Minglong

Chapter 86: There are no empty warriors under the great reputation

thump~
The figure landed on the ground in the blink of an eye!

Everyone looked and saw that the person coming was a young man, followed by a beautiful woman in white.

Call ~
Everyone on both sides of the river was staring at them. They saw a woman wearing a plain white dress, with a tall figure and a cold and beautiful face. She was holding a sword and looked like a heroine from a book. She even had a bit of the charm of "the most beautiful woman in Taoism".

The young man in white next to him has an even better temperament!
He was wearing a brocade robe with cloud patterns, two weapons hanging from his waist, and his eyes were as cold as a cold spring. After landing, he showed no sign of stage fright or arrogance, but just looked around casually, looking for a seat.

The contestants at the Hexin Round Platform all had distinguished status. Seeing such an arrogant appearance, they couldn't help but murmur:

"This guy is a bit arrogant..."

"Who is it?"

"Flying out from the Crown Prince's stand, carrying a sword, he looks like someone from Zihui Mountain..."

"How can a man not see through his true nature? Could it be that he has no skills?"

"How dare you jump from the fifth floor without any experience?!"

……

As the grandson of the leader of Daqian martial arts, Wei Lu was quite knowledgeable. After taking a quick look at the woman, he recognized that she was a direct descendant of Zihui Mountain.

But the seemingly calm man had a terrifyingly strong aura. He didn't recognize him at all, and his eyes couldn't help but look serious:
"Who are you two?"

Linghu Qingmo was being watched by countless people, but he was not afraid. He held his sword and performed a standard Jianghu salute:

"Zihui Mountain, Linghu Qingmo."

"Thank you, Jinhuan. Nice to meet you."

"..."

As soon as the words fell, there was a noticeable silence around the arena for a moment, and then the sound of thunderous drums rang out:
Gulp~ Gulp~…

The echo drum tests one's ability to remain calm. As long as emotional fluctuations exceed the threshold, whether it is shock and fear, or excitement and excitement, movement will occur.

Most of the dozens of contestants present had been talking about the Danyang case and the mummy case in recent days. They were inevitably surprised when they suddenly saw the main person who broke the formation with a single sword jump out.

The spectators on both sides of the river also started to make noises:

"Oh..."

"Is this the Danyang detective who single-handedly boarded the pirate ship and frightened County Magistrate Wu unconscious?"

"Why is he so young? He looks only about twenty years old..."

"I heard he's Princess Changning's lover. He's really handsome~..."

"Thank you, Master! Look here! Aunt Wanwan is here..."

"Sigh~"

……

Linghu Qingmo originally held his head high and was proud of it.

But when she heard the familiar voice, her heart trembled again and she quickly turned to look at the river bank.

It turned out that the 'first wife' Lin Wanyi was wearing a gorgeous dark green dress, standing at the window of a restaurant, looking at her and Xie Jinhuan from afar!
When Linghu Qingmo suddenly saw Lin Wanyi in this situation, he felt like a mistress accompanying her husband on a trip and ran into the wife on the street. He became nervous instantly!

But it was obviously too late to step down, so he could only nod in response, thinking to himself:
it's over... it's over...

When I get off the stage later, I hope Dr. Lin won’t come and pull my hair...

Isn't she in Danyang? Why is she so clingy?

……

Xie Jinhuan was calm as usual. He smiled at the girl with glasses, looked around, and found that there were no empty seats. So he took Mo Mo and jumped onto the boat on the river, found two empty seats and sat down, sitting cross-legged and waiting for the game to begin.

Zhang Huaiyu had been gazing at Xie Jinhuan the entire time, and seeing that he hadn't said anything introductory, he took the initiative to speak:
"Mr. Xie is a role model for righteousness, willing to risk his life for the common people. But coming here to play house with us is probably too much." If Xie Jinhuan hadn't been saving money to upgrade, he definitely wouldn't be here today. He cupped his hands.

"Brother Zhang, you're overpraising me. I just did what I could. It's not even righteous, so how can I be considered a role model?"

These words are sincere and contain no falsehood!
This can be heard from the echo drum that is as steady as an old dog.

When Zhang Huaiyu saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel pressured.

Knowing how great his achievements are and how good his reputation is, he still insists that he is "not righteous". This is a bit too pretentious.

If you are just being modest, you may feel complacent, proud, or secretly happy in your heart, which will cause the echo drum to have aftereffects, but it will not exceed the threshold.

Xie Jinhuan's direct response of "calm as water" meant that he either had other hidden secrets or felt that he was not on the right path and was telling the truth.

Or he is a true 'gentleman', who, even if he has given everything for the people, still feels that he has not done well enough and has no face to take credit for himself!

Xie Jinhuan took drugs and rushed onto the boat to fight the evil pirates. What hidden secrets could there be that could make him think he was not on the right path?
So this is the mentality of a gentleman, a pure heart...

As expected, there is no false reputation under a great reputation...

Wei Lu knew he was going to lose today before the competition even started.

But he had nothing to say about losing to Xie Jinhuan, a madman who risked his life to slay demons. But he couldn't stand losing to Zhang Huaiyu, a hypocrite. After brewing his emotions, he said:

"let's start."

……

When~——

The Prince of Dan stood on the top floor and personally struck the golden gong, indicating that today's "social death game" had officially begun.

The banks of the river also fell silent, with only the regular, subtle drumbeats to be heard:
Dongdong~Dongdong~……

More than thirty people sat on the echo drum, quietly waiting for the test.

Fan Guangyuan, the owner of Jinlou, said a few words before getting to the point:

"This exam was led by the Dan King's Crown Prince and discussed by the young masters of Wenzheng Street. There are three levels in total. The first two levels are for the finalists. The rules are 'drum sound like thunder, leave the drum surface, and interfere with others'. If you fail, you will be deemed a failure. The first level begins now."

After saying that, he waved towards Jinlou, and several people with good backgrounds came to the center of the stage, carrying a table covered with red cloth.

"The items used in this first stage are treasures that you gentlemen have brought from the ancestral temple. Not only have emperors of all dynasties paid homage to them, but even the Martial Ancestor once offered incense to them. They have been praised by great Confucian scholars as 'the foundation of the state and the root of the people.' I hope you will not be too surprised when you see them..."

"Om..."

Upon hearing this introduction, the spectators on both sides of the river became curious and talked about it among themselves.

All the contestants were also concerned and secretly guessed what it was.

After the table was put down, the owner of the Jinlou pretended to be serious and wiped his hands with a towel, as if he was about to take out some priceless treasure.

When everyone saw this, their hearts naturally rose to their throats. There were even a few contestants who were too nervous and triggered the echo drum at this stage, and were eliminated on the spot.

Even Xie Jinhuan frowned and thought secretly when he saw this:
Could it be that the original 'Long Xiang Fu Ying Jue' was brought out? The ghost wife got it for free on the spot...

Or is it the Daqian Dynasty's secret weapon that Wang Ling wants to see...

But even if everyone made the most daring guess, the following scene still made people feel that they underestimated the bottom line of these playboys!

The owner of the Jinlou had whetted his appetite enough, so he grabbed a corner of the red cloth and suddenly lifted it up:
Hula~
Under the red cloth, a lifelike Yangguan appeared!

The Yangguan originated from the worship of reproduction, and "reproduction" is indeed the foundation of the country and the basis of the people.

This Yang official is extremely lifelike!

The whole is made of natural black jade, one foot in diameter and three feet high. The jade is full and the texture is clear, and it holds its head high and chest out to the sky!

It gives people a sense of dominance, "Ask the fairies in the sky, who dares to come to this world?"
Because it was too solemn and dignified, the painting on the circular platform collapsed instantly after just a moment of appearance, and the entire area around the golden building fell into silence, and then:
dong dong dong~
The drums sound like the tide...
