This kind of bloody friendship is even deeper than the friendship we have known each other for decades. Because it has been tested.
"With your words, I feel relieved."
Bai Zongdao was relieved. Bai Yuanyuan was the sect leader's only daughter. Baitou Mountain seemed peaceful on the surface, but it actually affected countless people up and down.
This is a storm, just suppressed below the surface of the lake.
Yang Ji himself might not think it was anything, it was just a promise. But for Bai Zongdao, this promise was too important.
"Yang Ji, I won't disturb your gathering with the master. You have a bright future and your achievements in the future will be limitless. The little junior sister is still too willful. She doesn't understand it now, but when she grows up, she will understand that her world
It’s actually completely different from our world. Completely two different worlds!”
Bai Zongdao said this casually as if with emotion, then he clasped hands with him and left.
"Is this guy beating around the bush and saying that you and that little girl are not suitable?"
When Bai Zongdao left, the great Asura said with strange yin and yang energy.
"You don't need to get involved in this matter."
A trace of gloom flashed across Yang Jidao's eyes. Bai Zongdao was considered to be a more open-minded and good person among the people he came into contact with. However, the prejudices of big forces were still everywhere.
Yang Ji had not encountered this kind of prejudice against wealthy families, aristocratic families, and holy places. He was already used to it.
"Let's go, let's go see the elders and the others."
Yang Ji suppressed his thoughts and quickly went out.
…
"Brother, how's it going?"
As soon as Bai Zongdao walked to the door, a group of Paektu Mountain disciples who were waiting immediately hurriedly surrounded him.
"The matter is done, we can return to the sect."
Bai Zongdao glanced at everyone.
Everyone let out a long sigh.
Bai Zongdao did not tell the truth. Yang Ji was not one of the only people Bai Yuanyuan knew outside, but the only person the junior sister knew.
The only possibility for her to leave Baitou Mountain was to find Yang Ji. But for some reason, Bai Yuanyuan has not shown up yet.
The younger junior sister rarely leaves the sect. What Bai Zongdao is worried about now is whether Bai Yuanyuan is hiding from her senior brothers on the mountain or is lost in the mountains.
No matter which one it is, it's very disturbing.
"Little junior sister, where are you?"
A trace of deep worry flashed in Bai Zongdao's eyes. Then he waved and led everyone away from here.
…
After settling the matter with Bai Zongdao, Yang Ji returned to his room with several elders, Ouyang Zushi, and fellow disciples in the faction.
The room at Jade Ax Inn is actually very spacious. But when such a large group of people came in, the room was so densely packed that it immediately seemed much cramped.
Yang Ji won the position of martial arts examiner, and even squeezed into the top three. This is a long-standing matter, and it is also a major event for the entire Iron Crown Sect.
There was an atmosphere of joy and joy in the room.
"Yang Ji, tell me. What happened when you participated in the martial arts examination in Zhoufu this time? Tell us everything in detail."
Elder Qiu sat cross-legged on the ground, beaming with joy and looking forward to it.
Although Ouyang Zishi mentioned Yang Ji's incident in the martial arts examination several times in letters, how exciting this kind of thing is can only be explained clearly in a few letters.
The best way is to ask them in person. Especially when Yang Ji is sitting in front of them.
"Yes, senior brother. Please tell us everything."
"I have never participated in a national examination. Senior brother, please tell us about it so that we can gain experience."
"That's right, that's right."
…
With the presence of the elders, a group of people encouraged and were eager to try. Regarding Yang Ji's participation in the Zhoufu imperial examination, the elders in the faction had long ago published the letter written by Ouyang Zushi in the faction in order to boost people's hearts.
It spread like wildfire.
Now Yang Ji is a well-deserved star and legend in Perry!
Based on his achievements, he will definitely write the "History of the Tieguan Sect" in the future. Just think about the time when Yang Jizhong was elected, they were sitting in the room. Sitting in front of them, everyone was very excited and wanted to write history and participate in it.
Witness the feeling of a legend.
If you don't ask carefully at this time, I'm afraid you will beat your chest and regret it endlessly in the future.
Yang Ji smiled, and without hiding anything, he recounted his participation in the martial arts examination in detail. Although he concealed some private things that might cause trouble, he told most of them.
Those who can follow the elders here are all talented disciples in the sect. These people are the future of the Iron Crown Sect. The elders brought them here in the hope of supporting and supporting them.
After all, he is a disciple of the Iron Crown Sect, and Yang Ji is happy to help them.
The martial arts examination is a very long story, Yang Ji told it in great detail, and also added some of his own insights into the martial arts. This can be regarded as his selfishness, hoping to help the underachievers of the Iron Crown Sect.
After all, he would not be able to stay in the Iron Crown Sect for long. After winning the election, he would inevitably leave the Iron Crown Sect and enter a larger world.
This is almost the inevitable path for every warrior to pursue strength, and it is also a necessary process.
Thousands of martial arts masters have come this way, and Yang Ji is not the first, nor the last! And all sects and sects are happy to see his success.
It's like seeing the seeds you sow fly to the earth, take root, sprout, and grow into big trees. This is an achievement and an honor. It is also the greatest affirmation of the sect and sect's dedication.
"Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps." The strength of these low-level sects at the county level is far inferior to those of the big sects, but there has never been a big sect to destroy these small sects, like the Tieguan Sect.
The competition among the small sects is very fierce.
The reason is very simple. The small sects in each county are the cornerstone of the bottom and the cradle of training disciples for the larger sects. After batches of disciples of the sects have completed their studies, they leave and enter larger sects for further training. This is a form of martial arts.
Advancement is an unspoken rule that has not changed for thousands of years.
This is true whether it is the Han Dynasty or the previous dynasty!
Yang Ji spoke in great detail, especially the various combat skills and experiences, which were extremely helpful to the disciples of the Iron Crown Sect present, and they all listened with rapt attention.
In terms of actual combat experience and skills, Yang Ji can almost be regarded as a master. Even the three elders present here occasionally gained something when listening to what Yang Ji said.
Among what Yang Ji said, what attracted the most attention was the literary test part of the martial arts examination.
"Senior Brother Yang, what exactly is the unity of spirit, energy and spirit?"
A disciple of the Iron Crown Sect couldn't help but ask. There are also disciples of the Iron Crown Sect who have passed the examination, but the number is very small. Regarding the literary test, many people are ignorant and confused.
Even many people who passed it were confused. When asked about it afterwards, they were vague. And this time the martial arts examination was more difficult than all the previous martial arts examinations, and even many seventh-level martial arts examinations were eliminated.
.
Therefore, Yang Ji's success is particularly prominent and important.
Yang Ji was silent. This thing is indeed difficult to explain clearly. But for the disciples of the Iron Crown Sect, it is very important. If they can understand it, it will be very helpful to them in the future.
The Iron Crown Sect is the sect he came from, and Yang Ji also hopes that before he leaves the sect in the future, he can leave something behind that will be helpful to them.
"The literary test of the martial arts examination is actually a test of what you already have, such as your quality and spirit."
Yang Ji pondered, thinking about how to word it:
"Many people will understand him as faith and will. This is actually fallacious. Having extraordinary faith and firm will will definitely help, and such people will definitely have an easier time living. But in fact, Wen
That’s not what the trial part is about.”
Yang Ji didn't know that this was the first time someone from Taiyuanzhou Prefecture systematically explained the most difficult and mysterious literary test part of the martial arts examination, and explained the court's intentions.
At this moment, even Ouyang Zushi pricked up his ears and listened intently, with an expectant look on his face.
"Essence is spirit, qi is blood, and yin is thought. The unity of the three means the unity of essence, qi, and spirit."
Yang Ji carefully recalled what the young monk Fanneng taught him:
"Let's put it this way, when practicing boxing, the mind should be integrated into the blood, and the blood should be driven by the boxing intention to circulate throughout the body. Only in this way can the spiritual energy between heaven and earth be absorbed. Many people know that this is the unity of boxing and intention, but few
Some people know that this is actually the unity of blood and mind."
"It's just that the literary test of the martial arts examination is higher. It integrates a person's blood, thoughts, and spiritual power into one. The inside and outside are connected, and they are integrated without distinguishing each other. This is the unity of spirit, energy, and spirit. It's easy to say,
It’s hard to do.”
"Many people can easily integrate two of them, but if they want to combine the three, they simply can't. That's why this time the martial arts examination is so difficult. The imperial court also uses this method to select those who will be in the future.
People with great potential can be cultivated and promoted for reuse in the future."
Yang Ji explained.
The room was quiet, and Yang Ji was surprised. When he raised his head, he found that a group of people, including the three elders, were all confused, half-understanding, and full of doubts on their faces.
"Unity of essence, energy and spirit" is a very advanced method, which involves at least the eighth major martial arts sect and above. Even the three elders of Tieguan sect Zhang, Xing and Qiu have not been exposed to this realm. They only feel that it is profound and mysterious. Others
One can imagine it.
Although twenty-eight people passed the literary test of the martial arts examination, many of them were confused or forced themselves to pass, such as Ouyang Zhuming, the ninth son of the Ouyang family; or they used sect secret methods such as Zhang Daoyi and Bai Bai.
Zongdao and the others; or with the help of the power of other beings, such as Zhang Pu.
Although each of these people passed the test in the end, they consumed a lot of energy and were almost exhausted. They had to sit on the ground to rest and recover their blood and physical strength. In fact, Yang Ji was the only one who understood the "unity of spirit, energy and spirit". (~
