stone with an egg, and the soldier beside him said: "The general doesn't know something, this time The people who led the army first sent people to sneak into the city to kill the city lord, and then set fire to the granary, so our army fought for days, and more than half of the [-] soldiers have been lost. If this continues, the army will definitely be defeated."

Xiao Ran thanked the soldiers, and he didn't want to enter the city lord's mansion, because he knew that this was the critical moment for the Yuan army to break through the city, and it was inconvenient to entangle with the people guarding Lijiang Pu, Prime Minister Zhang Shijie. There is an open space, and the Yuan army is entrenched all around. At this moment, Lijiang Pu is like a dead end.
