Chapter 78 Bow and Sword, Heavenly Policy and Snake
Luo Yuzhen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then lowered his voice and said:
"Brother Ji, aren't you being a little too arrogant?
Yang Xiu has already reached the second realm of Tongmai, and he always does things without considering the consequences, so we'd better keep a low profile."
During the horse riding and shooting test at Xishan Paddock, many candidates went deep into the fierce jungle to hunt ferocious beasts and monsters.
This is not without risk, and there will naturally be casualties.
The fundamental reason why the saint set up the martial arts competition was to give poor families a chance to enter the martial arts world and maintain the martial culture of the princes and nobles.
How can one climb to the peak of martial arts without going through the training of blood and fire?
Just like no matter how good the magic weapon is, it is just a piece of heavy dead iron without an attack, unable to show its due elegance.
In the present moment of life and death, the best way to sharpen one's own mind is.
Therefore, the next two tests are taken.
Hunting in the paddock and fighting in the ring all involve the possibility of bloodshed and death.
"The wolf cubs in the deep mountains and old forests have always held grudges.
Once it suffers a loss or is injured,
As long as you don't die, sooner or later you will come to take revenge."
Ji Yuan looked calm, held the sword in his right hand and took a step forward.
He knew Yang Xiu's temperament very well. This righteous son of the Liang Kingdom was like a hungry wolf in human skin, with a tyrannical and wild streak.
No matter whether you are retreating or trying to push the envelope.
This person will never give up!
Maybe this is the so-called natural conflict?
"Brother Ji's words make sense, we won't lose the formation if we lose!"
Luo Yuzhen also took a step forward and stood side by side with Ji Yuan.
Yang Xiu wore a black gold crown on his head and a red robe and soft armor.
The man was sitting on the horse, his eyes were like phosphorus or ghost fire, and he looked down at him from a high position:
"Ji Jiulang, I have been thinking of you all these days!
Long time no see, your martial arts seems to be improving again!"
Perhaps he was promoted to the second level of Tongmai, condensed the first energy channel, and made further progress in martial arts.
The ferocious arrogance of this righteous son of the Liang Kingdom has been much restrained, and he actually shows some calmness.
"I'm still in the first realm of admiration, but I can't compare to you who condensed my energy and reached the second realm.
However, it’s still the same sentence.
It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Yang Xiu, you have to find trouble again.
I happen to be free today and can send you to reincarnation!
Will the guards from the Duke's Mansion save you this time?"
Ji Yuan grinned and looked very kind.
In his conduct as a person and in his work, he has always treated others with respect to me and me to others.
vice versa!
From the moment he walked in, Yang Xiu stared directly at him.
That kind of naked malice is barely concealed.
Obviously, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two of them.
"Ji Jiulang, why are you so confident?"
Yang Xiu narrowed his eyes, a glimmer of evil light looming.
"I still remember the first time we met in the inner courtyard of the Martial Arts Hall.
At that time, I had achieved great success in internal refining, but you were still at the level of external refining, so you dared to bend your bow and shoot me!
Later, we met in a narrow alley. You were able to achieve the Dzogchen of Internal Refining, but I had already surrendered and cultivated my health. You did not hesitate to draw your sword and kill someone.
Now, I gather my energy and enter the second level of martial arts!
Ji Jiulang, this is a big difference.
Where did you get the courage to think you can fight me again?"
As if sensing the strong murderous intent in his master's chest, the red charcoal fire dragon pony under his crotch was restless, and his nostrils spurted out scorching breath.
The four hooves moved, and wisps of flames lingered, leaving scorch marks on the floor tiles of the government stables.
"What a wonderful dragon colt!"
"Back then, Duke Liang had a red-blooded dragon king horse, which was half-dragon's body. It soared into the sky, entered the clouds and descended into the sea, stepped on the sea of fire and crossed the mountain of swords, as if it were walking on flat ground!"
"This fire dragon colt should be of his bloodline!"
"What a treasure that is hard to find for money!"
The other generals and nobles from each branch were whispering to each other, and they stayed outside the government office to watch the show.
How many aristocratic families are there in the two cities inside and outside Tianjing?
Everyone wants to get ahead and become famous!
Friction and enmity between each other are inevitable.
It's just that Yang Xiu has a notorious reputation and is more provocative.
People who can beat him don't want to mess with him at all,
I really don't want to offend anyone who can't beat him.
It can be said that gods hate and ghosts hate!
Today a new face actually appeared that was diametrically opposed to him!
It’s really strange!
"Could this person be the top name in Tai'anfang's martial arts hall? Ji Yuan, Ji Jiulang?"
"Well, he is the only one who dares to compete with us for fame in the past twenty years!"
"I don't know whether I should say it's courageous or that I don't know whether to live or die..."
"Don't underestimate this person. He is tenth on the Beijing Capital Ranking and looks like an eagle! He has already made Yang Xiu suffer twice..."
"Heh, it doesn't look like anything special."
Many eyes rushed to look at the two people confronting each other in the official office.
They have different looks and different thoughts.
"Hahaha, Yang Xiu, thank you for having the nerve to say that!
Since my brother Ji, external refining can compete with internal refining, and internal refining can suppress subdued qi, then why can’t submissive qi kill Tongmai?"
Luo Yuzhen opened the jade fan with a snap and sneered.
Unfortunately, his words were not very confident and he lost some momentum.
After all, everyone knows that when fighting across borders, the weak will defeat the strong.
Easier said than done.
"It turns out to be Luo... Saburo!"
Yang Xiu glanced sideways at Luo Yuzhen. He was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that his eyes, which were like will-o'-the-wisps, were even colder.
“It’s rare to meet you today, so I would like to advise you, it’s best to stay away from Ping’er!
You are nothing but a playboy without your background, and you want Ping'er to look at you differently?
Next time I see you pestering Ping'er, I will tear your face off!"
Before he could even finish his words, the Qi and blood in Tongmai Second Realm were like a furnace, emitting billowing heat and sweeping across all directions.
Those candidates of the Jiangwu Hall who were at the level of internal refining and convinced, took a few steps back to avoid Yang Xiu's sharp edge.
Among the generals in Xishan Paddock, he has the highest level of martial arts. His energy, blood, and strength are so powerful that he arrogantly dominates the entire audience.
"Yang Xiu, I would like to advise you, today you take the Yangguan Road and I cross the single-plank bridge, and we can live in peace during the riding and shooting in the paddock.
But if you insist on provoking me, just play tricks on me.
Then between you and me... let's see who has more means!"
Ji Yuan moved sideways and stood in front of Luo Yuzhen calmly.
The hot breath hitting the face hits the body, like a raging wave crashing against the shore and washing away the rocks.
Not a step back!
At this time, Ji Yuan had eight lives and was practicing martial arts to great success.
Coupled with the long sword in his palm and the dragon horse under his crotch, he is at his peak state.
Lin Lu could kill with one Qi vein, but Yang Xiu couldn't?
With his thoughts flowing, he pressed his thumb against the blade and pushed it forward.
"Ji Jiulang, don't worry, we have agreed on life and death in the ring, so why be impatient.
In the Xishan paddock, everyone goes their own way."
Sensing Ji Yuan's decisive attitude, Yang Xiu restrained the strong impulse to take action here.
With a flick of the reins, the red charcoal fire dragon pony turned its horse's head and swaggered out of the government stables.
The tense atmosphere dissipated instantly.
The few officials in the government office who were responsible for welcoming him breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.
These generals and nobles all come from prominent backgrounds, and they are like little ancestors who cannot afford to offend them.
"Thank you, Brother Ji, for lending a helping hand."
Luo Yuzhen said with cupped hands.
"Even without me, Yang Xiu wouldn't dare to touch you.
He is a mad dog, but not a fool.
For offending such a royal relative like you, Duke Liang is afraid that he will skin him with his own hands!"
Ji Yuan turned around and looked at the white-haired old man who looked like a butler. His appearance was as old as a candle in the wind.
But that vague and dangerous aura was only stronger than Meng Changhe's.
Yang Xiu's harsh words were so harsh that they really hurt Luo Yuzhen's hair, and it was very likely that his life could not be saved.
"Hey!"
The Hu Lei Leopard, who was feasting on the food behind, slowly moved over, its eyes as big as copper bells blinking, staring at the red charcoal fire dragon colt walking out of the government office.
"What? You can't control yourself when you see a mare? You're a pervert!"
Ji Yuan patted the horns of Hu Lei Bao's head and cursed with a smile.
He had just glanced twice, and the fur of the red charcoal fire dragon pony looked like fine satin.
When walking, it looks like a raging fire, which is very eye-catching.
Among all the mares in the world, she would be considered the most beautiful one in the world.
"咴咴!"
The Hu Lei Leopard raised its front hooves and then ran around Ji Yuan twice.
"Don't worry, follow me, and sooner or later you will be able to choose from the most beautiful mares in the world."
Ji Yuan opened his mouth to draw the pie, touched the excited Hu Leibao, and whispered:
"But don't lose to that red charcoal fire dragon colt later. Otherwise, if people look down on you, why would they be willing to follow you?"
The Hu Leibao nodded repeatedly, its long horse face showing a humanized expression of excitement.
The four hooves, which are made of fine iron, are digging the soil hard, as if they can't wait to show off their glory.
Luo Yuzhen next to him looked helpless for a while, that was the beloved horse of Yang Guo, the son of Duke Liang.
He has both dragon blood and spiritual energy.
He is usually kept at a private horse farm and is reluctant to ride it himself.
If he were abducted by the Hu Lei Bao and his body was dirty, Yang Que would probably be so angry that he would vomit three liters of blood.
…
…
After one stick of incense, it was not even half-way through.
All the candidates from the martial arts hall in the outer city's Twelve Squares had arrived, the rosters were counted, and everyone was taken to a spacious school grounds with a wide view.
The children of those aristocratic families gathered together according to different martial arts halls. Only Ji Yuan and Yang Xiu stood separately, which looked quite eye-catching.
Because of the turmoil surrounding the archery test at the school, a large number of candidates from Tai'anfang passed away, and the number was the smallest.
The remaining few were neither willing to follow Yang Xiu nor get close to Ji Yuan.
"I don't know what's there to be proud of?
Push forward a dozen years, and among all the distinguished officials in the dynasty, who is not an ordinary person wallowing in the mud?
My surname is Luo, who is reluctantly associated with a saint and does not maintain his identity. They have the nerve to act like they are ashamed to be in the company of Brother Ji.
No wonder my second brother said that the less knowledgeable he is, the more he values his own and other people's backgrounds, and wishes he could talk about the fact that his ancestors were high officials every day."
Luo Yuzhen occupied a nearby hilltop early and looked down, with a look of contempt in his eyes.
"When you climb a little higher, you tend to think highly of yourself and are unwilling to be equated with the common people. This is also human nature."
The white-haired old man who looked like a butler drooped his eyelids and said with a smile.
Not long after, he suddenly opened his cloudy eyes, and two groups of terrifying light erupted.
His face looked a little solemn and he said softly:
"Master, people are here!
It's Tiance Guard! Gao Yexuan, Gao Da Commander leads the team!
It is rumored that he is the most promising talent among military strategists in recent years to reach the realm of Grand Master!"
Boom!
Before the white-haired old man finished speaking, the ground shook violently like a blanket, raising large amounts of smoke and dust.
Amazing movement, majestic blood, and the fiercely waving flag of the snake!
All represent their identity!
One of the Seventeenth Guards of Great Scenery!
Tiancewei!
I saw a torrent of steel moving in a line to the east of the school grounds.
There are three thousand red-armored elf cavalry galloping like thunder, with a power that shakes the heaven and the earth.
Especially the big snake flag, its momentum is like a heavy mountain.
Every time you dance and swagger, you will tear apart a large air wave!
The waves are rolling in the sky, the wind and clouds are changing, and a huge shadow is vaguely condensed.
With two wings on its back, it can fly without legs, and its pupils are like big lamps, illuminating the darkness!
This is an ancient ferocious beast, a snake!
"Teng She Banner, Tiance Guard, is Gao Yexuan, the tall commander!"
Someone among the candidates who were gathered together shouted.
Accompanied by the tall and burly general carrying the banner, who came on horseback, a tall man sitting as tall as a mountain and unmoving appeared.
This man rides a black dragon horse with two horns on its head, wears purple and gold chain mail, a flame-patterned war robe, has thick black eyebrows, eyes like paint, and a bronze complexion, giving people a sense of boundless strength.
When he reined in his horse and stopped, the menacing red-armored knight immediately stopped moving forward.
The huge rumbling sound like thunder suddenly subsided silently.
The sudden change between extreme movement and extreme stillness shocked all the candidates.
This is the tiger and wolf army of Jing Dynasty that suppressed the nine sides, subdued the four sides, and stood in the center!
No matter how arrogant the general is, he becomes extremely calm in the face of such a majestic military force.
After all, the commanders in charge of Yiwei Jingqi are all warriors of the four realms of Zhen Gang Qi Hai.
Not to mention his high martial arts and strong martial arts, his personal status is also extraordinary.
Even the Ministry of War and the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies have no power to exercise control unless they hold the Tiger Talisman.
"Is everyone here?"
Gao Yexuan turned over and dismounted. His nine-foot-tall body seemed to be standing tall against the sky and the earth.
The aura of terror filled the school grounds and penetrated everywhere.
Like an invisible big hand, it tightly grasps the hearts of all candidates, which is extremely uncomfortable.
"The great master who opened up the sea of qi and condensed the true power!"
Ji Yuan took a deep breath and looked as usual.
The tiger's roaring golden bell inside the body started to move involuntarily, and the whole body glowed with a faint golden color, resisting this powerful momentum.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the roll call has been completed and no one is absent."
The clerk's legs were trembling, and he presented the roster with both hands.
"Well.
Each person has an iron bow, ten bags of golden arrows, and a whistle.
The hunting range is within three hundred miles of the school grounds.
The requirement is twenty ferocious beasts, or one demon or demon species in the submissive realm."
Gao Yexuan glanced at the roster with cold eyes.
"If you are in danger, you can send out a whistle and have your cavalry go to the rescue.
Of course, this move will be regarded as a waiver and the reference qualification will be immediately cancelled.”
After Gao Yexuan finished speaking, he raised his right arm and waved it forward.
Like statues, the red-armored knights separated like the tide, with three in a team and five in a team, pouring into the vast mountains like lightning.
Countless birds were frightened!
“Chasing is hunting, killing is hunting!
You are all talented and talented people in our great scenery, and you should always keep the word "martial arts" in your hearts!
You must not lose your blood and your courage!"
Everyone shouted in unison:
"Big hunt! Big hunt!"
There was intense jubilation on the school grounds, and young people were enthusiastic and agreed one after another.
