After the battle in the forest of Fangyu, the chariots and horses led by Gu Yan entered the border of Qingzhou, and the journey was quite smooth, and three days later they arrived at the center of the fiefdom of King Li in Qingzhou - Dancheng.

Knowing that the princess of King Li had returned from the province of Qianyan, King Li Zhao Qi specially asked the civil and military officials in the fiefdom to welcome them to the palace from the city gate. The scene was grand and the atmosphere was warm, fully expressing King Li's longing for the return of the princess.

The mansion of King Li covers an area of 100 acres, the scale is grand, the main entrance of the mansion alone, it is enough to be three zhang high, four zhang wide, all open, can accommodate ten horses to step in parallel. After the entrance, it is the rockery for the screen, followed by the small bridge flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, very winding paths and quiet interests, and then the hall and the living room, arranged here, not only quiet and secret, and the safety surname is quite high, because on both sides of it is the place where the guards in the house rest and practice, divided into the east and the west.

The east is the head, the west is second, it was originally a relationship between the upper and lower levels, but due to the diversion of the forces in the house, the upper and lower levels have changed from the upper and lower levels to real opponents, so each has its own barracks and martial arts, and each has its own leadership and system.

And Gu Yan is the director of the East Institute, and the Yunti Sect led by him occupies the East Institute, and his allegiance is to the prince, orthodoxy, the prince, and the princess Li.

The director of the West Institute is a person named Wu Hook, and the people he leads are not a sect, but some capable people who are wandering in the rivers and lakes, including many chickens and dogs, all of whom are recruited by King Li.

Li was originally the daughter of Xiangguo of Qingzhou Kingdom, and was originally married to King Li as the princess of the main family, but she didn't expect that after just three years of being a princess, she was taken the position of the main room by the princess Zigli sent by Qianyan Country and demoted to a side concubine, and even after Ziegli gave birth to a baby boy Zhao Ting, she took the position of the son of her son Zhao Qin. The hatred in this goes without saying.

Therefore, the contradictions and frictions between the East and West are becoming more and more intense, and there are few open disputes and many secret fights. And Zhao Qi, the king of Li, likes to play the art of checks and balances, turning a blind eye to the fight of the women in the house, but telling both sides to protect his two sons.

King Li's attitude gave the side concubine Li great confidence, she thought that King Li was forced to belittle her as a side concubine because of the national policy of peace between the two countries, as for which son can inherit the throne of the son in the future, it is still unknown. After all, half of Zhao Ting is of the bloodline of Qianyan Kingdom, which is not as good as the bloodline of his son Zhao Qin, who is a pure Qingzhou countryman.

As the saying goes, as soon as he enters the Houmen, it is as deep as the sea, and Xiao Yinfeng takes root in the name of Gu Jun in the east of this Li Wangfu.

The Yunti Sect was originally a sect that emphasized the cultivation of physical arts, but after the decline of the sect, it began to use swords because of the custom of respecting the sword in the Qingzhou Kingdom, and used heavy swords in order to distinguish it from the lightness of the Sword Sect, the largest sect in the Qingzhou Kingdom. When it was passed on to Gu Yan, it followed a set of methods for quenching bones and refining strength, so as to ensure that everyone in the sect was strong and strong, and the attack was ruthless.

Gu Jun, as the adopted son of Gu Yan, is indispensable for the quenching of bones and refining strength of this method, so since Gu Jun was brought back, he took a bath with the special medicinal liquid made by the Yunti Sect every time, and soaked until he was four years old, and then he had to participate in the Yunti Sect's physique test. Only children with strong physique, strong strength, and between the ages of four and ten can officially enter the sect.

And this kind of physical fitness test is very cruel for children under the age of 10. The method of testing is very simple, only the child who is tested punches the designated stone shard, and the eligibility is determined according to the degree of fragmentation of the stone flakes. There are three kinds of stone chips used in this test - tortoiseshell, melaleucite, and biotite.

Tortoise stone, also known as weathered stone, is made of various gravel polymerization, mixed colors, furrows vertical and horizontal, is the most loose texture of the three stone chips.

Melaleuca is a blue-black and white sheet rock, and the stone is harder than tortoiseshell.

Biotite is black with mercerized color, dense structure, delicate, and is the hardest stone flake of the three stones.

The test was divided into three rounds. In the first round, the tortoiseshell stone was used, and as long as the children who participated in the test could smash the tortoisestone into a crack with one punch, they would have the qualifications to become a disciple of the Outer Chamber Sect of the Cloud Body Sect. In the second round, if the children who participated in the test were able to smash the mille-feuille stone into a crack with one punch, they would be eligible to become the inner chamber disciples of the Cloud Body Sect. In the third round, if the children who participated in the test were able to smash the biotite into a crack with one punch, they could be accepted by the sect master and elders as disciples and become leaders among their peers.

Lizhou, the fief under the jurisdiction of King Li, is located at the southern end of the Qingzhou Kingdom, far away from the capital Qingdu, and closer to the Fang Domain. Therefore, the inhabitants of this place are mostly martial, in order to resist the bandits from the area who come here from time to time to raid and rob houses.

Although the Qingzhou Kingdom was headed by the Sword Sect, the residents of this place tended to invest in the Yunti Sect, the largest land-sitting household in Lizhou, because of the long distance of the Sword Sect, the high threshold, and the high tuition fees.

Therefore, every year when the Yunti Sect holds a physical fitness test, the Li Wangfu will open the east gate of the palace and warmly receive a large number of children who come to the test, so that the palace can be filled with reserve strength, and the second can make the people love and yearn for the palace.

As a result, from time to time, the east gate of the palace in the city heard the sound of children punching stones and the cry of fists after bleeding, which was not lively for a while.

The bloody stone chips were pulled out in whole cars, but there were not many disciples who could stay, because the crying was too noisy, so the side concubine Li asked the prince to add one more standard for the physical fitness test of entering the sect, that is, the cryer must be chased. Even if a stone cracks are smashed, if you cry with tears, you will not be eligible to enter the sect.

Although this standard is not humane, it does greatly reduce the number of sects entering the Yunti Sect, and achieves the goal of the side concubine Li Clan's weakening of the Yunti Sect. The children selected according to such criteria not only have excellent physique, but even have a hard surname, which is something that Concubine Li could not have imagined.

Gu Yan, as the sect master of the Yunti Sect, is upright, and he is even more confident in his adopted son Gu Jun, and after four years of careful training, he found that Xiao Gu Jun is not only talented, literate and hyphenated at a glance and ten lines, but also has amazing strength, and has tested Gu Jun many times in private. One finger can poke the tortoiseshell stone, two hands can break the mille-feuille stone, and a punch can smash the biotite, every time it is easy and pleasant, although the hand is also bleeding, but I have never seen Gu Jun cry, as if he doesn't know the pain, he has always laughed, so that Gu Yan was pleasantly surprised, and he loved like a pearl.

But no one knows that Gu Jun's innate divine power is actually a trace of erysipelas that was contaminated when he killed the monsters in Qiyang City in his previous life, and this erysipelas was originally solved by Shi Jialan's self-detonation of medicinal gas, but by chance, after being reborn, this erysipelas met the liquid of the Yunti Sect to quench the bones and refine the strength, but as if he had met a relative of the same clan, there was a trace of recovery, and there was a trace of mutation, which had a decisive improvement in the effect of the liquid medicine on quenching the bones and refining the strength. After soaking in the special medicinal liquid for more than three years, Xiao Gujun's physique is indeed different from ordinary people, not to mention his strength, and his tolerance for pain is also extraordinary. For Gu Jun, who entered the Cloud Body Sect to cultivate, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise for the time being.

Such a righteous son is the pride of the father-in-law, and such pride must be displayed in a crowded place in order to satisfy Gu Yan's vanity as the head of a sect. However, if the vanity of Gu Yan, the director of the East Institute, is satisfied, then the self-esteem of Wu Gou, the director of the West Institute, will be hit. Therefore, Wu Gou saw Gu Yan's overjoyed appearance when Xiao Gu Jun won the top spot in the first round of testing, and he was very jealous, so he sent someone to put some laxatives in Gu Jun's meal, and Gu Jun, who was diarrhea, ran to the toilet all night to have diarrhea, and tossed until dawn, his stomach didn't hurt anymore, and he collapsed.

As soon as the morning dawned, all the children who participated in the second round of testing were gathered at the east gate of the palace and tested in order according to the list. Because there was an extra requirement not to cry this time, there were not many children who could enter the second round of testing, a total of thirty-eight people, and Gu Jun's name was written in the first one.

No matter what the event, the first player to take the field will always get the most comprehensive attention. The arrangement for Gu Jun to be the first to play was to consider that Gu Jun could set an example for other children, and at the same time win praise for the sect leader Gu Yan, but he didn't expect that Gu Jun would be late.

"Will you be late for the second round of testing?" Gu Jun, that kid shouldn't be afraid that this mille-feuille stone is too hard to come out, right?" Wu Gou's men who gave Gu Jun laxatives began to gloat.

Gu Yan was dressed in purple brocade, and the two auspicious clouds on his chest seemed to float in the sun, and the people who watched it secretly praised this Xuanshi's clothes as extravagant!

"According to the rules set by your Yunti Sect, if you are late, you will not be qualified to enter the sect!" Wu Gou's other subordinate was the person who dispensed medicine to Xiao Gu Jun, please be calm at this moment, shook his head and said sarcastically, "But Gu Jun is the righteous son of the ancient sect master, it seems that everyone still has to wait for the face of the ancient sect master!

When Gu Yan heard this, his heart sank, and he had already guessed that Wu Gou's subordinates must have stumbled Gu Jun, and he was anxious, but he saw that his subordinates had already walked up with Xiao Gu Jun.

Xiao Gujun pulled his belly until his legs were weak and his face was pale. As soon as he entered the test site, he saw this group of people staring at him with two different eyes, and he didn't realize that his face was white again. When I heard someone in the crowd say that he was late, I felt a little aggrieved, and my little face turned white again.

Gu Yan looked at Xiao Gu Jun's sick appearance, and knew that he was given laxatives by Wu Gou's men, and he was distressed in his heart, and he wanted to protect his calves, but he couldn't help Gu Jun from participating in this second round of testing and directly entered the inner room of the Cloud Body Sect. This is the rule of the sect, and as the head of a sect, you can't break it by yourself, right? The common people in Quanli Prefecture who led their children to the test can drown people with spit.

"Although it came a little late, it didn't miss the hour, sect master, let's start testing!" Gu Yan's second junior brother Jin Daotu understands Gu Yan's temper, no matter what state Xiao Gu Jun is in at this moment, he has to drive ducks to the shelves, force mice to farm, and give it a try.

Seeing that Gu Yan nodded, Jin Daotu pointed to a three-foot-square stone platform in front of him, and said to Xiao Gu Jun: "Gu Jun, go ahead, a thousand-layer stone has been placed on the stone platform, start testing." Remember, strike with all your might to bring glory to your father. ”

Xiao Gujun nodded seriously, glanced at his father-in-law from a distance, and clenched his little fists.

He walked slowly to the stone platform in front of him, his steps vaguely seemed to be about to fall at any moment, anyone who looked at it could see that the child was very weak at the moment, but no one said to care, just watched with their hearts how the little boy who won the first place in the first round passed the second round of the test.

"What do you think? Xiao Gujun, aren't you very powerful? Hurry up and smash it down!"

"Yes, we've all been waiting for you for a long time!

"Hurry up! You're the first, and there's thirty-seven kids to test in the back! It's not easy to test here with a big sun!"

......

Xiao Gujun pursed his lips, his face turned pale, he raised his eyes to look at his father-in-law with a solemn face, and for the first time there was an indescribable grievance and bitterness in his heart, and his suffocated chest seemed to be pressed by a boulder, which made him breathless......

Xiao Gujun bit his lower lip with his teeth, clenched his right fist, and smashed it down fiercely against the stone fragment in front of him......

Wu Gou and the others, who were waiting to watch the show, watched Xiao Gu Jun punch and smash the stone with interest at the moment, and Wu Gou himself stared at Gu Yan, who was in a nervous mood, waiting to see the disappointed expression he wanted to see.

The fist slammed down, but stopped at a centimeter away from the stone shard. All the spectators were puzzled, and some even laughed and said, "Is this kid afraid of hand pain, so he actually stopped there and didn't move?"

"I heard that this kid smashed the turtle stone with a punch yesterday, I'm afraid his hand was injured, and now I'm scared when I see the mille-feuille stone!"

"If you want me to say, if you don't participate in this cruel test, you can't see the children frozen there in fright!

"That's the righteous son of the ancient sect master, if you don't even have the guts to smash the thousand-layer stone, then you will lose the face of the ancient sect master!"

......

Gu Yan, who was sitting on the high stands, stared at Xiao Gu Jun in front of the stone platform, his palms were already sweaty, and Jin Daotu, who was standing next to him, leaned over and whispered a few words to Gu Yan, and wanted to walk to the stone platform in front of him, but he didn't think that at this moment, Xiao Gu Jun's fist smashed down, or pressed down.

It was indeed pressed, silently.

The spectators present were all surprised and showed disdain, and Xiao Gujun felt humiliated for the first time in his eyes.

The fist stopped on the stone chip, and after a long time, Xiao Gujun slowly let go of his hand, and the stone lay there intact, causing everyone to laugh.

In the laughter, Xiao Gujun felt that his hands, arms, and even shoulders were numb, but his heart was painful and clear. He didn't understand what these people were laughing at, but he understood that these people looked down on him.

"Okay, Gu Jun has already punched the stone, let me come down and check the results. Jin Daotu said, he had already accumulated a ball of pure qi in his hand, and was ready to quietly break the thousand-layer stone chips for Xiao Gujun during the inspection, but he didn't think that before he walked to the stone platform, he was stopped by Wu Hook.

"Checking the test results is still a matter of bothering Brother Jin? Wu Hook is also wearing a purple brocade robe, the style is the same as Gu Yan, but the auspicious cloud on his chest is one less, and he is skinny, his face is obscene, and he can't wear the luxury of clothes, but it seems to be a borrowed clothes imposed on his body, however, the people of Lizhou know that this Wu Hook is also a Xuanshi, but he is a junior Xuanshi, although the Xuanshi has a very lofty status, but compared to Gu Yan's facial features and dignified appearance, it is really difficult for the people to admire Wu Gou.

"My Yunti Sect's qualification test, how can I do it for others under a false hand? Seeing Wu Hook blocking him, Jin Daotu hurriedly put away the pure qi in his hand, afraid that his intentions would be revealed.

"Brother Jin said this, you and I are both working for the palace, and the Yunti Sect is holding such a major event as the qualification test for entering the sect, so we are naturally willing to do our part. Moreover, this second round of testing is not as good as the first round, after all, it is a disciple who is going to be selected into the inner chamber of the Cloud Body Sect, and they will all be the backbone of the palace in the future, so naturally they must not be sloppy. The inspection of the test results is still fair, fair and open. In this way, in order to avoid suspicion, it would be better for Brother Jin to let me, who is not a person from the Cloud Body Sect, do it for me, right?"

After Wu Gou said this, Jin Daotu couldn't force his resignation in front of everyone, so he had to give up.

Wu Gou touched his beard with a sharp beak monkey cheek, his heart blossomed, he glanced at Gu Yan from afar, and saw him with a sad face on his face, and his heart was even more comfortable, so he came to the stone platform with great fanfare, raised the stone chip on the stone platform, and displayed it in front of everyone, in order to let everyone see that there were no cracks on the stone table, Wu Gou also walked down the venue to let the stone piece get in close contact with the audience.

At this contact, Wu Gou's face instantly hardened like a stone slab, because the stone chip in his hand was shattered!

How is it possible? Could it be that the little guy only needs to press down with his hand, and the stone chip will break? How can a four-year-old child have such great internal strength! He didn't even have the action of smashing it, he pressed it! Impossible! It was absolutely impossible! How did this stone chip break?

The broken stone chips fell on the stone chips, and Wu Gouwu stood stupidly on the spot, and he didn't know why for a while.

After seeing the truth clearly, he immediately pulled his neck and shouted: "Eh, Mr. Wu, aren't you cheating? Why did you crush the stone chips with your own hands? No matter how good you are with the Gu Sect Master, you can't favor Gu Jun in the face of so many of our fellow villagers and elders, and cheat for Gu Jun! How can this be fair to our other children who participated in the test? No, no! It's not right for you to do this!"

"That's it!

"Those who cheat should be disqualified!"

"Cheating clears the door!Don't be embarrassed here!"

......

"I, no, do, cheat!" A childish roar stopped all the ridicule and teasing, like an embroidery needle that pierced everyone's heart.
