Chapter 179 Draw the ground as a prison! (5000 word chapter)
"Son..."

The corner of Xiaotao's mouth twitched, as if trying to hold back a smile.

I couldn't bear it anymore, so I raised my long sleeve to cover half of my face, and said in a low voice, "Your reputation..."

"...I know, don't say it."

Zheng Xiu didn't know that this time he was beaten by Xie Luohe.

I thought it was Xiao Buping's face that was lost, so don't worry about it.But right now, everyone's eyes are on him, everyone's fiery eyes are focused on him, or hate, or contempt, or envy, or hunger and thirst, all kinds of strange things, like steel needles, piercing Zheng Xiu's whole body with pain.Now all the face that should have been lost to Xiao Buping was thrown on him.

While the two were whispering, another pair of heroes that everyone in the world envied quietly left in order to prevent their own daughter-in-law from being murdered by thieves.

On the high platform, Duguxiang, who presided over the meeting, also changed his expression, and looked towards Zheng Xiu with cloudy eyes.He had heard a little about Xiao Buping's reputation as a prodigal, but he didn't know that some people were afraid of it to such an extent in the rumors.He was even secretly regretting that he knew that he hadn't been invited to participate in the conference, which would have cast a stain on the birth of the Hero List, a martial arts conference that should have lasted forever.

The opponent of "Xiao Buping" voluntarily abstained.

"Iron Fan Scholar, Xiao Buping, win!"

Duguxiang was helpless, but because of the rules, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and announce that Xiao Buping had won and entered the next round.

"Young master, you have won!"

When Xiaotao heard that Young Master won, no matter how he won, she smiled like a flower, and dangled back and forth while tugging at Zheng Xiu's sleeve.

Animals!

Beast!

shameless!
Thunder strikes from heaven!

Zheng Xiu and Xiao Tao on the high platform seemed to be the focus of the audience.Looking at the woman in Huanghua who was having a good time with "Xiao Buping", everyone couldn't help making up many stories in their brains.What kind of torture did that girl go through to be so docile to Xiao Buping.

What Zheng Xiu didn't know was that the reason why Xiao Buping was beaten by everyone in the arena and became the public enemy of men was not simply because he liked other women.The most puzzling thing is that among the many gossips, the most talked about and most bizarre thing is that all the women who followed Xiao Buping were said to be voluntary, and they fell in love with each other. It is not difficult for the strong.

This is the most hateful thing!

If you say that you are strong, let it go, it is understandable.But it happens that you love me!
It's hard to guard against!

This is also the reason why many heroes, when they heard Xiao Buping's name, would rather not compete for this new hero list, and have to leave in a hurry with their partners.

At this time.

Unlike Zheng Xiu who didn't care, Xiao Tao, who was quite concerned about the battle for the hero list, noticed something.

"My lord, you seem to be in Group A with...Xiao, uh, Xie Luohe."

When Zheng Xiu heard it, he squinted his eyes and looked at the list behind Duguxiang, and was taken aback for a moment.

Skillful.

He is really in the same group as Xie Luohe.

No wonder it was his turn not long after Xie Luohe finished the fight.

It's just that Zheng Xiu didn't care about it, and shrugged: "It's okay, I will lose anyway."

"Young master, it's okay, after all, you are not good at wielding swords."

Xiaotao found that Zheng Xiu always liked the catchphrase "It's okay", so she learned it somehow, so she imitated Zheng Xiu's words with a smile, and comforted her.

Zheng Xiu added another pot of tea.

This time the young man who delivered the tea no longer had any surprises.The more shameless Xiao Buping behaved, the more reasonable he felt, because this was Xiao Buping.

The aftermath caused by "Xiao Buping" did not last too long, and soon everyone's eyes were attracted by the wonderful contests that evolved from time to time in the arena.

In the martial arts world, chivalrous knights enjoy their grievances and vengeances, and they go to different places in different places. It is a rare opportunity to get together.

Today, under the leadership of Duguxiang, nearly two hundred knights with a certain status in the martial arts, regardless of righteousness or evil, temporarily put aside past grievances and sect disputes, and sit together. It is indeed a rare event in the past 20 years .Even if you can't compete for any ranking in the end, but you can see the methods of many masters and compete with hundreds of soldiers, it is not in vain.

In the first round of small fights, except for Xie Luohe's momentary shot that hit real fire, the others were restrained in their actions and did not cause any fatalities.

Occasionally, old friends from the past met on the sword-questioning stage, and the atmosphere was harmonious, bowing to each other, laughing while fighting, and talking about interesting things in recent years.

There are male and female knights competing swords in the arena, comparing each other, the two exchanged eyebrows, pointing the tip of the sword together, taking slow steps on the sword-questioning stage, dancing like a tango, turning in circles.

There were even two brothers who had been separated for more than ten years, reunited by chance on today's scene, hugged and wept together on the sword-questioning platform, drank a pot, got drunk and were coerced by the children of Hidden Sword Villa If it goes down, both will be judged negative.

The crowd applauded.

If it wasn't for Duguxiang's reminder from a high place, the sword-questioning stage would have almost turned into a large-scale blind date scene.

The battle for the hero list, the first round, was barely under Duguxiang's control.

There were a lot of people in the first round, and it took nearly two hours to finally end.

Duguxiang announced that he had set up a banquet in the Tibetan Sword Villa and prepared the first-class dishes. He invited all the heroes to move to the sword dance field of the Tibetan Sword Villa. The second round of competition will be held after noon.

Some people leave in despair after losing the first round.Coupled with the occurrence of the "Xiao Buping incident", near noon, the number of people staying on the sword-questioning stage decreased by nearly one-third, only a hundred or so people remained, which seemed much more empty.

After Duguxiang announced that the subsequent martial arts competition would be held after noon, the knights left the sword-questioning platform in an orderly manner and walked down the mountain.

"Come on, let's go to dinner!"

Xiao Buping's reputation was worse than he had imagined. Zheng Xiu was afraid of being beaten as "Xiao Buping", so he deliberately waited until the others had almost left before taking Xiaotao down from the high platform.

Then something happened that he didn't expect.

On the stairs, Xie Luohe, who was wearing a moon-patterned black dress and black silk gloves, folded her arms and leaned against the tree. When Zheng Xiu and Xiaotao walked out of the sword-questioning stage hand in hand, she looked up and sighed softly. It seems to be waiting for a long time.

It is impossible for Zheng Xiu not to see Xie Luohe, and when he was wondering what the hell this guy was up to, Zheng Xiu pretended not to see it, and lowered his head and tried to pass by.

Xie Luohe looked at Zheng Xiu resentfully: "You are here."

click.

When Zheng Xiu heard Xie Luohe's strange words, he twisted his neck and made a noise, with a confused expression on his face.

"I know, you don't want to see me, so I cover my face."

Oh open!

For a while, those who were behind Zheng Xiu didn't have time to go, or those who walked ahead didn't have time to go far.

The martial arts knights broke out with amazing speed or reaction one after another. A few disappeared in place, hid in the forest, or jumped on the branches, secretly observing the two people who "met" in front of the sword-questioning platform.

There is a story!
All the knights hiding in the dark had sharp eyes and shouted outrageously.

Although Xie Luohe only played once, her reputation as "Xie Luohe" was notorious in the bandit world, and she was also known as the "No. [-] villain". All were impressed.

As for Xiao Buping, needless to say.

Now Xie Luohe stopped Xiao Buping, and even uttered some ambiguous words, which made everyone think about it, waiting in the dark to watch the show.

Maybe tomorrow's martial arts headline will be "The No. [-] Evil Man Tearing Iron Fans and Animals with His Hands".

Zheng Xiu looked at Xiao Tao beside him in confusion.

Xiaotao was more confused than Zheng Xiu, shaking her head, holding on to Zheng Xiu's sleeve in a daze, at a loss.

"you……"

"You, you, me, me." Xie Luohe interrupted Zheng Xiu's words, and laughed bitterly: "Today is different from the past. After many years, we met here. You are neither the you of the past, nor the me of the past. .”

Zheng Xiu was stunned.

For some reason, what Xie Luohe said seemingly in a daze reminded Zheng Xiu of his current situation with Fengbei.

Although Xie Luohe was wearing a mask, when he said those words, it was more like revealing his true feelings, which made people moved.The cruel Xie Luohe's voice was trembling, and he was crying secretly. He smelled the sadness and listened to the thunder. Many emotional women lurking in the forest suddenly burst into tears, weeping silently, holding the weapons in their hands, and preparing to rush forward. The scumbag man—this is the public enemy of all martial arts women.

"I……"

When Zheng Xiu came back to his senses, he found that he was fooled by Xie Luohe's acting skills, and he was infected with strange sadness. He was about to say angrily, "When the hell am I?", Xie Luohe's figure was like a flash of lightning in Zheng Xiu's vision, Bully stepped forward, came to Zheng Xiu in the blink of an eye, stretched out an index finger, and gently pressed Zheng Xiu's mouth.

"Stop talking." Xie Luohe looked at Zheng Xiu "affectionately", and then his eyes fell on the face of Xiao Tao who was next door, who was stunned, and sighed: "Stop talking, every word you say now seems to be beneficial The arrow hurt me to the bone. Since this is the case, why bother to say more, I understand your thoughts, I have already understood. How can the yellow flowers in the past be better than Xinhuan Jiaoyan?"

The silence speaks.

Xie Luohe's voice was flat, and his sigh was like the wind.But every word is inseparable from dregs, and every sentence is inseparable from love.It seemed to be lamenting about a scumbag, having a newcomer and forgetting the old one, echoing all the rumors about Xiao Buping in Jianghu.

Maybe someone who had a quick glance with Xiao Buping many years ago still had doubts about the identity of "Xiao Buping".

Zheng Xiu's eyes signaled: What kind of moth are you trying to do?

There was a hint of sadness in Xie Luohe's eyes. Immediately, he added an extra finger and took two steps closer. The faces of the two of them approached, so close at hand. Xie Luohe secretly pinched Zheng Xiu's lips with his index finger and thumb.

"You gave it to me back then, and I, Xie Luohe, will return it to you today."

Xie Luohe pulled out a long arrow from the quiver behind his back.

A crumpled piece of letterhead was tied to the long arrow.

"You sent a letter with a long arrow back then. I kept that letter for many years. Now, I will return it to you, and I will return it to you."

"From now on, you and I will never be in arrears."

Xie Luohe pressed the long arrow into Zheng Xiu's palm, and stretched out his hand to bend Zheng Xiu's stiff fingers. Xie Luohe held Zheng Xiu's hand with his fist and made him hold the arrow tightly.

"This letter of promise, you can burn it, throw it away, or keep it, it's up to you."

Xie Luohe turned around and walked down the mountain step by step.

"I see that all living beings are grass and trees, but you are a green mountain."

"But from now on, my green hill will collapse into sand."

"treasure."

"I wish you all the best, stay together until you grow old."

Xiaotao was moved and cried, covering her face and crying bitterly.

Until the figure of the Xieluo River disappeared in the mountains.

Xiao Tao's tears were still flowing.

There was a faint cry in the woods.

Among them were several inquiries, whether to kill this beast here.

Zheng Xiu didn't dare to stay, and ran down the mountain with the crying Tao.

On the road, I ran into Duguxiang by chance. I don't know whether Duguxiang was on purpose or not. He walked slowly on the mountain road, turning his head from time to time.

"Hero Xiao, you and that Xie Luohe..."

When Zheng Xiu passed by, Duguxiang looked at Zheng Xiu suspiciously, he obviously knew what happened above.

The reason why he was able to walk ahead of Zheng Xiu was naturally because he secretly used lightness kung fu to drive a certain distance in the forest, and then appeared on the stairs pretending to be fine.

Zheng Xiu shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "Children's love is hard to break, let brother Dugu laugh."

He never expected that because of Xie Luohe, he would have a conversation with "No. [-] Sword in the World".

Duguxiang had a strange expression on his face, and he didn't make any noise.

"By the way, Brother Dugu, if someone wants to trouble me, Xiao Buping, or even kill me in Hidden Sword Villa, does that mean that they don't take your Hidden Sword Villa seriously?"

Zheng Xiu shouted loudly.

The slight footsteps in the woods behind them suddenly stopped, and the angry female heroes who raised their swords and quietly touched them, their breaths stagnated.

The corners of Duguxiang's eyes twitched, he hesitated for a while, and could only reluctantly say: "Since Dugu dares to host the martial arts conference, he will not allow private fights in this villa. If anyone violates it, he will not take the Dugu family seriously. Dugu will definitely stay in the villa to protect you, but if he leaves the villa..."

"Thank you, Dugu hero!" Zheng Xiu arched his hands, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said happily.

Don't pass Duguxiang, he arrived at the dining table safe and sound, Zheng Xiu gritted his teeth and looked around, but he didn't see Xie Luohe, so he could only sit in a corner with Xiaotao.

All around were criticizing eyes, Zheng Xiu endured it, let Xiaotao eat first, and secretly opened the "love letter" that Xie Luohe said under the table.

There is only one line written on it: The plan has changed, you must compete for the top ten places!
There is also a badly drawn, barely recognizable "smiley face" on the back.

Hey!
Xie Luohe, you think highly of Gongsun Mo, don't you?
This is definitely not something Gongsun Mo can do!
Zheng Xiu's first reaction was strange.

He is Zheng Xiu, not Gongsun Mo.In his cognition, Gongsun Mo is a pure scholar, which is absolutely inconsistent with the original direction of the "memory world".

In fact, Zheng Xiu also knew that since Gongsun Mo's influence disappeared, everything he experienced gradually deviated from the established track, and he didn't know where he went.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Zheng Xiu is even more puzzled about what exactly is the "change" that Xie Luohe said.

According to Xie Luohe's original plan, she must win the top ten by herself, and then take the opportunity to snatch the calligraphy.

But looking at it now, Xie Luohe seemed to have discovered something. The original plan didn't work, so he told Zheng Xiu in this way that she gave up winning the top ten and replaced him.

"Can it be changed like this?"

Zheng Xiu kneaded the "love letter" into a ball in bewilderment, then soaked it in tea, completely destroying the writing on it.

Little did they know that this scene made countless heroines gnash their teeth, completely confirming the "scumbag" behavior.

This meal ended hastily in Zheng Xiu's anxiety. In order to avoid unnecessary love killings halfway, Zheng Xiu went late and returned early, staring at Duguxiang, and immediately followed him as soon as he left, and returned behind Duguxiang far away. Questioning sword platform.

afternoon.

The warriors sat down again.

The martial arts conference continued.

The first round took a lot of time, but after the first round of fierce competition, the number of people dropped sharply, and the next process will be more intensive.

Soon it was the turn of Group A again.

After several fights that were not considered intense, nothing happened. The knights closed their eyes to recharge their batteries and wait for their rounds.

At the end of a round, Duguxiang looked at the rounds on the list, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he said loudly.

"Jiazi Group, Iron Fan Scholar, Xiao Buping!"

"Blood Hand Rakshasa, Iron Lady!"

"Both of you, please board the Sword Asking Platform!"

"Hahaha!" A heroic heroine with a scar on her face and dark skin kicked her feet, turned several times in mid-air, and landed lightly in the center of the sword-questioning platform.As if she had been waiting for this moment for a long time, she sneered and pointed her finger at the scumbag on the stage: "Xiao thief, get down and die!"

Swish!
Many people opened their eyes suddenly, and their gazes instantly focused on the same person.

"Oh, why bother."

Zheng Xiu remembered Xie Luohe's words on the note, so he had no choice but to put down the bamboo basket and hang the "Luohe Brush" on his waist. Unlike the other party's appearance showing off his lightness kung fu, Zheng Xiu waved his fan slowly and paced from the stage Step down, appearing to be calm and unhurried.

This gesture made the knights present stunned. It is well known that Xiao Buping's lightness skills are unrivaled in the world, and he is good at escaping life and breaking into houses.They thought that Xiao Buping's behavior of flaunting lightness kung fu would arouse Xiao Buping's desire to win, but Xiao Buping was so calm and walked down step by step, which made them look at Xiao Buping with admiration in doubt.

Walking to the center of the Sword Asking Stage, Zheng Xiu looked at Iron Lady.

The woman known as the Iron Lady stared fiercely at herself.

"This girl, I, Xiao Buping, have any grudges against you?"

"Hahaha, Xiao thief! You know it well, why pretend to be stupid! Kill you, and the martial arts will remove a great disaster, and thousands of female heroes can rest easy!"

Zheng Xiu smiled slightly: "The world knows that Xiao is unparalleled in the world. If you beat you in lightness kung fu, tsk, you will not accept it." Zheng Xiu raised his head, looked at Duguxiang who was optimistic about the show, and said loudly: "Dare to ask the hero Dugu, can Xiao raise his bets in this martial arts competition?"

Duguxiang was taken aback for a moment, then frowned: "Refill?"

Zheng Xiu took the Luohe brush from his waist, twirled it a few times on his fingertips, and said with a smile: "Martial arts is a killing technique, and Xiao Mou disdains it when you compete in martial arts. But if you really fight for life and death with a sword, it is against Dugu Dao. The original intention of holding a grand event.”

Under the eyes of everyone, Zheng Xiu bit his finger and took out the Luohe pen. The black hair on the tip of the pen was a strange red.

He went around the venue and drew a "bloody circle" on the sword-questioning platform, enclosing him and the Iron Lady.

"If you beat you in lightness kung fu, I won't win with martial arts."

"We will decide the winner in this circle, the one who admits defeat loses, the one who is pushed out of the circle loses, the winner will be divided!"

"But if one of us took the initiative to get out of the circle by taking advantage of light work, he would kill himself on the spot! The bet is life and death!"

Zheng Xiu shook the fan with his right hand. Amidst the drastic changes in everyone's faces, Zheng Xiu set his own "rules". Looking at the iron lady with the same weird face, he said calmly:

"I, Xiao, dare to abolish my light work, dare to draw the ground as a prison, and risk my life!"

"Just to fight for the dignity of a warrior, I will fight with you!"

"you,"

"Dare you?"
