Chapter 3: The Awakening of the Martial Soul Seed
Ding Yu, who was heavily in debt, was completely cured after ten dressing changes, and his injuries were the fastest among the sixteen disciples. The old king told him that when the other disciples had recovered from their injuries, they would have to "compete for posts" -- to receive sect jobs. Taking advantage of this free time, Ding Yu went to the hospital every day, first, to listen to the old king's allusions to the rivers and lakes, and secondly, to learn a little bone correction techniques, and it will always be useful to break through the rivers and lakes in the future.
After more than ten days, the rest of the disciples also recovered. The three generations of disciple Zhifang was the first big bald head that Ding Yu saw after crossing over, and he was also the murderer who pinched off the bones of sixteen disciples, leading sixteen new disciples to the martial arts hall. There were already three people waiting in the hall, one of them was a middle-aged strong man in his forties, whose legal name was Hongguang, and who was a disciple of the fire foreman Tuo; the other two were both in their thirties, one was a Han Chinese with the legal name Zhiguang, and the other was a deep-eyed and high-nosed native from the Western Regions, whose legal name was Zhida. Including Shang Zhifang, although these four senior disciples of the Vajra Sect have different races and skin colors, their bodies are extremely similar, they are all broad-shouldered and stout-limbed. Later, Ding Yu learned that this body type is the standard configuration of Vajra Gate, which is largely related to the exercises practiced by Vajra Gate disciples, plus Vajra Gate disciples are brave and ruthless, and they will fracture a large area every once in a while, and after they grow up, their bones will thicken, and they will gradually form a horizontal body shape.
After the new disciples came to the martial arts hall, Hongguang and the others did not explain the rules to them, taught them to obey the law, etc., but just asked them to kowtow to the portrait of the fire foreman Tuo, and then they were ready to start competing for posts. Ding Yu peeked at it, and the fire foreman in the portrait Tuo's eyes were wide open, and the fierce light was shining, and he was alive and well with Lu Zhishen.
This way of accepting apprentices in the King Kong Gate, if it is in the Central Plains martial arts, it is definitely unusual, and maybe it will be labeled as an evil sect and become a public enemy of martial arts. But in the Western Regions, this can be regarded as a strict rule.
In the martial arts of the Western Regions, there is no distinction between decent and evil factions, only strong factions and weak factions, and living factions and dead factions. When the benefits are sufficient, the sect will help to arrest those court suspects with high bounties, but when it comes to fat sheep, the same sect does not mind making a cameo appearance as a horse thief to grab a big vote. Therefore, the Western Regions Sect does not have any rules such as "no indiscriminate killing of innocents, no rape and plunder", and there is only one real door rule: the weak eat the strong. This rule does not need to be written and inked, because all the people in the Western Regions understand it, and those who can't understand it have long since died.
Speaking of the division of duties in the Vajra Gate, Zhi Fang said loudly: "In this function, there are three disciples of the medicine shop, three disciples of the wine shop, five disciples of the vegetable garden, and five disciples of the pasture. Those who wish to go here will come here to receive the office waist card. ”
Regarding the function of this sect, Ding Yu had already learned about it from the old king. Pharmacy and wine shops, vegetable gardens and pastures are all industries of King Kong Gate. Drugstores and sake shops are located inside the castle, while vegetable gardens and pastures are outside the castle. The disciples are assigned to work in various places, among which the disciples of the pharmacy are the most generous, one is that the work is easy, there is no strong physical labor, and the other is a lot of money, don't look at the four positions on the surface The wages are the same, but the rewards of the guests can be carried out by themselves. The martial arts in the Western Regions are swords and swords every day, there is no day when no one is injured, and the martial arts people who come to seek medical advice are the most generous, especially those who are seriously injured, staggering to the door in a bloody manner, applying good gold sore medicine, bandaging a clean cloth, going out in a refreshing spirit, and in a good mood, often dung money, regardless of the price of medicine, just throw down a big silver ingot, and shout "The rest is rewarded to you", so the disciples of the pharmacy are the first-class fat shortage.
And the disciples of the liquor shop are second, because the disciples of the liquor shop are almost running the hall, walking around a lot, and they are more tired than the disciples of the pharmacy; and the reward is also less, although occasionally they will encounter high-rollers, but in general, the drunk people do not have the generosity of buying their lives, but there are also a few dollars of silver in the pocket every day. As for the vegetable garden and pasture, there is no oil and water, and the labor intensity is large, and there is not much difference between the two, and they are both errands that no one wants to go.
Although Ding Yu learned about these news from the old king's mouth one step earlier, the other disciples were not fools, they were all people who had been promoted from the sect's miscellaneous servants, and the advantages and disadvantages of the positions were naturally known at a glance, so everyone was aiming at the positions in those six cities.
The method of assigning duties in the Vajra Gate is very simple, the sixteen office waist cards are in the arms of Zhifang, which one do you want, respectfully stepped forward and said: "Uncle Zhifang, the disciple is willing to go to the medicine shop/wine shop/vegetable garden/pasture." "He will give you the corresponding waist card, and if the waist card of that service has been distributed, he will tell you which new disciples have taken this waist card, and if you want it, go to them and ask for it, otherwise you will change the position. As for what if you go to manage other people's wants, and they don't want to give it to you? Then do things according to the rules of the Western Regions, whose fist is whom!
In the blink of an eye, the six fat waist cards had been taken away, and the remaining ten disciples, including Ding Yu, were not in a hurry to receive the remaining waist cards, but stared at the six disciples and kept looking. The Zhifang and the others next to him did not urge, they would wait for the time of the two pillars of incense, and when the time came, the dust would settle, and those who had a waist card in their hands would go to the office, and if they did not have a waist card, they would give you one casually, you can't refuse.
The sixteen new disciples were all promoted from miscellaneous servants, and they usually knew their roots, and everyone knew which was stronger and which was weak. The six disciples who received the fat shortage in front of them could have been regarded as the strongest six, but they were a little stronger than the others, and the one-on-one win accounted for eighty or ninety percent, and the second round of the wheel battle was almost lost, so everyone was unwilling to go up in the first round to consume strength and take advantage of the people behind.
Seeing that after seeing half a pillar of incense for a while, no one made a move, Ding Yu shook his head and stood up. In his previous life, he fought more than 20 black boxing fights and accumulated rich fighting experience, so he was naturally not afraid of these teenage miscellaneous disciples, the reason why he waited for a while was just habit, and he wanted to observe the opponent first and be prepared to fight. I didn't expect these teenagers to be so cautious at a young age, but he didn't have much patience, after all, he was not a strong opponent.
I saw him walk up to a disciple who had received a wine shop waist card, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Ergou, how about giving this wine shop waist card to my brother?"
The disciple in front of Ding Yu is named Gou Shixiong, nicknamed Ergou, but he can't hear this name the most on weekdays, whenever someone screams like this, he must fight with someone before he stops. At this time, when he heard Ding Yu's "two dogs", he immediately became furious, his eyes were round, the green tendons on his forehead were bulging, and he roared angrily: "Ding Hao, you are looking for death!" A lunge punch hit Ding Yu in the chest.
Ding Yu staggered his opponent's fist with a sliding step, staggered his left and right hands up and down, held down Ergou's upper arm with his left palm, and knocked down his head with a back fist with his right hand.
Ergou raised his left hand to block the back punch, but in this way, even his vision was blocked, so he didn't see his opponent's flying right knee.
"Gnea~" Ergou was hit in the stomach by Ding Yu's knee, and the breakfast that had not been fully digested rushed to his throat, he quickly closed his mouth and swallowed hard to avoid making a fool of himself, but his hands and feet did not pause, but he continued to bend down and stride to the side, and hit Ding Yu with one arm.
But Ding Yu had already flashed behind him at this time, and kicked Ergou in the ankle with a sweeping leg, and Ergou involuntarily fell to the ground. Ding Yu was unforgiving, grabbed half a step, stepped on Ergou's neck with one foot, couldn't help but exert his strength, and asked again: "Senior Brother Ergou, how about giving that waist card to Brother Wei?"
Ergou wanted to struggle at first, but Ding Yu's feet became heavier and heavier, and he gradually had difficulty breathing.
Ding Yu took the waist card, and just as he wanted to close his feet, he heard a voice in his head: "Collect a unit of martial artist energy, and the martial soul seed awakens." ”
Ding Yu was stunned for a moment, and forgot to close his feet for a while, until the second dog under his feet kept beating his calf, then he came to his senses, and hurriedly took two steps back, throwing an apologetic look at the second dog.
The other fourteen teenagers looked at Ergou, who was half-lying on the ground gasping, and they were all terrified. The original Ding Hao was quite weak in both martial arts and temperament, otherwise he would not have been hurt to death in the test, so they didn't take Ding Hao in their eyes. Unexpectedly, after the serious injury was healed, Ding Hao's speed and skills were far beyond the past, and that's all, the shot was still so ruthless, which made several people who originally planned to snatch the waist card from Ding Yu's hand look away and aim at the other five.
There was nothing to do with Ding Yu next, and he was intimidated by his "ferocity", and no one dared to compete with him. When the time came, Ding Yu got the waist card steadily, two of the remaining five changed hands, and the remaining ten people had to claim the waist card of the vegetable garden and pasture.
After the assignment of duties, Hongguang asked the sixteen disciples to stand in line, and said to the disciple at the head of the line: "From today on, you are the official disciples of the Vajra Gate. You and other three generations of disciples, for the word 'Chang', your real name is Fang Ju, and from then on the disciple number will be called 'Chang Ju'. ”
Most of the people under King Kong are fighting men who have never studied, so it is convenient to choose a name, Ding Yu (Ding Hao) is naturally called 'Chang Hao', and he has no objection to this. After all the disciples have received the disciple number, the initiation ceremony is over. All the disciples were to go to the ministry office on the same day to "take up their posts."
Ding Yu planned to go to the medical hall to say hello to Lao Wangtou first, and then go to the wine shop. Along the way, he recalled Hongguang's last words.
First of all, he called the fire foreman Tuo 'my teacher', not 'my first teacher', which shows that the fire foreman Tuo should still be alive. The second is the song recipe, Ding Yu remembers that in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", there is a villain of King Kong Gate called 'Gangxiang', who once disguised himself as a Shaolin monk to plot against Zhang Sanfeng, and was slapped to death by Zhang Sanfeng. According to the generation, the word 'Gang' is the seventh word in the song, and Ding Yu belongs to the third generation of the 'Chang' character generation, according to a generation of 20 years, it should be 80 to 100 years away from "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", it should be "Shooting the Condor" or "The Condor".
Just as he was thinking like this, the voice in his head sounded again: "This world is a martial arts plane based on the plot of the Condor Trilogy, and it is in the period of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" at this time. In order to ensure the stability of the plane, the plot has been modified to a certain extent. ”
