Following the middle-aged man with a scarred face, Yang Ji passed through the sword furnaces with billowing air and smoke and fire, and walked through the huge and deep square. In the deepest part of Zhujian Villa, Yang Ji saw a high wall.
This is a high black iron wall carved with flowers, vines, and leaves. It is made of metal and is over thirty feet tall, higher than the surrounding high walls.
The high wall runs from east to west, isolating all heat waves and smoke.
"Roa!"
Amidst the rumbling sound of steel, a huge inner door opened, and Yang Ji finally followed the scar-faced middle-aged man into the inner door of Dishan Huo Manor.
"His!"
As soon as Yang Ji crossed the threshold under the white mist, he felt a chill all over his body and a wave of cold air hit his face.
“So comfortable.”
Yang Ji's whole body trembled. This feeling was like going from the scorching heat to the cold autumn and winter. The contrast was so great that Yang Ji even doubted whether he had really experienced the intense heat just now.
Yang Ji opened his eyes curiously and saw a huge courtyard at a glance. Surrounded by high walls were towering ancient trees that grew particularly lush.
These ancient trees have been specially pruned and look very clean. Yang Ji even saw birds making nests on them. Moving forward, at the four corners of the yard, there were four huge transparent trees half the size of a house.
Crystal jar.
In the crystal jar, white mist filled the room.
Yang Ji had only seen four huge transparent jellyfish that looked like water blocks lying in the crystal tank like bubbles.
The body of this jellyfish, which is almost as big as a water tank, is as shiny as ice. Its huge body shrinks and expands, and it keeps spitting out cold air.
The refreshing cold air that Yang Ji felt when he entered the inner door was caused by these four jellyfish.
"Deep sea ice jellyfish?"
Yang Ji looked at these four magnificent marine creatures and was amazed.
"So we know the young master?"
The middle-aged man with a scarred face turned around and looked at Yang Ji with a surprised look on his face. People came and went here, and everyone who came in was surprised by these four deep-sea creatures.
These things are so rare that even families who have been fishing at sea for many years rarely encounter them, let alone other people.
This is the first time that someone has recognized these four jellyfish at a glance.
"I read a lot of books, and I occasionally dabbled in them before."
Yang Ji smiled lightly and didn't say much.
"Haha, that's it. Come with me."
He waved his hand and continued to move forward.
Compared with the outer gate, the inner gate of Dihuoshan Manor is completely different from that of two aristocratic families. The outer gate is filled with hot waves and unstoppable heat. It is completely a family of steel and flames.
Inside the inner gate, there is a quiet, cool place with lush trees.
Ahead of the courtyard, there are ancient-style buildings with flying masts and brackets, which are magnificent and majestic. Every corridor and pillar is guarded by fully armed imperial soldiers, with a strict and strict style, and the style of a big family.
"Yes, this is what the Sword Forging Villa looks like."
Yang Ji looked around and nodded in his mind.
Although Dihuoshan Manor does not have as many masters as other aristocratic families, nor does it have as many martial masters and martial saints serving as officials in the imperial court, it still has a transcendent status in the Han Dynasty by virtue of its accumulated contributions over hundreds of years.
What he saw outside was just the place where they worked. Now is what this Sword Forging Villa really looks like.
"Squeak!"
Entering from the courtyard, you pass through a gate with vermilion copper rivets, and inside is the inner house of Zhujian Villa. When Yang Ji entered, the gate of the inner house was bustling with people who came to ask Zhujian Villa to create a bronze blood magic weapon.
crowd.
"So many masters!"
As soon as Yang Ji entered, he narrowed his eyes and felt a strong aura:
"The generals, the Martial Sect, the Great Martial Sect, and even the Martial Lord!..."
Yang Ji looked at the front of the crowd, where an old man with silver hair stood out like a chicken. This old man was tall and thin, with his hands behind his back and his eyes half-closed, as if he was recuperating.
However, the area within a few feet was deserted. No one dared to approach him.
The martial master's aura is too strong, just like molten gold water, pure and scorching. Not any warrior can bear this kind of scorching sun-like aura.
"It turned out to be for his master."
Yang Ji glanced around and quickly noticed a handsome young man of 17 or 18 years old next to the old man. In this young man, Yang Ji felt a strong sense of military style.
His waist was straight, stuck there like a spear, motionless. Yang Ji had experienced the same style from Wang Xian, but the one in front of him was much stronger than Wang Xian.
Yang Ji recalled the "Secret Book" and quickly recognized that he was from a military family named Lu from the northwest sects. The military family had a lot of savings and logically should not appear here.
However, Yang Ji thought about it for a moment and immediately understood. Although there were many magical weapons in these military families, there were not necessarily any magical weapons suitable for the children of this military family.
The more powerful the blood magic weapon is, the better. If it is too powerful, it cannot be used at all, just like a baby picking up a heavy hammer.
It’s best to have the magic weapon handy.
The martial-level old man clearly brought the younger members of his family to the Huoshan Manor to customize the magical weapon.
"It's really weird. All kinds of monsters and monsters are here."
"Hmph, horses don't even know how long their faces are, let alone humans."
"Huh, the martial arts examination is coming soon. I think there are so many people coming here, so what's so strange about it?"
"Let him go around. He won't go back unless he gives up."
…
Yang Ji's arrival quickly attracted the attention of many people in the back row. Everyone looked at Yang Ji with unfavorable expressions.
"It's the boy, why did he get in?"
Among the crowd, a young man in light fur and rich clothes reacted the most violently. When he saw Yang Ji suddenly appearing here, his eyes widened, as if he had been slapped.
The gate of Dishan Manor is getting harder and harder to enter now, and there are fewer and fewer people refining blood magic weapons. Ordinary people can't get in at all.
Their family spent a lot of effort to get a spot. How did this kid get in?
"meet again?"
Yang Ji smiled slightly and shook his head and said hello. He saw that the faces of this rich man from Cangyun County and the four guards around him became very ugly. They all stepped back and deliberately opened their eyes to Yang Ji.
He seems to be far away and doesn't want to have anything to do with him.
There are many noble families who have entered the inner sect. In comparison, the wealthy families in places like Cangyun County are much inferior. A few hours have passed, and Yang Ji has not expected that they are still here.
"Sir, please wait here for now. The owner of the village will inform you later when he sees you."
A middle-aged man with a scarred face said in his ears.
"Well, I'm done."
Yang Ji nodded slightly to express his understanding.
Yang Ji's arrival caused a small stir. This kind of person with no identity is obviously incompatible with this place.
Yang Ji took a look and found that everyone seemed to have deliberately distanced themselves from him and did not want to have anything to do with him. A disciple from an aristocratic family even did not hide the contempt and disdain in his eyes.
Phoenix disdains being in the same company as a pheasant. In the eyes of noble disciples from these aristocratic families with complex backgrounds, Yang Ji is just like a pheasant.
"It's really unpleasant..."
Yang Ji smiled and shook his head, just treating it as a mosquito bite and not paying attention.
The martial arts examination has not yet begun, and Yang Ji does not want to have unnecessary conflicts with these aristocratic families, wealthy families, and nobles before the martial arts examination officially begins.
After a quick glance, Yang Ji quickly found a large red lacquer pillar that the two of them hugged, and lay down, leaning on it, motionless.
His expression was calm, but his mind was full of thoughts, and he was passing through many thoughts while looking at the crowd in front of him.
In this time's martial arts examination, the goals of noble families, noble families, and nobles are very clear, which is to be loyal to the Marquis of Wu. They don't care much about the merit of the martial arts examiner.
Wealthy families, large aristocratic families, and most nobles have their own connections. Even if they can't get a martial arts candidate, the connections in the family can help them rise step by step, and they will always have a chance to stand out.
In aristocratic families, nobles always consider the interests of the entire family, rather than personal gains and losses. Personal interests are subordinated to the interests of the family, so as long as someone in the court is at a high level, it doesn't really matter whether the disciples at the bottom take the martial arts exam or not.
There are even times when some disciples from aristocratic families with outstanding abilities can easily win the martial arts examination and win the title of martial arts scholar or martial arts examiner, but they choose not to participate.
The reason is that once you pass the examination of Wu Xiucai, Wu Juren, or even Wu Jinshi, and get a title from the court and become a general, you will be controlled by the court, and you will have far less freedom of movement, and you will not be able to go to many places.
The simplest example is that when Yang Xuanlan was guarding Langya County, he could not leave the local city at all, otherwise he would be leaving without authorization.
And this conflicts with the interests of the family!
From the perspective of the interests of aristocratic families and nobles, they will not be allowed to participate in the martial arts examination. Instead, they will be transferred to where they are needed to assist important members of the family and enhance their own strength.
In other words, the fame of martial arts practitioners is far less important to them than to ordinary people.
These secrets were all told to him by Ouyang Zishi. If he hadn't mentioned them, Yang Ji wouldn't have known that there were so many sects in the aristocratic family.
This is also the reason why those nobles and aristocratic families don't look down on martial arts talents like myself.
However, no matter what they think, Yang Ji's goal has been clear from beginning to end, and that is to gain fame as a martial artist. This is a dragon gate. As long as you jump over this dragon gate, the broadest world will be waiting for you in the future.
And in this process, no one can block his path. No matter whether it is a distinguished person or a noble family!
"Just wait a little longer..."
Yang Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and leaned against the pillar, motionless.
There were many people inside and outside the house, and due to the reputation of Dishan Manor, no one was making trouble here. Nobles and nobles from every family were constantly coming in and out, and they would leave as soon as the conversation was over.
"The situation is not good."
Yang Ji observed silently and frowned slightly. r1152
