Chapter 147: Martial Arts (1)
October 1 of the tenth year of the Great Jin Chengping.
Although it has not snowed yet in October in the Northland, the weather is getting colder and colder, and ordinary people have begun to put on thick clothes.
Outside the city gate in the west of the city, there is a military tent that cannot be seen at a glance, and here is the test ground for martial arts, and there are thousands of warriors to participate.
In one of the large tents, there were dozens of people in three columns.
Today, Li Xian is not wearing armor, but just sitting in front of the desk in a strong suit, and there is a small iron plate on the case, with Li Xian's name engraved on the back, which is used to score when riding a horse and shooting a bow.
It's really in line with Cui Sheng's style. β
Looking at the camp tent, Li Xian thought in his heart, he originally thought that the exam would be held in the city, but he didn't expect Cui Sheng to arrange it so directly, and set up the camp tent outside the four city gates as the test ground, which was really time-saving and convenient.
After the staff is seated, the examiner will divide the test papers one by one, and there is a stick of incense on the table, and the exam will be over.
This kind of career-related exam is really a little nervous!
However, Li Xian noticed that these civil officials present were not from the Shanzi camp, and when he looked back and thought about it carefully, he found that his attention was really redundant.
Wuju has been held in Dajin for so many years, how can it be handed over to the Shanzi Battalion to deal with it alone, it must be necessary to have a complete set of mechanisms and rules.
Before, in addition to going to Yan Lao's place to relax, he didn't go out of the gate, and he hid in the house to read the military book without stepping forward, and thought that the operation of martial arts was presided over by the Shanzi Battalion. Now it seems that the position is really too low, the knowledge is too little, and what I see is what I see in front of me.
Having said that, Li Xian was still a little nervous in his heart, after all, there was really going to be some problem, and with his current level, he was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with the past.
With a nervous and apprehensive mentality, Li Xian looked at the dense text on the test paper.
"Whew-"
The moment he really saw the test paper, Li Xianben's somewhat nervous mind instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
'Cui Shengniu!'
Then another thought popped up in my heart, that is-thank you big guy for covering me!
The fill-in-the-blank questions and application questions on the test paper are all covered in the military book sent by Cui Sheng, and it is more than enough to answer them with Li Xian's memory, as for the next association questions about the art of war.
On this topic, Li Xian really wrote his thoughts and opinions.
When Li Xian raised his head, the incense stick on the table in front of him was almost burned.
Looking around, I found that among the martial artists sitting there, those who can really write confidently and write a thousand words are afraid that they are not even ten fingers.
Someone whispered and complained:
Isn't it...... How has it become more and more difficult over the years, and now it is a literary or a martial arts. β
Then came self-comforting:
It's okay...... It's okay, you can rely on horseback archery to save it below. β
More people are playing with the brush, almost gnawing the end of the pen, and then racking their brains to write seven or eight hundred words. It's nothing more than how to send soldiers and horses to quell the rebellion that has occurred, or the strangers who raise troops to rebel, and then show them to be soft.
In an hour and a half, it was time to stop writing, after all, this is martial arts, not literature, and considering the not-so-flying literary brilliance of these martial artists, so, even if more time is given, I believe that these people who are all muscles in their brains will only write a bunch of words dryly, rather than wonderful articles that have been passed down through the ages.
Li Xian is still a little confident in his paper talk, after all, the information explosion in his previous life, what kind of articles by masters pointing out the country, haven't you eaten pork and never seen a pig run? !
Combined with the materials learned during this time, it is still like a god.
There was still some time, looking at the martial artists present, Li Xian's thoughts gradually spread.
A few decades ago or even a hundred years ago, because of the national conditions, the conditions for the selection of martial arts in the Great Jin Dynasty were more to choose the category of fierce generals, as long as the quality of the leading generals at the top was preferred.
However, since Ji Mingwu ascended the throne, the selection method of martial arts has gradually changed, and he attaches great importance to the aspect of Wenluo, which is actually very favorable in all parts of the sixteen states.
The reason is that I don't know whether to be happy or helpless, I can only say that it can be said that success is also Qi, and defeat is also Qi.
In fact, in terms of efficiency alone, this will be a little more troublesome in the early stage, but the further it goes, the easier it will be, and if you think first, you can screen out a large number of uneven warriors.
As far as he knows, the rest of the martial arts test in the future is archery and horse archery, which is a plus, which means that if you are a little worse in Wen Tao, then you can make up for it through this.
This is also the reason why Li Xian saw that among the people, his face still maintained hope, even if some people were flustered, but it was not to the point of despair.
Bang.
When the incense burned, the bell rang, and the civil servants hurriedly walked to each case, transcribed the test papers, and then made a name.
Writing requires thinking, but copying is much faster, and it didn't take too long to transcribe dozens of test papers and present them to a group of examiners.
And the examiners naturally reviewed and graded the papers in the independent military tent on the side, and then arranged those test papers in order according to their merits, and finally naturally waited until the results of the bow shot came out, and then selected the winners.
This process takes a day, which is actually quite efficient.
When Li Xian walked out of the tent, he was surrounded by warriors who came out of the tent, all of them were strong and strong, but these strong men were either full of joy or dejected.
In addition, Li Xian also saw a lot of familiar faces - some generals in the Shanzi battalion, and it seems that people who want to be motivated and ambitious still account for the majority.
The next link is to ride a horse and shoot a bow, and there are many details in it.
One is the long battlement, that is, the long-distance archery on foot, the second is the horse shooting, that is, the horse shoots with a spear, the fourth is the foot shooting, that is, the arrow penetrates the armor, the fifth is the warping, that is, the weight, the sixth is the weight, that is, the basalt, walking twenty steps.
Boom!
An explosion was mixed with another slight cracking sound.
On the school field, a nine-foot-tall, burly man shot arrows with a bow, and the arrow hit the armor two hundred steps away with a loud wind.
The examiner who was recording on the side, his eyes lit up slightly, and he shouted: "Extreme!"
At the same time, another voice also shouted, "Good." β
The results are divided into extreme, fine, excellent and good.
"Impossible......"
A martial artist muttered to himself, his eyes were bigger than the copper bell, you must know that he has completed the bone change, and the strength of the body burst out is five thousand catties, but he never thought that this arrow did not even penetrate the armor.
It's a pity that no matter how the man sighs and disbelief, he has to leave the field gloomily, the opportunity to shoot archery is only once, and if he fails, there is no chance to start over, and if he wants to do it again, he can wait for three years!
Seeing this scene, the warriors in the back of the line exploded one after another, and everyone had different opinions.
"Oh my God, it's even harder this year than it was three years ago!"
One person asked curiously: "How many times have you taken the exam, this old brother......
The man who spoke first said angrily, "Heyβis that the point?!"
No one will remember the loser, on the contrary, the big man caught the attention of the others!
"That guy was so strong!
You don't know this, he, that's a famous murderer, Li Xian, a hundred generals of the Shanzi Battalion, but he usually only hears his name, but doesn't see his person, but today he looks at it, it's fierce enough!"
The person who spoke was none other than the local warrior of Yuanye County.
This person, both men and women, have a gossip heart, not to mention that people with strength in martial arts are often more eye-catching, and Li Xian's name has been recorded by many people with a heart.
Soon it was the turn of the next two, and a long black dragon was lined up on the school field, and then all the martial artists were either confident or desperate in their hearts.
The four words of riding a horse and shooting a bow look and sound extremely simple, but can the martial arts of the Great Jin Dynasty be so simple?
You must know that if you have achieved a little martial arts, you can basically be able to lift the crown, how can the operation of martial arts be carried out by the standards of ordinary people.
The armor alone has been processed through special treatment by the Mo family, and the surface of the armor is coated with something similar to transparent glue, which is full of slippery force, which makes it extremely difficult for bows and arrows to penetrate the armor.
Brute force alone is really not enough, and a little skill is needed, but it can be said that strength accounts for 90 percent, and skill accounts for 10 percent, all of which are indispensable.
The weight lifting, the weight is used basalt, in the name of basalt can be seen the material of this stone, in terms of weight alone, the basalt is in excellent condition, each is more than 10,000 catties!
Of course, it is impossible to use such a good basalt stone here in the school field, but the worst is about 6,000 catties.
That is to say, even after the knock-out, only the martial artists who have completed the bone change and are changing the marrow can get excellent results, which seems simple but is actually like a fish jumping into the dragon gate in thousands of rivers!
Only a handful of them have a chance to stand out.
It's hard. Li Xian couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the various beings on the school field, no wonder Da Zhuang and a few of them were reluctant to sign up, really understanding this point where it would be boring and a waste of time, it was better to put energy on how to improve themselves More important.
But he understands better that there is no cruelty at all in front of him, and cruelty is still to come.
These are the entry-level ones.
Wen is not the first, Wu is not the second, after the big waves and sand, it is the turn of the true essence of martial arts, catch and fight.
Whoever is strong! Whoever wins!
But the more this is the case, the more excited Li Xian's heart becomes, this is the way to martial arts killing.
It is impossible for any martial artist to be a Shilipo Sword God, step by step from someone else's bones!
The golden crow hangs from high to falling.
At this time, the first martial arts test was over, and the crowd dispersed and left in twos and threes, some people were happy and some were sad.
On the way back to the county seat, Li Xian also saw a handsome man surrounded by a group of knights at the city gate that day, protected by many knights in the middle, and his spirit was flying.
Just when Li Xian looked at him with his eyes, as if he felt something, the handsome man looked at Li Xian's position and nodded politely.
'Yunxi. β
Li Xian muttered the name in his heart, and also nodded in return.
The more cruel the environment, the easier it is for excellent people to stand out, and there are many strong people in the examination room in the west of the city alone, among which this man named Yunxi is the most famous.
The results of the six tests of the bow horse are all extremely high, and this man will be a fierce opponent in the next competition.
Little Liuzi, they should be in a hurry, so let's go back quickly. Thinking like this, Li Xian strode away.
It's not that Xiao Liuzi doesn't want to come here and wait, they are really powerless, and the burden on them as soldiers is very heavy, especially on such an important day.
Watching Li Xian's tall back leave, Ji Yunxi's gaze retracted.
What's the matter, Second Master. β
Ji Yunxi smiled and said, "I just saw an interesting person. β
As the so-called despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically, although Ji Yunxi is very confident in his own strength, there is never a shortage of people in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon no matter where he is.
Li Xian can be said to be out of the limelight in today's martial arts test, and when archery, Ji Yunxi happened to be behind Li Xian.
Xiao Guizi turned his mind and said, "Second master, do you want me to collect information." β
Ji Yunxi knocked on the door of Xiao Guizi's head with his backhand, and the latter exaggeratedly sighed.
Ji Yunxi said confidently: "No need...... Most of them are martial artists in the Inner Forging Realm, and there are few in the One Realm. β
Today, the second master is happy, let's go! β
Surrounded by a group of knights, he departed.
