The land of China, one of the oldest in the world, is also the most tenacious civilization.

When other ancient civilizations were drowned in the long river of history due to various disasters, only the people on this land continued to struggle, tenaciously persevered, and did not let the fire of civilization be broken.

Because of this, the country and the people of this land have their own system, and their origins, history, myths, legends, clothing, writing, and etiquette have extremely distinctive characteristics.

At one time, it led the trend and became the center of the world. was also immersed in the glory of the king, arrogant, closed off the country, and was on the verge of decline. It was also regarded as fat meat by major powers and plundered wantonly.

Of course, whether it's beautiful or down, it's a thing of the past. Today, the dragon land is regaining its former prosperity at an astonishing rate, so that the European-dominated world can no longer ignore the voice of the East, and more and more countries are turning their attention to this ancient country.

These eyes are not only mundane, but also mysterious - the accumulation of time and the background of history are the most important mysteries, and how many places can compete with China?

With the passage of time, the ancient clock tower, one of the two poles of the mysterious world famous in the West for its long history, finally could not hold back, and officially began cooperation and exchanges with the East.

Note that it is official, which refers to the official, and private communication in the name of individuals and families is not included. The exchange between the East and the West can be traced back to BC, and there are not a few magicians who are interested in the land of the East, but because of the turmoil in the past hundred years and the chaotic influence of the international situation, the official exchange was cut off for a while, and it was not until the 90s that it improved.

At the beginning of the new century, on the first day of spring, Shinji was one of the first members of a delegation organized by the Clock Tower's top management and the first year-long exchange students to set foot on this ancient land.

However, he did not act with the large army, and even the way to enter the country was not through customs, and he crossed the border directly - but it was not illegal entry, let alone smuggling, and the official delegation had already completed the entry procedures, and the Chinese officials also knew and acquiesced in this behavior, which can be regarded as "Mingdu".

One of the most famous mountains and rivers in China, "Dongyue" Mount Tai, two men, one tall and one short, climbed a nameless cliff that is inaccessible.

"Master, this is it?"

The tall man relied on his height and length to climb the cliff first. This is a young man, around 25 years old, and his physical characteristics can be described in eight words - clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, tiger back and bear waist. The former refers to the face, the latter refers to the figure, and the seemingly contradictory style is integrated into one in him, but it does not make people feel abrupt.

"This is it, your master and I have been practicing in Mount Tai since I was a child, and I can't find anyone in the whole of China who is more familiar with Mount Tai. ”

Although the short man was a step slower, his movements were more relaxed, and he obviously had some energy left. It was an old man whose age could not be distinguished, with gray hair but no wrinkles on his face. The most striking thing is his arm, when the wrist naturally droops, it is unspeakably weird that the wrist is above the knee.

"Is there anything special around here?" the young man looked around, his expression puzzled.

"Nope. The old man shook his head.

"Then why did you choose this place?" the young man did not understand, "it is neither a border nor a necessary way to Beijing, and the road is difficult to walk, except for concealment, there is no advantage at all." But when it comes to seclusion, there are so many places that are more suitable than here, I can't figure it out. ”

"I can't figure it out either. The old man walked to the edge of the cliff and set his eyes on the East China Sea at his feet, "probably to show his strength." Our relationship with the West is characterized by both cooperation and competition. You have also read the information sent above, what do you think of the little foreign devils in the West?"

"It's strong, it's all elite. The young man replied honestly.

"That's right, each of them is the heir of an ancient family, and their status is on par with yours. Do you think the clock tower sent these wonderful young men to us just to learn?"

"Got it, they're the calling card of the clock tower. ”

"Yes, and our calling card is you young people, how about it?

"Of course, those who practice martial arts are not afraid of challenges, please rest assured, Master, I will definitely play the majesty of 'Tongjiquan'. ”

Hearing the apprentice's answer, the old man laughed: "What I want is this momentum." Times are different, and the restraint and modesty of one is undesirable, and the only thing that determines strength is the fist - what do you say?

"Huh?"

"Don't be stunned, hurry up and translate. ”

"Oh-"

The young man quickly cleared his throat and changed his language. His task is to translate, and not many Chinese of the older generation understand English, and there are only a handful of mysteries. There are a lot of young people who are proficient in foreign languages under the official training, and the most outstanding of them is this young man, who is a master's student in the English Department of a well-known university with a secular identity, and his authentic London accent has been praised by many foreign friends.

“hat do you think？”

"I think my seniors are right. ”

An unfamiliar voice came from below the cliff, whether it was Chinese or standard Mandarin, and young people did not dare to guarantee that their Mandarin was more standard than this one.

It's funny, the Chinese speak London, the commissioner from Britain speaks Mandarin, and the old and young don't know how to answer. No one knows what the Chinese level of this commissioner is, in case one can say this?

“……”

“……”

Fortunately, the awkward silence lasted only a few seconds before it was broken by a person rising from below the cliff.

Dressed in black, suspended in mid-air, carrying a huge backpack behind his back. This hand alone impresses the old and the young, and no matter where they are, flying magic is a high-end skill.

What is even more shocking is the appearance of this commissioner, with black hair and black eyes, and his height is about the same as that of an old man. Even if it doesn't matter, Westerners also have dwarfs, such as Napoleon, the emperor of modern times. But this commissioner is too young, not an old monster pretending to be young, but really young, with the old man's attainments in Chinese martial arts, you can see at a glance the vigorous qi and blood of the commissioner, and the unique vitality of the young man will never come back once it is lost.

The commissioner from the West arched his hand at the two of them, and said in a voice that matched their appearances: "I'm sorry to keep you two waiting." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, we've just arrived. The old man waved his hand.

"I haven't consulted the two high names yet. The young commissioner landed and gave up his hand again.

"The sixth generation of the Qi family's 'Tongjiquan', Ji Lin. ”

"The seventh generation, Zhang Puzhuo, how to call the commissioner. ”

"Shen Zhong. ”

The young man gave up for the third time, and that nature gave birth to a strong sense of disobedience in Ji Lin and Zhang Puzhuo's hearts.

"You...... Is it really the Clock Tower's correspondent?"
