Tang Ping and the four of them wandered around the town, and they encountered some new things.

It was Yan Xuan who first discovered that among the bustling crowd in Ruixuan Town, there were a lot of new faces, although she couldn't remember all the people she met when she came here a few times ago, but the extra ones in front of her were obviously not casual cultivators, nor were they dressed up as disciples of the Five Spirits, one by one they were either curious or happily wandering around the streets of Ruixuan Town, and at first glance they looked like they had just come to Ruixuan Town. Yan Xuan stared around, then said:

"Why are there so many people in Ruixuan Town today?"

Ruixuan Town is indeed very lively every day, but a few people who have been here many times also looked around for a while after listening to Yan Xuan's words, and sure enough, today's town is obviously more lively than in the past, at least there are a lot more people wandering around the town like the four of them.

"Eh, it seems like there are a lot more people." Lu Pingchuan also said.

唐萍 says:

"I probably know why there are so many more people."

"What is it?"

"It's not related to Mu Yang Sect, a while ago, our Five Spirit Sect and Mu Yang Sect confronted each other, we have been in the sect all the time, and we don't know much about the outside, but for those large and small families within the territory of the Five Spirit Sect, it is a major matter that they are extremely concerned about. Especially those big families who are close to the area of Mu Yang Sect, they have strength, and they have always been unwilling to obey the orders of the Five Spirits Sect, in fact, they are not willing to be under the jurisdiction of Mu Yang Sect, and the confrontation between the two major sects is an opportunity for them. Some of them secretly communicate with Mu Yangzong behind their backs, or secretly pass on news to them or secretly make trouble for us, hoping that this time the Five Spirits Sect can suffer a big loss, so that they will have benefits; Others, they took the opportunity to show off in front of the Five Spirits Sect, shouting that they were either going to give out people or things, obviously looking like they were helping the Five Spirits Sect, but in fact, they thought that the Five Spirits Sect would lose in the confrontation with the Muyang Sect this time, and only if they helped, the Five Spirits Sect could win, and then they could get more benefits from the sect in the future; Of course, it's more of an intuitive look, such a family is the kind of grass on the wall, obviously under the jurisdiction of the Five Spirits Sect but has always been a wall-watcher, no matter who wins or loses in the end, they will not be affected by anything. ”

"What does that have to do with the excitement here today?" Yan Xuan asked puzzled.

"Of course it matters, this time our confrontation with Mu Yang Sect completely relied on the strength of the sect itself to oppress Mu Yang Sect to the point where it was unable to support it, without relying on the power of any great family or sect at all, what do you guess will be? Hmph, I heard that Mu Yangzong shook hands with us and then retreated, and then, the sect has long been aware of the practices of those families, and they can see it clearly, and after dealing with Mu Yangzong, those seniors easily suppressed a few big families who secretly dealt with Mu Yangzong, and eliminated a few of the first evils, well, and then there was no thunderous means, but I heard that the seniors who were sent out dismembered several famous and powerful big families were divided into several small families, Let them become a plate of loose sand, and there is no way to make waves. This is the killing machine to show the monkey, which family is not afraid of this kind of means, so those families who either had ulterior motives or watched from the wall, now is the time to show loyalty to the Five Spirits Sect, and the general practice is to ......"

Speaking of this, Tang Ping swept the lively crowd around her with her eyes.

"Let the promising and promising children of my family come to the Five Spirits Sect to practice, and most of them are selected, even if they are protons, so there are so many more people in this Ruixuan Town."

Li Jian suddenly realized when he heard this, nodded and said:

"So that's the case, well, I didn't expect that the sect's governance of those sects and families is really the same as the country's governance of state and county officials, which is somewhat interesting."

Yan Xuan still didn't understand, so he asked again:

"That'...... Even if the sect broke up some big families and divided them into small families, after all, they used to be a family, and after the sect left, couldn't they unite again and reunite into the original big family? ”

"Impossible, Sister Yan, don't talk about the big family, there are more or less contradictions within the ordinary family, everyone wants to be in power, they all want to have the final say, it's just that there is no chance, the sect is the first evil, in fact, it is the core figure of the big family, without such a character suppression, the next family will definitely not be able to suppress the room, you think, it is better to be the person in charge of a small family than to be in a big family to obey people everywhere and be busy running around involuntarily, right? This is the reason why it is better to be the head of a chicken than a phoenix, so once a big family is dismembered, there is basically no possibility of reuniting together, only one of the small families keeps getting bigger, and then annexes other small families of the same clan and clan, so that it is possible for this family to regain its original strength, and the rest is not to think about it. ”

"That's right." Yan Xuan understood it.

"Oh, yes, there's another reason."

"What's the reason?"

"Do you remember what I said before, 'Chengguan Grace Test'?" Tang Ping asked.

Yan Xuan and Lu Pingchuan were obviously not impressed, but Li Jian remembered it and said:

"Remember, it was when Miss Yanshuang first entered the Five Spirits Sect, when we went to Tianshui Lake to see the excitement, Miss Tang said, I saw a building by the lake, Miss Tang said that it was Chengguan Building, and there was a platform downstairs, that was the ring, which was used for the 'Chengguan Grace Test', right?" (See Chapter 4, Test Feathers, One Hundred and Eighty-Six: Welcoming the Lady by the Lake.) ）

"Ah, I remembered, what kind of 'Xiaobi' you were talking about, right?" Yan Xuan also remembered when he heard Li Jian say this.

"That's right, it's 'Chengguan Grace Test'."

"What does that have to do with these people in front of you? Could it be that they also came to participate in that 'grace test'? ”

"That's right," Tang Ping said, "The grace test is once every ten years, counting the days, the next grace test should be a year later, as long as you are a disciple of the five spirits, and those who cultivate to the fifth level of qi refining or higher, you can participate, as long as you can win a few games in the grace test, you can hope to be selected by the seniors in the sect, and then accept it as a disciple." ”

"Hehe, it turns out that they all planned to come here to apprentice." Lu Pingchuan said.

"Well, they naturally have the same idea, but the sect also has rules, but it doesn't mean that today's Grace Test, those who came yesterday can also participate, in addition to the requirements for cultivation, it must be a fifth-layer Qi refining accident, and the disciples who participate in the Grace Test must also be in the sect for a year, and they are not allowed to take the stage if they don't stay in the sect for enough time, so we see so many people here today, and it is not necessarily those families who let their children come to the sect to practice in order to show their loyalty, and a large part of them are to be able to make up enough time to participate in the Grace Test, If it weren't for the sake of grace, it is estimated that many people on this street would still be living comfortably in their own homes. ”

"How comfortable can you be in the Maison?"

"Don't be stupid, Sister Yan, since their family wants them to apprentice in the Five Spirits Sect, they must be the children of the family with prospects, even if they are the sons of a small family, those days are much more comfortable than ours, at least the sons and ladies of these families don't have to go to the Honor House for the spirit stone to receive the dispatch, and they don't have to fight to the death with the demon beast for a few spirit grasses, day by day is a day of living with clothes to stretch out their hands and food to open their mouths, do you say that it is much more comfortable than us?"

"It's so boring." Li Jian smiled, he was not interested in that kind of day at all.

"If there are too many days like that, people will be wasted!" Lu Pingchuan also said.

……

In the entire Ruixuan Town, what interests Tang Ping and the four of them the most is naturally the place where the scattered cultivators concentrate on selling all kinds of items, and this is also the place they must come to every time they come to Ruixuan Town.

All sorts of novelty, uncommon, or never-before-seen are here.

Even if they are deceived, the deception of those loose cultivators is not found in the sect, so this is also the most lively place in Ruixuan Town.

The four of them walked among them, Tang Ping remembered what Qian Chao liked, and after shopping for a while, he took out the spirit stone and bought a few books.

Among the four people, Tang Ping and Yan Xuan are really looking for novelties, as long as they can see it, they can negotiate with each other, while Lu Pingchuan just likes to watch the excitement here.

Only Li Jian, although he also likes to visit here, but he is not interested in the various goods put out by those casual cultivators, he doesn't care about these foreign things, on the contrary, what interests Li Jian is the casual cultivation here, after all, after building the foundation in the future, when he walks in the cultivation world to do things, he will often deal with such characters, so Li Jian is most interested in these scattered cultivators with different looks, two girls look at the goods, one Lu Pingchuan looks at the excitement, and he is looking at people.

With his innate sensibility, Li Jian really found a character that interested him today.

It was a casual cultivator, who looked like he was about seventeen or eighteen years old, a young man of medium stature, his clothes were old but not torn, and he could still tell how noble he used to be by looking at the style of the robe, the young man had kept his head down, and there were more than a dozen things in front of him that he didn't know whether he had obtained them from others or those he had worked hard to find, and they were all inconspicuous things, and the reason why Li Jian paid attention to this person was because he could easily detect the strong emotions churning in the heart of this young man's casual cultivator.

It was an irrepressible fear and a desperately suppressed anger!

As a result, although this casual cultivator kept his head down, his body was trembling slightly.

Li Jian noticed this guy soon after he arrived here, no matter who he was, he could behave like this...... It must have been someone who saw something that made him fear and hate.

Then Li Jian began to secretly pay attention to this loose cultivator, in his sense, this casual cultivator of the same age as him from time to time used the residual light of his eyes to glance at a group of people, and after catching a glance, he quickly looked away, as if he was afraid of being discovered by the other party.

Li Jian followed that gaze and looked over, there were five or six young people there, all dressed differently, but none of them were dressed like the Five Spirit disciples, but their clothes and robes were all luxurious, and each of them had a look of arrogance and pride, and they were wandering around here casually, pointing at the things that were put out by the scattered cultivators while talking.

It is estimated that it may be the kind of guy that Miss Tang said will stay in the sect for a year and then participate in the "Grace Test", Li Jian said secretly, maybe that loose cultivator has some deep hatred with one of them.

Then something happened that annoyed Li Jian, among the young people, a boy who was not tall and had fair skin suddenly saw Yan Xuan and Tang Ping's two daughters at a glance, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and his face showed a little covetousness. And his face became more and more obscene, which made Li Jian already have hatred in his heart.

Lecher! Li Jian said secretly, I think what kind of bastard should it be, if it is a disciple who has been in the Five Spirits Sect who doesn't know Tang Ping?

However, Li Jian's shot is not as good as Lu Pingchuan's shot for this kind of thing, at least Brother Lu's slap is much more suitable than his own sword here, and he can also scare those people away when he stares at him, so Li Jian walked a few steps quickly to Lu Pingchuan, touched his shoulder and made a look again, and immediately Lu Pingchuan understood, and his face was full of anger.

Lu Pingchuan strode forward, first following from the back of the two boys, and then he opened the two big slaps and slapped them together in the middle!

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Bang!"

The two "pops" are Lu Pingchuan's big slaps from behind and slap heavily on the cheeks on both sides of the two, and the "bang" sound is that the heads of the two hit together, and then Lu Pingchuan also left some measure, but he still almost knocked the two boys unconscious, squatting on the ground one by one and holding his head "Oops, hey, hey" and screaming, looking up at Lu Pingchuan who was doing it, but he was also a little bold, and scolded in his mouth:

"Something, dare to be rude to us!"

"Phew! Lao Tzu is the two of you who look like dogs, you look like a person, but you don't look good to go into the water, at first glance, you lack the discipline of your father, then you can only regulate you! ”

"You...... How dare you ......"

One of them was so angry that he had to stand up and tear with Lu Pingchuan, and he was kicked to the ground by Lu Pingchuan's heartwarming foot, lying there and screaming mournfully.

Tang Ping and Yan Xuan had already turned around when they heard the movement behind, and they knew what was going on when they heard Lu Pingchuan's scolding, and their eyes looked coldly at the two who were beaten.
