Although the mountain gate of the main sect of the Black Sword Sect is a little better than the branch court, it is also simple and rough after all.

Not only is there no grand and solemn hall, but even the woods are potholed and as if they have been ravaged by bulldozers, which is estimated to be caused by a certain sublimator who lost control.

Of course Luo Nan can understand, the transcendent sublimators in the Sword Sect come out of control from time to time, spending money on buildings, it is a bottomless pit, no matter how much money is invested in it, they can't even afford to fight a water drift.

By the way, in order to maintain the formation and prevent the large-scale invasion of demons, it is also necessary to continue to invest.

So to put it simply, it's two words: no money.

But...... It's all too dilapidated in front of me.

It's like a small village on the earth, in the poor mountains and bad waters of the last century.

It's really not worthy of the great reputation of the Black Sword Sect.

On the earth, Luo Nan has seen the majesty of Shaolin and sighed at the magnificence of Wudang.

Even the declining Qingcheng and Emei are much more majestic than the mountain gate of the Black Sword Sect.

Even a small ruined temple in a small eighteenth-tier city is more magnificent than the mountain gate of the Black Sword Sect.

Luo Nan could only whisper: "The mountain is not high, and if there is an immortal, it is famous", but the gap in his heart is still difficult to fill.

"Are you disappointed?" Pei Jianshi asked with a smile.

Luo Nan didn't hide it from him: "I always feel that the number one sword sect in the world should be more magnificent." ”

Pei Jianzhi raised his head and laughed: "Hahahaha!" ”

After laughing, he said: "We are in charge of the Black Sword Sect, if we say that it is the second Sword Sect in the world, no one dares to call ourselves the first." There are also Great Sword Sects in other countries, but compared to us, they are not worth mentioning. But who told you that the big gate should be magnificent? We are not the imperial court. Our income is too small, and our expenses are too much: we have to maintain the large array, to meet the daily needs of many sword students, sword attendants, and teachers, in addition to this, we also have to build secret treasures, and we have to maintain weapons ......"

"Otherwise, knowing that after joining a gang or joining the imperial court, they will often fight demons, and the casualty rate is very high, why are many people still willing to join a gang or the imperial court? It's not because the life in the sect is too poor, and the bird fades out of the mouth. Joining a gang or the imperial court, although it is likely to die faster, at least you can be clothed and fed, and lean on the red and green. ”

Luo Nan was stunned: "It sounds too bitter." Otherwise, I will hurry up and learn and go down the mountain to find a gang to eat and drink spicy. ”

"Haha! Don't worry! However, although we are bitter, there are others who are more bitter than us. Pei Jianzhi smiled a little badly.

Luo Nan said, "Those evil sects? ”

"Yes, those evil sects really have nothing, no fixed place, and are displaced," Pei Jianshi counted him with his fingers, "And we, although we live in a humble house, at least we can protect from the wind and rain." The land around our mountain gate is owned by the Sword Sect, and it is only rented by tenants. All the above outputs must be handed over to the Sword Sect Sancheng. ”

"It's not much." Luo Nan knew that in the so-called prosperous era of Kangqian, the peasants worked hard all year round, and almost seventy percent of the harvest had to be handed over.

The so-called "never add endowment" is just a different name to pit the people's money.

And with seventy percent of the harvest, farmers can still live a good life.

The tenants outside the mountain gate of the Black Sword Sect only need to hand over thirty percent, and their lives are quite good, maybe they can eat some meat during the New Year's holidays, and they can feed a few more children.

"It's not much, but it's barely enough to feed many sword students," Pei Jian said, "In addition, there is a fixed reward from the imperial court every year; Sometimes there are donations from large families in the surrounding cities, so we actively send people to protect them in case of demon invasion; Sometimes the big gangs in the neighborhood will also give us a little profit, so that we can assign better sword students to them. ”

As they spoke, they had already come to the inside of the Sword Sect.

There weren't many people I saw along the way, most of them with their heads down, not knowing what they were thinking.

After turning a corner, there is a large square, at least the size of three football fields, where hundreds of sword students practice swords.

The movements are not uniform and appear very chaotic.

But Luo Nan looked at it a few times, and could see a few clues, the Xi Jiansheng here was indeed much more powerful than the Xi Jiansheng in the lower courtyard, at least the swordsmanship was much more exquisite.

Pei Jianshi smiled meaningfully: "Is there pressure?" In our branch, you deserve to be the first, and maybe even the first in a century. But in the main sect, all you can see are geniuses from various branches of Great Chu, and they hold up a piece of the sky of Great Chu. Of course, you are a genius, but among so many geniuses, it is still difficult to stand out! ”

Luo Nan smiled casually: "I didn't want to stand out, and I didn't want to compare with others. I just want to learn swordsmanship and slay demons! ”

"Good!" A snap rang out behind them.

Luo Nan was shocked, turned around quickly, and saw a man with crane hair and a childish face and a white robe standing there in the wind.

At first glance, there is nothing unusual except for the silver hair.

But a closer look reveals that under the robe, the man's two legs have become deformable and inhuman, as if he is some special arthropod, with more than a dozen joints, twisted and weird.

Luo Nan immediately guessed that this person was estimated to be not only a sublimator, but also a sublimator second stage, or even above.

According to what he had learned recently, the stronger the Transcendental, the more likely they were to distort.

But unlike the demon masters on the Cheng Ming side, in Da Chu, just like they like to condense the demon essence in a specific part of their body - some people like to put it on their hands, some people like to put it on their legs and feet, they can also control the distorted parts.

This sublimator is estimated to condense the essence of demons in his legs and improve mobility.

Pei Jianshi bowed slightly: "Shao Jianshi!" ”

The sword squire is also different from the swordsman.

Like, some of you are the president of USA, and some of you are the president of Dongguan VSA Electronics Factory.

It's the same president, but can it be the same?

Luo Nan also saluted this powerful sword attendant, and the other party bowed his head lightly and returned the salute, "Are you a sword student?" ”

Pei Jianzhi hurriedly said: "This is the true seed recommended by our Meizhou Branch. Luo Lan, this Shao Sword Servant is the patriarch of the Sword Sect, and he has assisted the three Tianyuan Sword Masters. Don't you often ask us what the background of the Sword Sect is? If you have to talk about it, Shao Jianshi is one of the foundations of our sword sect. ”

"It's overrated." Shao Jianshi shook his head.

Luo Nan bowed again, more solemnly.

Shao Jian said, "Your idea is very good. Don't be competitive, my swordsman, don't care about worldly honor and disgrace. In our short life, it is enough to be able to slay demons and bloom with brilliance. ”

Luo Nan thought to himself, it's enough for your old man to bloom in a short life, I still want to live a little longer.

Of course, there is no need to say this.

Shao Jianshi was full of admiration for Luo Nan and said, "When he settles down, let him come to see me, and I will preside over his true inheritance ceremony." ”
