Drunk Immortal Gourd

As soon as the Fourth Master finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion in the venue, but most people were only envious. Only those few monks in the late stage of the Kai Pulse Realm had a look on their faces, because of the special characteristics of Fallen Ghost Abyss. In the past, people always complained that cultivation was useless, but this time he finally came forward.

With this news as the foundation, the dissatisfaction with the increased taxes was immediately dissipated. Several monks in the late stage of opening the pulse realm were thinking about how to be selected as guards. How could they think about anything else? Although there are still dissatisfied people among the others, they have no backbone and cannot achieve anything.

In the entire Touqi Village, there are only nine people in the late stage of Kaimai Realm. The village chief, the Fourth Master, will not go. The remaining eight people are Mao Taoist, Silly Big Man, Paper Old Man, Sister Sun, and Three Fatty. After the party, these The eight of them started making preparations, and Mrs. Sun didn't even plan to open the inn.

Qingyang Zhengchou doesn't know how to get to Kuzhong City, isn't this opportunity coming? It's just that he doesn't have the cultivation level in the late stage of the Pulse Opening Realm. It's hard to say whether he can choose a guard. However, the opportunity is rare. Even if he can't choose, Mai Town is closer to Withered Tomb City than Touqi Village. Mai Town is better. It is much larger than Touqi Village, and there are more ways to get to Kuzhong City there. Besides, Taoist Mao and several other acquaintances have left, so there is no point in staying here by yourself.

Later, Qingyang found Mao Taoist and others and told him that he wanted to follow him to Mayi Town to try his luck. Mao Taoist and others had no objection. Qingyang is just one person. Compared to the hundreds of late stage cultivators in Mai Town, having him as a competitor is nothing at all. Besides, Qingyang looks ordinary and the possibility of being selected is almost zero. .

After preparations were completed on the day, the nine people set off together the next day. In order to participate in the guard selection, everyone packed up neatly and walked with the wind, for fear of walking too slowly and causing trouble. Although Fallen Ghost Abyss suppressed the strength of the monks, these After all, they are all cultivators in the late stage of the Pulse Opening Realm, and their physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people. Qingyang's body has not fully recovered, but it is the slowest, which makes the three fat guys keep complaining, complaining that everyone should not take Qingyang with them. Sick rice.

For a distance of more than 300 miles, everyone walked slowly and hurriedly, and it only took two days to arrive. Mayi Town is a large town with thousands of people. The houses here are obviously a higher level than those in Touqi Village, with wide houses and large houses. There are also many courtyards. The outside of the town is blocked by high walls made of earth and stone, and there are several streets crisscrossing the inside. There are more than a dozen various inns and shops, and it is very lively with pedestrians coming and going.

There are obviously more monks here than in Touqi Village. If you look around, you can see that the whole street is full of Kaimai Realm monks. But think about it, it is the time when the mayor is choosing guards. It is normal for there to be more monks. Touqi Village It's quite far from Mai Town, so those who are closer should have arrived long ago.

There are several inns in Mai Town, and the prices are not expensive. One silver can stay for five days. However, Qingyang has no money, so he sold the spiritual grass that he picked before and had grown for more than 40 years, and exchanged it for Four Qi Nourishing Pills and five gold coins were used to pay for the accommodation. There was nothing good on the streets of a small town with thousands of people. Qingyang lost interest after wandering around for only half an hour, and then waited in the inn for news from the mayor. A few people from Touqi Village seemed to have arrived a little early. They waited in the inn for three days before the mayor notified everyone to accept the selection.

Of course the mayor lives in the center of the town, and it is the most luxurious residence in the entire town, the Gaomen Courtyard, covering an area of ​​dozens of acres. The selection place was in the square outside the gate of the mayor's house. At this time, more than 200 people had gathered, almost all of them were monks in the late stage of Kai Pulse Realm.

There are several Qi Refining monks, but they are all sitting on a high platform in the middle of the square. In the middle is a long-bearded old man wearing linen clothes. He has a slender appearance and is at the eighth level of Qi Refining. According to the third fat man, this old man is from Mai Town. The mayor, the only late-stage Qi refining monk in the entire Mayi Town.

Next to him, sat a young man from the second level of Qi Refining. He looked somewhat similar to the mayor. He had a good figure and good looks. The only flaw was that he had pockmarks all over his face. They were as numerous as stars. He didn’t need to be introduced by the three fat men. You can guess that this must be Ma Xingchen, the son of the mayor.

Seeing that the monks who were participating in the election were almost here, the mayor stood up from his seat and said: "Everyone who is here must have heard about my selection of guards for my son. It doesn't hurt to tell you some news. My son is half In a few months, I will represent Mai Town to Tongcoff County to participate in the Holy Son Preliminary Selection. If I just go to Tongcoff County, that’s it. I will be back in two or three months. If I am selected, I may also go to Kuzhong City and other counties. It will take nearly a year to go through the Tianjiao competition. As a last resort, I decided to recruit a group of guards to protect my son's safety. "

"Lord Mayor? What is the Holy Son Preliminary Selection?" someone in the audience asked.

The mayor said: "These have nothing to do with you, and it is useless to ask. In order to avoid everyone's worries, I will explain the treatment of the guards again. After being selected, the whole family's taxes will be exempted, so that you no longer have to worry about your family. , and there will be a monthly reward of two gold. If my son can get good results in the Holy Son preliminaries, everyone will receive a big reward when he comes back."

Hearing the mayor talk about the treatment of guards again, everyone immediately forgot about the pre-selection of the Holy Son. That thing sounded like it had nothing to do with everyone, and the treatment in front of them was the most affordable. The whole family is exempted from taxes and gets a monthly salary of two gold, which is the first in the entire Mayi Town. As long as you can be selected, you will have enough food and clothing from now on, and you will no longer have to worry about survival.

Thinking of this, the people below suddenly became noisy and said one after another: "Mr. Mayor, please tell me how to select this guard. We can't wait for a long time."

The mayor smiled and said: "Since you are choosing a guard for my son, you must have the ability and loyalty to go up and down the mountain of knives and sea of ​​fire for my son. Therefore, the test for the primary selection is very simple. There are only three levels. The first level is the mountain of knives. , the second level is the sea of ​​​​fire, and the third level is the interview with my son. If you pass, you will be selected."

After the mayor finished speaking, he didn't say anything more and clapped his hands directly back. Someone behind him removed the fence on the wall, revealing two sections of the assessment venue that had been arranged in advance.

The front section is called Knife Mountain, which is about five feet long and is made entirely of thick wooden boards. The heights are undulating and there is no pattern at all. It looks like a small mountain.

At the same time, all kinds of knives were densely inserted on the wooden board, some were big and some were small, some were high and some were low, leaving almost no gaps, and there was no place to stand in the middle.

All the tips and blades of the knives are facing upward, glowing with white luster, and extremely sharp. Just looking at them from a distance will make people shudder.
