Tianshan, Vulture Palace, martial arts field.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the crowd gathered.

Seeing this, you may wonder how the word "nine o'clock in the morning" appeared here, and in ancient times, it should have been used "the end of the hour". Yes, it should have been said in ancient times, but in the free-spiritedness, a new policy was introduced.

Here we have to mention the issue of the New Deal.

Before Yang Qi broke off her mind and went into retreat, she spent three days discussing with Wu Jianniang, the content of which was the general framework for her future development and some of the things she needed to do during the retreat.

"We are located in the Western Regions, on the border of Tibet, although it is a barren land, but at the same time, it is also a treasure. The Silk Road passed not far away, which controlled the trade between the east and the west, and was far away from the core military regions of the Zhao and Song dynasties and the Mongols. Whether it is the hinterland of the Central Plains or the outer regions of the Western Regions, the traffic to and from Guò is definitely a good place of first class. There are many ethnic groups and small countries here, and there are no fixed numbers of weights and measures. We have to look at the world, and naturally we can't be petty. For the sake of convenience in the future, we should learn how to win politics -- the same track for cars, the same text for books, and the same weights and measures!"

Yang Qi was writing examples on paper at that time, and said firmly: "What we are doing is a groundbreaking thing, a new trend of thought, and a new power, so naturally we must have a new atmosphere." Throw away all stereotyped thinking, so that all those who are willing to follow us can feel a new atmosphere. The future starts here!"

Bang, Yang Qi slapped the pen, and after Jiao Niang looked at it, what she saw was a new number, a unit of time, a unit of weight, and a unit of length - Arabic numerals, hours, minutes, seconds, kilograms, and meters.

Of course, weights and measures need a basic standard, for example, if you don't tell others how long it is one meter, then the unit of meters is meaningless. But it's okay. After reaching the touch of change. The sense of time and space is innumerably sharper. Yang Qi before retreat. Rubbing an iron bar is one meter. Reaching out and grabbing a stone to cushion it, he shook his head, and then clicked off the extra pad, well, this time it did - it was a kilogram.

Of course, it will be uncomfortable at first, but more than a month of running-in is enough for everyone to get used to the new unit.

Well, the reason why Yang Qi did this. It's not because these things are really advanced, and it's not really superior to ancient units of timekeeping and measurement. After all, it's just a weights and measures, so how can it be stipulated and not regulated, that's what it is. The real reason is - she's convenient, she's willing!

However, what Yang Qi said is not unreasonable, if weights and measures are too confusing, it will not be conducive to the development of technology and commerce in the first place. There are no rules, no circle, and no precise scale system is not set for the future. When I say liters, you say gallons, and when I say kilometers, you say miles. This is not a deal.

Maybe it's just a small detail, but that's where civilization comes in. Bit by bit, it comes together. It can be the foundation for prosperity.

Of course, civilization cannot conquer the world - civilization itself may could, but that does not mean that the civilized group of people can survive. In addition to civilization, violence is needed. Therefore, Yang Qi's second big arrangement is about violence.

So, at nine o'clock in the morning, Wu Zhengfeng, Yang Qi, and Mrs. Sanmiao, who followed him every step of the way, went down from the depths of the ethereal peak and white clouds to the main palace of the Vulture Palace. All the way forward, there are palace maids all the way. When the two palace maids pushed open the door to the terrace, what appeared in front of them was a full arena of martial arts.

When Yang Qi and Wu Zhengfeng appeared side by side on the high terrace, everyone below bowed down at the same time, and shouted loudly: "Meet the Venerable Lord, the Young Palace Lord-!"

Hundreds of people shouted in unison, although it was not a mountain and a tsunami, but it was indeed spectacular. The shouts were mixed and echoed and trembled through the valleys, and if they were above the snow line, they could all be avalanches.

"Flat. ”

The voice of Wu Zhengfeng sounded in everyone's ears at the same time without reluctance. Today she was also dressed luxuriously because today was a big day.

"Xie Palace Master-!"

There was another rush of sound, echoing in the sky with the overwhelming majority of women's voices. Hundreds of people slammed to their feet, looking up at the two on the terrace. Mrs. Sanmiao, who was standing in the shadows behind the two of them, also looked slightly moved, and muttered in a low voice: "What a big pomp......"

Not only Mrs. Sanmiao, but even Wu Zhengfeng couldn't help but take a deep breath. Seeing the palace maids and subordinates below gathered together, she really felt a little excited.

"Today is a very important day. I want to say two things today, you may have heard of both of these things, but here I officially announce-" She stabilized her mind, opened her embroidered mouth, and said in four fields: "Young Palace Master Yang Qi has officially cultivated the Eight Desolations and Six Perfections, and from now on he will be the designated successor of my martial arts!

"Congratulations to the young palace master!"

The expressions of the people below were excited, after the battle for the defense of the Vulture Palace, Yang Qi brushed the prestige of the Freedom Sect very high. Now that she has achieved supreme merit, it is like being officially established as a prince. In ancient dynasties, if there was no prince, the ministers would not be at ease. And the appearance of a young and extremely strong heir is a sign of the prosperity of a sect, and her ascension to the throne can be regarded as expected and expected.

"The second thing...... Wu Zhengfeng looked up at Yang Qi: "It's up to you." Then she whispered to Yang Qi: "But today is such an important day, don't mess it up, otherwise you will be famous in history!"

"Don't worry, we are professionals!" Yang Qi first gave Wu Zhengfeng a thumbs up, and then suddenly stepped out and jumped out on the balcony railing. The six-story height drop was fleeting, and Yang Qi crossed a platinum arc in the air, smashing it on the martial arts arena below. When the mountain wind blew, Yang Qi straightened up, and her long white hair fluttered like a big flag.

"Whoever has been notified, assemble!"

Yang Qi gave an order, and in an instant, many people took action. In the sound of swishing, in a short time, in the open space at the front of the martial arts arena, not far in front of Yang Qi, many people gathered into a dense phalanx. Yang Qi glanced at it. No more, no less, just a hundred people. Relative to all the people who gathered on the martial arts arena. A hundred people is not much. But everyone looked at these hundred people with a little envy.

Because, these 100 people are the remaining 100 people after layers of screening.

The hundred people looked at Yang Qi, and Yang Qi also looked at them—ninety-six women, four men. Basically, they are all people who have personally participated in the defense of the Vulture Palace, and their faces are very familiar. There are Xiaolian, Lan Xiang, the palace maid of the Vulture Palace, and the disciples of the Frost Cave - those four men were contributed by the Frost Cave. Even the Frost Cave's Cave Master Ice. Also standing inside, in the middle of the first row.

Now, these hundred people are looking at Yang Qi, quietly waiting for her speech.

Yang Qi opened her mouth, but what she said was somewhat unexpected by everyone: "Everyone, don't be so nervous, do some exercise to relax first." Come, listen to the order, stand still - go!"

Even Wu Zhengfeng on the terrace was a little puzzled, not knowing what she was going to do. But a hundred people still carried out Yang Qi's order. Driven by Yang Qi, he began to step on the spot left and right.

"Good. Relax, coordinate the movement of the whole body, swing your arms and legs, keep up with your breathing, and the expression on your face does not need to be so strict. Yang Qi grinned while demonstrating: "Come, give Ye Le one-oh, Xiaolian's smile is better! Pat your face and pinch your skin, come again - this time it's all good!"

Under Yang Qi's guidance, although everyone didn't know what he meant, their originally relatively nervous mood was also relaxed a lot - and this was exactly what Yang Qi wanted. It's not the first time I've pulled a line, but this time it's different. Although the mallets in Steel Testicle City are strictly speaking scum, their military literacy and psychological literacy are super excellent. In the Pacific world, they are also well-trained and well-trained. Those people are finished soldiers, and it can come in handy if Yang Qi is not used to train too much.

But the orphans and widows in the Vulture Palace are different, they must be gentle, and they must be slowly cultivated from scratch.

Pap, pap, pap, in the sound of standing still, Yang Qi's voice is still clear and audible: "Everyone should know what they are here for, right?"

Everyone replied in unison, "Yes!"

"You know, that's good!" Yang Qi pointed casually: "Tell me, what are you here for?"

"Me?" the girl immediately became nervous, she didn't seem to be the kind of person who was used to talking in front of people, and she was caught off guard by the sudden question. But in Yang Qi's encouraging gaze, he still stumbled and said: "The main young palace master, if you want to integrate the new army, I, we are here to listen to and listen to the order of the young palace master!"

"Integrate the new army?...... It's pretty much the same. Yang Qi continued to swing her arms and stride at the same time: "Then does anyone know why a new organization was established?" She looked at the people who had not gathered: "What about you, does anyone know?"

Hearing this question, everyone looked at each other. Limited by this era, limited by the level of education, limited by knowledge and culture, they really haven't thought about this problem. Everyone just wants to do this very simply and instinctively, and many people still have a sense of obedience to do whatever they want. But when it comes to asking "why", it is almost impossible to say why.

No one has ever asked them "why" because no one has listened to their thoughts.

Yang Qi nodded with an expression of "I already knew it would be like this", and pointed casually: "Come, you, tell me why you went to the Tianshan Mountain?

The girl who was pointed at raised her voice so as not to be suppressed by the footsteps: "I, I was rescued by my sister in the palace after being sold to traffickers by my father and mother!"

Yang Qi raised his hand and pointed at another person: "What about you?"

The girl immediately replied, "I was thrown into the wilderness as soon as I was born, and I was picked up by my sister in the palace!"

"You?"

"I—I'm a child daughter-in-law! I worked in my husband's house since I was a child, I was severely beaten, and I escaped at the age of 10 and was homeless......

"You?"

"I was sent by the villagers to spoil the horse thief, and I stabbed the horse thief's head blind in the rebellion and fled back to the village, but I was tied up again by the villagers and given to the horse thief! ”

Yang Qi clicked casually and asked casually. The footsteps of standing still did not stop, but when a person's deeds were spoken, whether it was the person who said it or the person who listened, his heart became heavy.

Yang Qi pointed at the Frost Cave Master for the last time: "What about you?"

"Subordinate...... I ......" Han Bing hesitated for a moment, struggled for a moment, and finally exhaled with determination: "Okay, I said--I won't hide it from you, I was originally a dusty woman." ”

Everyone's expressions were amazed. The Lord of the Frost Cave is as plain as the flower of the Ice Ridge, the most elegant and dignified, but he has even been a dusty woman!

Wu Zhengfeng sighed lowly, she knew the cold past very well. She also warned the palace maids of the older generation not to tell it and keep a little secret for Han Bing. For decades, no one leaked. But it really took a lot of courage for her to be able to say it herself. It seems that Han Bing is indeed determined to join.

Han Bing's eyes were sad: "My family is poor, and there are five brothers. The five brothers didn't learn or know, and none of them succeeded. I still have three older sisters, but all of them have been bought to large families for money. When I was twelve, my father and mother sold me into the hook bar. I spent 10 years in the tick bar. Because I am thin and beautiful, there are more and more benefactors. I wanted to save money to redeem myself and leave the country, but my parents came every few days to ask for money for my five brothers to squander. The bustard didn't want me to save money for redemption, so he united and grabbed all my savings. And my five brothers are all scum, and one day they called their friends to come to the fence for fun, and they actually came back to ask my friends to stay with me with their money!"

Speaking of this, Han Bing became excited, she clenched her fists, forced herself to face the unbearable past, and said in a trembling voice: "That day, I was so humiliated that I jumped out of the Qinglou after stabbing one person to death, wanting to kill myself for relief. Fell off the riverbank, broke tendons, fell into the river, and rose and fell. I thought that I was going to die this time, who would have thought that God would open his eyes and be rescued by the sister in the palace and connected to the Ethereal Peak. If you have to get rid of the sea of suffering, it will be difficult to repay the deep kindness in this life!"

The story of the ice weighs everyone down. What happened to her is lamentable, but she is not the worst one. Everyone who comes to this ethereal peak has their own story and their own bitterness. Even the four men in the flowers were sad, and it seemed that they were all sad.

There was silence, and even the sound of footsteps was a little sluggish. Yang Qi said with a cold expression: "Okay, I have read so many stories and understood one thing-you are all weak!"

The footsteps were chaotic because everyone was flustered. If modern people were scolded like this, they would have been angry and scolded back, but these people in the Vulture Palace just lowered their heads.

But Yang Qi then said loudly: "But being weak is not a sin, because no one is born strong! It is precisely because of weakness that we yearn for being strong, so we can breed strong, so we can finally become strong!"

Everyone raised their heads again and looked at Yang Qi seriously.

"You're going to do it with me in the future, so I'll teach you the first thing - come, follow my rhythm, and get started!" (To be continued......)
