On all four sides of Xiaogu Mountain, a large area of flat land has been dug out by hand, and the deacon hall, law enforcement hall, scripture pavilion and iron sword platform have been built respectively. The deacon's hall is located directly west of the mountainside of Little Lonely Mountain.

The Deacon Hall is responsible for managing the affairs and distribution of the inner and outer disciples of the entire Iron Sword Alliance, and is also responsible for dealing with the gang forces and government forces in the outside world. The Law Enforcement Hall is responsible for dealing with disciples who have violated the gang rules. The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is a place to collect all kinds of sword and internal exercises, and in the courtyard of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, there is also a library that teaches various basic knowledge to beginners. The Iron Sword Platform is the place where the inner disciples of the Iron Sword League usually practice.

When Wu Yan and Zhang Tao entered the courtyard of the deacon hall with high spirits, they met many young disciples with surprised faces along the way.

Although the two kept bending down and shouting for their senior brother, they were also very happy. Wu Yan was naturally happier, he finally didn't have to worry about food and clothing anymore. Even, as long as the table is good, he can still receive silver every month in the future. As long as he saves up the money he receives every month, takes time to go down the mountain, and finds his family, he can use the money to settle them well.

Thinking of this, how could Wu Yan not be happy.

Walking into the courtyard of the deacon's hall, the two saw a lot of young disciples, coming in and out, looking very hurried, both a little envious and a little expectant.

There are two rows of stone houses built against the hill in the courtyard. The two of them shrunk their heads into the deacon hall, only to see a chubby young man in brocade inside, chatting with a few deacon disciples there.

The young man in brocade clothes is Wang Feng, who has bullied Wu Yan twice in a row. When he saw Wu Yan and Zhang Tao walking in together, his face was stunned, and when he saw Wu Yan's appearance clearly, his face showed an incredible expression.

Wang Feng has a relationship with his brother Wang Bai, so he doesn't have to participate in the assessment. He just pretended to be a full-fledged disciple along the way. As for whether he will become an inner disciple or an outer disciple in the future, it doesn't matter, and he still needs to undergo a half-year swordsmanship study and assessment. Only after passing the final assessment can you become an inner disciple, worship under those high-level people in the gang, become a true disciple, and enjoy higher treatment. As for those who did not pass the guò assessment, they could only become outer disciples and go down the mountain to help take care of the business of the Iron Sword League in the towns of Guxian County.

Zhang ...... Zhang Tao, why did you go up the mountain with this stinky beggar? Didn't we make an appointment to go up the mountain together yesterday, why did you miss the appointment today?"

Zhang Tao scratched his head and said honestly: "I just want to join the Iron Sword Alliance with my true ability, and I don't want to rely on my second uncle's relationship." ”

Wang Feng's fat face was a little embarrassed. Zhang Tao's words obviously made him feel that he was laughing at him for not coming in with real skills. But because of the identity of Zhang Tao's second uncle, he didn't dare to attack, so he could only smile awkwardly.

When the disciples of the Deacon Hall saw the bronze medal in their hands held by Wu Yan and the two of them, they knew that they were the introductory disciples of the Xintong Guò assessment. One of the long-faced young men seemed to recognize Zhang Tao and smiled at him: "Zhang Tao, good boy, are you finally willing to go up the mountain?"

Zhang Tao rubbed his hands together and smiled: "Hehe, Senior Brother Feng, let's meet again." ”

"You are also a new disciple, what's your name?" the long-faced young man looked at Wu Yan and asked.

"Hello Senior Brother Feng, my name is Wu Yan, and this is my disciple token. Uncle Zhang said that the new disciples should come here to report and listen to your arrangements. Wu Yan followed the example of the other disciples with a little restraint, and replied with a salute to the disciples of the deacon hall.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you, a stinky begging person, to pass the guò assessment, don't you use any improper means to get in, right?" Without waiting for Senior Brother Feng to ask again, Wang Feng paced up to Wu Yan, covered his nose, and said in a weird manner.

"The young master relied on his own pair of feet, a warm blood, and an upright pass to join the Iron Sword Alliance. Unlike some people, they can only join this alliance through the back door and through connections. Wu Yan was insulted and even kicked and beaten by Wang Feng several times, and when he heard his insulting words again, he couldn't help but ridicule him.

Anyway, now he is also an official disciple of the Iron Sword Alliance, even if Wang Feng came in through the back door through the back door, he is just a formal disciple, the identities of the two are the same now, why should he be afraid of Wang Feng?

Wang Feng didn't expect Wu Yan to dare to fight back, and those deacon disciples didn't expect that Wu Yan, who looked shrunk and honest, would dare to contradict Wang Feng, and they all looked at him with an interesting face.

Wang Feng stretched out his hand and pushed Wu Yan, pushing him to a stumbling point, and scolded angrily at the same time: "Stinky beggar, dare to talk back, the master will beat you to death today!"

Wu Yan was furious, and after standing still, he raised the dog-beating stick in his hand, and hit Wang Feng on the head with his head and face.

Although Wang Feng usually learned a little martial arts from his eldest brother Wang Bai, it was also very limited, plus he was usually pampered, rarely moved, and grew a body of weak fat, so he couldn't avoid it at this time.

The dog beating stick is an old bamboo, and it hit Wang Feng's body and face more than a dozen times, especially the bamboo strip with a split in the front section, even a strong man is not comfortable, let alone Wang Feng with fine skin and tender meat?

Wang Feng immediately let out a scream like killing a pig, covered his face and shouted: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite! Stinky beggar, Lao Tzu is going to kill you today! Senior Brother Feng, Senior Brother Huang, don't you care, stop him quickly!"

The long-faced Senior Brother Feng and the other two deacon disciples didn't expect the two to really fight. However, in their eyes, they really don't look down on this kind of street fighting. But it's ugly, but it's funny. The two didn't know what they were thinking, so they didn't go up to persuade them, but laughed and watched the excitement on the side.

Zhang Tao stood aside a little helpless, scratching his head, wanting to step forward to stop him, but he didn't know how to persuade him, so he kept waving his hands and said, "Wu Yan, Wang Feng, don't fight." It's all the same brother, this, this, stop. ”

Wang Feng couldn't bear the pain, and while scolding angrily and saying cruel words, he covered his head and face, and ran out of the deacon hall with a smoke.

Wu Yan taught Wang Feng a hard lesson, and he felt a bad breath in his chest, and his mood was extremely comfortable. However, he was tired and panting, and he snorted towards the door with a dog beating stick: "Something, it will bully the weak and poor, the master's dog beating stick, today is a veritable dog beating, so happy!"

Zhang Tao was stunned, and pointed at Wu Yan in surprise and said, "Wu Yan, you, why are you really fighting?"

Wu Yan said indignantly: "Brother Zhang, you don't know how hateful this kid is. Last night, I passed by their house, and he kicked me and broke the guy I was eating. I didn't even bother with him. This morning, when we were gathering at the mouth of the Wolf Valley, he kicked me in the back again, causing me to hit a large bag on the head. You see, it's not down yet. I haven't bothered with him yet. Unexpectedly, I have now become an official disciple of our Iron Sword Alliance, and he still insults me, you say, can I still bear it?"

Zhang Tao scratched his head, thought about it, nodded seriously, and said, "I see, well, I can't bear it." has been bullied like this, and if you still endure it, then you are not a hero, you are a bear. ”

Senior Brother Feng, who had a long face, looked at Wu Yan with a smile, and then said to the two of them: "You two come here, this is the disciple clothing and basic daily necessities prepared by this alliance for new disciples. According to the rules of our Iron Sword Alliance, new disciples should learn some basic knowledge of literacy and hyphenation and meridian acupuncture point recognition in the library over there in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. Half a year later, after passing the assessment of the Deacon Hall, those who pass the test can wait for the selection of the sect masters and elders above to become true disciples of the house, and then they can learn swordsmanship. If you are lucky and are favored by our head and accepted as a closed disciple, then you will be able to ascend to the sky in one step. ”

Wu Yan and Zhang Taole couldn't keep their mouths together, and hurriedly went over to catch the two burdens handed by Senior Brother Feng.

Senior Brother Feng leaned forward to Wu Yan slightly, smiled in a low voice, looked at him meaningfully, and said, "Senior Brother Wu, do you know that you have already caused a lot of trouble? Hehe, Senior Brother Wang Feng's eldest brother is the closed disciple of Hall Master Zhao of our Deacon Hall, and he has always been valued by Hall Master Zhao. Moreover, Hall Master Zhao and Senior Brother Wang Bai are both well-known for protecting their shortcomings. Senior Brother Wu, you have to take care of yourself. However, Senior Brother admires your courage, haha!"
