Chapter 42: Departure
The two of them settled all the food on the table like a storm.
After eating, Qingfeng Lan, under the leadership of Xuanyue, walked towards the martial arts courtyard, although it was towards the martial arts courtyard, but along the way, Qingfeng Lan saw any novelty and had to play for a while, which was not too far away, and the two of them did not walk until noon.
Standing at the gate of the Martial Academy, looking at the twelve giant pillars standing outside, Xuan Yue explained: "These giant pillars are the most powerful people in the empire in the past, and they are all people who have made outstanding contributions to the empire. ”
Qingfeng Lan looked at the eleventh giant pillar engraved with Yu Honglan, his eyes were full of awe, knowing that there were people watching nearby, so he didn't salute, but stood in front of the giant pillar and watched quietly.
Xuan Yue saw Qing Feng Lan staring at the eleventh giant pillar, and stood straight and said: "Yu Honglan is the most powerful general in this dynasty, a weak woman, but she makes several border countries dare not invade. I heard my father say before that at that time, it was a great honor for them to be able to train under General Yu. ”
Qingfeng Lan didn't speak, looking at the figure standing at the top of the giant pillar, but the appearance and words were very similar, worthy of being a mother and daughter.
After looking at it for a while, Qingfeng Lan walked around the giant pillar towards the martial arts courtyard, the martial arts academy did not have a decent gate, except for the twelve giant pillars on the front of the two watchtowers, there were scattered houses and training grounds everywhere, after thinking about it for a while, I also understood that this place produces military talents, and the force value is not low, and it is estimated that no one wants to come here to find fault.
Under the leadership of Xuan Yue, the two of them turned a few corners and came to a large hall, the hall was full of people, as if they were waiting for something, Xuan Yue whispered to Qing Fenglan: "Today is the selection of the head of the sect and the lecturer, so the six introduced people are here, usually there are not so many people in the martial arts academy, especially those noble children, it is even more impossible to come to the martial arts academy." ”
Qingfeng nodded, but how many of the children of the aristocratic family were willing to come to these rough places?
Qingfeng Lan and Xuanyue walked into the main hall, and the two of them did not squeeze to the innermost, but stood by the door, without any intention of going in.
After Qingfeng Lan and the two came in, many people looked sideways, and some people would nod slightly when they saw Xuanyue, but they completely ignored it when they saw Qingfenglan.
Xuan Yue, who was standing on the side, was a little embarrassed, Qingfeng Lan didn't care at all, seeing that everyone was standing in the main hall, and there was no place to sit around, she simply sat on the threshold, and the person who originally looked down on Qingfeng Lan now looked down on this person who seemed to be useless.
After Qingfeng Lan sat down, he began to have a large number of halls, and there were all kinds of weapons around the hall, some had seen them, some had not seen them, and some had seen them in books, there were many types, and there were probably more than a hundred kinds of weapons after counting, Qingfeng Lan secretly sighed in his heart, the imperial capital is indeed the imperial capital, and even there are so many types of weapons, and now I know why people have to go to the imperial capital, after all, no matter how good other places are, it is impossible to be better than the imperial capital.
Not long after, a man in armor stood on the front platform, and after standing on the platform, he looked around, and just one look quieted the noisy crowd around him.
After seeing the crowd quiet, the man spoke: "I am the chief of this selection, my name is Chen Hong, you can call me Chief Chen." ”
After Chen Hong finished speaking, he bowed his hands and said, "Chief Chen!"
Qingfeng Lan didn't know these etiquettes, so he didn't get up and salute, but when he saw that Xuanyue beside him was glaring at him, he stood up and saluted.
Chen Hong had already found Qingfeng Lan when he came in, after all, everyone was standing, and only one person was sitting on the threshold, even if he didn't want to see it, it was impossible. Originally, Qing Fenglan was a little unhappy and sat there, but when he saw that Qing Fenglan followed the salute with a blank face in the end, he also knew in his heart that this was a stupid boy who had never seen the world, so he didn't say anything.
After everyone finished saluting, Chen Hong said: "This selection is divided into two groups, one group selects the head of the teacher, one group selects the lecturer, and you can't participate in the two groups of selection at the same time. ”
After finishing speaking, the people below began to walk towards the place where they wanted to select, and Qingfeng Lan asked in a low voice, "Hey, did your father say that we should select something?"
Xuan Yue whispered: "Father said that you can choose whichever one you think is easier to enter the Martial Academy, and after entering the Martial Academy, my father will find a way to transfer you to the head of the sect." ”
Qingfeng Lan nodded and said, "In the future, only the head of the sect can vote?"
Xuan Yue nodded and said: "Yes, the lecturer actually wants to go to the Academy of Literature to explain knowledge to students, so he requires more knowledge, and the requirements for strength are not high." ”
Qingfeng Lan nodded and walked towards the head of the sect.
After just two steps, he suddenly stopped in the middle, his brows furrowed, and he was about to ask Xuanyue some questions, but a voice sounded in front of him: "What's the matter?
Qingfeng Lan looked up suddenly, only to find that everyone had already made a choice, only he was standing in the middle of the hall, and Chen Hong had already walked in front of him.
Qingfeng smiled embarrassedly: "Chief Chen, I don't know the difference between a head teacher and a lecturer, so I hesitated." Can you answer for me?"
Chen Hong had long known that this was a stupid boy, and it was normal not to know the difference, but he was not in the mood to answer, so he turned around and walked back to the high platform.
Xuan Yue immediately pulled Qingfeng Lan aside and whispered: "Brother Qingfeng, this Chief Chen is very eccentric, you must not let him target him." ”
Qingfeng Lan looked at Chen Hong's back and said: "I found out, by the way, I just asked you, the lecturer goes to the Academy of Literature to give a lecture, then you can meet the Ninth Princess, what about the head of the sect?"
Xuan Yue: "Of course, the head of the department has a higher status than the lecturer, and the lecturer can only go to the Academy of Literature during class, but the head of the teacher can go to the Academy of Literature at any time." ”
Qingfeng Lan nodded and walked towards the head of the sect.
After seeing that the last two people were also standing, Chen Hong waved his hand, and a team of people took away those who chose the lecturer selection.
After seeing the person who selected the lecturer left, Chen Hong said: "There is a basic requirement for the selection of the instructor, that is, he can serve the public, in the army, the only way to serve the public is to be strong enough, all kinds of weapons in the hall, now everyone chooses a weapon." ”
After speaking, he turned his back, not looking at the people below, the people around him walked towards the weapon rack on the side of the main hall, although there were many weapons, but there was only one of each, everyone wanted to choose a weapon that they were used to, so after Chen Hong finished speaking, everyone ran to the weapon rack.
Qingfeng Lan was not in a hurry, swayed and slipped to the edge of the main hall, and took a look, most of the weapons he knew had been selected, but Qingfeng Lan was not in a hurry, and walked slowly along the weapon rack, picked up a wooden stick casually, picked it up and weighed the strength, and then returned to the previous position on his shoulder.
When he returned to his position, he found that Xuan Yue was already standing there waiting for him, looking at the weapon in Xuan Yue's hand, Qing Fenglan had a puzzled face.
Xuanyue knew what Qingfeng Lan was wondering about, and explained: "I have not been as good as my brothers since I was a child, so I have not learned any weapons, only a short dagger given to me by my mother, which is also the weapon I am most accustomed to. ”
Qingfeng Lan nodded, although the weapon has to match his own spirit, but Xiang Xuanyue can also do this, but there is no way to exert the maximum power of the spirit, but the familiar and accustomed weapons are much better than those unfamiliar weapons.
After everyone had chosen their weapons, Chen Hong turned around and said, "The selection has officially begun, all you have to do is touch the Twelve Pillar Stones. ”
After saying that, Chen Hong walked off the high platform and disappeared into the main hall, and the moment everyone in the hall saw Chen Hong disappear, they rushed out in a swarm.
Qing Feng Lan looked curiously at the group of people who suddenly rushed out, and then looked at the anxious Xuan Yue beside him and asked, "What is the situation?"
Xuan Yue explained a little anxiously: "Although the Martial Academy does not have a wall, every building and every place here is a big killer, let us touch the Twelve Pillar Stones, but there will be many tests along the way." ”
Qingfeng: "If there will be many tests along the way, isn't it better to follow behind everyone, why are you so anxious?"
Xuanyue: "Brother Qingfeng, have you seen the watchtower in front of the door?"
Qingfeng: "I see... Arrive.... Finish... ”
Only then did Qingfeng Lan realize that the two watchtowers that were originally behind the pillar stone had appeared in front of the main hall, and they were still moving.
Xuan Yue continued to explain: "The entire martial arts academy is a city of organs, those who go out first can barely find it back, and those who go out later can barely find the way back, let alone find the way, it is already very good to know where they are." ”
Qingfeng Lan looked back, there was no one in the hall anymore, only himself and Xuanyue, and it seemed that it would take some effort.
Gently patted Xuanyue's head and said, "Although I don't know what's going on, and I haven't touched anything like a trick, but with me here, you can rest assured." ”
After speaking, he took the lead and walked out of the main hall, and after walking out, he saw that the watchtower that was still at the door before had now reached the back of the main hall, and countless feathered arrows flew out of the main hall where he was, and there were screams all around.
Qingfeng Lan looked back at Xuan Yue and said, "Are you sure this is a selection?
Xuanyue: "All soldiers are determined to die after going to the battlefield to survive, these feather arrows can't really kill these people, just eliminate those who haven't made up their minds yet." ”
Qingfeng Lan nodded, took a deep breath, took off the wooden stick on his shoulder, played with a spear flower, shook it vigorously and said, "Okay, let's go!"
