Chapter 559: Let’s get him!
"The Huo family kid?"

Old Man Cui said, "You haven't been home for a long time, so I don't know a lot of things. Do you have any impression of Xu Kaifeng's daughter, my little cousin, from the third room next door?"

Xu fell into memories.

"I've always loved having two buns on my head since I was a kid?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I love buns!" Old Man Cui tapped his cane, "About thirty years ago, your cousin married into the Huo family in Yunzhou next door. She didn't get pregnant for three years. The first year was fine, but the next two years were a mess.

They quarreled about taking a concubine every now and then, and went back to visit their parents. Hey, who would have thought that after a quarrel three years later, she would get pregnant within two months of taking the concubine back. It turned out that she was carrying a good boy, and she was born with a Yaksha bone!
The Huo family treasured the child very much. On the day of the birth, they gave him a big red envelope of 166,000 taels, beat gongs and drums to announce the good news to the Xu family, and asked the ancestors to give him a name, Huo Hongyuan. "

"I have some impression. Isn't that good?"

"Of course it's good. He was born with a strong martial spirit. Even if it's not good enough, it's a good thing. This little Yaksha is also doing well. He's twenty-five or twenty-six this year.

The year before last, I passed the imperial military examination and won the list of the twenty-eight wolf-smoke constellations, ranking seventh in the east constellation, corresponding to the 'Jishui Leopard', and changed my fate to patrol the sea Yaksha. "

"It's a good kid, Uncle Cui is not happy?"

Xu asked with a smile.

If it is really that good, then, to be polite, we should at least say that it is no worse than the other party.

How could he pat Ah Shui on the shoulder and say that one is not as good as the other? He must have something bad going on.

really.

Old Man Cui sighed.

"Well, although he has good abilities, he has been spoiled by the Huo family since he was a child! He is arrogant and stubborn, and is not as calm as you disciples.

That little Yaksha, before he passed the martial arts examination, his fate was that of an angry Yaksha, chasing servants since he was young... After he passed the martial arts examination, his fate changed, but there was no improvement.

A few days ago, I came to Xu's house with another fellow named 'Tail Fire Tiger' to stay for two days. We took a boat to the south to visit Mount Lushan. I saw that he was exactly the same as before, looking down on people with his nose.

"Young people are boundless and full of energy. Look at Xiaojiu..."

Mrs. Xu chatted with Old Man Cui.

The fellow disciples who fell behind were not alarmed, their eyes moving back and forth.

Yaksha bone?
Patrolling the sea Yaksha?
No wonder.

Among the more than 30 people present, there are three types of martial bones.

Liang Qu, Guan Congjian, Zong Lichan, which one is not?
Junior brother Wu Gu is even more outrageous.

It is unusual for a god to disappear twice.

Although Old Man Cui was old, his mind had not become dull. His gaze fell on Guan Congjian behind him. He realized that he had forgotten something before and took two steps back.

"What disciple are you of Master Yang?"

"Me? Old man, you've made a mistake. I'm not Master Yang's disciple." Guan Congjian said carelessly, striding to stand next to Helian Nianci, "This is my master. I'm going to Datong Prefecture, the Hanging Temple, which is on my way. I heard there's a big hunting meeting, so I'll stay in Huangzhou for a while."

Helian Nianci said: "Brother Yang and I are colleagues in Pingyang Prefecture, and Congjian is my disciple."

The master and his disciple originally wanted to dock at Huangzhou and head north, but when they heard that there was a fun event on the boat, they changed their minds temporarily.

You can try the Hanging Temple challenge at any time, it is an annual event that only comes once a year.

Good opportunity.

Maybe Guan Congjian can open two more meridians.

"Oh, the Grand Hunting Fair." Old Man Cui suddenly realized, "This year the full moon will be on the 20th, in another eleven or twelve days it will be, and it will coincide with Mr. Xu's birthday. Our family will give out a lot of prizes. We will give out five bottles of Light Vein Marrow Jade Liquid, and the first three will get one. The rest of the families will also give a lot."

"That's perfect!" Guan Congjian clapped his hands. "After attending the Grand Hunting Meeting, I'll go to Datong Prefecture. Maybe we'll run into each other again when I come back. Let's go back together."

"Ambitious……"

Liang Qu approached Yang Xu and said, "Big Brother, from what Elder Cui said, can passing the martial arts exam change one's fate?"

"Yes, fate is not absolute. You should know that, right?"

"know."

Fate cannot be used as a guiding light, it is for reference only.

Because the relationships between people are ever-changing, their destinies often influence each other.

A person with a good destiny may die before success, while a person with a bad destiny can still rise to prominence with the help of a noble person.

When you encounter some critical junctures, escape death, and have an epiphany, your destiny will change like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.

Liang Qu had some understanding of this before he had his horoscope taken.

Yang Xu said: "The Ministry of Rites has an imperial examination every three years, and the same is true for the military examination. According to age and realm, the most popular ones are the 28 Wolf Smoke Stars under the age of 30. They have the greatest potential. Once they are ranked, their lives will change drastically, which will naturally have an impact on their personal destiny."

Liang Qu was puzzled.

"That's all. Not everyone should change, right? Some people say it's just their destiny. Are there more people like this?"

"The court deliberately arranged the 28 constellations, and naturally took a lot of measures, taking into account the weather and the terrain. The 'angry Yaksha' became the 'patrolling sea Yaksha', which is less angry and violent, but has more abilities, so it's not bad. The court arranged the Jishuibao, so there must be some explanation. It is probably a water Yaksha."

"Since Ah Shui is not yet 30, can he participate in the martial arts examination next March?"

Xu Zishuai suddenly had an idea.

Liang Qu used less than 30% of his strength, but he was able to defeat his senior brother Yu Dun who was about to embark on the tiger hunting journey.

In other words, even Tianqiao's perfect master of wolf smoke cannot beat his junior brother with just one hand with his two hands!

If he were to participate in the Wolf Smoke Martial Arts Examination with such strength, wouldn't he just kill people indiscriminately?

After taking the stage, he punched a little genius!

"Only commoners can take part in the imperial examination. If an official wants to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, he must first give up his official position. The same is true for the military examination, right?" Liang Qu looked at his eldest brother.

"No, the nature of the martial arts examination is different from that of the imperial examination. It's like signing a military order in exchange for an opportunity." Yang Xu shook his head. "Junior brother, your age and realm are all met, and your household registration and birthplace are even clearer. This is enough, but it's really unnecessary." "What do you mean?"

"Today, if Junior Brother Liang were to participate, even if he relied on the age limit of thirty and moved up a level for every three years younger, and ranked first in the East Constellation, 'Jiao Mu Jiao', he wouldn't get much benefit.

In terms of official evaluation, once the Twenty-Eight Wolf Smoke Stars were recorded by the Ministry of Personnel, the starting official rank was the seventh rank, and most were the sixth rank. However, there were very few who were awarded a rank higher than the sixth rank.

If you lack experience, the imperial court will not hastily promote you to a key position. It has always been a common practice to let you adapt for at least a year or two.

In terms of fate, Chang Jiao walking on the river is quite extraordinary. Yaksha is just a minor evil god, a minor evil ghost. Jiao walking on the river is Canglong, a great righteous god. In terms of status, it is no worse than the Great Pillar God Mountain of the Dragon Elephant Martial Saint. The ranking of the twenty-eight constellations of the wolf smoke of the imperial court cannot change it. "

"What about reputation? It's always good to gain more fame, right? Going to the imperial capital to meet the Holy Emperor and leave an impression, wouldn't that be a great profit?"

Lu Gang asked back: "Junior brother, you have received the Holy Emperor's order, so isn't your name on the list?"

"There's no reason to complain about having too much."

Yang Xu smiled and said, "If you really want fame, instead of traveling thousands of miles to the imperial capital and wasting months to sign up, participate, and compete, you might as well find a reason and a chance to compete with the current 'Jiaomu Jiao' in public. If you win, won't you get everything?"

Xu Zishuai was stunned.

“Can you pick peaches like this?”

"Why not? Every year, people go to pick this big peach. They just pick the place with the most people. Sometimes, they block the entrance of the martial arts examination and challenge the Twenty-Eight Mansions. Some even win."

"How could this be?"

Hu Qi was puzzled. Even if he had won the first place in the martial arts examination, there would still be people who are better than him?
How high is the sky?

Yu Dun added: "The Twenty-Eight Wolf Smoke Mansions were not meant to select the best young men in Dashun in the past three years. After all, some people have already entered the tiger hunting realm before the age of thirty and become sixth-rank or even fifth-rank officials. Would they lower their status and join the queue?"

"Some people even like to take shortcuts. The ranking of martial arts exams is not based on absolute strength. Age and talent both add points. If one loses a fight, his ranking may not be worse than the other party if he has the advantage of age.

But ordinary people don't understand the twists and turns, they just look at who is lying and who is standing, some people specifically pick these stars with great potential but have not yet been fulfilled. "

Xu Zishuai was greatly enlightened.

There are always more solutions than problems.

It's so stupid.

Liang Qu felt embarrassed when he heard this.

"My senior brothers may not think too highly of me. There are so many talented people in the whole Dashun, and it is not easy to get only 28 places."

Several senior brothers sang in unison, saying that getting the first place in the martial arts exam was as easy as taking something out of a bag.

In the end, no one paid any attention to what I said.

Everyone was talking about their own things and ignored the talk.

"What a pity! I was thinking of coming to Huangzhou with my master's wife this year, and going to the imperial capital with my junior brother next year to see the world."

Xu Zishuai hugged the back of his neck.

You can't bear the pain alone.

I really want to see the scene where my junior brother stands on the ring, with his natural supernatural powers, and sends out smoke signals on the overpass with one punch.

The expressions of the audience below must have been quite exciting.

"You have no official position and can leave at any time. If you really want to go to the imperial capital, come with me to the north after celebrating your birthday. I'll turn a corner and drop you off."

“Traveling far away is fun only when you are with others. It’s boring without any acquaintances.”

"The martial arts exam is held every three years. Those who can take the top spot must have extraordinary abilities. Brothers, you must not underestimate the heroes of the world." Liang Qu emphasized again.

"How about Senior Brother Yang stay in the capital for two more days? And call Junior Brother Hu and Junior Brother Xiang, and let's go together?"

Yang Xu waved his hand and said, "I don't have time. The martial arts exam will take place in March or April, or even later in May. If I stay until then, wouldn't that mean I'll be away from my post for half a year? If I go back, Grandmaster Kou will probably treat me as a deserter."

"Why do you have to go to the imperial capital?" Guan Congjian interrupted, "Isn't your distant relative, Huo Hongyuan, a ready-made Twenty-Eight Mansions? He's two years short, twenty-five or twenty-six, so he shouldn't have been included in the Tiger Hunting Program, right?"

"That's right! I'll ask Master's wife about her relationship with her cousin, and whether they pulled each other's pigtails when they were young. If it's not good, let me find a reason to beat that little Yaksha! Avenge Master's wife!"

"Yes, revenge!"

"Far away, but close by, it smells bad. There are no relatives in the world who don't quarrel. There must be hatred! Kill, kill, kill!"

"You little 'Jishuibao', you sea demon, don't know how high the sky is, how thick the earth is, how ridiculous!"

"The responsibility of the duel will be handed over to Junior Brother Xu!"

Yang Xu patted Xu Zishuai on the shoulder.

Oops!
Being subjected to cold violence!
Liang Qu suddenly became invisible.

"Miss, here we are."

Cross the round gate and enter the landscape courtyard.

Old Leader Cui led everyone across the green bamboo path, not to the reception hall, but to the quiet study in the villa.

There are dense green shades and rows of purple bamboos.

A small waterfall cascades down from the lake rocks.

The noise of the crowd shouting and killing came to a halt.

Xu's steps became lighter.

Yang Dongxiong twirled his beard.

"father!"
