"What?" Yang Ming almost let go of Lin Ruo after hearing this. If Tang Xin said that, wouldn't he be holding someone else's wife?

Lao Lu was confused after hearing this. Although he had just returned from overseas, this thing was a bit unexpected.

"When we were suppressing bandits along the east coast, Tang Xin promised Brother Lin Nian to take good care of Ruo'er, and I have proposed marriage to the Lin family."

Lao Lu scratched his head and suddenly thought of Lin Xiao's wretched appearance in the Lin family. It shouldn't be. How could such an enlightened person as Lin Xiao agree to marry his precious daughter to Tang Xin?

Look at Lin Ruo's appearance, with her thin skin and tender flesh. Although she can't be said to have a stunning appearance, she can still be regarded as a beauty. She is a lady and has an outstanding demeanor. Look at Tang Xin again, with that arrogant look on his face. What do you think of her?

Some people believe it even if they eat a child when they are hungry.

This combination is completely incompatible. After thinking about it, Lao Lu felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

"How dare you talk about proposing marriage!" Lin Ruo growled feebly. If it weren't for Yang Ming's support, she might have fallen down.

"Ruo'er, what my parents ordered the matchmaker to say, I, Tang Xin, finalized the marriage after joint discussions between the Yin family head and the Lin family head. There is no joke."

Tang Xin's every sentence is sonorous, and indeed it is not a lie.

"Shameless person! It was you who killed my brother!"

Lin Ruo lost strength and passed out. Yang Ming looked at Lao Lu with a look of despair. Such a beauty fell in his arms. Not to mention whether he was embarrassed or not, the evil spirit of Tang Xin opposite him was almost soaring to the sky.

"Old, old, old, old! Old Lu! I'll help senior sister go back to rest first. You and this dear friend should chat first!"

With that said, Yang Ming took Lin Ruo and trotted away. Although Tang Xin kept looking at the direction Yang Ming left, the old Lu in front of him was not a good person.

"Okay, I know what Tang Buhui is thinking. After all, marrying the Lin family will increase the strength of the Yin family. However, it is impossible for Lin Xiao to agree to this marriage. Lin Xiao and his father Lin Luan...

…”

"This is the marriage that ancestor Lin Luan agreed to. Tang Xin came to Tianheng Mountain this time to see how Ruo'er is doing."

Now Lao Lu understood that the old man Lin Luan was probably persuaded by this kid.

When the bandits were suppressed along the east coast, Lin Nian, the eldest son of the Lin family, also went with the army. However, it seems that because of Tang Xin's negligence, Lin Nian's soul disappeared along the east coast. From then on, Tang Xin has been carrying regret and guilt.

If there is anything that is the most loyal thing in the world, it should be this regret and guilt. Lin Nian's last words before his death were to ask him to take good care of his sister Lin Ruo.

Mr. Lin Luan must have taken a fancy to this regret and guilt. He knew that Tang Xin would never let Lin Ruo down in this life, so he agreed to the marriage.

Anyway, if Lin is going to get married in the future, instead of letting him become a victim of family interests, it is better to really find a man who can help her throughout her life.

Tang Xin has absolute loyalty to Lin Ruo, and he is also a leader among the younger generation. He is a seed player who can represent the future of the Yin family.

What's more, he is still a soldier of the Miyun Banner, and he may be captured by the Miyun Banner in the future.

After much thought, Lin Luan agreed to the matter.

"No, no, no, no, old man Lin Luan promised that I wouldn't be surprised. That bastard Lin Xiao loves his precious daughter the most, so he can't agree."

"Master, this is our private matter and is not your business."

Tang Xin cupped his hands, apologized, and turned away.

Looking at Tang Xin's leaving figure, Lao Lu felt a strong curiosity. Although this kid had a lot of heart and potential, his appearance was really not worthy of Lin Ruo.

After all, you are the daughter of the first family in Beigan. You are a man with a black face and a scar, and you are such a dewy beauty. Don’t you feel guilty?

Seeing Tang Xin leaving, Lao Lu also walked away. The cold wind of the winter moon was blowing on the green bricks here.

Yang Ming just sent Lin Ruo back to the dormitory, and happened to bump into Hu Yue on the way. After hearing what Hu Yue said, he realized that Lin Ruo came out specially to see Tang Xin. Because Hu Yue said something more about Miyun. The Five Tigers seemed to have arrived at the mountain gate, and Lin Ruo took advantage of her to fetch water and slipped out.

"What????Senior Sister Lin Ruo has a fiancé!!"

Hu Yue's eyes widened in disbelief, and Yang Ming winked and told her to calm down and keep her voice down, for fear that she would wake up the sleeping Lin Ruo.

"I don't know the specifics. Anyway, Tang Xin said that the senior sister was his fiancée. Lao Lu can testify because he was at the scene."

Once the little girl Hu Yue's Bagua soul burned, she could not stop it at all. She was about to run out to find Lao Lu when she suddenly stopped.

"No, no, no. Senior sister and Tang Xin are meeting, why are you and Lao Lu there?"

"Well...don't worry so much. If you want to hear gossip, just go find Lao Lu. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Seeing Yang Ming running out again, Hu Yue stamped her feet angrily.

"Bah! That stinks Yang Ming! Where can I find Uncle Lu?"

Lin Ruo didn't know how long he was going to sleep. Yang Ming hurried back to the kitchen. What he was most afraid of now was that Lin Ruo would do this to Tang Xin after she woke up.

This senior sister usually seems quite sensible, but why does she seem so wild today?

As soon as he walked into the backyard, he saw Lao Lu sitting on a stone bench under the big willow tree drinking.

"What time has it been and you still have the heart to drink?"

"What's wrong with me drinking? Even if the sky falls, it won't stop me from drinking."

"Then what do you think we should do about this?"

"what's up?"

"It's about Senior Sister and that Tang Xin."

"It can't be done. It's a household matter. How can we get involved?"

"Then what if Senior Sister really doesn't want to marry and chops Tang Xin up when she wakes up?"

"No, with Mr. Hong watching, nothing will happen.

.”

Yang Ming thought about it for a moment, and he was afraid that Lao Lu had just told Mr. Hong the matter while he was sending Senior Sister back.

"Then you also met your fourth senior brother?"

"Of course I did. When we showed the sign of the Imperial Envoy of the Western Regions, he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and his lungs almost exploded."

Sure enough, with Lao Lu's temperament, it is impossible not to be angry with his senior brother, but for someone in his twenties and still acting like a child, Lao Lu is really boring.

"Boy, the Miyun Five Tigers are not easy. Tomorrow is the exam. Can you beat them?"

"You said it's not easy anymore. I just don't have to lose too badly."

"No, no, you have to win. Don't you want to go to Songhe Tower?"

"Tang Xin, I feel flustered when he looks at me. Why should I fight him? I won't fight him."

"Hey you kid."

Lao Lu stopped drinking and just looked at Yang Ming who was acting rogue.

"Tell me, what do you want to take from me?"

"Lingbao, a spiritual treasure that enhances the innate pure Yang Qi."

Yang Ming stretched out his hand towards Lao Lu and almost lost his temper.

"You kid is just thinking about shit! If I had a spiritual treasure, could I not give it to you?"

"You, Lao Lu, are just trying to figure it out! If I don't awaken with the help of Lingbao Zhenqi, how can I fight with them? Could it be possible that they were drugged in the ring!"

After being asked this question by Yang Ming, Lao Lu really came back to his senses and thought for a moment. Although Yang Ming is very talented, his true energy is indeed a major shortcoming of him. He used it to defeat He Dong that time.

Only by instilling his Qi can he win.

Although there has been a lot of improvement now compared to two months ago, if you don't reach the level of Qi awakening, it would be a fool's errand to win against people like Tang Xin and others.

The problem is... Lao Lu doesn't have any spiritual treasure on hand at this time to enhance the innate pure Yang Qi.

If you can go down the mountain and go to Zhongzhou, it is not difficult to find some old acquaintances to get this spiritual treasure. The question is, where can you get this thing on Tianheng Mountain?

"Tang Xin should be in the middle stage of awakening. He will definitely be able to concentrate his energy in less than three years. You are indeed a bit of a thorn in your side."

Yang Ming helplessly spread his hands to express his helplessness to Lao Lu. Lao Lu couldn't drink anymore and started wandering around the backyard.

"Tell me, is there anyone among the contestants this time who can produce this kind of spiritual treasure?"

Yang Ming's words seemed to have inspired Lao Lu. Lao Lu rolled his eyes, showing a cunning face, and sat on the stone bench and drank two sips of wine with peace of mind.

"Hey, don't worry about this. I have a clever plan. Just knock them all down."

Three days was neither long nor short. After two days of sleeping, Lin Ruo recovered very well with the help of Yang Ming's nutritious meal. With the persuasion of Master Shangqing, Lin Ruo

If you let go of your anger for the time being, you can start preparing for the exam with peace of mind.

Lin Ruo's two-month retreat has also brought about huge changes in her. Not to mention that she has mastered Tianhong Sword Technique, and her sword intention is restrained and tolerant, forming a perfect match with her sharp sword power.

The ways of compatibility, transformation of yin and yang, and endless reincarnation are fully reflected in her.

It can be said unceremoniously that Lin Ruo's achievement should be the youngest person to achieve great mastery of Tianhong Swordsmanship since Tianheng Mountain was founded.

At the age of sixteen, he has a complete understanding of the sword's movements and sword intentions, and he is quite skilled in Tai Chi.

From the perspective of a weapon master, Lin Ruo's talent is unique and belongs to the level of an evildoer.

In a blink of an eye, the winter solstice has arrived. There is not too much chill in Tianheng Mountain that day. The flags have been set up in the big arena of Jiuyun Temple. This time the audition is first an audition and then an arena competition. It is basically a competition between

A training and selection process between the third generation disciples of Tianheng Mountain and the young disciples of Miyun Banner.

The outstanding ones among the three generations of disciples can thank their master and go down the mountain after the hall examination. After all, among the three generations of disciples, the oldest ones are already eighteen or nineteen years old. Taoist Master Tianheng will distribute a batch of travel expenses and documents, and they can go to various states.

The local government agency is on a errand.

Of course, for core disciples like Lu Chen and Lin Ruo, Tianheng Mountain still needs to continue to focus on education. Because these disciples are the direct disciples of the three masters, to those registered disciples who went to the mountain to learn skills, this time it is them who

Prove that he will not embarrass Tian Hengshan.

Before Yang Ming became a disciple of Lu Cheng, he was also a registered disciple. There are good and bad names for registered disciples. The good thing is that they can enjoy the general education that the masters treat equally. The bad thing is that they definitely don't have as concentrated resources as the core disciples.

Already.

To put it bluntly, the audition is actually a test for all registered disciples. If you pass the test, it will be much easier to go down the mountain to find a way out. If you fail the test, then you should continue to practice on the mountain.

"Yang Ming, you also have to participate in the audition."

Master Shangqing looked at Yang Ming who was wandering around the world carelessly, and couldn't help but sigh. Since he followed Lu Cheng, this boy has acted more and more like Lu Cheng. Although he has not caused any trouble, he loves to join in the fun and carelessly. Avatar

It’s amazing what Lu Cheng was back then.

After being shouted out by Master Shangqing, Yang Ming could only queue up dejectedly behind a group of third-generation disciples waiting for the audition.

The audition is said to be simple, and it is indeed very simple. It starts with the Tianheng Qiankun Bell in Tianheng Mountain. This bell caused Yang Ming to suffer a lot, and the basic techniques taught by Tianheng Mountain are similar to this bell.

There is a great relationship.

The two poles of heaven and earth are created by creation. One bell contains more than 300 formations from the thorny town. It can not only rebound damage, but also judge your application of true energy.

Therefore, the old people in Tianheng Mountain used the template of Tianheng Qiankun Clock to create more than thirty small Qiankun Clocks. This small Qiankun Clock can judge your strength and opponent by the way and force you attack him.

The degree of mastery of Qi.

The most convenient thing is that he can classify you into high and low grades. The first grade is the highest and the ninth grade is the lowest.

This first-hand testing method was first proposed by Tianhengshan, and various sects rushed to imitate it, and it has become a relatively common testing method at present.

"Guo Hao, seventeen years old, good grade four!"

The core disciples who reported scores do not need to participate in the audition. After all, basically all core disciples will compete with the Tianheng Qiankun Bell for several months. This kind of test is completely unnecessary.

"Next, Yang Ming, get ready."

A disciple of Master Taiyin who was not familiar with Yang Ming called Yang Ming's name. Yang Ming walked up to the testing platform holding the Bodhi Wishful Stick. First he nodded and bowed to say hello to his senior brother, and then after his senior brother agreed to start,

, waving his stick and rushed forward.

"boom!"

Yang Ming's full blow directly deformed the face of the test clock.

"Yang Ming! Look at the good things you have done!"

Yang Ming's move made the senior fellow in the test panic. He had never encountered such a situation before. The disciples who participated in the audition had never had the clock face deformed.

"Senior brother...how do you calculate this?"

"Whatever, just go away and cool off."

Before the senior brother could speak, Lao Lu's howl came from the referee's table. Yang Ming looked towards the direction of the referee's table. On the seats were the gloomy-looking Taoist Master Tian Heng and the smiling Chen.

Major General.

Lao Lu was sitting under the main seat. Although they were not close together, Yang Ming could still hear his cursing voice. Also sitting under the main seat were the burly Zhang Laosi and Adjutant Li. Adjutant Li smiled very elegantly.

, that old man Zhang laughed like a monkey in heat, and could be heard from a long distance away.

"Xiao Bazi! This apprentice of yours can do it! One stroke of the stick will cost you three thousand taels of silver!"

Zhang Laosi didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement. Lao Lu's heart was bleeding. This test clock cost more than three thousand taels of silver. He had to go to the West Desert to find a group of old blacksmiths with bad tempers to help build it.

I had to ask my grandpa and grandma to find the talisman master at the castle tower to help me carve the talisman array.

The three thousand taels he mentioned was the cost price, not a waste of effort at all.

"The old ones won't go away, and the new ones won't come. Fourth brother, do you think I am like the master who missed the three thousand taels?"

When Zhang Laosi heard what Lu Cheng said, he turned his head and looked at Taoist Tian Heng and said carelessly.

"Master, you have heard it. Xiaobazi is not short of money. He has caused so many troubles for you. If you pay one thousand eight hundred taels of gold, can you let him go down the mountain happily?"

Although Lu Cheng was extremely depressed, he really had no choice in the face of this fourth brother's instigation, and with the corner of his eye, he had already seen Taoist Master Tian Heng counting money with his fingers.

"Forget it, forget it, I admit defeat this time."

Lu Cheng was too lazy to follow Zhang Laosi and slid down, lying motionless on the chair, like a dead fish.

The auditions are in full swing, and the situation this year is pretty good. Anyone who has reached the fifth level or above is considered qualified. Many disciples have happily received documents that have passed the fifth level and are waiting to watch the core disciples compete in the ring.

This time the arena match is extremely interesting. Rumors have spread for a long time about the brotherly rivalry between the Mo clan brothers, the love-hate relationship between Hidden Tiger Tang Xin and senior sister Lin Ruo, and whether newcomer Yang Ming can make a big splash.

Can Senior Brother Lu Chen counterattack Senior Sister this time and become the leader of the third generation of disciples?

All in all, there are so many things to see that it is dizzying.

The most anticipated one is the Miyun Five Tigers competition. This time Miyun Banner has 16 young soldiers participating. Counting Yang Ming from Tianheng Mountain, there are 17 participating. In other words, after six rounds of competition, we can witness

The strongest of the thirty-three young people.

In the first round, when the lot was drawn, everyone breathed a sigh of relief after Tang Xin got a bye.

After all, no one wants to fight Tang Xin, the hidden tiger among the Miyun Five Tigers.

Of course, except for Lin Ruo, Lin Ruo wanted to hack Tang Xin to death on the playing field. However, with Mr. Hong presiding over the game, this could only be regarded as an idea.

"The first round, the first game! Tianhengshan Yang Ming versus Miyun Banner Fangci!"

Mr. Hong's sonorous voice broke out in the first game, and the audience was instantly in an uproar.

One is Yang Ming, the little chef who beat up He Dong of Luxian Palace, and the other is Fang Ci, the martial artist of the Miyun Five Tigers. The fight between these two people is absolutely beautiful to watch.

"Sister, do you think Yang Ming can win?"

When Hu Yue and Lin Ruo were watching the fight in the audience, they saw Yang Ming climbing up to the ring with a stick in his hands. That look was really worrying.

After all, Yang Ming has not yet awakened his true energy. Compared with He Dong, that Fang Ci will only be stronger than He Dong, not weaker than He Dong.

This battle is a huge challenge for Yang Ming.

"Xiao Bazi, how can this disciple of yours do it? I think he will be beaten by Fang Ci within three moves!"

Zhang Laosi will not miss any opportunity to defeat Lao Lu.

"Fourth brother, you look down on me! How about we start a deal?"

"Oh, you want to give me money?"

Zhang Laosi raised his eyebrows. He naturally knew how powerful Fang Ci was. That little weakling named Yang Ming looked like he had not yet awakened his true energy. If he beat such a weakling, Fang Ci would not even be able to use his own trump card.

No need to release it.

"Hey, fourth brother, if my apprentice wins, you can help me pay for the test clock. If he loses, I will give you three months' military pay."

"Xiao Bazi! How much money did you burn?"

Zhang Laosi looked at Lu Cheng in disbelief. Three months' military pay was only six thousand taels of silver. An ordinary merchant family would have to work hard for many years to earn such a large sum of money.

Tianheng Mountain accepts registered disciples, and each person only earns five taels of silver per year. Many children from poor families have to work hard to afford it.

Six thousand taels of silver is a really large amount of money.

"Fourth brother, do you dare to bet! I just have money to burn. I don't have anything else to do when I go overseas. I really don't care about money!"
Chapter completed!
