Huaiping City, Lingxi Courtyard.
As one of the two sects in Huaizhou, the subordinate forces of Lingtai Sect still occupy a huge area even in the second ring area of Huaiping City where every inch of land is precious, which shows its heritage.
To a certain extent, this is also one of the advantages compared to other martial arts schools. After all, the entry and exit room is the most prosperous neighborhood in the city, and you can find treasures from almost all over the world, which is very convenient.
As for the courtyard, which occupies a full tenth of Lingmiaofang, for such a huge building complex, the division of functional areas is very clear.
Generally speaking, the simplest division is the inner gate small building and the outer gate small building.
Among them, the small inner gate building has existed since ancient times.
After all, the law is not passed down to the six ears. In the past, the true teachings of martial arts only existed in wealthy families and sects' holy places.
Ordinary ordinary people and villagers in the countryside can probably only touch the Sanshou moves that are sparsely circulated in the outside world.
The methods of recruiting disciples of large sects are all cultivated from an early age. The first is to know the roots and enhance the cohesion of the sect, and the second is to lay a solid and stable foundation.
However, hundreds of years ago, due to the sudden emergence of the Realm, Emperor Huaiyuan of the Great Zhou Dynasty issued a decree and declared that after the martial arts spread all over the world, the number of casual cultivators in the world increased, and most sects followed suit and began to recruit people with skills as apprentices.
For example, the small outer gate building where Lin Mo and others are located is the product of this situation.
At this time, in the small building at the inner gate, the senior officials of the other courtyard were gathering together.
As a subordinate courtyard of the sect in the capital city, its importance is undoubted. Almost all the senior officials of the affiliated courtyard here have inextricable connections with the Lingtai main sect. It can be said that its status is extraordinary.
"This year, most of the people who come to be apprentices are foreign warriors, but there are a few good ones."
In the quiet room, Pei Yuandao pushed the roster in his hand to the center of the Fanni wooden reception table and said softly.
Lin Mo's name can be seen in the middle, ranked third, circled by a red pen, obviously marked with some kind of mark.
He looked at the other two people in the hall with a gentle smile on his face. In a happy mood, he tapped his fingers on the table.
When the two heard this, interest suddenly appeared on their faces.
One of the burly men with a red face stepped forward directly, held the roster in front of him, and looked at it carefully.
This person's name is Xue Rui, and he is one of the vice-presidents of Lingxi Villa.
"It's interesting. Sure enough, some good stuff came here. One person is only in his early twenties, and he has the cultivation level of the five internal organs. This kind of talent is rare among the inner sect.
One person is still a body cultivator and has practiced three body tempering secret arts. Although he is only in the Qi and Blood realm, in actual combat, even a master of the five internal organs realm cannot easily defeat him.
As for the last person... his understanding is extraordinary? One month to achieve Vajra Step? "
At the end of the sentence, the red-faced man couldn't help but raise his head and frown at Pei Yuandao, and then looked at the woman in palace clothes next to him.
"Junior Brother Yuandao, Senior Sister Yunying, is this son... the descendant of another senior brother or sister from our sect?"
In addition to doubts in his words, there was more helplessness.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, even large sects are no exception.
The Lingtai Sect's treatment is excellent. In this troubled world, it not only represents a profound lineage, but also represents a real place to settle down.
It's just that although it's good, it's extremely difficult to get started, and you have to be a real genius.
In the face of sect rules, even those sect bosses cannot stay away.
But people whose rules are dead are alive.
Don’t you need a genius? Then create geniuses.
The most convenient among them is naturally understanding.
Because like Lingtai Sect's affiliated colleges, for the disciples of the Outer Gate Xiaozhuzhong, after the identity verification is completed, the only hard conditions required are the three basic "shu" level prerequisite martial arts of Dacheng, and the completion time The shorter it is, the stronger the natural understanding is.
The operability is great here.
In the past, many juniors of big bosses, although not the best in talent, had already mastered the corresponding martial arts beforehand. When they entered other colleges, they were naturally familiar with it, had "extraordinarily strong understanding", and performed astonishingly, which made their teachers very helpless.
"I don't know about that, I didn't receive the message." Pei Yuandao shook his head.
"But according to my observation, it should be just a strong understanding." After he finished speaking, he thought for a while and then added.
"I haven't been notified by my senior brothers. No matter what, whether it's true or false, if you follow the rules, you won't make any mistakes." Yunying said softly, without any emotion on his face.
In her opinion, if it is true, it means that she has formed a good relationship with those powerful senior brothers. If it is false, it is good to act according to the rules and there is no fault.
"But if they are really related, wouldn't it be a pity for those disciples who have real talents and knowledge." Xue Rui sighed softly and looked at the roster again.
The fourth ranked person is also a genius in understanding, but he is a little bit worse. In one month, he was able to achieve great success. In the past, he was already very outstanding, but now compared with the former, he is much inferior.
"That's all." The red-faced man sighed softly, then picked up the pen and signed his name on this special training list.
...........
As the sun goes down, time flies by as I am immersed in martial arts training.
The day passed quickly, and except for some really hard-working people who were still practicing martial arts, most of them were ready to leave.
After all, people like Lin Mo and others who are in "adult education" are basically in their thirties or forties and have already started a family and started a business. Therefore, they do not live in dormitories, but rent a place to live outside.
Anyway, it’s the same wherever you practice. Naturally, it’s more comfortable to practice at home. Even if you’re tired, you have your wife and children with you.
Of course, more people go to restaurants to have fun and socialize.
After all, it is reasonable for most people to relax properly after a tiring day.
What's more, in Huaiping, there are so many good things in entertainment venues.
Most of them are not only beautiful, but also have martial arts skills. They are extremely flexible and can play in fancy ways. I heard that there are tricks similar to role-playing, which is naturally intoxicating. It is far from comparable to that of small towns outside.
However, Lin Mo has no such thoughts for the time being.
Because if he really goes, with his body, if he tries his best, only a woman with a high destiny can bear it, which is too rare.
And if you are careful and don't feel much, it's better not to go.
In fact, in his opinion, instead of thinking about being a foreigner, it is better to improve yourself, enter a higher-level circle, and find a more suitable partner.
'It's better to go home as soon as possible. '
He thought to himself, quickened his pace, and prepared to go out.
"Brother Lin, wait." At this moment, a cry came from behind.
Lin Mo stopped and turned to look behind him.
He saw an elegant man with a slender figure and a handsome face waving to him with a gentle smile.
This person's name is Zhang Long, and he comes from an extraordinary family. He is only in his early twenties, and he already has the cultivation level of the five internal organs. Even the qi is about to penetrate the five internal organs, and it is only one step away from reaching the six internal organs. Among them, he has the highest level and the highest talent. He is very strong and not arrogant, and has a good relationship with everyone.
"Brother Zhang, what's the matter?"
Reaching out his hand to stop hitting the smiling man, Lin Mo also smiled and asked.
Zhang Long walked up to Lin Mo, smiled lightly, then turned back and pointed behind him.
Where the hand pointed, there were three people standing, namely a strong man over two meters tall, an ordinary-looking man, and Huang Wan.
When the three of them saw Lin Mo looking over, they also smiled and nodded.
"Brother Jiang, Brother Shi and I want to form a small group to prepare for joining the sect in the future, to help each other, and to help each other. I specially invite Brother Lin to join."
The man in front of him spoke sincerely, his eyes were sincere, and he was not secretive. He was very fond of him. And the people in the small group were all the most outstanding people in the outer gate. They could be said to be an elite group. It was a pity. ....
"Thank you, Brother Zhang. It's a pity that Lin Mo is withdrawn by nature and is not used to making friends with others, so that's all."
After saying that, he cupped his hands and saw that Zhang Long was stunned and didn't know what to say, so he turned around and left.
If he were really an ordinary person, he might be happy to join such an elite team. After all, he could learn from each other's strengths and make progress faster, but he was not.
Based on his current situation, the enemy he faces should most likely be a true grandmaster-level opponent.
Sometimes the dragon does not live with the snake. In fact, it is not because of pride, but for the good of the other party...
Lin Mo sighed secretly, walked out of the door without any nostalgia, and no longer thought about whether the other party would think too much about it.
.
After Lin Mo's figure disappeared, Zhang Long finally came back to his senses. After thinking about it several times, he couldn't figure out the reason for Lin Mo's actions. In the end, he could only attribute it to some kind of social phobia and had no choice but to walk back.
"Lao Zhanzi is not used to making friends with others. He just doesn't like us. What can he say? But I can't figure it out. Shouldn't he learn something faster? No matter how good his understanding is, he can't do it in actual combat. Just punch him. Or die." The two-meter-plus strong man shook his head and expressed his opinion.
His name is Shi Yi. Although he is only in the Qi and Blood realm, he is a physical practitioner. He has practiced several martial arts. He is dressed in copper skin and iron bones, and has extremely strong actual combat ability.
I have competed with Zhang Long, who has a higher level of cultivation, and the two of them are equally qualified in a hundred moves, which means that they have the ability to conquer across borders, so they are qualified to say this.
"Maybe Senior Brother Lin just has some kind of eccentricity. After all, I heard that some geniuses, although they have amazing talents, have flaws. We should understand." The ordinary-looking man on the side said softly.
However, it seemed that he was trying to persuade him, but as soon as he said these words, in the ears of the majestic man, it was like adding fuel to the fire.
"Bullshit! What kind of genius and quirks are there? Brother Zhang Long, with such a good character, have you ever seen any arrogant behavior? Brother Jiang Jing, for example, you have an amazing understanding. I think you are no different from Lin Mo. How much, don't you treat others with humility?
Does it make him special? "Shi Yi growled in a low voice.
However, although he deliberately lowered his voice, his loud voice still attracted the attention of those who had not left.
Huang Wan on the side wanted to say something, but seeing the irritable Shi Yi, he knew that no matter what he said, it might add fuel to the fire, so he simply shut his mouth and planned to talk to Lin Mo when he had free time. See if you can ease the relationship between everyone.
Seeing this, Jiang Jing on the side raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and the next moment, he shook his head and let out a long sigh.
It seems very helpless.
..
the other side.
Lin Mo naturally didn't have so many psychological fluctuations in his heart.
He walked out of the courtyard and rushed directly to his residence.
Although there is only two links between the two places, the distance is not close. After all, Huaiping City is very big, and it takes a long time to walk to one neighborhood.
As expected of the center of Huaiping, even though all parts of Huaizhou are in chaos, the streets are still lively.
There were warriors walking around who were wearing short batons like him, there were also wealthy businessmen wearing expensive clothes, and there was even a person from another state whose appearance was very different from ordinary people.
Everyone looked calm, chatting and laughing, with no hint of urgency at all.
They seem to be talking about which restaurant has new dishes, which flower shop they plan to spend the night in, etc.
Sure enough, no matter where in the world, no matter how troubled it is, there are still people who truly enjoy peace.
Lin Mo shook his head, walked through the crowd, bought some food along the way, and continued on his way.
After walking for about half an hour, I turned a corner and saw another small market. Compared to the second ring road, it was much quieter.
He raised his head and saw the familiar archway with the words 'Tea Ceremony House' written behind it.
This is the place where he lives. As the name suggests, most of the vendors on the street sell tea. Of course, the tea sold here is not ordinary tea, but the spiritual tea that comes from the spiritual field.
Compared with Lingmiao Fang, although it is not as prosperous and just a small place, it is more suitable for living. Even the air has a touch of tea fragrance, which is why he chose this place.
Entering the tea ceremony workshop, it was very close to Lin Mo's residence, only a few hundred steps away.
Back at home, there was a newspaper-like note on the mailbox at the door of the courtyard as usual.
This was something Lin Mo specially paid to the landlord and asked him to place it.
As for the note, its full name is "Huaizhou Jian", its function is similar to that of a newspaper, and its issuing agency is indeed a government office.
He accidentally saw it while having tea in a teahouse. After realizing that it was somewhat useful, he simply ordered one.
However, it is an official newspaper after all, and most of the content mentioned in it is biased towards the Great Zhou Dynasty. As for incidents that undermine the majesty of the imperial court, although the page is very small and it is mentioned in just one stroke, it will eventually be written in it.
This is also the reason why Lin Mo is willing to subscribe.
Lin Mo picked up the newspaper, walked to the backyard, sat on a wicker chair under the tree, and shook out the light white newspaper that felt like mountain animal fur. A large section of content came into view:
'Recruitment; starting from July 23rd, the 48th day of the Qiguang Period of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all cities began to recruit soldiers. During this period, those who voluntarily serve in the military will be tax-free for their families for three years. Family members will be given ten taels of gold, one load of spiritual grain, and ten loads of rice based on their population. . '
The following is a detailed explanation. The treatment described in it is better. It is said that those with outstanding talents can enter the special military academy in Zhou Shengjun. It is similar to the military academy in previous lives. It provides free resources and exercises. After a certain number of years, they can directly join the military after they leave. hold office.
Just looking at this content, if Lin Mo had seen it when he arrived in this world, he would have jumped on it long ago.
He then looked down.
'On July 22, the 48th year of Qi Guang's reign, Taizhou suffered the largest flood in the past ten years. During this period, the city was locked along the Yangtze River, Ningya City was destroyed, and thousands of miles of swampland appeared. '
This paragraph did not introduce much, but it was only a few words, but it also made Lin Mo a little scared.
In Qianli Marsh, simple words may seem like nothing, but people with a little common sense will know that there are countless people displaced in the area.
He continued to look down, and most of the rest were imperial decrees and some recent major events, nothing new.
But just as he was about to put the newspaper down, he suddenly was startled.
I saw a small line of words written in the corner:
'On July 23, the 48th year of Qi Guang's reign, strange beasts appeared in Shuangquan County, Huaiping County, and thirty-eight people were killed. '
