I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 34

"As for the township examination in August, I will not participate in this session."

"Wait until the next township exam, and then take the exam."

Wei Tu secretly thought.

In a short period of time, it is difficult for him to improve and break through in his health-preserving skills and Tiger-Crane Shuangxingquan.

It's different from Taoism.

The rural martial arts are even more brutal. Not only are there references to the martial arts scholars of today's science, but there are also references to previous martial arts scholars...

These martial arts talents of the older generation, hidden dragons and crouching tigers, are not necessarily worse than some martial arts masters.

Even if Wei Tu participated in this rural martial arts competition, it would be difficult for him to get a good ranking.

The ranking is related to the tenure of the local military attache.

There is only one chance.

But wait three years before referencing.

At that time, he had been practicing health-preserving skills for five years, and he was bound to enter the state of feeling qi. With the blessing of internal martial arts, he was expected to win the top ten rankings in the rural martial arts exams.

……

Five days later.

Qingfeng Mansion.

Inside the Wugong Academy, on the school arena.

"Wei map of Qingfeng Mansion."

"Deng Sandao from Tonglin Mansion."

Wei Tu clasped fists and saluted with the martial artist on the opposite side, saying each other's names.

After saluting, the two went to the weapon racks beside them and picked out the weapons they were most comfortable with.

"What a fierce sword technique." Just as Deng Sandao took away the Jiuhuan Dao from the weapon rack, Wei Tu stepped forward and charged towards him like a fierce tiger leaning over in the forest.

While sprinting, the three-foot-seven-inch black long knife in his hand swung into a sharp semicircle, slashing towards his shin.

Seeing this, Deng Sandao's eyelids twitched slightly, he hastily stepped back two steps, opened the distance, and held the knife to block.

The two bladeless knives collided instantly.

Deng Sandao's right hand was numb from the shock, but he also took advantage of this, and he lowered his body and rolled to Weitu's left. The Jiuhuan Dao in his arms stabbed upwards obliquely, and the tip of the knife was facing the weak point of Weitu's left leg.

however--

Wei Tu seemed to have expected this, he didn't dodge or dodge, turned over like a kite, soared into the sky, changed the number of saber techniques, and danced gracefully on the water like a white crane.

The sword technique extended by the Tiger Crane Double Form Fist not only has the swiftness of a tiger, but also has the agility of a white crane.

After dozens of strokes.

Deng Sandao was careless and didn't react to the change of Weitu's saber technique. Weitu took a break and kicked him off the stage.

"His sword technique has improved even more than in the county and government examinations."

In the audience, Wei Fei, who was in the same county as Weitu, frowned secretly when he saw this scene, wondering if his guess in the county test was correct.

It took him two months to achieve such an accomplishment in swordsmanship, he couldn't believe it.

……

at the same time.

on the other side.

On the high platform on the south side of the Wugong Academy, the purple-robed official sitting in the middle of a crowd of scarlet-robed and green-robed officials smiled and nodded after seeing the wonderful fight of the martial artists in the audience.

"This year's Taoist test, the martial arts masters participating in the martial arts are much better than the previous ones."

The purple-robed official said with emotion.

"This is all thanks to you, Wang Futai, after you took office in Shannan Road. If it weren't for you, Wang Futai, who urged all prefectures and counties to select martial artists and focus on training..."

"Shannan Road is not as prosperous as today's martial arts."

The scarlet-robed official on the side boasted.

Under the rule of Zheng Guo, there were two capitals and thirteen provinces.

Shannan Road is one of them.

And the "Wang Futai" in his mouth is the second-rank governor in charge of Shannan Road's military affairs.

Rao is in the state of Zheng, so he can be regarded as a high-ranking and powerful person, a real important member of the court.

"In my opinion, this official can only account for [-]% of the credit, and the other [-]% is from the Wuyun Building..." Governor Wang glanced at the scarlet-robed official beside him, with a faint smile on his mouth, and said, "I heard that the few martial talents selected in the last Taoist test were not appointed as officials, but entered the Wuyun Building and became disciples of the Wuyun Building?"

"Wu Yunlou has many traces in Qingfeng Mansion. I wonder if He Zhifu knows about this?"

he asked.

"This matter... this matter... I really don't know..." Zhifu He shook his head and denied it immediately, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead when he heard Governor Wang's questioning.

In fact, as the magistrate of Qingfeng Prefecture, the capital of Shannan Province, he still has a little understanding of "Wuyunlou".

It's just that the Wuyunlou sect is not under the control of the government, and has taken in many warriors...

since ancient times.

Heroes are forbidden by martial arts.

The existence of the Wuyun Tower is a provocation and threat to Zheng Guo's government. If he answers that he knows the Wuyun Tower, it is an admission that he has poor jurisdiction over the territory and is suspected of dereliction of duty.

"Forget it, since He Zhifu doesn't know, then I won't force you to ask any more." Governor Wang shook his head, and turned his eyes to the arena of the school competition.

"The lower official has a way to find out some information about Wuyun Building..." He Zhifu felt tense when he heard Governor Wang's words, so he quickly added this sentence.

"How?"

Governor Wang squinted his eyes, and looked at Zhifu He - he was tall and tall, with a square face, a short beard under his jaw, and also trained in martial arts.

This is the official authority he has raised for many years!
"Since this Wu Yun Building likes to invite previous Wu Xiucai to join their sect, then we can also lure Wu Xiucai with good aptitude to join Wu Yun Building... to inquire about information for us..."

"Warrior masters are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, so they should know how to choose..."

He Zhifu pondered for a moment and said.

Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is the principle of righteousness, and it also has the temptation of official positions and fame and fortune. He doesn't believe that these military talents will choose to betray the government and plunge into the organization of Wuyunlou.

"This move is also a way." Governor Wang nodded slightly, stroked his short beard, and agreed with He Zhifu's words.

Jianghu sect has always been a confidant of the imperial court. If he can eradicate Wu Yunlou, a martial arts school that has been entrenched in Shannan Road for many years, this can be regarded as one of his achievements as an official in Shannan Road.

……

After participating in the Taoist test and competition, Wei Tu returned to Shan's house, waiting for the Wugong Academy to announce the results.

He is confident in his martial arts results this time, and believes that even if he can't rank among the top ten in this martial arts test and become a first-class martial arts scholar, he can at least become a second-class martial arts scholar.

After all, when he was in the Qingfeng Mansion Examination, he ranked sixth in the martial arts.

And Qingfeng Mansion is the capital of Shannan Road, where elites gather. Whether it is literary or martial arts, the number and quality of talents produced by Qingfeng Mansion are all first-class.

The leader of the martial arts test has been reelected by the warriors of Qingfeng Mansion for three consecutive times.

"Brother Wei, the servants and officials from the mansion have come and are waiting in the living room to take you to the mansion..."

On the evening of the last day when the rankings were announced, Shan Yangong knocked on Weitu's door and said anxiously.

since ancient times.

People are afraid of officials.

The eight-character yamen opens to the south, so don't come in if you have a reason and no money.

It's reasonable to be afraid.

What's more, Wei Tu is "unreasonable" and his bottom is not clean.

This time, Wei Tu was summoned by the officials of the government office...letting him go to the government office...there is a very high probability that it is not a good thing...

Shan Yangong was worried that Wei Tu had cheated in the county examination this time, and this caused the government to send people to Shan Zhai to "interrogate".
