  The story goes that Zhou Tong returned to his room and saw that Yue Fei was not asleep, so he asked: "Fei, in your dream, did Chen Tuan's old ancestor personally impart his skills?"

  Ladies and gentlemen, the Huashan Sleeping Immortal Sect is different from other sects. After building the foundation, the transmission of power and reception of power are all carried out in a dream state. At the time of Yue Fei's elixir formation, the Transmission Elder and Zhou Tong were only responsible for arranging the array and communication. What information the recipient can communicate depends on their individual karma and encounters. The specific ceremony will be described in detail later when Zhou Tong transmits power to Yue Yun.

  "It was Old Ancestor Chen's personal transmission to me." Yue Fei replied, "Apart from helping me condense the Golden Elixir, he also transmitted two moves to me. One move is 'Opening the Primordial Chaos, Judging the Heavens'..."

  "Yang", and another move is "the way of utmost sincerity". I did learn the first move, but as for the second one, I still haven't grasped what it's all about until now."

  Zhou Tong's face showed joy, and he said: "This move 'opens the primordial chaos, judges the heavens'...

  "Yang" is a wonderful method of listening to energy, as long as you can stick to your opponent's weapon or

  "Body, immediately knows the opponent's force and striking part. You just exchanged blows with Master Zhi Ming, didn't you use this move too?"

  Yue Fei repeatedly said it was so, with a face full of shame.

  Zhou Tong continued, "The Huashan School has been around for over a hundred years. The old ancestor only personally taught this move to one person, and that was Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. I've studied it for many years, but I've only grasped some superficial aspects. It seems the old ancestor really did have favorites."

  To you.

  Seeing Yue Fei nodding silently, Zhou Cong continued: "This 'Zhī Chéng Zhī Dào' is very special. It refers to a kind of ability that can sense things in advance. When you met Niu Gao at Luǎn Cǎo Gǎng and Niè Gūniáng at Lì Quán Shān, you both had similar feelings which you mentioned to me, but I didn't dare believe it because this is already a divine skill. As the saying goes, 'Zhī Chéng Zhī Dào can predict the future', 'unheard, unseen, aware of danger and avoid it'. This is like adding wings to a tiger for martial artists. The common saying 'the cicada senses the autumn wind before it moves' also means this. I have thought about it repeatedly, and the most likely explanation is that several months ago, when you competed with me in footwork and entered the state of 'Wú Jí Shén Quán' at Qi Lín Village, you obtained a kind of seed which was later cultivated by our ancestors. You really are blessed with good fortune from your past life!"

  "Teacher, you often teach us that Taoism emphasizes"

  Everything has its pros and cons. This is how the way of utmost sincerity works. What else can be said?

  "What's wrong?" Yue Fei asked.

  Zhou Tong heard Yue Fei ask this question, was very pleased and said: "Modesty benefits, fullness harms. You can consider the problem in such a way, it's very good. The 'way of utmost sincerity', the key is the word 'sincerity'. You must be sincere in your heart

  Be open-minded and sincere with others; do good deeds and refrain from evil ones; do not be humble or flattering, nor fawn upon others; have a clear mind and straightforward thoughts. Do not let your heart be clouded. If you can achieve these points, your true sincerity will grow stronger. Otherwise, this path will disappear and leave you behind.

  Taking advantage of Zhou Tong's excitement, Yue Fei asked: "Master, in a few days when you've recovered, let's have a match between us master and apprentice. Just now Master Zhi Ming lost too quickly, my

  They haven't yet

  Get up.

  Zhou Tong asked back: "Fei Er, what do you think of Master Zhi Ming's physical strength at present?"

  Yue Fei replied: "Master Zhi Ming is already advanced in years, his energy and blood are beginning to decline, his physical strength is gradually decreasing, if he really wants to exert himself to the utmost, at most he can only muster twenty or so moves."

  "Hmm, you're quite perceptive." Zhou Dong stroked his chin whiskers and asked again: "And what do you think of me? I'm even older than Master Zhi Ming, you know."

  Yue Fei replied: "The teacher's energy and blood have condensed, his breath is inwardly gathered, he has already reached the state of enlightenment. The disciple cannot see it."

  Hehe, Zhou Tong burst out laughing and said: "To be honest with you, I got the title of number one in the world forty years ago, when I was still a young man.

  In the previous war, he defeated nine great masters of Liao and Western Xia. Later in the capital, it was all thanks to his two senior brothers Lu Junyi and Lin Chong who held up the scene and blocked countless challenges. However, Lu Junyi and Lin Chong left Beijing for Liangshan one after another, and after avenging Lin Chong's grievances, he also left the capital. His last battle was twenty years ago at Lishui Mountain, where he killed the national master of Liao and rescued Master Zhi Ming

  Shifu, my heart for fighting has dulled. Unless absolutely necessary, I can now only bully those who have not yet formed their elixir...

  Zhou Tong and Yue Fei's master-apprentice relationship became increasingly distant as they talked. Let's stop here for now.

  Seven days later, the three elders of the transmission bid farewell to everyone and returned to Mount Hua. As for Yue Fei and others, they were busy preparing in secret.

  Three months have passed unknowingly again.

  One day, the county suddenly sent down two official documents: one stated that this year's Wu Keju would be held ahead of schedule, and all eligible martial arts children should come to the county within seven days to take the qualification exam. The shortlisted candidates will go to Beijing to take the Wu Zhuangyuan exam in three months. The second document was a notice stating that the previous county magistrate had retired and returned to his hometown, and the new county magistrate had just taken office, asking the heads of various towns to go and meet him.

  The villagers gathered at the Ah Gong House with Zhou Tong and two teachers to discuss. After a discussion, it was decided to send Yue Fei, Niu Gao, Tang Huai, Zhang Xian, and Wang Gui as representatives of Qilin Village to take the test.

  Everyone, at this time, Niu Gao mother and son have already registered as residents of Qilin Village.

  Five days later, Zhou Tong and two instructors, Li Zhong and Zhang Yi, led five young men to the county town's martial arts arena to take the Wuju examination.

  The Wu Ke Ju may not be as good as the Wen Ke Ju, but it is also a big one.

  All along the way, until Huangxian School Field, I saw a sea of people. All kinds of vendors selling goods, the streets were lined with tea stalls, wine shops and all sorts of delicious food, it was quite lively.

  Riot!

  The three outsiders of Qilin Village had already arrived in the county town, where they had booked a large wine pavilion in the arena and set out various dishes to await the arrival of their sons.

  Zhou Dang and his entourage entered the arena, where they saw other martial arts students from various towns, all rushing to gather around. Indeed, it was a case of "the poor value literature, while the rich value martial arts". Many young men from wealthy families were dressed in colorful attire, with elaborate hairstyles, riding high-quality horses equipped with bright and luxurious saddles and armor, truly embodying wealth and nobility.

  Person

  As for Zhou Cong and his entourage, apart from Zhou Cong who was dressed as a commoner, the rest of them were all wearing black iron helmets with golden trim.

  Wearing a suit of black iron chain mail on the outside and a black velvet robe on the inside, with a tight leather belt around his waist, riding a high-headed white horse, holding long and short weapons in his hand. The man was black and the horse was white, with a clear distinction between black and white, showing a solemn and murderous atmosphere in this cluster of rich and noble flowers, making people tremble with fear at the sight of him.

  Yue Fei and others entered the large wine pavilion already prepared by the three officials outside to take a temporary rest, waiting for the trial.

  Half an hour later, only to see the newly appointed county master Li

  They were summoned and called upon, followed by a large group of attendants and guards, entering the school grounds, crossing the bridge, and sitting down in the martial arts hall, where tea and refreshments were immediately served.

  Li Xian's eyes swept down and saw those who were going to take the exam looking very nervous

  Noise, county master secretly delighted: "Now

  "I've selected a few good students, and when they passed the imperial examination in the capital, even I gained some prestige."

  After a short while, the clerk brought up the registers of various towns. The county master looked at them and called out one by one, comparing the arrows in order, then looking at the bows and horses.

  What were Yue Fei's results in his first imperial examination? To be continued next time.
