“duang——”

A huge bell rings throughout the village, this is the "morning bell", which represents the beginning of a new day, and everyone must rush to the square in front of the hall to sign in before the bell ends.

In the evening, the "dusk drum" represents the end of the day, and the moment the drum sound disappears, it enters the curfew time, and it is forbidden to walk on the street without permission.

As soon as the bell rang, Chen Mu opened his eyes and got up from the bed.

The snoring of the old king next door rang for a night, and finally stopped at this time.

After washing, Chen Mu put on a gray robe, took out a brand-new ivory-colored token from his arms, hung it on his chest, and then pushed the door out and went to the courtyard to wait for Lao Wang.

He looked up at the colorful gems on the rock wall, and felt that fate was really impermanent. I was a prisoner yesterday, and today I became a member of the homeless village, I really don't know what the big boss thinks.

"Morning, Chen Mu. The old king yawned and came out of the room, with the same token on his chest. It's just that his token looks relatively old, and there are two stars on it, while Chen Mu's is blank.

"Morning, Master Wang. Chen Mu responded politely. He is now a recruit under Yang Haoyu, and Lao Wang is the partner arranged by Yang Haoyu for him, which can be regarded as a standard old and new.

"You're too polite, just call me Lao Wang. Let's go, let's go check in first, and then I'll take you around to familiarize yourself. ”

The two came to the square, where more than a thousand people had gathered, men, women and children, most of them were yellow and thin, and their clothes were also very shabby, like refugees.

There were a lot of people, but almost no one spoke, and even the children consciously lined up, went to the front in turn, and then received breakfast—the hard to swallow green mush.

"Follow me. Lao Wang took Chen Mu to bypass the crowd and came to the right side of the Juyi Hall, where there was a separate small square.

The people who came here to sign in were all fighters with tokens on their chests, and Chen Mu glanced at them roughly, and there were almost one or two hundred people.

He looked at the tokens of these people again, and found that most of them were one star, and very few were two stars.

As for the three-star ones, Chen Mu looked at them for a long time and didn't find any of them.

It seems that the strength of the nomad village is very limited, he thought.

According to Lao Wang, the stars on the token are used to indicate combat effectiveness, and they are blank at the initial stage, and only by passing the corresponding test can they be promoted.

For example, the test standard of the two-star token is set up with reference to the average combat effectiveness of the early two-star martial artists.

But even with this standard, among the combatants present, there were very few who had two-star tokens, far fewer than the wolf knights he saw when he was in Wolf Castle, and the wolf knights were at least mid-two-star cultivators.

"Chen Mu, it's time for you to sign in. ”

Lao Wang's voice interrupted Chen Mu's thoughts, and he hurriedly followed the example of the others, took off the token on his chest, and handed it to the martial artist in charge of signing in.

This person was a short and dumpty man, he took the token and flipped it to the back, with Chen Mu's personal information written on it.

"Newcomer?" The fat man raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why didn't you go to the garrison to file it, don't you know the rules?"

Chen Mu was confused, yesterday it was Yang Haoyu who personally took the formalities he did, but he didn't hear him say that he was going to go to the garrison for the record, did he forget it?

Lao Wang spoke at this time, and his tone was not good: "Hey, fat man, why didn't I know that the newcomer still had to go to the garrison to record, this is the rule set by the big boss?"

The fat man's eyes flashed, and he stiffened his neck and said: "The big boss is so busy, how can he have time to take care of these little things, this is the new rules set by the second boss in order to find out the inner ghost, do you have an opinion?"

"Hehe, the relationship between the newcomer's filing and finding out the inner ghost is a bird, anyway, we only recognize the rules set by the big boss, do you have any opinions?" Lao Wang did not back down, and as soon as he stretched out his hand after speaking, he snatched Chen Mu's token back from the fat man's hand.

The fat man was so angry that the fat on his face was trembling, and he said repeatedly: "Okay, well, since that's the case, then don't think about signing in today!"

Lao Wang rolled his eyes, threw the token back to Chen Mu, turned his head and left: "If you don't sign, you won't sign, Chen Mu, let's go, and we'll talk about it when the three masters come back." ”

Chen Mu hurriedly followed, and when he left the small square, he tentatively said: "Lao Wang, why don't I go to the garrison to make up the formalities, so as not to cause trouble for the three masters." ”

"Don't, don't go. Lao Wang hurriedly shook his head: "I'll tell you the truth, the second master and the third master have not dealt with each other, so this is not a matter of whether you make up the formalities or not, but that they deliberately use your affairs to find fault and want to disgust the third master." ”

"Oh, then, I'd better not go. When will the three masters come back, and it's not good if they don't sign in?"

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal, we still have a big boss on top of us. It's just that the third master has been reluctant to clash head-on with the second master, so let's go back and endure it for a few days, and wait for the third master to come back and see what to do about this matter. ”

So the two returned to their residences the same way, planning to endure until Yang Haoyu came back.

Unfortunately, in the afternoon of the same day, trouble came to the door.

"Bang bang bang-"

The courtyard gate was slammed, Chen Mu was practicing a getaway in the courtyard, and he had to stop at this time, but he didn't open the door rashly.

Lao Wang came out of the room, frowned and asked, "Who?"

The arrogant voice of the fat man sounded outside: "Wang Billy, why don't you hurry up and open the door, I will take Chen Mu to the garrison for investigation on the orders of the second master!"

Lao Wang's face suddenly sank, he flashed to the courtyard wall, pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and then flashed to Chen Mu's side, and said in a low voice: "There are a lot of people coming, you can't run away, let's go with them for the time being, I'll go to find the big boss——"

Before he finished speaking, the courtyard door was smashed open, and the fat man rushed in with a team of guards, and without saying a word, he held Chen Mu down.

"Take it away!" The fat man sneered: "Billy Wang, you can also go with us to assist in the investigation." ”

Whew!

Seven or eight guards drew their knives and surrounded the old king.

"You dare!" Lao Wang roared angrily, the muscles in his body suddenly thickened, and he also emitted a faint golden light, which looked really powerful.

In the next second, he actually rushed into the knife formation, fighting steel with his flesh, but he didn't fall behind at all!

It's a pity that although these guards are not his opponents alone, they can't stand the crowd, so Lao Wang has to fight and leave, trying to escape from this place first.

He gritted his teeth, the muscles of his body swelled again, and the golden light brightened a little, and then he buried his head and rushed outside, not dodging the attacks of the guards at all, but only protecting the vital points.

"Zheng Zheng—"

The steel knife slashed at Lao Wang's body, and there was a sound of gold and iron clashing, and there were even sparks splashing, which couldn't stop him at all.

Seeing that Lao Wang was about to break through the encirclement, but at this moment, a cold snort sounded outside the door.

"Hmph, the half-tone "Copper Skin Gong" is also embarrassed to use it, break it for me!"

Before the words fell, a golden light flashed into the courtyard, slammed into Lao Wang, instantly knocked him into the air, and finally smashed into the room.

"Boom-"

The house collapsed, and Lao Wang was buried in the rubble, without movement.
