Chapter 5 Making things difficult

It took nearly two months for Qin Xiao, who was slowly calming down, to finally walk out from the depths of the mountain. Looking at the tall city gate in front of him, Qin Xiao's fatigue from the past few days seemed to be instantly released.

The Great Qin Empire is located in the center of the Canglang Continent, with fertile land and a large population. It has three provinces, seven states, five prefectures and twelve cities, occupying most of the land in the central part. Every few years, the Yan State in the north and the Chu State in the west will

There was a war with the Great Qin Empire, and they tried to take this beautiful land as their own. However, the Great Qin cavalry was famous all over the world and was invincible in the world.

Tianfeng City is the most remote town among the twelve cities in the Great Qin Empire. However, today, this small town is very lively with people coming and going.

"Tanghulu, sweet and fragrant candied haws, two cents each!"

"We are selling fish. Fish just caught from the river. Fish that are not fresh are free of charge."

Qin Xiao walked into the city, looking east and west, his eyes full of curiosity. On both sides of the wide streets, there were shouts of hawkers everywhere, and people came and went. Some were gorgeously dressed, wearing gold and silver, and some

He is dressed in powerful attire and carries a long sword, showing his extraordinary prowess.

"So many people!" Qin Xiao couldn't help but admire, but his eyes dimmed again. He never thought that one day, he would leave the village for such a reason.

At this time, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance, and a dozen soldiers in neat armors rode on tall horses from the other end of the street. As they ran, everyone looked solemn, with a kind of chilling aura that had been experienced in the battlefield, followed by a car.

A luxury carriage drawn by four horses passed by Qin Xiao's eyes. Suddenly, a burst of force pushed Qin Xiao away. Qin Xiao's eyes were still on the cavalry, and he didn't pay attention at all. He staggered a few steps due to this push and almost almost

He fell to the ground.

"Damn little beggar, you are tired of living, and you dare to hit me." The arrogant voice was full of disdain.

Qin Xiao looked back and saw a young man in rich clothes who was talking, about the same age as him, followed by several servants. It turned out that Qin Xiao was looking around and walking, and almost bumped into the young man's arms.

"I'm sorry!" Qin Xiao quickly apologized to the young man.

"The eyes grew on the dog's body and soiled my clothes. Can you afford to pay for it?" The young man looked arrogant and looked very talented, but his words were really unpleasant. At first glance, he was the boss of the big family.

The spoiled young master.

"I've already apologized, what else do you want?" Qin Xiao frowned.

"Oh, you actually dare to talk back. When did we in Tianfeng City have such unruly people? Beat me to death!" the young man said angrily.

Several servants around the young man rolled up their sleeves and surrounded Qin Xiao. At this time, the oldest servant dissuaded him: "Master, the city lord has been waiting in Linfeng Tower for a long time. If you waste time on these trivial matters and are late to meet the immortal master,

, it’s not easy to explain to the City Lord.”

"Good luck to you, don't let me meet you again, huh!" The young man seemed to have remembered something and left reluctantly.

Qin Xiao was stunned there, asking to meet the immortal master. Is he the kind of person who can fly in the sky? He glanced around, ran to a stall of an old man who looked kinder, and asked: "Old man, I heard that people from this city are here."

Is it true that I have met several immortal masters?"

The old man smiled and said: "Son, you are not from Tianfeng City, are you?"

"Yes, it's my first time here today."

"No wonder, our Tianfeng City is not so lively on weekdays. You see, most of the people coming and going in this city are coming from other cities. Even the city defense is rarely deployed on weekdays.

The patrol team has become busy today, just because of the fairy you call me." The old man smiled and said: "Look at my business, it has improved because of this."

"Then do you know why the immortal master came here?"

"Of course I know. It is said that this is an immortal from a large sect that specializes in recruiting qualified disciples. It seems to be called Chaoyang Sect. It only recruits disciples every three years and only chooses one place each time. This time it is our turn in Tianfeng City.

Most of the people here come from other places, hoping to pass tomorrow's assessment and enter the Chaoyang Sect."

"Really!" Qin Xiao was a little excited.

"Old man, everyone in the city knows why I lied to you."

"Thank you, uncle!"

Qin Xiao thought of the people he met in the small village before. They should also be members of that kind of sect. If he went to a big sect to become a disciple, would he be able to avenge his father? Qin Xiao secretly made up his mind to pass the examination.

He couldn't vent his inner misery. He originally longed for the scenery beyond the mountains, but now he didn't have any thoughts. He inquired about a good place to take the test, exchanged some animal skins that he had hunted in the mountains for some small money, and bought a few steamed buns to satisfy his hunger.

I found a random place on the street corner to make do at night, for fear of missing the assessment.

After dawn, Qin Xiao walked towards the assessment place. From a distance, he saw the wide street filled with all kinds of gorgeous carriages. There were some coachmen and guards standing beside the carriages. The open vermilion door.

There are tall and mighty stone lions on each side. Standing at the gate, you can see the scene in the hall inside the door. There are a bunch of boys and girls about the same age as Qin Xiao standing there. They should also be here for the assessment. Qin Xiao was about to walk in.

He was stopped by someone.

"Stop, what are you doing?" The gatekeeper glanced at Qin Xiao with some disdain.

"Brother, I'm here to take the assessment. Please let me in."

"Take the assessment?" The gatekeeper sneered and waved his hand impatiently: "Go in."

"Thank you, brother!"

The guards and grooms pointed at Qin Xiao, obviously disdainful of a little beggar coming to participate in the assessment. They talked about it without any hesitation. Qin Xiao walked into the hall expressionlessly, deliberately ignoring the sounds coming from behind.

The spacious and bright hall is supported by several cylindrical red-painted pillars. There are thousands of people standing there, but it is not crowded at all. The bright sunshine is shining in from the open window. If you look closely, there are actually sculptures on the window lattice.

Decorated with hollow patterns, there is a huge Eight Immortals table at the end of the hall, with a large incense burner on it. On the wall next to the incense burner, there is a huge portrait. In the portrait, a gentle old man is standing with a smile. However,

Although he was smiling, he gave off an aura that was not angry but powerful.

There are many boys and girls standing in the center of the hall. The assessment has not yet begun. Some of them are in groups of three or five, whispering about something. Some of them raise their heads proudly, as if they are already very happy standing with the people around them.

Looking up to them, there were also some people in simple clothes who were walking around nervously.

In addition to these assessors, there are several chairs in the hall, but they are all empty. They should be where the assessors sit. Next to the chairs are several young men with long swords. Qin Xiao walks into the hall and greets them.

There were countless stares, some frowned and walked away, some covered their noses with disgust, and some looked at Qin Xiao in surprise, probably because they felt that people like Qin Xiao shouldn't be there at all.

Appear here.

It's no wonder that Qin Xiao attracts so much attention. His clothes have been torn in tatters in the forest, and he drank the wind all night on the street corner. His whole body is covered with dust, and he looks like a beggar.

"It's really strange that a dirty little beggar dares to come to such a sacred place?" At this time, an extremely contemptuous voice came from the crowd.

Qin Xiao frowned and looked over. Standing at the front of the group was a handsome young man. Next to him were several similarly dressed young men. They surrounded him like stars and the moon. Take a closer look.

, it was the boy Qin Xiao almost bumped into on the street yesterday.

"Isn't that right? Mr. Zhou, the Chaoyang Sect is the holy land of our Great Qin Empire. Anyone who can enter there is a talented person. After all, not just cats and dogs can go there." A young woman stood next to him.

He smiled sarcastically, with a look of disgust on his face.

Qin Xiao pursed his lips, clasped his hands tightly together, and did not reply. He just wanted to pass the test, he just wanted revenge, nothing else mattered.

"Mr. Zhou, you see he is still not convinced. His hands are clenched so tightly. He probably wants to hit someone. I'm so scared." Another young man also chimed in.

The young man known as Mr. Zhou walked up to Qin Xiao, casually took out a few pieces of silver from his pocket and threw them in front of Qin Xiao, "If you don't have money to eat and want to come here to have a meal, you are in the wrong place.

The young master is kind enough to reward you with a few pieces of silver. Get out of here as soon as you get the money."

Qin Xiao said coldly: "This is the territory of the Chaoyang Sect. I'm just here to take the assessment. Why do you want me to get out? Is it possible that you can represent the Chaoyang Sect?"

"You!" Mr. Zhou's expression changed. Although his family was powerful in the world, if the immortal master of the Chaoyang Sect heard these words, he would not be able to finish the meal and walk around. He has always been in trouble.

When had he been squeezed like this by a beggar? His face turned red and white, and he said angrily, "Damn little beggar, you dare to compare with us, get out of here, or else I want you to look good."

"That's right, why are you, a pariah, on equal footing with us? Get out of here!"

"Most of the people here are nobles and little beggars. If you don't leave, I will ask my guards to drive you away." Most of the teenagers nearby also started to make noises. In this era, the hierarchy is strict and the strong are respected. It is difficult for ordinary civilians to do so.

In the early days, they were just like ants in the eyes of the nobles. If this place was not the territory of the Chaoyang Sect, Qin Xiao would have been kicked out without even being qualified to enter the house.

Seeing the commotion in the hall, the young monks frowned but said nothing. Instead, they glanced at Qin Xiao with disgust.

"quiet!"

At this time, a loud shout suddenly came from the hall, with an irresistible majesty in the voice. Several people walked in from the backyard. The leader was an old man with black hair mixed with silver hair and a strong figure.

With an angry look on his face, he yelled: "Why is it so noisy?"

A young monk quickly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Uncle Yan, there is a little beggar making trouble in the examination hall."

"Yes, Master Yan, this little beggar is so brave. He dares to make trouble here. He obviously doesn't take you seriously." Mr. Zhou quickly agreed.

"I'm here to take the assessment, I didn't cause trouble!" Qin Xiao was anxious and quickly defended himself.
