The martial arts examination begins

In just three days, a lot happened, but nothing happened.

Jiang Jingyan, Fan Yuzhi, and even the Holy Emperor began to use their own forces to thoroughly investigate Chai Xintong, and in just three days, a group of people suddenly poured into Tongzhou, all of whom were intentionally and unintentionally inquiring about this little master in Tongzhou, and even wanted to know if he was four years old or not.

They also collided with each other, and a battle broke out in Xiaobo. But this kind of thing can't be fanfare, and the two sides have a tacit understanding to disperse after touching, and each has its own gains.

But for Chai Xintong himself, he didn't know what happened in Tongzhou at all, and he didn't even think that he would attract the attention of others.

In the past three days, except for drinking and shopping with Xu Changan, there has been nothing else.

Even when Xu Changan knew about the martial arts examination system and collected the opponent's information for him, Chai Xintong didn't care. Instead, he looked at Xu Changan strangely, looking like "Lao Tzu is not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for a dead eunuch".

There are a total of eight people in the martial arts examination, and they will be caught and killed first. They are divided into two groups based on the relationship between winners and losers, and there are four people in each of the two groups of winners and losers.

Then the winners and losers fight each other in the group, the two losers in the winner's group fall into the loser's group, and the four people in the loser group are eliminated and two are made up by the two who lost in the winner's group.

After that, the losers' bracket fought each other again and continued to eliminate the two. In the end, there were two people left in the lower bracket and two in the upper bracket.

The two winners of the lower bracket advance to the finals, and the two winners of the upper bracket advance to the finals.

The final winner is the first in the martial arts examination, with a score of A; the first four and the remaining three are all A or B, and the score is determined by the little master according to the performance; and the last four are judged by the performance score; but after the martial arts examination is over, these eight people still cannot leave Chang'an, because they have to meet the examination that will appear all the time. Only those who have the first comprehensive score in the martial arts examination and the examination can worship the little master as a teacher.

Therefore, the martial arts examination is only the first stage, and although the results of the martial arts examination are very important, they are not equal to the whole story.

The previous matches were all in the martial arts training field outside the city, and the final finals were in the square in front of the Qianlong Palace!

In the past three days, Xu Changan had the intention to help Chai Xintong collect information about his opponent and then analyze his weaknesses, but Chai Xintong didn't care at all, and even felt that he was a little annoyed.

Whenever Xu Changan chattered to him who was good at what, Chai Xintong ran to Kong Dewei in a hurry.

Xu Changan thought of that stupid boy with a look, so he could only look at Chai Xintong's back with hatred, stomped his feet, and let him go.

Three days passed in a flash, and as soon as the genius dawned, Xu Changan and Chai Xintong rushed to the outside of Chang'an City.

Outside the city, there were already dense armor warriors, enclosing a circular martial arts field, which was a ravaged meadow.

The throne of the Lord sits on the altar of the three face-to-face saints, but the little master still does not appear.

The three worshippers also look similar, they should be three brothers.

Chai Xintong and Xu Changan had just entered the martial arts field, and they saw that the other seven had already arrived.

Jiang Jingyan glanced at Chai Xintong with disdain, the news he got was that this Chai Xintong had no origin in the slightest, and was even injured by a blood bat not long ago.

The low-level mysterious beast of the blood bat couldn't get close to him at all.

As long as he puts this Chai Xintong into the loser's group, or even puts him in the bottom four, then even if this nameless boy from Tongzhou spits lotus flowers, it is impossible to chase him in the total score.

The only thing he was worried about was Condewe.

Although this kid looks a little stupid, his strength is indeed not weak, and if it is about Confucianism, he is not as good as him.

He glanced at Kong Dewei, who was smiling and greeting Chai Xintong, and snorted coldly, anyway, the timeline of this martial arts exam is not short, wait for him to take a look before making plans!

Kong Dewei greeted Chai Xintong warmly, and looked behind Chai Xintong from time to time, and saw that only the little marquis who followed Chai Xintong, and there was a touch of disappointment in his eyes.

However, in today's martial arts examination, he still knew the importance and immediately covered up his disappointment.

Xu Changan stopped in the audience on the side of the school, and this martial arts examination, the officials who have completed the handling of government affairs can all open and observe.

Xu Changan looked around and found Xue Pan and a few juniors, as for the officials, there were only a few scattered ones.

He waved his hand, and Xue Pan ran over when he saw Xu Changan.

"Why is this so deserted?"

Xu Changan asked.

Xue Pan glanced around, and then said in his ear: "This is the matter of the Confucius Temple, why are the officials so concerned? If you show too much concern, be careful of being watched by the inspector Yushi!"

Xu Changan pursed his lips and pointed to a few officials on the other side and said, "Who are those?"

"Those are the people from the Ministry of War, this is someone's venue, the martial arts examination venue designated by the Holy Emperor himself, people will definitely come to see it, and ah, if they meet a little gentleman who can't accept failure, they can also win it over. ”

Xu Changan was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "If you can't accept the failure, why do you want it?"

Xue Pan glanced at him and said, "Is it really a 'waste' that is not a treasure?"

"This person who can enter the Confucius Temple is naturally not a weak person, at least he must be educated, and he must also be a monk. Think about it, is such a person considered a talent outside?"

"Since the Confucius Temple doesn't want them, let them join the military department or the other five departments, step by step from the staff, to ensure their loyalty, and make the best use of their talents, why not be beautiful?"

Xu Changan thought for a while and said, "Will the Confucius Temple send people to mix in the six departments!"

Xue Pan looked at Xu Changan, shook his head and said, "You have been with the little master for a while, don't you know what he is like?

Xu Changan was silent, the little master is indeed like this.

But he immediately had some questions: "Isn't there a lot of people in this court who belong to the Confucius Temple? Why do you say this, as if the Confucius Temple and the court are enemies." ”

Xu Changan looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, he then explained in a low voice: "This belongs to the group of people in the Confucius Temple, and they are basically officials. Most of them were officials in the Hanlin Academy, or they were speech officials. Naturally, there is no need to talk about the Hanlin Academy, and the place where you do learning is basically not in contact with any major events in the world; as for the officials, it is even more miserable, you have the right to give advice, but whether you listen to it or not depends on the mood of the Holy Emperor. ”

"This holy emperor relied on force to seize the world, but after seizing the world, the original king of Pingshan asked him to focus first and seek development, and specially invited several of the world's most powerful scholars to come, and finally built a Confucius Temple to protect the people of the world. But these people like to talk around the bush, and they pick up what the Holy Emperor doesn't like to hear, so ah, this Holy Emperor slowly rejects the people in the Confucius Temple. ”

"It is said that the top three in this scientific examination have to find out that their identities have little to do with Confucius Temple before they will be famous. ”

Xu Chang'an's heart tightened, he always thought that the Holy Emperor and the Confucius Temple were happy, but he didn't expect this to be such a situation, no wonder he was seriously injured when he asked for a nominal marshal for himself.

When Xu Changan thought of this, his heart was sour, and it was not a taste in every way.

Xue Pan didn't notice Xu Changan's abnormality, he turned around Xu Changan and said, "The horse has begun!"

I saw that the three worshippers were sitting in a precarious position, not angry, and the one sitting in the room was like a bell, and said to the eight people: "The eight of you are all elites, and today we and the other three are ordered to come to preside over the first round of this martial arts examination." Let me introduce myself first, in Xia Wu Dao, the one on my left is my brother Wu De, and the one on my right is my brother Wu Yan. The three of us are all worshiped by the grandmasters of the lower realm of the imperial court, and we will wait for the test today, and we will not take people's lives until the point is reached. Otherwise, kill it immediately!"

Wu Dao spoke, glanced at the eight people in the venue, and then said: "Don't think you are a person from the Confucius Temple, this is an order given by the little master himself, if someone intends to harm people's lives, there will be no forgiveness!"

Seeing that the expressions of the eight people were solemn, Wu Dao smiled slightly, and then waved his sleeves, and the eight sticks stood in the air.

"These eight teams are divided into four groups, respectively A, B, C, D, and draw A and two to determine the winner, enter the winner's group, and the loser enters the loser's group, and the same is true for the rest of the groups!"

"In addition, there is no competition, and those who are called can choose a lot first!"

Hearing this lottery method, Xu Changan's brows furrowed, did the people who draw lots first choose more?

Xue Pan saw that Xu Changan's expression was the same as when he first knew the rules, so he explained: "Today is just divided into two groups of winners and losers, and no elimination, so everyone who draws them will have a look, if they really have the ability, they can also be called from the losers' group!"

Xu Changan nodded when he heard the explanation.

The draw has already begun.

As soon as the words of "He Chen" fell, I saw a person who looked like a scholar jumped up, chose a random lot, and was expressionless.

As the names were called, the eight floating lotteries were quickly drawn.

"Group A stays, and the rest of the groups watch the game!"

Chai Xintong looked at the sign in his hand, looked for it in the audience, and walked towards Xu Changan.

When Chai Xintong just arrived at Xu Chang'an's side, Kong Dewei also squeezed over, and the old man Hong in the distance was still staring at Xu Chang'an with his sword, Xu Chang'an saw his eyes, and his heart was a little furious.

"Brother Chai, I don't know which group you are, let's not bump into each other!" Hearing Kong Dewei say this, Xu Changan also got better, and didn't look at the old man Hong.

Chai Xintong unfolded the sign in his hand, and only saw a "C" word written on it.

Kong Dewei was a little happy, and also unfolded the sign in his hand, and the face was a "B" character.

"Fortunately, I didn't collide, then I'm waiting for Brother Chai in the winner's group!"

Looking at the enthusiastic Kong Dewei, Chai Xintong smiled faintly and said, "Okay!"

After Kong Dewei finished speaking, he walked towards Old Man Hong.

Everyone also looked at the field.

To their surprise, this Jiang Jingyan was actually the first to appear, and his opponent was He Chen, who had just been the first to be called.

I have to say that He Chen is really a bit back.

In their opinion, as long as they can miss Jiang Jingyan and Kong Dewei, they will at least have a chance to compete for the place in the winner's group, but if they meet these two, they can only obediently stay in the loser's group.

"Looks like you're out of luck. ”

Jiang Jingyan looked at his opponent and said lightly.

"It's not good. He Chen sighed and said.

"I can allow you to throw in the towel and keep your stamina and strength to fight through the lower bracket. Jiang Jingyan said proudly, he has absolute confidence in himself, and he can even be said to be proud.

In his imagination, this person should weigh the pros and cons and admit defeat directly.

But things often happen beyond his expectations.

I saw He Chen shake his head and said, "If you don't even have the courage to fight with you, then why should you pursue a higher and better ranking." ”

Jiang Jingyan's brows furrowed, and he asked slowly, "Are you sure?"

He Chen nodded and said: "A military general should have the backbone of a military general, and a person should also have the backbone of a human being, if he is defeated without a fight, it is really embarrassing!"

Jiang Jingyan snorted coldly: "Come on!"

I saw that the momentum of the two of them skyrocketed, and the dust around them was flying, and the two of them shouted at the same time: "Haoran righteousness!"

Hearing these four words, Xu Changan's spirit was shocked.

He had seen Su Qing and Chai Xintong's heroic righteousness, although they were both heroic righteousness, but the feelings they displayed were not the same.

Chai Xintong's generosity is magnanimous, but Su Qing's is carrying

Sharp.

As for the two people present, He Chen gave people a sense of gentleness and tenacity, while Jiang Jingyan's heroic righteousness was a bit sharp, but unlike Su Qing's, he still had a trace of ...... Poisonous.

Xu Changan looked at the two of them, frowned, and said, "How do I feel that this Jiang Jingyan is annoying!"

Chai Xintong sighed and said: "Although he reads poems well, there is something wrong with people. It is said that words are like people, and through a person's words, you can see the general character of this person. The same is true of the Haoran righteousness of this Confucius Temple, although they are all Haoran righteousness, different people will have different effects when they cultivate it. If the mind is unstable during cultivation, it will affect the quality and power of Haoran righteousness. ”

Xu Changan thought for a while and continued: "In that case, the surname Jiang is doomed?"

When Chai Xintong heard this, he shook his head and said, "No, he won." ”

"......"

Xu Changan was about to ask, but Chai Xintong took the lead in replying: "The strength of all the little gentlemen must be in the Huixi Realm, but this Huixi Realm is also divided into high and low, this Jiang Jingyan's strength is obviously He Chengao, and his Haoran righteousness has a little more ruthlessness, which will temporarily enhance his aggressiveness." ”

After Chai Xintong finished speaking, he saw that the two people who were bare-handed before took out their weapons at the same time.

Jiang Jingyan used a bone whip, and it is rumored that his ancestor sage used a bone whip to "educate" this world. The one in his hand naturally will not be the bone whip used by the ancestral saint, it should be an imitation made by the Jiang family.

And He Chen took out a ring ruler.

The ring ruler and the bone whip kept colliding, and I saw Jiang Jingyan floating in the air, retreating slightly every time.

This action surprised everyone slightly. Unexpectedly, the proud son of the Jiang family actually suffered a loss at the hands of a little-known boy.

At the same time, everyone also looked at He Chengao a few points.

Jiang Jingyan's face was a little gloomy, he loosened the bone whip in his hand, pinched it again, and said slowly: "I also said how not to surrender, it turns out that I have some ability." ”

He Chen's face was indifferent, he shook his head and said, "It's not that I have the ability, but that there is something wrong with your state of mind, descendant of the saint, but that's it!"

Jiang Jingyan was furious when he heard this, raised the bone whip high, and a grand momentum emanated from him.

Seeing that this bone whip was about to come down, He Chen shouted loudly: "Surrender!"

His voice resounded throughout the martial arts field, but this bone whip offensive was not reduced by half a point, Wu Dao saw this, and shouted: "Stop!"

But this was obviously too late, and the bone whip was already heading towards the top of He Chen's head.

In a hurry, He Chen could only use the ring ruler to block the square, and the ring ruler and the bone whip intersected, making a crisp sound of wood breaking.

He Chen was like a stone that had been thrown, and it fell to the ground obliquely, stirring up a cloud of dust, and Jiang Jingyan had half a ring ruler in front of him.

Wu Dao fell into the scene at this time, and he shouted: "He has already surrendered, why do you want to make a move!"

Jiang Jingyan immediately put away the smugness in his eyes, and a trace of guilt and uneasiness appeared in his eyes.

"I ...... I made a move, and he said, I can't take it. I'm really sorry, I have the Jiang family's healing elixir, and I ask my seniors to transfer it on my behalf. As he spoke, he pulled out a cyan vial from his bosom.

Wu Dao could see that his attitude was sincere, and this He Chen did not say it until after Jiang Jingyan made a move, and it was normal for him to not be able to return the move.

He took the cyan porcelain vase and snorted coldly: "Don't take it as an example!"

After finishing speaking, he picked up He Chen, who was in a coma, and gave him medicine.

At the same time, the people in the military department who were watching from a distance took out a pamphlet, crossed Jiang Jingyan's name, and added a tick under He Chen's name.

After Wu Dao placed He Chen, Wu Dao returned to the hosting stage and shouted: "The next group, remember, point to the end!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Kong Dewei walking down to the scene, looking around in confusion, it seemed that he had really stayed at home for too long, and he was a little uncomfortable with life outside.

His opponent was a tall, thin man with a crown and long hair.

Seeing that the opponent was Kong Dewei, the man sighed, thinking of He Chen's fate before, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "In Xia Qingzhou, Mr. Sima Yanqing, please advise." ”

Kong Dewei took a deep breath, relieved his tension and said, "In the lower Kong Dewei, I have seen senior brother. As he spoke, he pulled out a pen from his sleeve.

The weapons of the saint are generally nothing more than pen, ink, paper, inkstone, or those in private schools, and this pen of Kong Dewei is made in imitation of the weapons of his ancestors.

When Sima Yanqing saw Kong Dewei's pen, his eyes suddenly shrank.

He thought for a while and said, "Since all those who practice are Haoran righteousness, then our Haoran righteousness is inelegant to fight and kill. ”

Kong Dewei nodded, and his body immediately exuded a majestic righteousness.

In the face of this heroic righteousness, Sima Yanqing only has one feeling, that is, purity and vastness, like the Buddha seal of a high monk, with a righteous spirit, and he can't feel the rest of his emotions.

When he saw the pen, he thought that Kong Dewei would be like Jiang Jingyan and use the advantages of the instrument to suppress people, so he put forward Haoran righteousness and mood. But as soon as this Kong Dewei made a move, he knew that his family was too bad.

He took a deep breath and bowed his hand: "Mr. is in an admirable state of mind, and he will not be ugly!"

People have always regarded the master as a teacher, so he also directly called Kong Dewei as Mr.

With that, he brushed his sleeves away, leaving Kong Dewei in a stupor.

After this boring battle was over, Wu Daokong said the word "C", and the two figures arrived. "In the lower Jin Dynasty, Wang Sihe has seen a senior brother!"

Chai Xintong also saluted him and said, "Tongzhou, Chai Xintong, please advise!"
