Chapter 18: Master and Disciple Duel! Unexpected Result.

"Huh? A duel?" Zeng Liang still stared at the dead fish eyes and looked at Basho calmly and said.

"That's right! Let this student who looks like a bird be the referee!" Basho pointed at Xiaotan and said.

"I'm Falcon..." Although he felt that it should be said or not, Xiaotan still corrected him.

"Then...it's finally time to teach this complacent disciple a lesson..." Basho ignored the two people's reactions and said to himself, and in the next second...took off his shirt.

His kimono is one piece, because there is a belt tied around his waist, so even if he unbuttons his upper body, the whole kimono will not fall off.

"The ultimate secret..." Basho was shirtless, legs slightly apart, and stood upright. Then raise your hands, palms straight and parallel to your forearms. Then... he was like a crab waving its pincers, swinging his arms up and down, and said with a constipated expression, "Let's see! Matsuo Senju Kannon!"

"Isn't this just two hands..." Xiaotan looked at this guy playing tricks and couldn't complain.

"Hahaha... I'm surprised." Basho smiled proudly and looked at Zeng Liangdao, "This move... uses the high-speed movement of both hands to create numerous afterimages and become the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara. appearance……"

"Everyone said I only have two hands..." Zeng Liang replied coldly.

"Eh? Don't you have more hands?" Basho was stunned for a moment.

"No..." Xiao Tan replied in a very affirmative tone.

Hearing this, Basho moved his hands faster and said, "What about this?"

"It's useless..." Xiao Tan gave a more thorough rejection.

"Really...that's it..." Basho thought thoughtfully, and the movements of his hands gradually slowed down, "Then...forget it..."

At this point, he put on his clothes again in the blink of an eye, and showed an expression with an idea: "Okay, let's use haiku to decide the winner!"

"The turning point is too abrupt!" Xiao Tan exclaimed, "Speaking of which...if you move your hands as fast as you do when putting on clothes, you might actually be able to create an afterimage!"

"Hehehe..." Basho ignored Xiaotan's words again. Putting on a gloomy look, he said in a terrifying tone, "The rule is...next, all conversations between Zeng Liangjun and I must be conducted in a five-seven-five format..."

"So you set the rules..." Xiao Tan said, "I thought it was me, the referee..."

"Okay! The game begins!" Basho interrupted loudly without letting Xiaotan finish his words.

On the other side, Zeng Liang remained calm and said quickly: "I said bananas (5), what do you like to eat (7). What is it (5)?"

"I love eating sea urchins." Basho replied almost out of the blue.

After the two spoke, silence fell...

About five seconds later, Basho became angry and yelled: "Not yet! I haven't lost yet!"

"Well... it should be up to me, the referee, to decide whether we lose or not..." Xiao Tan twitched the corners of his mouth and continued, "But to be honest... does such an obvious outcome really need a referee..."

"Now that things have happened..." Basho still ignored Xiao Tan and stubbornly rushed to Zeng Liang and said, "...the only thing left is swimming! Use swimming to decide the outcome!" He pointed to the side, "It's over there. Whoever swims to the big rock upstream first wins!"

"Okay." Zeng Liang replied calmly.

"Eh?" Xiaotan was not worried about the young and strong Zeng Liang, but...Bajiao was really unreliable. "It's too forced! Basho-san!" He also looked at the river. "The current in the river is very fast!"

"Don't be wordy!" Basho held Xiao Tan's wings and ran straight to the river, "I just want to compete!"

…………

Two minutes later...

Wang sighed, Matsuo Basho. The three of them, Kawai Zengliang... came to the river.

Although it is in a town, this kind of small river still exists because it is connected to the sewage pipes in the city. Therefore, the river water is not clean, and the current is quite fast.

"Stop talking, let me call you to get ready!" As soon as the three of them stood by the river, Basho couldn't wait to walk to the front, "Everyone is on your place..."

Before the word "bit" came out of his mouth, one of his feet had already stepped into the water. In less than half a second... he slid down completely and shouted inexplicably: "Go out and take a shot!"

"Go out?" Xiaotan repeated in surprise, and watched Basho... being washed away by the water.

"Ah! The water is so fast!" Basho, who was carried more than ten meters away by the current, finally showed a look of panic, "Wait a minute...what the hell is this? I can't swim! I won't play anymore! Hee...hee …”

Seeing this situation, Zeng Liang, who was standing on the shore, still said to Xiao Tan in a tepid tone: "Did you see it? (5) Matsuo Basho was in the river (7) and was washed away by the water. Let’s go (5).”

"Why are you relaxing there! Your master was washed away by the water!" Xiao Tan shouted, "And...why are you still talking in the five-seven-five sentence pattern!"

…………

Fifteen minutes later...

Two kilometers downstream.

"I've walked so far and still haven't seen a trace. Where did I rush to..." Xiaotan muttered as he walked beside Zeng Liang.

"The riverbed downstream has become shallower, and it will probably stop somewhere." Compared with Xiao Tan, Zeng Liang's attitude seemed even colder, as if the person washed away by the water was just a stranger... no, it should be said... a guy who was not even as good as a stranger.

Before the two finished speaking, a light green figure appeared in Xiao Tan's sight.

His falcon vision is very powerful now, and he can see things very far away, so he can see at a glance... that is the lower body of Bajiao stuck in the riverbed.

To make a long story short, with the collaborative efforts of Xiao Tan and Zeng Liang, Bajiao quickly came out of the river.

"Bajiao-san... are you okay?" Xiao Tan asked, looking at the embarrassed Bajiao.

After getting ashore, Basho was lying on the ground, soaked in water, looking exhausted: "Thanks to you, I was saved anyway..." He paused and explained, "My head was caught by the rocks on the riverbed, so I was floating with my feet upside down like just now."

"I say... Basho-san." Xiao Tan said, "You yourself proposed a swimming duel, and in the end you were washed away by the water... It's embarrassing enough, so don't expose those details that are not glorious at all..."

"Nonsense!" Basho got excited again after catching his breath, "I, the haiku saint Matsuo Basho... jumped into the river to protect the villages downstream, and used my proud muscles to withstand the rapids..."

"This is obviously nonsense, and it is also part of "The Legend of Basho"..." Xiao Tan replied with a squinting eye.

Basho's nonsense did not stop there, he continued; "However... my disciple Zeng Liangjun, who saw this scene, became jealous of the handsome Matsuo... Shuaiwei for short... so he..."

"Fuck your bear face!" Zeng Liang slapped Basho and shut him up.

"It seems that your method is still effective..." Xiao Tan said.

"Of course." Zeng Liang replied.

"Damn it..." Basho still refused to accept it, he stood up in a flash, "Listen carefully... there is still a final showdown..."

"You haven't given up yet..." Xiao Tan shook his head with his hand on his forehead.

At this moment, he just hoped to finish this side quest quickly to avoid any mental damage.

"Hehehe..." Bajiao's confidence in his smile was incredible, "That's right... In this final moment... Let's decide the winner with our handsomeness!"

He suddenly turned around and pointed at Xiaotan, "Classmate, as the referee, you can make the decision in this match!"

"Eh? Do you still remember that I'm the referee..." Xiaotan was startled, "Come to think of it... I didn't have the chance to make the decision before."

"Are you ready? Zeng Liangjun!" Bajiao took a half step back and looked at Xiaotan, "Hey~ Classmate, who is more handsome, me or Zeng Liangjun? Please tell me with your conscience!"

"Zeng Liangjun." Xiaotan's answer came so quickly.

"You..." Bajiao jumped up desperately, "What the hell!" He shouted while rushing towards Xiaotan.

"Huh? What's going on? Fighting?" This time, Xiao Tan was caught off guard. He thought that this funny script would not trigger any fighting, so he was unprepared...

But Basho grabbed Xiao Tan's collar and pushed him to the ground, then... put his other hand into his hair and began to slap the dandruff...

"Feel the wrath of the God of Haiku! Snow Dance for Nine Days!" Basho shouted the name of the move with full of energy.

At this moment... Xiao Tan was deeply shocked.

Looking at the dandruff floating on his face, he was speechless and didn't want to stand up and resist, because... he felt that it was too cruel to be serious with such a funny guy.

"Ah... forget it..." At this time, Zeng Liangjun sighed, "I lose."

"Eh?" Bajiao stopped his hand immediately after hearing this, "Really? Then I am the handsome and romantic tail?"

"Ah... yes, yes..." Zeng Liang continued weakly, "Fengliuwei."

"What~ I won~" Bajiao instantly changed to a harmless expression, stopped his "Snow Dance Nine Days", and took something out of his pocket and put it in Xiao Tan's hand, "Anyway, thank you, classmate..."

Before he finished speaking, he pulled Zeng Liang away and waved to Xiao Tan from a distance: "Bye~"

[Side quest completed]

[Special scenario bonus: Bajiao-san's Ma Fei doll]

When Xiao Tan came to his senses, the two had already walked away, and the system voice indicated... The "thing" that Bajiao stuffed into his hand before leaving was the reward for this task. (To be continued...)
