With the concept of being the first to eat crab legs, Yi Jianxin sprinted to the front and soon arrived at Near Star Square.
A huge martial arts performance stage was built there, with wooden buildings surrounding it, specifically for people to watch. There were three wooden tables in front, with one person sitting on each. The young man in the middle was wearing a Taoist robe, the man on the left was wearing a black robe, and the man on the right was sitting on a stage. Wearing beautiful clothes, the left and right fingers are all covered at the same time.
There are many guards around, presumably to maintain order later.
"Hello!" Yi Jianxin ran over and slapped the table in front of the Taoist, panting "I...I..."
Yi Jianxin held his waist and panted, unable to say a complete sentence.
"Sign up, right?" The Taoist smiled, stretched out his hand, grabbed his calloused hand, and put his index and middle fingers on his pulse.
Yi Jianxin suddenly felt a hint of coolness, spreading all over his body from the location of his hand veins, like a green pool in a cave, refreshing and cool.
Just for a moment, the Taoist let go of his hand and still smiled politely: "The qualifications are below level D. You can go aside and wait for the next selection."
As he spoke, he moved his hands to one side.
Yi Jianxin was stunned for a moment, and even forgot what he was going to say. He only thought of one sentence in his mind, and his qualifications were below level D...
"Get out of the way!" Someone appeared and pushed him aside.
"I want to sign up!"
"Master, what do you think of my qualifications?"
"Don't crowd, don't crowd!"
A large group of people came over from behind. Yi Jianxin was pushed back to his senses, but he still stood there blankly until there were more and more people, and he was squeezed again and again until he was Squeeze to the edge of the crowd.
And at this moment, the jade pendant also slipped from his waist, making a crisp sound, and fell to pieces on the ground. He lowered his head and looked at the torn jade pendant. It was originally a thin piece of jade, but there happened to be a dusty stone in that place. The jade just happened to fall there.
Yi Jianxin's expression didn't show much emotion. He watched quietly, but for a moment, he thought of himself waving the sword under the locust tree.
When he entered the world, he thought about many things, but he never doubted himself. He even thought that he was the one-in-a-kind genius. At this time, the broken jade might be a kind of providence.
"It's God's will, forget it." He said this, turned around and left without knowing where to go.
----------
This time the three sects were recruiting people, and almost half of the people in the city came. It was chaotic at first, until the guards intervened and took away two thorns, and everyone lined up honestly.
The representatives of the three sects are Deng Xing of the Jixing Sect, Wang Dalei of the Luoyun Sect, and Li Zhongheng of the Xuanyan Sect. Among them, except Wang Dalei who is wearing Chinese clothes and wearing rings on both hands, the other two are not, including Deng Xing. Half, he is an extremely stardust envoy. He often travels in and out of the mortal world to run his business, of which the elixir business accounts for the vast majority. Over time, he will inevitably end up near Star City when he comes back. Most of the local merchants, officials, and people also know him. To say he is half local is an understatement.
In contrast to the two people who were well dressed, Li Zhongheng looked casual. He was wearing a black robe and even his chest was exposed. His expression seemed a little impatient. He was leaning on the teacher's wife and stepping on his left heel. Stool, if you encounter someone without qualifications, just wave your hand.
At this time, Li Zhongheng explored another person's qualifications and found that he was quite talented, so his tone became slightly gentler.
"Class B superior, go and wait over there."
He pointed to the back, and after screening, there were three groups of people there, all of whom were highly qualified, but they were no more than twenty.
Li Zhongheng looked behind him and made an estimate. After thinking about it for a while, he was almost done. He turned back to the two people next to him and said:
"Brother Wang, Taoist Master Deng, I'm almost done."
After hearing this, the two of them looked back at the same time and made a rough estimate.
"I'm still missing one, don't worry, let's start the second selection." Wang Dalei said.
"I'm still three short..." Deng Xing smiled sheepishly.
"Then, Daoist Deng, please continue. I'll rest for a while. Just call me." Li Zhongheng first shouted to the people who were still queuing, "It's full, it's full! The rest are waiting for the next selection!"
After saying that, the person lay down, closed his eyes, and didn't care about the world.
"I understand, I understand." Wang Dalei smiled kindly, and then also dismissed the people who were still queuing up.
"The recruitment is full, you can wait aside for the next selection." He stood up and cupped his hands.
Deng Xing sighed a little in his heart. The sect was weak. This was an unchanging fact. He recalled that when Ji Xing was praised by everyone in the world, there were countless words of praise. His reputation for exterminating demons, protecting the Tao, and rescuing the common people spread all over the world. Now, All that was left was to slay demons, protect the Tao, and save the common people. Although he was not born at that time, he could not help but feel boastful.
After a stick of incense, with good luck, he directly recruited two people. Deng Xing turned to them and said:
"You've been waiting for a long time, let's get started."
Li Zhongheng opened his eyes and nodded to him together with Wang Dalei.
The three of them stood up at the same time, and Deng Xing, standing in the middle, shouted:
"The second selection is about to begin! Please draw lots to take the stage! Only 100 people are allowed! Lasts for three days! I and the representatives of Luoyun Xuanyan will score the points, from 100 to 50! Then to 25! Finally, in Filter to the top ten! Then decide the top three! You can draw paper lots from the guards later!"
As soon as these words came out, crowds of people went to the guards to line up to draw lots.
Li Zhongheng thought everything was settled and was about to stretch his legs, but someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
"Zhang Zizhu! It's Zhang Zizhu!"
Like a chain reaction, the originally noisy crowd exclaimed and looked towards the place where the sound came from!
I saw a man who had just put his hand into the carton. He was wearing a green shirt and a Zhong Kui mask. After being shouted like this, he turned around helplessly and asked the woman behind him: "Girl, you can tell that I'm like this." ?”
The woman said quite proudly: "I have bought all your portraits! I have memorized all your stories! I am a loyal fan of Mr. Zhang! Not to mention that I can recognize you just by looking at your back, even if you turn into ashes!" "
"It's really him! I'm going! Mr. Zhang is coming to Near Star City!"
"Didn't he go to study in Penglai?"
"Your news is out of date. He appeared in Jiangnan a month ago to visit the master of Yu Jian Pavilion! I heard that they even discussed it behind closed doors!"
Everyone was talking about everything, but they were all talking about one person.
"Hey, someone is here." Li Zhongheng said curiously, and then he shouted: "Which sect is Mr. Zhang planning to come to? If I were Xuan Yan, I would welcome him now!"
"Jixing welcomes Young Master Zhang at any time." Deng Xing said with a smile.
"The same goes for Luoyun. Whether it's cultivation resources or secret books and techniques, as long as Mr. Zhang comes, he will give them all as a welcome gift." Wang Dalei smiled and took advantage of the situation and said, "At least the best."
The two of them looked at Wang Dalei at the same time. Good guy, he is so tyrannical in charge of the branch and his authority is too high! The other two people didn't dare to say this. They were all sent as envoys, and they were all people who had lived in the world, but they really couldn't come up with the best things! Still have to declare.
Deng Xing and Li Zhongheng did not say anything. After all, they represented their respective sects. They were too flattering and their prices were somewhat reduced.
Faced with the wooing from the three sects, Zhang Zizhu just shook his head and bowed his hands.
"Thank you for your kindness. I actually missed the first choice. I will be the second choice. If not, I will discuss it with all the dust envoys."
After all, Wang Dalei was the only businessman sitting here. He immediately understood the meaning of the words. He did not directly explain which faction he wanted to enter the three gates, but he did not want to be treated differently.
Wang Dalei nodded secretly. After all, he was once a disciple of Confucianism and lived up to his reputation as a gentleman.
Deng Xing also heard it later, with a hint of approval in his eyes.
Only Li Zhongheng muttered in his heart: "This guy is really weird. You can just tell us which door you want to enter. Why do you have to participate in the secondary selection? Is it to attract attention?"
"In that case, we won't ask any questions." Wang Dalei smiled and raised his hand to invite you. "It's still early. I'll invite you two to the restaurant to wash your hands of the dust and do my best as a landlord."
"Please." They both said in unison.
Wang Dalei invited again: "Master Zhang, would you like to come with us later?"
"No, thank you for your kindness." Zhang Zizhu shook his head again.
"Okay, I'll see you later Mr. Zhang."
"good."
Everything was going smoothly, but Li Zhongheng felt more and more that this man was hypocritical. There was no one in the world who could not eat for free. He was either hypocritical or a fool.
