'Crackling' matches that have been extinguished in the stove from time to time sparks are sparkling.

Wait for the soup to scoop the meat, and the meal will fall at noon.

Jiang Cang ate and drank to his heart's content, and also said goodbye to the old man with Chu Ang, and walked all the way to the town.

And this distance is really not far, just four or five miles.

Along the way, I listened to Chu Ang gossiping, and it didn't take long to come to the edge of this town with a city gate.

"Did Brother Jiang bring copper?" After Chu Ang came here, he looked at the people coming and going in front of him, and the two guards in front of the door wearing martial arts uniforms asked Jiang Cang: "I'm in too much of a hurry. I forgot to bring copper.."

"Brought it." Jiang Cangchao touched the pocket of his long shirt, avoiding the sight of everyone nearby, and took out two copper coins from the general yuan card, which were similar to the copper plates in ancient times, which were the cost of entering the city this time.

This person has a penny, and it is not expensive.

Usually, ordinary people go to big households to do a job or a short job, and they can buy a pound of pigs, beef and mutton for more than ten yuan a day.

Replaced with rice noodles, you can buy seven or eight catties, this is made into steamed buns, just buy some vegetarian dishes, you can eat enough, hungry people.

Not to mention the big households, there is no need to mention those who have craftsmanship, they usually eat and drink enough, and it is common to have two taels of wine at each meal.

And the money in this world, if you are figuratively speaking, a penny is equivalent to a real dollar.

The conversion ratio is one hundred wen for one tael of silver. a hundred taels of silver, ten taels of gold.

There may be price differences in various places, but the conversion ratio is the same, and it is formulated by the various sects in the Lingwu Continent.

If you go to all the major banks, you can change it like this, and there will be no fluctuations.

But whether there are any big business blacks in private, I don't know.

"Into town." After Jiang Cang thought about the proportion of gold and silver in this world, he handed over a copper plate to Chu Ang, and he still had 'ten thousand gold' in his card, so he was really not short of money.

"Then I'll take advantage of Jiang Cang.." Chu Ang was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and took the money, "My father left me two taels of silver last night, and some broken money, which was placed on the table at the head of the bed in my room. I slept late yesterday, and when I woke up at noon, my dad asked me to cook, and I forgot.."

"Find Shopkeeper Wei first." Jiang Cang saw Chu Ang's explanation, and he also knew that he had really forgotten about his small hair, and he didn't make a special trip to take advantage of this money.

What else do you say, your own guide, you know, this is absolutely believed, and if you talk about it, you will see it outside, not like a long-term friendship.

"Brother Jiang.." Chu Ang also said that he probably wanted to repay the money, and this brother still settled the accounts, so he didn't make a fuss because of a little thing.

"I've been eating your family for years." Jiang Cang walked towards the gate of the town, "This account has to be repaid, and I will pay you back." ”

"This.." Chu Ang was speechless, and he didn't know what to say.

Jiang Cang smiled, and when he passed by the door, while handing over the money to the guards, he swept the two guards with his divine sense, and found that their physiques were '2.4' and '2.7'. ’

It's a good hand.

If the two of them are placed in the Three Kingdoms World, they are both brave soldiers, or the personal guards of the generals, as they approach the battle to kill the enemy, guarding the left and right.

But in this world, it's just an ordinary city gate guard.

And that's just the town. ’

I didn't go to the city, and I didn't go to the guards under the mountain of those sects, because they were just some outer disciples and outgoing disciples in the sect, and because they didn't have enough qualifications, they were sent to work in the town.

It can be regarded as being arranged to work, holding a job, as long as you don't make mistakes, you won't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life.

It can be seen that the sects of this world are still okay, no wonder many people have sharpened their heads and have to squeeze in.

"Shopkeeper Wei's storefront is on South Street.." Chu Ang came to the town, looked at the vendors coming and going, the snack sugar gourd on the street, smelled the aroma in the air, pointed to a cloth shop on the street on the right in the distance, and said to Jiang Cangyan,

"This shop is owned by the shopkeeper Wei. My dad often gave them wooden poles, and he was our old club, and he had a friendship with them for almost 20 years."

Chu Ang said, when it came to the shopkeeper Wei, maybe the shopkeeper Wei was a good person, and he also smiled: "When it comes to the New Year's holiday, the shopkeeper Wei also sent me several new clothes, and the shirt I am wearing today is the one that the shopkeeper Wei gave me last year." ”

"Not bad." Jiang Cang turned his head and glanced at Chu Ang's cyan shirt, it was a good fabric, and with Chu Ang's well-proportioned figure, he looked a little handsome, if it weren't for the fact that his skin was not too white, he really looked like a son.

It's not like the children of the village carpenters.

It's just that his physique is a little ordinary, only '1.2', and he has never practiced martial arts, so he is not as good as the real young master and young sect master in those big businessmen.

"We're going to the Tianyang Sect soon." Chu Ang kept talking, and when he saw the topic talking about his clothes, he also pointed to his clothes and said, "This dress should be okay, it won't be ashamed." It's still new, and I've worn it three times in the past two years, and each time it's washed and neatly put away.."

"Then this time it came in handy." Jiang Cang answered with a smile and walked towards the store.

More than 100 meters, and when I came to this small store, I walked in again.

At the counter of the store, there was an old man who was dialing an abacus and checking the account book, about eighty years old, but he was dressed in a gray robe, and he was full of energy.

And when the shopkeeper Wei saw Jiang Cang and the others coming in, he also pushed it aside, and greeted Chu Ang kindly: "The little nephew is here."

Shopkeeper Wei said, nodded towards Jiang Cang again, and asked, "Is this Brother Jiang?" ”

"Yes!" Chu Ang responded with a smile, walked into the store with a familiar face, said hello to the other two guys, and then said, "Uncle Wei, when are we leaving?" ”

"Prepare the horses." Shopkeeper Wei said to a fellow, closed the account book in his hand, "The matter of the little nephew and the little brother Jiang going to the sect is important, this account is calculated, and the calculation is confused, so it doesn't matter." ”

"Uncle Wei is not short of silver taels!" Chu Ang quipped, "Brother Wei Zhong participated in the opening of the Tianyang Sect thirty years ago and entered the sect early. Every year, the money is enough to buy the uncle's store for several years.."

"Haha!" Shopkeeper Wei laughed, "When the little nephew enters the sect, I will go to find your brother Zhong." He is now in charge of affairs outside the job, so he should be able to make some convenience. ”

When Shopkeeper Wei said this, his face changed to a positive color again, and he said to Chu Ang: "After the test, I entered the sect, and I will stop Brother Zhong in the sect." The Tianyang Sect has strict rules, and it is called according to generations in front of outsiders. ”

"I know, uncle." Chu Ang also nodded solemnly.

When the shopkeeper Wei saw it, he waved his hand to Jiang Cang and asked, and the guy outside the door had already called the horse merchant not far away to prepare a few horses.

Subsequently.

Out of the store and on the horse, Jiang Cang, Chu Ang, and Wei shopkeepers, a fellow, walked towards the north together.

And in the previous in-store conversation.

Although Jiang Cang didn't speak, he heard what the two said, and he also understood why Shopkeeper Wei had a store with a good location.

The feeling is that his child is the 'outer deacon' in the Tianyang Sect, so if he wants to buy a storefront, it is really simple.

Not to mention in the town, even in the city, no one dares to provoke anything.

That's how it seems.

Shopkeeper Wei is quite old, and he can still be so energetic, it is possible that he has also eaten some 'longevity' herbs or pills.

But no matter why.

The journey was a bit far, about a thousand miles away.

The shopkeeper Wei thought that Jiang Cang and the others might be able to pass the test and enter the Tianyang Sect, and then he was in a hurry along the way, so he told Jiang Cang and the others a lot about the deeds of each sect, as well as the past of the Tianyang Sect, and some 'legendary development history. ’

When Jiang Cang heard this, combined with some fragments on the data, he learned that in the 'three hundred years ago', the Tianyang Sect was still a 'medium sect', and perhaps its strength was even lower, and it could be regarded as an 'ordinary sect' among the thousands of sects on the Lingwu Continent. ’

It should be said here that the differentiation of 'sect strength' on the Lingwu Continent is very simple, and within a first-class sect, there are definitely grandmasters and masters.

Within the top sects, there may be great grandmasters.

The rest of the sects that do not have a deep background have no masters in charge, and they are basically medium and ordinary sects, surviving in the cracks.

And the Tianyang Sect's 'previous sect master' three hundred years ago is the 'Innate Dacheng Realm', as the top pillar of the sect, supporting the rise and fall of the Tianyang Sect, plus the sect is not deep, it belongs to the lower middle sect.

However, with a great change, just because of the regional division of one or two Zhuangzi in ten miles, Tianyang Sect made an enmity with another medium sect and fought for territorial rights.

And after the previous sect master learned that there were two innate masters in the enemy faction, he also went out to look for helpers.

It's just that in the middle of the journey, the previous sect master was informed of the itinerary by the two Supreme Elders of the enemy faction, and then he was besieged and killed on the road.

Then.

The news of the death of the previous sect master was transmitted back to the Tianyang Sect, and the words of the enemy faction 'those who descend will not be killed' were brought with it.

The disciples in the sect can be said to be wailing up and down, and the clouds of sorrow are all over the day, and with a sect being forced to die to a dead end, many people have also chosen to rebel in order to save their lives.

But just when the Tianyang Sect was facing the danger of annihilation, the current 'Tianyang Sect Master', like the protagonist in it, returned from traveling and dispelled this catastrophe.

In that war.

The two enemy factions were killed in battle, and they were all wiped out.

Those who had descended from the Tianyang Sect were also abolished and cultivated, and they were sent to the back mountain servants.

And Tianyang Sect Master, what is the strength, not many people know this, and they are all dead.

However, the bloody destruction of the sect that day made the entire Qingzhou 100,000 li, as well as all the major sects on the Lingwu Continent, know that the Tianyang Sect Master took over the position of the previous sect master after this disaster three hundred years ago.

And at that time, the Tianyang Sect Master, they guessed that it was very likely that he was already a grandmaster strength.

After some investigation, there are clues.

They all knew that the Tianyang Sect Master was a closed disciple of the previous Sect Master, who had stepped into the Innate at the age of thirty-two and the Sect Master at the age of fifty-seven.

Then these thirty-two-year-old congenital, fifty-seven-year-old grandmaster, is a genius!

He is a recognized genius on the Lingwu Continent!

Because many young sect masters of the Great Gate Sect have practiced since they were young to adulthood, there is no shortage of medicinal materials, and they are just such qualifications, and they have achieved innateness in about thirty.

But if it weren't for the Tianyang Sect Master having this qualification, he wouldn't be able to defeat the two innate people, let alone after more than three hundred years of journey, conquering most of the Qingzhou with hundreds of thousands of miles of territory, and getting so many resources, making the Tianyang Sect squeeze into the first-class in one fell swoop.

This is completely the rise of a first-class sect!

Of course, this can be said to be the strength of the Tianyang Sect Master alone, and he has obtained such resources with real strength, but it cannot be said to be absolute.

After all, there is no such a large territory to provide talents and resources, and the foundation of the Tianyang Sect is not enough, even if the strength of the Tianyang Sect Master is recognized, but the foundation of the Tianyang Sect is that no one recognizes that it is first-class.

In the final analysis, in addition to the strength of the head of the sect, it is still necessary to look at the sect as a whole.

Or, to put it more precisely, to look at the territory of a sect. ’

The more territory, the more resources, and the more geniuses who can be tapped, this is the future of the sect.

A long-lasting sect wants a 'reserve' and a 'future sect's top pillar. ’

For example, the Tianyang Sect Master, isn't it excavated by the previous Sect Master.

But if the territory of the Tianyang Sect three hundred years ago was smaller, and the current Tianyang Sect was not discovered, perhaps the Tianyang Sect would have been destroyed by the catastrophe three hundred years ago.

It can be seen that the larger the territory, the more chances of finding a genius, because the base is too wide, there will always be a genius in a thousand.

But it doesn't matter.

Many major sects learned of the strength of the Tianyang Sect Master, and they also threw olive branches to him, and secretly helped him with some cultivation resources to help the development of the Tianyang Sect.

Perhaps this is 'investment', which belongs to a higher level of 'equal exchange', and it is believed that the Tianyang Sect Master can step into the Great Grandmaster in the future, and sit on an equal footing with them and complement each other.

Then making a 'potential friend' early is a send-off in the snow, and it is better than the icing on the cake in the future.

Because to be honest, thousands of years have passed, and the sects and territories of the Lingwu Continent have long been determined, and many major sects will not be easily shaken by the rest.

But now, does the deeds of the Tianyang Sect Master belong to the 'Founding Emperor?' It was personally killed, and most of Qingzhou, large and small, were subdued, with more than 1,000 sects and tens of thousands of miles of territory.

Such a character is a real character.

And with the explanation of the shopkeeper Wei, Chu Ang's heart yearned.

The wind was calm and the waves were calm, and it took three days to hurry.

Jiang Cang and the others came to the foot of a mountain outside the Tianyang Sect.

At this time, looking ahead, accompanied by the sound of human voices, there was a sea of people in front of them, or a few people chatting together, or meditating cross-legged in front of the foot of the mountain, and there were more than tens of thousands of people, all of whom came to run for election.

Further behind them, there was a continuous mountain range, and there were dozens of peaks in the mountains, which was the location of the Tianyang Sect, where thousands or tens of thousands of buildings were built at the foot of the mountain and on the peaks, which were the cultivation and residence of the people inside the gate.

And when Jiang Cang and the others dismounted and looked around.

Outside the crowd, a middle-aged man about forty or fifty years old saw Shopkeeper Wei coming, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and brought a dozen or so disciples of the Tianyang Sect who maintained order to the Shopkeeper Wei.

"Daddy." Wei Zhong first glanced at Jiang Cang and the others, then bowed to the shopkeeper Wei and said, "If you don't come again, I'll pick you up."

"What's the concern?" Shopkeeper Wei waved his hand indifferently and let the guy lead the horse, "You only came back last year." I'm bony and strong! ”

The shopkeeper Wei said, approached Wei Zhong again, and whispered: "Jiang Cang, Chu Ang.. It's our friends in the same village, and your Uncle Chu's son, they are all members of their own family, and if you can do it, you can take care of it more."

Shopkeeper Wei finished speaking, glanced at the sea of people in front of him, changed the topic again, and sighed: "There are more people who came this time than when I brought you here thirty years ago."

"There are a lot of people.." Wei Zhong first nodded at Jiang Cang and the others, and then looked at the sea of people in the distance, as if he was proud of the strength of the sect, "In the southeast and northwest, Zhong'er is only on duty in the northern group, and now there are more than 30,000 people who have applied for the election. What's more, he lived near the sect a month ago, so he added his name early and was the first to be examined.

When Wei Zhong said this, he stretched out his hand to the disciple behind him and said, "Register." Ink. ”

"Yes!" The disciples responded, ran to the tables and chairs outside the crowd, and took the list of disciples from the northern group who came to participate in the entrance test, a thick stack, with tens of thousands of dense handwriting, all of whom came to sign up, and participated in the test in the order above.

And Wei Zhong took it, flipped through more than a dozen pages, found a gap, and added the names of Jiang Cang and the others in the middle.
