Chapter 168: Fellow disciples are also brothers, so there is nothing wrong with calling them brother-in-law.
Silent all night.
The next morning, Yang Zhengshan came with his entourage.
Logically speaking, this marriage should be handled by the elders, but Yang Zhengshan no longer has any elders, so he can only go there himself.
As for the matchmaker who is responsible for proposing marriage, both parties must have reached an agreement before the matchmaker can come to the door.
Otherwise, it would be a bit coercive to ask the matchmaker to come and propose marriage directly.
The Tianqing Sword Sect is located more than 30 miles west of Yuanhe County, on the edge of a series of mountains. In front of the mountain gate are two low hills, and around the hills are endless fertile fields.
Although the Tianqing Sword Sect is a martial arts sect, they also have to farm and support their families. Many of the fertile fields in front of Tianqing Mountain belong to the Tianqing Sword Sect.
In some of the surrounding villages, most of the villagers also have close ties with the Tianqing Sword Sect. They either rent the fertile land of the Tianqing Sword Sect, or they have relatives who have joined the Tianqing Sword Sect, and some villagers even came from the Tianqing Sword Sect.
Although the Tianqing Sword Sect will not recruit disciples on a large scale, it will still recruit a few every year. Some of those with poor talents will be expelled from the sect and return to their hometown if they do not make any significant breakthroughs after practicing in the sect for a few years.
After all, the Tianqing Sword Sect does not have much assets and cannot support too many disciples.
Fortunately, the sky is clear today.
At noon, Yang Zhengshan arrived at the gatehouse of the Tianqing Sword Sect.
"Xu~~"
Yang Zhengshan stopped Hongyun and looked behind the gate in astonishment.
Dozens or even hundreds of people gathered together, looking at him silently. Under the bright sunshine, the atmosphere was filled with solemnity.
I go!
what does this mean?
Even if you don't welcome me, there's no need to make such a big fuss!
Yang Zhengshan's eyes swept across and finally fell on Yu Qingyi.
There are four old men around Yu Qingyi, three men and one woman, who must be the four elders of the Tianqing Sword Sect.
Yu Qingyi was also looking at Yang Zhengshan and winking at him, but her bright eyes could not convey accurate information to him except for making Yang Zhengshan's heart beat faster.
Yang Zhengshan jumped off his horse, muttering in his heart, but he shouted: "An Ning Yang Zhengshan came to visit without permission, I hope you can forgive me!"
In fact, he did not come here rashly. When he sent the letter to Yu Qingyi, he also sent a visiting card at the same time.
However, in such a situation, Yang Zhengshan felt it would be better to lower his attitude.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to go up the mountain, you have to walk under our swords first!"
As soon as Yang Zhengshan finished speaking, Hua Jinqiu stepped out of the crowd. She was wearing a navy blue vest, a fox fur headband, holding a long sword, and looking at Yang Zhengshan with a frosty face.
Yu Qingyi had told Yang Zhengshan about the four elders of the Tianqing Sword Sect. As a girl, Yu Qingyi had already revealed most of the secrets of the Tianqing Sword Sect before she even got married.
However, Yu Qingyi did not tell Yang Zhengshan about the Tianqing Sword Formation. Firstly, it was one of the foundations of the Tianqing Sword Sect. Secondly, she felt that there was no need to tell Yang Zhengshan about it. She also did not expect that Yang Zhengshan would have to face the Tianqing Sword Formation.
In fact, the sword formation method is not something very profound and powerful. In the final analysis, it is a method of cooperation between warriors.
There are military formations in the army. A small flag is equipped with spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, and archers to fight together. This is also a battle formation.
The Tianqing Sword Formation is actually very similar to this one. Both are battle formations that require the cooperation of multiple people. The special thing about it is that it incorporates many skills of the Tianqing Sword School, such as footwork, body movements, swordsmanship, etc.
Coupled with decades of training and getting along with each other, the brothers have formed a rare tacit understanding, which has created the power of the Tianqing Sword Formation.
If it was just a book recording the secrets of the Tianqing Sword Formation, even if it was given to someone else, they probably wouldn't be able to practice it.
So although the Tianqing Sword Formation is the foundation of the Tianqing Sword Sect, it is actually not a secret.
Yang Zhengshan had a headache. He had not expected this situation.
Yu Qingyi told him that her four uncles were all very good people and had watched her grow up.
He had expected to encounter difficulties, but he never thought that he would have to resort to knives and guns right from the start.
He didn't even bring a gun today.
"Hey, ahem, uncles, this isn't a good idea!" Yang Zhengshan said with some embarrassment.
"What's wrong with that? The underworld has its own rules. Since you are here, you must abide by the rules!" Hua Jinqiu said coldly without caring what Yang Zhengshan thought.
There is indeed such a rule in the underworld. When two families marry, the man must use force to get through.
But this kind of thing is just for fun, not really to prevent the marriage.
Since both parties have come to the test, it means that both parties have already discussed the marriage.
But Yang Zhengshan is different. He is not a man of the underworld. He is a third-rank guard of the imperial court. It is indeed a bit too much to ask him to abide by the rules of the underworld.
But since Hua Jinqiu made such a request, Yang Zhengshan could not refuse.
Here, he was just an ordinary person who came to seek marriage, not a commander or an official.
After thinking for a while, Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, "In this case, I can only learn from your strength!"
"gun!"
As soon as he stretched out his hand, Ding Qiu behind him immediately handed him a spear.
He did not bring his gilded flying fish spear, but his followers behind him did carry weapons.
Raising his spear, Yang Zhengshan threw a flower-grabbing move.
"Swords and guns have no eyes, please be careful, three uncles!"
"You are the one who should be careful!" said Hua Jinqiu.
There is nothing wrong with what he said. Yang Zhengshan is quite strong, but the strength of the other three is also quite strong.
Although their strength has entered a period of decline due to their age, they all have the fifth and sixth levels of acquired cultivation and have rich combat experience.
One against three, and facing the Azure Sword Formation, Yang Zhengshan should be careful. Yu Qingyi looked at Yang Zhengshan with some worry.
She had some understanding of Yang Zhengshan's strength, but in her impression, Yang Zhengshan's strength should be the sixth level of the acquired realm, which was stronger than hers, but should not have reached the seventh level of the acquired realm.
"Girl, don't worry too much. Your uncle Hua knows what's going on and won't hurt anyone!" Su Kun couldn't help but comfort her when he saw her worried look.
"Uncle Su, why are you doing this? Isn't this making things difficult for people?" Yu Qingyi said dissatisfiedly.
When she came back yesterday, she knew what her four uncles were thinking. She tried to persuade them at that time, but these four old men were stubborn. No matter what she said, they wanted to test Yang Zhengshan's strength and character.
Difficulties and competitions are all tests.
"We are doing this for you!" Su Kun glared at Yu Qingyi with his beard puffed out, as if to say that you girl really don't know what's good for you.
Yu Qingyi felt somewhat helpless. It was not that she was unaware of the good intentions of the four uncle-masters, but she had someone in her heart, so her heart was crooked.
At this time, Yu Qingyi was somewhat eager to get married, and she really wanted to marry Yang Zhengshan.
She finally found someone she liked and who liked her, and she couldn't wait to get married.
As a result, the senior uncles did this and if things got messed up, she would feel like crying.
"Senior sister, don't worry. I think my brother-in-law is confident and he will definitely not lose to Master and the others!" Luo Feiyu, who was standing behind, suddenly interrupted.
Brother-in-law!
Yu Qingyi turned back in a daze, and then her face turned red.
"What nonsense?"
Su Kun said angrily: "Shut up! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will beat you to death!"
Can you call your brother-in-law whatever you want?
If this gets out, will Yu Qingyi's reputation be preserved?
After all, the two have not yet married.
However, Luo Feiyu just chuckled and winked at Yu Qingyi.
He really meant it when he called me brother-in-law.
Because his brother-in-law said he would recommend him to be an official.
This is what Yu Qingyi said yesterday, with the purpose of persuading the four uncles not to mess around.
As a result, the four uncles didn't care at all, but Luo Feiyu kept it in mind.
Yu Qingyi felt embarrassed and annoyed, but she couldn't say anything to blame him. She even felt happy in her heart.
Fellow disciples are also brothers, so there is nothing wrong with calling them brother-in-law.
In front of the gatehouse, Hua Jinqiu, Cao De and Xue Linfu stood in a triangle formation facing Yang Zhengshan.
Hua Jinqiu was in front, Cao De and Xue Linfu were behind. The three of them held swords. Hua Jinqiu's sword was slightly raised, while Cao De and Xue Linfu's swords were slightly drooping.
Seeing this, Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but feel a little serious.
When fighting alone against martial artists, one must be cautious.
Fortunately, this battle was just a competition, not a life-and-death fight. He could not use hidden weapons, and the opponent would not use any insidious means either.
"Then I won't be polite!" Yang Zhengshan said softly.
The next moment, the spear thrust forward, aiming straight at Hua Jinqiu's face.
Hua Jinqiu's face was as cold as ice, and he was not affected by the sharp spear light at all. He lowered his body slightly, just avoiding Yang Zhengshan's stab. At the same time, the sword flashed and went straight to Yang Zhengshan's lower body.
Behind her, Cao De and Xue Linfu jumped up at the same time, their swords blazing like stars, one attacking Yang Zhengshan's face and the other attacking his chest.
Yang Zhengshan narrowed his eyes slightly, damn, three people drew their swords at the same time, there is no way to stop them!
Put away your gun and step back!
The tall figure shot out backwards like a cannonball.
The sword light flashed like stars in the sky, chasing Yang Zhengshan closely.
Yang Zhengshan retreated very quickly, but the speed of attack of Hua Jinqiu and the other two was equally unsatisfactory.
The three of them always maintained a fixed position, and even when moving quickly, they were still in unison.
The edges of their swords kept changing. If Yang Zhengshan had retreated a little slower, he would have had several scars on his body.
In terms of the sophistication of his moves, Yang Zhengshan is far inferior to any of them.
In terms of combat experience, Yang Zhengshan is also far inferior to them.
He is a martial artist who has been practicing for decades and has been studying how to win in single combat.
As for Yang Zhengshan, he practiced charging into battle and charging forward fearlessly.
Don't talk about genius, genius is relative. Martial arts training focuses on talent, but fighting focuses on moves and experience. Of course, crushing the opponent in terms of cultivation is another matter.
Yang Zhengshan retreated more than ten feet, but was still unable to escape the attack of Hua Jinqiu and the other two.
Faced with such results, Yang Zhengshan had to change his strategy.
"careful!"
At the moment of making the move, Yang Zhengshan did not forget to give a reminder.
His arms rotated, and the spear was like a cross between his waist and abdomen. The next moment, Yang Zhengshan's whole body turned.
The tip of the gun rotated like a fan, causing gusts of whistling wind.
