In the early morning, the sun has just risen, and the dew on the flowers has not yet dried. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Su Ming got up early, washed up and said hello to the doorman at home, and then left Su Mansion and went to a sword hall in the city.
This sword hall is called the Sacred Heart Sword Museum, it is said that after the first emperor Liu Tong unified the country, in order to make the country's military force stronger, he ordered the construction of this sword hall, and the owner of the sword hall, Ye Shengxin, was called the sword saint by the people of the capital. It is said that he once had a good time with Shushan Sword Immortal Li Xiaoyao, and he was on par, so the name of the Sword Saint spread in this continent, and the position of the hall owner was naturally held by him. After Liu Tong's death, the Sword Pavilion became an independent Sword Pavilion, and although it was not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, there was no conflict between the two sides. According to Liu Tong's words before his death, as long as the Sword Pavilion does not rebel and is willing to help when foreign enemies invade, it can manage it by itself.
Today is the day of recruiting apprentices in the sword hall, many people in the city have brought their sons to the sword hall to sign up, hoping that their sons can learn some skills here, even if they can't be the personal bodyguard of a big man, learn a martial art in the future, and get some military merits when they join the army, it can be regarded as a sword and a sword, after all, if ordinary people are not landlords and businessmen, they want to make a lot of money, in addition to killing people and goods, they are the most profitable in the army.
Not only the common people, but also many people in power in the DPRK and China also like to send their descendants to practice martial arts here, one of which is naturally the Sacred Heart Sword Pavilion is the strongest sword hall in the capital. The second is to hope that the younger generations will join the army like the common people, of course, not to let the children and grandchildren fight hard and the like, just to blend into the army, relying on their own relationship in the court to get the official title, so that there is no need to fight for their lives, but also to get the maximum benefit, other people's credit can be deducted most of their own heads, when they defeat the battle, they can also shirk their responsibilities as soon as possible, punish their soldiers, get more credit, and it will be much easier to enter the court to seek a high-ranking official in the future. These things could not have happened a few years ago, but after Liu Xie succeeded to the throne, these ministers got this opportunity to seek official positions for their juniors.
Su Ming didn't come here to seek a position, he just hoped to make himself stronger, no longer the former "waste" who generally needed the protection of others, he wanted to protect himself, and he also wanted to have the ability to protect his family.
The rules of the Sacred Heart Sword Pavilion are martial arts tests, you are better than others to be qualified to learn our swordsmanship, you lose at the starting line, why should you enjoy the same glorious rewards as the winner? This is also exactly the same as the world of the jungle.
Although Su Ming has also learned martial arts for two or three years, he has only learned light skills, although he is not confident that he can be selected, he is still willing to give it a try.
After the admissions person wrote down the names of all the applicants, the competition began directly, because there were too many people who came to sign up to learn art, so the competition could not be carried out one by one, if you want to compare like this, it is estimated that you have to compete from day to night, and it is only the first round of auditions.
The rules of the competition in the Sacred Heart Sword Pavilion are fifty groups for one game, and they are competed in a martial arts arena in the mountain behind the Sword Pavilion. This martial arts arena is very wide, it is said that the terrain here is complicated, overgrown with weeds and withered trees, the hall owner Ye Shengxin in order to facilitate the competition in the enrollment time, swept a sword, the sword qi will cut off the dead trees and weeds, the weeds are gone, the ground is flat, and the disciples are instructed to arrange this place into dozens of martial arts arenas.
The first competition began, and the candidates whose names were called all entered the competition arena to compete with their opponents, and Su Ming was also among them. Su Ming's opponent was a young man with a big knife, with rough eyebrows and very thick hands and feet, as if he had inexhaustible strength. Su Ming frowned, he was no stranger to this first opponent, this person was the son of Lord Lin, the dog-legged son of Zao Wou-Ki in the court, and he was usually bullied by him.
Zao Wou-Ki's name is Zhao Li, because he is a eunuch, his reputation is not good, and he has the nickname Zao Wou-Ki among the people, but this nickname is like a tradition, no one knows where it came from, but when it comes to Zao Wou-Ki, everyone knows that it is Zhao Li, but ordinary people will whisper this nickname when they drink and chat, if it is heard by some patrol guards, then they must be invited to sit in the Han Heavenly Prison, where it is Zhao Li's territory, and the people who are brought there have to shed their skin if they don't die, as for whether they are guilty or not, they don't care, they have to give you a small gift when they come。
The guy in front of him often bullied himself in the city, and the first opponent he met today was him, Su Ming was ready to beat him up, and then look at his size, thick as a cow. A child is only three or four years older than himself, it is estimated that he is an eleven or twelve-year-old child, what feed did his parents give him to grow so strong? When he was bullied by him before, he was always surrounded by a few small followers, and he had always been beaten by those little followers, today this big man rolled up his sleeves for the competition, Su Ming was the first time to see this guy turned out to be so strong, and secretly glad that it was those dog-legged people who shot instead of him, otherwise he might not even have the opportunity to compete now.
Looking at his blade again, a nine-ring knife was held tightly in his hand, and nine iron rings were made on the back of the knife, as if it could scare the enemy to death by sound. Looking at the entire blade again, it is five feet long, which is not much shorter than Su Ming, if he is slashed, he may become a complete waste, right? Anyway, he is almost like a waste person now, what is the difference between himself and salted fish if he doesn't fight? While thinking about it, he held his breath and condensed, picked up a pair of steel claws from the ground, and clenched them in his hands.
