On August 15th, at three o'clock in the morning, I returned to the third floor of the building - "Thinking of Dirty Residence".
Even during the day, the light in this layer is still very dim, and there is always a strange fragrance in the air.
The strange fragrance is not like spices, nor powder, nor is it like the fragrance of flowers and plants... If I have to describe it, it is more like the naturally occurring smell of some kind of animal, and smelling it will make people feel a little nauseous.
"Master, Mr. Wu is here." You Jing skillfully led Lao Wu to the door of a bedroom, and announced through the door in a medium tone.
Not long after, a man's voice came from the door: "Let him come in."
After receiving the order, You Jing reached out and pushed the door open.
But he himself didn't take a step forward. He just stood by the door, turned around and said to the old martial artist who was following him: "Please."
Lao Wu calmed down for a moment, swallowed his saliva, and then stepped through the door.
Since becoming Shen Youran's confidant, Lao Wu has been coming here several times a month, but to this day, he still feels that walking here is a creepy thing.
The light inside the room was darker than the corridor outside. Even with the eyesight of a martial arts practitioner like Lao Wu, he could only barely see the outlines of things in the room, and could not see the details at all.
Of course, this is what the owner here wants - he doesn't want anyone to see his face clearly.
"Wu meets the Lord." After Lao Wu took a few steps inside, he stamped his feet and bowed, no longer moving forward.
Almost as soon as he spoke, You Jing behind him also closed the door.
In the dark, people's hearing becomes more acute, so Lao Wu soon clearly heard the sound of You Jing's leaving footsteps.
"Lao Wu..." After You Jing walked away, the "Lord" who was in the dark slowly spoke to Lao Wu, "Youran, how are you doing lately?"
Lao Wu stood on the spot and responded respectfully: "Respected Master, thanks to your blessing, everything is well with the young leader."
"Hmm." The Lord pondered for a moment and then said, "He asked you to come because he had something to tell me, right?"
"Yes." Lao Wu replied, "Young Gang Leader asked me to report to you that the plan went very smoothly. At three o'clock yesterday, he had placed the seedlings of 'Bliss Gu' in the tea and induced everyone to drink it. Today, twelve hours have passed, and no one has noticed anything unusual... So the young gang leader asked me to come and report to the Lord while everyone is paying attention to the competition."
After hearing this, the Lord chuckled lightly.
After a short silence, he replied: "No, not 'everyone'."
These words made Lao Wu excited and his scalp went numb: "Lord! I..."
"I know, you have repeatedly confirmed that you are not being followed." The Lord knew what Lao Wu was going to say, and gave the reply before he said it, "I don't blame you, nor am I doubting you, you don't want to Afraid."
Only halfway through what he said, You Jing's footsteps sounded again outside the door.
Ta,ta,ta...
The footsteps sounded from far away to near, neither fast nor slow.
Tuk-tuk...tuk-tuk...
But if you listen carefully, you can notice that besides the footsteps, there are other sounds - a very subtle sound of liquid dripping on the floor.
At this moment, a chill ran down Lao Wu's spine. He suddenly felt that time passed very slowly, as if it took You Jing an hour to walk the dozen steps to the door.
"Master." After You Jing came to the door, he stopped and said, "Do you want to take a look?"
Tuk-tuk...tuk-tuk...
You Jing's footsteps stopped, but the sound of water dripping did not.
"Just take a look," the Lord replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, You Jing opened the door again.
At this time, Lao Wu also turned his face slightly and glanced towards the door with his peripheral vision.
All I could see was... in the dim light, You Jing's figure stood at the door with his back to the light, holding a bleeding human head in his hand.
In other words, in the time it took for Lao Wu and the Lord to say those few words, You Jing had already killed someone and cut off that person's head, and the whole process made less noise than him walking.
The sound of footsteps was louder.
"After a total of two moves, the opponent used the internal strength of the Five Spirits Sect." You Jing said while showing the head to the Lord in the room, "The skill is just average, I guess he is not a famous person.
.”
"Hmm...Okay." The Lord agreed casually, stared at the head in the darkness for a moment, and then turned to Lao Wu, "Old Wu, if there is nothing else, you should go back first.
By the way, tell Youran for me that he is doing a great job... Everything will go according to plan tomorrow night at 12:00."
"Yes." When Lao Wu replied this word, the cold sweat on his face had flowed from his forehead to the tip of his nose.
Even though the other party had said that he could go back, Lao Wu still didn't dare to relax even before he actually walked out of here.
"Oh, by the way." Just when Lao Wu turned around and was about to leave, the Lord suddenly added, "About the fact that you were followed by people from the Five Spirits Sect..." He seemed to want to do so intentionally.
As if to scare Lao Wu, he paused slightly before saying, "...you don't need to take it to heart, anyway, You Jing has already taken care of it for you; if you are willing to tell You Ran, just say, no
If you like to say it, you won’t say it.”
"No, no, no..." The few seconds of pause just now almost made Lao Wu pee. After the Lord finished speaking, Lao Wu quickly replied with fear and fear, "This is an oversight by my subordinates. How dare I say this to you?"
The young gang leader is hiding it."
"Ha..." The Lord smiled, because he got the response he wanted, "Okay." He raised his voice slightly again and said to You Jing at the door, "You Jing, see off the guests first, we've finished...
…Remember to wash the floor.”
…………
Let’s talk about two things, let’s go back to the Gate of Justice.
It was almost noon, and the third round of the martial arts test was finally almost over.
Because there are more people in the first few rounds, it will naturally take longer. It is good to be able to complete three rounds in one morning; in the later rounds, there will be fewer people, and the process will speed up.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Next, is the last game of the third round, between Qingyuan Zhongyimen Guo Cong and Hangzhou Sun Yixie."
When the sun climbed directly above the flagpole, the host came on stage to announce the opponent for the last competition in the morning.
Sun Yixie's name is on the far right of the second to last row of the promotion table, so if he can advance all the way, he will always play in the last game of each round.
As for his opponent in this round, Guo Cong, he had a bye in the first two rounds because he achieved a decent score in the literary test. This is his first appearance.
This Guo Cong is very different from Li Yuan.
Li Yuan is a stepping stone in this Young Heroes Association, both civil and military, but Guo Cong... using a current concept, he is a "seed player".
If nothing else, there is a big gap between Guo Cong's sect and Li Yuan's.
The "four gates and three gangs" mentioned many times in this article are, specifically, Cangzhou Xingyi Gate, Luoyang Zhengyi Gate, Qingyuan Zhongyi Gate, Huai'an Chivalry Gate, Salt Gang, Cao Gang and Tea Gang.
These seven gangs are the backbone of today's martial arts world. Comparing a sect of the size of the Iron Fist Sect to them is like a convenience store compared to a business mall. The scale is not even the slightest bit different.
And Guo Cong is the representative of the younger generation of Zhongyi Sect in Qingyuan this time.
He started practicing martial arts when he was five years old, and achieved success at the age of fifteen. This year, he is eighteen years old, and he has already learned all the advanced martial arts in Zhongyi Sect. Many disciples in their thirties and forties are not his.
Opponent; it can be said that this is the time when he is young and arrogant and high-spirited.
This time when he came to Luoyang to participate in the Young Heroes Association, Guo Cong undoubtedly came with the mentality of winning the championship. Before today, except for Lin Yuancheng from Xingyimen in Cangzhou, he had not paid attention to other competitors at all.
Of course, after watching this morning's martial arts competition, another Lei Buji was stuck in his eyes, and it was the kind that couldn't be pulled out after being stuck in. When he thought about the possibility of having to fight Lei Buji in the subsequent martial arts test,
On the other hand, Guo Cong’s feet were shaking.
But that's another thing. The person he's facing now is Sun Yixie, and Sun Yixie's performance so far... obviously doesn't impress Guo Cong.
"drink!"
It was late and then fast. Before the host finished speaking, he heard Guo Cong drink softly, and then his anger followed the sound, and the figure moved suddenly.
With his Qinggong, his leaping onto the stage was as sharp as thunder. After his figure settled down, his whole body immediately seemed to be rooted on the stage, and his lower body was as stable as a rock.
This move alone is enough to show that his martial arts is much better than that of Li Yuan, whom Sun Yixie met before. Even many martial arts seniors in the audience couldn't help but praise: "What a handsome Kung Fu!"
And on the other side...
"Brother Sun, this guy surnamed Guo has some strength. I'm afraid you're going to suffer a lot." Huang Donglai also knows his stuff. When he saw Guo Cong's skills, he immediately turned around and whispered to Sun Yixie.
"Shut up, I!" Sun Yixie replied with a crooked mouth, "Brother, you are about to go up and have sex with someone now. You are still standing next to someone else and destroying your own prestige. Are you a human being?"
"Damn it, then you have to have a chance to beat me so that you can gain your prestige." Huang Donglai also had the same swearing style, saying in a dirty way, "This guy's strength may not even be able to beat me.
You'll probably be killed in two seconds."
"Get out!" Sun Yixie said, standing up, "I have my tactics, please watch carefully."
After saying that, he picked up the trident, took a step forward, and shouted like he did in the previous round: "Ah——"
But this time he didn't pole vault, he just feinted a shot, and then walked down the high platform where he had set up a recliner in an ordinary way, and walked towards the ring, saying to the comrades surrounding the ring as he walked.
: "I'm sorry for borrowing it. I'll give it to you. Thank you. Brother, please give me a chance. I'm sorry for stepping on your toes, senior..."
He just walked along like this, slowly squeezing through the crowd, coming to the edge of the ring, then walking around to the judges' seat, walking up the steps beside the judges' seat, and finally jumped over a step that was only about one meter wide.
During the gap, he came to the ring.
Originally, Guo Cong was extremely proud and energetic after his appearance, but then Sun Yixie showed up, which immediately disrupted Guo Cong's mood and rhythm.
"Please..." Guo Cong was a little angry, but he didn't know why he was angry. He almost saluted Sun Yixie with the corners of his mouth twitching.
"Please!" After Sun Yixie came on stage, he put down the trident again, still placing it on the edge of the ring near his own side. Then he returned to the center of the stage to return the favor.
After being polite, it was naturally time to take action.
Because he had seen Sun Yixie's unique posture and attack method before, Guo Cong did not act as wildly as Li Yuan. As soon as the fight started, Guo Cong stabilized his lower body and assumed a posture to prevent counterattacks.
, waiting for Sun Yixie to attack.
His understanding is this - Sun Yixie's skill is definitely inferior to his. Even if he has a few weird boxing moves, it is not enough to make up for the gap in strength. Therefore, as long as he holds on to the idea of "fighting at a loss"
His mentality was to hit him a few times first, and then find an opportunity to capture Sun Yixie and bring the battle into a close-quarters wrestling situation. Sun Yixie would not be able to do any tricks.
As for Sun Yixie, he saw Guo Cong's posture and understood the latter's intention. He immediately thought to himself: "You want to play tricks on me, right... Hehe... today I will teach you how to write the word "death".
(This character is the same in traditional and simplified Chinese, so...)!"
