[Ask for collections, recommended tickets!]
......
The Sword Pavilion is an authoritative and credible organization among the swordsmen of the Celestial Empire, and it is also a management organization of swordsmen, and there are branches of him in some major cities across the country, mainly providing headhunting employment, trials, commissions, assessments, registrations and a series of matters for swordsmen all over the country.
When Nie Lin followed Liu Chengfeng to the Sword Pavilion, he saw that in front of the gate of the Sword Pavilion, many people were coming in and out, so it was not lively.
And at the gate, some of the people who entered had to be checked by two sword servants before they were allowed to pass, and there were also some people of different clothes, middle, young, and young who came out of the building one after another, some festive, some down, and so on.
In his previous life, although Nie Lin rarely dealt with this Sword Pavilion, his understanding of him was still very profound.
"This is the Sword Pavilion, after entering for a while, don't run around, just follow me!"
After Liu Chengfeng confessed, he took a few people to the door of the Sword Pavilion.
"Yo, it turns out that the second young master of the Liu family is here, and today I am bringing a few young masters to try the sword, right?"
After Liu Chengfeng walked to the door, the two sword servants naturally knew Liu Chengfeng, so they had a smile on their faces, and their demeanor was also very respectful, and they didn't check it, so they directly let Liu Chengfeng take Nie Lin and the other four into the Sword Pavilion.
Nie Lin thought to himself, in the end, it was a big family, and it must be privileged in this Sword Pavilion, and from the attitude of these Sword Pavilion's sword servants, he could see some clues, and he was wondering why the master didn't enjoy these privileges back then.
After entering the Sword Pavilion, what catches your eye in front of you is a majestic main pavilion hall, a large square in front of the hall, there are many people standing in the square at this time, everyone is holding a sign in their hands, and when they hear someone calling the number, someone immediately agrees to walk to the main hall.
Liu Chengfeng and a few people did not enter the main hall, directly through the square, and came to a side arch, where there were also sword servants guarding, they saw Liu Chengfeng bring people, and did not let them line up to receive the number, naturally the green light passed, and entered a separate courtyard.
This courtyard is also relatively large, a row of gray ridge tile houses are located in the middle of the courtyard, in front of the door of the main hall, there are also sword servants standing, looking at the momentum, it is quite different from the outside, and the strength is not low.
Without any questioning, when a sword servant took the initiative to open the door, Liu Chengfeng led a few people in.
After entering the main hall, Nie Lin looked at it, this hall was very large, and there were not many furnishings in it, there were several rows of shelves on the left, and there were many boxes on them, and the boxes were also labeled.
The reception desk in the middle is very simple and chic, with a large table and two chairs, which are neatly organized.
On the right side of the hall, Nie Lin saw seven young men and women and a middle-aged man sitting there quietly, and at this time these people all turned their faces and looked at them curiously.
Nie Lin looked at these people, the seven teenagers were about the same age as Hu'er, four men and three women, all wearing a set of light green brocade shirts, looking heroic, from the dress at a glance, he knew that he was from the light sword Tang family, and they all came here to try the sword and register.
Of course, those young men and women also looked at the few people here, and whispered.
"Huh?"
At this time, a middle-aged man who was close to him and was not confused, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, snorted, and those teenagers suddenly didn't dare to say anything more, and honestly sat on the side.
The middle-aged man turned his face to look at Liu Chengfeng, and then looked at Nie Lin and the others behind him, but his voice was a little ridiculous, and said: "Second Liu, why did you bring three this year, my Tang family has seven, it seems that this year's sword test competition, your Liu family is going to be the second child again, haha......"
Needless to say, Nie Lin was automatically ignored by this middle-aged man.
Liu Chengfeng was expressionless, and said indifferently: "Tang Qianlou, don't be complacent, you'll see for a while, maybe the seven in your family this year are not as good as the one in my family!"
"Oh, then I want to see, what kind of talent can you Liu Lao Er train to come out, Tu Lao will come soon, who will come first?"
"You come first, then you go first, we naturally won't rob you!"
As he was talking, the curtain in the side hall was lifted, and an old man with gray hair was seen entering the main hall accompanied by a pair of young men and women.
But what makes people's eyes shine is the pair of young men and women, the man is handsome and chic, the air is magnificent, the woman is delicate and beautiful, plump and charming, the two are like a natural pair, which makes people envious.
Nie Lin glanced at the young man more.
The two teenagers of the Tang family, looking at the beautiful and moving woman, their eyes were a little straight, Tang Qianlou was embarrassed, turned his face and glared, and the two teenagers restrained themselves.
After these people came in, Liu Chengfeng and Tang Qianlou bowed one after another: "Tu Lao!"
Tu Lao nodded at the two of them, and said in a very kind voice: "I didn't expect that your Tang and Liu families happened to come on the same day this year, the old man is so lazy, haha!"
After everyone laughed, Tang Qianlou said respectfully: "Old Tu, I just told Liu Lao Er that this year will start with our Tang family!"
After Tu Lao sat down, the two young men and women were also busy at this time, they went to the innermost part of the shelf, took two boxes from the two closets, and after opening the boxes, they took out two booklets and put them in front of Tu Lao.
Tu Lao first picked up a booklet, looked at it and said, "Well, last year, the Tang family reported nine, and now seven are here, it seems that the progress is rapid!"
Hearing this, Tang Qianlou's face turned pale, and said: "This year, the children in the family have really worked hard, and in the middle of last year, the family accepted three disciples with good qualifications, and in less than half a year, they were promoted from swordsmen to swordsmen, and my father was really pleased, hehe!"
After speaking, Tang Qianlou couldn't help but glance at Liu Chengfeng proudly.
Liu Chengfeng showed a faint hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth, and when Tang Qianlou saw it, he raised his eyebrows.
"Okay, Chengzhong, you go and get the sword test stone, Xiao Xiao, you go and get the jade sword, let them do it in this hall!" Tu Lao said to the young man and woman next to him, and after the two responded, they went to another hall.
After a while, Nie Lin saw Tu Chengzhong holding a cylindrical stone that was half a person tall and had no texture to see came out and placed it in the middle of the hall, and the woman was holding a very special sword made of pure jade with a hidden streamer blooming in her hand and putting it in front of the table, he knew that this was a sword test stone and a jade sword, which was dedicated to the Sword Pavilion.
After Tu Lao nodded, he said: "This jade sword is the same as in previous years, but these children don't know the details, I still have to introduce it, this sword is made by the most outstanding craftsmen in the empire with pure heavenly glazed jade, and there is no sword fetus implanted inside, but there is a 'jade spirit'."
And the sword test stone is taken from the flying stone outside the sky, and the jade spirit in the jade sword can form a reaction, so that people can also intuitively see the strength level of the swordsman, when you try the sword for a while, you only need to practice the sword as usual, hold the sword to instill the power into the jade sword, or stab, or cut the sword test stone, it's very simple, children, do you understand!"
"Understood!" replied in unison. Parents have explained these things before coming.
"Okay, now I will read out the names in the report, you will come to test the sword in turn, Chengzhong, Xiao Xiao, the two of you are responsible for guidance and records!"
"Yes!" After the young man responded, he took the jade sword down, came to the sword test stone and took his seat, the woman picked up the pen and the booklet and prepared it, Tu Lao was the first to shout: "Next, the first child named Tang Bailin will come first!"
After being called by name, one of the young men of the Tang family got up and walked to the sword test stone, and after the young man handed the sword to the young man and taught him how to use it, he finally said, "Let's start!"
