The day of enrollment has arrived.

Tianheng City, Huiji County.

This is the head city of the Xiang family, after the Xiang family has been operating for generations, this city has long become the hub of the five counties and three roads on the bank of the Tianlin River, and is an important county town integrating commerce, farming, animal husbandry and shipbuilding. It is also the most elite garrison of the Xiang family, with favorable terrain, beautiful scenery and extremely prosperous.

The genius was faintly bright, the city gate opened, and the merchants and peasants who rushed into the city to do business entered the city. There are also countless carriages coming, obviously all of them are students who want to enter the family school.

Xiang Bin and Huzi's carriage were mixed in and walked in the direction of the clan school.

As soon as they entered the city, Xiang Bin and Huzi opened the curtain of the car and looked around, and the two of them suddenly felt an eye-opener.

The heavenly street made of smooth mirror-like bluestone extends into the distance, and there is no end in sight and there are dozens of miles. The whole street is more than 100 zhang wide, with shops on both sides, and there are small roads between the shops that extend in all directions, which are evenly intertwined with Tianjie Street, dividing Tianheng City in an orderly manner.

All kinds of hawking, snacks, juggling, business trips, all kinds of things that have never been seen before, make Xiang Bin feel fresh. Secretly sighed, if it was in the previous life, how could he have seen such a scene? Huzi was even more unbearable, looking at the monkey's anxious appearance, it seemed that he wanted to go down immediately and buy all kinds of delicious and fun things to try.

The carriage drove through the city for about half an hour, and finally arrived at the Xiang family school.

The grand building complex stands in the southeast of Tianheng City, opposite to the Hou Mansion in the west of the town. The two of them sat in the carriage and watched as they approached the clan school, and countless carriages of various colors stopped in the wide open space in front of the clan school, blocking the road and draining the water.

Countless teenagers, accompanied by their families, stood at the door of the clan school, or looked around, or gathered in twos and threes to discuss, or cold-eyed, their heads were black and oppressive, and they didn't know that there were tens of thousands of people.

Xiang Bin gasped, and finally got to know the long-standing behemoth of the family.

The housekeeper took Xiang Bin and Huzi to the front of the clan school and found that all the teenagers who came to the school were divided into three groups. On the far right, they were richly dressed, and everyone had a pride on their faces, and occasionally looked at the people around them with their spare eyes, all of them showing deep disdain and contempt.

Come to think of it, these are the most direct children of the Xiang family.

In the middle is the side children, and after the housekeeper explained two sentences, Xiang Bin and Huzi walked into this group of people together.

The one on the far left is the descendants of the subordinates who are attached to the Xiang family, and they are not badly dressed, but when they look at the other two groups, there is always some envy and even fear in their eyes.

This is the strict distinction of identity and hierarchy, and the thoughts that have been instilled since childhood go deep into the bone marrow.

After waiting for another hour, a few people came out of the clan school, and they were dressed up, and they were the gentlemen or martial artists in the clan school. The first one was in his forties, dressed in a scribe's robe, with a three-foot-long beard fluttering in the wind, and a white complexion. Holding a purple silk book in his hand. Behind him stood three people, all tall warriors with broad shoulders and round waists, their eyes blazing, and their temples bulging high. With a strong momentum in his gestures, he is obviously a master.

The scribe came out and looked around, then spoke slowly, and said, "Be quiet." ”

It was just a soft word, but it sounded in everyone's ears like thunder, and everyone immediately fell silent, staring at the scribe.

"The clan school opened today to recruit martial arts. After the test, those who pass the test will be admitted to the school, and I will announce three rules. ”

The scribe opened the purple scroll in his hand, and his voice was neither happy nor sad: "First, students should be sincere and united, if there is really a conflict, they can fight, but they must not kill anyone." If the contradiction cannot be resolved, you can ask the teacher for help. ”

The expressions of all the teenagers in the field changed slightly, so stipulated, isn't this encouraging to support the brawl between students?

As if sensing everyone's thoughts, the scribe didn't seem to be satisfied, and added: "I give you a piece of advice, don't ask the teacher for help easily. What my Xiang family school cultivates is the future of the Xiang family, and if it is weak, it is naturally not worthy of being called the future. If you can't even solve the small brawls in the school, then you might as well go home and farm as soon as possible. ”

There was a burst of laughter from below, and someone in the direct family said coldly and loudly: "The clan school is also open to these subordinates, it is really a laugh to lose people's teeth, it is originally a group of people who are from farming, what can it do?"

Naturally, these words were said to the children of those subordinates, and immediately attracted their angry eyes. Who knew that this person seemed to be unconscious, and continued: "What's even more ridiculous is that the children of the side line can also enter the school, doesn't this mean that my Xiang family has completely lost the distinction between dignity and inferiority? If you bring those subordinates in, you can also take them as subordinates, and if you take these side lines in, will it be possible to be on an equal footing with us? I don't know which person who is dizzy makes this kind of decision!"

This time, even the children of the side family were offended, which immediately caused an uproar.

The scribe's expression remained unchanged, but he coughed lightly and said, "Who's talking?" ”

A young man of about thirteen or fourteen years old walked out of his direct family, looked around arrogantly, and then bowed his hand to the scribe casually from afar, and said, "It's me." ”

"What's your name?"

"Xiang Xiu. ”

"Oh, the grandson of the three elders of the Elders' Association, Xiang Xiu. The scribe nodded slightly, obviously knowing the name.

Xiang Xiu looked smug and said lazily: "Sir, I don't know what is the matter with calling the students out?

The scribe didn't raise his head, just waved his hand lightly, and said, "Xiang Xiu, the grandson of the three elders of the family elders' association, spoke wantonly without permission during the entrance ceremony, and he was disqualified from entering the school!" ”

The audience was silent.

Xiang Xiu opened his mouth in disbelief, swallowed his saliva and said angrily after a while: "You dare! My grandfather is in the old family's association, and it is easy to clean you up! Give you face and call you Mr. Sheng, are you really a thing?!"

Hearing this, Xiang Bin looked at Xiang Xiu with sympathetic eyes, and whispered an idiot in his heart.

The scribe ignored Xiang Xiu's words at all, just raised his hand and pointed at Xiang Xiu, and said lightly: "Get out." ”

The heavens and the earth suddenly changed color, and a thick purple qi appeared around Xiang Xiu, and after a flicker, he disappeared with Xiang Xiu, and disappeared without a trace.

Xiang Bin was taken aback, and said in his heart, Is this the way of the Jinglun cultivated by the scribes?Formation?It is so easy to lose a person, and without warning, this kind of method ......

Xiang Bin was not the only one who was shocked, the audience was suddenly quiet, and no one dared to say a word.

"Tell the Third Elder to go to the Pegasus Grassland to find someone, if you are eaten by wolves at night, it has nothing to do with me. In addition, there are many people with many mouths and tongues, take this person as an example. ”

The scribe seemed to have done something insignificant, but still lightly. But at this time, everyone looked at him, but they were all full of inexplicable fear.

The Tianma grassland is 500 miles long, in which fierce beasts are rampant and horse thieves are rampant. With just one finger, it can get people five hundred miles away, which is really terrifying.

"The second rule, the words of the clan school and the martial artist must be obeyed unconditionally, and if you do not obey, please go home. ”

No one has any objection to this. Respecting the teacher is the principle of heaven, if you don't even listen to the teacher's words, what else can you learn?

"Article 3, the enrollment of the clan school in this realm, everyone is treated equally, and all of them teach martial arts together. Only the grades will be distinguished according to the assessment results, and there is no difference between high and low status. ”

After saying this, the whole audience suddenly became in an uproar, and those direct children changed color one after another, ignoring the shock of the scribes, and loudly protested.

The scribe smiled coldly and said: "Identity has a fart use? If the bloodline can represent everything, then the world is directly divided into high and low according to the bloodline, what is the use of fighting? The Great Qin Shi Huang was once a commoner, according to your opinion, this Great Qin State should not exist! These three articles must be observed, if you don't want to, you can go home now, I will give you half an hour to consider." ”

After that, Shi Shiran turned around and took the three martial artists back to the clan school.

There was immediate chaos in the field.

A richly dressed young man's face turned red, and he said angrily: "How can this be reasonable! What a great shame and shame for me to wait for me to practice in the same room with these untouchables! I will never obey it!" After that, he waved his hand at him and said, "Everyone, I will go back and inform the elders of this matter, if the clan school does not change this order, I will not enter the school, and I will leave!"

After saying that, he turned around and rushed away.

"Yes, we will go to report to the family elders together, if we don't change this rule, we will not enroll in school! Hmph, of course, the main body of the Xiang family depends on us as direct heirs to inherit, find a group of collateral children and untouchables, can we take on the future of the Xiang family?!"

Many others went away in a rage.

The faces of the side disciples and the descendants of the subordinates were ugly.

They never imagined that these direct descendants of the Xiang family would look down on them so much, and even regard it as an extremely shameful thing to practice in the same room with them.

Xiang Bin stood silent in the crowd, if he talked about it, he relied on the relationship between the second uncle to stand among these side children. But if you really count it, he is not even a subordinate heir, and his father is just a blacksmith in a poor mountain village.

He has no sense of shame in his heart, after all, he comes from a relatively equal and free world, and he has no sense of substitution for these high and low statuses.

There is only one feeling in my heart, and that is ridiculous, ridiculous!

How stupid! If everyone in the Xiang family's direct family is like this, then the strength of this family is probably in vain.

An hour later, most of the direct descendants were gone, but there were still some left, still standing still.

They did not speak, nor did they sneer, but there was also an undisguised pride in their expressions.

But there are also a very small number of direct children, who look calm and calm, as if they disdain this kind of identity dispute.

The tests have finally begun.
