Chapter 151 Idle leisure in the Jianghu with swords (First update, please vote for recommendations)
The rising heat, the fragrant and scalding soup, the hair-thin noodles, and the floating pieces of green bring you an all-round enjoyment of sight, smell, and taste.
Meng Qi squatted in front of the noodle stall without any appearance, holding a bowl of noodle soup and eating enthusiastically, making slurping sounds constantly.
Gulu gulu, he finished drinking the noodle soup, licked his lips with unfinished content, turned to the stall owner opposite and said, "One more bowl!"
Sure enough, the rumors are true. The best delicacy in Qinshan City is Dragon Beard Noodles, and the most delicious Dragon Beard Noodles is undoubtedly the Old Man Xie Noodle Stall outside Qinshan Six Gates. I tried it today and it really lives up to its reputation. It is fresh and fragrant. , strength, elasticity, fineness, nothing short of it!
"Okay!" Mr. Xie replied enthusiastically, adjusted the soup base quickly, and asked smoothly, "Brother, are you here to wait for the latest list of people in the world? Don't you look like it?"
In late spring and early summer, the bright morning was still a bit cold. Meng Qi breathed out his habitual breath, folded his hands and said with a smile, "Why don't you look the same?"
He didn't mind at all that the other person was just an old man buying noodles in the alley, and he asked questions in an easy-going and natural manner, unlike the wealthy businessmen who occupied the noodle stalls, who only wanted to brag about their own glory and look down on old man Xie.
Doing business six doors away, most of the people who come and go must be people from the Jianghu. It is rare for old man Xie to meet such a polite and polite young man as Meng Qi. He said with a smile: "Brother, you have a long sword hanging on your waist and a huge package on your back. It seems that There are other weapons hidden. Normally, they must be young knights traveling around the world, but they all respect their status. If there is no place, they would rather wait than squat down to eat. Only ruffians and dock coolies would not mind."
"However, looking at you, little brother, you are so handsome, you are probably a young master from some family, right?"
Meng Qi laughed: "You guessed it, I am a gangster."
No one here knows me anyway, so what’s the use of having an image? Can it compare to such delicious dragon beard noodles?
Of course, if someone recognizes him, he still has to maintain his image as a dashing young hero.
He is handsome and elegant, with a Bingque sword hanging from his waist, wearing a green shirt, gauze hat, and a smooth wig. If he hadn't been squatting in front of the noodle stall and eating like crazy, he would definitely be regarded as the son of a noble family.
After bidding farewell to Jiang Zhiwei, Meng Qi took a boat southward, passing through Xizhou, passing Longzhou, and arrived at Qinshan City, the junction of southern Longzhou, northeastern Huanzhou, and southwest China. He planned to go east along the river to go to southern Huazhou. , Zhenwu sect in the north of Ningzhou went around, stayed with Zhang Yuanshan for a few days to eat, drink, and exchange feelings, and then turned back, entered Huanzhou, and went to Zhoujun to find Qi Zhengyan who was sent to a small town near Zhoujun to take charge - Zhang Yuanshan's big tree attracted the wind , and with the pressure of the family on top, how can he enjoy the good life and drink with ease with Qi Zhengyan, who has no control?
This area is a continuation of the Huanzhou landform. The mountains are steep, the water is fast, and the resources are hidden deep in the mountains. It is very difficult to do business. Therefore, the folk customs are strong but the martial arts are not strong. Qinshan, together with nearby Zhoushan and Qishui, are known as the "Three Mountains" Four Waters".
When Old Man Xie heard Meng Qi's answer, he smiled and shook his head. Obviously he didn't take it seriously. He picked up the dragon's beard noodles, put them into a bowl, and finally added a braised egg to Meng Qi.
"Thank you." Meng Qi was not polite, took the dragon-bearded noodles, squatted in front of the noodle stall again, and started to devour it, looking at the "Six Doors" door out of the corner of his eye.
Due to the prosperity of martial arts, the police function of the Jin Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty was separated from the yamen early and became six gates standing side by side with the yamen. Offices were often located in one south and one north of the city.
Meng Qi heard that the new list of heaven, earth and people from Shendu Liumen Headquarters would be posted in Qinshan City today, so he came early to wait to see if his family was on the list and what his nickname was.
Because the royal family, aristocratic families, and sects of the Jin Dynasty are very different in power, they have strong control over the states and counties, and have a complete contact network, including birds and fast horses, and many exterior masters have special martial arts. After the inner world and the outer world meet, He is good at long-distance communication and photographic recording, and has strange people and strangers on different roads. Therefore, Liumen Headquarters is known as "the news from heaven and earth. The county seat must be reached within three days, and the county seat must be reached within seven days." have."
Chi-li-chi, Meng Qi squatted on the ground, eating while looking at the door opposite, like a lazy man on the street with nothing to do.
"Brother, the list of people in heaven and earth hasn't come out yet?" Two brown horses stopped in front of Meng Qi. One of the horse owners was a girl with a tender voice, petite and exquisite, with a pleasant appearance.
Sitting on the other horse is a young man with a long sword on his back. His hair is tied up and he is wearing a hero scarf. He is dressed meticulously in a black outfit. His eyebrows are like swords and his face is sharp and angular.
The two of them asked Meng Qi as if he were just an idler watching the excitement.
Meng Qi took a sip of soup, looked at the two of them, and shook his head: "I didn't see it coming anyway."
As soon as he finished speaking, two of the six doors on the left opened, and a policeman wearing a black hat, red clothes, and a long knife across his waist came out holding yellow paper.
With a bang, the heroes in the noodle stall were excited. Those who gave money gave money, and those who rushed over rushed over. It seemed that they wanted to know the list of people in the world as soon as possible and go back early to have more conversation materials.
"What's the use of running so fast? Who can really make the list to see it in person?" The young man wearing a hero scarf looked at these ordinary people in the world with disdain.
The petite girl smiled and said: "Everyone is curious, and I am also curious about what changes will happen this time. Maybe a grandmaster or young hero will rise up?"
"Well, let's go there too." The young man said to the girl pleasantly.
The two of them jumped off their horses, tied them to the horse posts, and using a little light kung fu, they passed most of the people and got ahead.
"Brother, you run very fast." The girl then realized that Meng Qi was walking along with noodle soup in his hand, and he was actually in the front row.
Chi-li-chi-liu, Meng Qi stopped his chopsticks and said with a half-smile, "People from the world give me a nickname, Scud."
Scud... The girl frowned, this nickname was so strange.
The young man snorted: "What nickname can a street idler have?"
Meng Qi did not explain. He walked to the screen wall with a smile and looked at it carefully. He saw that the Heavenly Ranking had not changed all year round, but the Master was ranked in the top sixty on the Earthly Ranking.
After reading the earth list, he turned to the screen wall of the human list. Petite and exquisite girls, young men wearing hero scarves and most of the heroes from the past gathered here. To them, the gods of the heaven list and the masters of the earth list were gathered here. , are all too far away from me, just take a look and understand it. The key point is the ranking, which is the goal that many of them strive for!
"'Invisible Sword' He Jiu, 'Counting the Common People' Wang Siyuan, 'Wolf King' Tie Sheng, 'Da Luo Demon Girl' Gu Xiaosang, 'Sword Qi Changhe' Yan Chong, 'Buddha Heart Palm' Xuan Zhen, 'Happy Toutuo' "Xingyi, "Wuwu Dixian" Cao E, "Shocking Baili" Jiang Hengchuan, "Jue Sword Fairy" Jiang Zhiwei, wow, Jiang Zhiwei of Xijiang Pavilion was ranked in the top ten not long after he came down the mountain!" As someone read out! The names were added, and exclamations sounded in front of the screen wall.
Although Jiang Zhiwei's name has long been spread among the disciples of Xijiang Pavilion who traveled down the mountain, and along with the elders of various sects who watched the rookie competition, and has been on the list of people early, no one expected that just over a month after coming down the mountain, she would directly Entering the top ten is shocking!
Looking at the results again, everyone was speechless. "The Evil Sword of the Sun" was a left-field master who had been famous for many years. Although he could never reach the threshold of half a step on location, he had all the skills and rich experience. He was actually defeated by Jiang Zhiwei. Her strength is evident in head-on combat and one-on-one combat, and her subsequent record proves this even more.
"This is the first time I've seen someone with only six orifices enter the top ten." The petite girl exclaimed with shining eyes.
The young man smiled and said: "Senior Su Wuming, the 'Tianwai Divine Sword', seems to have been in the top ten when he was in the Sixth Aperture. It is really passed down from master to disciple."
There are two conventions for the list of people. Those who reach thirty-five or step into the outdoor scene will automatically be removed from the list. Therefore, the top nine are all masters of eight or nine orifices. Jiang Zhiwei's six orifices are really eye-catching - breaking the barrier of life and death and stepping onto the world. The bridge is the most difficult step to break through to the exterior scene. Relatively speaking, as long as the foundation is correct, the intersection of the inner and outer world will be much easier, so half a step to the exterior scene is not on the list.
Of course, everyone undoubtedly believes that the top ten young talents on the list have the ability to compete in half-step outside scenes.
"Nvxia Jiang must be a cold swordsman who concentrates on the sword, just like Senior Su Wumingsu." The petite and exquisite girl said as if she had seen Jiang Zhiwei with her own eyes.
"Um..." Meng Qi wanted to say to Jiang Zhiwei on her behalf, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm not cold-hearted at all."
"What? You don't believe it?" The girl, with her keen ears, asked unhappily.
The young man also helped and said: "Only a swordsman who concentrates on swords can possess such terrifying swordsmanship in the six orifices. Although they say Jiang Nuxia is stunningly beautiful, Leng Meiren is also a beauty."
"Okay." Meng Qi said nothing.
The girl won the argument and was very proud. She pointed at the list and sighed: "It's a pity that only three of the top ten are from outside the big sects and aristocratic families. It's really frustrating. That's why I admire Yan Shaoxia and Jiang Shaoxia the most."
"The River of Sword Qi" Yan Chong and "Shocking Baili" Jiang Hengchuan are from a small sect, and the other is a casual cultivator. It is indeed not easy to enter the top ten. The other one is not from a big sect or a big family, he is the "Wolf King" Tiesheng, he is a young master from the northern grassland.
"Yes, the two of them are role models for us." Many heroes around him nodded, and finally someone said, "It has been seven or eight years since Shaolin ended the Xuan generation and started the Zhen generation. Why is the Zhen generation still here?" No one is on the list?”
According to Shaolin rules, all disciples must first enter the Wu Monk Academy to observe their mind and nature, and then they can become direct descendants. Therefore, there is a unified seniority that cannot be exceeded. For example, when the Zhenzi generation has not yet started, if the older monk of the Xuanzi generation takes a fancy to which disciple, You can only accept apprentices as teachers.
Xuanbei was like this at the beginning. The Wuzi generation had already ended, and the Xuanzi generation was about to end, so he was accepted as a disciple by the abbot and maintained his seniority.
"Seven or eight years is not a long time, and the oldest of the Zhenzi generation is only about twenty years old. Shaolin magic arts are famous for their solid foundation, bright prospects, and slow progress. Hey, there is a Shaolin abandoned disciple of the Zhenzi generation. Ranked 33rd!" Someone said in surprise.
Meng Qi, who was still looking carefully at the previous introduction, quickly looked over after hearing this. At this sight, his whole face turned dark, and he murmured to himself: "Crazy Monk of Thunder Sword, Mang King Kong, Crazy Monk of Thunder Sword" , Mang King Kong..."
"To be able to kill two Nine Aperture masters and defeat one head-on, this Shaolin abandoned disciple is really terrifying!" The young man wearing the hero scarf exclaimed, "And he can also summon thunder! Such a talented disciple , how could he become an outcast?”
"I don't know, but judging from the nickname, this monk Zhending must have dark skin, bulging muscles, eight feet tall, and an eight-foot waist!" The petite and exquisite girl looked sure.
Bachi you*! Meng Qi cursed in his heart and wanted to change his itinerary and go to the Shendu Liumen Headquarters to have a heart-to-heart talk with the person who prepared the list.
"Brother, why are you so dazed?" The girl read the introduction of all the talents in one breath and greeted with unusual satisfaction, "Today is the fiftieth birthday of the master of the Zengxian Sect. He is holding a flowing banquet to entertain fellow Jianghu people, so why not go and join in? Is it exciting? I heard that Huang Yun, the 'Feiyun Sword' who is expected to enter the list, will come to challenge in person on behalf of the 'Qinshan Sword Sect' to fulfill his three-year agreement and compete for the temporary control of the strange stone."
Just now, she defeated Meng Qi in "argument". It was a chance encounter and they had some friendship. Of course, the premise was that Meng Qi was very good-looking.
It is expected to enter the list of people, challenge, strange rocks from the sky, flowing water seats... these terms penetrated into Meng Qi's ears, which made his heart move. He smiled and said: "That's what I meant."
He is a person who likes to join in the fun, and watching more competitions and seeing more various martial arts moves will help him improve his Dugu Nine Swords.
Also, those two nicknames are so hurtful, and only delicious food can soothe the pain in my heart!
