Only four or five days after the conscription order was issued, heroes began to gather in Guanlong, Sanhe, and Nanyang areas to the east, and more and more, from south to north, the north bank of Luoshui River was fine, and the security level of Henan County on the south bank was almost straight.
Falling down, the Jingjie Tigers have suffered eight bad lucks in their lives. They have never seen such masters of spiritual practice and young men get together in their lives.
The former cannot be beaten, and the latter is life-threatening.
Not to mention the street-cleaning tigers, the Jinwu Guards, who traveled in groups of at least twenty-five people in armor at night, encountered several troubles, and even let these people slip through the wall and lost their temper.
As for the local gangs in Dongdu that just took a breather after the fall, it is not a question of whether they are unlucky or not, but a major change of blood.
Then, at this moment, the simplest and most core list of Heaven, Earth, People, Women, and Talents was released in time.
"Although I can show my head now, I still don't go out much these days."
In the evening, under the flickering candlelight in the main room, Zhang Xing, who had finished his meal and was about to drink tea and read a book to digest his food, suddenly remembered the situation and explained, "The streets are not peaceful."
"I know." Yueniang, who was eating rice with her head down, was still as straightforward as ever.
"Isn't that true?" Qin Bao, who was also cooking rice, was a bit disapproving. "This is Chengfufang, north of Luoshui. To the north is Jing'an Terrace, and to the west is the Chengfu Gate of Ziwei Palace. Who dares to
Come here to run wild?"
"There are so many lunatics in the world. When these five lists come out, it will inevitably cause commotion among people in the world. If you drink a few more drinks, you might even dare to rush into the Black Tower." Zhang Xing shook his head repeatedly. "In any case, be careful."
"I know." Yueniang raised her head and responded, ending the argument.
But after a moment, Yueniang raised her head again.
"What?" Zhang Xing asked, holding a tea cup.
"Drink less ice tea, as the cold air will enter the body and be bad for the stomach." Yueniang reminded seriously.
"My coldness comes from my stomach." Zhang Xing put down the book and was speechless. "This is a kind of spiritual practice. If you don't understand, just ignore it."
Yueniang curled her lips slightly, lowered her head to take two mouthfuls of food, then raised her head again, but said nothing.
"What on earth?" Zhang Xing pressed the book and became more and more impatient.
"Is it true that the number one on the women's list and the second on the heaven's list is true, Our Lady of Nanling?" Yueniang asked with her eyes widened. "I thought Bai Xinxuan could be ranked first, but it turned out that he was only fifth... There is really a woman
The great master?"
"It's true." Of course it doesn't hurt to satisfy the child's curiosity, Zhang Xing nodded immediately. "And everyone guessed, in fact, this Nanling Holy Mother is probably more powerful than Uncle Cao, but it is impossible to bully others and leave Nanling.
She had a fight with Emperor Cao here in Dongdu, so she was ranked second on the Heavenly Ranking... In the same way, the Governor of Dongyi who was eleventh on the Heavenly Ranking also bullied others into not coming over. In fact, he was probably the former
Four."
"There are only eleven great masters in the world." Qin Bao said to Yueniang from the side. "There are big forces behind the scenes that can break bones and connect tendons. Unless the conflict between the forces reaches the point of life and death, otherwise they will probably never meet each other in their lifetime.
Even if there is a real fight, we don't know the outcome. The top eleven land gods are actually randomly ranked by us based on their status and closeness... People are real, things are real, don't take the ranking seriously."
"So, what happened to Wu Xinghua, who is the fourth most popular woman on the list, should be true, right?" Yueniang nodded, then asked again seriously while holding a bowl. "My father, uncle, elder brother, and younger brother were all killed by the village opposite. She
He led more than 300 people in the stockade to escape, spent ten years rebuilding the stockade, and another ten years to grow it. Finally, he succeeded in condensing the elixir, defeated his enemies, avenged himself, and became the hereditary leader of Wuzhou in Southwest Xinjiang.
The prefect, but also..."
"It's true." Zhang Xing nodded and interrupted the other party, replying seriously. "But if you dare to mention revenge again, get out of this yard immediately... I can't support you here."
Yueniang nodded expressionlessly, shut up, lowered her head, and ate rice in a muffled voice. Qin Bao also kept his mouth shut.
Two people ate, one person drank tea and read a book, and the main room was quiet for a while.
But not long after, Yueniang had only eaten less than half of her bowl of rice covered with scrambled eggs. Suddenly, there was a plop in the backyard, and something seemed to fall to the ground. Then came the yellow gelding, the half-large dragon colt with knobs and spots, and another one later.
The mules that Zhang Xing had embezzled from Taolinyi began to neigh together.
Zhang Xing and Qin Bao looked up together, confused for a moment, but after all, they were well-trained patrolmen in brocade. Soon, as Zhang Xing waved his hand, Qin Bao immediately ran out with his knife, but instead of going to the backyard, he
Going to the side room with the door open, Zhang Xing also hid Qin Bao's bowls and chopsticks under the table and covered them with books.
Yueniang glanced at Qin Bao who was walking out, but continued to eat with her head down.
Sure enough, after a while, I heard the sound of footsteps running from the back to the front of the house. Suddenly, someone roared in the courtyard directly in front of the main room.
Low:
"The 300th person on the list, where is Qin Bao, the Thunder Hand? Hong Changya of Taiyuan, the Breaking Wave Sword, is here!"
Through the light, Zhang Xing clearly saw that a strong man carrying a knife with an eyebrow as high as a person appeared in his courtyard. After shouting a question, he actually waved the knife and made a beautiful sword dance with ease.
, pointing at himself inside the room.
The momentum is extremely majestic.
However, despite the fact that Rao was a living person and had such a big sword right now, Zhang Xing remained silent. It was a bit difficult for him to accept this reality.
Qin Bao hid in the side room without any movement. He didn't know whether he was waiting for the opportunity, or he was frightened by the roar and the knife like Zhang Xing.
Yueniang, on the other hand, continued to eat rice with her head down.
After a while, when the strong man saw that there was no movement from the people in the room, he summoned his true energy, pointed the long knife on the ground again, smashed the green bricks on the ground, and then asked again:
"Run away but not run away, fight but not fight. What do you mean?"
Zhang Xing came back to his senses and took the initiative to stand up and hand over his hands: "My dear Qin Bao, I have met Brother Hong and admired the name of Taiyuan Breaking Wave Sword for a long time. Brother unknown came to visit me, but I was disappointed because the hall was narrow and cramped, and there were only two of me, my brother and my sister.
If you want to make Brother Hong laugh, why don't you stay in the house for a while, and I will come and serve you a cup of tea myself."
Yueniang started coughing in the middle of the cough, and her face turned red. She finally managed to stop herself, but she ran away like flying with her job in hand.
Hong Changya was quite honest. He didn't even look at Yueniang who had escaped, but he didn't enter the house either. Instead, he dealt with her seriously in the courtyard: "Qin Erlang, I saw you today and you seemed sincere. Why did you do this?"
Where is the golden dog?"
Zhang Xing was not embarrassed at all, he just spread his hands in the room: "My family is poor and we have no food to eat. I and a few old relatives have to support me in my hometown. It is rare for me to eat royal food, which is good. Brother Hong, what on earth do you want to see me here?"
?According to Brother Hong’s reputation, if there are requirements, I will do my best.”
When Hong Changya heard this, he finally said: "I don't think you, Ben Lei Shou, are also a filial son, but it seems that I am too pushy... In fact, I don't want to hide it from you, Qin Erlang, I came here recently with some brothers from Taiyuan.
We all saw the recruitment was bustling, but we didn’t want to happen to see the announcement of the results. I saw that you, a person who has only opened seven channels of the Zheng meridians, was also on the list. I couldn’t help but feel a little unhappy, so I wanted to come and see what you are capable of.”
"I understand, does Brother Hong think that just because he beats me, he can be on the list?" Zhang Xing stood in the distance, looking as if he was in a daze.
"Isn't that so?" Hong Changya sneered.
"Yes and no." Zhang Xing opened his hands in response. "Brother Hong, you came to my house in the dark, who would know if you defeated me? Even if you want to step on me, you should go to the gate of Jing'an Terrace to invite a fight openly and openly.
Everyone in the world knows the outcome of this battle... At the very least, we should invite a few famous elders and seniors to witness it."
Hong Changya was slightly stunned, but it was difficult to refute.
"Also, I would venture to ask, what kind of cultivation level does Brother Hong have?" Zhang Xing asked sincerely.
"I'm not going to hide it from you, I now have all the twelve main meridians and am on my way to the eight extraordinary meridians." Hong Changya was quite proud. "That's why I'm dissatisfied with you being on the list."
But Zhang Xing just smiled bitterly: "That's what I guessed, Brother Hong, you are wrong... I am also from Jing'antai, and I can tell you clearly that if this is the case, you defeated me in broad daylight.
I'm afraid I won't be on the list. On the contrary, if I can support you with three moves, I might even have to climb higher and surpass my colleague, who will do his best to fight Sanlang Zhang Xing."
"Why is this so?" Hong Changya was puzzled immediately, but suddenly realized something. "Isn't the ranking based on the success or failure of practice?"
"Brother Hong hit the nail on the head." Zhang Xing took half a step forward and responded seriously. "For example, in the Tian'an Ranking, the first eleven are Grand Masters, and the next twenty-five are Grand Masters. At this time, suddenly one of the people who was not on the list was promoted.
He became the Grand Master, but instead of arguing with the top 11 people, he went to find the 36th Duke Niu. Will people in the world laugh at him, or will they praise him? The Earth Ranking and the Human Ranking are similar.
It is divided into two groups: elixir and condensed elixir; there are one hundred and fifty masters of the eight extraordinary meridians and one hundred and fifty masters of the normal meridians..."
Hearing this, Hong Changya completely woke up and stomped on the ground: "So, I should go find the 150th person... But that person is in Dongyi, and she is still a woman.
!”
"Then let's look higher up." Zhang Xinghe said with an angry smile. "If you can't find it below, just look for the masters above. There are at least thirty masters at the Eight Meridians level in the Eastern Capital..."
"Can the masters above win?" Hong Changya shook his head repeatedly.
"That's not the case." Zhang Xing still persuaded sincerely in front of the seat, not daring to take half a step away from the knife. "Brother Hong, listen to me... let me say something unpleasant first. If we really talk about cultivation and combat power, there are three hundred people on the list.
There are already some Chengdan masters who have not made the list before. Why not set up a special list for those who are at a high level? It is because they either have outstanding achievements, or have integrity, benevolence, magnanimity, and courage.
At first glance, they are called heroes. They are able to do things that ordinary people cannot do and others cannot achieve... Just like what I said just now, Brother Hong challenges me, Qin Bao. Regardless of victory or defeat, it is Brother Hong who will spread the word.
Everyone in the world laughs, but as long as I can hold on to three moves, that will be my record, and I will continue to improve. Even if Brother Hong's reputation is greater, as long as I dare to challenge and lose in one move, it may not be possible.
Get off the list."
At this point, Zhang Xing amplified his voice and said like thunder: "In the final analysis, the list is about reputation! Not cultivation!"
"That makes sense. If you challenge a challenge, you must face the difficulties. This matter is all about reputation." Hong Changya stood in the courtyard, thoughtful, then realized, but he slightly arched his hands toward the house. "So.
, It’s me, Meng Lang, today. I shouldn’t have come to look for an honest man like Qin Erlang... When I go to Tian Street tomorrow, I will look for a master of the rankings. I will fight openly and justly. As long as I escape unscathed, I can let the world know.
I, Hong Changya, am also the number one person in Dongdu... Then, come and have a drink with Qin Erlang again."
With that said, the man gathered his true energy, stepped on the wall of the side courtyard, jumped with a long, pointed knife, and easily crossed the wall. Then there was another sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and the sound of footsteps walking away.
During the whole process, Zhang Xing just stood up straight first, and then bent his arms to the bottom, but did not move at all.
It wasn't until the footsteps completely disappeared that he followed Qin Bao and Yueniang back to the main room, sat back, and then continued to drink tea and read.
After a night of silence, Zhang Xing got up early the next day. Thinking of the man's effortless climb over the wall yesterday, he got a little inspiration, so he simply meditated in the courtyard and tried to stimulate the eighth main pulse.
, when the results of one or two points came out, it was already three o'clock in the morning, but he knew that Bai Yousi was not in a hurry to go to the courtyard. He actually washed up again, ate slowly, and then went to Jing'an with a tea cup.
He walked away from the stage.
After crossing the bridge, going to the island, and heading towards the small courtyard, I saw a group of people gathering here from a distance, chatting and fishing. They also didn't bother to pay attention. Since Zhang Xing came over, Bai Yousi came over more frequently. Naturally,
Other idlers were attracted to come over, and there were tea and couches in the courtyard, as well as servants and pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Naturally, the number of people gradually increased.
However, this time, Zhang Xing came from a distance and heard what news was being said from a distance, so he curiously pricked up his ears and eavesdropped from behind.
"Is that guy crazy?"
"Who says it's not the case? A bastard from Taiyuan who has perfected the right meridians and has just touched the Eight Extraordinary Meridians dared to run to Tianjie to stop Captain Zhao of the Jinwu Guard and challenge him in the street."
"Sure enough, you are crazy. Captain Zhao is the third-ranked master on the human list. He is nicknamed Moyun Golden Winged Dapeng. Although he is only in the stage of opening channels, he is brave and fierce. Before joining the army, he was able to fight bears. After joining the army, he was full of glory.
Zhenqi fought steadily. When he first conquered Dongyi, he was wearing three armors and stabbing twenty-six arrows, but he jumped up from the city wall, pulled the enemy general from the city wall, and brought the army back to the formation.
Before, Zhang Zhuguo took off his clothes on the spot and was greatly impressed. A year ago, he was watching the sunset on the stern of the boat when he was going down the river. He let out a long roar that lasted for three seconds, and he rushed through the two channels of Ren and Du. Now he only
It takes time to polish it, and it is time to condense the energy into elixir... It is said that the recruitment of the army has been planned in advance, and it looks like he will be a general. He is from a humble family... It is really amazing!"
"It's not a rumor, it's true... an acquaintance in the Ministry of War said that after he reached the third place on the list, our Zhongcheng directly promoted him and appointed the newly appointed second Ying Yang Zhonglang on the left wing of the Changshui Army. This is
Entering the house."
"I think that for such a person, with such qualifications and abilities, why has he become General Ying Yang now?"
"Common people from a poor family... I usually get compliments, but when it's time to be promoted, don't you have to do it based on family status? On the contrary, this time I was ranked third on the list. Comparing the top and bottom, this heroic spirit
Even if you can't cover it up, wouldn't it hurt everyone's feelings if the imperial court doesn't promote him?"
"So, this ranking... and this career economy...?"
"I may not dare to say anything necessarily related, but hasn't reputation been a part of official career since ancient times?"
"Yes, yes, it is common sense to become an official because of your reputation. Moreover, our name refers to our ability. If you are famous and keep your name, it means that your ability is not fake. It is natural that you have a reputation and are real."
To be able to match up with someone from the same family...it's really...it's really..."
"You guys have been talking for a long time, what will happen to that bastard from Taiyuan?"
Zhang Xing listened for a long time, feeling itchy and unbearable, so he finally came over with herbal tea.
A group of patrolmen were gradually fishing in the small courtyard, together with the clerks of this courtyard. The servants turned around in surprise and saw that the real owner had arrived, but they all laughed:
"Brother Zhang."
"Sanlang came early today..."
"Zhang Sanlang looks good today."
"I've seen all of you in the same group." Zhang Xing raised his cup and asked again quickly. "You just mentioned the man who challenged Moyun Dapeng yesterday. What happened to him?"
"What can I do? Captain Zhao picked up a butcher's knife from a roadside meat stall, used his true energy to cut off the guy's brow tip with one move, then threw away the butcher's knife and held it down on Tianjie
He beat him on the rocks and his face. After beating him, the street tiger cleaners also arrived. He tied him up again and beat him with a scabbard along the way. In the morning, he threw him into the black tower."
Zhang Xing was dumbfounded and quickly turned back to look at the Black Tower. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned back, he was stunned again. In his field of vision, under the blue sky and white sun, there were clearly several streams of light, flying from outside the island, and then rushing directly towards the Black Tower.
, and then there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping around, noisy shouting.
Many other fishing patrols were also stunned on the spot. Even if they were killed, they would not believe that this group of heroes really dared to attack the tower.
Compared with that, the Taiyuan hero just now seems to be nothing.
