Chapter 73 Conditions of the Heavenly Punishment Court
The team moved forward slowly, but from the west there were still people entering accompanied by elders from time to time. After finally verifying the household registration and entering the courtyard, the registration process for the four schools was basically similar, except that Tianxingyuan only had three black-robed teachers for interviews, and the registration
There were obviously far more people in Tianxingyuan than in the other three schools, so the team moved forward very slowly.
Fortunately, He Qizhou discovered that these three black-robed teachers would not refuse anyone to sign up. Taking a pulse was more like a show. Lin Chuan walked in front of Qi Zhou as usual. The black-robed teacher who was interviewing was a middle-aged man in his forties.
Man, there is a Xuanwu statue embroidered on the right fold. However, the Xuanwu statue is already darker, so it is difficult to spot it if you don’t look carefully when it is embroidered on the fold. I have been taking the pulse as if going through the motions. When I got to Lin Chuan, I suddenly stopped. My expression was a little surprised, and then I lowered my voice.
He spoke a few words to the teaching staff behind him and asked Lin Chuan to stay with him for a while.
After finding the Qizhou Meridian, I was confused again. If I don't have the Qizhou Meridian, I still want to enter the Tianxingyuan. Although there is no explicit rule that it is not allowed, all students still have self-knowledge on this point. If you don't have the Meridian, you will definitely not be able to enter.
This is one of the most famous schools in the world. So the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said: "Young man, this school really has no precedent of recruiting people who are not connected. Please come back."
Just as He Qizhou was about to defend himself, Lin Chuan said anxiously: "Why are you schools so unreasonable? Sir, please give me a chance. My young master will not disappoint anyone."
The black-clothed teacher shook his head and said, "Young man, I've already sent someone to ask the professor for instructions. I can give you priority to enter the school, but I really don't have the power to let him sign up."
He Qizhou felt that his vision went dark and he lost his direction for a moment, as if all hope was shattered. At this moment, an old man in black robe walked quickly. He had a thin face, slightly freckles on his temples, and a long beard that reached his neck.
The Xuanwu statue on the quilt was particularly conspicuous under the outline of the gold thread. After the middle-aged man in black whispered a few times to the old man, the old man asked Lin Chuan to go over, stretched out his hand to feel the pulse of the statue, then stroked his beard and asked: "Kid, what are you doing?
What's your name? You have a good foundation. If you are willing, I am willing to guarantee your admission to the school and you will be exempted from tuition and miscellaneous fees!"
Lin Chuan hurriedly said: "Grandpa Professor, this is my young master. He taught me most of my kung fu. Can you let him join the school?"
The old man was a little surprised and asked Qi Zhou to come over. After taking the pulse, he was quite angry. He was secretly happy. According to Lin Chuan's pulse pattern, if he could reach the fourth pulse within three months, even if his moves were not good, after two
After three months of training, it should not be a big problem to enter the final level of the martial arts examination. It is even possible to go directly to the Hanlin Academy. He has not seen such a seedling for many years, because with such conditions, the other three schools have no reason to refuse.
, but when it was said that martial arts was taught by Qi Zhou, who was not familiar with it, he was inevitably unhappy. After all, no teacher likes dishonest people. However, for the sake of the reputation of the martial arts school, the old man did not get angry and just said: "This little brother is strange.
The eight meridians are too strong, and if you specialize in foreign martial arts, you will definitely achieve success, but it is not suitable for our school, and it is difficult for me to agree to his registration."
Lin Chuan asked again: "Isn't it enough to just sign up? If I fail the school test, we will accept it. I am destined to follow the young master. Can the old gentleman be accommodating?"
He Qizhou was also desperate, but his face returned to normal, and he said to Lin Chuan: "What are you talking about? Are you going to follow me after I get married? I have decided that you will practice in Tianxingyuan for the time being, and I will go there again
If we go to Zhongnan Mountain, maybe the headmaster will come back. It’s not certain that he knows Lu Baogen because he’s old. Then we’ll meet again in the palace examination!”
Lin Chuan had an idea and said: "There are still four or five days left to register. How about we wait? Yang Shan's master is from Jiangling Quanzhen. Maybe he knows him. Let's go back first?"
Seeing the two of them leaving as soon as they said so, the old man hurriedly said: "Little brother, the Yangshan you are talking about is Jieyuan, Nanzhili?"
He Qizhou nodded and said: "That's right. We are all from Jiangling Prefecture in South Zhili. We just missed the provincial examination for some reason, so we came to Beijing."
The old man's heart suddenly moved and he said to Qi Zhou: "If you can persuade Yang Shan to join our school, I will definitely find a way to get you to sign up. I'm not doubting your current strength. Your muscles and bones are strong enough. I believe you can also win."
Ordinary students with one or two meridians, but if you still haven’t got the meridians in a few years, the responsibility will be put on the school. We really can’t afford to lose this person, so our four schools have a tacit understanding for those who don’t have the meridians.
No one will be accepted, and even if powerful people force people to come in, most of them will be persuaded to leave within the first two years."
Lin Chuan said happily: "Master, we finally have hope, that guy will listen to you!"
When the two were leaving, the old man gave them a badge, saying that if he found the person, he would just tell the concierge and he would be taken directly to him. The badge clearly read: 'First-class Professor of Tianxingyuan, Duan Xianjue'
The next few days were torturous for He Qizhou and Lin Chuan. One of them was waiting by the official road entering the city in the southeast direction, and the other was squatting at the entrance of the Nanzhili Guild Hall. They had prepared several big guns early in the morning.
I took the steamed buns and some pickles with me and didn't go back until sunset.
For students from all over the country, there are still very few people who can actually enter the armament hall. Most people only aim at Tianshu Academy or the martial arts hall. The end of September is the last deadline for admission, but there are also arrogant people who think they are sure.
If you can enter the Military Academy, you won't bother to waste time in the four schools; and some people will delay entering the school for one to two years because they are too young, so Qi Zhou is not sure that Yang Shan will go to Beijing at the end of September. If he still
If you want to learn martial arts from Yuan Che of the Quanzhen Sect in Jiangling, you will most likely enter the Fourth School after you have mastered the Six Meridians. That would really make the two of you wait in vain.
Another problem is that there is no money around. The dilapidated inn has to collect four coins a day and feed the old yellow horse. The food for the two of them cannot be simpler. Even so, they have to wait for ten days.
When they came down, they only had a mere two taels with them. If Lin Chuan hadn't sold the horse, the two of them would have been empty-handed. He Qizhou also thought about it. At worst, he would drag Lin Chuan to the street to perform a real chest-breaking performance, leaving Ji Qizhou with nothing.
A few strong men on the other side of the city went to drink the northwest wind.
On September 26th, autumn was getting deeper and the weather was getting colder. Qi Zhou, who was still wearing single clothes, stood on the side of the official road and stretched his neck, looking at the passing cars and horses. He Qi Zhou was not at all worried about the severe cold and heat.
Don't be afraid. Most people can only move freely after opening the six meridians, and can force out the cold and heat energy on their own. But Qi Zhou has been practicing by the waterfall since he was a child. Even if it is extremely cold, he still goes to the deep pool covered with thin ice every day.
Riza: Even when the heat was at its worst, he was still practicing on the hot rocks every day and getting beaten, so even though he was dressed in single clothes, he often received strange looks from people.
As evening approached, He Qizhou had just finished sighing and it seemed that his wait today had been in vain. A carriage slowly appeared in the distance, with only a strong man driving it. He Qizhou thought to himself that Xiao Yangshan would never be with Zhang Qingrou and Yuan Che.
Squeezing into a carriage? It seems there is no hope again. The carriage passed by him, one foot, two feet, and suddenly there was a burst of familiar laughter, Zhang Qingrou!
"Zhang Qingrou! Zhang Qingrou!" He Qizhou didn't know why his shout became so hoarse, but he was so excited that he immediately shouted and chased after him. The carriage lifted a corner of the thick curtain, revealing a long-lost pretty face.
, it is undoubtedly Zhang Qingrou! Zhang Qingrou was also surprised and happy. When she saw He Qizhou, she asked directly: "Drinking gruel, are you waiting for me? Where is Lin Chuan?"
He Qizhou didn't answer, but asked anxiously: "Where is Xiao Yangshan? And why doesn't your master come?"
One person and one car entered the city while asking questions. After some questioning, He Qizhou finally knew where Yang Shan was going. It turned out that Yang Shan followed his master Yuan Che directly to the northwest to Zhongnan Mountain to visit the Quanzhen General Altar. He was expected to be three days later than Zhang Qingrou.
It took four days to enter Beijing, and Yang Shan’s goal was the Military Academy. Moreover, he was only sixteen years old this year. Even if he failed this time, he could still try hard in the next session. Zhang Qingrou had many inconveniences when entering Zhongnan Mountain as a girl, so she was accompanied by her aunt.
He wanted to go to the guild hall first, and Zhang Qingrou wanted to go to Tianshu Academy to report this year, so she came to the capital first.
When the group arrived at the Nanzhili Guild Hall, Lin Chuan was very excited, but before he could say anything more, Qi Zhou took him back to the inn. The two rode together and left the city overnight before the outer city gate was closed, along the road leading to the northwest
If we take the official road in the direction of Chang'an, we must take Xiaoyangshan back to Luoyang before September 30th.
The two of them did not find Yangshan after passing two inns and post houses. Since Juzi was qualified to live in the inns, the two decided not to miss every resting place on the roadside. As Haishi approached, Guandao
Entering a dense forest, they couldn't even see their fingers. They had no choice but to light a bonfire on the roadside. One kept vigil and the other took a break, taking turns every hour.
The next day, when the light started to show, he started to move forward again. He Qizhou secretly prayed that he could meet Yangshan on the road as soon as possible, because it would take two days and two nights to get to Zhongnan Mountain one way, and the later he met, the more likely he would not be able to make it back.
In the evening, the road was mostly mountainous. As the sun set, a post station appeared at the mountain pass ahead. Qi Zhou asked Lin Chuan to guard the roadside. He went into the post station to inquire, and then returned disappointed. At this time, at the top of the mountain in the distance, Qi Zhou asked Lin Chuan to guard the road.
First a human head appeared, and then a horse head appeared. A man and a horse were coming slowly. It was dark and the road was far away, so they couldn't see clearly. They just rode slowly forward. Suddenly another one appeared on the top of the mountain.
A human head, then a donkey head, surprise suddenly fell from the sky. Qi Zhou, who kept moving forward, recognized that the man on the horse was Yang Shan, and the man on the donkey was an old man, who must be Yuan Che.
