Yu Yan ignored them and went straight down the stairs to the third floor.

The layout of the third floor is similar to that of the second floor, except that in front of the stairs leading to the fourth floor is only a Taishi chair, on which sits a scholar who is reading.

Yu Yan looked left and right, and went straight to the stairs leading to the fourth floor. At this time, the scholar spoke. He said, "Just now Your Excellency made such a big move on the second floor?"

Yu Yan stopped, looked at him, and said, "The rule on this floor is that you can only go upstairs if you lie down?"

The scholar put down the book in his hand, and Yu Yan saw the words "Six Classics" written on the scroll.

The scholar said: "The beauty on the third floor is very good, Your Excellency might as well stay here and enjoy it, why do you have to go upstairs?"

Yu Yan said: "When I was on the second floor, they said that the second floor was good, and when I came to the third floor, you said that the third floor was good. If I don't go up to the fourth floor, how do I know that the fourth floor is not even better than you?"

The scholar said: "Your Excellency, have you ever heard a saying that 'the greedy are worried and inadequate'?"

Yu Yan looked at the book that the scholar put on the chair again, and said, "You have a good ability to learn and sell now?"

The scholar's face turned red, and then he smiled: "It seems that Your Excellency is also a scholar, and if I break Your Excellency's hands and feet at that moment, Your Excellency should not be angry." So, he actually took the lead. I saw that his ten fingers were bent, like two claws, and they came straight to Yu Yan's shoulder joint.

It turned out to be the "break" in the grappling technique, looking at this person's dress and martial arts path, Yu Yan guessed the identity of this scholar, that is, Mr. You Jiang remembered the "evil scholar" in the book.

There are four types of grappling skills, namely "grappling", "level", "breaking", and "absolute", and although all types of grappling skills are different in terms of moves and techniques, they do not deviate from these four types. "Grab" and "Title" are common techniques of grappling techniques, which are widely used and disseminated. And "broken" and "absolute" are the types of grappling skills that are not on the table. Because these two grappling skills are not only to control the opponent's movements, but also to destroy the opponent's body, it is easy to attract notoriety in the rivers and lakes.

And what this "evil scholar" is best at is the category of "breaking" in grappling skills. It is said that those who have fought with him and lost will have their joints broken by the evil scholars. Watching the opponent's white bones pierce through the skin and be exposed, lying on the ground screaming or even unconscious, is the greatest pleasure of the evil scholar.

How could Yu Yan let him grab his shoulder. I saw Yu Yan's figure flash, and his hands grabbed one of the evil scholar's arms at once. The evil scholar sneered, he was good at grabbing, how could he not prevent himself from being caught. He had already trained the joints of his body to the realm of twisting since he was a child, and he actually grabbed Yu Yan from an incredible direction.

Although the evil scholar's counter-grappling skills are superb, his arm is always in Yu Yan's hand. The joints of the evil scholar are completely different from ordinary people, and it is indeed difficult for Yu Yan to twist him. But Yu Yan didn't want to use grappling skills against him. I saw Yu Yan's palms squeezed hard, and the evil scholar screamed miserably, and then looked at his arms, not to mention his clothes, even the flesh was rubbed away by Yu Yan, revealing one of the white bones.

The evil scholar had screwed out other people's bones countless times before, but this was the first time that someone else had made his own bones out, and he suddenly panicked. At this time, Yu Yan had already seen the appearance of the evil scholar's joints, and he grabbed the injured arm of the evil scholar with his hand, clasped his wrist, and spun it violently and rapidly. The evil scholar let out a miserable howl, and one of his arms was twisted off by Yu Yanqi's brush, starting from the place where the white bones were exposed.

Yu Yan kicked the evil scholar aside, ignored him, and went straight to the fourth floor-

Although the layout of the fourth floor of the Himikaku is the same as that of the downstairs, there is no one sitting on the stairs leading to the fifth floor.

Yu Yan was about to go directly to the fifth floor, but a voice came from behind him: "Shaoxia stays, I have something to say." ”

As soon as Yu Yan turned around, he saw an old man coming over. The old man was hunched over, looking weak, his face was wrinkled, and when he laughed, the wrinkles were even more crowded together, covering his facial features.

Yu Yan said: "It's still the old rule, I can only go upstairs if I knock you down?"

The old man waved his hand again and again, and said, "Shaoxia misunderstood, I didn't want to compete with Shaoxia." ”

Yu Yan said: "Then why did you stop me?"

The old man said: "Actually, the beauty on the fourth floor is much better than the beauty on the third floor, I want to ask the young man to rest here for a while." ”

Yu Yan said: "You always say that the women on your floor are better than those downstairs, so I naturally have to go to the next level and choose better women." ”

The old man said: "Since the young man thinks so, then I will test you." ”

Yu Yan said: "After talking for a long time, I still have to fight." ”

The old man said: "No, we are a literary exam, I will come up with three exam questions, and if the young man answers correctly, he can go upstairs." ”

Yu Yan said: "What if I can't answer? If you dare to stop me, won't we fight again?"

The old man said: "No, if you can't fight, you can go upstairs." ”

Yu Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, then I will go upstairs directly." ”

The old man said: "Young and slow. Although Shaoxia came to the fourth floor, the first floor was a casino, and the Ping Mei Pavilion started from the second floor. I think Shaoxia also knows that there are five floors in the Hiring Pavilion, and just now the Young Hero passed the two floors of the Four Dragons of Wanghai and the Evil Scholar, and now he is actually on the third floor of the Hiring Pavilion. The old man paused and said, "I think the young man must go to the top floor, and when he thinks of the top floor, he needs a clearance certificate from my floor and the upstairs floor." Without this proof, the fifth floor of the Ping Mei Pavilion would not be open to the young man. So I suggest that it is better for Shaoxia to take the certificate from me. ”

Yu Yan said: "If you want this proof, you have to answer your exam questions?"

The old man nodded and said, "There are only three questions, which are not difficult." As soon as he clapped his hands, a man came out pushing a small cart. The top of the car was a wooden plank, covered with a piece of silk.

Yu Yan couldn't help but take a step back. He had seen a similar scene in the Sword Forge Pavilion. The old man didn't notice it, he stepped forward, took off the silk, and said to Yu Yan, "Can the young man recognize what is written on it?"

Yu Yan looked at it, was stunned, and said: "I recognize, it's Cao Zijian's "Luo Shen Fu". ”

The old man was very happy, nodded again and again, "Not bad, not bad", and said to Yu Yan: "Can the young man recite the above content again?"

Yu Yan said: "...... Its shape is also, like a frightening flood, graceful like a dragon. Rong Yao autumn chrysanthemum, Huamao spring pine. The hair is like the light clouds covering the moon, and the fluttering is like the snow of the flowing wind......"

The old man was very satisfied and said, "The young man has passed the first exam." ”

Immediately afterwards, two more people came to Yu Yan with a table, and there was a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table.

The old man said: "The second and third exams require the young man to write. He explained: "The content of the second level of the exam is that I say a sentence, and the young man writes this sentence. ”

Yu Yan didn't understand what medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he reached out and picked up the pen and dipped it in ink.

The old man read: "Those who are in the meridians, so those who practice blood and qi and camp yin and yang, wet muscles and bones, and benefit joints." ”

Yu Yan heard that this was the content of the "Emperor's Inner Canon", so he took a pen and wrote it down on paper.

The old man immediately read two more sentences, and Yu Yan also wrote them down one by one. The old man walked over, picked up the paper on which Yu Yan was writing, read it twice, and said, "Good words, good words." ”

At this moment, another person came over and took a starting stance. The old man said to Yu Yan: "The following is the third level, please use a pen to draw this person's movements." ”

Yu Yan had never learned to draw, so he didn't move his pen. The old man said: "Although the young man paints, he can paint whatever he wants." ”

Although Yu Yan has never learned to draw, this is not difficult for him. You must know that what the old man asked him to draw was not a landscape, insects and birds, but the movements of a person who practiced martial arts. Yu Yan has seen countless martial arts cheats, and the pictures on them are all about this material, so this is not difficult for him.

Yu Yan lifted the pen, and with a few strokes, he finished outlining this action. The old man picked it up again and looked at it carefully, he was very satisfied, and laughed repeatedly: "The young man is outstanding in learning and has successfully passed the three exams." ”

Yu Yan is puzzled, you must know that these three test questions are not difficult, one is to test Yu Yan's literacy, the second is to test Yu Yan's ability to write, and the third is to test Yu Yan's ability to draw stick figures. You must know that there are some people in the rivers and lakes who are big and coarse, and it is indeed very difficult for them to read "Luo Shen Fu", copy "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" and draw stick figures. But there are also many rivers and lakes that are both humanistic and martial, and these naturally can't help them. Therefore, Yu Yan doesn't know what the purpose of setting up such a link on this layer is.

However, when he got the old man's customs clearance certificate, he naturally didn't go to explore the mystery first, but hurried to the fifth floor, that is, the fourth floor of the Pingmei Pavilion, which was only one step away from the highest place.

The decoration on the fifth floor is more elaborate than the floors below. There is also only one person guarding the staircase leading to the top floor. However, this staircase was hidden behind the wall, and Yu Yan remembered the words of the old man downstairs, who said that he could only go up to the highest building if he had obtained a clearance certificate for these two floors.

The man saw Yu Yan come up, so he asked, "Do you want to be on this floor or go to the top?"

Yu Yan saw that this person was tall and full of spirit, and at first glance, he was far superior to the Four Dragons of Wanghai, the Evil Scholar and others. It turned out that this person was the gatekeeper of the top passage of the town and the Mei Pavilion, and Yu Yan also cheered up.

Yu Yan said: "It's all at this level, so I naturally want to go up and take a look." ”

The man looked Yu Yan up and down, and said, "Can the old man downstairs give you a customs clearance certificate?"

Yu Yan took out a box that the old man gave him, and inside the box was a copper handle. Yu Yan handed the box to the man. The man took it and looked at it, then took out a similar copper handle from his bosom, put the two copper handles together, and walked to the front of the wall. He inserted two brass handles into the holes, and with a slight turn, the wall opened, revealing the staircase behind it.

The man flashed to the side and said, "Congratulations, you can go to the fifth floor." ”

Yu Yan said: "No competition, no exam?"

The man said, "You've passed the exam." I'm looking at physiognomy here, and your physiognomy is definitely passable. ”

Yu Yan thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the beauties on the fifth floor are really not ordinary." When I came to hire Meige, I wanted to go up to the floor by my background. If you want to go up to the second and third floors, you have to work hard. And if you want to go up to the highest fifth floor, you must not only rely on kung fu, but also read and hyphenation, and you must also look beautiful. To be able to pass these trials, it seems that the beauties on the fifth floor are quite demanding. ”

The man said: "That's true, although there are only four beauties upstairs, but each of them is rare in the world, and what is even more rare is that they are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and their minds are agile and exquisite, so only the best people can withstand them." ”

Yu Yan smiled: "Hearing you say this, I can't help but want to meet them for a while." So, he followed the stairs to the top floor of the Hiring Pavilion. (To be continued.) )
