Chapter 11: Dabi begins
Shen Ling and his grandfather hurriedly greeted the nurse when they heard the call of the nursing courtyard at the door, and the slaves around them also walked out one after another. The two people in the courtyard didn't talk nonsense when they saw Shen Ling coming out: "Tomorrow, the servant Shen Ling needs to wait at the foot of Yangwei Mountain, one of the twenty-eight peaks behind the Li family, before the hour." After speaking, he didn't look back and passed the word to the next household.
The simple neighbors in the yard couldn't help but gather around, but every word you said to me was probably wishing Shen Ling a good result or something. There is only one big man with a slightly unsightly face, and this person is Li Rou's father, Li Gang.
I saw Li Gang walk up to Shen Ling and say apologetically: "Xiao Ling, it's Uncle Li Gang's small strength, he only lent you the Iron Palm martial arts for seven days, you see that Uncle Li Gang will pass on some of his experience in the study of Iron Palm over the years to you tonight." You must seize the opportunity of this martial arts competition, if it weren't for my age, I would have wanted to participate!" Shen Ling said with a smile: "Thank you Uncle Li Gang, I have almost studied this Iron Palm Martial Technique, so I won't trouble you." Rest assured, Xiao Ling will do his best in this competition. ”
Li Gang couldn't say much when he heard Shen Ling say this, so he shouted: "Everyone is gone, let Xiao Ling have a good rest, and let's go and cheer for Xiao Ling together after we are busy tomorrow!" Everyone told Xiao Ling for a long time, and he must pay attention to safety or something. They all dispersed one after another.
Shen Ling looked at the people who had scattered home and was very moved, these servants were not related to him, and they didn't want anything, they just cared about themselves.
This is destined to be a sleepless night, and grandpa did not fall asleep as early as he did tomorrow, lying on the kang and turning around. From time to time, I wanted to instruct Shen Ling. But Shen Ling fell asleep like no one.
In fact, Shen Ling was also forced to be helpless, he knew that he would definitely not be able to cultivate tonight, and he would not be able to prepare for tomorrow's Dabi if he had not yet cultivated his spirit.
Before dawn the next day, Shen Ling got up early, dressed and washed, had breakfast with his grandfather, and walked towards the twenty-eighth peak. These twenty-eight peaks are actually not far from the Li clan, but the distance is too big for the Li clan, and Shen Ling walked for more than an hour to reach the corner of Yangwei Mountain.
As soon as Shen Ling fell, he was touched by the Yangwei Mountain in front of him, and saw the stone steps leading straight to the top of the mountain, and the trees on both sides were overgrown. But it's not that majestic demeanor, but a little handsome. People who can't help but watch it are refreshed.
There were also many figures around Shen Ling, and these people gathered together in twos and threes, and they didn't know what they were whispering.
Shen Ling leaned against a tree and closed his eyes to recuperate, but he happened to hear the conversation between the two not far away. I only heard one person say: "It's really strange, our servant group is at least nearly 3,000 people, but why is there only a hundred people?" The young man on the other side said: "Hehe, you don't know this, I heard others say that these twenty-eight peaks are famous." It is named after the eight veins of the small Zhou Tian, the twelve veins of the Great Zhou Tian and the eight veins of the Qi Jing, a total of 28 veins. And the servant group is exactly more than 2,800 people. One peak competition for every 100 people. ”
Shen Ling couldn't help but feel very interesting when he heard what the two were talking about, and secretly admired the Li family's methods. If these nearly 3,000 people compete one by one, then the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon will be able to compete.
When everyone came, I saw an old man in a red robe, walking three or five steps towards the stone steps. Standing on the stone steps and not speaking, but pressing down slightly with his hands, more than 100 people did not dare to speak anymore, and the old man in the red robe said slowly: "The old man's name is Yang Qiu." He is one of the deacons of the Li family, and this time he is in charge of the screening of your group of little guys, and the selection method is very simple. After a while, one of you hundred people can rush to the top of the mountain and let everyone bow to pass, oh! Oh, by the way, there is only one place to pass this time... ”
Everyone sighed when they heard it, this elimination rate is too high, but they don't dare to say anything. Deacon Yang Qiu looked at the hour and said, "Then let's start." He turned around and went down the steps. ”
Shen Ling looked at the people who climbed to the top of the mountain in a panic, if they didn't have the strength, even if they reached the top of the mountain, it would just make people laugh. After a stick of incense, I saw that someone was gradually approaching the top of the mountain, so I walked slowly to the top of the mountain.
Shen Ling saw people fighting from time to time as he walked, but there was nothing to look at, these servants were basically not martial artists, and even Shen Ling saw two servants even falling to the ground and fighting...
When Shen Ling arrived at the top of the mountain, he saw three people arguing, "I am the strongest, it should be me." "What are you, if we hadn't come up with you, would you have come up yourself?" "These three people seem to have a good personal relationship, but now they are all in a heavy atmosphere for this place. Shen Ling interrupted them embarrassedly and said, "Don't fight, the person who passed this is me." Go down, I don't want to hit anyone. ”
The three of them were full of disdain when they heard Shen Ling say it, and they saw the leader say: "If you don't want to be beaten, go down quickly, do you think the three of us have a chance? ”
Shen Ling waved at them, "Let's go up together." ”
The three of them were also not polite, and rushed towards Shen Ling together. The leader kicked over with disdain, but Shen Ling didn't dodge, and met him with a punch. The other two watched the "big brother" fly out upside down and were stunned for a moment, and the man fell to the ground holding his legs and wailed: "You guys give it to me!"
The other two fought against Shen Ling, but this battle was like an adult beating a child. In the blink of an eye, they were all lying on the ground.
There were still seven or eight people standing at the top of the mountain, but if you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to come forward.
After a while, Deacon Yang Qiu walked up and looked at Shen Ling with satisfaction, originally he was reluctant to come to be in charge of screening, thinking that it was just a group of children fighting, which was not interesting. Although even if he didn't have the exercises and knew how to operate the True Qi, he could reach the first or even the second level of the refining body, Yang Qiu's intuition felt that this little guy was not simple.
Yang Qiu smiled and said to Shen Ling, "Nice little guy, it's over so quickly." What's your name?" Shen Ling hurriedly arrived: "Boy Shen Ling." Met Deacon Yangqiu. ”
Yang Qiu Zhengse said: "This morning, the preliminary screening of the Li family's descendants and collateral lines should be about the same, Shen Ling, you are the first in this peak, and in the afternoon, you will go to the Li family's southwest martial arts field to prepare for the main selection." By the way, you're a good kid, you can find me for anything in the future. ”
After speaking, he patted Shen Ling's left shoulder and left.
When Shen Ling returned home, it was already noon, and his grandfather hurriedly greeted him in the house: "Xiao Ling, how is it?" Xiao Ling wanted to joke with his grandfather, but he was embarrassed to tease his grandfather when he saw his grandfather's nervous expression, "Hehe, it's been a fluke, and it's the afternoon election." After hearing this, the old man fell to the ground with a big stone in his heart, "Okay, okay, come, Xiao Ling, hurry up and eat in the house!" After speaking, he dragged Shen Ling into the house.
After eating, Shen Ling hurried to the martial arts arena. In the martial arts arena, he passed by twice outside the tall wall when he was carrying water. At that time, I heard the sounds of fisting and shouting inside, and I wanted to see what it was like. I was finally able to take a look at it today.
When Shen Ling arrived at the martial arts arena, there were not too many people, looking at the two rows of swords, guns, swords and halberds in the martial arts arena, the earthy yellow stone bricks were neatly paved, and the middle of the stone bricks was a martial arts character several meters large, full of domineering. There are still stands around, and it is estimated that at least more than 10,000 people can sit. The central stand was more than three times higher than the normal stand, and anyone who could watch it must be the pillar of the clan above the elder.
Shen Ling saw that it was still early, so he found a corner and crossed his knees to cultivate. After a cup of tea, the kung fu people came one after another, and today the Li clan allowed all the servants from the family to participate in the competition, which was also the first time that Shen Ling had been in the Li clan for so many years.
Shen Ling saw Deacon Yang Qiu standing in the distance. So I went over and said hello. "I've seen Deacon Yangqiu. Yang Qiu saw that it was Shen Ling, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the first estimate of the other peaks will be all here after a stick of incense, just stand on the left side of the martial arts arena." By the way, this time the twenty-eight peaks counted you, only eight people entered the main election, and the rest of the peaks were all canceled because they couldn't convince the public because they were the first. ”
Shen Ling was taken aback by Yang Qiu's words, and Yang Qiu immediately said: "Do you think that everyone is like you little guy, as a servant, the old man estimates that ordinary side disciples can't beat you, and I don't know how you cultivate." Besides, the fewer people there are, the better, you see, you're in the quarterfinals now!"
Shen Ling thought about it for a while. After all, a servant is a servant, and it is not easy to learn a trick and a half, how can he excel among a hundred young people who are about the same as himself. I'm still very strong, hehe. Shen Ling couldn't help but be narcissistic again...
While Shen Ling and Deacon Yang Qiu were chatting, an old man in a black robe stepped on his toes, stepped into the void in just three or five steps, and stepped from the flat ground to the center of the stands more than ten meters high. As soon as Yang Qiu saw the Great Elder come out, he hurriedly led Shen Ling to stand with the other seven people. Shen Ling looked at the other seven people, there was Sun Hu, but Sun Hu, who was usually arrogant, stood half a step behind a young man. It seems that this young man is much stronger than Sun Hu.
But Deacon Yang Qiu ignored them, his brows furrowed slightly, and he thought to himself, "How can the Great Elder be here?
