The stand-in is my wife.

They were stepping on bamboo poles floating on the river, coming and going freely like startled swans, occasionally cooperating with each other, and never bumping into each other.

"Crossing the river with a reed?!"

Amanozaki looked at this scene and shouted in surprise.

In the Yangtze River Basin on Earth, the legend of crossing the river with a reed is also popular, and CCTV-10 has also filmed such popular science videos.

This skill originated from the loggers of the Yangtze River. They cut down trees in the upper reaches. In order to save time and transportation costs, they would throw the wood into the river and send the wood downstream with the billions of runoffs of the surging river water.

In order to ensure that these woods would not be stranded halfway, there were often people holding a long bamboo pole to control it. Later, it evolved into a special cultural activity in which the operator stood on the bamboo pole and held the bamboo pole to keep balance.

The big river in this world is somewhat similar to the Yangtze River on Earth, so it is not surprising that similar cultures have emerged.

It seems that the technique of crossing the river with a reed has also been actively absorbed by the Wudang Branch and has become a common technique.

Seeing this scene, Amanozaki finally knew the confidence of the Wudang Branch to lock the river.

Humans are land animals. Except for the innate water-related supernatural powers, it is difficult for normal people to exert their full strength underwater.

Even if the knights trained in Wudang Mountain follow the acquired path, those boxing and sword techniques are all ground-based skills. If a competition is to be held, the knights must go into the water.

But if they go into the water, they are easily attacked by schools of strange fish. Even a 300-ton patrol boat like the Sobianyu is struggling to face the strange fish in the river, let alone those sampans?

But if everyone knows the skill of crossing the river with a reed, it will be another matter.

There are piles of bamboo poles on both sides, fresh and old, and several docks regularly throw these "foundation stones" into the river. The white-clothed knights of Wudang come and go freely on these "reeds". Because there is a constant supply of replenishment, they don't worry about the damage of the four-clawed scale fish at all.

What's more, there are knights guarding in the sky. Once a contestant steps on the air or falls into the water, there will naturally be someone to rescue him.

Hundreds of people were floating around, wielding swords and slicing through the waves, showing the majestic spirit of a river swordsman.

Amanosaki was overjoyed.

"Hey, can you do those moves?"

Shiyu was obviously attracted by this scene. Today, she was a writer and liked romance the most. The fairy-tale scene unfolding in front of her hit her sweet spot.

Amanosaki grabbed his chin and said, "I can directly use magic to strengthen bamboo, crush it with one foot and fly hundreds of meters, but I can't do this..."

He pointed at the scene of being as flexible as a sparrow, with his toes touching the middle of the bamboo, and lightly jumping up. The bamboo sank into the water and then squeezed through the scarlet river water again to float up, and the leaves were green and dripping.

"It's so easy."

He exhaled and sighed that he was inferior.

"Why don't you go and steal the master's skills?" Shiyu immediately urged, "If you learn this, you will look much better in the future, and you won't have to use the turtle punch anymore."

"You can't beat the master with random punches? The young are better than the strong!" Amanozaki squeezed his biceps and rolled his eyes, "I am from the Yushan branch now, and I have no chance to learn these things. Unless you become Hinata Hyuga, and then dig out your white eyes and give them to me, then I may still learn them."

"Hmm..." Shiyu lowered her head and pondered.

Seeing this, Amanozaki immediately waved his hands: "I'm kidding! Don't take it seriously! This is not anime, and it's impossible to dig out the eyeballs and put them in and use them!"

Chapter 115: I want to go out and play too

It's hard to describe the mood of Amanozaki and others in words.

The office of the Wudang branch is not in Wudang Mountain, but in a huge city built along Dongting Lake.

Therefore, Wudang Mountain was able to get rid of the embarrassing situation of being covered by dense modern buildings with redundant people, and retained the ancient rhythm.

So to be precise, the branch of Dongting Province is called Wudang, and the area of ​​Wudang Mountain is actually a hall called Wudang Alliance.

This complex structure is a phenomenon created by time and compromise in real society.

Amanozaki and others are watching as special guests at the foot of Wudang Mountain, beside Taiji Lake.

This large artificially widened lake will be used as a trophy display point today to store all the queen fish caught by the knights.

Most of the knights on the five ships have no interest in sitting and watching others show off. After obtaining consent, they went up the mountain to worship the Taoist temple.

Amanozaki could only look at these people with large and small bags on their backs, under the command of the beautiful tour guide lady waving a red flag, heading towards the mountain road and the Taoist temples dotted on the mountain like a string of pearls.

"I now understand what people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being fat."

Amanozaki said sullenly, stuffing mung bean cakes into his mouth.

He, Lin Shuyu, Li Junzi, and a few knights from the Sobianyu were all "voluntarily" left here.

After all, Zhang Yiyi had said from the beginning that he wanted to ask him for "guidance", and Amanosaki really couldn't refuse the invitation.

But he and Lin Shuyu, who had activated the [Heavenly Man Appearance], relied on their keen hearing to still learn the real reason why they were restricted from moving from the knights whispering nearby.

Amanosaki, the unlucky star, caused trouble wherever he went, a walking bomb, a disaster star of the branch.

In order to avoid bad luck, the Wudang Alliance was determined not to allow him to enter the mountain.

The original words of those knights were:

"Still burning incense? We are better off burning incense for him, please ask the abbots to send him away quickly!"

Just this sentence made Amanosaki, who didn't read much idle books on Earth, ask Lin Shuyu how "abbot" became the title of the head of the Taoist temple.

Listening to Lin Shuyu's explanation, he looked at the crowds of people around him. Colorful flags and red sails were hung around the high platform, dragons and lions were dancing, swords were acrobatic, and it was very lively to play with fire and control water.

Even though Taiji Lake is no longer green, it is as red as a gem.

Not to mention many knights who were rejected from the auditions and could not participate in the competition. They started outdoor live broadcasts on the spot. They found people to compete with each other and played offline PK while introducing the knights of Shengjing to the audience.

Amanozaki no longer knows how many times he smiled and waved at the approaching knight. He just felt that his apple muscles were almost numb.

The squares and promenades around Tai Chi Lake are full of small juggler teams. They are all hired by Wudang to heat up the atmosphere. The knights who enjoy the popular live broadcast here have become small attractions to attract tourists, so Wudang is very tolerant of these knights.

After all, it’s not like traveling all the way.

As for the knights who failed to be selected, Wudang kicked them back to the back of the mountain for training without any courtesy.

Amanozaki saw with his own eyes a Taoist priest who grabbed a student by the ear, pointed at a knight who was controlling a puppet to play tabletop basketball, and angrily lectured him:

"If you can't choose, you can go home and plant flowers and grass and open a greenhouse, and you can earn a few hundred thousand a year. If you don't work as a ranger in the Forestry Bureau, you can make money even if you go out to perform. You don't have any bullshit powers, and you don't have to study hard. The money your parents paid is all in vain! How can you sleep and play at your age?"

This scene made Amanozaki feel extremely familiar, and he felt that he had seen a different world version of the college entrance examination chicken soup tutor.

There is no need to bear the heavy responsibility of gathering and dispersing knights from all over the province. The Wudang Mountain in this world adheres to the model of teaching from the top to the bottom. The top and back mountains are places for knights to learn the path of the acquired world, and the renovated and newly built Taoist temples on the main road are opened as tourist attractions.

Relying on the "filial piety" of the endless stream of pilgrims every year and those who try to express themselves in front of the Taoist priests and beg for entry into practice, the Wudang Mountain Alliance has made a lot of money.

The Wudang Alliance has also become one of the few organizations in the country that can live a very prosperous life on its own without the need for government subsidies.

They even subsidize a large amount of money to the sub-rudder every year to maintain their transcendent status within the sub-rudder.

This is also the reason why nearly a thousand knights in Jiang Shang now belong to Wudang.

For other branches, dozens of knights would be a normal phenomenon.

Not only the population, but also the jurisdiction of the Wudang Alliance is huge, including the entire Wudang Mountain and four or five surrounding towns.

Even Lin Shuyu and Li Junzi were dazzled by this unprecedented scene in Yushan. Kasumigaoka Shiyu was sitting aside, typing like he was playing the piano with his laptop open.

These fresh scenery and atmosphere gave her a lot of inspiration.

“I can see another reason why Wu-Tang Branch is hosting this tournament.”

Lin Shuyu, who seemed to be infected by the lively crowd and had a bright smile on his face, said to Amanozaki.

"The impact of the extermination order is not only on politics and the economy of the river basin, but also has a huge impact on the people in the basin. Only now do we realize that there are monster groups on the riverside where we grew up that deserve to be taken seriously by the country. Watching people from all walks of life every day The corpses floating down the river and the river turning red and smelly would make anyone nervous."

"Look at how happy these tourists are." Lin Shuyu pointed to the happy crowd. The children were riding on their father's backs, laughing happily. The wives were nestling in their husbands' arms and acting coquettishly. The old people were being supported by their children and grandchildren, and were tremblingly tasting snacks. , "This competition of Wudang Branch is not only to find reasons to hold activities to have fun with the people, but also to find ways to show strength and rebuild everyone's confidence."

"The person who has the courage to implement this policy must be a great hero." Lin Shuyu sighed sincerely.

"Yes, yes." Amanozaki replied in a daze. He was so bored that he almost fell asleep.

First of all, he must admit that there is a certain danger in gathering crowds in this world.

The big city itself is like a fragrant and huge cake to evil heretics, and when the crowds gather further and reach... the level in front of Amanozaki, then the delicious food will no longer be comparable to the food.

It has to be said that drugs are to addicts.

Therefore, Amanozaki can guarantee that apart from the fact that there is currently only a queen fish with only its front half left and pricked with holes, wars of all sizes must be breaking out near the Wudang Alliance.

And that's exactly what happened.

The best young and middle-aged knights in the entire Dongting Province are participating in the competition, which means that all the tasks of protecting the safety of the people fall on the older generation and the losers.

In Tai Chi Lake, where tens of thousands of people gathered, attracting four or five towns within the Wudang Alliance and countless tourists and anchors, the fighting was particularly fierce.

In the mountains and forests that are invisible to people, on the side of the highway, and in abandoned villages, knights from all walks of life are pouring their blood, working hard so that everyone can enjoy this rare event.

Amanozaki felt that he shouldn't stay here to watch various shows. He hoped that he could go to the river to kill fish, or to slay demons and defend the law with the knights behind the sun.

Although it only took a few days, Amanozaki vowed.

He really wanted to fight the evil heretics.

Just like someone who likes extreme sports, even though it only lasts for a few days, Amanozaki has become accustomed to the stimulation of high-intensity life-and-death battles, the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood.

Snapped.

Shiyu silently put his hands back on the keyboard, looked at him and shook his hands exaggeratedly, looking like he was hurt by being beaten, and pointed around angrily.

'public area! Don't be like a pervert! ’

Amanozaki could only watch his girlfriend typing away bitterly, sighing in his heart.

The last entertainment activity was also ruined.

Chapter 116: The Drunkard in the World

Amanozaki's bored expression could not be concealed.

He was still young, and his expression management and pretense were not good enough, so it was easy for the abbots of the Taoist temples sitting on the high platform to see through his true colors.

Seeing this young man who had killed a province on duty scratching his ears and cheeks, then being confused, and finally listless, everyone was very happy.

It was quite like the Buddha watching Sun Wukong doing somersaults in his palm.

"Friend Nozaki, do you think it's boring here?"

An old man with white hair and a childlike face, a white beard dragging to his waist, and his hair combed meticulously, was leaning on a cane, his head hanging down to the height of the table, and his two turbid eyes staring at Amanozaki without blinking.

Amanozaki, who was almost in a dream, was startled, his whole body trembled slightly, his face was full of energy, and his eyes were absent under his drooping eyelids.

No doubt he almost fell asleep.
