Chapter 71: Fighting for fame and fortune (available on May Day)(1/2)
After giving his improved and studied skills to Duan Silie, Yi Shuyuan stayed away from the inn and walked alone on the streets of Yuezhou City.
Today's Yuezhou City is still very lively, with many shops open all night long.
Many warriors have been eliminated, and some are very unwilling to do so, but more people and their relatives and friends are much more relaxed and watch the remaining games with a more relaxed attitude.
The young masters and various martial arts in the martial arts world not only attracted the attention of many martial arts celebrities, but also opened Yi Shuyuan's eyes.
Of course Ah Fei and Duan Silie are very powerful and are making rapid progress, but the other more than 100 people are not weak and are equally confident. The position of number one among the younger generation in the martial arts competition is not so easy to obtain.
However, Yi Shuyuan is no longer obsessed with the Mountains and Rivers Immortal Furnace Picture.
Yi Shuyuan has already understood the fairy meaning. It is best to get the real picture, but this picture is not a mortal thing. If you can't get it, it can only be said that it is the fate.
Due to fate, what can be obtained will naturally be obtained. Even if A Fei and Duan Si Lie lose, Yi Shuyuan believes that he can still get the painting.
If you can't get it, there's no need to force it.
The sound of Wuhun Tiangu resounded throughout the sky, and Yi Shuyuan understood that under such circumstances, the understanding of martial arts by highly talented people was far beyond that of before.
Each of these warriors participating in the competition is making continuous progress, and some people break through the shackles every day. It is no wonder that martial arts are prosperous.
"The attendees should have some time to rest after that, right?"
With this thought in mind, Yi Shuyuan walked into a small restaurant on the street that was still very lively.
Now there are more than a hundred people left, and everyone has suffered a lot of losses. Naturally, the conference cannot let everyone be at the limit every time they compete.
After 108 people are selected from the competition, the next step is to rest for one day. The smaller the number of people, the longer the rest time will be.
"Hey, sir, I'm really sorry. This building is already full. If you don't mind, you can wait for a while, or ask anyone who is willing to share a table..."
Seeing Yi Shuyuan enter the restaurant, the waiters around him were all busy, so the shopkeeper could only quickly say hello and apologize.
Yi Shuyuan shook his head and said.
"There's no need to make room. Just bring me a bottle of wine and a bag of peanuts. I'll take them away."
"Hey, sir, I'll prepare it for you right away!"
The shopkeeper happily agreed and hurriedly prepared it for Yi Shuyuan.
"Please wait a moment, sir. I'll be there soon."
Yi Shuyuan joked.
"Is the shopkeeper's business booming?"
"Hehe, that's good, but if these heroes can't control their temper, they will easily get into fights. There was a fight upstairs the day before yesterday, and many tables were broken."
As the competition progressed, the warriors became more and more excited. There were conflicts from time to time because they supported the people they liked, and some even started gambling privately. Naturally, they could not always be harmonious.
"Oh? How about compensation?"
The shopkeeper in front of the wine jar picked up the wine grapes and paused for a moment before pouring the wine into the jug. The jug was full. He put down the funnel and stood up with a smile. He placed the covered jug on the counter and poured another jug of wine.
Wrap the peanuts and put them together.
"Of course I'll pay, otherwise I won't dare to continue my small business! The people from the government came very quickly. Sir, the total amount is thirty cents."
When Yi Shuyuan took money out of his purse, the shopkeeper started chatting with him again.
"I can still talk to you literati. Warriors, especially warriors in remote areas, have such a bad temper..."
Yi Shuyuan smiled as he discharged the copper coins. With his current unruly appearance, he could still be recognized as a scholar.
"I am also a Jianghu person."
"ah?"
The shopkeeper looked at Yi Shuyuan again and then shook his head.
"It's not like that. I've seen a lot of people in the world these days. Sir, you look like a scholar at first glance. You don't even tie up your sleeves. It's just that your hair doesn't look like a scholar. But I don't know how to behave like you."
Admit your mistake!”
While the shopkeeper was chatting with Yi Shuyuan, people in the restaurant lobby were naturally noisy and discussing the upcoming competition.
"When it comes to the younger generation being ranked No. 1 in the world this time, I think Moyun's strongman Lu Linfeng has the greatest hope. He has quickly defeated his opponents in the past few games and is simply unstoppable!"
"Oh, no, although Lu Linfeng is powerful, how can he be so mediocre as to reach this point?"
"Yes, yes, many well-known people have been defeated by people who have never heard of it before. Wasn't Xiao Qingfu defeated by an unknown boy from Qingzhou?"
"Bang......"
A Qingzhou man slapped the table and stood up to look at the person who spoke.
"You're not well-known? Be careful what you say. People like you can't stand three moves in the hands of Master Mai!"
"Uh, calm down, everyone! Calm down, everyone! The government has repeatedly issued orders not to cause trouble, but the shop is still running, so please show your respect, heroes!"
The shopkeeper, who was still making drinks, quickly ran out to appease everyone.
"Yes, let's show off to the shopkeeper to save face!" "Okay, okay, we are all in the same camp, don't get into a tense situation..."
The peacemaker also came out to try to persuade them, but no one who had an argument first relented, and they seemed to think that someone could use their words to persuade them to stop the fight.
"What? From Qingzhou? That Mai Lingfei is indeed extraordinary, and indeed many seniors say that he is improving in every game, and his martial arts talent is really amazing..."
After saying this, the Qingzhou warrior's face looked much better, but that man still had something to say.
"But even if he is a genius, he is not satisfied with his age. If he has another ten years, he may be able to compete for the number one in the world. Now, I am afraid he still owes some..."
This couldn't be wrong, but he had to say something too much.
"Limited to the advantage of age, the people I competed with before were all yellow-mouthed kids. Won't it be a tough fight when I meet Xiao Qingfu?"
"What did you say?" "Good boy, are you saying that there is no one in Qingzhou?"
"Some people laughed at Master Mai and even deceived me that there is no one in Qingzhou——"
As soon as the voice went down, more than a dozen people appeared upstairs and downstairs. The person who just uttered the words was also stunned. He thought that the other two people were only the two at the same table.
"Teach him a lesson—"
There was a fight in the restaurant instantly, and plates of food and wine were flying everywhere.
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he shrank aside, but he was still shouting.
"Don't fight, don't fight-"
"Bang..."
A table was overturned next to him, and several people fist-bumped and then simply struggled with each other.
This is not a conflict between warriors, it is clearly a fight between idlers.
"Ouch!"
"铮" "铮" "铮"
Yi Shuyuan, who was standing at the counter, frowned, but the nature of the sword was different after he drew it.
Almost the next moment, Yi Shuyuan's fluttering clothes turned into an afterimage. In an instant, he was among the crowd. With a flick of his wide sleeves, the swords in the hands of several people who had just drawn the swords were knocked back into the scabbards.
.
Yi Shuyuan's figure rotated, and his clothes seemed to expand at this moment. In the process, his arms were directed with his sword, and his true energy moved like a dragon.
The bystanders didn't see clearly how the person moved, as if his clothes were thrown off him while he was moving and spinning.
But when Yi Shuyuan returned to the counter again, the two groups of people who had just fought had all been hit in more than one large acupuncture point, and they all stood stiffly or fell to the side.
Yi Shuyuan glanced at the shopkeeper who didn't seem to have come back to his senses. After leaving the money, he picked up his wine and peanuts and left. Only a light word came from him.
"Look, I said I knew martial arts, right?"
The shopkeeper stared blankly, as if he hadn't recovered yet, but naturally it wasn't just the shopkeeper who saw this scene.
Not to mention those who had their acupoints tapped on the first floor, there were also some people on the stairs on the second floor who were not involved in the fight. They saw the astonishing scene when Yi Shuyuan took action.
To be honest, it was only in an occasion like a martial arts conference. Otherwise, if you were to change the place and be an ordinary martial artist or ordinary person, you might even think that it was an immortal action just now.
------------------
Yi Shuyuan was walking alone on the street with a wine bottle and a paper bag filled with peanuts. After a hundred steps, he saw an official running towards the restaurant. His reaction was already very fast.
He opened the jug and smelled it. The wine was fragrant and pure, so Yi Shuyuan took a sip.
Perhaps because of the strong atmosphere of martial arts in the city, the smell of wine was tainted with a bit of a Jianghu atmosphere.
"Jianghu, this is not the Jianghu I imagined. Well, this is also a Jianghu..."
The warriors gathered in Yuezhou City naturally regard the martial arts conference as an indispensable event in their lives, but compared to the entire world, it is just a small microcosm of the struggle for fame and wealth.
Then Yi Shuyuan pondered the mood in his heart, felt a bit of pride and emotion, and strode forward while humming a song.
"Youdao is...full of passion...rewarding close friends...a thousand cups of wine...sacrifice to heaven..."
"What is right and wrong in the world, good and evil, will eventually be rewarded... Ups and downs, joys and sorrows will last endlessly..."
Walking through a certain street corner, Yi Shuyuan glanced sideways and smiled brightly. He kept walking as the wind gradually began to rise around him.
After a few breaths, several people hurriedly walked out of the street and looked around, but did not find the figure of the man just now.
To be continued...
