The gatekeeper immediately bent down, cupped his fists, and returned the greeting: "Old sir, please get up quickly. I'm sorry that I can't obey what you said. It's not that I won't sell you this face, but it's just that it's hard to disobey your order. If you can't pass through the Giant Sword Gate, then you can't do it."
You are not allowed to enter the villa. This is an old rule that has been established since the establishment of Zhujian Villa. I am a small villager, how can I dare to knowingly break the law? If I let you go, and the higher ups blame you, even if I have a few lives, it will not be enough.
pay."
"My friend, rules are dead but people are alive. The rules are set for people to change. It doesn't matter if you can't make the decision. You can do it for me and invite the people in the villa who can take care of this matter to come over and let them change it.
I'll talk to him face to face," Qian Wagguan said without giving up.
"Haha, this rule was set by the owner of the village. The only one who can take care of this matter is his old man. He is busy with affairs, so I think it's better not to disturb him for such a trivial matter." The guard said with an apologetic smile.
"Except for the owner of your village, is there no one else who can accommodate this matter?"
"No, except for the village owner, no one dares to break this rule. Old gentleman, please don't embarrass me. But don't be too discouraged. There is an 'Iron Mountain Hill' five miles south from here.
"There are many inns on the post. During your son's martial arts competition, you can move there to rest and wait for your son's good news." The guard moved his hand and pointed to the intersection, not only pointing out a clear way for these people, but also getting off.
An eviction order was issued.
Money can make all the difference, but no matter how much money there is, there will be times when it is not easy to use. Qian Wagguan sighed and had no choice but to give up. He turned back and gave a few words to his son, and then to several bodyguards.
A few words. Qian Wanjin hugged his father and threatened to defeat the heroes and obtain the Zichu Sword.
The father and son said goodbye in front of Jujian Gate. Qian Wanjin led two bodyguards into the villa, while Qian Wanguan left the villa with the remaining people.
Zhao Zheng hated what the Qian family and his son had done. After the Qian family and his son had gone far away, he led the horse to the Jujian Gate. He reached into his arms, took out the qualification token, and handed it to several gate guards.
One person watches.
The guard took the token and looked at it. He nodded and recognized the authenticity. He asked: "This young hero has a great name. Please give me a reward of ten thousand yuan."
"The surname is Zhao, and the single name is Zheng." Zhao Zheng replied.
"It turns out that Young Master Zhao is here. I'm sorry to welcome you from afar, but I hope you can atone for your sins. Thank you very much for coming here and participating in this 'Zi Chu Sword Competition'." The guard leaned back and said, "Young Master, please follow me.
I will take you into the villa and rest in the residence specially designed to entertain the challengers."
"Please lead the way." Zhao Zheng nodded.
Someone immediately stepped forward and took the horse held by Zhao Zheng. He led it to a small road next to it. It was difficult for even people to walk through the Giant Sword Gate, let alone these animals. If the animals approached the Giant Sword Gate,
It must be frightened.
Zhao Zheng raised his head and looked up at the Giant Sword Gate, vaguely feeling the pressure coming from the two giant stone swords.
"As a young hero, you must have heard of the Giant Sword Sect when you are involved in the martial arts world, right?" asked the guard responsible for leading Zhao Zheng inside.
"I have heard about this for a long time. I heard that when your village was established, the owner of the iron village inserted the fragments of two high-grade swords into the two stone sculptures, so that the stone sculptures had sword spirits and would exert pressure on passers-by. Who would
If you can't withstand this pressure, you won't be able to enter the villa." Zhao Zheng replied.
"That's right. Even though these two stone sculptures are inconspicuous, they have blocked many people who want to enter the villa. But this shouldn't be a problem for you. You must be very powerful if you can get the token from Master Sword Slave.
With your ability, it will be easy to pass through this giant sword gate."
"You will know after you try it." Zhao Zheng gathered his mind and strode towards the Giant Sword Gate. The closer he got, the clearer and stronger the pressure became, as if there were two living lions roaring at him.
He frowned, resisting the pressure, and walked through the Giant Sword Gate step by step. After walking through, the pressure quickly disappeared.
The guard cupped his fists and congratulated Zhao Zheng a few words, led Zhao Zheng's horse over and led the way. The road ahead was smooth and there were no other difficulties. After walking for about two miles, some houses and buildings gradually appeared on both sides in front of him, including some for worship.
There are houses where people live, workshops for making swords, and some warehouses.
The guard introduced it as he walked, telling some things about the competition for Zichu Sword and all the rules in the village.
The Zhujian Villa attaches great importance to this grand martial arts competition. It sends out hero posts widely and invites heroes from all over the world to come to the Villa as guests. Firstly, it serves as a witness, and secondly, it enhances the reputation of the Villa.
The more people come, the more things will naturally happen. The houses of Zhujian Villa are limited and cannot accommodate so many people, so we can only restrict the number of accompanying persons who come. Only a few guests are allowed in, and the servants or entourage brought by the guests
Wait, you have to find another place to live.
In addition, grievances and grudges in the world are also a troublesome thing. Many visiting guests always have gaps between them and become extremely jealous when they meet. For such guests, we can only arrange them as far away as possible to avoid conflicts.
During the period when the ring competition is being held, no matter whether they are visiting guests or contestants, fighting in private is strictly prohibited, and offenders will be expelled from the villa. As for sneaking and stealing, of course, it is also strictly prohibited.
For the challengers, the villa has its own arrangement. Before the challenge is officially held, the challengers will be placed in a unified residence, given preferential treatment, and the safety of these challenges will be protected.
In addition to these main things, there are many trivial matters. The guard said a lot of things on the way, and Zhao Zheng kept them all in mind to avoid getting into trouble.
While talking, the two of them arrived at a building complex located at a mountain col. There were about twenty houses around it. The guard claimed that this was a place specially reserved for fighters to live. As for the allocation of houses, and other
All matters are managed by a person called "Guanshi Zhu".
The guard led Zhao Zheng to a door and knocked on the door. Someone in the room quickly answered and opened the door.
The person who opened the door was the so-called Manager Zhu. He was in his forties, with a plump body, a red face, and a pleasant smile. He was wearing an elegant robe, and it seemed that he was not very good at martial arts. The guard met with Manager Zhu and gave a brief explanation.
After a moment, Zhao Zheng completed his mission and stood up to leave.
Zhao Zheng stepped forward, fisted at Manager Zhu, and said hello.
Manager Zhu quickly returned the gift, asked for the bronze medal from Zhao Zheng, and kept it in his sleeve. He called the village servants, took Zhao Zheng's horses away, and sent them to the stables in the col to raise them on his behalf. After settling the horses,
He led Zhao Zheng deep into the mountain col, looking for a place to live.
Most of the twenty-odd challengers have arrived. Only a small half of the houses are empty. The good houses have basically been selected, and the remaining ones are houses with poor lighting or small areas. Zhu
The steward pointed out the remaining houses to Zhao Zheng and asked Zhao Zheng to choose on his own.
Zhao Zheng took a few glances and chose a house at random. He didn't choose carefully. Anyway, no matter which house he lived in, it was much better than living in the wild.
Manager Zhu asked: "Young Master Zhao, besides the house, do you have any other requirements?"
"I don't have many requests, but I want to ask you about something." Zhao Zhengdao.
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll tell you everything I know."
"I would like to ask if Jiang Ming, Chu Tian, and Mo Yunzi, who are also challengers like me, have arrived here?"
"Jiang Ming and Mo Yunzi have already arrived and are living in these two houses respectively." Manager Zhu raised his fingers twice and told them where they were, and then continued, "As for the rules swordsman, Chu Tian
It’s not here yet, but it’s probably coming soon. You specifically mentioned the names of these three young heroes, so you must be friends with them, right?”
"Well, I have some friendship with Jiang Ming and Chu Tian." Zhao Zheng replied vaguely.
Manager Zhu rolled his eyes and understood what Zhao Zheng meant. Zhao Zheng only mentioned the names of the two people, but did not mention Mo Yunzi. The subtext meant that he and Mo Yunzi were not friends, but enemies. Since they were enemies,
The two of them had to live far apart so that he could have some peace and quiet.
"Master Mo lives here, one building away from yours. Do you want to choose another place to live?" Manager Zhu asked tentatively.
"There's no need. If we live far away, it seems like I'm afraid of him." Zhao Zheng flatly refused and glanced at the house where Mo Yunzi was.
"Then I'm talking too much." Manager Zhu apologized with a smile.
Zhao Zheng did not want to dwell on the topic of Mo Yunzi, so he asked instead: "Manager Zhu, I want to ask you about a few people, including Chasing the Wind Yuanyangxia, Li Yuanzhan and his wife, and the flying female Yaksha. Hua Xiang
Rong, and Shen Luoxia from Qibao County, have these people come to your village as guests?"
"These people you mentioned, I only recognize Li Yuanzhan, Li Daxia, and Senior Hua Xiangronghua. As for who Shen Luoxia is, I forgive my ignorance and have never heard of it. I basically remember all the guests who came here. The ones you mentioned
They have not come to our village, but if they come to visit in the future, I will definitely inform you." Manager Zhu replied.
"Oh, forget it if you don't come, I'm just asking casually." Zhao Zheng nodded.
While talking, the two of them walked to the place. Manager Zhu took out a bunch of keys from his waist, unlocked the door, and opened the door. Zhao Zheng stepped into the room and looked around. Although the room was not big, it was very clean. There were tables, chairs, and benches.
Everything is new and quite satisfactory.
Manager Zhu claimed that there would be a special person to deliver the meal, and said a few words, please resign and leave.
Zhao Zheng saw off Manager Zhu and walked around the house several times. Then he found a cabinet and put his luggage bag in. He left the house and went straight to the house where Jiang Ming was, knocking on the door.
The door rang. Someone in the room responded immediately. A disciple of the Wudang Sect opened the door. This man recognized Zhao Zheng and welcomed Zhao Zheng into the room with a smile.
Jiang Ming and a group of Wudang disciples were all in the house. There were six people in total, except Jiang Ming's father Jiang Yong was missing.
Jiang Ming took the lead in welcoming Zhao Zheng and was very polite to Zhao Zheng.
The two parties exchanged a few words, and Zhao Zheng asked why Jiang Yong was not there. The disciples rushed to answer first, and it turned out that Jiang Yong had returned to the sect to deliver news.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Zheng changed the topic and invited Jiang Ming to talk alone.
Jiang Ming saw that Zhao Zheng looked serious and seemed to have something very important, so he waved his hand and sent away all the brothers.
There were only two of them left in the room. Jiang Ming asked curiously: "Young Master Zhao, I don't know why you have something important and you insist on talking to me alone."
"That's what happened. A few days ago, I was ambushed by assassins on the way to Sword Forging Villa. There were two assassins in total. They were dressed in black and both had good skills. After a fight, I killed one
Assassin, I captured an assassin and wanted to keep him alive for questioning. As a result, the assassin bit the wax pill in his mouth and committed suicide by taking poison. As far as I know, only the assassins of Yeyuemen would regard death like this. You guys
A leader of the Wudang Sect was killed by an assassin from the Yeyue Sect. They must be investigating the matter with all their strength. I think the fact that I was attacked will be of some help to you, so I came here to inform you." Zhao Zheng explained.
"I see, this news is indeed very useful to us. Thank you for taking the trouble to come and tell us. Send Buddha to the West and help people to the end. I hope you can tell the whole story in detail. I'll see if I can get anything.
Clues so that we can inform the sect in the future." Jiang Ming said with bright eyes.
Zhao Zheng nodded and told the detailed story of that time without hiding anything.
After Jiang Ming frowned and listened, he secretly noted it down and thanked him again.
"That's all I want to say. If there's nothing else to do, I'll get up and leave, so as not to disturb your senior brothers' chat." Zhao Zheng stood up and said.
"Okay, Mr. Zhao, please excuse me. I'll see you off." Jiang Ming also stood up.
The two of them walked out of the room together and entered the living room. Zhao Zheng also said goodbye to everyone in the Wudang Clan in the living room. Everyone sent him out together.
Among the group of challengers, Zhao Zheng only knew a friend of Jiang Ming. After coming out, he went directly back to his residence.
Later, someone suddenly knocked on Zhao Zheng's door.
Zhao Zheng raised his head and glanced at the sun outside, realizing that it was still some time before dinner, so he speculated that the person coming was not a servant delivering food.
"Excuse me, is Shaoxia Zhao in the house? I have something to disturb you, and I hope you can open the door." The person who knocked on the door said loudly.
"Who is coming?" Zhao Zheng asked rhetorically.
"I am also a boxer like you. My name is Qian Wanjin. I am nicknamed Little Rich Man by people in the world. I wonder if you have heard of it."
Zhao Zheng frowned when he heard this. He was almost killed by an assassin hired by the Qian family and his son a few days ago. He was full of hostility towards the father and son. It would be nice not to seek bad luck for the father and son. Unexpectedly, Qian Wanjin came to the door himself.
He wanted to drive away Qian Wanjin directly, but then he thought, it would be better to see what kind of medicine was sold in Qian Wanjin's gourd, so he suppressed his anger.
"It turns out to be Qian Shaoxia. I've heard the name for a long time and it's like thunder. I will open the door for you right now." Zhao Zheng stopped practicing, got out of bed, walked to the door of the house, and opened the door.
Qian Wanjin was standing outside, followed by two bodyguards. One of the bodyguards was carrying a heavy bag. Qian Wanjin rummaged in the bag for a while and took out a beautifully packaged dark blue brocade box.
He handed it to Zhao Zheng and said with a smile: "It's the first time we meet, it's not respectful, but I hope you'll accept it."
"No reward for no merit, how could I ask for your gift just after we met? Qian Shaoxia should take the gift back." Zhao Zheng waved his hand and tried to be polite.
"Etiquette is light but affection is heavy. I just want to make friends with Zhao Shaoxia, and I hope I can reward you with a favor." Qian Wanjin said with a smile on his face. He was slightly fat and had a round face, which made him look more like
A businessman, not a warrior.
"You can make friends, but you can't accept gifts randomly. You should take them back. If you insist on giving me gifts, you are deliberately trying to embarrass me." Zhao Zheng lowered his face slightly and made it clear that he would never accept gifts.
decision.
"Well, if that's the case, I won't force it, so as not to offend you." Qian Wanjin had no choice but to take the gift back angrily and stuff it back into the bag held by the bodyguard behind him.
"If Qian Shaoxia has something to do, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush."
"Haha, my throat is a little thirsty. I wonder if I can go into your house to ask for a drink of water before I say anything?" Qian Wanjin pointed to the house, meaning that he wanted to go in to discuss.
"I'm rude, Qian Shaoxia, please come inside." Zhao Zheng turned sideways, Qian Shaoxia nodded with a smile, and led the two bodyguards into the house.
Zhao Zheng knew that Qian Wanjin didn't really come in just to drink water, so he didn't show any courtesy. After entering the house, he silently waited for Qian Wanjin's next words.
Qian Wanjin turned around, cleared his throat, and said in a low voice: "Zhao Shaoxia, I saw that you were quick to talk, so I just said it. In fact, I came here to make a deal with you."
Zhao Zhengcai had just arrived at the fifth level, and he deliberately concealed the matter from other challengers so that he could catch his enemies off guard in the arena in the future. Therefore, he did not show off his voice transmission method, but asked directly: "What's the deal?"
Qian Wanjin was slightly startled when he saw that Zhao Zheng could not transmit the message, but he soon returned to normal and did not pay too much attention. Among the several challengers, there were several fourth-level heavenly warriors. Of course, these people could not transmit the message.
The method of sound. He put on a smile and continued to transmit the sound: "If we meet in the ring in the future, I hope that the young hero can be noble and make it easier for me to win. As a thank you, I will pay you afterwards.
I will give you thirty thousand taels of silver as a thank you gift and I will never break my promise."
After Zhao Zheng heard this, he suddenly realized that it turned out that Qian Wanjin came to bribe him to make him lose on purpose in the ring. Presumably Qian Wanjin not only found him, but also other competitors, and wanted to bring everyone down.
After some bribery. Of course he would not agree to such a ridiculous request. He refused with regret and said: "This deal is too overwhelming. I'm sorry that I can't accept it. Qian Shaoxia, please take it back."
"Young Master Zhao, don't refuse in a hurry. You might as well think about it again. If you think the money is small, I can add some more."
"Money is indeed a good thing, but not everything can be bought with money."
"Haha, since Zhao Shaoxia can't accept it, let's forget it. Business is not a business, and we will still be friends when we meet in the world. If you encounter anything in the future, you can come to me or my family for help.
Our Qian family likes to make friends in the world the most." Qian Wanjin was not annoyed and still had a smile on his face.
Zhao Zheng already knew about the medicine in Qian Wanjin's gourd and was not interested in talking to Qian Wanjin anymore. He stopped answering and just nodded slightly.
Qian Wanjin did not ask for trouble, said goodbye with a smile, and left with two powerful bodyguards.
Zhao Zheng sent away the guests, closed the door, and continued to meditate and rest.
In this arena competition, the eight immortals who participated in the competition each showed their abilities. Some people won by force, and many people, like Qian Wanjin, used some unorthodox methods to win.
It is too difficult to defeat all the challengers, stand out from the crowd, and win the Zi Chu Sword. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
