Volume 1 Small Town Turmoil Chapter 38 The Special Trick Begins
"Whew~"
In the dark room, Li Luowu, who was sitting cross-legged on the mat, exhaled and slowly opened his eyes.
"Today is the day of the special recruitment. ”
Li Luowu stood up and opened the door, and the warm sunlight sprinkled on his body, making Li Luowu feel very comfortable. At this time, he was dressed in a delicate black robe, with a space bag tied around his waist, slightly long black hair, and a tall and strong body that made him look a lot more mature.
"It's time for me to go, too. ”
Li Luowu stepped out of the door, and there was a mess outside the door, which was the courtyard of the Awakening Mansion that had been destroyed by the sharp-mouthed man three days earlier. Li Luowu ignored the mess in the courtyard and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
"Squeak. Li Luowu gently opened the door, and as the door opened, a fragrance also came to his nose. A familiar, emaciated figure suddenly lunged at him and hugged him tightly.
Li Luowu was about to break free, but the next sentence made him dispel this idea:
"Brother Wandering!"
"Xiao Ying..."Li Luowu's heart suddenly melted, and he also hugged the important person in his arms tightly, the sister who had only known each other for a year, but had deeply entered his heart, Li Ying.
"I haven't seen her for many days, but I really miss Xiaoying badly, wandering, don't let down your sister's true feelings. ”
The sudden sound of laughter made Li Luowu come back to his senses slightly, and he turned his head to look, only to see a woman standing on the other side of the gate, although she was old, but very energetic, and the woman looked at them with a kind smile.
"Granny Tao!" Li Luowu said in surprise, Tao Mei is his life-saving benefactor, and she has an extraordinary relationship with Li Qiang, Li Luowu naturally takes her very seriously.
Hearing Tao Mei's teasing, Li Ying suddenly broke free from Li Luowu's arms, and she stood beside Li Luowu, her face flushed and extremely shy.
"Grandma, you're laughing at me again!"
Li Ying said angrily, but this action and her shy look made Tao Mei smile even more, and Li Luowu on the side couldn't help laughing.
"Brother Wandering!" Li Ying turned her head and complained, her wide eyes and pouting mouth made Li Liuwu feel even more pity.
"Alright, we've got business to do. ”
Tao Mei said with a smile.
"Today is the day of special recruitment, and your Uncle Qiang has already taken the first step to greet the people sent by Juetian City and Juetian Academy. We now have to go to the place where the special recruitment was carried out and conduct the inspection, you know that. Tao Mei said to Li Luowu.
"Well, Uncle Qiang told me before leaving. ”
"Although Wu Yu didn't dare to make a mistake during the special recruitment period, you still have to take precautions to prevent them from doing something in the dark. ”
"Hmm. Li Luowu nodded solemnly, and his expression became serious.
"Then let's go now. Li Qian said nothing, and at the same time stepped forward to leave.
"There is no brother. Li Ying, who was beside Li Luowu, suddenly shouted, and Li Luowu turned his head to look at her.
"Brother Wandering, don't you hide your identity? Now the whole town knows about you and Wu Xin, including the people in other surrounding towns have also heard of you, if you are recognized by some people with bad intentions..."
"It doesn't matter. Li Xiaowu smiled lightly, and the confident eyes actually made Li Ying's heart beat faster.
"They will come if they want, and this time, I will definitely protect you. ”
The gentle words passed through Li Ying's heart, making her trance, and her cheeks gradually turned red. But this time, she was not shy, but took the initiative to step forward and gently hugged Li Luowu's arm, that scene, just like when they played more than two months ago, it was the sweetest and most memorable day for the two.
"Brother Wuwu, you seem to have changed. ”
"How has it changed?"
"I've gotten taller, and I've become handsome!"
"Hahaha. ”
.....
The crowded streets were bustling with people, and today was a special day, and there were several times more people gathered on the square of Luoshen Town than in the past, but even if there were so many people, the center of the square was still empty, because it was the place where the teenagers would fight.
At the edge of the square was a viewing platform, where the townspeople had eaten and played, and there was no sign of the crowd at this time, with only seven or eight seats above it, and a few tables full of fruit and drink.
"Hahaha.."
At this time, there was a sudden sound of laughter at the staircase of the high platform, and after a while, I saw a bunch of figures appear at the staircase, and if you look carefully, there are three leading people in front of the crowd, two of these three people are Wu Yu and Li Qiang, and between the two of them, there is an old man with white hair and long beard, and the person who has been laughing is that Wu Yu.
"I didn't expect that it was Mr. Qiu Rui who was sent this time, Mr. Qiu was in an important position in the Juetian Academy and the Juetian City at the same time, and the younger generation admired Mr. Qiu very much. ”
That Wu Yu smiled and said extremely respectfully on the side.
"Hehe, Mayor Wu praised falsely, the old man, a person who is about to enter the earth, how can he compare with you middle-aged people. ”
The old man named Qiu Rui smiled kindly, but after the smile, his face became serious, he gestured to the person behind him with his eyes, and then walked forward alone, Li Qiang and Wu Yu saw this, and also moved forward, until the three of them came to the edge of the stands, the old man said slowly:
"The purpose of this special recruitment is to find out young people with excellent talents in the Western Regions, and the Academy will focus on cultivating them, and the ultimate goal of training is to enter the inner courtyard of the Jingtian Academy until graduation, so that they can become the mainstay of the Western Regions. ”
"And the young people who have been successfully recruited in the field of the Heavenly City, their families or clans, will also be given a part of the military power of the Heavenly City. ”
"I think you all already know this information. But I want to know, do you have any questions about that?"
Wu Yu and Li Qiang were silent for a while when they heard this, but neither of them looked at each other at all, but they were immersed in their own thoughts.
"Mr. Qiu, I have a question. Li Qiang was the first to speak.
"Oh? ”
"In the past many years, there has never been a special recruitment in the Juetian Academy, let alone the right to give soldiers. And does this change mean that something is about to happen?"
"Oh?" Qiu Rui's eyes narrowed, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said:
"Then Brother Li, tell me, what is about to happen?"
Li Qiang was silent for a while, and said slowly: "I think there may be a war. ”
"War with whom?"
"Demon beast!"
"....." Hearing Li Qiang's decisive answer, Qiu Rui was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly burst out laughing.
"Brother Li is worthy of being the martial captain of this Falling God Town, and he is really sensitive to the matter of demon beasts. That's right, according to the news above, the friction between the demon beast and us is getting more and more intense. ”
Qiu Rui stroked his beard and said, "Since last year, demon beasts have violated the borders of the Western Regions more and more times, and I think Brother Li understands this very well. ”
Li Qiang nodded.
"But what's even more terrifying is the preparation revelation secretly issued by the Heavenly Temple. ”
"Prepare for the Apocalypse?"
"That's right, the Heavenly Temple has strictly ordered all the cities under its domain to prepare for war, and the troops of many factions in the border are more than doubled, and the rest of the halls in the Western Regions have made the same move, what does this mean? It means that the temporary balance between the demons may be about to be broken! And we, as the first line of contact with the demon beasts, need to prepare as soon as possible!"
"After discussing with the Golden Sky City, the Juetian Academy made such a decision, allowing the Juetian Academy to carry out special recruitment in the Western Regions, introduce talents, and accumulate future combat power for the Western Regions. ”
"Introduce talents and accumulate combat power.," Li Qiang muttered.
"But is there any time? Can you determine the time of the war?" Li Qiang asked suddenly.
"I don't know, we don't know anything. Qiu Rui said indifferently.
"Maybe it's three years, five years, maybe even ten years, or maybe it's about to explode. Regardless of time, we cannot even predict the scale of the war, whether it will be a skirmish, or a full-scale outbreak, or a false alarm. ”
"We don't know any of that, but we still need to be prepared anyway, and we still have to do it. ”
After listening to Qiu Rui's narration, Li Qiang and Wu Yu both fell silent at the same time, and they sighed with emotion, but whether what they thought and felt in their hearts was the same, others could not know.
"Hahaha, okay two. I don't say these things to bother you, but to hope that no matter which gateway the winner of the special recruitment is, I hope that the two of you can work with him to help protect our borders. ”
"Yes, thank you Mr. Qiu for your teachings. Wu Yu and Li Qiang saluted to that Qiu Rui together. At the same time, the crowd under the high platform suddenly became lively, and the three of them followed the sound and saw dozens of teenagers of all kinds rushing towards the center of the square.
"Look, our protagonists for today are on the scene. Qiu Rui stroked his beard and smiled.
"The red-robed young man in the lead is the son of Mayor Wu's family, right?"
"Exactly. Wu Yu replied respectfully.
"Heroic, high-spirited, a talent. ”
"Mr. Qiu has won the prize. Wu Yu said, but his heart was full of pride and joy, because Wu Xin was appreciated by Qiu Rui, which meant that this special move was more certain.
"Eh, where did I win the prize, your son-in-law is not only dignified, but his strength is also extraordinary, hehehe. ”
Qiu Rui smiled, looking at Wu Xin with a little surprise and appreciation in his eyes, as if he had found some treasure.
"That's right, Brother Li. Qiu Rui suddenly opened his mouth and said:
"I heard from Zhang Rui that there is a cultivation wizard by your side, I wonder if you will participate in the special recruitment today?"
"Mr. Qiu is talking about Li Luowu? he...."
When Li Qiang was about to answer, Wu Yu took the first step and said:
"Mr. Qiu may not know that this Li Luowu did not awaken during the prescribed awakening period, so he will not participate this time. ”
"Oh, didn't you go to the awakening?
According to him, he had no interest in cultivation and just wanted to live a dull life. ”
"Nothing interested in cultivation? This kid's heart is different. Qiu Rui laughed and said. "If you don't want to wake up, the old man is not like Zhang Rui, he can't open his legs when he sees talents, everything in this world has its own way of living. It's just a pity that such a talent can't be carved and polished. ”
Qiu Rui sighed, and then he stopped talking and continued to focus on the lower part of the stands. And Li Qiang didn't speak again since he was interrupted, just stood silently aside, his eyes were on the crowd, as if he was looking for something.
"Have you already arrived for today's special recruitment?"
Under the stands, a specially recruited organizer shouted loudly.
"One person missing. Another member of the organization standing next to the teenagers replied.
"Who is one left?"
"I'll see.... Oh, it's a native of this Fallen God Town, it's called..."
"It's me!"
A crisp sound suddenly came from the crowded crowd, making the square quiet for a while.
"Ouch, there are so many people... It's so crowded!"
"It's all your fault, Brother Wu, who told you to take a long detour from the center of town, and the three of us squeezed all the way over. ”
"Haha, it's not like I haven't been out for a long time, I want to go around the town, don't be angry, it's my fault, it's my fault. ”
"Hmph. ”
The conversation between a man and a woman came faintly from the crowd, causing everyone in the square to look towards the sound, and even Wu Xin, Wu Yu and others looked at the crowd with some curiosity. However, when the owner of the voice squeezed out of the crowd and appeared in full view, Wu Yu and Wu Xin's eyes widened in surprise, and Wu Xin showed a weird smile after being surprised.
"Luoshen Town Martial Arts Team, Li Xuanwu. The black-robed young man smiled and saluted with his fists.
"I'm sorry for being late. ”
