Chapter Forty-Eight: Preparations for the Great Comparison in the Gate
Holding the token that every disciple of the Tang Gate has in his right hand - engraved with the big characters "Tang" in block letters, the waist card with a dark blue body, all the way unimpeded, went up the ghost and sorrowful halfway up the mountain, entered the gate pillar of the Tang Gate, and after returning to the Tang Gate, Tang Xiao didn't care about anything else, and ran directly towards the outer door.

Brother Tang Hao trained Tang Hu, I really don't know whether to be happy for him or desperate for him, and finally be able to talk to him properly. As soon as he thought of this, Tang Xiao began to speed up, wanting to see Tang Hu faster.
"Tang Hu. β
Tang Xiao knocked on the wooden door of Tang Hu's house and called his name, and it took a long time for there to be some movement in the house.
"Tang Hu, I've come to see you. β
The wooden door was opened, Tang Hu rubbed his eyes sleepily, he didn't wear the clothes on his upper body, the vaguely visible muscle lines showed Tang Hu's robustness and vitality far beyond his age, and the injuries that fell in front of him because of the inner door ring competition were also healed, and even the scars were not left at all.
Brother Tang Hao's medicine really works!
"Tang Xiao, come in. β
Tang Xiao entered the house without politeness, and closed the door with his hand. Tang Hu brought two chairs and the two of them sat down next to the table, and Tang Hu couldn't wait to speak before he sat down,
"Tang Xiao really has to thank you big brother, not only have all my injuries healed, but even the internal force has become smoother, and all the internal injuries have been completely cleaned!"
Tang Xiao followed Tang Hu and laughed,
"It's good if the injury is healed," Tang Xiao suddenly thought of something and patted his head, "That's right." β
"Huh?"
"Brother Tang Hao asked you to go to Linshan with me tomorrow. βγ
"What are you going to do?"
"Brother Tang Hao wants to train the two of us before the big competition in the door starts. β
"What!"
Tang Hu bounced up from the chair all of a sudden, his eyes widened and he looked at Tang Xiao's face with incredulity, Tang Xiao was stunned for a while,
"Don't you want to?"
Tang Hu hurriedly replied,
"Yes, 10,000!"
Tang Hu raised his left hand and pointed it at Tang Xiao's right shoulder, laughing,
"You kid is interesting enough! I didn't expect Senior Brother Tang Hao to be willing to train me, great!"
Seeing that Tang Hu was so excited, Tang Xiao was also very happy, so he began to explain Tang Hu's rules to Tang Hao.
"First of all, you must not be late, even if it is not for a short time, you will be punished to death by Tang Hao's eldest brother; whatever the eldest brother says, even if you are asked to pick up a knife and scrape meat, you must do it, because it must be a useful practice; if there is nothing particularly important that must be said, it is better not to say it, just do it; even when you are resting, you must be vigilant at any time, and you can't be sure when the eldest brother will attack you......"
Tang Xiao was passing on his experience and experience while worrying about Tang Hu's tomorrow in his heart, according to Tang Hao's eldest brother's habits, Tang Hu would definitely be choking tomorrow...
Tang Hu didn't know what Tang Xiao was thinking, nor did he know how murderous the person he would face tomorrow was, so he just nodded and silently wrote down what Tang Xiao said. I wish I was coming soon tomorrow!
"That's about it, remember to gather in front of the gate pillar before the end of tomorrow, and Brother Tang Hao will be waiting for us there. β
"Good. β
"Well, then I'll go back first. β
"Okay, see you tomorrow morning. β
"See you tomorrow. β
Tang Xiao just got out of the house, and Tang Hu jumped up and down excitedly,
"Great, this time the hope of entering the inner door is even greater!"
......
Tang Xiao pushed open the door of his house and found the beautiful figure sitting next to the wooden table,
"Tang Guo?"
"Brother Xiao!"
Tang Guo saw Tang Xiao push the door into the room and stood up straight, Tang Xiao waved his hand and motioned for Tang Guo to sit down, and he also pulled a chair to the table and sat down,
"You've been waiting a long time, haven't you?"
"No, I haven't been here for a long time. β
"It's only been a while?" Tang Xiao looked in the direction of the bed, "I don't know who took the clothes I put next to the bed to wash..."
When Tang Guo heard this, the roots of his ears instantly turned red,
"Brother Xiao, you hate it. β
"Haha..."
Tang Xiao smiled and felt a warmth in her heart, Tang Xiao looked at Tang Guo,
"Tang Guo has worked hard for you, and you have to come and bring me food every day. β
"No, it's not hard, it's not hard. β
"Tang Hu is healed, and he will follow me to train from tomorrow..."
Tang Xiao looked embarrassed. Tang Guo was stunned for a moment, and the discomfort in her eyes flashed away, and soon she said with a smile,
"It's just that more than one person has more chopsticks, and it doesn't get in the way. β
"Thank you, Tang Guo. β
Tang Guo was about to say something, looking at Tang Xiao's sincerity and unable to say anything, his face flushed slightly, and he hurriedly brought the food in the basket to the table,
"Hurry up and eat, the food is cold. β
"Good. I'm starving..."
Seeing that Tang Xiao couldn't wait to have one more mouth and gobble up, Tang Guo couldn't help but laugh,
"Eat slowly, if anyone is robbing you, don't choke. β
After eating, he accompanied Tang Guo to send the dishes and chopsticks back to the cafeteria, and the two went out for a walk in Tangmen, and after coming back, Tang Xiao had been studying the mental method in his own house, and went to bed early.
Tomorrow, it's another day away from Doorney Dabi...
At the end of the next day, Tang Hu got up early to wash up and ran all the way to the gate post, and when he approached, he saw two figures, one tall and one short, Tang Xiao waved his arms,
"Tang Hu, here!"
Tang Hu quickly came to the two of them at a faster speed, and as soon as he saw Tang Hao, Tang Hu immediately bowed down, and there was excitement in his tone that couldn't be hidden.
"Hello senior brother!"
"Yes. β
Tang Hao responded to Tang Hu without being salty, and directly dropped the two words "keep up" and turned around and quickly swept under the halfway cliff, Tang Xiao immediately set off, and patted him on the right shoulder when he passed Tang Hu,
"Let's go!"
The luck of the two of them increased quickly, and they quickly chased after the white-clothed figure who had been speeding in front of them.
After about half an hour, Tang Hao finally stopped in a small plain near the mountain, Tang Xiao gasped and thought to himself, why did the eldest brother, who can usually arrive in a quarter of an hour, deliberately take a long detour... Thinking about it, he looked to the side, Tang Hu supported his knees with his hands and panted, sweating all the time. Is it to test Tang Hu's strength......
"Come over when you're rested. β
Tang Hao's cold voice came, Tang Hu immediately breathed and walked quickly to Tang Hao, Tang Xiao also came over and stood up, the two of them noticed that Tang Hao was holding two sword-like weapons in his hands.
Glancing at Tang Hu, Tang Hao spoke,
"Next, the two of you will compete, don't use hidden weapons, use this,"
As he spoke, he handed the two twenty-inch bamboo swords in his hand towards the two of them,
"People who practice martial arts need to learn all kinds of weapons in the world, they don't need to be proficient, they just need to learn, and the sword is the beginning of all weapons, and it needs more practice. You two should get acquainted with it today, grab it and get started. β
Tang Xiao and Tang Hu each took a bamboo sword. This bamboo sword is extremely sharp, and there is no discomfort at all when the black line is wrapped around the handle, although the sharp sword body is not heavy, but it makes it much lighter and more flexible.
"Tang Xiao, come on!"
"Good!"
Tang Xiao held the handle of the bamboo sword with his right hand, his legs had already stepped away and rushed towards Tang Hu, the sword body brought a gust of breeze with the swing, Tang Hu saw that the time had come, he held the hilt of the sword with both hands and blocked Tang Xiao's blow, the fierce force suddenly pushed Tang Xiao upside down and pushed it out one and a half steps, Tang Hu did not let Tang Xiao stop for a moment, pulled his hands sideways and slashed towards Tang Xiao's left shoulder, and used the sword into a knife alive, Tang Xiao reacted in time, put the sword body across his chest and sandwiched his sword blade with two fingers of his left hand to block, and the side of his body dodged smoothly, but his left hand was in pain for a moment, and he was shocked,
Tang Hu's strength is heavy enough! No, we must quickly suppress him.
Tang Xiao didn't stop moving, carrying the bamboo sword towards Tang Hu, the bamboo sword blade swept out a series of green shadows and slashed towards Tang Hu, swinging the sword faster and faster, Tang Hu continued to resist, and for a while, the crisp sound of the "clang" bamboo sword cross hit spread throughout the entire small plain. Tang Xiao's sword swinging speed became faster and faster, and the attack became more and more fierce, seeing that Tang Hu was gradually at a disadvantage, Tang Hao's voice came,
"Alright, stop. β
Tang Xiao put away his sword and came back to his senses, Tang Hu also put away his sword and stood up straight, his face was slightly embarrassed,
"I didn't expect you to shoot your sword so quickly, if you continue to fight, I will definitely lose..."
Tang Xiao shook his head,
"Not necessarily, because you've just been blocking and not attacking. Your strength is very heavy, I can only use 'fast' to defend you, otherwise I won't be able to defeat you at all." β
Tang Hao nodded slightly, showing his appreciation for Tang Xiao,
"It's roughly true, if Tang Hu replaces his defense with merit, then the result may not be certain. Alright, Tang Xiao,"
"Huh?"
"Run five laps around this plain and come back when you're done. β
"Yes. β
After responding, Tang Xiao had already put down the bamboo sword he was holding in his right hand and ran out with his legs, Tang Hu saw that Tang Xiao's figure had disappeared from sight, and he was a little nervous when he looked at Tang Hao again. Tang Hao said to himself as if talking to himself,
"The descendants of Elder Tang Jue Eleventh should be the most powerful in the direct lineage, how could they grow up in the outer gate..."
Tang Hu's face was full of surprise, how many people had Uncle Shi concealed from him, and even the elders of the outer gate didn't know, how could this Senior Brother Tang Hao...
"Tang Hu, what happened? If you can, tell me the truth. β
Looking at Tang Hao's face, Tang Hu had trust, and without thinking too much, he naturally opened his mouth,
"Senior Brother Tang Hao, I don't know, but I heard that some of the elders' direct descendants have left the Tang Sect to live in an extremely secret place, and something may have happened to the inner gate..."
Tang Hao fell into deep thought, he didn't expect a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child to know anything, but he had also realized something, there might have been moths in the Tang Sect, so that the elders had to guard against it.
"Okay, don't talk about it anymore, I won't tell Tang Xiao about this. β
"Thank you, Senior Brother Tang Hao. β
"Alright, now I'll start with your reaction training. β
"I will do whatever Senior Brother Tang Hao says. β
Tang Hao's face was covered with frost again,
"In that case..."
"Ah, Senior Brother Tang Hao, why did you suddenly do it!"
"Concentrate and pay attention to defense. β
"Ahh
Tang Xiao was running at a constant speed, and Tang Hu's screams were heard one after another from afar, Tang Xiao cheered Tang Hu in the bottom of his heart, Tang Hu, come on...
The days passed, and the day set by Dabi in the door was getting closer and closer, Tang Hu made great progress in all aspects of his reaction, agility and control of strength under Tang Hao's devilish training, and gradually, the two of them went to carry water and firewood to the canteen for additional physical training. In the afternoon, every two people went back to help the canteen carry the grain by the carriage to the outer avenue at the bottom of the mountain, sixty or seventy pounds of grain were packed in coarse cloth bags, Tang Xiao and Tang Hu carried a bag on their shoulders and sent them to the gate pillar, and they had to go back and forth for about ten times until dusk was approaching, and a layer of calluses was worn out on their shoulders, but as four or five days passed, Tang Xiao and Tang Hu found that their physical condition was getting better and better, especially Tang Hu, who had never had such an intensity of training before, and felt more benefitsγ
Most of the affairs of the outer gate have gradually ceased to operate, and every Tang sect disciple is preparing for this unprecedented event, and there is no outer disciple who does not want to enter the inner gate through this inner door competition, but more inner disciples still choose to give up participating, after all, even if the internal force is almost the same as the inner disciple, there is no advantage at all in the exercises and the mastery of hidden weapons, it is better to treat this event as an interesting event.
When there was still about a month before the big competition in the door, the rules of the big competition in the door that all the Tang disciples were extremely concerned about were finally announced on the bulletin board outside Yu Ting, and the rules were posted before they were surrounded by water, and the outer disciples all applauded when they saw the rules, and they praised the wisdom of the elders loudly, and the attitude of the inner disciples was much more extreme, and they were all angry and didn't want to tear up this blank paper announcement without exception.
A blank piece of paper, how many people are happy and how worried!
