Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Longhua City, the smallest city in the Thunder Kingdom, is also the city with the least number of people, within a hundred miles around, it is all deserted land, and it is almost impossible to see outsiders coming here on weekdays.
But it is strange to say, some time ago, dozens of young people with long swords on their backs and dressed in green clothes suddenly came here, and the city that was deserted on weekdays was also lively, and what was even more surprising was that the city lord who was nicknamed "Iron Rooster" by the people actually held a feast in the city and feasted the people of the city.
It is now the end of autumn, the original luxuriant branches and leaves in the city have withered, with the autumn wind and the afterglow of the sunset, a few dead leaves slowly fall from the air, a young hand, from the air to take the dead leaves, small mouth, seems to be a little unhappy.
The child's face is delicate, and he is dressed in blue and white clothes, which shows that he is particularly energetic, and it seems that he should be a boy in his teens, waiting for someone.
At this time, a sound came out of the courtyard gate behind the boy, and the boy who was standing there in a daze hurriedly turned around, and when he saw a thin figure appear, an innocent smile appeared on the boy's face.
And that thin figure, looking closely, is also a teenage boy.
"Xiao Ming, why are you so slow, hurry up, otherwise you will miss a lot of delicious food" When he saw that the person he was waiting for appeared, the teenage boy jumped a few times and came to the boy known as Xiao Ming, took his hand, and was about to run out.
"Ning Sin, don't worry, go slowly" Seeing the boy known as Ning Sin, seeing him, he pulled and ran to the center of the city, the boy hurriedly said, but Ning Sin seemed to be inaudible, and still ran with small steps holding the other party's hand.
"Alas, do you know who those people are? The city lord is so magnanimous, but it's rare" After running for a distance, Ning Sin was also a little tired, let go of his hand and stopped to take two breaths, and asked Xiao Ming beside him.
"They are from the Immortal Cultivation Sect in our Thunder Country!" Seeing that Ning Sin didn't know what the identities of the few young men with long swords on their backs who came a few days ago, Xiao Ming straightened his waist and said proudly.
"Immortal Cultivation Sect?" Xiao Ming's words made Ning Sin a little shocked, he had heard of this Immortal Cultivation Sect for the first time in ten years.
"Yes, what about the Immortal Cultivation Sect, even those who can fly around in the sky, they are all powerful, and my father has already registered me, they have some tests tonight, and those who pass will be able to follow them to learn the spell of cultivating immortals."
As he spoke, Xiao Ming's hands kept waving there, feeling as if he had learned a spell.
"By the way, Ning Sin, did your father sign you up? Our city is small, they have only come once in more than ten years of cultivating immortals, my father said that this is an opportunity, maybe they will be able to soar in the future" Seeing that Ning Sin was silent thoughtfully, Xiao Ming asked Ning Sin.
"Oh, my dad shouldn't let me go" Xiao Ming's inquiry made the thoughtful Ning Sin sober up, and replied to Xiao Ming with some loss.
"Oh, your father is so good to you, he never beats you, you tell him well, you should agree" Ning Sin looked a little lost, Xiao Ming naturally saw it, and then patted Ning Sin's shoulder with his little hand and comforted him, while the two walked towards the place of the banquet again.
Ning Sin knew that his father knew kung fu since he was a child, but every time he wanted to learn, his father would get angry, although he never beat him since he was a child, but he didn't want to see his father angry, so since then, he hasn't mentioned these things again.
The place of the banquet is particularly lively, almost all the people in the city are here; first, the name of this iron rooster is too loud, how enjoyable it is to eat him once; second, the family members of some children want their children to be qualified to cultivate immortals, and there is a person in the family who can cultivate immortals, what a thing to be proud of.
The banquet of the city lord has already begun, and it seems that it has become a paradise for children, and some children can be seen scurrying between the dining tables everywhere, and the dishes on the table are not the favorite of these children, but the pastries placed around them are their love.
"Eat, eat, don't choke" A faint voice with resentment came from the mouth of an obese middle-aged man, who was gorgeously dressed and had dazzling gems on his fingers, making his status extraordinarily noble.
Although the voice of "cough" was weak, in the ears of the immortal cultivators around him, it was heard very clearly, and suddenly the dozen or so young people around him gathered face to face, a little puzzled, and then a light cough sound came out next to the fat man, only to see a noblewoman dressed in a gorgeous cost, and quickly poked the fat man with her elbow.
"Eh, it's not about you, it's not about you, you see that these Diao people are all here to eat bankruptcy for the lord of this city" Noticing that his words were a little inappropriate, the fat man wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly explained to the surrounding immortal cultivators.
"Don't blame everyone, the city lord is also afraid that the people will be overwhelmed, and it will not be good for the body" The gorgeous lady heard the words of the fat man, stabbed the other party again, and stood up charmingly and explained again.
"Yes, yes, I'm afraid of eating, I'm afraid of eating, all young talents, you hurry up and eat, it's not enough" Seeing that he even said the wrong thing, the city lord himself quickly stood up and said politely.
These immortal cultivators are not something that he can offend as a city lord, if he really provokes the other party, even if he kills him, no one will pursue the matter, he is naturally extremely afraid.
"No need, we are already full, and if we eat again, I'm afraid the city lord will also scold us together" The young man in Tsing Yi who was sitting next to the city lord glanced coldly at the city lord beside him, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and the young men in Tsing Yi around him saw him put down the chopsticks, and they all put the chopsticks on the dining table.
"How could it be, how dare I," the city lord quickly explained while wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"City Lord, inform the people, let's start" Before the city lord could finish speaking, the young man in Tsing Yi stretched out his hand to interrupt the city lord's words and ordered.
"Yes, yes, let's start now" Seeing that the other party was no longer pursuing it, the city lord himself didn't dare to say any more, so he quickly nodded and walked towards the high platform.
The whole city was almost in the darkness of the moonlight, and the place of feasting in the middle of the city was brightly lit, and in the rest of the city, only the candles in one courtyard were lit.
"Ten years ago, I withdrew from the immortal cultivation world, and the only hope in this life is to raise him as an adult, I hope you can forgive me for the mistakes I made back then."
In the candle-lit courtyard, in a closed house, a few words of repentance came from the house.
The layout of the house is very simple, an altar, two tablets, the black lacquer of the tablets is also a little peeling, it looks like it has been some years, in front of the tablets, there is an incense burner, three incense sticks with a fire are burning, and the smell of incense wafts throughout the house.
In front of the incense burner, a man dressed in simple gray clothes, although the man looked middle-aged, the beard on his chin was very long, obviously much older than his actual age, and he was kneeling there, his mouth kept saying something, and if he looked closely, he was a little similar to Ning Tao back then.
"It's been ten years, I also went back, I wanted to collect your body, but I found that your body was gone, presumably, someone helped you, the child is very good, I don't dare to let him use your surname, I hope you can understand"
"His name is Ning Sin, this name also makes me always wary of myself, I can't forget the sins I committed back then, I didn't teach him the art of cultivating immortals, but also for, if he knows the revenge of the year, don't take revenge, protect yourself, and be an ordinary person for a lifetime, just do it"
The original noisy banquet place, when the fat city lord stood on the high platform, the noisy words of the people below gradually disappeared, except for the children who were still eating pastries, the eyes of the adults were on the fat city lord on the high platform.
"Ahem, everyone, be quiet and quiet" The fat city lord looked at the already quiet scene, coughed, and said without embarrassment, and then touched his full belly and licked his mouth, "The Immortal Cultivation Sect has sent a few great immortals to my Longhua City, and many people know that this selection, more than ten years, can have such a time, those who have registered under the age of fifteen, according to the serial number, prepare for the test"
As soon as the fat city lord's words fell, all kinds of noises sounded below again.
"Look at my son, his bones are amazing, he must be a great cultivator"
"My son too, you see, he has a lot of spirit, I heard that what he wants to cultivate immortals is spirit"
The children who were eating pastries on the side were also pulled by their respective parents at this time, Xiao Ming was also one of them, and the parents who had already come here took Xiao Ming's hand and walked excitedly towards the high platform.
Dozens of young men dressed in green clothes and carrying long swords, looking at these children, their faces that were originally cold because of the fat city lord also warmed up a lot, and one of them held a transparent crystal stone in his hand and stood separately on the high platform.
When a child touches these crystals, if there is no luster, the body is not suitable for cultivation, on the contrary, it is a body suitable for cultivation, of course, the brighter the luster, the more suitable for cultivation.
"Senior brother, will it be the same as last time, there is no one" At this time, a young man said beside the young man who had just spoken to the fat city lord.
"Do your own thing seriously, even if you don't have it, you have to finish it all" The young man's words made the young man known as the senior brother frown slightly, he also remembered that when they came here, fifty-six children, none of them could make the crystal bright, although so, but looking at the excited family members of those children, he also hoped that this time there were one or two who could make the crystal bright.
"Your child, it's not suitable for cultivation" The first woman to take the child to the high platform, after the child touched the crystal, the young man saw that there was no luster, and said to the woman with some regret.
"Is there something wrong with this thing? You see how energetic my child is," the woman was naturally unwilling to hear the young man's words, and hurriedly pointed to the transparent crystal, and she was the same woman who had just praised her child in the audience.
"Alas, alas, you Diao Min, hurry up, if you don't have children, you don't have children, you dare to say this, immortals, are you looking for a fight" Seeing that the woman seemed to be a little entangled, the fat city lord standing on the side hurriedly stepped forward to behave.
Seeing this, the women naturally didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly walked to the stage with their children.
