Chapter 482: Burying hidden dangers without intention
Let’s talk about the “backstage”, that is, the players’ rest area located behind the ring.
At this time, not only are the contestants who compete in the arena. According to regulations, each contestant, in addition to the contestant himself, can also allow three people to enter the rest area with the contestant to wait.
This number of people has undoubtedly been studied and discussed.
You think, if you are a sect that hired non-staff personnel to participate in the competition, then don’t you send a few trustworthy people to the backstage to stare at it? Otherwise, what if your contestant is lobbying here and bribed? You won’t know if you are acting.
So many sects come to this backstage configuration: a hired player, plus two leaders of the sect, and finally bring a confidant disciple he wants to train, asking him to serve tea and water to those in front of him, and see the world by the way.
For example, the Xingyi Sect, the contestants they hired were the three-character kings recommended to them by Sun Huang. Then the ones in charge of supervising the battle were Shao Dejin and Shao Shanhu, and a confidant disciple brought by the two guys was named Jiang Wan.
Those who can become confidants under the Shao family and son must not rely on hard power; Jiang Wan is the type who has no other ability, but who is very good at bullying the superiors and concealing the subordinates, spreading right and wrong, flattering, stealing the merits and blames, etc.
These four of them stood there and were also a scene that people hated and hated.
Not only did the local martial arts people in Cangzhou not deal with the Shao family and his son, but those from other provinces also looked at each other when they saw that Xingyimen had hired a killer to play.
But... no one raised any objections to this, and no one dared to drive him away.
First of all, the Three Character King once made achievements in "Swords to Suppress the Demons", which is undeniable in the entire martial arts world.
Secondly, the three-character king has a close relationship with the double harmony, and this is no secret.
Just for these two points, everyone has to give face, right?
Besides, there is a third point: If someone uses the killer identity of the Three-character King to question the legitimacy of being a contestant and succeeds, then there will definitely be someone using the same means to question other contestants from a similar perspective.
Many of those who serve as mercenaries for participating sects are scattered soldiers like the Three-character King. Who is in the world and not involved in the matter? If someone starts this, then there is still a lot of things?
Therefore, whether it is contempt or looking at each other, it is hard to say anything before they lose the ring.
However, there is a person in this lounge area who is particularly concerned about this...
That is Wu Mingzi.
This guy just fought with the three-character king in Eunlin as a "mask man" some time ago. Linghu Xiang and Qin Feng fought with Qin Feng. Although he thought he had not been seen through his identity... but now he met the other party so soon, he was still a little guilty.
"The three-character king is not an ordinary person. What if he sees my competition and realizes that I am a masked man?"
Thinking of this, Wu Mingzi was under a lot of pressure, so that he had been sitting in his position for a long time and was as though he was thinking.
Seeing this, combined with the previous documents, all the readers should have discovered that Wu Mingzi is a person with serious mental internal friction.
His first half of his life experience brought too much impact on his three views, making him too careful.
But to be honest, his talent for conspiracy is not very good. Even though he is so careful and "careful", he still reveals his flaws.
Since the three-character king, Linghu Xiang and Qin Feng can sell the information about him to Tingfenglou, they can naturally tell Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai for free.
In other words, at this moment, Sun and Huang were already focusing on Wu Mingzi.
They had already informed the general manager of the on-site security work, the abbot, in advance, and said: "You don't have to care too much about other people. Anyway, the staff of the Baquan Sect and the Murong family will also help you manage it. Just keep an eye on Wu Mingzi from the Kunlun Sect, there is something wrong with this."
Of course, the abbot also asked: "What's the problem with him?"
Shuang Xie really dared to tell him: "Wu Mingzi not only incorporated Xiao Zhun's remnants for his own use, but also wore a mask and held the Ganxia sword from the kiang, and snatched the True Heroic Order from the Three Character King... This is definitely a big conspiracy."
After hearing this, the abbot immediately blurted out the word "fuck", and then he cursed in a very regretful tone: "I'm asking why this is done!"
Indeed, he shouldn't have asked.
There are some things he doesn't know and doesn't care about, but once he knows it... he can't ignore them.
Although the abbot never regards himself as a "hero", he is undoubtedly a good person in his bones and a righteous martial arts world.
He doesn't like to get involved, and even often refuses other people's invitations to get involved in some so-called heroic and righteous things, just because he understands... being a "hero" is very tiring and has to pay a lot of money.
He doesn't want himself to become a good person like Hai Cangfeng.
There are eight out of ten people who will not have a good ending.
The abbot has seen too many such things, and he has turned over the bridge and road, and he has been blinded by killing people and setting fire to all his descendants. He has seen too many such things. He has turned over three generations. The Fang family of his ancestors is also a martial arts hero sect, but what is the end?
But in this wave... the abbot did not expect that Sun Huang would say such a big secret to himself as soon as he opened his mouth, without even laying the groundwork for saying "This matter is so big, don't talk about it everywhere."
To put it bluntly, Shuangxie also saw through the essence of the abbot's chivalrous nature.
So, when the abbot heard this information, he took the responsibility. Even if you want him not to take Wu Mingzi seriously, he would not be able to do it.
So, what other people do in this rest area? The abbot really didn't pay much attention to it. His attention was almost always on Wu Mingzi.
But this... has also become a hidden danger.
It became an opportunity for the "Shadowless Poison Lord" to act quietly.
…………
Let’s talk about it on the ring.
As Wen Tailu announced the result of another game, the tenth game had been fought unknowingly.
Huang Donglai's commentator also kept up at the right time: "Then the ninth game ends here, and the next is the tenth game, which is also the highlight of this morning..."
Sun Yixie took over the conversation here: "This game is represented by Tingfeng Tower - the 'living Luohan', Fuyan, against Xinghui Tower... Oh no... it is the representative of the gang of Youji - the 'residual merit', Sha Hulun."
This is indeed a focus battle.
Although Tingfenglou and Youji Gang are both famous and have strong strengths, they are not the traditional "famous and upright" rank in this first round, which is reasonable.
Some people may say, isn’t the Murong family also a gray industry?
Yes, but after all, there is still a name for a "martial arts family" that can be praised, right?
Back then, if your ancestors were well-known, it would be really useful. Otherwise, why would some emperors with low origins have to find an ancient official with the same surname to meet relatives after ascending the throne?
But Tingfenglou and Youji Gang don’t have the same conditions as Murong Shi family. Both of them started from scratch and did business with the knife and grew stronger with the gang leader’s personal operational ability.
Just like the two contestants they hired this time, they also reflect their efficient and pragmatic style of "businessmen"...
It represents Fuyan who went to the battle in Tingfeng Tower. He is two meters tall (in fact, it is 1.8 meters up), has a burly figure, with a big bald head, a slanted robber, a rough facial features, a angry face, and a circle of beards on his chin, with a mane split into pieces, and a "living arhat".
At first glance, anyone would think that this person is a prime monk, but in fact... he loses hair.
The kind that comes out of the way early and no one can save you.
And if you look closely, he doesn't have a scar on his head, so he is not a monk.
So what's going on with his outfit?
First of all, this blessing is indeed related to the "monk"...
When he was young, he was seriously hair loss, had a mature appearance, and was not rich at home, so he had no chance of being a woman. Even when he went out to do some chores, he was often teased for baldness. Since his career and love were a bit unhappy, he decided... Why don't I change the path?
So he went to Shaoshi Mountain to become a disciple.
His reason for choosing there was also simple, because as a civilian with limited culture, what he knew was full of bald men like him, and very powerful, and could teach people martial arts. The only place where he could teach people is Shaolin Temple.
Half a month later, Fuyan successfully arrived at the gate of Shaoshi Mountain. The monk guarding the mountain glanced at him and immediately bowed to him.
"Master, how dare you ask which monk you are from in the Zen temple? What's the matter with us in Shaolin?"
Fuyan said loudly: "I am eighteen years old this year and I am here to become a disciple."
"Oh..." The monks who were about ten years older than him looked at him even more awe-inspiringly, "Then you...uh... donor wait..."
To put it short, because of Fuyan's convincing appearance, the Shaolin monks thought he might have a little Buddhist connection, so they first accepted him as a lay disciple and wanted to observe. If it was appropriate, then consider slandering him.
Here is a narrative topic. In our book, the inner disciples of Shaolin Temple, that is, those "non-submitted disciples", have a high degree of admission. For example, Master Chunkong, who was picked up by monks when he was still a baby, is considered a rare exception. Normally, those who come to apprenticeship, especially adults, want Shaolin to ordain you to become a monk, have to be a lay disciple for a period of time first, and let them investigate for a few months to years.
And even if you are a lay disciple, no one will accept it... You either bring a letter of recommendation from a local rich man or a high-ranking official, or you must have good qualifications, otherwise why should I accept you?
This type of threshold is basically owned by high schools and sects, and it is a hidden rule and it is natural.
If your sect has almost no threshold to attract some mobs for a long time, it will be a matter of time before the end of the game is over. How can PUA "outer disciples" be a science in themselves?
However, this blessing...at least in terms of personality, it is a standard "mob".
Although he looks very much like the Arhat Vajra, he is actually a very ordinary person. What he pursues is a beautiful woman in money.
We have also mentioned the reason why he came to Shaolin. He just wanted to learn martial arts by his master. He thought that with martial arts skills, no one would dare to laugh at him when he went down the mountain.
So the investigation didn't last long, and Fuyan was driven out by Shaolin.
Please note that he was driven out... just like the "Norveski" brothers who escaped secretly, he did not pass the bronze man formation at all.
He was even worse than those two brothers. At least he went to the Sutra Library to secretly learn a unique skill. But during the period he stayed, he only learned the most basic set of Arhat boxing.
But I never expected that... this guy is also a genius.
In the first decade after being driven down the mountain, Fuyan picked up a broken cassock and his face as a monk without using a cassock. He pretended to be a monk who was a wandering monk and was doing his best to bet on alms.
Almost every day, he kept performing the only martial arts he had learned, that set of Arhat Fist.
In this way, day after day, year after year, after countless repetitions, Fuyan realized something without realizing it...
Generally speaking, Zen martial arts, even the most basic Arhat Fist, requires a certain degree of understanding of Buddhism to reach the highest level. Fuyan was banned by Shaolin before he learned any Buddhism. So his situation was similar to wanting to build a wooden bridge, but he only had wood, other nails, hammers, saws, etc. in his hand.
Logically speaking, no matter how hard you practice this, it will be futile.
But this blessing was so boring that without any support from Zen's mind, based on his years of wandering in the world and his unparalleled proficiency in the Arhat Fist, he successfully pushed this martial arts to a strange realm that his predecessors had never reached.
It turns out that the most common, vulgar and vulgar principles in the world can also be combined with these Zen moves to create a new realm.
To be continued...
