Two thousand two hundred and fifty years, spring, the demon beast siege the city, gather the north and south, the soldiers died countless battles, the people suffered heavy casualties, the city was ruined, the Xuanzhen Guan sent the immortals to save the people in the dire straits, the immortals spells were superb, the heaven and earth nets, the divine spell was wonderful, one day and one night, the demon beasts were all destroyed, and the Tiansui city had to survive, so far the descendants of the Tiansui Dynasty will always be precious to the immortals, and they will be respected for all generations.

- "The Chronicles of the Heavenly Castle"

The city lord led a cadre of civil and military forces in the Yong'an Palace, knelt down to thank the immortals, and gave the mortal treasures, the immortals went, and left a message: "You and other mortal cities, also belong to my immortal family, although they are the lower clans, they can not be annihilated and extinct forever, in order to keep their peace forever, you can choose ten outstanding young people in the city, go to the Xuanzhen Temple to practice immortal arts, and wait to build the foundation and practice the Tao, you can return to the human city to guard it." ”

City lord Li Zhihong was grateful, knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "The gods are very gracious, we dare not forget the city for generations, when the city chronicles are recorded, let future generations remember, and the ancestral hall should also be set up, and worship with incense forever, the heavenly age is here, the ancestral hall is here!"

In Tiansui City, the Yong'an Hall was dull and almost suffocated.

The city lord Li Zhihong, sitting on the throne of the king, wearing a fox fur and a velvet crown on his head, looked at the full hall of civil and military affairs with an almost indifferent gaze, pondering silently, and looking at him somewhat in the hall at this time.

In the center of the Yong'an Hall, at this time, there were three middle-aged generals who were half-kneeling, all three of them were wearing battle robes, holding swords, and the helmets had been removed and placed on their sides, with a half-step posture, especially the person in the middle, with the most meritorious medals on his chest, it can be seen that he was the highest official among the three, and he looked at Li Zhihong's gaze, adding two points of rebelliousness and hostility.

An old wizard stood up from among the ministers, bowed to everyone, and then shouted: "This time I am fighting with the demon beasts in my Tiansui year, the people are displaced, the army has suffered heavy casualties, and now the southeast is sending troops to the demon clan, and the situation in the southwest is severe. Therefore, the witch official of Tiansui City, Shangguan Yu, supported the view of the city lord, selected the children of the people, and entered the Xuanzhen Cultivation Dao. ”

"Hmph! Whichever family you eat, you naturally look at the door of that house. The general in the center sneered, "Shangguan is confused, you are not a member of my Tiansui clan, but you will favor one over the other and select the children of the people, is it possible that my Tian-year-old prince and general will have no descendants?

Yan Yan, the second-level general of Tiansui City, was furious when he heard this, and the big knife in his hand was raised violently, carrying it heavily on his shoulder, and shouted: "Ling Hujia, my Yan He was a straw bun back then, but I want to ask for advice and learn how powerful you are after the general!"

"Yan Qi, you have this heart, and this general is also looking forward to your advice!" Ling Hujia heard this, his face turned hideous, Huo Ran stood up, and was about to rush out, but fortunately he was stopped by the two generals beside him, which saved him from a dispute.

However, the person on the left side of the Linghu armor grabbed the Linghu armor and shouted at Li Zhihong: "City Lord, you want to select cultivators throughout the city, and where are the generals in the army! If the subordinates are not convinced, if the general is here, he will definitely not agree!"

"Milling cutter, you are presumptuous! You dare to shout at the city lord, you are trying to rebel!" Yan Qi rushed to the front of the milling cutter, and was about to draw the knife, this scene immediately attracted an uproar in the whole hall to dissuade him.

Seeing this, Ling Hujia, Milling Knife and another general were willing to retreat, and the three of them moved forward side by side, Ling Hujia took a few steps forward, pointed at Yan Qi's nose and shouted: "What are you, Tiansui City is not your turn to call the shots!"

As he spoke, the three of them pulled out their swords sonorously, and the cold light filled the hall, directly aiming at the bronze ring big golden knife of Yan Qiang!

All the civil and military people knelt in the hall, and most of them were silent, while the rest of the people were divided into two groups, one group of admonishment: "Please change the city lord's life, select the children of the nobles, and take the heart of the courtiers!"

The rest are-for-tat: "The city lord must not change his orders overnight, so that the people are cold, and the people of the world are equal!"

The momentum is the same as fire and water, and the whole temple is divided.

Li Zhihong may be too tired, he can't help but hold his chest and cough low, this scene also fell in the eyes of everyone, his voice did not have the slightest emotion: "This selection is only based on the principle of survival of the fittest, in the end, whoever is stronger will win, and the soldiers will not tire of cheating." ”

"Soldiers are not tired of cheating" The four words were said, and the civil and military forces in the palace fell silent for a while, and everyone was thinking in their hearts, this soldier is not tired of cheating, but how much deep meaning is hidden, is it possible, all conspiracies and tricks can be used unscrupulously?

The milling cutter suddenly stood up and shouted: "My subordinates hope that the city lord will take back his order, and wait for the general to come back from the Xuanzhen Immortal Temple, and then make a decision." ”

Countless eyes stared at the milling cutter, and no one could tell how many thoughts were hidden behind these complicated eyes, but Li Zhihong didn't look at him more, but just replied lightly: "General Milling Cutter, the city lord of Tiansui City today, am me or Wang Mang?"

The milling cutter replied respectfully: "Tiansui City Lord, today is naturally the City Lord." ”

Li Zhihong stood up with a trembling body and said, "Since it is me, my words are military orders, what should those who violate military orders do?"

Yan Yan took a step forward and shouted: "Tiansui City's military order, if you violate the city lord's order, you will be killed." ”

Milling cutter lowered his head, no one could see his face and eyes clearly, and he replied on his knees: "Your subordinates must obey the orders of the city lord." ”

The Yong'an Hall knelt down in the dark, and the crowd chanted: "Follow the orders of the city lord, the sky is the same as the sky!"

After a catastrophe, Tiansui City finally gradually became peaceful, although there was a desolate scene, but after time, everything would always return to the original.

On a certain street in the early morning, the people who rushed to the market gathered here, but there was also a lot of liveliness, especially in front of the stone tablet where the government issued a notice.

"Hey, look, what are they doing, so lively?" Xu Fatzi shouted curiously with a pile of paper money in his hand, which also aroused the interest of other teenagers, and they all drove ducks to join in the fun in front of the stone monument.

"Hey, hey, you're dead! You guys who make money from the dead are here to make a lot of fun, stay where it's cool!" cried the woman with a bucket of waist.

"Why can't we watch it, dare to love this road is opened by you?" Xu Fatzi jumped up angrily and retorted sharply.

Another young man said with a smile on his face: "Auntie, do you want to burn paper money for you, it's free, just as our toll." ”

"You're so fucking careful to burn yourself to death!" the bucket-waisted woman scolded and fled, and she was really afraid, if these little ruffians were really enthusiastic about burning a piece of paper money and sprinkling some money on themselves, they would be unlucky for eight lifetimes!

Shi Xiaoyi took Yao Xiaochuan's arm, as if the soles of his feet were oiled, grabbed a gap, and squeezed in front of the bulletin board.

The official who issued the notice smiled: "You little dolls, but they are all very young, I think, if any of you can tell what this notice says, I will give him a special opportunity to avoid an interview!"

Xu Fatzi hurriedly shouted: "Yo! Isn't this a God-given opportunity for our God of Wealth, what words in the world are there that the God of Wealth doesn't know?"

The spectators naturally didn't understand what he meant by the God of Wealth, and the official looked at Xu Fatzi's hesitant appearance, and said happily: "You little fat man, if you know the words on it, I will let you go directly to the finals in three days!"

"Boat, hurry up, this is a good opportunity for the Bodhisattva to bless you!" Xu Fatzi made a fuss, and with the strength of everyone, he pushed Yao Xiaochuan in front of the official.

The official smiled and teased Yao Xiaozhou: "I said little doll, you are the God of Wealth who knows everything in the world as he said? If you deceive everyone, then you have to be dragged out for the demon beast to eat, you ask you, do you really know these words?"

"Ahh Shi Xiaoyi bumped his arm and asked him, "Don't be afraid, where do I dare to eat you here?" You can tell them clearly now, you can read these words with your eyes closed. ”

"Oh, I know what I know. Yao Xiaochuan suddenly realized, nodded shyly, looked at the notice with a pair of clear eyes, and read:

"Now my Tiansui city suffered a great disaster, the people were killed and injured countless times, the city collapsed and fell, fortunately the immortals were benevolent and righteous, save me from the age of the day, now the city lord thinks about the strategy, feel that the country is not strong can not survive forever, the people are not good enough to live, so put a notice, notify the whole city, but all the young people under the age of fifteen, strong and intelligent, you can pass the interview in the Wufeng Ridge to participate in the finals, with martial arts on success or failure, the strongest, when it is expected to enter the Xuanzhen Immortal Temple, practice the supreme immortal law, and wait for the future Dao Law to be successful, return to my Tiansui City, forever bless me Tiansui good health, long live Tiansui, and the same age as the sky！”

"Wow!" Hearing this, the audience suddenly became noisy, Xu Fatzi and others praised Yao Xiaochuan as a genius, and the other spectators were very lucky, to be able to enter the mansion of immortals, to practice the legendary spell of soaring clouds and mist, that is really a luxury that mortals can hope for for several lifetimes.

"Xuanzhenguan, you can't be mistaken?" Shi Xiaoyi's face was gloomy at some point, and he grabbed Yao Xiaozhou's arm and asked in a low voice.

Yao Xiaozhou shook his head and replied, "It's the Xuanzhen View, I can't be wrong." ”

This affirmative answer made Shi Xiaoyi speechless, Xuanzhenguan, isn't this the place he carefully planned to go?

Shi Xiaoyi's hand clenched into a fist, and in his eyes, such a compelling essence flashed again.

"Okay! You little doll is really smart, then you have to tell the official messenger, which family you were a child before, why are you like a street gangster now?" The official messenger was also read aloud by Yao Xiaozhou, and was startled, and when he came back to his senses, he first laughed and praised, and then frowned and asked him.

Yao Xiaochuan was asked by this, and replied in a low voice like a mosquito: "I, I don't have a father, these words were all learned from the young master before, the young master is good, he has taught me a lot of words, but this time they all, they were all captured by demon beasts, and I couldn't find any of them." ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh, and the official patted Yao Xiaozhou's shoulder, also full of helplessness and sympathy, and nodded: "Alas, it's also a poor child, then are you willing to participate in this selection competition? This is a great opportunity to get ahead!"

"Don't. Yao Xiaozhou blinked, looking dazed, but his mouth replied without thinking.

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted angry exclamations from the audience.

"Ah! A thug is a thug, and he doesn't even know how to grasp such an opportunity, alas, there is no salvation in the end. Someone sighed.

There are also jokes: "Then he is self-aware, knowing that there is no play, why bother doing it!"

Shi Xiaoyi's eyes were deep, his eyes looked at Yao Xiaozhou, and suddenly came to his ear and persuaded: "Xiaozhou, this is a good thing, being able to go to the place of immortals to practice martial arts, this is a blessing that cannot be cultivated in several lifetimes, why don't we go together, you go, I will sign up immediately, and when our brothers become stronger, we will go to fight demon beasts!"

Yao Xiaozhou frowned and said: "Why should I practice martial arts, I don't want to kill demon beasts, I really like to live in the temple with you now." ”

"Xiaochuan, have you forgotten, how did your young master leave you? That's because of the demon beasts, if we don't have martial arts, we can't protect the young master, we can only watch them being eaten by the demon beasts, we go to practice martial arts for others, not for ourselves. Shi Xiaoyi looked at Yao Xiaochuan's eyes very seriously, and persuaded again.

Yao Xiaochuan looked at Shi Xiaoyi's eyes, and he was also very serious, and he asked coldly: "You really want to go, right?"

Shi Xiaoyi nodded heavily and said, "If you don't go, then I can only go alone." ”

Yao Xiaochuan never thought that Shi Xiaoyi's words could set off a monstrous wave in his heart, and when Shi Xiaoyi said "If you don't go, then I can only go alone", fear and despair overwhelmed his mind in an instant.

He looked at Shi Xiaoyi's eyes, Shi Xiaoyi's eyes were so firm and resolute, it seemed that even if the knife was on his neck, he would never be able to change Shi Xiaoyi's decision at this moment. Somehow, a cloud rose in Yao Xiaochuan's heart, full of reluctance and sadness, and he asked again: "Really, I went, and you went too?"

"Could it be that you want to become a big master by yourself, leave me here and continue to be a gangster?" You think it's beautiful!" The corners of Shi Xiaoyi's mouth slowly outlined a long smile, patting Yao Xiaozhou's shoulder, although he was laughing, that kind of smile always made people feel a little chilling.

"Then, where you go, I will go too. Yao Xiaozhou looked at Shi Xiaoyi's smile, and the cold in his heart was like falling into the middle of winter, but wherever he goes, he will always protect himself, isn't he? Turning around, Yao Xiaozhou nodded heavily towards the official and said with a smile: "Lord Guancha, then I want to go, I also want to give it a try." ”

"Okay!" The original disappointment of the official was suddenly replaced by a great spirit, looking around, and loudly advocating: "If you want to sign up, hurry up, the number of places is limited, you don't wait for the obsolete time, don't come if you are crooked, don't come, come in vain!"

As soon as these words fell, Xu Fatzi led everyone but quickly withdrew, only to hear him shout in the crowd: "It's a pity, it's a pity, I'm sixteen years old, and I'm not qualified! The boss and Xiaochuan participated in the selection, and none of us as brothers can compete with them, do you all understand?"

Where do the people care about this, the tide rushed over, quickly drowning Xu Fatzi, and heard someone shouting: "Damn the child, why don't you hurry up and bring the child, anyway, as long as he is less than fifteen years old, you have to let him sign up for the competition! What if it happens?"
