Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 199

Chen Zichu, who was still a little drunk, was startled when he heard the words, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, and he instantly sobered up.

Primary ceremony.

The word was enough to awaken all his sanity.

What's more, this woman raised this question at this time, and the meaning behind it is not simple.

Indeed, when he was bragging on the road, he told Ying Baoyue that he would participate in the primary ceremony this year.

It's nothing, after all, this year, no one in Nanchu who has a reputation will not participate.

But there is one thing that he hasn't revealed to Ying Baoyue yet.

That is, not only did he have to participate in the elementary level, Chen Zichu narrowed his eyes, and his eyes flashed the coldness and shrewdness of the family.

He is also the stepson of this year's Southern Chu Primary Ceremony.

Although it is the weakest stepson who was pushed out as a shield.

Chen Zichu looked at the purely curious eyes of the girl in front of him, and remembered what Ying Baoyue said before that he could also find Xu Yishan, and guessed that the girl probably didn't know the identity of his stepson.

She just wanted to ask someone who knew.

But in her capacity as a woman, asking this question is a bit wrong.

Chen Zichu's heart sank slightly, he put on his cynical smile again, squinted his eyes and looked at Ying Baoyue and asked, "Your Highness, why are you asking this, who wants to participate in the primary ceremony?"

Ji Ange's scalp exploded, and she looked at Ying Baoyue and realized that she really wanted to speak up, but the next moment, a young man behind Ying Baoyue was also staring closely at her lips, seeing that she didn't wait to speak. When Ying Baoyue said it, Gui Chen took a step forward and immediately snatched the way.

"Me!" Gui Chensheng was afraid that Ying Baoyue would speak, so he stood in front of Ying Baoyue and looked at Chen Zichu eagerly, "I, I, I want to participate!"

The young man in front of him almost threw his arms up at Chen Zichu.

Chen Zichu was taken aback by Gui Chen's sudden enthusiasm, took a step back, looked at the boy in front of him and nodded, "So it's you."

Chen Zichu noticed that Ying Baoyue only brought the young guard with him this time, and it seemed that he was indeed here for him.

Chen Zichu couldn't think of any other possibilities.

Ying Baoyue looked at Gui Chen who stood in front of her, her eyes flickered and she didn't speak.

Gui Chen and Ji Ange breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Gui Chen bowed to Chen Zichu and saluted, "I'm just here, and I'm not familiar with the place, so please give me advice."

Chen Zichu looked at Gui Chen, who was low in rank but at least a man, and walked to the table with a little relief and sat down.

"Are you from the former Qin Dynasty?"

Gui Chen nodded, and looked at Chen Zichu in bewilderment.

He has just become a cultivator, and thanks to his father, he has no family background, and he is not very clear about everything in the realm of cultivation.Originally, he thought that as long as he became a practitioner and arrived in Southern Chu, he would be able to participate in the primary ceremony, but this morning Ying Baoyue told him to ask Chen Zichu first.

The girl stood in front of him and whispered, "It's been eight years, maybe the rules have changed."

Gui Chen didn't understand what it meant, but he knew that what Ying Baoyue said was always right.But at this moment, he was still a little uncomfortable being looked up and down by the son of Nanchu, who was also the son of Da Sima.

"Master Chen, what the hell..."

Before Guichen could finish asking, Chen Zichu stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth, and said vaguely, "You said you were going to participate in the primary ceremony, remember to bring the recommendation document issued by the former Qin court?"

"Recommended documents?" Gui Chen was taken aback when he heard the words, and Ying Baoyue was also taken aback.

"what is that?"

Seeing the young man in front of him looking at him in confusion, Chen Zichu widened his eyes, "You don't even know this?"

Gui Chen nodded truthfully.

"The recommendation document is a certificate specially issued by the courts of various countries for practitioners from their own country to participate in the primary ceremony." Chen Zichu looked at Guichen speechlessly, "It was issued by the local county government before departure. You are from the former Qin Dynasty. Cover the seal of the former Qin government."

"What?" Gui Chen seemed to have been hit in the head.

"Otherwise, who knows who is a cultivator from which country?" Chen Zichu spread his hands and said, "What if you are a spy from Xirong?"

Gui Chen was shocked, and shook his head quickly, "I am a native of the former Qin Dynasty!"

"That's what you say, but without a certificate issued by your country, who can guarantee it?" Chen Zichu shook his head, "You are a wild practitioner without a recommendation document, and you can't even participate in the initial stage ceremony where the country is the team. What's the matter?" use?"

He looked at the boy in front of him with regret, "That is the most basic thing for registration, if you don't have it, you can't register."

The Primary Ceremony is indeed a grand gathering that practitioners from the six countries in the Great Wall and below rank five can participate, except for Xirong, but it is not without order and rules.

All participants must register in advance.

Before the official start, the stepson of each country will have a list of registered practitioners from the country.

Ying Baoyue understood everything when she heard this.

As she expected, the rules did change.

This so-called recommendation document is actually a recommendation letter, just like the competition certificates held by athletes from various countries when participating in the Olympic Games.

Although she didn't participate in the primary ceremony back then, she still knew some rules. There was no tradition of issuing letters of recommendation on a country-by-country basis in her time.

After all, at that time... the empire was still a unified country.

The empire has been torn apart, and the confrontation between countries has become fierce. The rules will naturally change, and Ying Baoyue fully understands this.

But now it directly leads to obstacles for Gui Chen and her participation.

"I don't have such a recommendation document," Gui Chen murmured.

"That's hopeless," Chen Zichu rubbed his forehead, "It's too late to go back now, you're not a Bachelor of Jixia, and you can't pass the test if you wait for the tenth rank, you're still preparing for the next class..."

Gui Chen bit his lips and lowered his head, but before he could despair, the girl who had been blocked by him stepped forward in one step, quietly looking at the boy in the room who was munching on food.

"Bachelor Jixia? What test?"

Chen Zichu's hand, reaching out to catch the cake bait, stopped in mid-air, and thought to himself that he had slipped his tongue, he should be able to...

But before Chen Zichu opened his mouth to cover it up, he only listened to the girl in front of him saying quietly.

"You said earlier that Xu Yishan was going to prepare for a major event, so this is it?"

Ying Baoyue looked into Chen Zichu's eyes and smiled.

"Jixia Academy will conduct the last selection of scholars before the primary ceremony?"

This woman is so sensitive that people are frightened!

Chen Zichu swallowed the food in his mouth, and quietly looked into the eyes of the girl who walked into the courtyard.

It is so clear that it seems to be able to penetrate all the secrets of this world.

"I remembered," Ying Baoyue gave him the final blow at this time, "the opening ceremony of the primary ceremony should not be as monotonous as me and Mr. Ji getting engaged, right?"

That is to say, you, a woman, will feel that your engagement is monotonous.

Chen Zichu was so choked that he couldn't speak.

The opening ceremony of the Southern Chu Elementary Ceremony is indeed not just a formality for practitioners from all over the world.Even if there is no grand marriage ceremony between Southern Chu and Former Qin, it will always be lively.

Chen Zichu's eyes became serious, as if he saw the bloody scene.

The so-called opening ceremony is actually a test of the waters before the beginning of the primary ceremony.

Because at the same time, there was also the Jixia Academy Disciple Battle involving the best young practitioners from all over the world.

It is known in history as the feast of Jixia.

Commonly known as Jixia Xuegong, the upper four palaces fight martial arts.

That is, the tournament.

Jixia Academy is the highest school of martial arts in the Shanhai Continent, consisting of twelve schools in total. In recent years, almost all outstanding practitioners from various countries come from Jixia Academy.

Practitioners representing various countries participating in the primary ceremony, as long as they are good enough, will often have another identity before becoming practitioners in their own country.

That is Bachelor Jixia.

It can be said that Jixia Bachelor has a higher status than young practitioners from various countries.

Chen Zichu looked into the eyes of the girl in front of him, and took a deep breath, "If you don't have a recommendation letter from your own country, there is indeed a way to participate in the primary ceremony."

Gui Chen's eyes lit up beside Ying Baoyue, but the next moment he was shocked by the sudden seriousness on the face of the young man in front of him.

The smile on the corners of Chen Zichu's mouth had all disappeared, and his voice was cold, "But this method is not something that a tenth-level practitioner can do."

"Why?" Gui Chen couldn't help asking, a little unconvinced.

"There is no reason, because there is no shortcut in this world," Chen Zichu stood up and walked to the steps, looking down at him and Ying Baoyue.

It is impossible for those who cannot even get a recommendation letter from their own country to get another passport with a status much higher than the recommendation documents from other countries.

"If you want to participate in the elementary ceremony without a recommendation document, there is only one method left." Chen Zichu said coldly.

"It's to participate in the final screening of the Twelve Palaces of Heavenly Law held by Jixia Academy tomorrow."

This is the screening organized by the various colleges of Jixia Academy in order to obtain the final battle strength of the upper four palaces. The talent and combat effectiveness of the practitioners are extremely important, not to mention...

Chen Zichu said coldly, "If you want to be eligible to participate, it's not enough just to participate in the screening."

The boy's voice was as cold as ice.

"You must pass the test of the upper fourth palace to become a Jixia scholar."

　"Jixia Academy", known in history as "the world's first government-run institution of higher learning", is not only a government-run academic institution, but also a government-run political advisory group, with dual natures of academics and politics. The teacher of "Jixia Academy" is called "Mr. Jixia", who can also serve as a think tank member of the Tian Qi regime, or write books on his own, recruit disciples (known as "Jixia Bachelor"), and conduct academic research .

　　This book has carried out an overhead treatment on the historical prototype.

　　Merry Christmas everyone!
