Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 172 The Strong

The practitioners of the Northern Wei Dynasty were tall and strong.

This is the unified impression of the people in the world on the practitioners of the Northern Wei Dynasty, not to mention that even if they are not practitioners, it is a common phenomenon that northerners are taller than southerners.

In the world of practice, although practice does not depend entirely on physical ability, natural physical conditions still have a huge impact.The taller the body, the more muscles it has, and the longer the arm length. Under equal conditions and skills, the taller person has an absolute advantage.

The vigorous physique is an important reliance for the practitioners of the Northern Wei Dynasty to gain a reputation in the practice circle, and it has also become their symbol.

In the same way, as the strongest person leading a group of young practitioners, the stepson of the Northern Wei Dynasty, even if he is not the tallest among the group, he should be the best in terms of stature.

Looking at the commotion and shock crowd outside the carriage, Ying Baoyue was not surprised.

Because unlike some countries, such as the former Qin Dynasty, and the stepsons directly appointed by the kings, the stepsons of the Northern Wei Dynasty have always been the most authentic stepsons of all countries.

The harsher the environment, the more belief in strength, Ying Baoyue narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Northern Wei Dynasty was the place where the status of middle-aged men was the highest and the status of women and the elderly was the lowest in the entire mountain and sea continent.

In her previous life, Ying Baoyue once read a sentence in history books, "The strong eat the fat, and the old eat the rest. The strong and healthy are the most important, but the old and the weak are cheap."

Expensive and strong, cheap old and weak.

This sentence can also be applied to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the further north on this continent, the more popular this sentence is.

The cruel environment creates cruel survival rules.

Tall men with superior physical strength have high status, while old and weak women and children have low status.

Only the strong can survive the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In the Northern Wei Dynasty, the stepson who participated in the primary ceremony had to go through multiple rounds of brutal internal fighting in the country before going to the Southern Chu. Only the number one warrior who won in the end could win the honor of the stepson of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

This honor will accompany that warrior's life. Unlike other countries, even after the primary ceremony is over, the stepson of the Northern Wei Dynasty can still retain this title and be worshiped by all the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Almost all the people in the Northern Wei Dynasty were soldiers. Those teenagers who could mount horses and shoot arrows at a few years old in the Northern Wei Dynasty would arouse the greatest blood when they competed for the title of stepson. The warriors determined in this way must be tall and mighty predators.

Ying Baoyue had seen several Northern Wei stepson on the Great Wall of Eternal Night before, and each of them was more than eight feet tall. Although the tallest soldier she had ever seen was always Lou Xiaolou's elder brother, Loulou, no matter what, Ying Baoyue Yue didn't expect that the stepson of the Northern Wei Dynasty this year would look like this.

Hearing the ridicule of the people around him, the young man riding on the conspicuous eight-foot dragon turned his head quietly, causing the people around him to gasp.

Ying Baoyue was also slightly taken aback.

Without him, this is definitely the most handsome Northern Wei person she has ever seen.

Ying Baoyue looked at the handsome young man in common clothes with a long sword on his waist from a distance, and people laughed at him before.

Although she felt that this stepson must not be that simple, it was not difficult to see why people would say that he was a little boy when he saw his face.

He is too thin.

The horse on the boy's crotch in the distance is a head taller than the other horses, but he is a head shorter than the others on the horse.

Ying Baoyue even suspected that he might only be a little taller than her little princess.

Not only was he thin and thin, but the stepson of the Northern Wei Dynasty looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, with fair complexion, graceful outline, red lips and white teeth.

You thought you'd see a big knife, but instead you saw a thin sword.

Looking at the thin young man on the horse, the other young men in the crowd, who were originally overwhelmed by the momentum of the Northern Wei practitioners, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Where is the brat..."

"Did the Northern Wei Dynasty make a mistake?"

"Shouldn't it be typed out this time? Is it the favorite of some princess?"

"Hahaha, this kind of helpless kid is hired as a stepson, and the Northern Wei Dynasty is at the end of its rope..."

Hearing the ridicule of the people around, the other Northern Wei practitioners all clenched their swords tightly. The awe-inspiring murderous aura made the surrounding temperature drop suddenly, and also made the ridicule in the crowd subside a little.

Ying Baoyue stared at the young man on horseback who had become the target of public criticism, but found that his expression was much calmer than the men around him, as if he had long been used to this kind of ridicule.And the Northern Wei people around him who had always been grumpy in her impression didn't draw their swords, but just peeked at the young man in anger, with aggrieved and... humiliation in his eyes?
Looking at the young man's thin body and delicate appearance, Ying Baoyue suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

this person……

"This person is..."

However, at this moment, Ji Jiashu stared at the young man in the carriage and suddenly said in astonishment, "Meng Shi?"

"Meng Shi?" Without waiting for Ying Baoyue to react, Chen Zichu in the carriage suddenly jumped up from the window as if he had been burned, and stared at the young man outside the window, "Is he Meng Shi?"

"It's him?"

"That's Meng Shi?"

Chen Zichu asked three times in succession, which made the other people in the carriage suddenly cheer up.

"Who is Meng Shi?" Ying Baoyue asked, looking at Chen Zichu, who had turned from disdainful to suddenly facing an enemy.

Xu Yishan beside him also clenched the water-breaking sword, which was enough to show how special this person was.

"He was a student who had studied in Jixia Academy," Ji Jiashu explained, and then suddenly realized, "It turns out that he is really from the Northern Wei Dynasty."

"He only stayed in Jixia Academy for two years, so you haven't seen him," Ji Jiashu looked at Chen Zichu, who entered Jixia Academy after him, and said, "But it seems that you have heard about him. "

That's right, Chen Zichu took a slight breath.

Even after leaving the Jixia Academy, the short-lived young strong man, his legend is still circulating in the academy.

It is said that Meng Shi learned one of the four schools of swordsmanship only two years after he entered the academy, and even defeated his predecessors who practiced a few years earlier, leaving his name in the Jixia Academy forever.

This is Meng Shi.

However, Chen Zichu never thought that Meng Shi was from the Northern Wei Dynasty, but now that he saw this man, Chen Zichu immediately understood what was going on.

Jixia Academy originally accepted young practitioners from various countries, but after the death of Da Siming, the most places belonged to Southern Chu.The entry threshold for people from other countries is extremely high. Once someone enters, they are often reluctant to leave for many years. Even if they participate in the elementary ceremony, they will directly participate in Nanchu.

But this young man left after only two years. Coupled with his handsome appearance, Chen Zichu felt that even if this guy claimed to be from the Northern Wei Dynasty, few people would believe him.

"It's just that I remember Meng Shi is..."

Chen Zichu looked at the young man in the distance who spoke hesitantly, but at this moment there was another commotion outside the Northern Wei motorcade that was about to enter the city.

The always irritable people of the Northern Wei Dynasty did not draw their swords in the face of ridicule, which greatly increased the courage of the practitioners from other countries. The carriage behind the Northern Wei convoy.

Someone moved closer and opened the curtain of the car, and a girl's scream came from inside.

"woman?"

"Northern Wei people actually bring women?"

"Sure enough, that little boy was attracted by a princess..."

"elder brother!"

Accompanied by this scream, Ying Baoyue looked into the distance and her pupils shrank.

The moment the car curtain was lifted, the thin young man in front of the huge city gate suddenly turned around!

And the next moment, a bright sword light bloomed from his waist, and was ignited with that sword light.

And the flames.
