Chapter 167: The Town Ruled by the Jianghu People (Part II)
Lin Pingzhi walked out of the store, pacing with a heavy heart. Admittedly, the shopkeeper's proposal moved his heart. Not only because there is a solution to the current priority, but also because this rootless identity has a lot of convenience for him.
This rootless identity allows him to save a lot of trouble no matter where he goes to the Manchu border. With this identity, he can travel unhindered and no longer need to hide and hide as before.
He returned to the inn with contemplation. Originally, he planned to sneak in, and if he found Su Quan and Liu Ruyi, he would take them away immediately. But now that he had the opportunity, he was a little hesitant. He will definitely come to the Manchu border in the future, and he can't hide his identity like this all the time. He needs a proper identity, preferably official. Thinking about it this way, it seems that the identity of the rootless door has more benefits, so he made up his mind to go to the rootless door to sign up.
After asking the shopkeeper about the place to sign up, Lin Pingzhi stood in front of the door of the rootless door to register. A majestic hall towered in front of him, and a plaque in front of the door read "Rootless Gate Trial Selection Registration Office", which made Lin Pingzhi sigh.
He finally came into contact with this mysterious force.
"Hey, boy, what are you doing standing there?" Suddenly, a rough voice came, and Lin Pingzhi looked up and saw a bearded man glaring at him angrily. Lin Pingzhi bowed slightly: "I'm here to sign up for the trial selection." ”
"You're here to sign up for the trial, too? You're not very old, but do you know the dangers here? The big man listened to Lin Pingzhi's words and looked at him in some surprise.
"Hehe, of course I understand." Lin Pingzhi smiled and nodded.
"Well, in that case, you can go in." After the big man finished speaking, he walked to the side on his own.
Lin Pingzhi shrugged helplessly and walked into the main hall of registration.
After entering the main hall, Lin Pingzhi found that it was not as lively as he imagined, the hall was silent, and there were not many people. Only a few dozen people quietly do their jobs. As if sensing the footsteps, some people raised their heads, glanced at Lin Ping, and then were slightly puzzled, and continued to do the work in their hands. Obviously, they didn't think that Lin Pingzhi deserved too much of their attention.
Standing in the slightly deserted hall, Lin Pingzhi shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to ask someone how to sign up for the trial, a girl in a pale green dress stood up from a wooden table and walked over to Lin Pingzhi.
"Hello, I see you're here for the first time to participate in the trial, right?" The girl came to Lin Pingzhi with a smile, her beautiful eyes glanced at him and asked with a smile.
Lin Pingzhi glanced at the girl in front of her, she was petite and cute, and her face was tied with a pair of ponytails, which looked very cute. Lin Pingzhi also smiled and replied, "Yes, it's my first time here, and I want to participate in the trial." ”
"Take part in the trial..?" The girl was slightly stunned after hearing this, and looked Lin Pingzhi up and down. But after a moment, she was interrupted by Lin Pingzhi's words: "Don't you know what conditions are required to register?" As she spoke, she looked at Lin Pingzhi with a smile, and then asked, "Do you know where to go to register?" The girl raised her hand, pointed to the front of the door, smiled and said, "Please come in." Lin Pingzhi looked at the huge door, and couldn't help but feel a trace of nervousness and anticipation in his heart. He took a deep breath, took a step, and stepped through the door.
A pungent smell of blood came to his face, making Lin Pingzhi frown. He looked around and saw that there was a dull atmosphere in the main hall, and from time to time scars of disciples were carried out. This made him wonder, how cruel was the selection of trials?
The girl took Lin Pingzhi to a gate and stopped, and there were two tall and burly men standing on either side, fully armed, looking majestic. Lin Pingzhi didn't pay much attention to the existence of these two people, because his eyes kept falling on the girl.
The girl handed Lin Pingzhi's information to one of the big men, and said with a smile: "This person is here to participate in the trial selection." The big man took the information, checked it carefully, and then took out a round token from the table, with a number written on it, and handed it to Lin Pingzhi.
"This is your assessment number, just wait for the number to be called after you go in for a while." Dahan said, his eyes revealing some expectation. Lin Pingzhi took the token, smiled and thanked him, and then walked into the door with his feet raised.
As he stepped through the gate, it dawned on him to see a vast training ground, surrounded by towering walls. The field was crowded with people, and the sound of swords of various weapons was intertwined, and it was filled with a fierce atmosphere.
Lin Pingzhi walked to the audience on the side, found a place to sit down, and quietly waited for the assessment to begin. He looked around and saw many people dressed in rootless costumes, all of them looking nervous, and their eyes revealed their determination to win.
After a while, a middle-aged man walked onto the high platform of the training ground and slapped the table hard, and the sound resounded throughout the field.
"Trials begin!"
A wave of enthusiasm rose in Lin Ping's heart, he was still a little looking forward to this selection, after all, this was also the operation of his other identity, and then he waited for his number to be called, ready to meet the challenge of the trial.
At the moment when Lin Pingzhi waited patiently, a cold voice was as crisp and moving as the impact of an ice pick in a snow-capped mountain, and he looked over and saw a woman walking into the gate, barefoot and white, like Guanyin descending. She is charming, beautiful, and charming, and wears a unique iron hook on one hand. Her facial features and voice are completely different from her appearance, a compact white dress wraps around her delicate figure, and the white dress contrasts sharply with the iron hook on her hand, adding to her unconcealable femininity. What surprised Lin Pingzhi the most was that she was wearing a gold ring on her head and an embroidered belt around her waist, which was a unique outfit that was eye-catching.
It is a spacious hall with a tall mahogany screen on one side, which is delicately carved with patterns, revealing a faint antique atmosphere. In the center of the hall is an ornate rosewood table with a pot of tea and several delicate teacups. Behind the table sat a middle-aged man, his black hair slightly gray, but there was an unfathomable aura between his eyebrows.
Just then, a soft voice rang out, breaking the silence of the hall. "Hehe, you're here." There was a hint of pride in his voice, obviously the man's most proud apprentice. Then, with a smile in his soft voice, he said, "Let's get started." ”
When the woman heard the voice, she walked up to the man and bowed slightly. "I've seen the master." Her voice was gentle and respectful, as if she was paying tribute to her master.
The man nodded slightly, a look of relief on his face. His eyes swept over the woman's figure, and there was a hint of pride in his gaze. "No need to be polite." He said, with a hint of warmth in his voice.
After the woman sat down, the hall fell silent again. Lin Pingzhi watched the woman sit down, and he was relieved in his heart. He knew very well the power of the Five Poisons Sect, and the aura emanating from the woman in front of him was exactly the characteristics of the people in the Five Poisons Sect.
Thoughts flashed quickly in my mind, and there were figures of the Five Poisons Sect in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "Blue Blood Sword" and "The Legend of Deer and Ding". This person is not a charming blue phoenix, because the blue phoenix in the book does not have iron hands, and the only people who meet this identity are He Hongyao and He Tieshou. And according to the current plot of the Blue Blood Sword, He Hongyao is at least fifty or sixty years old, so this woman must be He Tieshou.
Lin Pingzhi frowned slightly, he thought that this test would not be too difficult, but he never expected such a powerful person to appear. He knew that he had to be cautious next, because this was the Five Poisons Sect, and the people of the Five Poisons Sect had unexpectedly appeared, and he definitely couldn't take it lightly without revealing his true identity.
After a little silence, Lin Pingzhi decided to distance himself from He Tieshou as much as possible, after all, his purpose was to obtain the identity of the sect, and he did not want to get involved in more disputes.
So, Lin Pingzhi straightened his spine, took a deep breath, and began to think about what kind of martial arts he wanted to use. He began to regret a little that he didn't learn some ordinary martial arts, because all he knew seemed to be stunts, and it was obvious that he was not suitable for performing stunts in such an ordinary place.
He quickly made the decision that when others competed, he could secretly learn a few tricks to deal with it, and leave as long as he could handle it.
