Chapter 59 Challenge
On the third day after Ziyue entered Wuyun City, there was a sudden news from Wuyun City that the mysterious peerless beauty Ziyue was going to hold a monk's discussion meeting in the Linhu courtyard!
But some people still release rumors that before the small discussion meeting, in order to select some young talents who are more qualified to participate in the discussion meeting, a three-day challenge competition will be held before this discussion meeting. As long as everyone can pass the challenge, they can get the qualification to participate in the discussion meeting and have the opportunity to see the true face of the purple moon. Instead of sitting down and talking about it.
This is undoubtedly good news for those young monks who keep pouring into the cloud city and miss each other these days. All the monks who are conceited and talented go to the lake courtyard to participate in the challenge, so that they can stand out and see the beauty.
The lakeside courtyard is backed by Qianshan Lake, and the gate is facing a street called Anle Street.
Now the originally cold and quiet Anle Street is no longer happy, and it is already full of people and bustling. However, most people stayed outside Anle Street and did not enter the lakeside courtyard. Instead, they pointed out to this huge manor outside, as if something big had happened in the lake courtyard.
In addition to the monks, there are also many residents who come to see the lively Wuyun City.
At this time, two young people came to the outside of the lake courtyard one after another.
One of these two people is Lin Xiao and the other is Huangfuqi.
Huangfuqi is dressed as a noble man, wearing a gorgeous brocade suit and a precious jade at his waist. Lin Xiao behind him was dressed in a gray servant's clothes, dressed like Huangfuqi's follower. Moreover, Lin Xiao also specially found someone to put on makeup for himself and slightly changed his appearance. If he hadn't looked carefully and been familiar with Lin Xiao's appearance, no one would have recognized him at all.
Huangfuqi and Lin Xiao rushed all the way. He rowed away the crowd and forced himself into the courtyard near the lake, which provoked pedestrians on the road to dictate and talk about it.
Lin Xiao and the two squeezed for a while, and finally were squeezed into the solid wood gate of the lakeside courtyard and officially entered the crowded lakeside courtyard.
Before everyone came to the lake courtyard, they had already learned the questions of the challenge through various ways. They mainly tested the six skills of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, magic and array. As long as they excel in a single event and their skills are superior to the heroes, they can be qualified to participate in the Taoist meeting three days later.
Huangfuqi and his "servant" Lin Xiao came to the lake courtyard today in order to participate in the challenge and get a place in the Taoist club. So that they can carry out their next "revenge" plan.
Huangfuqi came from Huangfu's immortal family. Although he has been driven out of the house, many people still recognize the direct grandson of the Huangfu family in the immortal world of Yan. As soon as he stepped into the hall outside the lake courtyard, which had already been squeezed by young scattered practitioners, a big hand stretched out from the side. Pull him.
"Brother Ren?!" Huangfuqi was shocked and shouted, "Why did Brother Ren come to Wuyun City when he had time? Where's your sister-in-law?"
In front of Huangfuqi is a man in his thirties, with a properly trimmed short beard on his lips, wearing brocade clothes and holding a jade handle folding fan, which looks like a noble man.
Actually, this person's name is Ren Bainian. He is the eldest grandson of the Ren family, a family of immortals juxtapped with the Huangfu family in the State of Yan. Ren Bainian was also a self-provestous and romantic figure, but a few days ago, Ren's family married another immortal family in the State of Yan and let Ren Bainian marry the daughter of his partner's family. Since then, this guy has become a completely strict wife and has not gone out to drink much.
Huangfuqi had the most bad taste with Ren Bainian before he was kicked out of the house. He used to travel together, but now he hasn't seen him for a long time.
Ren Bainian blushed, "Your sister-in-law went back to visit her mother's house, and I finally got out."
Huang Fuqi's face was gloomy when he heard the words, "Love, although Brother Ren is strictly controlled by his sister-in-law, at least he still has a home to return to. Unlike me, he is now driven out by his family and wanders everywhere..."
When Ren Baiwen heard the words, he quickly comforted him: "Brother Huangfu, don't have to worry. As far as I know, Uncle Huangfu has recently had the intention to forgive you. I believe that it won't be long before Brother Huangfu can return to the family again!"
"Is this true?" Huangfu was overjoyed.
"Real! This news is what I heard from Huangfu's father's father when I visited your Huangfu's house with my father last time. Brother Huangfu can rest assured to wait! After all, you are the direct grandson of the Huangfu family. No matter how wrong you are, you will not be homeless.
Speaking this, Ren Bainian changed the topic again, "Is Huangfu also here to participate in the challenge?"
Ren Bainian only knew that Huangfuqi was kicked out of the house for stealing the family's treasured elixir, but he did not know that the reason why Huangfuqi stole the elixir was completely instigated by Ziyue. Huangfuqi now hates Ziyue to the bone. If he knew that there would be such a problem, I'm afraid he wouldn't ask this question.
Hearing the word Ziyue, Huangfuqi's expression became excited again, but Lin Xiao, who had been silent behind him, suddenly whispered, "Son, don't forget the purpose of our trip."
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Huangfuqi suddenly calmed down again. Just as he was meditating, Ren Bainian asked, "Brother Huangfu, who is this person behind you? Why have I never seen it? And he is not a monk, is he?
"I'm just an attendants." Huangfuqi seemed to say lightly.
"So that's it." Ren Bainian nodded, and he was not in the mood to explore the origin of a servant. Instead, he said, "Brother Huangfu, if you also come to participate in the challenge, I'm afraid you will be spoiled."
"Why?" Huangfuqi asked strangely.
Ren Bainian explained: "I also wanted to participate in the challenge, but I didn't expect to be stopped by a guy named Bai Zhengxiang as soon as I entered the door. This guy told everyone who participated in the challenge that he could meet everyone's challenges alone, no matter what. If he lost to him, he would go directly from the lake courtyard. Get out of here. If you win him, you don't have to participate in the next challenge and can directly qualify for the Taoist committee.
"Bai Zhengxiang!" When Huangfuqi heard the name, he immediately shook his hand angrily, "This guy is so arrogant that he did such a thing? What right does he have to provoke us all? Ziyue's **... Did she agree?"
Huangfuqi almost scolded Ziyue in a hurry just now, but lucky, he finally put up with it.
Ren Bainian sighed, "Miss Ziyue agreed. At first, some people wanted to teach this little white face a lesson, but in the end they all lost. I'm not talented. I just tested the rhythm with him and lost. Now that I have lost the opportunity to participate in the challenge, I can only watch others continue to challenge that white face.
Huangfuqi looked back at Lin Xiao and asked worriedly, "If I participate in the challenge, what is better than?"
Lin Xiao also felt that Bai Zhengxiang was a little troublesome, but he had no choice but to say, "What the prince is good at in the six arts is better than anything else."
Huangfuqi sighed, "I will undoubtedly lose in terms of fighting. I am not proficient in piano, calligraphy, painting and array. The only thing that is a little proficient is chess."
"That's better than chess!" Lin Xiao said.
Huangfuqi nodded. Although Ren Bainian didn't know why Huangfuqi participated in the challenge and had to discuss with his "followers", he still said, "Brother Huangfu, don't think you can win by playing chess with Bai Zheng. This guy's chess skills are unfathomable! Since this morning, 15 people have won a wheel battle in a row! There are many people at the national level!"
Huangfuqi was a little discouraged when he heard the words. At this time, Lin Xiao said, "You don't have to be discouraged. Chess is not a fighting method. No matter how high your cultivation is, no matter how strong you are, it is useless. Game has its own rules. As long as it is limited by the rules, no matter how high the cultivation is, it will be greatly limited. High chess skills do not mean that the chess path is high. If the prince fights with Bai Zheng, he may not lose.
The person who can say such a thing is enough to make people look high. For a hundred years, he couldn't help looking at Lin Xiao, thinking that this follower was really a little unfathomable.
"Good! Just play chess with him! If you lost to him last time, you must win it back this time!" Huangfuqi finally made up his mind.
After that, Lin Xiao and others waited for a period of time. After Bai Zhengxiang experienced several battles such as piano, calligraphy, painting, magic, array, etc., driving most of the challengers out of the lake courtyard, the next round of chess wheel battle finally began.
There are three entrances and three exits of the lake courtyard, which are divided into three parts: the front hall, the middle hall and the rear courtyard.
At this moment, 17 chessboards have been laid in the middle hall, and 17 challengers have sat quietly behind the chessboard. Huangfuqi also sat behind a chessboard. Far behind him, Lin Xiao sat cross-legged as a servant. The two waited together for the beginning of the chess game.
And opposite the 17 chessboards stood a young man in white, shaking a beautiful fan, with a calm expression and a smile on his face.
This person is exactly white!
Bai Zheng glanced at the crowd, and then slowly walked towards the 17 challengers. As he walked, he said, "I would like to remind you again that if you are not sure that you can win me, you'd better leave automatically to avoid humiliation. It's also a waste of time."
Hearing Bai Zhengxiang's ruthless ridicul, several monks who participated in the challenge were dissatisfied. An older middle-aged man said sarcastically, "Are young people so ignorant and self-righteous now? Don't think that you can be arrogant with a little achievement! When I began to practice, you were still wearing open crotch trousers!"
Everyone laughed when they heard the words, only Bai Zheng's face changed, and then he waved his right hand and didn't see anything else. The middle-aged monk who scolded him just now suddenly let out a scream. He seemed to carry a sledgehammer on his back, and his body flew out in the air. He hit a wall behind him and made a "boom" sound.
The monk in the realm of Taoist fetus was frayed by Bai Zheng and withered on the ground. His mana was agitated and disordered all over his body, and he could not get up for a long time. When everyone saw this scene, they were so scared that they couldn't laugh anymore. Looking at Bai Zhengxiang's eyes, there was a little more awe.
Bai Zheng glanced at everyone, and then said coldly, "This is the lakeside courtyard, where the Purple Moon Fairy lives. If anyone doesn't care about his mouth, talk nonsense, and disturbs the purity of Miss Ziyue's ears, this person will come to the end."
