(There is no name on the new book list, lonely and pitiful, ask for recommendation votes...... ）－

The fragrance of flowers is all over the field, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and it is spring again.

On the lecture floor of the lower temple of Chuganji Temple, a keju contest is about to be held.

Keju is an ancient sport that was popular in the pre-Qin period, and has evolved into many forms of competition. Before the Tang Dynasty, it was dominated by a confrontational double-goal style, with players on both sides performing their own duties and strangling on the field. Everywhere the ball goes, people turn over on their backs, and after a game, it is not uncommon for the nose and face to be swollen, and even the broken leg and head. There is also a more elegant single-goal style, which is mainly used by literati and women to play.

To put it bluntly, the two-goal kicking at that time was very similar to the football games of later generations, but the confrontation was better than that of rugby. The single-goal game is similar to volleyball in terms of rules, rattan ball in technique, and basketball in scoring......

In the Song Dynasty, Keju developed into the first national sport, known as 'if you talk about romance, no fault to kick football', can kick a good ball, is considered to be the most glorious, the most face-saving thing. The main body of the competition is no longer the soldiers and the nobles who advocate bravery, but the emperor and princes, down to the common people. In particular, the enthusiasm of the literati made the competitive and performative nature of the competition gradually replace the confrontational and military nature. Double goal games are no longer favored. Instead, there is a single-goal 'ball-building' and a goalless 'white shot'.

What is currently being held at Zhongyan Academy is a ball building competition.

Before the game, people used white ash in advance to draw a rectangle ten zhang long and five zhang wide in the open space, and then divided into two square halves with a middle line. At the midpoint of the middle line, there are two bamboo poles that are more than two zhang high, and a net is knotted on the bamboo poles, and the hole with a diameter of about one foot is left on the net, which is called 'Merry Eye'. In the game, both sides can only score if they kick the ball through the eyes.

The two halves are called the left army and friendly troops, and the two sides of the game are divided into them, and they must not cross the line. Seven people in the left army, the team members have a clear division of labor, there are ball heads, seeballs, coercion, head coercion, left pole net, right pole net, scattered, all wearing red brocade jackets, trousers, cowhide soft boots, of which the ball head wears a long-legged head, and the rest of the people wear curly feet. The same is true of the right army, but they all wear blue brocade jackets, which are clearly distinguished from the left army.

There are also three referees on the sidelines, called 'Shesi', and outside the field, each army also has its own coach, called 'deployment' and 'correction'. In such an official competition, cheerleaders on the inside and outside are naturally indispensable. Before the game began, the cheerleaders on both sides began to shout and cheer for their teams, which was no different from the sports competitions of later generations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This competition is an annual competition between the 'upper third class' and the 'lower third class', and it has undoubtedly become the focus of the academy, attracting not only the teachers and students of the college, but even Wang Fu, the eldest daughter of the mountain, who rarely shows her head, and Su Xiaomei, who is regarded as an elf by the students of the academy, also came to watch the battle.

Wang Fang also came, and the old gentleman shamelessly took advantage of his privileges to occupy the best position to watch the game, and also asked people to lay out a table, set a few, and a few older professors, taste delicious food and wine, and enjoy the game comfortably.

As soon as the hour came, Professor Du, who served as the secretary of the society, came to the goal with a bow for the game. I saw that the bow was brown and round, with the inflatable pig bladder as the inside, and the twelve pieces of cooked nitrate yellow leather cut with real materials as the table, without revealing the corners of the line, densely sewn together, and the pieces were very round, weighing twelve taels. Whether it is the shape, weight or foot feel, it is not much different from the standard football of later generations.

He summoned the ball heads of both sides to the front, and the ball head of the third class of the left army was a young man six feet long, with healthy wheat-colored skin, sword eyebrows, and heroic spirit, who was already seventeen years old.

Chen Ke's height is already standing out from the crowd, but the ball head of the third class of the right army is nearly a foot taller than him. This black and strong black iron tower, with a bitter and bitter face, looks like it is thirty miles away. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he called Chen Sanlang 'brother': "Third brother, there is no father and son on the playing field, we won't let you!" "Who is it if it's not Chen Jiagolang?

"Worry about yourself!" Chen Ke smiled, revealing his neat white teeth.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's draw lots and pick sides to kick off." The secretary was impatient, and stretched out his hand, and there were two paper balls in his palm.

Chen Ke asked Wulang to catch it first, and Wulang picked one up casually, unfolded it and looked at it, with the word 'side' written on it, and said, "We want the right army." "In this kind of golf game, the wind direction has a certain influence, so it is natural to choose the side that is beneficial to oneself.

The next three classes picked the side, and naturally the upper three classes kicked off.

When the mountain chief lit the incense stick with his own hands and a gong sounded, Chen Ke passed the ball to Song Duanping, who served as a 'scattered', Song Duanping caught it, and then passed the ball with his knee to the other players. During this period, the ball did not land, and after three touches of the ball, it returned to Chen Ke.

This series of passes was obviously carefully choreographed, and the ball was not slow and steady, so that the difficulty of his kicking in the right part was minimized.

I saw Chen Ke angry dantian, with good strength, picked up his big foot, hit the ball with his instep, and the brown ball drew a beautiful arc, which was worthy of shooting through the goal three feet high and about one foot.

The cheerleaders in the third class suddenly resounded with deafening cheers, and Chen Sanlang's 'Flying Rainbow Ball' really deserved its name!

But after seeing that the ball passed through the wind eye, it fell into the right army formation, and was caught by a 'scattered' high foot, and the ball was gently pushed out by him as if it was stuck to his feet, and passed to his teammates without hurrying, if it was twice, adjusted to the best position, with the best strength, passed to Chen Wulang, during which the ball still did not land.

Kuroro flew up with a kick, a powerful and heavy kick, and the ball was deformed, without the slightest arc, directly over the goal more than two feet high, and flew to the far end of the opponent's court before falling.

According to the rules, if the ball lands within the opponent's boundary, the team will restart the ball to organize an attack. If your opponent kicks out of bounds, the opponent will kick off to form an attack. The chance of a re-kick-off was crucial because the net was less than two feet wide, and there was only one narrow one on the goal more than two feet high. Even if you get the kick right, you need skilled skills to kick it to the net, let alone pierce the wind and eyes.

In a game like this, even if I can't score, it won't give you a chance to adjust comfortably and penetrate the eyes. Forcing the opponent to catch the ball and land or kick the ball out of bounds to give us a chance to restart the ball has become the usual idea of the game.

Kurogoro's big foot is his unique stunt, called 'Cupola Cannon', which rises and falls quickly, making it easy for the other party to mistakenly think that it will go out of bounds, but in the case of headwinds, there is a chance that he can fall into the boundary, which is why he chose the right army.

"Out of bounds, out of bounds, out of bounds!" The cheerleaders in the third shift shouted.

"Inside, inside, inside!" The cheerleaders of the next third shift also made noise.

Therefore, in the eyes of the players on the left, the line where the ball fell rapidly looked likely to press the line. The nearest player hurried to meet it, and with a leap of fish, he was in the touchline and returned the ball with his head.

When the ball was about to land, Song Duanping had already rushed to the ground, and with a seemingly understatement, he unloaded most of the force on the ball, making it fly gently again.

"Whoa......" The cheerleaders of the upper third class cheered, and the lower third class cheered.

But forced to only touch the ball three times, the left army has been unable to organize an effective attack, can only barely send the ball to Su Shi who served as the 'right net pole', he tried his best to shoot, but only kicked the ball high and far, not even touching the net, let alone talking about the scoring.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the lower third class, there are many rich children who play a good ball, and the overall level is higher than that of the upper third class. They can pass and catch the ball from any part of their body except their hands, and they are full of tricks and precision, and they can take the initiative in a few rounds. Fortunately, Chen Ke and Song Duanping, who are in the third class, are the two with the highest ball skills in the academy. Song Duanping is running all over the field, and he can always save the ball in an impossible place, while Chen Ke has eyes on his feet, as long as the ball is fed properly, even if he can't shoot through the goal, he can hit the net and bounce back, and organize an attack again.

If the feeding position is not good, he can also give the opponent a big problem with a powerful and tricky big football.

Under the leadership of these two, the players of the upper third class did their best to fight with each other. In order to win, the two sides came up with the unique skills of housekeeping, what '**', 'kidnapping kick', 'hanging golden hook'...... The action is chic and beautiful, full of the beauty of power.

The ball flew around and didn't hit the ground for half a day. The crowd was dizzying, cheering loudly for every wonderful touch of the ball, cheering for every goal, lamenting every missed shot, and cheering for the players after the mistake.

The warm atmosphere on and off the pitch is no different, and everyone who is in it is fascinated.

Before you know it, the incense stick burns out, the gong sounds, the incense burns out, and the first half of the game is over.

Everyone just went to see the scoreboard, and both sides were two more 'positive' words, seven to seven, and the battle was tied!

Although it is not a direct confrontation, such a fierce game does not discount the consumption of the players on both sides at all.

The fourteen players on the field were all drenched in sweat and drenched, panting with their hands on their waists. But the eyes are still murderous, just waiting to crush the opponent in the second half.

But at this time, let's hurry up and get off the game and take a break.
