casket of old days

Chapter 156 Talent
On the southern plain of Lingzhou, there is a sudden peak piercing into the sky, connecting the sky and the earth like a pillar of heaven.

The mountains behind the peak are criss-crossed, with overlapping ups and downs, extending southward for hundreds of miles, dividing Lingzhou and Luozhou in the south into two.

At this time, Jiang Longyu arrived at the agreed location at the foot of the mountain in a carriage, and saw that more than ten people had already been waiting here.

When one of them saw Jiang Longyu, he immediately went up to greet him: "My lord, Huang Xiangyu, may I ask if your Excellency is the martial arts prodigy Jiang Longyu?"

Jiang Longyu nodded slightly, looking indifferent.

This Huang Xiangyu is not out of touch at all, he was originally the son of a wealthy businessman, he was used to intrigue and intrigue since he was a child, and he has developed a thick skin.

He even came a month earlier for the training towards Yaoshan.

He even met an officer on the mountain through the cook who went down the mountain to purchase ingredients.

After some bribery, I collected a lot of information in advance, and I even learned who participated in the training of Zhenmensi this time.

Among them, Jiang Longyu, the Eighth General of Xinghan, was the one he valued the most.

At this moment, he completely ignored Jiang Longyu's indifference, and wanted to take Jiang Longyu to drink a few cups of tea.

But Jiang Longyu said helplessly: "Oh... I only drink the spiritual water from Zulong Mountain. I'm not used to drinking other waters, and I will have diarrhea."

Huang Xiangyu smiled embarrassingly, and when he was about to say something to relieve the embarrassment, he saw a small flag of Zhenmasi running down the mountain.

The small banner of Zhenmagus is the lowest official rank in Zhenmagus, and the lower ones are ordinary soldiers.

The little flag walked directly in front of Jiang Longyu, and said respectfully, "This is Mr. Jiang Longyu Jiang, right? The room, food, and hot water have been prepared on the mountain. Please follow me, Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Longyu ordered: "Besides me, there is also my luggage."

Xiao Qi looked at Jiang Longyu's carriage and said, "Don't worry, I'll take it up for you personally."

Jiang Longyu reminded: "My luggage is in the back, probably more than ten carriages."

"It contains the ingredients, medicinal materials, incense, ancestral dragon mountain spirit water, clothes that I will use in the next half month..."

Jiang Longyu shrugged: "Don't look at me like that, I don't want to take it either, but it's all given by the emperor, what can I do?"

Seeing Jiang Longyu being picked up just like that, a young man walked beside Huang Xiangyu and said, "Who is this person? So arrogant?"

Huang Xiangyu glanced at the young man. He and this young man were old acquaintances. This young man was the head of the Changfeng Escort Bureau and a well-known young swordsman in the Escort Bureau.

Huang Xiangyu said: "Let me tell you, Li Chu, you don't even know the martial arts prodigy Jiang Longyu? He is the number one martial artist in the third realm, but counting the days, he is about to break through the fourth realm."

The young man named Li Chu said: "The number one martial artist in the three realms? You are wrong. I heard that he was defeated in Beiyue Mansion before."

Huang Xiangyu said: "Chu Qiguang from Beiyue Mansion, of course I know, but you only know one and don't know the other."

"Chu Qiguang defeated Jiang Longyu with a sneak attack, and Jiang Longyu is best at swordsmanship. Weapons cannot be used in the martial arts arena. These things have long been spread in Beiyue Mansion."

"That's why I said that Jiang Longyu is still the number one warrior in the three realms. But maybe this year he will be the number one warrior in the four realms."

Li Chu nodded and said, "No wonder you want to hug someone's thigh when you see him."

Huang Xiangyu said: "If we don't hug our thighs, can we rely on ourselves?"

Li Chuyi raised his chest and said: "Why can't it work? A man should be self-improvement!"

Huang Xiangyu just sneered: "Have you been to the capital to see the Wu Jinshi competition?"

Li Chu shook his head: "No, what's wrong?"

Huang Xiangyu said with a vicissitudes of life: "I have been to see it. In the past ten years, I have been to every Wu Jinshi competition."

"I was only 16 years old when I saw the Wu Jinshi arena for the first time. At that year, I had reached the first level of martial arts. I thought I was still a young genius. , the name may not necessarily go down in history.”

Li Chu nodded, that's what he thinks now.

"Later, my dad went to the capital to run a relationship, and took me to see the Wu Jinshi arena by the way."

"I still remember very clearly that the first scene I watched... one party was called Qi Baige, and the other was called Si Changhong."

"Both of them are masters at the fifth level of martial arts. The sky was dark and the earth was dark. The sound of fists and palms colliding was like thunder. The wind blowing from the palms would blow me down."

"I've never seen such a strong warrior make a move."

"At that time, I admired the two of them very much and wanted to be as strong as them in the future."

"But then I watched the second...third...fourth..."

"All of them are fighters from the fifth realm... There are more than 100 warriors from the fifth realm to compete in the entire martial arts exam."

"Each of them can trample me to death like a bug, and the talent of each of them is not inferior to mine, and many of them are even far beyond me."

"To this day, ten years later, none of them...I have been able to catch up."

"This kind of martial arts test, I have watched it three times..."

"And until the third session, the first five-level arena I saw... the guy named Qi Baige, he still didn't pass the Wu Jinshi exam."

"As for the other one named Secretary Changhong, who was admitted to Jinshi in the second session, he turned out to be a ruthless person, and he directly scolded the emperor for his excessive cultivation, the people's livelihood is in dire straits, and the government is abolished."

"Later, the emperor used Taoism to knock him down from the fifth level to the fourth level, and he hasn't practiced yet."

"Do you understand? Li Chu, our talent is very powerful in our hometown, but in the whole world... there are too many of us."

"Our talent is no longer enough for us to continue to maintain an advantage in this competition."

"And people like Jiang Longyu can easily break our limits, and it is inevitable to enter the Tao in the future."

"Innate talent, as early as the moment we were born, set an upper limit for our achievements."

"Only by working behind a genius like Jiang Longyu can we break through this limit."

After listening to what Huang Xiangyu said, Li Chu still looked stunned: "You... why haven't you said this before? What you said... I don't want to practice martial arts anymore."

"You still have to practice martial arts." Huang Xiangyu patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Otherwise you won't even be as good as me."

Then there were more and more people, and soon there were more than a hundred people.

Not only the trainees themselves came, but also the servants, grooms, and book boys they brought along.

All of them gathered together in groups, accompanied by bursts of noise, appearing in a mess.

Huang Xiangyu's eyes rolled around, looking around in the crowd, and suddenly his eyes fixed on a 15-year-old lonely boy.

He immediately went up and asked: "My lord, Huang Xiangyu, how dare I ask Your Excellency, Mr. Chu Qiguang?"

Chu Qiguang nodded, and Huang Xiangyu cupped his hands excitedly and said, "Young Master Chu beat Jiang Longyu and kicked the heroes of Beiyue in the Beiyue mansion. His martial arts talent is the best in the world. I have admired him for a long time."

"Also, after you returned to Qingyang County, you founded the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce, and swept the cotton spinning industry in the entire Beiyue Prefecture in a matter of seconds. Every time I hear it, I yearn for it."
