Imperial Capital Chapter 2 Descending the Mountain and Entering the Army
Liu Xin was really busy, because the Great Dynasty Meeting began, and as a grand event of the righteous martial arts, the Holy Sect held a Great Dynasty Meeting every five years.
He, the great disciple of the Holy Sect, has a lot of things to do, and he needs to be used to maintain law and order, and to usher in and send him around.
Yesterday, this guy Xuesheng told him that Ah Li was coming back, and all of a sudden everything was stacked together, making him so busy jumping up and down.
Fortunately, he had a helper back, the fourth descendant of the Holy Sect, Yan Chun, the famous "Sword Immortal" in martial arts, had traveled abroad for five years and finally returned.
At the last court meeting, Liu Xin's job was Yan Chun was responsible, so Liu Xin welcomed the return of his senior brother with grateful, and the moment he saw his senior brother, Liu Xin was so excited that he burst into tears.
"Ahhh Senior brother, you're finally back! ”
Yan Chun's long hair was simply tied behind his head, and he was wearing an ordinary green shirt, without the slightest demeanor of a martial arts master, and he didn't see his sword.
Seeing Liu Xin who pounced on him all of a sudden, Yan Chun smiled helplessly, when he left, Liu Xin was still a half-grown child, and now he is already a young man.
"Okay, master, what about his old man, I'll go and see him first, and then I'll come back and drink with you. When I left, you were too young to drink, but now when you grow up, you can have two drinks with your senior brother! ”
Liu Xin wiped a handful of tears from Yan Chun's clean clothes, jumped off the latter's body, and then smiled awkwardly:
"More on the drinking later. Senior brother, since you're back, can you help me watch the day's pilgrimage? ”
Yan Chun feigned anger and said: "Why do you have to be lazy as soon as I come back, this is the task assigned to you by the master, don't you know what the end of stealing and playing tricks will be?" ”
Liu Xin immediately stuck to Yan Chun's body again, so that Yan Chun was not disgusting.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, why are you so clingy!"
"Hey, brother! I happened to have something to do today, Ah Li is back, and I have to go and catch her up. ”
"Hey, she's out of customs. Well, since that's the case, then you can go, senior brother will help you watch for a day. By the way, since Ah Li is back, let her return to the Holy Sect, although she is a disciple of the Demon Venerable, she is also the daughter of my Holy Sect! Come back and let's see, the Demon Venerable has taught with all his heart. ”
"Okay, brother! Thank you, brother! Senior brother, good people, have a safe life! ”
After that, Liu Xin ran away directly.
In a hidden corner, there were already six people waiting for him here, and when he saw Liu Xin appear, Gou San'er couldn't help but ask:
"Did Senior Brother Yan Chun agree?"
Gou San'er's expression was a little nervous, and the other five people also had nervous expressions on their faces.
Liu Xin smiled, stretched out his thumb and shook it: "With me out of the horse, everything is done!" ”
"Yay!"
"Awesome!"
"Worthy of being a senior brother!"
Liu Xin smiled and accepted the compliment from his brothers, and then the group of seven people left the mountainside where the Holy Sect was located non-stop and went straight to the top of Tianyun Peak.
There, Xue Sheng and Ah Li should have been waiting for them.
When Yan Chun was about to accept Liu Xin's work, he reluctantly found that Liu Xin not only gave him his own work, but even left the work of Xiong Er and Dog San'er's group of rabbit cubs to him.
To put it bluntly, the Great Pilgrimage of the Holy Sect is a gathering between the Righteous Path sects, and this tradition has continued for nearly a hundred years.
During the Great Dynasty Meeting, each sect will send a large number of people to the Holy Sect to communicate, and the various sects will learn from each other, communicate with each other, and enhance understanding, which is an activity that is beneficial to all sects.
Although since the establishment of Emperor Wu City, it has become the second sect of the righteous path in one fell swoop, and after purifying the martial arts with the help of the power of the imperial court, the number of martial arts sects has decreased dramatically. But new forces have sprung up like mushrooms, and what Emperor Wu City has done has indeed given martial arts a positive atmosphere.
Therefore, except for the great court meeting after Emperor Wu City just cleaned the martial arts, it was relatively deserted, and the next few great court meetings were still very prosperous. Even Emperor Martial City would give the Holy Sect a little thin noodles, and the upper echelons of Emperor Martial Emperor City were present.
After all, it is a conference to promote the harmonious development of martial arts, and the fact that Emperor Wu City also came to participate means that the court behind it is actually happy to see this kind of conference held.
The main reason for the prohibition of chivalry is the lack of restraint and the strength of the individual is too strong.
In addition to communication, the Great Dynasty will also have an important function of electing the martial arts leaders of the various provinces of the empire to supervise the local area instead of the entire righteous martial arts.
Of course, it goes without saying that the martial arts leader of Zhongzhou Province is the Holy Sect, and the martial arts leader of Shanxi Province is the Martial Emperor City. As for the remaining twenty provinces, they need to be elected at each great court meeting.
As for the method of promotion, it is also very simple, that is, the competition between contemporary disciples.
This contemporary disciple refers to the younger generation of disciples who are no more than twenty-five years old, all of whom compete and compete under the watchful eyes of the sect leaders and elders of all sects, and the sect where the winner is located can become the leader of the martial arts in a province.
This is not only an honor, but more importantly, the martial arts leader of a province can be supported by the Holy Sect and the Martial Emperor City. For some small sects, the Holy Sect and Martial Emperor City were both existences above several levels, and with the help of these two top-level sects, they would be able to develop very quickly.
Wulin is actually also a society, where there is a society, there will be a class, and with a class, there will be people who continue to climb upward.
Liu Xin's work was actually done very well, not throwing the whole stall to Yan Chun, but some finishing work. Yan Chun has presided over two court meetings, and this is the third time, and he has a lot of experience.
All the work, including the work of Xiong Er and the six of them, was completed in only half a day in Yan Chun's hands. On the night of Yan Chun's return, he could already stand in the wind outside his room facing the sea of clouds, looking at the sparks in the fair town under the mountain, and those sparks were reflected in his eyes, his expression was sometimes gloomy, sometimes painful, sometimes relieved.
There was no sad scene in the reunion of Liu Xin and Liu Li, and the two seemed to have never been separated for a long time.
"My Ah Li has grown taller, hahaha, but my brother is taller. You'll never touch the top of my head again! Liu Xin's first words when he saw Liu Li were this, because Ah Li developed fast when he was a child, and he was always half a head taller than him, and then the top of Liu Xin's head suffered, and he was rubbed by Ah Li all the time, which made him extremely unhappy for a while.
Liu Li's height will be more than five feet (165cm), which is considered tall. The retreat may have been hotter during these years, and the skin is no longer as fair as it was when it was a teenager, but rather a healthy wheat color. The eyes are big and bright, the hair is tied up high, and the first glance gives people the impression of heroic posture.
"Hmph, my stupid brother, you have finally grown taller, but unfortunately you are still not as tall as your senior brother."
Liu Li didn't go back to Liu Xin, but in fact, Liu Xin's height was extremely tall and well-proportioned, no matter where he was, he was a beautiful son. The height of 5 feet 6 inches (185cm) is only half a head shorter than Xue Sheng's height of 5 feet 8 inches (191cm).
Liu Xin smiled and pressed his hand on the top of Liu Li's head to counterattack, Liu Li directly punched Liu Xin's armpit, and then the two began to go back and forth, and after a few moves, the two began to use internal force again, and soon hit the real fire again.
Liu Xin punched Liu Li's eye socket, Liu Li kicked Liu Xin's lower abdomen, if he hadn't finally regained his strength, Liu Xin would have entered the palace as a eunuch.
Xue Sheng watched silently from the sidelines, he wanted to see how much Liu Xin's strength had grown in the past few years, and the two had not fought each other for a long time.
Liu Xinliu left the brothers and sisters on fire, and almost didn't leave half of their faces in one move, and they didn't dare to squeak when they saw Xiong Er.
Among them, except for Xiong Er and Dog San'er, who have seen Liu Li, the rest of them have never seen Liu Li, but at this moment, Liu Li's status is directly fixed at the peak. They honored Ah Li in their hearts!
"Brother Xuesheng, is it really okay for them to fight like this?" Xiao Qi, who had relatively weak psychological endurance, timidly came to Xue Sheng's side and asked in a low voice.
Xue Sheng smiled and touched Xiao Qi's head, and said in a gentle voice:
"Since Ah Li chose to become a disciple of the Demon Venerable, Liu Xin and Ah Li have not dealt with each other, and they have fought as soon as they meet. But it's also a way for the two of them to get along. It's all in the middle of the box. Don't worry, if you look at the fierce fight, you will be fine. ”
Sure enough, not long after Xue Sheng comforted Xiao Qi, Liu Xinliu's back and forth change of hands from his brother and sister began to be gentle, after all, the monkey that could be used when he was a child to steal peaches can't be used now, and he can't use it to smash Huanglong.
Ah Li has grown up!
This is Liu Xin's biggest emotion, many parts can no longer start, which makes Liu Xin unable to let go of his hands and feet, especially his face! When I was a child, I didn't care about it, and after the fight, my face was always blue and swollen, and I couldn't look at it. Now that Liu Li is a big girl, she can't slap her face.
My brother has become weaker!
This is Liu Li's thoughts, she feels that her brother has regressed greatly, she has already collected three points of strength, but she can be on par with her brother. When she was a child, she had to take out the strength to eat milk to maintain her undefeated!
In the end, in order to save face for his brother, Liu Li turned over and fell to the ground after exchanging punches with Liu Xin, which frightened Liu Xin, but he immediately found that Liu Li's breath was stable and did not seem to be injured, he immediately reacted, this is his sister is giving himself face as a brother.
I was happy in my heart, and my face was shy.
"Hahahaha, you haven't been in much retreat over the years."
Liu Li got up with Xue Sheng's support, looked at Liu Xin's smug face, and suddenly leaned down and saluted and said:
"Brother is powerful, Liu Li is not an opponent!"
Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, and then cold sweat flowed wildly, Ah Li was suddenly so polite to him, it made Liu Xin feel like falling into an ice cave.
The atmosphere at the scene was frozen to the extreme.
"Okay, the prepared stove is going to be extinguished, you two can be regarded as greeting each other, let's eat first, and then talk about it later!" Xue Sheng waved his hand, and Liu Xin's six junior disciples immediately went to the small pavilion from the good. In today's pavilion, a layer of white veil wraps around the pillars outside the pavilion, simply blocking the wind.
Before entering the pavilion, Ah Li came to Liu Xin's side and whispered:
"Brother, you have become weaker, I will protect you in the future, sister!"
After speaking, Ah Li flicked the braid on his head and entered the pavilion. Leaving Liu Xin alone to eat outside for a long time, the cold wind was blowing.
After the banquet to welcome Ah Li was dispersed, Liu Xin and his six junior disciples returned to the Holy Sect. As for Liu Li, he will stay in the Evil Sect for a few days, and then he will personally bring gifts to visit the Holy Sect Master.
The next seven days were all the great court meetings, although Liu Xin was responsible for organizing this conference, but when the big court meeting really started, he became an idler. Just outside Dabi, when it was lively, Liu Xin was called to the Holy Sect's big study by the patriarch.
The big study room is the core of the Holy Sect, and there are millions of books in it, only a very small part of it is martial arts cheats, and the rest are all kinds of miscellaneous books. In these books, there are mountains, rivers and rivers, dynasties and dynasties, and everything in the world. Liu Xin once joked that this place didn't look like a martial arts sect, but like a academy.
It is true that Liu Xin and the disciples who have been carefully selected to enter the inner gate of the Holy Sect, everyone has to study, and the requirements are not low!
When Liu Xin came to the big study, he found that Xiong Er, who was supposed to maintain law and order at the scene of the Great Dynasty Meeting, was also there, as well as a few senior brothers of the Tianzi generation.
It can be said that as long as it is the Tianzi Sect who stays in the Holy Sect, the inner disciples of the Dizi Sect are all in the big study room at the moment.
And Yan Chun, the senior brother of the disciples of the Tianzi generation, leaned against the bookshelf, holding his arms and pretending to sleep.
The one who held the meeting for them was Zhai Xuanjing, the patriarch of the Holy Sect Elder Council.
This senior is from Master Liu Xin's generation, a real old-timer, but Zhai Xuanjing is still black at the age of eighty, and there are only some gray traces in the black hair in the past two years. Such a person spends his days in retreat at the higher levels of Tianyun Peak, or goes out to travel.
This group of talents is the foundation for the Holy Sect to truly become the first sect of the righteous path.
Although Emperor Wu City is the second, it does not have this kind of heritage that takes hundreds of years to conceive, and it can also be called confidence!
Zhai Xuanjing's body is very hard, his back is straight, and his face is solemn.
When he saw everyone, he didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point:
"You have been called here today to announce a decision made by the Senate in consultation with the Suzerain. After the conclusion of this Holy Sect Pilgrimage, the Holy Sect will close the mountain.
And you disciples all have to enter the office, of course, this entry is not only to join the Zhengyang court, but also to other industries.
The reason for letting you join the ranks is also very simple, the Senate and the Sect Master discovered that the Zhengyang Dynasty is in the twilight of the Western Mountains through the intelligence of the secret investigation team, and this decline is not the prosperity and decline of the past, but a real decline towards extinction.
In order to protect our Holy Sect Yongchang, we made this decision together.
Your entry is not to hope to save this country, but to support the Holy Sect one day in the future, when the Zhengyang Dynasty really collapses, it is not only the path of martial arts that can support the Holy Sect.
Of course, you can choose the path you want to take, and the covert investigation team will support you.
As a word of advice, don't think about going out of the way yourself, it's hard. Especially on the eve of the destruction of the empire, the whole world was in chaos.
Unless one of you is an ambitious traitor, the king.
But what I know about you, it seems that there are no such people among you! ”
Patriarch Zhai Xuanjing's words were very fast, almost without any pause, as if he had poured a large basin of ice water straight on everyone's faces and then turned around and left, without giving room for reaction.
After slowing down for a long time, Liu Xin, who came back to his senses, wanted to ask something, but found that Zhai Xuanjing was gone.
Instead, Yan Chun was holding a stack of books, the top one of which was sealed with yellow paper, and there was a seal lacquer at the seal, which was made by the Holy Sect's secret method, which could ensure the secrecy of this document.
Liu Xin knew at a glance that these were the top-secret documents of the Holy Sect, and only the patriarchs could check them except for his master on weekdays.
"Well, I know you guys have a lot of questions. Elder Zhai came to inform you this time, to show how much attention the sect attaches to this operation.
I'll answer your specific questions.
What I have in my hands is some of the secret arrangements of the secret investigation team over the years, and you have to rely on these things if you want to enter the office.
Next, I'll go into the Backrooms, and if you have anything to think about, you can come to me first.
Remember!
You can only choose the road once, and think clearly which way you want to go. Of course, if you have any doubts, I will also answer them, there is plenty of time, you can think slowly! ”
Yan Chun went to the back room, leaving nearly twenty people standing on the ground and looking at each other.
