Chapter 174 Look at the present day
Star City Star Clan, a super family in the Eastern Continent, one of the giants of the Star Alliance, and the owner of Star City, it is said that their ancestors fell from a star outside the sky, and that place is on the edge of Star Lake, which is now Star City.
At that time, this place was still barren, Xingzu was born with wisdom, and when he was a child, he was able to absorb the power of the stars to cultivate, so he was considered by the local tribe to be the son of the stars, he taught the local tribes in the wilderness to hunt wild beasts, new ways to catch lake fish, and was later elected as the tribal patriarch, so he took the star as his surname.
This mythical tale is widely circulated in the Eastern Continent, often appearing as a child's bedtime story, and despite the skepticism of many, the Star Clan still claims that it is the true history.
Every sixty years, when the stars are reincarnated, they hold a grand sacrifice ceremony, and at the same time distribute free wine and food in the city, inviting everyone in the star city to participate, which is one of the reasons why the legends of their ancestors are widely spread in the eastern continent, according to some learned people.
At this moment, the gatekeeper of the Star Mansion had just woken up, and there was still some time before the opening time stipulated by the Star Mansion, he yawned, picked up the kettle on the stove on the side, pushed the door open, and walked towards the well not far away, boiling water to make tea, which was the beginning of his day's work.
The gatekeeper was carrying a kettle, and just walked to the well, "Bang Bang", a rapid knock came, the gate of the Star Mansion was high and thick, the inside was heavy black rock wood, and the outside was wrapped in a layer of solid iron sheet, if you want the sound to come from outside the door to the inside, you must have a strong internal force to do it.
"Who, wait another quarter of an hour, and then the door will naturally open. The gatekeeper turned his head and said to the outside while fetching water.
His voice condensed into a bunch, passed through the tall courtyard wall, and fell into the ears of the man outside the door, while the early bird on the tree beside him, as if he had not heard it at all, still stood on the branch and chirped to himself.
The Xing clan is a high-ranking family, and all kinds of actions have rules and regulations, and loud noises are never allowed, so even the gatekeepers are masters with profound internal skills, which shows the depth of its foundation.
"I have something urgent to report!" the voice outside the door added.
"It's not okay if there's something urgent, as long as the sky doesn't fall, you can't delay the big thing for a while. The gatekeeper's voice was faint, as if he had seen through the vicissitudes of life.
In fact, since he became the gatekeeper of this star mansion, although his cultivation has not made any progress, he thinks that his state of mind has improved greatly, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is "not shocked by humiliation, and watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court".
Over the years, he has encountered countless things, big and small, and his biggest feeling is that no matter what happens, he must not lose the bearing of a big family, and he must not panic, and his face does not change when the mountain collapses in front of him, this is the quality that a son of a star should have, and it is also the background of the family that is truly superior to other nouveau riche.
Therefore, if he ignores the rules of the Star Mansion and lets this person in outside, no matter whether it is right or wrong, he will not get a reward, and the only possible thing is punishment.
The messenger from outside argued a few more words, but the gatekeeper said nothing and did not open the door, and finally there was no sound altogether.
The messenger was so angry that he stomped his feet outside the door: "He's a horse, these high-ranking families just have a lot of, Lao Tzu tried his best to come and deliver the news for you, but I didn't expect to eat a closed door." ”
He is a congenital master, the leader of the fourth chair in the brotherhood, where has he ever received such a gas on weekdays: "It's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree, that's really true, a dog guarding the door in his mother's Xingfu can put up a shelf for Lao Tzu, look at his face, I'm bah!"
As the janitor said, after about a quarter of an hour, the door slowly opened, and the person who opened the door was not only the janitor, but also a young man, whose martial arts were also good, and the two did not push the door open directly, but each moved a pole frame and opened the door through the mechanism.
There was a slow and loud "creaking" sound when the gate rotated, "The door is so strong, what's the use of making so many tricks? The light skill master can't just jump over, if he encounters a powerful warlock, I'm afraid this gate will be scrapped with one blow!" The messenger secretly said indignantly, and his contempt for the people of Xingfu deepened a little.
"Now I can report the news, right?"
"No, what kind of place is Xingfu? You think it's your house, you can enter if you want?" the old man looked at the sturdy middle-aged man in front of him with disdain, "I don't know where the barbarians came from, and I don't understand the rules at all." He said secretly.
"You ......" The messenger was deflated twice in a row today, and couldn't help but be angry, but fortunately, he didn't lose his mind, and thought clearly about his current situation in time, "This is Xingfu, the master is like a cloud, and he must endure it." ”
I have to say that a big reason why he can only be the fourth-in-command in the brotherhood is because he is too shallow and easy to get hot-blooded, but he can gradually mix from a homeless child to today's status in a place like Xiacheng, which is also because he can wake up in time and dare to bow his head.
"Then what should I do if I want to report to the city lord in an emergency? I really have something very important, by the way, I'm Zhang Peng from the Brotherhood in Xiacheng District. ”
"Brotherhood? You have changed leaders? I remember it used to be a red-eyed man who came here. The janitor did not answer Zhang Peng's question directly, but looked at him with a look of great interest.
"Damn, if he can come, where will I still be angry with you here!" Zhang Peng thought of this incident and didn't fight in one place, Mo Feng has a strong control over the brotherhood, although there are six masters in the meeting, but in fact it is Mo Feng's Yiyantang, and he has never been a fake person for such a major event as contacting the City Lord's Mansion.
In fact, the Brotherhood rarely takes the initiative to contact the City Lord's Mansion, and on weekdays, it is mainly the City Lord's Mansion that sends people to explain them to do something.
Zhang Peng was full of anger at this time, but he forgot that when Mo Feng sent his cronies to ask him to contact the City Lord's Mansion this time, his excitement was overflowing - this is a great opportunity to make friends with upper-level people, don't look at him He is also a congenital master, but in the eyes of the real big forces, it is not much different from the ants on the side of the road.
"Boss Mo, he was entangled in trouble, and he couldn't tell the difference, so he asked me to come to the house to report the letter. "Complaining is complaining, how to say Zhang Peng is still very clear.
"Well, since you're from the Brotherhood, wait here for now, and I'll send you a message to Deacon Feng, who is in charge of contacting your Brotherhood. ”
"Damn, this Mo Feng doesn't make things clear, such a critical information can be leaked, and Lao Tzu wastes so much tongue!" But he didn't know that it was not easy for Mo Feng to convey the most critical information.
