The Emperor Chapter 4 The waist card in the crotch

Luo Qian followed the crowd, observed the surrounding situation, and found that these hundreds of people were surrounded by the guards, and a few teenagers who wanted to escape halfway were also forced back by the guards drawing their swords, and it was impossible for them to slip away, so they had to follow to Shuramen.

After walking a stick of incense, a high mountain in front of him came into everyone's eyes, and in the middle of winter, there was no lush greenery on the mountain, only some cedar trees that had lost their leaves. You can vaguely see that there are many attic courtyards on the mountain, and there are hundreds of blue brick houses alone, which are faintly scattered in various gentle places between the mountains. A row of tall courtyard walls enclose the entire foot of the mountain, and the courtyard wall is four or five zhang high from a distance.

In the middle of the courtyard wall, a door number is erected, the door number is quite majestic, about five zhang is more than high, the top of the door number is lined with green tiles, the column is also made of green bricks, the green bricks are carved with pieces of cloud pattern, and the two vermilion gates in the middle of the gatehouse are open left and right. On the left and right, there is a statue of a Yaksha with angry eyes, and it comes to life.

There are three big characters on the door number, and Luo Qian also recognizes this word, which is the three words "Shura Gate". Everyone was amazed at such a handiwork, and they actually surrounded the entire mountain to make the Shura Gate today. They still don't know that the Shura Gate has all the martial arts secrets that have been handed down in the past few hundred years, and there are countless peerless martial arts, which is the biggest skill of the Shura Gate.

Walking to the front of the door, the general in front of him stopped the team, turned over and dismounted, and said loudly in front of everyone: "Wait and listen! This is the Shura Gate, which is set up by Emperor Wu of my pilgrimage to the imperial court to select talents, and this collection of the world's martial arts is unique, which can only be borrowed, not destroyed, not privately hidden, not taken out of the Shura Gate, and violators will be killed. There are front and back mountains in the door, the front mountain is used for your cultivation, and the back mountain is used for your fighting, and the first two years of cultivation and living are not restricted, but the front mountain is not allowed to fight and fight, and the violator is directly executed. If you have a personal vendetta, you can go to the back mountain to fight, and you can fight and kill in the back mountain, but with your ability, life and death don't matter. Two years later, when the summer heat is called, everyone must assemble in front of the back mountain, and the bell rings ten times, and those who do not pass the time will be killed. You should live up to the emperor's grace, cultivate diligently, and expand the territory for me in the future, and make contributions! Can you hear me? ”

They replied, "Yes!" The people below have different thoughts, some are eager to try, and some are cowardly and sluggish, and no one can be calm in the face of such a cruel trial. Seeing this, Luo Qian knew that this encounter was unavoidable, and secretly decided in his heart that he wanted to make a name for himself here, so that he could bring his younger brother to eat and drink spicy food in the future. It's just that he has been in the Shura Sect for three years, and it's hard to say whether he can come out or not, and I don't know what happens to my younger brother now. This thief, this winter is much colder than in previous years, and my younger brother is afraid that it will not be easy to survive this winter, and he is secretly sad.

The general swept over everyone, nodded and shouted: "Enter the mountain and seal the door!" The guards around the city organized everyone to pass under the door number in turn, and Luo Qian, Zheng Ziming and other Zheng family disciples also lined up to enter the Shura Gate.

When entering the door, an old man who looked like a bookkeeper sat at the table, and everyone who entered the door went to the table in turn to register their identities and receive a waist card and a map. Luo Qianbao on the name, also received a waist card, one side of the word Luo Qian is written, the other side is engraved with a statue of Shura Zhang this blood basin mouth, the bottom is engraved with "Geng word thirteen", when receiving the waist card, the steward on the side has already explained, Shura Gate provides a quiet room for each person, which can be used for rest and meditation. "Gengzi Thirteen" is the quiet room that Luo Qian has reached. Waist card only this side is lost and not replaced, there are library buildings, training grounds, canteens, etc., with the waist card can enter and exit by themselves.

When everyone entered the Shura Gate, the general gave an order: "Seal the door!" Several guards around took out a large bronze lock and locked the vermilion lacquer door, and then took out two yellow seals and pasted them on the door. This door will not be opened again within three years, and the food and clothing and other materials in the Shura Gate have already been fully stocked, enough for three years. That lock seems to be going to cut off everyone's back road, and it has nothing to do with the disturbances of the outside world, and only by fighting a bloody way can you get out of here, and everyone who enters can only stop thinking about other things at this moment.

In the third year of Dayong's Kaiyuan, the envoys of Xiling Kingdom entered the pilgrimage to see. During the court meeting, the envoys spoke lightly, and repeatedly said that the decline of Dayong's martial arts style was not as good as that of Xiling Martial Arts. The ministers were angry, and the Xiling envoys proposed a competition in front of the palace, and the generals in the palace fought with the Xiling envoys and were able to defeat each other, and Dayong lost face.

After the envoys went, Emperor Yong was furious, and wanted to send troops to conquer Xiling, and the ministers died and admonished, all saying that the general of Tiance drove away the northern barbarians and shook the four seas, and all the people enjoyed 20 years of peace and prosperity. However, His Majesty's anger was not calm, and Prime Minister Qin Liangyu wrote to reopen the Shuluo Gate, select good talents for Dayong, and send an envoy to Xiling three years later to prove Dayong's martial arts. His Majesty agreed, and set the restriction that this Shurama should be dominated by young people, summoning 300 good talents to enter the trial, and the people who entered the entrance test should not exceed 15 years old, so that the four major gates of Dayong, and the three major sects should select good talents to enter the trial, and the number of people from each family entering the Shura Gate should not be less than 30.

As soon as this order came out, all the martial artists in the world rushed to be the first to make a name for themselves, and people who met the entry requirements in each county privately launched a martial arts competition, and selected and fought for the remaining 70 places at all levels. There are unscrupulous businessmen who open gambling to make money, there are sinister people who take the opportunity to murder others and impersonate them, and there are even winners who do not hesitate to buy and sell election officials and buy and sell places. For a while, there was a miasma, and it was not until the Shura Gate was closed that the turmoil gradually subsided.

As soon as he cultivated the Sect, the children sent by the Zheng family unconsciously gathered together to follow Young Master Zheng, although Luo Qian was arrested, he was also counted in the Zheng family, so he had to follow behind Young Master Zheng. The same is true of the other families, which are gathered together according to their affiliation before the entrance, and each family has a person in charge.

Those people in the rivers and lakes outside the four major families and the three major factions, seeing that the disciples of the four major families and the three major factions formed their respective camps, also spontaneously gathered together, everyone knew that the Shura Sect trial was extremely dangerous, after all, only one person could go out after three years, no matter what conflict occurred, everyone would not leave each other's hands, in this case, it was the best choice to report to the group for warmth.

Luo Qian followed the children of the Zheng family to a clearing, and the young master Zheng who was the leader turned around and said to everyone: "Don't follow me anymore, what you did in the Shura Gate has nothing to do with me, forget your family, and you don't have to leave me in the back mountain trial in two years!" Then he turned around and walked away.

Leaving everyone looking at each other, I thought that after entering the Shura Gate, I would fight side by side with the young master to protect the young master all the way out of the Shura Gate, if the young master can kill the Shura Gate, it will definitely be a sure thing to sit firmly in the position of the head of the Zheng family in the future. These children who have entered the Shura Sect are already considered dead soldiers, and they have been prepared to work hard for the young master before they enter, and they only hope that the young master will be kind to his relatives in his clan in the future. But I didn't expect that as soon as Shuramin was abandoned by the young master, he was confused.

Zheng Ziming looked coldly at Young Master Zheng, who turned to leave, and whispered, "What are you angry?" Who can get out of here is not sure! This sound happened to be heard by Luo Qian, who was closest to him, Luo Qian seemed to hear the disdain in Zheng Ziming's tone, and leaned over and asked, "You have a holiday with the young master?" Zheng Ziming laughed at himself: "What can I have with the young master of the big house?" In his eyes, we are just a burden. ”

Luo Qian said with a smile: "What's wrong with being a burden, if the Zheng family hadn't sent me here, I'm afraid I would have frozen to death and starved to death." Zheng Ziming didn't pay attention to it anymore and went by himself.

Luo Qian looked around, and saw that the entire Shura Gate was built in front of a mountain, and the foot of the mountain was quite spacious, with several buildings located in batches, and there were courtyards in various places on the mountain. Luo Qian remembered the map where he was in charge of the incident when he entered, and when he opened it, he saw that there were many lines drawn on the map, and some small squares were interspersed between the lines.

Luo Qian was confused, he only went to private school for two years when he was a child, and he didn't know how to look at the map at all, and he didn't know what the lines and boxes on the map represented, so he had to ask Zheng Ziming for help, Zheng Ziming is the young master of a big family, and he definitely knows more.

Turning around, Zheng Ziming had already walked away, so he hurriedly followed and patted Zheng Ziming on the shoulder. Zheng Ziming turned his head: "What's the matter?" ”

Luo Qian smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Ziming, I don't know how to look at this map, can you teach me." "The beggars in the market are the best at pleasing others, and before begging, they must think of a name that will make them happy.

Zheng Ziming said angrily: "Go, go!" The three years in the Shura Sect are fleeting, and I still have to be busy practicing, how can I have time to teach you this! Luo Qian didn't give up, and pulled Zheng Ziming's sleeve and cried with a sad face: "Brother Ziming, Shuramen is in danger everywhere, I don't know anything about a little flower child, if you go to the wrong place, you don't know how to die, you can raise your noble hand to save me!" "I looked aggrieved when I spoke, and I was extremely pitiful, and I wanted to say that I was pitiful in the world, and asked Hanako to say that no one dared to be the first.

Zheng Ziming didn't eat this trick, flicked his sleeves, jumped a few feet away, and disappeared in three or two steps. Luo Qian was stunned there, he didn't expect this bitter gourd face martial arts to be so high, Zheng Ziming always had a miserable look when he smiled, Luo Qian privately named him bitter gourd face.

In desperation, he had no choice but to continue to walk along the path when Zheng Ziming went, all the way were disciples who came to participate in the Shuramen, each in a hurry, and Luo Qian also felt the oppression brought by the Shuramen trial to these people.

After a while, Zheng Ziming went and returned, searched for a long time, and found that this little flower was sleeping soundly under a big tree. Seeing that lazy appearance, he was angry, and stepped forward and kicked Luo Qian's buttocks. Luo Qian was awakened by this kick, and before he opened his eyes, he scolded: "Who, why are you kicking your grandfather?" ”

Zheng Ziming endured his anger, comforted himself in his heart not to be angry with a man named Hanako, stretched out his hand and said, "Take it!" Luo Qian opened his eyes and took a closer look, it turned out to be Zheng Ziming who had gone and returned. hurriedly changed his smiling face: "Oh, it's Brother Ziming, why did you come back again?" ”

Zheng Ziming said coldly: "Is my waist card here with you, don't pretend to be stupid for me!" ”

Luo Qian pretended to touch his head: "You lost your waist card, oops!" Why are you so careless. I happened to pick up a waist tag on the road, it turned out to be yours, fortunately I hid him, otherwise it would be troublesome to be picked up by someone else. ”

Zheng Ziming thought it was true: "Where are you hiding, take me to get it!"

Luo Qian hesitated again: "Oh, this is a bit troublesome, I don't know the way, I have walked so far, turned seven or eight bays, how can I remember to please!" Then he took out the map in his arms and carefully identified it.

Zheng Ziming realized that the feeling was that this little Huazi stole his waist card to blackmail himself. There is no shortage of people who steal chickens and dogs in the market, Luo Qian's group of beggars' head monkey boss is a habitual thief, with a hand-cut stunt of the trick to turn on the street to touch the money bags of passers-by, Luo Qian followed the monkey boss and also learned a hand, although not as good as the monkey boss's skill, but when you are lucky, you can also get some soft back. Just now, when he was pulling Zheng Ziming's sleeve, he secretly took his waist card, Zheng Ziming was born in a wealthy family, rarely walked on the street, and lacked experience in the rivers and lakes after all, so he was caught by him.

Zheng Ziming knew that he had been put on the table, and he lost his waist card, and there would be a lot of inconvenience in the future when he acted in Shuramen, but he couldn't, the front mountain clearly forbade private fighting, and no one wanted to be the first to test the water as soon as Fang entered the mountain, otherwise he would have to make this little flower look good. I had to suppress my anger and ask, "Say, what do you want?" ”

Luo Qian thought that the guy reacted quite quickly, and knew that the other party had already seen through it, so he had to get off the donkey down the slope and pick up the map and compare: "Oops, this map is really a bit difficult to understand, wait for me to identify it carefully, maybe I can remember where it is hidden." ”

Zheng Ziming took the map, picked up Luo Qian on the ground, and said the things marked on the map in a few words. Luo Qianshang had a lot of puzzles, and asked Zheng Ziming again. Zheng Ziming patiently answered them one by one. Luo Qian lowered his voice and arched his hands to thank: "Thank you, Brother Ziming, you are my great benefactor, and you will definitely repay Brother Ziming in the future." ”

Zheng Ziming didn't bother to take care of it: "Don't take me to get the waist card yet." Luo Qian hurriedly responded: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" After that, he unbuckled his trousers on the spot, took out a waist card from his crotch and handed it over. Luo Qian said while tying his trouser pockets: "Brother Ziming, don't mind, my clothes are torn and full of holes, and there is no place to put such a big waist card, so I can only put it in the crotch of my pants, but we are all men, so it doesn't matter." ”

Zheng Ziming's lips turned white, and he endured the anger with his sleeves through his fingers, and pinched his waist card with his two fingertips, and saw Luo Qian's lazy appearance on his face, and a breath of anger rushed to the top of his head, and he kicked Luo Qian to the ground with a flying kick, turned around and flew away.

Luo Qian patted his chest and stood up and shouted at Zheng Ziming's back: "No. 3, I'll go and play with you!" The sound echoed in the woods, startling the birds, Zheng Ziming had long since disappeared, and he didn't know if he heard it. Although Zheng Ziming's kick was angry, it was not a heavy kick, and the Shura Sect had strict rules, and he didn't dare to use too much force.

learned to recognize the map from Zheng Ziming, and Luo Qian didn't delay any longer, and looked at the direction and walked all the way towards the Sulou.

In the Gengzi building, the upper and lower floors of the room, find the thirteenth and push the door in, although the inside is not very spacious, but the tables, chairs and beds are readily available, Luo Qian slowly installed two circles in the room, and for a while he had a lot of thoughts, and he couldn't help but shed two tears.

Since the bandits attacked the village, both parents died, Luo Qian and his younger brother became orphans, and they never lived in a decent room again.

After the bandits left, he and his brother also went home to see that the houses and fields had been seized by the wicked. Life was nothing more than the unbearable hunger of every night and the bitter cold of winter, and approaching the room at this time felt like a world away, but everything in front of him required him to gamble his life.

After the thought flow, Luo Qian wiped away his tears, lay on the bed and felt the warm mattress, and found that there were clean clothes on the bed. Luo Qian knew that his body was dirty, so he went downstairs to get some clean water, washed it carefully, put on new clothes on the bed, took a look in front of the mirror, and found that he was no different from others as if he was a teenager.
