Chapter 23 The Legend of the Great Sage Catalogue(1/2)
In front of the Lingxi Wufu Gate is a huge central square. When the four Zuchuan people arrived, the square was already crowded, but it was silent.
Only when I saw the martial arts disciples standing not far away did I understand why these restless young men were so honest.
We can't blame them for being cowardly. There was a precedent two years ago. A young man from the Liu family spoke loudly here and was beaten into a pig's head by his brother who had joined the martial arts two years earlier.
His brother's exact words at that time were, "My beating is not serious, but if someone else does it, this brother will never even think about participating in the trial."
Zu Chuan didn't feel that he was in trouble, so he got off the carriage far away. Under the leadership of Brother Six, he came to the location that he had made an appointment with the other four families in advance.
In the silent square, except for the occasional person who couldn't stand still and moved his hands and feet, there was no sound anymore.
This atmosphere gradually formed a pressure, which came from the pressure above their heads, making them breathe a little faster. Some young people who were timid and had poor psychological quality now had their legs so weak that they could no longer stand.
Time passed little by little, and more and more young people began to shake.
"Plop."
Finally, someone couldn't hold on and slumped on the ground, as if it was contagious. There was the first one, then the second, the third... more and more teenagers slumped on the ground.
"when!"
A bell like thunder rang in their ears, and everyone was freed from that pressure.
The crowd became restless, and from time to time someone cursed, and the square began to become agitated.
"quiet!"
A loud shout broke the momentum that these young men had finally gathered together.
"Those who failed to hold on just now will be eliminated. The rest are standing there waiting for the martial arts disciples. Anyone who leaves the place will be eliminated."
You can't see who is speaking from a distance, but the voice seems to be right next to your ears. The depth of his skill is simply unfathomable.
Xiaoqi was the timidest one. She had been holding his hand nervously just now and wouldn't let go. Now her hands were covered in sweat.
Zu Chuan handed her a handkerchief and watched as the martial arts disciples dragged away the young men who had collapsed on the ground one by one.
If I read it correctly, people around Liu Song and Huang Xiaohu were dragged away. It seems that even a big family cannot guarantee that every disciple has extraordinary talents.
After dealing with the teenagers who failed, these martial arts disciples dispersed in all directions and took action.
A 17 or 18-year-old martial arts disciple walked up to Zuchuan and the others. He pointed at Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi said, "You two, come with me now."
After the man finished speaking, he turned around and left. Xiaoqi looked at him pitifully and wanted to cry, but there was nothing she could do.
Not long after the two left, another martial arts disciple came over, pointed at him and Wenxiu, and said, "You two go together with me."
If this martial arts disciple wasn't a dwarf like Yao Wenshan, he would be about the same age as them. Wenxiu looked at the ribbon behind his hat and pulled it naughtily.
This martial arts disciple turned around and wanted to express his angry expression with dissatisfaction, maybe because he was a little too young. Not to mention majestic, he only had a cute expression, which almost looked cute to them, because this
She is a female disciple.
Wenxiu stuck out his tongue at her and made a face. The little girl had no choice but to lower her head and continue walking forward with the two of them.
"Junior sister Linlin, where are you going?"
It turned out that this little girl just kept her head down and walked forward without even looking at the road, and almost bumped into the carriage.
"Oh! I'm sorry, senior brother, I took these two trial students to the Wenling Mountains."
The disciple guarding the carriage said speechlessly, "Junior sister, get in the carriage and leave. By the way, can you drive?"
"I can not do it."
Zu Chuan felt that he was really unlucky. He was just a student who came to participate in the martial arts trial. Why did he become a horseman? The answer lies in this carriage.
"Linlin, did you really get into the Wufu by relying on your own ability?" Anyone can hear the distrust in Wenxiu's mouth.
"Xiuxiu." Sun Lin explained helplessly, "It was because of my birthday that I entered the Wu Mansion when I was twelve years old."
"Then how come you can come out and lead new students this year?"
"It's arranged by the teacher, but there's nothing I can do about it."
"Oh! Linlin, is it fun in Wu Mansion? By the way, do you know Zu Yunji and Zu Yunlan from Zujia'ao? Those are my nephews and nieces."
Wenxiu's chirping was in sharp contrast to Sun Lin's quietness. However, she still learned the content of this trial from Sun Lin in advance.
The Wu Mansion and the Governor's Army separated the entire Wenling Mountain Range into separate areas, and also ensured that there were three beasts of extraordinary strength in each area.
The three beasts in the area have different strengths. They can only be judged based on experience. They are all within the students' ability to deal with them.
The purpose of this is to test the strength of each student while ensuring the safety of the teenagers participating in the trial.
According to Sun Lin, the Wufu will send a distress signal to each team at that time.
Each two-person team can only move within its own area. If it goes out of the area or triggers a distress signal, it will be deemed unqualified.
Zuchuan agrees with such a rule. Two people who are familiar with each other form a team. With tacit cooperation, they can bring out their true strengths.
The distance from the central square of the outer city of Lingxi to the Wenling Mountains is nearly six hundred miles. The carriage they rode was pulled by a unicorn horse provided by the Wufu.
This kind of unicorn is a branch of the wildebeest. It has endurance and speed. Even so, it will take more than half a day to reach the Wenling Mountains.
Zu Chuan has not eaten anything since he got up in the morning. He is already hungry and dazzled. I believe Wenxiu is also hungry.
"Xiuxiu, and this girl, we are really hungry. Let's stop and have something to eat."
"Okay, I've been hungry for a long time. Linlin, I have the pastries prepared by Aunt Jin for us, and the meat roasted by grandma. They are both delicious. You must try them all."
Maybe Wu Fu had considered teaming up with two people, so the carriage was not big. Wenxiu took Sun Lin and jumped out. He simply spread a piece of white cloth on the ground, and then filled it with steaming food.
Sun Lin participated in the enrollment trial for the first time as a martial arts disciple. She didn't eat in the morning because she was too excited. Now that she saw the delicious food, her stomach growled several times in dismay.
"The Wu government has regulations that you are not allowed to stop on the road. If you disobey the order... Wuwu."
Wenxiu took out a chicken leg and stuffed it into Sun Lin's mouth and said, "Eat it quickly, Xiaochuan will be snatched away in a while."
Sun Lin reluctantly ate a chicken leg and took a wild fruit picked by a rabbit. She thought to herself that she had done her duty anyway, but who made this thing so delicious?
After eating something simple, they quickly continued on their way.
With the friendship of having dinner together, Sun Lin is no longer so cold and would say a few words to them from time to time.
"Linlin, can you tell us about the Wu Mansion?" Now there is only one official road going east, and the Typhonium Horse no longer needs to be commanded. Zuchuan took the opportunity to inquire about the situation in the Wu Mansion.
"Wu Mansion." Sun Lin said, "There is a lot of competition inside. If you want treasures and practice, you have to fight for them yourself. Different ages and different strengths are divided into different classes.
Except for the strongest students, everyone else has to get up at five o'clock every day. Then follow their respective martial arts instructors to practice the exercises. The morning is the time for actual combat. People in the same class compete in pairs, and the winner is
You can rest, and the loser will be punished in various ways.
The afternoon is free time, in fact, it is free time, but every student needs to work every day to eat. If the speed is slow, the work will not be completed even after dark."
Finally, Sun Lin said, "Actually, Wufu is not as good as I imagined."
After hearing this, Wenxiu screwed up her face and said, "It turned out that I was so tired after entering the Wu Mansion. Xiaochuan, let's go home."
Ignoring Wenxiu's complaints, Zu Chuan asked again, "Do you know what powerful bone-strengthening techniques there are in Wu Mansion?"
"There are many bone-strengthening exercises, and there are many powerful ones." Sun Lin asked, "How powerful do you mean?" "Three hundred kilograms of bone-strengthening kung fu is not unusual at all, but it still costs five hundred kilograms for the body."
Bundle,"
"Five hundred kilograms of physical strength? Who can have such strong strength and not build strong bones? I have never heard of this kind of technique, but Wufu has an extreme technique of three hundred and fifty kilograms."
Wenxiu asked curiously, "Linlin, what is the extreme state?"
"Ordinary people can only achieve the maximum strength of three hundred kilograms of the physical body through innate blood. This strength refers to the strength of muscles. If it is more, the bones and meridians will be injured.
But occasionally there will be some extremely talented people who are born with strong bones and can cultivate their physical strength to more than 300 kilograms. This situation is called the ultimate breakthrough.
Once the physical strength exceeds 300 kilograms, every additional kilogram will place a heavy burden on the bones. Therefore, it is already unrealistic to reach 350 kilograms, let alone a physical body of 500 kilograms."
Zuchuan still asked unwillingly, "What if someone really reaches 500 pounds? Will he not be able to strengthen his bones in his life?"
"That's not necessarily the case."
Sun Lin's words gave him a glimmer of hope. He quickly asked, "How to say?"
"Hey, let's forget it. Anyway, if you say it, it means you haven't said it yet."
Wenxiu said, "Linlin, why are you like this? It's not a good habit to speak half of your words."
If Wenxiu hadn't spoken, Zu Chuan almost wanted to hold Sun Lin down and force him to question her.
Sun Lin explained, "The main reason is that there is no basis for this matter at all. I only heard about it accidentally. I really don't know whether it is true or not. No, it should be said that it is definitely false. Do you also want to hear this?"
Zu Chuan gritted his teeth and said, "Listen, no matter how fake it is, I must listen."
"Okay! Legend has it that there is a technique called the Great Sage Illustration. According to legend, the standard for practicing this martial arts technique is that the physical strength exceeds 500 kilograms. The stronger the physical strength, the easier it is to practice."
"Then where is this skill now?"
"I already told you that this is a legend."
The carriage is still moving forward, the sun has already risen in the sky, and the warm sunshine is shining on the earth, making people involuntarily want to embrace spring.
"Xiuxiu, why doesn't he speak?"
Wenxiu asked seriously, "Linlin, are we already good friends?"
Under her eager gaze, Sun Lin nodded.
