Chapter 28 Apprentice Promotion Competition
The second time I came to Hongya Cave. Because Li Bai and Gao Yu did not cause great historical changes this time, Hongya Cave is still the same as before, and Hongya Sword Hall is still standing.
It was two o'clock in the afternoon when Xun Ze and Zhao Ke'er arrived at Hongya Cave, and neither of them was hungry, so they planned to walk around first before going to eat.
"Let's go to the Sword Pavilion and have a look. Asked Xun Ze to look up at the Hongya Sword Pavilion not far away, and wanted to take a look.
Last time, I didn't go in to visit because I came in too much hurry, but this time I had plenty of time to see the difference between this famous sword hall and the ordinary sword hall of Lao Xiong.
"Hello sir. There were disciples of the Sword Pavilion outside the door of the Sword Pavilion who were in charge of reception, and when they saw Xun Ze and the others coming over, they immediately asked, "May I ask if you are here to visit the Sword Pavilion or to watch the game." ”
"I want both. Yu Xunze asked, "Can you move around freely inside?"
"Visitors can only walk around the platform or corridors, and other places are off-limits to visitors. The Sword Pavilion disciple said, "And because there is a Sword Pavilion Apprentice Promotion Tournament today, if you want to go to the Guanwu Stage, you have to buy a ticket." ”
"How much is the ticket?" asked Xun Ze curiously.
"Four hundred for one person in the first five rows, and one hundred for one person after the fifth row. ”
"Give two tickets for the first five rows. "Called Xunze recently because of the tuition fee from Da Meow, he also has more money in his pocket, so he directly scanned the code and bought two tickets for the first five rows.
"Well, okay. The disciples of the Sword Pavilion saw that Xun Ze paid the money, and then gave Xun Ze and Zhao Ke'er a small wooden card.
The wooden plaques are intricately carved with special signs that visitors can take with them when they leave.
With the wooden sign, when I walked into the sword hall, there was a very good-looking girl who took Xun Ze and Zhao Keer to the second floor.
The Hongya Sword Pavilion looked very magnificent from the outside, but I didn't expect to walk in, and the space inside was even more huge.
The entire first floor is the playing field of the Sword Gym, and then the seats that the spectators can sit in gradually rises outwards until they reach the second floor.
Therefore, even if you buy a ticket for the back five rows, you can actually see all kinds of details on the martial arts field, but the atmosphere will be worse.
"You're in luck. The girl who led the way glanced at the seat, then turned her head to Xun Ze and said, "Just now, there were two spectators in the second row who left early because of something, you can sit down." ”
"Thank you. Called Xun Ze to say thank you, and then sat with Zhao Ke'er and the girl who led the way signaled where she could sit down.
The reason why it is said that this is a place where you can sit is because there is not a single chair at all on the viewing platform of the Sword Pavilion. The only thing the audience can do is the mats spread on the platform, but this makes the overall surrounding environment look in line with the quaint decoration style of the sword hall.
After asking Xun Ze and Zhao Ke'er to sit down, they found that in addition to the small bottle of mineral water next to the seat, there was also a booklet, which wrote the rules of this Sword Pavilion apprentice promotion competition and the list of all the apprentices who participated in the competition.
"The sixteenth group is over. As the referee standing on the jousting pitch spoke, another group of apprentices ended the match.
"The seventeenth group is ready to play. The referee waved his hand and signaled the seventeen groups of apprentices sitting on either side of the arena to prepare to play.
The Apprentice Promotion Tournament is an extremely brutal knockout round, with the winners of each group advancing and the losers eliminating. In the end, as long as you can enter the top eight, you can become a disciple of the Hongya Sword Pavilion, instead of just an apprentice.
As long as you can become a disciple of the Sword Pavilion with the qualification to participate in the National Sword Gym League, even if you can't represent the Sword Gym you belong to in the league, you can also participate in other Tang Sword fencing competitions with this identity. At the same time, he also has the qualification to participate in the sword master promotion competition.
Once you become a sword master, then you can open a separate museum and own your own sword hall.
Lao Xiong, a good friend named Xun Ze before, was able to open a sword hall by himself because he participated in the promotion competition in a large sword hall when he was young and became a sword master.
Of course, this knowledge was only known by Xun Ze just now while chatting with Lao Xiong on social software while reading the brochure.
"That's right. Lao Xiong sent a message, "I used to teach a little girl, her name is Chi Yihan, she should also participate in the promotion match today, you can find out what group she is in, and come back to tell me the result." ”
"Why did your disciple go to the Hongya Sword Pavilion?" asked Xun Ze curiously.
"Our kind of sword gym is generally used for enlightenment, and there is no qualification to hold promotion matches. Therefore, when the disciples are taught by me, they will go to some sword halls that are qualified to hold promotion tournaments, become their apprentices, and then participate in the promotion tournaments. ”
"That's right. He opened the booklet and searched for a few minutes, and then found the name.
Chi Yihan, group 20.
Called Xunze to see this, and then hurriedly looked up and found that the competition in the nineteenth group was almost over.
"The 19th group is over, and the 20th group is ready to play. The referee shouted.
"Chi Yihan, please advise. A girl with a ponytail walked up to the jousting platform with a sword in her hand and saluted her opponent.
It was her.
Called Xunze saw this girl named Chi Yihan and found that this girl was the girl who had eaten tofu brain together last week.
Such a coincidence.
Called Xun Ze to be interested and watch this game seriously.
"Teacher, this young lady seems to be the one you knocked her tofu brain on the ground last week. Zhao Ke'er on the side also recognized Chi Yihan.
"Don't open any pot and mention it. Yu Xunze pinched Zhao Ke'er's face and said, "It's not that you are in trouble." ”
"It's wet (Master). Zhao Keer said vaguely, "Don't pull my face, it'll be round." ”
"How cute your round face is, you can let others eat it as a cake when they are hungry. ”
"If you want to eat, you will eat you. Zhao Ke'er pouted.
"Okay, watch the game. Asked Xun Ze to point to the arena, and then watched the game seriously.
Ji Yihan's opponent is also a girl about fifteen years old.
As a sport with a high demand for strength, fencing is a sport that does not discriminate between men and women. However, since most of the qualified players are men, there is also a separate women's competition, but the impact is not high.
Similarly, the Sword Pavilion Disciple Promotion Tournament does not distinguish between men and women, but the male and female contestants will be separated before the semi-finals, so although the female apprentice cannot get a high ranking in the competition, she can guarantee the same promotion quota as the male apprentice.
