Rong Laosan came up with a plate of cut melons and fruits and respectfully put them on the table. The second drum sounded, and the trial of Rongcheng County's slavery officially began.

I saw twenty slave soldiers, in groups of two, carrying a pair of armor to the middle of the school field, and carefully placing them on top of the ten straw mats that had been laid out in turn. Na Wei Shi stepped forward and said to the children of the slave households who stood in ten rows behind the ten pairs of armor: "Wait a minute, there are only these ten pairs of armor in this county, and you should be careful with me after you put them on." After putting on the armor, you have to follow what you have been taught before the township test, feel the vitality of heaven and earth, and you don't need to move. Okay, the first ten people are out of the ranks. ”

Standing at the front of the line, ten people lined up and walked to the straw mat. The slaves on both sides carefully unbuckled their armor and put the ten boys and boys on their heads. Lu Zijing said to Lu Sanzhi: "Sanzhi, this is two iron armor, have you seen it?" Lu Sanzhi said: "I have seen this style, but it is made of leather." ”

"This armor is old, and it doesn't even have a mantle. There are only ten pairs in the county, and it seems that this Rongcheng County is indeed stable. Lu Zijing shook his head and said, "Sanzhi, there is a flat round black stone the size of half a palm on the back of the armor, the back waist, and the shoulders, have you ever seen it?"

Lu Zijing nodded and said, "Exactly, there should be two more pieces on the front of the armor on the chest and waist." It turned out to be the Six Stone Lock Qi, these teenagers have never controlled the Qi Condensation Yuan, this place is quite abundant in the Water Yuan and the Earth Yuan, I am afraid that except for the people of the Water and Earth genus who have a little chance, there is nothing else that can be passed. ”

Sure enough, the ten young men in the armor in the field spread their arms outstretched, perceiving the vitality of heaven and earth according to the law. Half an hour later, the teenagers were sweating profusely and stopped exercising, and only one girl was convicted. After five rounds, three more passed, and in three of them none passed. Wei Shi let the four people who passed sit down on the ground, and ordered the slave army to take the young boys and girls who did not pass down. The teenagers who were taken down were all dejected, and their faces were like ashes.

Lu Zijing picked up a bowl of tea, took a shallow bite, shook his head and said, "Hey, there's nothing to see." Of these more than 100 teenagers, it is estimated that there will be no more than ten people in the end. Lu Zijing turned his head to look at Rong Laosan and said, "Lao Rong, has it been your grandson?" If he doesn't pass, let's go." Rong Laosan was looking at the field in a daze, and suddenly heard Lu Zijing's call, so panicked that he almost dropped the teapot in his hand. "Lang, Lang Jun, my grandson is down there. You see, the first one on the east side is my Sun Rong dog. You're knowledgeable, see if this kid can do it. ”

When Lu Zijing heard this, he smiled and nodded, looking at the young man standing on the easternmost side. I saw that the young man was short and thin, in ragged clothes, standing barefoot on the straw mat with his hands stretched out to the sky, sensing the vitality of heaven and earth. Half a quarter later, the other teenagers were sweating profusely, but the Rong dog was silent, and the sweat was not visible. Because Lu Zijing and the others couldn't see Rong Gou'er's face, they didn't know what kind of situation he was facing.

Rong Laosan hurriedly said: "Lang Jun, what do you think?" Lu Zijing shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not good! Your grandson hasn't sensed the vitality of heaven and earth yet。。。。。。 ”。 Rong Laosan suddenly became agitated, and rubbed the bottom of the teapot with one empty hand.

Suddenly, a slight sound came from Rong Gou'er's body, almost inaudible, and he didn't even pay attention to Rong Cheng Weishi, who was pacing not far in front of Rong Gou'er, but was clearly heard by Lu Zijing, who was on the high platform more than forty steps away! Lu Zijing's heart moved, he frowned secretly, and involuntarily whispered in his mouth: "Ning Yuan? Seeing that Lu Zijing's face was different, Lu Sanzhi asked suspiciously, "Big brother, what's wrong?"

Lu Zijing came back to his senses, did not answer Lu Sanzhi, and calmly sensed the people on the high platform on three sides, and then his face gradually calmed down, and said secretly: "There are actually two high-level Baoyuan? Well, it doesn't hurt." Nodding slightly, he turned his head and said, "It's nothing, I just remembered something." By the way, Lao Rong, your grandson was born with a wood genus, and you can rest assured that you have passed this exam. ”

Na Rong Laosan was in a frustrated state, and when he heard Lu Zijing's words, his eyes widened and said: "Is Lang Jun's words true?" Lu Zijing nodded and smiled: "Seriously, you see, there is vitality next to your grandson's hands, and there is a slight green glow, and this pass has passed." Then he shook his head and laughed at himself, "Forget that you can't see it! Your grandson is very good." ”

As he spoke, the round of testing was completed, and sure enough, the Rong dog was left behind. Rong Laosan stood aside and burst into tears, and kept giving Lu Zi a salute, and kept saying: "Thank you Langjun, thank you Langjun, thank God, thank God... After being taken to the main stage to salute, the Rong dog sat down facing east, and Lu Zijing and the two saw the face of the Rong dog. I saw that the Rong Gou'er face with Chinese characters, high cheekbones, thick eyebrows and thin eyes, thin cheeks, and a dark and resolute face with a hint of joy. After sitting down, Rong Dog straightened his spine and looked intently ahead.

The next test was uneventful, and Lu Zijing had no intention of looking at it again, so he closed his eyes and rested. After another six or seven rounds, the first test was completed, including the five people who passed in the first place, and in the end, only seven people passed the test.

It was past noon, the sun was shining, and the school yard was hot and stuffy, but the civilians and slaves in the west were still enthusiastic, waiting for the seven lucky ones in the field to conduct the next round of tests. At this time, a young man in brocade who was sitting next to the big case of Humen in the middle of the west main platform lazily took off the black gauze on his head, threw it on the couch casually, and said to an elderly man sitting on the main seat: "Big brother, this kind of slave removal from Zhongzhou League is very boring, slaves are slaves, even if these cheap slaves can really perceive the vitality, they really work hard to support them for cultivation? ”

The older man hadn't replied yet, and Xiang Pingfeng, the commander of Rongcheng County, who was sitting next to him, smiled and said, "Jiulang, six years ago, the Great Sima Mansion of the Alliance City personally issued an order to let all counties in the League Land take a test to get rid of slaves. To tell you the truth, when I came here four years ago, Grandpa specifically asked me not to neglect this slave attempt. Actually, like you, I think what's the use of choosing a few cheap slaves? Today you should just come to cheer for your brother, watch the fun, and drink wine. ”

The older man said to Qi Feng at this time: "Jiulang, tie up your head! Learn from Qilang, this is not at home, don't lose the rules." Next to it are the people of Aoi Shui, and they will go to the big shadow with us from now on, so don't let people look down on them. Uncle Gui is the chief secretary of the Zhongzhou League, and he still attaches great importance to this slave removal test, why do you look down on it?" Xiang Pingfeng hurriedly laughed and said: "What the eldest brother said is that now not only the alliance land, but even Dayong has already tried to get rid of slaves. Listening to Grandpa, maybe we will try it out next year. The brocade-clothed young man didn't dare to disobey his eldest brother, so he stuck out his tongue at the young man sitting opposite him, and hurriedly stuck his head on his head again.

Xiang Pingfeng picked up a glass of wine and said to Xiang Qifeng with a smile: "Big brother, brother, I have poor understanding, this is three out of twenty, and I am a high-level concentrater." Grandpa didn't want to see me, and sent me here to be a big county magistrate. Grandpa values you and Xufeng the most, when you arrive in Tianyi tonight, can you help me say good things when you see Grandpa and transfer me to the Mengdu? I'm suffocated here. ”

Xiang Qifeng looked at this cousin who was four years younger than himself with a side face, and secretly despised it in his heart: "As the second son of the Dongguan Grand Sikou, one of the six leaders of the Zhongzhou League, after the Zhichun Gaomen, when he was young, he practiced with the Great Elder of the Zhichun Sect in Tai'an, the main mountain of Zhichun, for several years, but all day long, he only knew that he was drinking and drinking, wandering, not practicing well, unable to control people, and complaining that his uncle did not like it. After that, I have to stay in the alliance for a while, but I can't let him take Jiulang badly!" he planned to do so, but he said: "Don't worry, San Lang will try his best to lobby his uncle for his brother." Xiang Pingfeng was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly raised his glass to thank Xiang Qifeng.

At this time, the slave army had brought four stone locks and placed them in the school grounds. Wei Shi called the seven slave boys to the stone lock and said, "Congratulations, wait a minute! After passing the initial examination, you have successfully freed yourself from slavery. When the seven teenagers heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. Wei Shi smiled contemptuously, his tone became slightly softened, and said, "The following two tests are related to whether you will join the army directly or fly into the Five Academy Pavilion. Don't slack off. Next, the stone is lifted to measure the force, and the four stone locks are at least 50 catties and the heaviest are 200 catties. With that, he pointed to a tall boy standing on the northernmost side and said, "Start with you." ”

The tall boy was about fifteen years old, and he didn't dare to hold it up, so he walked straight to the fifty-pound stone lock, grabbed the lock with both hands, and lifted it seemingly effortlessly. After a short pause after lifting, he put it down. That Wei Shi nodded slightly and said, "You go down to rest, and the others will raise the locks in turn." The rest of the teenagers stepped forward to lift the lock in turn, except for the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl who had a little difficulty, the other teenagers lifted the fifty-pound stone lock with relative ease.

In the second round of lifting a hundred pounds of locks, except for the girl, all the other teenagers also passed the test, but four or five of them were already sweating profusely and their arms were trembling. Seeing this, the captain said, "Don't be too reluctant. I warn you, if you are injured at this level and are unable to participate in the third round of testing, your chance to enter the Five Academy will be lost. Whoever wants to quit, take a step back now. ”

A few teenagers, you look at me, I look at you, no one wants to quit, being able to enter the Five Schools Hall like the civilians of the alliance is tantamount to one step to the sky for them. If you strive for a good ranking in the test, you will naturally have a much better chance of entering the Five Schools. The tall young man strode up to the one hundred and fifty pounds of stone locks, took a deep breath, grabbed the stone locks with both hands, and lifted the big stone above his head with a loud shout.

The onlookers saw that the young man was about to cheer when he lifted the boulder, but when they saw that the stone lock had fallen, he slammed it on the young man's left foot with a muffled sound. The boy screamed and fell to his stomach. In the crowd of onlookers on the east side, two middle-aged slave men and women ran forward wailing, and before they could run two steps, they were knocked unconscious by the tail of the slave army in the field.

The lieutenant ordered the two slave soldiers to lift the fallen boy and carry away the stone lock. Wei Shi glanced at the young man and said, "I can't help myself." This slave has broken bones and bones, and it is gone! Then he turned to the crowd on the east side and said loudly, "You and other untouchables, whoever dares to make a noise and make a mess will not be forgiven!"

After the slave army carried away the boy with the broken foot and the two slave households who had been knocked unconscious, Wei Shi said to the other five teenagers: "Do you want to continue? If no one wants to lift the lock again, then now proceed to the next test." ”

Lu Sanzhi sat in the stands, looking at the miserable situation of the young man in the field, and the nobles around him, drinking and laughing, as if a drama was being staged in the field, he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. I thought to myself that if Guo Lao failed to find his eldest brother with great difficulty, if he was still stumbling in the wool at this time, how much better could his situation be than the young man in the field?
