Chapter 39: Tangjiabao
At this time, it was almost noon, the river was windy and sunny, and the fortune boat was running smoothly.
Several people went down to the cabin and instructed the ship's family to prepare a table of wine and food.
This lucky boat is not as big as the Huafanglou boat that Bai Ya sat on before, and the space of the pointed bottom boat is not as large as that of the flat-bottomed boat. There are not many stocks on board, and it is necessary to dock many times to replenish food and water on the way, but there are trawls behind the boat, and fresh fish and shrimp can be eaten from time to time.
Today, the ship has just left the shore, the vegetables are fresh and the meat is tender, and the river fish is fat, and a table of wine and food makes everyone move their fingers.
Bai Ya was on the table, but he didn't ask questions in a bad way. Instead, he first asked for a small jar of rice wine brewed by the boatman's family, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and entertained these friends.
Although he was an otaku in his previous life, his marketing work was indispensable for drinking and socializing. After the wine table method was used, Lu Yuan and Jiang Wu couldn't refuse, and suddenly drank red-faced.
As Bai Ya expected, these people are still young after all, and they don't have so many fancy intestines. As long as you are willing to lower your profile, people will not reject people thousands of miles away. Lu Yuan and Jiang Wu gradually relaxed under the influence of alcohol, and the three of them began to call themselves brothers, and their relationship was much more harmonious, not as rusty as before.
However, the sick-looking young man Tang Hunt still kept a clear head, deducing that he was in poor health, only eating vegetables and not drinking, obviously still having doubts about the white cliff that suddenly appeared. The other two girls also tasted the same, their heads together, and whispered private words.
"Brothers, which martial arts halls are opening their doors to recruit apprentices this time?" Bai Ya saw that the atmosphere was almost brewing, and finally got down to business.
"There are about more than a dozen, but among them, only the Zhenwu Dojo and the Ling Tian Martial Pavilion are valued by everyone, the former was created by the disciples of Qingcheng, and the latter is backed by the Emei Ling Tian Pavilion......"
Jiang Wu, a tall young man with freckles on his face, was a little drunk and took the lead in opening the conversation basket.
"Why do these martial arts halls arrange the time for recruiting apprentices at such a time?" Bai Ya nodded and asked strangely.
When he first crossed, it was still early autumn in the world, but now that it was winter, it didn't seem like a good time to enroll.
"Hehe, Brother Xian doesn't know, Chengdu is the capital of Dashu, surrounded by many famous mountains and mountains, and all major sects have industries in the city. Especially the big and small martial arts halls, there are no less than 100 places in the city......"
Lu Yuan was also a little drunk, he was a heroic and refreshing person, after clinking glasses a few times, seeing that the Baiya wine was empty, he did not shirk, and he immediately felt very happy, and his attitude became enthusiastic.
With Lu Yuan and Jiang Wu's narration, Bai Ya slowly gained a little understanding of the small rivers and lakes in Chengdu.
Chengdu City has more than 100 martial arts halls, and behind these martial arts halls are large and small sects, both small sects and small sects, as well as immortal martial arts sects similar to King Kong Temple that occupy the entire mountain range and the blessed land of the cave.
If these martial arts halls open their doors and rob the resources of martial arts, I am afraid that Chengdu City will be chaotic every day. Therefore, every year, the martial arts hall in the city will privately agree on the recruitment time to stagger each other, so that the martial arts students in the territory can choose freely.
"That'...... When these martial arts halls recruit apprentices, what kind of exam content are they?" Bai Ya asked curiously, "Is it to evaluate bravery, or to test the strength?"
"Different martial arts halls have different ways of recruiting apprentices, and there will be some new tricks every year. Before the test, no one knew what it was. Lu Yuan shook his head and smiled, "However, courage, qualifications, and comprehension will all be considered, and there will also be a literary test!"
"Wen Test?" Bai Ya was taken aback, this is really ...... Unexpected!
He was also a college graduate in his previous life, but this world obviously doesn't take any mathematics, physics and chemistry, politics, economics, and English. The so-called literary examination is only afraid of personal quality and moral character.
Linked to the words of the Washing Dao Lang, the old beggar, and the two old monks of the King Kong Temple, this is probably the Xianwu Sect is initially testing the hearts of the disciples of the sect. In other words, it's to look at your worldview, outlook on life, your values.
If the three views are not correct, no matter how good the qualifications are, they are likely not to accept them.
This Nima, as soon as a certain body entered the sect, it was praised as a treasure, and then it was counterattacked by Dick Si and slapped in the face?
Bai Ya secretly complained, feeling a little helpless. If this essay test is very important, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to enter the eyes of the examiner.
The boy surnamed Bai who he possessed had recognized words before, but it was limited to the commonly used simplified small seals. If Bai Ya is asked to write with a pen, whether the style is in line with it or not is not mentioned for the time being, it is estimated that countless small crabs can crawl out of the rice paper.
"If so...... If you don't take the literary test, just rely on your courage qualifications, can the martial arts hall accept people?" Bai Ya asked with a bitter face.
"If you don't take the exam...... Most of them are children under the age of 10. Lu Yuan and Jiang Wu looked at each other, and said hesitantly, "There are very few other martial artists who have been accepted by exception!"
When Bai Ya heard this, he couldn't help sighing, sometimes there must be in life, and it is useless to force it. Anyway, he just went to see it first, so he didn't need to be in such a hurry.
He was about a month old, and he was only fourteen years old. It doesn't matter if there is no martial arts hall to recruit for the time being, he has two martial arts that can lay the foundation, and then ask a teacher to practice calligraphy, and it will be too late to go to the martial arts hall to take the exam after two years.
Knowing that it was difficult for his family to be on the list now, Bai Ya's interest suddenly decreased greatly, and he didn't mention the recruitment of apprentices in the martial arts hall, and began to relax and chat with a few people.
However, he didn't bother to ask, but learned a lot of information from the bland chat.
Lu Yuan and the others had introduced themselves before, but Bai Ya now knew that they were all from martial arts families, and their ancestors had many famous martial artists.
The Jiangyou Lu family, where Lu Yuan and Lu Qing's brothers and sisters are located, is good at boxing and kicking, and sure enough, as Bai Ya thought when he was in the inn, his ancestor was from Wu Yue. Although he moved to Shudi River Oil City a long time ago, his kung fu still followed the "Southern Boxing" lineage.
The brothers and sisters Jiang Wu and Jiang Nan were born and raised in Shu, and their ancestral home was Yinping, which suddenly made Bai Ya more vigilant and secretly pay attention.
This is because Yinping County is the northernmost part of Yizhou, adjacent to Longxi County, and closer to Didao City than Hanzhong. The two siblings didn't know about the flood of the Tao River and the "feat" he had done in Didao City!
However, among these young people, what Bai Ya cares about the most is the handsome young man with a sickly face, because his surname is Tang and his family lives in "Tangjiabao" in Jiangzhou!
When Tang Hunt introduced himself before, he didn't pay much attention to it. But as everyone chatted, Bai Ya finally realized that Jiangzhou was Chongqing in the previous life, and the "Pakistani country" in the far Cuban Shu.
When Tang Hunt inadvertently mentioned that he lived in Tangjiabao, Bai Ya finally contacted the young man who looked like a Chinese girl in front of him with the famous "Tang Gate" in his previous life.
In his previous life, Bai Ya liked to read books and play games, and liked to study evidence, so he knew that the Tang Sect was not completely fictional, at least its secret weapons and poisons did have prototypes and character sources in history.
"Are there any disciples of the Tang family who are good at secret weapons and poisons?" Seeing that Tang Hunt slowly began to join the topic, Bai Ya finally couldn't help but be curious and asked.
"Hehe, Jiangzhou has a lot of minerals, and it's not a new thing for the children of the Tang family to be good at refining weapons!" Hearing Bai Ya's question, several people around him let out a good-natured laugh.
"Well, Jiangzhou has a lot of gold and stone mines, and Tianyu Fufetch will be to blame! My Tang family has produced refining masters in every generation, and they are proficient in the way of hidden weapons. If you need it at any time, I hope to take care of my family's business!" The audience talked about the head of the family, and Tang Hunt's flat face also had a hint of self-satisfaction.
"As for refining poisons...... But it's not my Tang family. Tang Zhan continued with a smile, "Ba County is close to southern Xinjiang, there are many foreign races in the territory, as well as evil sects such as Voodoo Sect and Barbarian Gu Mountain, and the Tang family only refines poisons for self-protection!"
"The Gu Poison Sect of the foreign races in Southern Xinjiang is indeed hateful, if it weren't for the fact that the Jixia School Palace has a medical branch in Jiangzhou, I am afraid that these evil sects will make the disaster even worse!" Jiang Wu loved and hated clearly, and said indignantly at the moment.
"Brother Bai, I heard you say before that Ling Zun is a lay disciple of King Kong Temple, I wonder if he has left some family learning?" Tang Zhan glanced at Bai Ya and asked with a smile.
This beautiful boy's suspicion is really serious! Bai Ya couldn't help muttering to himself in his heart, but he was not afraid of this kind of temptation.
Hui Nan's modified Vajra Tiger Fist, as well as the Vajra Mudra left to him by Hui Kong, these two foreign kung fu have deep Buddhist martial arts imprints, as long as they learn from each other, he believes that these "knowledgeable" family children will definitely be able to recognize it.
"My father did leave two Buddhist martial arts, but they were both foundational martial arts. Bai Ya replied with a smile, "If you have the opportunity these days, I hope that Brother Tang will give you advice!"
"Brother Bai is polite, we are all martial apprentices who have just entered the martial arts, we can't talk about any teaching, we just learn from each other to confirm it!"
Hearing Bai Ya's recognition, Tang Hunt's face softened, and he finally relaxed. As a child of a family, he naturally understands the difficulty of seeking martial arts, even if the Xianwu Sect lays a foundation for martial arts, it is not comparable to the rivers and lakes, and it is difficult for ordinary people in the world to get in touch.
As long as Bai Ya really has authentic Buddhist martial arts, and nine times out of ten he is a good family, then the purpose of approaching them is very simple, and there will be no ulterior motives.
The others also understood this truth, and the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became more harmonious. The two girls also occasionally joined the conversation, and they were no longer as restrained as before.
......
In the following days, Bai Ya had a few discussions with everyone during the replenishment of the Fu Boat docking, and after revealing the two martial arts on his body a little, he was completely integrated into this small circle.
Although Bai Ya has done great things twice in Liangzhou, he is not very clear about what level of his martial arts is.
All along, the martial artists that Bai Ya has come into contact with are much more clever than him. If you don't cheat and don't fight for your life, normal battles are basically not the same enemy.
He heard Hui Nan say that he was dissatisfied with his foundation, but there was also a difference between superior and inferior martial arts foundation stage. It wasn't until now that he had a friendly exchange with a few of his peers that Bai Ya roughly estimated his martial arts skills.
Among them, Lu Yuan's martial arts are the highest, he is eighteen years old, his body has passed the stage of rapid development, and his foundation tends to be complete. No wonder he said that he couldn't enter the martial arts hall in Chengdu this time, and the elders in the family wouldn't let him go.
Tang Hunt and Jiang Wu are about the same age, Tang Hunt is fifteen and the month is smaller, and Jiang Wu is sixteen and the month is larger. The martial arts of the two are in the middle of Baiya, and they have their own strengths.
Jiang Wu is gifted and has outstanding physical conditions. Everyone said that he took the exam this time, as long as the literary test was acceptable, there would definitely be a martial arts hall for him, but it was difficult to say whether it would be Zhenwu and Ling Tian, after all, the requirements of the big sect were also the highest.
Tang Hunt's health is much worse, and I heard him say that he was sick when he was a child and left a dark wound. But this person is witty and changeable, full of fancy when facing the enemy, and has outstanding secret weapon kung fu, and it is estimated that there is no problem in being on the list.
As for Lu Qing and Jiang Nan, they are about the same age as Baiya. Especially Lu Qing is still a few months younger than Baiya, this time he just followed his brother to gain knowledge, and he didn't care if he could be on the list.
Therefore, there is actually only one person who has a problem......
