0048 The guards of Hwaseong
After more than ten days of travel, Tianming and Wei Fuzi came to a place that was only more than 100 miles away from Huacheng in the Yanhua Kingdom.
"Have you really thought about not going back to Wuyi with me now?" Wei Fuzi leaned against a big tree, looked at Tianming, who was sitting next to him and rested, and asked again. Along the way, Wei Fuzi had asked such questions several times, but each time Tianming refused.
Tianming rubbed the dirt on the ground with his hand, and refused again, "I don't want to go yet, let's go again when I have time." I still want to go out and practice by myself. ”
Wei Fuzi saw that Tianming had made up his mind, and he no longer wanted to force anything. "If you don't go, you won't go, but next year's Penai Dabi wants you to go, after all, you are my apprentice. ”
"What Dabi?" Tianming asked suspiciously.
"That's right, every year the disciples within the sect will have a competition. This competition will select the ranking of all the disciples of the year, and the promotion of the inner disciples. These are all in order to allow the disciples in the sect to have a competition. Wei Fuzi introduced to Tianming.
Tianming heard Wei Fuzi's introduction and knew in his heart, this is the same as the competition of the three clans. "Is there a reward for the competition?"
"You kid thinking about those rewards? Let me tell you, with your current cultivation, you will be at the bottom of the list if you go. However, there are still rewards, and every year the rewards are according to the provisions of the top ten disciples and the top three outer disciples. You are now my disciple, and you can be regarded as an outer disciple of no sect, and only if you get the top 30 in the annual competition, you can enter the inner gate. Wei Fuzi continued to explain to Tianming.
"And when does this competition start?"
"It's only been two months since the last time, which means that there are still ten months for you, so you can come to the sect to find me again. This is my jade pendant, as long as you go to the Wuyi faction, take out the jade pendant and someone will take you to me. With that, Wei Fuzi took off a piece of jade pendant on his body and handed it to Tianming.
Tianming took the jade pendant and looked at it. I found that this was an ordinary jade pendant. "This one can represent you?"
"Yes, although it is just an ordinary jade pendant, as long as there is no faction, everyone knows that this jade pendant is the only one I have. Wei Fuzi said lightly.
Seeing Wei Fuzi say this, Tianming didn't say anything more, and directly put the jade pendant into his space ring. And this move also surprised Wei Fuzi. "You're a special space ring?"
"How do you know!" this time it was Tianming's turn to be surprised.
"I am an alchemist, and my soul is powerful. If your Space Ring is a normal Space Ring, I'll find out when you take it out or put it in. I didn't expect you kid to hide it!" Wei Fuzi said.
Tianming heard Wei Fuzi's words and then knew the reason, "Well, what should I do if I meet a master like you in the future, and he knows that I have a special space ring to rob me?"
"There's actually nothing good about your space ring. People won't just look at you. Besides, do you think you'll see a master like me a lot now, but just in case, I'll give you another ordinary space ring. It's my gift to your master and apprentice!" Saying that, Wei Fuzi took a ring from his hand and threw it to Tianming, "This space ring is empty, you can take it!"
Tianming took the ring, and without saying a word, he directly put it on his hand and moved some money to the space ring. "Then I'll go into the city, you can go back!" said he walked towards the capital city of Huacheng. Wei Fuzi, on the other hand, stood in place and watched Tianming leave for a while before flashing away.
After walking for more than an hour, Tianming finally came to the gate of Hwaseong. Hwaseong has a total of four large gates, which are in the east, west, north and south directions, and the one that Tianming enters is the east gate. Tianming saw the crowd coming in and out, and followed the crowd towards the gate. Since you need to pay a certain entrance fee to enter Hwaseong, you need to queue up. So Tianming was also queuing, and at this moment, Tianming saw a child about fourteen or fifteen years old not far in front of him, a boy in tattered clothes and dirty hair begging one after another in the crowd in the queue. A few kind-hearted people gave some small money, but more of them avoided it in disgust, and some even kicked the little boy away. However, after being kicked down, the little boy got up again and begged for the next man. Soon, the little boy begged to come to Tianming.
"Big brother, give me some money! My grandfather is sick!" said the little boy in a childish voice.
Tianming was a little unbearable when he saw this child like this, so he asked, "Little brother, what about your parents?"
"Back to my eldest brother, I don't know who my father and mother are, I was just adopted by my grandfather. ”
"Oh, how much money does your grandfather need to heal?" Tianming asked.
"The doctor said it would cost ten taels of silver. The little boy heard Tianming's question and hurried back.
Tianming heard the boy's reply, and took out ten taels of silver from the space ring, "Then, little brother, this is ten taels, you can take it to your grandfather to see a doctor!"
"Thank you, big brother, thank you, big brother!" After speaking, the boy was about to kneel, and Tianming hurriedly stopped the little boy when he saw this. "No need to do this, little brother, tell my brother, what's your name?"
"My name is Xiao Ming, thank you, brother. "First the boy returned.
At this moment, the crowd queuing up to enter the city finally lined up not far from Tianming's eyes. "Then you take the money and go to your grandfather's treatment!"
"Thank you, big brother!" the little boy thanked again and was about to enter the city, but who knew that he was stopped by the guards at the city gate.
"You have to be taught the entrance fee when you enter the city!" said one of the guards. And the little boy named Xiao Ming also knew the rules, so he took out a piece of the broken money given by some well-wishers just now and handed it to the guard. Who knew that the guard did not take the broken money in Xiao Ming's hand, but directly reached out to grab the ten taels of silver in Xiao Ming's other hand. Seeing this, Xiao Ming immediately hid his hand holding ten taels of silver behind him.
"Boy, bring the ten taels and you can go in. The guard saw Xiao Ming hide his hand. Say it directly. In fact, as early as when Tianming gave the silver to Xiao Ming, this guard mainly arrived.
"No, this is the money for my grandfather's treatment, you can't take it. Xiao Ming said with some fear.
Tianming saw not far away that the guards wanted to grab Xiao Ming's ten taels of silver, so he walked forward. Originally, Tianming didn't want to have anything to do with the guards of Hwaseong. But seeing this situation, I still went forward. "Xiao Ming, what's going on?"
"Big brother, he wants to rob me of my money. Xiao Ming saw Tianming coming up, so he said.
And just now the guard saw Tianming, who had given Qian Xiaoming before, come up. I'm not very scared either. You are a martial artist who has practiced the ninth layer of the body, and our guards are all on the first level of the Spirit Martial Realm. Look at you, you don't look like the son of Hwaseong. "Boy, go and line up, what do you want to do?"
Tianming looked at the guard, "That's what you want to rob him of?"
Seeing Tianming asking himself, he sneered...... "Boy, don't meddle in your business. ”
"I don't care if you let Xiao Ming pass. ”
When the guards saw Tianming like this, they were furious. "You're looking for death!" he said, pulling out the matching knife on his body. Cut to the sky.
