() On this day, the sky is clear and the sunshine is warm.
Although it is approaching the severe cold winter, the atmosphere at the top of Mount Tai's Tianzhu Peak is lively. There are more than a dozen courtyards of different sizes with people flowing in a hurry. The disciples, according to their respective sects, are either wearing gray cotton robes or long black coats or
There were blue brocade jackets, and even nuns wearing monk hats and silk robes, but none of them were carrying long swords. They were running around with joy and excitement, and their faces were excited, as if something happy and joyful was about to happen.
generally.
In the small square in front of the Dongyue Hall, a few cloth strips were used to encircle an open space. Many disciples were gathering around, listening to Elder Lu of the Taishan Sect explaining the rules of the arena.
Naturally, Liu Meng couldn't miss a seat for such a lively event. He followed a few senior brothers and mingled in the crowd, standing there listening to Elder Lu's explanation while looking around at the disciples of each sect. After a round of inspection, he unfortunately found that, except for a few of the Hengshan sect,
Except for the female disciples who lead the practice, the rest are all singles. I can’t help but think of the summary made by the third oldest Pang Buyu: Since ancient times, there have been no beauties in the Five Mountains, just like there is no rain in the desert. Suddenly, there is a heavy rain one year, and all the raindrops are women.
Ni.
The rules are very detailed. It is said that they were exclusive rules for disciple competitions during the heyday decades ago. Several masters have modified them according to them. It is nothing more than unity first, friendship second, performance third...these are the same old rules.
As for those who were really concerned about the offensive and defensive arena itself, Liu Meng probably heard a few points.
First of all, the disciples participating in the offensive and defensive arena must be the younger generation of the Wuyue Sword Sect. The top disciples of each sect are not allowed to participate, but they can serve as referees to control the arena.
Secondly, no more than five disciples are allowed to be the masters of the ring every day. Even if they win every game, they are not allowed to play more than three times in a row. If they lose once, they will be replaced.
Finally, the number of wins and losses is calculated every day. After four days of the round, the disciple with the highest number of wins will receive the greatest honor of being rewarded with two Lao Baigan.
This kind of gameplay, like a horse racing arena, is much better than a one-on-one comparison of strength. To use a common saying, it is entertaining and educational, allowing the disciples to have a way to vent their excess energy.
There are only six disciples in the Hengshan sect. Excluding the eldest, the remaining five are just enough to hold the ring for a day. However, the fifth prince is still weak in martial arts and needs to practice more diligently. After everyone's discussion, they were arranged
A job of recording and spying on information about his disciples.
The strategy that was discussed was as follows. We should keep a low profile first and not participate in the challenge first. Instead, we should carefully observe the martial arts levels of the disciples of other sects. After two or three days, we would then collectively sign up to defend the challenge. At that time, the martial arts level would be determined according to the level of the disciples.
, arrange the order of appearance accordingly. This approach will definitely greatly improve the winning rate, just as the master uncle Hu Yuanlin asked: "The Hengshan faction does not want to compete for the first place, but it must not be the last."
As the host, the Taishan sect will naturally be responsible for guarding the ring on the first day. If the other disciples want to attack, they can submit an application to the referee who is the three head disciples of the Hengshan sect, Taishan sect, and Hengshan sect that day, and then line up.
They went to the ring to discuss each other one by one.
Although many people who practice martial arts compete with each other to win, under the eyes of the leaders and elders of each sect, the disciples still dare not show off. The Taishan sect guard stood alone on the field waiting for a long time, but there was no one.
Enter the arena to attack. There are a few people who are eager to try, but they are also trying to be patient, hoping that others will be the first to take the lead.
While a group of people were waiting for each other, a whistle suddenly came from the bottom of the peak, several times in succession, and the voices were urgent. When the disciples of the Taishan Sect heard this, their faces changed drastically, and they all looked towards
Elder Lu, who was standing on the sidelines, also had a serious look on his face and told all the disciples: "Send warning from the bottom of the peak. There may be enemies coming up the mountain. Please don't wander around and wait for the arrangements of the leaders."
After Elder Lu finished speaking, he asked Guang Guangzi, the great disciple of the Taishan Sect, to perform Qing Gong together and rush towards the direction where the whistle came from.
After hearing the report, several sect leaders came out to investigate. Knowing that Elder Lu had already led people to check, they immediately ordered the disciples to prepare for defense to prevent the enemy from attacking.
The disciples from the other sects here, under the call of their respective senior brothers, gathered in piles according to the sword formation, and then led them to defend the two peak climbing paths. Liu Meng followed several senior brothers to the back peak.
, standing by a narrow mountain road, waiting quietly.
About half an hour later, a disciple from the Taishan Sect came to send a message, asking the disciples who were guarding here to go down the mountain along the path and search for suspicious people along the way. Why Buwei stepped forward and asked, and the disciple said: "Uncle Lu sent this message
According to the news, a Shaolin monk pretending to be a woodcutter was discovered by the guards at the foot of the peak and fled in a hurry. However, they did not know the route to Mount Tai and ran in the wrong direction. Master Lu judged that they were still hiding in Tianzhu Peak, so the leader ordered everyone to go down the mountain to search.
Let these bald guys go!"
The monks of the Shaolin Temple came to Mount Tai in disguise? Everyone in the Hengshan Sect knew that they were at odds with the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, but they didn’t expect that the other party would be so bold and arrogant. These monks obviously followed them all the way, but they couldn’t find them after entering Mount Tai.
When I arrived at the Taishan station, I thought of pretending to be a woodcutter and running around in the mountains.
The monk from the Shaolin Temple followed him all the way, and finally went up the mountain to spy on him. Needless to say, what was his intention? It is no wonder that several masters, Huo Da, ordered a search of the mountain. They really wanted to let these monks go. Let’s not talk about the safety of Tianzhu Peak.
How can the Wuyue Sword Sect have the dignity to talk about revival and regain its prestige? Why not make the world laugh to death!
At that moment, Liu Meng, He Buwei and other five disciples of the Hengshan Sect, led by the disciples of the Taishan Sect who came to convey the message, went down the mountain along the Houfeng path, rushed all the way to the fork near Sanzhetan, and blocked the entrance to Xiatian Zhufeng.
The only exit, then hide beside this three-way intersection and wait for someone to pass by.
Tianzhu Peak is located in the back mountain of Mount Tai. It is steep and towering, and there are no scenic spots. There are very few tourists here at ordinary times. The mountain people only come here to collect medicines in exchange for money. How can they climb to such a peak to collect firewood? So these monks
The disciples of the Taishan sect who served as sentinels saw through the talent at once, and then fled in panic. They panicked and chose their own way, and got lost on the steep and dangerous peaks.
At this time, Liu Meng was lying on the boulder beside the road. After listening to Brother Fang from the Taishan Sect describing the scene of discovering the enemy, Liu Meng raised his head and looked at the towering mountain peaks. He couldn't help but wonder how such a huge back mountain could be managed with just a few dozen people.
Disciple, it must be very difficult to find these monks. Finding a needle in a haystack is a bit exaggerated, but it is still as difficult as finding soybeans in a rice vat.
But Senior Brother Fang is full of confidence. Although Daotianzhu Peak is tall, there are only a few places where people can hide. As long as they guard the key passes of the lower peak, one in front and one behind, these bald heads will be the ones on the river beach.
The turtle can't run away no matter what.
Although Liu Meng and others did not believe it, Senior Brother Fang was so confident that he finally made a promise that he would not be able to find the whereabouts of the bald men before dark, and that he would secretly go down the mountain to buy high-quality Fen wine for everyone to drink.
In fact, it was not dark yet, just after noon, when the few people guarding Sanzhetan were bored, suddenly a dark figure came out from the corner of the nearly vertical hiking trail, holding on to the wood in the cracks of the rocks.
Pile, slowly walk down step by step.
Several people who had been waiting anxiously were overjoyed. They suppressed their excitement and followed the previously planned strategy. They waited until the shadow was more than halfway down and it was not easy to turn around and escape. Then they appeared one after another and pressed their palms strictly.
Following the instructions of the disciples, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, they carefully formed a formation of four elephants to block the exit of the path. For a moment, the sword light flashed and shouts broke out, frightening the black figure to the point of freezing on the spot.
