The outside world is full of ice and snow, but the valley where the headquarters of the Divine Sword Alliance is located is golden.
Because of the hot spring river existing underground in the Divine Sword Alliance, the temperature in the valley is higher than outside. At this moment, the maple trees in the valley are connected together, as if they have just entered autumn, and the whole body is golden in color, which is beautiful to look at.
Hundreds of stone houses, large and small, are connected together to form the headquarters of the Divine Sword Alliance. In the middle, a stone hall tens of meters high stands in the middle, which is the main hall of the Divine Sword Alliance.
The road leading to the main hall of the Divine Sword Alliance is on the side of this row of stone houses. Between the golden maple leaves, an upward road winds out, shaped like a scimitar, leading far to the central hall.
Next to the road, there are arches formed by four huge stone pillars every 100 meters, extending to the end of the road.
At the end, a huge arch carved in white jade is engraved with the three characters of the Divine Sword Alliance, symbolizing the supreme authority in Shu.
When you walk into the Divine Sword Alliance, the first thing you see is a huge square.
In the square, two teenagers were competing in martial arts, and there was a circle of teenagers surrounding them.
One of the competing young men was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was tall and strong. He held a rattan shield in his left hand and a short sword in his right hand. He cautiously circled around the young man opposite, not daring to take it lightly.
Another young man was short and stocky, with an ordinary face, but his eyes revealed an aura. He held a single sword in his right hand, and his body followed the opponent's movements and made corresponding defensive postures.
The Divine Sword League is very famous in Shu. Every year on the day when the Divine Sword League recruits new members, an especially large number of young people come from thousands of miles to try their luck in the Divine Sword League.
The two young men competing off the field are the young people who came to the Divine Sword League with this kind of dream.
He is young, has dreams, dares to fight, is impoverished, and dares to risk everything in order to become famous.
Babu likes such young people very much. He seems to have seen himself before he became a monk. So every year when the Divine Sword League recruits new people, he will sit quietly on the high platform and watch these young people fight for one to enter the Divine Sword League. to obtain the quota, and start a bloody fight.
The Divine Sword Alliance is not a kind place. If you want to enter the Divine Sword Alliance, you will have no chance if you don't work hard.
The Divine Sword Alliance recruits hundreds of new disciples in Shu every year. In order to have these one hundred places, and to have a chance to get ahead in the world, the number of young men who die in battle every year during the selection is far greater than one hundred.
The two teenagers off the field were already fighting fiercely, but Babu didn't even raise his head, just concentrating on the food in front of him.
When Ba Bu was still a monk in Shaolin, although there was no shortage of food in the temple, Ba Bu always yearned for the rich game in the back mountains.
So after joining the Magic Sword League, Babu ate countless delicacies every day. He especially liked to send people to visit famous chefs and cook different delicacies for him every day.
Stir-fried pork with cabbage, steamed pork trotters, twice-cooked pan-fried fish, pepper-vinegar shrimp, roast goose, garlic-vinegar white blood soup, steamed fish, three delicacies soup, black bean chess noodles, minced pepper mutton, a full plate The delicious food on the table is full of delicious food. Ba Bu just immersed himself in these delicacies and devoured them happily.
Babu stretched out his kuaizi, picked up an unknown piece of meat in front of him, and put it into his mouth. He closed his eyes in enjoyment, shook his head and praised: "Hey, the cook I found this time, if nothing else, this skill The craftsmanship of roasting yellow squirrel is really wonderful, it is plump and not greasy. I have never known that such delicious food can be found in the world before."
The Southern Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, and the customs and foods of each place are different. The yellow squirrel eaten by Ba Bu is a delicacy spread in Xuanfu, Datong and other places in the border area.
The local area is rich in a kind of chinchilla, which is favored by the locals. It tastes good as meat and is eaten with sheep, chinchilla, and mangosteen chicken.
The chef Babu hired from the Xuanfu this time used yellow rats as food. He cut the rat meat into small pieces, soaked it in water for a period of time, steamed it in a pot, and then cooked it in a fire. Add minced chili pepper to a piece of meat, wrap the meat with homemade noodles, dip it in special seasonings, and simmer it over low heat.
The rat meat prepared with such complicated techniques is crispy, delicious, fat but not greasy. Only dignitaries at the border can enjoy this kind of delicacy.
After recovering from the scent of the yellow squirrel, he drank another large glass of wine, and then Babu raised his head and looked towards the field.
Ba Bu has a face that looks very honest and rugged, and has a strong build. He is wearing a single monk's robe. The monk's robe is not the common brown or green sash color nowadays, but a red monk's robe. His bald head is decorated with twelve dots. Burn incense scar.
Babu originally did not have twelve incense scars. When he broke the precepts from Shaolin, he had six more incense scars on his head, which gave him the current 'Bodhisattva Precepts'.
Babu was not originally called Babu. He was once the chief disciple of the Shaolin Bodhi Temple. He studied under the Great Suffering Monk and was known as the Ten Precepts.
The ten precepts of Shaolin are: abstain from killing, stealing, sexual immorality, licentiousness, drinking, not sitting on a high or wide bed, not eating out of season, not wearing fragrant flowers, not anointing the body with fragrant oils, and not wearing gold or silver treasures.
When he broke the Ten Precepts and escaped from Shaolin, he once said that eight of the Ten Precepts could not be accomplished, so he changed his name to Babu, joined the Divine Sword Alliance, became one of the seven swords of the Divine Sword Alliance, and served as the master of the transfer hall.
Although he is a monk who has broken the precepts, when Bai Xiaosheng evaluated the top ten, he did not look at his character but only his combat power, so he was ranked forty-fifth, even higher than Hu Dao An Ji Mei.
Babu, who was full of wine and food, looked at the battle below with a smile. He watched the short boy fall under the knife of the boy with the shield and sword, and sighed with contentment.
This is the bloody courage and courage of young people. This is the world. When a battle breaks out, only one side can stand in the end.
"Is there any news about Boss Bai and the others coming back?"
Ba Bu picked up the wine glass in front of him, sipping the Dongyang wine produced in Wuzhou, and asked the bald man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks next to him.
The bald man's name is Zhou Wu Zheng. Although his image is a bit wretched, he is Babu's deputy. He is smart, capable, well-rounded, and very good at flattery. Babu trusts this deputy very much.
Zhou Wu Zheng heard that Ba Bu asked and hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Not yet. You also know the character of Leader Bai. We don't dare to send people to inquire, otherwise we will offend him and the young people will suffer."
Zhou Wuzheng knew that in the early hours of this morning, Bai Xiaolou, Ling Tieden and three others left the Magic Sword League. He was keenly aware that something big had happened and reported Ba Bu immediately.
Fu Hongxue went to fight for the Invincible Treasure Book, and Bai Xiaolou left with three knives. Ba Bu also sensed a storm coming, and immediately set out to find Xiao Shiyilang who was guarding the headquarters.
Xiao Shiyilang just told him to maintain the normal operation of the Divine Sword Alliance and not to ask too many questions or interfere too much. Babu simply continued to sit in the Chuangong Hall.
Because of the condescending advantage of the square, Babu could not only see everyone in the square, but also the cableway in front of the White Jade Gate of the Divine Sword Alliance.
Just as the stocky boy fell to the ground, three figures appeared in front of the white jade door, making him frown.
On the surface, the Shenjian Alliance does not seem to be very well-defended, but secretly it is one post every three steps, and one sentry every five steps. However, under such tight defense, when the three people in front of the Baiyu Gate arrived, there was no alarm sound in the valley. .
Babu from Laojianghu suddenly stood up and shouted: "Who is here, dares to break into the Divine Sword Alliance without permission!"
The sound resounded like thunder in the square, spreading in all directions, instantly alarming the group of teenagers who were still competing in the square.
When Babu got up, he saw clearly the appearance of the three people under his disciples. The leader was dressed in a black shirt. He was in his twenties, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a handsome appearance.
Just standing there, he caught everyone's attention, completely ignoring the middle-aged man holding a sword and another younger boy beside him.
It was obvious that the person was not kind. After Babu finished his roar, the figure was already in mid-air. The two swords that appeared in his hands from unknown time were slashed towards Song Xing's head.
