Chapter 415: The title of the gold list
After seeing these soldiers and horses, Zhao Yulong understood what it meant to be a thousand troops. But he was in no mood to rejoice at his discovery, because the cavalry was about to kill.
"How can there be so many soldiers and horses? It's like they came out of thin air. Wait! Out of thin air! No wonder the soul power in my body is like this!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Yulong had an epiphany, but now he didn't care about the soldiers and horses who were killing him, but he just closed his eyes while fighting in place, still neighing from the war horse beside him, but his heart was surprisingly quiet.
It is strange to say that the cavalry that was still menacing before disappeared shortly after Zhao Yulong closed his eyes, and the world returned to a state of emptiness again.
After Zhao Yulong opened his eyes again, the surroundings had changed, and the four people were appearing in front of Zhao Yulong at this time. When they found out that Zhao Yulong could see them, they were also amazed: "How could you?"
Zhao Yulong: "The illusions of the four are indeed superb, making it difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake, but the younger generations are not talented enough to have some illusions, although they are not so good as illusions, but they can also roughly see that you are performing illusions." ”
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone: "The move we cast is indeed an illusion, originally this should be our last ability, but seeing that you can reach such a state at a young age, presumably your strength must be extraordinary, so we used this last move." But I don't want you to know how to use illusions, and you're really smart and all of them are mistaken by being smart!"
Zhao Yulong: "It can only be said that it is my luck, if it is other moves, I must not be able to pass this level." But since the four of you have other moves, you might as well fight!"
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone: "No need! We have been without an owner for a thousand years, and although the soul power of the old master is still on top of this weapon, it is no longer much." An attack with such soul power can't hurt you, and besides, we don't need to do it for you!"
Zhao Yulong: "In this way, doesn't it mean that the four seniors have recognized the juniors?"
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone: "Sort of! This illusion attack is supposed to test whether your will is firm, if you are reckless and soft, you are not qualified to pick up the four treasures of the study." And you didn't panic in the face of our attack, you are indeed a talent, we recognize you!"
Zhao Yulong: "In this way, thank you to the four!"
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone: "Don't thank us, we just follow the rules!"
"That's right!" said the four of them with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and each took out a thing, which was the weapon they deposited: "This is the weapon we deposited, it was originally forged but did not have a name, and later it was obtained by a scholar, because it is obsessed with fame, so it is called the title of the gold list!"
As a result, Zhao Yulong took a closer look at the four weapons, but found that their styles were ordinary and there was nothing special about them. However, it is such an ordinary thing, but it brings Zhao Yulong a very powerful power impact.
"The title of the gold list is a good name, presumably their forger must be a genius! Using such a treasure to disguise it in the appearance of the most ordinary four treasures of the study, it can avoid the eyes of others, not only keep the treasure, but also paralyze the opponent during the battle, it is indeed smart!"
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone: "Perhaps, but we don't know when this weapon was forged, after all, we are not the first generation of machine spirits, so we don't know what happened at the beginning." Of course, we won't be the last generation of machine spirits, so we don't know what they will encounter in the future. ”
Zhao Yulong: "You are not the last generation?"
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone: "Don't worry about this for now! You better pass the last test quickly! This is a test that comes from the weapon itself, and only those who pass the test are qualified to pick it up." It's important to remember that this test is important because there have been many people who have been as smart as you have lost in the past. ”
Zhao Yulong: "I understand, I'll be careful, but I'd like to know what this test is?
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, after all, this test is not a secret." All you have to do is inject your spiritual power into the title of the gold list, and then you'll see some images, and some text, and all you have to do is write them down. Because they are not only part of the test, but also part of the skill. At the end of the day, the title will determine whether you can become his master based on the words you remember. ”
Zhao Yulong: "I see, it's actually a memorization of words, no wonder it's called the title of the gold list." So can I start?"
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone: "Naturally, you can, but there is only one opportunity, you have to cherish it." The opportunity I'm talking about here is not only an opportunity to be assessed, but also a chance for you to learn this weapon and combat technique only once! How much you can write down this time, how many combat skills you can use in the future, understand?"
Zhao Yulong: "Thank you for reminding me, I understand!"
After recovering a little spiritual power, Zhao Yulong injected all that spiritual power into the title of this gold list. I don't know how much time has passed, but I can see the scenery around me change again.
Obviously, this is entering the illusion of this weapon, but the scenery seen in front of him is different from what Zhao Yulong expected, there is no appearance of words, but the history of this pen from its birth to its own discovery has been fully interpreted.
Zhao Yulong vaguely saw that in a small shop, a casting master handed over these four things to a literati: "The Xuanlin army has captured the vast expanse yesterday, and it is estimated that it will be killed here in another year." War is inevitable after all, and we can barely make a living by striking iron, but we pity these people, if the enemy comes, what will happen to them?"
Scholar: "Yes! The Xuanlin army is extremely brutal, leaving no grass everywhere it goes, and once the people are killed, it will be bitter! But I am just a literati, and I can't even hold a knife or gun, how can I change this troubled world." I really regret that I am such an unassuming scholar in this life! I can't do anything in the face of a national crisis!"
Forger: "Why did Mr. Tuojiang say this? If it weren't for Mr. Tuojiang's articles that have inspired the soldiers of the whole country over the years, who would have been able to persist until now?"
Scholar: "But so what? I'm just a waste who can only hide in the rear and write articles! I hate that I can't hold a sword in this life, and I can't go to the battlefield, and I really deserve the name given by my father to Tuojiang! If I can go to the battlefield with a weapon one day, then even if I die, I will not have the slightest regret!"
Forger: "Sir's declaration of righteousness is beyond our reach. It's just that sir, you asked me to wait to build such a device, which really makes me wait a little bit unclear. Ordinary ink utensils can be used for a long time with only a few materials, but sir, you have exhausted your life savings to collect the treasures of heaven and earth to make these four treasures, and yet let me wait for him to make his appearance simple?"
Hu Tuojiang: "It's nothing, I just want to contribute to my country for the last time!"
The forger was shocked when he heard this: "Mr. Fei, you want it!"
Although I can't hold a sword, I can also afford to hold this pen and paper, if I can dedicate my last bit of strength to the country, I will die without regrets!"
Forger: "It's just that the Xuanlin Palace's palace is heavily guarded, and ordinary people can't enter it at all, let alone bring weapons in." There have been many assassins who have been assassinated, but none of them have survived, so wouldn't it be ...... for you to go?"
Hu Tuojiang interrupted the other party's words: "Then what's the matter? If the country is ruined, why should I keep this life to continue to survive in this world? If I can exchange my life's life for the peace of this country, it will be worth my death!"
Forger: "But how did the gentleman enter the Xuanlin Palace?"
Hu Tuojiang: "What's so difficult about this, King Xuanlin will meet with some literati every month. As long as I can change my identity and pass the imperial examination to get a champion, then I can enter the Xuanlin King Palace and kill the Xuanlin King!"
Forger: "Mr. is righteous and awe-inspiring, we really admire it! In that case, then this weapon might as well be called the title of the gold list?"
Hu Tuojiang: "The title of the gold list? This is a good name! That's how it is called, when I am named on the gold list, I will definitely take the life of the king of Xuanlin, and exchange it for a hundred years of peace for this world!"
With that, the literati walked out of the small shop. No one knows where he's going, and no one knows how long he's going. It's just that Zhao Yulong saw the perseverance in his eyes, and the empire standing behind him!
At this moment, the scene in front of him suddenly disappeared and returned to darkness. Then the latter poem appeared in front of Zhao Yulong's eyes: "Ten years of war and chaos and thousands of troops died, and Xuanlin suppressed the city and the country and could not survive." Now I have a cheap life to stay for a long time, and I am willing to win the king's heart with Danqing. ”
After silently memorizing those few lines of poetry, Zhao Yulong weighed it in his heart: "This should not be the composition of combat skills, but this kind of heroism is also rare in heaven and earth." It's no wonder that the four machine spirits told me that it takes a lot of courage to use him, and Fang Cai's poems are probably where the heart method lies!"
After memorizing the poems, a picture appeared in front of Zhao Yulong's eyes. This is the situation when the literati went to the Xuanlin Palace after the imperial examination.
The construction style of this Xuanlin Palace is very different from the current palace, and it is obvious that this should be the ancient period. At that time, there was no emperor, and the greatest power could only call itself king. And that King Xuanlin was the strongest in this period.
But regardless of the architectural style, the palace will always have a majesty that I don't know how to put into words. And the more the ruler grows, the more powerful the majesty will become.
Now, even when the scene is repeated thousands of years later, Zhao Yulong can feel the deep suppressive momentum, not to mention the power he felt in the Xuanlin Palace.
But this scholar's steps are now steady, and he has not stumbled at all. looked calm and unhurried, but Zhao Yulong couldn't help but admire his courage.
Now that he had walked into the Xuanlin Palace, with his gaze, Zhao Yulong saw the majestic Xuanlin King.
At this time, he was hugging the beauty and laughing, and only after seeing the fox Tuojiang walk in did he restrain his movements: "You are the champion?"
Fox Tuojiang: "Yes, the king, it is below." ”
After hearing this, King Xuanlin let go of the beauties around him, walked over and looked at Hu Tuojiang with those murderous eyes: "Well, there are some scholarly breaths, but I don't think you are the champion!"
After hearing this, Hu Tuojiang's eyes were a little fluttering, but he quickly calmed down: "Then what does the king think I look like?"
When King Xuanlin heard this, his eyes were first fierce, and then he laughed again: "I look at you! You look at your face, how many girls must like it? I don't know which person in charge of the imperial examination actually gave you a champion? What is the use of a champion? Or is it a good-looking tanhua to please a woman! Haha! Do you say it?"
Hu Tuojiang: "Yes, yes! What the king said! But why did the king invite me here today?"
King Xuanlin said and walked back to the throne and sat down: "It's very simple for me to recruit you today, I just want you to give me a piece of calligraphy and painting for my beautiful concubine, you may be able to do it?"
Fox Tuojiang: "It is naturally an honor for me to be able to do things for the king!"
As he spoke, Fox Tuojiang took out the title of the gold list from the ring, and injected the soul power into the inkstone to turn it into a part of the ink.
But the ink has been grinding for a long time, but he has not started to write. But the Xuanlin King was a little impatient: "How long do you have to grind the ink?" Could it be that the ink in this inkstone and your original ink are not enough to paint a picture?"
Weighing the ink in the inkstone, Hu Tuojiang's courage was much greater at this time: "Painting a picture is enough, but my purpose is not to paint a picture." ”
King Xuanlin: "Then your purpose?"
At the moment when King Xuanlin hesitated, Hu Tuojiang introduced all the ink into the pen, turned the pen into a sharp weapon and stabbed at King Xuanlin: "Take your dog's life!"
But after all, he is just a literati, and no matter how fast the pen is, it can't be faster than the sword. It's just that at the moment when the tip of the pen just touched King Xuanlin's neck, his body had been pierced by several spears and fell to the ground.
After this, Zhao Yulong's eyes were dark again. But this time, there was not a single word, but a figure came out of the darkness.
Soon Zhao Yulong recognized him: "Fox Tuojiang?"
Hu Tuojiang: "It's me and not me, my body is already dead! To be honest, that assassination was the biggest regret of my life, and I don't know what happened next, and I'm afraid to know what happened next. I just want to find a better owner for this gold list title, I don't want to have a useless literati like me in the event anymore!"
Zhao Yulong: "Why should the seniors belittle themselves so much, such as the courage and courage of the seniors, so that the younger generations are really ashamed!"
Hu Tuojiang: "You don't have to praise me, I just want to find someone who really has the courage and can hold the sword and is willing to dedicate himself to the world!
Zhao Yulong: "The younger generation is not talented, and I dare not say whether I can do it." But I'm sure I'll do my best to be the person my predecessors think I am!"
Fox Tuojiang: "Regardless of whether you can do it or not, it doesn't matter anymore, and if you can come here, it means that you have such courage." Over the years, I have also learned some things in the title of this gold list, and since you have come here, it will not hurt to give it to you. So are you ready?"
Zhao Yulong: "I'm ready!
After that, it was dark again in front of him, and he saw a million troops rushing towards him, and what appeared in the sky was the thousands of troops and horses that Zhao Yulong had seen before.
But unlike last time, after Zhao Yulong wrote down the word, those armies disappeared. Then it is transformed into other scenes, with a few words. Every time Zhao Yulong memorized those words, the scene would disappear.
After a few times, Zhao Yulong had an epiphany: "I see, I was asked to remember the names of these moves, but I can still remember so many moves at first, but there are too many words, what should I do?"
Sure enough, as Zhao Yulong thought, every time Zhao Yulong wrote it down, something new appeared. It was okay at first, but when it came to the later words, Zhao Yulong couldn't remember it, after all, he couldn't forget the previous words.
But the scene in front of him seemed to be endless, and whenever Zhao Yulong remembered it, he didn't give him time to rest for half a break, so he changed it. With so many scenes and words, Zhao Yulong felt desperate: "It's not a way to go on like this! My mind is not a book, and it is impossible to write them all down." If he had included all the words in all the books here, wouldn't I have to memorize them for the rest of my life?"
But soon, Zhao Yulong woke up again: "Wait! All the books? I understand!"
It was in his heart that he had thoughts, but he didn't want the scene in front of him to disappear, and what appeared in front of Zhao Yulong's eyes was the fox Tuojiang: "Congratulations on passing my test, and now you are qualified to use this gold list title to let him fight for you, but I am curious, many people have relied on memorizing all the words to understand it over the years." Why did you see it so quickly?"
Zhao Yulong: "Because although there are many of these moves, they all have one thing in common, which is composed of words, and those words are not unique words, but words that can be seen in books. Therefore, I can conclude that it is not the words that change the appearance of these moves, but the combat skills that drive the words, so I believe that there is only one combat skill!"
Hu Tuojiang: "Clever! There is indeed only one combat skill, all the patterns are made of the paper you write, but there is only one way to put the pen down." Now that you have attained enlightenment, I will teach you how to do it!"
A few hours later, Zhao Yulong woke up, and now that he had recovered his spiritual power, he had already recovered his state, and at the same time understood the use of the title of this gold list.
He looked at the four people who were waiting on the side: "How is it? Can the four of you leave this mountain with me now?"
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone: "Can't!"
Zhao Yulong: "Why? Didn't I pass all the tests?"
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone: "Yes, you have passed the test, so the title of the gold list will be your weapon from now on." But we can't follow you, it's the rule that a machine spirit can only follow one master in his life, and our master has long since died in battle. We have remained in this world all these years because this weapon has no owner, but now that you have become its master, our lives have come to an end!"
The words had fallen, and the four machine spirits turned into a trace of light smoke and dissipated in the air, nowhere to be found.
