May 15th, the day of entering the Martial Arts Pavilion.

Li Wuchang was very excited, got up early in the morning, dressed up, wiped the short knife carefully, and hid it around his waist.

The reason why he brought a knife was because Li Wuchang heard that there might be a move in the Martial Arts Pavilion, there were organs in it, and there were also masters of the Pavilion, although he made up his mind not to do it, but he was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

After making preparations, Li Wuchang rushed to the Dongli Restaurant, ready to meet Jiang Minglun, and then go to the Imperial City Martial Arts Pavilion together.

Jiang Minglun and Zhao Xun are there.

Two other friends also came, namely cousins Zhai Changping and Lu Desheng.

"Li Gongzi, I'm going to go out of the city on an errand, and I want to ask Li Gongzi to take in my cousin. Zhai Changping explained his intentions.

The Martial Arts Pavilion is over, and excellent talents need to arrange errands.

The actions of the imperial court were very fast, and more than 400 people in front of the Wudao Pavilion were assigned errands, a small number of them were directly assigned to various yamen in the capital, some people went directly to Jizhou, went to the battlefield to fight the Khitans, and some people were assigned to various places to suppress bandits.

A few days ago, the imperial court sent a messenger to recruit bandits from all walks of life, and the effect was not bad, many bandits have reformed themselves, but there are still many diehards who are stubborn, still killing people and setting fires, robbing houses and houses, and even storming the official yamen, doing all kinds of evil, and there are more gangs from all walks of life taking the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Bandits are rampant, and they can't be suppressed if they are not suppressed.

Zhai Changping's martial arts skills are good, and he was assigned to the bandit squad of Anding County, Yongzhou, and became a small leader, and the big boss at the top was Xue Shanglin, the assassin of Yongzhou.

I have to set off today, Zhai Changping is not worried about his cousin Lu Desheng, so he came to the door and hoped that Li Wuchang would arrange an errand for Lu Desheng to take care of one or two.

Li Wuchang first gave a brief introduction to Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Lu will follow me in the future, and Brother Zhai will go to suppress the bandits with peace of mind." ”

Zhai Changping arranged his cousin, hugged his fists at everyone, and turned around and walked away in style.

handed over Lu Desheng to Zhao Xun, and Li Wuchang and Jiang Minglun went to the imperial city together.

Jiang Minglun was carrying a big knife on his back, his face was serious, and he looked like he was going to battle.

Li Wuchang smiled and said, "Minglun, why are you doing this, it's like a war?"

Jiang Minglun said solemnly: "I heard that if you want to take out good things from the Martial Arts Pavilion, you have to use your brain if you don't use your hands, I have a normal brain, see if I can come up with a good knife with a lot of strength." ”

Li Wuchang laughed and said, "Your opening style is enough, don't worry." ”

Although Li Wuchang tried his best to comfort him, Jiang Minglun was still a little nervous, it seemed that he really wanted to get a good knife, and the knife he was using was indeed not very good.

Wudao Pavilion is located next to the Shunyi Gate in the west of the Imperial City, covering an extremely wide area, the southwest two sides are leaning against the tall wall, the north is the Dali Temple, and the east is the secretary province.

There were a large number of guards in front of the pavilion, and the atmosphere was very serious.

Thirty young men who were about to enter the cabinet stood together, waiting for instructions.

Surrounded by all the guards, Han Guang came to the front of everyone, took out a holy decree, and read a big push, which is nothing more than congratulations to everyone, and I hope you will redouble your efforts to repay the emperor's kindness.

All that's left is the arrangement for entering the Martial Arts Pavilion.

As in the past, the Martial Arts Pavilion is open to everyone for two days and one night, and what you can get depends on your creation.

There were so many people that Li Wuchang was drowsy when he heard it, and remembered the scene when he led the speech during the meeting, but the others pricked up their ears and frowned, for fear of missing something.

Half an hour later, Han Guang finally shut up, waved his hand, and signaled that he could go in.

The huge bronze door was opened, and several guards in strong suits led all thirty people into the Martial Arts Pavilion, and then slowly closed the bronze door.

"Wow, so big?" Li Wuchang gasped.

There are several large halls of the school field, two rows of tall and stout copper pillars stand in front of you, solemn and solemn, one floor is four feet high, and there is a staircase leading to the second floor in the southeast, northwest and northwest directions.

To the east of the hall is the arsenal, to the north is the material warehouse, and to the south is the secret vault and miscellaneous rooms.

The crowd, which had been unusually quiet, finally began to chatter.

Among the thirty people, except for Lu Xuanyi and Lu Xuandong's brothers, the others were still here for the first time, and they were all stunned, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

Lu Xuanyi clapped his hands, gathered everyone, and introduced, "Everyone be quiet...... Just now, Grandpa Han introduced the general situation, and I will add, there is no challenge in the first layer, the weapons are arbitrary, and the exercises are arbitrary, but there is nothing superb, so don't have much hope. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Good things are on the second floor, there are many small rooms on the second floor, and there are a lot of treasures, but there are challenges, including various mechanisms, as well as pavilion masters, everyone must be careful, one will be injured if you are not careful, and even die, everyone will weigh it yourself." ”

When everyone heard this, they all frowned.

The Martial Arts Pavilion turned out to be so dangerous.

Will it die?

It's not a joke.

After Lu Xuanyi finished speaking, he roped in a few sons, who were usually good friends, and whispered to him, seemingly telling some other details.

Li Wufeng, Han Dade, Mu Tianfeng, Lin Di and others all gathered around and listened to Lu Xuanyi's story.

The others were also in groups of three or two, discussing strategies, and Li Wuchang also saw Lu Ting, who was dressed in black face again, and was next to Lu Xuanyi.

Li Wuchang exhaled and said to Jiang Minglun beside him, "Why don't we take a stroll downstairs first and try our luck?"

Jiang Minglun nodded and said: "It's okay, anyway, there are two days and one night, let's take a look downstairs first, it's so terrifying upstairs, let them explore the road first." ”

When Han Guang introduced the situation just now, it was explained that there was no test on the first floor, and you could pick a copy of the exercises and take away a random handful of weapons.

The second floor is the same, the exercises and weapons can be taken away the same, but it depends on the individual's creation, after all, the second floor is full of tests, in addition, there are also good pills, materials, etc., can also be taken away, no matter how much, but the test is more severe.

Li Wuchang thought about taking a look around the first floor first to see if he could pick up something missing.

"Yo, isn't this Impermanence?" a flirtatious voice sounded.

Li Wuchang looked back and recognized the person, Yan Zhong, the boss of the Yan family, he had a six-grade beginner level, this time he was lucky, he didn't meet any masters, so he also got a ticket.

"It turned out to be Yan Dashao, impermanence and politeness!" Li Wuchang saluted.

Yan Zhong is also a master of both civil and military affairs in Chang'an City, with a good family background, good martial arts, and a very good literary style, he is quite arrogant, and he is good friends with the second prince Lu Xuandong.

Yan Zhong admires the county lord of Ting very much, and usually likes to run behind the butt of the county lord of Ting, and He Yi, the eldest young man of the He family, and Liu Qi, the second young man of the Liu family, are rivals in love, and the upper circle of the entire Chang'an City knows it.

Lu Yuanzhi, the king of Qi, loves his daughter Lu Ting very much and has always wanted to find an excellent son-in-law.

Yan Chong, He Yi, and Liu Qizheng are all young people with both family background and talent, and Lu Yuanzhi has a good impression of them, but he has always been unable to pay attention to them.

Li Wuchang is not a person in their circle, they usually stay away from them, and when they meet, they just say hello and leave, and they don't bother to pay attention to Li Wuchang.

I don't know why Yan Chong suddenly greeted Li Wuchang today, and his tone was quite disdainful.

"Why don't you go to the second floor?" Yan Zhong squinted at Li Wuchang with a provocative look in his eyes.

Li Wuchang was inexplicable in his heart, and said quietly: "I'm a little afraid, Yan Dashao also knows, in the next martial arts mediocrity, let's take a turn on the first floor first." ”

Yan Zhong smiled and said, "That's right, it's better to be safe, so as not to get hurt." ”

Then he turned around and followed in the footsteps of the others and went up to the second floor.

Only Li Wuchang and Jiang Minglun were left on the huge first floor.

Li Wuchang frowned and said, "I shouldn't have provoked this Yan Chong, why is he doing this?"

Jiang Minglun said: "I have seen him a few times in Dongli Restaurant, I went to read poetry with Lord Ting, and he usually behaves very personable, and I don't know what I ate today, I seem to be a little angry with you." ”

Li Wuchang snorted coldly: "Inexplicable...... Regardless of him, let's look at ours, you go find the arsenal and pick and choose, anyway, you can take a random weapon out on the first floor, I'll go to the miscellaneous room for a look. ”

I thought of Shen Yuan's ghost disciple and the geography book that I brought out of the miscellaneous room.

Jiang Minglun nodded and went straight to the arsenal.

Li Wuchang came to the miscellaneous room in a leisurely manner.

"This miscellaneous room is too messy. ”

On the left are rows of tall bookshelves full of books, and on the right are rows of cabinets, and I don't know what they contain.

It's been a long time since anyone has been here, it's covered with dust and cobwebs, there are a lot of books on the floor, and there are some bottles and cans, and the light is not very good, it looks like a long-abandoned library.

Li Wuchang covered his nose, frowned, came to the right, rummaged through a few cabinets, and found that in addition to dust, there were some bottles and cans, broken copper and iron, and nothing else.

"Why nothing?"

Li Wuchang opened more than a dozen cabinets, most of them were like this, so he came to the left to see what books were on the shelves, there were many bookshelves, and there were signs on the shelves to introduce them, most of them were a few words indicating the category.

"Wild History, Geography, Strange Chronicles, Note...... And medical books?"

Li Wuchang walked to the shelf marked with medical books, smiled, took out one casually, patted the dust, and after turning a few pages, he found that it was just an ordinary medical book, which talked about the treatment of colds and flu and the like.

At a glance, I found that the shelves were about three zhang long and one zhang high, with a total of four floors, and there were thousands of books on them.

There are so many books, how can they all be ordinary medical books, there is no reason.

Li Wuchang brought a ladder from the side, climbed up, and read the books on the fourth floor, most of which were casually glanced at and stuffed back, because most of these were basic medical theories, and there was no need to read them carefully.

The time to read medical books passed very quickly, an hour passed in a flash, Li Wuchang still read it with relish, although these books were of little value to him, but his old problems were committed again, and if there were medical books, he wanted to turn them over and take a look.

"Hey, what is this?"

Li Wuchang had just finished flipping through one book, put it back on the shelf, picked up the next one, and found that the book was very old, the pages were yellow, and there was not even a title on it.

I opened it and looked at it.

"It turned out that it was about pills!" Li Wuchang looked at a few pages, and found that he was talking about the theory of alchemy, and finally stopped putting it back on the bookshelf, and had the idea of reading it carefully.

Flipping down, I found that some specific pill refining processes were recorded.

"Damn, Tuojing Dan, all this kind of medicine for cheating?"

Tuojing Dan Li Wuchang has heard of it, a kind of medicine that boosts seedlings, and is used to expand the meridians.

"Qi Scattering Pill?"

After turning a few pages, I found that it was another pit medicine I had ever seen, which was the Qi Disperse Pill used by Han Dazhi.

Why are they all harmful things, what kind of book is this?

Li Wuchang frowned and continued to flip.

"Hmm? Three-day Death Pill, what's that? That's too domineering, isn't it...... Wow, cartilage scattered?...... Why is it this kind of harmful medicine, grandma is a bear, I like it!"

The more Li Wuchang watched, the more excited he became.

"Stunned, where are you?" Jiang Minglun's voice sounded.

"Here!" Li Wuchang replied.

Jiang Minglun rushed over, holding a big knife in his hand, very powerful.

"Minglun, this is the knife you chose? Why do I look a bit like a golden wire big ring knife, this is a knife that only the dragon set character holds, is it not suitable for you to hold it?" Li Wuchang jumped off the ladder.

Jiang Minglun waved the big knife, felt good about himself, and said with a smile: "What's not suitable, this knife is made of very good materials, although the appearance is not very good, but I am quite comfortable with it, there is really nothing good on the first layer, I have picked it for so long, this one is like a point." ”

After a pause, he asked again: "By the way, stunned, have you picked any good things, do you want to continue to choose, or go to the second floor?"

Li Wuchang raised the book in his hand and said, "It's okay, I picked a medical book, turned a few pages, and was still a little interested, so I won't read it, there are too many books, let's go to the second floor." ”

This nameless medical book is full of that kind of harmful elixir, and Li Wuchang wants to take it back and study it slowly.
