At this moment, in front of the gate of the Ancient Sword City, a lot of onlookers had already gathered.

When the voice of the old man fell, the onlookers were very curious, at this time, who dared to come out to plead, and then everyone heard the prestige.

At this moment, the surroundings are unusually quiet, and they all want to see who this intercessor is. I saw that everyone unanimously gave way to make a way, and what greeted everyone's eyes was a smiling old man with gray hair, followed by a petite and delicate girl.

Not long after, the old man and the girl came to Qin Ming under the gaze of everyone.

It was only at this time that everyone came to their senses and whispered about it.

"Who is this old man and girl, how come they have never seen it in the ancient sword city!"

"Could it be that this old man has something to do with Ancient Sword City. ”

"Ancient Sword City is a subordinate force of the Ancient Sword Sect, this old man helps the guards of Ancient Sword City to intercede, could it be that he is a member of the Ancient Sword Sect?"

Qin Ming turned a deaf ear to everything around him, watching the other party walk towards him, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking the other party up and down, trying to see from the other party whether the person who came was not good.

It wasn't until the other party came to him that he still couldn't see anything.

The old man smiled all the way, and there was not the slightest malice on his face, which made Qin Ming, who had not been deeply involved in the world, a little wary of him in his heart.

The old man came to Qin Ming's side, and saw that the other party's eyes showed a bit of vigilance, he stroked his snow-white beard, and suddenly laughed and said, "Little friend, you don't need to be so vigilant about the old man, the old man has no ill will towards you." ”

Qin Ming looked at the old man in front of him with this sudden laughter, which was completely incompatible with the immortal wind bone Mo Xiang before, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.

At this time, the girl behind the old man saw Qin Ming's expression, obviously she also realized the old man's gaffe, and hurriedly stepped forward, pulled the other party's arm fiercely, and at the same time turned her head slightly and glared at the other party.

The old man was glared at by the eyes of the girl next to him, and then he realized that he was a little out of shape, and coughed slightly dryly, "That, Xiaoyou, I just want to tell you that I have no ill will towards you, and I hope you don't think too much." After saying that, he smiled awkwardly.

This is too slippery, isn't it?It's completely two kinds of people, and this is no one, how did you practice it?Qin Ming stared at each other in surprise, and asked secretly in his heart.

Seeing that the other party was staring at him like this, the old man coughed dryly, then shifted his attention and said to Qin Ming: "Xiaoyou, I spoke out to dissuade you before, not because I knew them, but because I didn't want to see you get into trouble, the guards of the Ancient Sword City are the subordinate forces of the Ancient Sword Sect, if you kill these people, you will inevitably be wanted by the Ancient Sword Sect, the old man sees that you are extremely talented, and you are a newcomer, I don't want Xiaoyou to be wanted by the Ancient Sword Sect because of some trivial things." ”

Hearing this, Qin Ming also nodded secretly. Although he was not afraid of the so-called wanted Ancient Sword Sect, there was no need to cause some unnecessary trouble, and the time to delay was to improve his cultivation as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming was grateful for what the old man had done, and his good impression of the old man in his heart also improved a lot.

You must know that in this world, there are not many good people, and for a passerby, it is rare to be able to do something like the old man.

When the guards heard the old man's words, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Immediately, Qin Ming said loudly to the captain of the guard in front of him: "You get out, for the sake of the senior's face, I will spare your dog's life today." ”

Hearing this, the chief guard hurriedly said, "Thank you young master for not killing, thank you." After saying that, he ran away without looking back.

Seeing Qin Ming speak, the guards hurriedly thanked him in unison, turned around, and ran towards the city with a rolling belt, wishing that he had a few more legs.

Qin Ming didn't think much about it anymore, and immediately bowed to the old man, "Thank you for the reminder from your seniors, the kid has thanked him here." Then he got up, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said again: "Please ask the senior's surname, the kid will definitely repay him in the future, as long as the seniors speak, the kid will not frown even if he goes up the knife mountain and goes down to the sea of fire." ”

Although this is not a great favor, for Qin Ming's heart, the grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, others treat him well, he will remember it in his heart. If any good is against him, he will repay it tenfold. He Qin Ming is this kind of character. Don't look at his usual hanging, but he can still distinguish between grievances and grievances.

The old man looked at Qin Ming, his face showed a teachable appearance, and he nodded slightly, "Well, he has a good heart, he is a person who values love and righteousness, and his talent is also extraordinary, and his future achievements are bound to be limitless." ”

"The predecessor is wonderful" Qin Ming arched his hand, looking humble.

For Qin Ming's attitude, the old man became more and more satisfied, and the smile on his face was even worse, "The old man's name is Zhuge Qing, what you said to repay is not necessary, the old man also said it before, but it is just a gesture." When the old man said this, he paused, then looked at the girl beside him and said, "This is the old granddaughter, named Zhuge Yue."

"Hello girl, under Qin Ming" Qin Ming looked at Zhuge Yue beside the old man and smiled slightly.

"Well, hello. Zhuge Yue nodded a little shyly. Then he curled up behind the old man, his eyes did not dare to look at Qin Ming.

Seeing Zhuge Yue like this, Qin Ming couldn't help but smile slightly. secretly said in his heart: It seems that he is still too handsome, and the handsome girl doesn't dare to look at it directly. Tsk, it's still good looks, so you can decide if you can move forward!

Seeing his granddaughter so shy, Zhuge Qing couldn't help but quip: "Girl, you are usually not afraid of heaven and earth, what happened today?

"Grandpa......" Zhuge Yue stomped his feet angrily, his face was slightly red, and he looked at the old man with a look of disgust.

Seeing his granddaughter so indifferent, Zhuge Qing smiled even more proudly. Qin Ming on the side couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment, and interrupted: "Senior, I don't know where Zhuge seniors want to go?"

Seeing Qin Ming's inquiry, Zhuge Qing immediately put away his previous hip-hop appearance, and coughed lightly, "I'm going to take my granddaughter into the city to participate in the enrollment assessment of the Ancient Sword Sect" As he spoke, he didn't forget to look at Zhuge Yue behind him, and then said, "I don't know if Qin Xiaoyou is also going to participate in the assessment?"

"Ancient Sword Sect Enrollment Assessment?" Qin Ming said in surprise, and then looked at Zhuge Qing and asked, "Then when will the enrollment assessment start?"

"Could it be that Qin Xiaoyou doesn't know the enrollment assessment time of the Ancient Sword Sect?" This time it was Zhuge Qing's turn to be surprised, and before the other party could continue to speak, Qin Ming said: "The juniors just came out to hang out casually, and they really don't know the assessment time, but the juniors do have the intention of joining the Gujian Sect." ”

Ancient Sword Sect, Qin Ming is definitely going to enter, he has made an appointment with Xiaoxiang before, how can he not believe his words.

"Then why don't we go together, I don't know what Qin Xiaoyou will do?" Zhuge Qing was overjoyed when he heard this, as long as Qin Ming also wanted to join the Ancient Sword Sect, it seemed that his granddaughter still had a play.

"It's okay, the kid is new to the city, and he is not familiar with this ancient sword city, so he can take care of his peers. The juniors will bother. After Qin Ming pondered slightly, he agreed.

"It's okay, it's all along the way, why bother or not. Zhuge Qing was a look of joy on his face. I didn't forget to look back at Zhuge Yue, whose face was still a little red at the moment.

"Well, let's go into the city. ”

......

In the hall of the outer gate of the Ancient Sword Sect, the two old men were sitting on the seats in the conference hall, and their faces were anxious at the moment.

"Great Elder, in three days, it will be this year's outer door enrollment assessment, if you can't recruit one or two talented disciples this year, it's not easy for the inner door elder to explain." An old man in a gray robe with a slightly thin face said anxiously to the old man beside him.

The person who spoke was named Bai Mengshan, and he was the third elder of the outer gate of the Ancient Sword Sect.

The outer gate of the Ancient Sword Sect needs to continuously send talented disciples to the inner gate every year, so as to ensure that the inner disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect can have sufficient competitive advantages with other forces. In the past few years, they have sent fewer and fewer outstanding disciples to the inner gate, which has provoked the elders in the inner gate to be furious.

For each sect, the inner disciples can be regarded as the core of a sect, and whether a sect is strong in the future or not, the first thing to look at is its inner disciples, there are enough inner disciples, and the talent is strong enough, then, it means that the future of its sect is unlimited, and its status is often above other sects.

The old man known as the Great Elder pondered slightly, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I can only pray for God's blessing, if this year's disciples are still the same as in previous years, then all the elders of our outer sect will probably be punished from above." ”

The eldest elder's name is Zhang Fu, he has not been angry in the past few years, just this year, the above spoke, if they can't recruit a few talented people this year, they will all be punished.

"Hey, I hope God willing, send us a supreme genius this year. Bai Mengshan's eyes were closed, his hands were folded, like an apostle, with a pious face.

Zhang Fu on the side looked at Bai Mengshan's appearance and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

......

"Is this the so-called Ancient Sword City? "The person who spoke was none other than Qin Ming, who had just come to the city.

After coming to the Ancient Sword City, Qin Ming could be described as disappointed. This can't be blamed on him, this ancient sword city is indeed too shabby.

The rows of buildings in the city, quaint and old, at a glance, it seems that this street has been abandoned for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that there are still many small vendors on both sides of the street, Qin Ming would definitely think that he has come to the wrong place.

Seeing the lost look on Qin Ming's face, Zhuge Qing said loudly: "The existence of Ancient Sword City is too long, no one knows exactly how many years he has existed, and it is not bad that he can still be preserved to this day." ”

"Wouldn't the people of the Ancient Sword Sect let people come to reforge a new city, what do you have to do with this ancient city?" Qin Ming asked suspiciously.

"Leaving such an ancient city can be regarded as a kind of witness. Let the world witness the long years of the existence of the Ancient Sword Sect, as well as the glory that the Ancient Sword Sect once had," Zhuge Qing said with emotion as he glanced at the surrounding buildings.

Qin Ming obviously heard something wrong from Zhuge Qing's tone, and asked, "What was the glory of the past? Isn't the current Ancient Sword Sect brilliant?"

Zhuge Qing shook his head and sighed: "The current Ancient Sword Sect is getting worse and worse than before."

"Why is this?" Qin Ming was very puzzled, he could let a group of people build a city specifically, but the purpose was only to make it more convenient to participate in the enrollment assessment back and forth. Then you can imagine how strong this sect was at the beginning.
