Chapter 26: Crouching Dragon, Young Phoenix, Little Kirin
When monks compete, they can decide the outcome in just over ten breaths, and the competition in the water curtain will soon end.
The old man who explained, after reviewing the competition just now, began to talk about his recent experiences:
"... The nine sect alliances that are once a year are approaching, and the good seedlings that have not been hidden in the past have appeared in large numbers recently; the nine sects are famous, and you must be familiar with them. I won't go into details, just talk about the more mysterious people. The first thing I need to mention is the 'Shangguan Jiulong' that appeared just two months ago..."
The monks in the hall were very interested in the rumors about these geniuses and were discussing them with each other.
Cheng Jiujiang held his arms and stood beside Zuo Lingquan, afraid that Zuo Lingquan would not understand, so he explained the meaning of words such as the Qingkui Chulong List.
"If Shangguan Jiulong can become the Qingkui of the Iron Mansion, his talent and cultivation will definitely be superior to his ranks. Maybe he is still above his senior brother Shangguan Baxue..."
"...In addition to the most famous Shangguan Jiulong and the Qingkui of the Nine Sects, there are also many prides of heaven. Recently, there have been four people in the storm, and they all have mysterious origins. Three of the four people are from the Jingtai in the deserted mountains and are called the "Three Heroes of Zhongzhou". Can you tell me which three of the three Heroes of Zhongzhou are?"
Zuo Lingquan heard this for the first time, and saw the storyteller keeping him indifferently, and asked:
"There are these three figures on the Jingtai Terrace?"
Cheng Jiujiang stood with his hands behind his back, with a solemn expression:
"The sect crouching tigers and hidden dragons on the terrace are bound to be numerous in the world. I... I don't know."
“…”
Zuo Lingquan had nothing to say.
The cultivators in the hall were obviously more informed than Zuo Lingquan and others. When the old man asked, there was a sect's son immediately and replied:
"These 'Three Masters of Zhongzhou' seem to be the three new geniuses emerging from the Jingtao Terrace. They call themselves 'Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix Little Qilin'. They are said to have all come from Zhongzhou Sword Imperial City and have amazing combat power. Among them, the 'Little Qilin' is named Qijia, and is the young master of a family in Zhongzhou. They are only twenty-seven years old and have not entered Youhuang. They are not included in Youhuang because they have not found a good sword yet."
The monks in the hall were upset when they heard this:
"Twenty-seven years old and half a step into the grove?"
"It sounds like a sword cultivator?"
...
Zuo Lingquan was also shocked, and he didn't expect that the geniuses of the Nine Sects were so exaggerated.
Cheng Jiujiang was a little disbelief and asked:
"From the title, Xiao Qilin is still at the end. Are the first two more powerful?"
The storyteller wants this atmosphere, gently tilts the folding fan and looks at Cheng Jiujiang:
"This fellow Taoist is right. Since it is the 'Sleeping Dragon and the Young Phoenix Little Qilin', then the two in the first two are naturally better than the Little Qilin; it's a pity that the two are both dragons but not the tail, and no one knows the specific situation. Only from the words revealed by Qi Jia of the "Little Qilin" that the Little Qilin and the Young Phoenix are different from the Yunnie; and the Young Phoenix and the Wandering Dragon are different from Yunnie."
"hiss"
Many monks in the hall were incredible. They looked up at the sky, as if they were wondering what realm it was.
Zuo Lingquan also had a solemn expression and said in a low voice:
"There are two differences between half-step and the bamboo shoots. Could this 'Zhongzhou lying dragon' be a half-step and forgetfulness?"
Cheng Jiujiang thought about it and shook his head slightly:
"It shouldn't be that high, but there should be a half-step jade staircase. These nine sects of heaven are indeed beyond the reach of the world."
...
There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and I was a little impatient. Seeing that the storyteller did not continue to talk, I couldn't help but ask:
"Who is the last genius? Could it be that the three Zhongzhou masters in front of me are even better?"
The storyteller laughed at him:
"This fellow Taoist is a little anxious. Is this the last one? It's amazing. He is the only person among everyone who has actual records, and it happened a few days ago near Shuanlong Port."?!
Zuo Lingquan's expression froze and thought to himself that something was wrong.
Cheng Jiujiang's eyes twitched.
Many monks in the hall were from the boats on Shuanlong Harbor, so they naturally understood who they were and responded with all their mouths:
"Is it the 'Nanhuang Sword' unintentional sword?!"
"It must be, the swordsman is really cruel. He killed the three of Chifa Old Fairy and his son, and threw the heads at the door of Jiange..."
"It's not just that Zhang's family's own fault..."
...
Zuo Lingquan's eyes were strange. After recalling for a long time, he never remembered that he had claimed the name of "Nanhuang Sword". Who gave this name randomly?
Cheng Jiujiang raised his eyebrows and whispered:
"This mixed number is quite domineering."
"Shh..."
There was a lot of discussion in the hall. The storyteller waited for a while before lifting the fan to press down the noise, and said with a smile:
"The matter in Qingyun City is indeed because the Zhang family gave the sword and then killed someone and seized the sword first. It was too unrepentant to be beheaded by the public. This sword was unintentional. Just now, I covered the ferry in Yuelin and spread across the jurisdiction of the nine sects. I was sure that there was no such person before. It should be a genius who had just come out of the mountain, and maybe it was on this ship."
Many monks in the hall looked around.
Zuo Lingquan and Cheng Jiujiang also looked around in a daze, looking for traces of "Sword Unintentional" to avoid being suspected.
After searching for a long time, I didn't see anyone appearing to claim this reputation. Several monks who had good deeds asked:
"Of the five people you mentioned, Chu Feng and Xiao Qilin are not as powerful as Wolong; who is more powerful than Wolong in the Middle Abyss Wolong, Shangguan Jiulong and Nanhuang Jianzi?"
The storyteller shook his head and smiled: "Shangguan Jiulong is Qingkui, Zhongzhou Wolong learns his skills on Jingtai Terrace. Nanhuang Jianzi appeared near Qingdu River. Maybe it was Qingkui who had not been born in Yunshui Jiantan. It happened to be one of them. It is hard to say who is more powerful. Since they have all appeared recently, it must be for the Nine Sect Alliance to make a name for themselves in advance. When the Nine Sect Alliance starts, which of the three people is stronger, you will naturally know."
"The three of them will be there at that time?"
"The Zhongzhou Wolong must be here, I don't know the other two..."
“Yes…”
...
Zuo Lingquan couldn't listen, and dared not stay in the place of right and wrong for a long time. He quietly hid in the crowd, wanting to leave with Cheng Jiujiang.
But Zuo Lingquan had just taken a few steps and suddenly looked at his empty shoulders.
Where is Sister Tang’s white and big dumpling?
Zuo Lingquan was very impressed just now. Tuanzi has always been very cowardly and can't run around. He really didn't pay attention. At this moment, he looked at it and found that Tuanzi was missing.
Zuo Lingquan was slightly shocked and quickly searched in the bustling hall. After looking around for a week, he heard the exclamations of several female disciples of the sects from the corner of the hall:
“Wow, this bird is so beautiful.”
"It's just a bit fierce. Looks like I'm bullying this little snake..."
"Yo~ it will also spit fire..."
Zuo Lingquan squeezed through the crowd and came to the corner of the hall. When he looked up, he saw a little red snake, raised his upper body in horror, leaning against the corner of the hall, spitting out snake letters as if he was defending the enemy, and there was a faint fire flashing in the snake's pupils.
The fat dumplings fell to the ground, spreading their small wings that were not very matched to their bodies, blocking the snake in the corner, yelling, and spewing out a small flame from time to time to threaten them. Unfortunately, they sprayed not far away, and it was about the length of their fingers, which looked like a lighter.
The storyteller on the stage obviously noticed the abnormal movement in the corner of the hall, and said with a folding fan:
"Oh~ What a dragon and phoenix fight. It's a little smaller, and it's quite good. Friends, please take care of your own spirit pet. If you accidentally get lost or get eaten, you will not be responsible for the ferry..."
The master of the red little snake also noticed that the spirit beast was missing when he heard the sound. He squeezed over and took a look and said quickly:
"Which immortal bird is this? Why don't you understand the rules so much? Look, I'm scared my family Honghong..."
Zuo Lingquan didn't expect the dumpling to spit out fire, and walked up to him and shouted:
"Dunzi, come back, this thing is not enough to eat."
"grumble!"
The dumpling flapped its small wings and pointed it at the trembling snake with its bird's beak, which should mean 'I finally caught it'.
"Come back quickly and be obedient, otherwise I won't take you out in the future."
"grumble……"
Seeing that Zuo Lingquan was very serious, Tuanzi could only reluctantly give up hunting. He took small steps dejectedly and walked to Zuo Lingquan's shoes and squatted, stopping moving.
The monks watching the show around all laughed when they saw this, and the girls even joked:
"This bird is so smart, I'm afraid it's of high quality..."
"So fat, I'm very careful at first glance. I've all grown up in full circle. I don't know if I can fly..."
"grumble?!"
Tuanzi raised his little head and was a little unhappy. Unfortunately, before he could show that he could fly, he was held out of the hall by Zuo Lingquan, who was desperate to live...——
