In the second half of the night, Chu Fan lay on the bed, unable to sleep for a long time, staring directly at the roof with a blank gaze, and the cold of the night made the surroundings a little cold.

Holding his hands on his chest, the thoughts in his mind did not stop, and his fingertips were pressing a piece of Buddha jade the size of his thumb, for some reason, when Chu Fan's heart was chaotic, he inadvertently remembered this fast Buddha jade.

Speaking of this jade pendant, I remember that I seemed to have worn it when I was seven or eight years old, and the origin of this jade pendant is also my mother from a dilapidated temple in the town, asking for a monk who has attained Taoism.

Chu Fan, who was not very superstitious at first, now felt a lot of regret in his heart, because a crack had already grown on the jade pendant, and he was afraid that it would lose its effectiveness.

Of course, it was precisely because of this piece of Buddha jade that he and his little sister were saved in the mountains, so under the blessing and misfortune, Chu Fan couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart.

Thinking about the strange phenomenon in the mountain in the evening, as well as the abnormality of the little sister, although I don't know what happened in the middle, the cracks on the Buddha jade are not fake, I am afraid that it is not as simple as imagined.

I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't get a result, and I felt a sense of powerlessness invisibly, there are a lot of things today, and my father's words have been lingering in my heart, thinking about it, I fell asleep unconsciously.

Soon three days passed in a flash, and during this period, Chu Fan would sit outside the house with his father almost every night and talk, so he learned a lot of information about this forging fire gate from his father.

The recruitment of disciples of the Forging Fire Gate this time is a bit special, and it has been pushed forward a lot earlier than in previous years.

It is said that a month ago, there were several vicious fights between the Forging Fire Sect and a sect in Lincheng over a feng shui treasure land, and the disciples in the sect suffered heavy losses for a while.

Therefore, this Forging Fire Gate urgently needs some new disciples to recover their vitality.

If it was according to the previous situation, the Forging Fire Sect would only recruit some disciples with good martial arts qualifications for training, but now it has greatly reduced the conditions for the recruitment of disciples in this sect.

A disciple like Chu Fan, who does not have the slightest foundation for physical training, will naturally be recruited in the door, and the condition is that he needs to pay a price that cannot be paid, such as consuming a forging fire order, or needing others.

In fact, in the Forging Fire Gate, disciples like Chu Fan are recruited every year, and among these disciples, only a few of them have become martial artists, so in terms of potential, most of them are not as good as those disciples who have practiced since childhood.

This must be Chu Fan's father is also very clear, but there are many chores in the Forging Fire Gate, even if he can't become the core force, if he can find an errand to do in the door, it is better than doing nothing in Qingyang Town, maybe this is what Chu Fan's father really thinks in his heart.

Moreover, as long as Chu Fan's second uncle is still in the door, Chu Fan may not have the opportunity to become a martial artist, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will not give up.

At the same time, there are some special regulations regarding the recruitment of disciples, only teenagers under the age of fifteen are recruited, and the gender must be male, and now Chu Fan has just turned thirteen years old, but he is eligible for recruitment.

Time flies, half a month later.

At the intersection of the mountains outside Qingyang Town, two figures stood lonely and in the shade of the trees.

Looking at their faces, it was Chu Fan and his father who had already made a decision.

At this moment, Chu Fan turned his back to the direction of home, full of tears, but there was not a single tear left.

After making a final farewell to the family that accompanied him in the past, he resolutely embarked on the road to Nanshui City with his father.

Qingyang Town was originally a remote town located in the southwest area outside Nanshui City, and the roads leading to the other towns were mostly some rugged mountain roads.

If you want to arrive at Nanshui City early, you must first arrive at the larger Tianshui Town and change to a better section.

My father had already been to Nanshui City once, but this time he took a lot of detours.

Even so, from Qingyang Town to this Nanshui City, it is not a matter of one or two days of effort.

Before going on the road, my father reluctantly sold the blacksmith shop that had long since closed down, and spent fifty taels of silver to buy a carriage to use as a substitute for transportation.

Three days later, on the edge of a smoke pillar outside Nanshui City, after the father and son got off the carriage, they were looking at a row of five or six meters high city walls in front of them with tired faces, and the magnificent city gate was always open, and the four big characters of "Nanshui City North" were printed on it.

Half an hour later, the two of them found an inn near the northern district of Nanshui City, opened a medium-sized guest room, and prepared to rest for the next Forging Fire Gate to recruit disciples.

Chu Fan learned from his father that the entrance election for the Forging Fire Gate would be held in three days, and the recruiting place they were going to this time was Jinwu Hall, one of the three branches in the North District of Nanshui City.

The three days passed in a flash, and Chu Fan set off early with his father early on the morning of the third day and went to Jinwutang.

Since the distance was not very far, the two only walked for half an hour before reaching their destination.

A hundred meters away from Jinwutang, Chu Fan and his father were looking ahead, although it was only early in the morning, the pedestrians around were already in an endless stream, and the streets and alleys were also very lively.

The prosperity of Nanshui City is far better than that of Qingyang Town, and the stay of the previous few days only allowed Chu Fan to travel less than a quarter of the northern district, but most of the rare scenes have already been seen.

At this moment, there are important things in his body, and these interests have long become things outside Chu Fan's heart, and they can't attract his attention more.

In his heart, it was still in Jin Wutang.

Not far ahead, I saw a gray-black gate standing open, surrounded by a gray-white wall four or five meters high on both sides, and a row of spiky iron blocks were erected above the wall, which was extremely dazzling.

In the center behind the wall, there stands a black high-rise tower, which is a little far away, and looks like an ordinary tower.

At this time, at the entrance of the wall, a small number of people were coming in and out from time to time, but there was no corresponding guard guarding the perimeter of the iron gate.

After watching the spot for a while, the two of them made some discoveries, although the number of people at the outer entrance was gradually much more than before, but most of them were some new faces, and the people in them looked tired, obviously looking like they had been in a hurry for several days.

So after such a general analysis, the two concluded that the entrance to the outer perimeter of the wall was free to enter and exit, so they quickly picked up the package and entered it.

After coming inside, Chu Fan couldn't help but gasp, because of the outer wall, he didn't expect that the space inside was extremely vast.

Not to mention the strangely constructed black tower, the huge high platform and wide field on one side of the tower alone struck it.

After calming down a little, Chu Fan couldn't help but ask.

"Father, this is Jin Wutang, right?"

"Well, this Golden Martial Hall is the largest branch hall in the North District of the Forging Fire Gate, and it is not surprising that it has such a large scale. Although Chu Shan on the side was also shocked, he was still a little calm in his words, and after looking around a few times, he spoke again.

"Today's general election is held here, and when the general election begins, we must not talk nonsense in the field, and we must play more with the spirit of starting point. ”

"Yes, I see. Chu Fan's expression was a little tense, he nodded, and returned softly.
