True qi surged up to the wound and Shu was alive and bloody, Pei Ye led the horse out of the casino and walked towards the inn pointed out by passers-by again.

This time he finally found the right place, looking at the polished pillars in front of the door, the somewhat loose gate, and the dusty windows of old wood, Pei Ye squinted with satisfaction - this was the inn in his mind.

"Little Er, lead the horse!" Pei Ye shouted.

"Eh-wait a minute-" A long and loud response came from the room, Pei Li stood outside the threshold and waited for a while, before Xiao Er wiped his sweat and trotted out - this kind of slackness that was not short or long was also familiar to Pei Li.

"The guest officer wants accommodation?" Xiao Er took the reins.

"yes, how much does it cost a night?"

"Thirty texts are all over! There is only one room left, please stay in 100 Wen! The ground number is 200 Wen hot water prepared every night, and the day number 400 Wen has soup and herbal tea in the morning and evening, but there are orders, on call! Xiao Erkou finished the report clearly, and led the horse to say, "Our horse is really handsome, this can't be wronged, right?" ”

"Horses deserve the best care." Pei Li said, "Then I want the rest of the characters." ”

"You also have 200 Wen, it is better to give you a discount, 250 Wen, the horse is still the top grid, and I will change the font size for you."

"No, so be it."

"Okay." Xiao Er led the horse back, "Please go to the shopkeeper and write down the book." ”

Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence - he had stayed in the inn twice.

Pei Li just wanted to ask, but saw that Xiao Er had already led the horse to the backyard, so he simply stepped through the door.

When he came to the cabinet, the shopkeeper was lying on the table with a candle burning and flipping through an account book, Pei Ye knocked on the table gently: "The shopkeeper, I am a resident, and Xiao Er said that he wanted to write down the book." ”

The shopkeeper glanced up at him, pushed the account book open, and picked up another book with a blackened cover from the side. Turning to a blank page, he dipped his pen in ink, the tip of the pen hanging on the paper, and lowered his head to write.

Pei Ye looked at him seriously.

It was quiet for two breaths.

The shopkeeper raised his head and frowned: "Say." ”

"Say what?" Pei Ye was stunned, "Oh, that, I live in a human name." ”

Who cares what you live in, register the information."

"What's the message?"

"Who is your surname, where does you live, why did you come from and where you are going, who dares to accept you, you have never lived in a hotel?"

"I've stayed out of town for two nights, and it's no such thing."

"Outside is outside, let's talk about it." The first line was already wet with ink, and the shopkeeper started another line.

Pei Ye said truthfully, the shopkeeper wrote them down one by one, and after stopping his pen, he looked up at Pei Ye and said: "The little brother is a martial arts competition, I wish you a good martial arts." ”

"Thank you."

The shopkeeper took out a key from under the counter and tied a small wooden sign with the room number written on it.

Pei Li took it, and at this time, a strong man with a big waist and a round waist came from behind and put a dark iron sign on the counter. He said in a rough voice: "Ground size." ”

The shopkeeper picked up the sign, looked at it, handed it back, took another key from underneath and handed it to him.

The strong man went upstairs with a "bang", Pei Ye stood in place and watched him go up, and asked the shopkeeper curiously: "Shopkeeper, why doesn't he have to register?" ”

The shopkeeper had already reopened the account book, but when he heard this, he raised his head and examined him up and down twice, frowning: "You are really here to fight the martial arts competition?" ”

"yes."

"You bring me the paperwork."

Pei Li took out the paperwork, put it under the candle and read it carefully, and said to himself: "It's true." ”

handed it back to him: "I've all fought martial arts competitions, why don't I know anything, it's the same as drilling out of the mountains." ”

“.” Pei Ye put away the paperwork, "What was that brand just now?" ”

"Cultivator, Iron Fish Talisman."

"Oh!" This Pei Ye really knows.

I remember that Master Huang had always wanted to get one, and Master Zheng had one, but he never showed them it.

This is a proof of a warrior's life.

Since a martial artist practices martial arts, he must be useful in martial arts, but the "employer" who uses martial arts must also weigh the strength of the cultivator, which is a troublesome thing before the appearance of the cultivator, and the cultivator issued by the Xianrentai is to help everyone complete the "evaluation" link.

The "evaluation" of Xianrentai includes many aspects such as cultivation, martial arts, and actual combat, and finally synthesizes a general level, and awards the Mozi according to this level.

Because Xianrentai is strong and rigorous enough, this little piece is authoritative enough. Today, more than 30 years after the implementation of this policy, such a certificate has basically represented the "entry into the house" and even "fame" in the public perception.

Many people with average talent who practice martial arts, the end of one or two decades of struggle is this iron fish talisman. Some well-known dart game martial arts halls recruit dart masters, and often use this as the first threshold.

Xianrentai's definite word for the fish talisman is "swimming in the rivers and lakes, dispelling shrimp leeches", holding this talisman can pass without hindering the Tang Dynasty, and the military affairs should be taken care of first, and at any time can be pledged ten taels of silver in any official bank.

Further up are the Bronze Sparrow Talisman and the Silver Falcon Talisman, and when you step through the realm of eight lives and arrive at the Xuanmen Jade Level, this assessment is dispensable-where can the weakest grandmaster be?

So at this time, you can almost directly get the "Xuanyu Crane Talisman" - when Shen Yanping talked about Jing Ziwang's strength before, he said that he was "Xuanhe Hanging Clothes", which is an elegant way of saying that he has entered the realm of Xuanmen.

"The previous martial arts competitions will give the first sixteen reissued chivalrous horses, and the little brother can come to play the martial arts competition at such an age, and he is also young and promising, sooner or later, an iron caviar will definitely not be able to run." The shopkeeper encouraged, "What is the cultivation of the little brother now?" ”

"For a lifetime."

"Oh well, stay safe."

Pei Ye went upstairs and walked into the room, lit a candle, and put his luggage one by one.

The size of the person is indeed smaller, but fortunately, Pei Ye is also a person and a cat, and to be honest, this bed is better than the one at home, at least it is very stable after lying down, and it is not swaying at all.

Pei Ye stretched out, sat cross-legged on the bed, and took out the old two again-the sword box and the cicada finch swordsmanship.

"Cicada Sword" is only the last two moves that have not been dismantled thoroughly, after reading it tonight, you can start to practice it tomorrow; The dark blue in the Heart-Splitting Glass has finally disappeared a little visibly, and his own meridian tree will also enter the next stage under its offerings.

Only Pei Ye lifted the kitten, and it was relatively listless for the past two days.

A pair of blue eyes looked at him faintly, and under this gaze, he was too embarrassed to ask when the blood would come again.

"If you want something to eat, let's get some food."

The black cat tilted its head slightly and thought about it: "Sugar packets." ”

One person and one cat used the food, washed it inside and out, and removed the dust of the days, and then Pei Ye continued to study in bed.

Gradually in the dead of night, Pei Ye closed the last page, and the cicada sword had been disassembled.

But the progress of the other hand did not fit perfectly - there was still more than half an hour of absorption before breaking through the two lives.

Seeing that the night was dark, Pei Ye didn't linger anymore, blew out the oil lamp and lay down.

I'm going to have a lot of energy tomorrow morning.

If it was in the past, he would definitely not be so calm, I remember that in the days before he broke the seed and got angry, because of the feeling of the dantian, he was almost so excited that he kept cultivating day and night, and every day he opened his eyes, he first felt the state of his abdomen.

And now he can restrain himself in the face of a breakthrough that is within reach.

A person's changes always happen imperceptibly, and until he suddenly looks back, the teenager will not find his own growth.

——

When the sky was bright on the second day, Pei Ye opened his eyes in a bright light. Feeling refreshed, and the autumn air outside was also cool, Pei Ye finished tidying up his outfit and walked onto the street with his sword on his back, heading towards the martial arts hall.

Before coming to the red lacquered door again, Pei Ye was about to knock again, and when he saw that the side door next to him had opened, he simply stepped in.

This martial arts hall is quite large, but the martial arts field is not difficult to find, yesterday the man had told him that the training place was "just downstairs", and as soon as he looked up at the door, the three-story small building stood in front of it through several walls.

Pei Ye walked straight forward, and when he passed a courtyard on the west side, he paused - there was a faint sound of waving a sword inside. He was hesitating whether to be here or not, and the noise ahead became clear, and through a half-open door, a corner of the wide square was already exposed.

Pei Ye walked straight across the door, and his vision was broadened.

The huge circular martial arts field, with a weapon rack on the left side, and a wide variety of instruments on the right, most of Pei Ye can't recognize the purpose, and in front of the martial arts field, a three-story small building stands on the wall.

More than 20 people in military uniforms gathered in the front of the martial arts field in a chaotic manner, of different ages, heights, fat and thin, and from time to time someone withdrew from the crowd in twos and threes, holding porridge and buns in their hands.

It's time to catch up with the meal.

Pei Ye stepped forward briskly, and this cultivation atmosphere of many people eating and practicing together made him regain some of his familiar feeling.

Zhang Junxue's tall back was quite eye-catching, and Pei Ye walked over from behind and gently patted her shoulder. The woman turned around and held a bowl of porridge and . Eight fist-sized buns.

Pei Ye hooked the corners of his mouth - such an amazing amount of food, and just about to speak, he suddenly heard a "poof" hum from the side, and the man said in an undisguised voice: "What a pig." ”

Pei Ye frowned and turned his head, seeing that it was a thin young man, with short hair tied up just over his neck, a long face and thin eyes, glancing at Zhang Junxue.

Zhang Junxue seemed to be ignorant, nodded sullenly at Pei Li, and walked out of the team.

"Yo, do you know?" The thin-eyed young man looked Pei Li up and down in some surprise, and several people next to him also looked at him curiously, "I haven't seen you a few days ago, who are you?" ”

Pei Ye glanced at him, didn't speak, served porridge, took a few buns, and left the team.

A voice came from behind: "Yo, dumb people gather together." ”

A few laughs.

Pei Ye walked out of the crowd and looked left and right, only to see Zhang Junxue squatting in the far corner, he walked over and squatted down.

The woman was still eating the bun sullenly and did not speak, and between the two bites, one of them was already in her stomach.

"Why don't you wait for me?"

"You, don't get too familiar with me."

Pei Li smiled: "Why, you are so excluded by others?" ”

“.” Zhang Junxue swallowed a bun in one bite this time.

"Who are they?"

"Zhengshou County."

"Oh, there's a holiday?"

"I don't know."

“.” Pei Ye turned his head to look over and saw about seven or eight people squatting in one place just now.

Xu Gu is a strong county, Zheng Shou is a rich county, and the quota of the two counties is the same, but sending all the people who can get three lives into the Longmen class has nothing to do with "strong", and it is a handiwork that can only be done by "rich".

Zhang Junxue's so-called "I don't know" festival is probably a battle for places.

In a small county like Fenghuai, no matter how much it is squeezed, two or three places will always be given, and Xu Gu Zhengshou wants to take one more bite of the place, but the other party's meat is the fattest.

After the meal, everyone lined up and stood on the martial arts field, Zhang Junxue was at the end, and Pei Ye was also standing beside her.

A tall, muscular middle-aged man with thick hair stood in front of him and coughed twice.

The team fell silent.

"Let's start with an important thing." The man's voice was deep and majestic, "The courtyard on the west side has always been forbidden to enter, and yesterday there were people living in it, and from now on it will be even more forbidden to trespass." As a reminder, the people who are not in the martial arts hall are so sudden that they bear the consequences. ”

"Then let's talk about today's arrangements as usual."

"I will continue the explanation of Baizhu Pavilion for a while, and I will end it today. This was followed by an hour of workouts, followed by an hour of sparring. That's all for the morning. ”

"Afternoon. For an hour to practice their respective martial arts, the masters patrol and guide, and those who don't want to be exposed can still go to the east side of the practice room. ”

"Then there is our three-day martial arts hall competition, and the rewards for the top three in this issue are still one ginseng, two taels of silver, and one or two silver."

"The evening is still an hour of personal freedom, and you can ask the master any questions and gains. Some masters have already helped draw up a plan, just follow the practice. ”

"Finally, today's Yamen issued the reward rules for the Golden Autumn Martial Arts Competition." The man glanced at the students who suddenly stretched their necks, "It was supposed to be announced in three days, but we will try to get a copy for you today, if not, tomorrow at the latest, we will definitely let everyone see it." ”

"Good!"

"Okay, sit down at intervals, and let Master Wang continue to tell you about the playing style of Baizhu Pavilion."

Pei Ye sat down curiously and watched an old man with a white beard walk up with a short sword.

In the next half hour, the old man accompanied the drill to introduce a swordsmanship of Baizhu Pavilion.

Of course, this could not be the true body of that swordsmanship, and it was impossible for the old man to tell them where the flaws in every move were—not to mention that he didn't know, and even if he knew, he would never dare to say it.

The old man just let these young people who had never been in contact with the three major factions have an understanding of the martial arts of the three factions, show their styles, and teach them the overall way of coping.

For example, after talking about this swordsmanship, the old man concluded: The style of several martial arts in Baizhu Pavilion is the standard "fight slowly with fast, and the last strike comes first", they are good at using short soldiers, fast body and arms, relying on "short" and "fast", after you make a move, they are used to observing half a move first, and then directly hitting the flaw.

Baizhu Pavilion's martial arts are not as good as the other two factions, but their disciples have excellent eyesight, their shots are clean and neat, and the victory and defeat are often extremely fast.

After the explanation, people got up and spread out to start the basic exercise, and at the same time, the old man took the short sword and went over one by one, fighting against each other, so that they could feel the style of Baizhu Pavilion.
