Chapter 198: Challenge in the martial arts arena
Hearing that disciple's words, Zhu Hong's gaze flickered in the sunlight, bursting out with a flash of cold killing opportunity.
In Zhu Hong's opinion, the matter of challenging Meng Niu Ba through the martial arts arena was indeed reliable, if Meng Niu Ba dared to accept his challenge, then it would surely be a dead man, it was a common thing to have a death or injury in a challenge.
Almost without thinking, Zhu Hong immediately made up his mind and planned to go to the martial arts arena to challenge Meng Niu Ba!
Moreover, fearing that Meng Niu Ba would not accept his challenge, he also took out a short knife, took a look at the door of Meng Niu Ba's room, and after a little thought, he scratched on the door, and ended up carving out a picture.
Those disciples beside him were curious at first, not knowing what Zhu Hong was scratching on Meng Niu Ba's door, but later, when they saw and understood, they laughed!
Only to see Zhu Hong drew a bull on Meng Fan's door, the bull tilted its head, looked very fierce look, and pulled a big pile of poop behind it ……
Zhu Hong's drawing skills are very good, this picture is very vivid, after he finished drawing, he squinted his eyes and looked at it, feeling a lot of relief in his heart, murmuring, "A fierce cow is pooping, fierce cow poop, Meng cow bully, hahaha ……"
"Brother Zhu's drawing is great wow, I guess that Meng Niu Ba will definitely be on fire when he sees this drawing!"
"Must be, if I were that Meng Niu Ba, seeing this painting, I would definitely accept the challenge right away!"
The crowd praised Zhu Hong's whimsical thinking, with this painting, it is estimated that the Tiger Yang talisman can save a lot, since Meng Niu Ba is a ruthless person, seeing this painting will definitely accept the challenge without hesitation!
Zhu Hong smiled coldly, whisked his sleeve away, and then, went straight to the martial arts arena to launch the challenge.
The martial arts arena was a high platform located on the east side of Tiger Yang Guan.
Hundreds of years ago, Hu Yang Mountain experienced a military turmoil, the Taoist temple was burned down, many Taoist priests died in the battle, the corpses were dug up and buried on the spot, and when the later generations rebuilt the Taoist temple, they built a martial arts arena in the place where the corpses were buried, in order to sharpen the disciples' minds and motivate them to cultivate diligently.
In addition, the martial arts arena has another use, that is, you can challenge others here …… By challenging others, to make up for their own shortcomings, to enhance their own strength, but also for the onlookers is also very beneficial.
Therefore, for this kind of challenge between disciples, Tiger Yang Guan is very supportive.
Only later this kind of challenge will gradually change the flavor, become a way to solve personal conflicts, as the disciple said, the sword, life and death do not matter, often there will be disciples in the martial arts field to fight to the death.
And this kind of challenge is also the most beautiful to watch.
Of course, to challenge others, they also need to pay a certain price, otherwise others will not necessarily accept your challenge, no profit not early well …… Usually, the challenger needs to pay a certain amount of Tiger Yang talisman, if the challenge fails, the Tiger Yang talisman will return to the other side.
The Tiger Yang talisman is a kind of talisman with a marked amount of money, which can be used as money directly in the Tiger Yang Guan …… such as purchasing some talismans, magic weapons, pills …… and so on, and even daily necessities such as soap, towels and so on can be purchased with the Tiger Yang talisman.
What's more, the Tiger Yang Talisman can also be used to borrow secret books of the mind and acquire subtle Taoist techniques.
Therefore, the Tiger Yang Talisman is something that is more than enough, just like the food stamps that used to be necessary for every household.
Today, the sun was shining brightly, the two flagpoles on the martial arts arena were waving in the wind, some disciples were practicing their techniques on the arena, the sound of roaring and drinking was rising and falling, a lively scene.
Zhu Hong swept a glance at the martial arts field, then walked into the martial arts field of a gate room, through the disciple on duty, launched a challenge to the Meng Niu Ba, the price paid is five hundred Tiger Yang symbols, because often spend, he saved Tiger Yang symbols is not a lot of, five hundred is already enough to meat pain.
Moreover, coupled with that picture of a fierce bull pooping, he was not afraid that Meng Niu Ba would not agree.
"Is Senior Brother Zhu going to challenge Meng Niu Ba?"
The disciple on duty's expression was calm at first, challenges were commonplace, it was considered a norm in Tiger Yang Guan, but when he heard that the person Zhu Hong was challenging was Meng Niu Ba, his expression became wonderful, and he instantly increased his efficiency, he was also eager to see how the fierce man Meng Niu Ba, who had been rumored to be so prevalent in the past couple of days, was actually strong, and whether or not he was just making up for his reputation… …
As for Zhu Hong's strength, he naturally knew about it, he was on the top of Tiger Yang Guan's challenge list, with several undefeated records, not only did he used to be known as the number one big disciple of the outer gate, he also had a title, called Dragon Gate Killer, which meant that, in the face of cultivators below the fifth level of Spirit Condensation, who had not yet jumped the Dragon Gate, he was nearly invincible.
Meng Niu Ba versus Zhu Hong, that disciple on duty subconsciously felt that this Meng Niu Ba is going to be miserable this time, he just became famous, how did he mess with such a character as Zhu Hong, I'm afraid that he is going to have his reputation swept away.
"That's fine, this challenge has taken effect."
After the disciple on duty completed the formalities, he gave Zhu Hong a talisman seal, if Meng Niu Ba accepts the challenge, that talisman seal will change color, and Zhu Hong will be able to come to the martial arts arena to challenge.
"Meng Niu Ba ……" Zhu Hong clutched that talisman seal and walked out with great ambition, even his walking footsteps became lighter, "Don't be a shrunken head turtle you kid, I'm waiting for you na! "
After Zhu Hong left, the disciple on duty followed the usual practice and posted a notice on the martial arts arena, which contained the names of the two challenging parties, as well as the amount of the mortgaged Tiger Yang Talisman.
Those disciples who are practicing in the martial arts arena, saw the newly posted notice, have gathered over …… when they saw that Zhu Hong was challenging Meng Niu Ba, they immediately got excited, and felt that this challenge must be interesting, and quickly spread the news, and opened a betting game according to the old rules, the odds are one to two, if the bet on Meng Niu Ba's victory, the person can get a chance to win the bet, and then the person can win the bet. The odds were one to two, and if the person who bet on Mengniu's victory would win, he or she would receive twice the betting money.
Of course, the betting money was also settled with the Tiger Yang talisman.
However, after all, Meng Niu Ba was a newcomer, and the crowd didn't know much about him, on the contrary, they knew Zhu Hong very well, and the number of people who bet on Meng Niu Ba was very small, so it could be seen that they didn't think too highly of Meng Niu Ba.
And at this time, Meng Fan was still unaware of all of this, he was still in a bit of trouble in the scripture hall.
"Grandpa Wu, please let Senior Brother Niu Ba go in." Junior Daoist Li Yi cried and looked at the old man Wu Zhiwei who was guarding the scripture hall, and begged bitterly, "Senior Brother Niu Ba was promoted through the Guan Master's breakthrough, and is not required to listen to the scriptures for three days ……."
"Without three days of listening to the scriptures, you may not enter the scripture hall! The old man has been guarding the scripture hall for a lifetime and has never broken this rule!" The old man's face was full of wrinkles and his white hair was sparse, he had to be about eighty years old, and he couldn't even comb his Taoist hair in a bun …… as he spoke with a slack-jawed face, his gaze staring indifferently at Meng Fan, "Especially a disciple like you, who has been promoted through killing, is not allowed to enter the Hall of Scripture until you have listened to the Scriptures!
