Let's talk about the "backstage", which is the player's rest area behind the ring.
The ones waiting here at this time are not just the contestants competing in the ring - according to the regulations, each participating party, in addition to the contestant himself, can also allow three people to enter the rest area with the contestant. waiting.
This number has undoubtedly been studied and discussed.
Think about it, if you were a sect that hired non-staff personnel to participate in the competition, wouldn't you send a few trustworthy people to keep an eye on it backstage? Otherwise, what should you do if your player is bribed by someone here? At that time, you won’t even know that you were acted.
So the configuration of many sects coming to this backstage is: a hired player, plus two leaders of the sect, and finally a close disciple who wants to train, let him come Bring tea and water to the people in front of you, and take a look at the world.
Just like the Xingyi Sect, the players they hired were the three-character kings recommended to them by Sun Huang, and then the people in their sect who were responsible for supervising the battle were Shao Dejin and Shao Shanhu, father and son, and this A close disciple brought along by the two goods was named Jiang Wan.
Being able to become a confidant under the Shao family certainly does not rely on hard power; as for Jiang Wan, he is that kind of... no other ability, but bullying, gossiping, and flattery. Flattery, taking credit and passing the blame, etc. are all very easy to play.
When the four of them stood there, it was a sight that everyone hated and dogs hated.
Not only the local martial arts people in Cangzhou did not deal well with the Shao family and his son, but also those from other provinces looked sideways when they saw that Xingyimen actually hired a killer to compete.
But...no one really raised any objections to this, and no one dared to drive him away.
First of all, the three-character king once performed well in "fighting demons with swords". This is undeniable in the entire martial arts world.
Secondly, it is no secret that the three-character king and the double harmony have a close relationship.
On these two points, everyone has to give some face, right?
What's more, there is a third point: if someone uses the Three-Word King's identity as a killer to question his legitimacy as a player, and succeeds, then someone will definitely use the same method. Question other players from a similar perspective.
Many of those who work as mercenaries for participating sects are stragglers like the Three-Character King. Who in the world has not gotten into trouble? If someone starts this, will it be finished?
Therefore, whether it is contemptuous or disdainful, it is difficult for everyone to say anything until they are defeated in the arena.
However, there is one person in this rest area who is particularly concerned about this...
That is Wu Mingzi.
This guy just fought against the Three-Character King, Linghu Xiang and Qin Feng in Jilin some time ago in the form of a "masked man". Although he thought that his identity was not revealed... But now he is so He almost met the other person again, and he still felt a little guilty.
"This three-character king is not an easy person. What if he sees my martial arts competition and later realizes that I am the masked man?"
Thinking like this, Wu Ming Zi's inner pressure was also quite high, so that he sat in his seat for a long time with a solemn expression and thoughtful expression.
After seeing this, combined with the previous documents, all the readers should have discovered that Wu Mingzi has a serious problem of mental internal friction.
His experiences in the first half of his life had a great impact on his outlook on life, making him too cautious.
But to be honest, his talent for conspiracy is not very good. Even though he is so careful and "thorough", his flaws are still exposed.
Since the three three-character kings, Linghu Xiang and Qin Feng can sell information about him to Tingfeng Tower, they can naturally tell it to Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai for free.
In other words, at this moment, Sun and Huang were already focusing on guarding against Wu Mingzi.
They had already warned the abbot, the person in charge of on-site security work, in advance, and said, "You don't have to worry too much about other people. Anyway, the personnel from the Ba Fist Sect and the Murong family will help. Just keep an eye on that Kunlun sect Wu Mingzi, there must be something wrong with him."
Of course, the abbot also asked: "What's wrong with him?"
And Shuangxi. I really dared to tell him: "This bitch Wu Mingzi not only recruited the remnants of Xiao Zhun for his own use, but also wore a mask and held the ginseng sword he brought to snatch the True Hero Order from the Three-Character King... What kind of big conspiracy is this?"
After hearing this, the abbot immediately blurted out the word "fuck", and then he cursed in a very regretful tone: "I asked this. What!”
Indeed, he shouldn’t ask.
There are some things that he doesn't know and doesn't care about, but once he knows... he can't ignore them.
Although the abbot never calls himself a "chivalrous person", he is undoubtedly a good person in his heart and a righteous martial artist.
He doesn't like to get involved, and often even refuses others' invitations to get involved in some so-called chivalrous things, just because he understands... Being a "chivalrous" is very tiring and requires sacrifice. of many costs.
He does not want to become a good person like Haicangfeng.
Eight out of ten people like that will not end well.
The abbot has seen too many things like repairing bridges and roads, killing people and setting fire to all his descendants. Three generations back, his ancestor’s Fang family was not a martial arts sect. But what’s the good end?
But this time... The abbot didn't expect that Sun Huang would tell himself such a big secret right away, even saying "This is a big matter, don't tell it everywhere." "Ah" and so on, there is no foreshadowing.
To put it bluntly, Shuangxi also saw through the abbot’s chivalrous nature.
So, the abbot who heard this information took on the responsibility.Next, even if you want him not to take Wu Mingzi seriously, he won't be able to do it.
So the abbot really didn't pay much attention to what other people were doing in the rest area, and his attention was almost always focused on Wu Mingzi.
But this... has also become a hidden danger.
It became an opportunity for the "Shadowless Poison Lord" to act quietly.
…………
Back to the arena.
As Wen Taiyuan announced the result of another game, the group competition had unknowingly reached the tenth game.
Huang Donglai’s commentary also followed suit at the right time: “Then the ninth game ends here, and the next is the tenth game, which is also the highlight of this morning...”
Sun Yixie took over here: "This match is between the representative of Tingfeng Tower - "Living Arhat" Fu Yan, against the Xinghui Tower...oh no...it's the representative of the Priced Gang -" Can Gong "Sha Qilun"
This is indeed the focus of the battle.
Although Tingfeng Tower and Price Gang are both famous and powerful, they are both engaged in "gray industries" and are not "well-known and upright" in the traditional sense. So it is reasonable for them to be ranked in this first round.
Some people may say, isn’t the Murong Family also a gray industry?
Yes, but after all, they still have the reputation of a "martial arts family" that they can brag about, right?
In those days, if your ancestors were famous, it would really work. Otherwise, why would some emperors from humble backgrounds have to find a famous ancient official with the same surname to be a relative after they ascend the throne?
But Tingfeng Tower and Price Gang do not have the same conditions as the Murong Family. Both of them started from scratch, engaged in a knife-edge business, and relied on the personal operating ability of the gang leader to grow.
Just like the two players they hired this time, they also reflect their efficient and pragmatic style of "businessmen"...
Fu Yan, who represents Tingfeng Tower, He is two feet tall (in other words, it is actually 1.8 meters tall), burly, with a big bald head, a ragged cassock draped sideways, rough features, an angry face, and a ring on his chin. With his beard and mane parted and prickled, he looks like a "living Arhat".
At first glance, anyone would think that this person is a warrior monk in his prime, but in fact... he has lost his hair.
The kind that takes off one’s body young and cannot be saved by anyone.
And if you look carefully, he has no scars on his head, so he is not a monk.
So what’s going on with his outfit?
First of all, this happiness and disgust does have something to do with "monk"...
When he was young, because of his severe hair loss, old appearance, and his family was not rich, he had no luck with women at all. Even when I usually go out to do odd jobs, I am often teased for my baldness; since career and love are both a bit different,All right, he decided... Why don't I take a different route?
So, he went to Shaoshi Mountain to become a disciple.
The reason he chose there was also very simple, because as a common man with limited culture, what he knew was full of places where bald men like him were very powerful and could teach people martial arts. , then there is only Shaolin Temple.
Half a month later, Fu Yan successfully arrived at the gate of Shaoshi Mountain. The monk guarding the mountain took one look at him and saluted him immediately.
"Master, may I ask which Zen monastery you are an eminent monk in? What are you doing in Shaolin?"
Fu Yan curled his lips and said, "I am eighteen this year. "Come here to become a disciple."
"Oh..." The monks who were more than ten years older than him looked at him with even more awe after hearing this, "Then you...uh ... Donor, wait a moment..."
To make a long story short, because of Fuyan's very convincing appearance, the Shaolin monks thought he might have some Buddhist connections, so they first accepted him as a layman. Disciple, I want to observe and observe, and if it is suitable, consider giving him ordination.
To make a digression here, in our book, the inner disciples of Shaolin Temple, that is, those "non-lay disciples", the threshold for accepting disciples is not low, like the little master Chunkong or Those who were picked up by eminent monks when they were babies are rare exceptions; normally, those who come to become a disciple, especially adults, who want Shaolin to ordain you or become a monk, must first be a lay disciple for a period of time and let them examine it. It can take anywhere from a few months to a few years.
And even if you are a lay disciple, not everyone can accept it... You must either come with a letter of recommendation from a local rich man or a dignitary, or you must have good qualifications, otherwise Why should I accept you?
This kind of threshold is basically common to all high-end sects. It is an unspoken rule and it is a matter of course.
If your sect accepts some rabble within the sect for a long time with almost no threshold, it will be over sooner or later. How come those "outer disciples" are also a kind of knowledge in themselves.
However, this Fuyan... at least in terms of character, is a standard "rabble".
Although he looks like Arhat King Kong, he is actually a common man. All he pursues is money and beautiful women.
The reason why he came to Shaolin was mentioned above. He just wanted to learn martial arts from his master. He thought that with martial arts skills, no one would dare to laugh at him when he went down the mountain.
So the inspection did not last long, and Fuyan was kicked out of Shaolin.
Everyone, please note that he was kicked out...just like the "Noviski" brothers who escaped secretly, and did not get through the bronze man formation at all.
He is not even as good as those two brothers. They at least went to the Sutra Pavilion to secretly learn a special running skill, while Fuyan only learned one trick during his stay there. The most basic form of Arhat Boxing.
But I never expected...this guy is also a wizard.
In the first ten years after being driven down the mountain, Fuyan relied onA tattered cassock that he picked up, and a face that could pretend to be a monk without a cassock, he pretended to be a wandering monk, performing arts and begging for help.
Almost every day, he continued to perform the only martial arts he had learned, the Arhat Fist, in front of people.
Just like this, day after day, year after year, after countless repetitions, Fu Yan unknowingly realized something...
Generally speaking , Zen martial arts, even the most basic Arhat Boxing, requires a certain degree of understanding of Buddhism to reach the highest level. Fuyan was banned by Shaolin before he learned any Buddhism, so he This situation is similar to wanting to build a wooden bridge, but you only have wood in hand and no other nails, hammers, saws, etc.
Logically speaking, no matter how hard you practice, it will be in vain.
But this blessing happened without the support of any Zen mental method. With his own insights from wandering in the world of the city for many years, coupled with his incomparable proficiency in Luohan Quan, he successfully conquered the world. This martial arts has pushed it to a strange realm that has never been reached before.
It turns out that the most popular, vulgar, and vulgar principles in the world, which are almost opposite to the Buddhist teachings and mental methods of the authentic Zen sect, can also be combined with this Zen technique to create a new realm.
This kind of operation is like forcibly tapping a branch line on a skill tree with only one straight line. It really does not mean that one has high martial arts talent. It is basically a result of personality or fate.
Time flies, and another ten years have passed. Fuyan finally followed his own path and practiced Luohan Quan to a peak that no one has ever seen.
Fuyan finally got fame, money, and beautiful women as he wished...
But he has become one of the well-known masters and is known as the "Living Arhat", but he still does not forget his original intention. Wearing his shabby cassock, I don't know if he is reminding himself of the days of hard work and performing on the streets, or if he simply wants to disgust the Shaolin who drove him away.
Let’s talk about Fuyan invited by Tingfeng Tower, let’s talk about the next one.
"Remnant Gong", Sha Qilun.
He is the last of the "four people not to be trifled with" in Green Forest Road that we have mentioned several times before.
Now these four people have finally appeared.
Their differences are -
People say that drinking is like drinking water's "clumsy fist", Chao Kang.
People say that the "whoring saint" who is so bold in sex is Yu Jianli.
People say that a "dull knife" costs money but not life, Jiang Muchan.
People say that Sha Qulun is as aggressive as a mad dog's "remnant power".
As the world has said, this Sha Qulun is an extremely aggressive person; he is not a martial arts fanatic, he just likes to fight with others. Is it a life and death fight? Are there any rules? , it doesn't matter... Sometimes, he even enjoys it more if some unique restrictions are added.
It can be said that this kind of large-scale martial arts competitionCompetition is Sha Qulun's playground. He is more "pure" than Dugu Yong, a type who fights to improve his martial arts and competes just for the sake of fighting. He competes just for the sake of competition.
Even if Ding Buzu refuses to hire him today, he, Lao Sha, will still try his best to find another employer.
So, Boss Ding and he hit it off right away, and they basically just gave him a "symbolic amount of money" and he came.
Now that he is able to face a master like Fu Yan, he is so excited that everyone is trembling.
That will lead to that immediately - the living Arhat fights against the sand mad dog, and Tieshan relies on his strength to defeat the enemy. The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
