In the cold winter of 789 in the ephemeris, the stars fell on the mainland, and the stele forest was in Baima Town, the northwest border of the West Wind Country.

The fall of the heavenly court, turned into thousands of steles, scattered all over the Starfall Continent, with several or dozens of huge stone steles as a gathering, forming the so-called stele forest; although the stele forest is the dry grave of the steles, but the surrounding soil is very fertile, many villages and towns are built with these stele forests as the center. The largest stele forest is said to have hundreds of giant stone steles, which are the capitals of all countries in the Starfall Continent. And in the Star Monarch Temple, it is said that there are even thousands of giant stone tablets that have been collected!

There are ancient inscriptions on these gray and white stone tablets, and every stroke is a ghostly workmanship, containing the way of heaven and earth.

Every time the stars fall, there are gods who fall into the mortal world, and there will be Wenqu stars and Wuqu stars who wake up. And those who cultivate the inscription and master the power of the stars are respected by the world as the star monarch.

About twenty miles south of White Horse Town, there is a forest of steles, dozens of huge stone tablets are crooked and uneven, the low huge stone tablets are about higher than the roofs of the common people, and the largest one stands out from the crowd against the background of the surrounding companions. There is a creeper on the sunny side of the monument, climbing upwards along the traces of the inscription, the current season has naturally become dry and has lost all its leaves; a few dead grasses that have stubbornly emerged on the snow have exhausted the strength they have accumulated so hard, and lie there softly, only to wait for the spring of next year to be high-spirited. Creepers and withered grass can be regarded as embellishing a different tone for the gray-and-white world of the stele forest.

Under the moonlit night, the cold wind swept through the stele forest, making a sound like a ghost crying wolf.

The snowflakes rushed into the stele forest by the wind, rampage, helpless and weak, and when the wind weakened, they fell to a clearing in the middle of the stele forest.

Ho-ha!

A young man dressed in black, yellow, vertical brown is practicing boxing in the snow, and a large snowflake is brought up by the fist wind, legs and feet, and whirls like a dance.

The young man came down with a set of long fists, his posture was stretched and generous, his movements were flexible and fast, his shots were long, fast and slow, and his movements were fast and calm. Obviously, there is already a certain amount of skill.

When the palm finally closed and brightened, a very thin layer of fluorescent light flashed in the palm of the palm, as if the lamp had run out of oil and the lamp had dried up after a few flashes and then disappeared.

By this time, the snow had stopped, and the sky was gray, but it was impossible to tell what time it was.

The boy reached out and rubbed his short black hair twice, removing the few snowflakes that had just fallen, and then unfolded the folded whiteboard sheepskin jacket and put it on, as if he had become accustomed to this bone-chilling cold.

Crunch!

The sound of stepping on the snow came from far and near, and the comer soon appeared in front of the young man, a middle-aged man with a beard in armor.

"Come on!" the bearded middle-aged man finished speaking, and motioned for the young man to stretch out his palm.

The palms of the two were closed, and the bearded middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Wu Xing, you have practiced martial arts for ten years, practiced Sanfu in summer, and practiced Sanjiu in winter, and it is not in vain that you have suffered so much, and now your physique has reached the requirements of carrying star power." ”

"Uncle Zheng, really, great!" The young man's eyes were not big, but his black eyes were very clear and bright, and he smiled with two slightly childish tiger teeth on the left and right. Wu Xing is naturally the name of the teenager.

"I have inquired with the priest of the county, and there will be stars falling within this year....... "The bearded middle-aged man just said a switch, and he and Wu Xing turned their heads to look at the sky.

At this time, the originally gray sky suddenly lit up like dawn, and more than a dozen meteors of different sizes streaked across the sky, with brilliant traces of light and long black smoke, flying lower and lower.

"Okay, since there is a starfall, the county should arrange a trial soon, and it is estimated that it will only be ten days before and after the county is here. You take this part of the road with you, and you will set off in the next two days, and you can go directly. You are fifteen years old this year, and you have already met the requirements for conscription. The bearded middle-aged man handed Wu Xing a piece of paper stamped with official and private seals.

Wu Xing unfolded the paper and glanced at it, there was a painting signed "Qian Nanzheng" next to the private seal, so he carefully folded it and put it away, and then asked: "Uncle Zheng, didn't you agree to accompany me to the trial? At least send it to the bottom of the platform? You are my only relative." ”

Here, Qian Nanzheng is naturally the name of this "Uncle Zheng".

"Is the only relative...... Qian Nanzheng shook his head with a complicated expression, stretched out his hand and wanted to pat Wu Xing's head, looked at the young man who was only half a head shorter than himself, and then patted his shoulder instead, and said: "The technique of the long fist must be 'fist like a meteor', it must be fast, agile and powerful...... This is true not only in fist and arm swings, but also in the subtle movements of the palms and wrists...... In order to achieve the requirements of 'fist like a meteor', it is necessary to loosen the shoulders and elbows, so that the shoulders, elbows, wrists and other joints strive to be loose and smooth during the exercise, and the momentum of speed and speed can catch people's ......"

After a simple finger tapped twice, Qian Nanzheng continued: "There is an enemy situation on the border again, I have to take someone to investigate, after all, the New Year is approaching, and Baima Town is an important transit point in Longxi County. You can complete the trial with peace of mind, and when I return, I will arrange for your enlistment. ”

"Uncle Zheng, you are only the official in charge of the local security now, only the nine-rank inspection, and you are no longer a guerrilla general of Lao Shizi, do you still have to bother you with such military affairs?" The young man frowned and said, "Could it be that your dignified seven-rank martial arts qu Xingjun can't suppress that seven-rank magistrate?"

"Hehe! Even in the face of the Qipin Wenqu Xingjun, I, Qian someone, don't take the other party in my eyes, let alone what little magistrate?!" Qian Nanzheng laughed and then said: "It's just that the post of this guerrilla general has been 'vacant', and no officer will come to join the army without issuing an order; What can I do?"

"It has only been two or three years since the new king ascended the throne, and it always takes some time to change the law and innovate. Uncle Zheng, didn't you also comment that the new king is a virtuous king, who works hard to make the country prosperous, and can expect a great cause?" Wu Xing comforted Qian Nanzheng instead, looking like a little adult.

Qian Nanzheng pointed at Wu Xing with his finger, scolded with a smile, and then took out a delicate animal skin money bag and threw it to Wu Xing, saying, "There are a few taels of broken silver in here, and a star stone." ”

Burst!

It was just a fist-sized animal skin money bag smashed into his hand with a soft sound, and it seemed that the weight of the "star stone" except for the broken silver was extremely heavy.

"Xingshi, no, it's too precious!" Wu Xing was stunned, shook his head, and wanted to hand back the animal skin money bag, but was stopped by Qian Nanzheng with a look.

"Trial students don't have to spend money, and the Star Temple will cover the expenses used within that month. Those few taels of silver are for you to take for backup, just like the so-called poor family's rich road, if there is a need to spend. And that piece of star stone is used for self-defense, if someone has bad intentions during the trial, after learning that you have a star stone, you will naturally weigh the consequences of offending the star monarch. Qian Nanzheng admonished.

Wu Xing hesitated for a moment, but still answered, and tied the animal skin money bag to his belt.

"Hammer!" Qian Nanzheng snorted lightly, and the palm of his right hand was lifted upward, and an earthy yellow short-handled iron hammer appeared, and it was suspended in front of Qian Nanzheng. The hammer handle is the thickness of an ordinary person's wrist and is engraved with delicate ornamentation; the hammer body is square and angular, with more complex engraved ornaments on it, and the shape is like a rectangular jade pillow used by the rich and noble; one side of the hammer head is square, and the other side of the hammer head is spherical, all showing rust-like mottled light green blocks.

"The star hammer is green!Uncle Zheng's cultivation is improving, and the promotion to the sixth-grade martial arts Xingjun is probably just around the corner!" Wu Xing stretched out his hand and tried to rub it on the hammer, but his palm felt empty as if it had passed through a mirage.

"I want to touch it every time, and I don't have a long memory!" Qian Nanzheng scolded with a smile and said, "Liupin Wuqu Xingjun?"

"Armor!"

Qian Nanzheng snorted softly again, spread out his hands, and held the star hammer inward.

The earthy yellow star hammer shattered into hundreds of pieces of different sizes, and went to the left and right hands, chest and back, feet, head, and so on. A circular fluorescent circle was poured from head to toe, and Qian Nanzheng's previous armor disappeared without a trace, turning into a set of semi-armor: a pair of combat boots on his feet, fist gloves and arm guards on his hands, a cuirass, and a half-hooded helmet on the top of his head. This set of semi-armor is basically red, orange, and yellow, and the style is excellent.

Qian Nanzheng stretched out his hand and tapped it on the boulder tablet on the side, and his fist was gaining momentum, and he suddenly became inch-strong.

Rumble!

There was a loud thunderclap on a sunny day.

The snow poured down from the top of the boulder, as if it had snowed again. The nearby megaliths were affected by it, and a lot of snow also slipped down.

Buzz Buzz!

This huge stone tablet trembled because of the power of Qian Nanzheng's punch, and it was not until the "snow" stopped that it slowly stopped and stopped.

"These giant stone tablets have fallen from the Heavenly Court to this point, and they are only missing some corners. Now I punched it and left a big crack on it. Qian Nanzheng took off the half armor, restored the previous armor, pointed to the cracks on the giant stone tablet, and continued: "This kind of power, I believe you can have it soon, after all, you are quite talented, far beyond me." But there is one thing you have to keep in mind......."

Qian Nanzheng stopped and looked at Wu Xing quietly, obviously the latter knew what the second half of the sentence was.

“....... Wait until you have enough strength to do chivalrous deeds, hoe the strong and help the weak....... This is originally a world where the strong are respected!" Wu Xing added the second half of Qian Nanzheng's sentence.

"Very good!" Qian Nanzheng pinched his fingers and made a loud whistle, a tall black horse flew over with four hooves, Yang Xue rushed in, and the person immediately neighed, and went straight to Wu Xing's side, and arched the huge horse head into Wu Xing's arms. Looking at the joy, it is obvious that he is extremely familiar with Wu Xing.

Qian Nanzheng pressed lightly on the saddle with one hand, turned over and got on the horse, and signaled to Wu Xing's head: "Don't leave it here! I will try to rush back for the New Year, and I will celebrate your achievements at that time!"

"Then borrow Uncle Zheng's auspicious words!" the young man smiled, waved goodbye, and said: "Calculate the time, if I complete the trial, it should be almost a small year, and the time is just right!"

When he walked out of the Forest of Steles, Wu Xing could also see the figure of the horse team led by Qian Nanzheng, rumbling away from the post road, all of which were configured with one person and two horses, a war horse and a pack horse.

There was a sudden sound of a horse snorting beside him, Wu Xing turned his head to look behind him, and sure enough, he found a pack horse, with a burden hanging on the saddle, and opened it slightly to inspect it, and sure enough, it was a few sets of winter clothes, sweat clothes, calf nose pants that he often wore on weekdays, and some simple toiletries.

Wu Xing comfortably calmed the somewhat restless pack horse, then scratched his head, walked to the side of the horse's buttocks, turned over the hair, and through the dim light, he saw a square black branded horse print: "White Horse Baggage Camp".

"Wu Quxing woke up and went straight to the ninth grade...... Before he joined the army, he began to enjoy the treatment of an officer....... Wu Xing muttered with a smile: "Eh! No matter! Anyway, I, the main uncle, lead the guerrilla post on behalf of the battalion, and the deployment of military funds in the battalion is really within the scope of authority, at most I will make up a document afterwards." Besides, the mountain is high and the sky is far away, and it's not the first time that Uncle Zheng has done this, otherwise how could the dignified Seventh-Rank Star Monarch be demoted to the Nine-Rank Petty Official who patrols White Horse Town......"
