Chapter 25 The face is given by others, the face is lost by myself
Fighting Stage
The place where the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect usually use to resolve their grievances is also a place where they can learn from each other and improve each other. Although it cannot be said that the situation of two peak masters fighting has never happened before, the term "once in a hundred years" is still very accurate to describe it. Whenever well-known figures in the sect compete or settle grievances, many disciples will come to watch, and even the elders of the Immortal Palaces in the sect will come to watch the battle.
Today the two peak masters are meeting for a martial arts battle, and it is not just the disciples who are here to watch the battle, there are also elders from the Immortal Palace and even the peak masters who are here to watch.
Cao Zhen got up early and took the Xianyun Car on Line 3 to the No. 12 Fighting Field of the Baifeng Sect.
There is still half an hour before the scheduled time for the fight, and the surroundings of the fight stage are already full of people. Vendors selling candied haws and various snacks are shuttled among the crowd.
Cao Zhen was a little surprised when he saw the huge crowds of people. Although the Baifeng Sect's fighting skills cannot be said to happen every day, they still occur frequently. Not to mention immortal cultivators, even ordinary mortals have seen many fighting skills. On weekdays,
The audience attendance rate is less than 10%.
This kind of completely full auditorium usually only appears in the competitions held by the sect.
Most of the people present did not know Cao Zhen, but seeing that he was wearing the Peak Master uniform, they all made way for him.
"Nephew, come on, come on!" When Elder Tongdie saw Cao Zhen coming, he quickly stood up and waved enthusiastically, "This way!"
Cao Zhen saw that the VIP seats belonging to the elders watching the battle were full of people, wearing various uniforms and gowns of different immortal palaces. He thought that the low-ranked peak master’s fighting method would not attract too much attention, but he won this time.
Find a low-ranked peak to engage in a battle of wits, and earn more money from gambling.
Now, seeing the elders of various immortal palaces and even several peak masters sitting in the VIP auditorium, I know that if I want to do this kind of thing of making a fortune through gambling again, I can only wait until my next alchemy cultivation level will be great again.
Only when you make a breakthrough can you trick people.
"Master Nephew, this is Zeng Yicheng, Elder Zeng, the elder of the Law Enforcement Immortal Palace." Elder Tongdie dragged Cao Zhen who had just walked over and introduced him enthusiastically, "Responsible for monitoring many illegal things in our Baifeng Sect.
, I used to have a pretty good relationship with your master!"
Cao Zhenzhong lamented that Uncle Tongdie was so kind to him! Knowing that he was going to win this time, he naturally wanted to go to a higher level. This was to build his network in advance.
"I've met Elder Zeng." Cao Zhen cupped his fists and saluted the law enforcement elder in front of him, a fat black man with small eyes and a neat round haircut.
Although the status of the elder of the Law Enforcement Immortal Palace is noble, it is still a little inferior to the status of the Peak Master. Now that the Peak Master is so polite, Zeng Yicheng suddenly feels that he has face!
After all, in the stands behind you, the elders from all the Immortal Palaces are here, and everyone has seen it.
Even though it was just a peak master who ranked 100th in the peak, he was so polite, but the peak master is the peak master after all! When the peak masters who came before saw other elders, nodding their heads was already a very honorable gesture.
After getting great satisfaction in terms of face, Zeng Yicheng, who originally had no intention of intervening in the fight between the two peaks, decided to say a few words to help a group of copper plate elders and the young peak master in front of him.
"Peak Master Cao, are you sure you want to have a fight with the Peak Master of Xingyao Peak? Our Law Enforcement Immortal Palace has the power to mediate before the fight. Xingyao Peak may not give me face, but it will still give it to the Law Enforcement Immortal Palace.
To save face, maybe Sibaofeng can stop this fight just by paying the price of performance."
After Zeng Yicheng finished speaking, he gave the elder Tongdish beside him a proud look, indicating that he had helped out this time, and it could be considered that he had given enough to the main steps of Sibaofeng. Are you satisfied this time?<
/p>
The elders in the VIP audience suddenly became nervous, and many people even looked at Zeng Yicheng with displeasure. We finally have a chance to make money, are you going to cause trouble for everyone?
Regardless of the elders or peak masters who are sitting here on weekdays, how can they be embarrassed to participate in betting and betting because of their status?
What's more, no casino will open a special handicap for ordinary disciples fighting.
If it weren't for the identity of the two peak masters this time, just the cultivation of these two people, the gambling house wouldn't even issue a handicap because of this.
With such a huge disparity in strength, the odds are 100% certain to win, and many elders and peak leaders present have made big bets.
Now that I don’t want to gamble anymore? Many elders are convinced after eating Zeng Yicheng! They all stared at Cao Zhen nervously, secretly praying in their hearts that this peak leader, who is rumored to be extremely pedantic, would not listen to such advice.
I really don’t want to fight anymore.
"That won't work!" Cao Zhen blurted out his refusal. Seeing Zeng Yicheng's embarrassed expression, he quickly showed off his former master's second-class appearance and said, "The fight cannot be reconciled. They insulted my master's name. I
We must teach them a lesson!"
When Zeng Yichen heard that he was rejected, he wanted to say, "I don't know what is good." But when I heard that Cao Zhen brought out the master-disciple relationship, I could only say something pedantic in my heart, but I had no choice but to say anything else. The elders and peak masters at the VIP table breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. Fortunately, the peak master of the Four Treasures Peak had a lot of knots in his head. Otherwise, he would really have missed this good opportunity to make money.
.
At this time, Zeng Yicheng turned to Elder Tongdish and shrugged, saying that he had tried his best.
Elder Tongdie let out a long sigh and shook down the sleeves of his broad robe, revealing a helpless look on his face.
Cao Zhen saw Elder Tongdie's expression and sighed again in his heart. In order for Si Baofeng to make money in this gamble, his uncle really used his acting skills to the extreme! I don't know, but I doubt that my uncle is real.
I was afraid that I would lose, so I asked the elders of the Law Enforcement Fairy Palace to help resolve the fight.
"In that case, Lord Cao Feng, please come to the ring." Zeng Yicheng pointed to the ring happily, thinking that this time he gave Elder Tongdish face, and at the same time he also bet on Xingyao Summit to win. It can be said that it is a matter of favor and spirit.
I've made a fortune.
Cao Zhen came to the fighting arena and found that there was already a whole row of people sitting at the seats at Xingyao Peak.
Li Xingyao was sitting in the center of the crowd at Xingyao Peak, sipping tea leisurely. When she saw Cao Zhen's appearance, she didn't take the initiative to get up and say hello.
Cao Zhen came to Sibaofeng's seat and sat down, causing the audience to burst into excitement.
"Look! The people from Sibaofeng are here! Only one is here!"
"That's not true! Everyone else in Sibaofeng has gone into the pawn shop!"
"Then isn't today a decisive battle? There is no way for a wheel battle?"
"If Cao Zhen wins one game, it won't be a decisive victory."
"Master Sibao Peak wins a game? What does he win with? Haven't you heard the rumors that he went crazy and became a madman?"
Cao Zhen listened to the conversations coming from not far behind him, and he was also curious. Who is helping him spread rumors about stable odds?
"Really? I haven't heard of it! Who told you?"
"Elder Tongdie said it himself!"
When Cao Zhen heard this, he felt moved again. He was indeed his good uncle! In order to help him stabilize his odds, he lied in public! But in this way, wouldn't his uncle put himself at risk for the sake of the Four Treasure Peaks?
Are all the years of fame involved?
"The words spoken by Elder Tongdie himself are somewhat credible..."
"What's the score? Elder Tongdie bet 500 taels on Yaofeng in public to win! How credible do you think this is?"
"That's ironclad credibility! Can you still bet on it now? I'll bet on some more..."
"No chance! Not long after the news came out yesterday, all the major gambling houses closed down... I guess they are afraid they can't afford to lose, right?"
Cao Zhen listened to the conversation of several people behind him and was moved to tears! This is his real uncle! In order to stabilize the odds, he actually paid for the show with his own money! He must be filial to his uncle in the future! p>
"Look, this Master of the Four Treasures Peak is still there with the presence of the old god. He looks so much like the crazy one in the rumors!"
While everyone was talking, a disciple of the Baifeng Sect wearing a referee's uniform stepped onto the fighting stage. He opened his hands and gently pressed down on the air, and the excited audience suddenly became quiet.
"Wait a minute!"
Elder Tongdie saw Cao Zhen's performance at the elders' table. He sighed secretly and told himself that for the sake of the Four Treasure Peaks, he had to risk his old face and give up. He yelled at Yufeng and landed on the ring, whispering to the referee: "
Can you give me some time?"
The referee was a little confused by the sudden appearance of the person. The Baifeng Sect was really too big, and not everyone knew the Tongplate Elder. However, because of the elder's attire, the referee still nodded.
Elder Tongdie hurriedly came to Cao Zhen in a few steps, grabbed his wrist, turned around and dragged him towards the people at Xingyao Peak, complaining: "You are so obsessed! You are not showing off now.
It’s a tough time! I can’t let the Four Treasures Peak be defeated by you! Today, even if I show my old face, I will persuade Li Xingyao not to be the same as you..."
Cao Zhen followed behind and smiled bitterly. Now that the casino has been closed, there is no need to continue the show...Uncle Master is really into the show.
"Xingyao... I haven't seen you for a long time." Elder Tongdie dragged Cao Zhen to Li Xingyao and said with a smile, "I have heard about your affairs. In fact, there is no big conflict. I will act as guarantee this time and let Xiao Cao give it to you.
Just excuse me and apologize. For my sake, this fight has been canceled."
"Elder, it's not that Xingyao doesn't want to give you face." Li Xingyao held the tea with no intention of putting it down, let alone getting up. She didn't even look at Cao Zhen, and said leisurely, "He is the one who is scheduled to fight that day.
Cao Zhen proposed it, and now he wants to cancel it? He has the final say in everything? Then do I still have to lose face?"
"I asked Cao Zhen to lend you the third-grade spiritual field to Xingyao Peak for two hundred years..."
"Don't!" Li Xingyao raised his hand, "It's like I'm coveting his spiritual land. This fight is entirely out of justice. So many people here have bought our Xingyao Peak to win, I
You have to lead them to make money..."
Li Xingyao suddenly raised his voice to the point of shouting, and shouted to the countless spectators around him: "Do you think so? I won't fight now! Do you agree to let Cao Zhen just go through it like this?"
"No!"
"How can we not fight? We still want to make money!"
"The main atmosphere of Xingyao Peak!"
"Elder, get down! Don't stop us from making money!"
Elder Tongdie stood in front of Li Xingyao, his old face turned red and white, and his heart was filled with anger. He had also helped Xingyaofeng and Li Xingyao back then, so why did this favor become thinner than paper?
Cao Zhen felt Elder Tongdie's hand holding his wrist tighter and tighter, and was still trembling slightly. Knowing that the old man was being humiliated by the people around him, he quickly said: "Uncle, it's okay. Don't worry, I can win.
..."
"You really don't want to give me face?" Elder Tongdie looked livid and asked, pretending not to hear the tsunami-like boos from the surrounding mountains, "I was a life-saving grace to you back then, right?"
"Referee..." Li Xingyao did not respond directly to the copper plate, but shouted loudly to the referee on the fighting stage, "Do you care or not?"
At this time, the referee did not care about Tongdie's status as an elder. He could only step forward and said: "Elder, you should know the rules of our Baifeng Sect. Don't make it difficult for me, okay?"
"I remember you!" Tongdie dropped a word bitterly, turned around and walked towards the fighting stage, and left another message for Cao Zhen, "Child, if the momentum is not right, just admit defeat. Uncle Master can afford you."
."
Li Xingyao watched the copper plate leave, then slowly stood up and looked at Cao Zhen with a half-smile and said: "Take the elder of the copper plate to press me? A person who is about to end his life and wants to give up his position as an elder and go to Zangtian Cave to avoid fate.
, How can you suppress me? Give me back face? What face is there? Face is given by others, but face is lost by yourselves."
Cao Zhen turned around and looked at the copper plate under the ring, and found that his predecessor Cao Zhen seemed pedantic, but in fact he was quite heartless. He didn't even know that this old man who was kind to him was about to end his life.
