Peace has brought tranquility for so long that the people of all countries in the Central Plains have forgotten the last time the countries fought against each other. The only thing they remember now is the catastrophe of that year.

More than a hundred years ago, when the kingdoms of the Central Plains were fighting to the death, the barbarians, led by the most powerful but also the most bloodthirsty and brutal barbarian king, invaded the south and trampled on the Central Plains. For a time, the Central Plains were devastated, and the artifacts of the nations were scattered. , the people were in dire straits. The barbarians were taller and stronger than the people in the Central Plains. According to legend, the barbarians had little humanity. When they invaded the Central Plains, they robbed the people of their property, raped the women of the Central Plains, and even even ate the flesh of children to satisfy their hunger when food was scarce. This is still the case to this day. There are still parents in the Central Plains who say "the barbarians are going south" and "the barbarian king is coming" to stop their children from crying at night.

The barbaric people have lost their humanity and committed all kinds of evil, and the Central Plains is in danger.

Times make heroes. When people are angry and resentful, someone finally stands up. Although this person comes from a poor family, he is extremely intelligent. He can rule the world with literature and bring peace to the world with his sword. It is impossible to describe him at all. It is not an exaggeration. When he was young, he understood the ways of heaven and earth in the mountains and rivers, and he was able to learn it by himself without a teacher. He even became as good at martial arts as Qi Shimao, the great emperor of Wuxuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and was revered by the world as the "Two Saints" of the Central Plains. In times of crisis, this man united all the people with lofty ideals in the Central Plains to resist, and together they drove the barbarians to the desolate land in the north, and warned the barbarians that they "will never return to the Central Plains."

Then, under the discussion of the two saints, the New Tang Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty, the two largest countries in the Central Plains, built the Tianmen Pass and worked together to guard this place. For more than a hundred years, although the two countries seemed to be inseparable, they have always guarded this dangerous pass. .Relying on this natural barrier, the barbarians were kept out of the cold and freezing conditions, and the fertile land of the Central Plains also enjoyed tranquility again.

As for this person, after Qi Shimao passed away, he became the undisputed strongest man in the world. Now the Central Plains naturally regards him as the beacon and guardian of this land.

After leading the Central Plains countries to drive the Northern Barbarians out of Tianmen Pass, this man once traveled around the world. Until twenty years ago, he came to the New Tang Dynasty and Chang'an, and founded a humble family at the foot of Qianniu Mountain. Qianniu Mountain is a large mountain dozens of miles east of Chang'an City. The mountain faces the Weishui River in the south and is surrounded by clusters of hills. However, it itself towers into the clouds, making it stand out from the crowd. Standing on the top of the mountain, at a glance, it looks like there are thousands of cattle. Herds of cattle usually surround this mountain, hence the name Qianniu Mountain. Qianniu Mountain has steep peaks, surrounded by jade forests, and the atmosphere of heaven and earth is extremely strong. It is indeed a good place for spiritual practice.

The person who founded the Han Clan naturally became the leader of the Han Clan, and people all over the world respectfully called him the "Clan Master." At the same time, because this person jokingly called himself "Mr. Han Clan" between the lines, some people also called him "Mr." since Han Clan. After the founding, that person stopped caring about worldly affairs and settled at the foot of Qianniu Mountain. He lived in a humble house at the foot of the mountain. He took heaven and earth as his teacher and the mountains and rivers as his neighbors. He felt the aura of heaven and earth, cultivated a pure and pure body, and read all the books in the world. Carefree.

In the first few decades after the humble sect was founded, the sect master did not recruit any disciples. It was not until eleven years ago, in the 18th year of Yongchang, that the sect master suddenly announced that he was ready to open the door to accept disciples. The news spread quickly throughout the world. In every corner of the Central Plains, people rushed to tell each other, and for a while everyone was saying - Hanmen is ready to open its doors to accept disciples! After that, countless practitioners and admirers from all over the world came to Chang'an from all over the Central Plains, hoping to be accepted by the disciples. Sir, take it under your door——

Dare I ask who in the Central Plains Continent doesn’t want to be the descendant of the most powerful man in the world?

There is even a small country in the Central Plains that sends its prince and princess to the foot of Qianniu Mountain, hoping that the blessings of their ancestors will allow their descendants to enter this gate.

At this point, the Hanmen became the Hanmen under the Qianniu Mountain. It was the Hanmen of the New Tang Dynasty and the people of the world.

The form of examinations for poor families is slightly different from the imperial examination systems of other countries. The content includes civil examinations or military examinations. The world calls the two together the "cold examination".

The first time this poor family opened its doors to accept apprentices, it greatly exceeded the expectations of the people in the Central Plains. For the first time of the civil examination, only a blank piece of paper was given to the candidates, and the time for the examination was not even announced. Regulations. In the end, all you need to do is put the white paper in the humble room at the foot of Qianniu Mountain. Everyone who came to take the exam was a little confused when it came to this piece of paper. Some people wrote lyrics on it, some wrote poems on it, and more. Some people even drew on it, and some illiterate people just scribbled on the paper. Until the seventh day after the papers were handed out, a middle-aged man in simple clothes - who was also the last person to submit papers in this literary examination. Man---he put his answer sheet in the shabby room, and the literary test was finally over.

The gentleman browsed through the pile of answer sheets one by one. Even at a glance, it took him half a month to review. After reviewing the answer sheet of the middle-aged man who submitted the paper last, the gentleman actually scanned these few answers. Tired of the day, I read it again as if I had found a treasure. Then, my husband circled the inscription in the lower right corner that read 'Tang Dynasty Wenjunchen'. In the end, my husband laughed loudly, as if he had experienced such a joyful thing. That way.

After a long wait of half a month, the much-anticipated martial arts competition began. But to everyone's surprise, the title of this martial arts competition was even more puzzling - there was only one bow in the martial arts competition area. , a notice was posted next to it: Anyone who can draw this bow will be deemed to have passed the martial arts test.

Bow means Qiong, Zhang Zhiqiong is soaring... Could it be that he wants to test the archery skills of everyone in the school?

After seeing this bow, everyone thought the same thing, but what made everyone confused was...where is this arrow?

Could it be that everyone is allowed to use their inner strength to turn into arrow feathers and shoot down the birds above the nine heavens?

Or is there an off button on this bow?

Or maybe it requires natural divine power to pull it apart...

There were divergent opinions for a while, until one candidate with an upright temperament said: Is this bow just an ordinary bow?

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in silence at first, and then burst into laughter - if it was really an ordinary bow, then any adult man could pull it open, so what's the point of this martial arts feat? Therefore, everyone shook their heads and waved their hands, indicating that it was impossible.

But they laughed again. After waiting for a long time, everyone still couldn't understand the deeper meaning. They had to look at me and I looked at you. For most of the morning, no one came forward. Until the end, a self-proclaimed extraordinary man came forward. The strong man from the State of Wei volunteered to step forward. He grabbed his arm with his left hand and pulled the string with his right hand. After taking a deep breath, he concentrated all his strength on his arms, and then raised his arms and pulled them - just when everyone held their breath and waited for something to happen. , this ordinary bow... was drawn like this!

Everyone widened their eyes and expected something to happen, but there was nothing strange about the bow. Then, the strong man from Wei State collected the Breath of Heaven and Earth in his Dantian, and looked at the bow with suspicion for a while. After repeated, After carefully inspecting the bow several times, he finally determined that it was indeed an ordinary bow. At that moment, the strong man from Wei State laughed at Han Shi with a look of disbelief, and finally threw the bow on the ground and left angrily. . Immediately afterwards, with everyone full of questions, everyone stepped forward one after another, pulled the bow open and then put it down, put it down and pulled it open again...

The martial arts test that was originally thought to be a sensation in the Central Plains actually ended in less than a day.

The next day, the results of the first cold examination were made public - the scholar named Wen Junchen was accepted as a disciple by the sect master.

The first person to pass the cold examination turned out to be a person who knew nothing about spiritual practice! This result surprised everyone. When everyone gathered together to ask each other, they found that no one knew what this person's background was.

, no one even knew this person! Before the cold trial began, everyone thought that the sect master would choose someone with both civil and military skills or a well-known talent as his disciple. However, after careful inquiry, they learned that this Wen Junchen was from the south of Chang'an City.

The son of a villager in a small village not only came from a poor background, but was also nearly 40 years old.

Faced with such a result, everyone was not only puzzled, but also some people felt aggrieved - they had come all the way to get this result? However, even if these people felt aggrieved, they did not dare to rush to the shabby room to ask for an explanation.

, not to mention that the kings of the Central Plains countries did not dare to question the decision of the sect leader. Even if you had the courage to step forward to question, I am afraid that the spit of the admirers and admirers of the sect leader will drown you. Therefore, everyone has no choice but to question it.

This puzzlement was swallowed hard into my stomach.

In this way, Wen Junchen became the first person in history to pass the "cold examination" under the spotlight.

From then on, there is no fixed time for the Hanmen to open its doors to accept apprentices, but it will definitely advertise to the world one year before it opens, so that interested people can come and take the exam. In the next eleven years, the Hanmen will be opened a total of five times, including Wen Junchen.

There are five talented people who passed the cold exam and entered a poor family. Some of the people who admired, were obsessed with, and were infatuated with the poor family actually failed the exam five times in these eleven years. The most pitiful ones are those small and remote countries.

A gentleman, he traveled thousands of miles day and night to take the exam, but in the end he couldn't become his disciple, which made people very sad.

And this year, the twenty-ninth year of Yongchang, Hanmen opened its doors for the sixth time to accept apprentices. And this time there is news that this is the last time Mr. will accept apprentices.

This news spread quickly throughout the Central Plains, and everyone wanted to seize this last opportunity to join the Han family. Therefore, the entire Central Plains was gearing up and preparing for a last-ditch battle. Those "old Han friends" who failed the five Han tests
Chapter completed!
