Peerless Pirates

Chapter 362 The wonderful stone lock

The arrival of many second-generation officials immediately filled Wuhu with vitality (read the full text of x evolution). In particular, there were dozens of warblers and swallows among them, which dazzled many people. The atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River was more conservative than in the northern Xinjiang.

Some, many women from official families are not willing to show up on such occasions. Therefore, there are many more young men than young ladies on the scene.

Speaking of which, this is still the "credit" of Neo-Confucianism. The principles of Neo-Confucianism have a profound influence on human nature, especially the defense between men and women, and have strict requirements. Women from the south of the Yangtze River are more quiet, graceful, delicate and sentimental than those from the north of the Yangtze River. With the rise of Neo-Confucianism, naturally

More restrictive.

However, although Prime Minister Huang Yuandu devoted himself to promoting Neo-Confucianism, he was extremely partial to his twin girls and did not impose too many restrictions. This is similar to Wanyan Jing, the right prime minister of Jin Dynasty. Wanyan Jing was very fond of his twin girls.

Women Wan Yandong and Wan Yan Xue also love each other very much.

At this time, all the military officers were standing upright, but their eyes were looking around, and they were whispering something from time to time. At this young age, how can one not be attracted to beautiful women. However, there are still disciplines in the army. Those who are responsible for commanding

Hundreds of households, every half a cup of tea, would shout "stand still". No one in the martial arts dared to shake his head, and could only use a very low voice to chat with the person next to him.

Song Zheng lowered his eyelids, looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, silently running the Chunyang Pu (read the full text of Yan Bai on HP). For such a long time, he had developed the habit of practicing Chunyang Pu anytime and anywhere. Only

In this way, he could suppress his emotions.

Song Zheng was extremely resentful towards Huang Song. If the initial target against Huang Song was to avenge his grandfather Song Shi, then now, something else was added. Song Zheng had never hated such a person so much. This person was so sanctimonious,

Extremely cunning and unscrupulous to achieve his goals, without any sense of justice or conscience.

When Yang Dong saw Song Zheng acting like this, he imitated his example and calmed down to regain his composure.

There was still a moment to go, when a gong suddenly sounded at the entrance of the courtyard. Immediately afterwards, dozens of city guards were divided into two rows and swarmed into the martial arts courtyard. The eight sergeants at the head, holding gongs and mallets, knocked every ten steps.

, the voice was loud. Behind the infantry sergeant were ten sergeants on horseback, holding red flags and following closely.

As the flags were fluttering, a tall horse appeared. The horse was all white, half a foot taller than an ordinary horse and more than a foot longer. On top of the white horse was a black, middle-aged man of medium build, wearing a red robe. The man had a wide face and a wide mouth.

He is broad, with a black beard half a foot long, eyes like copper bells, and two thick eyebrows slanting upward, like Zhong Kui in the portrait, very imposing.

Behind him were two generals in armor, riding chestnut horses. One had a face as tall as a jujube, and was unusually tall. The other was nearly sixty years old, with gray beard and hair.

Yang Dong whispered, "The person riding the tall white horse is Lord Lan Shiguanglan, the commander of the City Guards and the right minister of the Ministry of War. The red-faced person behind him is Jiang Weiji, the commander of the left army. The old man is He Kuan, the supervisor of the army. There is also the commander of the right army."

Qu Dingbei, who is not in the team, should be staying at the city guard camp."

Yang Dong seemed to be very familiar with the city guards, and he quickly explained the origins of these people. This made Song Zheng even more curious about Yang Dong.

As soon as Lan Shiguang and his party entered the martial arts academy, the surroundings of the training ground immediately became silent. The second-generation officials also closed their mouths, stopped talking and laughing, and all raised their heads and looked at the entrance of the courtyard.

After a while, the team marched to the foot of the hill. The gongs stopped and Lan Shiguang, Jiang Weiji and He Kuan dismounted one after another. Soldiers had already led the horses (the latest chapter of Ten Worlds Dream). The general who was in charge of commanding the martial arts academy.

He stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "Master Lan, all the martial artists have gathered here. Please come on stage and give a lecture!"

Lan Shiguang nodded, and General Pi stood up to lead the way. Lan Shiguang and the other three stepped onto the stage. Twenty personal guards followed them and came to the high platform on the hill together, quickly occupying the four corners and edges of the high platform.

Lan Shiguang stood still on the stage and glanced down majestically.

At this time, General Pi shouted, "Please give me a lecture by Mr. Lan, the Right Minister of the Ministry of War and the Commander of the City Guards!"

Lan Shiguang took two steps forward and said in a loud voice, "All of you, all of you in martial arts, are the elites of our Qi Dynasty. Now we are competing here. We must strive to be the first and display our martial arts skills. The best ones will be promoted to martial arts scholars and compete for the top prize in martial arts."

Order. From now on, he will lead thousands of troops and gallop on the battlefield to repay the country's favor..."

The sound of Lanshi's light was like thunder, so loud that it made the ears of those who were close to it roar. Not only that, but his few words made everyone's blood boil with excitement. Many people's faces turned red and their hands were shaking.

Song Zheng secretly sighed, although this Lan Shiguang looked different from the Governor of Shandong Road, his speech was equally sonorous and powerful. To be a general, one must not only be personally brave, but also be a natural orator, able to summon the sergeants under his command to serve him.

"This is the time to pledge myself to serve the country!" As Lan Shiguang's last words came out, all the martial artists in the square clenched their fists and bit their lips, as if they were looking for someone to fight for.

The general on the stage raised his fist and shouted, "Who can compete with me, Wu Weiyang!"

All the martial artists waved their fists and couldn't help shouting, three times. Lan Shiguang nodded and pressed his hands. When the field calmed down, Lan Shiguang shouted, "The competition begins!"

Then, General Pi stepped down and commanded ten hundred households. The generals were divided into ten groups according to their numbers: A, B, C, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Rengui, and began to conduct the first of the three benchmark tests: Lifting Stone Locks (Read the full text of "The Three Kingdoms")

.

There are a total of 357 martial arts contestants. Except for the Gui group, which has 33 people, the remaining nine groups have 36 people in each group. Song Zheng, Xin Yu, Yang Dong and others are in the seventh group, the Geng group.

On the B-shaped training ground, ten hundred-jin stone locks have been placed, and ten teams are behind the stone locks, five feet away.

This is a real effort, and there is no possibility of cheating. Each martial artist must lift the stone lock above his head and hold it for about five seconds. After a minute's rest, he must lift it a second time and then rest for a while.

After a while, lift it for the third time. If you complete it three times, you will be considered qualified.

The Geng group is No. 217 to 252, and Song Zheng is No. 244. They are relatively far back. He can safely watch others lifting stone locks.

Number 217, who was the first to appear, was Cao Huanzhang, a famous master in the Shandong Road Martial Arts Competition. Cao Huanzhang was 22 or 23 years old, similar in height to Song Zheng, but a lot thicker. He was a famous strong man in the martial arts competitions.

.

After the hundreds of households in charge of the assessment called their names, Cao Huanzhang replied loudly, "Yes", then stepped forward and stood beside the stone lock.

Baihu nodded, "Start!" Cao Huanzhang bent down, held the stone lock with both hands, and raised the stone lock above his head with both hands. He counted other martial arts involuntarily, "One, two, three, four

,five!"

Baihu said expressionlessly, "Let go!" Cao Huanzhang slowly put down the stone lock.

Seeing that Cao Huanzhang's face was not red and out of breath, Baihu waited for a while and then shouted, "Second time." Cao Huanzhang lifted the stone lock again.

When Cao Huanzhang finished lifting it for the third time, hundreds of households shouted, "No. 217, lift the stone lock and pass! Next, No. 218!" Then he deleted the name of the painting in his hand.

A circle is drawn above number 217.

Cao Huanzhang raised his hand to Baihu, but retreated to the back of the team with a happy face (the latest chapter of Fengjue Different World). Song Zheng saw that Cao Huanzhang had no other abnormality except that his face was slightly red.

As the game progressed, Song Zheng discovered that this Baihu was really good. If he was strong, he would let him rest less and finish as soon as possible. And if he was less strong, he would rest more. Compared with other teams, the Geng group

The speed is considered medium, neither fast nor slow.

Of course, there are also some households that are more rigid and strictly control the time between breaks, no more, no less. In this case, those with weak strength are more unlucky. They often spend a lot of effort to complete it.

All the martial arts exercises were well-trained, and they all practiced stone locks. Therefore, most people successfully completed it. Of course, there were also three or five who did not complete it and had to end up crying. The most unlucky one came from Guangnan West Road.

I finally completed the third lock lift, but due to exhaustion of energy, I couldn't control it. The stone lock was thrown down and hit my toe. It was not fun to drop a hundred kilograms of stone lock. This guy broke his toe and had to quit.

Competition.

Nearly an hour later, it was Song Zheng's turn. He took a breath and stepped forward slowly.

Seeing Song Zheng's appearance, Baihu was slightly startled. In this martial arts competition, Song Zheng was the youngest, not yet sixteen years old, and his body seemed a little thinner. Baihu was obviously surprised by Song Zheng's young age.

.However, he still nodded step by step and said, "Let's begin."

After Song Zheng moved his arms a few times, he grabbed the lock with his right hand and felt the weight, but he couldn't help but cursed in his heart, "Damn, it's quite heavy. I'd better try the lifting method, otherwise I'll try the archery competition later.

To be affected.”

Many martial arts practitioners at the scene may not have considered this problem. If you use too much force when lifting the stone lock, your arms will become sore and numb. Even if you successfully complete this assessment, your hands will be unstable and you will lose your accuracy when shooting arrows.

Therefore, many people who rely on their physical strength even deliberately lift a few more exercises to show their strength and feel complacent about it. They are all at an age that refuses to admit defeat. Some martial arts exercises that they could barely complete in the first place also imitate others and pretend to be

He looked relaxed and secretly rubbed his arms after the game. For these fools, Song Zheng could only smile in return.

Classmate Song Xiaolang is not good at strength. Although Chunyang Pu has given him amazing recovery ability, he does not want to take the risk (Latest Chapter of Harry Potter and the Silver Bullet).

I saw him squatting down, holding the nose of the lock with his left hand, turning the stone lock sideways, and holding the edge of the lock with his right hand. With both arms strong, he straightened up holding the stone lock. This unique action immediately caused other martial arts movements.

and the attention of outsiders.

Those people watching from the outside were just watching the excitement. At first, some people pointed and commented, but then the crowd gradually became quieter. After all, it seemed that everyone was tired of watching such an action of lifting a stone lock.

Now, Song Zheng's appearance has made these people talk again.

"Look at that kid, he's not lifting a stone lock, he's clearly hugging him!"

"This person looks so young. He is so thin. Can he be lifted up?"

"This stone lock weighs a hundred kilograms. I think that boy is very heavy!"

Song Zheng was not distracted, he lifted the stone lock in front and back of his chest, took a breath, lifted and pushed it up, and held the stone lock in front of his shoulders. Taking another deep breath, Song Zheng shouted, stretched his left leg forward, and stretched his right leg back.

He kicked, his body was lowered, but the stone lock was firmly lifted above his head.

Then, Song Zheng slowly stepped back and became an upright posture.

——Yes, Song Zheng used the weight lifting posture of later generations, and it was a combination of clean and jerk and snatch!

This time, not only were the martial arts on the field astonished by the second-generation officers, but even the sergeants stationed on guard showed their extraordinary expressions. They usually trained with stone locks, but they had never seen this method of lifting stone locks.

Halfway up the mountain, Huang Ting said "Hey" and pointed in the direction of Song Zheng, "Second brother, sister, look, that person really lifted it up!"

Huang Ping suddenly blinked her eyes and looked at Song Zheng curiously. Huang Song stood up from the chair and thought to himself, "Why does this person look familiar to me?"
