Chapter 23 Sword Competition
Ruan Sang sent Tang Yue back to Kunwu City, and went back directly without staying any longer. During the period when she went to Xuanwu Town, Aunt Shui's husband Ruan Tianyun also came to Kunwu City. He came specifically to express his gratitude and brought many gifts from the Ruan family. Most of these gifts went into the city's public treasury, leaving only one or two for Tang Yue. She simply didn't want to talk to Tang Wenhua about this. It's just that Tang Wenhua didn't care much about Tang Yue and didn't communicate much with her, so he didn't notice Tang Yue's resistance.
Aunt Shui saw that she was unhappy, "How could Auntie forget you? Didn't you sign up for the Taoism Conference? I invited a famous Taoist master from Wuji Mountain to give you a lecture. He once gave There were questions at the Dao Discussion Conference. After listening to his lecture, at least you will not be eliminated in the first round of the Dao Discussion Conference."
After hearing this, Tang Yue immediately became happy. There were not many skilled Taoist masters in Kunwu City, so they could not help her prepare for the Taoist conference. "Thank you, aunt, for being kind to me."
Ruan Ying knew that her life was no longer in danger these days. She returned to her old style, "Cousin, that concubine actually forced you to come here and have to participate in the Taoism Conference. It is really unreasonable."
She guessed Tang Yue with her own ideas, the Taoism Conference was too boring , it lasted for a long time, and there were some old scholars saying things that people couldn’t understand. How could Tang Yue, a young girl who loves to play around, like this?
Tang Yue smiled and did not follow her words, "Cousin, it's not that Tang Wan did anything to me. I also think that participating in the Dao Conference is a good learning opportunity, and I can communicate with Liuzhou Continent The famous monks exchanged and discussed. "
In order to practice, she was forced to study the Taoist scriptures, and later realized the mystery of the Taoist scriptures. The world of monks has its own theoretical system that is different from science. In some places, it is a different explanation of the same thing. She corroborated the two aspects, deepened her understanding of Taoism and science, and gradually developed her own knowledge system.
This kind of intellectual pleasure is something Ruan Ying doesn’t understand.
Although the monks in Kunwu City have great experience in swordsmanship and can exchange some swordsmanship, Taoism is not what they are good at.
Therefore, Tang Yue had long thought of a place where he could discuss Taoism and communicate with other monks to see if his ideas were valuable. It was not entirely to prove that he did not cheat in the year-end exam.
Ruan Ying only thought that Tang Yue said this to comfort everyone. She must have unknown pain deep in her heart and felt that she must seek justice for her cousin.
She felt that her cousin was too useless. Not only could she not handle a concubine, but she was also suppressed in every aspect. She needed to help Tang Yue, so that she could repay Tang Yue's life-saving grace. "Cousin, you don't have to be so far-fetched, let me stand up for you." She had already forgotten that she was almost killed by someone, and immediately I have to punish the "bitch" for others again.
Tang Yue was a little scared when he thought of the reason why she came to Kunwu City, and immediately stopped her: "Cousin, it doesn't have to be like this, I am usually pretty good, and no one has bullied me."
But Ruan Ying didn't listen and insisted on "repaying the favor." She didn't know what Ruan Ying was going to do, so she could only wait anxiously for the next day.
Ruan Ying said she wanted to see the school in Kunwu City. During the few days she lived in Kunwu City, she and Tang Yue went to the school to listen to lectures. Today happened to be a swordsmanship course, and she said she wanted to see the school in Kunwu City. The swordsmanship of my city.
The swordsmanship course is required for all disciples in the Qi refining period. The disciples compete in groups and are guided by the swordsman master. This way, the progress is faster. After all, for swordsmanship, true knowledge comes from actual combat.
Disciples can choose their own opponents, or they can take the initiative to challenge. Tang Yue thought that Ruan Ying's cultivation level was similar to his own. She did not practice swordsmanship and was easily injured, so he proposed to let her team up with him.
However, Ruan Ying had her own ideas. She walked to the competition stage, where Tang Wan and Zhou Huaisu stood, talking.
Ruan Ying said sternly to Tang Wan, "You, a concubine, have bullied my sister a lot. Today I will challenge you."
Tang Yue was shocked. The opponent's cultivation and swordsmanship were much higher than her cousin's. She was actually sure of winning?
"Cousin, it doesn't have to be like this. You and I can practice as a team. Sword fighting is no joke."
However, Ruan Ying didn't answer her. She thought of Tang Wan when she saw him. The little bitch who had harmed her was very angry and decided to compete with Tang Wan: "The concubine can't stand on the stage after all, and now she doesn't dare to compete with me."
Tang Wan was also angry. I have been avoiding this cousin in the house every day. When Ruan Ying came to the house when she was young, she and Tang Yue would often bully her. Fortunately, she was smart since she was a child and never suffered a disadvantage.
Now is the time when she wants to establish her own image, so she doesn’t want to conflict with Ruan Ying and has to avoid him at every turn.
But Ruan Ying provoked her in public today. If she didn't retaliate, wouldn't everyone think that she, Tang Wan, was weak and could be bullied?
"Okay, I promise to compete with you to see the exquisite swordsmanship of Wuji Mountain. Let us have the first competition."
Chu Tianshu is also a participant in this swordsmanship course. Teacher, although he is young, his swordsmanship is better than that of ordinary Jindan monks, so Zixiao Mansion invites him to teach Qi Refining Stage monks.
When he saw a conflict between Tang Wan and a girl, he felt worried, so he walked to the competition stage and said, "In this case, I will be the person in charge of the first competition."
Tang Yue had a bad feeling in her heart. Usually the vicious supporting characters who are hostile to the male and female protagonists will be slapped in the face and used as cannon fodder. Today, my cousin caught up with this script?
But there was nothing she could do to stop her. She could only watch the sword fight between the two. In the original book, Ruan Ying was just a idiot who was better than Tang Yue. How could she defeat Tang Wan, who had a higher level of cultivation than her.
The battle was about to be defeated after just a few moves. Ruan Ying swung her sword, and a few drops of liquid spilled out with the sword, flying towards Tang Wan. She couldn't dodge, and the liquid was about to splash. On her body.
Chu Tianshu on the side saw this and hurriedly flew onto the stage, caught Tang Wan, raised his hand, and used his spiritual power to force the unknown liquid back. This time, Ruan Ying's situation was urgent, and she had not reacted yet. .
Seeing this, Tang Yue hurriedly shot out the flying talisman and immediately formed a defensive barrier in the air to block the unknown liquid. A few drops of water flowed along the transparent barrier onto the stage, and a big pit burned out in a moment. Tang Yue was speechless. She didn't know what kind of hatred there was between her cousin and Tang Wan.
Seeing how vicious this thing was, Chu Tianshu said angrily: "The Qi Refining monks' sword competition is meant for friendly exchanges and mutual improvement. Miss Ruan Ying came all the way, why did she go out of her way to Hurt everyone in Kunwu City. "
Ruan Ying was a little embarrassed after the poisonous plot was exposed. She just wanted to make Tang Wan look embarrassed. Sprinkling this poison on the Qi Refining monk would only dissolve his clothes. The monk reacted. It won't hurt if done right.
She also didn’t expect that the stone competition stone platform in Kunwu City would be so impatient that a big pit would melt out.
The Qi Refining Monk Competition will not consume too much. In order to save costs, Kunwu City did not build a very good platform for the Qi Refining Monk, so these few drops of liquid had such a terrifying effect.
Chu Tianshu also knew that the liquid should not cause much harm. He was just angry that someone dared to hurt Tang Wan in public. This was his junior sister who he loved like his own sister.
"According to the rules of Kunwu City, no other methods can be used to injure people arbitrarily during a swordsmanship competition. Violators will have one arm cut off. Now it should also be implemented in accordance with the law." He looked fierce and drew his sword to cut off Ruan Ying's arm.
Ruan Ying was frightened and hurriedly stepped off the stage and hid behind Tang Yue.
Tang Yue thought that this rule was to punish the offending disciples based on the severity of their injuries. Now the male protagonist actually cut off the person's arm as soon as he came up. It was really overbearing.
"Senior brother, cousin Ruan is not from Kunwu. She is a guest from Wuji Mountain. Whether she should be punished or not should be decided separately."
Chu Tianshu became even more angry. , "Tang Yue, I haven't settled the score with you yet. Did you instigate this woman to poison your sister again? You hate your sister so much, but you are just jealous that she is highly talented and has won the heart of the city lord. How can this be hers? Wrong?"
Tang Wan on the side was not idle, "Senior brother, I don't think my sister meant it." She didn't say it was not Tang Yue.
Now Tang Yue is not happy either. The male protagonist’s domineering character had made her very excited when she read the novel. Why does it sound so annoying now?
"Brother, why did you open your mouth to slander my innocence? Do you also want to take the opportunity to chop off my arm? I, Tang Yue, will never suffer this injustice. I will go to Taiping Mansion to file a complaint and restore my innocence!"
Okay, don’t take the swordsmanship class today. If she’s not happy, then neither will anyone else.
After saying that, he took his cousin and walked out of the school. He secretly used the magic weapon to speed up his walking. He also did not forget to send a message to Shui Yingrou, aunt and his wife, asking them to come to Taiping Mansion quickly, otherwise cousin I can't save even one arm.
Chu Tianshu also couldn't figure out why Tang Yue wanted to go to Taiping Mansion to sue her. He hurriedly chased the two girls, but couldn't catch up. Later, he realized that Tang Yue might have used some magic weapon.
When he arrived at the gate of Taiping Mansion, he saw Tang Yue beating the drum of injustice, surrounded by a circle of people watching the fun. They were very curious: "Who can bring injustice to the city lord lady."
Tang Yue shouted while knocking, "I beg the Taiping Mansion to give me justice. Chu Tianshu, who tainted my innocence!" A girl would do such a cruel thing.
Chu Tianshu also frowned, "Tang Yue, what are you talking about?" You can't do anything without permission near Taiping Mansion, and he can't stop Tang Yue from playing the drum.
The head of the Taiping Mansion has heard from the doorkeeper that the second lady of the City Lord's Mansion beat the drum of injustice at the door.
The facts reported by the disciple were somewhat unclear. He mistakenly thought that Chu Tianshu had really done something to the second lady. He felt that this matter was too big and he couldn't stand it, so he immediately sent a letter to the city lord.
Then he hurried out and invited Tang Yue and others to come in and play drums. He was a little worried. This matter related to Miss Tang's reputation and was not suitable for trial in court.
But Tang Yue said directly: "Master, I want to sue the city lord's disciple Chu Tianshu."
