It has been a long, long time since Qin Jianxian beheaded Zhu Rong and swept away all the devils, and the long-awaited ones have become legends in the Three Realms.
On an official road.
There are six riders walking forward, three middle-aged men and three young men and women.
"Can I enter the Sky Splitting Sword Sect?"
Teenager 'Liu Qi' was thinking.
His father, Liu Qianshan, is one of the Seven Eagles of the 'Seven Eagles Fort' in Baihe County. Back then, he and the other six senior brothers were all outer disciples of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect. The seven members of the same family have a deep relationship, and they jointly established the Seven Eagles Fort and settled in Baihe County. 'Baihe Qiying' is also quite famous.
"The Sky-Cracking Sword Sect controls the entire eighteen prefectures of Jiangnan Province, and is the top sect in the world." The young Liu Qi thought, "Some of the inner disciples of the Sky-Cracking Sword Sect were cultivated by high-ranking disciples of the sect, and some were cultivated from childhood. Screening among the outer disciples. In the real primary selection, there are very few people who directly enter the inner disciples. Now, in my Eastern Prime Minister's Mansion, there are only ten places for inner disciples, can I get in?"
"It's just ahead."
A man with a broken arm was riding a horse with a sword on his waist, and said, "Eighteen prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, each prefecture has only ten places for inner sect disciples. Our seven brothers have been suffering in the outer sect for many years, but we have not been able to enter the inner sect. I can see your younger generation."
"Give us a sigh of relief." Another elegant man also said.
"yes."
Liu Qi and another boy and girl all responded.
The younger generation of Seven Eagle Castle practiced hard since childhood, and the three of them are even more outstanding.
…
Sky Splitting Sword Sect, branch of Dongxiang Mansion.
Today, a large group of parents and elders come with their children, and they dare to come to the primary election, which is based on some foundations. Either they are rich and wealthy businessmen, or they are the descendants of disciples of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect, they are all cultivated from childhood.
"Let me make it clear in advance that only those who practice basic internal strength can join our Heaven-Splitting Sword Sect. If you practice other internal strength, leave quickly." An old man in a green shirt looked at thousands of young men and women, and the surrounding was quiet.
"Okay, this year's screening assessment, the first pass."
The old man in green shirt pointed to a towering mountain behind, "Within a stick of incense, climb from the foot of the mountain to the top with bare hands."
"This year's first hurdle is this?" Many parents and elders in the distance were nervous.
…
Many young men and women climbed quickly on the steep mountain wall.
They all have internal strength and know the method of lightness kung fu, so they climb quite fast. But the time for a stick of incense is too short, and there will be many changes when climbing. For example, other people deliberately stepped on and smashed stones, and the stones splashed around.
"Ah." Boys and girls often fell, and disciples of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect immediately flew up to catch them, but they were all eliminated.
…
"There are one hundred and twenty-six people who have passed the first test. If you wish, you can all join my Heaven-Splitting Sword Sect and become outer disciples." The old man in blue looked at the group of young girls with a smile and said. stood among them, while his two companions failed. Liu Qi looked back and saw his father and uncles in the crowd outside the railing in the distance.
"Father, uncle, third uncle." Liu Qi saw his elders at a glance.
"Xiaoqi, fight hard." The three elders watched excitedly, but the young couple beside them turned red-eyed.
Liu Qi nodded slightly, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
…
"They all sat down cross-legged, and began to operate the inner strength method, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth as quickly as possible."
"Liu Qi, talent, Yixia!"
…
"Come one by one and perform basic swordsmanship."
"Wang Tong, swordsmanship, Yizhong."
"Liu Qi, swordsmanship, under armor."
…
"Go to rest, start tomorrow morning, and have a ring competition."
"Liu Qi, actual combat: First Class."
…
After two days of screening.
The one hundred and twenty-six boys and girls who passed the first level also got their rankings.
"Liu Qi, ranked seventeenth." Liu Qi looked at the ranking on the red list and fell silent.
"Uncle Li, my little Qi is ranked first in terms of swordsmanship and actual combat, and can even be ranked in the top three! The two who are comparable to my little Qi are the son of the mansion master, and the other is also a member of the Dongxiang Sword Sage family. Third son, my little Qi can match them, so his swordsmanship comprehension is extremely high, right? Can't we make an exception?" Liu Qianshan begged in front of the old man in blue.
"Qianshan, it's not that I don't help you, it's the sect's rule. Your son's ability to absorb the aura of heaven and earth can only be considered normal, and he has the aptitude of His Majesty Yi. But this time the most outstanding one is the aptitude of 'A Middle School', absorbing the aura of heaven and earth. The aura is five times that of your son's! Ten years of internal energy training is equivalent to fifty years of your son's internal energy training." The old man in the green shirt said, "Swordsmanship is important, but internal energy is the foundation. Internal energy is too far behind. How can this be done? Woolen cloth?"
"But my son is only fourteen this year, and he already has such sword skills. Isn't it worth cultivating?" Liu Qianshan asked repeatedly.
"It's only fourteen! Next year or two years, your son will be able to compete again." The old man in green shirt smiled, "Maybe next year or two years, your son will be ranked in the top ten and directly enter the inner sect."
Liu Qianshan was silent.
Their Seven Eagles are considered heroes in Baihe County. But in the entire Eighteenth Mansion of Jiangnan Road... they can only be regarded as third-rate.
Liu Qi stood in the distance, silently watching his father argue with that Protector Li.
…
On the way back, Liu Qi was a little silent.
"Xiao Qi, you can rank seventeenth in the entire Eastern Prime Minister's Mansion. This time, the top ten have entered the inner sect of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect. Then come back next year to compete, and you will definitely be in the top ten." The man with a broken arm But he laughed loudly.
Liu Qi didn't say a word.
"Next year? Most of them will practice until they are fifteen or sixteen years old, and they will come to compete when they reach the age limit. There will be new opponents next year." Liu Qi said silently, "But my aptitude will not change, it will still be Your Majesty."
"Just to be honest, next year you will be stronger than this year, and you will definitely be in the top ten." Liu Qianshan also said.
"Yes, father." Liu Qi replied.
Liu Qianshan and his three senior brothers exchanged glances with each other, but they were all under pressure.
"Xiao Qi's swordsmanship has already entered the first class. At this level, it is very difficult to advance further. Next year or two years later, can he enter the inner sect?" Liu Qianshan said silently, "Only by entering the inner sect can he learn the true A powerful method. Otherwise, in this world, you will be just a second-rate and third-rate Jianghu people."
…
A bookstore.
The young Liu Qi came to this bookstore very familiarly, and flipped through the story books. Every time he feels tired from practicing, he will come here to find some scriptures to read, and he will forget the tiredness when he is immersed in the scriptures.
"Xiao Qi, looking at you, you haven't been able to become an inner disciple of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect?" In the bookstore, there was a shop owner who was lying on a bamboo chair while waving a cattail fan, "Haha, let me know what Lao Qin was expecting, right?" .”
Liu Qi glanced at the shop owner, but ignored him.
"I told you earlier, you're still young, it's useless to go, but you don't listen, no, it's a waste of work." The shop owner couldn't help but said again, "Let me tell you, if you go at the age of sixteen, you will win."
"Uncle Qin, can you say a few words less?" Liu Qi said helplessly.
"Come, come, tell me, how did you lose this time?" the shop owner asked curiously.
"Tell me, I'll give you a few pointers, maybe you can win next time."
"Hey, hey... You kid, why can't you hit a fart with three sticks, what a boring gourd!"
Liu Qi finally couldn't help but look at the shop owner: "Uncle Qin, I'm slow to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and my talent is inferior! Tell me, how can you guide me?"
"It's a bit difficult." The store owner stroked his white beard, "But if you, Mr. Qin, think of a way, it's not impossible."
"Those who can change aptitude are the legendary treasures of heaven and earth. Uncle Qin, stop joking." Liu Qi curled his lips. His family is also a martial arts family, and he still knows some common sense from childhood.
"Hmph, who said that you must have the treasures of heaven and earth?"
Uncle Qin stared, took out a book from his pocket, and threw it in front of Liu Qi, "Look, you Uncle Qin got this book by accident many years ago, as long as you practice it completely, not only can you learn powerful swordsmanship, It can also be reborn."
"I got it many years ago? But it looks very new, and I can still smell the fragrance of ink." Liu Qi curiously picked up the book, but there was no writing on the cover. After flipping through it, "This sword technique... huh?"
Liu Qi didn't pay attention to it at first, but when he saw it, he couldn't help being immersed in it.
He looked over slowly.
At only fourteen years old, his basic swordsmanship was rated as 'under the first class', and he also entered the first class. He was naturally very talented in swordsmanship, and soon discovered the extraordinaryness of this swordsmanship.
"This swordsmanship." After a long time, Liu Qi raised his head to look at the shop owner, feeling as mysterious as the usual talkative 'Uncle Qin'.
"How is it? Great, aren't you?" Uncle Qin raised his eyebrows, "You, Uncle Qin, used to be the most powerful swordsman in the world. How could the swordsmanship I produced be worse? Alright, alright, this is what I did by accident a few years ago. If you saved a Jianghu person, give me this swordsmanship secret book written by the Jianghu person, and I, an old man, took it and it was useless, so I will give it to you."
"Uncle Qin, you may not understand, this is indeed a very powerful swordsmanship." Liu Qi handed back the swordsmanship booklet, "I can't take it."
"I'll give it to you if I say it. I, Old Qin, will never take back what I give you." Uncle Qin waved his hand and said, "That's all right, all right, don't act like you're touched, you, Uncle Qin, are alone in Dongxiang's mansion. If you have nothing to do, just come and chat with me."
Liu Qi suddenly felt sour in his heart.
This Uncle Qin, all gray-haired, is lonely and lonely. It's really pitiful.
"Uncle Qin, I will come to accompany you more." Liu Qilian said.
"Hmm." Uncle Qin was lying on the bamboo chair, waving the cattail fan leisurely, thinking in his heart, "In these three realms, martial arts are indeed getting more and more prosperous, and now the first golden immortal of martial arts has been born."
