Chapter 92 The First Hearing of the Martial Academy
Gu Xing heard an old voice in the room: "Please let him in." β
Li Cangnan stretched out his hand to push open the door of the room and made a "please" gesture, but his body let him aside, which meant that he wanted Gu Xing to go in.
Gu Xing did not hesitate, raised his feet and stepped over the threshold, entered the room, but saw that the front was a group of wooden furniture, roughly a cabinet, and the position of the door opening seemed to be connected to the wall on the side, that is, this door was opened by the wall on the left, and the wall on the left side also had a door, from there to the room on the left hand, so that it led to the inner room, and Gu Xing's house in the countryside in his previous life was a shape, turned his head to look to the right, but saw a table, three people sitting there, two old men, and the other one was Li Cangnan's father Li Jiu.
Gu Xing first turned around, faced a few people, and then saluted: "The kid is polite here." The three of them nodded at the same time, and the old man in the middle pointed to the chair next to him with his hand: "Little friend, please take a seat." β
Gu Xing hurriedly waved his hand: "Senior, just call the kid Gu Xing." β
"Okay, Gu Xing, we have something to ask you, please take a seat. The old man continued.
Gu Xing walked to the edge of the chair and sat down, and then said: "If the senior has any questions, you can ask, and the kid will definitely answer if he knows." β
"I don't know where you came from, and where are you going?" asked the old man on his left.
Gu Xing pondered slightly: "The kid was originally going to the imperial capital, but he got lost halfway, and then he got the help of a senior master, who was originally riding his eagle, but because the senior master had something to do temporarily, so he first placed me on the island in the middle of the lake and asked me to wait for three days, but I didn't expect that I waited for several days, and the senior didn't go back to pick me up, so I met Uncle Lijiu." β
Gu Xing was full of lies and didn't make drafts, and his face didn't fluctuate, but Gu Xing thought in his heart: "I have a senior with a flying demonic beast who is willing to help, and he has promised to come and pick me up, so give this group of people a little pressure to ensure that I leave here safely." β
None of the three of them could think of Gu Xing's intentions, the old man nodded, but didn't ask anything, but continued to ask, "Then what are your plans now?"
Gu Xing shook his head: "Originally, I was going to wait for that senior to come, but since I have already left the island, the kid has no plans to go back there, but he doesn't have any plans yet, I don't know if the kid can be taken in here?"
Gu Xing deliberately showed a helpless look, hoping to confuse these three people, although Gu Xing couldn't feel the cultivation of those two old men, but the more this was the case, the more careful Gu Xing would be.
The two old men glanced at each other, as if they were communicating something, Gu Xing naturally didn't understand, and after a while, it was the old man who spoke: "Gu Xing, we have something here, I don't know if you can do me a favor?"
Gu Xing was stunned: "The kid's cultivation is low, I don't know what it is, I can help a few people, if the kid can do it, he will definitely help." β
Gu Xing first explained his cultivation as an explanation, the province was used, and then he didn't refuse, and the words were not leaky, and the old man sitting in the middle couldn't help laughing at this time: "Gu Xing boy, you can speak, are you still afraid that a few of us won't be able to deal with you, don't worry, you can definitely do it, it's just that this imperial capital is still about 10,000 miles away from here, and it is estimated that it will not be able to go in a while and a half." The old man paused, as if he was organizing the language, and as if he had made some decision, he finally spoke: "Our plan is to invite you and Lao Jiu's son to go to the martial arts academy together, with your help, we can smoothly let Nan'er have no worries when learning the foundation in the first two years, I don't know if Xiaoyou can agree?"
"It's called Xiaoyou again?!What does this old guy mean by elevating me?Is there still a risk in that martial arts academy?" Gu Xing muttered in his heart, his head was running rapidly, trying to find a reason not to do it, but he really couldn't think of it for a while, and at this moment, the old man spoke again: "Moreover, we can give Xiaoyou a bottle of fish elixir." After speaking, without waiting for Gu Xing to agree, he had already handed over a small jade bottle. Gu Xing was also curious, so he took it easily.
"Fish Spirit Pill, what is that?" Gu Xing was puzzled, although he took the jade bottle, he also asked casually.
The old man looked at Li Jiu, Li Jiu understood that he was asking him to explain, so he explained what the fish spirit pill was, it turned out that it was actually a kind of elixir that could speed up the absorption of spiritual energy by refining those white Ling Fei fish on the island in the middle of the lake, and the most important thing was that this elixir could increase the strength of the five internal organs, comparable to the alchemy of the ground level, only the alchemy of the ground level, and the kind that was close to the heavenly level, could strengthen the five internal organs and six internal organs when cultivating, this kind of elixir was really very rare.
As far as Gu Xing knows, when he was deceived by King Wu, the Ambergris Body Changing Pill he took was an elixir for refining the body, transforming the muscles, flesh, periosteum meridians of the whole body, but it was only a change in physique, and there was not much strengthening of the five internal organs, and this kind of fish spirit pill could actually strengthen the five internal organs, what an anti-heaven elixir? Gu Xing suddenly felt that he seemed to be running in time.
After listening to Li Jiu's explanation, Gu Xing was excited in his heart, pulled out the cork of the jade bottle slightly, and looked inside, but he was a little surprised, the pill was not much bigger than soybeans, and he had some doubts about the medicinal power of this pill, the jade bottle was not big, and there were only six pills in it, Gu Xing was a little slanderous in his heart: "Just six pills, and you said it so solemnly, is this what you mean to fool me?"
How did Gu Xing know that this pill was not ordinary, even this old patriarch didn't have many, it seemed to see Gu Xing's dissatisfaction, and the old patriarch in the middle smiled faintly: "Boy, don't dislike less, you will know the value of these pills in the future, as for what we discussed, what do you think?"
Gu Xing's heart tightened, he knew from this title that this old guy had the confidence to call himself 'kid', could it be that these six inconspicuous pills were really worth a lot of money? Forget it, since he had taken the benefits of others, there was no need to hold it, anyway, he just went to the martial arts academy to accompany him, by the way, the martial academy?! What kind of place is that, but this is the first time I have heard of this 'martial arts academy', I have to ask.
Thinking of this, Gu Xing hurriedly spoke: "Senior, since the kid has taken your benefits, he will naturally agree to your request, but there is one more thing for the seniors to explain." β
The old man nodded, Gu Xing asked his doubts, the three of them immediately laughed, and the old man on the left answered Gu Xing's doubts, the so-called martial arts academy is the place to learn martial arts, and although the territory of the Ming Kingdom is wide, there are only six martial arts institutes, which belong to six regions, in addition to the royal martial arts academy in the imperial capital, there are the remaining five, which are located in all parts of the Ming Dynasty in a radial shape, and the distance is very far, so it is said that this Qingcheng Martial Arts Academy is more than 7,000 miles away from the national capital. Moreover, it is very difficult to enter, the competition is very fierce, and as a small village, it is because the village can provide this main medicine for refining the fish elixir every year, even so, you can get a place, and Li Cangnan is the best talent under the age of sixteen in the village, this year I plan to recommend him to the past, the martial arts academy requires that only people under the age of sixteen can enter, but, because the battle in the martial arts academy is quite fierce, the seedlings sent in the first three years, I don't know what the reason, were injured and killed, this year, I plan to add an insurance to this only recommended amount, and ask Gu Xing to go with him, mainly to play a protective roleγ
Gu Xing was depressed again: "Since it's protection, shouldn't you send someone with high skills? Why did you choose me?"
The old patriarch sighed and said: "We can't help it, we hope to learn the martial arts academy's exercises, but we don't know why we offended someone, the genius boys in our village have been injured a lot in the past three years, although we have taken back some martial arts and techniques, which can be learned by others, but after all, we haven't learned the essence yet, and the martial arts academy stipulates that no one is allowed to be sent to protect the students who enter the martial academy." β
"Not allowed to protect?, then something like this happened to their Martial Academy, is it just that?" Gu Xing asked with a frown.
"Hey, isn't it, we also negotiated with the Martial Academy, but unfortunately, the internal regulations of the Martial Arts Academy are that you can't hurt people during the competition, but our three children had an accident when they went out to practice, and it is not the responsibility of the Martial Academy. Li Jiu added at the right time.
"Going out to practice, isn't the martial arts academy protecting the students?" Gu Xing still didn't understand.
"The so-called experience is the experience of life and death, which corresponds to beasts or monsters, but there have been some accidents in the past three years, so the martial arts academy cannot guarantee it, and every student who goes out to experience has signed a life and death contract when he goes out, and we can't do it. The old man on the left sighed.
Gu Xing was silent for an instant, a little worried in his heart, the old patriarch saw Gu Xing's brows furrowed, knowing that he was a little worried, and continued to speak: "There is a rule in the Martial Academy, for the first two years, ordinary students can refuse to go out for training, and after two years, ordinary students can be admitted to the elite disciples, once Nan'er is admitted to the elite disciples, your protection responsibility will be completed, and besides, I will arrange for Nan'er not to participate in the outside training, how about this?"
Gu Xing looked like a school in front of him, looking at the scene where Li Cangnan was admitted to the elite disciple two years later and left easily, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, but then he thought of a question: "Elite disciples need to take the test?"
Li Jiu nodded: "Ordinary disciples also need to take the test, elite disciples can only take the test after two years of enrollment, once they are admitted to the elite disciples, not only will the cultivation resources given by the martial arts academy increase, but also the rights will also increase, and the exercises can learn most of the high-level exercises of the martial arts academy, which is also the purpose of Nan'er's visit this time, but before that, it is necessary to ensure Nan'er's safety." β
Hearing him make such an arrangement, Gu Xing couldn't help but think about it in his heart: "It seems reasonable, but this is a security guarantee? What is there for them to take a fancy to? He is just the cultivation of a great martial artist, and it is estimated that in that kind of place, it is not high, and besides, do they plan to let themselves be admitted to the martial academy?" Thinking of this, Gu Xing looked at the old patriarch in the middle position.
