Chapter 42 Friends

Zhenwu Taoist temple covers a large area, but they can only see the tall walls with blue bricks and green tiles when they stand outside.

The two black oil gates in the dojo are extremely majestic, two zhang high and more than three zhang wide. Six tiger-head copper rings are inlaid side by side, each of which are the size of a washbasin. This is natural. Such a tall and thick gate, even if it is wood, at least it takes people to work together to pull it open.

A huge plaque was hung on the front door with four golden characters "Zhenwu Taoist Temple" written on it, which set off the two glaring stone lions in front of the door, making them look majestic.

At this time, the main gate of the dojo and the small gates on both sides were closed, just leaning against the wall of the dojo, and there were several that looked like temporary awnings.

Before Bai Ya and others could walk out of the street, there was a buzzing noise from the awning.

There was a long queue in front of each awning. The queues were all young people, most of whom were wearing strong clothes, with swords and swords. Like Bai Ya and others, they were all martial artists from all over the country who came to the martial arts hall to take the exam.

In the awning, there were several scholar-like people sitting in charge of registration. There were warriors wearing dojo uniforms patrolling back and forth, holding long sticks to maintain order.

Before Baiya was approaching, he was shocked by the scene. There were six pergolas here. The team in front of each pergola had a rough estimate of the number of people, and there were at least fifty or sixty people.

If you calculate based on one hour of registration, at least two thousand people will register during the day. Tang Shou once said that the time for registration for the martial arts center is one week. Even if there are too many people in the previous few days and too few people in the next few days, the average number of people will probably not be less than ten thousand.

Of course, it is impossible for these ten thousand people to be admitted to the martial arts hall, but even if they only charge one-third, there are more than three thousand people!

Although Bai Ya had known that martial arts practices in this world had become popular, this scale still shocked him. He collected more than 3,000 people a year, which is comparable to the university recruitment in his previous life, and it had to be that kind of comprehensive university.

"Can they all enter the Qingcheng Sect in the future?" Bai Ya couldn't help but ask Lu Yuan beside him softly.

"How is that possible!" Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile and replied in a low voice, "According to the elders of Brother Yu's family, the number of martial artists recommended to Qingcheng Immortal Sect in Zhenwu Temple every year is only 100, and the lowest is less than ten!"

"Then...what should the rest of the people do?" Bai Ya was surprised. The proportion was too low.

"If they can join Zhenwu Dojo, they will no longer have a future!" Lu Yuan shook his head and smiled, "If you want to become an official, those with high martial arts can be military generals, military prosecutors, police officers, and martial arts can almost be yamen runners, guards, and strong squads. If you don't want to become an official, they can also go to the escort agency to escorts, watch the venue for merchants, and be bounty hunters for the government..."

"You can also go to the wilderness to hunt wild beasts and open up fields. I heard that as long as you clear a hundred acres of new land in the wilderness, the court will grant you a title of marquis, and the land will also belong to you!" Jiang Wu added with a smile on the side.

"No, Kaituo Hou is not easy to do. If you don't have the innate realm, you will be looking for death. Ten thousand ordinary warriors will go to the war, and in the end they will not be able to survive." Lu Yuan raised his face and said seriously, "I said last time that you are, but now you still pass on this idea to Brother Bai!"

"Yes, yes, Brother Lu has taught him a lesson!" Jiang Wu smiled bitterly and begged for mercy.

Listening to the words of the two, Bai Ya suddenly woke up.

This world is actually no different from his previous life. Everyone went to school in his previous life, but most people don’t have to be scientists, just to find a job in the future.

The same is true for these martial artists in front of them. They are different from real warriors such as Wang Peng and Huinan, and even from the children of aristocratic families such as Lu Yuan. They may not necessarily have the ambition to practice martial arts, but perhaps just to have a good future.

"It's getting late, you two are going to queue up to sign up!" Tang Shou interrupted with a smile and rescued Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu quickly fled and took Bai Ya and his sister Jiang Nan to find a team to line up.

About half an hour later, Bai Ya and the other two came back.

"How, have you signed up?" Lu Yuan asked with concern.

"I've reported it. Xiaonan and I will be able to take the exam tomorrow, but..." Jiang Wu cursed with angrily, "The sour scholar in charge of registration actually made Brother Bai line up for the fifth game in three days!"

Lu Yuan and the others looked at each other, with a hint of embarrassment on their faces.

"The Shu people are xenophobic, don't care!" Lu Yuan comforted him, and saw that Bai Ya seemed to have no resentment, and immediately stopped mentioning this matter.

Bai Ya's zombie face showed no joy or anger, but he did not care much about such things.

The Jiang brothers and sisters are from Shu and are children of famous martial arts families. In their previous lives, they were equivalent to red children, and even officials do not need political review.

His fake household registration is a young hunter in Hanzhong. In his previous life, it would be like an expatriate, and he was still very poor. If he hadn't signed up with the Jiang brothers and sisters, the scholar in charge of registration might have placed him on the last day.

Thinking of this, Bai Ya felt a little lucky. If he hadn't put down his skin at that time and deliberately contacted Lu Yuan and others, the journey would have been so smooth.

The three of them have completed their registration, and they will turn to Lingtian Martial Arts Hall and Baoshen Hall.

However, Zhenwu Dojo is located in the east of the city, and the addresses of these two families are located in the west of the city. The straight line distance is less than ten miles, so you will definitely not be able to walk.

So everyone went to the official road to call a postcar.

The postcars in Chengdu City have fixed specifications and can only drive on official roads and cannot penetrate the streets and alleys. The space inside this kind of cart is very large, and it is not pulled by a cattle horse, but a canine beast called "Biaotu" is used.

This thing looks very similar to "光", with eyes like copper bells, dog teeth protruding, and hair on the head grows spiral in circles.

However, he looks gentle and omnivorous, and his strength is not as good as that of a cattle and a horse, but his image is also majestic. He is not afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards in the wild, and is more suitable for pulling a cart out.

After hiring this car, they finally caught up with the registration before nightfall.

After the serious matter was settled, everyone relaxed and chatted while visiting the Chengdu Night Market.

Baiya once stayed in Liangzhou City and saw the scene of the city that was bright and bright all night, singing and dancing.

That city is not only a major frontier town, but also a major transportation route on the Silk Road. Caravans gathered, with a large foreign population and a developed business, comparable to the magic city in his previous life.

Compared with it, Chengdu City has similarities and differences.

Chengdu's geographical environment is too good, and there are no floods that are flooded from time to time in the Yellow River Basin in the Central Plains. There are abundant rainfalls, dense river networks, and no droughts. There are no wind disasters in the southeast coast. It can be said that drought and flood are guaranteed to harvest.

The Yizhou border is surrounded by mountains, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Compared with other prefectures and counties, wars are not frequent. As long as the people are willing to work, they can always solve their desires. Compared with other places, they can be called a comfortable life, happy and healthy life.

Therefore, Chengdu City has dense household registration, with streets and alleys filled with wine shops, flower buildings, and night markets that are prosperous and prosperous than Liangzhou City.

Moreover, there are not so many people in the Saibei Hu people here. Although there are many people in the night market, they are orderly. The Shu merchants on the street are hospitality, while the Shu women are graceful and gentle, subtle and elegant, which is pleasing to the eye.

Everyone walked and watched, laughter and joyful.

Bai Ya looked at Lu Yuan beside him and suddenly remembered a boring problem that he had ignored before.

"Brother Lu, you have family-born close-fitting skills, why are you so interested in kendo?" Bai Ya asked him curiously.

Hearing Bai Ya’s questions, the group of people suddenly became quiet. Jiang Wu and Tang Shou looked at Lu Yuan with a strange expression with a smile.

"This... Brother Yu has longed for those heroic and righteous people who are single-handed and stormed around the world, so, so... "Lu Yuan stammered and explained hesitantly.

"Bad, he has been naughty since childhood. He was always taught by his uncles at home by his uncles when he practiced fists and feet, and then left a psychological shadow. When he grew up, he wanted to try another dish!" Jiang Wu laughed and unscrupulously revealed Lu Yuan's old truth.

"You black guy... are looking for a fight!" Lu Yuan was so angry that he clenched his fists and headed towards Jiang Wulei. The two of them ran to the front.

"Haha!" Tang Shou, who had always been quiet and elegant, suddenly laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth.

He was already handsome, and his smile suddenly became more beautiful than Hua Jiao, and attracted all living beings, which attracted attention on the street, both men, women, and young and old. Even Bai Ya was a little dazed.

Tang Shou soon noticed the strangeness around him, his handsome face turned red, and he quickly covered his fan. Lu Qing and Jiang Nan next to him could not help it anymore, and they turned their faces to cover their mouths and laughed secretly.

Bai Ya suddenly felt a little melancholy when he watched everyone play.

Although he had no parents in his previous life, he also had an uncle who raised him, a group of good-favorite friends. In this life, he was alone and alone.

Although I met Gu Lin Inn along the way, I met everyone in Gu Lin Inn, Wang Peng, the old beggar in Luolian Hall, and several monks from the Vajra Temple. But these people were just passing by, neither had close friends nor were they considered friends of the same generation.

The three people in front of him were Lu Yuan, Jiang Wu Dunhou, and Tang Shou, although he was quite cunning, he was still innocent. If possible, he would not want to lose these friends he made in this life again.

But in a few days, they will join the martial arts hall and embark on their own martial arts path from now on. Although everyone can still gather in Chengdu for a period of time, once the gap in practice is widened, they will inevitably feel a sense of distance.

Thinking of this, Bai Ya suddenly felt that he should find a way to join a martial arts school as soon as possible.

"Brother Tang, I remember you once said that there are more than ten martial arts schools that recruit disciples this time. Can there be any martial arts schools that require literary examinations?"

"No need for a literary test?" Tang Shou put away his smile, frowned slightly, and asked cautiously, "Does Brother Bai want to join those small sects?"

"If martial arts can match..."

"No!" Suddenly, the voices of Lu Yuan and Jiang Wu came from the front.

"Brother Bai is thinking about something!" Lu Yuan walked over with anger. "The small sect lacks foundation and is biased in martial arts. If you find that the road ahead is slim in the future, can you still betray the sect?"

"Yes, we don't look down on the small sects, but at the beginning of our practice, the wider the road to martial arts, the better." Jiang Wulang said, "If you make such a choice, wouldn't you be joking about your ambition?"

"Brother Bai, Brother Lu and Brother Jiang's words are also answers!" Tang Shou looked at Bai Ya and smiled, "Since we are determined to achieve something in martial arts, how can we compare with those ordinary people who only make a living! If you still think that we are friends, don't do such a fool!"

In fact, Bai Ya was already a little regretful as soon as he said this. He remembered Zen Master Yuanming’s reminder!

Despite this, Lu Yuan and the other two still moved him a little.

"I almost misled myself. Thank you for your warning!" Bai Ya leaned over and bowed to the three of them.
