Chapter 10 Recruitment
Until noon, Mu Ming wandered around the city with the little girl, and it was calm and calm, and nothing major happened.
Mu Ming also knows the route in the city, it may be that the security in the city has always been good, there are fewer soldiers patrolling in the city, and they are stationed in the barracks in the southwest and northeast corners, which makes Mu Ming can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and it will be a lot easier when he leaves.
It was already noon, and Mu Ming and the others returned to the inn in advance to eat, and then rushed to the city lord's mansion.
There was a crowd of people in front of the city lord's mansion, and it should be that someone from every household came, among which Mu Ming saw the innkeeper and the pharmacy owner.
Neither of them was short of money, so they handed over some Lingqu, which was insignificant to them, and walked towards the city lord's mansion.
With them were several other middle-aged people who were full of wealth, who should be people with status in the small town.
After the group entered, Rui Tong, the captain who had been held hostage by Mu Ming overnight yesterday, really walked to the front of the crowd as Mu Ming expected, as if nothing had happened, and said loudly:
"Divided into two teams, those who join the army go to the right, and those who hand over the spirit quench go to the left. ”
It seems that this is not the first time that people have participated in such a rally, and they have stood in line very skillfully.
To Mu Ming's surprise, the conditions of the people in the small city seemed to be quite good, and there were only about 20 people standing on the right, including him and Mu Yue.
In fact, Mu Ming didn't know that most of the people who could settle in the city had a certain economic ability, although there were more and more spirit quenching in the city, they could barely afford it, after all, compared with joining the army and becoming cannon fodder, it was too cost-effective to meet the intersection spirit quenching.
Rui Tong was not surprised by this result, he looked at Mu Ming and the two of them more, it was not that he recognized Mu Ming, but Mu Ming and the two of them were not dressed like people who couldn't afford to pay Lingqu.
Immediately, he suddenly went to the order of the Son of Heaven.
Thinking of this, Ruitong's face couldn't help but hang a trace of ridicule.
The Son of Heaven Order was very famous in ancient times, not only as a token of the God Emperor to command the world, but also a powerful artifact in itself.
It's just that somehow later, the Son of Heaven seems to have lost all its power and has been reduced to mortal iron, so its attraction has become worthless.
But legend has it that the Son of Heaven Ling itself has a huge secret, and if you can unlock this secret, you can get the coveted cultivation resources.
Therefore, there are also sons and buddies who come here, but the Son of Heaven order seems to contain some kind of curse.
The city lord takes the Son of Heaven Order as a reward every year, why is it that five years have passed, and the Son of Heaven Order is still in the hands of the city lord?
It's not that the city lord breaks his promise, but the person who got the order of the Son of Heaven, no matter how strong he is and how prominent his family is, not long after he got the order of the Son of Heaven, he died mysteriously, and he can't find out any reason.
Rui Tong couldn't help sneering, he was another unlucky egg.
Basically, by now, the city lord has no longer cared about the reward of the Son of Heaven Order, and the person who should have received the Son of Heaven Order last year directly chose to give up.
Of course, Rui Tong had no obligation to remind Mu Ming, he put away his thoughts, and immediately said:
"The people who joined the army entered the City Lord's Mansion with me. The others pay the spirit quenching in turn. ”
After speaking, he took Mu Ming and his party into the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion is not as simple as it seems from the outside, the courtyard is twisting and twisting, and there are many rockery pavilions, and Mu Ming can see a trace of the taste of formation from it.
Rui Tong told everyone to follow him, and stepped on a winding path, and everyone hurriedly followed.
As soon as they stepped on the trail, everyone suddenly felt that the surrounding rockeries, plants, trees, and pavilions were moving.
In everyone's perception, Rui Tong took them around and around. But Mu Ming knew that they were just walking in a straight line, but the layout here disturbed their perception, and it was a relatively low-level maze.
Finally, Rui Tong led everyone out of the maze.
It is a small courtyard, and there is a ring in the small courtyard, which is damaged and heavy, and looks like it has been in disrepair all year round.
On the side of the ring near the room, there were two rows of people, it was the innkeeper who had come in ahead of time, and in the position of their leader, Mu Ming saw a middle-aged man with a majestic face and no smile.
"The peak of the Dao Palace? may not be enough, it is possible to start quenching the body and set foot in the golden body realm. ”
Mu Ming muttered softly, looking at Xiao Mu Yue on the side, and suddenly felt a little difficult.
With this small oil bottle, it is not easy to get out of a master who is suspected of being in the golden body realm, once he is entangled, he doesn't need to shoot with a golden master, and when the garrisons in the southwest and northeast arrive, he won't even have room to struggle.
It seemed that he noticed Mu Ming's gaze, and the city lord also looked over, looking at each other, and unexpectedly, a stiff smile rose on the city lord's face.
Mu Ming was puzzled, logically speaking, there should be no need for this city lord to show goodwill to himself, the two of them didn't know each other before.
However, the city lord's smile was very faint, and except for the two people involved, no one else noticed it. The city lord glanced at him hurriedly, and then stared at Rui Tong and nodded at him, motioning for him to continue.
Rui Tong saluted the city lord, and said to everyone:
"Next up is the Recruit Competition, and here is a reminder that it is best to show your real skills, because your performance will determine the clan you join. ”
After Rui Tong finished speaking, he stepped aside, and the rules and methods of the competition were not explained.
Fortunately, the more than 20 people who just came in didn't know anything, and one of them immediately jumped directly into the ring and hugged his fist in front of everyone:
"Li Yong. ”
Li Yong didn't treat it for long, and someone jumped into the ring immediately.
"Liu Mazi. ”
After the two of them saw each other, they did not immediately move, but stood in place, mobilized the breath in their bodies, and the momentum also came out of their bodies.
Mu Ming felt the breath on the stage, both of them were in the condensation realm, but Li Yong's qi sea should have nine directions of aura, while Liu Mazi only had eight directions.
The spiritual power can't compare to others, it can only depend on how the combat power is, Liu Mazi took the lead, tightened his fist, and pointed directly at Li Yong's face, and Li Yong didn't seem to see it, so he watched the fist keep approaching.
Finally, when the fist was about to stick to the upper door, Li Yong finally made a move, his head was slightly deviated, and the fist fell into the air, and the only effect was to disturb the messy hair in Li Yong's ears.
The blow did not work, and it seemed to be expected by Liu Mazi, he quickly turned his fist into a palm, and cut Li Yong's neck horizontally with his palm, at the same time, his feet did not stop, his knees shrank slightly, and pushed towards Li Yong's chest.
Li Yong was not in a hurry, his left hand and right hand were used together, the palm knife was blocked, and his sharp knee was also blocked. Between the lightning and flint, he quickly retracted his right hand against his knee and kicked Liu Mazi's knee.
Mu Ming was far away, but he seemed to hear a sound of bone cracking, and then he saw Liu Mazi screaming and falling out of the ring, hugging his knees and howling miserably.
The silence between the rings was incomparable, and Liu Mazi's miserable howl was extremely harsh. The city lord frowned and waved his hand, and Rui Tong immediately understood, and asked the two soldiers to carry him down.
Li Yong won, stood on the edge of the ring and said:
"Brothers, there are no eyes in your fists and feet, if you are not sure, you should not come up. ”
No one wants to admit that they are weaker than others, but with Liu Mazi's past experience, they have to weigh it. The people in the audience suddenly fell silent.
"It's all a bunch of soft eggs, but it's just the Qi Condensation Realm, so you're afraid. ”
Suddenly, a person in the crowd walked out and slowly walked into the ring.
Mu Ming looked at it, at this time, his spiritual power was not revealed, and others didn't know what his strength was, but Mu Ming knew that like Liu Mazi, he condensed qi in all directions, but his qi was not full, and Bafang was obviously not his limit.
Li Yong stared at the young man who had just come to power with some caution, and those who dared to come to power with Liu Mazi's precedent took it for granted that it would definitely be difficult to deal with.
"Please. The teenager does not seem to have any intention of reporting his name.
