Chapter 17: The Strong
The cultivators of the Northern Wei Dynasty were tall and strong.
This is the unified impression of the Northern Wei cultivators in the world, not to mention that even if they are not cultivators, it is a common phenomenon that northerners are taller than southerners.
In the world of cultivation, although cultivation does not rely entirely on physical ability, the innate physical condition still has a huge impact. The taller the stature, the more muscles it has, and the longer the length of the arms, and under the same true element conditions and techniques, the taller person has an absolute advantage.
The fierce physique was an important reliance on the cultivators of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the cultivation world, and it also became their symbol.
In the same way, as the strongest person who led a group of young cultivators, the stepson of the Northern Wei Dynasty, even if he was not the tallest in a group of people, he should be the best in terms of stature.
Looking at the shocked crowd outside the carriage, it was not surprising that Ying Baoyue was in shock.
Because unlike some countries such as the Former Qin, unlike those stepsons directly appointed by the king, the stepsons of the Northern Wei Dynasty have always been the most genuine among the stepsons of various countries.
The more harsh the environment, the more power is believed, Ying Baoyue narrowed her eyes slightly.
The Northern Wei Dynasty was the place where the status of middle-aged men was the highest and the status of women and the elderly was the lowest in the whole Shanhai Continent.
In her previous life, Ying Baoyue once saw a sentence when she was reading history books, "The strong eat fat, and the old eat the rest." Noble and strong, cheap and old. ”
Noble and strong, cheap and old.
This sentence can also be placed on the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the further north you go on this continent, the more prevalent this sentence becomes.
The cruel environment creates a cruel law of survival.
Tall men with a predominance in physical strength have a high status, and the status of the elderly, weak, women and children is low.
Only the strong can survive in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
In the Northern Wei Dynasty, the stepson who participated in the primary ceremony had to conduct many rounds of brutal internal fighting in the country before going to Southern Chu, and only the first warrior who finally won could obtain the glory of the stepson of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
This glory will accompany that warrior for the rest of his life, and unlike other countries, even after the end of the primary ceremony, the stepson of the Northern Wei Dynasty can still retain this name and be worshiped by all the Northern Wei people.
Almost all the people in the Northern Wei Dynasty were soldiers, and the teenagers in the Northern Wei Dynasty who could get on horses and shoot arrows at a few years old would stimulate the greatest blood when they competed for the name of their stepson, and the warriors who came out in this way must be tall and mighty predators.
Ying Baoyue had seen several Northern Wei stepsons on the Great Wall of Eternal Night before, each of them was more than eight feet tall, although the tallest soldier she had ever seen back then was always Lou Xiaolou's brother Lou Lou, but in any case, even Ying Baoyue didn't expect that the Northern Wei Dynasty's stepson this year would be like this.
Hearing the ridicule of the people around him, the young man riding on the conspicuous eight-foot dragon horse quietly turned his head, causing the people around him to breathe.
Ying Baoyue was also slightly stunned.
Without him, this is definitely the most delicate Northern Wei person she has ever seen.
Ying Baoyue looked at the handsome young man in cloth clothes with a long sword at his waist from afar, and the ridicule of people before sounded in his ears.
Although she felt that this stepson was definitely not that simple, it was not difficult to see his face and think about why people would say that he was a little white face.
He was too thin.
In the distance, the young man's horse was a head taller than the others, but he was a head shorter than the others when he rode on the horse.
Ying Baoyue even suspected that he might only be a little taller than the body of a little princess like hers.
Not only is he thin and small, but this stepson of the Northern Wei Dynasty looks like he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a fair complexion, beautiful contours, red lips and white teeth.
You think you're going to see a big sword, but you don't expect to see a rapier.
Looking at the thin teenager who was about to be emaciated, the other teenagers in the crowd who were originally overwhelmed by the momentum of the Northern Wei cultivators suddenly burst into laughter.
"Where did the stinky kid come from......"
"Did the Northern Wei Dynasty make a mistake?"
"It shouldn't have been a hit this time, right? I'm afraid of which princess's crush? ”
"Hahaha, this kind of kid who has no power to tie the chicken has been found to be his stepson, and the Northern Wei Dynasty is also poor in donkey skills......"
Listening to the ridicule of the people around him, the other Northern Wei cultivators all clenched their swords, and the solemn murderous aura made the surrounding temperature drop sharply, and also made the laughter in the crowd subside a little.
Ying Baoyue stared at the young man on horseback who had become the target of everyone, but found that his expression was much calmer than that of the men around him, as if he had long been accustomed to this kind of ridicule. And the Northern Wei people around him who had always been grumpy in her impression did not draw their swords, but just peeked at the young man in anger, with grievances and ...... in his eyes Humiliation?
Ying Baoyue looked at the young man's thin body and delicate appearance, and a strange feeling suddenly floated in her heart.
This person......
"This man is ......"
However, at this moment, Ji Jiashu in the carriage stared at the young man and suddenly spoke in amazement, "Meng Shi? ”
"Meng Shi?" Without waiting for Ying Baoyue's reaction, Chen Zichu in the carriage suddenly jumped up from the window as if he was burned, and glared at the young man outside the window, "He is Meng Shi?" ”
"Is that him?"
"That's Meng Shi?"
Chen Zichu asked three questions in a row, which made the other people in the carriage suddenly lift their spirits.
"Who is Meng Shi?" Ying Baoyue looked at Chen Zichu, who had gone from the original disdain to the sudden appearance of a great enemy, and asked.
Xu Yishan beside him also clenched the water sword, which was enough to show that this person was special.
"It's a student who once studied at the Jixia Academy," Ji Jiashu explained, and then suddenly realized, "It turns out that he is really from the Northern Wei Dynasty." ”
"He's only been in the Jixia Academy Palace for two years, so you haven't seen him," Ji Jiashu said as he looked at Chen Zichu, who had only entered the Jixia Academy Palace after him, "But it seems that you've heard about him too." ”
That's right, Chen Zichu took a slight breath.
The young powerhouse who was short-lived in the Jixia School Palace, even after leaving, there were still legends about him in the School Palace.
Legend has it that Meng Shi learned the swordsmanship of one of the four schools in just two years after entering the Academy, and defeated his predecessors who practiced a few years earlier than him, leaving his name forever in the Jixia Academy.
This is Mengshi.
However, Chen Zichu never thought that Meng Shi was from the Northern Wei Dynasty, but now that he saw this person's appearance, Chen Zichu immediately understood what was going on.
Jixia Gakumiya accepted young cultivators from all over the world, but after the death of the Great Priest, the largest number of places belonged to Nanchu. The threshold for people from other countries to enter is extremely high, and once someone enters, they are often reluctant to leave for many years, even if they participate in the primary ceremony, they will participate directly in Nanchu.
And this young man only stayed for two years before leaving, coupled with his delicate appearance, even if Chen Zichu claims to be from the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is estimated that few people believe it.
"It's just that I remember that Meng Shi is ......"
Chen Zichu looked at the young man in the distance and spoke hesitantly, but at this time, there was a commotion outside the Northern Wei convoy that was about to enter the city.
The Northern Wei people, who had always been irritable, did not draw their swords in the face of ridicule, which made the onlookers from other countries embolden, as if they expected that this year's Northern Wei people were turtles with shrunken heads, and other practitioners who had been suppressed in previous years actually stretched out their hands to the carriage behind the Northern Wei convoy.
Someone approached and lifted the curtain of the car, and a girl's scream came from inside.
"Women?"
"The people of the Northern Wei Dynasty actually brought women?"
"Sure enough, that little white face was taken a fancy to by which princess lady......"
"Brother!" With this scream, Ying Baoyue looked into the distance and her pupils shrank.
At the moment when the curtain of the car was lifted, the thin young man in front of the huge city gate suddenly turned around!
And the next moment, a bright sword light bloomed from his waist, and it was accompanied by that sword light.
And the raging flames.
