Cloud of the Qing Dynasty

What happened that night quickly spread, and like many rumors in the world, it became more and more exaggerated, and there were two different versions: one focused on exaggerating how decent people were played by Wei Brahma and killed each other for selfishness, How smart and calm a decent person is, he unscathed Wei Fantian's serial conspiracy.

Zhang Chi's name also began to enter the sight of some Jianghu people from that day on.

Qin Wuqi kept his word, and when he came back, he really gave him a big thank you - a full 500 taels of silver notes. By the way, he also expressed a strong willingness to poach someone, and lured Zhang Chi to join Jinghong Villa with a very good salary.

Although the Jianghu emphasizes personal loyalty to the sect, and is also very afraid of poaching other people's corners, but "Bao inquiring" is not a kind of Jianghu sect. Even if he poachs others' walls, no one will say anything, but Zhang Chi still fight Haha: "Thank you, Master Qin, for looking up to me, but Bao Diao Tiao has always treated me fairly well, and I have no plans to change course and vote for the time being."

Qin Wuqi was not annoyed, he still smiled gracefully and said: "It's okay, you can change your mind at any time, Jinghong Villa will always be waiting for you."

It is not difficult for Zhang Chi to guess Qin Wuqi's mind - Qin Wuqi must have discovered that he was collecting and inquiring about Jinghong Villa intentionally or unintentionally, and because of the embarrassment of the Shangqing Palace, he was driven out, so he came to win him over For a moment, if he really agrees to come down and take refuge in Jinghong Villa, Qin Wuqi will put him in good stead. If he doesn't agree, Qin Wuqi will be paving a golden escape path for him.

If he is really just a little guy in the bag inquiring, even if he refuses to agree, it is hard not to be moved by this glittering back road, just to ensure that this back road will continue, and he will avoid some people who let him go. Embarrassing news about Jinghong Villa leaked out.

With such careful consideration, it is no wonder that Jinghong Villa can achieve unprecedented prosperity in Qin Wuqi's hands.

Lu Xiaomi, who also helped a lot, also received a reward of 200 taels, but Long Jiu hadn't been seen since that day. He only heard that he met Qin Wuqi in private, so he hurried to southern Xinjiang.

Without the disturbance from the Red Lotus Sect, the martial arts conference went on smoothly. After half a month, the top 24 were successfully determined.

Mu Liuyun naturally entered the top 24 without any surprises, but apart from him in the Shangqing Palace, only one apprentice of Tianhe Daochang barely entered the top 24 with the level of the tail of the crane. It is no wonder that before Mu Liuyun debuted , People in the Jianghu have been saying things like "the next generation of disciples of the Shangqing Palace are not good at all".

The sect with the best overall strength is still Shaolin Temple, with five disciples shortlisted. The other nine sects also have one to three most powerful disciples in the finals. There are also two beggar gangs. Lu Xiaomi is not one of them, because he is very unfortunate. He ran into Mu Liuyun in the third game.

At that time, Mu Liuyun had already defeated several opponents with good martial arts, and Lu Xiaomi, who knew he had no chance of winning, could only sigh helplessly, and twirled the dog-beating stick in his hand: "Come on, don't be merciful, If I can pass ten strokes in your hands, I won't be ashamed of Master."

As expected, Mu Liuyun showed no mercy, and defeated Lu Xiaomi with just eight moves.

Lu Xiaomi didn't continue to compete, but hugged Zhang Chi and cried for a while, and then went to cheer for Mu Liuyun. Anyway, he was defeated anyway, and it would not be so embarrassing to lose to the champion.

The next final was more tense and exciting, and the big and small gamblers in Jinghong Villa also began to bet on the outcome. People from the rivers and lakes who think they have eyesight and can tell which side is stronger gather in teahouses and restaurants every day to prepare for the future. Who will win the quarrel endlessly.

There were not many people who were optimistic about Mu Liuyun at the beginning, because he was relatively unknown compared with other players who reached the finals, and many more discerning Jiang Hu people also clearly saw that his combat experience was not very sufficient. Zhang Chi has always been unswerving in buying Mu Liuyun to win, and Mu Liuyun really won all the way to the end, winning the championship, which made Zhang Chi a lot of money.

After a total of nearly two months, the martial arts conference finally decided the final winner.

In the end, the top three came from sects known for their self-discipline and hard work. They were Daoist Tianxuan from Shangqing Palace, Miaoyin Shitai from Emei School, and Master Zhikong from Shaolin Temple.

As soon as this result came out, many elders also educated their juniors earnestly with this words: "Look, opportunism is not as good as a hard-working person after all!"

Needless to say, Mu Liuyun has been practicing his martial arts in obscurity for a long time. In just a few months after his debut, he won the championship of this martial arts competition with a strong posture that shocked many people. The idea that "there is no successor to the Shangqing Palace", and he is so young and promising, with a handsome appearance, has attracted the hearts of many women in the Jianghu.

As a woman, Miaoyinshitai is quite surprising to be able to defeat many opponents and get the No.2 achievement, although there are also many defeated opponents who attack her with jealousy, ugly looks, bad temper, and no one wants her in her 30s. It is similar, but her achievements in martial arts are indeed beyond doubt, and many people admire her.

As for Master Zhikong, who is uglier, has a bad temper, is older, and is sure that no one will "want him" in this life, no one will gossip behind his back. Master Huijue of the Discipline Academy has the same fiery temper and dead brain. He is undoubtedly the best candidate for the future head of the Discipline Academy of Shaolin Temple.

The battle between martial arts masters often has a lot of variables. Whether the physical condition of the two sides is good, how is the mental state, whether the environment is suitable, or even whether the breakfast is full today may affect the final outcome, so there is no No. 2 There is no doubt that if you fight against No.1, you will lose.

Therefore, some people think that Mu Liuyun's ability to win all the way to the end is nothing more than good luck and extraordinary performance. Some people believe that Mu Liuyun is actually stronger than people think, because a person's good luck cannot last forever, and Even in the case of lack of combat experience, he still defeated his opponent every time, which is enough to show that his martial arts has not been brought to the extreme.

Both sides are eagerly looking forward to the final battle of this year's martial arts conference. The winner, Mu Liuyun, will challenge Qin Wuqi, the owner of Jinghong Villa.

Apart from Master Huijue and Daoist Tianxing who have been famous for many years, Qin Wuqi is currently ranked No.3 on Bai Xiaosheng's "Wulin Masters Ranking List". In defeating Qin Wuqi, whether he was lucky or a top player who deserved his name, everything will be revealed tomorrow.

Regarding the outcome of tomorrow's battle, the spectators have different opinions, and even the odds of the casino have reached the point of [-] to [-], and there is no bias towards any side.

"After tomorrow's battle, regardless of the outcome, I will return to Shangqing Palace." Mu Liuyun said to Zhang Chi in the afternoon before the decisive battle.

"Ah, so fast?" Zhang Chi was a little surprised.

"The senior brother will stay here to deal with matters related to the Wulin League. I'm not interested in these. It's better to go back to Shangqing Palace as soon as possible to concentrate on practicing."

"Uh, yes..." Zhang Chi scratched his head and said hesitantly, "I want to go to the Shangqing Palace with you for a few days. Is it convenient?"

He doesn't want to be separated from Mu Liuyun. Although their relationship is stuck at the level of "friends" and there is no further hope for it for the time being, for Zhang Chi, even if it is just to be able to see Mu Liuyun every day Yun, it's good to be able to talk to him.

Mu Liuyun originally wanted to invite Zhang Chi to the Shangqing Palace as a guest, but Zhang Chi thought of going with him, so he nodded with a smile: "Yeah."

"Then I have to get ready right away, I'll go to the city!" Zhang Chi excitedly pocketed the banknote, and almost galloped out.

It wasn't until evening that he came back with a lot of things. Mu Liuyun looked at the big bags and small bags he brought back in amazement: "Why do you buy so many things? Can't you go to Chang'an to buy them so far away?"

"There is a way to send a feather from a thousand miles away, and the gift is light and the affection is heavy. Besides, some things are special products in Wuling City, which may not be found in Chang'an. Look, this is tea for your elder brother. Only Wuling City can buy it. The first-hand new tea produced by Xianyu Tea House this spring, I don’t know how many hands are sold in Chang’an. I heard that your second senior brother likes calligraphy. He must like this fine Hui ink. And this is for you three Brother's calligraphy and painting..."

"These are all gifts?...Do you need to buy so many gifts?" Mu Liuyun asked puzzled.

The Shangqing Palace also pays attention to the etiquette of human relations, and will give gifts to other friendly sects or individuals every year and festival. He has never paid attention to these human relations, but he just feels that it should not be so exaggerated.

"It's the first time we meet, I have to make a good impression on them." With a happy expression, Zhang Chi swiftly wrapped up the gifts by category.

Mu Liuyun thought to himself, the Shangqing Palace has a prominent position in the martial arts world, and there are often many people who want to make friends but fail. Mu Liuyun himself knew that it was rare to be so attentive.

The author has something to say: After all, it is not the starting point for a passionate youth novel. There is nothing to write about the specific process of fighting in the ring. Skip skip~~
