There is also a month is the 65th birthday of Emperor Pingjing, Shu Xianguo is welcoming the annual "Tianchang Festival" to celebrate with the whole world, the world is amnesty, every family will hang the lantern high, Wucheng College has also added a lot of celebration.

Wucheng College is located in the "Mingying City", the most prosperous city at a high altitude in the Shu Immortal Kingdom. This city is old and trendy, but it has a unique charm. "The more beautiful the night" is a summary of its image, in Mingying City many outsiders come to travel and shop, the most famous brands and the most expensive prices of Shu Xianguo are concentrated here.

Wucheng College was built on the highest "Mingying Mountain" in Mingying City. The scenery of "Mingying Mountain" is beautiful and beautiful, in summer, you can see the breeze carrying the white clouds floating in the blue sky overhead, the mountains under the blue sky are lush and green, the green is thorough, the water in the mountains is clear and mellow, the beauty is amazing, it is like walking in a fairy tale. In winter, you can see the color of the water through the thin ice, light green, navy blue, dark blue, light red, light purple and other colors of fusion, such as a giant gem, some ice flowers such as brocade, some like clouds, the combination of movement and static, very poetic. The people also said, "Qi Fenghua is on Mingying Mountain, and Wu Chengcai is all over the world." ”

Classes at Wucheng Academy are held every hour. School ends at the next hour. The class lasts for five hours, and the age distribution of the disciples is 8-16 years old. It is mainly divided into eight grades and 16 classes according to different grades, with an average number of 30 students in each class, and a total of nearly 4,000 disciples in the school. Wucheng Academy was established to train disciples in individual combat ability, command ability, and the use of internal strength.

Half of the military strength of the Shu Immortal Kingdom comes from Wucheng Academy. The gate of the college is magnificent and magnificent, there is a warrior's monument at the main entrance, the monument is dozens of zhang high, several zhang wide, and several zhang long. He is a symbol of the spirit of the whole school. Since its establishment fifty years ago, it has been standing in the center of the school, and the names and portraits of all the disciples trained by the Wucheng Academy who died in military missions will be engraved on the "Warrior Monument".

At the end of the day, a young man woke up from a dream in a daze on the tattered bed of an abandoned inn in Ming Yingcheng, this young man had a fair complexion and a touch of handsomeness in his facial features. There are deep marks on the walls around the boy's bedroom, as if they have been washed over hundreds of years and have been broken to the point that they cannot be repaired.

There were few objects in the small space of the house, except for a couch made of two planks and a table with one leg broken, which almost filled the space, and the wind blew the crumbling door, as if the ghost was crying for his life.

Ten years ago, the female shopkeeper of this inn in Ming Yingcheng Jia, cleaned up in her own yard, only to hear the cry of the baby outside the door, went out to see, only to see a wooden basket made of yellow rosewood at the door, the baby's cry came from the basket, Jia came closer to see, a baby is crying in the basket. This baby has a chubby face, two strings of curved eyebrows, a pair of big bright eyes, can't help but feel maternal love, sigh: "I don't know who is so ruthless, to throw this newborn child in front of the door, it's really evil!"

Naja didn't understand what it meant. Seeing that the baby was held in his arms, he stopped crying, and thought that his husband had died in a foreign country, and that he had been a widow and had no children and no daughters, so he wanted to take him in. smiled and said to the baby: "Good doll, how about I be your mother in the future?" I used to hope that the child I gave birth to was very literate, and it just so happened that there was another Xuan character in your basket, so you will call you Wenxuan in the future. With that, he hugged Wen Xuan into the inn.

Jia Shi worked day and night, and although the days were hard, they were also happy. Time passed day by day, Wenxuan grew up day by day, although the Jia family was helpless in Mingying City, but they relied on simplicity and hard work to live a prosperous life. When Wen Xuan was three years old, an old man with a pipe came to the inn and told Jia that he wanted to see Wen Xuan.

The old man claimed to be the master of Wucheng Academy, and had a relationship with Wen Xuan, saying that he was a malleable talent, and wanted to recruit Wen Xuan when he was eight years old. Jia Shi was overjoyed after hearing this, Wucheng Academy is famous in Shu Immortal Country, and everyone in the world knows that the disciples who came out of Wucheng Academy are either rich or noble, and they are all pillars of the country. Jia told Wenxuan that in the future, when he entered Wucheng Academy, he would study hard and achieve a career.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and when Wenxuan was six years old, Jia Shi suffered from a strange disease. In order to cure the disease, he spent all his family's savings, sold all the valuable items in the inn, and invited famous doctors all over the city. But all the doctors shook their heads after seeing Jia's illness, saying that this was the gods in the sky who wanted to take Jia's life, and mortals could do nothing.

Seeing that his body was getting worse day by day, Jia called Wen Xuan to his side and said, "Wen Xuan, you were not born to me. It's an abandoned baby I picked up at the door of the inn six years ago. In your basket, there is also a letter with the word "Xuan" written on it. That's why I named you Wenxuan. That basket of yours is made of expensive wood, and I have kept it in the basement without selling it, and your own mother must have had some difficulty in abandoning you here, and it is time for you to go to them. Speaking of this, Jia Shi began to choke, two lines of tears fell, and he continued with convulsions: "Wenxuan...... You have to remember that you need to face it alone in the future, your mother can't be with you, the days are very hard, you have to learn to be strong, you will also meet your beloved girl in the future, be good to her. Remember, don't be a hero in trouble, your mother's husband is a hero, what if you become a hero, and eventually die in battle. I've been widowed for half my life, my mother doesn't like heroes at all, I just want you to be safe and sound.... It's good to be safe...."After speaking, Jia closed his eyes and stopped breathing. Wen Xuan hissed and cried bitterly. ...

In order to buy a coffin for Jia's family, Wenxuan picked up tobacco in Mingying City during the day, moved bricks, and delivered letters. After scraping together enough money, Wenxuan put Jia's family into the soil and erected a monument.

However, after the Jia family was buried in the ground, Wen Xuan did not go to his biological parents, but lived in the abandoned inn left by the Jia family, continued to do odd jobs during the day, and occasionally went to the window of the private school to eavesdrop on Mr. 's lessons. Seeing that Wenxuan was studious, the gentleman did not drive Wenxuan away, but gave him a few books and taught him to recognize a few words.

Due to his perennial rough work, Wen Xuan's hands were already full of calluses at a young age, and his playmates of the same age laughed at him, saying that he was a six-year-old child with a sixty-year-old hand, thick enough to sharpen a knife.

Two years passed like this, until when he was eight years old, Wen Xuan received an admission notice from Wucheng Academy, and in order to fulfill Jia's last wish, Wen Xuan decided to enter Wucheng to go to school.

After entering Wucheng Academy, Wen Xuan's life did not get better, and Jia's last words made Wen Xuan develop a timid and fearful character. I never dared to fight back when I was beaten, I didn't say much, and I just wanted to do my own thing silently. The academy occasionally gives Wenxuan a grant fund, but the grant is not very much, and after receiving the money, it is basically looted. In the face of the squirrel, Wenxuan always chooses to compromise, just thinking about peace and security.

And when the gentlemen saw that Wen Xuan was easy to bully, they intensified their efforts, and they all wanted to bully him with the law, and asked Wen Xuan to help them wipe their weapons and tidy up their housekeeping.

Due to the lack of money in his pocket, and the fact that he was studying at the college, he usually had no time to do odd jobs, and the business of the merchants in various places has become worse and worse in recent years, so Winshare has no income.

Once, Wen Xuan didn't eat for three days, and his eyes were black with hunger. Sneaking around the restaurant and eating someone else's leftovers once.

As a result, he met the meanness of the shopkeeper, took the leftovers and fed them to the dog, and scolded, "Little rabbit,, what are you doing business with the old lady here" and picked up the broom and drove Wenxuan out. After this incident, Wen Xuan never went to any restaurant to keep the surplus food.

One person walks the mountain road for an hour after school every night and picks wild animals on the mountain behind Mingying City. The Mingying Mountains are undulating, and the wild creatures often grow in dangerous places, and sometimes they have to risk thousands of abysses for a fruit.

Recently, Wen Xuan went to the mountains to pick a lot of wild fruits as storage food, and ate wild fruits for three meals a day.

Starting from Wenxuan's house, it takes half an hour to walk to the school, and you pass through the bustling Mingying City every day. Although the sky is still hazy and bright, Mingying City is still noisy and bright, and the lights are dim. There are drunks and Qinglou women who only came out of the tavern last night, and gamblers who just came out of the casino to scold their mothers. Of course, for children who can't eat enough, the most attractive thing for Wenxuan is the food distributed on the roadsides.

Ming Yingcheng's scalding is Wen Xuan's favorite food, Wen Xuan stopped in front of a hot fishing shop, only to see the shopkeeper put the meat and vegetables on the bamboo skewers, put a large handful of meat and vegetables pierced by bamboo skewers into the tumbling red soup, the listener's index finger moved.

This shop Wenxuan often comes and is very familiar with the shopkeeper Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen is kind and kind-eyed, and he is nearly sixty years old. The children and his wife died in the war ten years ago, and he and a ninety-year-old man who couldn't walk were the only ones in the family. In order to make more money, Uncle Chen not only guards the shop every day, but occasionally goes to the Mingying Weaving Bureau to work as a worker. Before Wen Xuan went to Wucheng, he also fought under Uncle Chen, but later because he was in school, he had no time, so he couldn't learn the craft from the shopkeeper. Uncle Chen saw that Wenxuan was diligent and simple, and he liked it very much. Seeing Wenxuan walking past the store, almost all of them would give Wenxuan some food for free, and only told Wenxuan that the store was doing a discount recently.

Wen Xuan looked at the busy Uncle Chen today, and instead of going up to say hello, he swallowed his saliva, turned his head and walked away.

Walking to the corner of the foothills of Mingying Mountain, I saw that there was still a white mist floating on the top of the mountain, and the road up the mountain was twists and turns. After another half an hour of mountain road, he finally came to the school gate, Wen Xuan only felt hungry and his stomach growled.

At the entrance of the school, there was a handsome young man standing at the door. This handsome child, named Yan Ming, is father Yan Shirong, the chief of the brocade army in the southern part of the Shu Immortal Kingdom, and is in charge of the entire southern military force of the Shu Immortal Kingdom. Yan Ming looks old and proud, although he is a ten-year-old child, he looks like he is eighteen years old, he is old and stable, and his mind is delicate.

Wen Xuan stepped forward and said, "Hello senior brother!" Yan Ming didn't glance at Wen Xuan, but directly put a hook on the list. Wen Xuan didn't know how to talk to the class leader, so he walked straight into the classroom.

The hall was already full, and there were a total of thirty-two disciples in the whole room, and each disciple had one seat. On each person's table there is a special weapon rack for weapons, and the hidden weapons, swords, guns and swords brought by the class members from their own houses are all placed on the weapon rack. Some are placed with divine thunder battle axes, some are placed with nine-star dragon swords, and some are placed with Tianxue crossbows..... Only Wen Xuan's seat didn't have any weapons on it, and it was especially abrupt to glance down from the classroom podium.

In the school, students are ranked according to their academic performance, with those with good comprehensive scores sitting in the front and poor students sitting in the back. Because Wenxuan entered Wucheng, he was at the bottom all the year round. Winshare was seated in the last row. Wen Xuan's seat was arranged in the corner of the last row, and whenever Wen Xuan came to the academy, he felt that his self-esteem had been hit.

As soon as he sat down, Zhang Yue in front turned to look at Wen Xuan, and said to Wen Xuan with a hippie smile: "Hey, idiot, the final exam is coming soon, do you know? You've been in school for two years, and you've been in the last few places every year. You and I are different, I don't want to learn, I will drop out of school and go home to open a restaurant to make money in business, and be happy, but what should you do if you are a nerd?"

Wen Xuan looked at Zhang Yue's smug smile on his face, and thought to himself, "I don't need you to remind me, I don't want to stay in this ghost place for a long time." But Wen Xuan didn't dare to say this directly, he only lowered his head and said, "Okay, don't bother me, I'm going to class." ”

Seeing Wen Xuan's impatience, Zhang Yue glanced at Wen Xuan, and read "Dead nerd." ”

Wen Xuan often didn't know that if he left Wu Chengcheng, he would not be able to fulfill his mother's wishes. But looking at the content of the book, and the use of weapons and the cultivation of internal force that the master talked about, it is really not good to practice. In the past two years, Wen Xuan has always doubted whether he is the material for martial arts, and the masters of various subjects also said that his qualifications are dull and his talent is extremely poor, and every time he is taught by the master, Wen Xuan secretly scolds in his heart, "Knowing that I have poor talent, I still want to be accepted into Wucheng's disciple as a disciple, in this ghost place, it is better to do odd jobs on the street and be happy, have food to eat, and make money." You don't have to be ridiculed by these rich children every day, and you don't have to go to the mountains every day to pick up wild fruits to eat. ”

At this time, Li Jialong walked into the school with the lesson plan and said, "Today is a mock written test. With that, he handed out the test paper.

Most of the test papers are some questions about benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, and the law of the Shu Immortals, Wen Xuan looked at the exam questions with gold stars in his eyes, and he was groggy. About half an hour later, Wen Xuan suddenly felt a special pain in his stomach, and thought to himself, "It seems that I ate too many wild fruits picked on the mountain yesterday...... Oops, it's too bad to want to, what should I do, now I say that I want to and I'm going to be laughed at to death. After struggling for a while, he slowly raised his hand. Li Jialong saw Wen Xuan lowering his head and raising his hand. Wen Xuan replied: "Master, I want to go to the thatched house.....

The whole class laughed, "Hahaha~ What is this dead waste doing, shitting is very powerful, if the whole hospital is more shitty, this guy is definitely the first." ”

Li Jialong shouted: "Shut up! Wenxuan, go quickly, go back quickly!".

Wen Xuan lowered his head and walked out with his legs between his legs. At this time, a person in the room whispered, this person had a wide face, a fat body, and a body full of meat, and his face was shaking around when he spoke.

"Hey~Hey~ Old Yuan, do you want a few of us to go together and make a fool of that idiot. ”

When a short boy heard this, he showed his uneven rotten teeth, and one of his incisors was missing from his yellow teeth, and replied to the man who was covered with flesh.

"Let's go! Call Yan Biguo, Wang Chenghao, let's go together." ”

At this time, four people stood up in the quiet room, the four of them had different shapes, extremely deformed, one was covered with horizontal flesh, and there was a lot of fat. A dwarf with a mouth full of rotten teeth and a wrinkled face that is less than two feet long. There was also a man nearly six feet long, with arms above the knees, as thin as bones, and a lot of body hair, like a gibbon. A man with a leopard's head and two round eyes.

The dwarf with sparse teeth and wrinkles on his face smiled at Li Jialong, the wrinkles on his face gathered together, and said with a hippie smile: "Hey hey master, we have to hand in the papers in advance." ”

The parents of these four people all hold official positions in Ming Yingcheng, and they are out-and-out gentlemen. However, although these four people have always been mischievous in the academy, they are still passable in kung fu.

Li Jialong said coldly, "Submit the papers, you can go."

After thanking the master, the four of them walked out of the classroom and frolicked to the thatched house.

At this time, Wen Xuan heard a burst of footsteps outside the thatched house, and Yuan Ke, who was full of rotten teeth, laughed and said, "Wen Xuan, where are you~ hahahaha!"

When Wen Xuan heard this voice, Wen Xuan immediately covered his mouth with his hand, not daring to gasp. In order to avoid being beaten, every time Wen Xuan received the subsidy at school, he would hand it over directly to these four people silently.

"He's in here!~" Yuan Ke shouted, "Let's throw the dung into it, and tell this kid not to pay for more than ten days! Let's give him a taste of and teach him a lesson!"

Wen Xuan hurriedly lifted his pants and prepared to rush out of the wooden door, but the door couldn't be opened.

It turned out that the wooden door of the thatched house had been sealed by Wang Chenghao, the six-foot-long boy among the four, with internal force. Wang Chenghao, a ten-year-old strange boy, is undoubtedly an outlier in the academy, and his father is the commander of the drug supervision of Mingying Village. There are countless precious medicinal herbs in the house. And there are also many "Spiritual Gong Pills" that have cultivated internal strength to improve the value of internal qi. Because of its high price, this Underworld Attack Pill cannot be used for a long time by ordinary martial artists. Even in the Martial Arts Academy, there are only less than 100 pills in the medicine storehouse, which are used to reward outstanding martial artists. And Wang Chenghao has taken the "Spiritual Gong Pill" almost as candy since he was a child, and he must take it every day, although the internal force value greatly exceeds that of children of the same age, but he has a deformed appearance with a lot of body hair and a body length of six feet. The neighbors on the street laughed when they saw him, saying that he was a long-armed monkey.

After a while, Yan Biguo, who was covered with meat, shook off his body full of fat oil, carried two wooden tigers full of dung from the thatched house next to him, and splashed them from the wooden door. Several people stood on tiptoe and looked towards the wooden door, only to see that the feces were drenched all over Wen Xuan's body, and there was nothing clean in the body. A few people laughed outside the thatched house, Zeng Yuming only said: "Wonderful, wonderful, this is really smelling the fragrance for ten miles, and a hundred steps are fragrant, haha!" After that, a few people laughed and left......
