Chapter 66: The Show Begins

"Bet?" Xie Xuanan looked up.

"Yes. He Zhi smiled leisurely, "Didn't you say that I must have blood? Do you dare?"

"What are you going to bet on?" Xie Xuan'an's face didn't change much, but his eyes seemed to be a little more angry than before.

"Hey! If I win, you'll have to stay and help me perfect my boxing. If I lose, you can mention the conditions. He Zhi chuckled, controlling himself not to show his excitement too obviously.

"You really don't have blood?" Hearing He Zhi's voice fall, Xie Xuan'an's eyes moved again, and the anger in him became more and more sufficient.

"Of course not. He Zhi said categorically, "If you don't believe it, find a way to verify it." ”

"Good. Xie Xuanan nodded, his eyes lowered, "I took your bet." The Imperial Martial Arts will begin tomorrow. Before performing martial arts, all martial artists must check their bloodlines. Whether you have blood or not, you will know tomorrow. If you really don't have blood, the old man will definitely do his best to help you create this amazing boxing technique. ”

"Then it's a word. He Zhi looked up to the sky and laughed, pushed the door and walked out.

An hour later, He Zhi became a small member of the third layer of "Fighting the Right Law" in the martial arts arena of the Qi Palace. After that, He Zhi retreated and practiced again, consolidating his realm, and waiting for the official start of the martial arts performance in front of the emperor.

Bang!

On the day of the start of the imperial martial arts, the six major school fields in the entire Beijing Division all erected flags more than 20 meters high. On the banner is written the word "Yanwu" of Douda. Next to the flag, there is a giant gong with a diameter of several meters. A muscular wrestler held a gong hammer in both hands that was thicker than his entire body, and struck it on the gong one after another.

Six school fields, six gongs, gongs, gongs, one after another, instantly spread throughout the entire Beijing Division.

Of course, at this time, almost half of the tens of millions of people in the capital gathered around the six large school fields, stretching their necks and waiting for the show to begin.

The "Six Armies of the Beijing Division", which originally practiced in the six school grounds every day, were dressed up neatly early and scattered throughout the Beijing Division to maintain order, and gave up the school field to the many grandmasters and heroes who were going to participate in the imperial martial arts today.

With the efforts of Gongsun Wuji, the "free faction" represented by He Zhi and his party also occupied a place in the martial arts in front of the emperor.

There is a big difference between the "Imperial Martial Arts" of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the ordinary ring competition. It is not only an individual warrior unit, but a force as the most basic unit.

All the large and small forces registered in the Northern Wei court, from the palace and princes, to the dart bureaus and sects with only seven or eight people, can sign up to participate.

Moreover, all the forces that sign up to participate in the martial arts exercise can choose a number of martial artists as the "martial artists" of their own side. In every martial arts exercise, there is no restriction on which martial artist the two sides of the martial arts will send to play.

Let's take Gongsun Wuji's Qi Wangfu as an analogy. Gongsun Wuji participated in the imperial martial arts in the name of the Qi Palace. Qi Liang is naturally the ace of the Qi Palace. But at the same time, Gongsun Wuji also signed up for his other three disciples.

In this way, the Qi Palace's mansion has a chief general, three deputy generals, and a total of four martial artists to participate in the imperial martial arts. When the Imperial Martial Arts draw lots to fight with other forces, the Qi Palace's Mansion can choose any martial artist to fight, and there is no need to let the main general Qi Liang make a move.

Some people may ask, in this case, what if there is a careless mistake? For example, if on the first day, the Qi Palace's palace faced a small force that was not well known. So he chose to let Qi Liang recuperate, and randomly chose a deputy general to fight. But the opposite side came prepared, let the strongest main general fight, and just defeated the deputy general of the Qi Palace. Isn't the Qi Wangfu a big loss?

If the Qi Wangfu wants to avoid this situation, it will have to let Qi Liang play every game from the beginning. In this way, aren't the other three martial artists of the Qi Palace's meaningless?

Such a situation was naturally taken into account by the Northern Wei court.

Because this grand event is a "martial arts exercise" rather than a "fight", the purpose of the martial arts exercise is to let the martial artists show their strength as much as possible, not just to divide the victory and defeat like a fight.

Therefore, in order to avoid careless mistakes, there are also regulations in military exercises. If the situation just now arises, the lieutenant general's miss will not be a direct defeat. The lord of the Qi Palace's mansion still has the right to appear on the stage to challenge. Only if the main player loses again will he be eliminated. Of course, if it is the other way around, the main general will appear on the field and lose directly, then he will be eliminated immediately. The adjutant does not have the right to challenge again.

The rules of this imperial martial arts exercise are actually not too complicated. In advance, Gongsun Wuji had already sent someone to introduce He Zhi and his party in detail. Therefore, He Zhi and his entourage did not have any doubts, and came to the "Tiger Ben School Field" assigned to them early.

Of course, these people gathered at the Beijing Normal School at this time were only the lowest level participating in the martial arts exercise. Just think about it, how could those martial arts masters, elders of great factions, and children of families with self-respecting identities go to a place like the big school field, so that countless ordinary people can watch as if they were watching a play? In most cases, only martial artists who are not tough enough in the background and lack fame will appear on the school field to participate in this round of "pre-selection".

Although He Zhi and his entourage received the courtesy of Gongsun Wuji, Gongsun Wuji's situation in Beijing was not good, and the "free faction" of He Zhi and his party did not even have a formal document. Therefore, it took a lot of effort for Gongsun Wuji to get them to participate in this pre-election.

After a few gongs and drums and a burst of firecrackers, the martial arts in front of the emperor began.

The first selection of the Imperial Martial Arts was not a martial arts competition, but a practice of the Northern Wei Dynasty for hundreds of years - to verify the bloodline!

In the middle of the school field, a high platform has been erected early. On the high platform was a huge bronze mirror, which was polished to a bright light, illuminating the figures around him clearly.

Below the high platform is a square table, on which is placed a dagger, a three-legged golden tripod the size of a watermelon, and a white jade figure with a mysterious surface. Behind the square table, an official who was at least at the level of a Sect Master sat solemnly and suppressed the audience.

The martial arts performance in front of the Northern Wei Dynasty has long been a household name, and there are many warriors who come to participate in it who do not know the rules. Everyone waited for a while, and then saw a young player walking to the center of the school with the roster.

The youngster unfolded the roster and soon began the roll call.

"Jiangbei Dart Bureau!" "Jiangbei Dart Bureau!" "Jiangbei Dart Bureau!"

"Celestial Wolf Gang!" "Celestial Wolf Gang" "Celestial Wolf Gang!"

......

For each name, the youngster will sing it three times in a row. This young general has the cultivation of the innate realm, and his shouting is full of anger, even if the school is full of people, everyone can hear it clearly.
