Jiang Fan and the old man holding the mule walked for about a cup of tea and came to the next notice at the east gate of the city.

At this moment, a table and chair were placed beneath the notice, and a person resembling an account book sat on it. At the moment, he is crossing Erlang's legs, and he is holding a leaf in his mouth that he picked up from nowhere, looking at the sky in a bored daze.

There were dozens of errand soldiers standing on both sides, all of them standing listlessly, until Jiang Fan and the old man with the mule approached the account books.

The old man grabbed in front of Jiang Fan and said, "My nephew wants to cultivate immortals, so I brought it over." ”

Jiang Fan heard the old man's words, nodded, and at the same time looked around curiously, and said secretly in his heart: "It was such a good thing to cultivate immortals, why is the registration office so simple?"

Jiang Fan's eyes inadvertently glanced at the open registration book on the table, and it seemed that there were few people registering. Jiang Fan's eyes immediately looked at the distance casually, and passers-by nearby were also looking at Jiang Fan differently.

Jiang Fan was also helpless in his heart, he didn't have a copper plate on his body, and there were still two flatbreads in the package. If you don't solve the problem of food and clothing today, you can only sleep in the open at night.

Jiang Fan looked at the account books under the notice of the city wall and the surrounding officers, and felt bitter in his heart.

"Judging by the clothes and dresses, it should be a government staff, no matter what, you can't kill yourself without a king. As long as you give food first, don't let yourself sleep on the street. And listening to the whispers of the old man and the account book, it seems that there is really such a thing as cultivating immortals!" Jiang Fan thought to himself.

After a while, the account book beckoned two messengers to come and calmly said, "Take it to the camp." At the same time, he gave the two officers a knowing look.

Then the two officers and soldiers walked out of the city with Jiang Fan one after the other.

Jiang Fan was surprised, and looked back at the old man when he passed by the city gate.

At this time, the old man was holding a small canvas bag in his hand. There was a sound of copper coins colliding inside, and the mule was returning the way it came.

Jiang Fan didn't stop him, nor did he resist. Because he knew that even if he stopped the old man, it was meaningless, he had no relatives and no reason in this unfamiliar place, so he could only take one step at a time.

On the way. Jiang Fan tried to find out some valuable news from the two messengers, but every time he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the messengers:

"Say anything, go quickly. If there is any problem, you will know it in place. ”

Jiang Fan was helpless, at this moment, he was like Song Jiang escorted by two officers and soldiers in the Water Margin. The only difference is that he is not handcuffed and shackled, and his face is not tattooed.

After walking for about an hour, the three of them finally came to a military camp that resembled a makeshift barracks. Jiang Fan looked at the neatly arranged tents and the soldiers patrolling in armor and spears, and a sense of security permeated his heart.

At all times, a soldier always gives people a sense of security. At the same time, Jiang Fan sighed in his heart: "I almost thought that I would be sold to the Western Regions or the old kiln like in the TV series!"

Walking to the gate of the camp, one of the officers walked up to the soldier on duty and took out his edict and handed it to the soldier, who checked that it was correct and waved his hand, allowing the two officers to return to the city on their own.

One of the soldiers walked up to Jiang Fan and motioned for Jiang Fan to follow him.

The two came to a tent that was several times wider than an ordinary tent and told Jiang Fan: "You will rest here for the past few days, and someone will bring you daily necessities every day." At the same time, I remind you that the barracks are heavy, and don't take half a step out of the tent at will, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

After the soldiers who led the way left, Jiang Fan walked into the tent in surprise.

The tent was empty, only dozens of simple beds, three or four of which were lying on the door, and they were also looking at Jiang Fan at the same time.

One of them, a thin old man in his fifties, said lazily to Jiang Fan, "Young man, why did you come here?"

Jiang Fan stood at the door, neither advancing nor retreating, so he could only stand in place and stubbornly say to the thin old man lying on the bed:

"I heard that there are immortals recruiting soldiers in Yunfeng City, so I came here to see if I have an immortal fate. ”

The thin old man smiled mockingly, and said loudly: "The fairy fate of bullshit." We've all been deceived, we've all been deceived!"

The thin old man roared like mad as he spoke! The rest of the people lying on the bed also looked angry and couldn't help but clench their fists.

After a while, the thin old man calmed down a little and said to Jiang Fan: "Don't stand still, just find a bed and sit down." You are also a poor person, you should have been sold, but you don't know it!"

At this time, Jiang Fan was already frightened by the old man's actions, and subconsciously walked to the bed far away from the old man, and then thought about it

Although the old man reacted aggressively, and should have a slight mental illness, he still seemed to be relatively easy to speak. Why don't you take the opportunity to talk about it, as long as you are careful, there should be no danger!"

Thinking about it, Jiang Fan found a bed close to the thin old man, sat on the bed, opened the package, took out the only two flatbreads left from it, took out one and handed it to the thin old man and asked at the same time:

"Uncle, why do you say that I have been deceived?

The thin old man looked at the big cake handed to him, put it aside casually, sighed and said to Jiang Fan:

"Boy, don't call me uncle, my surname is Zhao, everyone who knows me calls me Lao Zhao, you can also call me Lao Zhao. Then Lao Zhao began to tell some of the things he knew.

It turned out that outside, the existence of the immortals had long been confirmed. They move mountains and reclaim the sea, scatter beans into soldiers. There is also an immortal method of being born and immortal.

Immortals, that is the existence that all mortals look up to. Many aspiring young people climb mountains and mountains to find the footprints of immortals. But in the end, there were very few people who succeeded in worshipping the immortal gate.

Just last year, a rumor circulated among the people. Immortals recruited mortals on a large scale in many large cities.

These immortals have high mana, swallowing clouds and spitting mist, and flying with swords. It attracted the yearning of many mortals and signed up one after another. What's more, they abandon their families and careers to pursue the so-called way of eternal life.

But hearing is false, and seeing is believing. At that time, there were still not many people in Tianchi City who believed the ethereal rumors.

But just four months ago, the city lord of Tianchi City passed down an edict that in the near future, there will be Dao immortals who will come to Tianchi City to recruit disciples, which makes Tianchi City instantly explode.

Two days later, there were really more than a dozen immortals stepping on the fairy light and descending from the sky, each wearing a magic robe and a fairy wind bone.

In an instant, there was an endless stream of people who signed up, and in just two days, at least more than 100,000 young and strong men in Tianchi City were taken away.

This is still a rule that only adult males under the age of 35 are admitted, otherwise the number of applicants will be hundreds of thousands.

After this recruitment, a few families were happy and a few were sad.

Some people played gongs and sang because the heirs of the family were chosen, and feasted on them. And some families are ruined because the only pillar of the family is pursuing the so-called fairy way.

For a while, Tianchi City was so lively in a weird atmosphere.

But in the past two months, the immortals have come again, and this time they are still recruiting mortals into the immortal gate. But at this time, the people of Tianchi City felt that something was wrong.

It's only been two months since they came to recruit people again, but last time they left more than 100,000 people! What about them! Could they all have successfully entered the immortal register! When did cultivating immortals become so simple? Many questions lingered in the hearts of the people.

The number of applicants this time is far from what they saw when they were recruited last time. There were even brave women who loudly questioned the immortals from a distance about where their family members were and whether they were okay.

The immortals also frowned. In the end, it was decided to relax the requirements to allow both men and women under the age of 40 to apply.

But even so, the number of people who signed up was far less than the last time. The immortals stayed for half a month before leaving with a little satisfaction!

Just half a month after the second recruitment, news came from other cities. It turns out that the so-called recruitment of mortals into the Immortal Dao is a big scam!

The immortals only regarded mortals as two-legged sheep that charged forward in war, and said that they were used to restrain the enemy's wide range of spells.

This remark stirred up a thousand waves, and those mortal families who had gone to pursue the immortal path exploded for a while, and they went to the City Lord's Mansion that night to ask for an explanation, but they were blocked by an inexplicable transparent formation outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

But the people were unwilling to do so, and most of them did not leave, but stopped outside the city lord's mansion, hoping that the city lord could give an explanation.

As time passed, the people outside the city lord's mansion gathered more and more.

In the early hours of the next morning. A large number of heavily armed soldiers poured into Tianchi City to maintain order.

And a major event happened in the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord Luo Lei personally appeared, stepped into the void and walked out of the formation and walked towards the sky. Behind the city lord Lolei was followed by four generals in armor.

The city lord stood high in the sky and looked down at the people below, and said coldly:

"Those who participated in the first two trips to Xianmen can receive three copper coins from each family, and each family is exempt from taxes for ten years. ”

City Lord Lolei paused, and continued: "The third recruitment begins! The recruitment location is set up at the east city gate, and anyone who signs up can receive five copper coins! Each family is exempt from taxes for fifteen years!"

After speaking, the city lord returned to the palace with the four generals. At the same time, those who are not satisfied with the reply of the city lord and make trouble are left to the army to suppress!
