Volume 1 Riding a horse and leaning on the bridge, full of red sleeves Chapter 138 The Southern Demon
Lu Ye shook his clothes and walked to the front of the stage with his head held high.
At the age of 60, the body is actually in an absolute downhill state, and it is best to take care of it at home. If you are still at the center of power at this time, there will really be countless unexpected constraints.
After ten years in the cabinet, Luye Shen is indeed a little powerless. Even though there are more than a dozen Xinglin Holy Hands who are conditioning day and night, his body is also deteriorating. Especially in autumn, every time I feel the waning days. However, in front of everyone, he still feels in good spirits, as if he will never fall.
Qingyun tried such a trivial matter as Lu Yeshen didn't need Lu Yeshen to preside, but he didn't know what to think, so Mao recommended himself and participated in the affairs of the military attache as a civilian official, probably because he was old and always wanted to promote some juniors.
Lu Yeshen stood on the only stand, looked at the crowd in the audience, and said in a loud voice: "What is history? History is, to put it bluntly, war! War is, to put it bluntly, a war of cultivators! As cultivators, you are responsible for the rise and fall of a country and a nation. The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, not to mention you chosen sons. In the future, you could all be the ones who stir up the storm. If you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will die. It is not to advocate that you fight fiercely, but to let you learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and promote each other. I hope that the future of the country will be glorious to you, and the future of the world will be in your hands!"
Lu Yeshen's time in the Shenji barracks was only a short quarter of an hour, and he had to rush to Wenyuan Pavilion to appease the restless bachelor and listen to the report on the salt tax issue, there were countless problems waiting for him to deal with, and he could only make a short speech here, which would not actually have any motivating effect to a large extent.
Strong force meant excessive freedom, and the relatively weak civil servants had to be hostile to it in order to maintain power. This kind of confrontation between civil and military, Emperor Wen and Emperor Wu can still get an effective balance, but Emperor Wu was a little overkill in the later period, and it has continued until now, and the Wenchen who holds great power has been completely suppressed and there are not many actual military generals.
Under such circumstances, as one of the cabinets, Lu Yeshen would actually come to preside over the Qingyun Trial of the Wanguo Dynasty, which undoubtedly sent a signal to the inside and outside of the court that the status of cultivators and military generals should be improved. Thinking about the comeback of Dongjin Palace more than a month ago, we can find that the Ming Dynasty did not close its eyes to the changes in the general trend of the world, nor did it take no action.
Jiang Wuxuan, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, stepped forward to the stage, his eyes lowered slightly, interrogating the young people standing in the school martial arts arena from all over the world, with a torture-like hostility in his eyes, and no one who was determined could look at him. As the commander of the Imperial Guards, he would probably be hostile to anyone.
"Let's go!"
As Jiang Wuxuan gave an order, someone immediately read out the rules.
"A total of 63 people participated in this Qingyun test, and the winner can enter the next round, a total of six rounds of competition. The first two rounds will be based on a lottery system, and the last four rounds will be compared in pairs according to the previous order. Now, let's go to the first round of draws!"
Ning Du, who represents Qingteng Garden, and Chen Nanping are in an inconspicuous position, because Qingteng Garden is an inconspicuous place. If it weren't for the name of the four universities and Shang Chonggu, the quota of Qingteng Park would have been cancelled long ago.
Sixty-three people drew lots in turn, and Ning Du also drew a bamboo stick, glanced at the numbers on it, and then looked around, and couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.
"It's all about the mountains...... It's all strong, it's a little scary......"
Originally, I thought that the Broken Chu I met in Fangyuan City was strong enough, but I didn't expect that the people here were all at the level of Broken Chu, and there were even many monsters who felt the same as Li Xiu's sin.
"Now you all have a bamboo stick with a number written on it, and the two sides that add up to sixty-four are opponents. Please leave the field, and then we will play according to the serial number!"
The examiner waved his hand, and sixty-three names appeared in order on a huge stone tablet, corresponding to the number of the bamboo sticks in his hand.
The participants of the Qingyun test from various countries withdrew from the school martial arts field and returned to the surrounding seats, waiting for their own serial numbers to be mentioned.
"Brother Wu, what do you think of this Qingyun test?"
Jiang Wuzhen's face was always like frost from armor, and his slightly sunken eye sockets hid a compelling edge, giving people the impression that he was ordering to kill as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Da Ming is too weak. ”
"Da Ming is too weak, not to mention Sword Pavilion and other places, Ling Lang is a popular candidate to win the Qingyun test this year!"
Jiang Wuxuan sneered with disdain, the frost on his face did not melt at all, and he said without any emotion: "He is too weak. ”
......
Compared with the Ming Dynasty, which only sent the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, the main personnel of the missions of the rest of the countries are there, and they obviously attach great importance to it.
Although no one believes that one or two competitions between juniors can represent a contest of national strength, this can still become a kind of belief, and it can be skillfully used as a powerful force. In this regard, Daming is too "reserved" and "disdainful".
"I have heard the name of Mr. Nanguo Lu for a long time, and when I see it today, I am fortunate to have three lives. ”
General Ye said with a smile, it was Lu someone's honor to see the first flag of the Great True Country. ”
When it comes to the meeting between the envoys of various countries, there are many evasions, especially in big countries like Dazhen and Nanguo, where every move and every word they say will be recorded, and there will be too many speculations for no reason.
Ye Xinluo said: "The south is really full of talents, and this year's Qingyun test should be the south stepping on the green clouds." ”
"Dazhen is also not weak, and other countries are also strong. Since the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, the outcome is unknown. ”
"Indeed, in recent years, a large number of amazing little guys have emerged, and they are highly talented and scary. No matter which country it is, the future is promising!"
Lu Jiuqian glanced at Ye Xinluo, a little unable to guess what the other party wanted to express, maybe it was really just a few small talks, so he continued to gossip without bounds.
......
Except for one stand, which is higher than the school martial arts field, the rest of the places are lower than the school martial arts field. Normally, there are no seats around, but today it is a special case, and everyone who watches is sitting on the seats.
The big people on the stage are talking, and the people below have more to say.
"I heard that the school martial arts field of this Divine Machine Barracks is made of special stones, which can disturb the cave view and fighting, and ordinary cultivators can't adapt to it, and there will be errors in judgment. ”
"Not only that, but the cultivation is more or less suppressed! The strength can only be exerted seventy or eighty!"
"It's kind of interesting to talk about the rules of the game. ”
"No! If the second place meets the first place in the first round, won't it be the penultimate first!"
"Luck is also a kind of strength, and when you meet those who are strong, you can only consider yourself unlucky. ”
"If you want to say that the first round is luck, then the second round is about the family. ”
"How?"
"After the first round of competition, if your family background is thick enough, then you can get information about everyone, and then you will naturally have countless countermeasures! Buy a few treasures to restrain your opponent, and you will naturally win smoothly!"
"It's true to say this, but not knowing who the opponent is means that you have to prepare the countermeasures of thirty-one opponents, and it is a hassle to just write down each countermeasure!"
"It's not that you need a strong enough foundation......
"The reward of this Qingyun test can be said to be quite eye-catching......"
"I don't know how long it will take for a match to end......"
It was not only the embassies of various countries present that were present, but also invited people from all walks of life, and it was bound to be noisy and noisy when sitting together.
"Qingyun test, the first round of the first game: No. 1 Nanguo Li Xiu against No. 63 Daming Sword Pavilion Chen Taixu. ”
Li Xiu walked onto the stage and stood quietly, with no emotion on his somewhat gloomy face. He is a little thin, and he will not make people think that he is tough.
Chen Taixu took a deep breath and bowed: "Daming Sword Pavilion, Chen Taixu, please teach Daoyou!"
Li Xiuxin did not move, nor did he respond.
"The Holy Land of Kendo, the Sword Pavilion of the Ming Dynasty! This year, four disciples were sent to participate in the Wanguo Dynasty, and I heard that they are all outstanding talents. The last time he won the first place in the Qingyun Test, it was the person from the Sword Pavilion who won the first place, and this time it shouldn't be too weak!"
"That Chen Taixu of the Sword Pavilion is using the Thunder Sword, isn't that a flying sword that can only be activated by the Four Realms?"
"People who look a little plain, their strength should be very strong!"
"The southern ones are not necessarily weak, it should be a dragon fight!"
"The first scene should be the most exciting!"
Ning Du stared towards the stage, he was also using a sword, he could sense the strength of the disciple of the Sword Pavilion, which was a strength that had been consolidated step by step, giving people a feeling of invulnerability. However, the other party was facing Li Xiuxi, and Ning Du knew better what kind of monster Li Xiuxi was. In this competition, the Sword Pavilion lost a lot.
"Let's go!"
Chen Taixu raised his hand and took out his sword, the palm was like thunder, the momentum was full of momentum, and Cui Wei was grand.
"Thunderbolt!"
Several thunderbolts appeared out of thin air, and with the flying sword, they rushed towards Li Xiu with the momentum of thunder!
"A decent start, can play a role in testing the opponent and attacking, this hand 'thunderbolt string shock' is not easy to catch, the one in the south has no action, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch!"
Suddenly, the entire venue was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the school martial arts field, even the eyes of the guards who stood like stone statues changed slightly.
Li Xiuxian raised his head slightly, and his outstretched hand clenched suddenly.
"Demon Hand Blood!"
Bang!
The terrifying blood flowers exploded on the school martial arts field, falling quickly like a torrential rain.
The position where Chen Taixu of the Sword Pavilion was standing just now was no longer empty, and the flying sword with a roar shot out of the school martial arts field, and was stopped by the guards.
Tick!
In the entire school martial arts field, only the sound of blood falling was left.
