In the early morning, the breeze blows, and the air in Moyoutan is always so refreshing.
Fang Zhengzheng likes to stay in Moyoutan. The big reason is that the air here is similar to that of Beishan Village. As usual, after breakfast, he went out wearing a blue gown.
However, Yan Xiu changed his appearance today. He was dressed in a smart outfit, with various silks tied around his arms, and a silver breastplate hung on his chest.
Although he doesn't look like he's in full armor, he still looks cool and handsome.
"Are you wearing this?" Yan Xiu looked slightly confused when he saw Fang Zhengzheng's gown.
"Eh? Why are you dressed like this?" Fang Zhengzheng was equally confused.
He remembered that in the last martial arts test at the county test, he was dressed in a blue gown, and the candidates who took the test that time seemed to be the same.
"Today is the martial arts test!" Yan Xiu reminded.
"I know." Fang Zhengzheng nodded.
Yan Xiu saw Fang Zhengzheng nodding, thought for a moment, and said nothing more.
The two of them walked side by side towards the government office.
…
The location of this martial arts test was also in the government office of Xinhe Prefecture.
However, unlike the literary test, there is no need to wait at the entrance of the government office in advance for the test to start.
Instead, you can enter the government office directly.
Therefore, when Fang Zhengzheng and Yan Xiu arrived, except for two rows of guarding sergeants, there were only a few people walking through the government office, and not many people were waiting.
"Register!" A guard stopped Fang Zhengzheng and Yan Xiu.
Then, the two of them registered in front of the guard's desk, and then each received a small plate made of black metal with their own names on it.
Fang Zhengzheng was a little curious, what is the use of this thing
He wanted to ask, but the guard had no intention of explaining, and Yan Xiu's expression seemed to have known about the existence of this thing for a long time.
Therefore, Fang Zhengzheng thought for a while and decided to ask Yan Xiu later.
After entering the government office, Fang Zhengzheng and Yan Xiu quickly arrived at the backyard under the guidance of the guards.
The backyard is a relatively spacious open space with flowers, grass, and a big tree. In addition, all that can be seen is a group of candidates wearing various armors.
After a while, Han Changfeng, wearing a white official uniform, accompanied by several imperial envoys, appeared on a high platform built in the backyard.
"Boom!" A gong sounded, indicating that it was time for the martial arts test.
Han Changfeng stood up from the chair on the high platform, took two steps forward, looked at the candidates wearing various armors below, and nodded gently.
Finally, his eyes fell on Fang Zhengzheng.
After a moment of composure, a hint of surprise seemed to flash in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. Then, Han Changfeng coughed twice.
"This martial arts test has gathered the most outstanding young talents from the five northern desert prefectures and other areas. In order to ensure that there are not too many casualties, the Royal Academy has also decided to set the location in the 'small world'."
"I believe you have also seen the name tag in your hand. The rules are very simple. Pass the test of the small world and ensure that the name tag in your hand is not lost. Then, successfully reach the center of the world, where I and the envoys will be waiting for you! "
"It's worth explaining that if you encounter danger in the small world, you can just crush the name tag and you can come out naturally. However, crushing the name tag also means you are disqualified!"
"Understand?!" After Han Changfeng finished speaking, his eyes swept around the candidates below again.
"Understood!" All the candidates responded immediately.
However, Fang Zhengzheng was a little confused, small world? What the hell? Will you be disqualified if you crush a famous brand? This martial arts test seems to be different from what I imagined.
Fang Zhengzheng looked around. Everyone was nervously making final preparations, and no one seemed to have any questions to ask.
"Small world... what is it?" Fang Zhengzheng thought for a moment, then turned his gaze to Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu, who was sorting out the breast shield, was obviously stunned when he heard Fang Zhengzheng's question, and a glint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
"do not you know?"
"Ahem... I have never been to the Taoist Hall, you know." Fang Zhengzheng made an excuse for himself.
"Yes!" Yan Xiu nodded, feeling a little embarrassed about his gaffe just now: "There are three thousand big worlds and thousands of small worlds in the "Tao Canon" in three thousand volumes! You have entered Taoism, then you There should be a small world in your heart, right?"
"Is there a small world in your heart?" Fang Zhengzheng suddenly realized that the other world he saw was his own small world.
"Yes, I don't know what your little world is like, because everyone's little world is different. This is determined according to each person's way of entering the Tao, but the foundation of a world will not change. Air, water, trees, land...etc., these are the basis of a world." Yan Xiu explained.
Fang Zhengzheng nodded. His small world was originally composed of air and land. Then, a small sapling appeared. The sapling absorbed the moisture in the air, slowly condensed into water droplets, and moistened the land, thus creating a cycle.
Finally, the saplings turned into giant trees, and the land grew into a lake.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhengzheng suddenly had a feeling that he seemed to have touched a field that he had never touched before. Everyone has a small world of their own in their hearts
So the direction of cultivation...
Are you constantly improving this small world? !
"So where are we entering today?" Although Fang Zhengzheng roughly understood the concept of a small world in his heart, he was still a little unclear about entering a small world to participate in a martial arts test.
"There are small worlds left by some deceased ancestors in the Royal Academy. Entering such a small world, you can feel the 'Tao' practiced by the ancestors!" Yan Xiu explained again.
Fang Zhengzheng finally understood.
The small world in everyone's mind is different. If a person preserves these small worlds through some special methods after his death, he can understand the process of the ancestors' enlightenment of the Tao.
It seems that there are many magical places in this world that I don't know about.
small world…
It should be more than just saving it. You can come out of the small world by crushing the famous brand. This should be a small world that has been perfected by future generations.
Separate space
I don’t know what it will be like in this ancestor’s small world.
The more Fang Zhengzheng thought about it, the more he looked forward to it, because he had a vague feeling that by entering the small world, he should be able to find the direction of his future cultivation.
Then, he looked at Yan Xiu and suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
"You all know that you are going to enter the small world... so why did you change your clothes?" Fang Zhengzheng looked at Yan Xiu's dress and seemed to understand something.
"Yes, I thought you knew it too!" Yan Xiu nodded.
"..." Fang Zhengzheng looked around and finally landed on a young man, a young man whose figure was almost the same as his own.
Of course, the most important thing is that the armor on that young man looks beautiful!
