I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 38 Ranking on the list (for collection, for further reading)

While Weitu and the others were talking.

Outside the mansion, a few young men who were waiting for their master's house in the alley next door saw this scene, and hurriedly came over, clasped fists to Wei Tu and the others, and asked why the mansion called so many martial artists to enter at night.

"Master Fu, is it dangerous for my young master to enter the government office? The master and grandma are still worried."

The leading boy knew Fu Zhizhou and asked in a tight voice.

"Master Zhifu came to us Jinke martial arts masters just to get acquainted and make friends."

"After a while, your young master will come out."

Fu Zhizhou, Wei Tu and the others made eye contact, and prevaricated to the servant.

Although they sternly rejected He Zhifu and were not involved in it, they did not dare to confide indiscriminately about the matter of Wuyun Tower, which would bring disaster to themselves and their clan.

The four of them all understand the truth that if things are not kept secret, they will lose their integrity, otherwise they would not take the risk of offending the prefect this time and flatly refuse.

Hear this vague answer.

The boys didn't dare to ask, but correspondingly, they felt a little more at ease, at least...it's not dangerous for their young master to enter the government office.

At this time, the servants from Fu Zhizhou's family and the servants sent by Shan Yangong also rushed over and waited on them.

After the four of them asked the boy to go home to report his safety, they set off and walked along the street towards Xuanhe Building.

……

After half an hour.

Xuanhe Building.

After drinking for three rounds, it is approaching dawn.

Fu Zhizhou didn't hesitate when he saw that the three of Wei Tu were full of wine and food, and immediately asked the waiter to call the shopkeeper to prepare the incense table and a series of things for worship.

"It's for real?" Wei Tu was secretly surprised when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that Fu Zhizhou didn't lie, and sworn brothers with the three of them after leaving the government office.

At that time, people valued faith.

Especially among martial artists, sworn brothers who are allied by blood are closer than their own flesh and blood brothers. If you violate the "Golden Orchid Oath", you will be despised by the world and reviled forever.

After all, flesh and blood brothers are born, and those who can become Jinlan brothers are all like-minded people.

However, this matter has a lot of benefits for Weitu himself, so he didn't stop it, but was happy to see it happen.

The three of Fu Zhizhou were able to see the danger of the Wuyunlou incident in the government office, and they resisted the pressure from the magistrate He—this undoubtedly proved that the three of Fu Zhizhou had great vision and perseverance.

In addition, the three of them, like him, are all well-known and top-ranking martial artists in the Dao Exam, which shows that the potential of the three of them is not small.

The four of them had a similar starting point and the same goal, and they had a foundation of trust to resist He Zhifu...

It can be said that no one is more suitable than them to sworn brothers and conspire with each other for the future.

lean less.

In a box in Xuanhe Building, there is an incense table, on which are three animals, an incense burner, live chickens, a jar of wine, and a book.

On the cover of the booklet are written "Jinlanpu" in big characters.

Next.

The four are ranked according to age and seniority.

Of the four,
Kou Liang is 24 years old, the oldest, and is considered the eldest brother by Wei Tu and the others.

Wei Fei ranks second in age, at 23 years old, becoming the second elder brother among the four.

After that, it was Wei Tu and Fu Zhizhou.

After Fu Zhizhou reported his age, Wei Tu and Wei Fei were a little dumbfounded. The two of them did not expect that Fu Zhizhou, who had the highest martial arts skills, had not yet reached the age of being a weak champion this year.

"It's no wonder the youth is angry." Seeing this, Wei Tu secretly sighed.

"When the fourth brother was in Xiaoyi Mansion, he was known as a martial arts genius. I thought he would participate in the next martial arts exam. I never thought that he would participate in the current martial arts exam with me..."

After seeing the expressions of Wei Tu and Wei Fei, Kou Liang smiled slightly and said.

Finished.

Kou Liang didn't say much, he took out a dagger from his waist, grabbed the live chicken's wing on the incense table, and wiped it hard.

In an instant, the neck of the live chicken broke, and blood splashed into the wine jar.

immediately.

Kou Liang wiped his palm again with the knife.

Dark red blood dripped down the tip of the knife into the wine jar.

Afterwards, Wei Tu, Wei Fei, and Fu Zhizhou also took the dagger and repeated Kou Liang's actions.

The blood wine in the jar was shaken well and poured into four rough porcelain bowls.

The four of them drank blood wine together, began to drink blood to form an alliance, and recited oaths together.

"The four of us are here to worship here today, the emperor is above, and the thick soil is the proof..."

"...Brotherhood, death and life support each other, good and bad times save each other, fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and we share weal and woe..."

Just read the oath sentence by sentence.

The four respected each other in order, and named the organization formed by the four as "Yishe".

The name of the righteous society was proposed by Wei Tu, and it was unanimously praised by Kou Liang, Wei Fei, and Fu Zhizhou.

The voice fell.

this moment.

It happened to be bright outside the window.

"It's released."

"Today's martial arts exam has been released."

Outside the Xuanhe Building, there was a sudden bustling of people, many martial artists came out of the guest rooms, and rushed to the Wugong Academy excitedly, ready to read the list.

"Congratulations to Mr. Fu for being ranked second in the high school rankings. He is No. 2 in the current martial arts exam, a first-class martial arts scholar..."

At this time, the shopkeeper of Xuanhe Building knocked on the door of the private room, and congratulated Fu Zhizhou outside the door.

Xuanhe Building is a well-known building in Qingfeng Mansion, with full services, not only the most basic food and lodging services of the inn, but also the service of reading the rankings to help Confucian scholars and martial artists.

Two hours ago, Fu Zhizhou had already spent money and asked Xuanhelou to read the list.

Therefore, after the announcement of the list, and knowing Fu Zhizhou's ranking, the shopkeeper of Xuanhe Building immediately stopped what he was doing, and came to the box where the four of Wei Tu were to congratulate him.

"Congratulations, fourth brother."

"Won the second place in the Middle Way Examination, first-class martial artist."

Congratulations to Wei Tu and others.

Although they had known for a long time that Fu Zhizhou had done well in the Daoist Examination, it was still a matter of congratulations that his ranking had been confirmed.

"I just don't know what I'm waiting for..."

Wei Fei looked worried.

Although he didn't think that Zhifu He had the strength to intervene in the list of Taoist examinations, what if, what if he didn't win the martial arts exam and lost his fame...

listen to this.

Weitu also had hidden worries in his heart.

"rest assured."

"He Zhifu doesn't dare to act recklessly. An official like him seeks stability. Even if he has the ability to try the list, he doesn't dare."

Fu Zhizhou restrained his smile, and comforted his three newly recognized righteous brothers.

"Shopkeeper, walk slowly." At this moment, the voice of the waiter from the Xuanhelou shop sounded from outside the house.

The waiter panted and said, "I haven't finished talking about the ranking of the guests in Room [-] of Tianzi."

"what?"

"The other three, are there any who entered the list of the Daoist Examination?"

The shopkeeper of Xuanhe Building was surprised when he heard the words. Although he didn't say this sentence, the expression on his face showed it.

Dao test is not easy, one of the four is selected, it is a blessing, there is no possibility that there is a second person among the four.

"The guests in room No. [-] of Tianzi are all on the Taoist examination list posted by the Wugong Academy."

The waiter hurriedly replied.

Then, he read out the rankings of Wei Tu and the others.

"Master Wei Tuwei, No. 12 in the current martial arts examination, is a second-class martial arts scholar."

"Kou Liang... No. 17 in the current martial arts examination, a second-class martial arts scholar."

"Wei Fei... 30th place in No. [-] of the current martial arts examination, and a third-class martial arts scholar."
