Chapter 2 New Identity

The Cui family's cemetery is not too far from the Cui family's house, even if it is a mountain road, it takes less than an hour to get there.

The young master of the Cui family, Cui Li, has been away to study art for these years, and the servants of the Cui family are still loyal and honest. Every year during the winter of Qingming, they would go to the mountain to clean and pay homage, so the cemetery is still fairly clean.

Under the leadership of the family servants who are still in good health, A Fu and Cui Wang, who are over fifty years old, Zhang Tie walked slowly for forty to fifty minutes on the mountain path, and finally came to the tomb of the Cui family master and wife .

The Cui family's cemetery is well-built. There are stone fences around the cemetery, and there is also a bluestone floor on the ground in front of the tomb. On both sides of the tomb, there are also carved a few auspicious beasts guarding the tomb.

Standing in front of the tombstone of the joint burial, Zhang Tie looked at the names of the Cui family couple on the tombstone, feeling inexplicably complicated emotions in his heart.

Without Zhang Tie doing anything, Ah Fu and Cui Wang were already busy sweeping the cemetery and arranging sacrificial incense candles for Zhang Tie.

You and your son were killed by the poisonous wolf Zhu Liang. The real Cui Li died in the mountains. He was killed by the poisonous wolf Zhu Liang and fed to the wild beasts. There are no bones left. I killed the poisonous wolf Zhu Liang. From now on I will stand against Cui Li In the eyes of outsiders, you can be regarded as your sons. In spite of your son's status and status, today, I will kowtow three times to both of you. It is also me and your Cui family. One of the fate...

Thinking so, Zhang Tie didn't hesitate when he saw what A Fu and Cui Wang had prepared. Instead, he knelt down in front of the tomb and sincerely kowtowed to the Cui family couple three times.

After kowtowing, Zhang Tie stood up, patted the clothes on his body, and then, together with Ah Fu and Cui Wang, built a stone pot specially used to melt paper money beside the tomb, and melted the yellow and white paper money they brought.

While burning paper money, Ah Fu and Cui Wang couldn't help crying.

Old A Fu burst into tears, "Master, madam, open your eyes and see, the young master has returned, and he is promising a lot. Our old Cui family will be regarded as a glorious ancestor in the future..."

Cui Wang's eyes were also red, "Yes, our young master will ride a big horse in the future, ride a golden boat and become a general and a city lord, and you can rest in peace underground..."

The servants of the Cui family that the poisonous wolf Zhu Liang found were all honest and caring. In the eyes of these servants, the Cui family and his wife naturally died of illness one after another, and the young master Cui Li was naturally the same young master Cui Li back then. , this time the young master of the Cui family is back, the Cui family is going to prosper, and the young master Cui is kind-hearted, this time, once he comes back this time, everyone's monthly salary will be doubled, everyone will have a good life in the future, and now everyone has a kind of suffering The feeling of getting ahead.

After dissolving the paper money, Ah Fu extinguished the sparks in the stone pot with the river rice in the clay pot he brought, and then sprinkled it around the cemetery. Just as they were about to leave the Cui family cemetery, the slightly panting Jia The pavilion chief arrived with County Magistrate Li.

Cui Lili, the county magistrate who saw Zhang Tie's incarnation for the first time, also lit up.

At this moment, Cui Li is still a strong figure over two meters tall with a shiny bald head and bulging muscles all over his body, which makes people feel as strong as steel and as strong as a mountain at a glance. The young master of the Cui family in others , the real age is over 40 years old and nearly 50 years old, but he doesn't look old. At first glance, he looks about 30 years old. He is an upright man. Master Cui's age, if it is for ordinary people It is said that it is the age when Shaohua has passed away, but for a knight, this age, even if he is 10 years older, is not old, but simply too young, completely like the sun at eight or nine in the morning.

Impressed by County Magistrate Li,

It's Cui Li's thick eyebrows that look like guillotines. Just looking at them makes people feel murderous and chills. Those thick eyebrows combined with his iron mountain-like figure give him a vicious look... Oh, No, it's an imposing manner without anger, and under the thick eyebrows, Cui Li's eyes, just as Jia Tingchang said, there seems to be a flash of fire in the pupils, between opening and closing, which is even more frightening...

As a county magistrate, his knowledge is of course much higher than that of Jia Tingchang and his ilk. Just looking into Cui Li's eyes, County Magistrate Li immediately remembered that when he had a party with his friends one year, everyone talked about knights At that time, a distinguished guest brought by his friend once said that some masters who practiced advanced cheats would show abnormal powers on their appearance after they advanced to knights, and the eyes are the spiritual power of a person. The door, so many of the visions of the exercises, many of them appear from the eyes, so that others can see them from his eyes.

Combined with the news brought by Jia Tingchang, County Magistrate Li judged almost instantly that Cui Li is already a knight, and it seems that he is not practicing ordinary skills.

This Cui Li, who was promoted to a knight at this age, definitely has a bright future.

Thinking about it this way, before Chief Jia Tingchang opened his mouth to introduce, County Magistrate Li took the initiative to salute Cui Li first, "Magistrate Li Chunfeng met Mr. Cui in Xiatongguang County!"

Cui Li's identity has not yet been determined, and he has no official status, so he cannot be called an adult. As the parent official of a county, it is almost flattering to call Zhang Tie Young Master Cui at this time, and it is not polite to call Cui Li directly by his name. County magistrate Li just called Mr. Zhang Tiecui.

"Oh, so it's County Magistrate Li!" Zhang Tie smiled and nodded. His attitude was not arrogant, but he was not very eager either.

To a knight, a county magistrate is nothing, the two sides are already people from two worlds, unless they are acquaintances and friends, otherwise, it is surprising that they are too eager.

Zhang Tie's attitude made County Magistrate Li firmer in his judgment.

After saying hello to Zhang Tie, County Magistrate Li took the initiative to walk to the tomb of the Cui family and his wife, bowed earnestly three times, and said in his mouth, "The family is a filial son, and his ancestors are also honorable. We in Tongguang County have tens of thousands of people, thanks to Cui Jiashi'an and his wife, strict father and loving mother, for cultivating and nurturing the first knight in Tongguang County, earning the first majestic archway, enlightening future generations, and shining in the village!"

Zhang Tie laughed out loud, this county magistrate Li is really a wonderful person, he can make such a compliment in front of his own face, he really has some skills.

"Li County Magistrate and Jia Tingchang have worked hard on the mountain, why not go home and have a cup of tea and rest!"

County magistrate Li laughed and crossed his hands again, "Then bother you!"

Looking at Li County Magistrate's attitude towards the young master of the Cui family, Chief Jia Ting, who originally felt that he "has been watching Cui Li grow up" and somehow has some elder superiority in his heart, also became respectful.

The group went down the mountain again.

Going down the mountain is much easier than going up the mountain.

County magistrate Li walked vigorously, not losing to young people. Among the four people, walking and chatting with Zhang Tie did not take any effort at all.

"Magistrate Li is already level seven?" Zhang Tie asked County Magistrate Li.

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. I couldn't learn martial arts before I came down. I only reached the sixth level. It was difficult to make progress. I had to learn the way of the world and entered the officialdom. I have slowly honed it over the years. I insisted on exercising and meditating every day. I barely ignited more than ten Mingdian, I just advanced to the seventh level last year, so I dare not boast in front of Mr. Cui!" County Magistrate Li said modestly.

When Zhang Tie was in Youzhou, he heard that Taixia selected high-quality officials, starting from the county magistrates of the ninth rank, and the minimum requirement was to reach the level of a sixth-rank soldier. He had no contact with these low-level officials in Youzhou. I was dubious at first, but I didn't expect it to be true.

This can be regarded as being in Taixia. In any other place, there is no country that can achieve and adhere to such talent selection standards.

The sixth-level fighters, in the Jieyi subcontinent before, are already at the level of the first-level grassroots officers in the troops of various countries.

Don't look at the Li county magistrate who looks like a scholar, but advancing to the seventh level means that ordinary more than a dozen big men and thieves are not his opponents at all. Even if it is a sixth-level fighter, three or five people may He can't help it.

Taixia's formal school education, even including the academies, followed the path of combining civil and martial arts. This education method of combining civil and martial arts has been passed down for thousands of years among the Taixia Chinese. Looking at the history of the Chinese people before the cataclysm, we can find a rule that all the dynasties that insisted on the integration of civil and military education, in those dynasties where the scholars carried the bow and the poets held the swords in the world, the Chinese were born in large numbers. Incomparably powerful, the dynasties that are brilliant in history and abandon the education model of combining civil and martial arts will gradually decline. In the world, there were endless conquests everywhere, and Chinese countries appeared one after another, but they were all very short-lived. However, in the dynasties where the national education was completely focused on culture and despise military, such dynasties could live longer, but in the end they were all without exception. The foreign invasion ended with a huge disaster for the entire Chinese nation, and those disasters were often close to genocide.

The future of a country can be seen from the current education in the country. Those who value martial arts are strong and chaotic, those who value literature are weak and die. Only the unity of culture and martial arts is the right way.

Taixia's national policy, the way of education written in "Taixia Law", is exactly four words-integration of civil and military.

Back at Cui's house, Jia Tingchang made a clever excuse to leave beforehand. In the end, only county magistrate Li and Zhang Tie came to the house and drank the spring tea that the Cui family picked from their own tea garden on the mountain.

"I don't know what sect and school Mr. Cui has invested in all these years to be promoted to a knight?" County Magistrate Li asked Zhang Tie a question while drinking tea.

"It's so difficult to get into a famous school. You either have to be very talented or have a strong background!" Zhang Tie shook his head, "I have no family or school, so I can only go to famous mountain universities everywhere, and visit masters to learn art. To live up to those who have worked hard, I had an adventure in a famous mountain, met the cave of sitting knights, obtained secret books to prescribe medicine in the cave, and after more than ten years of hard work, I was promoted to knights!" Zhang Tie threw out what he had prepared a long time ago. Good rhetoric, this rhetoric is basically true, and it can stand the test. If someone really wants to be serious, Zhang Tie can dispel all doubts by leading him to the cave where he got the "Candle Dragon Sutra".

County magistrate Li was stunned. Such things happened in Taixia, but they were all very legendary. He didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to Cui Li in Liuying Town under his rule.

"Then I wonder what plans Mr. Cui has in the future?"

"At the time of this holy war, as a knight, it is natural to serve the country and go to the most dangerous place to beat the demons!" Zhang Tie said impassionedly, "I am coming back this time, that is, staying at home for a few days. Don't pay attention to your parents, look at the folks in Liuying Town, and then go to the Diyuan Realm to have a good fight with the demons..."

"Mr. Cui is strong, a man should be like this, but it's a pity that my strength is low. If I can advance to the rank of knight, I must follow Mr. Cui's example and fight against the demons on the battlefield!" Magistrate Li slapped the table excitedly.

"This time, County Magistrate Li just happened to be here, and I have something to ask!"

"Please tell me, as long as you can do it, you can define it next time!"

Zhang Tie touched his bald head, and said boldly, "After I left, I don't know when and what month I came back. A group of loyal servants helped me guard the house. These loyal servants are getting older, and each of them has no relatives , if something happens, please take care of Li County Magistrate a little bit, don't make his evening miserable and be bullied by others!"

"Don't worry, this matter is on my shoulders!" County Magistrate Li immediately agreed, this kind of thing that can build a relationship with the knight, you can't find it with a lantern, let alone bumping into it on your own initiative, County Magistrate Li Where will I refuse.

"Then thank you very much!"

Going back to Liuying Town and confirming his current identity as Cui Li, Zhang Tie became more confident...

County Magistrate Li only stayed at Cui's house for a while before leaving Liuying Town.

After confirming Zhang Tie's status as a knight, County Magistrate Li returned to the county seat by car, and sent out an official document on the same day.

The official document was sent to Zeyun City. Tongguang County is under the rule of Zeyun City. There is a knight in Liuying Town in Tongguang County. For Yuncheng, this is also not a trivial matter.

In this way, even the Master Shepherd of Zeyun City was alarmed, and the news that Cui Li, the young master of the Cui family in Liuying Town, became a knight officially spread under Panlong Mountain.

In the next few days, Jia Tingchang of Liuying Town and the villagers in Yigan Town felt that the whole Liuying Town had become a vegetable market, and the dignitaries with a radius of hundreds of kilometers seemed to be going to the market. The same people gathered in Liuying Town and went to Cui's house to post and pay their respects. I heard that the presents brought by those who came to pay their respects were too large to hold in the entire warehouse of Cui Mansion.

The small town of Liuying has never experienced such a scene in history.

After a few days of excitement, one night, some residents of Liuying Town saw flames flying from Cui's house into the sky again. The next day, those who were still waiting in line to visit Master Cui's family came again. While waiting, I heard a piece of news—Master Cui's family left last night...
