Chapter 86: The whole city is attracted, the master and the apprentice are united
The next day!
dawn.
[Host: Lin Chen]
[Realm: Awakening Realm (7/24): (1/100)]
[Qingfeng Palm: Perfection]
[Water Cloud Palm: Minor Success (9/10)]
Last night, he finally stepped into the Seven Apertures.
With the Seven Apertures Realm and the Qingfeng Palm perfected, his goal for this competition is no longer to be in the top ten.
……
……
When Lin Chen arrived at the training ground, all the students in the martial arts school were there.
This scene surprised Lin Chen a little.
Jiang Qing and Fu Jingya stood in the front row, while Gu Qingqing and the other girls stood in the back row. Lin Chen did not hesitate and also stood in the front row.
"Brother Lin, you will definitely win!"
"Brother Lin, I'm optimistic about you!"
"Brother Lin, Qingfeng Martial Arts School doesn't want you. They are blind."
As he walked along, the junior sisters around him were very proactive in encouraging and cheering him. When he heard the last sentence, Lin Chen paused, smiled at the junior sister who had called out to him, and then continued walking forward.
"Senior Brother Lin smiled at me, and I knew that Senior Brother Lin must also be resentful of Qingfeng Martial Arts School."
"Qingfeng Martial Arts School actually didn't give Senior Brother Lin the first-class treatment. Those Lu and others can't even compare with Senior Brother Lin. Qingfeng Martial Arts School deserves to be embarrassed."
When Lin Chen walked to the front, Kong Yinglei and Shen Lin also appeared.
"Today's competition will be held at the city gate. The three of you will follow me. Other students of the martial arts school can also go to the city gate to watch the competition."
Hearing Master Kong's words, Lin Chen was stunned for a moment. The competition was actually held at the city gate. Wouldn't this attract people from all over the county, including those in the towns and villages, to watch?
If it were inside the city, the people from the towns and villages would not be willing to pay the entrance fee and might not come to watch the battle. But at the city gate, there was no need to pay and anyone who had free time would come and join in the fun.
No matter whether you know martial arts or not, it is human nature to watch the fun.
The students of Jingshui Martial Arts School set off in a mighty procession following Kong Yinglei. These were the new class of students. The students from the old class had arrived at the city gate early and had already chosen their seats in advance.
……
……
At the gate of Poyang County!
The platform was built in one day. Although it was not yet noon, the city gate was already crowded with people.
On the left side, there are soldiers guarding this area. This is the viewing area prepared for the county's dignitaries, and quite a few people have already taken their seats.
On the right side is the area provided for students of martial arts schools. Old students from the eight major martial arts schools, including many who have left after three years, are standing in this area at this moment.
The area at the bottom is also the most crowded, with a large number of people gathered there.
"Don't push, this is the territory our village grabbed first."
Zhao Zanghu was very proud of being in the front position. He thought he had foresight as he asked the villagers to come here last night to grab a position. Today, he led the villagers out early in the morning before dawn.
Looking at the people from other villages around, they are lined up almost a mile away. Those with poor eyesight can’t even see the people on the stage.
However, there were always people who did not abide by the order. Several sturdy men pushed towards this side, and several villagers from Linhu Village were knocked to the ground. Zhao Zanghu hurriedly began to stop them.
Unfortunately, the other party ignored me.
"What?"
The officer in charge of maintaining order came over immediately upon seeing the situation.
"Sir, we are making room for Master Liu. Master Liu and Master You have a good relationship."
The sturdy man in the lead smiled, but the officer just glanced at him and said, "I don't know what Master Liu is. Master Miao has ordered that anyone who disturbs the order during this martial arts competition will be arrested and imprisoned. Do you want to give it a try?"
Hearing what the officer said, the strong men showed panic on their faces. If they went to jail, they would be skinned alive before they could get out.
At that moment, several people had to retreat back to the crowd.
"Thank you, sir." Zhao Zanghu expressed his gratitude to the officer.
"People from your village should stop moving around, lest their positions be taken away by latecomers."
When facing Zhao Zanghu, the officer's attitude changed. He smiled and gave him some advice.
"Village chief, you are really capable. Even the officials help us." A villager on the side flattered with a smile.
"I don't have any ability. I'm just doing this for Lin Chen's sake. Forget it. You guys won't understand what I'm saying. Just remember one thing: no one in our village is allowed to say bad things about Lin Chen. If I find out, I'll enforce the village rules."
Zhao Zanghu was an old and experienced man. He had seen this official before.
When I followed Lin Chen to the south of the city to find Qianqian, the captain of the police was followed by a dozen constables, and this officer just now was one of them.
I think the officer gave me this face because he recognized that I was with Lin Chen at the time.
Otherwise, based on what the strong man just said, the official would probably ask them to move away.
In the right area, there is a group of young people standing.
These are all students from the previous class of the martial arts school. For these students, they also care about this competition.
Many of the top 20 students in the new session, especially the top 10, will be their strong opponents in next year's county examination.
Only the top ten students in the previous martial arts school competition at the end of the year would not care about the new students. In more than a year, the least among these ten students had opened up their eighteen acupoints.
None of these ten came.
……
……
In the crowd, a young girl pushed hard against the people around her to prevent herself from being pushed down.
Hua'er tried to exert force, but because of her thin body and weak strength, she was pushed down by the other women, her little face full of grievance.
"Mr. Yu asked me to deliver a letter to Master Lin based on his ranking in the competition. I have to watch this competition carefully."
Thinking of Mr. Yu's instructions in the letter, Hua'er subconsciously touched her arms, but this touch made her face pale.
There is one envelope missing from my arms.
Without bothering to squeeze forward, Huaer lowered her head and searched the ground, but the ground was filled with human feet, so densely packed that she couldn't see the ground at all.
"Girl, what are you squeezing?"
"Girl, if you don't want to see it, just get out. Why are you pushing me?"
The people around were annoyed by Hua'er's pushing, but Hua'er didn't care about that. She just kept looking down on the ground. "Sir, someone is disrupting order here."
Someone complained to Lin Xiuyong who was maintaining order in front. Lin Xiuyong came over and saw Huaer pushing and shoving around with her head down. He frowned and said, "Little girl, stop making trouble."
Hua'er was extremely worried. She raised her head, her eyes full of tears, and she cried, "I... I lost my Mr. Yu's letter. This letter was for Mr. Lin. My... my daughter was the former inspector of the Military Administration Office."
Although she was anxious, Hua'er was not stupid. She knew that she had to reveal her identity as a lady, otherwise she would be taken away by Lin Xiuyong.
She was not afraid of being taken away by the officials, but was afraid of wasting time and eventually losing the letter.
"Inspector Shu?"
Lin Xiuyong was stunned for a moment. If he was asked who the director of the Military Administration Institute was, he would know, but if he was asked about the Inspector, he had never paid attention to it.
But looking at the girl's expression, she doesn't seem to be lying.
When the people around heard this, the impatience on their faces eased a little. It turned out that someone had lost something, no wonder they were so anxious.
As for what the Inspector was, ordinary people like them had no idea, but they thought he must be an important figure, so they didn't dare to scold him.
Lin Xiuyong glanced at the densely packed crowd around him, thought for a moment and then shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, since this little girl has lost a letter, please look around to see if there is an envelope. If there is, please shout. A letter is not worth much, so don't bring yourself into trouble."
The constables in the yamen usually deal with all kinds of people. During this competition, those thieves in the city will definitely take the opportunity to steal. He said this to those thieves who are stealing secretly.
The envelope is worthless, just hand it over if you steal it.
However, no one responded.
Lin Xiuyong looked at the crowded crowd, brought Hua'er to the front, and asked, "You came to watch the fight, why did you bring the letter with you?"
Could it be that he was on his way to deliver a letter and came here to watch the fun?
"I'm here to deliver a letter to Master Lin. Master Lin is going to take part in a duel, so I came here to wait for him to finish and then give him the letter."
Hearing this, Lin Xiuyong's eyes lit up, and he had a guess in his mind: "Who is the Master Lin you are talking about?"
He had seen the list of students for this competition early this morning, and there was only one person with the surname Lin.
"Mr. Lin Chenlin."
Right!
Lin Xiuyong was also feeling emotional. He found that he and this Master Lin really had a connection. First they met at the dock when they first entered the city, then there was the incident of the child being lost, and now he met the maid in front of him.
"I'll take you to find Master Lin, and I'll find the lost letter for you later."
Lin Xiuyong would not give up another chance to contact Master Lin, and he now had a shocking guess in his mind.
It is said that Master Lin is from Linhu Village and has no background or support, but according to this maid, the former Inspector of the Military Administration Office has written a letter to Master Lin.
This is not about not having a backer, this is about having a powerful backer.
No wonder Master Lin entered the martial arts gym and was able to cultivate to the Six Apertures in such a short time and be included in the list of this competition. It turns out that he had a noble person helping him behind the scenes.
Lin Xiuyong walked towards the arena with Hua'er, ignoring the curious looks of his colleagues who were maintaining order around him, and went straight to the Jingshui Martial Arts School area.
A little before tea time, Kong Yinglei arrived here with the students from the martial arts school.
Lin Chen arrived here and glanced at the entire place. He saw the village chief, his parents and elder brother, as well as the villagers of Linhu Village.
Just as he was greeting with his eyes, his sight caught Lin Xiuyong and Huaer who was following behind Lin Xiuyong.
"Sister Huaer?"
Seeing Huaer's slightly red eyes, Lin Chen's face instantly turned cold. He left the line and walked over. The instructor and the master's wife had left the county, leaving Huaer in the county. If Huaer was bullied, how would he, as a disciple, explain to the instructor and the master's wife?
When Lin Xiuyong heard Lin Chen speak up and his face suddenly turned cold, he was actually delighted. This girl was not lying, and it seemed that she was familiar with Master Lin.
"Mr. Lin, this girl said she wanted to send you a letter, but she accidentally dropped it. I will bring Miss Hua'er here first. There are too many people over there. As for the lost letter, I will go and find it for you, Mr. Lin."
"Sorry to bother you, Brother Lin."
Lin Chen expressed his gratitude and then looked at Hua'er: "Is this the letter from the teacher?"
"Well, Mr. Yu asked me to deliver two letters to you, and I lost them."
When Hua'er saw Lin Chen, it was like seeing a relative, and tears fell like rain again.
"Don't worry, Sister Hua'er. The letter is worthless. With Brother Lin's help, we will find it soon."
Lin Chen comforted Hua'er and exchanged glances with Lin Xiuyong. In such a lively scene, there would definitely be pickpockets taking the opportunity to steal, but the envelope was of little value.
Even if he can't find it now, Brother Lin can just find those professional thieves and make them hand it over. The only accident that may occur is that the thief finds that what he stole was a letter and tears it up.
However, most thieves will not open the envelope to read it at the scene. As long as Brother Lin finds the leader of the other gang, he can still get the letter back.
"Mr. Lin, I'll go find the letter first."
After Lin Xiuyong left, Lin Chen took Hua'er to the Jingshui Martial Arts Hall area. When he saw the curious looks of Master Kong, Senior Sister Jiang and other junior sisters, he explained, "Sister Hua'er is someone close to Inspector Shu. She came to deliver a letter to me."
Kong Yinglei nodded slightly. She had no idea what the relationship between Lin Chen and Inspector Shu was, but she knew that Inspector Shu had made great efforts to help Lin Chen obtain the Enlightenment Pill.
After explaining Hua'er's identity to Master Kong, Lin Chen asked Hua'er curiously, "The teacher wrote me two letters?"
When writing a letter, one letter is usually enough.
If the content is too much, just add another piece of paper in the envelope. At that time, the postman did not set a weight limit for envelopes.
"Mr. Yu asked me to decide which letter to give to Master Lin based on his ranking in the competition."
Now that the letter is lost, the painting will no longer be concealed.
Lin Chen was stunned. He wrote two letters. Which letter would be given to himself based on his ranking in the competition?
After three breaths, Lin Chen's heart was touched. He understood why the instructor did this.
I'm afraid that one of these two letters is to encourage myself and the other is to admonish myself.
If you don’t rank well, give yourself that letter of encouragement so that you won’t get discouraged in martial arts.
If you rank well, you should remind yourself not to be arrogant and complacent.
You have put a lot of effort into teaching.
Lin Chen was able to guess it. Kong Yinglei and Shen Lin, who were standing beside him, were also instructors and they quickly guessed the inside story.
The two girls also had touched expressions on their faces. The "Mr. Yu" that Lin Chen mentioned must be a good teacher, as he took so much effort to write two letters.
"Lin Chen, what is the identity of this Mr. Yu?" Kong Yinglei couldn't help but ask.
"Master Yu is my instructor in the martial arts hall. Without Master Yu, I would not have achieved what I have today."
Lin Chen's expression was serious, and his words were full of respect. Even though he was a student at the martial arts school now, being so respectful to another instructor in front of Master Kong and Instructor Shen might make them unhappy. However, he would not seek benefits and avoid harm, and hide his gratitude and respect for his instructor.
The warrior sent by Wu Zheng, who was standing by, heard the conversation between Lin Chen and the others, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
He is Lord Su's confidant and knows what his Lord is seeking.
If the contents of these two letters are really as I expected, then it will be extremely beneficial to your plan.
A poor student, a teacher and a student who are of one mind, isn't this the achievement of the adults' education?
Thinking of this, the man left silently and gave a few instructions to his men not far away.
