Chapter 5 Collecting Money (Asking for Collection)
Founded in the shade of the Ancient Immortal Tree, which never saw the light of day all year round, the Dark City was a huge city that could accommodate millions of people.
The first Dark City Lord was rumored to be a fruit on the Ancient Immortal Tree, which had been absorbed by the moonlight essence over the years and cultivated into a human form.
Later, he worshiped a monk and practiced under the sect, and finally in order to repay the kindness of the ancient immortal tree, he built a city under the shade of the ancient immortal tree, and named it the Dark City.
The Ancient Immortal Tree was originally a dark tree in the demon world, and it had slaughtered hundreds of millions of living beings, and the True Self Emperor was furious when he knew about it, so he entered the land of the Demon World and used his three-inch incorruptible tongue to influence the dark tree for three thousand years, so that the dark tree went to the demon and became enlightened, and came to the land of the human race with the True Self Emperor and turned into an immortal tree.
But unfortunately, after all, due to the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, the ancient immortal tree began to wither after bearing the first immortal fruit, and caused the heavenly punishment and thunder tribulation, and now it has no vitality.
Looking at the ancient immortal tree that covered the sky and the sun, Xun Tian was completely shocked, this is the only way to see such a towering ancient tree in this immortal cultivation world.
The gates of the Dark City would close as soon as it was dark, and he arrived at the gates just before they closed.
"I've sent you here, so you can do it yourself. After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and left, looking at a middle-aged man who had entered the city and handed over two immortal coins, Xun Tian hesitated for a moment and shouted to the old man who was driving the car: "The old man stays." ”
"What else?" the old man seemed impatient.
Xun Tian had to scratch his ears and said with a smile: "Hehe, I have no money, can the old gentleman lend me some and pay you back later." ”
The old man who was driving the car was stunned when he heard this, and then took out two immortal coins and threw them to him: "You don't have to pay it back." ”
"It's not good. Although he was a little embarrassed, a penny was difficult for a hero, not to mention that Xun Tian now saw that the soldiers guarding the city gate looked at him with contempt, and felt that he was not even as good as a bear.
Xun Tian didn't care about the eyes of others, but continued to ask: "I haven't asked the old gentleman about his name yet." ”
The old man who was driving the car had already gotten into the carriage, and he didn't look back and said, "Ziyang is a real person." ”
Hearing this name, Xun Tian's heart beat twice, the abolished Gongsun Zhi is Ziyang Zhenren's apprentice, how much kindness does the old gentleman owe him to Tianpeng Zhenren for treating him like this?
He suddenly found that his door-slamming master was becoming more and more mysterious, but from the memories of his predecessor Xun Tian, he did not inherit the slightest memory of Tianpeng Zhenren accepting him as an apprentice and the Xun Tian family.
It won't be erased. Xun Tian thought of a possibility.
"Hey, little one, the gates are closing. The soldier guarding the city gate reminded.
"I'll go in. Handing over the immortal coin, Xun Tian found that he was actually the last to enter the city today.
The city is brightly lit, like another world, and because of the shade of the trees, the lights on both sides of the road are never extinguished, and it seems that there is only night here, and there is no day.
People who are accustomed to the world in the city can't understand Xun Tian's mood at the moment when he looks up at the dark night sky and falls into contemplation.
I don't have money to live in a hotel? I don't have money to eat? I don't know my life? I can't beg on the street? I say that I am desperate to survive, but where is my life?
Just when Xun Tian felt helpless on the road of cultivating immortals, three middle-aged people dressed as men came up.
"Is this guest going to stay at a hotel?" asked one of the men.
Another guy hurriedly said: "The guest officer comes to our store, it doesn't count the food and accommodation, and the handsome girls are waiting." ”
"Our store is the best and cleanest in the Dark City, so it's better to stay in our hotel." The third guy had a natural expression, at least not that contrived.
"But I don't have any money. Xun Tian replied honestly.
"What kind of money do you want, if you have cultivation, you just need to be young. The three men said almost in unison.
"Is there such a thing?" Xun Tian was really surprised.
"Let's tell you the truth," the third guy said with a smile: "Our city lord is recruiting apprentices in the audition, and the cultivation must be within the refining realm, and the appearance is dignified, I see that the young master, your cultivation is not low, the appearance is extraordinary, and you are so young, you are expected to be selected, there is just an order from above, each family needs to make up thirty places, and the other families have received the news in advance, and they have robbed the people, because of the lack of places, we have stayed here all day to see if there are any young people entering the city every day." ”
Looking at the expectant eyes of the three guys and the many people who came here in the distance, Xun Tian nodded, and now he had to take one step at a time, so he said to the third guy: "This uncle, lead the way." ”
"Just call me Pando. The third guy said heartily.
Soon, Xun Tian was taken by Pan Duo to a delicate and elegant inn, and arranged a table of banquets, accompanied by many maids.
In addition to Pando, twenty-nine other young people also came to the seat, and Xun Tian realized that he was actually the last of the thirty places recruited by Pando.
The last one to enter the city, the last place, this god is really playing tricks on him.
Xun Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly, but when he thought of the city lord accepting apprentices, he chose to order each family to provide thirty places, and Pan Duo was also just doing it for the family, so he just had nowhere to go for a while, let's see what would happen next.
At a glance, the other twenty-nine people are all in the Ninefold Refining Realm without exception, and they are all handsome and have extraordinary temperaments, it seems that Pan Duo does not look easy-going as on the surface, but is a very rigorous person, after all, the Ninefold Realm of Refining is already the peak of the Refining Realm, and the hope of becoming a disciple of the city lord is also the greatest.
Xun Tian didn't realize that he was also a temperamental person until today, otherwise how could Pan Duo fall in love with him?
"On behalf of my Pan family, you are competing for the place of the city lord's disciples, and I, Pan Duo, will toast everyone first. As soon as the feast began, Pando stood up and raised his glass to greet him, and everyone stood up to accompany him.
Until the wine has passed three rounds and the food has passed five flavors, and everyone is slightly drunk, Pan Duo stood up again and said loudly: "In the future, if any of you young master becomes a disciple of the city lord, the Pan family will be in trouble in the future, and I hope you can support it." ”
A young man stood up and replied, "That's nature." ”
Another young man also got up and replied, "So do I." ”
"So do we. Everyone stood up and replied.
Who wouldn't say the words, but it's also a promise. Receiving the grace of people's dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, especially in this cruel world of cultivating immortals, it is even more precious.
"Then I, the Pan family, thank you for your love. Pando replied.
In the early morning of the next day, everyone followed Pan Duo to a large mansion, and two big golden characters came into view: Pan Yuan.
Pan Duo glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "In two days, the City Lord's Mansion will officially hold an apprenticeship ceremony, you will temporarily stay in my Pan Garden, if you need to order your subordinates, in addition, there are many forbidden places in Pan Garden, and I hope you don't break into it easily." ”
Seeing Pan Duo's expression, everyone nodded one after another, which family didn't have any secrets? Pan Duo kindly reminded that he was obviously very good at being a person, so as not to cause unpleasant trouble between the two sides.
As soon as I entered Pan Garden, it was as deep as the sea, and I didn't know what kind of deep palace mansion the City Lord's Mansion would be.
Pan Yuan's impression of Xun Tian is that it is magnificent and huge, and it seems that the Pan family has a long heritage.
Everyone was led by the maids to their respective courtyards, the so-called guests are as they are pleased, and the other party treats guests so politely, no matter how picky people are, I am afraid that there will be no objections.
But there are always exceptions to everything, and it seems that it is unintentional, but it is indeed intentional. One of the young men said casually after seeing his place of residence: "I have heard the name of Pan Yuan for a long time, and it has been inherited for more than 3,000 years, the young master is curious, and he wants to take a walk around and take a look to see if it is really as extraordinary as the rumors." ”
His voice was very loud, and the courtyards of the people were not far away, and of course they all heard it.
Xun Tian pursed his lips and smiled, this guy must have done it on purpose, what is his intention? Could it be that he has an enmity with the Pan family?
