Chapter 165 Chu Linguang gained a lot from this battle.
A true rise to fame.
Feng Junyi took Wang Chao back to Qiling Governor's Mansion the next day to resume his duties. Emperor Yue Xuan, Chen Jin and others had successfully completed their work and said goodbye together two days later.
Even Junmiao and others also left one after another.
Before leaving, Liu Qingqing said: "Chu Linguang, you defeated Samba. There should be a new round of rewards from the academy. I am especially looking forward to you taking part in the provincial martial arts examination in nine months. I even want to see you and Yan Zhen No matter who wins or loses, you two will be the heroes of our generation."
"Well, let's talk again when we have a chance."
Chu Linguang rode a little red horse to send them to the official road.
Then he returned to the martial arts hall with Heihu.
In the past few days, Chu Linguang was running back and forth between the martial arts hall and Fengyue Tower, busy drinking and chatting with Emperor Yue Xuan, Lian Junmiao and others, exchanging experiences, and at the same time listening to Guo Wei's analysis and teachings on this battle.
Everyone gained a lot.
Now that they were sent away, Chu Linguang did not return to Liujiagou, but returned to the martial arts hall again. Since he defeated Samba, two groups of people from Liujiagou have come to the martial arts hall to ask Chu Linguang what Time to go back.
They said they had prepared a banquet for Chu Linguang, and they were just waiting to celebrate Chu Linguang.
Chu Linguang asked Guo Fang to send them away.
It's not that he holds a grudge, but he knows what's important and what's more important. Even if he wants to have a drink, he has to go to his second aunt's house and Hu's butcher's house first. At least he can't forget the group of people who cheered him on.
After taking care of these relationships and earning a lot of favor points, it is not too late to return to Liujiagou. Of course, Chu Linguang also has to change his attitude towards those people. If he makes them think that he has no temper, he will be here next time. Things like this may get worse.
Chu Linguang, the person who was kind to him, will be remembered in his heart.
Chu Linguang will also silently note down those who have malicious intentions towards him and secretly cause harm to him.
You cannot have the heart of a Bodhisattva without the angry eyes of a Vajra.
So in the next few days, Chu Linguang still lived in the martial arts hall. If Guo Wei wanted to ask him anything, he could find him in time. However, Guo Wei saw that Chu Linguang was busy with relatives and those in the countryside who supported him. Zhou Xuan, so he asked Chu Linguang to deal with these human relations first.
Guo Wei didn't ask anything about how Chu Linguang unlocked the third level of Dharma and realized the superposition of double potential energy.
noon the next day.
Zhang Chu's home.
"Master Guo, thank you. Without you, Lin Guang wouldn't be where he is today, and we, the couple, wouldn't be able to benefit from it."
"Master Guo, I'll do it first out of respect."
Mrs. Zhang Chu prepared a banquet to entertain Chu Linguang and Guo Wei today.
Chu Linguang was lonely, and the Zhang Chu family was Chu Linguang's real family member. The couple had long wanted to entertain Guo Wei and thank him, but they could not say anything, nor could they come up with anything good to entertain Guo Wei.
This time Chu Linguang defeated Samba and became famous in a real sense, which was even more impressive than winning the first place in the Nancheng martial arts test. Zhang Chu asked Chu Linguang first, and only after getting Chu Linguang's consent did he dare to invite Guo Wei.
Guo Wei regarded Chu Linguang as his own son, so how could he accept Chu's invitation.
The master and apprentice walked to Zhangjiagou together and had dinner in Zhang Da's simple tile-roofed house. Guo Wei didn't have any pretensions. When he saw Zhang Linghua getting married, he even took the initiative to mention that he wanted to arrange a marriage for Zhang Linghua.
"I also want to thank you for letting me have a good apprentice."
Guo Wei raised his glass and drank with Zhang Chu and his wife.
After drinking and eating.
Chu Linguang and Zhang Chu's couple sent Guo Wei out of Zhangjiagou. Chu Linguang said to Guo Wei: "Master, I want to take my two cousins to see Mr. Liu."
Before the war, many people felt that Chu Linguang was bound to lose and his reputation would be ruined. However, Mr. Liu treated his two cousins as he always did. Chu Linguang wanted to thank them in person.
"Okay, by the way, I would like to say hello to his old man on behalf of my teacher."
Guo Wei nodded and said: "Oh, by the way, I will ask Heihu to come over later and take your cousin to the wine street. Ask your cousin if she is willing to go."
"Ah, oh, okay, thank you, Master."
Chu Linguang was overjoyed and heard Guo Wei's hidden voice.
He had long wanted to bring Zhang Linghua and Hei Hu together, but he didn't know how to speak to Hei Hu.
You must know that Heihu is not only a small landowner family, but also has a good reputation now. It is a certainty that he will pass the martial arts examination in the future. Even big families like the Li family in the north of the city have taken the initiative to come to propose marriage.
Although Zhang Linghua was gentle and virtuous, her family was poor, and only his cousin could do anything about it. Therefore, even if he and Hei Hu were brothers in the same sect, Chu Linguang didn't know how to speak to Hei Hu.
Now that Guo Wei is the matchmaker, as long as Heihu can like Zhang Linghua, then the marriage will be fine.
"Then I'll go back first, Master."
"Master, walk slowly."
"Thank you, Master Guo."
Guo Wei treats each of his apprentices as his own. Heihu is young and energetic. If he gets married soon, he might be able to change his temperament.
More importantly, although Zhang Linghua was born in poverty, she was as gentle, virtuous, hard-working and a good girl who managed the household like Zhang Chu.
Of course the most important one is Chu Linguang.
Now that Chu Linguang is famous, the court will definitely reward him. If Heihu marries Zhang Linghua, his relationship with Chu Linguang will become closer in the future.
Presumably Mr. Hei can understand and will definitely agree to this marriage.
An hour later.
Master Hei personally carried a lot of gifts and took Hei Hu to Zhangjiagou. He learned that Guo Wei wanted to introduce a marriage to Hei Hu, and the target was Chu Linguang's cousin. Master Hei was hesitant at first.
Later, it was learned that Zhang Chu, as an elder of Chu Linguang's family, entertained Guo Wei at home to thank Guo Wei for his guidance and support. Master Hei immediately realized that Zhang Linghua seemed to be just Chu Linguang's cousin, but in fact she was no different from his biological sister.
In addition, Chu Linguang's future was limitless and he might become another Yang Shaorong in the future, so Mr. Hei personally organized and resold several precious gifts from relatives and friends after Hei Hu passed the martial arts examination to the Zhang Chu family.
Finally, under the watchful eye of Master Hei.
Hei Hu, who looked cautious, led Zhang Linghua, one behind the other, about ten meters away, slowly walking towards the wine street market.
Chu Linguang felt a little funny when he saw Hei Hu, who usually wanted to be the limelight in everything, being coy in front of his cousin.
Then Chu Linguang took his two cousins and prepared some gifts to visit Mr. Liu. Mr. Hei stayed and chatted with Zhang Da about his future plans. He learned that Zhang Da was working in his brother's tile factory. Not only did Mr. Hei not He looked down upon him and even laughed and scolded his younger brother for being ignorant and just letting Zhang Da be a foreman.
……
"Master Guo came to see me a while ago and asked me something about leather shafts. I ignored one thing at the time. I forgot to tell him that a friend of mine who teaches has also seen leather shafts, and even I wanted to spend money to buy the leather scroll many times, but I didn't agree to it. Later, I found Jiating in Baiyang County. I haven't seen him again for so many years. I don't know if he still remembers the leather scroll. Maybe it is possible. He must have forgotten it too.”
When Mr. Liu saw Chu Linguang coming to visit him, he took the initiative to mention some details.
Chu Linguang realized that something was wrong. Guo Wei had already told him that Hunyuan Gong was an internal skill practiced by the royal family and nobles. If Mr. Liu's friend leaked it, it might lead to death.
"Where is your friend now?"
Chu Linguang asked.
"She should still be in Jincheng. I haven't gone back since I found Jiating. I don't know if he is still there."
Mr. Liu said.
"Then does he know that you are in Zhangjiagou?" Chu Linguang asked again.
"I don't know. In order to find Jiating, I traveled here and there without a fixed residence. We haven't contacted each other in these years."
Mr. Liu said with great certainty.
Chu Linguang secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
After saying goodbye to Mr. Liu, he met Zhang Jiating and Zhang Dahu at the door of the private school who came to deliver snacks. The two people quickly congratulated Chu Linguang.
Chu Linguang chatted with them for a while, and took the initiative to mention that he had gained a lot from the battle with Samba. Those who would pass the martial arts exam in the future would become more hopeful, and he would definitely be able to help them exempt themselves from taxes in the future.
Zhang Dahu was so frightened that he even said that paying taxes was his duty, so Chu Linguang didn't have to remember it.
Chu Linguang knew that he was now famous and his future prospects were limitless. Zhang Dahu did not dare to coerce himself with his original you should do what you promise others. Chu Linguang took the initiative to mention it, hoping that Zhang Dahu would know that he had always kept this matter in mind, and he would definitely fulfill his promise when he became successful in the future.
Both sides know what the other is thinking, and they are tacitly understanding each other.
Back to the martial arts hall.
Chu Linguang told Guo Wei exactly what Mr. Liu said.
Guo Wei looked solemn, thought carefully and said: "Don't think too much, practice hard. The people above you are very happy that you defeated Samba this time. I have received the news, and the court will give you a reward."
"A reward!"
Chu Linguang opened his mouth wide.
"Don't think too much. The imperial court's reward this time is not to make you a prince or prime minister, but to facilitate your practice. In addition, you have been talking about exempting your second aunt and his family from taxes. It can be achieved in advance. In short, the court did not authorize your fight with Samba, so the reward only gives you the convenience of having the status of a martial arts examiner, but it has no real power. If you want to become a martial arts examiner, you have to take the provincial martial arts examination."
In order to prevent Chu Linguang from thinking too much, Guo Wei explained.
"Better than nothing."
Chu Linguang smiled and said that he had received a big return pill from the court, and he could also help his second aunt and Zhang Dahu to exempt themselves from taxes in advance, which was also a happy event.
"The status of a martial arts practitioner is nothing. The most important thing is the convenience of practice provided by the court."
Guo Wei reminded.
"What are the conveniences?"
Chu Linguang naturally did not forget this.
"If it goes as expected, the imperial court will give you an inner skill and mental method, send royal martial arts masters to teach you how to practice, and even let you return to the academy to practice for half a year."
Guo Wei said.
"This...is so good."
Chu Linguang was shocked.
You must know that he only practiced in the academy for a month last time, and his whole person seemed to have changed. If he could practice in the academy for half a year, acquire inner strength and mental skills, and receive guidance from royal martial arts masters, how far would he grow in half a year? "Lin Guang, no matter what, if you can get the internal skills and mental methods given to you by the court in advance, you must seize the opportunity to practice well. If there is a royal martial artist to teach you, you must boldly ask, and you must not be shy to speak up."
Guo Wei warned.
"Yes, the disciple understands."
Chu Linguang nodded.
noon the next day.
Master Xu's men appeared at the door of the martial arts hall.
This time he came with a man in red robe.
The man handed a booklet to Guo Wei.
Guo Wei opened it and took a closer look. When he saw the back, his eyes widened.
"What's the matter, Master?"
Chu Linguang asked.
"The reward given to you by the imperial court is even more generous than I thought. There are actually two options. One is to go to the academy to practice for half a year and get the guidance of the royal martial arts master. The other is to let you go to the training ground to practice for three months and compete with the world. Heroes compete!"
Guo Wei said excitedly.
"what?"
Chu Linguang was a little confused. What was the trial field?
"You have to thank Mr. Du. If he hadn't recommended it to the court, Chu Linguang wouldn't have had a second choice."
Zhuo Yi, the man in red robe, said.
"Master Du, Uncle Guo?"
Guo Wei immediately thought of Du Juan. Du Juan is a relative of the emperor, but she doesn't have this ability yet. It seems that only her father is the one.
"Although you defeated Samba, the court did not take you and Samba seriously from the beginning. However, you were able to defeat Samba without taking the Da Huan Dan, and he also took a Kuang Yuan Dan. Du Your Excellency thinks that as long as you can enter the training ground to practice and take the provincial martial arts examination in nine months, you can at least win the top ten, so I have won this opportunity for you, so don't let him down."
Zhuo Yi looked at Chu Linguang and said.
"This……"
Chu Linguang looked at Guo Wei involuntarily.
It depends on Guo Wei's decision whether he wants to participate in the provincial examination nine months later.
Guo Wei frowned.
Zhuo Yi's words made him realize that Chu Linguang was able to enter the trial field this time because Uncle Du Guo helped behind the scenes and paid some price to recommend Chu Linguang to be among the top ten in the provincial martial arts examination, so that Chu Linguang could enter the trial. Opportunities for practice.
If Chu Linguang didn't complete it, the favor he owed would be huge, and he might even have to pay a price.
Even if the favor is completed, the favor still has to be returned.
But the opportunity to practice in the trial field is rare, and Guo Wei knows its value better than Chu Linguang.
At the same time, he also heard what Zhuo Yi meant, or rather what Uncle Du Guo meant.
He wanted to determine whether Chu Linguang could participate in the rural martial arts examination nine months later and get the top ten. If he didn't have confidence, Chu Linguang should not accept the training opportunity in the trial field.
So Guo Wei was a little embarrassed for a while.
He was worried that if Chu Linguang didn't do it, he would be embarrassed by Uncle Du Guo in the future. Secondly, the provincial examination was not as good as the Taoist examination, especially the top ten. Each one was a monster-like existence. Going up by one was even worse than the Taoist examination, which was ten places higher. Disaster.
But the opportunity in the trial field is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
So Guo Wei was a little confused.
Chu Linguang saw the change in Guo Wei's expression. No matter how stupid he was, he knew how rare the opportunity in the trial field was. Thinking that Guo Wei had always wanted to be awarded the title of Grandmaster and go to Langgu Pass to redeem people, Chu Linguang couldn't help but ask: "Master, if I get Among the top ten in the provincial examination, can you be awarded the title of Grand Master and fulfill your wish?"
"This……"
Guo Weiru received an electric shock.
