Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes

The garden where the little princess Guan Hongluan lives is called "Changchun Garden". The rockery landscaping and potted plants in the pond imitate the gentle style of southern architecture. The scenery is pleasant and the residents feel relaxed and happy.

It is said that a few decades ago, a royal relative who was highly valued by the emperor came here to patrol the border. The local county magistrate spent tens of thousands of dollars and took more than a year to build this huge garden.

There are dozens of pavilions and pavilions in the garden. Even if a casual person takes a look at it from a distance, they will feel fear and awe in their hearts.

Only Guan Hongluan, the princess of the Hou Mansion, would not arouse anyone's criticism if she lived here.

"Ling'er, where did you go when you went out this time?"

After practicing martial arts, Guan Hongluan was covered in fragrant sweat, but he did not take a shower first. Instead, he looked at the peacock who had been fed the elixir on his wrist, frowned and asked in concern:

"Then the poisonous insects in Snake Fish Town are so delicious that you can forget about home?"

The five-colored peacock chirped and blinked.

"Forget it, just come back. But this time I have suffered your loss. You have to be banned in the garden for a month. As for those poisonous insects, I will ask people to catch some for you in the garden, and let you prey on them. ”

After Guan Hongluan finished speaking, he handed the five-color peacock to the maid and said:

"I went to take a bath. Just in time, I sent someone to find Master Tang. I told him that Ling'er was found. He didn't need to search hard anymore. He should come back soon."

"yes."

Guan Hongluan went down to take a bath, and the five-color peacock transformed by Chen Ku began to fly around in the garden, taking a look at the layout of the entire garden and the number of experts.

After this inspection, I was secretly shocked:

"As expected of the Shiyi Houfu of Hanshou County, the true 'Lord of a County'. There are about ten guards responsible for her safety inside and outside, and they are all at least four levels, and even some There are three great warriors of the fifth realm. This is the royal family, the noble family. No wonder they can feed the fourth realm elixirs to their spiritual pets like jelly beans. "

Chen Ku felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Only then did she realize what "richness is not as good as wealth". There were quite a few rich people in Baojiao County, but no matter how rich they were, they would never be able to cultivate people of this level. A batch master, and also has the aristocratic temperament of Guan Hongluan.

"Especially the sword technique she just performed, it is really a world-class martial arts. This level of martial arts can not be seen in Baojiao County, but she seems to have practiced it completely... "

It was when Chen Ku was patrolling the garden in the form of a five-color peacock.

Suddenly, I felt something in my mind, and saw a tall and thin figure wearing a mask and walking slowly outside the white-walled corridor of Changchun Garden, with hands behind his hands.

But this pair of eyes looked at each other.

Then there was an unconscious thrill in my heart, and I felt an instinctive and coercive temperament.

"Master! Great master!"

Chen Ku shouted in his heart:

"The feeling this masked man gives me is no less than that of the tall old man and master Qin Yuxian who controls the sky. Could it be... that he is also at the seventh level?"

It subconsciously stayed away from the masked man.

Unexpectedly, when the other party entered the garden and saw it, he sighed helplessly and said, "You peacock, you went out for three days and didn't come back. I'm so tired that I can't find you. You're fine at last."

Otherwise, with Princess Hongluan's doting on her, God knows whether Baojiao County will be turned upside down.

But at this time.

"Master Tang is back."

A voice like a phoenix came from the inner courtyard. Chen Ku turned around and saw Guan Hongluan, who had already bathed and changed clothes. She had put on a plain white skirt and a nine-color skirt. Nishang, surprised in my heart:

"Isn't that the Nine-Colored Deer that I hunted? I actually bought it and made clothes for her. This is also fate."

When Guan Hongluan came out, he waved to the peacock. Chen Ku had no choice but to fly over and land on the opponent's shoulder.

Guan Hongluan touched the feathers of the five-color peacock and apologized to the masked man: "Master Tang, who is tired, is easy to find."

"It's not too much trouble. In the past three days, in addition to looking for Ling'er, I also asked someone to get a 'Martial Arts Golden Order' from the Martial Temple for the princess."

The masked man said:

"There are only more than twenty days until the martial arts test. Make some preparations in advance. If you can't break through by then, you will have to go to the world of martial arts."

Guan Hongluan took the martial arts golden order and said: "That's the only way."

Chen Ku looked at the martial arts golden order in Guan Hongluan's hand and thought to himself: "This princess also has the martial arts golden order, but she doesn't know what the rules will be in the trials in the martial arts world. Is it possible that she will face her?"

Today, he watched from afar that the princess's sword skills and cultivation had reached the peak of the four realms. She also practiced a peerless martial arts sword technique. At the same time, she had no idea how many protective things she had on her body. If it happens... In the martial arts competition, what are the chances of winning without killing anyone?

Just when Chen Ku was thinking about this problem in his heart.

The masked man took out another scroll from his arms and said: "There is also this thing. These are the defenders and defeat rewards for certain five levels in the Qiulong Mansion Martial Temple World, as well as some who have never entered the Martial Temple World. A strategy summarized by people."

"I've heard of it."

Guan Hongluan took it, opened the scroll, and said:

"It is said that the number of defenders in the world of martial arts is not fixed. Just like the test paper of the literary examination, it is a secret to arrange which martial arts gods will compete. It must have taken a lot of thought for Master Tang to be able to get such a thing."

"This is actually sent by the Marquis."

The masked man said slowly:

"Whether it is a literary test or a martial arts test, the rules are to restrain ordinary people. This kind of secrets of the defenders can be regarded as secrets for ordinary people and ordinary families, but for the Marquis, it is just a secret. Regarding the matter of words, although it is not possible to get all the test questions, it is still not difficult to get some information about the defender. "

Chen Ku couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief as he listened to these two people discussing the exam questions in the Martial Temple world as if no one else was watching. They were just preparing for an 'open book exam'. He was so powerful, how could he be so arrogant?

Sure enough, fraud in imperial examinations was very common in all dynasties, especially among high-ranking officials.

Although he had this thought in his mind, Peacock Head honestly looked at the scroll in Guan Hongluan's hand.

"The 'Nine-Yang True Pill' that the princess needs is at the guardian of the fifth level. It is said that this time the martial arts temple has prepared three Nine-Yang True Pills at the fifth level. They will be rewarded to the top three people. As long as the princess arrives in advance. Defeat him and you’ll have a chance to get it.”

The masked person Guan Hongluan explains in detail:

"According to the information on the scroll, the location of the fifth level is in the northwest of the first level of the Martial Temple, in a deep valley called 'Jingshen Peak'. The person guarding the level is named Tietoutuo. It was originally the holy land of Buddhism in Youzhou." A broken monk in the Xuankong Temple was expelled from the Xuankong Temple for secretly learning the first three levels of the holy land's unparalleled martial arts [Immortal Golden Body]. He then wandered around the world, relying on his indestructible body, which no one could control. Fortunately, Zen Master Bujue went down the mountain and joined forces with Qiulong Chenghuang to finally take this person in and imprison him in the Martial Temple Heaven and Earth as a defender. "

"The immortal golden body." Guan Hongluan frowned and said, "It's not easy to break."

"It's not easy for ordinary people to break, but Princess, you have a chance with Ling'er by your side. At the same time... this scroll also records that because of the [Immortal Golden Body] of Tietoutuo, I had to break it." Although the first three levels can withstand the attack of the masters of the five realms, there are still several flaws. The scroll only gives a rough guess that they are in the armpits, under the navel, and weak ribs. "

The masked man said:

"The princess will be able to protect herself with Ling'er and use the Dragon-Subduing Demon-Refining Sword to attack its flaws. She will be 70% sure of passing the test and getting the elixir."

Chen Ku couldn't help but feel speechless when he heard the contents on the scroll.

Such detailed test questions are not disclosed, and even the strategies are written down. It is really not like bullying other people who refer to it at the same time.

"Fortunately, I also saw it, so you can't bully me."

Guan Hongluan noticed the movement of the five-color peacock probing its head, and couldn't help but touch the five-color tail feathers, and said with a smile: "Did you hear that? I want to get the Nine Yang True Pill to break through to the fifth realm, and I need your help!"

The colorful peacock blinked.

Guan Hongluan continued to lower her head and looked at the scroll. There was information about five ring masters on it, as well as some attack strategies. She couldn't help but whisper the names and locations of these people:

"In the pavilion of Endless Valley, the little barbarian king Huha'er is good at using the 'Spike Thousand Nails Stick'. He has the blood of foreign races in his body and can fall into a violent state. To attack, you need to prepare Qingxin Powder or Awakening Incense. If you pass the level, you can get a drop of 'Barbarian Madness' Blood'……"

"In Baihua Valley, the golden-armored centipede has astonishing venom in its two teeth and is invulnerable. To attack, you need to prepare at least four realms of detoxifying pills. If you pass the level, you can get the title of soldier-level 'Golden Armor Bracers'..."

…

Guan Hongluan looked at the five arena positions on the scroll and the information clues about the defenders, and couldn't help but sigh:

"I heard that the world of martial arts is the 'cave realm' opened by the martial temple ordered by the emperor in ancient times. It is like a dragon's nest. It extends from the largest top floor of the central Longjing City to the provinces and counties. There are five levels in total, and each level has nine rings. , in line with the meaning of the "Ninth Five-Year Plan", even the inner world of a martial arts temple in a county has a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, and it is a "small thousand world" that is exactly the same as reality. Not only does it have monsters and monsters in reality, Demons, demons, and all kinds of strange people and strangers live in it. It is extremely vast. If you want to explore opportunities in such a huge martial arts world, without such key clues and roads, I am afraid that even if you get the martial arts golden order, you will just get lost in it. Walking around, I don’t even know where the hidden ring is.”

Chen Ku felt deeply convinced after hearing these words.

The masked man smiled softly and said: "The martial arts world is originally used to test people. Those who can enter the martial arts world are all recognized by the people related to the martial arts temple. It is to cultivate people who can be 'martial arts generals' in the future. Not only to see Its strength also depends on wisdom, luck, etc. After all, martial arts practice is like walking in the rivers and lakes. You cannot just conquer the world with your fists. You also need to pay attention to military techniques, strategies, and adapt to local conditions to cultivate a powerful Zhuguo talent. Therefore, the Martial Temple Those old guys are just like the old guys at the Confucian Temple. They try their best to pose difficult questions to the students in the exam questions, set up hidden levels, and test things other than martial arts. "

"That's true." Guan Hongluan nodded.

Under the merit and title system of the Epoch Dynasty, after a warrior passed the martial arts examination, he would be regarded as having achieved fame and become a future reserve officer of the imperial court.

Ninth-rank martial arts scholar, eighth-rank martial arts scholar, seventh-rank martial arts scholar, sixth-rank martial arts master, fifth-rank martial arts scholar, fourth-rank martial general, third-rank martial prince, second-rank martial king, and first-rank martial pillar.

This is a very long road to promotion in martial arts.

Before passing the Jinshi exam, all the honors were empty titles. Although the position was comparable to that of the fifth rank, there was no real power after all. However, if one could pass the Jinshi exam, it would be equivalent to selecting twenty "best generals of the time" from the national imperial examination. They could be given "military power" with confidence, and from then on, they would become "generals" guarding a region, with tens of thousands of troops under their command. Later, if they could expand the territory, they could be granted a title of nobility. (End of this chapter)
