Martial Arts: My Proficiency Panel

In the scorching summer, it was time for Guiyuanmen to accept disciples once every two years.

A long line of carriages appeared in the vast mountains. At the front was the smallest number of exquisite carriages, which were gorgeously decorated and pulled by tall horses with shiny coats.

Behind them is the usual black-painted carriage drawn by yellow puma horses, marked with the unique Pengniao logo of Guiyuan Gate, and there are often more than a dozen people in a cart, crowded together.

The former are the sons of some dignitaries, because the Guiyuanmen and the imperial court have reached an inexplicable tacit agreement, the dignitaries who are related to the Guiyuanmen have quotas, and they can send their young heirs to learn martial arts, or enshrine a large number of Guiyuanmen. The households of merchants with money can send their children to learn martial arts every time they go to Guiyuanmen to accept apprentices.

They are outer or inner disciples as soon as they start, because they also have some internal skills, can learn advanced martial arts, and do not lack money, and they are the upper class of inner disciples as soon as they start.

And the people in the carriage behind are either people who have paid some money and come to Guiyuanmen to learn martial arts, or they are half-grown children who have been selected with some talent and basically have no martial arts foundation. Only when one has accomplished some martial arts can one formally become an outer disciple and receive the inheritance of inner strength.

The latter is the normal process of accepting apprentices in general martial arts sects. They collect money and then test their qualifications. Those who pass are left to start from the bottom and cultivate step by step. Basically, they will be tied to the sect for the rest of their lives.

There is another way, that is, some gifted children met by masters in the sect when they travel, will give tokens, and then they can use the tokens to enter the mountain gate.

But this is a minority after all.

The convoy walked towards the mountain gate unhurriedly, led by a man with a big arm and a round waist and a short fat man, and the two rode ahead and chatted.

The fat man had a haughty look on his face. If this person wasn't a decent person, he wouldn't want to chat with him alone, especially when he was about to arrive at Guiyuan Gate and his wallet was full.

The man was respectful to the fat man, and skillfully stuffed a small bag: "Guan Li, my nephews and nieces, I will ask you to take care of them more in the future."

He is from the Wu family in Jianzhou. The Wu family is a wealthy family that enshrines the Guiyuan Gate with money. This time there are two high-quality children born in the family, so he was arranged to escort them.

When receiving Manager Li, the Wu family had already taken care of it, but these were all previous things, and each had its own calculation.

Manager Li weighed the bag, and his expression relaxed a little.

"It's easy to say, those two young people have good roots, and if I tell the higher-ups, they will definitely be able to enter the inner door."

Although being able to enter the inner door mainly depends on talent, but there are many doorways inside. If you don't manage it well, it doesn't matter, and you will get stuck.

So the man surnamed Wu felt relieved when he heard this, and started flattering Li Guanshi again.

The predecessor of Guiyuanmen was the sect of Demonic Dao, and most of the martial arts in the school are sinister and vicious, even the style of doing things is the same.

Ever since Li Yunhengkong was born, he had gained a great reputation, took over the sect and changed its name to Guiyuanmen, and got rid of some bad habits.

But the tail is too big, the habits of the Demon Sect are deeply ingrained, and it cannot be completely cleaned up after more than ten years. Many masters in the sect practice special exercises that require living people to practice, and these handymen, and even the disciples of the outer sect, if they make mistakes, they will also be destroyed. It is possible for the practitioners to pile up.

The man surnamed Wu often interacted with these expatriate members of the Guiyuan Sect, and he also knew some inside stories, so he scattered his wealth many times, only asking his descendants to enter the inner sect.

Only when they enter the inner sect can they be regarded as truly valued by the inner sect, and they will not be easily killed. As long as they do not make serious mistakes, they can be punished lightly.

In the final analysis, it was because their family was just a family of merchants and they didn't have much background, so they could only curry favor with those who were not in high positions but had some power.

The man surnamed Wu thought so, the gate of Guiyuan Gate was in front of him, and the group stopped there.

He went down to pick up his two juniors, but Guanshi Li, who had been talking to him before, didn't even look at him, and walked straight ahead with a man in black.

Holding the roster, he asked, "Why is it a day later than the scheduled time?"

Guiyuan Sect recruits good disciples from various places, and then sends managers to pick them up. According to the distance of the place to pick up, the time will be set, and there will be a delay of one day at most.

Therefore, even if Guanshi Li is delayed due to something on the way, it is really normal.

But because of those unwritten rules, Li Guanshi also understood what this meant, and quickly stuffed money secretly, saying that everyone has worked hard, this is tea money or something like that.

"That's right. It seems that Guanshi Li has made a fat trip this time. Alright, tell them to come forward."

The man accepted the money calmly, and began to check whether the people on the list were all there.

In a pavilion in the distance, a young man in elegant brocade clothes looked at this side quietly with his hands behind his back. Beside him was the highest person in charge of recruiting apprentices——Wang Jiu.

"This is the first batch of people, Elder Wang."

"This is the fifth batch of people, and after that, there will be one or two groups at most."

Wang Jiu looked at Ning Xiu who was still calm, and replied.

This time to accept apprentices, but the sect head's beloved disciple was sent down by the sect head to take charge of the apprenticeship matters with him.

On the surface, Wang Jiu is the biggest, but behind him is the head of the sect, and the actual power has to be pushed to Ning Xiu.

Ning Xiu was the first disciple of the sect master, and this assignment also meant to train him.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this apprentice recruitment activity has been successfully completed, so everyone is naturally happy.

But from the current point of view, Ning Xiu has seen all these shady things in private, and the sect master is somewhat opposed to such things—go through the back door.

The shrewd old guy has restrained himself, but the people below don't take it seriously. After all, human nature is greedy, and he won't feel pain if his fist doesn't land on him.

The sect master, Li Yun, advocated that the able should live there, and he was nepotism, which had grown into a malignant tumor, constantly invading the interior of the Guiyuan Gate.

So this time, under the pretense of Ning Xiu's hand, is it going to officially start?

Wang Jiu was full of thoughts. He was a reformist on the side of the head, otherwise he wouldn't be standing here today, accompanying Ning Xiu to jointly oversee the matter of recruiting students.

In the past, everyone knew about the bad things about taking bribes, and no one pointed them out, but what about this time?

"One, two, three, four, five, six...Elder Wang, let's go and have a look."

Ning Xiu first counted the number of people softly, then set off for the mountain gate.

"good."

Wang Jiu nodded when he heard the words, and was also curious about what this man would do, and then followed.

...

"Liang'er, Ying'er, you should practice martial arts well in Guiyuanmen from now on, don't cause trouble."

The man surnamed Wu told the two fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys with some reluctance in his eyes, and some expectations that they would succeed in their studies and protect the family in the future.

The two teenagers who were instructed had a slightly immature face, but they replied seriously: "Uncle Wu, don't worry, we will definitely practice martial arts well."

"good……"

The man surnamed Wu was about to say something, when he heard the members of the Guiyuan Gate over there shouting in unison:

"Welcome Chief Zhao, Elder Wang!"

There are two teenagers surnamed Wu, one is Wu Liang and the other is Wu Hongying. The boy is full of heroism, while the girl is Qingshui Furong.

The two couldn't help looking over there at this time, and saw a middle-aged man and a handsome young man standing in front of the stewards, looking at them calmly.

"Okay, how is this group of people counting?"

A person in Xuancloth who was in charge handed over the list: "Return to the young sect master, this fifth batch of people has a total of seventy-two people, which is exactly the same as the number on the list, and there is no mistake."

Ning Xiu took the roster, and the names of all the people mentioned on it would be circled, with ten names in each row. Looking at it silently, there were exactly seventy-two names.

So Ning Xiu put away the roster, and looked at the steward coldly: "But, how can I count eighty people?"

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly became cold.

Excluding the accompanying family members standing on the other side, on the left side are the disciples who were counted by the steward just now and who want to enter the Guiyuan Sect. They are neatly lined up. It only takes a little time to count them clearly.

Manager Xuanyi smiled apologetically, "Impossible...Young Clan Master, you may have misunderstood the person. Some family members here are reluctant to leave. Just now, it is human nature to hang around and talk to the children."

"If you don't believe me, I tell those people to go away, and you can look again."

As he said this, he turned around and winked at the chubby Guanshi Li. Guanshi immediately understood, although he was nervous, he pretended to shout, "Go out if you are not a disciple in the sect." At this time, the three people standing outside walked away. He had sharp eyes, and after seeing a few people walking out, he picked out five people from the crowd.

"Look, there are two, three, four... eight people, this just matches the roster."

Ning Xiu smiled and said, "Haha, that's true."

Seeing Ning Xiu's smiling face, Manager Xuanyi felt a little relieved, and was about to say something flattering when he met Ning Xiu's playful eyes:

"Little steward, dare to violate the sect's rules and admit more people who don't know their identities. You know, what if these people have malicious intentions and schemes to reveal our martial arts!"

"This...how could...you are joking."

Manager Xuanyi's complexion changed drastically, and a smile was barely on his face.

On the side, Wang Jiu was expressionless, turning his head to look at the panic-stricken Steward Xuanyi, thinking that this young sect master was not a good person.

despair!

despair!

despair!

Ning Xiu walked towards him step by step, and the rolled-up roster unfolded again: "But I clearly counted ninety people just now, even if these eight people are removed, eighty-two minus seventy-two—you don't need me to do the counting. .”

"I don't know about this, young sect master Mingjian..."

Steward Xuanyi showed a terrified expression, and hurriedly knelt down.

Bringing someone privately is a big or small matter, but according to the hat Ning Xiu put on him just now, it is a capital offense!

His eyes were erratic, and he suddenly pointed to Guanshi Li who was standing in the crowd: "This is Li Gan's fault, he brought the people here!"

Ning Xiu pinched his chin and looked at Li Gan who was being pointed at.

"Master Zhao! He spitting blood, he—I'm wronged!"

The fat on Li Gan's face trembled, and he hurriedly retorted, thinking of the torture in the door, the two sides were fighting, and the majestic warrior was a little unsteady.
