Chapter 48 The Swordsman on the Sword Stage(1/2)
Xue Wangyou was silent for a while and said, "I know the origin of your past relationship with Buerdong. It is understandable to have this decision, but for Li Mengzhou, a person whose identity is still unclear, is it really worth Jiang Sishou getting involved in the dispute again?"
Although Jiang Tingyu is in the capital, she is already a born person. There is a reason for her birth. Now it is very likely that Li Mengzhou, a young man, chose to enter the world again, which is a big deal for the whole world.
Xue Wangyou could have predicted that at a certain moment in the future, the peaceful world of practice will have huge waves.
Jiang Tingyu sipped wine silently and said calmly: "There is nothing worth it or not, only wishes and unwilling."
......
At noon in the deep winter, the cold wind blew down the square, with a hint of chill.
No matter how fierce the sun is, it is the most empty thing at this time.
The sword platform is located in the outer courtyard. It is not a simple platform paved with stone slabs, but is planted in the lake. It stands firmly in the center of a small lake. There are various fish in the lake, surrounded by bluestone slabs in a circular shape. Outside all sides is the square, which is not the same as the square that was tested at that time, and the area is smaller.
Eight chains run through the stone surface and hang under the sword platform. This chain is made of black iron. As long as the chain is not destroyed, the sword platform will remain as moving as a mountain, and it will steadily sit in the lake.
The sword platform is about two or three meters high from the lake, not very high. Even if you stand in the square, you can see the sword platform clearly. There are pavilions on all sides of the sword platform, which has a wider field of view and clearer viewing.
At this moment, not only were there people standing in all four pavilions, but there were also crowds of people in the square. The disciples of the inner courtyard never paid attention to the sword platform, but it was a very lively event for the disciples of the outer courtyard, so almost all the hundreds of disciples from the outer courtyard were here.
Logically speaking, the existence of the sword platform is only used for mutual exchanges between the same sects, or for some small grudges in private, and they don’t want to get too punished, so they will be resolved on the sword platform, which is not worthy of much attention. However, today’s sword platform competition is different from the past. After all, it is related to the disciple who entered the palace but cannot see the Qihai.
There was discussion in the capital, and the objections in the Sword Academy were naturally more severe. However, many disciples did not dare to say anything because the dean and the fourth senior brother did not dare to say anything, but the new disciples would not care so much.
The senior brothers and sisters were happy to watch the fun. Anyway, they were not the ones who were punished in the end. At the same time, they were also curious whether Li Mengzhou had any real skills. If he was defeated on the sword platform, the disciples of the outer courtyard would have enough reason to resist and drove Li Mengzhou down the mountain.
So this sword table competition is not a simple competition, but the key to Li Mengzhou's stay or not.
Among the people watching the game, not only He Zhengrong and Shen Jiyue, but also the disciples of Jianjiayuan also came to join in the fun. Nan Sheng looked at Li Mengzhou who was sitting on the side wiping the black green sword. Thinking of seeing Li Mengzhou in and out of the gentle village many times in the past half month, he couldn't help but say contempt: "Your popularity is really bad. Except for Jiang Zihua, the people in the entire sword courtyard seem to hate you. When they heard about this competition, they all came to join in the fun."
Li Mengzhou looked up at Nan Sheng and asked curiously: "Has I offended you?"
He was really confused. Why did this little girl sneer at Nan Sheng every time she saw him?
Nan Sheng said coldly: "You know whether you offended me or not."
Li Mengzhou recalled it seriously, but he seemed to be unable to find the answer. While frowning and thinking, he suddenly realized a question that was easy to be ignored. He looked at Nan Sheng's extremely disgusting gaze. He suddenly said, "I understand!"
Nan Sheng glanced at him sideways and said, "What do you know?"
Li Mengzhou suddenly stood up and walked towards Nan Sheng. His head lowered slightly, almost pressing against Nan Sheng's forehead, and said extremely seriously: "You like me."
"Ha?" Nan Sheng was subconsciously panicked when facing Li Mengzhou's sudden approaching, and his little face turned red.
Of course, this is because of shame and anger.
But Li Mengzhou obviously would not think so. In his perception, only shyness can be like this.
He didn't think his movements were so abrupt and Menglang, nor did he know that people would blush easily when they were angry. He just firmly determined his inner thoughts, and then combined with Nan Sheng's blushing, he became more sure of this.
He said seriously: "Although we have had intersections, they are not very close. I don't know when you fell in love with me. It may be the so-called love at first sight. But I don't know this, and I will inevitably ignore it. So if you love it but cannot, you will become angry and embarrassed. Therefore, I hate me so much and mock me when I find an opportunity. Sure enough, only this explanation can make sense."
He groped his chin, nodded silently, looked at Nan Sheng with apologies, and said, "I'm so sorry, I don't think about the love between children now, and we don't understand each other, which makes you fall in love with someone you shouldn't like."
Nan Sheng: "..."
He Zhengrong was a distance from Shen Jiyue and Li Mengzhou. Although he saw the actions of the two, he did not hear what they said. However, Lu Jiuge, who was standing next to Nan Sheng, heard every sentence clearly.
Then she was a little surprised and looked a little surprised. She clenched her fists, nodded cutely, and murmured: "So that's it."
Nan Sheng's face seemed to be bleeding at this moment. Seeing her senior sister's performance, she was even more embarrassed and angry and explained in panic: "Senior sister, don't listen to his nonsense, there is no such thing!"
Lu Jiuge looked at his junior sister meaningfully, showed a very gentle smile, and said, "Don't worry, junior sister, you are already seventeen years old, so it is normal to have feelings for a boy. Senior sister will not laugh at you."
Nan Sheng was almost crazy.
She glared at Li Mengzhou in anger, all of whom was blamed for this hateful guy, and she was thinking about something in her mind. How could this girl fall in love with you, a disciple who visits brothels every day!
Although Wenrou Village is a brothel, it is also an elegant place. Many powerful women or talented women in the capital occasionally choose to gather in Wenrou Village. Therefore, Nan Sheng has a great misunderstanding of Li Mengzhou and a great misunderstanding of Wenrou Village.
But sometimes a misunderstanding is difficult to explain clearly under the superposition of many coincidences.
Besides, Nan Sheng would not mention this matter, and Li Mengzhou would not explain it, so this misunderstanding would be even more difficult to resolve.
Lu Jiuge's idea became simpler. She always felt that her junior sister's reason for disgust with Li Mengzhou was always insufficient. If it was as Li Mengzhou said, then there was no need to manage it at all. After all, it would be unreasonable to like this.
Regarding Nan Sheng's reaction, Lu Jiuge could certainly give a perfect explanation. This was just a natural refutation of the little girl who had just fallen in love. It was not so normal.
So in the face of Nan Sheng's series of explanations, Lu Jiuge smiled and nodded, but his heart became more and more firm.
Li Mengzhou knew that he had obtained the truth and would be embarrassed to continue to stay here, so he stepped towards the sword platform.
Looking at Li Mengzhou who left without looking back, then looking at Lu Jiuge next to him with a smile on his face. Nan Sheng was so depressed that she wanted to vomit blood. She stared at Li Mengzhou's back fiercely, and her hatred for him increased to an unparalleled level.
On the other side, Zhou Luo looked at Xin Ming and instructed: "Don't underestimate Li Mengzhou too much, it's best to do your best."
Xin Ming didn't care, just nodded and walked towards the sword platform.
The two of them jumped onto the sword platform one after another, holding on to the sword in their hands, looking at each other from afar.
Lu Jiuge's kindness Nan Sheng was on a pavilion, where Ning Haoran and Jiang Zihua were already standing.
"Senior Brother Ning, Junior Brother Jiang."
Ning Haoran smiled and nodded.
"Lu...Sister Lu, hello, Senior Sister Lu." Jiang Zihua lowered her head shyly.
Lu Jiuge nodded to Jiang Zihua and smiled and said, "I heard that Junior Brother Jiang has been very close to Li Mengzhou recently, so I must be very worried about him."
Jiang Zihua was completely immersed in Lu Jiuge's beautiful smile, giggling blankly and not answering.
Ning Haoran couldn't help but slapped Jiang Zihua on the back of the head. Jiang Zihua screamed in pain, and soon reacted, coughed lightly, and said calmly: "Li Mengzhou is annoying, but he does have some skills. I don't need to worry about him, but I have to worry about Xin Ming."
Lu Jiuge said in surprise: "Does Junior Brother Jiang think Li Mengzhou will definitely win?"
Jiang Zihua said proudly: "After all, after staying with this genius for a long time, he will always have something to do with the genius."
Lu Jiuge smiled slightly, looked at the two sword-holders on the sword stage, and said, "I also look forward to Li Mengzhou's extraordinary performance."
The whole square was in chaos and there were endless discussions.
Compared to Jiang Zihua's determination and Lu Jiuge's expectations, the majority of these disciples in the Sword Academy are not optimistic about Li Mengzhou.
Some people also have the same expectations as Lu Jiuge. After all, if the facts that are determined are broken, it will be very interesting.
......
Although it was cold and clear, the sky was rarely filled with fine snow.
Li Mengzhou raised his eyes slightly, felt the coldness of the snow falling on his face for a moment, and exhaled gently.
Xin Ming looked at the young man holding a blue sword in front of him, looked at the sudden snowfall, and sneered: "It seems that Daotian is going to see you off."
Li Mengzhou had no other expression on his calm face, he just looked at the sword in his hand silently.
For him, the sword platform, which was paid attention to by the entire outer courtyard, was very uninteresting.
The reason why he agreed to go to the sword platform was that he did not want to waste time on this matter. In the current situation where the Qihai Sea cannot be seen, his time is not enough, and he cannot pay attention to step by step like other practitioners. He should devote more time to practicing and looking up books to find ways to solve the Qihai problem, rather than playing with Xin Ming for a sword platform.
But if Xin Ming did not solve the current situation, he would definitely be entangled with him, so he just thought for a moment and agreed.
This is not the first time that Li Mengzhou has ignored Xin Ming.
Xin Ming should have felt used to it, but he couldn't swallow the breath in his heart.
So he stopped talking, but handed out the sword in his hand.
Xin Ming's sword pierced straight out.
It is nothing to be so beautiful when the sword is stabbed straight, but it is obviously not the first time Xin has made such a move, but it seems that he has pierced many times with skill.
The long sword that moves forward quickly brings out a strong wind.
The fine snow falling in the air was rolled up.
The moment the fine snow fell.
Li Mengzhou seemed to randomly raise the black green sword in his hand and left Xin Ming's sword.
The two swords intersected and made a crisp buzzing sound.
The sound is very beautiful.
The picture of the fine snow rolling is also very good.
The two figures passing through the fine snow are full of charm, and the red Mars and white snow that collapse on the sword are shining, giving people a very magnificent visual experience.
Ning Haoran, who was standing in the pavilion with his hands in his arms, shining slightly in his eyes.
He looked at Li Mengzhou's starting move, including the subsequent changing track, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "In such a short time, he practiced "Snow Melting Style" to a small success. With the help of fine snow falling from the sky, he further enhanced the variability of this move. In terms of understanding, he did surpass many people."
Although "Snow Melting Style" is the sword style in "Li Jian Jing" and is a preliminary understanding, it is not easy to master and integrate.
Even if "Snow Melting Style" is the simplest in "Li Jian Jing", it is a perceptual supernatural power after all. If it can be used well, it can greatly enhance Li Mengzhou's chances of winning.
Jiang Zihua said with some jealousy: "It took me about a month to understand "Snow Melting" back then. This kid was able to perform this way in just over a dozen days, which really makes people wonder what to say."
Ning Haoran said: "Using "Snow Melting" requires the help of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Invisible qi sea will always be affected by the use of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If not, he should be able to understand it in a shorter time."
Looking at the young girl in another pavilion, Ning Haoran continued: "Shen Jiyue and He Zhengrong also realized "Snow Melting" in about the same time. If it was placed on the same level, Li Mengzhou's understanding should still be above the two of them."
Ning Haoran had a gentle face and calm demeanor. He glanced at Jiang Zihua and continued, "If you don't work hard, you will be caught up by these junior brothers soon. Don't spend too much on irrelevant things, otherwise you will not only embarrass yourself, but also lose the face of the teacher."
To be continued...
