The next morning, just after dawn, General Watari was ordered to come and lead his horses outside the dormitory early in the morning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the guidance of General Watai, Qing Ming is going to an important base for the children of the nobles of the great subject country to study, a place called Jucaitang. The two Hechuer brothers were with Qingming, and there was also a team of infantry guards.

The group walked for about a class, General Wataru commanded everyone to stop, to the foot of a mountain, look up, there is a big mountain in front of you, you can't see the top at a glance, the mountain is rugged, steep and straight, where the high mountain, the white mist lingers, like the residence of the gods.

General Watsu Sheng looked at Qing Ming up and down, shook his head, and said: "Your Highness, this mountain is called Qingmai Mountain, and Jucai Hall is built on the top of the high mountain, from here on, you can no longer ride horses, and I don't know if you can arrive on time with your bones......"

When Qing Ming heard this, he was quite weak-hearted, and he was hesitating when he heard a clear and powerful voice, which came from the valley: "Let the old man take you with him!"

Everyone looked around, but there was not a single superfluous figure to be found. turned around, but found that Qing Ming's horse was empty, and His Royal Highness the Prince was gone!

Everyone hurriedly looked around, and soon, they saw a figure in a wide robe and wide sleeves, carrying a thin and tall young man, and the two figures had already floated halfway up the mountain. There was a sigh from the crowd, and General Watari calmed down for a moment, and then arranged: "Everyone rest on the spot and wait for His Highness's first day of cultivation to end." ”

With that, he kicked the ground with both feet, and leaped a foot away, like a capable monkey, jumping towards the top of the mountain.

Qing Ming only heard the wind whirring in his ears, and he didn't know how he got to the top of the mountain, and he fell to the ground lightly in an instant. Qing Ming turned his head sideways to look at the master beside him, it turned out to be an old man of the same age as Yun Shengcheng, with silver-white hair scattered on his shoulders, eyes full of charm, unfathomable, a calm and relaxed appearance, his face was properly maintained, and he was slightly red.

Qing Mingzuo thanked him: "Thank you for the help of the old man, dare to ask the master's name?"

The old man stared at him for a while, didn't speak, snorted, and said with some disappointment: "I heard that the Bronze King is expected to be born, it turns out to be such a delicate little white face!

Seeing that he had thorns in his words, Qingming stopped talking.

At this time, General Watari also jumped to the top of the mountain, rushed over and knelt on one knee, and bowed loudly: "I have seen Lord Zhong Quan, the master of the Jucai Hall! Lord Xie took His Royal Highness up the mountain!"

Zhong Quan didn't speak, put his hands behind his back, and walked away.

General Wataru motioned for Qing Ming to hurry up, and he himself followed behind Qing Ming. At this moment, this dream knight, in front of Zhong Quanquan, was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he was silent.

Passing through a forest, a series of patchwork courtyards loom among the towering trees. Zhong Quantou didn't look back, and said lightly: "Qing Ming came in with me to gather talents!"

When Watari heard this, he stopped in front of the gate of the compound, turned around and stood still, and waited quietly.

Qingming stepped in with the old man from the middle courtyard door, bypassed a screen, it was the hall house, only to see a crystal plaque on the beam of the hall, on the plaque, with the similar font in the light wall displayed by the Qingyuan King before, three big characters were written: "Jucai Hall".

There were quite a few people in the hall, all young people, sitting in various places, and the positions were arranged in an orderly manner. In the crowd, Qing Ming saw Qing Ji at a glance, and saw this little uncle sitting at the back of the hall, holding his head high, trying to make himself look different. Qing Ming felt a little funny in his heart, because Qing Ji really looked extremely eye-catching.

Qing Ming hurriedly bowed to him and bowed respectfully: "I've seen little uncle!"

Qing Ji maintained his arrogant posture and shouted at the top of his voice: "The little nephew is here, ah, Ming'er is good!" He was afraid that the people around him would not be able to hear their conversation, so he deliberately raised his voice an octave.

The audience couldn't help but laugh and burst into laughter.

Qing Ming glanced around the room, and saw a large table in front of the hall, which was empty, and the table was a meter away, and there were many small tables in multiple rows, and everyone sat in front of their own small tables. In the nearest place of the big table in the middle, a small table was waiting for it, just as Qing Ming guessed, the old man Zhong Quan motioned for him to sit down in front of the small table.

Qingji was triumphant, and he shouted loudly: "Although this is my junior, it is also my bronze clan descendant, why don't you juniors come forward to see the driver?"

When several young people heard this, they were about to get up, only to hear a dignified son in the middle of the second row stand up first, waved his hand to Qing Ji, and said: "Senior brother, this is wrong! Although Qing Ming has the blood of nobility, he has not yet been crowned a king, and in this Jucai Hall, his identity is not much different from that of everyone here. Qing Ming has just arrived, and he should meet us as a gift. He will be crowned king and knighted one day, and it will not be too late for me to wait for another bow, and naturally there will be no lack of due courtesy. ”

His words were reasonable, and everyone sat back in their places at the moment, and when they heard him say that Qingji couldn't get out of the customs for a long time, his words were sarcastic, and everyone covered their mouths and laughed.

Zhong Quan coughed twice, and the audience was suddenly silent, he nodded and said, "Yun Yi is reasonable. Qing Ming, this is Yun Yi, the third ranked in Jucai Hall, and the eldest son of Yun Sheng Xiangguo, so he will introduce you to your senior brothers and sisters. ”

Yun Yi said yes, and then led Qing Ming to a burly man in the front row, and was about to speak, but the man hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Yun Yi's words are very reasonable, why are you confused now! Since you have to follow the rules of Jucai Hall, then, I haven't introduced Master Shizun yet, where is it my turn to be a useless person like me who has not been out of the customs for a long time!"

His words were sarcastic, Yun Yi's face was so embarrassed, he had to turn to Zhong Quan, and said respectfully: "The disciple is not thoughtful, please forgive me." ”

As he spoke, he turned to Qing Ming and introduced: "Master Zun is the official department in charge of the administration of my country, Master Zhongquan, and he is also the master of our Jucai Hall. After entering the Jucai Hall, he is the son of the master, please ask the junior brother to see the ceremony. ”

Qing Ming didn't know how to greet him, so he used the biggest etiquette he could think of to meet the master, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed. Zhong Quan nodded and smiled, and reached out to help him. Qing Ming felt a clear force and lifted his arms, thinking of the action of floating up the mountain with him, he couldn't help but sigh, the master is really unfathomable, if he can really learn a few skills, then he will be satisfied.

Yun Yi took Qing Ming to the burly man again, and when she saw that he was no longer talking, she said, "I heard that Senior Brother Qingji has already met Senior Brother Qing Ming, so I won't introduce it again." This is the second senior brother of Jucaitang, Qing Kun, who is good at martial arts, and is the beloved son of King Qingyuan. ”

Qing Kun saw Qing Ming bending over and being polite, and sighed that this cousin was really talented, and smiled at the moment, and responded in a loud voice: "I dare not take it seriously if I am good at martial arts, haha, my brother is a rough person, and he is offended by his talents, so don't be strange to my cousin!"

As he spoke, he patted Qing Ming's shoulder heartily.

Qing Ming felt that this cousin's palm was very powerful, and with just a light pat, his chest suddenly rippled, as if he had been inadvertently disturbed by the shock wave, and he caught a glimpse of Qing Kun laughing to himself. He knew that the shot was a natural reaction of his cousin's extreme happiness, and he didn't deliberately try his martial arts.

Yun Yi led Qing Ming again to a tall young man next to him, since he entered the hall, the young man had been sitting humbly, not laughing, not flattering. Seeing Qing Ming coming, the young man got up automatically, arched his hand, and said unhurriedly: "Don't dare to bother Senior Brother Yunyi, please allow the younger brother to introduce himself, Qingzhao, a student of Jucaitang, is also, Princess Qinghui is the adoptive mother of the younger brother, the younger brother was born in the same year as Brother Ming, the year of Brother Ming, the end of the year of the younger brother, the younger brother has seen his cousin! Congratulations to my cousin for waking up, may my cousin be blessed with good fortune!"

Qing Ming hurriedly returned the salute, seeing that Qing Zhao and Qing Kun's style is completely different, Qing Kun has a tiger's back and a bear waist, broad shoulders and a fat body, while Qing Zhao is thin, with deep eye sockets, big and energetic eyes, a high nose bridge, and the whole person looks energetic and polite. Qing Ming felt that Qing Zhao's temperament was a little awe-inspiring, and he was his cousin, listening to him, he couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.

At this time, a man and a woman who were slightly younger than Qingzhao walked over side by side, and at the same time saluted Qingming, Yun Yi said with a smile: "Brother Yun Wei, little sister Yun Li." ”

The two said in unison: "I've seen Senior Brother!"

Although the two of them first entered Jucai Hall to practice, Qingming was older, so the two took the initiative to call each other "senior brother" in order to show humility. The girl raised her eyes and looked at Qing Ming, she couldn't help but blush, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she smiled sweetly, revealing a small dimple on one side, which was very cute and moving.

Qing Ming looked at Yun Li a little distracted, only to hear a hearty young man's laughter outside the hall: "Where is the future Bronze King?

As soon as he finished speaking, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in light armor jumped into the lobby.

Zhong Quan slapped the table and shouted: "The kid must not be rude! It's reasonable to be late every day! I've seen Prince Qingming!"

The young man looked around, and there was only one person he didn't know, so he walked directly in front of Qingming, knelt down on one knee, and bowed: "I've seen Prince Qingming, please Prince An!"

Qingming hurriedly helped the young man up, and the young man smiled and said happily: "My name is Yun Chuan, and Hubu Shangshu Yunhui is my father." Prince Qingming, my ambition is to become a soul refiner who is both civil and military, and serve the country!

Zhong Quan pursed his lips and motioned for Yun Chuan to return to his place, his desk in a corner at the back of the hall.

The rest of the young people also came to meet Qing Ming one after another, and called each other brothers, some of whom were surnamed Qing and some were surnamed Zhong.

After everyone finished meeting, Zhong Quan walked to Qingming's side and said in a low voice: "Jucai Hall is a place where the children of the royal clan concentrate on practice, and all the children of the bronze nobles must practice here since childhood, practice skillful kung fu, and pass the assessment of the elders of the bronze clan before they can get out of the customs, and after leaving the customs, they can take up their posts and serve the country." All the young people surnamed Qing here are all descendants of the Bronze Clan. ”

He glanced at Qing Kun, then at Qing Ming, his eyes were full of expectation, and then said: "In addition to the descendants of the Bronze Clan, the surname 'Zhong' is considered a side family, and the young people surnamed Qing and Zhong in Jucai Hall are all young people of the Bronze Clan who have not yet left the customs. Of course, there are also your father's research students, general Watsusheng and others, all of whom are also from the Bronze Clan. ”

He touched his beard and said with a smile: "Of course, the old man is also a side branch surnamed Zhong, a member of the Bronze Clan. ”

Zhong Quan turned around and glanced at Yun Yi and the others, and continued to explain: "Yun Yi, Yun Wei, Yun Li, and the Yun Chuan who is late every day, they are the wang clan in the Iron Clan of my big subordinate country, and the old Xiangguo of Yun Sheng is the patriarch of the Iron Clan. Of course, only the children of the Iron Clan, who were of noble birth, could only be allowed to practice in the Jucai Hall after obtaining the consent of the elders of the Bronze Clan. ”

After the introduction, Zhong Quan ordered everyone to go out to find a vacant land, continue to practice the magic skills they chose, let Qing Ming observe from the side, and turned around and entered the inner room.
