Yang Ji had never thought that there was such a profound meaning behind the red lanterns that filled the house that year.
Wu Xiucai!
The weight revealed by these three words is too heavy.
In the Han Dynasty, the martial arts examinations at every level were extremely brutal. Although there were only a few thousand people taking part in the "Martial Arts Student" examination, many times that number were eliminated before they even started.
As for the "Wu Xiucai" competition, the competition is even more intense. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is about choosing the best among the best, "one out of ten thousand"!
According to Yang Ji's understanding, if you want to pass the imperial examination of "Wu Xiucai", you must have at least a third level of martial arts training.
This is almost the same level as the "Grand Steward of Zhou", and the eldest son Yang Xuanlan who achieved this step is only fifteen years old!
At the age of fifteen, when Yang Ji was still working hard to enter the realm of martial arts, Yang Xuanlan had already become a "martial arts scholar" in high school. Although Yang Ji had been suppressed for eight years, Yang Xuanlan's talent was
It's secretly shocking.
"Impossible! How can there be no news about such a big thing in the clan?"
Yang Ji said in surprise.
"This is what the eldest son meant. The eldest lady originally wanted to celebrate grandly, but she was opposed by the eldest son. The eldest son said that a young martial arts scholar has nothing to celebrate. His heart is higher than the sky, and his ambition is to fight.
The Holy Spirit doesn’t like a martial scholar at all. The eldest lady couldn’t defeat him, so in the end she just hung up a red lantern in the mansion as a sign of intent.—The top leaders of the three major clans know about this!”
Yang Meng paused, looked at Yang Ji and said earnestly:
"Yang Ji, I really hope you think about it carefully. The eldest lady is not so easy to overthrow. Even if you succeed, do you think that if the eldest son knows about it, he will watch his mother being overthrown by you? Eldest Young Master High School
This happened six years ago for Wu Xiucai. With his qualifications and hard work, he is now not far away from becoming a "Martial Arts Scholar" in high school. He may not even be in high school. - Yang Ji, you are still there now
Confidence?”
There was silence in the woodshed, only the sound of the lights on the table flickering, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Yang Ji lowered his head and remained silent.
This was the first time he heard news about the eldest son of the Yang family. Yang Ji wanted to tell Yang Meng that he didn't care. But he also knew that he was deceiving himself.
In this world of martial arts and sages, the fame of the Han Dynasty has an incomparable status. Wu Tongsheng, Wu Xiucai, Wu Juren..., the status of each level is very important, and thousands of people admire it!
Martial Arts Man!
This was a title that countless warriors dreamed of. Yang Ji felt a huge, suffocating pressure even just thinking about it.
The Yang family has a century-old foundation and has produced a total of three "Martial Arts Scholars" so far. If Yang Xuanlan succeeds, he will be the fourth "Martial Arts Scholar" in the history of the Yang family, and he will have an unparalleled reputation in the Yang family.
Comparable portion sizes!
gap!
a very wide distance!
While Yang Ji was still struggling to breathe ten steps, a fourth "Martial Arts Master" might appear in the Yang family.
"No matter what, I won't back down!"
Yang Ji was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said decisively:
"My road has never been smooth along the way. God helps those who help themselves. Eight years ago, I did not accept help from others, and it will be the same eight years later. No matter whether Yang Xuanlan is a martial arts scholar or a martial arts scholar, to me,
There is no difference."
When Yang Meng saw this, he knew that there was no possibility of mediation. After giving up completely, he actually had some admiration for Yang Ji.
Yang Ji clearly knew that the eldest son had extraordinary talents and strength far beyond ordinary people. He could still have such courage. This alone was not comparable to ordinary people.
"In that case, I won't say more."
YangMeng stood up:
"Yang Ji, you are different from us. If there are no accidents, your qualifications are probably higher than many of our achievements. However, you should also be more careful with the eldest lady. Earlier, I got news
, it is said that there was a commotion in the 'Zhenwu Hall'. It seems that someone has infiltrated. The specific information is not clear yet. However, the eldest lady has sent someone to take over. The Zhenwu Hall is of great importance. Yang Ji, you should pay more attention to it! I only hope that it is me.
Heartbroken."
"Zhenwutang!"
Yang Ji was shocked and immediately became vigilant.
When he was very young, he heard that there was a mysterious picture scroll passed down from his ancestors hidden in the "Zhenwu Hall". Any disciple who had reached the tenth level of breathing could enter the "Zhenwu Hall" to view this painting. Anyone, including clan members,
No one can stop me.
Only by understanding the mysteries in the scroll can one truly enter the realm of martial arts. This is the foundation of the clan and the biggest secret of the clan.
"YangMeng, you have been to the Zhenwu Hall. What secrets are hidden in it?"
Yang Ji asked.
"Oh, I can't explain it clearly. You'll know it when you actually see it. I can only tell you that the scroll is the original work of our ancestors, and it's called the 'Unity of Fists and Intentions'!"
YangMeng left quickly after speaking.
However, Yang Ji's heart kept rising and falling, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time. His current state was not enough to enter the "Zhenwu Hall" to see the mysterious picture that had been passed down for hundreds of years, but sooner or later he would have to go in.
"The Zhenwu Hall is the place of our ancestors. Even if the clan elders enter, they must be respectful and pay three sticks of incense before leaving. This is a place where no one dares to interfere. How dare that poisonous woman violate the ancestral precepts and dare to tamper with that place?
?”
Yang Ji had a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't believe that the eldest lady had the courage to do something like that.
"No matter what, it will be natural until the boat reaches the bridge. With my current strength, even if the picture scroll is placed in front of me, I can't practice. Instead of worrying about whether these are available, it is better to concentrate on practicing and wait until I enter the Zhenwu Hall.
Let’s talk about it later.”
Yang Ji thought this and then made up his mind.
The lights were turned off and Yang Ji** went to sleep.
…
Yang's inner palace is brightly lit.
A white-haired old man stood in front of the eldest lady.
"Madam, this goes against the teachings of the master. The Zhenwu Hall has a fundamental relationship with the clan, and no one is allowed to interfere. This is the teaching of our ancestors!"
The old man said with excitement.
"Hmph! The Picture of Unity of Fists and Intentions is the original work of our ancestors. I took over the Zhenwu Hall to prevent outsiders from stealing it. How does this violate the ancestral teachings!"
The eldest lady, her head covered with gold hairpins, sat high up and said coldly.
Around her, there were several guards who were all her subordinates, and everyone was trembling and cautious. The eldest lady was originally as cold as ice, but since the death of Butler Zhou, her whole temperament has become even colder.
Now even their closest subordinates are taboo about it.
"Madam, the Zhenwu Hall was just a shadow of a person at that time. It is not sure whether it was stolen or whether it was an outsider. The senior members of the clan are not allowed to interfere with the Zhenwu Hall. This case must not be allowed!"
The old man said.
"snort!"
The eldest lady snorted coldly, her face covered with frost:
"I sent people to protect the Zhenwu Hall, but even the clan elders didn't say anything. Why do you, a little guard of the Zhenwu Hall, object?"
"This case is unacceptable!"
The old guard said.
"Are you trying to go against me?"
The eldest lady said coldly.
"this……"
The old guard was silent. How could he, a guard of the Zhenwu Hall, dare to fight with this powerful lady? It was just his duty, and...
Upon seeing this, the eldest lady frowned slightly.
"You seem to have a nephew."
The eldest lady held up the tea on the side, took a sip, and said casually:
"The clan has always valued talents, and allocated more resources to those who have the ability to cultivate them. I can still make a decision on this. You are a smart person, you should know what to do, right?"
The old guard was silent, the expression in his eyes changed, he hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh and left with a gloomy expression.
"Madam, the Zhenwu Hall has a special status. I'm afraid if we do this, we will attract a lot of criticism. Moreover, the Zhenwu Hall cannot be sealed forever. Wouldn't it be... not worth the gain?"
After the old guard left, one of his subordinates carefully considered his words and said.
"Hmph! Who said I would seal off the Zhenwu Hall forever!"
The eldest lady's eyes flashed, she glanced at him coldly, and slowly stood up from her seat.
"What the lady means is..."
Several guards looked at the eldest lady.
"For four months, I want no one to enter the Zhenwu Hall. Without the unity of fist and mind, that little beast will never reach the martial arts realm before the age of sixteen. This time, I will completely expel Yang Ji.
Within the clan, life is worse than death!"
At the end of the speech, the eldest lady's voice was fierce, her expression was ferocious, and her whole body was shaking with anger.
Everyone was secretly frightened. The eldest lady was rarely this angry, but since the incident with Butler Zhou, she began to become moody.
"I don't know what the relationship is between Butler Zhou and Madam."
Everyone said secretly.
"Madam, do you want us to send someone to deal with Yang Ji? His strength is not high, and any martial artist at the martial arts level can definitely kill him. There will definitely be no problem."
A tall and thin guard offered advice.
"Need not!"
Unexpectedly, the eldest lady rejected this suggestion without hesitation: "From now on, no one is allowed to attack Yang Ji!"
"ah!"
Everyone had a look of astonishment on their faces. This was not like the style of the eldest lady.
The eldest lady ignored everyone. She took a deep breath and remembered what Butler Zhou said to him before he died. Except for her and Butler Zhou, no one knew that there was a "mysterious master" behind Yang Ji.
This idea was originally just a guess, but with the death of the great housekeeper of Zhou, this guess has become conclusive. If Yang Ji is killed, no one knows whether this "Fire Yang King" will lose control and attack the Yang family.
"From now on, all the money that should be given to him will be given to him as usual, no matter what. Tell the people below that no one is allowed to do anything below. Within four months, without my order, whoever dares to make arbitrary decisions will be severely punished.
Deal with it more! - As for that little beast, wait until the eldest son comes back and then deal with it!"
"yes!"
Everyone's hearts were shaken and they all responded in unison.
