Chapter 3 After the Famous Family
Early the next morning, Tianbao was woken up by a loud gong and drum.
Outside the door, Longchi Township Square has long been crowded, and the villagers are playing music and lion dances. Presumably, the officials of the capital are about to arrive.
In the center of the square, Kaile was dressed in red, with a big red flower on his chest, riding a red horse and saying goodbye to the nearby villagers. The old villager is very happy today, with two black circles under his eyes, he is busy, presumably the official document he wrote for Kaile last night is another "masterpiece".
Tianbao squeezed into the crowd and came to Kaile's side, and when Kaile saw Tianbao, he immediately dismounted to greet him.
"Kaile, this is the heart-protecting bronze mirror that Teacher Haoge gave me last year, you can take it. Tianbao handed a delicate bronze mirror to Kaile.
Kai Le said: "This is the reward you won the first place in the martial arts competition last year, right?"
"Yes. Tianbao said, "I will be in the countryside from now on, and I don't need it, but you are going out to see the world, and it may be useful to wear it." β
Kai Le took the bronze mirror and smiled slightly: "Brother Tianbao, others think that I am going to enjoy the blessings of the official, only you care about my safety, you are so good, and thank you for giving me the opportunity." Kaile whispered.
Not far away, the old villager shouted: "Folks, we Longchi Township has been farming since ancient times, and there has never been a martial arts wizard, and no one has ever been selected for the Qixuan Qiankun Tower, fortunately Kaile lived up to expectations and won the championship bravely, this is the ancestral manifestation, it is a blessing in the township!
"Yes!" the villagers said in unison, not realizing that Kaile was taking a dangerous path of death and life.
"Kaile was raised by me since I was a child!" "That is, if he is developed, he will definitely not forget me." The villagers began to talk about it.
"You're all in catch!" said the mayor excitedly.
Suddenly, the crowd was pushed through by two guards.
"Look, someone from the capital must have arrived! Come with me to meet you!" the village chief hurriedly tidied up.
The guard said in a panic: "Report to the township chief...... Officials of the capital, they ......"
"Where have they been?" asked the village chief eagerly.
"They bypassed our township and went straight to Quanshui Township!"
"What?" said the mayor, "they must have gone the wrong way, quick! Hurry up and send out the cavalry, stop them quickly!"
"Yes!"
"Bring my Maxima!" shouted the chief.
Sensing that something was wrong, Kaile quickly mounted his horse and rushed out of the city gate.
"Aren't you going to take a look?" a white horse stopped behind Tianbao, and it was Teacher Hao Ge who was sitting right away.
"I ......"
Before Tianbao could react, he was caught by Hao Ge.
The horse's hooves are fast, and they don't leave a moment. Soon after, Tianbao saw a magnificent guard of honor in the distance, the leading cavalry held high the banner of the Kaishan clan, and a man in green clothes behind him must be the official of this whole clan. Behind the man in Tsing Yi were dozens of fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys, each of whom rode on a group of white horses, and at the end of the line were nearly a hundred Kaishan soldiers.
"It's him!" Haoge was startled.
"Teacher, do you know him?" asked Tempo.
"The deceased. Hao Ge said coldly.
"Great, with the teacher's deceased to take care of him, Kaile will definitely be able to live a good life in the future!" Tianbao said.
"Shut up!" said Haoge.
I saw the village chief and the horses of the Longquan Township cavalry taking the lead in front of the honor guard.
"Who's coming?" said the man in Tsing Yi, his tone not at all surprised.
The township chief dismounted, and said respectfully: "Qiqi Shangguan, I am the head of Longchi Township, I have long heard that all counties and townships have selected high-quality teenagers to serve in the clan, and I have come to greet Shangguan. β
"No need, we still have to hurry, please get out of the way. The man in Tsing Yi said.
"Shangguan is dedicated to his duties, my generation admires! Kaile, come and meet Shangguan!"
Kaile dismounted and walked to the guard of honor: "Kaile of Longchi Township, meet Shangguan!"
"Township Chief, what do you mean by this?" said the man in Tsing Yi with a little surprise.
"Shangguan, this is a young man selected by my Longchi Township, and I hope that Shangguan will take it away and train him. The township chief said.
"I think you're mistaken, this time the whole clan selected the true martial arts boy, and there is no quota for your Longchi Township. The man in Tsing Yi said, "The notice issued by the patriarch is very clear, and the final list will be decided by the clan. β
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky.
The township chief was a little anxious: "Since each county and township chooses by itself, then our Longchi Township is also a part of the Kaishan clan, why don't we have a quota?"
"Joke! The Kaishan clan is vast, in a place like your Longchi Township, there are no less than 200 people in the whole clan, if there is one from each township, then we will simply recruit soldiers, and what kind of real martial arts boy will we choose?"
"Huh?" the township chief was shocked, "But, but our Kaile is very, very good, a cultivation wizard that is rare to see in a hundred years!
"Well, I'll tell you the truth. The man in Tsing Yi said, "Qixuan Qiankun Pagoda is the highest cultivation hall of our Kaishan clan, teaching the secret method and mystery of comprehending the soul of heaven and earth, which is by no means beyond the reach of ordinary people, according to the practice of the clan, in addition to their own conditions, the cultivators who enter the tower must be extremely good, but also need to come from the door of meritorious service to our clan, in other words, if you want to enter the team behind me, you must be behind the famous family, which is also the reward of our clan for meritorious families." β
"Ahh
"Those who have made great contributions to the Kaishan clan will naturally be praised by the clan, and their descendants will also receive a better education, we will give priority to such people in our selection, otherwise, the cow ghosts, snakes and gods can all be selected, so how can it show that the patriarch's divine grace has descended from heaven?"
"Thisβ" The village chief snapped.
Tianbao whispered to Hao Ge, "Teacher, he seems to have a point. β
"Nonsense. Hao Ge said.
"But. The man in Tsing Yi continued, "When I say this, I'm afraid you will not accept it." Well, there are 39 teenagers behind me, and if this Kaile can beat any of them, I will be admitted exceptionally! I still have this power. Hum. β
"Okay, okay, Kaile, you get on!" said the village chief.
"Can I use a weapon?" asked Kaile.
"Whatever you want. The man in Tsing Yi said.
The cavalry of Longchi Township consciously retreated, leaving a large open space, and Kaile held a long sword and walked to the front of the formation.
"Jinghui, you go to compete with him, don't hurt him. The man in Tsing Yi said.
"Yes, teacher!" I saw one of the young men walking out, with broad shoulders and a thin waist, and round and powerful arms.
The two exchanged their hands in a bowing hand.
Kai Le saw that the other party was empty-handed, worried that he would not be able to win, "Brother, please choose a weapon." β
Jinghui shook his head, clenched his hands into fists, and put on a fighting posture, only to see that his fists were bright black, and he didn't know what was attached to it.
Seeing this, Kai Le was overjoyed in his heart, and thought: My long sword is a quick move, and you have nothing else to resist but dodge. Immediately a sword slashed down on the head, this is a false move, I want to use this move to swing away the opponent, take advantage of Jinghui's unstable foothold, and attack with a fast sword.
Who knew that Jinghui did not dodge, but greeted him with his fist.
Kai Le was surprised: after all, the meat fist is not as good as the sword, and this sword is estimated to be cut off along with his wrist, and Kai Le wants to change his moves, but it is too late.
only heard the crisp sound of "dang", the cold light was shining, the lightning was flying, and the long sword was actually pushed open by a punch.
Kai Le's hand was numb, and when he looked back, he saw a black finger cuff on Jinghui's fist.
"Finger Tiger. Hao Ge said softly to Tianbao, "It is a close-quarters weapon, both offensive and defensive. β
Kai Le failed to strike a blow and then used a fast attack, and fought with Jinghui in close quarters, each sword was accurately bounced away by the finger tiger, only to hear the crisp sound of "dang" and "dang" on the battlefield.
The man in Tsing Yi said on the side: "I forgot to tell you, Jinghui was born in Gutang County, his ancestor and his father are the inheritors of the tiger forging skills, and his great-grandfather was canonized by the clan because of the miraculous effect of the finger tiger on the battlefield. β
At this time, Kaile was already sweating profusely, and he used the swordsmanship taught by Hao Ge several times, and each blow was bounced away by the extremely hard Finger Tiger, and the long sword became a burden, and the blade had been shaken out of several gaps by the Finger Tiger.
Kai Le's mind was in turmoil, a careless sword swing in the air, Jing Hui's toes were a little on Kai Le's wrist, the long sword immediately took off his hand and flew into the sky, Jing Hui jumped up, punched the blade of the sword, only to hear a crisp sound, the long sword was immediately broken into two.
"Okay boy! I advise you to stop here, Jinghui didn't exert all his strength just now. The man in Tsing Yi said, "He has received a family-style inheritance education since he was a child, and you are in a cultivation hall in a poor and remote country, you have no comparison! β
"Who dares to look down on our Dragon Pool's cultivation hall?" Hao Ge walked out of the crowd.
The man in Tsing Yi was surprised: "It's you?"
