Chapter 149 Going out of the mountain, pretending to be a wine sword fairy【45】
Seven years later, in Luwei County, a hundred miles away from Niujia Village.
"Seed cake, freshly baked sesame seed cake!"
"Take a look, take a look, the best animal skin!"
In the noisy bazaar, a group of plain-headed people in coarse clothes were shouting with all their might.
Although today's Yuezhi Dynasty has a lot of battles breaking out in various places because of the princes' struggle for power.
But Luwei County, as a frontier town, was originally the center of the Yuezhi Dynasty.
Although this place is close to the forbidden land Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
However, monks who will enter the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom rarely choose to enter from Luwei County.
They will choose Zhenyaoguan, the city closest to Wanyao Kingdom.
Thus, although the people in Luwei County live in poverty, it is considered a rare place that has not been involved in the war.
And on the streets of Qingcheng, a group of soldiers suddenly came to the center of the street.
Looking at this group of heavily armed and well-equipped soldiers.
The people subconsciously took a step back.
After all, these guys know that they are not easy to mess with.
They are just ordinary people. If one accidentally offends these people, something bad might happen.
And among this group of soldiers, there is a character who is obviously different from other soldiers.
This person is not dressed as an official or a general, but he can be located in the center of the soldiers, obviously the leader of the group of soldiers.
The common people are not particularly surprised by this scene.
They knew very well that the only people who could have such a special status without being an official or a general could only be legendary immortals with supernatural powers.
Under the curious eyes of the people, the soldier began to post notices at the center of the disturbance.
After posting the notice, a soldier began to say loudly to the surrounding people: "The fourth prince has an order. Now all the strange people in the territory can participate in the competition for the imperial list within ten days."
"Anyone who is selected for the talent recruitment list will receive a monthly gift of a middle-grade spirit stone, and what's more, they can exchange it for a magic weapon from the royal treasury."
"Anyone who is interested can go to the county magistrate's office to accept the assessment."
After finishing speaking, the soldier turned around and returned to the team.
When the surrounding people heard these words, they all showed puzzled eyes.
After all, they don't understand what the spirit stone is, nor what is the use of exchanging the magic weapon from the treasure house.
But it doesn't matter, the words themselves were not addressed to them.
Half a day after the announcement of the emperor's list, several monks lurking in the crowd came to the county magistrate's office.
The cultivation bases of these monks are not high, and they are only at the fifth or sixth level of Qi training period.
And without exception, they are all in their forties or fifties.
At such an age with only this level of cultivation, he is destined not to achieve too much.
But the fourth prince seems to be willing to refuse anyone.
The three of them were recruited one after another after showing their cultivation.
Nine days later, a total of nine monks and five warriors appeared in Luwei County.
Among these people, the most powerful is a butcher.
The strength of the opponent has reached the level of an innate warrior.
The reason why he came out this time seems to be because he wants to find a way to prolong his life.
This also made the monk who presided over the assessment a little bit interested.
After all, it is not for nothing.
On the tenth day, the monk seemed to feel that there were no other monks in Luwei County, and he was about to go back home.
After all, the opening of the Ten Thousand Bone Forest is very close.
Those who can be recruited will come in about ten days.
The remaining people who can’t come, probably won’t come even in a few days.
But just when the monk was about to have the recruiting list taken back, a swordsman appeared in the county magistrate's office.
And beside him, there was a boy holding a sword.
A soldier saw this and stepped forward to stop the two of them.
"You two, are you also here to participate in the recruitment list?"
The sloppy swordsman suddenly pointed to the soldier when he heard the words.
The next second, a strong wind blew by, and a sharp sword mark appeared on the ground around the soldier.
This surprised the soldier.
If this finger was pointed at him, wouldn't his finger be decapitated by a sword?
However, the soldier was afraid at this time, and said respectfully: "You two, please follow me, Master Liu Xian is already in the Yamen."
The swordsman nodded, and then walked towards the mansion with the soldier.
Not long after, the master and the boy came to the hall of the yamen.
At this time, Yuchanshan monk Liu Xing, who received the news, has arrived at the main hall.
He looked at the bohemian and sloppy swordsman, and secretly probed him with his divine sense.
Is the cultivation of the third floor of the foundation building? It is still a sword repair, and its strength is not bad.
Then he looked at the boy next to the swordsman.
It was discovered that this boy also seemed to have a level five or six level of Qi training.
So he said directly: "Friend Daoist is very strong, so this test will be avoided."
"Fellow Daoist, let's go to the backyard to rest first, and I will go to the Ten Thousand Bone Forest in a few days."
Hearing these words, the swordsman didn't reply, but started drinking on his own, with a bohemian appearance.
This frivolous appearance made Liu Xing very unhappy.
A mere monk with a third-floor foundation dared to be so rude in front of him.
Do you really think you are invincible?
However, due to the mission at this time, Liu Xing still didn't express his thoughts in the end, but asked someone to take the two of them to the backyard to become monks.
Under the leadership of the soldiers, the two soon came to the location in the backyard.
Along the way, other monks also heard the arrival of a newcomer, and they came over curiously to have a look.
But after seeing the other party's dissolute and arrogant figure, he didn't have much intention of making friends.
Such a flamboyant behavior may not be able to survive in the practice world.
Especially for where they're going next.
Not to mention that this guy is carrying an oil bottle by his side.
And this swordsman doesn't seem to have much intention to communicate with other people.
After reaching the backyard, he returned to the room to rest on his own.
As soon as she entered the room, Yam, who had endured for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Sir, why do you pretend to be like this, does it feel a little too high-profile?"
"Didn't you tell me that it's dangerous outside, so let's try to keep a low profile?"
Lu Yuan lay down on the bed in the room, and said with a smile: "Yam, do you think the monks who can come here are fools?"
Yam thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Probably not, I think they are all pretty smart."
Lu Yuan nodded and said: "So, Shan Yao, remember what I said, sir, never treat others as fools."
"In this world, there are two kinds of people that are difficult to pretend, one is really smart, and the other is really stupid."
"So, it's the most real thing to be a half-baked fool and a mediocre person."
"So sometimes a little publicity is more real than low-key, and it is more deceptive."
Yam Yam rolled her eyes, and suddenly said confidently, "Mister, what kind of person do you think I am?"
Lu Yuan glanced at her out of the corner of his eyes and said, "You are what I said, one of the two types of people that are the most difficult to impersonate."
Yam was overjoyed immediately, and then said: "Sir, are you saying that I am a smart person! Hee hee, I actually think I am quite smart."
The corners of Lu Yuan's eyes twitched slightly, looking at Shan Yao's expression of "So I'm so good", he really couldn't bear to tell her the truth.
I'm sorry, Yam, you are actually a real fool, the kind that most people can't pretend to be.
