Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes

The big lake is like a mirror, with occasional ripples reflecting the faint red of the distant sky.

The water is in Liangshan.

It is located to the east of Qiulong Mansion, between Qiulong Mansion and another Qianyang Mansion.

Liangshan is majestic, surrounded by water, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it gathered heroes from all over the five states and eight lakes. Gradually, it formed a huge force that could be called powerful not only in Qiulong Mansion, but also throughout Youlong. There are well-known bandit dens in every state and territory.

In Juyi Hall.

Tie Zongtang, the nine-foot-tall leader of Liangshan, nicknamed the King of Tota, held a messenger rhinoceros bird behind his back, after hearing the story about Chen Ku from the bird's mouth.

Then he turned around and looked at the many leaders sitting there.

In his words, he made no secret of his appreciation and regard for Chen Ku:

"This young knight named Chen Ku once defeated Pei Qingzhi in Baojiao County. I concluded that if this boy came to Qiulong Mansion, he would be like a hidden dragon coming out of the abyss and soaring into the sky. It would be an uncontrollable situation. , Sure enough, when he came to Qiulong Mansion, he was able to defeat the young master Zhou Li. The key is that he is only seventeen or eighteen years old this year. If he doesn't care about it, he will be like the second champion in the future. At that time, if the imperial court sends him to suppress bandits and becomes our enemy in Liangshan, who can control him? "

"Since my brother said so!"

Sitting on a high chair in the banquet, a man with a complexion like iron carbon, after drinking a bowl of water and wine, threw the sea bowl on the table and said in a loud voice:

"I'll go down the mountain right now and tie the people up!"

"Don't be reckless!"

Tie Zongtang said in a deep voice:

"What I need is for him to sincerely serve me in Liangshan and add another tiger general to my Liangshan. I am not trying to enmity with him. If you kidnap him directly, even if you ask him to go to Liangshan, he will be convinced but not convinced by me. "

How can it be so troublesome?

The black-faced man muttered something.

"Does the military advisor have any plans?"

Tie Zongtang finally looked at the scholar Lun Jin who was on his left, whom he regarded as his military advisor.

"Can I make him surrender to Liangshan?"

This scholar, who sits in the first position on the left hand side of Liangshan, is nicknamed "Mr. Tianji". He can do calculations, read people's horoscopes, and is very resourceful.

He silently deduced the word "Chen Ku" during the banquet for a moment, and said: "As the King of Heaven said, after the bad guy just took his name and decoded the words, he can get an evaluation: 'If this son enters the temple, he will rise step by step. Princes can live there; if they fall into the rivers and lakes, they will be like the dragons in the lakes, and they will be unparalleled heroes, and their future prospects will be limitless."

"Really?"

All the leaders in Liangshan felt awe-inspiring after hearing Mr. Tianji's comments.

This is simply because each of them has been tested by this military advisor, and they all know Mr. Tianji's abilities. His comments are almost never missed.

This is because this Mr. Tianji was born with a magical power called "Fate Observation", which allows him to see other people's fates and give evaluations.

Hearing this, Tie Zongtang said: "He can become a prince when he enters the court, and he can become a hero when he enters the country. The evaluation is indeed high, but seeing that he is only seventeen years old now and has such qualifications and foundation. If he can really achieve that kind of achievement in the future, he will It’s no surprise.”

"So, we have to drag Brother Chen up to Liangshan."

At this time, a man on Tie Zongtang’s right hand with a straight body like a spear said with solemn eyes:

"The reason is very simple. Although the current Epoch Dynasty only lasted for two emperors, it was still ruled by Emperor Taizong. On the surface, it seems that the world's five realms and thirteen provinces are singing and dancing, and the flowers are blooming. But this is actually just an illusion. In fact, The foundation of the Epoch Dynasty has long been unstable, and the building is on the verge of collapse.

We all know that in the land of Two Lakes in Jiangnan Road, Huang Xianke's Shence Sect has begun to follow Bei Yuan's example and openly raise a 'sect army'.

Looking at the boundary of Youzhou, Ping'an Road has occupied Baojiao County. In the past half month, the wave of troops sent by Qiulong Mansion has hit a wall.

There is also the Yuan Dynasty, which is eyeing the north and is frequently active on the border.

This Epoch Dynasty seems to be peaceful, but in fact it is just a piece of broken porcelain stuck together. If there is a strong wind, it will be torn apart and scattered in all directions. "

"What Grandmaster Lin said is that Daji actually has many signs of the last period of the dynasty. Generally, under this kind of dynasty reincarnation, unless there is a sage warrior lord and a shocking general and minister, it cannot be saved. ”

Another red-haired man came out and said:

"This Chen Ku is very similar to the young champion prince back then. If he surrenders to the imperial court and gets an important position, he will definitely become the first vanguard to lead troops to attack Liangshan in the future. We must make plans for him in advance."

"so……"

Tie Zongtang looked at Mr. Tianji and asked:

"The military advisor will make plans."

Everyone else also looked at the military advisor.

They have occupied this Shuibo Liangshan Mountain for fifty years. Over the past fifty years, what started as a small village has now evolved into the number one green forest force of the underworld that can dominate half of the state and influence the eight prefectures. Half of the credit must be attributed to this Mr. Tianji.

With his magical power of 'watching fate', he constantly replenishes Liangshan with various rare talents, attracts elites, and strengthens the mountain gate.

Take for example the upright Grandmaster Lin.

He was originally a martial arts master in the Qianyang Mansion in Youzhou who was older than Qin Yu in the Qiulong Mansion. It was Mr. Tianji who saw that he was going to have a "bad official career" and made a special trip to bring many leaders down the mountain to rescue him. After coming down, he was able to sit on a top position in Liangshan.

In addition, one-third of the people here who went to Liangshan also have an inseparable relationship with Mr. Tianji.

Mr. Tianji pondered:

"In these days, I call on all brothers on the mountain and down the mountain to collect more information about him, and I will formulate detailed plans."

With his fortune-telling powers, it is not difficult to identify talents, but how to get them to Liangshan is the key.

Over the years, some have been rescued, some have been dragged up to Liangshan, some have hid in Liangshan, and some... have been forced to go to Liangshan.

…………

Chen Ku didn't know that his existence had become important information on the desks of some powerful forces, and they had begun to formulate some plans against him.

After arriving at the house of an old martial arts scholar, he knocked on the door and waited for a short time.

Then he saw a little old man wearing a red coat and a goatee on his chin, walking over with a smile and his hands behind his back, and said:

"Chen Ku, you made quite a fuss, so I confirmed your scholar status. You have defeated Zhou Li, the first disciple of Qin Yuxian's sect."

"Are you Scholar Tang Lietang?"

Chen Ku felt the old man walking towards him. From the momentum alone, he felt that he had an unfathomable feeling, but he did not have the aura of aura brought to him by his master, so he guessed that this old man should It is the pinnacle of the Sixth Realm and half a step to the cultivation level of the Seventh Realm Yu Gang.

"The student scholar Chen Ku pays his respects."

He greeted him as a disciple, and then explained with a smile:

"It was just a discussion with my nephew. I didn't expect that it would reach Mr. Tang's ears in just half a day."

"It didn't just reach my ears."

Tang Lie smiled and said:

"Believe it or not, most of the people in the thirty-six martial arts guilds in the house have information about you on their desks. You are a seventeen-year-old invincible in six realms. Your potential is terrible."

"Mr. Tang is so complimentary." Chen Ku was polite, neither proud nor reserved.

"Okay, how can I say that I and you are also destined to be 'question masters' in the world of martial arts? Let's talk about it after we come in." Tang Lie invited Chen Ku to enter.

Chen Ku handed over his hand and after entering the old man's home, he was arranged to sit down by the old man.

"Thanks to senior, I can let this junior get the piece of Jiuli Yijia leaf. It's just a small thing. Please accept it, senior." Chen Ku simply prepared a gift.

Tang Lie took a look and saw that it was a plain bag made of a six-level demon and devil bird. It was not very valuable, but it was of some benefit to the elderly's health. He smiled, accepted it without saying anything, and said:

"I might as well tell you the truth. Over the years, many martial arts students have cracked the questions I asked. But I want to meet you. The reason is very simple. You are growing too fast and your future is limitless. , I want to deal with you more, and I hope that if you really become successful in the future, you can have an impression of me in your heart. "

"So, let's get straight to the point, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Chen Ku was slightly stunned. He didn't expect the old man to speak so straightforwardly, so he coughed and said with a smile: "Since you always speak so straightforwardly, then I won't say anything else. I want to ask, junior." How can I be promoted from a martial arts scholar to a martial arts examiner in a short period of time? Is there any other way besides the annual imperial examination?"

Tang Lie looked at Chen Ku and thought of his current cultivation level. He nodded secretly and said:

"Wu Temple Imperial Examination, both Wu students and Wu Xiucai have an easier time. They open the subject to get students. But if you want to further become a 'seventh grade examiner', there are two ways. One is to participate in the 'government examination' that is held every three years. It is for the imperial examination system. Twenty candidates will be selected, but the next 'government examination' will be in two years, so you should be asking about the second method, which is: the inspection system."

"Inspection and examination system?" Chen Ku asked: "What is the content of this examination? Is it also the world of martial arts?"

"The Chaju system is a recommendation system handed down from the ancient dynasty. In the Confucian Temple, it is called 'Ju Xiaolian', which means 'to support the world with culture and education'. In our Martial Temple, it is called 'Ju Jianluo', which means, ' Use force to control chaos."

Tang Lie said:

"In addition to the imperial examination, the Wenwu Temple also has ten quotas for the imperial examination system every year. We will not talk about the content of the Confucian Temple's examination of filial piety and integrity, but only the content of our Wu Temple's examination to fight the rebellion. As the name suggests, it requires the merit of 'pacifying the rebellion' , if you have such qualifications, you can be recommended as a judge."

"Putting down the rebellion?" Chen Ku took a breath and asked subconsciously: "You are not asking people to put down the Ping An Dao rebellion in 'Baojiao County', are you?"

"Suppressing the Ping An Dao rebellion in Baojiao County?"

Tang Lie immediately shook his head:

"No, no, no, it's not that outrageous. Two days ago, our commander-in-chief, Mr. Zhao Qiansong, personally took over Captain Ye Zhong's Shenji Battalion, and formed another 10,000 troops to recapture Baojiao County. , As a result, even the gate of Baojiao City could not be penetrated.

This shows how difficult it is to regain Baojiao County.

If the recapture of Baojiao County is really regarded as a "chaju" achievement, then this achievement must be at least worthy of a "grandmaster" or even a Jinshi! "

Chen Ku breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

He was really afraid that the requirements for being promoted to a juren were such outrageous conditions.

"What about the inspection system, what are the conditions for being promoted to a 'military examination'?" Chen Ku asked subconsciously.

Tang Lie seemed to be waiting for Chen Ku to ask this, so he took out a folded book from his waist and said:

"These are all the merit books of the martial temple that can be recommended as 'martial arts'. You may have heard that there will even be 'martial arts' rewards for completing certain tasks here."

Chen Ku opened it, glanced at it, and saw the top ten merit books in it.

Ranked No. 1: Destroy Shuibo Liangshan

His heart twitched slightly.

It was the Shuipo Liangshan Mountain, where Tie Zongtang, the tower-holding king, who was the number one underworld figure and whose reputation was slightly higher than that of his senior brother Qin Yuxian. After hearing about this place that day, he went to inquire about it.

It is said that there are now fifty-four chairs in Liangshan Mountain, which have attracted masters from all walks of life. The people sitting in the first ten chairs are masters of at least the seventh realm. (End of this chapter)
