This was a real victory. Yang Xuanlan was coming fiercely, and everyone was restrained at every turn. They thought they were doomed. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly reversed. Yang Ji not only won, but also forced Yang Xuanlan to leave in embarrassment.
Although there were no swords and swords in the whole process, the feeling of fighting wits and courage and defeating a "martial arts master" still made everyone feel extremely happy.
"It's so enjoyable this time! Yang Ji, come and have a drink!"
Duan Gang and Yang Ji clinked their cups together and said excitedly.
"I, Duan Gang, seldom convince others. But this time I really convinced you. Yang Ji, how did you know that the letter was useful?"
Duan Gang said.
"I have no idea."
Yang Ji said lightly: "It was Yang Xuanlan's reaction that reminded me. At that time, my letter had not actually been sent yet."
"!!!"
Suddenly, the dining table was quiet, and five or six pairs of eyes looked over at the same time.
"Impossible. I clearly saw you buying pen and paper!"
Duan Gang said.
Wang Xian and others had the same reaction.
"I bought paper and pen, and I did buy the letter. However, I didn't send it. I have never been to Zhoufu. If I didn't test Yang Xuanlan, how would I know who to send the letter to. And -
"
Yang Ji paused and said with a sly smile:
"If not, how could I have deceived you? Help me hide it from Yang Xuanlan!"
"OK!"
"You bastard, how dare you lie to us!"
"Hit and teach this kid a lesson!"
…
The crowd roared angrily, suddenly swarmed forward, threw themselves out, and started fighting. But soon, the sound of fighting turned into cheerful laughter.
Everyone laughed.
No matter what, in this battle with a huge disparity in strength, being able to "send off" a "martial arts man" of the imperial court is something worth celebrating.
…………
On the official road outside Pingchuan City, Yang Xuanlan and others were walking quickly.
"Young Master, are we going to go back in such despair? Are we just going to let that kid go?"
Yang Long among the four said bitterly.
If it weren't for the rules of the imperial court and being in Pingchuan City, they wouldn't have had to go to such trouble. With the eldest son's strength, they could easily crush him to death, and it was definitely no more difficult than crushing an ant.
The eldest son is a dignified "martial arts man", and Yang Ji is just a little "child student". It is really unwilling to go back like this.
"Do you have any ideas?"
Yang Xuanlan glanced at him lightly.
Yang Long shivered all over. He suddenly understood and quickly bowed his head: "I'm sorry, eldest son, I said the wrong thing."
There is a distinction between master and servant. Following Yang Xuanlan, he did not speak. Others could not speak. This is the most basic rule.
Yang Xuanlan withdrew his gaze and nodded.
"A letter from King Taiyuan asked me to go back immediately. If it wasn't important, he would never do this. The top priority now is to complete the wedding with Princess Chaoyang. As for Yang Ji——"
Yang Xuanlan sneered, a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes:
"Even if I leave Pingchuan County, I can still deal with him."
Yang Xuanlan puffed up his sleeves and took out a large golden post from it: "Let the people in the sect send this post out, and things here will naturally come to an end."
"Yes, sir!"
…
As soon as Yang Xuanlan left, Pingchuan City completely calmed down.
Yang Ji's life was back on track. Apart from reading the ancient classics given by his historian, he spent most of his time on exercise.
Yang Ji had already understood the "Five Ghost Transporting Technique". After reaching the third level of martial arts, the endless energy from heaven and earth continued to flow in. Yang Ji's cultivation improved by leaps and bounds every day. It was far ahead of the past.
Yang Ji's blood became thicker and thicker. Gradually, Yang Ji had an intuition that the second "Five Ghost Incarnation" was about to take shape.
Three days later——
"Buzz!"
The void shook, and the mental power in Yang Ji's body flowed out like water from a floodgate. The "formation" this time consumed more mental power than before.
Yang Ji's mental power bottomed out instantly, and there was a buzzing sound. A new mental power was generated from the center of his eyebrows, but not long after, half of it was sucked out again.
It took Yang Ji twice as much mental energy as before before the second "Five Ghost Incarnation" began to take shape.
"Hehehe..."
A burst of weird laughter was born from the void, with a soft voice, like a woman's voice. Right next to the first "ghost", another green-faced and fanged "ghost" came out of the void.
The second ghost among the five ghosts, "Charming", was finally born.
Compared to the first tall "Zhao", "Mei"'s figure appears to be much slimmer, just like the difference between a woman and a man.
Its aura was obviously not as ferocious as the "Evil", but it had a pair of particularly bright eyes. Yang Ji took one look at it and immediately felt confused and confused, with a feeling of invisible interference.
"It's amazing. This is the power of charm!"
Yang Ji thought to himself.
The "five ghosts" are all powerful ghosts, but on this basis, the abilities of the five ghosts are slightly different. The second ghost, "Charming", has the power to enchant and confuse people's hearts.
This kind of ability is usually nothing, but it is very important in battle. "When masters fight, life and death can happen in a split second." As long as one is affected by "Charm", one mistake will lead to immediate death, and one will be punished on the spot.
"squeak!"
The door opened, and the old butler walked in with tea. His gaze touched "Charming"'s eyes, and he was instantly confused. The tea tray in his hand trembled and was about to fall.
"Uncle Liang!"
Yang Ji shouted sharply, and at the same time, with a thought, he recovered the incarnations of "魑" and "Charming". After the two "Five Ghost Incarnations" disappeared, they turned into two jujubes, condensed into a substantial "blood energy core", and stored
Arriving at Yang Ji’s Dantian.
This is the "core" of the Five Ghosts, which contains spiritual power.
This is the core formed after the incarnations of the Five Ghosts are condensed and formed. In the future, whenever necessary, these "Five Ghosts" incarnations can be summoned with a thought, which is equivalent to having five free thugs.
"Master, what is this? Those eyes are so powerful!"
Uncle Liang was shouted at, came to his senses, and asked.
"It's called charm, and it can affect people's sanity. The power of this ghost is concentrated in a pair of eyes. Not to mention you, even I will be affected by just one look at it."
Yang Ji smiled.
Uncle Liang seemed to understand but had only a half-understanding. A burst of heat came from under his hand, and he immediately came back to his senses:
"By the way, young master, this is ginseng tea. It can refresh you and nourish your brain. You can drink it before leaving."
"Um."
Yang Ji stepped over, took the ginseng tea from the tea tray, and drank it all in one gulp: "Uncle Liang, thank you for your hard work."
Saying that, he stepped through the door and walked away.
"Today is the twentieth day, and it will be over in ten days."
Yang Ji thought about it secretly, feeling relaxed in his heart.
The "internship period" lasts for thirty days in total. After thirty days, you will be recommended by the court and enter the sect. A sect is a unique existence that transcends aristocratic families and clans. It is a holy place of martial arts that brings together a large number of masters and secrets of scriptures and paintings. .
There is no "student" who is not eager to enter the sect for further study, and Yang Ji is also the same.
"Yang Ji, the captain is already waiting for you inside. Come in quickly."
Guarding the gate.
Today is the day that Captain Ding specially summoned Yang Ji. He had already sent someone to notify Yang Ji yesterday. But Captain Ding never said what happened.
"It's time to work."
Yang Jidao, then stepped into the hall.
The huge sculptures of two rows of soldiers are as majestic as ever. Captain Ding is in the hall, resting his chin on his hands and leaning forward, as if he has been thinking here for a long time.
Duan Gang, Li Chen and others were not seen around. This seemed to be a private meeting.
"grown ups!"
Yang Ji stepped forward and bowed.
"ah!"
Captain Ding's thick eyebrows twitched, and he came to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Yang Ji, you are here."
"Sir, yesterday you specially asked someone to inform me to come to the Duwei Hall. What's the matter?"
Yang Jidao.
"Yang Ji."
Captain Ding hesitated for a moment:
"How old are you this year?"
"sixteen."
Yang Ji frowned. This question was a bit strange.
"Sixteen, you are really young."
Captain Ding raised his head slightly and murmured to himself, then lowered his head suddenly:
"Yang Ji, have you ever thought about joining the army if you couldn't pass the martial arts examination?"
Yang Ji frowned even more. Captain Ding seemed a little distracted today. He didn't say why he was called here. He just talked about age and the army. However, Yang Ji still answered truthfully.
"I have indeed thought about it. But unless there is no other choice, students are not willing to choose the path of promotion in the military."
Yang Jidao.
"That's not what I meant. I meant..., Yang Ji. If you couldn't join the sect, would you join the army?"
Ding Duwei said.
Yang Ji's heart sank. What does it mean that he cannot join a "sect"? He is the civil and military leader of this imperial examination. If he cannot be recommended by the court and enter a sect, who can enter?
"Recommended by the imperial court..."
Yang Ji's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly realized something.
"Sir, what happened? Is there something wrong with the student's imperial recommendation?"
Yang Ji said in a deep voice.
"Why!"
Captain Ding sighed, and did not expect that Yang Ji would react so quickly:
"Yang Ji, I won't hide it from you. The five recommendation places after this internship have been determined. I'm afraid your name is not there."
Boom!
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Yang Ji was shaken all over. He looked up at Captain Ding in disbelief.
How could his name not be included in the five-person quota?
No matter how you calculate it, you cannot push him to the bottom.
"Yang Ji, we received a post from Zhoufu. It is stamped with the seal of 'King Taiyuan'. Due to the controversy that happened to you, King Taiyuan has canceled your recommendation qualification."
Captain Ding glanced at Yang Ji with an unbearable look on his face. To be honest, he actually quite saw this student:
"You also know that King Taiyuan is the highest official in Taiyi Continent and has the highest authority. Although he rarely interferes in the affairs of counties and counties, once he makes a decision, it is final, whether it is me or General Qin No one has the right to object. Hey——"
Yang Ji's face was as pale as paper, and his heart sank instantly.
"King Taiyuan" is actually "King Taiyuan"... This is a high-ranking and powerful royal prince, a tyrannical existence that Yang Ji could not imagine.
Although Yang Ji knew that the letter from "King Taiyuan" came too quickly, and that it was most likely that Yang Xuanlan had created it, he had no choice but to do anything about it.
Depriving a martial arts student of his qualifications may cause some controversy, but in the name of controversy, depriving a martial arts student of his right to recommend is more than enough. No one will even pay attention.
In my ears, Captain Ding's voice came vaguely:
"We don't want this situation either. If there are no accidents, Shi Qing will probably take your place..."
