Chapter 14: The Hall Master

As soon as the morning dawned, Hu Zheng woke up on time.

Although he didn't have an alarm clock to call the bed, the biological clock he had cultivated over the years was as accurate as the alarm clock, not to mention that he had been in a state of high spirits for the past few days, because an archmage had fallen from the sky to find him, and his dream of going to the outer world would soon become a reality.

Although after arriving in the New World, Prince Lao Ba ordered the collection of swords and sealed them in the warehouse, but because his ancestor of the Hu family was the most famous swordsman in Ba back then, King Lao Ba made an exception and allowed him to leave a sword made by the ancestor of the Hu family.

His Hu family has been living an ordinary life in the new world for thirteen generations, but in the fourteenth generation, there was a mutant Hu Zheng, because he was active since he was a child, and he was obsessed with the martial arts classics left by his ancestors. Because of his special hobbies and arrogance and frequent outrageous words, Hu Zheng was not only regarded as an outlier by his neighbors and classmates as a teenager, but also became famous in Hair City and even the entire New World, but this kind of fame was not a good thing for Hu Zheng.

But Hu Zheng ignored the criticism of others and insisted on his dream of being a samurai. He not only practiced martial arts diligently every day, but also studied hard, and graduated with the top three grades at King's College, the highest institution in Har City, which cultivates the elite of Pakistan. However, according to the employment system formulated by the Ba Wangfu, the graduation results are as important as the public evaluation, and the final result of the public evaluation must be announced by the Ba Wangfu.

Unfortunately, Hu Zheng's graduation score of "10" and his public evaluation of "negative 10" offset each other, and the total score was zero. It is far from reaching the bottom line of the employment standard of Ba Wangfu "five points", so after graduating from the highest school, Hu Zheng can only go to the mountains and go to the countryside to do farm work, while fantasizing that he will be a samurai in another world, commanding the world.

Hu Zheng rolled over and got out of bed, he opened the window and saw that the courtyard was covered with white mist.

This mansion was originally a manor of Shunyan, the only younger brother of King Ba today, because it is located in a remote area and has had more than one haunting and terrorist incident, so over the years this manor has become a hot potato in the hands of Prince Shun, who wants to shake off but no one has been willing to take it. But one day five years ago, Hu Zheng found Prince Shun and said that he was willing to buy his ghost house as long as the price was reasonable, but with one condition: Ba Wangfu allowed him to open a martial arts hall here to recruit apprentices to practice martial arts and fitness.

Prince Shun was immediately tempted, historical experience shows that this kind of ghost place is only Hu Zheng, a bold and arrogant person like Hu Zheng, dares to live, as for opening a martial arts hall to recruit apprentices in the society, Prince Shun thought that no one would be willing to spend money to learn this kind of martial arts with Hu Zheng that is useless in the new world. So Prince Shun quickly reached an agreement with Hu Zheng, and then persuaded his brother Enzhu to issue a business license to Wuyitang.

Surprisingly, a few days after Hu Zheng's notice of recruiting apprentices was posted on Queen's Street, a street thug was willing to pay 200 yuan for wine and meat to sign up.

In the second life, soon there was a second good guy who signed up, and then the things that worried the Ba Wang family happened one after another, and Hu Zheng actually recruited a total of 21 apprentices in three months.

If it is not stopped quickly, the good situation of stability and unity that this paradise world has maintained for nearly 500 years will be ruined.

King Shun and King Ba were restless about this, and all the elites of the Pakistani country around them were also afraid. However, if the Ba Wangfu ordered the closure of the martial arts hall for no reason, the people complained that the Ba Wangfu was changing the order of the day, and privately said that it was the prince Shun who sold the haunted property to Hu Zhengcai to let him open the martial arts hall, and after the haunted house got out, he turned his face and refused to admit it, which will make Hu Zheng win the sympathy of the people and make the Ba Wangfu humiliated.

And for things that lose the hearts of the people, the kings of Ba in the past will never do it.

After three months of suffering in anxiety, Ba Wangfu finally waited for a god-given opportunity.

It was a festival, and the night in Hal was full of wine and meat, and every tavern was crowded with people. In a tavern, because of a few quarrels, one drinker picked up the flask on the table and smashed it at the other drinker at the adjacent table.

Unfortunately, the drunkard who smashed people with a wine jug did not know that the person who temporarily forgot what he was going to teach because he was drunk was the apprentice of Master Hutang. This Hu Zheng's apprentice also drank too much at that time and also forgot that he was the apprentice of the hall master, and he didn't remember the hall master's repeated emphasis on the teaching of "don't use martial arts to fight", but he kept in mind the two boxing techniques of the hall master.

He first smashed the flask flying in front of him with a single punch, and then hit the stunned opponent's shiny mouth with a punch, and with a ghost crying wolf, a few bloody teeth spit out from a bloody mouth, and the scene was shocking and breathtaking.

Coincidentally, several of Prince Shun's security guards were also drinking in the same tavern at the time, and the little leader among them recognized at a glance that the master who performed such wonderful kung fu was a master of the Hu Tang Master. Moreover, the little boss is usually very politically minded, and he was still very conscious when he sat down to drink that night, and immediately realized that Prince Shun must be very interested in the brave performance of the apprentice of the master of the hall, so he immediately ordered his accomplices to quickly protect the scene of the accident, especially the teeth and blood stains all over the ground should be intact, and the entrance and exit of the tavern were immediately blocked, and it was better to put in a thousand than to slip away a person.

He himself rushed into the palace of the king of Ba at the speed of a 100-meter race, and reported the incident of Hu Zheng's apprentice using superhuman martial arts to beat and cripple the ordinary people to the king of Ba who was watching the song and dance together in the banquet hall and all the elites of the country of Pakistan.

As a result, the fight quickly became the number one news story of the night in Howl.

The next day, just after dawn, the Ba Wangfu put up a notice on Queen's Street, in which the calligrapher of the Ba Wangfu vividly described in beautiful words how the master of Hu Tang smashed a sturdy clay wine jug into the ground with a lightning strike, and the whole process of an unarmed wine customer being smashed to pieces with his teeth full of teeth.

The notice made an incisive conclusion about the cause of this vicious wounding incident: it was all caused by the martial arts hall! In order to protect the people in this heavenly kingdom from harm, the Ba Wangfu had to immediately revoke the business license of the Hu Tang Master, confiscate his illegal gains, and permanently close the Wuyi Hall.

Hu Zheng finished washing and making a pot of tea, and wanted to invite the archmage master and apprentice to drink together, but when he walked outside the door of the guest room and heard the snoring sound inside, he turned around and sat alone in the empty living room to raise a glass and drink alone.

Although he paid the price of killing and wounding more than a dozen apprentices, defeated the security team of Prince Shun and captured the palace of King Ba, Hu Zheng did not want to kill King Ba and establish himself as king, because he had enough of staying in this small world of ordinary and boring talks, even if it was not interesting to be a king.

What's more, Hu Zheng knows very well in his heart that the Ba people here are used to being ruled by the Ba Wang family for generations, and it is difficult to change, if he kills the Ba King and establishes himself as the king, it will definitely attract public anger. Because of the Outer Heaven Archmage's divine skills, now the Ba Wangfu is actually under his control, and this is enough.

There was a gentle knock on the door of the living room, and Hu Zheng shouted, "Come in!" ”

A woman in her twenties walked in, and although she had a wounded cloth wrapped around one of her arms, there was no painful expression on her handsome face. Hu Zheng saw her stand up and said in surprise: "Ah Ling, it's so foggy today, why are you here so early?"

Ah Ling sat down on a wooden chair generously and smiled: "I couldn't sleep well last night thinking about what Master said, so it's better to get up early." ”

Hu Zheng took out a porcelain cup from under the coffee table, poured a cup of tea, put it in front of the woman, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have made a decision." ”

Ah Ling took a sip of tea and said with a serious expression: "Yes, I decided to go to the world with my master, although I am still afraid of the Outer Heaven Grand Master and his world, but I believe in the master's vision, not to mention that I don't want to live a mediocre life in this small world." ”

Hu Zheng was overjoyed, "Great, with Ah Ling by his side, Hu's confidence has doubled, the night before the battle, we all saw the magic of the archmage with our own eyes, we have wanted to do for many years but can not implement the action, with the help of the archmage can be easily realized, and it is natural to follow the archmage to the outer world to help him." What's more, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go to the outer world, and even if there is danger, it is worth fighting for. ”

Ah Ling nodded yes, and slowly took a sip of tea and said: "Yesterday, fifty new apprentices were recruited in half a day, and the master said that he would select six young children to go together, I don't know how the master plans to select them today?" ”

Hu Zheng said with a serious expression: "I plan to choose three men and three women for the teacher, so that they will not be lonely in the outer world, and they can be paired to have children in the future." The selection criteria must first be a little basic in swordsmanship, and secondly, good looks. Speaking of this, Hu Zheng smiled at the woman and said, "Wait a while, let them learn a few swordsmanship from the teacher first, you observe carefully, and you are responsible for selecting the three female babies." ”

The hall of the martial arts hall was full of fifty young men and women talking and laughing, although it was already morning, the fog outside the house was still very thick, and the light inside the house was a little dim.

Song Ren sat silently in a corner of the last row, looking a little lonely in the noisy crowd of people in the house, because there were no friends he knew.

Song Ren is a native of the countryside and has been studying in the country academy for only three months. Almost without exception, the other teenagers here lived in the city of Howl, and the students of King's College would not give up their studies to become the apprentices of the Hu Hall Master. The notice of the Ba Wangfu was only posted yesterday morning, and even if the teenagers in the countryside were interested in practicing martial arts, they did not get the information so quickly, let alone have the opportunity to sign up before the quota was full.

Song Ren was secretly surprised in his heart, with just an unusual notice, the fifty places in less than half a day's kung fu were full. On the one hand, this shows that the Ba people trust the seal of the Ba royal palace in the bone marrow, and on the other hand, it shows that there are fewer job opportunities for young people in the city, and they are very eager for the job opportunities of the palace guards and security forces.

There was a loud sound of footsteps at the door, and the auditorium immediately fell silent. After a while, a middle-aged man with a red and black face walked in, with short and thick black hair and a thick black beard at the corner of his mouth. He was wearing a loose martial arts uniform, yellow leather boots, and a golden sword at his waist.

Behind him were five men and women in their twenties, all of whom were old disciples of Hall Master Hu, and each of them had a color on their bodies, indicating that they had just experienced a fierce battle.

Song Ren had met Hu Zheng, the senior of King's College, once, and he almost didn't dare to recognize him when he saw him again today, because the momentum of this Hu Hall Master was not what it used to be.

Hu Zheng stood in front of the guest of honor on the side of the entrance, looking unusually tall and mighty. He swept his sharp gaze at the people sitting in the room, and the chamber was silent, and the new disciples all stared intently at their hall master.

The five old disciples stood on either side of Hu Zheng, and Ah Ling said in a rousing tone: "Junior brothers and sisters, you should have already heard of the name of the hall master. From this day on, you are all disciples of the hall master, and you must listen to the hall master, and now all of you stand and salute the hall master! ”

"Boom...... the teenagers stood up and shouted in unison: "Hello hall master! ”

The hall master on the stage waved his hand and said loudly: "Sit down!" ”

The students sat down in unison, and the room was still silent.

The hall master crossed his hands on his hips and said with a serious expression: "We Ba people originally lived in a blue world, that world is much bigger than our current world, there are many, many countries there, the sky is blue, the sea is blue, and the green grassland is vast and boundless. But why did our ancestors move here? Because there is a powerful country in that world that wants to destroy our country, and with the help of the god Hal, our ancestors fled from that blue world five hundred years ago and came here.

Since then, we Ba people think that we are living in the kingdom of heaven, because there is only one country in this world. Therefore, the Pakistani people have long forgotten about war, and no one practices martial arts and swordsmanship anymore. The swords that our ancestors brought from the blue world and fought thousands of times have been buried in the unknown mountains, and have long since turned to dirt.

But the master of the main hall was born as a samurai, and he is convinced that one day our enemies will find this small world. In the same way, we Ba people can also return to our ancestors' homeland to regain the lost homeland of our Ba people. At that time, only brave samurai could survive, so the master of the main hall practiced martial arts and swords from an early age, and was determined to become an invincible general in the world.

Many ignorant people laugh at the master of the hall for being a fool's dream, but at the turning point of history five hundred years after our ancestors came to this new world, there was a rebellion in the kingdom of heaven, and the initiator was the younger brother of the current king of Ba, Prince Shun, although he was defeated by the master of the hall and his disciples, but from now on this world will not be peaceful. Because the prince of Shun stole the treasure left by the god of Haer to the former king Meng, and fled back to the old world! ”

There was an uproar in the house, and Song Ren was shocked, King Ba has a treasure through the sky? Is what Hu Zheng said true?

With a wave of his hand, the hall master fell silent.

"It is very likely that Prince Shun will take the opportunity to bring back the enemies of our ancestors of the Ba people from the old world, so the master of this hall has summoned you to step up your martial arts training to protect your family and defend the country. As long as you follow the hall master and your senior brothers and sisters to practice martial arts well, it won't be long before you have the ability to defeat any foreign enemy. ”

The hall master raised his voice when he said this, "Now this hall master announces the discipline of the martial arts hall:

First, no one is allowed to leave the compound without the permission of the head of the parishion.

Second, it is forbidden to be lazy in practice, and it is not allowed to be late or leave early, and those who violate discipline will be punished or even kicked out of the martial arts hall. ”

After speaking, the hall master turned around and walked out, but his five old disciples did not follow and leave. Ah Ling stood up to the guest of honor and said loudly: "Please go to the playground to line up now, and the hall will teach you a set of ancestral swordsmanship of the Hu family." ”
