Chapter 1 Swordsmanship
The rising heat, the fresh and fragrant soup, the thin noodles as thin as hair, and the floating green pieces bring all-round enjoyment of visual, smell and taste.
Meng Qi squatted in front of the noodle stall without any image, holding a bowl of noodle soup, eating enthusiastically, constantly making a slap sound.
Gulu Gulu, after drinking the noodle soup, he licked his lips with unsatisfactory feelings, turned to the stall owner across the street and said, "Get another bowl!"
Sure enough, rumors in the world are true. The best delicacy in Qinshan City is Dragon Beard Noodle, and the most delicious Dragon Beard Noodle is the Old Man Xie noodle stall outside the six gates of Qinshan. Today, I will be truly famous. Fresh, fragrant, vigorous, playful, and delicate, all of which are worthy!
"Okay!" Old Man Xie replied enthusiastically, and quickly mixed the soup base and asked casually, "Brother, are you waiting for the latest list of the world and people? Do you don't look like it?"
In late spring and early summer, the morning was still a little cold. Meng Qi breathed habitually and smiled with his hands, "Why don't he look like it?"
He didn't mind at all that the other party was just an old man who bought noodles at the entrance of the alley, and asked casually and naturally, unlike the rich men in the world who occupied the noodle stalls, who only care about bragging about their own cows and look down on Old Man Xie.
When doing business outside the Six Gates, most of them must be from the world. Old Man Xie rarely met a polite boy like Meng Qi and said with a smile: "Brother, you have a long sword hanging on your waist, and your back is very wrapped, and it seems that you have other weapons hidden. Normally, you must be a young knight walking in the world, but they all value their own identities. If there is no position, they would rather wait than squat down and eat directly. Only the gangsters and the dock coolie would not mind."
"But, seeing how handsome you look, you are afraid that you are from a mansion, are you?"
Meng Qi laughed: "I guessed it right, I'm a gangster."
Anyway, no one here knows themselves, so what's the use of having an image? Can you compare such delicious dragon beard noodles?
Of course, if someone recognizes himself, the image of the handsome young man must be maintained.
He is handsome and elegant. He has an Ice Sword hanging on his waist, a blue shirt, a gauze hat, and a soft wig. If he hadn't squatted in front of the noodle stall and ate it, he would have been regarded as a young man from the aristocratic family.
Since saying goodbye to Jiang Zhiwei, Meng Qi took a boat south, passed through Xizhou, and passed Longzhou, and arrived at Qinshan City, which bordered southern Longzhou, northeastern Huazhou, and southwest of Huazhou. He planned to go east first, go to the Zhenwu Sect in southern Huazhou and north of Ningzhou, and take a few days to eat and drink, exchange feelings, and then turn back, enter Huanzhou, and go to Zhou County, and find Qi Zhengyan, who was sent to the small town near Zhou County to be the chief worker. Zhang Yuanshan trees attract a lot of wind, and a family is pressed on it. How can Qi Zhengyan, who has no control, enjoy and drink and drink freely?
This area is a continuation of the landform of Huanzhou. The mountains are steep, the water flows fast, and resources are hidden in the deep mountains. It is very difficult to travel to the business, so the people are strong, but the martial style is not strong. Qin Mountain and nearby Zhoushan, Qishui, etc. are called "Three Mountains and Four Waters".
Old man Xie heard Meng Qi's answer. He smiled and shook his head. Obviously he didn't take it seriously. He picked up the dragon whisker noodles. He put it in a bowl, and added a braised egg to Meng Qi.
"Thank you." Meng Qi was not polite, and took the dragon whisker noodles, squatted in front of the noodle stall again, swallowing it voraciously, looking at the door of the "Six Doors" from the corner of his eyes.
Because of the prosperity of martial arts, the functions of the constables in the Great Jin and Northern Zhou dynasties were divided from the yamen early on, becoming six doors standing side by side with the yamen. The places where offices and work are often located in the city, one in the south and one in the north.
Meng Qi heard that the new ranking of the Heaven and Earth and Human List of the Six Gates headquarters of Shendu will be posted in Qinshan City today, so he came to wait early to see if his family is ranked and what his nickname is.
Because of the great Jin royal family, the aristocratic families and sects, they have a strong control over the states and counties, and have a complete network of contacts, including birds and fast horses. Many outdoor masters have special martial arts. After the inner world and outer world meet, they communicate remotely. They have good knowledge of the film and video, and have strange people with different roads. Therefore, the Six Gates headquarters is known as "the news of the Heaven, Earth and Human List. Within three days, the county town must be reached, and within seven days, the county town must be there."
Scream, Meng Qi squatted on the ground, eating and looking at the gate opposite, like a lazy man doing nothing on the streets and alleys.
"Brother, the list of heaven, earth and man has not yet come out?" Dada, two brown horses stopped in front of Meng Qi. One of the horse owners was a young girl with a young voice, petite and delicate face.
Another horse sat on the young man carrying a long sword. He had his hair tied up, a hero scarf, and was dressed in a black outfit with meticulous eyebrows like swords and a sharp edge on his face.
Their attitude of asking questions was to treat Meng Qi as an idle person in the world who watched the fun.
Meng Qi took a sip of the soup, looked at the two of them, and shook his head: "I didn't see it anyway."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the two left sides of the six doors open, wearing black hats, red clothes, and long swords on his waist walking out with yellow paper.
With a bang, the heroes of the world at the noodle stall were boiling. They gave silver and rushed over, as if they wanted to know the list of heaven, earth and man earlier and go back early to talk more topics.
"What's the use of running so fast? Who will really be on the list to see it in person?" The young man wearing a hero scarf looked at these ordinary people in the world with contempt.
The petite girl smiled and said, "Everyone is curious, I am also curious about what changes will happen this time. Perhaps any master or young hero will rise strongly?"
"Well, then we'll go there too." The young man said to the girl with a kind look.
The two jumped off the horse, tied them to the horse stake, and used light skills to overcome most of the people and snatched them in front.
"Brother, you run very fast." The girl then realized that Meng Qi was holding the soup noodles, eating and walking, and was actually in the forefront.
Screaming, Meng Qi stopped the chopsticks and said with a smile: "The people in the Jianghu are giving them nicknames, Scud."
Scud... The girl frowned, this nickname is so strange.
The young man snorted: "What nickname can idle people on the street have?"
Meng Qi didn't explain, and walked to the screen wall with a smile, and looked carefully. The sky list has not changed for many years, while the earth list has master ranked in the top sixty.
After reading the ground list, he transferred to the screen wall of the human list. The petite girl, the young man wearing a hero scarf, and most of the heroes in the world gathered here. For them, the gods on the sky list and the masters on the ground list are all too far away from them. Just take a look and learn about it. The key point is the human list, which is the goal that many of them strive for!
"'Invisible Sword' He Jiu, 'Count All the People' Wang Siyuan, 'Wolf King' Tie Sheng, 'Da Luo Demon Girl' Gu Xiaosang, 'Sword Qi Changhe' Yan Chong, 'Buddha Heart Palm' Xuan Zhen, 'Happy Head Tuo' Xing Yi, 'Wuwang Earth Immortal' Cao E, 'Shocked Baili' Jiang Hengchuan. 'Juejian Fairy' Jiang Zhiwei, 'Wow, Jiang Zhiwei in Xijian Pavilion ranked in the top ten not long after he went down the mountain!" As someone pronounced the nickname and name, audacity rang in front of the screen wall.
Although Jiang Zhiwei's name had long been following the disciples of Xijian Pavilion who had traveled down the mountain, and spread to the world with the elders of various sects who had watched the rookie battles, and had already been on the list of people, no one expected that she had just gone down the mountain for more than a month. It was terrifying!
When everyone looked at the record again, there was nothing to say. "Zhaori Evil Sword" is a famous left-door master who has been famous for many years. Although he has never stepped half a step into the threshold of the outdoor scene. However, his nine orifices are opened and he is experienced. He is actually fought head-on by Jiang Zhiwei and fought one-on-one. Her strength can be seen, and her subsequent record further proves this.
"This is the first time I have seen someone who has only opened the six orifices and entered the top ten." The petite girl exclaimed with her eyes shining.
The young man smiled and said, "The 'Divine Sword of Heaven', Senior Su Wuming, seemed to have entered the top ten when he was in the six orifices. It was really a master and apprentice's story."
There are two routines for the human list. If you are over 35 years old or step into a half-step outdoor scene, you will automatically go down the list, so the top nine are masters of acupoints. Jiang Zhiwei's six orifices are really eye-catching - breaking the entrance to the life and death, stepping onto the bridge of heaven and earth is the most difficult step to break through the orifice to the outside scene. Relatively speaking, as long as the foundation is correct, the intersection between the inside and outside world will be much simpler, so the half-step outdoor scene will not be included in the human list.
Of course, everyone undoubtedly believes that the top ten young talents on the list all have the ability to fight for the outdoor scene.
"Mr. Jiang must be a cold swordsman who focuses on swords, just like Senior Su Wuming and Su." The petite and delicate girl said as if she had seen Jiang Zhiwei with her own eyes.
"Uh..." Meng Qi wanted to say to her on behalf of Jiang Zhiwei, "I'm sorry, I've disappointed you, I'm not cold at all."
"What? Don't you believe it?" the girl asked unhappily with her ears.
The young man also helped and said, "Only a swordsman who is focused on the sword can have such a terrible sword technique in the six orifices. Although it is said that Ms. Jiang is a stunning figure, Ms. Leng is also a beauty."
"Okay." Meng Qi was indescribable.
The girl won the argument and was very proud. She pointed to the list and sighed: "It's a pity that only three of the top ten came from major sects and big families, which is really frustrating, so I admire Young Master Yan and Young Master Jiang the most."
"The Long River of Knife" Yan Chong and "Shocking Baili" Jiang Hengchuan, one from a small sect, the other is a casual cultivator in the martial arts world. It is indeed not easy to enter the top ten. Another one is a "Wolf King" Tiesheng, who is not from a large sect or a great family. He is a young master from the grassland in the north.
"Yes, they are our role models." Many heroes around the world nodded, and finally said, "Shaolin ended the Xuan generation and started the Zhen generation for seven or eight years. Why is there no one on the Zhen generation still on the list?"
Shaolin rules that all disciples must first enter the martial monks' academy to observe their minds before they can become the direct descendants. Therefore, they have unified generations that cannot be surpassed. For example, before the Zhen generation was started, if an older monk of the Xuan generation had a fancy to any disciple, he could only accept disciples on behalf of his master.
This was the case with Xuanbei. The Wuzi generation had already ended, and the Xuan generation was almost over, so the abbot was recruited to his disciples and maintained his seniority.
"Seven or eight years is not long. The oldest person in the Zhen generation is only about twenty years old. Shaolin magic skills are all solid based on their solid foundation, bright prospects, and slow progress. Hey, there is a Shaolin abandoned disciple of the Zhen generation who actually ranked 33rd!" Someone said in surprise.
He was still looking at Meng Qi who was introduced before, and he quickly looked over after hearing this. When he saw this, his whole face turned black and he muttered to himself: "Thunder Sword Mad Monk, Brutal King Kong, Thunder Sword Mad Monk, Brutal King Kong..."
"It is really terrible that this Shaolin abandoned disciple can be killed by killing two masters of the Nine Orifices and repel one from the front!" The young man wearing a hero scarf exclaimed, "And he can also summon Tianlei! How could such a talented disciple become an abandoned disciple?"
"I don't know, but judging from the nickname, this Zhending monk must have dark skin, bulging muscles, eight feet tall, and eight feet waist!" The petite and delicate girl looked positive.
Bachi, you are x! Meng Qi was swearing in his heart, and he wanted to change his itinerary. He went to the headquarters of the Six Gate of Shendu to talk to the person who planned the list.
"Brother, why are you stupid?" The girl read the introduction of the talented man on the list of people in one breath and greeted him with extraordinary satisfaction. "Today, the head of Zengxian Sect is on his fiftieth birthday. He will hold a banquet to entertain fellow workers in the world. Why not join in the fun? I heard that Huang Yun, who is expected to enter the list of people, will personally represent the "Qinshan Sword Sect" to challenge, fulfill the three-year agreement, and compete for the temporary management of the strange stones outside the sky."
She just "debate" and won Meng Qi, which is considered a chance meeting and a little friendship. Of course, the premise is that Meng Qi is very good.
It is expected to enter the human list, challenge, strange stones outside the sky, flowing water mat... These terms penetrated Meng Qi's ears, making him feel moved, and he smiled and said, "I'm just thinking about it."
He is a person who likes to join in the fun, and he watches more competitions and sees more martial arts tricks, which will help his Dugu Nine Swords improve.
Also, those two nicknames are so hurtful. Only food can heal my inner pain! (To be continued...)
