Chapter 62: Jianlu Village
Jianlu Village.
The village is located at the foot of the majestic mountain, located in the open terrain, the houses are neatly arranged, blue bricks and white tiles, small bridges and flowing water, and there is not much difference from ordinary towns.
From a distance, you can see that the archway outside the village and town is engraved with three big characters like a sharp sword 'Jianlu Village'.
Xue Ye walked on the ancient road with a straight face, his eyes were cold, he was dressed in a black robe, carrying a long sword, and at first glance he was a swordsman walking the rivers and lakes, but near the Hidden Sword Valley, it was very common for swordsmen dressed like this.
Even the entire Yizhou was influenced by the Hidden Sword Valley, and more than eighty percent of the martial artists loved to practice kendo.
On this day, there were many young swordsmen rushing to Jianlu Village, and at a glance, there were many young swordsmen with swords on their backs on the ancient road hurrying towards Jianlu Village.
I only listened to the conversation of a few swordsman youths who were walking together: "There is only one formal entrance assessment in the Hidden Sword Valley once a year, and the conditions for accepting apprentices are extremely harsh, they must be under the age of eighteen, and only those who have cultivated in the Enlightenment Realm have the opportunity to participate in the assessment, even if there are only a few hundred people in the entire Yizhou who are qualified to participate in the assessment!"
"Yes, those who can have the courage to come to participate in the assessment must be the genius who leads the way, but when I come to Jianlu Village, I know how worthless geniuses are, and they can be seen everywhere like turnips and greens!"
"Hmph, what else, Zangjian Gu is one of the six three-star sects of the Tianwu Kingdom, and being able to pass the assessment is only to become an outer disciple, but that is enough to glorify the ancestors, if you want to become an inner disciple, it must be the top talent of the Tianwu Kingdom, there is no one in ten thousand!"
"Who says it's not, there are more than 100 genius swordsmen who come to participate in the assessment of Jianlu Village every year, and in the end there are only a few hundred people left, a few of us are just here to try our luck and have a long experience!"
......
Xue Ye listened to the conversation of several people in his ears, and remained silent, the entrance assessment of the Hidden Sword Valley gathered all the top genius swordsmen in the world, do you want to join in the fun, and confirm how your sword path is looking at the young swordsmen of the entire Tianwu Kingdom.
"Forget it, no one is my opponent!"
Xue Ye shook his head, in his eyes, his opponent was at least the outer disciples of the Hidden Sword Valley, and these young swordsmen who came to participate in the assessment were not qualified to be his opponents.
When he came to Jianlu Village, there was indeed a long queue to sign up, and Xue Ye directly bypassed the crowd and walked into the archway of 'Jianlu Village'.
Jianlu Village is very large, it can be regarded as a post station in the Tibetan Sword Valley, which can accommodate thousands of people, there are restaurants and inns in it, most of which are the property of the elders of the outer gate, and are guarded by some miscellaneous disciples.
Coming to the center of Jianlu Village, in front of Xue Ye was a large courtyard, and a mahogany vertical sign at the door had five big characters written on it: 'Steward of Jianlu Village'.
"What do you do?"
As early as Xue Ye stepped forward, two miscellaneous disciples wearing gray sword robes stepped forward and asked.
"I'm from Ruge City, a student of Li Wen, the dean of Baisheng Academy, and I've come to meet the elder of Jianlu Village. ”
Xue Ye took out Li Wen's letter of recommendation and handed it over.
"A student of the Yum Swordsman?"
The two hesitated, but seeing that Xue Ye's eyes were cold, and his temperament was neither humble nor arrogant, but unusual, and then a miscellaneous disciple softened his tone and said, "It turns out to be Elder Li's student, you wait a while." ”
After speaking, the miscellaneous disciples took the letter and entered the courtyard.
In the east wing of the courtyard, a slightly chubby black-haired old man was meditating with his eyes closed, only to see the miscellaneous disciple come to the door and report respectfully: "Elder Zhan, there is a young man outside who claims to be a student of Elder Li, a swordsman of Yum, waiting outside the door with a letter of recommendation from Elder Li!"
"Li Wen!"
Elder Zhan opened his eyes, and suddenly there was a slight hint of unkindness: "Present his letter!"
The miscellaneous disciples presented it, and after Elder Zhan opened the letter and read it, he became even more angry: "Sure enough, it's Li Wen, hmph, he wants his students to enter my Hidden Sword Valley to cultivate, is he using the Hidden Sword Valley as a vegetable market, anyone can come in, tell people outside, if you want to get started, you must take the assessment, and no one's students are useless!"
The miscellaneous disciples understood, and after they came back, their tone was still unkind: "Elder Zhan said that if you want to get started, you must take the assessment, otherwise you can leave!"
"It seems that this Elder Zhan has a holiday with the teacher, since this is the case, I will sign up, just practice the sword activity!"
Xue Ye was lazy with the other party, turned around and left.
After queuing for nearly a day, Xue Ye finally signed up, and the assessment time was three days later, in the valley behind Jianlu Village.
It was getting late, and Xue Ye came to a restaurant, intending to eat something.
The major restaurants in Jianlu Village were full, Xue Ye finally found an empty table by the window and sat down, then ordered a few side dishes, closed his eyes and waited.
"Hey, there's no one next to you, brother!"
The one who spoke was a young girl, sixteen or seventeen years old, with beautiful facial features, a pair of big eyes that were very eccentric, with a slanted ponytail, a fiery red slim leather uniform, and a delicate body that was extremely concave and convex.
Before the words fell, the girl in military uniform was already sitting next to Xue Ye, crossed her long legs and stepped on the bench, squinted her head and smiled: "I guess you are such a boring person and have no companions, there must be no one here, I will sit here, but not everyone has the opportunity to sit with a beauty like me!"
Xue Ye lazily ignored the other party and continued to close his eyes to recuperate.
The hotel was very noisy, only Xue Ye and the girl in costume were very quiet at the table, and after the food was served, the two of them also ate their own food and did not communicate, the girl in costume couldn't help but be curious about Xue Ye, and knocked on the table with chopsticks: "Hey, we can all stuff out of the gourd, where are you from, what is your name?"
Xue Ye sat up straight, didn't raise his head, and ate by himself.
"Hmph, you kid is too arrogant, don't let me meet you during the entrance assessment, otherwise you will be miserable!"
The girl in military uniform clenched her fists, looking pretending to be fierce.
The two never crossed paths again, the girl in uniform ate sullenly, she always couldn't be idle, sitting there changing her movements.
"Brother Feng, we're late, and there is almost no place in any restaurant!"
At this time, four people walked up to the second floor of the restaurant and looked around at the surrounding environment.
"Just find a place to sit!"
The one who opened his mouth was a tall man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in an expensive black mink coat, with a cold and arrogant complexion, pretending to be temperamental.
"What a good Brother Feng!"
A tall and thin eagle-nosed boy answered, but seeing that there were still two places next to Xue Ye and the girl in military uniform by the window, he walked over, raised his head and said, "If the two of you finish eating, leave!"
Xue Ye was silent, the girl in uniform rolled her eyes, glanced at the other party, and deliberately did not speak.
"Hey, I told you if there is a problem with your two ears!"
The eagle-nosed boy's face was angry, and his voice was raised a lot, only to see that everyone's attention in the restaurant was suddenly concentrated.
"Your ears are the problem, your whole family has ears!"
The girl in military uniform was suddenly angry, and scolded with her chin cocked.
"Little girl, you are so bold, do you know who is behind me?
The hawk-nosed boy pointed to the tall man behind him.
"I don't care where you guys are the turtle bastards, if you mess with your aunt and grandmother, you won't be able to eat and walk around!"
The girl in military uniform was like an angry little tiger, with teeth and claws.
"This little girl really doesn't know how thick the sky is, this is the person who shouldn't be provoked!"
"Who is that person, and why is he so arrogant?"
"You don't know, this person's name is Zhan Feng, he is a very famous young swordsman in Yizhou, his birth is even more amazing, the Zhan family in Yizhou is a famous kendo family with great power, not only that, I heard that he is the nephew of Zhan Houde, the elder of Jianlu Village, and the entrance assessment after three days will be presided over by Zhan Houde himself, offending his nephew, even if this little girl's grades are good, don't want to worship under the door of the Tibetan Sword Valley!"
On the side table, several swordsmen whispered, many people were afraid of being involved in this right and wrong, so they quickly left the scene, and on the second floor of the entire restaurant, most of the people were suddenly missing, and only a few swordsmen with high cultivation were ready to stay and watch the excitement.
"Duan Tao, look at how you mix, a stinky girl who has not dried up scolds you, it doesn't matter if you scold you, even Brother Feng is scolded, this is your responsibility!"
Beside Zhan Feng, a short man gloated.
"Stinky girl, I'll make you look good!"
Duan Tao was annoyed and angry, and suddenly drew his sword, but he only pulled it out, but he felt that he was shrouded in a compelling cold air, and it was the girl in military uniform who also drew her sword.
It was obvious that Duan Tao was the first to draw his sword, but the sword qi of the girl in military uniform turned into an afterimage in the sky and was already approaching him.
"So fast!"
Everyone present was good at using swords, but they couldn't help but exclaim, this girl's speed of drawing a sword was rarely matched.
Duan Tao could only retreat, but he felt a chill all over his body, and there were many holes in his clothes when he looked at his body, the most obvious being the second half of his life, most of his pants were torn, and his bottoms and pants were leaking out, which caused laughter.
"Haha, I know how powerful my aunt is!"
The girl in uniform also laughed and trembled.
"You're still not brothers, hurry up and help!"
Duan Tao's face turned red, but it was just a face, he knew that the strength of the girl in uniform was far from it, and he didn't dare to defend the enemy alone, so he scolded.
"Haha, you can't do it without your brother!"
The short boy also laughed, drew his sword and swept out, and joined forces with Duan Tao to pounce towards the slender body of the girl in military uniform.
The cultivation of these two people is comparable to Xue Ye, they are both in the triple realm of enlightenment, and they are also first-class geniuses in Ruge City, but they are like children in front of the girl, and they are being played around.
I saw that the girl in military uniform was holding a slender and small sword, the blade was very thin, and it was very tough, and it was like a rain of flowers in the sky, covering the two of them in the aura, and in an instant, there was only the power to parry.
