Chapter 216: Hope for the Mud-Legged Man
In the morning, the sun was shining, the blue sky was cloudless, and the martial arts arena temporarily set up outside the gate of the Swallowing Heaven Gate was already crowded with people, and tens of thousands of disciples of the Swallowing Heaven Gate were wearing the costumes of the inner and outer disciples of the Swallowing Heaven Gate, and stood in the competition arena in an orderly manner under the excited and envious eyes of many ordinary people in the Shenwu Empire.
Today is a big day for the Swallowing Heaven Gate, and for the ordinary people of the Shenwu Empire, it is a good day for them to be excited, in the dense sea of people, a middle-aged man with a wrinkled face, saw a young man standing in the queue, his face showed a proud expression, pointed his finger to the young man, and proudly introduced to the middle-aged man he had just met next to him: "Brother Chen Wengui! Did you see it, the one wearing the yellow clothes is my youngest son, who is now a third-grade spiritual cultivator, if he can successfully pass the inner gate Dabi this time, he will officially become a disciple of the inner gate of the Swallowing Heaven Gate. ”
The middle-aged man who was called Chen Wengui heard the introduction of the middle-aged man next to him, looked in the direction of the middle-aged man's finger, and saw a young man who looked a little similar to the middle-aged man next to him, standing motionless in the center of the queue.
However, when Chen Wengui thought of his child, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he pointed to the black-clothed queue, and proudly introduced: "Brother Liu Junxiang! Look at the third row of black-clothed over there, the penultimate teenager, that is my son, because of his excellent qualifications, he directly became a disciple of the inner sect of the Swallowing Heaven Gate when he was selected, and he sent a letter back not long ago to say that he was already a six-rank spiritual master!"
When Liu Junxiang heard Chen Wengui introduce his child, he immediately felt ashamed of himself, but this thought only flashed in his heart. Then he smiled and said to Chen Wengui: "Brother Chen Wengui! My boy's name is Liu Dongsheng! If you have the opportunity to meet your child, let your child take care of my child more in the future." ”
"Brother Liu Junxiang, look at what you say. Everyone is from a bitter background, and they should support each other. Chen Wengui heard Liu Junxiang's words. Immediately politely clenched his fists and replied with a smile.
When Liu Junxiang heard Chen Wengui mention Kuhaha, he immediately remembered the changes in their family in the past six months, and said with a grateful face: "Brother Chen Wengui! If I have the opportunity to meet my kid today, I must tell him to cultivate seriously, listen to Wu Gongzi's instructions, and glorify his ancestors in the future. ”
When Chen Wengui heard Liu Junxiang's words, his face also showed gratitude, and he said with emotion: "Brother Liu Junxiang! You are right, I have always hoped that my children will be able to get ahead one day in the future, but because the cultivation method is in the hands of those families, this hope has become a desire and cannot be sought. ”
"Because of poverty. I wanted to tell my eldest family about a family matter, but the other party disliked our family for being too poor, until Wu Gongzi established the Swallowing Heaven Gate, and the second child of my family was fortunate to become the inner disciple of the Swallowing Heaven Gate. The monthly allowance issued by the Swallowing Heaven Gate every month has made our family live an unprecedentedly good life, and now even those big men in our county. When they see me, they are all respectful, and those who come to my house to ask for marriage almost have broken the threshold of my house. ”
"This big brother, is what you said true? In addition to teaching our children the cultivation method, the Heaven Swallowing Gate is not only teaching. Do you still pay a monthly certificate every month?" Just as Chen Wengui's words fell, an inappropriate voice suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two.
An unfamiliar voice was heard behind him. The two subconsciously turned their heads to look behind them, and saw a middle-aged man in old clothes with three children, looking at them with a smile on his face, Chen Wengui immediately asked suspiciously: "This big brother, were you asking me just now?"
When the middle-aged man heard Chen Wengui's inquiry, an embarrassed smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: "Two big brothers! Just now I heard the conversation between the two big brothers, so I asked about it, and I am really embarrassed to disturb the two big brothers." ”
"This brother, if I'm not mistaken, you should be someone from the Hidden Dragon Empire who has just joined our Shenwu Empire! Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked such a lonely question. Liu Junxiang heard the middle-aged man's explanation, and then looked at the other party's clothes, faintly guessed the identity of the other party, and asked with a smile.
When the middle-aged man heard Liu Junxiang's inquiry, he smiled embarrassedly and replied: "This eldest brother is really sharp-eyed, I am a hidden dragon, I am from Kaecheng County, and when I learned that the Swallowing Heaven Gate began to recruit disciples, I took my three children to try my luck. ”
"I know, otherwise why would you ask this question, as long as the child joins the Swallowing Heaven Gate, the Swallowing Heaven Gate will distribute monthly orders every month, and if my child joins the Inner Gate at the beginning, there will be ten gold coins every month, and the children of the Chen Wengui brothers are disciples of the Outer Gate, so there are two gold coins every month. ”
"I heard that your Hidden Dragon Empire's taxes are as high as seventy percent, plus natural disasters, many people have starved to death this year, and there are countless people who sell their sons and daughters, and I don't know what blessings you have accumulated in your previous life, Wu Gongzi actually helped you overthrow that tyrant, and let you join our Shenwu Empire, so you don't have to worry about suffering and starving in the future. ”
"If one of your three children passes the assessment of the Heaven-Swallowing Gate, your whole family will no longer have to worry. Knowing that the other party was a citizen of the Qianlong Empire who had just joined the Shenwu Empire, Chen Wengui's face unconsciously showed a look of pride, and he said to the middle-aged man with a smile.
Although Wu Hanqi had announced the benefits of joining the Shenwu Empire at the public trial meeting, and fulfilled the promise of the third layer of taxation, but the rest of the promises were still skeptical, and now hearing Chen Wengui's introduction, the middle-aged man's high heart finally let go, and excitedly told the three children beside him: "Eldest sister, second brother, third brother! Have you heard what this uncle said just now? When the assessment begins, you must take the test well, as long as you are selected by the Heaven Swallowing Gate, our whole family will not have to starve in the future." ”
"You don't have to do this at all, the selection method of the Heaven Swallowing Gate is different from that of those schools, when the time comes, they will arrange for your children to put their hands on the pillars, and they will know if they can pass it at a glance. Seeing the worried look on the middle-aged man's face, Chen Wengui decided to be a good person to the end, and told the other party the way the Heaven Swallowing Gate selected disciples.
When the middle-aged man heard Chen Wengui's words, a look of extreme shock appeared on his face, he couldn't imagine that the desirable Heaven Swallowing Gate selection disciples, just by holding the pillar, he could determine whether he passed the selection or not, so he couldn't help but say to himself: "This Heaven Swallowing Gate is really extraordinary, even the selection of a disciple is unique." ”
"It's not unique, but it's about being able to measure the child's roots, and it's related to whether the child is able to cultivate. Liu Junxiang heard the middle-aged man's answer and told the reason for the test, but what he knew was only scratching the surface, so the introduction was still a little vague.
"It's a spiritual root! Everyone has a spiritual root, it's just good or bad, the better the spiritual root, the faster the cultivation speed, and the higher the grade, the reason why that kid in my family was directly admitted to the inner door in the first place was because he was a high-grade spiritual root, on the contrary, if it was an inferior spiritual root, even if he was taught the method of cultivation, it would be impossible to cultivate. Chen Wengui saw that Liu Junxiang's introduction was very vague, so he introduced what he had learned to the middle-aged man.
"So that's what happened!" The middle-aged man heard Chen Wengui's introduction, and then he understood what was going on, and hurriedly clasped his palms together, praying there with a reverent face: "God bless! Bless my three children are all high-grade spiritual roots, so that they can join the inner gate of the Heaven Swallowing Gate, and our whole family will not have to starve anymore in the future." ”
Seeing the worried look of the middle-aged man, Chen Wengui said with a smile: "This brother, seeing that your three children are quite spiritual, they must not be inferior spiritual roots, as long as the three children are all entered by the Heaven Swallowing Gate, you will wait to live a good life in the future!"
When the middle-aged man heard Chen Wengui's words, he hurriedly clasped his fists with both hands and thanked him gratefully: "Thank you for the good words of the eldest brother, the help of the two eldest brothers today is unforgettable! If the three children are really like what the two eldest brothers said, they must thank the two eldest brothers well." ”
The same situation was constantly staged in the crowd, many people who had just joined the Shenwu Empire, rushed to the Swallowing Heaven Gate with their children, and when they saw the situation in front of them and the discussions of the surrounding people, they couldn't help but ask those people about the Swallowing Heaven Gate, and as a result, when they learned that everything was really like the promise made by Wu Hanqi at the beginning, those people couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.
"This little fat man is really extraordinary, he casually set up a small sect, and let him gather the hearts of so many untouchables, if the aura of this god abandoning the continent is strong enough, this little fat man has enough mental methods and spiritual skills, give him enough time, this Heaven Swallowing Gate will definitely become a powerful sect like our Holy Gate. On a hill not far from the Swallowing Heaven Gate, a monk saw the scene that happened in front of the mountain gate of the Swallowing Heaven Gate, and a look of admiration appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself.
Another monk on the side, hearing his companion's words, immediately retorted: "Senior brother, this little fat man is certainly a little capable, but unfortunately his ability will eventually come to this, and when the elders make a move, this Heaven Devouring Gate is destined to be destroyed." ”
Senior Brother heard his junior brother's rebuttal, although he also thought so in his heart, but he didn't know why, there was always a feeling of unsteadiness in his heart, but he didn't say this premonition, but said to his junior brother: "Senior brother, let's go back and report the situation here to the two Supreme Elders, and let the two Supreme Elders make a specific decision."
