"Senior brother, please come up the mountain." At the gateless mountain gate, the man made a respectful gesture of invitation. He even changed his name and looked at Wu Gen with a hint of fear in his eyes. Such a ruthless person, with such vicious attacks, it is obvious that his hands are stained with blood, so there is no need to ask for trouble.
"Well, not bad. Junior brother, I wonder if there are people like you two on this mountain..." Wu Gen pointed at Zhang Rong.
"No more, no more." The man quickly responded: "Actually, other senior brothers were supposed to come over to guard the mountain gate today, but Zhang Rong and I committed some crimes and were punished to blow the wind here, so it was our turn to release the door stone. However, this senior brother should be careful, there are some people on the mountain with bad tempers, and they may cause trouble for no reason."
Wu Gen nodded. He was also from the Xiang Army, so he knew the rules here. It has always been the case in the military that the old bully the new, those with high official positions bully those with low official positions, and those with big fists bully those with small fists. As a place where generals are trained, Shenwuyuan is naturally indispensable for this kind of atmosphere, and it may even be worse than it.
Reaching out to pick up the package, Wu Gen felt much more relaxed. As expected, there are two realms of hammering someone and being hammered.
Watching Wu Gen's retreating figure, the man let out a sigh of relief and cursed fiercely: "Boy, let's allow you to be arrogant for a while. Hum, when we get to the mountain, your small body will be loved by the senior brothers who can withstand it."
After he finished cursing, the man walked up to Zhang Rong, feeling his cheeks sore.
It's too awful. Zhang Rong's whole body sank into the ground like a nail, leaving only his head outside, and he had already passed out.
Leaving Zhang Rong and Zhang Rong alone, Wu Gen walked along the mountain road.
The stone walls on both sides of the mountain road gradually became smoother, which was very different from the potholes just now. There are more marks of weapons, poems and songs on these stone walls, but more of them are some formation diagrams.
Suddenly, Wu Gen saw someone carving two lines of words with a knife, "Zeguo Jiangshan enters the war map, how can people live in peace and happiness in Qiaosu".
This is completely different from the generous and domineering meaning expressed in other poems. It should be a warning to those who practice in Shenwu Academy not to engage in military violence and disregard human lives. In a battle that destroyed a country and exterminated a clan, many heads fell and many families were destroyed and people died.
After stopping for a moment, Wu Gen shook his head and continued upward.
Since ancient times, military battles have not been controlled by these military leaders. One general is nothing but a knife for killing people, and the person holding the handle is the culprit.
There are quarrels among close relatives in a family, let alone wars between a clan and a country. If you look through the history books, you will see that there are only a few years of peace, but the majority are wars of all sizes.
In prosperity, the people suffer, in death, the people suffer, and in the end the head of Guizhou bears everything.
While sighing, a small mountain pavilion appeared in front of him. There were two people in white and black sitting in the pavilion. There is a stone platform in front of him. There are many black and white chess pieces on the platform. The chess pieces are engraved with various patterns of cars, horses, birds, people, etc., and they are intertwined with each other.
The strange thing is that the two of them were sitting in front of the platform with their eyes closed. Wu Gen didn't understand the theory of chess, but seeing the man in black frowning, his face pale, and cold sweat pouring down, he knew he was at a disadvantage.
Suddenly, the man in black yelled, leaned back, fell to the ground, and fainted. The man in white also woke up from his trance. Seeing the condition of the man in black, he quickly stood up. He just took two steps, but he was exhausted and sat down on the ground.
Wu Gen lifted the man in black and placed him on the stone bench in the pavilion. Just as he was about to help the man in white, the man waved his hand gently and said with a wry smile: "A day's battle is so energy-consuming. It doesn't matter. Let's take a short rest." That’s good.”
"Then this senior brother..." Wu Gen pointed at the man in black.
"Don't worry about him. This man has always been very thick-skinned. He will be fine when he wakes up from his sleep." The man in white leaned on the pavilion pillar, closed his eyes slightly, and stopped talking. He was obviously extremely exhausted.
Wu Gen shook his head. He was really crazy about playing chess to be able to play like this. Seeing that nothing happened to the two of them, he turned around and continued upward.
After a while, a rather spacious school ground appeared in front of them. From the looks of it, two peaks were flattened and filled with soil to create this flat land. Behind the school grounds, rows of houses appeared, going up the mountain. This should be where the Shenwu Academy is.
The school field was in full swing at this time, with dozens of people practicing. Either they were boxing in a serious manner, or they were exercising with a training stone, or they were wearing rattan armor and sparring with each other's swords. Wu Gen couldn't quite understand what a group of people did.
These people all wore only one pair of trousers, and every four of them carried a wooden board. There are people sitting on the wooden board. Some two people are concentrating on playing chess, and some four or five people are drinking and mingling with each other.
These shirtless men were running back and forth along the school grounds carrying planks of wood. Even though he was running and jumping all the way, the distance between the board and the ground did not change at all, and not even a drop of wine was spilled from the wine bowl placed on the board.
It was amazing. After careful inspection, Wu Gen discovered that these shirtless people were breathing thick and long. Although they were walking in a hurry, the hands holding the wooden boards did not move at all. There was a sense of stillness in movement. This is very difficult. The movements and breathing need to be consistent, and the four people must cooperate with each other very well and breathe in the same pace. Only then can the people on the board not feel any bumps.
Suddenly, a wooden board tilted slightly, and a person on the board was holding a bowl to drink. When he shook it, the drink spilled on his face. The man was so angry that he reached for the whip on his side and beat the four people under him, cursing indiscriminately. The people sitting with him turned a blind eye and even laughed at the man holding the whip for his lack of strength.
Blood marks soon appeared on the bodies of those who were beaten, but they did not dare to say a word and allowed the others to whip them randomly.
Wu Gen looked at the scene in front of him, a little baffled, but it was hard to ask any questions. I just got here, and I don’t know why, so it’s better to cause less trouble. Looking at the tall courtyard gate behind the school grounds, there was no way around it, so Wu Gen had no choice but to walk onto the school grounds, preparing to cross it.
The eyes of everyone present were attracted, looking at Wu Gen up and down, their eyes seemed a little confused.
When Wu Gen walked to the entrance of the hospital, someone suddenly realized, "I heard that there is a new candidate on the waiting list. Could it be this person."
"That's not right. Since you are a newcomer, why don't you hold the door opener?"
"What is that good-for-nothing Zhang Rong doing down there? He can't even do such small things smoothly. He deserves to stand at the mountain gate for another year."
Ignoring the comments behind him, Wu Gen walked to the door. Two men in soap clothes were sitting in the concierge with their heads down writing something. Wu Gen stepped forward and said, "Two senior brothers, I am new here. I don't know where this certificate can be used."
"New here? Junior brother, please come in and meet Vice President Xiahou first." One person stood up and walked inside with Wu Gen.
Along the mountain road zigzag forward, there are small courtyards along the way. In the courtyards, there are racks of weapons, which are filled with swords, guns, swords and halberds.
Walking on the road, the huge bluestones are clearly covered with deep footprints, which must be the result of years of practice by the students in the academy.
A huge chessboard appeared in front of it. It was no smaller than the school field at the door. It was similar to the one the two of them were playing against in Shanting just now. The chess pieces half a man's height were placed aside, looking quite spectacular.
"Brother, what is this? Why do we still need to talk about it in the Shenwu Academy?" Wu Gen was inexplicably flustered. He only had six orifices for playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If he still had to practice this way in the Shenwu Academy, , which is really a bit embarrassing.
"This is a war chess, and you will be exposed to this way in the second year of admission." The person who led the way explained, "Shenwu Academy is not a place to train ordinary men. Generals must be familiar with strategies, hidden plans, and unforeseen opportunities of ghosts and gods. Heaven and earth Wonderful concealment.
Only when you lead troops in this way can you plan for battles and win. Otherwise, even a street gangster can become a general. As for how to use the war chess to fight, the junior brother will naturally know it after he stays here for a long time. "
Wu Gen felt a little sad after hearing this. When he went up the mountain, he watched the men in black and white fighting. This chess game was by no means a simple game. He might die from exhaustion.
Halls appeared in front of them, such as Xuanwu Hall, Lanke Hall, etc., with tall gates, carved beams and painted pillars, and eaves flying as high as swallows. This should be where students study on weekdays, and people come and go from time to time.
The further you go up, the more luxurious the pavilions become. The leader also restrained himself a lot when he arrived here, and whispered that this was where the master of the hospital and the deacon lived.
Walking into a somewhat simple courtyard, the leader knocked on the door gently.
"Come in." A slightly older voice came.
Entering the courtyard, there is only a two-story building. The courtyard is extremely simple, with only a stone table and a stone bench. The window on the first floor opened, and an old man with white hair and white beard and a clear face was writing something in the room.
We have already learned on the way that this person's name is Xia Houzhong, and he is the deputy director of the hospital. Since the dean has a lazy temperament, he, the deputy dean, is more responsible.
This person was born as a commoner, and he had to work hard all the way to reach such a position. He is an extremely upright man, conscientious in his work, and very disciplined. The students in the courtyard are a little afraid of him.
"Master Xiahou, the new junior brother has arrived."
The old man looked up, his eyes were shining, it was obvious that he had a lot of cultivation.
The old man took the voucher and looked at it. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Wu Gen. "Since it was introduced by the Imperial Master, just accept it. However, when you come here, you are all students. There is no distinction between high and low. You should guard the courtyard carefully." Follow the rules and don't be wild."
He paused for a moment and said, "No matter how big or small the rules are, it's better to abide by them to avoid bumpy roads in cultivation." He seemed to have some meaning in his words.
What else could Wu Gen say, he would have to be under the control of this person from now on, so he quickly bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Master, for the heads up."
The old man put down the pen in his hand, stood up and returned the salute, "After all, there are more warriors in the courtyard, so there will inevitably be some disputes. As long as you get along with your classmates and study hard, there will be no problem. After all, academics are the foundation of a life. In addition, Don’t try to imitate these tricks, I am the deputy dean, and the dean of Luo Bing dean is the one in charge, so don’t call me random names.”
"Students respect orders." Wu Gen quickly replied.
"Go ahead and make arrangements for food and lodging." The old man waved his hand and sat down at the table again, immersed in writing.
Carefully backing up and closing the courtyard door, the person leading the way took a deep breath and patted his chest after walking a long way away: "Master Ning Niluo, don't see Xiahou Zhong. Every day you see him, you have to say a few words." . By the way, Junior Brother Wu, this place of accommodation has its advantages and disadvantages. There happens to be a vacant courtyard in the first-class room, which is not far from here. I might as well live there, Junior Brother."
"But it costs money." Wu Gen asked quickly. If it cost too much, he would rather live in a woodshed.
The man laughed and said, "What are you talking about? Those who enter the Shenwu Academy will be generals in the future, and all food and accommodation are free. The decoration in the middle courtyard is up to each person. It is up to each person to come here. Most of them are noble people and have some good habits. If junior brother wants to buy something, senior brother can do it for him."
"Please tell me your senior brother's surname." Wu Gen accompanied him with a smile. This man looked pretty good. As the saying goes, big ghosts are easy to deal with, but small ghosts are difficult to deal with. These daily janitors, cooks, and errands may seem humble, but they cannot be offended at will. Otherwise, they may be tricked for no reason.
"Jiangcheng." The man was concise and took Wu Gen directly to a courtyard not far away. This place is quite spacious, with front and back yards, which is obviously much more spacious than those at the entrance.
