Volume 1 Looking to the Northwest, Shooting Sirius Chapter 29 The Opening Ceremony Part 1
These days, Chai Tiannuo secretly observed the residents of Firework Alley, and it was true as the county magistrate said. In addition to traffickers and foot soldiers, they were also government soldiers in the army, and these government soldiers were basically the guards of the right prison.
Chai Tiannuo once curiously asked Li Yichuan why the veterans who were the guards of the right prison all lived in Firework Lane. Li Yichuan thought for a while and said silently:
"Because they are very similar. They are both in the business of selling their bodies, and they are both people who live and die without leaving a trace."
In the days that followed, apart from practicing martial arts and writing to make money, Chai Tiannuo also went to watch the scenery with a few unscrupulous men.
The four brothers are present most of the time, but sometimes the number is small. After all, they are in the business of licking blood, and there will always be changes like this.
For example, Mr. Liao disappeared for three or four days before reappearing. A new bleeding centipede scar was added to the left side of his face, and with those eye-catching pimples, he became even more ugly.
This guy didn't know how to hide when he was injured. He didn't even bandage his wounds. If Chaitino hadn't secretly drank tea mixed with fruits with him, his ugly face would most likely be rotten!
The days of scraping against the wall lasted for a while, and Chaitino couldn't hold on any longer. There was both an uncontrollable heat wave and a deep cold that frightened him.
Why don't I like Miss Lu'er these days?
Why do I find that fat and round-waisted cook so pleasing to my eye, especially that thick bucket waist!
From that day on, Chaitino never climbed over the wall again, and even ignored the greetings from the four brothers. He just practiced swordsmanship and calligraphy to polish his foundation. The burning feeling in his heart slowly dissipated.
During this period, Wang Shanyu and Pu Benfang also came to see Chai Tiannuo. Perhaps because they had not been together for a long time, and they had interacted with other Wu scholars from the same family background these days, their feelings for each other became much weaker.
From that day on, the two Wu Xiucai who had fought side by side never came together again. Chai Maner complained a few words, but Chai Tiannuo rubbed his head vigorously:
"Man'er, your young master is a different kind of person."
"In Wu Xiucai's opinion, my literary talent is too much like that of a scholar."
"In the eyes of literati, I am just a vulgar warrior. From ancient times to the present, guys like me who sit on the fence have been ostracized."
After saying that, Chai Tiannuo smiled. He had been talking to Li Yichuan these days and his mood had changed a lot.
As Uncle Li said, ordinary people gather together to enjoy themselves because they have a lot of time to waste and countless emptiness in their minds waiting to be filled.
A true warrior must sink into silence and solitude. Only in this way can he sharpen the sharpest knife and the hardest punch!
The white horse has passed, and a month has passed quickly. The martial arts school will officially start classes, and the new batch of students in the liberal arts college have also arrived, so the Imperial College will hold an opening ceremony to tighten discipline and enter the new semester.
Chai Man'er was left to look after the house, while Chai Tiannuo put on his black jacket and carried a knife on his back. Before dawn, he went to the Imperial Academy. It was a long way, so he had to go early.
Chaitino arrived in front of the Imperial Academy half an hour later, and the sight in front of him really shocked him.
Nearly ten thousand martial arts scholars crowded towards the gate like a surging black insect tide, the weapons they carried clanking. The academicians and freshmen wearing white gowns stood by the street with frightened faces.
The strength of these reckless men was so great that they crushed the secondary wall of the Imperial College by more than ten meters. If they had been involved, it would have shattered in a few strokes!
The instructors of the martial arts school were paralyzed as they looked at the crowded door. They did not expect that a moment of lack of consideration could cause such a big trouble.
On weekdays, there are nearly 2,000 members in the civil and military chambers of the Imperial College, which cannot be seen at all in the rather wide courtyard.
But today, nearly 10,000 scholars came in all at once, and the originally broad avenue could no longer hold up. Even the teachers at Shangshe who were taking roll calls were confused. In the noisy environment, they couldn't call out even one Mao for a long time.
From Mao o'clock until nearly four o'clock, the dark crowd of martial arts scholars finally entered the main campus of Shangshe, and then the quail-like members of the liberal arts college walked towards their own courtyards uneasily.
Chai Tiannuo came late and stood at the end of the queue, just in time to see the scenery over the liberal arts college. He felt a bit toothache for a while.
Although the Imperial College is also divided into two wings, civil and military, they are not separated by buildings, and the scenery on the opposite side can be seen clearly.
The Grand Priest Liquor, dressed in black and red court attire, led the ceremony in accordance with the etiquette to raise children, give birth to members, dress appropriately, pay homage to the sages, purify the heart and hands, and perform the writing ceremony at the same time.
The emcee's singing and cadence are full of ancient flavor, and the accompaniment of the bells and drums is clear and long-lasting and shocking. Coupled with the handsome white-shirted scholar saluting, it looks both solemn and solemn.
Standing under the Chijing Gate are the Yin Yin students, and those standing on the steps are the teachers.
Wearing formal ceremonial clothes, the doctor and teaching assistant are on one side, studying and recording, and the teaching station is on the other side, with long sleeves waving and tall crowns standing tall, giving a dignified and solemn ancient charm.
Look at your side again, you can see the scholars who are as black as beetles. On the podium, in addition to the mountain leader, there are teachers from all walks of life. The positions are also mixed, and there are even two teachers who are fighting there, saying it is chaotic.
What a mess!
The mountain leader, who was in full armor, raised his arms to speak, but was always interrupted by instructors dangling in front of him. Finally, he became furious, pulled up a flagpole as thick as an ocean bowl, swept it in front of him, and immediately opened his mouth and shouted:
"Lift the cauldron, break the wood, and enter the school!"
"..."
Seeing the team dispersed amidst the shouts and curses of the instructors, Chaitino was confused. Is this the end?
With the solemn opening ceremony organized like this, the martial arts school is worthy of being the base camp of rough martial arts!
Chai Tiannuo followed the team all the way to another place in a daze. During the process, he actually saw Bian Sheng and Shen Tu Zijin. The three of them waved to each other in surprise. They missed each other before they even had time to say hello. There were too many people.
"Say, why do you still need to take the exam?"
Chaitino couldn't help but curse. Even if he was very capable, he wouldn't want to be judged by others all day long. It would be too troublesome.
After all, he had studied the book of sages deeply. No matter how irritated Chai Tiannuo was, he always muttered to himself, "Other martial arts talents don't do this. They open their mouths to penetrate your mother and keep their mouths closed. This bandit's behavior immediately angered the instructors in the prison."
.
"Get on the stick and beat these turtles to death!"
A teacher with a local accent yelled, and soon after, water and fire sticks painted in red and white were seen flying all over the sky. The sound of falling sticks and wails came one after another, and from time to time, blood flew up.
After a while, the originally chaotic scene became quiet. Chai Tiannuo looked at the bloody martial arts scholars and smiled. It seemed that the habit of beating students was a tradition of the martial arts academy.
It is said that thanks to the large area of the martial arts school, there are more than ten schools alone, otherwise nearly ten thousand people would not be able to perform it.
"The small cauldron reaches the waist and abdomen, and the big wood can be cut with ten swords. Those who pass it will go to school, and those who fail will get out!"
Loud shouts of instruction came and went. Chaitino grinned, "Well, this test is quite simple."
