Chapter 507 Jade Plate
The martial arts test site is located in the small woods cleared behind the government office in Hebo, and several acres of loess flat land was tamped by soldiers in half an hour.
Seeing Liang Qu walk out from the shadow of the government eaves, the bustling crowd consciously made way for a small path.
The villagers of Yixing Town are bold: "Master Liang, do you want to board the king's ship too?"
"No, come up and play."
Liang Qu rolled up his sleeves, revealing the blood stone arm armor on his left hand. He did not wear official uniform today, and Long Lingxi turned into a black-bottomed red-patterned outfit, with a majestic appearance.
Even if people from other counties do not know Liang Qu, just by looking at his posture and appearance, they can know that a big man of weight has come.
"Hurry up, Master Liang is going to take action! Make room for him!"
"Yes, how can we let Master Liang queue up!"
When the people of Yixing Town in the martial arts field heard that Liang Qu was going to touch the pillar, they were very excited and shouted for people to make room.
The martial arts test lasted for most of the day, and the queues in front of the three white marble pillars were more than half a mile in the scorching heat.
The front fell quickly, and the back lined up tightly, basically in dynamic balance.
"No need." Liang Qu waved his hand, "I'll just line up."
"Mr. Liang! There's a place for you here!"
In front of the east pillar, a dark-skinned young man jumped up and greeted him, and there were three people in front of him.
"Not so good..."
"Very good, kid, this is the third time since yesterday to this morning, this time is not bad!"
"The third time?" Liang Qu was stunned, looking up and down, "I've seen you, Chen family, why do you come so many times? Insomnia at night?"
Everyone heard the ridicule and laughed loudly.
"Chen Mingchao, my name is Chen Mingchao, and I'm from the same family as Chen Xianglao!" Chen Mingchao was a little excited to be recognized. He couldn't help blushing and scratching his head after hearing the second half of the sentence. "I guess if I touch it twice more, I can get used to it for a while, and maybe I can get on the ship and bring honor to my family."
"A Shui is quite popular." Ke Wenbin crossed his arms and joked.
"A native of this place is popular."
"Okay!"
Liang Qu took out a penny of silver from his pocket and waved his hand.
Chen Mingchao looked happy, stepped aside and made way.
Some people had a few strange colors in their eyes.
Ran Zhongshi called the soldiers outside the martial arts field: "Go to the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce to buy some blue blood dye, and paint a line on those who have touched the pillars. They can't be tested again."
"Yes!"
The eyes in the martial arts field gathered.
Liang Qu was tall and strong, with a tall figure of 1.88 meters close to 1.9 meters, casting a shadow. The first three people in the team were under great pressure. They shivered before they touched the pillar, and sweat dripped from their foreheads, shining with oil.
"Passed! Passed! Someone passed, a quarter of an hour, bronze medal! Bronze medal!"
There was a sudden cheer on the field.
Everyone looked at the sound.
Next to the white marble pillar on one side, the thin young man had gray lips and sweat dripped like he was fished out of the water. He still held the white marble pillar tightly and refused to let go. Every muscle was trembling and twisting, as if he was experiencing some unspeakable torture.
"Ordinary person?"
Lu Gang saw the strength of the other party's blood and qi.
Before entering the skin gate, he was undoubtedly an ordinary person, with patches on his clothes, and he didn't seem to have any achievements.
Xu Zishuai was surprised: "This is the first one since the martial arts test. It's rare."
"Where is this kid from?" Xiang Fangsu was a little curious. He called the soldier and said, "Go ask if there are any acquaintances nearby."
"I found out that he is from Nanxun Town."
The soldier clasped his fists and replied.
The young man in the field loosened his hands and his whole body went limp.
It barely lasted more than a quarter of an hour and half a breath.
The bronze medal is the limit.
The soldier under the white jade pillar took a step forward, supported the young man, dragged him all the way to the chair, served him a bowl of iced mung bean soup, and with the consent of Ran Zhongshi and others, stuffed him with a copper waist badge with a dragon-like "Yue" character on it.
The young man's palms trembled, and a lot of mung bean soup spilled out, but he held the bronze medal tightly and didn't let go.
The opportunity is rare.
Those with great perseverance can always have a lower limit wherever they are.
So far, there is no fame, no breakthrough, and can only be a miserable person.
Either there are seriously ill parents at home, or there are a bunch of younger brothers and sisters to support, or something unfair happened.
Liang Qu thought for a moment, retracted his gaze, reminded, asked the soldiers to record the time, confirmed it was correct, and reached out to press the white marble pillar.
"Master Liang touched it! He touched it!"
With a loud shout, the surprised and excited villagers retracted their gaze.
Buzz!
The silver light was bright, Liang Qu did not react, and suddenly felt his whole body lighten, his spirit floated up, and he was thrown into a hazy world somewhere.
The sky and the ground were like waves.
In an instant.
Thousands of sharp edges cut into the flesh!
Roar!
The dragon and tiger qi swirled out and took the initiative to protect the master.
The golden and silver light flowed like water, competing to crush each other!
The cicadas in the woods were screaming desperately.
Under the eaves of the government office, Ke Wenbin squatted on a small stool, scooped watermelon with a spoon, and spit out black melon seeds.
"Come on, guess what medal Ah Shui can get? Gold, silver, bronze? Which one?"
"Different realms correspond to different difficulties." Xiang Fangsu rubbed his chin, "For Ah Shui, there should be a silver medal."
Ran Ying nodded in agreement: "Silver medal is guaranteed."
"Gold and silver are 70% and 30%."
Everyone is not stupid.
Liang Qu never hides his cultivation. Breaking through realms is like eating and drinking. I have never heard the word "card" from him.
He rode away from the dust, so fast that he flew.
In addition, he condensed two great true qi, and he was enlightened by the wind. He understood the spiritual appearance the first time he observed the strange phenomenon.
He is indeed extremely talented.
The King of Yue set up the martial arts test, not to find a peerless genius.
The most brilliant talents have already been recruited by the masters as disciples, and there are very few left among the people. It makes no sense to pick just two or three to board the ship along the way.
There are only three or two cats and dogs, and even a frame is not enough.
The real selection is for talents who are expected to become the backbone, and it would be great to occasionally mix in the seeds of two grandmasters.
Ran Zhongshi looked at Lu Gang and Xu Zishuai on one side: "As senior brothers from Liang Qu, what brand do you think Ah Shui can use?"
"gold medal!"
"gold medal!"
Lu Gang, Xu Zishuai, Hu Qi and others all spoke in unison and spoke categorically.
Ran Zhongshi smiled broadly: "After all, he is a disciple, and he is much more trustworthy than some of our colleagues."
Xu Zishuai looked up at the sky: "You have seen with your own eyes that the youngest disciple accepted by Master has caught up with his senior brothers and climbed from the ninth to the fifth position in two years without even a moment's hesitation."
Lu Gang added: "I think there is a fourth child, but I don't know for sure about the third child."
Xu Zishuai felt an arrow in his heart.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Bronze medal! Bronze medal!"
There were bursts of exclamations on the loess martial arts field.
The remaining two pillars were all tested slowly and paid attention to.
On the sundial, the shadow of the long pole clearly moved past the quarter hour, marking Liangqu's achievement of bronze medal level.
Two flashes of silver streaks appear on the white marble pillars.
However, there was not a drop of sweat on Liang Qu's forehead, which was in sharp contrast to the previous young man.
With ease.
Local people are calm and relaxed, and they show disdain for foreigners who exclaim.
"Master Liang has seen His Majesty with his own eyes, what does a mere bronze medal mean?"
"Don't talk about Mr. Liang, let me put it aside, even Mr. Liang's Jiang Otter can find a bronze medal when he comes!"
Have you met the Holy One?
"Huh?" Ran Zhongshi raised his chin, "Ah Shui, when have you been to the Imperial Capital?"
"Preaching lies through falsehoods." Xu Zishuai curled his lips disdainfully, "The brat came back from flood control last year and kept chanting the Holy Emperor's oral instructions every day. How do country people understand? By passing them around, they turned into oral instructions given to the Holy Emperor in person."
Nothingness.
The sharp edge surged, more than doubled.
The golden light range was forced to shrink.
"Bronze medal?"
Liang Qu couldn't feel the passage of time, but he could feel that the power of the silver light had doubled and he should enter a new stage of confrontation.
It was extremely difficult to resist with the golden body alone. When the silver light scratched my body, I felt bone-piercing pain, so I had to use the Azure Dragon True Gang to resist.
The gold and silver rays of light battled, adding a hint of green in the middle.
Jinqing twisted together and regained more than half of his body, stabilizing his figure.
"I said the silver medal is guaranteed."
Xiang Fangsu has sharp eyes.
There was a little sweat on Liang Qu's forehead, but it was far from condensing into beads of sweat.
It is still in the stage of exerting force and is far from exhaustion.
After half an hour, it was certain to win the silver medal!
Time passed by minute by minute.
The cicadas screamed fiercely.
The half watermelon in Ke Wenbin's hand was eaten until only a layer of light red skin remained.
"Silver medal! Silver medal!"
someone shouted.
The whole white marble column was filled with silver light, half of it lit up!
The third phase!
If you get past it, you'll get a gold medal!
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths!
"Stop! We're going to withdraw money today!"
An old man shouted.
After eating melon for so long and watching so much excitement, the villagers figured out a set of rules.
Touch this pillar, and every time you cross a stage, if you don't fall down immediately within three breaths, you are considered to be on your feet, and you have a good chance of getting through it!
Martial Saint has been here for so long, but he has never produced a gold medal!
The entire martial arts arena was buzzing with discussions, and more and more people gathered around to join in the fun, not just the villagers, but also the children of many big families.
"Brother Liang is really amazing." Weng Shaoping closed the paper fan.
"You are so awesome, why don't you introduce me to my sister?" The girl lay on the bench, raised her toes, and exposed her white socks.
Weng Shaoping was too lazy to pay attention.
Zhai Yunsu and Bian Yuanchong looked at each other, slightly shocked.
There is some truth in what Zhang Xu said. A talented person from Hebo Institute can actually hope to win the gold medal!
Is it possible...
"Yan Jiang, go to Shanghu Academy quickly, call Mr. Zhang here, and tell him that the martial arts test requires gold!"
Lin Yanjiang was quite critical of Zhai Yunsao's instructions.
They were all people boarding the ship, but some were bossing around.
There is no way, who can let me be a bronze medalist, while others are a resounding silver medal.
There are single rooms on the ship. It is said that when you arrive in Ningjiang Mansion, you will be given a private room, at least for the second time!
"Go right now."
"call!"
The silver light is as bright as the tide.
The golden body of the dragon and tiger, the green dragon's true aura, and the white ape's true aura all come out!
The three lights of gold, green and white intertwined, resisting the crushing force of will.
Liang Qu has no doubt that once he removes Zhen Gang, he will face the pain of being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!
The spirit and will are destroyed, and the body cannot suppress the pain. There is almost no upper limit.
"It shouldn't be difficult to get a gold medal..."
Liang Qu felt the intensity. He had already established his footing and it was not difficult to hold on for another half-quarter of an hour.
I wonder what will happen in a quarter of an hour?
The two great powers, the dragon and tiger, and the golden body.
Not reaching the limit of Liangqu!
The fairy island on the cloud has not yet appeared, and "Wan Sheng Bao Yuan" still has a skill of "Shen Shen", which is the third level of "Wan Sheng Bao Yuan".
[Cun Shen] saves [Sichuan Lord Killing Jiao].
Liangqu is rarely used.
Because before [Cun Shen] needs to be overdrawn, [Transformation Spirit] can often solve the difficulty first.
For difficulties that cannot be solved by [Transformation of Spirits], using [Chen Shen] will not help. It will also end [Transformation of Spirits] early due to exhaustion of physical strength.
"How long has Liang Shui been touching it?"
Zhang Xu rode on the Jueying Horse, walked through the forest path, saw a crowded martial arts field, and stopped a soldier.
The soldier recognized the man and replied: "In a quarter of an hour."
The words just fell.
Cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami came from the martial arts arena, and the crowd surged like a sea.
"gold Gold Gold!"
"Withdraw money! Withdraw money!"
"A quarter of an hour, gold medal!"
"really!"
Lying on the bench, the young man who has not recovered yet holds the bronze medal in his hand with envy in his eyes.
Perseverance is extremely strong, but it cannot be compared with a true genius.
"What a gold medal!"
Bian Yuanchong and Zhai Yunsao climbed up the tree to watch, their hearts shaking.
gold medal!
The treatment on board the ship is far beyond that of a silver medal.
Don’t say anything else.
Bronze and silver medals do not have the right to lead people, but gold medals can choose a servant to accompany them!
There is a gold medalist living on the ship with his beautiful maidservant. He is so graceful and graceful that outsiders are envious of him!
"I wonder if I can take the last step..."
Zhang Xu stared at Liang Qu, walked through the crowd, and came to the center of the field. He put one hand deep into his arms and touched the small sign.
In the entire mansion, gold is rarely withdrawn.
The King of Yue traveled from south to north, stopping at many places along the way. At most, there were no more than six gold medals at a time. Among them, the two who boarded the ship generally did not exceed one hand.
After staying for three days, I can't say that the test is complete and there are no flaws, but I can get a glimpse of it.
However, after the gold medal, there are other changes, and everyone must withdraw from the trial due to force majeure.
Only a few confidants of the King of Yue understood.
more than!
"Is this... the end?"
The world was filled with nothingness, and Liang Qu was breathing heavily.
I thought there would be another test after the gold medal, so I never wanted to end it abruptly.
Regret.
boom!
The sound of the thunderstorm rolled and roared, the wind suddenly rose, the pale white void sky and earth suddenly turned gray, and the dark clouds covered the top!
Um?
Liang Qu stood in the strong wind with his clothes on, and immediately felt a fierce murderous intention surging in the chaos.
No daze.
Bravely urge to activate [Cunshen]!
The blue dragon turns into a coiled dragon pillar, the white apes embrace each other, and the white clouds pour down from the fairy island above the clouds!
Then there was thunder again, and a silver-white spear suddenly appeared in the sky, wrapped in endless electric light, pierced the sky, and shot out!
Silver light flashed across, and the clouds in the sky split into two, rushing and dispersing.
The biting cold is falling from the sky!
Liang Qu was happy and unafraid, and took a step forward, holding his palm empty, with a spear faintly emerging.
The white ape, which is more than three feet tall, hugs the dragon pillar, its eyes are like torches, and the hair on its body flows like water, flowing gracefully.
There is clearly a white ape, but it shows a bit of the style of a divine general, and a blurry figure floats behind it, secretly meeting each other.
A chill penetrated his brow.
The white ape wields the giant pillar!
Instantly.
The shadow is clear, and the god will raise his hand.
The world flashes into black and white!
The spear fired by electricity suddenly seemed to turn into a child's simple drawing composed of two black lines...
The Coiling Dragon Pillar smashed down brazenly, like an eraser wiping away parts of the two black lines.
The lines that formed the spear broke and suddenly twisted like an earthworm.
instantly.
Collapse into thousands of pieces!
The woods were lush, and the cicada was so frightened by the cheers of the crowd that it didn't dare to make a sound.
In the eyes of outsiders, the flowing silver patterns on the entire white marble column all lit up and suddenly glowed!
However, at the most brilliant moment, it ceased and came to an abrupt end.
It fades from the top to the end, and there is no more light.
The white marble pillar seemed to have degenerated into an ordinary pillar.
Liang Qu opened his eyes and weakly let go. The soldiers behind him helped him in time.
strangeness.
Bian Yuanchong and Zhai Yunsao looked at each other, having never seen such a scene before.
After winning the gold medal, shouldn't we just bounce people away?
So "gentle"?
"Congratulations to Mr. Liang for passing the martial arts test." Zhang Xu walked out of the crowd and raised his hands to bow.
"Mr. Zhang!"
Bian Yuanchong and Zhai Yunsao jumped down from the tree branches to say hello.
The issuance of silver and bronze medals will be handled by the Hebo Institute, while gold medals will need to be distributed by Zhang Xu himself.
The people craned their necks and looked forward to it.
Not to mention gold medals, dozens of taels of gold are rare in a lifetime and are worth seeing.
"Wait a minute, Ah Shui won't board the ship, so he doesn't have a sign to get it." Ke Wenbin suddenly said.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Xu Zishuai slapped his forehead.
"No! Even if Liang Shui doesn't get on the boat, there is still a sign."
Zhang Xu took out a small square card from his arms and showed it in front of others.
Different from the glittering metallic light of gold, silver and copper, the square card is overall shiny and restrained.
A... jade tablet?
Bian Yuanchong and Zhai Yunsao were stunned.
Bian Yuanchong guessed: "Could it be that instead of getting on the ship, gold medals are not given out, but jade medals are given instead?"
"Is that so?"
"That's wrong. If you don't board the ship, you won't have the card." Zhang Xu interrupted the two of them, "But above the gold medal, there is the jade card. No matter whether you board the ship or not, you will be given it. This is what the King of Yue ordered early in the morning. "
Above the gold medal?
How could it be above the gold medal?
Bian Yuanchong and Zhai Yunsu were shocked.
Four layers of copper, silver, gold and jade?
Liang Qu rubbed the jade sign.
The mutton-fat white jade is the same as the dragon girl's skin.
"Mr. Zhang, how much discount can you get for this jade token at Tianbo Chamber of Commerce?"
Zhang Xu was stunned.
A few moments.
Zhang Xu smiled.
"I'll go find the steward of the Chamber of Commerce and ask."
