Chapter 149 The first confrontation

Mo Yu frowned slightly. During this trip, he just wanted to use Gu Yuan to feel the bottom of Wuyi Mountain. He didn't want to meet Zhang Cheng too early. If something unexpected happened, he had to think of a countermeasure quickly.

"Hey, why are you standing there stupidly? Come and chat with me some more."

Gu Yuan sat back in his chair and saw that Mo Yu was still standing in front of the window. He felt dissatisfied and patted the table.

Mo Yu came back to his senses and confessed his crime to Gu Yuan. He sat down and poured tea for the two of them. He handed the tea over and said casually: "Elder Gu, Head Lu and the city lord have already ascended the stairs. Do we want to go out to greet them?"

Gu Yuan's hand holding the tea paused in the air, his eyes flickered, and he felt that what Mo Yu said was reasonable. As soon as he raised his buttocks, the unhappiness of the past could not help but appear in his mind.

Public and private affairs were intertwined, and he was finally very angry. He placed the teacup heavily on the table: "No, they won't visit here at all. Just be relieved."

Mo Yu smiled and said nothing, looking at the tea spilled on the table and falling into deep thought.

The quarrel between Gu Yuan and the head of Wuyishan over the charter was even more serious than imagined, otherwise Gu Yuan would not have said such angry words. Of course, it is also possible that no one really cares about him.

No matter what happened before, this time the charter will definitely be here!

If the guess is true, Zhang Yan will definitely inform him of the regulations after they part with him. The reason is very simple. His clothes and the sword case on his back are not ordinary things, and their origins are worthy of investigation.

There was no way, the clothes were a gift from Liu Ningxuan, and he didn't want to take them off for a while. It was inconvenient for Youqi not to have a sword case, and he never felt at ease when leaving the body.

About half the time it took to burn the incense, footsteps came from the corridor, accompanied by bursts of conversation.

"Pfft~"

Hearing the sound, Gu Yuan spit out the tea in his mouth, stood up in panic and ran to the door. After listening carefully to confirm that the footsteps were really coming this way, he hurriedly started to dress up.

Mo Yu didn't know how to describe this old guy, who was vain, self-righteous, stupid, narrow-minded, and not doing his job properly...

When Gu Yuanjiang had just finished cleaning up, someone knocked on the door: "Elder Gu."

Gu Yuan Douzi glanced at Mo Yu, who immediately stood up and stood next to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan opened the door, and under Mo Yu's astonished gaze, he put on a flattering posture, bowed his hands and said, "The master is polite, and City Master Zhang is polite."

Mo Yu resisted the urge to kick the old guy and bowed.

Two eyes glanced at him sharply, and Mo Yu knew that Lu Pingsong and Zhang Cheng were sizing him up even without looking.

Calm and calm, not at all nervous, he straightened up and looked at the two of them, smiling warmly.

"Elder Gu, who is this little friend?" Lu Pingsong looked at Gu Yuan with a smile, while Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes darkly.

"Oh, this is a fellow friend of Gu, named Mo Yu. He has time to come over and talk to me today." Gu Yuan explained with an embarrassed grin, his tone a little conceited.

When he heard that he was a member of the same profession, Lu Pingsong's face immediately turned cold, disgust flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Mo Yu with a smile but not a smile: "You have such skills at such a young age, Elder Gu should not be negligent."

"That's it, that's it." Gu Yuan's forehead was covered with sweat, and he gave Mo Yu a vicious look. He didn't know whether he blamed Mo Yu for coming at the wrong time, or whether he was blaming Sang for not expressing his anger.

Lu Pingsong had the intention to leave and turned around to leave, but Zhang Cheng reacted abnormally and walked into the house regardless of Gu Yuan's ugly face.

"Master Lu, it's rare that you have free time today. Why don't you and I watch the ancient elder's superb fighting skills? Firstly, it will broaden our horizons, and secondly, it will relax our mood."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the three people changed.

Lu Pingsong frowned and was puzzled. He didn't mention the charter when he came here. He happened to meet him and just chatted and walked around.

Not to mention Gu Yuan, he had a very unpleasant quarrel with Zhang Cheng. On weekdays, when the two of them met, they didn't even bother to say hello and avoided each other. How could they be interested in watching?

Unlike Gu Yuan and the other two, Mo Yu knew that Zhang Zhang's purpose was to do this, and it was for him!

Zhang Yan told Zhang Zhang about his situation. Zhang Zhang was suspicious by nature and would not let anyone who threatened to enter the house. Lu Pingsong was just a pretense for him to come here to test.

When Zhang Cheng sees the real owner, he will leave if he feels that he is not a threat. If he feels that he is a threat, he will stay. Unfortunately, this is a further test.

"City Master Zhang, my little friend Mo just stopped by for a visit today and didn't bring anything with me. I'm afraid it will have to happen next time." Gu Yuan forced out a smile.

"Elder Gu, what you said is wrong."

Lu Pingsong stumbled into the house. As the leader of a sect, he should consider the interests of the sect. After sitting down, he looked at Gu Yuan and said: "I see that you have a lot of insects hidden in your body. Just take two out."

Zhang Cheng took the teapot and poured tea. He looked calm and acquiesced to the suggestion.

As a guest, it was not convenient for Mo Yu to interrupt, so he could only follow the host's convenience.

Gu Yuan wanted to cry but had no tears. He had an even greater hatred for Zhang Zheng and the leader. A gentleman does not take what others like, and he was disgusted with his treasure over and over again. It was absolutely hateful.

Dare to be angry but dare not say anything, Gu Yuan took out two wooden tubes from his waist, approached Mo Yu and handed one over, and at the same time bared his teeth to threaten: "Take it easy, if it is damaged, I will not spare you!"

Mo Yu raised his eyebrows and nodded helplessly.

Gu Yuan walked to the closet and tinkered with the fighting altar. Mo Yu took the opportunity to open the wooden tube and look inside.

Good guy, isn't this black guy the same one that fought with the exquisite beetle last time? It seems to be called Xiao Heiliang!

Compared with the last time, Xiao Heiliang has gone through many vicissitudes. His hind legs are broken, his antennae are droopy and weak, and his body is scarred. It seems that there has been a lot of fighting during this time.

Zhang Cheng and Lu Pingsong talked quietly, Mo Yu covered the wooden tube again, and Gu Yuan brought a bowl-shaped altar and placed it on a low log stool.

"It's embarrassing."

Gu Yuan cupped his hand, opened his wooden tube, poured a cricket that was exactly the same as Xiao Heiliang into the jar, picked up two straw sticks, and handed one to Mo Yu.

It was Mo Yu's first time to come into contact with fighting insects. Monk Zhang Er was confused. With Zhang Cheng and Lu Pingsong watching next to him, he had no choice but to show understanding and accept the tea.

"Since we are fighting against insects, what can we do without any stakes? Master Lu, would you be interested in having some fun with me?"

Zhang Chengrao was interested and took out a delicate wooden box from his sleeve: "Water chestnut ointment, which can quickly heal trauma."

Mo Yu was surprised. This water chestnut ointment is a rare medicine. It can quickly stop bleeding and heal injuries. It is very attractive to people in the world. Is this how the charter is used for gambling?

The lord of a city is really rich!

Gu Yuan only loved fun and didn't care about the paste. Lu Pingsong, on the other hand, twitched his eyebrows and smiled, taking out an exquisite dagger with several gems inlaid in the scabbard.

"A handful of gadgets can be given to the young master to play with."

What Lu Pingsong said was subtle. The word "gift" means that no matter whether he wins or loses, this dagger will be given to Zhang Zheng. Those few bright gems alone are worth a lot of money.

Zhang Cheng laughed heartily and complimented each other with Lu Pingsong. He pressed Mo Yu, and Lu Pingsong pressed Gu Yuan, and then waved to indicate that the insect fight could begin.

Mo Yu calmly opened the wooden tube and followed the same example, and Xiao Heiliang poured it into the fighting altar.

Gu Yuan didn't know how good Mo Yu was, and he was worried that there was something wrong with his two treasures, so he said: "Win two out of three games, and the buzzing of insects will stop."

Mo Yu answered half-knowingly.

The purpose of the charter was not to watch an insect fight, so it was casual. Lu Pingsong, as a guest, just let it go.

Two crickets stood on either side of the altar, with the same appearance. Gu Yuan's one was slightly larger than Xiao Heiliang, and they were motionless and silent.

Mo Yu kept looking at Gu Yuan out of the corner of his eye. When he saw the other person picking up the grass and teasing the crickets, he picked up the grass and poked Xiao Heiliang.

"Hey, please be gentle." Gu Yuan groaned in pain when he saw Mo Yu picking up the grass and poking Xiao Heiliang's head.

Mo Yu smiled apologetically and turned his target to Xiao Heiliang's tail.

Not long after, Gu Yuan's bird took the lead in calling out, but Xiao Heiliang still made no move.

"Da Heiliang, charge!" Gu Yuan suddenly shouted, startling the three people next to him.

Mo Yu's eyes flashed and he put away the grass. When Gu Yuan shouted just now, he gave him a hidden look. It was not difficult to guess that it meant that the insect fight had begun.

By analogy, as long as one insect chirps on both sides, it means the beginning. So after the insects separate and do not fight, as long as one party chirps first, it means victory?

Ideas need to be proven in practice. As soon as Gu Yuan threw himself into the insect fight, he had no image. He rolled up his sleeves and shouted, saliva flew everywhere, and he was full of passion.

Mo Yu would not imitate this kind of momentum, so Jingchu stood aside and let Xiao Heiliang play freely. After all, he had been on the battlefield for many years and was much more experienced than him.

In less than half a moment, the two crickets stopped fighting, and Da Heiliang took the lead in chirping, winning the first game without any suspense.

"Mo Yu, you have to work harder, I don't want to lose so easily." Zhang Cheng took a cup of tea and sipped it, squinting his eyes and joking.

Mo Yu helplessly clasped his fists: "The ancient elder has been immersed in this way for many years. I am only halfway to the threshold. I am afraid that I am weak-minded. Don't blame me, City Lord."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Changchang smiled and shook his head, waving his hands and saying: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Lu Pingsong smiled dryly and touched Gu Yuan without moving his whisk. He looked at Gu Yuan and told him not to push too far. He would lose more and win less.

Gu Yuan has a stubborn temper, and asking him to deliberately admit defeat in what he is best at is tantamount to wishful thinking, but Mo Yu's words just now impressed him so much that he decided to give up the game.

Pick up the grass again, and the second round begins.

Mo Yu had more or less experience, and he quickly aroused Xiao Heiliang's fighting spirit by picking up grass. He hooted first and made a sound, then fiercely rushed towards Big Heiliang, jumping and kicking, and defeated his opponent in a few rounds.

"Hahaha, good!" Zhang Cheng clapped his hands and praised.

Lu Pingsong nodded happily to Gu Yuan, but the latter didn't look at him at all. He grinned awkwardly, his face turned green and red, and he thought to himself: "Damn it, I haven't given up yet. Isn't this little Heiliang taking drugs?"

At the beginning of the third game, Mo Yu already knew the result from the dissatisfaction in Gu Yuan's eyes, and the defeat was decided.

Sure enough, under the dark-faced gaze of Lu Pingsong, Gu Yuan tried his best, but in just a few seconds, Xiao Heiliang was miserably beaten to death by Da Heiliang, his thighs twitching.

What a Gu Yuan, so ruthless that he doesn’t even care about his most beloved things!

"I'm sorry." Mo Yu handed the grass to Gu Yuan, but the latter didn't take it. He held Xiao Heiliang's body in dumbfounded hands and grinned.

"Hahaha, I'm willing to admit defeat, it's yours." Zhang Cheng laughed and stood up, casually handing the bet to Lu Pinsong.

Lu Pingsong took it with a sneer and offered the dagger at the same time: "I have heard that your young master is fond of martial arts. I would like to ask Lord Zhang to accept this. If I have time in the future, I can also give you some advice."

"Oh? This will trouble Master Lu."

Zhang Cheng calmly took the dagger and walked to Mo Yu's side: "Young Master Mo is of extraordinary caliber. The sword box he carries is very powerful. He seems to be a talented master."

Mo Yu's heart sank, and he secretly used his inner strength to say: "I only know some rough swordsmanship, but I can't catch the eye of the city lord."

"Don't underestimate yourself, I, the acting city lord, will give you a try!"
