Chapter 34 Why use a spear if a shot can stab to death?
After walking through the royal road, we came to Chengtian Gate, where three tall horses all dressed in white and without any other colors had been prepared.
The three horses were all clad in red and decorated with colorful decorations. They were followed by many government servants, holding fans and umbrellas. Some of them were holding gongs and drums. After Lin Nuo and the others got on the horses, the sound of drum music suddenly came to mind, and the whole scene suddenly came to mind.
It became lively.
By the time they rode on horseback to Chang'an Street, both sides of the street were already crowded with men, women and children. Today was a happy day that only happened in three years. Even some girls who had not yet left the government would sneak out to take a look at the new candidates.
, is there anyone you like?
At this moment, Lin Nuo felt like he was a giant panda of later generations, being watched by countless spectators and tourists. This was a feeling that he had never experienced before in his two lives. Apart from being a little uncomfortable at first, in the end, he actually felt vaguely happy.
The feeling of hearing a burst of cheers wherever you look is really refreshing. It's no wonder that so many people in later generations like to be celebrities. In addition to the quick money, this feeling of being answered by a hundred people is also the reason.
One of them.
Most people in the world admire young people, especially the people in the top three this time. They don't look very old. Compared with some of the Jinshi who are in their forties or fifties behind them, they look very pleasing to the eye.
Among the new scholars this time, the most eye-catching one is not Kang Hai, the new champion, but Lin Nuo, the prodigy. There is no way, among the Jinshi with good facial features and official authority, Lin Nuo's appearance is indeed the most outstanding.
of.
"Hey, have you heard? Our man who is the most beautiful man was originally selected to be the number one scholar based on his talent and learning, but because he is so good-looking, he was selected as the most beautiful man!" There was a well-informed person in the crowd.
He whispered mysteriously.
"Ah? Is there such a reason? It's such a pity for Tan Hua Lang, because he was delayed by his appearance!"
"This is normal. The best-looking men in the imperial examinations throughout the dynasties have always been the best-looking ones. There's nothing surprising about that!"
Although these whispers were not loud, Lin Nuo still heard them clearly with his ears. At that moment, he patted the petals that were constantly falling on his body and couldn't help but smile.
Is our talent delayed by our appearance?
Riding around on horseback, worshiping temples, offering incense, visiting adults from various departments, and then an even grander Qionglin Banquet!
After a lot of fussing, it didn't end until the third watch.
Even though Lin Nuo had profound internal skills, as a Tanhua Lang, he also drank a lot of wine. Although he was not very drunk, the smell of alcohol could be smelled from a long distance away.
The inn where Lin Nuo was staying was still brightly lit. From the innkeeper to the clerks in the shop, no one had a rest. It was not until Lin Nuo came back and fetched water for him to wash up, and after seeing him enter the room to rest, that one by one
Relax.
It is a huge honor to live in one's own inn. If nothing happens, the room where Lin Nuo stays will be converted into a room for visiting flowers in the future. It will definitely become the room that countless candidates will compete for in the future.
"Our flower hunter has no talent or good looks. I don't know which girl in the future will be lucky enough to marry such a person who is like an immortal." A waiter in the store said with emotion.
"Let me tell you, Mr. Lin, even marrying a princess is enough. It's a pity that our Ming Dynasty does not have the number one scholar, Princess Tanhuashang, otherwise she might really be called by the Holy Emperor to be the consort!"
"Shh, shut up, don't you know that Madam Tanhua is here too? If Madam finds out, she will have to pull out your tongue!"
"Tanhualang is a star in the sky and has descended to earth. How can we talk nonsense about his marriage?" Seeing that the topic was a little skewed, the shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Everyone has been tired for a day. Go to bed early. Tomorrow will probably be very busy.
Busy!"
.......
Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but they will never forget their fame.
Fame, fame and wealth are intoxicating and very tempting indeed. If Lin Nuo hadn't been more interested in practicing martial arts, he would have drifted with the tide, like most scholars in the Ming Dynasty, drifting up and down the official career.
Early the next morning, Lin Nuo, Xiu'er and others paid their bills and left the inn, took a carriage and arrived at a courtyard on the eastern outskirts of the capital.
The courtyard is not big, but it is enough for martial arts training. Lin Nuo will need to stay in the capital for a while before being awarded a formal official position, so Xiu'er bought a property here a few days in advance.
It can be said that I have barely settled into a home in this capital city.
Lin Nuo never asked how much money Xiu'er had, and Xiu'er never said anything.
But come to think of it, Xiu'er's family is the descendant of Mojin Xiaowei. Even Xiu'er's family can get the magic secrets that have been lost in the world by going to the tomb. It is estimated that many of the so-called gold and silver treasures have long been ignored by them.
Are you on board?
In the courtyard, a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old was practicing martial arts, and Lin Nuo, who was wearing a white gown, was holding a wooden sword and pointing from time to time.
This young man was none other than Zhu Houzhao. On the second day after Lin Nuo moved into this courtyard, he came over and started learning marksmanship from Lin Nuo.
"The top is flat, the shoulders are flat, the spear is flat, the feet are flat, and the body is flat!"
Suddenly, Lin Nuo kicked the young man in the thigh, causing the young man to stumble and almost fall to the ground.
"I don't care what your identity is, but since you call me Master Lin and practice martial arts with me, I will strictly demand you. If you fail to meet the requirements, I will take punitive measures!"
"Yes, Master Lin!"
Zhu Houzhao stood up straight again obediently, holding the spear in his hand, and thrust forward again and again seriously.
"Master Lin, I used to learn some marksmanship from the marksman masters. The guns in the hands of those teachers danced and made shadows everywhere. They looked very powerful. I..."
Snap!
The wooden sword fell again and hit Zhu Houzhao on the waist, causing him to grin and groan.
"Here I won't teach you any fancy things. What I will teach you is only two words: kill!"
"Guns are for killing people, not for looking good. On the battlefield, when an enemy can be stabbed to death with one shot, why waste your energy playing tricks?"
While speaking, Lin Nuo took the iron gun from Zhu Houzhao's hand, and then without any preparation, he stabbed the old tree in front of him with one hand.
Tsk tsk tsk!
The sound of the gun tip rubbing against the air was absolutely numb. Zhu Houzhao saw that just as Master Lin raised his hand, four or five gun shadows suddenly appeared in mid-air, followed by the object being pierced multiple times.
violent sound.
"How many shots did I just make?" Lin Nuo asked, throwing the iron gun to Zhu Houzhao.
"There are four or five shots, right?"
The young man answered somewhat uncertainly, but when his eyes were fixed on the old tree not far away, he discovered that at some point, nine huge trees had appeared on the trunk of the originally vigorous and tall tree.
The hole is transparent from front to back and is completely pierced through!
