Jiang Hu Qi Gong Lu

Chapter 13
Half an hour later, Renjiang put his sword back into the scabbard, and after taking a long breath, he turned to look at Lin Xiqi and asked, "Little brother, what's the matter with you?"

"Can't I watch Senior Brother practice your sword if you have nothing to do?" Lin Xiqi asked back.

"Okay, but you have to hurry up and practice, don't let the master talk about you again." Renjiang laughed.

"Hmph, don't underestimate me. After a while, I will definitely surprise you." Lin Xiqi snorted softly.

"Oh? I'll take note of what you said, and it's up to you how you surprise us." Renjiang laughed loudly, obviously he didn't take Lin Xiqi's words seriously.

Lin Xiqi knew that no one would believe what he said, but he didn't care because he was already working hard.

"If you are fine, go back quickly, I will continue to practice swords." After calming down a little, Ren Jiang said.

"Brother, are you working so hard?" Lin Xiqi asked.

"If you don't work hard, you can't do it. Have you forgotten? In half a month, our Dunhuang County's annual martial arts competition will be held." Ren Jiang said.

"Ah, senior brother, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it." Lin Xiqi said in surprise, "Brother, last time you almost entered the top 20 in the group under the age of [-], this time it should be very easy." Are you sure?"

"How can I be sure? I'm already 20 years old this year. It's the last chance for the junior group. Even if I get lucky enough to make it to the top [-], I'm too old and my potential is far inferior to other people younger than me." Ren Jiang shook his head. .

Every state in the rivers and lakes holds such competitions every year, and these competitions usually take the top [-].

Children under 20 years old belong to the juvenile group, those under 40 years old belong to the juvenile group, those under 60 years old belong to the youth group, those under 60 years old belong to the middle-aged group, and those over [-] years old belong to the senior group.

Among the five groups of competitions, there are mainly the juvenile group and the youth group.

The juvenile group is too young and the foundation is not stable, while the youth group can basically see a person's talent and potential.

If you perform well in the competition, you will be favored by some big factions and become their disciples.

Such an opportunity is what the disciples of all major and minor sects dream of, because the skills and resources of the minor sects are not as good as those of the great sects.

Once a disciple shines in the competition and is accepted by those big sects, it will not only be beneficial to this disciple, but also beneficial to this small sect.

In the future, when this disciple is promising, he will take care of the sect he once came out of.

Even if you don't want to join those sects, not to mention the top [-] in a state, even the top [-] in a county, you will be rewarded by the county guard.

The youth group basically doesn't look at potential, but at strength, and they generally won't join other sects.

The purpose of their coming to the competition is to show their own strength. Regardless of the imperial court, famous families in the world, and some merchants and aristocrats, there is a demand for recruiting masters. These recruited masters are called enshrined priests, guest ministers, etc., and their treatment is excellent. .

The middle-aged and elderly groups are generally not held very often, and even if they are held, they are held once every ten years.

When it is held, ordinary people can also see it.

There are many ways to do this competition, it is not necessarily just a two-person competition, but most of the time it is a ranking of the recently emerging masters by some highly respected seniors in the rivers and lakes.

Those under the age of 60 are called the "Tiger List", and those over the age of 60 are called the "Dragon List".

The "Tiger List" has [-] people in each session, and the "Dragon List" has [-] people in each session.

Every time these two rankings are held, the heroes of the rivers and lakes are extremely crazy, because it represents strength and fame.

The masters on the "Tiger List" are generally masters between the ages of 40 and 60. Of course, occasionally some young wizards under the age of 40 are on the list.

The "Dragon List" are generally masters over 60 years old. Similarly, there are also some wizards who are less than [-] years old and have the strength to make the list.

"Eldest brother, you can do it." Lin Xiqi said, "Eldest brother, if you enter the top [-], will you leave Fuyunzong?"

"How is that possible?" Renjiang shook his head and said, "Junior brother, I participate in this kind of competition because I want to compete with the masters of my generation and improve my strength. I never thought about other sects."

"But those big sects have better exercises." Lin Xiqi said again.

"Even if you become a disciple of those great sects, you will have to wait for many years to be taught advanced exercises. Some poor students will not be able to get any suitable exercises in their lifetime. Those sects fight openly and secretly, intrigue, such What's so good about life?" Renjiang laughed, "How can the Fuyun sect be so harmonious?"

"That's true." Lin Xiqi nodded.

"Junior brother, you are ten years old this year, and you are eligible to join the juvenile group. Do you want to mention it to Master?" Renjiang asked.

"Forget it, the juvenile group is boring, am I bullying the younger? I'm going to join the juvenile group next year." Lin Xiqi said.

After hearing Lin Xiqi's words, Ren Jiang smiled and didn't say much, he just said casually.

In fact, Renjiang is not optimistic about Lin Xiqi, even though Lin Xiqi's age is the biggest limit of the juvenile group, but in terms of strength, some younger than Lin Xiqi are far above him.

Of course, he knows how Lin Xiqi's martial arts are. It should be said that he is the poorest in the same age, and he has no chance to participate in the competition.

Suddenly, a weird smile appeared on Lin Xiqi's face, staring at Renjiang and laughing.

Renjiang was a little confused, and asked curiously: "Little brother, is there something dirty on my face?"

"No!" Lin Xiqi shook her head and said, "I was thinking that brother just said that participating in the competition is to compete with peers. I don't think it may be."

"Then what do you think I am for?" Ren Jiang asked with a chuckle.

"Then I still have to ask? It must be for Senior Sister Zhang!" Ren Yue also came here at some point and shouted loudly.

After finishing speaking, he complained to Lin Xiqi: "Little brother, you took Xiaohu out for a walk and didn't tell me. It's hard to find me."

Lin Xiqi laughed, ignored Ren Yue, and said to Ren Jiang: "Brother, do you think so?"

Renjiang blushed slightly, coughed lightly and said: "Go, go, go back quickly, what's the fuss about nothing!"

Hearing this, Lin Xiqi became even more energetic and said, "Brother, if you fail this time, be careful that Senior Sister Zhang ignores you."

After Lin Xiqi finished speaking, he ran away, and Ren Yue scolded and begged for mercy from behind.

Apparently the big brother Ren Jiang was caught by Lin Xiqi's words, and he became a little angry from embarrassment. He ran away, but Ren Yue didn't react for a while, and was taught a lesson by Ren Jiang.

Lin Xiqi sat on a rock beside the path ahead and waited for a while before seeing Ren Yue catching up.

"I'm so mad, you escaped fast enough, I was hurt by you." Ren Yue walked over and said, clutching his buttocks.
