Yuncheng is located in the frontier. It's a very cold place. It's snowy all year round. It's said that the temperature at noon is minus 20 degrees.
After three days' journey, I arrived at Yuncheng. At the moment of getting off the bus, I seemed to step into a fairyland, with continuous snow mountains and magnificent scenery. I took a deep breath of fresh air, relaxed and happy. I felt that the whole person was suddenly enlightened and clear as clear as the clouds and the sun.
The snow mountain in the distance looks so holy and flawless. The blue sky is located in the vast heaven and earth. The snow-white clouds surround the arms of xiongshan lightly. With their feet on the thick snow, they can make a "creak" sound at every step.
However, this place is surprisingly cold. The wind is howling and cold to the bone. It seems that I have come to a world of snow. You know, it's just spring in Tianhai city.
Yuncheng is not developed. It lags behind the technology of the outside world for nearly decades, and every household has not been powered on. However, if it is developed into a scenic spot, there is no doubt that it is absolutely overcrowded.
Along the way, I have been asking about the deeds of Feng family, which is really famous in Yuncheng.
With the advance of the pace, I found that there are many martial artists here!
Although the number of people is not large, they have unique skills and excellent martial arts. They don't look like people from Cloud City. What are they doing in Cloud City? Is it related to Fengjia or Tianshan Road?
I found an old-fashioned inn. Although there was no electricity, I didn't need an ID card.
After I put away my salute, I came downstairs. The boss of the inn was making tea. I sat opposite him. The boss immediately said with a smile: "do you have any orders, sir?"
The boss is an old man in his 60s and 70s. His face is full of vicissitudes and wrapped in a heavy cotton padded jacket. He looks very smart. I said to him, "it's nothing. I just want to ask you what so many martial artists are doing outside?"
The boss was stunned, looked at me in surprise and said, "aren't you the same as them?"
I smiled and said, "no, my friend once came to Cloud City and said that the scenery of Cloud City is very beautiful and suitable for relaxation, so I came to have a look. I was curious when I met those martial arts practitioners outside."
The boss stared at me suspiciously. I restrained my martial artist's breath and looked like a very ordinary young man. The boss no longer doubted and explained to me: "our local Feng family is holding a martial arts competition. These people are invited."
"Martial arts contest?" I sneered: "true or false, what's the age, and the game, the wind family is really idle."
The boss said displeased: "Sir, you can't say this casually. It's just a personal hobby. You don't like it, but you can't blaspheme it. Moreover, this Feng family is the patron saint of Cloud City. I'm not happy if you say so."
I hurriedly said, "no, no, I'm just curious. What's the purpose of this martial arts competition?"
With that, I politely handed a cigarette to the boss, who was also an old smoker. When I saw the cigarette, I immediately smiled, He said to me: "The Feng family will hold a martial arts contest every five years, which is a tradition left over from many years. If there is no Feng family, our old residents of Yuncheng will have moved away. If it is not for the martial arts contest, we have no business to do. Therefore, I say that the Feng family is the patron saint of our Yuncheng. If you speak ill of the Feng family, we don't welcome you in our inn."
"No, no, No." I couldn't cry or laugh and said, "I don't know the situation. I think the Feng family is very great after listening to you."
"That's nature!" The boss's tone was a little proud: "in fact, the Feng family can leave Yuncheng for a long time. After all, staying in Yuncheng has not developed very well. As an ancient martial family, the best way is to contact the Jianghu. But the Feng family has been rooted and established here for a hundred years for the people of Yuncheng. As a common people of Yuncheng, I am grateful to the Feng family from the bottom of my heart! I am also very proud."
I said, "how do these people know about the martial arts competition?"
Before I came here, I didn't know what martial arts competitions the wind family held.
"It is held once every five years. Some people are former contestants and others are invited. Ordinary martial artists are not qualified to enter. No matter how outstanding their qualifications are, but why do you inquire about this news?" The boss stared at me suspiciously, some doubting my identity.
I chuckled: "nothing, just curious. Thank you, boss."
Having said this, I left the inn, wrapped in a black windbreaker and put on a mask, which was inconspicuous in Yuncheng, because many people on the street dressed like me, and some people's identities were not suitable for exposure.
More than ten minutes later, I came to the courtyard of Feng family. At the moment, the door is very lively. Many people are talking about some things with great interest. When I came to the door, I heard someone shout: "there are ten minutes left for the test to officially start. All martial artists should warm up as soon as possible to avoid poor performance in the cold weather."
There was a big campfire in the yard. The flames were towering, which made the surroundings warm a lot. My tight body also relaxed a lot. Looking at it, many martial artists were eager to try and warm up. I said to the young man on one side, "what test?"
The man glanced at me and said proudly, "brother, in the first year?"
I nodded, "well, the first year."
The man was very proud and boasted, "I've been here several times."
I really don't know what the young man is proud of. It seems that it's something worth showing off. I said silently, "you're very good. What's this test?"
The young man pointed to a crystal clear stone not far away and explained to me: "the strength of our invited martial artists is uneven, so we need to be grouped. This spirit stone can judge the strength of martial artists, but brother, I don't think your martial arts are very good. Who invited you?"
I touched my head and said, "I'm afraid it's really hard to tell you."
"It doesn't matter." The young man grinned: "it's normal that everyone here doesn't say it, but little brother, I think you'd better not give your head away. After all, it's hard to be trampled on."
"What's your name?" I asked, squinting.
It seemed that he was aware of my poor tone. The young man also raised his chin and said proudly, "if you can change your name, sit down and change your surname, I'll go to Yue Changfeng!"
I said faintly, "I hope we can be divided into the same group!"
After saying this, I turned and left. I inquired about other people again. Taking advantage of the warm-up stage, I also learned about the wind family's martial arts competition. The top three awards are still very rich. It is said that the wind family will spend five years polishing a sword as a prize for the champion in the martial arts competition, and the other second and third prizes are also very rich, And it is said that the first place also has a special and mysterious gift, but no one knows what it is.
Wu Yang told me that the Feng family was involved in Tianshan Road. Can we say that the recent martial arts competition is specially for Tianshan Road to attract disciples?
In fact, there is no need to choose a strong competitor directly. There may not be many strong competitors.
But these are just my bold guesses. I still need to contact the Feng family for details.
At about eight o'clock in the evening, for the outside world, it may have just entered the night, but for Yuncheng, it is already late at night. The place without lights is extremely dark and can't see five fingers. But at the gate of Feng's yard, the lights are bright and the people are noisy. After warming up, all martial artists are waiting for the start of the test.
However, not all martial arts practitioners can participate, and they also need an invitation. The Feng family enjoys a reputation in the Jianghu. Therefore, many disciples of the ancient martial family are invited, and they also take their servant girls with them.
The so-called invitation letter is a token. Naturally, I don't have it. If I want to get it, I can only grab one from this group of people.
Finally, I found a young man whose strength was very poor among the people in this area. Even if he went in, he made up the count. Therefore, I cheated him aside and slapped his side palm on his neck. He turned his white eyes and passed out in a coma. In order not to reveal his identity, I gave him medicine, which was given to me by Nangong mountain a long time ago, Make sure the boy won't wake up in a week.
After all, I offended others and missed the opportunity to prove myself. Therefore, in order to repay my apology, I left a precious pill as compensation.
Back at the door of Fengjia courtyard, the test has begun. The outstanding young Ji gently rushed to the Lingshi for the test.
In fact, this test is also very simple, that is, put your palm on the spirit stone, and the spirit stone will judge and grade according to the strength of the warrior.
It is divided into one to ten levels. After reaching the fifth level, you can pass the test and participate in the competition. Then, there are five groups, six, seven, eight and ninety respectively. People of the same level fight. Finally, there are five winners left, and then there is the final duel.
"Sun Yangyang! The test level of spirit stone is: seven! Congratulations!"
The young man named sun Yangyang immediately cheered and cheered, because even if he passed, most people would be divided into six. Therefore, seven is also a good level, which is pride, but similarly, all the opponents he met in front of him are level seven.
"Congratulations, sun Yangyang! When you become the champion of level 7, don't forget our brothers."
"Next, Li Chuang!"
Li Chuang was a strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. When he came to the spirit stone, he looked a little uneasy. After taking a deep breath, he stretched out his hand and put it on the spirit stone for detection. Soon, a number of five appeared on the spirit stone.
"Sorry, Li Chuang, the level doesn't match."
Li Chuang's face was pale. He grabbed the inspector's arm and said excitedly, "Inspector, give me another chance. I was not ready just now."
The inspector mercilessly shook off Li Chuang and said coldly, "sorry, I've given you enough warm-up time. You don't cherish it. Don't blame me. Let's go, next!"
When I saw the next one, the corners of my mouth rose slightly.
"Hello everyone, my name is Yue Changfeng!" Yue Changfeng's face was full of pride and his eyes swept the audience.
"Yue Changfeng, right? Go and test." The prosecutor said.
"Lao Hong, all my old friends are. Do I still use detection?" Yue Changfeng said discontentedly, "don't you know what level I am? Lao Hong." Yue Changfeng smiled at the inspector.
"Be serious!" The inspector scolded: "pay attention to the occasion. Who and you, Lao Hong or not, go to the test!"
Yue Changfeng pulled from the corner of his mouth and put his hand forward in front of Lingshi, with a sullen face.
Soon, the strength of Yue Changfeng appeared on the spirit stone, but it was funny that it was level 6!
That is, the level of entry threshold.
Yue Changfeng blushed and hurriedly ran away.
"Hey, I thought it was great, but I'm also a level 6 player."
"Yes, I thought there were more powerful enemies, but that's it!"
"Oh, my God! Isn't there a real master in this year's martial arts competition?"
"Do you want a master? Then go and see who is on the stage!"
With the sound, everyone's eyes looked at the spirit stone.
The pupils of everyone suddenly shrunk, as if they saw something terrible...
