Seance [crossing]

But when the three of Lichen were dealing with Lijuan, Lihuang's disciple, they suddenly heard a voice, and everyone looked around, only to see that the speaker was an old man, standing upright with a hulking back and waist, standing on the spot. Beside Kang, he turned around and looked at Ruishou.

When the older brother heard the question, he immediately stepped forward and replied, "It was the little one who brought it here."

Hearing this, the elder couldn't believe it: "This Dangkang is the legendary beast of prosperity. It has only been seen in the world for dozens of years. This old man has lived half his life. This is the first time he has seen a living Dangkang beast..."

Seeing this, Li Yu hurried forward to salute: "Master!"

After the three of them heard this, they suddenly realized it. It was unbelievable that the man in front of them was Li Huang, who was over half a hundred years old. He hurriedly fell down and bowed down. The person is Senior Lihuang, please forgive me for being rude."

When Lihuang saw this, he just waved his hands and said: "Old man is just a small blacksmith in the world, he can't be called a master, let alone afford such a big gift." After saying that, the three of them got up.Then he asked: "You are the one who brought Kang to come, but how did you get it?"

Lizhen replied truthfully: "It was the two younger brothers who went into the mountain, hunted and set up a trap for ten days, and captured this beast. This time, I brought them here. The two of us wanted to participate in the selection of warriors in a few years, so we sent them to the mountain. Dedicate it to seniors as a bundle of apprentices!"

After Li Huang heard this, he was astonished as a heavenly man. He only said that this beast was extraordinary, and the two brothers managed to capture it by themselves. We can see that it is extraordinary in skill and bravery; after ten days of continuous pursuit of it, it was obtained. It can be seen that his endurance is extraordinary, and he is not a person who gives up halfway.Looking at his speech, sincerity and honesty, he must also be upright, and he has a good impression of the two of them.I also thought about the rumor that Dang Kang appeared in the world, which means that a capable person was born. Could it be God's will?Thinking of this, when he heard that the two of them came here to apprentice, even though they didn't agree on the surface, they agreed to it half to eighty percent.

Then Li Huang said to the two brothers: "Since Dangkang is a legendary auspicious beast with divine nature, how can it be something that mortals can raise? What's more, heaven has the virtue of good life. You two will be Dangkang later." Take them outside the city and release them."

After hearing this, the Lichen brothers had no choice but to respectfully agree.Then Li Huang saw Li Ai standing behind the two of them in a blink of an eye, and said, "You two brothers can stay here, but I don't know why this girl is here?"

Seeing that the two of them had a home, Li Ai was afraid that he would be turned away, so he urgently replied: "I came here with the two of them, and I also want to be a teacher!"

But Na Lihuang said: "This old man is a blacksmith who only knows a little bit of boxing and kicking. The two of them came here because they are chosen by warriors. However, the girl is a girl, so she should learn how to cook at home. Come to this old man, and she can do it again. What skills have you learned?"

Li Ai got busy when he heard this, but said that before coming here, the three of them were only worried about whether his two brothers could be accepted by Li Huang, let alone thinking about their own way out.Unexpectedly, the apprenticeship went very smoothly, and he became an outsider, not knowing how to deal with himself.In desperation, Li Ai looked around in a panic, thinking about how to deal with it.When his eyes inadvertently passed the piles of ore placed near the gold-plated scattered gate, he had a flash of inspiration and said in his mouth: "Senior, don't underestimate people! When the daughter of the people was at home, she didn't take the needle cook I am the only daughter in my family, and my parents raised me as a kid, and taught me some hunting skills and knowledge of weapons..." As he spoke, Li Ai walked to the side of the ore, pointed at the dry rocks, and The same classifies and classifies the characteristics of various ore names, without any confusion and accuracy.

Na Lihuang was very surprised when he saw this scene, and immediately asked: "Who is the girl? How did you know these ores?"

Li Ai replied simply: "It's not a big deal. My father knows how to forge. I forged bows, crossbows, knives and swords for the villagers, so I was taught the relevant knowledge..." After saying that, Li Ai immediately knelt down and said to him. Li Huang kowtowed and said, "If senior doesn't dislike Li Ai as a girl, and it is still usable, please accept Li Ai, Li Ai is willing to join the seniors in the shop and pretend to be senior..."

Li Ai only hoped that this place could accept him as a buddy, but he heard Li Huang say from above: "I have grown older in recent years, and I gradually feel that I can't do what I want. I still have one or two forging skills in my hand, and I haven't chosen a successor yet. I see that you are not an ordinary person, and you are a talent for forging, and I want to accept you as an apprentice and pass on this gilded and scattered signboard."

After Li Ai heard these words, he felt like a windfall from heaven, it was an unexpected joy, and he hurriedly kowtowed to Li Huang in front of him again and again.The Lichen and Lizhen brothers here are also overjoyed, this way, the three of them can finally practice together.

Let's not talk about it, the three of them practiced under Li Huang, they all worked hard day and night, and within a short time, they had already caught up with their senior brother Li Juan.Every day is like flying, and five years are like an arrow. The selection of this year's warriors is about to begin.During this period, Lizhen and Lizhen stayed together day and night, and their relationship became stronger day by day.But Li Chen was silent when he saw this from the side.

The day for the selection of warriors has come, and people from all over the country come to Yicheng in an endless stream. Although many of them come to participate in the selection of warriors, more people take advantage of this time when the population gathers to bring their family supplies with them. Come to Jicheng to trade.In the south of Jicheng, a special trading place was set up, called Dashantang, which needs no further description.

The selection of warriors is divided into four competitions, each competition is a [-]-[-] elimination, and the fourth round directly determines the final winner.In the first round, all the testees were divided into several groups, and two teams competed in fist and foot martial arts, and the winners entered the next round.The second game is a mountain climbing competition. As the name suggests, it is a contest of foot strength.Because the day-by-day journey is where the ancestors chased the Golden Crow eastward on foot, and it would be difficult for them to do it without their excellent footwork, so in the selection of warriors, the second competition is the most important.Usually, the Yinshan Mountain in the north of Jicheng was chosen as the test location, but this year, due to the appearance of the Xuanwu formation, the Lord had ordered the Yinshan Road to be closed a few months ago, so this time the competition had to be changed, and it was changed to be in Jicheng. Yangshan in the south is held.Compared with the Yinshan Mountain, the Yangshan Mountain is tall and majestic, but the road is difficult, which actually tests everyone's endurance even more.As for the people who came from far away from the city, they didn't know anything about the change of the test site. Thanks to their mentors, the Li Chen brothers had a lot of connections and knew the inside information of the test, so they could prepare in advance to deal with any changes. .The third game is to compete the hunting skills of the people. They go up the mountain with bows and crossbows. From the beginning of sunrise to the end of sunset, the person who hunts the most prey wins.The fourth game is a competition of force among the remaining people, who are eliminated one by one, and the winner is awarded the title of warrior.

In this trial, Li Chen and Li Zhen easily passed the first round.When it comes to the second scene, it is necessary to start climbing from the north of Yangshan Mountain, climb to the top of the mountain, and then descend from the south of the mountain.Everyone prepared enough dry food and water for the journey.According to the usual practice, everyone lives at night, and they can rest and eat during the day.Only his two brothers walked around day and night, only went to places where there was water to get drinking water, took a break for food, rested for a while, and then went on their way again, refusing to relax at all.The two of them did not rely on their footsteps to be the fastest, but relied on their persistent endurance. They rested less and ran more than the others, and finally left behind those who had surpassed the two of them and reached the finish line first.

In the third hunting competition, the two of them followed the advice of their master Li Huang, since they were comparing the number of prey they could harvest, they only chose the ones that were easy for them to hunt.At that time, when the geese were migrating from the south to the north, the two brothers aimed at the flock of geese in the air and shot dozens of them in a row. All the methods were mastered, so both ends gained a lot of fruit, and it didn't take much effort to enter the finals.

There are not many people who entered the fourth round this time, and everyone draws lots to fight in groups and eliminate them one by one.This time, after only two rounds, he didn't expect that the two of his brothers were drawn to the same group duel. In this way, one of his brothers would be eliminated from the competition.

In front of the plaza with the statue of Kuafu, the fourth competition was going on. There was a sea of ​​people on the plaza, and the onlookers were like a wall of people, completely enclosing the ring in the center.Everyone saw that the two confronting each other in the field had a good face, knowing that they were not natives of the capital, they were all shocked.There was a lot of discussion among the crowd, all they said was that this competition of warriors is about selecting the best among the best, without connections and shortcuts, it would be difficult to win out of the crowd, so for many years there were very few people from other cities who could win.Some of them recognized that the two brothers were under the door of Lihuang, the shopkeeper of the gold-plated patchwork, so they were able to come here in one fell swoop.After the people around heard this, Fang agreed one after another, praising the two of them as really extraordinary.And Li Ai also came to this square early to seize a favorable position, just to watch the decisive battle between the two of them, and after hearing the discussion of the crowd, he felt elated and elated.

And the two brothers who are rivals this time are also full of emotions and have their own thoughts. The only way is that since they were young, the two have been of one heart and one mind, and work together for a common aspiration. In the past, you win and I win , Who would have thought that until today, there is a situation where you have no self.With the sound of Jinming coming from the ears, the battle between the two began.It is still an unarmed competition, and the person who is subdued will be judged to lose.But he said that the strength of the two brothers was hard to tell, and this time they compared each other with all their strength. Li Zhen said to Li Chen: "Brother, we have practiced together these years, although we both praise our father. The stick is the goal, but I don't know the strength of each other. I thought that the two of us would have to defeat the other opponents before we could compete in the final. I didn't expect the two of us to decide the winner so early. This time we had to rely on Let's do our own thing, and forgive me for being rude!"

As soon as this remark came out, Na Lizhen immediately attacked Lichen who was opposite him, and the attack was so fierce that there was no room for negligence.Lichen also tried his best to fight, the two fought in one place, you come and go, it's very intense.Lichen didn't expect that although Lizhen was a little younger than him, but he had practiced for many years, his skills and kung fu were not inferior to his own, and he didn't give in too much in this fight.During this period, Li Chen was not paying attention, and accidentally revealed a flaw. Li Zhen watched carefully, and suddenly attacked the lower body. Arm clamped, unable to move.

Seeing that he was restraining Li Chen, Li Zhen was also overjoyed, raised his eyebrows and smiled at Li Chen below him: "Brother, this time, I shouldn't have neglected my younger brother, but my younger brother found a loophole and defeated him in one fell swoop!  … ..."

At the same time, the onlookers saw that Lizhen's victory was in sight, and they all cheered and cheered, and even Lizhen, who was pushed around in the crowd, couldn't help being happy for Lizhen.Only Li Huang, who was beside Li Ai, said: "Chen'er is not in a good condition today, and she seems to have something on her mind, that's why she was so easily restrained..."

And Lichen who was restrained heard Lizhen's words on his head, but didn't answer, just lowered his head, unable to see what he was thinking.Seeing that he was silent, Li Zhen didn't know why.Unaware of the sudden turn of the situation, Li Chen suddenly stretched out his hands, clamping Li Zhen's arm that was imprisoning him like iron claws, with a sudden force, he broke free from Li Zhen's shackles, turned over and jumped up, standing up Facing Lizhen, he threw a shoulder throw with lightning speed, the movement was done in one go, and Lizhen was not allowed to recover. upside down.

This change happened suddenly, which caught everyone off guard and was unexpected.Li Chen stepped up to Li Zhen, said coldly and condescendingly: "Brother Yu, what you said just now, brother Yu will give it back in full. Before this, brother Yu thought that God treats all beings equally. Bias; if one loses one thing, another will be given as a gift, and it is generally equal. However, until one becomes a warrior by practicing together with the virtuous brother, one will know that God also has biases, just like the virtuous brother, who has a favorite With the person in his arms, at the same time, he is delusional about adding glory to himself, and realizing the dream of the whole country..." At this point, Lichen snorted coldly, and Fang turned to Lizhen who was lying down again, and continued, "You know that there is no such thing in the world. Such a cheap thing, this bragging stick, brother Yu gambles everything, he is determined to win it, even a virtuous brother will not hesitate to give up!"

When Li Zhen heard the words, his mind was in a trance, and he felt that something that he hadn't understood all these years was suddenly solved in his heart, but he still seemed to know nothing.He struggled to raise his upper body and watched Li Chen walk to the referee's seat. The referee announced that Li Chen had won, and the crowd cheered like mountains and seas. Among the crowd, only Li Ai covered his mouth while facing himself on the stage. The crying scene stood out from the crowd...
