There are many ghosts on the road of alms

When the gong sounded, the four great families entered the arena one after another, and Chu Liu happened to walk out of the secret room at this time.

"Is it about to start? I didn't come out late."

Liu Qinyan pulled Chu Liu's wrist and tested her pulse, "Don't worry, have you recovered yet?"

"Well, it's almost there, let's go." As Chu Liu said, he took his hand back.

The two walked towards the martial arts field. The venue for the second event of the conference was set in the deep courtyard, which is the place where they discussed Taoism and had lunch yesterday.Since each family only brought ten people, except for the two who participated in the official competition, there were only eight people from each family to watch.The eight disciples sat on the ground with a distance of one meter between them, forming a square with the other three families, which was used as a competition venue.

The four Patriarchs stayed in the pavilion with the two contestants.

Since the aristocratic family entered the arena one step earlier than Chu Liu and the other two, when Chu Liu and Liu Qinyan came in, they saw that everyone had already sat down and looked at them.

"Sorry, I'm late." Liu Qinyan said to everyone.

Seeing Liu Qinyan's movement on the sixth day of the lunar new year, she also turned towards the direction of the four pavilions, and cupped her hands one by one. When looking at the pavilion of Zuo's house, she took a special look at Sun Yu. Seeing Sun Yu nodding to her, she felt relieved, and then Following Liu Qinyan, she entered the pavilion of the Liu family.

"Yu'er, Chu Liu was injured in just one afternoon?" Zuo Jing looked at Chu Liu's face and frowned, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Mother, I don't know about it. After I took Wan Qing away yesterday, I haven't contacted Chu Liu and the others."

"Wanqing? The one you brought home for treatment yesterday?" Zuo Jing looked up at Sun Yu behind her.

"Yes, mother."

"You like that Wanqing?"

Sun Yu was taken aback by the sudden question, and then hesitated and didn't know what to say.

When Zuo Jing thought about it, her son didn't send her directly to the hospital yesterday, but carried her back home stupidly, which really made Zuo Jing worry. This child is just like his father, he is stupid when it comes to emotional matters.

"Let's put this down beforehand, so I'll ask you, should you send people back today?"

"Um, well, I'll give it away after the meeting today." Sun Yu was a little depressed.

Seeing that her son misunderstood, Zuo Jing pulled Sun Yu to her hand: "Silly boy, it's not to prevent you from getting along with Wan Qing, she didn't go back all night, parents will be anxious, and besides, you are now engaged to that child from the Liu family , if it is too obvious, that old man from the Zuo family will find trouble."

When Sun Yu heard that her mother was not trying to stop her, she cheered up a bit.

"Oh, love at first sight is still possible. Congratulations, brother, do you need a girl to advise you?" Zuo Yu saw her brother and mother whispering there, and came over.

"Then I will trouble my sister." Sun Yu happily cupped his hands to his sister.

Seeing her brother being rude, Zuo Yu was also taken aback for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed: "Okay, okay, leave it to me, but you and your future sister-in-law have only known each other for a day, so you should wait until you get to know a little bit more before actively pursuing him." good."

Zuo Jing nodded in agreement when she heard what her daughter said.

"Then mother, if you meet the sixth day that you are optimistic about today, look, should we release the water?" Zuo Yu took Zuo Jing's hand and said coquettishly.

"Look at your brother's expression."

"My brother?" Zuo Yu turned around and found that his brother was looking at her with weird eyes, "What's wrong, brother?"

"Sister, if you let the water go, you will lose badly." Sun Yu said seriously.

Zuo Yu thought his brother was joking again, but when she looked at her mother, she found that she was also serious, so Zuo Yu put away her joking thoughts, and secretly observed Chu Liu and Liu Qinyan, wanting to see what they had ability.

...

"Everyone, today is the second session of this Dao Discussion Conference. I will preside over the discussion within the family for the time being." Patriarch Yuan stood up, bowed his hands to the other three patriarchs, and continued: "Before the competition officially starts, it is still the same. As usual, invite the juniors from each family to come on stage and warm up."

Hearing Patriarch Yuan's words, the disciples sitting on the ground got up one after another, four of them walked from each side of the square to the middle of the field.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, I thought it was for all the participants to warm up and wanted to go out of the pavilion, but after taking a step, I found that the people in the other pavilions did not move.

"The warm-up match is for mobilizing the atmosphere. We just need to watch it now. After they finish three rounds, it will be our turn." Liu Qinyan explained in a low voice beside Chu Liu.

"Well, that's right."

Since the warm-up match was only a one-on-one match, there was not much reference value for the formal discussion. On the sixth day of the sixth day, I carefully watched the match between the Yuan family and the Zuo family, and learned about the Yuan family's moves. As for other fights, On the sixth day of the lunar new year, he had no interest, and instead focused on healing his wounds.

Yuan Run, who had been paying attention to Chu Liu, showed a sinister smile when he saw Chu Liu enter the state of cultivation.

Since the pavilions of the four families were on the four corners of the square, the Yuan family faced the Liu family obliquely, so they could just see the situation in the Liu family pavilion clearly.At first, Yuan Run thought that Chu Liu was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, using the old-fashioned trick of pretending to be sick.However, Chu Liu actually healed his wounds in public, which is really courageous.

Yuan Run has always hated Chu Liu, and hit him on the nose in front of everyone in the ghost market, which made him lose face. How could he let Chu Liu get injured.

"Father, listen to me..." Yuan Run bent down and whispered in Patriarch Yuan's ear.

Liu Yi naturally noticed the movement of Yuan's family. Although he did not agree with Chu Liu's healing here, he also knew that there was no way to do it. Chu Liu's injury could not be covered up.

"Qinyan." Liu Yi beckoned and asked Liu Qinyan to come to him, "If you lose in the competition with the Yuan family, don't force it, just admit defeat in time."

"Father?"

"Did you see the person next to the youngest son of the Yuan family?"

Liu Qinyan looked at several people in Yuan's pavilion, and found the man her father said, "The one with the hat?"

"Yes. His cultivation level looks similar to yours, but I feel that his way of cultivation is not compatible with yours. To be precise, it is not compatible with our Liu family." Liu Yi lightly tapped the table, a little worried.

"Father, don't worry, if we lose, we will admit defeat." Liu Qinyan observed the man and said to her father.

"That's good."

The man wearing the hat seemed to have sensed Liu Qinyan's gaze, and looked at her with a sneer on his lips.Turning to look at the sixth day, he looked a little apprehensive.

At this moment in the arena, a round of competition has been completed.Each family sent one person, and the Liu family had two victories and one loss. Seeing this record, the head of Liu Yi's family was very satisfied, and low-key replaced them again.But the Zhang family was quite arrogant, letting the disciples in the first round continue to fight, and actually wanted to win six consecutive victories.

The rules of the meeting were not clearly stipulated, and since the head of the Yuan family was close to the Zhang family, naturally there was no objection.

At halftime of the second round of the warm-up match, Patriarch Yuan actually interrupted the match.

"Ahem, since the witnesses have arrived, we will enter the formal discussion ahead of time."

Several juniors on the field returned to their seats one after another, and the four masters stood up to greet them.

"For the sake of fairness in the conference, the abbot of Changning Temple is specially invited this time as a witness for this discussion." After Patriarch Yuan finished speaking, everyone bowed their hands to the abbot who entered the courtyard to show respect.

"Amitabha." The abbot of Changning Temple clasped his hands together and nodded in return.

Hearing the Buddha's name on the sixth day of the lunar new year, he opened his eyes instantly, "Qinyan, why is this abbot here?"

Liu Qinyan shook her head and said: "I don't know, the witnesses are usually invited by Yuan's family." And there is still one and a half rounds of warm-up match, the abbot's early arrival made Liu Qinyan a little suspicious of Yuan's family. Home.

In fact, Liu Qinyan's feeling was not wrong, the early arrival of the witnesses was indeed the work of the Yuan family.

Seeing that Chu Liu was recovering from his injuries, Yuan Run, the youngest son of the Yuan family, naturally didn't want him to get what he wanted, so he specially told his father to invite witnesses as soon as possible to enter the sparring match, so that he could attack Chu Liu as soon as possible and end his hatred.

And letting the abbot of Changning Temple serve as a witness is also to kill Chu Liu on the field without taking any risks.Life and death matter on the field of competition, and no one is allowed to interfere unless the players voluntarily admit defeat.This is also the reason why Liu Yi instructed Liu Qinyan.

"Since the master has arrived, the rest will be handed over to the master to preside over it."

"Amitabha." The abbot of Changning Temple knew the follow-up process, agreed, and then announced to everyone: "The contestants participating in this competition, please come to the field."

"Let's go, let's go there." Liu Qinyan stretched out her hand to help Chu Liu, and said.

Chu Liu originally wanted to shake Liu Qinyan's hand away, but Liu Qinyan still held it tightly, "Anyway, you are also injured, so you might as well pretend to be serious." Chu Liu understood what Liu Qinyan was thinking when he heard it. .

Yuan Run saw that Chu Liu's footsteps were flimsy, and he needed someone to help him even walk. He sneered, "Why are your feet weak before you start beating? Shall I send you back?"

"You sissy, why are you everywhere?" Zuo Yu was a straightforward person, plus her mother and elder brother were there, so she naturally didn't take this trash of the Yuan family seriously.

"Say it again." Yuan Run hated people calling him a sissy the most, and stared at Zuo Yu viciously.

Seeing Yuan Run scaring his sister, Sun Yu stood in front of Zuo Yu and shouted, "Yuan Run, do you dare to scare my sister?"

Yuan Run knew that he couldn't beat Sun Yu, so he had no choice but to look to Zhang Yuyi, wanting him to stand out.However, he suddenly found out that the Zhang family didn't talk too much today, and even Zhang Yuyi and his junior brother were honest, so he thought to himself: "Could it be that the Zhang family is going to go back on their word?"

"Wait for the Zhang family, if the opponent makes a ruthless move, you don't have to show mercy." Yuan Run said based on the principle of being cautious.

Yuan Run's partner replied "Yes", and then, where Yuan Run couldn't notice, he and Zhang Yuyi looked at each other and smiled strangely.
