Chapter 175: Nostalgia

On the first day of May, the Lingzhou Wushu Conference was held as scheduled.
For the sake of fame, for experience, for prizes, or for some deeper purpose, the number and scope of applicants this time not only far exceeded the expectations of bystanders like Zhang Bailing, even Xue Mu had never expected it. To have such a big impact.
The small martial arts halls, lone rangers, and foreign travelers in Lingzhou and the counties under its jurisdiction almost all participated. Nearly 90% of the families sent children to participate in the competition, and nearly 70% of the sects attended the meeting, and even those affiliated sects secretly sent their children to sign up in their own name.
There are about a thousand contestants in total. It seems that there are not many, but in fact, they already cover the nine-point world of Lingzhou.
Not only that, but it also radiated to the surrounding areas. Many people from other states and counties rushed to sign up all the way, which shows how attractive this grand event is to the people of this world. This was because Xue Mu had to do it before the world talked about martial arts, so the interval between propaganda and the event was a few days, which seemed to be relatively rushed, and it was too late for the distant areas. If it takes longer, maybe more people will come.
The big martial arts field, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, is crowded and noisy. Contestants and onlookers are mixed together, and no one can enter. Countless six door catchers were sweating profusely to maintain order, and people were not enough. Zonghengdao spontaneously sent people to help maintain order. Just kidding, they are doing business, and this mess is still a mess. The stalls have been turned over.
Standing on the stage, Xue Mu looked at this terrifying crowd, and really felt that it was very spectacular, with a majestic aura of autumn soldiers on the battlefield. In the past, I didn't use my brain to replenish the army of 100,000. I really didn't expect that more than 10,000 people could create such a scene. I still didn't prepare enough.
It doesn't matter, it's all experience, and I will only do better in the future.
Kuiye sat and ate Guoguo, his small face was full of excitement at seeing the lively scene, and he was grinning. On the contrary, Xue Qingqiu looked very serious, let go of his consciousness and closed his eyes to observe the world, for fear that something went wrong and affected the sect strategy.
Seeing her appearance, Xue Mu said embarrassedly: "I don't have enough experience, and I still don't think about it well. Although there is a player area, I actually forgot to divide the player channel. It's really..."
Xue Qingqiu opened his eyes and said softly: "You have done well enough... Xue Mu, before I met you, I never thought that Xingyue Sect could become the organizer of such a grand event, and smiled proudly. Up, not the one who coldly gnashes his teeth and wants to destroy it hiding in the shadows."
Xue Mu smiled and said, "Why do the family want to say this to make the Xingyue Sect stronger? This is what I want, and I don't think it is enough."
He said that, but Xue Qingqiu looked at him more apologetically. Everyone thought that Xue Mu was incomparable among thousands of flowers, but she knew very well that since Menglan went, she was the only woman beside Xue Mu. She also knew that Xue Mu was not very productive, and that others pursued power and power for profit, but Xue Mu actually wanted to be romantic and happy. On the surface, the Xingyue Sect looked like a good sect tailored for Xue Mu. Actually, it couldn't satisfy Xue Mu at all. On the contrary, he needed his self-control, so as not to drag the Xingyue Sect into the smoky double cultivation state of the early years.
Compared to his dedication and contribution, Xingyue Sect gave him too little.
But she didn’t know how to give more to Xue Mu. She gave what she could. As for letting him choose the concubine in the sect at will, it obviously violated the healthy development direction of the sect. See you. What else can it give him?
Going south... Yue Xiaochan's smiling face appeared in Xue Qingqiu's heart.
Xue Mu always wanted this... She sighed softly. She had always cared about this matter very much. This time she clearly saw that Xue Mu was going south, but she never knew whether to remind him not to mess with Xiaochan.
You don’t need to be reminded, Xue Mu has always been weighing in, right? Xue Qingqiu told himself this to himself, but he didn't even believe it. There are other things like scales, and the temptation of hue can be self-controlled, but Xiaochan seems to be the one who moved Xue Mu's true feelings... Xue Mu intends to go south, but I don't know how it was because Xiaochan was there. Who can maintain absolute sobriety in the word "love"?
What's more terrible is that Xue Mu is also Xiaochan's first love...Both have affection, this is a big trouble.
With distractions, Xue Qingqiu didn't notice the chaos on the sidelines, and Xue Mu greeted her in surprise, only to wake her up. Turning around, Xue Qingqiu was also a little surprised.
Lingzhou County guard Zhang Bailing, under the of several personal guards, got into the backstage of their chairman all the way, and was led by Xue Mu on stage.
No matter how much you look down on the court officials in your mind, you can't afford to give this nominal Lingzhou supreme official a little bit of face under the eyes of everyone. Xue Qingqiu also put aside his happy mixed thoughts, got up and said lightly: "It's really unexpected for Zhang Junshou to come here."
Zhang Bailing could not see the secretly competing stances on both sides, and smiled like a spring breeze: "Lingzhou's discussion of martial arts is the number one event in this county in recent years. City Lord Xue has done a good job. As the county guard, if you don't participate together The grand event is too dereliction of duty."
Xue Mu also smiled, but his tone was a little cool: "I have invited the county guard to sit down, the weather is hot, the county guard will drink some herbal tea to relieve the heat."
Xue Qingqiu heard the precaution in Xue Mu's tone and understood what Xue Mu was guarding against. This old man, don't just want to show up to pick peaches, make people think this is a grand event organized by his county guard, right? Too beautiful.
This is a martial arts event. It is managed by six doors and has nothing to do with your administrative officer. If you are your own person, then you can report to you on this matter, and make you a political achievement. Hello, me, everyone. But you are clearly the enemy, so stay cool. If you have a shy old face to make an opening speech or something, don't blame our magic door demon for making you some sudden heatstroke and stroke.
But she saw Zhang Bailing stroked his beard and smiled: "City Lord Xue is busy, but the official is just curious about what this event is like, just take a look."
The meaning of these words was quite clear, so he came to have a look, and never mixed up. Xue Mu was a little puzzled. If you are just participating, are you really afraid to pass it to the emperor when you fall to Xingyue Sect?
Turning his head and looking at Xue Qingqiu, Xue Qingqiu looked indifferent, and he obviously couldn't figure out what the old man meant. When it comes to the thinking of politicians, even Xue Mu is not professional, and Xue Qingqiu is even more uncomfortable, sincerely unable to guess.
Fortunately, when the strength is not equal, it doesn't matter if you can't guess it, anyway, Xue Qingqiu can't get any moths when staring at him. Xue Mu was too lazy to think, leaving Zhang Bailing to Xue Qingqiu to deal with, and ran to throw himself into the arrangement of the venue.
This competition that should have started early in the morning, because all the organizers had insufficient experience, it was slightly confused for a while. Fortunately, there were no major problems, and after the orderly reorganization, people looked at the scene of the conference and found it to be very novel.
There are walls around the venue, and the walls are divided into many blocks, each with signs of different shops, and some slogans, such as "Qingzhen Pavilion, gather goods from all directions, for the needs of thousands of families"; "Fengbo Tower, drink The best tea, listen to the latest books". It's not just that no one has seen this magical advertising model, but the slogans themselves are very interesting. It is interesting to read the past one by one, just as fun as watching a new story.
Outside the venue, small stalls and vendors lined up neatly, selling wine and tea, preserves, pastries, parasols, and so on. The vendors didn't sell them. They seemed to sit still on the Diaoyutai and like to buy or not.
Just because of this special view, many people feel that there is no such thing as a trip in vain. Many people used to go to the sidelines and even participated in the world martial arts, but the structure of countless world martial arts is not as interesting as this district of Lingzhou!
Xue Mu stood on the edge of the stage and looked down at the audience, and the sigh in his heart was even more unknown. What is nostalgia? This is nostalgia... Since the journey through, the transformation of the world that my heart desires to achieve has loomed over the tip of the iceberg.
