Chapter Seventy-Four: Xiang Zhenzhen
The wind and frost of heaven and earth are exhausted, and the weather is harmonious.
On New Year's Day, at the beginning of the new year, Vientiane is renewed.
The whole Chaoge City is full of lights, and every household is bustling with people, a jubilant scene. And in the Xiang family, it is naturally the same, all the rooms and courtyards are cleaned spotlessly, and the door is also full of red lanterns, and the sense of celebration is pervasive.
It is also on this day that the Xiang family's annual competition for the younger generation is about to begin, not only the Xiang family, but also many families will hold some competitions on this day to investigate the cultivation achievements of the young children of the family, which also makes many young talents start to gear up early, hoping to stand out in the competition, arouse the attention of the family, and let themselves get more cultivation resources.
Of course, in addition to this year-to-date event, there is another happy event that everyone is looking forward to. Shortly after the end of the year, Dynasty Academy's biennial enrollment plan was about to begin. Not to mention anything else, the young talents who can enter the Imperial Academy to learn martial arts are all the best in each family, and their future is almost all a broad road, as long as there is no accidental fall, then it should not be difficult for them to cultivate to the Guiyuan Realm.
It can be said that in the Imperial Academy, there is a complete gathering of elites, and the competition is much fiercer than most people think.
Therefore, because the competition is too fierce, and the test to enter the academy is also extremely difficult, this has led to a large number of teenagers who want to enter the academy being ruthlessly eliminated, and there will even be some young men and women with strong backgrounds, even if the family provides massive resources to assist in cultivation, they still fail to meet the standard of entering the academy.
Speaking of this, in fact, I don't need to say more, as everyone often says, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and some of the teenagers with strong backgrounds who have been eliminated are naturally very unwilling, in order to be able to enter the Dynasty Academy for further study, it is inevitable that there will be people who enter it through the back door through the background, this unfair phenomenon is inevitable, and some people will turn a blind eye.
So, if you can't enter the Dynasty Academy, there is no other place where you can systematically learn martial arts? In fact, the Pingqiu Academy in Fengtai City is also the choice of many people, and it happens to be on the same day as the enrollment of the Dynasty Academy, and the Pingqiu Academy will also start the triennial enrollment activity. As for why it is triennial, it can only be said that Pingqiu College is slightly inferior to Dynasty College in terms of foundation after all, but in the assessment of admissions, Pingqiu College is also difficult.
Moreover, in addition to the Imperial Academy and the Pingqiu Academy, there are actually some forces that are also recruiting new forces. The most famous ones are the three major sects and four major gates in the Dayue Dynasty, they are the Beidou Sect, the Kuilan Sect, the Xiaoyao Sect, as well as the Sword Gate, the Dragon Gate, the Tianxing Gate, and the Shura Gate, all of which are the top forces in the Dayue Dynasty that are famous, and how many people want to join in.
At the beginning of Dayu Village, Xiang Yu met Li Qingfeng, a young master in the Sword Gate, and it is not difficult to see from the methods he used at that time that the Sword Gate can be one of the top forces, and it is naturally not in vain.
The strong people in these forces are like clouds, forming the top power of the Dayue Dynasty, and people directly call it by word of mouth: one emperor, two courts, three sects, four gates, and five families, all of which are awe-inspiring.
At this time, Xiang Yu's room.
"Hoo ......"
With a long exhale, Xiang Yu slowly woke up from meditation, and his state was adjusted to the peak early.
"It's time to come, but it's not a bad thing, so let's make up for the regret of my first time participating in the family year. Xiang Yu looked ahead, his eyes showed the vicissitudes that should not be at this age, remembering the first time he participated in the New Year competition but became a laughing stock, this time, no matter what, he must do his best, and he will definitely no longer evade and retreat!
Then, Xiang Yu got up and got out of bed, bathed and changed clothes under the service of his subordinates, and wore a very formal Zhuzi deep coat, and after looking at the mirror as if it was smelly, he felt that there was no problem, so he pushed the door out.
The reason why it is so formal is because today is not only the festival of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, but also everyone in the family will go to the ancestral hall of the family to worship their ancestors before the New Year, which must not be sloppy in any case, because Xiang Yu's grandfather Xiang Yufeng values these the most, if he feels that someone in the family is disrespectful to the ancestors, it is light to break his leg.
"Grandpa should be out of the customs for the time being today. Xiang Yu thought in his heart that every year when worshipping ancestors, Xiang Yufeng would go out for a short period of time, not only because of the importance of worshipping ancestors in his heart, but also because he intended to deter the cow ghosts and snake gods in the dark.
Walking on the road without hurry, he had already explained to Yu Xuanji yesterday, because outsiders could not participate in such a major event as ancestor worship, so Xiang Yu had to let Yu Xuanji be wronged for a morning, and stay in the room during the period of ancestor worship, don't walk outside, so as not to cause anything.
After a while, Xiang Yu came to a very wide courtyard, along the way, many family members are rushing here, when they see Xiang Yu, most of them will nod their heads, it seems that Xiang Yu has returned to the family after defeating Xiang Chuan The news has spread, compared to the previous Xiang Yu Zheng looked at it, not to mention how these people are philistine, it can be regarded as a recognition of Xiang Yu's strength.
"The ancestral hall of the Xiang family. Xiang Yu glanced up, and what caught his eye was these four big characters, the font was vigorous and vigorous, like a sword carved together, and after looking at it for a long time, it seemed to be caught in a battlefield of golden iron horses, which revealed the artistic conception was obviously not written by ordinary people.
"The eldest prince. Outside the courtyard, the two servants saluted respectfully, and there was still a little curiosity in their eyes, obviously surprised by the recent changes in this eldest prince.
"Hmm. Nodding, Xiang Yu walked into the courtyard of the ancestral hall. At this time, in front of the ancestral hall, the wide courtyard was already full of more than 1,000 people, and the disciples of the main family and the sect family gathered together, all of whom were of the younger generation.
At the forefront, Xiang Yu noticed at a glance that the three teenagers who seemed to stand out from the crowd were surrounded by a crowd of people, and they were the other three sons of the Xiang family: Xiang Huanzhen, Xiang Liugong, and Xiang Yunji.
"Brother Yu, this way, come here!"
In the distance, a young man with beautiful eyebrows among the three shouted with a smile, as if he was childish, full of sunshine, it was Xiang Yunji, the son of Xiang Yu's fourth uncle, compared to Xiang Tianbei's rigidity and strictness, Xiang Yunji looked much more lively and active, smiling, and with a little baby fat on his face, he looked cute and cute.
"Yun Ji. Hearing the shout, Xiang Yu couldn't help but smile and walked towards them, and the crowd consciously gave way to them.
As soon as he approached them, Xiang Yunji couldn't wait to pull Xiang Yu to his side.
"Big brother, long time no see. ”
It was also at this time that beside Xiang Yunji, a young man with thick eyebrows and a fair face said with a slight smile, he was Xiang Liugong, the third son of the Xiang family, and a famous beautiful young man.
The three of them got acquainted with each other, and couldn't help but look at the last figure in front of them.
As if he had a feeling, the owner of the figure also turned around, his figure was tall and tall, he looked taller than Xiang Yu, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and there was an indescribable temperament, which made people unconsciously impressed.
This person is the immortal genius of the Xiang family, Xiang Huanzhen, and now he is a martial monarch powerhouse in the Guiyuan Realm, and all the children of the Xiang family are in awe.
Xiang Yu looked at him, the two looked at each other, as if they knew it by heart, and finally nodded.
