"You will meet in the United States first, and the meeting process in the first few days is nothing more than an exchange of information from various countries over the past two years. We didn't understand when we first participated, and we asked a deputy director to lead the team there. Later, we found that it was actually It's just regular communication. But the competitive part does need to be taken seriously. It not only means honor, but also an occasion for you to exercise and communicate. The world is not closed. In recent years, the number of foreign practitioners has increased, and many emergencies have been caught off guard. You are all members of the Special Administration Bureau. Future pillars, I hope you can make good use of this opportunity.”

Deputy Director Song was originally like an old hen, and everyone was a little drowsy after listening to him ramble about a lot. When they heard him say that they could ask questions freely, Li Haner raised his hand.

"Song Bureau, is there any gossip about this year's competition?"

Song Zhicun said: "No, this year is hosted by the United States. You know, Yankees like all high-tech stuff the most. Now they only know that the competition venue is on an uninhabited archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean. Even if they move the zombie simulation system there, I wouldn't be too surprised. Oh, by the way, neither Shouyi nor Han'er have experienced that system, right? I can let you guys experience it individually."

Seeing Li Haner turn his eyes to the Winter Solstice, Song Zhicun smiled knowingly: "They have already experienced the Winter Solstice last time, and they passed the day smoothly and passed the exam. I believe you are not inferior."

That exam was Liu Qingbo's dark history, he didn't even want to mention it, he looked at the floor and pretended to be deaf.

Yang Shouyi also has a problem, he looks a little troubled.

"Song Bureau, I heard that on the first day, there is still a presentation and communication. My foreign language may not be very good. Will there be simultaneous interpretation at that time?"

Song Zhicun said with a smile: "Of course, the head of the delegation and the deputy head of the delegation are responsible for the speeches at the meeting, and there may be free exchanges. After deliberation in the bureau, it was decided that the deputy head of this time would be Liu Qingbo. Liu Qingbo, Are you all right?"

Liu Qingbo raised his head expressionlessly and nodded slowly.

If the head of the regiment was Zhang Song or someone else, he would definitely not be convinced, but since it was the winter solstice now, he reluctantly accepted it. Anyway, when he was in Lucheng, he had already served as the deputy for the winter solstice, which was not ashamed.

Zhang Song didn't expect that the head of the regiment was not himself, and even the deputy head of the regiment couldn't take his turn. He pursed his lips, and in the end he didn't say anything.

In fact, Yang Shouyi has no interest in the regiment leader or deputy regiment leader. He just questioned the ability of the winter solstice before.

Li Han'er's expression was also a little subtle, but she did not object.

Only Liu Si was the calmest and had no opinion.

Song Zhicun's eyes swept across the faces of these young people, his heart was amused, but he said: "Speaking of free communication, I have to remind you one thing, the exchange conference is for practitioners from all over the world, and most of them are friendly. Yes, but it does not rule out that some people are hostile, and some people will make more exaggerated jokes, and sometimes unpleasantness is prone to occur. I hope everyone can maintain their dignity without destroying friendship."

This sentence was so profound that everyone's mouth twitched when they heard it.

Dongzhi and Liu Qingbo even thought to themselves, they couldn't see that Song Ju's face was honest and honest, and he would actually play an official tongue like Wu Ju, didn't they just want them to "try not to do anything if you can move your mouth, and even if you do, remember to put a sack first"? Why do you have to say it so vaguely?

"Including the competition session, the exchange conferences over the years have lasted about 20 days. During these 20 days, if you want to advance and retreat together, you must have enough tacit understanding and team spirit. I don't care what you thought about each other before. From the moment, it is best to let go of prejudice and look at each companion objectively."

After Song Zhicun finished explaining the words, he left room for them to communicate and left first.

Winter Solstice took the initiative to get up and walk in front of the crowd.

"Since I'm fortunate to be the head of the group this time, I'll have the cheek to say a few words. I'm sure everyone here is familiar with me, but let me introduce myself. My name is Winter Solstice. It turns out that I'm an ordinary person who paints. By coincidence, he entered the world of practice."

His grinning appearance was not deterrent, Liu Qingbo pouted, thinking that he was stupid. If I were Yang Shouyi and the others, it would be strange that I would obey you. It took you so long to follow Long Ju, even when he spoke with a cold face. Can't you learn!

The winter solstice naturally couldn't hear Liu Qingbo's complaints, but he changed his words: "To you, I am a junior, and I am not qualified to lead you. If you have any objections, you are welcome to go to the leaders and ask for a replacement. If you don't make comments, I will acquiesce that you all obey the order. I will try my best to be responsible for everyone, and I hope you can cooperate. This time, the leader has only one team, and I don't think anyone will go to the second place. ?"

The soft and hard tone made everyone feel uncomfortable for a while, Yang Shou said: "I have no other requirements, I just hope to learn from you, if you can win, I am convinced, you say east, I will never go west, If not, I have a hard time believing that you can lead us to a championship, it would be better if I quit early."

The winter solstice said: "Okay, wait for the rooftop?"

Yang Shou was a little surprised by his happiness this time, and nodded.

Winter Solstice looked at the others again: "Besides him, who else wants to learn from each other?"

Zhang Song said: "You have injured an arm now, and you are still discussing everything with Yang Shou. If I fight with you again, it seems that you will not be able to win."

The implication is that he also wants to fight the winter solstice.

Winter Solstice shrugged: "That can continue tomorrow."

Liu Qingbo said to Zhang Song, "I will fight you on his behalf."

Zhang Song: "You?"

Liu Qingbo: "What? I'm the deputy head of the regiment, don't I have the qualifications?"

He looked at Yang Shouyi again: "His arm is injured, what can he do now? I'll do it today. If I win against you, it means that the Winter Solstice will also win against you."

The Winter Solstice knew that Liu Qingbo was afraid that his injury would not be healed and would have sequelae, so he took the initiative to come forward. He smiled and said, "Old Liu, no, I can."

Liu Qingbo rolled his eyes: "You can do anything! You don't even have a sword with you!"

Winter Solstice said: "The sword is in the dormitory. I can take it now. As for the arm, it's fine. I can fight with one hand. There are many emergencies in the real combat environment, and it's not like we haven't encountered them before."

Coincidentally, this time, the six of them all used swords. Even Li Haner carried a long sword with him. The golden spikes of the sword flickered with her steps. She was graceful and graceful, but she did not look like Zhang Song or Yang. Take the initiative to fight like Shouyi.

On the winter solstice, he first went back to the dormitory to get the Qing master sword, and Liu Qingbo came after him.

"If you're not sure, don't try to act, let me help you." This guy is still repeating what he said just now.

Winter Solstice said strangely: "I didn't say I wasn't sure. Actually, you wanted to fight Yang Shou, right?"

Liu Qingbo was said to be the central thing, so he stopped talking. He was really itchy.

Winter Solstice: "That's it, Zhang Song will give it to you tomorrow. Today, Yang Shouyi is still me. The new official takes office with three fires. If you don't stand up, I'm afraid the team will disperse before they set off."

Liu Qingbo questioned: "Can you fight with one arm?"

The winter solstice shrugged: "Actually, I didn't get any injuries at all, but if my arm is broken, I need to support it for a few more days. It's fine to play with one hand."

Liu Qingbo squinted his eyes: "But I heard that you have encountered the phantom clone of the demon this time, and there are some very powerful descendants. They are so easy to fight, like weak chickens?"

Winter Solstice shrugged: "You forgot that my master is still here? It's not really easy to fight."

He pulled down the collar of the sweater to show Liu Qingbo his neck. Liu Qingbo saw that there were still clear scratches on it, which had gradually faded, but he could still imagine the line of life and death that day.

"Who told you not to call me, if I am here, I promise you don't have to suffer too much!" Liu Qingbo didn't forget to show his status, "It's okay, you don't want to come up later, this is Let me both of you!"

Dongzhi said easily: "Actually, it doesn't matter if I lose, anyway, it is impossible for me to be kicked out of the exchange group because I lost to Yang Shouyi. I'm your deputy, they can't avoid me no matter what, wouldn't that make me even more angry?"

Liu Qingbo: ...So it turns out that you are playing with this idea.

But thinking about it carefully, this is really like what the winter solstice will do. If you don't change and respond to changes, everyone else is so angry that he still doesn't move.

Liu Qingbo couldn't help but wonder: "Dragon Bureau is such a serious person, didn't he feel that the goods were not right after accepting the apprentice?"

Winter Solstice: "How is that possible? I can't find such an obedient and motivated apprentice with a lantern."

Liu Qingbo vomited.

The two came back one after the other. Zhang Song and the others had already been impatient. The Winter Solstice took everyone to the rooftop of the Special Administration Bureau. Yang Shouyi was arrogant. In order to show fairness, he tied his left arm too. Holding a sword flower in his hand, he said to the Winter Solstice, "It's fair now."

He was so serious, the winter solstice was not good for smiling, both sides stood with swords, standing beside the stream.

The two are more like a test of patience. Yang Shou does not move, but the winter solstice does not move. At first glance, the two are similar, but if you look closely, you can tell them apart.

Yang Shouyi was serious, his eyes were like eagles, looking for the slightest flaw in his opponent.

While the winter solstice is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, he is all over his body, only the hand holding the sword is tight.

The waterfall flew down from the top of the mountain, and some water droplets fell on the heads of the two people from time to time, gradually condensing and sliding down, but no one wiped them away. A trembling drop of water stopped on the eyelashes of the winter solstice, which was about to fall but did not fall.

The eyelashes seemed overwhelmed and blinked slightly.

At this moment, Yang Shouyi suddenly moved!

His sword was longer and wider than the Changshou sword, but at the moment when his wrist moved, a dazzling sword light immediately spread out, as if the sword was an insignificant gadget in his hand.

He used this little gadget to seal all the escape routes around the winter solstice. No matter which way the winter solstice wanted to dodge, he felt that the sword light was rushing straight towards him, and he could slash down.

Liu Qingbo's contemptuous expression instantly subsided and became serious.

Li Han'er and Zhang Song also looked surprised.

Except for Liu Si, everyone present was skilled in swordsmanship. Even if Li Haner and Zhang Song used both talismans and swords, they had practiced Sanjiu and Sanfu since childhood. Naturally, it could be seen that Yang Shouyi's swordsmanship was very gorgeous.

Not only gorgeous, but also murderous, as fierce as ice and snow.

Although ice and snow are beautiful, if they are faster than the blade, they can kill people.

After this sword passes, how will the winter solstice deal with it?

Solstice knows its weaknesses.

After all, he didn't train since he was a child. For more than a year, no matter how talented he is, even if he is practising every day except for eating and sleeping, it is impossible to achieve the proficiency with Yang Shouyi and the others. Long Shen also understands this very well. One point, so the training plan he made for the Winter Solstice was to make full use of the advantages of the Winter Solstice and avoid weaknesses.

For example, when practicing swordsmanship, Long Shen will not let the tedious and gorgeous swordsmanship of the Winter Solstice even confuse the enemy, but if the fire is not enough, it is easy to become a cocoon. Turn the thorns, in order to be practical, there is no fancy superfluous action.

Long Shen even let Dongzhi stand still, not allowed to fight back, to meet his countless attacks, and then let Dongzhi tell the escape route and counterattack route. Dongzhi was scared and bloodless from the beginning, and then gradually calmed down and did not blink his eyes. , It can be said that it is all the experience accumulated by blood and tears.

Long Shen came from thousands of years of blood and blood, not to mention that he was originally an artifact, and his swordsmanship, even Zongling Che Bai's level boss, may not find a weakness, let alone the rookie Winter Solstice. The Winter Solstice can only try to escape and fight back from repeated attacks, and finally can barely escape. Long Shen will also explain to him the various points of active attack and passive counterattack during fights. It can be said that he has carefully taught his own experience. Under the conditions of study, with good talent and willingness to work hard at the winter solstice, if you can't hand in a basically satisfactory report card, it is too unreasonable.

So when Yang Shouyi slashed with this sword, the body reaction of the winter solstice was automatically activated.

Yang Shouyi used the sword in his right hand. The most tightly guarded part of Yang Shouyi was naturally on the right side of his body, while the part of his left arm was naturally negligent. The Winter Solstice did not meet directly, but instead moved towards the opponent's left arm, and his body jumped up. Jianguang lifted and fell, and the other hand hung by the gauze around his neck pinched a talisman. He lowered his head and bit the talisman paper, accompanied by the Jianguang, and spit the talisman toward the opponent's right arm.

The talisman paper turned into a firelight and swept towards the sword wind. Yang Shouyi's sword hit the talisman fire first, and then slashed towards the shoulder of the winter solstice. However, the moment the talisman fire was hit by the sword wind, sparks splattered and flew. Scattered, some splashed towards Yang Shouyi's eyes, he had to close his eyes, and his movements naturally stagnated for a while.

But in this little time, the Green Master Sword of the Winter Solstice has reached Yang Shouyi's left shoulder!

Yang Shouyi felt a chill on his cheeks, as if there was liquid falling down, the hair rope that wrapped the bun on the top of his head loosened, his hair fell, and his face was scattered - Yang Shouyi grew up in Qingcheng Mountain, and his hairstyle is also a standard Taoist priest. Hair in a bun, on the way from Qingcheng Mountain to the General Bureau, many passers-by gave attention and salutes.

Yang Shouyi reached out and touched it, and there was blood on his fingers.

Seeing this on the Winter Solstice, he said apologetically, "I couldn't stop it just now, I'm sorry!"

Zhang Song frowned and said, "People use swords, but they also have one hand tied, so it's not fair for you to use the sword together."

Winter Solstice smiled and said, "Old Yang's sword is too fast, I really can't win without a talisman, do you want to come again?"

Yang Shouyi shook his head: "No, I didn't say that I had to use a sword. If you win, you will win. I recognize you as the head of the regiment."

Zhang Song said, "I didn't recognize it!"

Liu Qingbo clenched his fists and grinned: "Then let's not wait for tomorrow, let's play today!"

Zhang Song said: "Come here, afraid of you?"

The winter solstice said: "I'll do it, Lao Zhang, you use the talisman, I also use the talisman, we use the talisman to compare, you don't have to tie your hands, this is always fair, right?"

Zhang Song pouted and said yes, then said, "Daoyou Dong, don't see anyone, and I'm familiar with everyone. My name is Zhang Song, not Lao Zhang."

The winter solstice said: "Okay, Xiao Zhang."

Zhang Song:  …

This name is even more ugly, as if I was younger than me out of thin air, but this winter solstice is unwilling to change it, so I have to call Zhang Xiaozhang, Zhang Song's face twitches when he hears it, and he thinks that he will have to cut him to death after a while. .

The two sides stood still, each holding the talisman and reciting the tactic. Zhang Song was worthy of being a disciple of Longhu Mountain. He pointed to the sword and stood in front of his chest. He pinched the talisman with one hand to activate the four directions and five elements. When he moved away, the originally sturdy ground suddenly softened and reached its lower limit, swallowing his feet in and wrapping him tightly, as if he had fallen into a swamp, unable to extricate himself, as if he stretched out his hands, grabbed the soles of his feet and sank down. , and soon in the winter solstice, the whole part below the ankle will sink in.

Zhang Song was not idle, he took out another talisman and threw it into the air. Under his control, the talisman paper turned into sparks and flew towards the winter solstice, just like the winter solstice dealt with Yang Shouyi just now, obviously Zhang Song This is deliberately to let Winter Solstice also taste the taste of being defeated by the same move.

But at this moment, he heard a sound in the sky, from far to near, he couldn't help but look up, seeing the rolling thunderclouds suddenly covering the sun, his hands moved faster and faster, a few runes came out, and the sparks were like rockets, before the winter solstice. Before he could successfully attract the thunder, the sparks that flew away were enough to set him on fire and burn him into a fireball.

It's too late to say, it's fast, the thunder has already fallen.

It was a small sky thunder, almost no thickness of silk thread, Zhang Song couldn't help laughing, thinking what the sky thunder could do, not to mention killing me, even those talisman fires might not be able to extinguish.

While he was thinking about it, the thunder fire didn't hit him. Instead, it slammed into the pool under the waterfall. The sky thunder and the water pool collided. The water splashed into the sky, and all the creatures around ten meters were spared. Zhang Song was doused with water all over his face, and even the sparks were all doused.

Zhang Song:  …

Before he could lose his temper, another thunderstorm struck. This time, the thundercloud had been brewing for a long time, and the power of the thunderbolt was even greater, and the target was directed at Zhang Song.

Zhang Song couldn't care about the winter solstice either. He turned around and jumped onto the tree trunk next to him. Seeing that Tianlei was chasing him, he had to fly and jump to the stone next to him. On the stone that he had been on the previous second, with a loud bang, the stone exploded. Zhang Song was scratched with many small wounds on his hands and feet.

The winter solstice took this opportunity to rescue himself from the quagmire long ago. Although he also became a lost chicken, the winner can still be determined between the two lost chickens.

If it was just a fluke to win the Winter Solstice just now, but luck will not always patronize the same person one after another.

It can only be said that he is flexible and has a full advantage on the battlefield.

Naturally, Yang Shouyi did not dare to underestimate the new head of the regiment, and even Li Haner was shocked.

In any case, the fact that people can attract Tianlei in such a short period of time is also a manifestation of strength.

Li Haner had been in Maoshan since she was a child, and naturally knew that attracting thunder was not an easy task. More importantly, she knew that Long Shen would not attract thunder. The winter solstice was undoubtedly learned elsewhere. If even attracting thunder was so easy, Is it equally easy to learn other things?

Talented and flexible, is this why Long Shen treats the Winter Solstice differently?

Just as she was thinking about it, the Winter Solstice asked Zhang Song, "Are you still fighting?"

Zhang Song felt a little embarrassed to lose in front of Li Han'er, Yang Shouyi and others. He wiped the water droplets off his face and said coldly, "No need, count me as the loser."

Liu Qingbo sneered: "If you lose, you will lose. What do you mean by losing, let's play if you are not convinced?"

He was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so when Zhang Song heard the hair, he rolled up his sleeves and really got into a fight with him.

Zhang Song ignored Liu Qingbo and just looked at the Winter Solstice: "Is there anything else to say today? If not, I'll go back and change my clothes."

Winter Solstice said: "If no one fights, today is the end. But I have a word in advance. After today, starting from tomorrow, I don't want you to have any grievances and dissatisfaction."

He was covered in stubbornness and had an arm hanging on his arm, so he had no deterrent effect, but the winter solstice was expressionless, and he had just won two more games, and Zhang Song didn't even speak for a while.

If you don't speak, you are acquiescing to the words of the winter solstice.

Li Han'er said, "Head of the regiment, are we still coming for training tomorrow?"

The winter solstice's expression softened a little: "No, it's been a long time to go out this time, everyone must have a lot of things to bring, go back and prepare your luggage first, if there is any announcement from the Song Bureau, I will let you know, wait. The day before we leave, we can meet and talk again.”

He originally wanted to invite them to have a meal to get acquainted with them while everyone had just met, especially when there were two new partners, but now it seems that everyone has no intention of having a dinner together, so he might as well save some time to be gentle with Master.

After the disbandment, Zhang Song soon disappeared. Li Haner and Yang Shou would greet the Winter Solstice together before leaving. Liu Si said that he had something to do, so he would go first, and the rest Liu Qingbo was the last, pouting at the Winter Solstice.

"Do you know that this team leader is not easy to be?"

The winter solstice spreads his hands: "I'll leave it to you? Actually, I don't want to be."

Liu Qingbo respectfully thanked Bumin: "Forget it, I'm afraid I can't help but beat up the surname Zhang."

The winter solstice laughed: "You have to hold back, we have to live together for more than ten days, let's go, invite you to dinner, and wash the dust for you!"

He wondered to see if Master and Bureau Wu had finished their meeting, and he happened to call them in as well. The two of them took a look at the floor of the conference room. Long Shen just came out of it, tired and tired. Look, Wu Bingtian and Tang Jing are not here.

"Master, are you finished with the meeting?"

Long Shen nodded: "Is something wrong?"

"It's alright, I wanted to call you two to eat together, go back and rest!" Seeing him like this, the winter solstice felt a little distressed.

Long Shen snorted: "Go on your own, Tang Jing and Wu Bureau have other things too."

He is indeed quite tired. This kind of tiredness is not physical exhaustion, but mental overdraft after the meeting.

The winter solstice should be well, and he said: "Then you don't have to wait for me at night."

He has been sleeping in Longshen's dormitory for the past few days. If he needs to read materials on the night of the winter solstice, Longshen will also accompany him until he finishes reading. The living habits of the two are getting closer and better. Long Shen didn't say it, but he was slowly learning to trust and tolerate each other because he wanted to.

Facing his apprentice's thoughtfulness, he raised his hand and touched the other's face, saying, "Don't play too late," and then walked to the other side of the corridor.

As the relationship between the two changed, there were more and more intimate movements, often inadvertent, and then used to become natural. His movements were so natural that he didn't even notice anything wrong with the winter solstice. He didn't realize Liu Qingbo until he looked back. still beside.
