The Cui family’s cemetery is not far from the Cui family’s house. Even if it’s a mountain road, it doesn’t take an hour to get there.○
During the years when Cui Li, the young master of the Cui family, went out to study, the servants of the Cui family were still loyal and honest. Every year during the Qingming Festival and winter, they would go to the mountain to clean and pay homage, so the cemetery was relatively tidy.
Under the leadership of Ah Fu and Cui Wang, two servants in their fifties who were relatively healthy in Cui's house, Zhang Tie walked slowly along the mountain path for forty to fifty minutes and finally arrived at the tombs of Mr. and Mrs. Cui.
.
The Cui family's cemetery is well-built. There is a stone fence around the cemetery, and there is a bluestone floor on the ground in front of the tomb. On both sides of the tomb, there are several auspicious beasts that guard the tomb carved.
Zhang Tie stood in front of the tombstone where they were buried together. Looking at the names of the Cui family and his wife on the tombstone, he felt inexplicably complicated emotions in his heart.
Without Zhang Tie having to do anything, Ah Fu and Cui Wang were already busy sweeping the cemetery and laying out incense and candles for Zhang Tie.
You and your sons were killed by Poison Wolf Zhu Liang. The real Cui Li died in the mountains. He was killed by Poison Wolf Zhu Liang and fed to wild beasts. There are no bones left. I killed Poison Wolf Zhu Liang and will bear Cui Li's responsibility from now on.
Walking in the world with his appearance and identity, in the eyes of outsiders, he can be considered your son. He has the identity and position of your son. Today, I will kowtow three times to you two. He can also be regarded as your son and I.
A fate...
Zhang Tie thought this way, and when he saw what Ah Fu and Cui Wang had prepared, he did not hesitate immediately, but knelt directly in front of the tomb and kowtowed three times to the Cui family and his wife sincerely.
After kowtowing, Zhang Tie stood up, patted his clothes, and then melted the yellow and white paper money he brought with him in a stone pot built specifically for melting paper money next to the tomb.
While burning the paper money, Ah Fu and Cui Wang couldn't help but shed tears.
Ah Fu burst into tears. "Master, madam, open your eyes and look. The young master has come back. He is very promising. Our Lao Cui family will be considered a glorious ancestor in the future..."
Cui Wang's eyes also turned red, "Yes, our young master will ride on a big horse from now on. He will ride on a golden boat, become a general and a city lord, and you can rest in peace underground..."
The servants in the Cui family who were recruited by Poisonous Wolf Zhu Liang were all honest and careless. In the eyes of these servants, the Cui family and his wife naturally died of illness one after another, and Master Cui Li was naturally the same young master Cui Li.
, This time the young master of the Cui family is back, the Cui family will be prosperous, and the young master Cui is kind-hearted. As soon as he comes back this time, he will increase everyone’s monthly salary and food, which will be doubled. Everyone will have a good life in the future. Now everyone has a kind of
The feeling of getting through it.
After changing the paper money, Ah Fu used the river rice in the clay pot he brought to extinguish the sparks in the stone pot, and then sprinkled it around the cemetery. Just as they were about to leave the Cui family cemetery, Jia was slightly out of breath.
The pavilion chief arrived with Magistrate Li.
When he first saw Cui Li in Zhang Tie's incarnation, County Magistrate Li's eyes also lit up.
At this moment, Cui Li still has a shiny bald head and a strong body of more than two meters tall. His muscles are bulging all over his body. At first glance, he gives people the feeling of being as strong as steel and as strong as a mountain. In other people's mouth, Cui Li
The young master of the Cui family is actually over 40 years old and almost 50 years old, but he does not look old. At first glance, he looks like he is in his 30s. He is an upright and mature man. The age of the young master of the Cui family, if it is for ordinary people,
For a person, this is the age when time has passed, but for a knight, this age, even if it is 10 years older, is not old, but simply too young, just like the sun at the first o'clock in the morning.
What impressed County Magistrate Li deeply was Cui Li's pair of thick eyebrows like a guillotine. Just one look at him made people feel murderous and chilling. Those thick eyebrows matched his iron mountain-like figure.
, it feels like a fierce look... Oh, no, it is an aura of calmness and power, and under the thick eyebrows, Cui Li's eyes, just as Jia Tingchang said, there seems to be something in the pupils between the opening and closing.
The flashing firelight is even more frightening...
As a county magistrate, his knowledge is certainly much higher than that of Jia Tingchang and his like. Just looking at Cui Li's eyes, County Magistrate Li suddenly remembered that when he had a gathering with his friends one year, everyone talked about the topic of knights.
At that time, a guest brought by his friend once said that some masters who practice advanced secrets will show strange phenomena in their appearance after they advance to knights, and the eyes are the spiritual part of a person.
The door, so many of those skills and visions appear through his eyes, allowing others to see them through his eyes.
Combining the information brought by Chief Jia Ting, County Magistrate Li judged almost instantly that Cui Li was already a knight, and he seemed to be practicing more than ordinary skills.
This Cui Li will definitely have a bright future if he is promoted to knight at this age.
With this in mind, Magistrate Li took the initiative to salute Cui Li before Jia Tingzhang could introduce him, "Tongguang County Magistrate Li Chunfeng has met Mr. Cui!"
Cui Li's identity has not yet been determined. He has no official status and cannot be called "sir." As the parent official of a county, at this time, calling Mr. Zhang Tie Cui is almost flattering, but directly calling Cui Li by his first name seems impolite.
Magistrate Li just called Mr. Zhang Tiecui. This is the difference between civil and military affairs. The magistrate is considered a civil official in Taixia. For a civil official to call a knight "sir", it is considered respectful and does not lose his identity.
"Oh, it turns out to be County Magistrate Li!" Zhang Tie smiled and nodded. His attitude was not arrogant, but not very eager either.
To a knight, a county magistrate is nothing. The two parties are already in two different worlds. Unless they are acquaintances and friends, otherwise, it will be surprising if they are too eager.
Zhang Tie's attitude further strengthened County Magistrate Li's judgment.
After saying hello to Zhang Tie, County Magistrate Li took the initiative to go to the tombs of the Cui family and his wife, paid three respects earnestly, and said, "When a filial son is born in a family, his family is honorable, and when a pillar of the village is born, it is a blessing. Today, I will take the place of
We, the more than 800,000 people in Tongguang County, would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Cui Shi'an, their strict father and loving mother, for cultivating the first knight in Tongguang County, earning the first prestigious archway, educating future generations, and shining a bright light on the countryside!"
Zhang Tie burst into laughter. This County Magistrate Li is really a wonderful person. He can do this in front of him. He is really quite capable when he praises others so well.
"County Magistrate Li and Chief Jia Ting have worked hard up the mountain, so why not have a cup of tea at home and take a break!"
County Magistrate Li laughed and crossed his hands again, "Then I'm sorry!"
Seeing Magistrate Li's attitude toward the young master of the Cui family, Chief Jia Ting, who originally felt that he had an inexplicable elder advantage because he had been watching Cui Li grow up, became more confident.
The group went down the mountain again.
Compared with going up the mountain, going down the mountain is much easier.
Magistrate Li's steps were vigorous and vigorous, not inferior to those of the other four people. He walked and chatted with Zhang Tie without difficulty at all.
"Is County Magistrate Li already at the seventh level?" Zhang Tie asked County Magistrate Li.
"Ashamed, ashamed. I couldn't learn martial arts before. I only reached the sixth level. It was difficult to make progress. I had to learn how to manage the world and enter the official career. It has been slowly grinding down over the years. I insisted on practicing and meditating every day, and managed to ignite more than ten people.
Mingdian, I just advanced to the seventh level last year and I don’t dare to show off in front of Mr. Cui!" County Magistrate Li said modestly.
Zhang Tie had heard in Youzhou that Taixia selected high-quality officials. Starting from the ninth-grade county magistrate, the minimum requirement was to reach the level of a sixth-level warrior. He had never come into contact with these low-level officials in Youzhou.
I was dubious at first, but I didn't expect it to be true.
This can be considered Taixia. In any other place, no country can achieve and adhere to such talent selection standards.
Sixth-level warriors. In the past, in the Hawaiian subcontinent, they were already at the level of first-level junior officers in the army of various countries.
Even though County Magistrate Li looks like a scholar, advancing to the seventh level means that the ordinary dozen or so big men and thieves are no match for him. Even the sixth-level warriors, three or five people can defeat him.
Maybe there is nothing he can do.
Taixia’s formal school education, including academies, all follow the path of integrating civil and military education. This education method of integrating civil and military education has been passed down among the Taixia Chinese people for thousands of years. If we simply look at education,
If we look at the history of the Chinese nation before the Great Catastrophe from a different perspective, we can find a pattern. In any dynasty that adheres to the integration of civil and military education, in those dynasties where scholars carried bows and poets carried swords, the Chinese people emerged in large numbers with outstanding figures.
, extremely powerful, each outstanding person shines like stars in history, and dynasties that abandon the education model of civil and military education will gradually decline. Among them, dynasties that emphasize military force over civilized culture will lead to internal turmoil. Such dynasties, military generals
With great power in the world, endless conquests everywhere, Chinese countries emerged one after another, but they were all very short-lived. In the dynasties where national education has completely moved towards emphasizing culture over military affairs, such dynasties can live longer, but in the end they will not survive.
Exceptionally, it ended when foreign invasions caused huge disasters to the entire Chinese race. Those disasters often brought them close to annihilation.
The future of a country can be known by looking at its current education. Those who value martial arts will be strong and chaotic, while those who value literature will be weak and perish. Only the integration of civil and military forces is the right way.
Taixia's national policy, and the way of education written into the "Taixia Code", are exactly four words - the integration of civil and military affairs.
…
Returning to Cui's house, Jia Ting had an excuse to leave beforehand. In the end, only Magistrate Li and Zhang Tie came to the house and drank the spring tea picked by the Cui family from their own tea garden on the mountain.
"I wonder which sect Mr. Cui has joined in these years to be promoted to a knight?" County Magistrate Li asked Zhang Tie a question while drinking tea.
"It's so difficult to enter a famous sect. You either have to be extremely talented or have a strong background!" Zhang Tie shook his head, "I have no sect. I can only visit famous people in famous mountains and rivers to learn skills. Later, Huang Tian lived up to his expectations.
A hard-working person had an adventure in a famous mountain, encountered a cave where a knight was sitting, and obtained a secret elixir in the cave. After practicing hard for more than ten years, he was promoted to a knight!" Zhang Tie threw out what he had prepared long ago!
The rhetoric, this rhetoric is basically true and can stand the test. If someone really wants to be more serious, Zhang Tie can dispel all doubts by taking him to the cave where he got the "Candle Dragon Sutra".
Magistrate Li was stunned. Such things were not uncommon in Taixia, but they were very legendary. He did not expect that such a thing would happen to Cui Li in Liuying Town under his rule.
"Then what are Mr. Cui's plans for the future?"
"In this holy war, as a knight, you must naturally serve your country and go to the most dangerous places to defeat the demons!" Zhang Tie said impassionedly, "When I come back this time, I will stay at home for a few days and come back to pay my respects.
Let’s take a look at my parents and the folks in Liuying Town, and then I’ll go to the Diyuan Realm to fight the demons…”
"Mr. Cui is so strong and a man should be so. It's a pity that my strength is low. If I can advance to the knight level, I must follow Mr. Cui's example and go to the battlefield to fight against the demons!" County Magistrate Li slammed the table with excitement.
"It just so happens that Magistrate Li is here this time, and I have something to ask of you!"
"Please tell me, as long as I can do it, I'll do it without any hesitation!"
Zhang Tie touched his bald head and said roughly, "After I left, I didn't know what year or month I came back. I had a lot of loyal servants at home to help me guard the house. These loyal servants were getting older, and each of them had no friends.
, if something happens, please ask County Magistrate Li to take care of him, and don’t let him live a miserable life and be bullied by others!"
"Don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me!" Magistrate Li immediately agreed. This kind of thing that can build a relationship with the knight can't be found with a lantern, let alone someone who bumped into him on his own initiative. Magistrate Li
Where can I refuse?
"Thank you very much!"
After returning to Liuying Town and confirming his current identity as Cui Li, Zhang Tie felt reassured...
Magistrate Li only stayed at Cui's house for a while and then left Liuying Town.
After confirming Zhang Tie's status as a knight, County Magistrate Li returned to the county seat by car and sent out an official document that day.
The official document was sent to Zeyun City. Tongguang County is under the jurisdiction of Zeyun City. There is a knight in Liuying Town of Tongguang County. After confirmation, of course, the Master Cheng Mu of Zeyun City must be notified as soon as possible.
For Zeyun City, this is also no small matter.
At this moment, even the Cheng Mu of Zeyun City was alarmed, and the news that Cui Li, the young master of the Cui family in Liuying Town, had become a knight, officially spread under Panlong Mountain.
…
In the next few days, Chief Jia Ting of Liuying Town and the villagers in Yiqian Town felt that the entire Liuying Town had turned into a vegetable market, with prominent figures from hundreds of kilometers around like going to a market.
They all gathered towards Liuying Town and went to the Cui family to pay their respects. I heard that the gifts brought by those who came to visit were so large that the entire Cui family's warehouse could not contain them.
The small town of Liuying has never experienced such scenery in its history.
After a few days of excitement, one night, some residents of Liuying Town saw fire flying from the Cui family into the sky. The next day, those who were still queuing up to wait to visit the young master of the Cui family came to visit again.
While waiting, I already heard the news - the young master of the Cui family had left last night...
