Chapter 4 Ganzhou Longchang Dart Bureau
At the foot of the Ganzhou Mountains.
Ganzhou City.
There are a total of eight main streets in Ganzhou City, which divides the entire Ganzhou City into fifteen squares.
Among the 12 squares on the periphery, Longchang Square is the most prosperous.
There are three dart bureaus in Ganzhou City, which go to the darts in the South China Sea area.
Sixteen-year-old Ma Dakui is one of the apprentices in Longchang Fang, Longchang Dart Bureau.
Longchang Dart Bureau is not only a dart game, but also the largest refining shop in Ganzhou City.
Ma Dakui is an apprentice at the Longchang Refinery Shop.
This is still the two taels of silver that my father has saved from chopping wood for more than ten years, and came in through the back door.
Otherwise, the shop would normally only admit apprentices under the age of fourteen.
He's over the age mark.
But as long as you come in and become an apprentice, you don't have to worry about food and clothing.
This is also the only chance that Ma's father can help his son change his life against the sky.
Because the refining shop belongs to the Longchang Dart Bureau.
It was a real Jianghu sect, and it was full of martial artists.
In today's Zhengyang world, warriors are respected!
The status of a warrior is above all professions.
Even those scholars are masters, and now they all depend on the snort of the warrior.
This is still in the land of the South China Sea, and the scholars still have the support of those scholars, so they can be five or five with the warriors.
Otherwise, the situation will only get worse.
Ma Dakui's family was poor, and in order to let the children in the family live, he had to give away one of the twins.
Ma Dakui is the elder brother of the twins.
Ma Da Kuisheng's big bones, long hands and long feet, big hands and big feet, are good seedlings for practicing martial arts.
It's a pity that the Ma family is just a poor household in the mountains, and they can't afford to cultivate it at all.
Poor and rich!
For the sake of Ma Dakui's future, Ma's father could only do everything possible to send Ma Dakui into the Longchang refining shop.
Although the apprentice has no salary, he has the opportunity to be selected to enter the Longchang Dart Bureau to practice martial arts.
The apprenticeship period is six years, and if the apprentice cannot be selected to enter the dart game when he is twenty years old, he can only choose to work as a blacksmith in the Longchang refining shop for a lifetime or go out to find another way.
And Ma Dakui's time is only four years!
In the first year, Ma Dakui became a helper in the house because he was too thin.
The skeleton is large, but it is useless.
Not even as strong as a thirteen-year-old boy who had only been an apprentice for one year.
Although Ma Dakui was born poor, his mind is lively, and he is not at all the simple and big man his name seems.
Ma Dakui helped his family sell firewood in the city since he was a child, and he developed a mouth that can speak and understand, as well as the ability to observe words and colors.
Because the most powerful speaker in the room is Chef Han, who is in charge, Ma Dakui follows Chef Han, and goes up to slap the horse whenever he has the opportunity.
Chef Han was soaked by this soft grinding, and gradually fell in love with this big man.
The little oil and water leaking from his fingers made Ma Dakui seem to be a different person after a year, although he still looked like he had a big skeleton and little meat.
But in fact, his strength is more than twice as strong as a year ago.
He is also a head taller than before.
The body looks thin, but in fact it is strong.
The Longchang refining shop is assessed once a year, and only three people can be selected into the Longchang dart game every year.
And the indicators of assessment are, to put it bluntly, talent.
Can you succeed in raising qi?
Can you open up the six meridians?
Every time a small martial artist opens up a meridian, he needs a lot of preparation.
To open up the meridians, you need to have a good enough physical fitness, otherwise you won't be able to endure the pain and fatigue of opening the meridians.
And there is a chance of failure to open up the meridians.
In case of failure, the force is not accurate. If the meridians are broken, the person may be useless.
Warriors like them can only rely on themselves.
It even takes a bit of luck.
The Longchang Dart Bureau requires that at least two meridians be opened.
That is, the first time to enter the small realm.
Because at least two veins can form the shortest internal force flow small Zhoutian.
Ma Dakui just made up his body in the first year, and it was still early to open up the meridians.
He came in with the son of a merchant named Lu Tong in Ganzhou City.
is the same as Ma Dakui, with five big and three thick.
However, because of business at home, I was already fat and round when I came in.
It may be that there is enough silver, and the manager of the refining shop taught him the method of opening the first meridian at the beginning.
Although Lu Tong still has to work, he can already cultivate in his spare time.
In fact, it is to explore the sense of qi, and with the sense of qi, it can be used to open up the meridians.
This day was the first selection day after Ma Dakui came to the refining shop.
Of the nearly 100 apprentices in the refining shop, only fifteen were qualified to participate in the selection.
Only by opening up the two veins can you be eligible.
Although Ma Dakui is not eligible to participate in the selection, he can also go to see the excitement together.
You can also see how this selection works.
Ma Dakui and Lu Tong have a good relationship, and the latter did not despise each other because of their better backgrounds, but supported each other.
Ma Dakui's talent is better than Lu Tong's, and he is also more assiduous.
Lu Tong's foundation is good, and Ma Dakui has to catch up with Ma Dakui for a few years just because of his fitness.
On the martial arts arena formed by the huge yellow mud.
The three coaches of the Longchang Dart Bureau are this year's examiners, and I heard that they are all powerful martial artists at the peak of Xiaocheng Realm.
Beginner achievements are eligible to enter the dart game, and then they will be cultivated by the dart game, and there will be more resources.
The assessment method is also simple and straightforward.
The fifteen apprentices of the Longchang Refinery Shop were divided into three groups by lot.
Each group of five people fights in a melee, and the last one wins.
Because the Huangni martial arts arena is large enough, the three groups of people who are divided into groups play at the same time.
The rest of the apprentices, the fellows of the refining shop, the forger, and even the old Han who was in charge gathered on the periphery, discussing their favorite characters.
When Ma Dakui saw Lao Han, he immediately took Lu Cheng away, and sure enough, he got some good things from Lao Han.
A handful of fried melon seeds.
While eating, Ma Dakui listened to the discussion of others.
He has only been here for a year, and he has no time to get to know other people except to work on weekdays.
This is the only opportunity he has to learn about the outside world, and he cherishes it.
"There is Ling Tong in Group A, and the second pulse was opened last year, but I have waited for a year, and maybe now the third pulse has been opened. I think he can get a spot. ”
"That's not necessarily, Tong Jiaotou's brother-in-law is also in that group, and now Tong Jiaotou is one of the examiners, I think Ling Tong is hanging!"
"Even if the head of the children's education is there, it is the comparison of who stands in the end."
"That's right, there is no suspense in Group A, and I also stand in Lingtong!"
"Hahaha, Group A is not interesting, look at Group B.
The brothers Chen Xiaoer and Chen Xiaosan were divided into a group.
The brothers are also lucky! ”
"How can you say this, two brothers can enter at most one, this is still luck?"
"If the two brothers join forces, they will be able to take it, isn't that good?
It's good to be able to get one.
And as long as one of his two brothers enters, the other can also get some benefits.
These brothers are only nineteen this year, and they still have a chance next year! ”
"Hey, I said you didn't use your brain?
What can we think of, who participated in the selection can't think of?
I think that although the Chen brothers can join forces. But the others are not stupid, and there are three other people, in order to prevent the Chen brothers from joining forces, they must not be kicked out first. ”
"Who did I say, it was so thoroughly analyzed, it turned out to be Master Han.
Master Han, these three apprentices entered the dart game today, and the shopkeeper must let you prepare a big banquet, let me reveal it to the old brother, what are you eating today? ”
When it came to eating, a few guys of the older generation in the refining shop, and the refiners began to squeeze around Lao Han, and Ma Dakui was squeezed out.
When I came to the apprentices, everyone didn't have so much analysis, and everyone chatted about the players they were close to.
"The land soldiers will win!"
"What are you talking about, my eldest brother Tian De will definitely win!"
"Both of them are too weak, they have to be my big brother Lingtong!"
"What do you say? Scoundrel! ”
"I said your big brother is too weak!"
"Grass!"
"Humph!"
"The selection competition is over, don't run, there is a kind of stay and fight with Lao Tzu!"
"Hmph, who's afraid of whom, don't slip away by yourself when the time comes."
Ma Dakui and Lu Tong listened silently.
That's what the refinery looks like.
Each courtyard has its own leading brother, and no one obeys each other.
There are five major areas in the refining shop, and the front yard is basically in several shops in Ganzhou City to help apprentices, and there will be more free time for cultivation on weekdays.
And the oil and water are also quite sufficient.
The left courtyard is a warehouse, where all the raw materials and finished products are stored. The left courtyard is a first-class quiet place, but there is not so much oil and water compared to the front yard.
These two places are the two places that apprentices want to visit the most.
The middle courtyard is a place to receive guests, and there are relatively few apprentices, but because they have to contact the shopkeeper and guests at any time, they are basically some smart and clever henchmen.
It doesn't seem to be beneficial, but in fact, the benefits behind it are no less than those in the front yard and the left yard.
This is the core of the refining shop in the right courtyard, and more than half of the apprentices are really here.
There are masters who are responsible for refining all kinds of weapons, farm tools, jewelry, and so on.
Of course, this world is also divided into several areas.
It's a hard place, but it's a great place to get fit.
As for the final backyard, the apprentices who can be here basically come in through the back door, stuffed with silver but not much attention.
After all, the world of martial artists values talent more.
Without talent, no amount of silver you have, it will be for nothing.
The backyard is basically full of chores, carrying water, cooking, laundry, sweeping and so on.
Ma Dakui is the one who is responsible for carrying water and sweeping the floor.
It's just that he was favored by Lao Han, the head of the room, because of his mouth, so he was exempted from sweeping the floor and went to the kitchen to help.
In this way, life is much easier, and the food is better.
Lu Tong washes clothes, but he is responsible for washing the clothes of the brothers in the left courtyard.
Compared to the laundry in the right courtyard, it is much better.
This side is through the back door, even if it costs money, you have to work, but Lu Tong can get a few words from the steward occasionally.
Because of his good relationship with Ma Dakui, Lu Tong did not hide it, and told Ma Dakui everything he had learned.
"Apprentice prepare! The joust begins! ”
With a roar full of energy, Ma Dakui was pulled back into his thoughts.
The arena has been divided into three areas.
Among the five people on the left, there is the most optimistic Ling Tong.
The protagonists in the middle are undoubtedly the Chen brothers.
There are no famous characters on the right, but for Ma Dakui, they are all enough characters for him to look up to.
Probably his greatest wish in life is to be one of these people.
"Malaysia, we will definitely be able to stand on this test bench too!
If I'm on a team with you, we'll have to pretend we don't know each other.
And then sweep through the others! ”
Lu Tong's face turned red beside Ma Dakui.
Because in just a few breaths, there are people eliminated from the three competition venues.
Especially the one of the Chen brothers.
Sure enough, the two brothers were targeted by the other three.
Chen Xiaoer was besieged, Chen Xiaosan wanted to relieve his brother from the siege, who would have thought that the three of them would have targeted him.
The three of them shot together, and the two of them held heavy hammers, which directly smashed Chen Xiaosan and vomited blood and exited.
Chen Xiaoer's teeth were about to crack, but he was targeted by three people, and he had no choice but to surrender.
As soon as they got on the field, they eliminated two people directly after only two or three breaths.
And Chen Xiaosan was seriously injured, and Ma Dakui could see that he was still vomiting blood when he was carried down.
There were pieces of blood in the spitting out, maybe some fragments of internal organs......
The world of martial artists is truly cruel.
All the people on the field are beginners who have entered the Xiaocheng Realm through the second vein.
In just a few moments, the winner was decided in the middle of the competition.
An apprentice in the front yard, burly, a head taller than Ma Dakui.
I knew that although Ma Dakui was thin and weak, he had a huge skeleton, and he was a leader among his peers.
But this person is taller and stronger.
"A good embryo born to practice the body!"
The old man among the three Longchang Dart Bureau leaders who came to watch the battle said.
Although he has the name of the head of the sect, because he is too old and has a serious loss of qi and blood, his cultivation has long since disappeared.
Because he has a lot of experience and an extremely accurate eye, he can come here.
At this time, seeing that there was a winner in the middle of the competition, he immediately made his own judgment.
People who are naturally suitable for practicing physical skills are actually the most favored among the low-level martial artists.
In fact, if a sect as small as Longchang Dart Bureau is, even if he encounters a disciple with a talent against the sky, he will not be able to give him the best training.
If they really meet such a disciple, maybe they will recommend him to a more powerful sect in exchange for some benefits.
But it will definitely not be cultivated on its own.
On the contrary, it is a disciple who is naturally suitable for physical training.
It doesn't take much resources to cultivate them, and the level they can achieve is also within the expectations of the sect.
All in all, get the highest return at the lowest cost.
Therefore, after the victory of the burly apprentice, the old man told him what he was doing, and the other two immediately smiled with satisfaction.
On the martial arts arena on the left, although Ling Tong was also besieged by four people as soon as he came up, the situation was even worse than that of the Chen family brothers.
But he revealed that he had opened up the three veins of super strength.
He seemed to be only eighteen years old.
In a place like Longchang Refinery Shop to open up the three veins, his talent is definitely good.
And this kind of good, it is exactly in the category that Longchang Dart Bureau needs, and it is also a first-class existence.
The old man didn't have to say anything this time, and the other two already knew that they had picked up another good seedling.
"I didn't expect to be able to recruit two talented people this year.
After these two boys go back, I don't know if they will be accepted as disciples by a few dart heads. ”
Longchang dart game, the highest status is, of course, the total dart head.
Below the total dart head are several dart heads and several coaches.
It stands to reason that the status of the dart head and the head of the dart is not much the same, but the head of the dart can be the head of the coach, but the head of the head of the dart may not necessarily be the head of the dart.
The dart head needs not only strength, but also the experience of walking the rivers and lakes and some ability to behave in the world.
Therefore, the position of the dart head of the Longchang dart board is a little above the head of the coach.
Generally speaking, apprentices recruited have the opportunity to apprentice after entering the dart game.
Of course, the head of the sect is not among the objects of apprenticeship.
The task of the head of the sect is to teach martial arts.
The head of the dart needs to be outside.
Therefore, this is also the most different place between the dart game and other sect gangs in the rivers and lakes.
It is the head of the teacher who teaches martial arts, but the head of the dart who apprentices.
Now three places, two places have appeared. The last suspense was left in the last martial arts arena.
Because there were no particularly powerful characters in the martial arts arena on the far right, the five people in the arena were fighting separately and were wary of each other.
No one wants to be the first to jump out and be the first to be the first bird.
This has also led to the results of the other two martial arts arenas, and there is still a stalemate here.
But after all, there are also distant relatives in the refining shop.
There are two disciples in the front courtyard and two middle courtyards in this martial arts arena, but the remaining one is from the right courtyard.
Lu Tong dealt with the other party and immediately recognized the other party.
"It's Sun Zhanshan!"
"What, Lu Tong, do you know that person?"
Ma Dakui asked, he looked at that Sun Zhanshan, who looked like a monkey, tall and thin with long hands and long feet.
By this time, he had already been besieged by two other groups of people.
The situation is also simple.
The two people in the front yard and the two people in the middle yard joined forces separately, and they all fought with the idea of solving the people in the other yards first, and then the two people in the same yard would have a duel.
And the only thing that needs to be solved first is the right courtyard
Sun Zhanshan.
And Sun Zhanshan was not stupid, and began to pull up constantly.
Of course, his cultivation is also the first to enter the Xiaocheng realm to open up the second vein, but he is extremely flexible, and at the same time, some methods seem to be able to anticipate the opportunity, and he can always avoid the outflanking and encirclement of the other four.
"Sun Zhanshan has a good temperament, I have dealt with him a few times, and he is relatively kind.
He has been practicing for a longer time than us, and he doesn't have the appearance of being superior to others, and he even mentioned me once.
If I had to get one person into this group, I would have wanted him. ”
"Well, if that's the case, I'd like him to get in."
Ma Dakui nodded and said seriously.
The refining shop is a very realistic place, and the front yard and the middle yard look down on other yards. The most despised is their backyard.
On weekdays, they are high, as if their identity is not an apprentice, and they can always find a sense of superiority in themselves and others.
Of course, because they have more free time and more time to practice, they are indeed stronger overall.
But just like now, even if the environment they are in is better than the others, the other courtyards can still produce a strong man who can defeat their arrogance.
Just like Sun Zhanshan now, he constantly pulled flexibly, causing the formation of the four to be completely scattered.
