Chapter 72: The Recruits (I)
When approaching Black Rock City, you can clearly see that the terrain here has risen steeply, and the plain is connected to the endless peaks, which seem to be connected to the edge of the sky, and you can't see the edge at a glance, the sunset dyes the sky into a golden yellow, and Black Rock City looks very metallic under the reflection of the golden sunset, a good male city.
Qi Fei thought to himself that the mountains here were much steeper than Shanghu Village, Black Rock City was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and if you didn't take the mountain road from the west, Black Rock City was a must-pass place. Heiyan City, whether in terms of topography or location, is indeed a barrier to the west of Jingzhou, and Qi Fei can be regarded as truly feeling what a dangerous place is.
The flying boat landed about three miles away from Black Rock City, and as soon as the flying boat landed, a soldier wearing the uniform of the Iron Tiger Army came over, Yang Zuo and the others directly revealed their identities, and the three soldiers of the Iron Tiger Army became respectful, and then led the three of them to walk in the direction of Black Rock City.
Qi Fei saw that these three people were all about thirty years old, and their cultivation was similar to his own, and they were all in the Enlightenment Realm, but they all had a solemn temperament, just like three sabers that could be unsheathed at any time, which made people dare not despise them, Qi Fei couldn't help but be in awe, knowing that this was the effect of the experience, and he was still a little tender compared to them.
Under the leadership of the three of them, Qi Fei and the others walked directly in the direction of Black Rock City, from a distance, Black Rock City is very majestic, and when they get closer, they can feel the sense of oppression that the wall is thousands of feet high, and there is still some distance from the city wall, Qi Fei is about to look up.
When he really stood in front of the city wall, Qi Fei was intoxicated with the kind of oncoming quaintness, knowing that this must be a city with a long history, and he seemed to be like a born baby in front of him, and I don't know how many people like myself have been here for thousands of years, standing in front of the city gate and shocked by the majesty of Black Rock City, these people have either stayed here, or hurried by, but now they have all disappeared in the long river of history.
Qi Fei felt a sense of insignificance in the face of this giant city, but soon Qi Fei cheered up and secretly encouraged himself that he must gain something here, not to be a blockbuster, but to lay a good foundation in the past two years, and to test me.
Under the towering city wall is an arched city gate that is nearly 100 zhang high and more than 50 zhang wide, and there are two big characters "Yongning" above the door, and a sense of vicissitudes seems to be pressed down from the city wall, so that people can not look directly. There were a large number of garrisons under the city gate, and they were checking the passers-by, Qi Fei glanced at at the fact that there were at least fifteen people above the Spirit Realm, each of them exuding a cold and iron-blooded smell, and ordinary people could barely breathe when they walked over.
Soon, a few people came to the city gate, the three Iron Tiger Army soldiers who led the way, introduced the identity of Yang Zuo and others to the garrison of the check, the people over there were obviously taken aback after hearing the words, and a leader of the Dingling Upper Realm hurriedly walked over, and after identifying himself, he wanted to lead the way for Yang Zuo and others, but Yang Zuo refused politely and walked directly into the city.
Qi Fei has never entered such a big city when he is so big, he is a little dumbfounded for a while, there are all kinds of people on the street, there are all kinds of buildings, teahouses, wine shops, trading houses, and merchants, people are like flowing water, horses are like flying dragons, it is really lively. Most of the pedestrians on the street are ordinary people, shouting, talking and laughing one after another, but there are also many monks among them, most of them are in the Enlightenment Realm, and of course there are many people that Qi Fei can't see, which means that these must be above the Spiritual Concentration.
Qi Fei silently followed behind a few people, although the scenery in Black Rock City was novel, but Qi Fei's attention was on those monks, before Lord Zhang said that there were dragons and snakes mixed here, and after seeing it with his own eyes, he had a deeper understanding of this words. The Iron Tiger Army can suppress these monks on the bright side, but there will always be some unsavory things in the dark, so I still have to keep a low profile and spend the two years in peace first.
Soon after entering the city gate, a gray-haired middle-aged man appeared in front of several people, Yang Zuo nodded after seeing it, and after a few people turned a street corner on the street, they entered a courtyard made of blue bricks, and the gray-haired middle-aged man went all the way forward, leading a few people to the house, and then waved away the servants in the house, and knelt down in front of Yang Zuo.
The man said, "The last general, Wu Sunkui, has visited the Left Envoy, does the Left Envoy need me to inform the city lord?"
Yang Zuo waved his hand and said, "I'll go back to the city lord's side later, a few of us swaggered in from the city gate, and we must not be able to hide from him, so we must go to visit." Then he pointed at Qi Fei and said: "This is Qi Fei who has just graduated from the training camp and wants to join the Iron Tiger Army, you arrange him to join the camp of the new Iron Tiger Army, remember not to leak the news." ”
Wu Sunkui glanced at Qi Fei and said, "There are a lot of recruits sent from the training camp in the past few days, and I can let him go to the team today." For Qi Fei, Wu Sunkui didn't ask a word.
This is exactly what Yang Zuo takes a fancy to him, do what should be done, and don't ask what shouldn't be asked. Yang Zuo nodded with satisfaction and said, "I'll just go over by myself on the city lord's side, calculate the time, he should have gotten the news, you go and do something." ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Qi Fei and said, "When you enter the recruit team, everything depends on you, and no one can help you." Improve your strength as soon as possible, and I hope to see a different Qi Fei in half a year. ”
Although Qi Fei has already been prepared in his heart, he is still a little unhappy in his heart, this is simply a look of discarding himself, not to mention that there is no relatives here, it must not be easy to be in the team, at least you can call someone to say hello, so that you can get some respite, now what you lack most is time, it is best to have time when no one disturbs, so that you can digest and sort out what you have recently gained.
Facing the gaze of Yang Zuo and the others, Qi Fei had no choice but to say seriously: "I'm ready, from now on I will be a qualified soldier of the Iron Tiger Army." ”
Master Zhang patted Qi Fei on the shoulder, and then said, "Where do you go to find a well-fitting dress first, people who wear nondescript clothes still think you want food." After speaking, he smiled helplessly.
Qi Fei pulled his clothes awkwardly, and said gratefully: "Thank you Lord Zhang for your concern, if you stop by, you will bother Lord Wu to help." Qi Fei saw that Wu Sunkui looked inconspicuous, but he didn't dare to underestimate him at all, and he couldn't feel the breath of the spirit at all on Wu Sunkui, so his strength was at least in the Spirit Realm.
Wu Sunkui said expressionlessly: "This is easy to do, I will find you a few larger clothes later, then let's set off now." After finishing speaking, he looked at Yang Zuo, Yang Zuo nodded, and then the two of them walked out quickly.
Yang Zuo and the others watched Qi Fei disappear outside the door, glanced at each other, and had some helpless expressions, and after a period of silence, Yang Zuo said: "Since we have come to Black Rock City, then let's go and visit the city lord." ”
