Chapter XII

Not long after the kid came out, the middle-aged man in gray announced: "The test is over, and a total of 420 people have successfully broken through." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Then he continued: "First of all, I congratulate you on your successful selection and becoming a disciple of the Crouching Tiger Gang. My surname is Huang, and I am the steward in charge of the miscellaneous hall, you can call me Huang steward.

The Crouching Tiger Gang has been established for more than 1,000 years, and it is the largest gang in Ye County, with two deputy gang leaders and one elder hall, and the elder hall does not have a hall master, and participates in the major decisions in the gang together with the gang leader and the deputy gang leader. The following is a miscellaneous hall, a law enforcement hall, a tiger hall, an eagle hall, and a leopard hall.

Above the gang leader, there is also the Taishang Elders' Council, which is dominated by the Taishang Great Elder as the core pillar of the Crouching Tiger Gang.

Some of you with excellent qualifications will have a great chance of becoming disciples of the Tiger Hall and the Eagle Hall, which are often referred to as inner disciples.

The rest are temporarily miscellaneous disciples, that is, the outer disciples mentioned in the gang.

The period for inner disciples to learn martial arts is five years, and the period for registered disciples to learn martial arts for outer disciples is three years, during the study period. The monthly example for inner disciples is 5 taels of silver, and for the outer disciples is 2 taels;

It is worth mentioning that the inner disciple has to work hard to learn martial arts, and in the future, he will perform well and be loyal to the gang, and he will have a great chance of becoming an elder in the gang and a law enforcement disciple or steward.

It's even possible to become a gang leader.

Of course, outer disciples also have opportunities, things are not absolute, if you work hard and work hard, before the age of twenty, you can be promoted to the level of martial artist, loyal to the gang, you still have the opportunity to become an inner disciple, or even become a gang leader.

However, it should be noted that the current Outer Sect Registered Disciples, after the three-year expiration test, only one-third of the disciples can become Outer Disciples and enter the Leopard Hall and the Medicine Collection Hall. The rest can only be under the jurisdiction of the Miscellaneous Hall: guards in various commercial establishments.

Therefore, I hope that you will work harder, today you are proud of the Crouching Tigers, and in the future the Crouching Tigers will be proud of you. ”

Speaking of this, the Huang manager paused, glanced at the young man standing in front of him, and saw that he was still exhausted just now, and his eyes lit up at this time.

Seeing the expressions of these teenagers, he couldn't help but think of himself 30 years ago, how similar they were.

I couldn't help nodding, and then said: "Tomorrow you will have a day off, let you go to meet your relatives, and tell them that after this meeting, you will not be allowed to go home to visit your relatives for three or five years."

During the training period, there is one day off every month, that is, the first day of the month.

But the furthest can only go to the town of Crouching Tiger at the foot of the mountain, and you must return on the same day.

Of course, after the training period, there will be 20 days of vacation every year for you to go home and visit your family.

If you have any problems, you can simply register at the respective office and you can move freely. This privilege is only valid for inner and outer disciples.

Wait a while, there will be a miscellaneous office steward Chen to take you to the outer courtyard to rest temporarily, and after you return from vacation, you will be reassigned, and the people assigned to the Eagle Hall are not allowed to tell their identities to the outside world, remember.

In addition, remember: no fights or brawls in the gang and Crouching Tiger Town, personal grievances can only be resolved on the martial arts stage in the gang or town, and people must not be disabled or killed during the fight.

Have fun and relax. ”

As soon as the words fell, a man in his 30s came over and shouted: "I am Steward Chen, please come with me." ”

At this time, hundreds of teenagers rushed towards Steward Chen, and Zou Li also followed, at this moment, Zou Li felt a pair of sharp eyes looking at him, Zou Li followed his gaze, and it turned out to be the young man who quarreled a few days ago.

Seeing his slightly evil gaze, he didn't care in his heart, turned around and walked to a room with Da Zhuang, Liu Qiang, Fat Man, etc., the arrogant son, seeing that Zou Li despised him so much, had to look at him viciously again, and walked to another room surrounded by other companions.

Maybe his attitude was too obvious and attracted the attention of Huang Cai and others.

Huang Cai's mouth was fast, and he asked Zou Li a little strangely: "Brother Li, it seems that the one is not so friendly to you, when have you offended that kid?"

Liu Qiang, Wang Dazhuang, and the thin man also looked at him curiously.

Zou Li glanced at them and told them what had happened yesterday.

Huang Cai was still quick to speak: "What kind of thing is that kid, do you think that it is great if you know a little more things? Besides, why should you buy the medicinal materials you have bought from him, is it great if the family has money?"

The thin monkey also echoed and said, "That's, that's it, why should Brother Li's things be given to him." ”

Liu Qiang was silent for a while and said: "I heard that the kid's surname is Liu, of course, he has nothing to do with my family, and he is a descendant of a family in Yejun, but this family has declined, and he only has a little power in Deng County." There is a cousin who is now an inner disciple, and another cousin who is an elder of the Elder Hall. ”

When Huang Cai heard this, he said a little stupidly: "What about the family, what if there is a cousin who is an elder." Besides, if Brother Yi Li's ability has been trained hard in the gang for several years, he may be able to meet the requirements of the inner disciples? Besides, it is impossible for an elder to keep an eye on Brother Zou all day long! Even if he stares, what can he do if he does not help? If he does not work, an elder can bully the small in the gang?"

The thin monkey also said: "Yes, that is." ”

Wang Dazhuang hummed and said: "No matter what, Brother Zou, we are all towards you, as long as they dare to touch you, we will fight with him." ”

Liu Qiang said: "My brother is in the Leopard Hall, and I heard that even the elders can't bully the disciples of the gang at will. Just be careful after going out to help. ”

Zou Li smiled and said: "I, Zou Li, thank you for your support, but although my Zou family is a small family, if anyone bullies me, I will not be easy to provoke." After that, there was a cold light in his eyes.

The next day, everyone arrived in Wohu Town in less than half an hour by the carriage of the gang, and each went to see their relatives and made an appointment to return to the gang in the afternoon.

Although Yuelai Inn is managed by Liu Qiang's father, it is still the property of the Crouching Tiger Gang, and Liu Qiang has his own residence in Crouching Tiger Town.

Zou Li returned to the inn alone, saw Zou Fu, and told him about his passing test.

Zou Fu happily congratulated: "The young master got his wish!"

Zou Li also said, "During the study period of the Gang Middle School, I was not allowed to go home for three years, and I only had one day of rest every month. If there is anything at home that I can send a letter to Shopkeeper Liu of the inn or Shopkeeper Huang of Qinghe Restaurant, I can know. ”

On the second day after returning to the gang, Liu Qiang was recruited as a disciple of Hutang because of his superior qualifications, and the fat man, Da Zhuang, Thin Monkey, and Zou Li had medium qualifications, and were divided into outer disciples.

When Liu Qiang left, the fat man howled: "Why are you so lucky and recruited as an inner disciple, when you become an elder, you must remember the brothers of life and death when you were a child." ”

Liu Qiang slapped him, and several people laughed.

At this time, someone came to inform them and told them to go to the outer courtyard square.

When Zou Li and the others arrived, many people had already arrived, and after a while, more people arrived one after another.

Zou Li carefully observed, there was a high platform in the square, there were a few people sitting on the platform, and the newly registered disciples under the stage were lined up in nine rows, forty people in each row, according to this calculation, the number of registered disciples should be 360, the number of people who passed the test was 420, and only 60 people were accepted into the inner door.

Zou Li sighed: "These people are so fateful. ”

At this time, a middle-aged man with a fat face stood up and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, now listen to me, my surname is Qian, and I am the manager of the miscellaneous office of the outer courtyard, you can call me the manager of Qian, first of all, I congratulate you, it is an honor to be a member of the Crouching Tiger Gang, and in the next three years, you will spend time here."

Although you are now a registered disciple of the outer gate, which is much worse than the inner disciple, as long as you work hard, your future is not a dream.

Now there are deputy gang leaders, some elders, and even many stewards are from the outer door, qualifications and talents cannot determine everything, the hard work of the day after tomorrow is the most important, and these people are the proof.

Of course, among you, after three years, there will be an examination, and two-thirds of them will be arranged to serve as guards in various parts of the Miscellaneous Hall and become registered disciples, and only the remaining one-third will become true outer disciples.

At that time, the task of the outer disciples will be to collect medicine and escort goods, and assist the inner disciples and elders to protect the Crouching Tigers when they need it, and eliminate the enemies who dare to invade the Crouching Tigers.

As long as you have the strength and perform well, the Crouching Tigers will not forget you, and you will definitely be in the senior positions in the Crouching Tigers.

Of course, in normal times, you are also different.

In the process of training, the monthly routine for inner disciples is 5 taels, and the monthly routine for outer disciples is only 2 taels.

After the training, the monthly salary of the inner disciple will be 20 taels, the outer disciple 10 taels, and the registered disciple 5 taels.

Of course, if the outer disciples perform well and reach the level of martial artists before 20, they can also be promoted to inner disciples.

For the sake of your own good life, young people, work hard!".

When these teenagers heard this, they talked a lot.

A young man said fascinatedly: "If you can become an inner disciple, you can get more money, and with more money, you can buy dozens of acres of land, and you can also gather beautiful daughters-in-law, and it is best to gather a few concubines." As he spoke, his saliva dripped into threads.

A young man next to him said disdainfully: "My family has money, I just hope to learn advanced kung fu and become an elder in the gang, manage things, and help the family." ”

The fat-faced man was very satisfied with the effect, pressed his hand down, and then said: "Finally, I declare: 1. All of you must report your exact name, home address, and age and receive a waist card at the Miscellaneous Office;

2. Determine your own residence, all the vacant houses around this mountain can be freely chosen, a small courtyard for four people, after selection, report to the miscellaneous office for registration;

3. They will not be allowed to return home to visit their relatives for the next three years, and only those who purchase personal belongings in Wohu Town on the first day of each month must return on the same day;

Fourth, tomorrow morning together to go to the outer courtyard of the Tibetan scripture building to receive martial arts and martial arts, each person can only take one copy, that is, a practice, a technique, without the permission of the gang, not to teach each other, otherwise, the martial arts will be abolished, expelled from the Crouching Tiger Gang, and the heavy will be executed, I hope you will remember.

5. Disciples in the gang are not allowed to fight, if there is a personal grudge, they can go to the gang to solve the martial arts, and at the same time, they can also seek a solution from the law enforcement hall in the gang, and it is strictly forbidden to kill people at will or cripple people. Outside, the disciples in the gang should help each other, and those who do not save each other will be punished, and those who are serious will be expelled from the gang or even executed. ”

At the end of the speech, the fat-faced man who called Qian Steward spoke in a more and more stern tone, even a little cold, and his gaze swept over the new disciple like a knife.

These unworldly teenagers felt a chill on their bodies when they heard this.
