Chapter 692: Black and White

Yu Linwei

Yu Linwei is a personal soldier, actually stationed in the city, carefully observed, saw that there were soldiers standing at the camp, not squinting, but when they arrived at the door, there were not many soldiers, and the crowd poured in and lined up.

Wei Hai had to stand in line on his own feet, a little impatient in his heart.

"Have you heard? Recently, the capital has not been peaceful, and there are always strange things happening, which makes people a little uneasy. When I got closer to the crowd, I heard a middle-aged man talking in a low voice, looking both frightened and excited.

I heard someone ask, "Oh, what's the matter?" ”

"It's a ghost car bird!" The middle-aged man pretended to be hoarse and said mysteriously, it was said that deliberately scary people in broad daylight would not have much effect, but once you bring something like "ghost car bird", it can immediately double the horror.

"I heard that there are ghost cars and birds staying at the observatory in the capital, wailing day and night, which is really a bad omen!"

"Yes, yes!" several people nodded.

In this world, the ghost car bird is a kind of bird contaminated with evil spirit in the legend, the feathers are colorful, the speed of coming and going, the whereabouts are mysterious, and every time it appears, it seems to bring disaster, so there is a folk legend that the appearance of the ghost car bird will have a catastrophe.

The call of the ghost car bird is not very beautiful, which is probably one of the reasons why the ghost car bird has been notoriety in the past and the present dynasty.

When I thought of the terrible cry of the legendary ghost car bird, especially the most terrifying when it was wailing, everyone who heard this couldn't help but shudder.

"That's right, it's scary!" someone hugged his arms and shook them a few times, and said cautiously, "No, but maybe it's a coincidence?"

"And the government said that the ghost car bird is in trouble, but it is just a companion, and it is no different from other birds. ”

The middle-aged man sneered: "You also believe the words of the government?"

"Moreover, one is a coincidence, and what about many? If nothing else, let's just say that today, it is already May, but there is still white dew and frost...... You say, 'Is this weird?'

The middle-aged man didn't continue to say the following words, and the faces of the people who listened turned pale.

In the last years of the previous dynasty, there was a May white dew that did not disperse.

"In April of the fifth year of Yuan Yan, the trees are like weeping, and they do not disperse in the middle ......of the day."

Soon after, swords and soldiers rose everywhere, and chaos suddenly came.

At the moment, although it has not yet reached the level of "white dew trees like weeping", but in May, the white dew still does not disperse, which is really scary.

Combined with the rumors of ghost cars and birds wailing at the observatory in the capital, it really makes people shiver on this warm day.

Wei Hai was bold, but he didn't believe it, he listened with relish, and listened closer.

"Yes, I only encountered one, and it can be said to be a coincidence, but two of them happened, and it was really evil and unlucky, and I don't know if it was another disaster. ”

"In the past two years, there have been either locust plagues, floods, or droughts, and the days are really not peaceful, but fortunately we are here in the capital, and we are not afraid all day, my distant relatives live 500 miles away from the capital, and they even had a draught well last year, let alone a laundry bath, and it is difficult to draft water! And without water, naturally cannot grow live crops, no, I only received my cousin who came to me two months ago, and gave him two bags of grain for him to take back...... Oh, it's miserable!"

"No, I heard that there was a flood in some places, and even the houses were washed away......

"It's not without good signs, there is also a strange thing, it is said that there is a Zhu family in the suburbs and there are guests here, and a pair of carp jumped out of the well, and it was made into a fish belly, which is very rare. ”

"Hmph, no matter the auspicious omen, as long as it is strange, it is not good. ”

Similar discussions are not limited to one or two people, and many people are discussing, although Wei Hai, who came to Yu Linwei, listened with relish, he didn't care, pulled the corners of his mouth, and showed disdain.

"It's all nonsense, I also think that the last time I passed by at night, I was rumored to be a night wanderer, what a group of fools!"

However, thinking like this in his heart, he didn't plan to debate with these people, and said to the young man who listened: "Lu Wu, let's go over and sign up!"

The young man is ranked fifth in the family, because he is a poor man, he has never had a name when he was a child, and he has always been called Lu Wu and Lu Wu, and when he grew up, because he learned kung fu with the Jianghu people, he liked to be called the fifth master, so he did not change his name.

Lu Wu still believed it a little, but he also felt that some of the discussions were too exaggerated, so he nodded: "You're right, it's a matter of getting to sign up early, it's our time." ”

Wei Hai and the others approached, and there were guards at the door, so they listened to the shouting: "Enter the game to watch the game, one person has three articles!"

In front of it was a box without a lid, and a lot of copper coins had been lost inside.

"It costs money to watch the game. Wei Hai was dissatisfied, so he still took out six copper plates and threw them over, and took Lu Wu inside.

Inside, it is a large school field, which can accommodate 5,000 people to practice, and now it is May, but it has been very cold in recent days, but there are several rings.

There was no one in the ring at this time, but there were stalls everywhere around, most of them were fortune-tellers, selling soup cakes and snacks, and there were some sheds with servants guarding them, and they knew at a glance that they were the location of the nobles.

Looking into the distance, he saw that there seemed to be more people around not far away, Wei Hai looked at it and said, "It seems to be the registration office, there are already a lot of people around, let's go quickly!"

Shouting "borrow, borrow", he squeezed through the crowd and finally arrived at the registration location.

Two tables are lined up, and two people sit behind each long table, one carrying a pen and recording the news, and the other handing out things.

The people in front of Wei Hai took the slips one after another and left, and finally it was Wei Hai's turn.

"Sir, I'm here to sign up for the competition. Wei Hai straightened his chest and said.

Behind the table at the front of the row, a gentleman looked up and asked, "Can you read?"

Wei Hai replied: "Literate some words." ”

Most of the people like him, who have a little reputation in the rivers and lakes, know some words, at least there will be no difficulty in going back and forth to various places, and they don't even know the road guide if they don't know the big characters, and sometimes it's very troublesome.

The gentleman sighed: "Since you are literate, you can read it for yourself, and I don't need to read it to you." ”

As he spoke, he took a piece of paper with the words written on it and handed it to him.

Wei Hai hurriedly took it, and Lu Wu did the same later, and he also took a copy, because the two knew each other, he and Wei Hai got together to read the content on the paper.

"Brother Wei, this is a martial arts contest!" Seeing the above content clearly, Lu Wu said without surprise.

"However, even if it is dead or alive, it is not allowed to deliberately kill the killer, in this case, it is reasonable to bear the accidental injury yourself. ”

This is already a relatively benevolent martial state, Xu is because it was held in the capital, and it was the prince's choice of the head of the sect, so he had to take care of the influence.

The contests held in places far away from the capital are often life and death, and no one will care about the deliberate killer, and if you go on stage, you will die in vain.

I already had the heart to participate, and when I saw this martial arts, both of them were even more moved.

Wei Hai noticed the bottom one: "Everything else is normal, but this one is a little strange." ”

The last clause of the clause states in black and white that the competition is to recruit people to be the head of the king's palace, so signing the martial arts certificate is equivalent to agreeing to teach what he has learned all his life to the king.
