An accident in the martial arts academy eventually got completely out of control and went in a direction that no one could have expected. At first it was just an inexplicable fight and trouble, but later it involved Mu Cangyun, the first male disciple of this generation, and it became
The dignity bet between the ordinary disciples and the servants shocked Qianxue Peak, and the farce was not over yet. Qian Jiansou, one of the five elders, even challenged Lan Jieying, the elder of the execution hall, and invited her to join him.
Gambling, this matter has really turned Qian Xuefeng upside down.
"It's incredible. Elder Qian and Elder Lan also made a bet. This time it's really a big bet."
"What are they betting on? Are they also betting on who will lose and who will go out? Then if one of them loses, one of the elders of our sect will lose money."
"Hey, so they weren't so direct, but instead bet on each other's weapons. Elder Lan bet on the Seven Snakes Sword and Spear, and Elder Qian also bet on his own Ten Thousand Victory Sword Platform. Both of them are
A rare weapon, I heard that the Seven Snakes Sword and Spear was created hundreds of years ago by an emperor-level strongman who slaughtered the diamond dragon queen, took the essence of her flesh and blood, and mixed it with fine gold. It is an emperor-level weapon, more powerful than the holy king's weapon.
Much more powerful."
"Then how can it be compared to the Wansheng Sword Platform? It is said that Qian Elder went through nine deaths to obtain this ancient treasure at the Qingling Burial Ground. The Seven Snakes sword and spear were only made by emperor-level figures, but the Wan Sheng Sword Platform was not
Even emperor-level figures have been killed several times, so they cannot be compared at all."
Both male and female disciples were eager to discuss this betting match. Although at first glance, it sounded like it was just a simple weapon bet, and it was not as serious as being kicked out. However, those who knew the rules knew the meaning of this.
It will only be heavier.
Long before entering the age of weapons, warriors had the persistence and belief that "the sword is there for everyone, and the sword dies and everyone dies". In the era of weapons, this persistence will only be amplified. Warriors trust their weapons wholeheartedly.
, entrusting their lives to them. For many top warriors, weapons are their second lives, and can even be said to be more important than their lives.
Betting with war weapons, and if you lose, you will lose your own war weapons. This kind of bet can be light or serious. For two warriors who are in the realm of blood production and muscle strengthening, this kind of bet is like a child playing house. It has no meaning.
It is meaningful, but when it happens to masters like Qian Jiansou and Lan Jieying, their weight is as heavy as a mountain. The one who loses his weapon will suffer such shame and humiliation that it is not surprising even if he commits suicide because of it.
Therefore, Qian Jiansou's provocation shocked everyone at the time, including Meng Yan and Mu Cangyun, who were the original parties. Most people thought that the Lan Elder Council was noncommittal and retreated when it was difficult. How could they expect that she would listen to it?
After accepting the bet, his cold expression showed no change. He simply said "That's it" and turned around to leave.
In this way, this complicated gambling game was established, and everyone present witnessed it, making this upcoming annual competition full of sparks before it even started.
Meng Yan didn't care that much. It was completely unexpected for him that things developed like this. The strangest thing was that even though Qian Jiansou kept saying that Lan Jieying was protecting him, Meng Yan really didn't feel this way, except that he couldn't figure it out.
What is the connection between herself and the elder of the execution hall? Moreover, from the beginning to the end, Elder Lan did not look at her directly. After agreeing to participate in the gambling game, she left without looking back, as if what happened to her had nothing to do with her. This kind of
With her indifferent attitude, Meng Yan felt that she was not doing it for herself, and that it was probably just a personal grudge between her and Qian Jiansou... I guess so...
He has no time to care about other people's affairs. Meng Yan's immediate priorities are: first, to find a third person to join the battle as soon as possible; second, to make sure that the two of his own parties have an absolute chance of winning. To put it more realistically, as long as he and Hu Qingtian can win two battles in a row
, even if the third team finds an idiot and loses to Mu Cangyun, our side will still win. However, this kind of trick strategy is very simple, and it is estimated that the opponent will not let you succeed so easily. Besides...
"I found that except for myself, who really has a chance of winning, no one else seems to be reliable. Even you, brother, six ordinary disciples can kill you at will with knives and swords. How far have you practiced martial arts?
Can't you be a little smarter? That's not how battles are fought."
Meng Yan scratched his head and said: "What's more fortunate is that you didn't use the Dingtian Kung Fu from the beginning to the end. You secretly hid a trump card. You may have a chance to catch the enemy by surprise later. But why don't you use the new skill?
Kung fu?"
"You said that the man in black might recognize the Heaven-Tearing Technique and asked me not to use it. Since you said so, I won't use it." Hu Qingtian sat on the bench and asked Meng Yan to apply medicine and wrap his wounds. His upper body was wrapped in a bandage.
It has to be densely packed.
"Well, you don't have to be brave enough to go to someone to challenge someone. In the end, you were beaten up. You are really brave. If you keep doing this, dozens of lives will not be enough to kill you."
As Meng Yan said this, he truly admired this man who listened to his advice, and was even more determined to help him, "Without further ado, brother, what do you think of your chances of winning?"
"If I don't go against Mu Cangyun, I have a chance of winning. I can sweep away the others with one hand. Damn it, Mu Cangyun is a hypocrite. If I have the strength, I can unmask him face to face and replace Miss Huang."
…”
"Stop! I don't want to listen to a man's arrogance. You have just been beaten all over your body and almost torn into pieces. You turn a blind eye to this fact and say that you can sweep away those people with one hand. When
Am I an idiot and blind? God, can't you give me a comrade who can open his eyes and speak normal words?"
"I, I lost with nothing. If someone gives me a weapon like them, no, even a little bit worse, I can defeat them all by myself."
"Keep bragging. Besides, will anyone give you a weapon?"
"..."
Hu Qingtian was speechless. If there really was such a person, he would not be in this situation today. "I had scruples before, but now I have no way to retreat. I used the Dingtian Kung Fu to protect my body in the competition and activated the Arhat Dharma.
I believe that if I can carry the weapon for a period of time and everyone is on an equal footing, then I can win!"
"Please don't always give me some self-righteous tactics, okay? With your half-toned Arhat Dharma, how can you withstand the concentrated attack of weapons? If I really let you do this, you will die miserably before you are kicked out.
Already."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Well, I still need to get some weapons. Is there any weapons market under Qianxue Peak, no, in Xuemei Town? Can I go there to find some good goods?"
"Good stuff... maybe there really is. I've heard brothers mention it before. They said..."
"Wait a minute, brothers? Are you referring to the group of people in front of you who have been brothers with you all day long, who come to you to help fight when something happens, and when you need someone to fight, they all have headaches, stomachaches, and old injuries?
If it is really them, then I really have to say, in the future, when making friends, you have to look at the person first."
Meng Yan was sarcastic without changing his expression, and Hu Qingtian could only laugh awkwardly. Since the bet was established, all the servants knew that they were looking for a third person, and they all spoke very boldly, saying that the two of them were the servants' substitute.
He was a good man, but all of them stayed away from each other. Before anyone could say anything, they started complaining about being sick, for fear of being found as the third party.
It is human nature to be greedy for life and afraid of death. If this were the only way, Meng Yan would not want to say anything. But while the servants refused, they also acted very angry, beating their chests and feet for their injuries and illnesses, shouting at the heavens and the earth, as if they could not follow.
It is a lifelong regret that the two eldest brothers go to war together. It is all just because they are injured and sick. They do not want to be a drag on the two eldest brothers. It is definitely not because of lack of loyalty...
Seeing these styles, Meng Yan wanted to say, "We are not afraid of being dragged down, we can do whatever we want." Especially when he saw their sad and angry expressions, he had the urge to sigh.
"I even want to go to Mu Cangyun to change the bet, change the contest from martial arts to acting, and pick three of them at random. I believe that no one on the other side except Mu Cangyun himself can compete with us in three battles.
Two wins for sure.”
Meng Yan said: "Isn't it just a matter of leaving if you lose? It's not like you have to pay for your life if you lose, so you're afraid of that? What else did you do after that? Anyway, you were working as a handyman, so you left as soon as you left. The sky is big and the earth is big, and you have hands and feet.
What can’t you do?”
"That's not what I said..." Hu Qingtian said: "It's not easy for them either. They come to work as handymen. They are all people with no background. If they put their only hope on this, they have nowhere to go.
In addition to carrying themselves, they often also carry the family behind them. Those expectations are not only monthly wages, but also human relations. As long as they are still in Qian Xuefeng, even if they are just handymen, their families will be guaranteed in the local area.
Being bullied, if they want to enter Qian Xuefeng in the future, there are people who can take care of it... Even if they are working as cows or horses, they must survive here, that kind of feeling... you don't understand."
When Meng Yan heard this, he was silent for a moment. He was not a person who could not understand the sufferings of others. After hearing Hu Qingtian's words and thinking about it, he stopped criticizing him and looked at this giant man with admiration.
"Brother, you're not bad. You were the one who was betrayed. You didn't yell or curse, but you were considerate of those who didn't come to help you at the critical moment. I really can't tell that you are actually a kind person. Not bad.
, I admire you, and it’s worthy of me to recognize you as my brother.”
"Don't talk about me like that. I just come from a poor family and know everyone's difficulties. There's not much I can do. I just hope that I can protect the people around me and prevent them from letting others
Unjustly accused and bullied. By the way, there are some weapons shops in Xuemei Town, but... I have never been in it, why don't we go and have a look first?"
Hu Qingtian said with a strange expression on his face. Meng Yan felt very clear when he saw his expression. He was afraid that buying weapons would be expensive. Hu Qingtian was a handyman and usually entertained guests and drinks, which cost a lot.
He has a lot of money in his pocket, so he can't go to such a place, and of course he has no experience. This trip... I guess he can only try his luck.
