Clouds and mountain tops

"Mr. Zhou, okay, if I find it, I will give it to you first." Bailiqi replied.

Bailiqi was also thinking about whether he could go to the Pufa Temple this time to retrieve Master Huiyan's notes.

Because the Pufa Temple was not far from the capital city, he thought of asking the headmaster to accompany him there so that he would have a better chance of success.

That day, Baili Qi specifically asked Master Huiyan about the specific situation of Pufa Temple and some information about the relevant personnel there.

He was better prepared so that he could successfully retrieve Master Huiyan's notes this time.

Because this time it was organized by the general, the leader led the team personally, and he also brought an elder from the sect.

This elder is mainly responsible for the organization and competition work, and the leader himself is mainly responsible for contacting the general.

Because there can be no room for error in dealing with this great general, otherwise it might bring unexpected disaster to the sect.

The elder who was traveling with the head of the sect was called Ding Yixing, an elderly elder.

He is very experienced in organizing tasks, so the leader feels more at ease when handing things over to him. He basically doesn't want to get involved in these trivial matters.

Ding Yihang was originally the director of the martial arts department, but when he got older, he was appointed as an elder in the sect.

Therefore, he is very concerned about the people in the martial arts department. For example, he is very familiar with Bailiqi, a rising star in the martial arts department.

For some important matches of Bailiqi, he would go to the scene to watch in person.

Master Lu and his entourage arrived in the capital a day in advance and stayed in the inn specially prepared for them by the general.

Except for Baili Qi, the others in this group are all the most outstanding students in history. There are not many of them, only about ten students in total, and their ages range from 12 to 21 years old.

This is also what the general requested.

One for each age group.

All expenses are free in this inn.

As soon as Master Lu arrived, he was invited by the general to have a drink.

The rest of the staff stayed in the inn. Elder Ding stayed behind to protect these students.

Although this was an inn specially prepared by the general, some troubles were bound to occur, so Master Lu made such arrangements.

These students were all the best in history, but they got along very well with each other, which was somewhat beyond Elder Ding's expectations.

Normally, these people tend to be somewhat aloof in character, but when they are together they actually have a lot of fun chatting and laughing!

It turned out that many of these people had joined Elder Sun's team to hunt for treasure in Kunlun Mountain. After that experience, many of them became very familiar with each other, which was why they were so harmonious.

Moreover, during that treasure hunt, Bailiqi behaved very strongly and left a deep impression on these people.

Although his skills were inferior to most of them, Bailiqi was not inferior to them in character, and was even somewhat strong.

Baili Qi was not very interested in these competitions. His main purpose was to ask Master Lu to take him to Napufa Temple to retrieve Master Huiyan's notes.

He was not very interested in the conditions promised by the general. He felt that both the current army and the court were performing poorly in all aspects.

He doesn't want to work here for the time being. There are a lot of disputes in these places and people will live a tiring life there.

What he was most interested in was cultivation, and practicing the "Five Elements Kung Fu" as quickly as possible.

What Bailiqi thought about most in the inn was how to enter the Pufa Temple and how to deal with the various obstacles that might arise.

He now has some experience. It seems that nothing will go smoothly. There will always be some twists and turns, and all kinds of unexpected details.

It seems that no matter how well prepared you are, there will always be unexpected situations.

After Master Lu went out, he did not return to the inn until very late. When he came back, he was a little drunk, obviously he had drunk a lot of wine with the general.

But this is inevitable, because the general is a military commander, and military commanders usually have a good alcohol tolerance.

Besides, we still don’t know what the general’s purpose is in holding this martial arts competition, so it certainly won’t be a simple matter.

From the fact that Master Lu chose his entourage very carefully, it can be seen that this competition is by no means as simple as it seems.

When Baili Qi saw the master in this state, he temporarily gave up on talking to him about going to Pufa Temple.

The next day, Master Lu brought these students to an arena in the imperial palace, which was the place where the emperor watched various competitions, or in other words, the place where the emperor selected military talents.

This place is completely open, it's a whole venue, but there are some guardrails around the venue, and there is no cover on top.

Therefore, some competitions will only be held here when the weather is good.

The general was called Guo Guang. He was one of the regents appointed by the late emperor and also the most powerful one because he held military power.

Because the emperor was still young, the general had the final say on important matters in the court, and the other regent ministers had almost no objections.

This time, the general invited outstanding students from famous sects and well-known colleges across the country. These students were between the ages of 12 and 21.

A total of 20 students from 12 sects and 320 academies gathered here to hold a martial arts competition.

Finally, the first place in each age group will be admitted as deputy military attachés for internship.

His performance will be observed in the future. If he performs well, he will be directly transferred to a full-time position and serve in the military for training.

Because some of these students are still young, they can choose to continue their training in their original sects or academies. After their martial arts skills have been perfected, they can directly enter the army and serve as officers.

During the internship and work-study period, all salaries will be paid normally.

It can be said that such an opportunity is very rare. As a warrior, joining the army can be said to be a very good choice.

On the one hand, the treatment in all aspects is very high.

On the other hand, the status of these officials in the army is relatively high, and they may be awarded titles in the future, which means their status and treatment will be even higher, which is what most people dream of.

To give the simplest example, someone like Miao Qingtian, who had served as a soldier in the western battlefield for more than 20 years, was only slightly promoted recently.

It can be seen that it is still very difficult to get promoted in the military. Without outstanding military achievements, it is almost impossible to obtain a higher position.

So, when these people heard the general talk about these possible consequences, they were all excited. Although there were only ten places for these hundreds of people, they were still very excited.
