different paths

"I'm ashamed to say it," said a young Shaolin disciple, rubbing his head embarrassedly. "Just now, Master Fayan and Master Yue had a hearty battle, and the poor monk was dazzled by it. But how did Master Yue win in the end? Stupid, really can't figure it out."

"That's right!" Monk Fa Yan also slapped his shiny forehead and said, "Junior Brother Yue, how did you break the vajra shield of the Sa family? It must not have been relying on those little wooden sticks!"

Yue Chentan shook his head slightly: "Brother, the vajra shield is as strong as it is rigid, and only the most soft and weak things can crack it."

Monk Fa Yan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he couldn't believe it: "Could it be that those few withered grasses broke the vajra cover of Sajia?!"

Yue Chentan nodded.

At this time, someone in the crowd praised with a smile: "Yue Shaoxia's act of subduing strength with softness is quite the essence of my Taoism. As the saying goes, 'There is nothing in the world that is weaker than water, and nothing can win against the strong. The weak overcomes the strong, the soft overcomes the strong, there is no one in the world who doesn't know, and can't do it.'Yue Shaoxia can know it and do it, and I really admire it, I admire it!" The speaker was Han Lingzi.

"The Taoist priest is too famous." Yue Chentan replied lightly.

His answer really confirmed Monk Fa Yan's conjecture.All the people present admired his quick response on the spot and his high understanding of martial arts, but the monk Fa Yan had a gloomy expression on his face. It was obvious that a few weeds had broken his magical body protection skills, which made him very annoyed.

"When it comes to martial arts, I'm no better than Senior Brother." Yue Chentan looked at Monk Fa Yan, "The victory this time was only due to a bit of opportunism. If Senior Brother was not negligent, but brushed away the weeds and won the victory It must be the senior brother. Besides, "the roots of the grass in the garden are shallow, and the good fortune is full of merit." I have plants and trees to rely on, and they are all the power of good fortune."

He attributed Monk Fayan's defeat to "negligence" rather than poor martial arts, which really made Monk Fayan feel a lot more comfortable, and also made everyone present appreciate him a little bit more.

"The grass in the garden is shallow, and the good fortune is perfect..." Monk Fayan murmured several times and then laughed.That gloomy air is like the wind, it comes and goes quickly.He quickly acted as if nothing had happened, and shouted to everyone in a good mood: "The Sa family had a good time fighting this time. You are all famous figures in the Jianghu. Why hide it and come out to show your hand, so as to let everyone Satisfy your eyes."

"Watching the mage's battle just now made me emotionally excited, and we are courteous, and our Wudang sect will naturally not disappoint the mage." Han Lingzi brushed off his robe and walked into the dojo first.

"I don't know who Chang wants to challenge?" As the host of the Sword Appreciation Conference, Lu Changqi naturally had to take on the responsibility of Zhang Luo's battle.

Han Lingzi glanced away, and then fixed his eyes on Jia Wuhai.

Jia Wuyu was stunned for a moment, then pointed to his nose: "The Taoist priest wants to compete with me?"

Han Lingzi looked at his stunned look, and nodded in a good mood: "It's you, little brother."

Before Jia Wujue could say "why", he was pushed into the dojo by enthusiastic onlookers.

In fact, it was not a sudden move that Han Lingzi chose Jia Wuhai.When Jia Wujue fought against the people from Tiancangu, he had already seen that this person had exquisite physical skills, and he was not from a small sect.It's just that he had never heard of the name "Wu Qi" in Jiang Hu, and his face was so unfamiliar, so he felt a little tentative in his heart.Later, when he paid attention, he discovered that this "Wu Qi" seemed to have a long friendship with Yue Chentan.He went to the meeting this time, originally wanting to challenge Yue Chentan, who was in the limelight, but he was preempted by Monk Fa Yan, so he had no choice but to retreat.If this Wu Qi loses in the competition, according to his friendship with Yue Chentan, it is not impossible for Yue Chentan to help him, so he will naturally have a chance to fight Yue Chentan.

Kill two birds with one stone, nothing more.

Jia Wujue didn't know the calculations in Han Lingzi's mind. When the two met for the first time, he secretly felt that this Taoist priest seemed like a banished fairy, unpredictable.Now that he was chosen as his opponent again, he complained endlessly in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face, showing a look of pride.

"Poverty Wudang Han Lingzi, don't you know the little brother's name?" Han Lingzi said politely.

He had clearly declared his family name in front of him, why did this person ask again?Jia Wuchai was suspicious for a while, but he could only bite the bullet and say: "Little Ke Wu Qi, he's just a loose man."

"It turned out to be Brother Wu." A gleam flashed in Han Lingzi's eyes, "I don't know what kind of weapon Brother Wu is using?"

"I'm ashamed to say that Xiao Ke's skills are mediocre, but he has a little success in lightness kung fu." Jia Wuchai smiled wryly, showing a helpless gesture.

"Little brother, why should you be modest?" Han Lingzi said in a clear voice, "Yesterday's battle with Tian Cangu, my little brother's skill is obvious to all. If that kind of lightness kung fu is considered a small achievement in the eyes of a little brother, then our physical skills can only be regarded as It's unsightly."

"Don't dare, dare not." Jia Wu scratched his head embarrassingly.

"Master Lu, Pindao has something to say, I don't know if it should be said or not." Han Lingzi changed the subject, looked at Lu Changqi and said.

"The Daoist, but it's okay to say."

"In the sword appreciation competitions, the weapons held by the winners will always be listed on the list of divine weapons. But brother Wu's martial arts do not rely on an inch of iron, but on his body skills. It would be unfair for us to fight him with weapons." Han Lingzi asked, "Why don't both sides of the war use weapons, and use body skills against body skills?"

Lu Changqi twisted his beard and said: "What the Taoist said is polite, but Wudang has always been good at swordsmanship. If you don't use weapons, you may not be able to bring out the essence of Wudang."

"Master Lu's words are wrong." Han Lingzi said, "The essence of Wudang swordsmanship has always been in the formation and not in the sword. No matter how good the sword moves are, if there is no formation technique to back them up, they are nothing but gold and jade. .”

"So that's how it is." Lu Changqi said clearly, "That's according to the Taoist priest's intention, but to use the Wudang formation to compete with Wu Shaoxia? It's just," he frowned, "The Wudang formation has always been composed of several people." Formation, the Taoist priest is alone, how can he form an array?"

"Vendor Lu is right. Whether it succeeds or not depends on what this little brother wants." After finishing speaking, Han Lingzi looked at Jia Wuhai.Although his voice was clear and clear, but listening carefully, there was a terrifying chill in it.

Jia Wuju didn't realize it, just nodded and said: "Xiao Ke has long wanted to see the famous Wudang formation, and now he has such an opportunity, he must not miss it."

Han Lingzi curled his lips into a smile when he heard the words, and became more and more energetic.It's just that at the side of the dojo, Yue Chentan's eyes were so dark that no one could see his emotions.

"Little brother, wait a moment." After finishing speaking, Han Lingzi waved his long arm and said, "Let's fight."

Hearing several "pa pa", several sabers fell from the side of the dojo, and the eight Wudang disciples drew their bodies and rushed towards Han Lingzi.I saw these nine people, a group of three, standing on the dojo in the shape of a crescent moon.The mountain wind came suddenly, blowing their Taoist robes dancing in the air, making a sound of hunting.

"What array is this?" Someone in the crowd asked in a low voice.

"If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid it's Wudang's Sancai Sword Formation." Qiu Wanzhan rubbed his chin and said.

The Wudang Sancai Sword Formation is composed of nine people, and its name and formation all come from the Book of Changes.As the saying goes, "the way of setting up the sky is called Yin and Yang; the way of setting up the earth is called softness and rigidity; the way of setting up people is called benevolence and righteousness", and the three talents refer to the three ways of heaven, earth and man.It is said that although the Sancai Sword Formation is composed of only nine people, it implies 720 changes. In each change, the Jimen and Fierce Gates are different. Therefore, among the many formations in Wudang, the Sancai Sword Formation is the most Complex and dangerous.

Although there is no "sword" in the Sancai Sword Formation now, as long as the "formation" is there, it is still difficult to break through.

If Jia Wujue confronted Han Lingzi alone, he might be able to win with his good lightness kung fu.But now he is single-handedly fighting against the unpredictable three-talented sword array, the chance of winning is extremely slim, and his life may be at stake.Han Lingzi's suggestion of not using weapons seems to be out of fairness considerations, but in fact it has forced Jia Wu into a situation where he is sure to lose.

Monk Fa Yan seemed to see something strange, and snorted coldly: "I don't know what kind of monster this Han Lingzi is going to be." After speaking, he took a look at Yue Chentan, and found that his usual face The expressionless little junior had a cold and solemn expression at the moment, and could vaguely see a trace of anger.

What a wonder!

Monk Fa Yan sighed secretly, cleared his throat, patted Yue Chentan on the shoulder and said, "Junior brother, you don't need to worry. Although this Han Lingzi is insidious and cunning, he is not so bold as to kill people in front of all the heroes."

"..." Yue Chentan did not respond.

Just when monk Fa Yan thought that Yue Chentan hadn't heard, and wanted to repeat what he said just now, he heard his junior brother coolly say: "I'm not worried."

"..." This time it was Monk Fa Yan's turn to be speechless for a while.

Different from everyone's complicated mentality after seeing the three-talented sword formation, Jia Wujue was calm in his heart and didn't take the nine-man formation to heart.Since he was a child in the Star Picking Valley, he was asked to go to the deep cave tomb alone to complete the task.In the underground palace, there are so many organs and traps that it is impossible to guard against.He haunts here all the year round, and in order to save his life, he practiced the skill of breaking through formations and unlocking.Deciphering common mechanisms, such as chain flippers, fire crossbow shooting machines and the like, is like a game to him, and for ancient formations such as Wuhou's eight formations, he can see where the formations are with just one glance.People who don't know will think that he has the magical power to decipher the ingenuity.Only he himself understands that all these skills come from his strong instinct to survive when he is on the line of life and death.

He stood idly on the field, calmly watching the formation of the nine opposing troops, but there was a smile on his face.

"It seems that this Wu Shaoxia has a plan in his chest."

"I don't think so. Wudang's three-talented sword formation is the best in the world. I'm afraid he knew he was invincible, so he was captured without a fight."

"If he knew he was invincible, why did he look ironic?"

"Naturally, I feel that I have little talent and learning, and I am as different from Wudang students as I am. I am just laughing at myself."

The people in the audience were talking a lot, Jia Wujue could hear it, and Han Lingzi and the other nine could hear it too.Jia Wuhai has long been used to this kind of gossip, but among the nine people in Wudang, they are usually only looked up to by others, so they have never been ridiculed.Seeing the sneering smile on Jia Wuba's face, one of them couldn't hold back his anger.

Jia Wuchai looked at the man who was about to move, and rolled his eyes, "Very well, it's just you."
