Chapter 7 Prayer for Fire(1/2)
The top of the mountain, the teleportation array.
"Chen Bo." Lin Feng greeted with a smile, and a gray-haired old man stood not far ahead.
"Well, Xiaofeng, why are you here today?" Chen Bo said with his back hunched.
Lin Fengqing said "yes".
Looking back, a white hexagonal object like a scale plate was immediately imprinted into his eyes, and he nodded and said, "Chen Bo, I want to use the teleportation array."
"Eh?" Chen Bo was stunned.
A hint of surprise flashed across his old face. Although there are people in Qihuo Town doing business on weekdays, they choose to be at this right time...
"It seems that I want to see the world." Chen Bo has seen too many such examples, such as Lin Ting last year, even if he cannot pass the preparatory martial artist assessment, seeing the outside world has advantages but no disadvantages.
"Shizhi?" Chen Bo spread his hands.
Lin Feng shook his head.
He knew the rules and used the teleportation array for free, and he had to have a handwritten order from the patriarch or Mrs. Yuru.
And the cost of ‘free’ is very high.
With his right hand reached into his waist, and gently pulled it, Lin Feng carefully took out an exquisite cloth bag from his arms, poured out ten bright silver coins, and handed them on it, which made Chen Bo's eyes stagnate.
"Pay money by yourself?" Chen Bo was shocked, and his eyes at Lin Feng suddenly changed. He originally thought he just wanted to see the world...
But now it seems, obviously not.
He knew Lin Feng's family background very well. These ten silver coins were worth the same gold coin, but for him, it was very heavy.
"Go." After taking the silver coin, Chen Bo opened the teleportation array without asking any more.
"Thank you Chenbo." Lin Feng nodded.
Seeing the energy transmission array light up, the dazzling white light flashed, and Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a flash of light, but it returned to normal in an instant.
Finally, I can participate in the preparatory martial artist assessment!
Over the past five years, I have worked hard to train without a minute of delay or slackness. Isn’t it today?
Lin Feng was a little nervous when he stepped forward and stood in the teleportation array, but he was more expectant and excited.
He is going to Qihuo Town.
In an instant, a dazzling and crystal light lit up, and the figure wearing a coarse linen gradually disappeared...
"At the age of eighteen, there is probably an amazing person in our Linjia Village." Shaking his head, Chen Bo showed a deep smile.
※※※※※
Although Qihuo Town is just a town, it is far from comparable to Linjia Village, a small mountain village located in a corner of the mountain range.
Compared with the city, the difference is only the area of the area. For example, there are ordinary cities and towns, but the scale is smaller. For example, there may be more than a dozen martial arts halls in ordinary cities, but there is only one in Qihuo Town - Qihuo Wutang.
"Line in line, don't squeeze!"
"Come on, next!"
...
At the gate of the town, four hard-dressed men dressed in standard clothing are maintaining order in an orderly manner.
Under the scolding of the four people, the crowd lined up in two rows, in an orderly manner, without any noise and crowding, and seemed quite prestigious.
"So amazing, you can feel a murderous aura when you are so far away."
"This should be the Tianwu Army mentioned by Brother Ting?"
Standing in the crowd, Lin Feng looked around, with a strong curiosity and surprise on his face. He had already heard of the name of the Tianwu Army, and now he was just eye-opening. Although he was far apart, he still felt the momentum and majesty that was faintly revealed.
"They are at the lieutenant level. Look at their shoulders, there is a bronze star with gold edges."
A clear voice suddenly came from behind. Lin Feng looked back and saw a young man with a smile slowly walking up, looking quite easy-going.
"Hello, my name is Zeng Yang."
"Lin Feng."
Lin Feng looked at the visitor with interest, as if he was about the same age as him, and asked curiously: "Brother Zeng Yang is very familiar with Tianwu Army?"
Zeng Yang smiled, "Well, my dream is to join the Tianwu Army, but there are too few places every year, and there are only ten in Qihuo Town."
"Ten are still few?" Lin Feng was surprised.
In his opinion, this number is obviously not a lot.
This year, Linjia Village participated in the preparatory martial artist assessment, and he only had three people.
Zeng Yang smiled and said, "It should be the first time Brother Lin Feng has come to participate in the preparatory martial artist assessment?"
Lin Feng nodded.
"No wonder." Zeng Yang smiled: "Every year, Qihuo Town gathers outstanding talents from the surrounding villages and ethnic groups. Basically, each ethnic group will come a few, one less, four or five more. For example, there are four in our Zengjia Village. There are usually nearly a hundred in the thirty-two ethnic groups."
"So much?" Lin Feng was a little confused.
This number is a bit unimaginable to him...
"Not too many." Zeng Yang shook his head: "The largest number of people are the local residents of Qihuo Town. One town is more than our thirty-two ethnic groups."
"One town has more than thirty-two ethnic groups?" Lin Feng was stunned.
After thinking about it, Lin Feng couldn't help but shout: "Then are there more than 200 people participating in the preparatory martial artist assessment?"
Zeng Yang shrugged, "Only ten of these more than 200 people are selected. Do you think the Tianwu Army will take strict people?"
"Fortunately, my target is not the Tianwu Army." Lin Feng patted his chest and smiled.
...
After a short contact, Lin Feng quickly became familiar with Zeng Yang. He would not mind if he could meet one more friend.
What's more, Zeng Yang gave him a very comfortable feeling, easy-going and without airs, so he was very good at talking to each other.
"It's up to us." Zeng Yang took out a simple copper token from his arms. Lin Feng looked curiously and saw that the words "Qi Huo" were clearly marked on it.
"Is this?" Lin Feng said oh.
"Identity token, don't you know?" Zeng Yang looked surprised.
Lin Feng was stunned.
Identity token? Listen to this name...
In an instant, Lin Feng felt a sense of disagreement in his heart, and his eyes suddenly glanced forward. He saw that the man in front also held a similar ancient token in his hand, handed it to the Tianwu Soldier, and frowned.
"Can't you get in without a token?" Lin Feng's face was a little pale.
Zeng Yang shrugged, and this expression suddenly made Lin Feng feel cold and sweat penetrated from his forehead.
"What should I do?" Lin Feng was anxious.
I finally endured for so long and finally met the physical standards of preparing for warriors. Should I fight here?
"Ha, don't worry, I'm there!" As he spoke, Zeng Yang had already shown his identity token to the Tianwu Soldier who was in the prefecture. He pulled Lin Feng over, took out two gold coins in the same hand, and whispered: "Sir, we are from the same village, please do it for a convenience."
The Tianwu Soldier's brows and his stern eyes looked at Lin Feng carefully, and then took the gold coins and took out an iron token from his arms, which looked a bit similar to Zeng Yang's token.
"Get in."
"Thank you, sir." Zeng Yang stuffed the iron ancient token into Lin Feng's hand, and then pulled Lin Feng and ran in, afraid that the military soldier would go back to his mind that day, and then slipped to the corner of the wall. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Hehe, fortunately, I used this trick last time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to help you."
Feeling the cold token in his hand, warm currents flowed through Lin Feng's heart.
Zeng Yang and him were just a chance meeting, but they helped him so much. I really don’t know how to be grateful.
"Thank you." Lin Feng nodded heavily and said, "I will definitely repay you if I have the chance, and those two gold coins..."
"Okay, okay, the big man won't be the mother-in-law." Zeng Yang smiled and said, "Isn't it just two gold coins? I'll make you friends. I'll leave in advance and see you later."
After saying that, he left like a gust of wind without waiting for Lin Feng to reply.
Holding the token in his hand and looking at the departing back, Lin Feng felt indescribable mixed feelings in his heart.
Indeed, only when you come out will you know that the world is great. He is also the best in Linjia Village. It is extremely rare to have high-level martial artist apprentices, and being able to meet the standards of preparing for warriors is even more proud of the ethnic group. But in Qihuo Town, there are more than 200 people like him every year!
I am as insignificant as sand and dust...
What’s even worse is that if it weren’t for Zeng Yang, he wouldn’t even be able to enter the gate of Qihuo Town!
He had to save money and earn three years for the same two gold coins, but Zeng Yang took them out casually without feeling distressed at all.
The gap is too big!
Staring at the crowd coming and going in Qihuo Town, looking up at the strange and towering energy building, and feeling the prosperous scene of the nine and three cities, Lin Feng held the token tightly, and a strong sense of perseverance and determination were reflected between his eyebrows.
He will not give up, nor will he be discouraged.
Setbacks and frustrations will only make him pursue and make progress even harder.
"I must become a warrior!" Lin Feng's eyes were burning.
