Ruins of the past
Chapter 156 Talent
On the southern plain of Lingzhou, there is a sudden peak reaching into the sky, like a pillar connecting the sky and the earth.
The mountains behind the peak are criss-crossed, undulating and overlapping, extending for hundreds of miles southward, dividing Lingzhou and Luozhou in the south into two.
At this time, Jiang Longyu arrived at the agreed-upon location at the foot of the mountain in a carriage, and saw that more than ten people were already waiting here.
When one of them saw Jiang Longyu, he immediately came up to him: "Huang Xiangyu, may I ask if you are the martial arts prodigy Jiang Longyu?"
Jiang Longyu nodded slightly, looking cold.
But Huang Xiangyu was not unusual at all. He was originally the son of a wealthy businessman. He had been accustomed to intrigues and intrigues since he was a child, and he also developed a thick skin.
For this training at Chaoyao Mountain, he came a month early.
He even got to know an officer on the mountain through the cook who went down to buy ingredients.
After some bribery, I collected a lot of information in advance, and even learned who was participating in the Demon Suppression Division training this time.
Among them, the one he paid most attention to was Jiang Longyu, one of the eight generals of the Xinghan Dynasty.
At this moment, he completely ignored Jiang Longyu's coldness and wanted to drag Jiang Longyu to drink a few cups of tea.
But I heard Jiang Longyu say helplessly: "Alas... I only drink the spiritual water from Zulong Mountain. I can't get used to drinking other water, it will cause diarrhea."
Huang Xiangyu smiled coquettishly, and when he was about to say something to ease the embarrassment, he saw a small flag from the Demon Suppressing Division running down the mountain.
The Xiaoqi of the Suppressing Demon Division is considered to be the lowest official rank within the Suppressing Demon Division, and those below are ordinary soldiers.
The little flag walked directly to Jiang Longyu and said with a respectful expression: "This is Mr. Jiang Longyu, right? Rooms, food, wine and hot water have been prepared on the mountain. Sir, please come with me."
Jiang Longyu ordered: "Besides me, there is also my luggage."
Xiao Qi looked at Jiang Longyu's carriage and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you deliver it myself."
Jiang Longyu reminded: "My luggage is at the back. There are probably more than ten carriages."
"What's inside is the ingredients, medicinal materials, incense, Zulong Mountain spiritual water, and clothes that I will use in the next half month..."
Jiang Longyu shrugged: "Don't look at me like that. I don't want to take it with you, but it's all given by the emperor. What can I do?"
Seeing Jiang Longyu being picked up like this, a young man walked up next to Huang Xiangyu and said, "Who is this person? So arrogant?"
Huang Xiangyu glanced at the young man. He and this young man were also old acquaintances. This young man was the young escort leader of the Changfeng Escort Agency, and the locally famous young swordsman of the Escort Agency.
Huang Xiangyu said: "Let me tell you, Li Chu, you don't even know the martial arts prodigy Jiang Longyu? He is the best martial artist in the third realm in the world, but if you count the days, he will soon break through the fourth realm."
The young man known as Li Chu said: "The best three-level warrior in the world? You are wrong. I heard that he was knocked down in Beiyue Mansion before."
Huang Xiangyu said: "Chu Qiguang of Beiyue Mansion, of course I know, but you only know one but not the other."
"Chu Qi defeated Jiang Longyu with a sneak attack, and Jiang Longyu is best at swordsmanship. Weapons cannot be used in the martial arts arena. These things have long been spread throughout Beiyue Mansion."
"So I say, the best warrior of the third realm in the world is still Jiang Longyu. But maybe this year he will be the best warrior of the fourth realm."
Li Chu nodded and said, "No wonder you want to hug someone's thigh when you see him."
Huang Xiangyu said: "If we don't hug our thighs, are we relying on ourselves?"
Li Chuyi raised his chest and said, "Why can't it work? Men should strengthen themselves!"
Huang Xiangyu just sneered: "Have you ever been to the capital to see Wu Jinshi's arena?"
Li Chu shook his head: "No, what's wrong?"
Huang Xiangyu said with a face of vicissitudes of life: "I have gone to see it. I have gone to see every Wu Jinshi arena in the past ten years."
"The first time I watched the Wu Jinshi Arena, I was only 16 years old. That year I was already at the first level of martial arts. I thought I was still a little genius. I felt that one day I would become famous, honor my ancestors, and even join the Tao in the future. , it may not necessarily go down in history.”
Li Chu nodded, that's what he was thinking now.
"Later, my dad went to Beijing to make connections, and he took me to see the Wu Jinshi Arena."
"I still clearly remember the first show I watched...one party's name was Qi Baige, and the other party's name was Si Changhong."
"Both of them are experts at the fifth level of martial arts. The fight was so dark that the sky was dark and the earth was dark. The sound of the fists colliding was like thunder. The wind from the palms would blow me down."
"I have never seen such a strong warrior take action."
"At that time, I admired them both very much and wanted to be as strong as them in the future."
“But then I watched the second game…the third game…the fourth game…”
"They are all fifth-level warriors... In the entire martial arts competition, there are more than a hundred fifth-level warriors competing."
"Every one of them can crush me like a bug. The talent of each of them is not inferior to mine, and many of them are even far beyond me."
"To this day, ten years later, I haven't been able to catch up with any of them..."
"I have watched this kind of martial arts competition for three times..."
"And until the third session, the first five-level arena I saw... the one named Qi Baige, he still failed to pass the martial arts examination."
"As for another one named Si Changhong, he was admitted to Jinshi in the second term. It turns out that this person is also a ruthless person. He directly went to the emperor and scolded the emperor for spending too much on training, causing the people to have a hard time, and the government to be neglected."
"Later, the emperor used Taoism to knock him down from the fifth realm and back to the fourth realm. He has not yet returned from practice."
"Do you understand? Li Chu, our talents are great in our hometown, but if you put them in the world...we have too many of them."
"Our talent is no longer enough to keep us competitive in this competition."
"And people like Jiang Longyu can easily break our limits, so it is inevitable that they will enter the Tao in the future."
"Talent is something that sets a ceiling for our achievements as early as the moment we are born."
"Only by working behind a genius like Jiang Longyu can we break through this upper limit."
After listening to what Huang Xiangyu said, Li Chu still looked dumbfounded: "You...why haven't you said this before? What you said...I don't even want to practice martial arts anymore."
"You still have to practice martial arts." Huang Xiangyu patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Otherwise you won't even be able to compare with me."
Then there were more and more people, and soon there were more than a hundred people.
Not only the participants themselves came, but also the boys, grooms, and book boys they brought with them.
They were all gathered together in groups, accompanied by bursts of noise, looking messy.
Huang Xiangyu's eyes were darting around, and he kept looking around in the crowd. Suddenly, his eyes focused on a fifteen-year-old boy who was alone.
He immediately walked up and asked, "Your Excellency, Huang Xiangyu, do you dare to ask Mr. Chu Qi Guangchu?"
Chu Qiguang nodded, and Huang Xiangyu raised his hands with excitement and said: "Young Master Chu punched Jiang Longyu in Beiyue Mansion and kicked the heroes of Beiyue. His martial arts talent is unparalleled in the world. I have admired him for a long time."
"Also, after you returned to Qingyang County, you founded the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce and swept the cotton spinning industry in Yuefu, all north of China. Every time I hear about it, I yearn for it."
