There was silence.
Jing Hengbo was dumbfounded.
The officials of the Luoyun Department all changed color.
The man who asked the question turned pale, stared at Gong Yin, subconsciously took a step back, and took another step, while the others had already hid in the shadow of the ring.
The Queen's fans in the audience had different expressions. Yi Qi's eyes widened, with an expression of surprise and admiration, Yongxue finally took a look at Gong Yin, her tense face eased slightly, Pei Shu's raised eyebrows seemed to fly out of her forehead, "Hey!" He smashed it into the palm of his hand, turned his head bitterly, Tian Qi smiled proudly, as if Gong Yin said those words to him.
Jing Hengbo stayed there for a long time, with a sullen face, and turned his head to the side, as if he had returned to normal, but his eyes were smiling, shining with two small star flowers, bright as drops in water.
"What else is there to compare?" Gong Yin didn't look at the reactions of the crowd at all. In his opinion, he should know all these things. From the beginning to the present, everything about her has been kept in his heart in every detail.
All the thoughts that are beautifully decorated with words are lost to the glitz and frivolity, and they are the most cherished when they are kept in the bottom of the heart and seen in actions.
He raised his hand, and something in the man's hand fell to the ground. It was a huge deep red tourmaline gemstone, oblong and pure in color. It shone brightly under the sunlight, making the area under the man's feet a brilliant neon. color.
A gemstone of exceptional quality, priceless.
When the man saw the gemstone, his mood calmed down a little, and he took a breath and said, "Avoid the important and ignore it, specious, and even beat it up! You are not answering a question, you are clearly sowing discord!" After speaking, he bowed to Jing Hengbo, "Your Majesty, such a Answer, judging right and wrong is unfair, please allow me to wait and challenge him again!"
"Aren't you ready to do it again?" Jing Hengbo said with a smile, "Keep playing."
She is in a good mood now, because she heard his first long speech, because she finally knows at this moment that he has always put her in his heart.
She believed that other people would not know those things, but now, he has memorized them fluently, and even touched the deepest part of her heart, those thoughts that she had never said to Zirui.
That seemingly indifferent person, his world, has actually been overlapping her world, never leaving her.
"It's hard for people in the world to stop others from slandering," the man regained his composure, "but the true heart can be expressed."
He spread his palms flat, and the gems in his palms were shining brightly.
"Can you carve? No, you might as well admit defeat immediately."
Gong Yin didn't look at him, "Just do what you want." After a pause, he continued, "You all have to get out."
"It's a big bragging. Let's not talk about anything else. You said that what the Queen needs is to keep male guests, but I think she needs the best engraver and the most amazing engraving skills." The man said mockingly, "I, Mrs. The family’s secret and exclusive carving art, three-sided gem relief, is willing to show it to the Queen for free.”
There was an uproar in the audience, and people kept saying "three-faced gemstone carving!" "Light and shadow!"
Jing Hengbo also became interested. Gemstones are not like jade, they are hard and difficult to carve. Emeralds and tourmalines, as single-crystal gems, may be carved, but there are very few that can be carved, because as long as there are a few flaws and cracks, they will be broken during the carving process, and the whole gemstone will be destroyed. Few dared to carve gemstones. What's more, in this era, the technology of gem faceting has not yet developed, and gem carving is even more magical. Just what tools are used to carve gems made her extremely curious.
The official of the Luoyun Rites hurried up and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty. The Jiang family in Zhanzhou is a family of craftsmen that is well-known in our department and even in the whole wilderness. It is best at identifying and carving jade and gemstones. The gemstones sold by his family have always been nobles. Especially the famous three-faced carving, a gem can be carved on three sides, but the image is displayed on the shiny side, which is very magical. You must not miss it.”
Jing Hengbo held his chin, thinking that this skill cannot be missed, if Gong Yin wins again, she will not be able to get this skill. Although she has never seen Gong Yin move a carving knife, but he is wise! If you're not sure, just use some cheating method to win, and then she won't be able to fight for nothing?
"Well," she said with a smile, "you compare sculptures, right? It's just that this kind of judgment is too subjective. Everyone has different visions and different preferences. The results like this are hard to convince the public."
"My family's skill is naturally the best in the world," Mr. Jiang said proudly, "If the queen is not at ease, you can add other conditions. Although I am not talented, I can always convince everyone with a sculpture." oral."
Before Jing Hengbo could think about it, Gong Yin glanced at her, and suddenly said: "That's more accurate, the accuracy of the carved object."
"Yes." Young Master Jiang readily agreed.
Jing Hengbo immediately said: "It's interesting to add some prizes to the competition..."
Mr. Jiang really said immediately: "If I lose, I will wait for the four to withdraw immediately, and donate the three embossed gems to His Majesty for free; Just don't appear in Luoyun."
Jing Hengbo looked at Gong Yin, Gong Yin still didn't care, "Yes."
Mr. Jiang glanced at him, still worried, and added, "I don't ask for anything else, I just ask His Majesty to judge fairly."
This remark was a bit rude, and it showed that he was worried about Jing Hengbo, and he was worried that she would be fascinated by her beauty. Jing Hengbo was not angry, but smiled and ate snacks, and said, "Don't worry, I like to watch people kowtow."
In the past, she might really have put water on her beauty, but now, she's eaten up and wiped out, and her value has long been depreciated.
Gong Yin glanced at her, thinking that if he really wanted to kowtow, it would mean that she would worship him first, and then he would worship her. It was she who kowtowed first, he liked to watch it too.
Is there really such a day...
Feeling pain in his heart, he turned his head slightly.
The true qi in his body has been fully recovered, and the needle that hurt his heart and lungs is broken. He looks better than before, and he is no longer unable to be emotional, nor is he coughing up blood at every turn. But no one will know that the meridian is blocked by the broken needle for a long time, and the blocked meridian will cause the stagnant residual poison in the body to be unable to refine and form new lesions. I'm afraid it's too late.
The most important thing is that he can't predict what kind of change it will be. He may be cured, more likely to be disabled or die suddenly, and it will happen in an instant. For him, he would rather live a wonderful life before dying happily; but for her , that is many times worse than dying in a lingering sick bed, because there is no psychological preparation, because you will think you see hope.
He should stay away from her, but he couldn't.
Especially when he knew that she gave him the heart of the moon, he couldn't completely abandon her, lost the real power to protect her, and when he was really in danger, that little bit of teleportation and object control couldn't save her.
Mingyue Xin was in his body, slowly washing away the accumulated poison, but the speed of refining was not as fast as the speed at which the poison penetrated into the meridians and flesh over the years. Jing Hengbo's martial arts training was too late and too short, and his true energy was not strong enough. He needed more important stuff.
She was smiling like a flower beside her, and he only hoped that when he stayed by her side, he would be the most complete and strongest.
I only hope that this flowery smile will bloom in the eternal night.
Mr. Jiang retreated behind the curtain, his exclusive skills, of course, cannot be seen by anyone.
He didn't say what he wanted to carve, and Gong Yin didn't ask, as if he was very sure.
Jing Hengbo also didn't see him take out things to prepare, Gong Yin never liked to wear accessories, the only accessories she had seen him was the pearls that tied his neckline, and now he didn't even wear pearls.
Sculpture is a job that takes time. Jing Hengbo thought it was boring, so he simply suggested that Gong Yin get rid of the four people from the rivers and lakes.
People from the rivers and lakes rely on martial arts, so their proposal is to compete in martial arts. Each challenge Gong Yin with their unique skills.
The challenge sounds good, but it is actually a wheel battle, but Jing Hengbo is too lazy to complain about Gong Yin, she just wants to see how Gong Yin is now.
The first one to go on stage was the master with natural supernatural power. He looked very ordinary, even a little yellow and thin. He came to the stage lightly and skillfully, and he didn't declare himself. Jing Hengbo guessed that he was the master of light kung fu known as "Luoyun" , I saw that guy suddenly walk to the side stage where Jing Hengbo was, and glanced at the stage, "Hey!" With a loud shout, he slapped the stage violently!
There was a loud bang, the table made of thick planks shook violently, and the nails jumped around. Jing Hengbo was startled, a mouthful of tuckahoe cake choked in her throat, unable to get up or down, she coughed loudly, her face covered It's flushed red.
At this time, nails were flying around, smoke and dust filled the air, and everyone was still watching the amazing Hercules, but no one noticed that the Queen was about to choke to death on a piece of pancake.
Fortunately, there was Gong Yin by her side, always focused on her, stretched out one hand, and just patted it lightly, saving her from the disgraceful end of choking to death on snacks, and took out a snow-white cloth towel and covered it on those treats so they don't get dirty with dust.
Jing Hengbo didn't have time to express his thanks to him, so he turned his head and stared and scolded: "Yaoshou..." Suddenly he heard the guy exhale and yelled "Hey!" The people cried out in surprise, she looked down, and at some point, she, together with the Eight Immortals table, chair, and a half-foot-square plank under her feet, were lifted up by the strongman.
The arena was made of thick paulownia wood, and the nails nailed were all giant nails. The guy shot them all, not to mention the weight of the half-foot-square board itself, her weight, the table, and the need to lift it up. The combined strength is almost an astronomical figure. When Jing Hengbo turned his head, he saw that the muscles on the not-so-strong arm of the wrestler were trembling, and he forcibly lifted the big queen over his chest, abdomen, and shoulders...
"Hey!"
The wrestler yelled again, and he swung upwards like a weightlifter, lifting the Queen, her table, chairs and the ring board under her feet above her head!
"good!"
The cheers of the crowd almost shook the street.
Gong Yin had been watching indifferently, and suddenly said: "This strong man, can he go on stage?"
The man glared at him, weightlifters should not make a sound, as it would be discouraged, he just walked up the stairs step by step, his steps were extremely steady, Jing Hengbo hanging high in the air, and the tea on the table beside him never spilled. The crowd cheered again.
"Okay... huh?"
The applause came to an abrupt end in the middle.
Gong Yin suddenly disappeared.
In another moment, he appeared beside the ring.
The movement was exactly the same as that of the man just now. He pressed his hand on the edge of the ring, but he didn't shout or take a picture. With just such a light push, there was a crackling sound on the ring, and the gap between the table and the wooden boards was suddenly covered with a thin layer. Bing, the wrestler slipped and nearly fell down. Fortunately, he was reminded by his companion, and his feet stepped down suddenly, breaking the plank of the ring, and stuck himself tightly.
Gong Yin didn't want him to just slip and fall, but once he pressed his hand, the thin ice was immediately melted by the scorching sun, and when he pressed his hand again, the ice layer rose again, and there was another crackling sound, like this two or three times.
Then he tapped lightly.
The nails of the entire arena flew in all directions, criss-crossing in the air, and there was a burst of nail rain.
Before everyone had time to marvel, Gong Yin raised his hand, and the entire arena was frozen into a piece of ice, and raised his hand again, and the entire arena rose up in response.
"ah…"
The exclamation of the crowd, with a dazzling intoxication, was different from the wrestler just lifting a piece of wood on the ring, this time Gong Yin lifted the whole ring lightly and delicately with one hand! What's even better is that the arena was originally bound by wooden boards, and no one could lift it one by one, but he used ice to crack the cracks, first lifted out the nails, and then used ice to solidify the entire arena board, and lifted it up in one fell swoop.
At this moment, the wrestler is holding the queen, and he is holding the wrestler and the queen.
There is no need to compare, and the judgment is judged.
The queen smiled and ate melon seeds in the hands of the wrestler, and the wrestler was livid in the hands of Gong Yin, looking at the slowly rising ring below, wondering whether to throw the queen and admit defeat, or just continue to persevere.
But he soon had nothing to worry about.
Noble God would not personally hold a cat or a dog.
With a swipe of Gong Yin's finger, the ring board was split into two halves, which just split under the wrestler's feet. The guy couldn't stand upright and fell down. Naturally, he couldn't support his hands anymore. Jing Hengbo fell down with the chair, and the wrestler fell down. On one side, amidst the exclamation of the crowd, a white shadow flashed, and Her Majesty the Queen fell into Kailuo's arms.
Her Majesty's smile was like a flower, and she pinched Gong Yin's waist hard with her hands, turned around, and then jumped down contentedly, and waved to the audience with a happy face, "How is it?"
"High!" shouted underneath.
Amidst the cries, Lishi got up in shame, and walked away from the damaged ring without saying a word.
Gong Yin put down the ring board, and it was still a complete piece, even the piece pried up by the wrestler was completely embedded in it.
Amid the applause of all the people, a person walked up cautiously, as if he was afraid of being slipped by the residual ice, he took two steps and put a piece of dirt on it.
The crowd burst out laughing, Jing Hengbo also laughed, and then felt something was wrong.
The foreground suddenly changed.
It is no longer a ring, and there are no officials of the people. In front of him is a cliff, with ice and snow hanging over it, as high as a thousand feet.
And she was standing on the edge of the cliff. In front of her was a thick layer of ice that was sliding down. If she made a slight movement, she might slide down the cliff.
She knew in her heart that this was an illusion, and this person was the one who was good at formations. Unexpectedly, she really had a hand, and the formation was completed without making a fuss, and at this moment, the cliff, the icy wind was howling, the cold air was piercing, and even mimicked it. reality.
Because it was too realistic, she knew it was an illusion, but she didn't dare to move, the danger was close at hand, and her heart trembled. She was afraid that if she moved, she might fall off the stage immediately, and her skirt would be gone.
Suddenly a gust of wind passed by, making the mountains dance, she was startled, and then understood that the person who set up the formation took advantage of this moment to attack Gong Yin!
"Bang." With a sound, there was a violent turmoil in the foreground, and the clear sea of clouds split apart, revealing the khaki boards of the arena.
Gong Yin was still standing there, opposite him, the person who came up to set up the battle just now was also there, but he was huddled in a corner of the ring, sweating profusely, punching and kicking.
Jing Hengbo took a look, and saw that the few pieces of dirt had changed places at some point, and were now scattered around the man.
Those who trap people will always be trapped.
The people below couldn't understand it at first, they only saw a few pieces of dirt surrounding Gong Yin first, and then somehow the dirt changed direction, and now the two people on the stage were standing bored.
The common people were puzzled, and suddenly laughed loudly, pointing at the stage—the formation master surrounded by the earth, didn't know what he saw, was sweating profusely, his face was flushed, and he started to take off his clothes, Take off your coat, take off your pants, take off your coat, take off your underwear...
If Jing Hengbo hadn't seen that the situation was not good, and thought that this guy was not good-looking when he took off his figure, and ordered Tianqi to go up and break the formation to pull him away, this guy would probably run naked in front of the whole city today.
Tianqi held his blushing face and scolded, "Death, how can I ask someone to do this..." ran off the stage, and the guy who was pulled out of the formation stood still holding a pile of clothes, for a long time "ah !" With a loud cry, he covered his head with his clothes and ran away.
Losing two in a row, both of them were defeated by their own good skills, the defeat was extremely embarrassing, the other two looked at each other, one of them cupped his hands, turned and left without saying a word, his figure was really like a gust of wind, and he was blown away in a blink of an eye. After getting out of the crowd, Jing Hengbo didn't see his face clearly.
It must be the master of lightness kung fu, who is very knowledgeable about current affairs, Jing Hengbo winked at Pei Shu, Pei Shu secretly ordered his subordinates to follow that person, and he should try to recruit him if he has the opportunity.
In the end, there was only the master of horizontal training left. This one stayed on the stage because he felt that although Gong Yin's martial arts wisdom is excellent, but the horizontal training of outsiders is different. This is a stupid kung fu that requires perseverance. It is really smart Some people don't practice, and they also need to be talented, so he doesn't believe that Gong Yin has even practiced horizontally.
Jing Hengbo knew that Gong Yin did not practice kung fu without a foreigner, let alone invulnerability, she remembered that he could not be injured at all.
However, since Gong Yin said that he wanted cats and dogs to get off the stage, he would definitely not go down, she believed in this.
The method for masters of horizontal training to show their specialties is simple and rude-take a knife to test it, invite someone to come on stage, just like the interactive activities of modern variety shows, let people slash hard and slash hard.
The person who chopped up raised his arms, his veins were exposed, the person who was cut off was smiling, and his muscles were half naked. The person who saw the chopping had bright eyes and muttered to himself, "Mermaid line...eight pack abs...little fresh meat..."
The sound of several knives and slashes was loud, as if cutting on metal, and the eight-pack abs were intact. The queen applauded vigorously, "Good! Good horizontal training, good figure! Good muscles..."
Gong Yin was silent, looked down at herself, and suddenly thought that the previous two times were all in ignorance, so that this woman, facing that third-rate figure, also had a face full of saliva, and she was really the one who lost him.
He was in a bad mood, so he casually threw a knife over and motioned to the horizontal practitioner, "Come here and chop yourself." After speaking, he stretched out his left leg.
Looking at his figure, Jing Hengbo knew that one of his legs could move, so he didn't need a crutch recently, but that moving leg seemed to be his right leg?
The master of cross-training came over with a sneer, the knife light slashed straight down, accurate, sharp, and the sound of the wind was harsh, and he was obviously also a master of internal skills.
"Keng." There was a sound.
A ray of snow flew up, whirled in the air, and brushed against the face of the master horizontal practitioner. The guy was shocked, and subconsciously made an iron bridge, and the knife almost brushed past his nose. He just breathed a sigh of relief , the knife suddenly shattered into three sections above his face, one section hit his face, causing his nose to bleed profusely, and two sections fell to the ground. The knife was broken, the sole of his foot slipped, and he hurriedly pushed back with the other foot, who knew that by coincidence, there was the second blade, this foot hit it again, and the horizontal practitioner could no longer support his body this time , fell to the ground with a thud, slid all the way out, and made a few bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang on the steps of the ring, falling into the dust.
This time, everyone forgot to even applaud. They looked at the horizontal training masters and the stage, but they didn't understand. Why did they roll down again in the blink of an eye?
Jing Hengbo stared at Gong Yin's robe. He was slowly retracting his left leg, but quickly covered the robe. Jing Hengbo noticed with sharp eyes that the place where he protruded was the ankle joint of his left leg, where the trousers and boots All had been hacked, but there was really no wound or blood. In a glimpse, only the extremely pale and bloodless skin was seen.
Jing Hengbo frowned—his leg, which was still immobile, was obviously different from the other hands and feet, and that difference was the reason why he couldn't move?
What is it? It must be hard, and the muscles and bones are frozen, so that it has the effect of horizontal training.
She took a deep breath—how many flaws in him that she couldn't detect clearly?
Suddenly the curtain was lifted, interrupting her thinking. Mr. Jiang, who had gone in to carve earlier, ran out excitedly, raised his hand high, and said loudly: "It's done! Your Majesty and everyone, please take a look!"
Jing Hengbo turned his eyes subconsciously, and then narrowed his eyes.
The people below also let out a gasp-like exclamation.
"Queen Statue!"
The curtain used to cover the back of the arena was snow white at the request of Mr. Jiang. At this moment, Mr. Jiang stood in front of the snow-white curtain, holding up the gemstone. The gemstone was small, so the carvings were naturally invisible. What everyone was looking at was not the gemstone, but a hazy portrait suddenly reflected on the curtain.
Light red, slender and exquisite, with sharp curves, looking at the figure in the clothes, she is clearly the queen.
At this time, under the sunlight, the red tourmaline was shining with light and pastels. Mr. Jiang turned the gemstone, and the projection carved on the gemstone slowly changed on the curtain. The standing queen, the reclining queen, and the dancing queen.
Although the projection is slightly blurred, the carvings on the gemstones can still be so realistic after projection, which shows that the carvings are amazing.
"Three-sided relief!" Everyone exclaimed.
When Jing Hengbo approached, everyone was even more amazed—the portrait of the queen on the curtain was almost the same shape as the queen herself. From a distance, it looked like the queen's figure was projected on the curtain.
Mr. Jiang proudly handed over the gemstone. Jing Hengbo inspected it carefully, and saw that the gemstone was carved on three sides, and she was engraved on three sides. The potted flowers in the back background are divided into three positions: upper, middle and lower, and finally they are projected on the smooth surface of the front to form a complete relief of floating clouds, green trees and flowers.
Among the bright red like rays of sunshine, no matter which side this gem is turned to, it is the most exquisite painting.
This is the most exquisite and incomparable part of this kind of carving. Even Jing Hengbo has only seen it in her life. For a while, she actually hoped that Gong Yin would lose, so that this Mr. Jiang, together with his unique skills, could be included in her harem. The jewelry business has since added high-end brands.
As for Gong Yinying... She really doesn't think there is any carving skill, more beautiful and amazing than this.
She turned to look at Gong Yin, Gong Yin was still calm and calm, he only glanced at the gem, and then said: "Wait a moment." Then he also entered the curtain.
Jing Hengbo raised his eyebrows - no way? Is he really going to come to carve again? What kind of skill can surpass this carving method? Could it be that he has hidden some special skills that she doesn't know about?
No, not possible. She can be sure that such a carving technique is absolutely unsurpassed.
Just as she was curious, suddenly there was a commotion underneath, as if someone was coming, Luoyun official stepped down from the stage to ask, and after a while, he came up with a happy face and whispered in her ear: "The last two candidates have finally arrived."
Jing Hengbo followed his instructions to look down the stage, and suddenly his eyes froze.
