Chapter 305: The Dilapidated Inn
In fact, looking at the appearance of this outer disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, he knew that he was in a hurry. If he was replaced by an ordinary bronze sword or silver sword disciple calling him beside him, maybe he would pretend not to see it and rush over directly.
But when he saw He Zhi, the outer disciple didn't dare to ignore it. Because of He Zhi's appearance, the outer disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect felt that He Zhi was very much like an inner senior brother who ran to the inner gate to see the excitement.
As a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, this disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect wearing the bronze sword logo still looked very young. For the senior brother of the inner gate, he is still a little curious and longing. So he stood there with a worried expression, waiting for He Zhi to speak.
"Hmm...... I want to ask you for directions. Do you know that there is a real person surnamed Zhang? Well, this Zhang Zhenren should have lived in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect for generations. The kind that belongs to the wealthy family. ”
"Zhang Zhenren?" The outer disciple had a bitter face, and seemed to think carefully for a while, "Zhang is the big surname, and there are many real people with the surname Zhang in this sect, but I do know a few." But I just don't know who senior brother is referring to?"
"Uh......" He Zhi was asked by the outer disciple this time.
He just knew that Lin Yuqing was robbed by the "Zhang family" who had a real person, but what was the name of the "Zhang Zhenren" of the Zhang family, He Zhi really didn't know!
"Could it be that Senior Brother, you don't know the name of the Zhang Zhenren you are looking for?" the outer disciple asked tentatively.
"Hmm......" He Zhi nodded a little embarrassed.
"That's right...... That's a bit of a hassle. The outer disciple also scratched his head helplessly.
"Do you have anything else?" He Zhi quickly noticed that when the other party was talking to him, his eyes were still looking at the road in the distance from time to time, looking uncertain.
"Hmm...... That, it's not a big deal. The outer disciple was told by He Zhi, and he suddenly became a little apprehensive, he touched his head and said, "I just want to go to the teleportation array to inquire about the results." ”
"Oh, what do you want to inquire about?" asked He Zhi with a smile.
"Of course, it's the result of the inner door selection. Huh, Senior Brother, aren't you the same?" The outer disciple was still young, and when He Zhi asked him this, he couldn't help but be curious, and asked He Zhi in turn.
"Hehe, I know a little about the selection of the inner door. However, isn't the inner sect selection still over?What are the results of your inquiry?" He Zhi also asked the outer disciple with the same curiosity.
"It's just to inquire about the situation before the inner gate selection is over! If you wait until the inner door selection is over, won't it be too late?" the young outer disciple suddenly said more and more puzzled.
"Late? Why?"
"Ah, Senior Brother, didn't you come here because of the gamble of the inner sect selection?" the outer disciple was very surprised and asked again.
"Gambling?" He Zhi didn't expect that in a famous sect like the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, there would be such a big event as the selection of the inner sect, and there would be people who opened a gambling game.
But after thinking about it, He Zhi was relieved. There are really all kinds of strange people in this world, and they don't make people feel strange if they have any habits.
When He Zhi participated in the selection at Shueisha before, didn't he meet a Jindan real person who liked to open gambling games? Perhaps in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, there were similar high-ranking hermits. People are just good at this, what's the problem?
Thinking of this, He Zhi didn't ask the outer disciple about the ins and outs of the gambling game, but said with a smile: "Then now that the inner door selection is not over, what do you want to inquire about?" Speaking of which, I happened to come out of the main hall of the inner gate selection just now, and I know a little about the situation inside. If there's anything you'd like to ask, you can ask me. ”
"Huh, really?" The outer disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect immediately became excited.
Actually, this is because he is too young, and the years he has entered the Ten Thousand Swords Sect are too short. So he didn't know at all that in the first round of the Inner Gate Selection of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, no one was allowed to watch at all. Even if it is a real person who keeps quiet, he can only pay attention to the process of the inner gate selection through the magic weapon, and cannot enter the main hall in person.
This bronze sword disciple also thought that although the outer disciples were not allowed to enter the trial hall selected by the inner gate, maybe there would be special preferential treatment for some inner disciples?
"Hmm. Naturally, I won't lie to you. He Zhi smiled and nodded.
Although he is not an inner disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the fact that he has just come out of the main hall is genuine!
"That'...... Can that senior brother ......" The outer disciple looked at He Zhi embarrassedly.
"Hehe, you want me to tell you about the situation in the main hall?" He Zhi continued to say with a smile.
"Uh-huh!" the outer disciple immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice. This time, he finally obtained the qualification of a bronze sword disciple, and he was able to go up the mountain to watch the selection of inner disciples.
Of course, it doesn't matter to him to watch the selection or something. What really matters is that he is qualified to enter the area of the inner door selection, which is equivalent to being qualified to bet in the gambling game hosted by the fat man.
This outer disciple didn't spend much money for this reason, and he accumulated all the resources and spirit stones. It's because he has always heard from his fellow disciples before, who chose a powerful senior brother Jin Jian in last year's inner disciple selection, and bet on him, but that senior brother Jin Jian really competed, and finally succeeded in breaking out of the encirclement and becoming an inner disciple. So whoever made a lot of money, the guy who was originally poor and couldn't even afford to eat porridge turned over all of a sudden. I don't spend a lot of resources in my hand, and my cultivation is also changing every day, and the entry is incredibly fast.
This young outer disciple also listened to the fools of those senior brothers at that time, but as soon as his brain was hot, he worked hard for several months to save all the spirit stones, just to fight for a big one in this inner door selection.
Speaking of which, the qualifications of this outer disciple themselves are not bad. It's just a pity that he doesn't have a background background in his family, so among the outer gates of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, he can only barely maintain his cultivation by relying on the little resources provided to his disciples by the outer gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
He didn't have the money to buy a lot of treasures that made his eyes hot, or rare spiritual food, pets, etc. Moreover, because of the limitation of resources, his own cultivation and entry into the realm were also limited. There are many people who are not as talented as him, but because they have a background in the family, they can get a lot of resources provided by the family every month, so their cultivation is actually rising faster than him!
Young people have the heart of comparison. Especially since he himself has good qualifications, seeing that the cultivation of those fellow disciples around him who are not as qualified as his own surpasses him one by one, leaving himself behind, how can this outer disciple be convinced?
However, although he was bent on using a small amount of money in this inner gate selection, he could get resources to help him practice. It's good to raise his eyebrows among those fellow disciples, but he's not completely brainless.
After coming to this inner door selection place, he also inquired around, roughly understood the process of betting, and inquired about some "skills" before making a decision.
However, he was really ruthless in the first two days. So on the contrary, I overslept on this day, and I was a long time late for going up the mountain. The inner door selection here is already halfway through, and he has just gone up the mountain.
Originally, this young man was also very depressed in his heart, feeling that he had missed the opportunity this time, and he must have lost his play. As a result, he didn't expect to meet He Zhi halfway, and he was also overjoyed.
"Hehe, it's okay to tell you what's going on inside. Still, you've got to do something for me. Seeing the other party looking at him with a blank eye, He Zhi couldn't help laughing, and he quickly deliberately put on a straight face, put on a businesslike appearance, and said to the young man.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh! Senior brother just wants to know the situation of that Zhang Zhenren, right? This is easy to do! It's on me, I must find out the news for senior brother!" The young man was afraid that he would miss the "good opportunity", so he almost scratched his ears and cheeks and said to He Zhi in a loud voice.
"Okay, as long as you can help me find out about Zhang Zhenren's situation, I will tell you everything about the situation in the hall. ”
"Okay, we'll make up our minds. The young man nodded vigorously in surprise, and then couldn't wait to say again, "Senior brother, then let's not delay time." Let's go. ”
As soon as he had finished speaking, the young man took the lead and ran in another direction.
"Don't worry! I haven't asked you what to call it. ”
"Hey, senior brother, we can all say these things on the road! My name is Lin Dong, and my fellow brothers call me Xiao Linzi. You can just call me that. The young man said, but his feet did not stop, and he continued to run away in a smoke.
He Zhi followed closely behind the young man, and after a while, the two of them left the Great Hall of Trials and entered a market where the inner gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was located.
The boy obviously didn't know how many times he had been to the market recently, and he knew all the roads in the market. He quickly took He Zhi around the market, and in a short time the two of them entered an inn that looked a little old.
After entering the inn, He Zhi first saw that there seemed to be no guests in the inn - this is also a matter of course.
In this place where the inner gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is located, most of the buildings have been spelled, and they are always as new. Only those whose owners have limited resources and little ability will run a shop that looks old.
And these old shops are naturally not very popular.
In addition, in addition to the fact that there were no guests in the inn, there were no men to see - this is also a very normal thing, there are no guests, and the owner of the inn naturally has no money to hire a buddy.
In the entire inn, He Zhi saw a middle-aged man who looked about thirty or forty years old, looking a little depressed, dozing off behind the counter.
"Boss! boss!" Lin Dong quickly ran to the middle-aged man and knocked on the counter.
"Ahhh
"Phew, I'm not going to eat at your place! The food is poor, and the price is more expensive than the restaurant outside!" Lin Dong snorted, and said to the boss with disdain.
"Hmph, I don't like that it's expensive here, you can go elsewhere. ”
"Hey, boss, let's get one yard for one yard! I hate that your food here is expensive, but the price of your hotel here is still cheaper than elsewhere. However, there are shops elsewhere that can call customers early. Why can't your family? I almost missed the big event today!" Lin Dong said this, and he looked a little angry.
"Hmph, if you miss it, you miss it, what does it have to do with me?" the boss was still lazy, and then said with a sneer, "As far as your ability is concerned, you still learn from others to gamble." I see you, it's better to go back as soon as possible. lest you lose even the leggings. ”
"Bah, you crow's mouth, I don't have to worry about my affairs!" Lin Dong took a few sips again, slapping the table in front of the boss with a shocking sound, "Okay, I'm not here for these things now." Didn't you say before that you in this Ten Thousand Swords Sect are the ones who have been thinking about it the longest and are the most familiar with the situation in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect? I have something I want to ask you about. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Our Ten Thousand Swords Sect, how many real people surnamed Zhang are there?"
"Zhang?" the boss couldn't help but smile dumbly when he heard this, "This is a big surname! If you talk about immortals, maybe there are only one or two." But...... Real people? There must be 80 if there is no 100. What's wrong?"
"What? so much?" Lin Dong couldn't help but stick out his tongue, glanced back at He Zhi, and then said again, "It's not that I want to inquire about this matter, but this senior brother wants to find a real person surnamed Zhang." But he didn't know the other party's full name. I only know that the surname is Zhang, and the entire family has settled in our Ten Thousand Swords Sect. ”
"Oh, the real person surnamed Zhang is still a big family? In this case, it is easier to find than just now. The innkeeper touched his chin, rolled his eyes twice, and said, "But I told you about this, what good do I have?"
"What, you still want benefits?" Lin Dong almost didn't jump.
"What's the matter? Is there any good thing that can work for others in these years? If you meet it next time, you can also introduce it to me?" The innkeeper looked at Lin Dong with disdain.
"You...... Count you ruthless!" Lin Dong was obviously in a hurry and didn't have time to talk to the innkeeper. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and said with a very painful look: "You told me about it, and you can't beat me to eat here at noon." If you still refuse to agree, you can't ask the innkeeper at another inn. ”
"Hmm...... Let's just barely do it. The innkeeper also seemed to think about it, so he reluctantly nodded, "The real person surnamed Zhang, we have many in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect." However, if the whole family is settled in our Ten Thousand Swords Sect, there are only eight of them. In addition, among the eight Zhang Zhenren, six of them are from the same family. Therefore, the person you want to inquire about should be one of the other two Zhang Zhenren. ”
