Chapter 457: Bald Mountain Town
readx;??? When Zuo Feng followed behind Su Yan and came to the bottom of the bare mountain, he could already see the unusualness of this place from a distance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is said to be a small town, but in fact it looks very prosperous. It's a bit like the west area of the city where Zuojia Village first settled in Yancheng.
Although most of the houses are one-story buildings, and only there are two two-story restaurants on the street, the overall appearance is still very lively and bustling. And from a distance, it looked like the houses were all painted in a variety of colors, as if a large canvas had been changed over the town.
Su Yan was very interested in talking at this time, pointing to those colorful roofs and said: "In the Xuanwu Empire, the selection of medicine is more lively than the New Year, because the New Year Festival is held once a year, but the competition for medicine is once every three years. And in other festivals, everyone just eats, drinks and has fun, but when choosing medicine, you can see many young people with good qualifications climbing to a higher position. ”
Zuo Feng, who followed beside Su Yan step by step, frowned, and asked suspiciously: "Doesn't it mean that this competition is a game between those super families, how can I say that those ordinary people also have a chance to rise to the top." ”
Pointing to his head, he smiled mysteriously without makeup: "My young master Shen Feng, use your imagination." ”
After speaking, she jumped towards the entrance of the village like a little girl, and saw that there were many tables and chairs placed at the entrance of the village, and the tables were full of all kinds of exquisite food and fruits. Su Yan unceremoniously grabbed a piece of somen cake, grabbed a fruit at the same time, and walked away without paying for it.
Staring at this kind of behavior without makeup, Zuo Feng immediately fell behind a little in embarrassment. Su Yan didn't look back at Zuo Feng, he turned his head to look at the other table, and said at the same time: "Don't treat me as a thief, my young master Shen Feng, the food here is taken casually." Have you thought of the answer to the question you just asked, if you can't think of it again, your position in my mind will be greatly reduced. ”
Zuo Feng, who was suddenly in his heart, also grabbed a piece of pancake unceremoniously, and stuffed it into his mouth so aggressively, Zuo Feng, whose mouth was stuffed with food, said a little indistinctly: "Without a hint, let me guess out of thin air, you and I can't be a god." ”
He turned his head and glared at Zuo Feng with a small pout, hesitated for a moment, and then said again without makeup: "I can give you some tips, the point is that a medicine competition will be held every three years, as long as you don't get the title of medicine, you can still sign up before the age of thirty." ”
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Zuo Feng ate the pancake in his hand again, and said to himself: "Well, don't say that the food here is really good, on the whole, it is much stronger than Ye Lin in all aspects." It seems that the food in the Land of Chaos has absorbed more cooking skills from Xuanwu's side. Could it be that if the alchemy technique is good, the level of cooking will also rise!"
"Hmph, if you can't guess, just admit it happily, don't talk here, this doesn't fit your usual style. ”
glanced at Zuo Feng fiercely, and when she saw Zuo Feng turn the topic to food, she was very dissatisfied and opened her mouth. Since escaping from the new county town, it seems that today's bare face is particularly better.
At this time, Zuo Feng had already stuffed the remaining pancakes in his hand into his mouth, and muttered vaguely: "Is this a difficult thing to guess, you have already said it so clearly, isn't it equivalent to telling me the answer." ”
Looking at the unrelenting eyes of Su Yan, Zuo Feng sighed helplessly, hammered his hand on his chest twice, and easily swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said slowly: "You have said that you have participated in the competition once every three years, as long as you don't have the title of medicine and you don't have the age of thirty, you can continue to participate, isn't this the answer." ”
Finding that Su Yan was still staring at him, Zuo Feng finally said with some anger: "You and I can't be fools, those who show their talent in the selection will naturally be pulled away by some bigger forces to cultivate." Although some small families have lost talents, they can naturally be compensated accordingly, and at the same time, those who have been pulled away will naturally get better resources, which is equivalent to opening a door for them to be promoted. ”
Zuo Feng has clearly said the true meaning of Saixuan medicine in a few words, although he has a high evaluation of Zuo Feng's wisdom, but Su Yan still likes to see Zuo Feng talking like this. Even she didn't realize that the way she looked at Zuo Feng at this time was very different from before.
After getting along with each other during this time, Su Yan's attitude towards Zuo Feng completely changed unconsciously. Although the two are still noisy on the surface, Su Yan will no longer be really angry because of Zuo Feng's cynicism, and will occasionally stare at Zuo Feng with adoring eyes.
As they spoke, the two of them had already entered the interior of the town, which had only one main street when they entered the village, and although there were side streets on both sides, it was very difficult for ordinary carriages to enter. There is a square in the center of the town, which looks a bit like the martial arts arena in Zuojia Village in the past.
In the center of the square, a newly built platform stands in front of you, and several old men are chatting on the platform about three feet high.
Su Yan raised his hand and pointed to it, and said, "That's the registration place here, remember not to tell them that you are from Ye Lin, just say that the people passing through here want to see it." ”
With a casual wave of his hand, Zuo Feng took a step towards the high platform. Several old men on the high platform immediately noticed a young man wearing a hat walking towards him, and they all looked over at the same time.
For the eyes of the three old men on the high platform, Zuo Feng looked calm, and walked up step by step slowly. When Zuo Feng stepped on the high platform, the three old men also saw clearly that it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man, and it was a little reluctant to say that he was a young man.
The three of them originally saw that Zuo Feng was so young, and with the boatman's dress, they couldn't help but show contempt. But an old man suddenly opened his mouth in shock and said, "In the early stage of bone refining, this person's cultivation is quite acceptable. ”
The one who spoke was an old man with gray hair, who looked to be sixty years old, and although his cultivation was the highest among the three, he had only reached the fifth level of the tempering stage. The other two old men were a little younger than him, only about fifty years old, and their cultivation looked like they were in the second or third level of the tempering stage.
After the white-haired old man reminded them, the two of them also saw Zuo Feng's cultivation clearly, and they were able to reach the bone refining stage at such an age, and the cultivation was indeed good, and the two of them immediately put away their contempt.
The gray-haired old man slowly spoke: "Xiaoyou doesn't know why you're here, we are holding a registration ceremony for the selection of medicine here, if you don't dislike the food below, just take it." ”
The three of them all looked at Zuo Feng with some doubts, because looking at Zuo Feng's age, it really didn't look like he had come to sign up for the competition. Zuo Feng said with a smile: "In Xia Shenfeng, I also planned to participate in this year's competition, but I didn't want to register in advance this time, so I planned to sign up in Guibaodi." ”
The white-haired old man turned his head to look at the two beside him, but they both saw the smile in each other's eyes, and the meaning of mockery was unmistakable. This expression looked very twisted, Zuo Feng frowned slightly, and said again: "What, isn't it?"
The gray-haired old man shook his head with a smile and said, "Xiaoyou may not know, our Balshan Town is also well-known in Linshan County, and it will only be a waste of time for you to sign up for the competition here." I see that you are still young, Xiaoyou, why bother to blow your confidence in order to see it. ”
The words of the white old man sounded like a good intention, but in addition to boasting about their excellent water evaluation in this town, there was only sneer at Zuo Feng. Zuo Feng just smiled indifferently at this and said, "Since your Bald Mountain Town is so good, then I need to come and see it." ”
One of them, an old man in his fifties, snorted coldly and said, "Boy, you don't see that you are very old, why are you so uninteresting. This is the person in charge of the selection of medicine in Bald Mountain Town, and it is better for you to listen to his advice, so as not to be embarrassed in the end. ”
Zuo Feng nodded lightly, but the expression on his face became serious, and continued: "Since I am here, of course I will not leave here, why do I have to participate in the competition, as for whether it is embarrassing, I have to try it to find out." ”
The fifty-year-old man who spoke just now glanced at Zuo Feng, and then turned his head to look at the old man beside him. These two old men around fifty years old, one of them was wearing a dark green robe and cultivating to the third level in the tempering stage, and he was talking to Zuo Feng all the time. The other was wearing an aqua blue robe, and his cultivation was at the second level in the tempering stage.
Whether these two people are cultivated or characterized, Zuo Feng is very unwelcome, but Su Yan said that he can only sign up here, and Zuo Feng can only suppress the anger in his heart and does not attack.
The old man in the second level of the tempering stage was wearing a dark blue robe, and the top of his head was already very sparse, and it was not much different from the bare mountain next to him.
Listening to the old man, he said in a slightly faint voice: "Since you want to sign up, then our registration fee here is ten gold coins, if you are eliminated in the first round, all your gold coins will be confiscated." ”
Zuo Feng frowned slightly, money was not much to him, but the other party had never told him about this rule without makeup. But Zuo Feng did not hesitate, and reached into his arms and was ready to pay for it. Seeing that Zuo Feng was ready to pay without hesitation, the three old men couldn't help but subconsciously widen their eyes.
"Wait, you Bald Mountain Town, how can there be such rules. The empire selects medicine every year, and the more you participate in the low-grade competition, the lower the registration fee. If you sign up in a town like yours, you can only use ten copper coins at most, how can you use so many ten gold coins. ”
As the words fell, a pretty figure had already appeared on the high platform, and it was the plain face who had come here with Zuo Feng all the way.
