Chapter 64: Xujia Town
The vast sea of clouds is static, solidified, and white in color, like an ancient wasteland, which makes people feel terrifying.
On the avenue, there are sporadic passers-by, everyone is running for their own things, and He Yiming is undoubtedly one of them.
However, at this moment, He Yiming was walking on the road, even if he met someone who was very familiar with him, he didn't dare to recognize him.
Fourteen-year-old He Yiming has developed a very good physique due to his long-term martial arts practice, but he is not the kind of person who is born with extra-large bones, so compared to ordinary adults, his body is still thinner.
However, with the help of the bone transformation technique, He Yiming's body was forcibly raised.
Not only that, but he also disguised his face, looking like a down-and-out man in his thirties. As long as he stood still and didn't speak, then even if He Quanming and Lin Wenyu sat face to face with him, it would be impossible to see the flaws.
Of course, He Yiming also knows that limited by experience, he may not be able to dress up a down-and-out man vividly. But this is just an attempt by him, and when he becomes more experienced in the future, he will naturally look like him. And here, no one will pay special attention to him.
Looking up at the thick, seemingly endless white clouds in the sky, He Yiming slowed down a little. This time, due to some ulterior motive, he did not ride a horse, but walked completely on his legs.
With his strength, it is naturally impossible to feel tired, but walking alone, he inevitably feels a little lonely.
After all, it was the first time he had left home alone.
His ears twitched slightly, and from behind him there was a faint sound of horses' hooves. His heart moved slightly, this avenue is very famous in Taicang County, because this is the only road leading to Xujiabao, and those who have the courage to gallop on this avenue are estimated to have something to do with Xujiabao.
He leaned a little to the side, walked silently, and only pretended to look blankly when the sound of the horse's hooves grew louder and came to his back.
When he saw the passengers on the horse clearly, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, this person turned out to be Xu Yucai, who had been shocked by his palm.
At a quick glance, the leader of the three generations of the Xu family seemed to have a trace of melancholy on his face, as if he had a very heavy mind. Riding his horse galloped past him, without even turning the corner of his eye.
He Yiming secretly wondered in his heart, groaned for a while, quickened his pace a little, and hurried forward.
When the sun was slanting westward, he had already arrived in the town before Xujiabao.
Xujiabao is located in a mountain col surrounded by mountains on two sides and surrounded by water on one side. After more than a hundred years of hardship, the predecessors of the Xu family finally built a huge castle covering an area of hundreds of acres in this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack environment.
In addition to the children of the Xu family, there are many diners recruited from other places, as well as many servants and subordinates who can live in the castle. Over the years, with the increase in the number of people, a few miles before Xujiabao, a small town that completely depends on Xujiabao for survival has gradually formed.
The number of people in the town is not too much, but only hundreds, but the residents inside are more or less connected to Xujiabao.
After He Yiming came to the town, he easily found the only inn in the town.
The size of this inn is not small, and it is already huge for a small town with only a few hundred people. However, the people who really came to live here were not the residents of the town, but the guests who came and went to Xujiabao.
When He Yiming walked into this inn, he immediately felt that at least three pairs of eyes stayed on his body for a moment.
Maybe it was because there were so many people like him, so after a while, these eyes disappeared suddenly.
He Yiming secretly said in his heart, father, what they said is right, there must be the shadow of Xujiabao behind this inn, and all the people who live in this inn will definitely be inspected by their secret sentinels.
Xiao Er greeted him with a smile on his face, He Yiming groaned for a moment, asked for a single room, and asked for some wine and food.
The little two was obviously stunned, but then changed to a smile. But at this moment, He Yiming found that the gaze that had been withdrawn just now had turned to it again.
He was also a smart man, and he immediately understood why.
At the moment, he is dressed as a down-and-out passerby, how can such a person choose to live in a single guest room,
He smiled bitterly in his heart, in fact, he shouldn't have entered this inn at all, or even this town at all.
However, since he has already entered, leaving immediately is even more suspicious.
He cleaned up his mood and followed Xiao Er into the single room. A moment later, the junior came up with some simple food and drink.
Just as he wanted to leave, He Yiming stopped him and said, "Little Er, there is Xujiabao in front." β
The little second man bent down and lowered his hand, smiled on his face, and said, "Yes, uncle, a few miles ahead, it is the famous Xujiabao in our Taicang County." β
He Yiming touched his chin, he came out this time, and he had a circle of beard slag on his chin, looking like he was in his thirties. Look at this little two, he is probably only sixteen or seventeen years old, and it is not an exaggeration to call him an uncle.
"Xiao Er, I heard that Xujiabao is one of the three major families in Taicang County, I don't know what standard they recruit diners?" He Yiming asked casually.
He had already made up his mind before coming here, if there was no one to interrogate, it would naturally be the best, but if someone interrogated, then he would temporarily take refuge in the Xu family as a diner.
Anyway, he will stay here for a month at most, and he will have to withdraw whether he succeeds or not, as for whether the Xu family can find him again after he leaves, it has nothing to do with him.
The smile on Xiao Er's face remained unchanged, but his demeanor became more and more respectful: "Uncle, Xujiabao is indeed one of the three major families in our county, and their standards for recruiting diners are not high, it is said that as long as the internal strength has reached more than three levels, they can become the diners of the Xu family." If the internal strength can reach the fifth layer, then you are eligible to enter the inner fort and learn the combat techniques of Xujiabao. β
He said this very quickly, and it was clear that he had said it many times.
He Yiming nodded with satisfaction, threw a few copper plates over, and waved his hand. The little second immediately smiled, thanked him again and again, and left the room with a half-bow.
After leaving the room, the smile on the face of the little second suddenly disappeared, and he walked down and entered the inner room in the back.
There was an old man in his fifties, who was holding a dry tobacco and spitting out fog, when he saw Xiao Er coming in, he asked casually, "How is it?" β
"I've already inquired, that person should be from another county and wants to be a diner in the fort. Xiao Er said respectfully, at this moment, there was a strong smell on his body, which was very different from the kind of shop Xiao Er who had a smile on his face and specialized in serving people just now.
"Hmph, it's not so simple to become a diner in our Xujiabao. The old man spat out a puff of smoke rings, changed his words, and said, "Look at this person's internal strength." β
Xiao Er said respectfully: "According to what the disciple has seen, this person's internal strength cultivation should be between the third and fifth floors, and as a diner in the castle, it is definitely more than enough." β
The old man nodded with satisfaction and said: "You are right, I see that the person is also wandering here, it is estimated that he will go to the fort tomorrow to beg for food, you go to the fort to spread a message, if this person is really capable, then ask the origin clearly, and use it." β
"Yes. β
The old man took a puff of his cigarette and asked abruptly, "How long have you been here?" β
"It's been a year since the disciple came here. β
"Well, a year is not too short, and your eyesight has been trained, so when you turn around, go back to the fort. β
"Yes, thank you Uncle Seven. Xiao Er looked up in surprise and said gratefully.
The old man lightly knocked on the cigarette stick and said, "As a disciple with a foreign surname, after you return to the castle, you must cultivate well, if you can be promoted to the sixth level of internal strength cultivation before the age of thirty." Naturally, it will be absorbed by the family and become the elite of the family, if it can't be done, then it will come out, and the various industries in the family also need to be supplemented by young blood. In short, as long as you don't betray the family, the family will definitely give you a background. β
The expression on Xiao Er's face became more and more respectful, and there was even a faint flush caused by excitement on his face.
The old man waved his hand slightly, and Xiao Er retreated.
Ten feet away from them, He Yiming's eyes slowly opened, his brows furrowed slightly, and he guessed the identities of these two people in his heart.
If the old man and the junior knew that there was a master in the store who had reached the peak of the tenth layer to stay overnight, then they would not dare to discuss it unscrupulously. However, no matter how they observed, they would never have imagined that that a down-and-out man who was a little generous would be such a top master.
However, although He Yiming heard their conversation, the Xu family is different from the He family after all, this is a family that has been inherited for more than a hundred years, and the complexity of the personnel in it is not something He Yiming can know everything.
For example, the seventh master who sat in the inn, he had never heard of it. But this person's internal strength has the realm of the eighth layer, and he can be regarded as the number one person in any case.
Although in terms of peak combat power, the Xu and Cheng families are indeed inferior to the He family, but the heritage of the century-old inheritance is indeed extraordinary, at least in the hands of the eighth layer, the He family is far from being comparable to these two families.
He Yiming sighed in his heart, maybe after a hundred years, the He family can truly become one of the three major families in Taicang County.
A thought suddenly flashed in his heart, he was able to distinguish the level of the old man's internal strength cultivation, which seemed to be another unlikely thing.
He secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, he really didn't know how much potential in his body had not yet been explored, and he didn't know if it would bring him more surprises in the future.
As soon as he turned his gaze and saw that it was getting late, he turned off the lights and fell asleep.
