Chapter 26: The New Year's Gift

Seeing off Uncle Liu and a group of servants, Qing Jin looked at the pile of New Year's goods in the courtyard, many of which were packed in boxes!

Qing Jin went back to the living room to pick up the gift list, opened it and checked it, and couldn't help but be surprised, not only the master and the mother, but even the brothers and sisters of Qing Jin did not miss anything, and they all had a gift!

Qing Jin checked them one by one, the first line was given to Master Yue Buqun, a gold wire trimmed cloak, a set of precious four treasures of the study, this gift is elegant and chic, Yue Buqun is known as the "gentleman's sword", good literature, like to read poetry and books, there is no shortage of vulgar things on Huashan, and it is also appropriate to send a set of four treasures of the study!

The following is Shi Niang Ning Zhongze, a mink coat, and a jade-inlaid purple gold hairpin. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Qingjin nodded, to match the temperament of the teacher, the teacher must also like it!

Ling Hu Chong is a few jars of decades of fine wine, Qing Jin remembered Ling Hu Chong's gluttony as a drunkard, and couldn't help but smile, but he couldn't publicize it, he had to send it over privately, and it would be bad for the master to find out.

Lauderno's is a big piece to keep out the cold, and the gifts of the remaining juniors and disciples are also very thoughtful!

The little junior sister Yue Lingshan is a mink shoulder, a snow-white cloak, thinking that the little junior sister will see the gift, Le's red fluttering little face, the corner of Qingjin's mouth also showed a smile!

There are also a few fat pigs and fat sheep given to the Huashan faction, some ingredients, a few old ginseng and a lot of bruising medicine!

Qing Jin sighed lightly, the old man is really well-intentioned. In the past, the family celebrated the New Year's holiday, although they also sent some worship gifts to Huashan, but it was just a gesture, but this time it was the most valuable. Presumably, seeing that his imperial examination was hopeless, he was dedicated to practicing martial arts on the mountain, afraid that he would be wronged. Giving gifts is to make yourself a good relationship with people. Qing Jin smiled bitterly, with his current martial arts, it would be good not to bully others in Huashan, but no one dared to embarrass himself. The master and the master are also mostly loved, and the old man doesn't know why, which can be regarded as the icing on the cake.

But although I don't have to care about this, there is no shortage at home, and I can give everyone a New Year's gift, and Qingjin is also very happy!

The young men of the senior brothers sent the medicine to send it, but the master, the junior sister and the little junior sister had to go on their own trip.

When Qingjin finished delivering the things, everyone realized that another year was going to pass again, but the smell of the New Year on Huashan was stronger!

There are still seven days before the New Year, Yue Buqun suddenly gathered everyone and announced that he was going to hold the first big competition in Huashan in 20 years.

Now more than ten years have passed, Huashan not only has as many as fifty or sixty outer disciples, that is, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, but also each has accepted a lot of disciples.

A group of disciples in Huashan first visited the ancestral hall and kowtowed to incense. Then everyone gathered in the martial arts arena, a disciple had already moved two chairs and placed them in front of the martial arts arena, Yue Buqun stood outstandingly, dressed in a green robe, windless and automatic, although the expression on his face was light and calm, but Qing Jin still found that Yue Buqun's fingers were trembling slightly, obviously at this moment his heart was by no means as calm as it seemed!

Also, Huashan has not held a big competition for nearly 20 years, and now watching the Huashan faction gradually flourish in his own hands, how can Yue Buqun not be excited, how can he not be surging! Thinking of the once brilliant Huashan faction, thinking about his own spiritual sustenance, the leader of the Wuyue Alliance that collapsed in one day, the sect that made himself vow to revive in front of the head of the sect Bo Ling, now there is finally a trace of improvement, so that Yue Buqun's heart is not a hundred times a thousand times, it is difficult to calm down for a long time!

Even Ning Zhongze's face was also filled with this trace of memory, a trace of yearning, or nostalgia, remembering the green years spent in Huashan when he was a child, remembering the brothers and sisters who played together since childhood, and remembering the scene of the Huashan competition at that time.

Yue Buqun unusually didn't have a long speech, maybe he was excited, and after explaining the rules of the big competition a little, he announced the start of the big competition!

The rules of Huashan Dabi are relatively simple, first nearly sixty outer disciples compete, select the top twelve, and then compete with the disciples in the room, if you meet a good performance of the outer disciples, Yue Buqun or Ning Zhong will most likely accept people, male disciples will return to Yue Buqun, female disciples will return to Ning Zhongze!

Although the Huashan School is ranked second, it is only a means to motivate the disciples, and the symbolic meaning is mostly through the big competition, to find out the omissions or deficiencies of the disciples' martial arts, to correct them, and teach them according to their aptitude!

With so many outer disciples, it is naturally impossible for Yue Buqun to personally preside over them, and there is no help from many fellow disciples during the Huashan Quansheng period. The outer disciples were divided into four groups, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhong presided over one group respectively, Qing Jin and Lao Denuo were in one group, Ling Hu Chong and Liang Fa were in one group, and the outer disciples drew lots to determine their opponents!

The martial arts of Qingjin and Ling Hu Chong are so high that everyone can see it, but they are not convinced.

At the beginning of the big competition, Qing Jin and Lau De Nuo presided over a group of more than ten people in the competition, not only to rank out, but also to comment on everyone's swordsmanship, point out the shortcomings and deficiencies, and how to improve, with Qing Jin's current martial arts quality, it is natural to guide these outer disciples. Although Lau Denuo is a little reluctant, his age is there, and he is the big housekeeper of Huashan, and everyone does not dare to make a mistake!

It's just that the swordsmanship of these outer disciples is really sparse and ordinary, but there are not many who can practice the "introductory swordsmanship" a little hot!

Qingjin also understands the reason, Huashan disciples have three sources, the first is that some wealthy families see that their children can't study, and their parents spend some money to send Huashan to let them learn some martial arts to defend themselves. This is also a source of income for the Huashan faction, and the disciples received in this case are generally not very well-qualified, and because of their good family background, there are not many of them who can endure hardships.

If you can't be favored by Yue Buqun and accepted as a disciple, you will generally stay on the mountain for a few years, and then you will go down the mountain. Of course, there are also unusual numbers, such as Liang Fa, who has a big restaurant at the foot of Huashan Mountain, which is quite wealthy, but he can't study, and he admires the prestige of the Huashan faction, so his father sent him to the Huashan faction to practice martial arts, and as a result, he was favored by Yue Buqun and accepted as four disciples. Shi Daizi's family background is not bad, he has practiced martial arts in Huashan Outer Gate for two years, and he has performed well, and he is also favored by Yue Buqun and is included in the door!

The second type is the children of poor families, whose families are poor and cannot afford to study, and they want to find a job for their children. Or if you can't raise a child, you want to send it to Huashan to practice martial arts.

It's just that Huashan is not a "good hall", for people who can't afford to pay tuition fees and have to manage their room and board, it is impossible to come and collect, there have always been two rules that do not collect, the first must first examine its qualifications and temperament, if it does not meet the entry conditions of Huashan, it will not be accepted.

Second, if the qualifications are met, it depends on the ambition of the person, if you plan to study in the mountains for a few years, you will leave with some superficial martial arts, and you will not accept it!

There is also a reason for this, first, they can't practice any advanced martial arts in a few years, and they go out and say that they are disciples of Huashan, which has ruined Huashan's reputation in vain; second, if they take these people, they will teach them martial arts, and take care of their food and lodging, if they pat their butts and leave the mountain after a few years, it will not be of any benefit to Huashan!

Therefore, only those who are dedicated to practicing martial arts, have not bad qualifications, and are willing to serve Huashan will be included in the door. Therefore, generally this kind of disciple does not take one out of ten, and most of them are difficult to meet Yue Buqun's requirements.

Of course, most of the disciples who can get started with this method will become the backbone of the outer sect of the Huashan Sect in the future. It's just that after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and many people still secretly go down the mountain after studying for a few years, which makes Yue Buqun feel very nostalgic, and there is no good way! Like Gao Genming and Lu Dayou, who were accepted by Yue Buqun in this case, and the outer disciple "Chang Ming" who collected intelligence for Huashan!

The third is the disciples that Yue Buqun himself accepted when he went down the mountain, which is also divided into two categories, one is like a young man, who is looked down upon by Yue Buqun, and then takes the initiative to find his parents and elders, explaining the intention, whether he can accept it depends on the meaning of the elders in this person's family, but this kind is very rare, only people with great talent for martial arts can make Yue Buqun take the initiative to accept apprentices, and this is also the case with the nine disciples Ying Bailuo!

The other type is like Linghu Chong, an orphan without a father or mother, when Yue Buqun goes down the mountain to walk the rivers and lakes, as long as he encounters an orphan who is qualified enough to be included in the outer door, he will accept it and bring it back to Huashan. Because most of these disciples can already make their sects home, their sense of belonging to the Huashan Sect is stronger than that of other disciples, and they are more loyal and reliable!
