Chapter 56 Borrowing the Power of Ghosts
"Okay!" The crowd burst into thunderous cheers, and the sound shook the sky.
On a huge arena with a radius of ten feet in front of the Great Zhou Imperial City, two martial artists were fighting fiercely with swords and swords.The arena was surrounded by tens of thousands of spectators, and shouts broke out from time to time.On the hundreds of seats on three sides of the stage close to the stage, there were knights who signed up for this second princess Yu Hongzhuang of the Great Zhou Royal Family, a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, as well as well-known and decent people in the martial arts world invited by the royal family to watch the competition.Among them, the first one sitting in the south is Arslen, the prince of Tatar, and his guards, warriors and monks.
On the north side of the arena, a three-story attic was temporarily erected.The bottom layer is the officials of Da Zhou who presided over the martial arts competition and the senior guards of the palace who are responsible for maintaining order.The second level is the senior officials of the imperial court and members of the royal family.On the top floor are the emperor and empress and the second princess Yu Hongzhuang.Xiangfei bamboo curtains hang on the second and third floors of the attic.People behind the bamboo curtain can observe the competition on the ring through the palm-sized hole on the bamboo curtain, but people outside can't clearly see the appearance of the emperor and others behind the bamboo curtain of Concubine Xiang on the attic.
Yu Hongzhuang approached the small square hole in Xiangfei's bamboo curtain, saw Hua Li in a jade-colored brocade robe sitting on the west side of the ring, and couldn't help smiling knowingly.At the same time, among the people sitting on the east side, she saw the people from Biluo Palace, but she only saw Jun Ruyue.But Ye Liuguang didn't see it.I wondered if it was a disguise, so I couldn't recognize the person.
The competition started at Chenshi, and it has been more than an hour now, and almost half of the martial arts knights who signed up have tried it.The rule of the game is a one-on-one elimination system, whoever knocks the opponent down the stage wins.Another point is to stop at the end, and you can't kill people, otherwise even if you win, you will be judged as a loser.
The emperor Yu Chengtai, who was sitting beside Yu Hongzhuang, also went to the observation hole on the bamboo curtain of the concubine Xiang in front of him and took a look, then sat back and picked up a yellow glaze from the tray held by the eunuch Xue Xian Tuanlong Cup, drank two sips of tea, and said to Queen Dong Wanmei who was sitting beside her: "Queen, look at that Prince Arslen of Tatar, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, looking like he is bound to win."
The queen said: "Don't look at him as a foreigner. All of Chengri's family are dismissed immediately, and they can't read and write, but the twists and turns in his belly are no less than those of us in Dazhou. He will wait until the next half an hour. This time, my knights from Da Zhou who signed up for the martial arts competition to recruit relatives did not make a move until they were close to each other."
"So the wonderful thing should be in the second half of the day. It's already noon now, let's go eat some imperial food and come back after a while." After the emperor said so, he ordered the eunuch in charge of the imperial court to pass on the food.He got up and took the queen and princess to rest in the back house.After a while, the eunuch in charge of eating brought the food boxes specially prepared by the imperial dining room for this day, opened them one by one, put the dishes on the table, and the emperor's family began to have lunch.
And outside, on the seat of Biluo Palace on the east side of the arena, Jun Ruyue was also eating.Ye Liuguang specially ordered Jingbitang's cook to prepare snacks and meals for her when she came out to watch the competition today.Today's Ye Liuguang pretended to be a senior disciple of Biluo Palace, sitting behind Jun Ruyue, serving Jun Ruyue to eat and drink.The two of them were also talking at the moment, only Jun Ruyue said: "It should be in the afternoon when it looks so exciting. If I had known earlier, I should have slept later and come back after lunch."
Ye Liuguang whispered behind her: "Today you represent our Biluo Palace. Since the emperor invited us here, wouldn't it be too disrespectful to the emperor if we come again after noon? Besides, the spring rolls and bean buns are still there In the hands of the emperor."
Jun Ruyue pouted, looked at the direction where the emperor was on the third floor to the north of the arena, and said helplessly, "Got it. I'll just sit down."
She was looking at the attic in the north, while Hualixue in the west was looking at her.Talking in a low voice to Qing Cang who was sitting beside him wearing a veiled hat: "Look at the Biluo Palace, why haven't you seen their young palace master Ye Liuguang?"
Qingcang replied: "Does he also want to participate in this competition?"
"He also wants to participate? You mean, he may be entrusted by the emperor to deal with the Tatar prince and leave the second princess in Da Zhou?"
"It's entirely possible. What does the young master plan to do?"
"Then let's wait until the last moment, when Prince Tatar makes his move."
"Yes! Young Master!"
After Hualixue finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Jun Ruyue who was eating and drinking, her face became a little gloomy.Xindao, this woman who does not keep promises, let you be at ease for a while.
On the south side of the arena, Tatar Prince Alslen took a few sips of goat milk from the guards around him, took a quick dry meat and bit it vigorously, and said to Chaganbala, the monk beside him: "National teacher, You see, the kung fu of these Da Zhou warriors is nothing more than that, one of our warriors can match the two of them. This time we must take advantage of this martial arts competition to recruit relatives, not to mention winning the princess, but also to show off Da Zhou and let them know Our country of Tatar is powerful."
Chaganbala smiled speculatively and said, "Maybe their powerful martial arts figures from the Great Zhou haven't made a move yet? However, no matter how powerful they are, I still have a way to deal with them. The prince will definitely be able to marry back the second princess of the Great Zhou this time." .”
Arslen laughed loudly, "Then everything depends on the national teacher."
"It is my honor to solve the prince's problems."
"If I can marry the second princess and go back, I will definitely speak to King Khan and ask him to grant you the Jibu grassland and build a temple there for you."
"The minister thanked the prince very much."
-
"Zhou Hai of the Changle Gang won this round of victory. No knights have come to the stage to participate in the competition. If there is no one, I will announce that Zhou Hai will be the final winner of this competition and become the second princess' son-in-law!"
Dou De, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, stood on the ring and said loudly. While talking, he looked around the ring and watched the people sitting around the ring, especially the Tatar Prince Arslen.This time the martial arts competition has been going on, and now [-]% of the knights who have signed up to participate in the martial arts competition have come on stage, and less than [-]% of them have not participated in the competition.Among them was Prince Arslen of Tatar.
Arslen saw that it was almost done, and then winked at a bearded man beside him. The man nodded, then stood up and shouted loudly, "Wait a minute."
All the onlookers looked over and knew that this was the Lord's move.Everyone knows that the main purpose of the Great Zhou Emperor to engage in this competition to recruit relatives is to deal with the Tatar prince who wants to take away the second princess Yu Hongzhuang.
As soon as everyone saw that the foreign man had finished speaking, he jumped onto the ring and bowed his hands to Dou De, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, "Here in Xiatelmu, we will represent our Tatar prince to compete with Zhou Hai from the Changle Gang."
Dou De then said: "Then do you know the rules of the competition?"
Termu nodded, "It's very clear."
"Okay, Termu, Zhou Hai, after I get out of the ring, you will officially start the competition." After Dou De signaled to the two of them respectively, he walked off the ring.
As soon as Dou De stepped off the ring, Termu and Zhou Hai began to fight.The martial arts of the two are completely different.The Tatar Termu was completely slamming and rushing, without any rules at all, and drove Zhou Hai of the Changle Gang into a panic.Several times when Zhou Hai's fists full of internal energy hit Termu's body, he unexpectedly bounced back, injuring his internal organs, and bleeding protruded from the corners of his mouth.After Zhou Haiqi deliberately exposed the empty door and hit him with both fists, taking advantage of the time when he was swallowed back by his own shock force and spewed out a big mouthful of blood, Termu stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Hai and punched him heavily. He was thrown under the ring, knocking him unconscious on the spot.
The emperor and queen who were watching the game in the attic to the north were all shocked when they saw this scene. They did not expect that the Tatar prince was so powerful that he defeated Zhou Hai, a long-established knight from the Changle Gang, and was seriously injured.The emperor hurriedly asked Xue Xian, the chief steward beside him, "Didn't you say that Zhou Hai's martial arts is not weak? Why did he lose as soon as he met this Tatar prince? Fortunately, I specially sent you to instruct him to deal with this Arslen. "
"Long Live Lord, this foreigner's martial arts are very weird, it's understandable that Zhou Hai is not used to losing for a while." Xue Xian bowed.
The emperor stroked his chin beard, and thought: "Fortunately, I still have a backhand." While thinking, he looked in the direction of Biluo Palace.It turned out that on the day the prince was assassinated in the palace and the ice dragon pendant was stolen, he called Ye Liuguang to talk, one of which was to ask her to help deal with the Tatar prince, so that his second princess would not have to marry far away from Tatar and stay in the palace. Great week.
At this time, he naturally turned his hopeful eyes to the direction where everyone in Biluo Palace was sitting on the west side of the ring.The queen saw that the Tatar prince had won, but she became anxious, because she didn't know the emperor's arrangement, so she was busy comforting her little daughter who was sitting beside her, "Zhuanger, don't worry, we Da Zhou There must be martial arts knights who will help you deal with that Tartar prince."
However, what puzzled the queen was that her little daughter didn't seem to be in any hurry, and she sat very still. The expression she could see from the observation hole on the bamboo curtain in front of the concubine Xiang seemed to be watching other women compete in martial arts to recruit relatives. She has nothing to do with herself.Looking at the emperor sitting on his left, he didn't seem to be in a hurry.
Could it be that the father and daughter are hiding something that they don't know?Thinking of this, the queen calmed down and watched the changes.
Seeing that Termu had won, Dou De, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, stepped onto the ring again, and said loudly: "This round is won by Termu, the Tatar warrior who represents Prince Arslen of Tatar. No knights have come up to challenge Termu. Ermu? I'll count to three, if no one comes up, then the final result is that Arslen will become the husband-in-law of my big Tuesday princess!"
After saying this, Dou De slowly looked around the ring.
At this moment, Jun Ruyue, who was sitting on the east side of the arena, was talking to Ye Liuguang, who was sitting behind her easily: "We will be counting in a while, when are you going up?"
"I'm waiting for Dou De, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, to count to three. I think maybe there are people who can count to two. I still hope that there will be someone who can stand up to the Tatar prince, so that the little princess will be matched with a real one." Isn't the son-in-law alright?"
Jun Ruyue nodded, "That's true."
And on the west side of the arena, Hualixue explained to Qingcang who was sitting next to her, "The officials of Dazhou will count to two in a while, so you can go up."
Qingcang should be.In fact, he really wanted to ask himself why the young lord wanted to get involved in the big Tuesday princess's martial arts contest to recruit relatives.Isn't it more important to come back to the Great Zhou Capital to participate in the Great Zhou Pill King Conference tomorrow, and to capture the young lady from Bi Luo Palace and return to Wanmo City to help the leader completely get rid of the cold poison?
However, the person in front of him is the noble young master. Although he is one of the four guardians of the Devil's Cult, he can't ask why and can only obey orders.The Tatar Termu on the stage just now looked like a big and rough man, and his martial arts was also disorderly. In fact, Qing Cang could see that his foreign martial arts had actually reached the pinnacle.It does not require internal strength, but the body's skin and bones are invulnerable, and they are as resilient as tendons.Therefore, the more the person who is competing with him hits his body, the more internal force he uses, the more he will be backlashed by his own strength, causing his own damage.Therefore, to fight against this Termu, you need to use force from a distance, which requires a very strong internal force cultivation, otherwise the internal force will not be able to condense into a solid body, and it will not be able to cause harm to that Termu.It's a bit like breaking a wooden board under a piece of tofu with palm force, and the tofu is neither broken nor damaged.
"One, two..." Dou De had already counted on the ring, and everyone around the ring began to hold their breath and wait for the "three" exit, to see if the princess's marriage will be settled like this on Tuesday, Will she marry far away from the country of Tatar and become the concubine of Prince Arslen of Tatar?
The emperor and empress and Yu Hongzhuang, who were watching the competition on the third floor of the north attic, also felt a little nervous at this time.Although the emperor and Yu Hongzhuang knew that they had already made arrangements, they were still afraid that if something went wrong, the Tatar prince Arslen would really get his wish.
"Wait a minute!" Qing Cang stood up, tapped his toes lightly on the ground, and the person had already landed on the ring lightly like a fallen leaf.Then he said to Dou De, Minister of the Ministry of Rites who presided over the competition, "I will compete with this Tatar warrior Termu on behalf of Hua Li, the young master of my family."
The onlookers were a little surprised when they saw a mysterious man wearing a black veiled cap and green clothes flying up suddenly, and they were a little surprised to hear him mention a completely unknown sect. They didn't know where this person came from.
Dou De asked: "This chivalrous man, I wonder if you have signed up to participate in the princess's martial arts competition to recruit relatives this time? What sect does it represent?"
Qing Cang was prepared a long time ago, and said: "My young sect master has already signed up, we are the Dunhuang Golden Knife Gate."
"Golden Knife Gate?" Dou De murmured, took out a registration booklet from his sleeve and opened it, and sure enough, he saw the name "Dunhuang Golden Knife Gate" on it.
"What is the name of the hero?" Dou De continued to ask.
"My name is Jin Cang."
"Okay, Jin Cang, Termu, you guys will start the competition after I get off the ring. I think you all know the rules of the competition, so I won't say more."
After saying this, Dou De put away the registration booklet and put it back in his sleeve, and got off the ring.
On the attic next to the arena, the emperor was confused at this moment, looked at the direction where everyone in Biluo Palace was sitting on the east side of the arena, and frowned.I thought to myself, when will there be another Golden Knife Gate?Why didn't Ye Liuguang come out just now? Did he wait until the last moment to come out?
I also thought of the mysterious man in the ring who said he represented the young master of the Golden Knife Sect.So I went to the observation hole of Xiangfei's bamboo curtain and looked out, and saw a young man in the west, wearing a jade-colored brocade robe, with a beautiful appearance and a cool temperament, fanning gently with a folding fan in his forehand, with a relaxed expression Looking at the stage.
ah!What a handsome boy!When the emperor saw it, he could be said to be elated. He could be said to be extremely satisfied with such a man with his makeup.He wished that the young master of the Golden Knife Sect had the ability to defeat the Tatar prince and become his son-in-law.
When Yu Hongzhuang saw the man in Tsing Yi flying into the ring and said that he represented Hua Li, the young sect master of the Golden Knife Sect, her heart was completely relieved.He looked happily at Hua Li, who was sitting on the west side of the ring, and sat back with a smile on his face.The queen also noticed the young man named Hua Li, just like the emperor, she couldn't help being overjoyed after seeing it, and hurriedly leaned into the emperor's ear and whispered: "Long live lord, you see that the young master of the Golden Knife Gate is really worthy Let's do makeup."
The emperor glanced at Yu Hongzhuang, stroked his beard and smiled, and said to the queen, "I hope our makeup can match this person."
Here the emperor and empress were talking about Hualixue.Jun Ruyue and Ye Liuguang on the east side of the arena were also discussing the sudden appearance of the Young Sect Master of the Golden Knife Sect.
Jun Ruyue said with a smile: "I never thought that someone would come out to deal with this Tatar prince at the last moment, and that young master of the Golden Knife Sect is really good-looking. If the little princess can really marry this man, I will do it for you!" She's happy."
Ye Liuguang couldn't hear Jun Ruyue's praise of other men's good looks, so he curled his lips and said, "What's wrong? My mouth waters when I see a handsome man."
"Yeah, I'm crazy. I just realized that someone in this world is narcissistic. He always thinks he's the most handsome person in the world. In fact, he's just mediocre!"
Ye Liuguang snorted, and began to stare carefully at the Young Sect Master of the Golden Knife Sect.The more I look at it, the more I feel that he is a bit too beautiful.And like himself, he belongs to the feminine and beautiful type.Just one question came to mind, could he be a woman like himself?
While she was thinking about Hualixue, she was also talking about the so-called young master of the Golden Knife Sect called Hua Li at the side of Prince Arslen of Tatar.
"National Teacher, where did the Golden Knife Sect come out, and the young sect master named Hua Li? Where did you come from, a kid who doesn't know how to live or die!" Arslen looked very angry at Hualixue, mainly because of this The young man named Hua Li was so handsome that he was firmly compared to his self-proclaimed suave and suave self.This kind of opponent makes him very unhappy.
"Don't be angry, the prince. No matter who he is or who he is, he must be able to defeat Telmu. Only by defeating me can he pose a threat to the prince. Just look at it and see how we deal with these so-called martial arts decentness of Dazhou!"
Arslen gritted his teeth and nodded, "If the national teacher makes a move at that moment, he must deal with them severely for me!"
"Yes, Prince!" Chagan Bala said respectfully.
In the arena, Termu and Qingcang had already fought each other.However, as soon as they fought, he felt that the mysterious man wearing a black veil in front of him was a formidable opponent.Because of his erratic footwork, he didn't fight him head-on at all, as if he was a cat playing with a mouse.Several times, he swung his fist violently, but when he was about to touch the opponent's robe, he dodged it.After dozens of moves in this way, Termu became anxious, and his punches became faster and faster, and more and more holes were naturally exposed.
Seeing that the opportunity has come, Qing Cang stopped teasing him.While he was pounced over, he quickly spun behind him, concentrated his physical and internal energy into his palm, and punched heavily from the air.A punch that seemed to be a concentrated internal force pierced Termu's back and instantly shattered the left lung in his body.
Immediately afterwards, Termu staggered and fell forward, fell heavily on the ring, spouting a large amount of blood from his mouth and nose, and could no longer stand up.Qing Cang smiled coldly, floated over, leaned over and reached out to grab it, picked up Termu's collar and threw him off the stage.
"Okay!" The crowd cheered like thunder!
Jun Ruyue, who was sitting on the east side of the arena, also clapped and cheered, only Ye Liuguang, who was sitting behind her, became more and more interested in looking at Hua Li, the leader of the Golden Knife Sect who was easily waving a folding fan on the west side of the arena.
On the third floor of the northern attic, seeing this scene, the emperor and empress also laughed and shouted "Okay" in unison like the onlookers around the ring, and even clapped their hands heavily.Yu Hongzhuang also clapped her hands excitedly and said "Okay", and turned to look at Hualixue who was sitting on the west side, just at this time Hualixue was also looking at her, the two eyes met in the distance, Hualixue was blocked by Xiangfei's bamboo curtain I don't know about Yu Hongzhuang, but I don't think much of it, but Yu Hongzhuang's heart is shaking, and her pink cheeks are stained with clouds.
"Termu!" The Tatar prince sitting on the south side of the ring saw that the number one warrior in his country, Termu, was thrown off the ring in a disastrous defeat. The guard went to pick him up and bring him over.
After bringing it over, he found that the Telmu people had passed out, so he hurriedly asked Chagambala, the national teacher next to him, to take a look.
Chaganbala raised his hand and touched several acupuncture points on Termu's body. His expression became serious, and he said, "Prince, Termu's internal organs have been injured. He must be treated quickly, or his life may be in danger. I have an acupoint here. Give him the life-continuing pill, and it will stabilize the injury for the time being."
"Then you have to serve him quickly!" Alslen said anxiously.
So Chaganbala took out a jade box from his bosom, and took out a red pill from it and gave it to Telmu who was injured and unconscious.Arlens asked people to carry Termu down first, and he and Chagambala continued to participate in the Great Zhou Martial Arts Tournament.
"National Teacher, this Golden Knife Sect's people are so hateful, you must avenge Termu!" Arslen looked at Qingcang on the stage and gritted his teeth.
Chaganbala should be, and then he jumped onto the ring with his toes on the ground.At this time, Dou De, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who presided over the martial arts competition and recruiting relatives, started counting again.However, when he counted to two, Chagambala, the national teacher of the Tatar Kingdom, had already jumped onto the ring.After introducing himself, Dou De confessed a few words, then stepped down and let the two continue the competition.
After Qingcang came to power from Chaganbala, he felt more and more power from the other party.Obviously, what the other party is practicing is a kind of cultivation method similar to the devil's religion.This way of cultivating spiritual power, when the mental power reaches a certain level, can gather the power of other dimensions for oneself to drive.If there is such a thing as ghosts in the world, then the Tatar national teacher can obviously borrow this kind of magical power.
Therefore, the onlookers around the arena would feel that since the Tatar national teacher took the stage, the clear sky began to turn cloudy, and more and more dark clouds gathered around the arena.There is a feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of the building.At the same time, I felt the surrounding temperature dropped.It's obviously summer, but I actually feel a chill on my back, with a cold feeling.
Jun Ruyue looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and asked Ye Liuguang behind her, "Is it going to rain? Oh, when I came out early this morning, it was clear that there were no clouds in the sky. I didn't expect the day to change so quickly. It's a pity." , I didn’t bring an umbrella! Will I be drenched in water for a while?”
Ye Liuguang was naturally more knowledgeable than her. He shook his head behind and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, it won't rain. It's just that some dirty things are coming to join in the fun."
