Chapter 140: The Shock of Sword City
"How could he, a peak martial artist, break in, be trapped in the seventh small formation, and finally be rescued by his father. ”
Xiao Chen was completely interested, and hurriedly asked, "Then what happened later?" ”
Later, the boss was also a little confused, and said: "I just heard about the later things, Leng Tianyue seems to have made some mistakes, his father wanted to confine him up, but he himself abolished his cultivation and took the initiative to be imprisoned in the sword prison of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion. ”
Hearing this news, Xiao Chenxin breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't know why Leng Tianyue wanted to put himself in the knife prison, but it was good not to meet him.
Holding the Moon Shadow Knife, Xiao Chen walked directly towards the Sword City, and after a while, he came to the gate of the city and began to pay the entry tax, and the way to pay the entry tax here also surprised Xiao Chen.
The amount of tax is actually determined by the weight of the sword held by the warrior, no matter how many knives you have, no matter what quality you have, how heavy they are, how much you pay.
"The blade weighs eighty-five catties, and the scabbard is seventy catties, adding up to one hundred and fifty-five catties, and the little brother you have to pay one thousand one hundred and fifty-five taels of silver to enter the city. The two warriors guarding the door took Xiao Chen's Moon Shadow Knife off the scale and said to Xiao Chen with a smile.
Xiao Chen sweated profusely in his heart, this is really not an ordinary expensive, he saw a brother with a long knife on his back, he was even more depressed, and was directly charged 10,000 taels of silver.
However, the money that should be paid still has to be paid, and Xiao Chen has no choice, after paying the money. The man guarding the door asked Xiao Chen a few questions, and recorded his place of origin, name, and age.
handed Xiao Chen a form and said: "Go to the side to apply for an identity card, and in the future, you don't need to enter and exit the knife city with the identity card, and pay the city tax again." ”
Xiao Chen smiled lightly: "Fortunately, it is not charged every time, otherwise how many family properties will be deducted." ”
The handling of the identity card is relatively simple, after handing in the form, after waiting for half an hour, the other party sent a wooden card, engraved with Xiao Chen's information on the front, and a long knife and a mountain peak engraved on the back.
Tie the wooden card around his waist, Xiao Chen finally entered this world-famous sword city, and the streets in the city were densely packed with warriors with knives.
You can see a ring every few hundred meters, and each ring is crowded with people, which is very lively. On the Tianwu Continent, the wind of good martial arts has been brought into full play.
Except for the fact that there are many swordsmen and rings, there is not much difference between Sword City and other cities.
After Xiao Chen inquired about the location of the City Lord's Mansion, he walked quickly towards the City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord of the Sword City is directly appointed by the Heavenly Sword Pavilion to manage the outer gate of the entire Heavenly Sword Pavilion, and the city lord's status among the sects is second only to those peak masters, and he also has a seat in the Council of Elders.
In front of the door of the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Chen handed over the letter of recommendation given to him by Feng Feixue to the guard in front of the door. On the red letter of recommendation, there is the seal and family emblem of the Feng family, as well as Feng Feixue's autograph.
The guard had a good eye, and quickly identified the authenticity of the recommendation letter, and asked Xiao Chen to wait for a while, and he went to report it first.
It didn't take long for the man to run over quickly, and said with an apologetic smile: "Brother, the city lord is meeting with distinguished guests, you may have to wait a little longer, let's go into the side hall with me to rest first!"
The attitude of the City Lord's Mansion was very modest, Xiao Chen didn't feel that he was an important person, he smiled faintly, followed this person with a relaxed expression, and entered the City Lord's Mansion.
After passing through several courtyards and gardens, Xiao Chen was taken to the side hall, and the guard immediately said goodbye and left Xiao Chen here alone, and waited directly for a long time.
In the living room of the City Lord's Mansion, Ge Yunbin, the City Lord of Sword City, sat on a wooden chair, and an old man sat next to a tea table, looking at Xiao Chen's letter of recommendation with a somewhat unhappy expression.
Behind the two of them, stood a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, carrying a long knife, with a gloomy face, and a trace of anger in his eyes from time to time.
The old man put the letter of recommendation on the table, looked at Ge Yunbin, and said in a deep voice: "I said Lao Ge, I had already agreed with you a week ago, why did I change my hexagram temporarily." ”
Ge Yunbin smiled faintly: "Old Zhang, don't embarrass me, you don't look at who gave the recommendation letter, there is Miss Feng's autograph on it, Miss Feng's face is not good, don't give it!"
"The Heavenly Sword Pavilion and the Feng family have cooperated for hundreds of years, and the raw materials for those soul soldiers and battle armors inside and outside the city are all provided by them, and the most important thing is that the spirit stones produced by the Heavenly Sword Pavilion have always been dealt with by them. ”
"The Feng family has the right to recommend people to come over, it's not me who said it, it was the former pavilion master who said it himself, and the old man also owes Miss Feng a favor, and he just returned it to her this time. ”
When Zhang Lao heard this, he turned his palm and took out a jade bottle, opened the cap gently, and a rich medicinal fragrance instantly diffused out, smelling refreshing and refreshing.
Ge Yunbin's face changed slightly, and he asked, "Elder Zhang, is this the Immortal Cloud Life Extension Pill?"
Zhang Lao's face showed a hint of pride, and he said lightly: "That's right, the Seven-Rank Immortal Cloud Life Extension Pill, a pill that can prolong your life by twenty years after taking it, was originally intended to be given to Ge Lao after the matter is completed." ”
Ge Yunbin smiled bitterly and said, "Old Zhang, why are you so hard? With Ling Sun's qualifications, as long as he stays in the outer gate for half a year, he will definitely have the opportunity to enter the inner gate, and the old man will definitely take extra care, and spirit stones, pills and martial arts are absolutely indispensable." ”
Zhang Lao glanced at the young man beside him and said, "Ye'er's qualifications, needless to say, but half a year is too long, he has been delayed for sixteen years, I don't want him to delay." ”
Ge Yunbin got up and began to walk back and forth in the living room, his face was a little struggling, and after half a sound, he finally made up his mind and said: "I want to find a way, first come up with a task to test this person, if this person has no ability, forget it, forget it, and put him in the outer door first." ”
"The quota in Tianyue Peak is reserved for your son, you can wait here first!" Ge Yunbin finished speaking, and walked towards the side hall.
After taking Ge Yunbin away, Zhang Lao immediately got up and came to the door, called an old man to call in front of him, and told him the matter.
Finally, he ordered: "I don't expect any accidents, whether Zhang Ye can enter the inner gate of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion or not is related to the status of our Zhang family in Yunyang City for hundreds of years in the future. ”
"Later, that person comes out, you keep an eye on me, if it's not done, it's okay, if it's done, what to do, you should know!"
The old man's cultivation has reached the realm of a middle-grade martial artist, and after hearing this, he said lightly: "Please rest assured, there will be no mistakes in such a trivial matter." ”
In the side hall, just when Xiao Chen's patience was completely gone, a sound of footsteps came, the door of the side hall was opened, and an old man over seventy years old strode in, and between his steps, he was quite imposing.
Xiao Chen probed his divine sense, but he couldn't feel the strength of this person, and his divine sense seemed to sink into the ocean, which made people feel unfathomable, and they couldn't help but be surprised.
After Ge Yunbin saw Xiao Chen, he smiled softly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I have something important to do, so I have to wait for the little brother for a long time, don't mind." ”
As he spoke, he was also looking Xiao Chen up and down, his eyes swept over Xiao Chen's body, Xiao Chen felt as if he had been completely seen through, and he couldn't keep any secrets.
However, he was not alarmed, he had just seen a pseudo-saint, and the current scene was nothing compared to the previous one.
Xiao Chen got up and bowed his hand, and said respectfully: "I've seen my seniors, it's okay to wait a little longer as a junior." ”
Ge Yunbin nodded secretly, although he only has the realm of a top-grade martial artist, it is rare to be able to be calm, polite and courteous under his own momentum.
Ge Yunbin raised his hand to signal Xiao Chen to sit down, and said with a smile: "Old decay Ge Yunbin, if you don't dislike calling Ge Lao, you can't ask the little brother what his surname is." ”
"Ye Chen, the leaf of the leaf, the birthday of the eight-character Chen. "Ye Chen is his current pseudonym, the name Xiao Chen, now even in Xihe is wanted by the Yan family, it is not easy to use it directly.
After Ge Yunbin was polite again, he said: "Ye Chen, I have read Miss Feng's letter of recommendation, and I respect you very much between words, and I will definitely give Miss Feng's face." ”
"But the inner door of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion is the backbone of the entire Heavenly Sword Pavilion, and it can't be mixed with any water, I will investigate what your strength is. ”
Xiao Chen's thoughts turned sharply in his heart, and he muttered: "If Old Ge doesn't say anything straightforwardly, Ye Chen is by no means a hypocritical person. ”
Ge Yunbin was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "It's been a long time since a junior dares to talk to me like this, then I'll just say it, I'll give you a task." ”
"If you pass, I'll give you a chance to let you enter the inner door directly, if you can't pass, just go to the outer door to experience it first, how about it?"
Xiao Chen didn't think much about it, he missed the opportunity to recruit from the inner gate, and originally planned to enter the Heavenly Sword Pavilion through the outer gate. It's only with Feng Feixue's letter of recommendation that I have the opportunity now, and there is actually no loss if I can't get over.
Without much hesitation, in Ge Yunbin's somewhat surprised gaze, Xiao Chen directly agreed to his request without bargaining at all.
Ge Yunbin said with a smile: "I am very pleased that you have such a mentality, but I hope you don't be careless, the difficulty of the task I give you is the same as the year-end assessment of the outer disciples, and the back door I opened for you is just to save you half a year's time." ”
"In the Yin Wind Valley outside the city, kill a fifth-order spirit beast at will, in order to prevent cheating, the corpse of the spirit beast must be brought back directly, and I will personally inspect it. ”
After Ge Yunbin finished speaking, he handed Xiao Chen some information about Yin Wind Valley, Xiao Chen took it, didn't look at it on the spot, and left the City Lord's Mansion directly.
After finding a residence in the Knife City, an independent courtyard, Xiao Chen began to look carefully, and Ge Yunbin handed over the information.
Yin Wind Valley, located in the west of the Sword City, is extremely cold inside, and most of the spirit beasts are ice attributes, which is the place where the outer disciples usually practice.
The fifth-order spirit beast is equivalent to the strength of a human martial vener, except that it is slightly lower than a human in terms of wisdom and flexibility, and its pure strength is only higher than that of a human being.
Xiao Chen looked at it and threw the information on the table, the introduction on it was pitiful, and it was basically of no help.
