Yangquan Town started out as a small village with only a dozen families in the wilderness, and later the Crazy Knife Sect was established not far from it, and the villagers provided them with daily necessities. With the development and growth of the Crazy Knife Sect, more and more people settled in the village, and over time, the small village became a town, providing daily necessities for dozens of sects.

Later, the Crazy Knife Sect discovered a rich underground spring in a slightly farther place, and the Sect moved there, and the town was also stained, getting rid of the dilemma of driving dozens of miles to get water, and officially changed its name to Yangquan Town.

In the wasteland, the most important and exciting thing is not money, but the clear water source, the water source is the basis of the development of all forces, just look at the crowd on the streets of Yangquan Town, you can imagine how rapid the development of Yangquan Town is after having a water source.

Although the wasteland is large, the spread of news is not slow, and by the time Liu Xia found the alliance registration point set up by the Crazy Knife Sect in Yangquan Town, there was already a long queue in front of the door.

The surrounding tea shops were also full, and in desperation, Liu Xia and others had to walk to the end of the street to find a place to drink water under the shade. Liu Xia didn't care about this, because there was an iron bull to pay the bill at any time. It's good to have a backer in the back, not to mention anything else, in terms of light spirit stone money, it saves Liu Xia a lot of worries.

Wang Yidao was sent to find a sect that could not be named, Wuchen said before that there were many sects in the wilderness, Liu Xia did not expect that there would be so much. Looking at the conditions for joining the alliance set by the Crazy Knife Sect, one of them is that the official number of members of the sect must reach at least three.

From here alone, it can be seen that there are many sects in the wilderness, and it is by no means a lie. The Crazy Knife Sect did not even let go of such a sect, and it also proved from the side that the Immortal Sect was indeed very powerful, so strong that He Dejiang had to ask for watermelon and sesame together.

At this time, Wang Yidao ran over in a hot sweat, followed by a half-messed old man.

After drinking a large bowl of tea, Wang Yidao introduced: "Everyone, let me introduce you to you, this is the famous spear gate advocate Zeyuan." Master Zhang, these are all my friends, and they want to join your spear gate, are you willing?"

Liu Xia looked at Zhang Zeyuan, his cultivation was only a mid-level, his age should be around fifty years old, his face was full of vicissitudes, his back was half hunched, and he looked very old. The right arm was missing, leaving only a left arm with a steel spear strapped to his back.

Hearing Wang Yidao's inquiry, Zhang Zeyuan observed several people one by one with cloudy eyes, and found that except for Fang Yimei and Wang Yidao, he couldn't see through anyone's cultivation. Looking at the clothes worn by Liu Xia and the others, they are very elegant, and they understand that these people are from outside.

Now that the situation in the wasteland is chaotic, acting carefully may not be able to save your life, not to mention accepting a few people who are higher in cultivation than yourself to join the sect, who knows what the purpose of these people coming to the wasteland is, in case they are implicated in themselves, who to reason with.

Zhang Zeyuan just wanted to take over this alliance and make some money from several major sects represented by the Crazy Knife Faction, but he didn't want to take his life.

"My Spear Gate Temple is too small, I'm afraid it can't accommodate a few gods, you better find other sects!" Zhang Zeyuan said his refusal and turned around to leave.

"Master Zhangmen go slowly," Liu Xia stopped him and said with a smile: "I understand what Master Zhangmen is worried about, we joined the Spear Gate just to be able to enter the alliance, and our purpose is the same." ”

"Is it the same?" Zhang Zeyuan turned around and said: "My purpose is for money, and your purpose is not simple, I like money, but I don't like to die for money." ”

Zhang Zeyuan's eyes were still cloudy, his body was still rickety and thin, but when he said this, he had a heroic aura, and his tone was resolute, obviously firmly believing in his own judgment.

"When it comes to money, it's much easier. Liu Xia pondered for a moment and said, "That's it, I'll give you a lot of money, you let us join the spear gate, and then take us to register." After three days, you find a reason to give up the position of the Lance Gatekeeper so that you can leave the wasteland without worrying about your life. ”

Zhang Zeyuan showed a hint of a smile, his cloudy eyes flashed with a bit of brilliance, and he looked at Liu Xia and said, "Although I am the only one left in the spear gate now, as long as I don't die, the spear gate will still be there." You don't look down on my speargate, but I can tell you that no matter how much money you pay, I can't give you the speargate. ”

Liu Xia sighed leisurely and said, "I believe you have a reason to insist, but what's the point of your insistence?"

Zhang Zeyuan, who had already turned away, paused, but still did not look back, and the rickety figure gradually disappeared into the crowd.

Wang Yidao said dissatisfiedly: "It's just a light pole master, and he is so awe-inspiring to say it." I'll look for it again, and there are still a lot of people who can't be registered. ”

Hearing this, Tie Niu couldn't help but speak: "So many people, you come over alone, what kind of eyes do you have!"

"I thought he was pitiful, so I couldn't help but bring him over. ”

"Wang Yidao picked a good one," Liu Xia supported: "You go to him again and talk to him well, I think he will change his mind." ”

Seeing Wang Yidao's puzzled look, Liu Xia reminded: "He is likely to be a veteran, you can start from this aspect." ”

Hearing the word veteran, Wang Yidao was stunned at first, thought about it for a while, and then showed a sudden expression of realization, hurriedly burrowed into the crowd, and looked for Zhang Zeyuan.

Fang Yimei asked, "How can you tell that he is a veteran?"

Liu Xia explained: "Veterans will have a temperament that looks at death as home, which is honed on the battlefield and is very different from the temperament of Jianghu people. Although Zhang Zeyuan has been out of the army for a long time, this temperament has been carved into his bones and will not be easily erased. ”

"You can conclude based on this?" Fang Yimei didn't believe it.

"There are other characteristics, broken arms, spears, traces of wind and sun on his face, perseverance in the depths of his indifferent eyes, etc., combined, Zhang Zeyuan should have fought against the demons in the north. ”

Seeing that Fang Yimei still didn't understand, Liu Xia smiled: "This is just a speculation, the observed information, plus what I have seen and heard before, can find out the greatest possibility." These need to be supported by experience, and you don't have to worry if you don't have a clue now. ”

Wuchen suddenly spoke: "I understand Lord Liu's benevolence, but it is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, no matter how much money you have, there will always be a time when you run out, and how do you ensure the safety of Master Zhangmen?"

Liu Xia puffed up his chest and said lightly: "My current identity is the young head of the Demon Sect, and raising a good person is not a piece of cake." It's better to let him go to Tie Niu's shop to make a start than for him to fight here to make money. ”

"Don't forget, you are the first guest of our family. Fang Yimei reminded.

Liu Xia stretched out his hand and asked, "Where is my Yulu?"

"I'll give you ...... right now"

"I'm kidding, don't take it seriously!"

Tie Niu was confused when he heard this, how could he suddenly add someone to the blacksmith shop? When Wang Yidao found Zhang Zeyuan back, and after listening to Zhang Zeyuan's story, he understood what was going on!

Zhang Zeyuan served in the Great Qin's Northern Xinjiang Army thirty years ago, lost his right arm in a battle against the demons, and then left the army, originally wanting to return to his hometown to live. Later, I heard that after the death of many brothers, their families could not even get pensions, and some parents with only one child had a very difficult life in their old age.

He came up with an idea, united a few companions to go south and north to earn money, although several of them are disabled, but in a small place, they are also considered a strong man, very popular with rich families, have been hired as nurses, every month with a stipend, raising the family of robes.

Later, some companions began to withdraw, and more and more people had to be supported, and the money in hand was no longer enough. Zhang Zeyuan was ready to change his job, and finally ended up in the wasteland, set up a spear gate, charged goods for people to collect debts, and lived a life of adding blood to the knife.

The original intention of establishing the spear gate was to recruit more people, make more money, and raise more Paize Ze family, but how could this kind of thing last long. In the end, only Zhang Zeyuan was left in the spear gate.

Later, if Zhang Zeyuan's behavior hadn't reached the ears of the Northern Xinjiang army, and people often came to take care of him, he would have been unable to persist for a long time.

Tie Niu looked at Liu Xia on the left and Wuchen on the right, and only then did he understand the true meaning of the conversation between the two. To Tie Niu's surprise, they could even guess what Zhang Zeyuan was doing!

To put it bluntly, it is difficult to see through the falsehood in order to discover the truth! It is difficult to see through the two words, people have vanity in their hearts, and there is vanity in the world, and when it comes to seeing through, it is not easy to talk about it.

reported the name, Liu Xia asked Tie Niu to buy a few spears, one for each person, although it was just borrowing chickens to lay eggs, the façade still had to be dressed up.

Then, Zhang Zeyuan took Liu Xia and a few people around to talk and get acquainted, and Liu Xia also took the opportunity to understand the sect pattern of the wilderness. Because Wuchen and Buddha Ye were too eye-catching, they asked the two to find an inn to live in first, and they didn't go with them.

According to the process He Dejiang said, after the registration is over, the elders of the alliance will be promoted, and then the method of raising the Changshengmen will be discussed.

Liu Xia calculated, and when everything was ready, it would be at least ten days later. The time was too long, Liu Xia couldn't wait so long, and just as Liu Xia was about to approach He Dejiang, someone from the Changshengmen came to the door.

The Crazy Knife Sect has made such a big deal of the alliance that it is not normal for the Immortal Sect to react. But Changshengmen's response surprised Liu Xia, who was strong and unreasonable.

The people of the Immortal Sect came to Yangquan Town, set up a ring, and challenged the alliance led by the Crazy Sword Sect for ten days. During these ten days, those who come to the stage to challenge will have the right to choose again, and those who succeed in the challenge will receive the right to avoid death in the Immortal Sect in the future. The remaining sects will be cleared by the Immortal Sect without any consultation.

The originally vigorous alliance movement was mercilessly sniped!

Liu Xia looked at the calm disciples of the Immortal Sect in the ring, his heart was rude, his methods were rude and effective, and his courage was quite big, but where did the Immortal Sect get its confidence?
