Now that you're here, take care of yourself. Now that you're here, why not take a good look at the world?
Wang Tao thought about deliberately sealing his heavenly cultivation, and then wandering around like a poor boy who had never seen the world.
While Wang Tao was observing the lifelike wood carvings, he suddenly saw pedestrians on the street running in one direction like crazy.
"Brother, what big thing happened ahead?"
Wang Tao pulled an old man's sleeve and asked in confusion.
"Hey, the daughter of the prime minister's family is competing in martial arts today to find a bride. Today is the first day. The one who is strong and healthy went to take the position last night."
The old man said as he broke away from Wang Tao and then ran in one direction as fast as he could.
"The ancient martial arts competition to recruit a bride? It's quite interesting!"
Wang Tao touched his chin, a fun idea brewing in his mind.
Wang Tao closed his eyes slightly, regained his original state when he came down the mountain, and then ran towards the street like any other ordinary person with curiosity on his face.
There was a platform set up in the open space in front of a large house, and a shed was built behind the platform. Unfortunately, it was blocked by a red curtain, so the situation inside the shed could not be seen.
There was a fence around the stage, and soldiers stood beside the fence, sternly staring at the madmen who dared to cross.
I thought the people inside the shed were the bride and the Prime Minister's family, but unfortunately there was a curtain blocking the view of the people inside.
There were crowds of people outside the railing, shouting and crowing like a courting rooster, hoping that they would be favored.
Wang Tao looked at the crowd and quickly divided the venue into several regional levels with the ring as the center.
Undoubtedly, the best position is to be like a security soldier, who can stand within three steps of the railing in the first-class area.
Anyone who can stand in such a place is either a rich and powerful person with connections, or a person with strong force, and no one dares to mess with him.
Slightly further away is the area between three and seven steps, which is the second level.
Those who can stand in the second-class area are ruffians. They have connections but are not tough enough. They have force but are not strong enough, so they can only be ranked second-class.
Further away is the area of seven to ten steps. The third level area is full of strong men, who have special skills and strong bodies.
The ten to fifty steps are all ordinary people, and they show a stratified ending with young people in the front, teenagers in the middle, and old people at the end.
Fifty steps away are the animals enjoying the fun, some domestic dogs looking for their owners, and domestic pigs who are not afraid of humans.
Outside are all the scholars who are powerless. They are worse than pigs and dogs, but they still want to find an excuse to be aloof and arrogant. From time to time they hold books and recite loudly, and from time to time they quietly laugh at the pitifulness of the beasts in front of them.
.
There is no need to ask these people. The reason why they shout like a sissy eunuch at the top of their lungs is simply because they hope that their so-called hard work or erudition will attract the attention of the people in the mansion.
Wang Tao was very indifferent to such people, so he thought about squeezing past.
"Ignorant short-haired beast, don't you know first come, first served?"
A scholar glared at Wang Tao, then pointed at a piglet at his feet and scolded him.
Well? Referring to mulberry trees and scolding huai trees?
Wang Tao's face froze, then he straightened his tall body like an ordinary person, and raised his thick arms proudly.
"Are you scolding me?"
Wang Tao pretended to look at him fiercely, and the scholar's face suddenly turned pale.
He looked at Wang Tao, suddenly shook his head, and then moved out of the way with his face flushed.
"Hey, those who understand the etiquette and music of riding, shooting, and shooting are scholars. You are just a bunch of useless ghosts who use reading to cover up."
At this time, a voice sounded behind Wang Tao, and a tall, muscular young man dressed as a scholar came over.
He touched the sword on his waist, then glanced around with disdain.
The people around him seemed to know him, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to refute a word.
Wang Tao turned around and looked at him, but the man looked at Wang Tao with a sneer.
"What? Are you not convinced? Do you think that we scholars are all like eunuchs like them?"
This young man seems to want to seek justice for the cowardly scholar just now. He also wants to tell Wang Tao that a strong scholar is a real scholar.
"There is nothing to be dissatisfied with. In my eyes, all living beings are equal, and there is not much difference between beasts and scholars."
Wang Tao is telling the truth. He is a majestic master of the world and really doesn't care about things like reading and understanding.
But what seemed to him to be perfectly normal turned out to be a mistake at this moment.
As soon as Wang Tao finished speaking, the sturdy scholar's face turned cold.
"My name is Han Tian, and I am a student of the local Jingtao College. My teacher has taught me since I was a child: benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, trust, riding, archery, and writing. I am a true scholar. I am willing to be civilized and martial. I am a real scholar. You actually insult me with an animal?
"
Han Tian looked unkind, and then put one hand on the sword on his waist, as if he was going to kill Wang Tao if he disagreed.
