Chapter 42: Friends

The area of the Zhenwu Dojo is very large, but when they stand outside, they can only see the tall walls of blue bricks and blue tiles.

The two black oil gates of the dojo are extremely majestic, two zhang high and more than three zhang wide. The door is inlaid with six tiger head copper rings side by side, each the size of a washbasin. This is also natural, such a tall and thick gate, even if it is made of wood, at least it takes several people to work together to open it.

There is a huge plaque hanging on the gate, with four golden characters on it, "Zhenwu Dojo", which sets off the two angry-eyed stone lions in front of the door, which looks majestic and magnificent.

At this time, the gate of the dojo and the small doors on both sides were closed, and there were several pergolas that looked like makeshift against the walls of the dojo.

Before Bai Ya and the others walked out of the street, there was already a buzzing noise from the pergola.

There was a long queue in front of each pergola, and the people in line were all young people, most of them were wearing strong suits and swords at their waists, and like Bai Ya and others, they were all martial arts students from all over the world who came to the martial arts hall to take the exam.

Inside the pergola, there were a few scholar-like people in charge of registration, and around the procession, there were warriors wearing dojo uniforms patrolling back and forth, holding long sticks to maintain order.

Before the white cliff approached, he was shocked by this scene. There are six pergolas here, and a rough estimate of the number of people in front of each pergola is at least fifty or sixty people.

If you count the registration wave in one hour, at least 2,000 people will sign up in one day. Tang Hunt once said that the time for the martial arts hall to register for the exam is one week, even if there are more people in the first few days and fewer people in the next few days, this will probably not be less than 10,000 people on average.

Of course, it is impossible for these 10,000 people to be included in the martial arts hall, but even if only one-third is accepted, there are more than 3,000 people!

Although Bai Ya had long known that martial arts were practiced in this world, this scale still shocked him. It admits more than 3,000 people a year, which is already comparable to the university enrollment in the previous life, and it has to be that kind of comprehensive university.

"Will they all be able to enter the Qingcheng faction in the future?" Bai Ya couldn't help but ask Lu Yuan beside him softly.

"How is it possible!" Lu Yuan couldn't help but bow his voice and replied, "According to the elders of Brother Yu's family, the number of martial artists in the Zhenwu Dojo who is recommended to Qingcheng Xianmen every year is only a hundred in the highest year, and even less than ten in the low year!"

"That'...... What about the rest of the people?" Bai Ya was surprised, this proportion was too low.

"If they can join the Zhenwu Dojo, they will already have a good future!" Lu Yuan shook his head and smiled, "If you want to become a leader, you can be a general, a military inspector, and a patrol with high martial arts, and you can almost be a servant, a guard, or a strong class if you have martial arts." If they don't want to be a leader, they can also go to the dart bureau to watch the merchant, and be a bounty hunter for the government......"

"You can also go to the Wilderness Savage Domain to hunt brute beasts and open up fields, I heard that as long as a hundred hectares of new land are cleared in the Wilderness Domain, the imperial court will give a feudal marquis, and at the same time, the land will also belong to you!" Jiang Wu added with a smile on the side.

"Nonsense, how can it be easy to open up the Hou, and if you don't have an innate realm, you are looking for death to go to the barbarian realm. Ordinary warriors went out to fight in 10,000 people, and in the end, not many people survived. Lu Yuan straightened his face and said solemnly, "I said you last time, and now I actually pass on such thoughts to Brother Bai!"

"Yes, yes, Brother Lu has taught you a lesson!" Jiang Wu smiled bitterly and begged for mercy again and again.

Listening to the words of the two, Bai Ya suddenly came to his senses.

This world is actually no different from his previous life, where everyone went to school and studied, but the vast majority of people don't necessarily want to be scientists, just to find a job in the future.

And the same is true of these martial artists in front of them, they are different from real martial artists such as Wang Peng and Hui Nan, and even different from Lu Yuan and other children of the family. They may not have the ambition to practice martial arts, perhaps just to have a good future.

"It's not early, you two go and sign up!" Tang Hunt interrupted with a smile and saved Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu hurriedly ran away, and took Bai Ya and his sister Jiang Nan to find a team to line up.

About half an hour later, the three of Baiya returned.

"How, have you registered?" Lu Yuan asked with concern.

"It's reported that Xiao Nan and I will be able to take the exam tomorrow, but it's just ......" Jiang Wu scolded with some indignation, "The sour Confucian in charge of registration actually made Brother Bai rank for the fifth game in three days!"

Lu Yuan and the others looked at each other, with a hint of embarrassment on their faces.

"The Shu people are xenophobic, don't care about the virtuous brother!" Lu Yuan comforted, and seeing that Bai Ya didn't seem to have any grievances, he immediately stopped mentioning the matter.

White Cliff's zombie face couldn't tell the joy and anger, but he really didn't care much about this kind of thing.

The Jiang brothers and sisters are from Shu and are the children of a famous martial arts family, and they are equivalent to red children in their previous lives, and they don't need political trials to be officials.

And his fake household registration is a young hunter in Hanzhong, which is equivalent to a foreign expatriate in his previous life, and he is still very poor. If he hadn't signed up with the Jiang brothers and sisters, the scholar in charge of registration would have lined him up for the last day.

Thinking of this, Bai Ya felt a little lucky. If he hadn't put down his skin at that time and deliberately contacted Lu Yuan and the others, I'm afraid that this journey would not have been so smooth.

After the three of them signed up, they were going to turn around to the Ling Tian Martial Hall and the Treasure Dining Hall.

However, the Zhenwu Dojo is in the east of the city, and the addresses of these two are in the west of the city, and the straight-line distance is not less than ten miles, so it is definitely not possible to walk.

So, everyone went to the official road and called a stagecoach.

The stagecoaches in Chengdu City have fixed specifications and can only be driven on official roads, not on street streets and alleys. There is a lot of space in this kind of car, and instead of being pulled by oxen, a canine brute called a "puinu" is used.

This thing looks very similar to the "Koma", with eyes like copper bells, canine teeth protruding, and the hair on the head spirals around and around.

However, it seems to have a docile temperament, omnivorous and easy to feed, although the strength is not as good as that of cattle and horses, but it is better than flexibility, image and might, not afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards in the wild, and it is more suitable for pulling a cart out.

After hiring the car, they finally caught up with the registration before nightfall.

After solving the problem, everyone relaxed, chatting while visiting the Chengdu Night Market.

Baiya once stayed in Liangzhou City, and saw the scene of the sleepless city that was bright all night long, singing and dancing.

The city was not only an important city in the border area, but also located on the Silk Road. There are many caravans, a large foreign population, and a developed business, which is comparable to the magic capital of the previous life.

Compared with Chengdu City, there are similarities and differences.

Chengdu's geographical environment is too good, and there is no flood in the Yellow River basin of the Central Plains from time to time. There is abundant rainfall all year round, a dense network of rivers, and there is no drought, and there is no wind disaster in the southeast coast, which can be described as drought and flood protection.

The Yizhou border is surrounded by mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and compared with other states and counties, wars are less frequent. As long as the people are willing to work, they can always satisfy their appetites, and compared with other places, they can be called comfortable and happy.

Therefore, Chengdu City is densely populated, the streets and alleys are full of wine shops, flower buildings, and the prosperity of the night market is no less than that of Liangzhou City.

Moreover, there are not so many Saibei Hu people here, and although there are many people in the night market, it is orderly. The Shu merchants on the street are hospitable, and the Shu women are slender and gentle, subtle and elegant, which is pleasing to the eye.

Everyone watched as they walked, and there was laughter.

Bai Ya looked at Lu Yuan beside him, and suddenly remembered a boring question that he had ignored before.

"Brother Lu, you have a family tradition of short-term martial arts, why are you so interested in kendo?" Bai Ya asked him curiously.

Hearing Bai Ya's question, a group of people suddenly quieted down, Jiang Wu and Tang Hunt had strange faces, and looked at Lu Yuan with an embarrassed expression.

"This ...... Since he was a child, the foolish brother has longed for those who are chivalrous and righteous, and who brave the world with a sword alone, so ......" Lu Yuan looked embarrassed and explained hesitantly.

"Fart, he has been stubborn since he was a child, and he was always taught a lesson by his uncle at home when he practiced boxing and kicking, and then he left a psychological shadow, and when he grew up, he wanted to change his dishes and try it!" Jiang Wu laughed, and unscrupulously exposed Lu Yuan's old bottom.

"You...... Looking for a fight!" Lu Yuan was annoyed and ashamed, clenched his fists and threw his fists towards Jiang Wu, and the two of them fought and ran forward.

"Haha!" Tang Hunt, who had always been quiet and elegant, suddenly laughed and rolled back and forth.

He was already handsome, and this smile suddenly made people more beautiful than flowers, and poured all beings, attracting attention from men, women and children on the street, and even Bai Ya looked a little dazed.

Tang Zhan quickly noticed the abnormality around him, Jun blushed, and hurriedly covered it with a fan, Lu Qing and Jiang Nan next to him finally couldn't hold back anymore, and each turned his face sideways to cover his mouth and snicker.

Bai Ya watched everyone playing, and suddenly felt a little melancholy in his heart.

Although he didn't have parents in his previous life, he also had an uncle who raised him, a group of good friends. In this world, he is alone, alone.

Although along the way, I have met the people of Gu Lin Inn, Wang Peng, the knife washer, the old beggar of Luolian Hall, and several senior monks of King Kong Temple. But these people are just passing by, and they are neither deep friends nor friends of the same generation.

The three people in front of him, Lu Yuan is simple, Jiang Wu is generous, and although Tang Hunt is quite deep, he is also innocent. If he could, he didn't want to lose all the friends he had made in this life.

It's just that in a few days, they will all join the martial arts hall and embark on their own martial arts paths. Although everyone can still get together in Chengdu for a period of time, once the gap in cultivation is widened, there will inevitably be a sense of distance.

Thinking like this, Bai Ya suddenly felt that he should find a way to join a martial arts gym as soon as possible.

"Brother Tang, junior brother remembers that you once said that there are more than ten martial arts halls recruiting apprentices this time, and there are any martial arts halls that do not require a literary test?"

"No need for a literary exam?" Tang Hunt put away his smile, frowned slightly, and asked cautiously, "Does Brother Bai want to join those small sects?"

"If the martial arts can be compatible......"

"No!" Lu Yuan and Jiang Wu's voices suddenly came from the front in unison.

"What are the Bai brothers thinking!" Lu Yuan walked over with an angry face, "The small sect is not rich in foundation, and the martial arts are biased, if you find that the future is slim, can you still betray the sect?"

"Yes, we don't look down on small sects, but at the beginning of cultivation, the path of martial arts is naturally as wide as possible. Jiang Wu said loudly, "If you make such a choice, aren't you joking with your ambitions?"

"Brother Bai, Brother Lu and Brother Jiang's words are also the answer!" Tang Hunt looked at Bai Ya and said with a smile, "Since we are determined to achieve something in the martial arts, how can we compare with those laymen who are just trying to make a living!

In fact, as soon as Bai Ya said just now, he already regretted it a little, and he remembered the reminder of the Yuanming Zen Master!

Despite this, the sincerity of Lu Yuan and the three still moved him a little.

"The little brother almost made a mistake, thank you for the warnings of the three brothers!" Bai Ya bowed towards the three of them.
