Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

The sunset glow poured down like molten gold, dyeing the sky into a sea of ​​red flames.

As the clouds rolled and unrolled, it seemed as if a vermilion bird was flapping its wings. Golden and red light fell from the clouds to the earth, coating the bluestone road under the two people's feet with a layer of gilded light.

"Uncle, do you think you can win the championship?" Jiang Yiming asked on the way back: "If I win the championship, can I ride a horse in the street?"

"The list of martial arts exam will be released tomorrow, and we will know tomorrow!" Jiang Ning walked slowly with his hands behind his back, the dark patterns on his black suit faintly visible in the reflection of the sunset.

He didn't care much about being the top winner of the martial arts examination.

For him, capturing Wu Xiucai was enough.

On the one hand, you will gain fame and honor, and on the other hand, you will also be eligible to participate in the summer urban and rural examinations in prefectures and cities.

That's the point.

As for the champion of the martial arts examination in Dongling County.

In his opinion, it's just a nice-sounding title.

Moreover, since Yan Youjiao had received the same A-level evaluation three times as him, he also felt that his chances of winning the first place in the martial arts examination were very low.

Because the martial arts examination involves literary criticism, it is very easy to do some tricks.

And Yan Youjiao is the second son of Captain Yan.

With Captain Yan around, he didn't have any expectations.

Even if we don't mention that there was some rift between him and Captain Yan, he had intercepted and shot Cao Rong, a capable general under Captain Yan, halfway.

Just relying on the father-son relationship between Captain Yan and Yan Youjiao, it is guaranteed that Yan Youjiao has a 90% chance of winning the top spot in the martial arts examination.

Go home.

In the twilight, smoke from cooking rose up. Liu Wanwan stood in front of the door, the silver hairpin in her hair reflecting the sunset glow.

White mist was rising from the sweet and sour carp on the eight-immortals table in the front hall.

Faced with the sumptuous dinner that had been prepared long ago, the two of them ate with relish.

The martial arts examination lasted almost a whole day.

When you are hungry, you can only rely on the dry food you carry with you to fill your stomach.

Early the next morning, Jiang Yiming rushed into the courtyard barefoot.

The hem of his clothes was wet with morning dew, and there were gusts of wind.

"uncle!"

He rushed into the yard and saw a waterfall of light appearing above Jiang Ning's head, and light gushing out from the pores all over Jiang Ning's body.

"uncle!"

Jiang Yiming spoke again. Looking at the immortal and saintly Jiang Ning, his heart was filled with admiration.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.

"what happened?"

"Uncle, the results of the martial arts exam will be announced at 4:45 pm!"

Jiang Ning saw Jiang Yiming who was full of expectations and didn't want to say anything to dampen Jiang Yiming's interest.

"It's still early!" He glanced at the sundial again and continued, "It's only the morning hour, there's still half an hour left!"

"Uncle, if we go any later, we won't be able to squeeze into the front row to see the list of winners!"

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm here, I can naturally take you to the front row. It's a waste of time to go there early and wait for the results to be announced!"

"And you haven't even had breakfast yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yiming said.

"Then I'll go tell my mother to hurry up and prepare breakfast!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away.

Seeing Jiang Yiming so excited and excited, Jiang Ning couldn't help but shook his head, then smiled faintly.

The youth's vitality and energy made him feel that he was also infected by it.

Subsequently.

A red and black millstone expanded outward from his body.

The millstone rolled slowly, the red and black colors merged and also rolled slowly.

The roar of the surging flames and the sound of the bursting tide rang in my ears.

In the blink of an eye.

A wheel of water and fire completely covered his body.

"not enough!"

boom--

The water and fire millstones continued to surge and expand.

At this moment, the real and the imaginary meet and the real and the imaginary change.

After the water and fire millstone expanded to three feet, it reached its limit at ten feet in size and turned into a thick millstone that slowly rolled.

4:22 pm.

Jiang Ning and Jiang Yiming walked out of the door.

At this time, Xiao Doubao also clenched Jiang Ning's fingers tightly with his fist.

"You guys drive slowly!" Liu Wanwan reminded them.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about this! My uncle is here!" Jiang Yiming said.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'm here, nothing will happen to them!" Jiang Ning also spoke.

"Then go early and come back early!" Liu Wanwan said, and then said: "I heard that the champion of the martial arts exam will have a champion banquet. Ning, do you want me to prepare wine and food in advance?"

"No need!" Jiang Ning shook his head: "I probably have no hope of winning the championship! And even if I really win the championship banquet, there is no need to hold it at home. That is an official event."

"Uncle, I believe you can do it! No one is more qualified than me to be the champion!" Jiang Yiming on the side said seriously.

Jiang Ning smiled and said nothing.

Outside the school ground.

The results are about to be announced.

There are already huge crowds of people.

Some people come alone to wait for the announcement of the results, while others come with their entire family, waiting with great anticipation.

"Uncle, how can we squeeze in?" Jiang Yiming looked at the crowd in front of him and felt a headache.

"Follow me!" Jiang Ning said.

Then he bent down and picked up the little bean bun.

Then he walked towards the crowd ahead.

In an instant.

A gentle force spread from him, and the crowd began to part.

Seeing this, Jiang Yiming hurriedly followed Jiang Ning.

When the people who were driven by the true energy turned around and saw Jiang Ning, they all silently took half a step back to the side again.

Everyone who comes here practices martial arts, so how could they not see how clever Jiang Ning's methods are.

Especially since most of them had seen Jiang Ning win three A titles in the training ground the day before, they knew Jiang Ning's strengths and weaknesses even more.

After a while.

Jiang Ning, holding the little bean bun, squeezed to the front of the crowd, only ten feet away from the bulletin board where the results would be announced.

"Uncle, you are so awesome!!" Jiang Yiming squeezed out from behind.

Jiang Ning smiled and said nothing.

Simultaneously.

The commotion caused by Jiang Ning's appearance also attracted the attention of the two people across from him.

One of them was Yan Youjiao, the second son of Captain Yan.

The other person is Yan Youhu, the youngest son of Captain Yan.

"Third brother, congratulations! After today, you can finally be proud of yourself in front of father!" Yan Youhu said with emotion.

Then, there was silence in response to him.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at his third brother, and saw that his third brother was looking to the other side.

He also looked over.

His eyes then fixed.

It's him! !
Seeing Jiang Ning, he couldn't help but think of everything that happened in front of the Wuyuan Wulian Tower that day.

"Third brother!" Yan Youhu spoke again.

Yan Youjiao turned back slowly.

"Third brother, are you worried that he will take away the top spot?" Yan Youhu spoke again.

"I'm not worried!" Yan Youjiao shook his head: "He didn't beat me in the first three items, so it's impossible for him to surpass me in the essay score!"

At this moment, Yan Youjiao is full of confidence.

It seemed as if he was talking to his younger brother, but also seemed as if he was talking to Jiang Ning who was not far away.

"Uncle!" Jiang Yiming just opened his mouth.

Jiang Ning patted his shoulder and said, "Be patient, the results will be out soon! Whether you are the champion or not is not important to me!"

"Okay, uncle!" Jiang Yiming nodded.

A moment later, the closed fence door was pushed open, and an armored officer walked out.

Everyone's attention was instantly attracted by the cloth in his hand.

Some people's breathing became heavy, some people couldn't help but clench their fists, and some people looked extremely nervous. There were all kinds of expressions.

they know.

Their future lies in this small list.

An overall A-level assessment means that they have won honors in this military examination. Not only will they have more honors and fame in the future, but their status will also be completely different.

It also means that they still have the possibility to move up to become military examination candidates.

The officer came to the bulletin board and, under the gaze of everyone, he slowly climbed the stairs.

Then he hung up the yellow silk list in his hand and looked towards the sundial on the east side of the parade ground.

The results will be announced at 4:04 am.

As the sun slowly rises, the pointer of the sundial also slowly moves.

When the sundial needle pointed to four quarters past three in the morning, the armored officer suddenly struck the gong or drum beside him with one hand.

Amid the loud roar of the bell, the armored officer loosened the hand that was clenched around the yellow silk list.

In an instant.

The yellow silk list stretched out like a cloud dragon, and the ink characters shone like gold and iron in the morning light.

"how come!!!"

When Yan Youjiao saw the three big and bold names at the top of the list, a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

He clenched his hands immediately, and blue veins snaked like snakes between his clenched knuckles.

Yan Youhu, who was standing by, was also stunned.

"The champion of the martial arts examination is Jiang Ning!!" The officer's voice was as loud as a bell.

But before he could finish his words, they were drowned out by the exclamations of the audience.

"Sure enough, my guess was right, he is the leader!!" Someone showed an expression of wisdom in his eyes.

"This is impossible! Yan Youjiao is the son of a captain, and he ranked first in all three outfield games along with Jiang Ning. How could he not be the champion?" An experienced person spoke up, his tone full of incomprehension.

“I won! I won!!!”

"Haha! I got it too! I got it too!!!"

In an instant, cheers drowned out the discussions.

At this moment, Jiang Ning also showed a look of surprise on his face.

"Uncle! It turns out you are the champion!!" Jiang Yiming was very excited. He was not frustrated at all when he saw that he was not on the list.

His failure in the exam was expected.

The evaluation from the outside meant that he had no hope of taking away Wu Xiucai's fame.

Jiang Ning shook his head: "I didn't expect that! With Captain Yan here, this top spot can still be given to me!"

"Dudu, you're so awesome!" The little bean bun in Jiang Ning's arms also had bright eyes and was full of admiration.

Even at this little age, she also knew that Jiang Ning was at the top of the list.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled and pinched her chubby cheeks.

"Let's go, let's go back!" he then said.

"Okay!" Jiang Yiming nodded and followed Jiang Ning.

The crowd was immediately pushed away by an invisible force, and Jiang Ning took Jiang Yiming out of the center of the crowd.

the other side.

From the county gate.

A team was marching towards Jiang Ning's mansion with drums and gongs.

This was a team that went to the residence of the top winner of the martial arts examination to deliver the good news and a plaque.

Being the top winner in the martial arts examination is a huge honor.

When Jiang Ning and Jiang Yiming returned to their mansion.

I have seen many people and quite a few children gathered outside my mansion.

"Uncle, it seems that the team delivering the good news has arrived before us!"

Jiang Ning nodded: "That should be the case!"

"Young Master!" Lu Yi, who was waiting at the door, saw Jiang Ning appear and hurriedly came forward to greet him.

"Give these children some candy and copper coins!" Jiang Ning said.

"Yes, sir!" Lu Yi responded quickly.

Then he returned to the mansion to prepare.

Then the two of them stepped over the threshold and into the front yard.

"Higher, higher!!" Jiang Ning immediately saw Jiang Li who was constantly giving orders in the front yard.

Two workers were holding up a plaque to be hung just above the entrance to the hall.

On the black plaque.

The two big characters of "Kuaishou" are clearly "Kuaishou".

At this moment, Jiang Li's face was flushed with pride.

"Dad, Mom!" The little bun who was holding Jiang Ning's finger spoke first.

When the voice sounded, Liu Wanwan and Jiang Li turned around immediately.

"Brother, you're here at the right time!" Jiang Li's face was still flushed as he strode over.

Jiang Ning was happier than ever before because he had achieved fame and honor.

Even compared with this, the honor brought by Zhao Yulong's previous visit was actually greater than winning the first place in the martial arts examination.

But for him, gaining fame and fortune means something completely different.

"Brother, sister-in-law!" Looking at Jiang Li and Liu Wanwan, Jiang Ning also let go of Xiao Doubao's little hand and let Xiao Doubao run towards Liu Wanwan happily.

"Brother, the messenger who comes to announce the good news is already waiting for you in the hall!" Jiang Li spoke again.

Jiang Ning nodded immediately: "That person goes over first!"

"Okay!" Jiang Li nodded.

Enter the front hall.

An old man with a goatee and a moustache saw Jiang Ning appear and immediately stood up to greet him.

"Congratulations, Commander Jiang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man pulled out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Ning with both hands.

"Commander Jiang, tonight's banquet for the top leaders is on the eighth floor of Zhaixing Tower. It will officially start at 14:04 pm. Commander Jiang, please do not miss the time!"

Jiang Ning read the post and nodded: "I will definitely attend the banquet on time."

He knew that the banquet for the leaders was a tradition and custom.

Although he is not very interested in this, there is no need for him to be different!

And as far as he knew, at the banquet for the leaders, all the dignitaries who came to the banquet had to give gifts, and when added together, it was a considerable income.

Seeing Jiang Ning nod and take the note, the old man immediately swung his sleeves and bowed.

"The matter has been handed over. I will take my leave now!"

"Wait!" Jiang Ning said.

The old man stopped and immediately saw the silver note in Jiang Ning's hand.

"The envoy has worked hard on his journey here, please accept it!"

The old man secretly glanced at the amount on the banknote.

When he saw the face value was one hundred taels, a slight smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He took the banknote handed to him by Jiang Ning with both hands and put it into his sleeve quietly.

"Commander Jiang, you are so generous!!"

The old man then walked out of the front hall with a smile on his face.

at the same time.

Jiang Ning also heard the cheers of the children outside the courtyard wall and the pleasant sound of copper coins falling to the ground at the gate of the mansion.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

the other side.

In the big tent of the military camp.

"Father, I don't understand!!" Yan Youjiao clenched his fingers immediately, and the blue veins meandered like snakes between his clenched knuckles.

"You don't need to understand!" Captain Yan looked at his second son and said lightly.

"Father, I am your son!" Yan Youjiao's eyes were wide open and his tone was loud and clear.

"I know!" Captain Yan nodded.

"Since father knew, why didn't he help me!" Yan Youjiao spoke with a questioning tone.

"Since you know that I am your father, you shouldn't speak to me like this!" Captain Yan said indifferently.

"Father, I don't accept it! I don't accept it!!!" (End of this chapter)
