Lu Zhan secretly wrote down the information about Lu Xuan and the third young master in his mind, and then asked: "Xiao Yan, last time you said that this year's 'Martial Arts Examination' will combine the direct line assessment and the external line assessment together. Why?"
How could this happen? I always remember that in the past, the internal and external departments were assessed separately."
Xiao Yan replied: "This time the assessment rules have been changed. It is not the elimination system of two pairs as before, but a big melee. Only two members of the Lu family participated in the assessment, my young lady and Lu Xuan. There are only a small number of people."
A little bit, so we let them participate in the assessment of the external department. However, their assessment rules are still a little different from yours. Jinyan Hall requires that they must grab five apricot-yellow flags before they are eligible to enter Jinyan Hall."
"Five apricot-yellow flags?" Lu Zhanqi asked: "What does this mean?"
Xiao Yan pursed her lips and said: "You are so focused on participating in the assessment that you didn't even understand the rules of this assessment in advance. The nickname of this assessment is - 'Flag Capture Contest', and each person is given an apricot-yellow flag.
After the game starts, you not only have to keep your own apricot-yellow flag from others, but you also have to try your best to grab other people's apricot-yellow flag. After the game, the scores are calculated based on the number of apricot-yellow flags in each person's hands, and the top ten with the best scores enter the nursing home.
If you have particularly good grades, you can also receive elixirs from the Jinyan Hall and have the opportunity to enter the Jinyan Hall to learn high-level martial arts. My young lady and Lu Xuan are both very powerful people in the inner palace. It is absolutely impossible to seize the Five Flags.
The question is, you, first protect the flag in your hand from being snatched away, and you already have a 30% chance of entering the nursing home."
Lu Zhan said "Oh" and thought that this assessment method was quite interesting, a bit like the battle for hegemony mentioned in those legendary novels.
At this time, the gathering horn at the foot of the mountain sounded, so Lu Zhan bid farewell to Xiao Yan and walked to the gathering point.
I saw seventy or eighty people gathered here, all of them with shining eyes, strong and strong.
Most of them are in their twenties and thirties, and there are also a few in their forties, and there are even several women among them.
Lufu's Huyuantang and Yanfu's Jingwutang are two martial arts groups with the same reputation in the local area. In order to ensure the team's combat effectiveness, the competition for recruiting members will naturally be a bit harsh, but the gender, age and identity background are not too much.
limits.
Several big men in the uniforms of the nursing hall handed out a yellow pennant to each of the participants in the martial arts assessment. There was also a number on the flag. Lu Zhan got the flag number 58. In addition, each of them also had a number.
I was sent a map with the terrain of Zixia Mountain drawn on it, and each map also marked the location of the "flag" that corresponded to my own.
In the team, Lu Zhan saw Yan Dahai, whom he had met once before when he participated in the audition. The fat man's apricot-yellow flag number was "twenty-three."
At this time, four people walked to the front of the team and stood facing them.
Three of the four people were wearing the uniforms of the Nursing Hall, and an old man was wearing a purple robe with a golden swallow embroidered on his chest, which was the symbol of the "Golden Swallow Hall".
The old man from Jin Yan Hall walked to the front of the candidates, cleared his throat in a low voice, and said "Uh huh".
The old man's cough was not loud, but Lu Zhan felt his eardrums vibrating "buzzingly" and his heart rate jumped several times. He secretly cheered in his heart: "This old guy has such amazing martial arts attainments!"
The old man calmly showed off his martial arts skills that shook the mountain, and the noisy examination room suddenly became silent.
"Everyone, welcome to Lu Mansion's 'Martial Arts Examination'. Today's assessment rules are different from previous years. The apricot-yellow flag in your hands will be used as the test score.
There is a number on the apricot and yellow flags in your hands, which is your exam number. There is also a topographic map in your hand with your exam number marked on it. That place is your respective exam center. I will give you the most in a moment.
During the time of four sticks of incense, you must rush to your respective test points within the specified time, and wait there for the sound of the cannon to start the test.
When the first cannon sounds, you can take action. The rules are to grab other people's apricot flags and protect your own apricot flags from being snatched away. During this period, you can use various means. This assessment tests swords, guns, weapons, crossbows and hidden weapons.
Even poison and poisonous water can be used. However, there is one rule. If one party voluntarily surrenders and hands over its own apricot-yellow flag, the other party is not allowed to pursue or kill anyone, let alone hurt anyone's life.
We have personnel from the Nursing Hall and the Jinyan Hall scattered around to monitor the examination room. Once you violate this rule, you will be kicked out of the examination room immediately. In serious cases, you will be taken back to the Jinyan Hall and you will be severely punished according to the laws of our Lu family.
When the second horn sounds, it means that there are still three sticks of incense left before the end of the assessment. Those with apricot-yellow flags in their hands must hurry up and rush to the Qibao Pavilion on the top of the mountain.
After three incense sticks, the assessment is over. Anyone who fails to arrive at the Qibao Pavilion will be counted as eliminated. Those who arrive but do not have the apricot-yellow flag in their hand will also be counted as eliminated.
Those who successfully pass the assessment will be ranked according to their results, and the top ten will enter the nursing hall. They will enjoy high salaries and various other benefits, and will receive monthly guidance on elixirs and martial arts techniques."
As he said that, the old man looked at everyone and solemnly reiterated: "The world is like numbness, and swords have no eyes. This assessment focuses on real swords and real spears. If you are not careful, your life is in danger. If any of you want to withdraw and save your little one,
Damn it, please get out of the queue now."
After waiting for a while, when no one exited, he nodded, lit a stick of incense, and said to everyone: "Okay, now please rush to your respective starting test points and wait for the cannon to sound."
All the candidates immediately dispersed and climbed up the hillside, each using their own skills to rush to their own test sites.
Lu Zhan glanced at the topographic map in his hand and saw that the location of the "58th" test site was located on the south slope of Zixia Mountain, and hurried towards the south slope.
According to his current physical fitness, it is not a problem to run like the wind.
But he didn't want to expose his strength too much at the moment, so he deliberately slowed down and observed the movement skills of the masters rushing to their respective test centers along the way, from which he could slightly figure out the differences in the martial arts they learned.
Some people ran on the ground with long strides. They looked a little clumsy, but their breath was long and they didn't show any signs of fatigue as they ran all the way.
Some people have graceful movements, leaping on rocks and passing through trees, as light as a swallow.
Lu Zhan couldn't help but think of the fat man named Yan, and wondered how his fat body would perform in this agility test. So he turned around and looked around, but he didn't see the fat man.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a big knife on his shoulder ran to him and said hello: "Hey, little brother, can I discuss something with you?"
Lu Zhan nodded: "Please tell me, what's the matter?"
The middle-aged man said: "I see that the number on your apricot-yellow flag is '58', and mine is '54'."
Lu Zhan was puzzled: "What does this mean?"
"This shows that our test points are very close to each other. The test points with 'five' in the tenth digit are all on the south slope."
Lu Zhan said "Oh" and understood. It seems that this number delimits the test area. Yan Dahai's number is "twenty-three", so he should be on the other side of the mountain at this moment. No wonder he can't be seen.
The middle-aged man added: "I saw your performance in the last audition, little brother. You were really strong. Why don't we join forces now?"
"Join forces?" Lu Zhan frowned.
"Yeah, let's work together to grab the flag." The middle-aged man didn't see his helpless expression and continued: "Let's work together to grab other people's apricot-yellow flags. This way we can win more efficiently and grab more. Assessment Rules
There is no rule in the game that we cannot join forces, so it is not considered cheating. We will share the apricot-yellow flag equally, what do you think?"
Lu Zhan shook his head slightly and said, "Sorry, I'm not interested."
This middle-aged man obviously wanted to have a strong companion as a guarantee. Seeing this, he reluctantly persuaded: "It will definitely be beneficial and harmless for us to join forces. Others will definitely join forces. As the saying goes, two fists are difficult to defeat four hands. You can do it alone.
Even if you can fight, if you encounter two or three good players attacking together, if you don't care about the future, you will still be defeated."
Lu Zhan firmly refused: "Then please find someone who is willing to join forces with you. Don't waste your time on me."
Seeing his refusal, the middle-aged man had no choice but to walk away angrily.
Lu Zhan came to the south slope and found the test point marked on the map. He sat on a stone, turned his head and looked around, carefully observing the surrounding environment.
This is in a mountain col. There is a narrow mountain road winding up next to it. Seven or eight feet away from me, there is a thatched pavilion for tourists to rest on the mountain road.
At this time, there was a strong man dressed as a martial artist standing in the thatched pavilion. The strong man held a steel knife in his hand. While looking at Lu Zhan with eager eyes, he was shaking his arms and stretching his legs in preparation for the fight.
"Bang-bang!"
With the sound of a cannon, the martial arts examination has begun.
The strong man in the thatched pavilion jumped up immediately and flew towards Lu Zhan.
Lu Zhan was still sitting on the stone. Since someone came to his door automatically, he was happy to save some energy.
The strong man ran up to Lu Zhan, brandished a sharp steel knife, opened his voice and shouted: "Hey, obediently hand over the apricot-yellow flag, I will spare your life."
Lu Zhan stood up slowly. He put the apricot-yellow flag on his lower back, waved to the strong man and said, "If you have the ability, come and get it yourself."
The strong man performed two beautiful sword moves with a swish, swinging the steel sword and shouted: "I said swords don't have eyes. If we start fighting, you kid will inevitably get a few transparent holes in your body."
If you are wise, surrender yourself."
Lu Zhan finally figured it out. This guy was fierce in appearance and soft in heart, and his emotions were empty airs.
According to his own strength, he could send him to his grandma's house with one punch, but he still planned to play two moves with him, just in time to practice his newly learned "Black Tiger Heart Seizing Fist" and gain some practical experience.
He snorted coldly and said: "Where's all the nonsense? Let's do it."
Seeing that he couldn't frighten the young man in front of him, the strong man had no choice but to let out a strange cry of "Ah" and slashed at him with his knife.
Lu Zhan leaned to one side and dodged the strong man's blade. He moved his right hand down and clasped the back of the steel knife tightly with two fingers. This move was from the Black Tiger Four Style.
The word "buckle" is used.
The strong man gritted his teeth and twisted the handle of the knife hard, but the knife was held motionless between Lu Zhan's two fingers. Even if he exhausted all his strength, he could not pull it back.
Lu Zhan suddenly let go of the steel knife, took two steps back, and made a "come again" gesture to the red-faced strong man.
