The Lord who use immortals as food

Unlike the Feather Scale Examination, which is open to the whole world, the Shenjing Martial Arts Examination is the most important and fair channel for the Tang Dynasty to select martial arts talents, and its participants can only be people from the Tang Dynasty.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel allocate different quotas to each state after careful research and judgment, and require each state to determine these quotas through a real sword test.

That is to say, everyone who finally participates in the martial arts competition must have a document from the state that clearly states the year, month and day in which martial arts competition he participated in and where he won.

In addition to this, the two departments also set up a "previous competition" in Shenjing, leaving a full 200 places to feast the world.

Maybe your state is flooded with talents this year but the number of places has not changed, maybe you have encountered an incredible accident, maybe you have suffered an injustice that is difficult to appeal... But no matter what the reason, as long as you are from the Tang Dynasty, as long as you come to Shenjing, you You can get on the stage.

There are no other factors here, only your fist determines your fate. As long as you are indeed the two hundred strongest people, the quota belongs to you as a matter of course.

The methods for selecting talents vary from state to state, and Bowang State adopts the most common one.

First, part of the places to participate in martial arts competitions are allocated to the subordinate counties, and the county government selects talents from the county. If the submitted candidates can get the ranking, the county magistrate will have political achievements, and the county will also receive preferential martial arts resources.

Secondly, a part of the quotas will be allocated to the domestic sects, and they will determine a fixed number of quotas either within the sects or through joint competition among multiple sects.

Thirdly, three or five quotas are given to large merchants in the territory, and each of them is allowed to select a warrior to participate in the selection. The name of the merchant can be written on the clothes. The condition is to bear part of the cost of organizing the martial arts competition and help the state government promote the martial arts competition.

Finally, follow the example of Shenjing and set up a "Bi Qian Bi" in the prefecture and city. It doesn't matter why you failed to be elected through the above three channels, and it doesn't matter where your hometown is. As long as you meet the basic conditions for martial arts, you can be elected here. In the field competition, compete for the final spot based on your ability.

In addition to giving an opportunity to talents who have been buried due to injustice or misfortune, this move can also give an opportunity to outsiders - if any young Fu list master happens to be unable to return to his hometown for comparison in Bowang Prefecture, he will wait until he arrives in Shenjing. Has it become the face of our Bowangzhou?

This is a happy and beautiful expectation of Governor Zhao.

In short, Bowang Prefecture selected a fixed number of warriors through these four channels, and then gathered these warriors in the state city and divided them into one, two and three.

This was not a competition behind closed doors at the yamen, but a grand event held on the largest square in the center of the city in front of countless people.

In the strong atmosphere of martial arts all over the world, martial arts gatherings are undoubtedly the most popular events that appeal to both refined and popular tastes. As you can imagine, a small county like Lian Fenghuai holds a Mid-Autumn martial arts gathering every year and it is quite popular.

Therefore, Bowangzhou's "Three Competitions" are not just to complete the tasks assigned by the court. Bowangzhou itself also wants to make these three competitions as exciting and famous as possible.

Therefore, in addition to the highest reward of "Shenjing Martial Arts Qualification", Bowangzhou itself will also provide - or take out from the hands of merchants - sufficient rewards to the top eight.

This is the reason why many people still come to participate in martial arts competitions despite knowing that they have no chance of winning and have little interest in becoming famous on stage.

"The Golden Autumn Martial Arts Competition you are going to participate in is the first of such a grand event." Master Huang took a sip of wine and continued, "The characteristics of this competition over the years are: the intensity before the first four is significantly lower than the last two. , but starting from four to two, the intensity is the peak of the 'three games'. If the second place player in this game is not injured, he can often get a place in the winter and spring games."

Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, he suddenly understood.

In the first game, no strong player has obtained a quota and withdraws from the competition, so it is naturally the most intense game.

But because of this, many people in the second tier have no hope of winning the championship, and are unwilling to use their full strength in this game to avoid exposing their weaknesses or getting injured. Some want to try again in the second game, while others want to see if they can make a mistake in the third game.

Only when they reached the semi-finals and the chance to win the championship was right in front of them, did the four heroes begin to fight without reservation.

Pei Ye didn't have this idea. He must go all out. Even if he couldn't win the championship, he could still measure his position.

If it doesn't work this time, I will go to Shenjing again to compete for the 200 places.

"Who is fighting Wu Bidu?" Pei Ye pressed Liuli with one hand and peeled the peanuts with the other.

The Golden Autumn Martial Arts Competition is a grand event covering the whole state, but it is not about selecting the best player in the state.

What is the level of the opponent? This is the most important question, and it is also the question that Pei Ye is most concerned about.

"Who do you think he is?"

"great people."

"Hahaha, he's the one who wants to get ahead."

"Um...right."

He is someone who wants to get ahead.

If you want to know the intensity of the Jinqiu martial arts competition, you can actually get a rough idea from the nature of the Shenjing martial arts competition.

First, its lower limit is extremely low.

Because although it is one of the grand events that the world's warriors pay the most attention to, it is after all just a competition to select martial arts.

Since it is a "selection", it means that most of the contestants are not considered "martial arts talents", at least not yet recognized.

If those geniuses from the Immortal Sect Holy Land really wanted to be officials, the Immortal Platform and the Ministry of War would have already reserved enough positions for them.

Famous families will also have their own channels.

Only those who can't find a way or are dissatisfied with the existing channels will come to participate in the martial arts competition.

Therefore, the Shenjing martial arts competition is actually a grand event that is very close to the world and the people. It is an opportunity for white people to compete for their birth status, not a battleground for top talents to compete.

Jing Ziwang, a person with no background and no knowledge of business, could reach the sixth rank in the local area in his eighth life, and he was immediately promoted to the fifth rank when he first became a master.

Lin Lin became a county captain in his fifth lifetime.

The strength of people who are still seeking official positions through martial arts competitions can be imagined.

As long as you are an innocent Tang person and know how to use your hands and feet, you can join in the fun - even if you can't make it to the state capital, you can at least participate in the county election.

And if this county is really too weak, then the tallest among the shortest may be able to participate in the state-city martial arts competition in a lifetime.

But on the other hand, its upper limit is extremely high.

Because the Tang Dynasty was really generous enough to the talents selected in this grand event of the country.

As long as it reaches the top 100, its potential for future development is not comparable to that of a county captain in a remote small county.

If he can enter the top three, he will be a rising star in the military who will have great success in the coming year.

And if you can win the first place and take off the name of "Martial Arts of the Tang Dynasty", you will be in the Tai Chi Hall among thousands of ceremony officials, wearing gorgeous clothes and swords, being looked down upon by saints, wearing princess belts, and you will naturally become the darling of the political world in the future. The future champion of the three armed forces.

Therefore, there is no shortage of Fu Bang participants in all previous Shenjing martial arts competitions.
