Exorcism

Only twenty disciples successfully entered the third round, and Shen Hao was unfortunately eliminated. Meng Yuanhou took a little longer to evaluate him, and finally said: "Alas, there is no suitable twenty-second person for you to be your opponent, and you don't have to Compared.

After lunch, there was still a little time before the martial arts competition. The teenagers from Yelin Town were chatting in the martial arts field next to the main house. Shen Hao was extremely frustrated. He punched and kicked the big tree and complained to his friends, "If I had used more force, If I had strength—actually I could—I wouldn’t be so unlucky.”

Fangfang didn't pass the test either. In fact, all the female disciples stopped in the second round, even the two Taoist disciples. Meng Yuanhou only said one sentence about this, "Everyone has their own strengths. It is obvious to stimulate their fighting spirit and potential." It’s not your strong point.”

The only young men from Yelin Town who could participate in the afternoon competition were Xiao Qiu and Erliang Shen Xiuwei. The latter's excitement was in sharp contrast to Shen Hao's frustration, "I can do better. There are a few yellow spots on my stick. The teacher didn’t notice. Brother Xiaoqiu, although I can’t beat you, I might be able to defeat you with a little more effort.”

"Haven't you won a lot? Even if you have gold and silver in your hands, I also want to win a few." Xiaoqiu did not give in, but he was in a great mood. Competition with his friends was so enjoyable.

Daliang Shen Xiuming patted his younger brother's shoulder affectionately, "You have to win, you must win. One gold soul is refined from a thousand taels of gold. If you get three more, you will have four. Let's never win again." Not afraid of being homeless.”

"Of course I'm not afraid. I will use them to make the best magic weapon in the future."

"The magic weapon can be used to deal with it. You should exchange the gold and silver soul for something more useful, such as buying a house in Xijie City or something."

"I don't want it. We will be Taoist priests from now on. What do we need a house for? I want to exchange... I also want to exchange for a group of pigs, cows and sheep. I will kill one a day and treat everyone to a banquet."

"Idiot, what should I do if I eat it all?"

…

The two Shen brothers were arguing over how to deal with the gold and silver soul, and the others were laughing and joking, supporting one thing and another, and sometimes helping to come up with more bad ideas.

Xiaoqiu was happy when she found Fangfang outside the crowd waving to her.

Fangfang was sitting alone on the stone bench. Xiao Qingtao was not with her, but was teasing Erliang Shen Xiuwei with the others. Fangfang patted the seat next to her and motioned for Xiaoqiu to sit down.

Xiaoqiu was surprised and a little embarrassed. Fangfang had always been shy and rarely made special expressions to Xiaoqiu in front of outsiders. Today was uncharacteristically true.

Xiaoqiu sat down and asked angrily in a low voice: "Is something wrong?"

"Well, who are you going to play against this afternoon?"

"Of course Shen Geng, as long as Meng Dujiao doesn't assign me to anyone else."

"No matter what Meng Dujiao arranges, I hope you don't choose Shen Geng."

"Why? Are you afraid that I can't beat him?" Xiaoqiu asked in surprise. He always thought that Fangfang had full confidence in him.

Fangfang smiled and pointed at Xiao Qingtao in the crowd, "Her cousin Pei Zihan wants to compete with you."

Among the three Pei siblings in Furong Mountain, only Pei Zihan passed the test. His stick skills were very good. While stimulating his potential, his skills were also more mature than most. Marquis Meng Yuan once commented on him: "You are like filling a bottle with water." The skin is perfect, but it lacks a bit of ferocity, you have to show the energy to burst the water. "

Pei Zihan never did it.

"What's going on?" Xiaoqiu understood that there must be a reason for such a request.

"Shen Ji didn't beat you in the morning. He was humiliated by his brother at noon. He already held a grudge, but he didn't want to compete with you anymore. Instead, he chose Pei Zihan. He said, 'Pangshan is missing a little non-monster. It’s not a loss.”

Xiaoqiu frowned. No matter how much Meng Yuanhou paid attention to it, everyone regarded this competition as a game before the official entry. Those who won were happy, those who lost were frustrated, nothing more. Shen Geng and Shen Ji seemed to be too serious. .

"Pei Zihan is scared?"

"One thing is that he doesn't want to be seriously injured by Shen Ji and be embarrassed in front of everyone, but he doesn't dare to win because he is afraid of forging more grudges. It doesn't matter if others win or lose, but he is a demon. He can't find anyone else Help, so..."

Xiaoqiu scratched his head. He really wanted to play against Shen Geng. Meng Yuanhou was right. Strong opponents can bring out more potential. Xiaoqiu felt that he could do better, "You can't change people with Pei Zi." Can we play against each other? Erliang... Erliang can, he hasn’t decided on his opponent yet, I’ll tell him.”

Xiaoqiu feels that this method has the best of both worlds.

"I can't help it. Even if I turn my back to him, I will still become enemies. It would be like fighting face to face." Xiao Qiu shrugged, and then smiled, "Let Shen Geng know that he is not that powerful, and maybe he will be more honest."

The competition was about to begin, and everyone walked towards the courtyard. Xiao Qingtao came over and said timidly: "Brother Xiaoqiu, thank you."

Even if they were together every day, Xiaoqiu would still be so tired of hearing her voice that her hair stood on end. She replied vaguely, "Nothing." She quickly ran forward and walked with Erliang Shen Xiuwei, and explained the situation in a low voice. Once again, he suggested that he challenge Pei Zihan later.

Erliang shook his head firmly, "Brother Xiaoqiu, I will listen to you on other matters, but this won't work. My opponent must be one of the two Shen brothers. If you choose Shen Geng, I will choose Shen Ji. You If I had to choose someone else, I would choose Shen Geng. Strong opponents can bring out more potential-" Erliang blinked, "I also want to be the first."

"Besides, this matter is not difficult to solve. As long as Shen Ji responds to my challenge, wouldn't Pei Zihan be fine? Really, it turns out that non-monsters are so timid, and there is no need for Taoist priests to be wary of them."

Xiaoqiu was unable to convince Erliang Shen Xiuwei, which resulted in a slight chaos before the third round of competition began.

Before Meng Yuanhou showed up, Erliang strode towards Shen Ji and challenged him before everyone else. Shen Ji finally used healing medicine to remove the bruises on his face and gave him a cold look. Accepting his challenge, he walked towards Pei Zihan.

Pei Zihan looked very flustered, his eyes flickered, and a layer of sweat broke out on his round face. He wanted to walk towards Xiaoqiu to avoid Shen Ji, but he did not dare to move his feet. When he left home to come to Pangshan to learn Taoism, Pei's sister My younger brother has received strict orders from his elders: Never cause trouble in Pangshan, and be content with the situation at all times.

The elders did not say how the three siblings would respond if someone else took the initiative to stir up trouble.

Xiao Qiu has been standing there, and Shen Geng has not moved. He has challenged Mu Xingqiu in a special way, and is now waiting reservedly for the opponent to come and challenge.

Xiaoqiu sighed silently and walked up to Pei Zihan in two steps, just a little earlier than Shen Ji, "I challenge you."

Pei Zihan immediately agreed with a grateful tone and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaoqiu chose to fight Pei Zihan not entirely because of Fangfang's plea and Xiao Qingtao's gratitude, but more because of her disgust with the behavior of the Shen brothers. They stubbornly regarded all non-monsters as abhorrent people, which made Xiao Qingtao Qiu thought about the fact that he and his friends had come into contact with demon species. Maybe one day, Shen Geng would declare that the teenagers in Yelin Town were "devil cubs" and unclean things, and everyone should stay away from them.

Shen Ji obviously didn't expect that someone would beat him, especially Mu Xingqiu. He was stunned on the spot, turned to look at his brother Shen Geng, and then said in a low-pitched voice that could be heard by everyone around him: "You two All are cowards."

Pei Zihan lowered his head and said nothing. The word "coward" was not too insulting to him. Xiaoqiu snorted and suppressed the sarcasm in his heart.

The onlookers were also surprised. Everyone thought that Mu Xingqiu and Shen Geng would definitely face each other in the third round, creating an exciting competition. Unexpectedly, Xiaoqiu actually avoided the fight.

Speculations and rumors sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, growing rapidly from more than a hundred mouths. Shen Hao and others fought hard to refute Xiaoqiu's claim that Xiao Qiu was a coward, but they could not find much evidence.

Fangfang did not join the debate. It was beyond her expectation that Xiaoqiu's change of opponent would have such a big impact. Beside her, Xiao Qingtao was trembling slightly and wanted to curl up on the ground with her head in her arms.

Only Erliang Shen Xiuwei was happy about this. He could choose a stronger opponent. He immediately turned to Shen Geng and said in a respectful and firm tone: "Fellow Taoist Shen Geng, I want to challenge you."

He still has a deep affection for Shen Geng and feels deeply honored to be able to play against him.

Shen Geng didn't respond, looking at the ground a few steps away, as if there was something more worthy of his attention there - he was waiting for his brother Shen Ji to change the situation.

Shen Ji walked between Xiaoqiu and Pei Zihan, looking like his brother, not looking at anyone, just staring at the ground, "Pei Zihan is mine, Mu Xingqiu, if you still have some dignity..."

Before Marquis Meng Yuan arrived, the voice had already come, "Have you chosen your opponents?" In the blink of an eye, he was already standing among twenty disciples, making final arrangements. The first thing he did was to punish those who were not in the right position. Shin has named an opponent. ww. a.c

"You must use all your strength. Remember, this competition is not about winning, but about how hard you work. It's good to keep the distance. Others shouldn't just watch the fun. You have to reflect on why you use it even though you have potential. Not coming out? Laziness, yes, it is laziness, it will also be your most stubborn and powerful enemy when you practice heaven-defying techniques in the future..."

Meng Yuanhou took the opportunity to teach his disciples and then announced the start.

Pei Zihan was the kind of person who was slow to start. He first relied on flexible footwork to avoid the enemy's attack. The color of the stick in his hand changed one by one. He was not in a hurry. When the stick reached green, he turned from defense to attack.

Xiaoqiu was just the opposite, with extremely strong explosive power. Not long after the fight started, the stick turned green, and then gradually turned to yellow, making it indistinguishable from Pei Zihan.

On the other side, Shen Geng reluctantly accepted Erliang Shen Xiuwei's challenge. The latter's style was similar to Xiao Qiu's. She turned the stick into emerald green at the beginning. Shen Geng's stick still stayed in dark red, but he dealt with it easily. , with seven points of defense and three points of offense, Erliang couldn't take advantage at all.

The competition was in full swing, and Meng Yuanhou, as usual, walked around the crowd and encouraged each disciple with harsh words.

Things happened quite suddenly. Meng Yuanhou wandered near Mu Xingqiu and Pei Zihan, with his back to the other side of the venue. At this moment——

Shen Geng's stick suddenly turned dark yellow!

At the same moment, he turned from defense to offense and struck Erliang Shen Xiuwei in the heart with a lightning-like stick.
