MTL - If You Can’t Be a Son-in-law, You Have To Be Sanctified-Chapter 163 In front of Taishu Pavilion, the palace test list
Lu Jing was sitting in the Hanmo Academy, looking down at the Snow Drinking Blade in front of him.
The silver-white blade is paired with a silver hilt. It is vaguely seen what kind of tempering technique was used for the precious iron used for casting this blade. The light from the sky seems to have snowflakes embedded in it, which is quite beautiful.
The famous knives of the fifth rank are not very common even in this Taixuan Beijing.
Not to mention the treasures in the hands of the older generation of great house masters and generals, most of the famous swords collected by the officials of the dynasty are only of the fifth grade.
As for the younger generation of the Great House, it is even rarer to wear a five-grade famous sword on the waist.
The previous generations of Jiuhu Lujia had good management and accumulated the next big family business. Even on Changning Street of Shili, even the second Fu of Taishu Pavilion was prosperous. When it comes to wealth, it is not as good as Jiuhu Lujia.
But even so, what Lu Feng, the eldest young master of the second mansion in Fuzhong, is nothing but a rank six treasured sword.
Although there are indeed treasures of the fifth rank in the mansion, Lu Feng is young after all, and he has never been an official in the court, so he has not been given it.
From this, it can be seen that the fifth-grade treasure saber is actually extremely precious, and often only a clan with a very deep background can support its young people to possess such treasures.
Lu Jing grabbed this Snow Drinking Blade from Nan Xuehu, but he just wanted to teach Nan Xuehu a lesson.
But I never thought that after that, the Snow Drinking Knife really played a great role.
At the very least, if he did not have the sharpness of the snow-drinking knife, he could only rely on his personal anger and fate, and his own blood in the furnace realm at that time.
I'm afraid that he will not be able to kill the Dazhi monk who is protected by the blood of the eminent monk.
At this moment, Lu Jing put the Snow Drinking Sword on his lap, closed his eyes, and realized the meaning of the spring thunder sword.
The knife means like thunder, flowing freely on this snow-drinking knife.
The Snow Drinking Saber has a large blade, although it is very sharp, it weighs three hundred catties.
The weight of 300 jin is nothing to a martial arts cultivator. Lu Jing is holding a 300 jin snow-drinking knife, which can only be described as easy.
Ke Chun Lei Dao Yi pays attention to a vigorous, mighty force, pressing the heaven and earth across the sky.
Drinking snow knives circulates qi and blood, but it falls like snowflakes in a continuous manner, but it is not called earth-shattering.
For the qi and blood bonus, although the magnitude is extremely high, it does not come suddenly, but slowly increases, getting stronger and stronger.
This is also contrary to the meaning of Chunlei sword.
It's just that now Lu Jing doesn't have a good knife in his hand, so he can only use the Snow Drinking Knife to hone the Spring Thunder Blade Intent.
Lu Jingshi has never learned any sword techniques until now.
But it was only through Mr. Jiu's slashing the green mountain, combining the energy of thunder, and combining his own righteous life like a rainbow, he developed such a special martial arts spirit.
So under certain circumstances, Lu Jing can only use a knife with a knife.
If someone else is close, coupled with this spring thunder sword intent, coupled with the wrath of a husband, it can really be regarded as a means for Lu Jing to save his life.
For the current Lu Jing, power can be called a powerful word, and the sword means the winner and the loser, life and death.
"Your sword intent is truly breathtaking."
Guan Changsheng was sitting not far away and drinking, his face was a little red, but now it turned red because of the strong drink. …
It is rare to see such a good sun today, so Guan Changsheng and Lu Jing came to the pool where Mr. Jiu washed his sword before. Lu Jing practiced sword intent, while Guan Changsheng sat and drank, playing with the clear water in the pool.
Lu Jing didn't answer, the sword intent on the Snow Drinking Knife circulated for a long time and stopped, then he raised his head and looked at Guan Changsheng.
"Mr. Changsheng, that day I held the Slashing Green Mountain in my hand and stood beside this pool of water. I felt that there were many sword intents in it. Some of the sword intents were originally silent, but they started to vibrate because of your arrival."
Lu Jing had some curiosity in his eyes: "Mr. Changsheng told me before that when you were in Donghe Kingdom, you once killed the prefect with a knife in a rage, and I didn't think much about it at the time.
When I think about it now, the prefect is the head of a county in the Donghe country. The gentleman can kill the prefect alone. The Donghe country has been besieged and suppressed many times. Mr. Guan still left the Donghe country and entered the Northern Qin Dynasty. After training you into a puppet, Mr. came out of Northern Qin and came to Dafu Taixuanjing.
Thinking about it like this, the cultivation base of Mr. must be extraordinary. "
Senior
sheng stroked his long beard with his right hand, and said boldly: "In today's world, if you don't have a third of what you have learned, how can you be able to conquer the world?"
Lu Jing didn't ask much, just sighed: "The book building is indeed called Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger."
"There are naturally countless talented people in the world, and there are leaders in all kinds of avenues. Lu Jing, your spring thunder swordsmanship is very promising."
Guan Changsheng poured a glass of wine and flicked his fingers.
The wine glass was wrapped in the turbulent qi and blood, and it came back steadily and landed in front of Lu Jing.
The wine in the wine glass has not even spilled a drop.
He added: "If you can always be diligent, maybe one day in the future, you can also ask the sky with a knife and ask this thief why it doesn't rain."
Lu Jing heard Guan Changsheng's words and couldn't help but ask, "Can someone ask the heavens with a knife in the past?"
Guan Changsheng nodded and said with a smile: "The way of the sword is the righteous way in this world. You can be the leader with the sword, but the world is vast but you can go as far as you can.
A long time ago, there was the leader of the Dao of the Sword who raised the sword to ask the sky, the sword moved the stars, the stars rang together, and the clouds and mist accumulated, and a heavy rain fell. "
Lu Jing raised his eyebrows slightly: "I don't know the name of this senior?"
Guan Changsheng shook his head gently: "The deceased is gone, his past achievements have been turned into ashes, and the treasured saber in his hand has also been broken. "
"It's been a long time, as he said, even I forgot his name."
Lu Jing was a little surprised, but Guan Changsheng smiled and said, "But I still remember his knife, it was called General Domineering, so I still remember it now.
The people who were the leader of the Dao of the Sword also called the deceased general a domineering general. "
"General Domineering? It's a strange name."
Lu Jing thought so in his heart.
"The leader of today's kendo is not so mysterious. He is the sword-carrying scholar whose sword energy has gone three thousand miles."
Guan Changsheng's eyes fell on the Snow Drinking Sabre, and his tone was hesitant: "I don't know if there will be more swordsmen and swordsmen in this world in the future.
Now that you are still young, you have already cultivated an air of arrogance, cultivated a spirit of spring thunder, and coupled with your sword intent, your future achievements are indeed promising. "
"It's just like many people in Taixuan Jing now call you a masterpiece of calligraphy and painting."…
Guan Changsheng's tone carried some sighs.
Lu Jing's eyes were a little bit stunned: "Calligraphy and painting...Shuangjue?"
Guan Changsheng drank boldly, and then smiled sideways: "Don't you know? You painted a real dragon in the Shihua Pavilion, and the real dragon was suspended in the clouds. Such a scene has already spread throughout Taixuanjing.
Nowadays, many people say that there is a young gentleman in the bookstore. "
For many days, Lu Jing has not participated in any literary conferences, nor has he been invited to be a guest, and he only spends his days reading and resting.
Except for Taixuan Palace, Book Building and Yanglu Street, I rarely go to other places.
"No wonder these days, Qingyue has even said a lot of greetings and invitations to her door several times."
Lu Jing thought so in his heart.
Guan Changsheng reminded loudly: "This knife of yours is not suitable for Chunlei Saber Intent. If you want to exert the extraordinary power of this martial arts spirit, you need to change to a suitable knife."
Lu Jing nodded lightly, but smiled again: "This knife belongs to a familiar person who is with me, not mine.
And... Famous swords and swords are expensive, and it is not easy to find a good sword. "
Guan Changsheng first nodded, and then slowly shook his head: "The world's famous swords, swords, and treasures are not very popular among the people, and most of them are controlled by wealthy mansions and court officials.
Even the most famous craftsmen have been attached to the imperial court.
I know your temperament. If you want to get a good knife, it is not difficult, but it is difficult not to owe others. "
When Guan Changsheng said this, his eyes moved, he leaned over, and said, "Five days later is the hall test, you are the second floor gentleman of the book building, if you want to participate in the hall test, you only need to Go to Taishu Pavilion to add your name to the list.
You may have heard that the eyes of the exam questions in front of the hall are a pair of swords, named Hu Feng and Hu Yu.
Wouldn’t it be better if you got these two swords?”
Lu Jing smiled casually and didn't say much.
The Palace Test is a bit far for ordinary people.
But for the many great palaces and officials in Taixuanjing, it is a first-class event.
In the early morning of tomorrow, the list will be opened in front of Taishu Pavilion. Only court officials above the third rank can recommend candidates, and those who are recommended can participate in this pre-hall test.
However, Guan Changsheng's interest seemed to be only in the two swords that were used to call the wind and call the rain.
"The pre-palace exam is different from the imperial examination. After winning, you can express your vision to the sage.
It would be interesting if Mr. Lu Jing went to participate in the hall test and took the two treasures called Wind and Rain and continued to teach in the library. What is the difference in casting. "
Guan Changsheng's eyes flashed, looking at Lu Jing, his tone was still a little encouraging.
I never thought about it, but Lu Jing nodded slowly when he heard Guan Changsheng's words: "If I can get the Wind-Housing Sword or the Rain-calling Sword, I will bring it over and show it to Mr.
Guan Changsheng was stunned when he heard these words, and immediately put down the jug in his hand: "Are you really going to be on the list tomorrow?"
Looking at the head, he thought about it again, and said with a smile: "Being in Taixuanjing, there are always many disappointments. …
If you can wear the treasures given by Emperor Chongtian on your waist, if you can hold some authority, maybe you will not be so passive, and you will not be assassinated many times. "
Guan Changsheng was silent for a while, then took out a new glass and poured wine for Lu Jing.
"Lu Jing, I am much older than you, but I feel that at this age, I can write that righteous and virtuous essay on killing evil, and I can cultivate a great spirit. Your heart is just like me, and you have some ambitions for this world. Yes, that's why I invite you to drink many times.
Now that we are all teaching in this Hanmo Academy, we also have the friendship of colleagues. If you encounter problems in the future, you can tell me. "
Guan Changsheng's wine glass swung towards Lu Jing, drank it all in one go, and said casually, "I have some reputation in the Donghe Kingdom, if there is no large army in the country to form a battle formation to kill me, I still want to go to the capital of Donghe Kingdom and ask questions. Ask the walking dead on the throne how he manages those bureaucrats with wine bags and rice bags!
Now I have come to the bookstore to cultivate myself and my spirit is much calmer, but I can still draw a knife occasionally. "
When Lu Jing heard Guan Changsheng's words, he also drank the green plum wine in the cup.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered the letter from Princess Chong'an, Si Wanyu.
"People can't get along with others only by utilitarianism, but occasionally there is affection in it."
Lu Jing thought so in his heart, so he never refused, just nodded with a smile.
…
Taishu Pavilion is located at the end of Qingyun Street.
It is very close to the Taixuan Palace. The blue bricks and ink tiles are matched with the towering courtyard walls. In addition, on the plaque at the bottom of the black jade enclosure, the sage inscribes the words "Taishu of the Country" lightly, which makes this vast Taishu Pavilion architectural complex. , looks very solemn.
On weekdays, apart from the Taishu cabinet ministers and many officials, few people actually come here to hang out.
Qingyun Street is often guarded by the Qianxian Army, and there are still many large Fu Xuanyi hidden around.
But today, in front of Taishu Pavilion on Qingyun Street, it is quite different.
Many boys and girls came in sedan chairs and horses, then got off the sedan chairs at the entrance of Qingyun Street, walked into Qingyun Street, and came to Taishu Pavilion.
The reason for is that at this moment, in front of Taishu Pavilion, a Xuanbang has already been posted.
On the list, there are only a few taboos in chatting and writing, and there is a paragraph of eloquent text on it.
These boys and girls came to Qingyun Street to read the list.
Some princes and young ladies of the great mansion came in person, but more mansions did send their servants to the middle officials.
For a while, the front of the Taishu Pavilion list was densely packed with human heads. Many people looked around, and many servants came with pen and paper. When they turned their heads, they found that they had been tested in front of the palace. Now there are not many names on the list. .
Looking carefully, there were only a dozen or so people.
But the fame of these ten people is heavier than each other.
The son of the champion general, Xu Xingzhi, who holds a knife in one hand and a fist that can move the world.
Ye Sheyu, the star-holding general of the Su Xuan army.
Li Zhiyun, the fourth younger brother of Li Guanlong of Shaozhu Kingdom.
The Chu family is from
Nanzhao's young guest minister crossed the river.
The youngest Qinglongjun among the four guests under the prince's command!
…
These names are very important even in Taixuanjing, where talented people are born in large numbers.
Especially Xu Xingzhi, the son of the champion general!
The people of Xuandu didn't know until this moment that this martial arts genius, who has been at the border for a long time and is known by the world as both swordsman and fist, is going to participate in the hall test! …
Even Xu Xingzhi may have quietly entered Taixuanjing.
For a while, many disciples of the great manor couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.
Because most of those who participated in this trial have already succeeded!
Xu Xingzhi fought with his father, and he had a lot of military exploits. I don't know how many Northern Qin soldiers died in his famous evil sword.
Ye Sheyu was born in a poor family, but now he leads an army. Although there is the shadow of the eldest princess far away in the Western Regions, General Ke Xing is not a false name.
Li Zhiyun is the fourth younger brother of Li Guanlong from the Shaozhu Kingdom. Although Li Zhiyun rarely leaves the house on weekdays and is not well-known in Taixuanjing, as long as others have heard Li Guanlong's name taboo, they will never underestimate him!
As for the others, the same is true.
"There are three tests in front of the hall, the first two are the martial arts and Yuanshen tests, and the literary test will be postponed for five days.
This year's second Martial Dao Primordial Spirit Test seems to have very few participants, but in fact, one of them can be drawn at will, and they can easily win the front court test in previous years. "
There are disciples of the Great House talking to each other.
These young ladies are in the center of Taixuanjing, so they naturally know that this pre-palace trial has another meaning.
That is the first battle between the crown prince and the seventh prince!
Before January, Taixuan Jingzhong was still as calm as a pool of water.
The doomed dispute between the Prince and the Seventh Prince is still unknown.
But in just one month, Taixuanjing's stroke was starting to sound, and the seventh prince was about to open his mansion. The Duke of Chu even went to the prince's mansion that had been built and planted a big tree himself.
The holy monarch gave marriage, and Li Wuhuang of the Li family in Xuandu was about to marry the seventh prince.
The reputation of the Seventh Prince had already spread all over Taixuanjing, but since this month, the rumors of Taixuanjing have become more and more popular. It is said that the Seventh Prince has been thinking about it for nine years, but he has read all the articles in the world, knows the knowledge of various schools, and cultivated a body that shines in the stars. …
These messages don't seem surprising.
But if you piece together these many pieces of information, what can be guessed will become even more astonishing.
Later, rumors began to emerge.
It is said that the prince and the seventh prince are going to test each other's sharpness in front of the palace... It seems that the Taixuan Palace has acquiesced.
all kinds of…
In the hall test held every five years, officials of the third rank in the court rarely recommend others.
This also led to the fact that only a dozen people participated in this round of the hall test.
But the list on this list today is unexpected.
I didn't expect that even Xu Xingzhi, Ye Sheyu and other famous people's names would appear on the list.
"The names of a few of them are listed on the list, and no other names will be added today."
The text of the list is displayed in front of Taishu Pavilion.
Some officials who have not recommended talents to Taishu Pavilion can still enter Taishu Pavilion today and add the name of the person taking the test.
But right now…
At the end of the head movement on Qingyun Street, there was a sudden burst of commotion.
Everyone turned to look, but saw a beautiful girl with a sword in blue, walking slowly.
The girl came, and everyone moved out of the way, as if there was a gust of wind and rain brewing on her body, bouncing off the crowd.
In the beginning, the people in the outer palace didn't know who this woman was, but after seeing the nobles for a long time, they also knew that the woman in front of her had an extraordinary temperament, which was definitely not unusual. …
And the young ladies in front of Taishu Pavilion, but some people only want who she is.
□□ According to legend, everyone's faces showed some shock!
"Nanguo Gongfu... Nanheyu!"
"There are people in the Nanguo Gongfu who also participated in the hall test!"
"Nan Heyu is the arrogance of Xuandu's swordsmanship, not to mention her good cultivation, she also has a feathered sword heart, if she wants to participate in the hall test with the sword called the rain, which one is called Yuhuan sword. Isn't Yujian hers?"
"I can't say for sure, Nan Heyu's kendo talent is naturally excellent, but she is too young, Ye Sheyu and Xu Xingzhi are a few years older than her."
"It should be the fourth son of the Li family who is under pressure, but I don't know how the fourth son of the Li family is in cultivation and swordsmanship."
Everyone is speculating…
"Nan Heyu came to Taishu Pavilion, perhaps not for the test in front of the hall.
Why did the Nanguo Gongfu try to intervene in front of the palace this time? This is too unwise. "
There are also people who are very puzzled.
Nan Heyu appeared on Qingyun Street.
Her eyes were firm and she walked step by step.
At this moment, her steps were steady and slow, but she seemed to have made up her mind to go straight towards Taishu Pavilion.
Everyone got out of the way and let Nan Heyu walk all the way to the front of the Taishu Pavilion.
In front of the Taishu Pavilion announcement, several Taishu Pavilion officials also looked at Nan Heyu, and someone hurriedly turned around and entered the Taishu Pavilion, then returned and shook their heads at the other officials.
"Miss He Yu, Taishu Pavilion has not received any recommendation, I don't know if the lady came, what is the so-called?"
An elderly official saluted Nan Heyu and asked.
The rest of the people's eyes fell on Nan Heyu.
But Nan Heyu didn't answer, but looked into the distance and said softly, "Heyu decided to give it a try."
These words were whispered by her.
In an instant, a red glow suddenly appeared in the distance.
A silver pigeon flew from the void, riding the firelight, with a letter in its mouth.
This strange pigeon flew very fast, and even turned into a silver light, flew into the Taishu Pavilion and disappeared.
Not long.
Someone hurried out of the Taishu Pavilion, whispering a few words like the old official.
The old official looked stunned, and immediately said loudly: "Nan Heyu was introduced by Dazhuguo, and he has to take the test before the hall."
He finished in a high voice, ignoring the uproar of the crowd, turned around, picked up the pen and ink, and added the names of a group of people on the list. "Nanheyu!"
Nan Heyu's eyes became firmer when she saw her name appear on the list.
"Since you want to hone your swordsmanship, and since you want to see the swordsmanship of the immortals, you can no longer hesitate.
This move can refine my xinxing. "
Nan Heyu remained silent, turned around and walked out of the crowd.
Everyone got out of the way again, and some people who knew the inside story originally thought that the Duke of Nanguo must have defected to the Prince or the Seventh Prince. Suddenly, I remembered that Nan Heyu was introduced by Dazhuguo, not Nanguo Gongfu, and there might be an inside story.
Nan Heyu just walked on the street like this, heading towards the Nanguo Gongfu.
There must be a scolding waiting for her in the Nanguo Gongfu, but at this moment, she doesn't care.
"It's not terrible to offend a few people and do a few things wrong."
"If you don't refine your temperament, how can you dare to pursue the truth of the world?"…
Nan Heyu thought so in his heart.
"Are you taking the wrong medicine?"
At this moment, a voice came.
Nan Heyu knew who the voice belonged to without turning around.
The general star holding the white star mask took a few steps and came to Nan Heyu's side.
She frowned and looked at Nan Heyu.
Nan Heyu shook his head and said, "This matter only represents me and has nothing to do with the Nanguo Gongfu."
"This matter will anger the crown prince and the seventh prince." Ye Sheyu frowned and said, "Do you want to become an official? Or do you want two third-grade treasures?
You have Qian Xiushui, and that sword can still penetrate your eyes?"
Nan Heyu understood that Ye Sheyu didn't know the secret of the two swords, but he didn't explain anything.
Ye Sheyu looked at Nan Heyu's silent look, and was a little annoyed: "You are still too stubborn as you were when you were young."
After saying this, Ye Sheyu didn't say more, just walked side by side with Nan Heyu: "It doesn't matter, even if the sword falls into your hands, it's better than falling into Li Zhiyun's hands."
"Besides you, no one else in Taixuanjing is so bold."
Ye Sheyu's words have not yet fallen.
Suddenly, Nan Heyu suddenly stopped and frowned.
Yeshe Fish
followed Nan Heyu's gaze.
But on Qingyun Street, Lu Jing, dressed in white, wearing a black sandalwood sword on his waist, walked step by step.
"Lu Jing?"
Ye Sheyu frowned: "Where is he going?"
Nan Heyu turned to look at Ye Sheyu: "Since you are here at Qingyun Street, where can you go?"
The face under Ye Sheyu's mask was stunned, and he immediately shook his head and said, "There are many great mansions on Qingyun Street. It is said that Mr. Lu Jing is still friends with Lord Shoufu, maybe he is going to Lord Shoufu's mansion..."
"It's just that Lord Shoufu's mansion is clearly in front."
