Rebirth of the Red Mansion: Zhen Jue's Amnesty

022 Martial Arts 1

For the people of the Qing Dynasty, martial arts competitions were a major event every three years. Although everyone valued literature over martial arts, it was undeniable that martial arts competitions were always more lively than literary competitions.

(PS: I don’t know if the martial arts contest in the Qing Dynasty can watch Meiyu, but in this article, everyone can watch it from the sidelines)

Compared with Wenju, where everyone was locked up in a small cell for the exam because of fear of cheating, Wuju was much simpler, and you could tell if it was real or not.

Therefore, when Jia Amnesty followed the school examiners to the riding and archery field for the first round and saw the crowds of onlookers, he had the illusion of being back in a trance.

The first test is riding and archery. As the name suggests, it is horse riding and archery.

In one trial of horseback archery, the horse gallops three times and shoots nine arrows. If the three arrows hit the target, it is qualified. Those who fail to reach three arrows are not allowed to participate in the second round. (The above is from Du Niang)

In general, the rules are two words: simple, if you say it is simple, it is really simple, the venue has been set up, there are special recorders, everyone only needs to go up and take the test.

The difficulty is that it is different from standing on the ground and shooting a target. Archery on a moving horse requires not only good eyesight, but also good coordination, and more importantly, good luck.

However, those who will apply for the martial arts exam will naturally have confidence in this point. After all, this is different from the literary exam and not knowing the topic before the exam.

For thousands of years, martial arts exams have been tested, such as riding and archery, martial arts, etc. The difference lies in the setting of the venue, obstacles on the road, and the distance between the target and the like.

In fact, the most important thing is time, especially since there are thousands of people who apply for the exam, even if one person takes a quarter of an hour, he can't finish the exam in a day.

Simply, the ancients have already summed up the method. The order of the examination is determined by drawing lots, and everyone can receive a number plate that is the same as the ranking drawn by the lottery.

When playing according to the ranking, you will receive nine cloth strips with the same numbers as the number plates. These number strips need to be tied to the arrow branches by the referees themselves.

After the exam, there will be special personnel to collect the arrow branches, and then hand them over to the special recording personnel to record. The whole process is under the eyes of everyone, trying to avoid cheating.

Of course, as I said before, you have to be lucky, because in order to save time, the exams are all in groups of ten.

Although there are clear rules that do not secretly use stumbling blocks to frame other people, there are loopholes that can be exploited in all regulations. If you really want to frame other people, there are still ways, as long as the means are strong enough to prevent people from discovering.

Jia Shen's luck was very good, but the number was more than 200, so it was Jia Shen's turn to get the number slip just after three quarters.

Among the ten people in the same group as Jia She, there are only two teenagers, Jia She and a boy with a baby face, and the others are at least in their 20s. At least from the outside, they are really rough and full of martial arts practitioners. instant appearance.

"Hey, what's your name?" Probably because Jia She was the only one of the same age, the boy followed Jia She in the doorway.After finishing speaking, he might feel that he was being impolite, so he added: "My name is Kuang Tianyou, and I live in Meiling Town on the outskirts of the city."

Kuang Tianyou has a baby face, but he speaks carefreely. He looks innocent, which may be because he is favored at home.

"My name is Jia She, and I live in the capital, but my ancestral home is in Jinling." Jia She replied with a smile.

"That's so far away!" Kuang Tianyou's eyes widened in surprise.

Kuang Tianyou wanted to say something else, but the two of them had already arrived at the place where they were receiving the number slips, so he could only shut up and follow Jia She to get the things.

Jia Amnesty tied the number strips to the arrow branch in a slow manner while paying attention to the situation in the examination room.

Just now those who didn't get their numbers were arranged in another place. Jia Amnesty and others also got to lead the stage. Only now can they know what the examination room looks like.

The entire test site is very large, and if it is not too big, it is impossible for a group of ten test takers to take the test together.

However, apart from its large size, there is something else about this field, that is, the archery targets placed on the field are all different in distance.

Come to think of it, martial arts is not so easy, the targets are all placed in the same place for you to shoot.

Moreover, the ground is uneven, the ground is splashed with water, sand and stones are small things, and these artificial obstacles can still cause a lot of trouble for the reference.

The referees who could have come were basically full of confidence, but more than half of them had already gone after the first round.

Jia Amnesty doesn't care about himself, he has confidence in himself, this little trouble is nothing to him.

Kuang Tianyou who was with him surprised him a bit. This kid seemed to be quite good at kung fu. Not only was he not timid when he saw so many people returning without success, and even some people were injured and almost died due to accidents, his eyes were full of Full of self-confidence that is determined to win.

Jia She's eyes flashed brightly, and he said comfortingly: "Don't worry, as long as you treat it with a normal heart and use your strength as usual."

"I'm not worried. I haven't tried such a special way of riding and shooting." Kuang Tianyou looked at Jia Amnesty with a strange expression.

I'm not worried. I don't know where Jia She could tell that he was worried. Kuang Tianyou's face clearly showed this line of words, which made Jia She dumbfounded.

At this time, someone came to inform that Jia She and his group were on the stage. Jia She coughed, straightened his face, carried the quiver on his back, and entered the stage with arrogance (actually pretending to be serious).

How dazzling will Jia Shen's performance be?Let's listen to the next chapter and break it down~~Meme~~~
