Chapter Sixteen
"The mountain is not high, but there are immortals, but it is famous; there are waters not deep; there are dragons, but the spirits are spiritual. This is a humble room, but my virtue is full of love..."
Zhang Xiao walked into Wangmei Pavilion and heard a man reciting the inscription of a humble room. He looked over the sound, but saw two rows of pear wooden seats in the spacious hall. In the middle was the position of the teacher and the speaker was a young man wearing a brocade robe and a long sword with a handsome eyebrows. At first glance, Feng Shen was handsome, and a young man in a turbid world. Looking closely, the man's hair ends were dry and split, the corners of his eyes were dark blue, and his nose was shriveled, and he was a typical sign of qi, blood and premature decline.
"This is an ancient poem translated by Mr. Biexu Sanqian from Du Kui of Baofeng Building half a year ago. The artistic conception is wonderful, and it is even more rare to find the experience of the ancient powers practicing and fighting. "The man said eruditely: "Listen to this sentence, tune the zither, read the golden scriptures, and there is no confusion of silk and bamboo. The young actor thought that this sentence was actually the method of sound waves among the spiritual power, and the principle was similar to the method of lion roar and pressure of the Lion Heart Family."
"Good poems, good sentences, and Master Hao explained them well." An old professor with a beard praised repeatedly, and said to the rainbow fart and a bad belly: "Mr. Hao is worthy of the son of the second prime minister, and the top 20 young talent in the Cangqiong Academy's naive tiger list. The ancient classics are obscure and difficult to understand, and there are often metaphors and principles in it. Even many contemporary great scholars often cannot understand them. It is rare for you to have this understanding."
Cangqiong Academy is recognized as the first institution of Taoism in the East Continent. It is a holy place for study that countless young talents yearn for. In addition to preaching and receiving professionalism, the college also releases three lists at the beginning of each year, namely Chufeng, Zhihu and Qingyun. Among them, Zhihu is specially prepared for young men under the age of 24 in the human race. The Chufeng is similar to it, the difference is that all those on the list are women.
Those on the list mainly evaluate the level of the alien, and their actual combat power is included in the evaluation criteria. For example, Xu Siming, who is second in the Zhihu List, was born in the Lion Heart family and had outstanding talents. He broke through the Level 4 mark at the age of seventeen. Now, he is ranked in front of Jiangmen Meilang in the level 5 middle realm, relying on the unique Lion Roaring skills of the Lion Heart family to significantly increase the actual combat power.
Zhang Xiao doesn't pay much attention to these things on weekdays, but he can't stand the admiration of Yi Ren in this era. He is in the public office and cannot avoid contacting these messages.
This Hao Mengling can be ranked in the top 20 of the Zhihu List, which sounds nothing, but in fact it is already a very remarkable achievement. You should know that the Zhihu List released by Cangqiong Academy basically covers all young talents in the entire Eastern Continent. Its authority is unquestionable.
This humble room inscription was actually commissioned by Du Zi Teng, the chief cabinet of Baofeng Building. The original content was a complete soy milk machine manual. Zhang Xiao felt that it would be boring and worthless to translate it literally, so he took his own initiative to help Liu Yuxituo, a layman named Jiuyang, replace the manual with a humble room inscription.
In this era, the cultivation civilization has developed to the pinnacle, but the knowledge of humanities and social sciences is a little worse.
In the early years, the human race fought against the sky and the earth, and competed with the demon gods, sea tribes, feather tribes, elves tribes, and giant tribes in order to survive. Naturally, the method of improving one's own strength was the most important, and almost all behaviors revolved around this.
Later, the human race in the East and West Continents became more and more prosperous, and powerful aliens emerged one after another, and the cultivation culture developed to its peak. They gradually exiled their opponents and occupied the best land. They have been peaceful for a long time and as population and social problems increase, they have also paid more attention to the humanities and social sciences.
Especially in the past fifty years, no large-scale war broke out in the Eastern Continent. At some point, archaeology and ancient civilization research crazes quietly emerged. The upper class is keen on the study of ancient civilizations, and the ancient cultures of ancient times have become fashionable elements that people flock to. Especially ancient culture, poetry, songs and essays have become the culprit of Chang'an's precious paper.
Although people are keen on studying ancient culture, the basis of contemporary culture is practice civilization, so as long as they involve higher knowledge, they will still habitually associate it with practice civilization.
Zhang Xiao stood at the stairs and listened to a group of professors and students who were known to be full of knowledge and had a heated discussion on the instructions for the soy milk maker of Jiuyang lay Buddhists. He felt both absurd and inexplicably happy.
"Zhang Xiao, you are here." Bai Zongqiu had noticed Zhang Xiao for a long time, so he chose the right time to call him in, and ordered someone to bring him a chair and sit down at the bottom right in front of several professors.
In front of everyone, Zhang Xiao sat down calmly, looked around and nodded, "Sir, young masters, and ladies, Zhang Xiao is polite."
"You are going to marry Zhang Xiao from the Bai family?" a girl in green asked bluntly.
Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, I am the Fengyang Sheriff Zhang Xiao who wanted to eat swan meat." He felt a move in his heart. How did this girl in green know about this? The marriage between the Zhang family and the Bai family was deliberately suppressed by the Bai family for ten years. If someone had not deliberately leaked and spread it, it would have definitely not been known to outsiders. He asked with his fist, "Dare you ask who this lady is?"
"I am Zhao Bingbing." The girl in green looked at Zhang Xiao dissatisfiedly and said, "I heard that Mr. Beixu Sanqian has a high opinion of you, so Dean Bai specially invited you to attend today's literary meeting. He thought it was a huge piece of gold and unparalleled jade, but it turned out that meeting was not as good as famous as he was, but it was just a stubborn stone that had not awakened."
When we meet, we start to pinch each other, without any concealment. Sure enough, no matter how you call me, you are not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"It turns out it's Miss Zhao." Zhang Xiao said: "Hello, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much."
Zhao Bingbing was stunned: "When did I meet you?"
Zhang Xiao said: "Since you don't know each other, why do you take the initiative to talk to me? And you also inquire about me? Could it be that you, Jinyu, are you, who are dating people like this?"
"You?" Zhao Bingbing was speechless for a moment.
"What are you? That's right, I'm the brother Zhang Xiao, the Fengyang sheriff you are thinking about." Zhang Xiao said: "Of course, it will embarrass you to say this in front of so many people here, so you can refuse to admit it. It doesn't matter. If you think you are not familiar with me, then please shut up."
Zhao Bingbing was so angry that she couldn't speak at once.
"What a sharp-tongued black dog official!"
The person who spoke was Cao Datou's son. This kid is big and thick, with a big head, and a dark and rough face, which is carved out like him.
Zhang Xiao only knew that he was Cao Hong's son and had no intersection in the past.
Ahan is very familiar with this kid. First, two of his peers have a lot of common language; second, Cao Hong intends to make arrangements, not only to find a friend for his son, but also to hope that Cao Mengxiong can learn some practical boxing skills from Ahan. In the yamen, only Ahan can enter the inner house of the director.
This son is gifted with a bear soul and has great strength. Although he has a bad temper, his tutor is not bad because of a more irritable father.
However, because he is extremely powerful and cannot control himself, he often takes action to hurt people, so no one dares to make friends with him since he was a child.
Ahan is not afraid of his strength or his strength. Instead, he has learned a lot of things to get along with others after having had a few fights with Ahan. The two guys have played well, but they are not talkative people. They have been playing with each other for several years in private, and they are nothing more than feeding each other or fighting each other.
Zhang Xiao naturally had no interest in participating in this kind of stupid behavior between the nonsense children. In order to avoid being cheated by Cao Datou, he even deliberately hid far away. He should not know that he was Ahan's elder brother.
Is this the beginning?
Zhang Xiao would not take his words to heart, and glanced at the direction where Bai Zongqiu was. Mr. Bai Er was sitting there, looking like he was not concerned about his own affairs. It seems that this old guy would not be able to hold back any article. He probably wanted to force me to give up.
He looked to the side again and Bai Lingxiao was just behind Bai Zongqiu, looking indifferent. In fact, the more this happened, the more it meant that she cared about it.
This little tiger girl was so heartless that she begged her brother to come to save the scene, but now the crowd pretended to be dead.
If it weren't for Aunt Hu, I really wanted to leave now and let the Bai family tear it away. Unfortunately, things have come to this point. If Bai Lingxiao cannot be married into the family, Aunt Hu would be crazy. Alas, it is really difficult to fulfill this wish for Aunt Hu.
After waiting for a while, Bai Lingxiao was still indifferent. It seemed that he was really embarrassed. He probably didn't want to marry into the second prime minister's mansion and didn't dare to show it.
Well, for your hard-boosting, Brother Xiao will suffer some losses and sing with you to fight against the heroes. By the way, there are a few female bosses, better, they will fight together. It’s a pity that I can’t show the real kung fu on my tongue.
Alas, in order to practice the martial god system I created, I don’t remember how long I have been wronged.
"Little fat black man, are you the son of Lord Cao Hong?" Zhang Xiao said: "You just said the black dog official, this is inappropriate. Lingzun and I are colleagues. We often call each other brothers. According to you, he is the biggest black dog in the public security yamen. If your son does not say his father's life, how can you say that to your father?"
"You're talking nonsense." Xiao Cao's black face turned darker, he raised his head and glared at Zhang Xiao, and said, "There is a difference between officials. What kind of person is my father? How can I compare to you, a mortal black dog who cannot awaken? By the way, you, the black dog, dare to call my father's name directly. I will tell him when you look back and see how he punishes you."
"Only when a child is wronged, he will think of going home to complain to the adults." Zhang Xiao laughed and said, "A true man should have a broad mind and lofty ambitions. When interacting with others, he values the meaning of charity. A man's personality and temperament are secondary. If you know your father well, you shouldn't say such stupid words at all."
"My father doesn't talk so much nonsense." Cao Mengxiong raised his fist and said, "I don't need so much nonsense, either, a black dog." As he said that, he rolled up his arms and sleeves, and came to the venue. The black air was lingering, and the soul was possessed. The little black fat man turned into a big black blind man at a speed visible to the naked eye.
What's going on with him? I've been promising Wenhui, but before I even started talking, I'll come up with a little bastard who is good at it?
Zhang Xiao glanced at Bai Zongqiu: "Uncle Second, is this a literary meeting?"
Bai Zongqiu was here and said, "Although it is a literary class, Guangde Academy has always been martial, and it is not forbidden for classmates to learn from each other." A gleam in his eyes flashed and he looked at Zhang Xiao coldly. Since you dare to come, you should know that if you want to marry a daughter of the Bai family, you can only talk.
"So that's it, okay, I admit defeat." Zhang Xiao spread his hands and said, "It's not that he is afraid of him, mainly because he is still a child, and his best friend of Ahan. How can I be the elder..."
"Do you know Zhang Han?" Cao Mengxiong looked at Zhang Xiao in surprise.
"You take the supernatural powers first and then talk to me." Zhang Xiao said: "I taught Zhang Han's boxing and foot skills, and he learned one of my abilities."
"You brag!" Cao Mengxiong said: "Although Zhang Han awakened his soul, he has not yet activated the Danyuan. It is logical that he should not be my opponent, but my father said that he can have a powerful physical technique passed down from ancient times, so I can't beat him. If you are his master, you should be better than him." He took a step forward.
A fight is inevitable.
This is obviously a test arranged by Bai Zongqiu.
The crowd is silent, waiting for someone to have a shameful moment. Perhaps it is not only embarrassing, but also life and death.
A mortal who has not awakened, a gifted alien genius. People have enough reason to believe that this black dog who is sharp-tongued and overestimated is going to be in trouble.
Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "No, you won't want to do that. If you do it, you will never get the result you want. Violence will not make you better..."
With a sudden sound, a black shadow pounced on him. Zhang Xiao's nervous system was transformed by super brain experiments. His hearing and visual response were extremely sharp. He had the ability to avoid danger and avoid the enemy's predicament. He decisively shrank forward, avoiding Cao Mengxiong's attack like lightning. He turned his hand and grabbed the opponent's ankle, and suddenly exerted force to rush to the ground.
Poor Cao's little bear was in mid-air, unable to react, and was hit hard on the ground. He was about to release the gravity power, but was grabbed and knocked on the ground. Every time, he was accidentally interrupted at the node where he activated the power.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Look, this is the result of superstitious force." Zhang Xiao asked gently at Cao Mengxiong, who was hit by the blue nose, swollen face, and weakly fought back: "Cao Xiaoxiong, have you realized it?"
Chapter completed!
