Chapter 36: In front of the Iron Sword Gate

"There are ten miles in the city, there are people who are not strong enough to have feet, they always have to rent horses, but next to the official road, there are occasionally a group of officials dressed in yellow armor, if they are beckoned to intercept, they must stop as soon as possible to accept the interrogation, remember not to provoke, but like you and so on, you don't have to worry too much, if you ride a horse chariot, then you have to be very careful, once the yellow armor official sent to stop the interception, the light is tattooed silver filial piety ten taels, the heavy is to seize the vehicle horses, that is the city of the horse transport division yamen, in charge of the waterway horse tax and silver collection, but the city of the three major difficulties。 The defender of the city always seemed to be suffering from it, and he wrote on his face that he had palpitations.

"The Yamen of the Cao Ma Transport Division is in charge of the Cao Yun boats and riding chariots, and we and other passers-by should not be under the jurisdiction, why should we be so careful?" Li Yuanqing wondered in his heart.

"Hmph, if you are an official, you can do it yourself!" Seeing that Li Yuanqing was suspicious, the city guard had a sense of disgust in his heart, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the poor sour boy in the countryside in front of him.

"Thank you for the guidance of the military master, the villain must keep it in mind, just be careful when entering the city. Li Yuanqing said respectfully and obediently.

"Well, the kid knows some etiquette, although this outfit is a little poorer, but there are some demeanor, which is rare!" This city guard always does not hesitate to praise words, half of which is from the heart, and half of it is a piece of broken silver in his arms.

After resigning from the general manager of the city, Li Yuanqing asked a few porters along the way, and then chose the trail and the mountain road, for fear that if he accidentally stepped onto the official road, he would inevitably encounter a powerless situation of advancing and retreating, and being squeezed to the death.

I finally saw it from afar, densely packed with green tile cornices, occasionally huge chimneys emitting curling green smoke, listening carefully to the noisy sound of dancing and music, so prosperous! Getting closer and closer, there are actually three and five stories of high-rise buildings, and the birds on the roof ridge flutter their wings, and they want to break through the air, and it is extremely difficult to think of such a tall building to put tiles, and it is also unusual for the craftsman who built the high-rise buildings to be built.

Full of longing and awe, Li Yuanqing carefully took every step. The Iron Sword Gate is the largest Jianghu sect in the entire Nanguang County, and it does not need to go through a few twists and turns, according to the guidance of passers-by, Li Yuanqing finally found the Iron Sword Gate that may be able to change the fate of his life.

Three feet of the door wall, the green tile and red wall are majestic, the door post four tigers stand on the dragon plate, the auspicious clouds are lifelike, look up carefully, the top of the four door posts are carved a huge sword, straight down the stab, is about to break the dragon and tiger auspicious clouds on the door post, sharply increased a bit of ferociousness.

In the middle of the gate hangs a six-foot-long red lacquered wooden plaque, and the three gilded characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing: Iron Sword Gate. Under the plaque two huge agarwood doors, exude bursts of fragrance, the huge door nails on the door are golden and not majestic, the left side of the gate is vertically hung on the upper link "the vast force of the south to subdue the tiger descends the dragon", and the right side is vertically hung on the lower link "Gubang Iron Sword Town Guarding Xiongguan". Although it is not neat and vulgar, it adds a bit of pride to such a Jianghu sect, and it does not lose its façade.

Li Yuanqing thought of this life, if he wanted to be free from the suffering of poverty and destituteness, if he wanted to get rid of the pitiful situation of "I am a fish and a man", only the iron sword gate in front of him was the only way to live, and he sighed lightly, full of sighs. Suddenly gritted his teeth again, if you want to become the enemy of ten thousand people, you must be determined to learn, Li Yuanqing swore in a low voice: "Enter from this door today, regardless of the hardships and difficulties, you must learn a skill, if you can't learn the martial arts of the ten thousand enemies, even if you go out of this door, you will only be a corpse!"

Li Yuanqing tidied up the clothes on his body, strode forward, grabbed the door knocker, and slammed the majestic and huge red lacquer agarwood door hard.

"Knock knock!

Li Yuanqing was very excited in his heart, this door that changed the fate of his life was about to open, what kind of world would be behind this huge door? Who would open the door?

The door was opened by a young man dressed in a black tight-fitting practice uniform, with a strip of red cloth wrapped around his forehead and a cyan sword embroidered in the center, which was extremely small but extremely eye-catching.

"Who are you, dare to trespass on the Iron Sword Gate!" the young man in black glanced at Li Yuanqing's clothes and asked loudly unceremoniously.

"Brother Shangyu, the kid asks to see the Iron Sword Sect Master!" Li Yuanqing leaned over and bowed, clasping his fists and saluting.

"Hehe, where did you come from, a poor country boy, dare to show off Sven in front of the Iron Sword Gate, just because you also want to see my master, even if I and other outer disciples rarely see the face of the master of the door several times a year, it seems that people like you also want to see the master of my family, it's a joke, hurry up and get out of me!" After laughing, the young man in black actually raised his leg is kick, Li Yuanqing's body flew out of the door three feet lightly, this young man is really vigorous, but a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy can have such leg strength.

Li Yuanqing fell to the ground heavily, and could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and scolded: "You are just a watchdog, you have eaten the leftovers of rich and noble families for a few years, why do you look down on people, today I am here to find your master, Zhao Keming! Zhao Keming! You come out for me!"

The young man in black was about to go out and use his hands and feet again, to teach the poor Li Yuanqing in front of him a good lesson, and he didn't want Li Yuanqing to splash and shout the name of the door owner, but he was frightened for a while, and he didn't dare to move half a step again.

Li Yuanqing also has a plan in his heart, that old man is strong in martial arts, since he recommended himself to come to this iron sword gate and said it well, he wants to have a lot to do with this Zhao Keming, although these shouts are rude, but they have nothing to do with the overall situation, but the young man's martial arts in front of him are not weak, if he begs hard, he will only suffer more in vain, if he doesn't have to use some means to come today, it may be difficult to see the high-ranking master Zhao Keming.

"Who's making a noise outside the door!" the voice fell, and a polite boy of fifteen or sixteen years old walked out. The young man was dressed in white, his long hair was casually draped behind him, his sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, and his heroic posture made Li Yuanqing, who was under the steps outside the door, feel humble and ashamed in his heart, and he didn't dare to look directly at him, so he had to lower his head a point.

"Senior Brother Lin, this little beggar actually wanted to ask to see the door master, and after I asked him, he actually sprinkled nonsense outside the door, and even the door owner's name was offended by this kid, and asked the senior brother to decide. The black-clothed young man immediately changed his face, no longer had the arrogance he had before, and said in a very flattering manner.

"Who are you?" asked the young man in white casually, but there was a sense of majesty in his words. Li Yuanqing involuntarily replied: "I am Li Yuanqing from Wude Town, I want to ask to see the Iron Sword Sect Master!"

"What do you want to see my father?" This young man turned out to be the son of the Iron Sword Sect Master, which really frightened Li Yuanqing.

"I was entrusted by a senior to bring a message to the Iron Sword Sect Master. Li Yuanqing pretended to be mysterious and said.

"Wait here, then, and let me present to my father, and ask him to see you. Seeing Li Yuanqing so mysterious and solemn, the young man didn't dare to slack off, turned around and was about to leave, and did not forget to tell the young man in black: "In the future, all guests who come to the door will not matter who they are, and they must be courteous for several weeks." Although he spoke softly, the young man in black was frightened and hurriedly promised: "Senior Brother Lin has taught you a lesson, remember it in your heart, and don't dare to forget it!"
