Chapter 101 The world is changing, leaving or staying
The sky is getting late, the flying snow is gradually subsided, and the north wind is still howling, blowing with increasing force.
Yang Chaoxi and Bai Yourong's farce-like sparring ended without causing too much excitement, and the invitation to fight for "Second Class Martial Arts" continued.
In front of the Ziji Palace, the people in the corridors on both sides turned their attention to the new invitation to fight. After a stick of incense, there were two more "Martial Arts Class B" disciples, who were challenged by the disciples who came up to invite the fight.
Defeat and join the array of beating disciples.
At this point, the sky was completely dark. Wu Xuzi Hao Jinhan shook his stiff body and looked at the disciples inside and outside the martial arts arena: "Today's martial arts test ends here! We will meet here tomorrow at the beginning of Mao hour, and the test will continue!"
Yang Zhaoxi and other disciples all responded, and then followed Gongsun Zhenren and others to the Zhaiyuan. After a simple and sufficient evening fast, Yang Zhaoxi, Guan Huer and others hurriedly washed up and went to bed early to prepare for tomorrow.
Fight hard and learn to accumulate energy.
Five fights and competitions a day are unprecedented for Yang Chaoxi since his birth.
The feeling of fatigue after exerting all one's strength finally began to crawl all over the body from the toes. The last time I felt this tired was probably the time when the four of us looked back at the tiger... With such random thoughts, the consciousness was gradually swallowed up...
…
The night was dreamless. When the eastern sky turned white, Yang Zhaoxi, Guan Huer and the other four people in the living room had already fetched water and finished washing themselves. It was not yet time for breakfast, and they were all sitting on the wooden bed.
Above, calm the breath, regulate the breath, and get rid of mania and depression.
Only Niu Pang'er couldn't calm down. He scratched his ears and cheeks for a while, and peeked at the other three people who were sitting upright. He was already hungry and felt that the short period of time before fasting was like a year!
The breakfast meal was abundant and the same things were eaten regularly. However, in this age, it was much better than many people in the countryside.
The Taoist priests and disciples in the temple quickly ate their breakfast and gathered around the cleaned martial arts arena. Some gathered in front of Ziji Palace and under the verandah, and some had already voluntarily stood in the martial arts arena to continue their martial arts test.
Hao Jinhan just counted and confirmed the Shou Lei and Da Lei disciples who had not had time to compete yesterday, announced the order, and returned to the wide eaves in front of Ziji Palace.
At this time, Sun Hunian and another older disciple were standing in the field. Sun Hunian was holding two swords, and the disciple was dancing with his long sword. The two of them connected with each other in length, attack and defense, and executed dozens of moves.
It's over, but there are gains and losses for each other.
Sun Hunian began to seriously study the practice of inner alchemy after the "Cuiyun Alchemy Society". He also received guidance from several masters in the temple. Now he has begun to get a glimpse of the method. The two swords in his hands are quick and agile, slashing in all directions.
Cutting has some meaning of "using Qi to exert force".
The disciple who was making Changshan didn't know it yet, but he just felt that it was becoming difficult to grow the hair in his hand. The backlash and pulling force felt from the head of the hair became stronger and stronger. The two were about one foot apart at first.
The disciple was still able to maintain his strength. As Sun Hunian advanced step by step, Changshan showed a sluggish state.
Sun Hunian didn't hold back anymore, and Qi filled his arms. "Bang, bang, bang, bang," a series of chops made the disciple's palms numb. He stepped back again and again, and took the last step directly outside the martial arts arena. He wanted to stop his feet.
By the time, it was already too late, so I had to clasp my fists and admit defeat.
Sun Hunian also accepted it as soon as he saw the opportunity. When the senior brother opposite him stepped out of the martial arts arena, he had already sheathed his sword and stepped back. He returned the gift and watched the senior brother leave the martial arts arena.
After Sun Hunian's performance, there were several more invitations to fight. Some were unable to play yesterday, while others had enough energy to make a comeback today.
For example, Chai Zi'ang, the red spirit son, appeared for the third time. The purple color on his forehead had not faded. He dragged a three-pointed two-edged sword and attacked fiercely on the martial arts field. Finally, he won a "Second Class in Martial Arts" and was satisfied.
Return.
Yang Zhaoxi fell into a deep sleep all night. At this time, he was full of energy. He took Ming Lingzi Zhuo Songtao and invited Bai Lingzi Zhuang Wankuan and Guanglingzi Qin Yuanxuan, who were "Martial Arts Grade A" disciples, to fight.
It's just that the objects of discussion have been exchanged: Yang Chaoxi and Zhuang Wankuan are competing against each other, Zhuo Songtao and Qin Yuanshuo are competing against each other.
Yesterday, he got the "Martial Arts Level A" guarding position for nothing. Zhuang Wankuan had an impressive martial arts skill that he had yet to display. Today, he was invited to fight by Yang Chaoxi, so he took a wooden mo knife about a foot long and pointed the gun at him.
Yang Zhaoxi rushed forward and started chopping.
The two of them seemed to have made an appointment, and the martial arts they used were fierce and fierce. Yang Zhaoxi used the "Overlord Spear Technique" that he had practiced since childhood, and was stimulated by the energy of the future.
Zhuang Wankuan is actually a set of the world-famous "Shentong Siye Sword". According to legend, it was evolved and tempered by the Mo Dao team led by the famous general Li Siye through the battles in the military formation.
I saw the domineering swordsmanship in the martial arts, the cold blade, the two men were fierce and direct, and refused to give in to each other. They fought for a whole stick of incense, and even displayed a killing spirit similar to the one when the two armies were fighting.
In the end, Yang Chaoxi was superior and forced Zhuang Wankuan to appear outside the martial arts arena, which sealed the victory.
Zhuo Songtao used "Gongsun Sword Technique" and fought against Qin Yuanxuan's "Thunder Whip". In the end, he was unable to defeat him. The wooden sword was smashed into several pieces by a single whip, so he had to surrender.
As Yang Chaoxi advanced, the number of "Martial Arts Second Class" disciples was reduced by one, and it took several more fights before the dust finally settled.
At the beginning of noon, there were no more disciples inside or outside the martial arts arena who challenged the "Martial Arts Class A" and "Martial Arts Class B" disciples who were defending the martial arts.
Hao Jinhan took a piece of yellow paper with several alterations, stood in front of the martial arts arena, and said in a deep voice like thunder: "According to the agreement between the temple owner and the teaching master, the disciples who will be awarded 'Martial Arts Class A' and 'Martial Arts Class B' today will be
The declaration is as follows:
Qinglingzi Zhu Jieran, Guanglingzi Qin Yuanshuo, and Chonglingzi Yang Chaoxi are the ‘Martial Arts Class A’!
Miao Fenggao, the son of Wen Ling, Zhuo Songtao, the son of Min Ling, Hua Yingtian, the son of Cang Ling, Huang Shuo, the son of Yu Ling, Hu Nian, the descendant of Mu Ling, Chai Zi'ang, the son of Chi Ling, Murong Huaigu, the son of Jin Ling... are the "Martial Skills B"
wait'!"
After Hao Jinhan finished speaking, most of the disciples in the corridors on both sides showed envious expressions. There were also a few expressions of embarrassment, as if they were not too sure about the next "Martial Arts Class C" competition. There was a slightly dull and tense atmosphere.
Under such circumstances, it fermented quickly.
Natural selection is the way of nature. In a world where chaos is gradually emerging, if you have a sharp weapon in your hand and are not afraid of attacking people, you may have a better chance of survival than others. As for that paradise where "no one is superior, and there is no dispute in the world"
, I am afraid that it may not be there in a dream... These are simple truths. Who among the disciples practicing Taoism and martial arts in the temple would not understand?
Gongsun Zhenren looked at the situation of his disciples who were either sure of victory or worried. He suddenly stood up and said loudly: "In the past, among my disciples of Shangqingguan, there was a lot of emphasis on literature and a neglect of martial arts. This is understandable. This is all because of the great peace of our dynasty.
In the years to come, when all nations come to court, if they are willing to study the scriptures and its meanings carefully and become officials to serve the country, this is the right path."
At this point, Gongsun Zhenren's voice became a little heavier: "However, although the chaos in Jizhou has subsided, the war and poison have spread, and the vassal town and the country's awe have gradually lost. I dare not say anything about what will happen to the world in the future! But
It is the unshirkable responsibility of those of us who practice Taoism to practice hard in Taoism and martial arts, and to protect the Taoism of the prosperous dynasty!"
Hao Jinhan continued: "The master of the temple has worked hard to protect my Shangqing Temple for decades. Several fellow disciples and I have always been grateful. Now that the world has changed, the master of the temple has seen some clues, so he asked everyone to change their ways and practice more.
Some Taoist and martial arts skills. No matter what the future holds, I will always have the power to protect myself.
I have been your teacher since I was born, and now I have to separate you into different ranks and decide whether to stay or go. I feel very reluctant to give up. But those who stay have heavier responsibilities! Those who leave may not be able to have a different life.
As..."
Hao Jinhan had already choked up a bit as he spoke, but the majestic eight-nine-foot-long man still choked back his tears after all.
Zhang Hezong, Mingxuzi of Guanzhong Prison, also came over from under the eaves, patted Hao Jinhan on the shoulder and motioned for him to sit back first.
Then he slowly said: "Such a comparison is the first time since the founding of Shangqing Guan! It is not only related to the continuation of Taoism, but also a pioneer in practice. If you don't understand it now, it doesn't matter. The profound meaning of it, I believe that in ten years,
Twenty years later, you will naturally understand.
Next, on behalf of Junior Brother Wu Xuzi, I will talk about the disciples who are initially designated as "Martial Arts Class C": Wei Lingzi Guan Hu'er, Hunlingzi Jiang Feng, Tu Lingzi Niu Pang'er..."
The disciples who were read the Taoist name were all invigorated, and they had broken away from the dull mood just now. They entered the martial arts arena one by one and began to gear up and prepare to receive the challenge from the disciples.
The disciples whose Taoist names were not read became even more agitated! Before Zhang Hezong could announce the following matters, they all stood up one after another, consciously walked into the martial arts arena, and began to choose who they wanted to invite to fight.
Zhang Hezong saw that the confrontation between the two parties had already formed on the martial arts field, and the tense atmosphere seemed to reach its peak in a few breaths. Then he nodded and said: "That's right! The young man is full of energy and dares to give up for the chance of winning.
Give it a try and keep your youthful spirit!
You have already guessed the following rules: the disciples who fight are still the ones who invite the disciples to fight. After choosing the person to invite, you can now report your Taoist name to Master Wu Xuzi.
In addition, if anyone wants to invite the disciples of ‘Martial Arts Level A’ and ‘Martial Arts Level B’ at this time, they will be allowed to do so!”
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of Dalui disciples had gathered around the high case in front of Hao Jinhan under the eaves of Ziji Palace. After being reminded by Zhu Jieran and other disciples, they formed a long queue and placed the Dalui disciples they had selected, as well as
State your name and name one by one.
Zhang Hezong also walked over and called Yang Zhaoxi, Qin Yuanshuo, Miao Fenggao and other disciples whose ranks were temporarily stable to assist Hao Jinhan in arranging the next pairs of disciples in order.
Several other disciples whose ranks were temporarily stable have taken brooms and swept out another martial arts field further forward in the courtyard, which is called the "Dizihao" martial arts field. The original one is called
A martial arts arena for "Tianzihao".
The order was arranged, and it was time for lunch. Everyone in the temple quickly finished their lunch in the Zhaiyuan, and then returned to the two martial arts arenas, where the martial arts test continued.
Zhang Hezong was responsible for following up on the victory or defeat at the "Tianzihao" martial arts training ground, and Hao Jinhan was responsible for following up on the victory or defeat at the "Dizihao" martial arts training ground. Both sides started at the same time, doubling the speed, and the intensity of the fight was even greater.
More than doubled.
Unsurprisingly, Guan Huer and Niu Pang'er were regarded as the "soft persimmons" in this round of competition. There were actually more than ten brothers who came to invite the competition. Because the order of the competition was interspersed, the two were able to compete.
There is more room for breathing, so that the energy will not be exhausted by the wheel battle.
Even so, except for Guan Hu'er who managed to hold on in the end, Niu Pang'er was defeated in the intensive fight and sat listlessly under the verandah, sulking with himself.
After Yang Zhaoxi and Sun Hunian finished busy with the things at hand, they all returned to the verandah and sat down around Niu Pang'er.
Seeing Niu Pang'er's expression aggrieved and silent, Yang Zhaoxi patted him on the shoulder: "I was in the same situation yesterday - they all thought I was easy to deal with, so they came over to fight with me. If it weren't for the inconvenience of the viewer,
I will take the initiative to admit defeat in the third game! Fighting several by one person is exciting, but it is a waste of energy. You must be tired from fighting today. It doesn’t matter! Let’s take a breather, have a good night’s sleep, and fight again tomorrow!”
Niu Pang'er raised his neck and said, "You don't have to say such nice things! Although I, Niu Pang'er, am reckless, I know my own weight. If I were as skilled as you, I wouldn't have to worry about this anymore."
Yang Chaoxi smiled and said: "You're such a 'barbarian'! Do you still remember what Master Chengxuzi said about 'the brave are not afraid'? Now that you are timid before fighting, you lose your momentum first. This is a taboo for military strategists!"
To defeat your opponent, first of all, you must not be afraid, you must dare to fight with the martial arts you have learned! If your fists are not good enough, use weapons. If you cannot fight head-on, you must outsmart your opponent. When it comes to outsmarting, you must be aware of the opponent's holes and weaknesses...
...When we fight again tomorrow, you can do this..."
Niu Pang'er was attracted by him and told him a plan to defeat the enemy. The gloom in his eyes quickly dissipated and he began to shine with radiance!
