Chapter 3 Martial Arts
On this day, all the shops in Jiangning City were lit up, and there were few pedestrians on the road. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The nobles of the famous families got into the carriage and prepared generous gifts, on the one hand, to help the children of the family who participated in the 'martial arts test', and on the other hand, they planned to get acquainted with those disciples and elders with outstanding qualifications.
Jiangning celebrity Zhuo sat on the bench prepared in front of the martial arts academy for a long time, he was one of the few people who were qualified to sit on the bench, and occasionally someone who thought he had a status came to talk to him, Zhuo was also polite for a long time, but his eyes never left his son Zhuo Dongliu.
When Luo Ning came to the Martial Academy, the other disciples had already arrived, and this was their day, each wearing their best clothes.
Only Luo Ning is the same as ever.
In Luo Ning's home, there are three huge burning sacrificial incense candles, and behind the incense candles, there are three hundred and two tablets, and the incense clouds are swirling, soaring into the sky!
......
Yang Ning was wearing a long white dress, her blue and black hair was knotted with a silver hairpin on the top of her head, and the skin exposed from the cuffs was white and flawless.
She was the most dazzling disciple of the Martial Arts Academy at this time, and no one approached her, and Zhuo Dongliu and Mu Yi, who were also geniuses, were still three steps away.
Soon, an imperial army was stationed at the gate of the martial arts.
The army consisted of about thirty men, led by a general who rode a brown horse and was wrapped in black armor.
When the dean and teacher of the martial arts academy saw the general, they immediately stepped forward, exchanged a few words, and shook their fingers at a certain disciple from time to time, which can be regarded as introducing the most outstanding disciples of this martial academy.
"That's the chief officer of this martial arts test, and it is said that the lowest strength is a silver moon-level martial artist!"
Luo Ning listened to the other disciples' discussions and looked curious, the general was extremely young, he should be only about twenty.
The army is to ensure the smooth progress of the Imperial Martial Arts, as it has always been every year, and it is obvious that the army and the Martial Academy have been in contact a few days ago.
Those nobles who thought they had quite a status flashed their eyes when they saw the arrival of the black armor general, and then took out the gifts they had prepared and walked over.
However, before he could get to him, the black-armored general knew what they were going to do with just a casual glance, and he waved his hand to stop all the latter's next moves.
He didn't have to care about anyone present.
"This is the real big man! Wu'er must become such a figure in the future!" Zhuo Bantian Nannan said to himself: "Over the years, I have spent a lot of money to buy all kinds of martial arts for Dongliu, these martial arts may not be worth mentioning for the sect, but they are much stronger than those taught by the martial arts academy. ”
Zhuo covered his sleeve for a long time, and he also had a gift box in his sleeve.
"The young master will definitely live up to expectations!" said the mottled old man respectfully.
The fine sand in the hourglass slowly flowed down, and all the fine sand fell to the ground, and the black armor general immediately stepped up:
"I, Xiang Feng, belong to the 36th Squadron of the Black Armor Iron Army, and I am the chief officer of the Jiangning City Martial Arts Examination, and I will read out the rules of the martial arts examination. ”
The martial arts test was conducted in the abandoned town of Hundred Beasts outside Jiangning City.
The original name of the town of Hundred Beasts is no longer known, and since its ruin, it has been used by humans as a place to raise livestock.
In addition to hunting fierce and brutal demon beasts, some weaker and relatively easy to domesticate demon beasts were captured and raised alive, and for thousands of years, they have degenerated dogs, pigs, cows, chickens, sheep and other livestock from all kinds of demon beasts as a source of human meat.
Of course, the strength of these livestock is very different from the original demon beasts, but they are still beasts in essence, and they are very bloodthirsty in their bones, and ordinary people are very psychologically pressured when they face them. The rules of the test are to hunt these degraded livestock.
"Within twelve hours, hunt the cattle alone, collect the right ear of the livestock, and I will record it as the result of your martial arts examination. ”
There was no emotion in the Black Armor General's voice:
"When you participate in the martial arts test, I will send my subordinates to monitor in real time, and those who try to cheat will hand over the spoils of war to others, and both sides will be subject to conscription for three years!"
"Kill those of the same kind, plunder the spoils of war from other disciples, and behead!"
All the disciples sighed for a while, they already knew the rules of the martial arts test, but at this time, when they heard the chief official say it with their own ears, they still felt a chill in their hearts, just three years of working in the Jiuyou Mountain Range to dig stones, it was not something ordinary people could bear;
After all, mining is very lucrative.
Of course, under the great temptation of worshipping into the sect and becoming a martial artist, there is still no shortage of cheating people in the various provinces of the empire, and those who are responsible for supervising are all martial artists, and how can the disciples of the martial arts academy secretly cheat, and the outcome is self-evident.
It is even more impossible to bribe the supervisors, because once the incident occurs, the supervisors will suffer nine sentences and finally be sentenced to 10 years of hard labor, and no one is willing to take this risk.
It is about the future development of the empire, and it is ironclad.
Hundred Beast Town, with a radius of 20 miles, is surrounded by a 20-meter-high stone wall.
In fact, the stone wall was not very high, and the disciples of the Martial Academy could easily reach five or six meters in one jump, as did some livestock. The stone wall of Jiangning City is 50 meters high, and it is said that the stone wall of Jiuyou County City is even more than 100 meters high!
Seeing the disciples step into the Hundred Beast Town, the Dean of the Martial Academy breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and continued to speak to the Black Armor General and several adjutants:
"In the general's opinion, how many disciples of the Jiangning City Martial Academy can worship the sect this time?"
The black armor general smiled lightly: "I can't see how many people can worship into the sect now, but many of the disciples are of the highest level in spirit and temperament, and they have bothered to cultivate pillars for the empire." ”
As soon as these words came out, the elders of the martial arts academy disciples who were in a worried mood behind them instantly became much more relaxed, they were not martial artists, they couldn't see the advantages and disadvantages of the martial academy disciples, and their understanding of the usual performance of their own heirs was also from the teachers of the martial academy.
However, even the generals of the Imperial Army admitted frankly that the disciples of the Jiangning City Martial Academy had a superior spiritual temperament, and they were finally relieved.
Many elders even cited the data of previous martial arts tests.
In the last session, in the 1358 martial arts examination of the Qin calendar, a total of 112 disciples in Jiangning City worshiped the sect, including two first-class sects and 110 second-rate sects.
The Empire will aggregate the results of all the martial academy disciples who have taken the martial arts test. The major sects recruit disciples, not to select the best students from high to low among all the grades, but that any sect has a specific enrollment quota in different provinces, and the sect will only recruit the best disciples in each province.
After all, there are differences in the direction of the emphasis of the martial arts academy in different provinces to teach their disciples.
"I think that this year, there are at least one hundred and fifty people in our Jiangning City Martial Academy who will be able to worship the sect!" said a big-bellied poop merchant with a scarf on his head.
The bald man next to him nodded: "In the last martial arts test, one hundred and twelve people from the Jiangning Martial Academy entered the sect; in the last martial arts test, ninety-eight people from the Jiangning Martial Academy entered the sect, one session is stronger than the other, not to mention the praise of General Xiang, General Xiang's vision and vision are far beyond our comparison, and it is very likely that this year's session can reach one hundred and fifty people." ”
When the bald strong man spoke, he glanced at the black-armored general Xiang Feng out of the corner of his eye, and his voice was not big or small, just enough to reach the other party's ears. He said this on purpose to curry favor with the other party, but unfortunately General Xiang was still staring at the front and didn't even blink his eyelashes.
Several people around also agreed.
Only one of the slightly short in stature said in a low voice: "In the last session, there were two hundred people in Jiangning City who worshiped the sect. ”
When everyone heard this, their expressions were stunned, they ignored him, and communicated with each other: "Your Excellency is quite familiar, I don't know which one of the martial arts is your son?"
"Dog Wu Haoran, who is an ordinary person in the martial arts academy, has already ranked in the top twenty in his usual cultivation. ”
"The first twenty, isn't it certain that you can worship the sect......?
......
The town is littered with decaying wall stones, but there are also sturdy and well-preserved buildings, and surprisingly, towering trees have grown on the streets and in the ruins.
Desolation pervades every corner.
Zhuo Dongliu was the first to step into the Hundred Beast Town, Yi Ran was the leader of this Jiangning Martial Academy, in fact, it was true, in the three years of basic martial arts cultivation, Zhuo Dongliu was praised the most by all the teachers, he was praised by the teacher in one day, more than others received in a year.
Looking at the dilapidated scene in front of him and the unusually lush trees, Zhuo Dongliu's gaze gradually changed from modest to sharp.
In the presence of all the teachers and the Black Armor Iron Army, his eyes were modest and polite, but at this time, he was a little domineering.
"This direction. Zhuo Dongliu pointed straight ahead and said loudly: "I have it alone!"
The other martial arts disciples were faintly resentful when they heard this, and Zhuo Dongliu was pointing to the central direction of Hundred Beast Town. According to the feedback of the disciples who participated in the martial arts test in the past few sessions, the center of Hundred Beast Town is also the place where livestock are most concentrated, and all the way from here to the center of Hundred Beast Town, there is no doubt that you will be able to encounter more livestock in a short period of time, and you will get twice the result with half the effort.
At the same time, it is also the most dangerous route.
I didn't expect Zhuo Dongliu to have it alone.
The disciples of the Martial Academy dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
However, there was one person who took a step forward, and thousands of martial arts disciples looked over.
The dress is better than the snow, graceful and unparalleled, it is Yang Ning! Then there is a second person stepping out, heroic and unscathed, it is Mu Yi!
"Indeed, only the equally extraordinary Mu Yi and Yang Ning can be comparable to Zhuo Dongliu!
Among the thousands of disciples, some people sighed slightly, these three people are the pride of the Jiangning Martial Academy, and the achievements of the three of them in the Martial Academy make the other disciples can't help but feel ashamed of themselves, even if they compete in the same martial arts test, the three of them are also admirable.
Zhuo Dongliu turned his eyes slanted and did not speak, which could be regarded as recognizing the status of Yang Ning and Mu Yi. As for the other disciples of the Martial Academy, in his eyes, they were just insignificant mortal beings.
Suddenly, Zhuo Dongliu's face showed surprise, his brows furrowed slightly, and another person walked out.
"Is it, why did Luo Ning choose this direction, did he really think that he could be compared with Zhuo Dongliu and the others?"
Many disciples of the Martial Arts Academy whispered that Luo Ning compared himself to the three geniuses of the Martial Academy, but it was just a joke from the teacher Zhou Fan.
Luo Ning didn't seem to hear the mockery in secret, his eyes looked at the traces of livestock not far away, and his calm face was finally moved.
