Chapter 32: School Storm

"No, brother, is that the woman in the wooden house? Why don't we work hard for a long time and get nothing in the end." Shangguan Yuan has said this many times since he came back from Yanshan.

Shangguan Lu ignored Shangguan Yuan's thoughts. Only when he was alone, he would always take out the handkerchief in his arms, revealing an intoxicating sense of happiness.

After returning to his residence, Shangguan Lu took advantage of his recuperation time to continue to perfect the wind style he had learned, and planned to teach this style to Shangguan Yuan and Wei Peng.

"Yuanzi, Pengzi, wind force, actually takes the word "profit". This force exists because of the wind, and it is beneficial because of the wind. The force moves with the wind and the technique moves with the wind."

"Wind is everywhere, but it doesn't exist all the time. Making something out of nothing is the key to its power."

······

"Yuanzi, you became a warrior because you understood the wind style. This wind style may be more suitable for you."

Shangguan Lu explained and gave detailed demonstrations to the two of them.

When it comes to practice, Shangguan Yuan is unprecedentedly stable, and he doesn't care about gossiping about his brother's lover. Shangguan Yuan is used to it. Wei Peng looks at Shangguan Lu with a strange look. The strength of Kaiyuan Xia Clan warriors in practice, which clan does not regard it as

If the precious broomstick was not passed down from the direct lineage and would never be passed on to others, Shangguan Lu just passed it on to him so easily.

Shangguan Lu's guess is indeed correct. Among the three, the one who is most suitable for practicing Feng Xing is not him who has realized the power of the wind. Instead, it is Shangguan Yuan who has become a warrior through Feng Xing.

After Shangguan Yuan got familiar with it, he displayed the wind power as Shangguan Lu had guessed: erratic and unpredictable, the power was unruly and traceless, and the technique was elegant and agile, impermanent and shadowless.

At this point, Shangguan Lu could only smile bitterly. Although he was regretful, he was also happy for his brother. He told his guesses about the wind, hoping that he could verify them one by one.

"Yuanzi, it seems that this wind style is really suitable for you. However, according to my guess, the wind style should have five levels, namely Wuhen, Baiying, Qianying, Wuying, and Rufeng. After practicing the wind style, it should be the same as

The wind coexists without power or skill. As for what the wind will be like in the end, it depends on you."

Shangguan Yuan pondered for a moment and then asked slowly: "Brother, is the wind favorable to the wind and hidden in the wind, or is it following the wind and following the wind? Is the wind there because of the wind or the wind exists for the power?"

Shangguan Lu was shocked when he heard Shangguan Yuan's inquiry, so even he had never thought about such a problem. After all, it was just an occasional idea that made it possible, and he said loudly: "Yuanzi, I don't know either, it's all up to you.

"

"What, brother, it can't be like this. People say that you can save people and send Buddhas to the West. Why don't you just teach me these things after you understand them clearly? After all, cultivating the acupoints and meridians all over the body is enough for me.

I've got a headache, and now with the strong wind, I really won't have any time to rest." Shangguan Yuan rolled his eyes and talked nonsense with a serious look on his face.

"I'm too lazy to care about you." Faced with his younger brother's rogue attitude, Shangguan Lu was also a little helpless.

"Brother, it's really too slow. If we were top warriors, those Tartars wouldn't be just chickens and dogs, so we wouldn't have to fight for our lives. Hey, what's the shortcut? Generate the original energy.

, Cleansing the essence, cutting down the marrow, and cultivating the brain are extremely accomplished, and just thinking about it makes people yearn for it." Shangguan Yuan said with emotion as if it was natural.

Shangguan Lu glared at his younger brother, turned around and returned to the room. Out of sight, out of mind, and clear in heart, Wei Peng came up to Shangguan Yuan and joked to Shangguan Yuan with a smile: "Brother Yuan, there must be a shortcut, it will suddenly increase your inner energy."

There are so many treasures of heaven and earth.”

"Where is that?" Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's something you can meet but not ask for." After Wei Peng said this, he turned around and ran quickly to Shangguan Lu.

"It's rare... Damn it, Wei Peng, you're kidding me." Shangguan Yuan reacted and became angry. He chased after him and started fighting with Wei Peng, who had been secretly guarding him for a long time.

Practice, play, compete, learn.

The life of Shangguan and Lu in their residence is so simple and comfortable, relaxed and fulfilling.

In a blink of an eye, there was another sacrifice.

Due to school schedules, Shangguan Lu and Shangguan Yuan were unable to rush back to Jiangjunzhuang. They had already sent a letter to their families explaining the situation in advance, and gave them two of the four images they had obtained in Yanshan last time. As for Wei Peng, the most

To save trouble, they just asked someone to deliver a message to their mother clan, so the three of them stayed at their residence to practice until Meng Chun.

On that day, Shangguan and Lu went to the competition office of the Department of Etiquette and Ceremony of the Ministry of Etiquette in Beijing to get the documents for their participation in the competition. Without stopping, they rented a private room in advance at Changshun Restaurant near the school grounds in the suburbs of Beijing to facilitate their participation in the competition.

There is no need to travel frequently between schools.

Kaiyuan calendar year 4330, Shenque dynasty year 360.

The Xia Clan Divine Bird Chao Huaying Hall, the Chinese Language Hall, the Ceremony Department of the Ministry of Etiquette, and the Imperial College have jointly established the Competitive School and Clan School. They have gone through the Comparative Schools of various cities, prefectures, and counties to recommend and select all qualified students.

, his sons gathered in Jingyi.

Comparing schools and clan schools is a grand event for all dynasties of the Xia clan. All young talents of the Xia clan who are less than twenty-five years old can show off their talents on this stage.

Comparative School: All Xia tribe members can participate regardless of their origin. They are divided into literary schools and martial arts schools. In the end, based on the total number of "A" obtained by the literary schools and martial arts schools, the three heroes of heaven, earth and man are selected. Once you enter the three heroes

If you rank up, you will be awarded a title, which is the fastest way for a Xia boy to change his status.

Clan School: Only the clansmen of the Lord Clan can participate. It is another way of fighting among the clans of the Xia Clan, and it is also an effective way for each clan to show their strength and compete for political resources.

In view of this, both the junior school and the clan school are valued by the Xia people, and their degree is no less than that of sacrifices.

In this year, Wei Peng was twenty-two years old, and Shangguan Lu and Shangguan Yuan were twenty-one years old.

The literary school at Jiao Xiao School had already ended before the ceremony. At that time, Shangguan Lu Zheng was seriously injured and fell into a coma. How could Wei Peng and Shangguan Yuan have the intention to attend the literary school? Therefore, all three of them were absent from the literary school. Fortunately, Zhang Yan and Zhang Jiancheng were both from Yao County.

When it comes to recommendation documents from the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies, a liberal arts school with a total of three people in the top 10 is calculated based on the results in the top 5.

Suburban Beijing, Changshun Restaurant.

"Yuanzi, how are you doing when I asked you to ask?" Shangguan Lu asked, looking at Shangguan Yuan who had returned from inquiring about the news.

"Brother, no, there are too many people to inquire about. Now, whether in the capital or around the school grounds, they are all people who attend the clan school and the higher school. On the contrary, I met a few classmates from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but

I haven't seen Hangzi or Brother Hu at all." Shangguan Yuan was also very helpless, not because he didn't care, but because he was really helpless.

"In that case, let's forget it."

"By the way, Brother Yuan and Brother Lu, this year's school competition will be attended by people recommended by the nine major counties and frontier army battalions." Wei Peng looked at the two men and reminded them softly.

"People from the military? How can they participate in the competition school?" Shangguan Lu was confused, because in the past years, no military personnel recommended to participate in the competition school. Even if the military personnel participated, they would all participate as wandering souls.

"Brother Yuan, Brother Lu, this move is a joint announcement from the palace and the governor's office. It is said that it was proposed by a powerful prince in the court. He hopes to give people who join the army a chance, so each battalion recommends them.

People can also participate in competitive schools." Wei Peng whispered the information he had found out.

"No wonder when I passed by the school grounds this morning, so many people were cursing around the notice board. I see." Shangguan Yuan said slowly.

"Yes, it goes without saying that the nine counties all refer to those from the military department. They are probably just a bunch of people making up the numbers, but those who have experienced battles from the frontier army are really not something that students from the Chinese Academy of Sciences can compete with." Wei Peng's face was also a little solemn,

Among the three people here, he is the only one who knows more about the border troops, is more familiar with them, and is more worried about them.

"The purpose of the competition school is to give the Xia people a chance to stand out. Whether they are noble clan members, Chinese studies students, or wandering souls, they are all eligible to participate. Now that there are people from the military participating, wouldn't it be better to gather all the heroes? If

It would be too boring if it is really the only Chinese school that dominates." Shangguan Lu Yueyue was eager to try and was full of expectations without any worries.

"In the competition school, anyone under the age of twenty-five can participate. There are too many talented people and strangers, and the rewards of the three heroes are worthy of everyone's madness. There are only twenty-one among thousands of people. It is too difficult."

Wei Peng was still a little worried. After all, not only could the three outstanding men directly enter the Imperial Academy, but the three outstanding people would also be awarded the rank of fourth-rank Ziyin or Qiduwei, and the winner of the six outstanding people would be awarded the rank of fifth-rank Zanyin or Feiqiwei.

Twelve outstanding people were awarded the title of Sixth-grade Xiuyin or Yunqiwei.

"The winning or losing rankings are not important to the three of us. The main thing is to meet the warriors from all over the world. After all, even if we can't do it this time, we will still be able to participate in three years. Three years is enough." Shangguan Lu said about what was about to happen.

The school is quite looking forward to it and has a good attitude.

Changshun Restaurant, front lobby.

"Brother, I don't know if those guys from our clan are coming." Shangguan Yuan was chattering while eating, still thinking about not finding some brothers from the clan.

"Don't hide, Shangguan Lu, Yao County. I have been looking for you for many days." Just when the three of them had finished their dinner and were about to get up and leave, bursts of shouts came from outside the restaurant.

"who?"

Shangguan Lu, Shangguan Yuan, and Wei Peng looked at each other, all unfamiliar with this voice.

"Shangguan boy, it's really you. Why, are you pretending not to know Jiang?" The visitor, Jiang Gui, entered the restaurant and started shouting when he saw Shangguan Lu. Looking at Shangguan Lu, his face was filled with anger.

"Senior Jiang, you're fine. I don't know why you're looking for Xiaoke." Shangguan Lu only felt familiar with the man in front of him, but didn't recognize him. He had really forgotten the bet he made with Jiang Xu on the river boat.

"Boy Lu, don't fucking pretend. Jiang came here as promised. Shouldn't the bet back then be fulfilled? If you don't show up, then Jiang will have to find him." Jiang Xu looked at Shangguan Lu.

He didn't recognize his own appearance and was very angry.

"Brother, when we entered the pagoda, we made a bet with this guy on the boat that he would become a warrior in one year." Shangguan Yuan mentioned the events of that year in Shangguan Lu's ear, but no matter how he looked at it, he was a bit gloating about his misfortune.

"Senior Jiang, I'm very sorry. Due to trivial matters, I can only stay in the capital and cannot return to Yao County. I have exhausted my search for senior. However, senior, this is not a place for conversation. Please move on." After Shangguan Yuan reminded him, Shangguan Lu

He understood immediately, and after knowing the whole story, he bowed down and apologized to Jiang Gui, and invited him to a single-family house in the backyard to talk more.

At this moment, a group of people came down from the second floor of the tavern, and one of them said in a sinister tone: "There are still people who don't know the heights of the world. I guess they just know the moves. They don't even know what a warrior is."

Shangguan Lu looked at the words and couldn't move away after just one glance.

She was an all-too-familiar girl dressed in white, dignified and beautiful, with a smile on her face. Who else could it be if she wasn't the girl Shangguan Lu had been dreaming about day and night?
