The Daxiao Field is a rectangular field, long from north to south and wide from east to west. The area is as much as 30 acres.

There are stands on the sidelines of the three directions of north and west, and the shooting range on the south side, which is one mile long from north to south, which can meet the test of the shooting effect of the three-stone bow.

The emperor and his harem concubines and court officials sat in the north stand, the east stand was given to the people of the capital, and the west stand was used to participate in the examination.

Zhao Fujin and Master Li didn't have time to go to the West Stand to inquire about Bai Sheng, because the exam began after they sat down with the emperor. In this era, there was no electronic amplification equipment, and there was no such thing as an opening speech before the exam.

The first test subject is very traditional and very traditional, and it is weightlifting.

It makes sense to take weightlifting.

In the cold weapon war, whether it is as a soldier charging into battle, or as a general to take the lead in rushing and killing, it is absolutely impossible to have no strength, whether it is internal force or brawn strength, it is always necessary to have strength to defeat the enemy.

If you don't have enough strength and your weapon flies as soon as it knocks with the enemy, isn't that a death?

Therefore, weightlifting is a compulsory subject, and those who lack strength will be eliminated directly and will be disqualified from renewing subject 2.

There is a question here, how much weight is the standard for passing subject 1?

The answer is that there is no weight standard, only a limit on the number of people, and the top 500 will be taken according to the results. In other words, no matter how much you lift, as long as you don't rank within 500, you will be eliminated.

In the school field, in the middle of the three stands in the east, west and north, ten stone locks of all sizes are placed in an orderly manner.

The smallest is shaped like an iron lock on a city gate, and the largest is as tall as an ordinary person's chest and abdomen, and at least two people wide in a hug.

Zhao Ji looked at the largest stone lock and admired, "Who can lift such a big guy?" He pointed to this stone lock with emotion and turned his head to ask Tong Guan beside him: "How much does this largest stone lock weigh?"

Tong Guan hesitated for a moment, bowed down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, this lock weighs four thousand catties." ”

Zhao Ji gasped and asked, "Tong Aiqing, can you lift it?"

Tong Guan smiled at first and didn't answer, but when he saw that the emperor had a posture of digging into the bottom of the matter, he had to say: "Barely make do with ......"

Zhao Ji was quite satisfied, and said: "Then you predict, is there anyone in the following lift who can lift this stone lock?"

Tong Guan said vaguely: "This old minister really doesn't know, just look at it." ”

The rules of the examination are: 2,300 lifters enter the stone lock field in turn, and choose the stone lock to lift at will, but as long as one stone lock fails to lift, it is considered to be over, and the result is calculated according to the highest weight he has lifted before.

When Tong Guan answered, a disciple from Weizhou had already entered the venue to start the exam.

This person walked directly to the fourth stone lock, grabbed the beam on the stone lock with one hand, shouted violently, and the whole scene was clearly audible, and then lifted the stone lock high above the top, and held up for a breath, and then his figure flashed, and the stone lock fell to the ground.

Zhao Ji asked again: "How many catties is this stone lock?"

Tong Guan said: "Three hundred catties." ”

Then he gave Zhao Ji a complete introduction: the weight of the ten stone locks in the field was fifty catties, one hundred catties, two hundred catties, three hundred catties, five hundred catties, eight hundred catties, one thousand catties, one thousand five hundred catties, two thousand catties, and four thousand catties.

While speaking, the disciple in Weizhou went to lift the fifth stone lock, that is, the one that weighed 500 catties, but when he was halfway up, he threw it down like a flash, and walked out of the field dejectedly, obviously, he himself thought that this result could not enter the world's top 500.

Speaking of weightlifting competitions, in fact, it is quite interesting, the first candidate lifted 300 pounds, people will naturally expect the second candidate to lift 500 pounds, and when people see that the second candidate also failed to lift 500 pounds and feel sorry, they will naturally expect the third candidate to create a miracle.

In addition, people also pay attention to the lifts bought on the lottery tickets in their hands, expecting them to stand out in the weightlifting exam, so whenever there is a lift bought by the audience, there will always be people shouting and cheering, so the atmosphere in the field is even more enthusiastic.

In the alternation of people's regret and cheers, the exam was carried out very quickly, and after an hour, more than 100 people had compared, of which more than a dozen people lifted 500 catties, and among these dozen people, only one person lifted 800 catties, but he could not hold a breath, not counting results.

Just when the audience was watching the excitement, there was a shocking scene in the examination room, a Tianbo Yang Mansion pushed a move into the venue, and actually walked to the smallest fifty catties of stone locks.

Since the beginning of the exam, this stone lock is the existence of no one cares, no matter which lifter will not try to lift this stone lock, because even if it is lifted, it is useless, 500 catties may not be able to enter the top 500, what is the 500 catties of results?

But what did the skinny-looking, twenty-year-old lifter want to lift it?

The audience was puzzled, but helpless. After all, no one is allowed to lift this small stone lock for the exam, so they can only watch him lift it.

As a result, some people were curious and asked each other what was this person's name? Even though the official in charge of invigilating and recording the results of the military department had reported the name of this person just now, how many people would have paid attention to it at that time?

It's just that there are always a few people with a heart among the nearly 10,000 viewers, so people know the name of this lifter, Duguhong.

Someone even reported his nickname, which was called Heshuo Excalibur.

In front of everyone's eyes, Heshuo Divine Sword Dugu Hong raised the fifty-pound stone lock in front of him, pointed directly at the northern stand, and said loudly: "Killing the enemy on the battlefield is based on exquisite moves, superior speed, between life and death, how can it be decided by such brute force?

As soon as these words came out, the audience was stunned, is this Dugu Hong crazy? Why does it sound like he is questioning the examination rules? What qualifications does he have to question the examination rules?

Tong Guan was furious when he heard this, and he said: "This rule is set by our family, what are you?

Dugu Hong was not afraid, and said: "You have the ability, you might as well come down and have a few tricks with me, if you win, I will admit that you are in this discipline!"

Tong Guan sneered a few times and said, "Just because you are also worthy of playing with our family, come on, blast this person out for me." ”

With Tong Guan's order, the four Ouchi guards jumped into the door at the same time, and one of them shouted at Dugu Hong: "Don't get out of here, delay for a moment and you will end up with a knife and a corpse!"

Dugu Hong threw the stone lock in his hand to the ground and said: "This kind of martial arts, even if you don't take the test, even if you are the top of the high school list, it is just a few brute bulls!"

After speaking, he strode to the sidelines, and when he passed by the west stand where everyone was waiting for the exam, he shouted at one person on the stage: "Murong Qian, do you still want to continue the exam?"

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy on the stage stood up and said, "Brother Dugu, why don't you wait for me outside the school gate?" ”

Hearing the words "Murong Qian", Li Biyun, who was sitting beside Cai Jing in the north stand, couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, his eyes looked at this boy carefully through the veil, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt like it, and said in his heart, Could it be that this Murong Qian is actually my great-grandson?
