Chapter 3 Wolongzong
Jinyang City is not too big. Originally, it was just a small town, but it became more and more prosperous because of the proximity to Wolongzong. Every two years, when the recruitment of disciples comes, it is even more crowded here. If this trend has been maintained, Jinyang City may be richer. At that time, depending on the work of the gate, the wages may be several times higher. This is the most real idea of the gatekeeper.
At this time, it was noon, and many people had entered the city. Some were riding high-headed horses, and some were riding carriages, dressed in satin, dressed noblely. A few people who walk are also neatly dressed. Make this small city look very lively.
Zhou Xing stood in front of the gate, looking at the wall nearly ten feet higher than Baishui Town and the two tall gates, and his heart was full of shock.
The passers-by saw that this teenager, who was almost a beggar's companion, all sneered and ignored it.
"Brother Dafu, let's go in." Lin Yumu saw that Zhou Xing was distracted, so he shouted.
A touch of excitement surged on Zhou Xing's face, and he couldn't help but want to go to the city to have a look.
"Hey, those two guys, come here." A carriage entering the city stopped next to Zhou Xing, and a greasy teenager opened the curtain and shouted to Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing took a look at Lin Yumu, then pointed to himself and said in surprise, "Are you calling us?"
Yes, that is to say, you. Are you two going to Wolongzong to worship? The greasy teenager asked.
Zhou Xing and Lin Yumu looked at each other and then nodded.
"That's fine. You can follow the car. It's good for you." After saying that, the greasy teenager closed the door curtain. The coachman shouted, ignored Zhou Xing and went to the city.
"Xiao Linzi, shall we follow?" Zhou Xing frowned slightly.
Lin Yumu smiled and said, "He said it's good, so let's follow up and have a look. Anyway, we have to go to the city."
The carriage was moving forward quickly, and the two followed easily. The gatekeeper looked at their clothes and turned up, revealing a pair of white eyes, but did not say anything. Zhou Xing, who was a little nervous, breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Jinyang City is small, it has all the internal organs. As soon as you enter the city, you can see a spacious street with all kinds of shops, vehicles and pedestrians, almost one after another.
The greasy teenager saw that the car could not move for a long time. He also got out of the car, carried his hands on his back, and walked slowly to Zhou Xing.
"Since you two are going to worship, you will follow me in the future. Your benefits are indispensable." The greasy teenager raised his chin and looked down.
Zhou Xing, Lin Yumu and Lin Yumu looked at each other in con'ssment.
"Look, you don't have any money. As long as you have been my little brother on the way to the teacher, I will give you half a taels of money." The greasy teenager said directly to the point.
Seeing that the two of them didn't answer for a long time, he hurriedly said, "How about a taels of silver? As long as you admit that it's my little brother."
"We don't want to be your little brother. Big rich brother, let's go." Lin Yumu stared at the oily teenager disdainfully, pulled Zhou Xing and ran away, disappearing in the flow of people in a blink of an eye.
The greasy teenager frowned and said to himself, "Is there too little money? No, I have to find my younger brother again."
On the lively street, Zhou Xing looked around excitedly. This was the first time in his life that he had been to such a prosperous city, which was really eye-opening.
Then, Zhou Xing took out the money and reluctantly bought some ordinary food and Lin Yumu had a full meal. Looking at the remaining copper coins, Zhou Xing said secretly, "These can't last long. You must join Wolong Sect."
After wandering for a while, suddenly the flow of people rushed towards the gate, especially some parents with teenagers were very excited.
"... The Wolong sect came and chose disciples at the gate."
"Son, run faster and try to get the first few choices." Some adults shouted at their children.
Zhou Xing's eyes lit up, grabbed Lin Yumu, squeezed into the crowd and ran to the gate.
The gate, which was not too crowded, has become a sea of people. Thousands of people's eyes glowed at the temporary high platform. They saw the two young people in purple clothes above, whose eyes were bright and their temples were faintly bulging. Among them was an old man dressed in prestige, sitting on a big chair with an indifferent face.
There are still many people crowded here, but no one dares to shout loudly, but even so, the noise continues.
"The young man in purple must be an inner disciple of Wolongzong. I heard that the more bulging the temple is, the deeper the skill is."
"That's not necessarily true. I saw it in the middle two years ago. It was Elder Xu, which was unfathomable. I saw him arrange a trouble-or into pieces with his palm wind with my own eyes." Hearing this, there was a sound of inhaling cold air.
The conversation of the people around him was not loud, but it fell into Elder Xu's ears one by one, and a touch of satisfaction surged on his indifferent face. After a while, he glanced at the crowd under the stands, immediately stood up, shook his clean robe, and said lightly, "Everyone, I am Elder Xu of Wolongzong, specially for recruiting disciples this time. I believe everyone knows more or less about the rules of recruiting disciples of Wolong Sect. In the past, 20 disciples were recruited every two years, but this time it is different. As long as you can pass the entry level, no matter how many people, Wolong Sect will be included in the outer door one by one. Those who perform well can enter the inner door.
Elder Xu's voice was loud, but not harsh, and it spread thickly.
After saying that, the whole gate seemed to be suddenly empty. All the people who knew the rules were stunned, and those who wanted to enter the Wolong Sect opened their eyes wide.
When Zhou Xing rushed here, he was also excited after listening to Elder Xu's words. In this case, he had a lot of opportunities.
The next moment, the crowd boiled up, and some cheered. Many people blushed and were full of surprise.
Then, Elder Xu sat back to his original position. The two young men announced the limit for recruiting disciples. If they were not allowed to reach the age of 16, they could not be disabled, and they were not allowed to take others up the mountain. Those who are full of conditions will no longer investigate the roots and qualifications as in previous years. You just need to follow them to Wolongzong and pass the entry level, and you can pass.
"Xiao Linzi, we all meet the conditions. If we can pass the test, we will all be disciples of Wolong Sect." Zhou Xing was very happy and thought to himself, "It's right to leave home this time. It seems that God is blessing me. If you still stay in the town, maybe you are taking the big exam now."
Looking at the long queue, the two immediately squeezed to the front and joined the queue. The two young people did not look too carefully. As long as they looked close to each other, there was no big problem on the surface and let them pass the registration, which made the nervous teenagers behind them full of confidence.
After a while, it was Zhou Xing's turn, Lin Yumu, without any difficulties, passed directly.
For more than an hour, there have been hundreds of teenagers huddled in the procession passing by, all with their eyebrows flying and tifying their relatives. Adults smile and become flowers. If they can become disciples of Wolong Sect, they will definitely accumulate blessings for their ancestors.
Elder Xu looked at everything under the stage indifferently, as if no matter how many people passed, it had nothing to do with him.
"Big rich brother, will it be a problem to let so many people pass this time?" Lin Yumu came close to Zhou Xing's ear and said in surprise.
Zhou Xing only felt a weak wet wind blowing into his ears, itchy, and quickly turned his head, but accidentally brushed Lin Yumu's lips. Zhou Xing didn't care, and his face was still excited.
Lin Yumu's mind was blank, his eyes were staring, and there seemed to be anger in the depths of his eyes, and the residual touch on his lips made him almost unable to control his emotions.
"Xiao Linzi, don't worry, it should be all right." Zhou Xing didn't find Lin Yumu's strangeness. After laughing, he turned around and counted how many people were left in the team.
The voice came to Lin Yumu's ear, as if it had extinguished his anger and regained his composure. Lin Yumu muttered to himself, "After eating so many cakes from him, I let him go this time."
After a while, the team had lined up to the end. Elder Xu stood up, arched his hand to the platform, and said in a loud voice, "Everyone, this task is over. I will be responsible for the safety of these teenagers. If they don't pass the entry level, they will be sent back here safe and sound in three days. Don't worry."
Then, two young people led the way, and all the young people who were elected followed him to the gate. There were dozens of large carriages parked there, and the tall horses amazed many people.
Two disciples of Wolong Sect began to assign people to get on the carriage, and every ten people got on a carriage.
"Qin, you have to work hard. Don't humiliate your father!"
"Son, pay attention to safety. If you can't, don't force yourself. Mother is waiting for you here."
The teenager's parents kept telling, and some were constantly stuffing things into the arms of the two disciples, and several people walked towards Elder Xu.
Zhou Xing and Lin Yumu have got into the carriage first. Looking at these elders who made their last efforts for future generations, they were silent and didn't know what they were thinking.
The teenagers got into the carriage one after another. Finally, Elder Xu and two disciples of Wolong Sect rode a big horse and shouted "depart". The coachman's shouts and whips came one after another, and the spectacular carriages raised a piece of dust and slowly left.
The carriage began to move forward. Zhou Xing sat in the middle corner and easily swept the teenagers in the car. Two of the teenagers seemed to be the same age as him, and the other six were slightly younger than him. Except for one who wore a little better, the rest were sackcloth clothes, which was obviously born in an ordinary family.
The slightly better-dressed teenager, with clear facial features, white skin, and constant frowning, seemed unwilling to stay with these people. The youngest-looking teenager lowered his head and occasionally dropped a drop or two of water from his eyes. There was also a dark-skinned teenager who, as soon as he got into the carriage, raised his head, closed his eyes, and snored. In addition, most teenagers are excited, worried and curious.
