"Oh, take it and take a look."
Elder Qiu blinked and waved curiously.
Yang Ji took out the "Hunyuan Gold Sand" from his waist, walked up to it, and handed it over respectfully.
"It's really Hunyuan gold sand. You're just a disciple who teaches martial arts. Where did you get such a thing?"
Elder Qiu opened the bag, took a look, and said in surprise.
Hunyuan Gold Sand is an extremely precious fifth-grade hidden weapon. It can exert incredible power when activated by blood energy. Only "Big Brother" and "Big Sister" level figures in the sect can barely activate it.
How could Yang Ji, a new disciple, get something of this level?
Yang Ji did not hide anything, and simply told what happened to Tang Duogang.
"I see."
Elder Qiu nodded and couldn't help but look at Yang Ji with special eyes. This "Wu Tongsheng" fully recommended by Pingchuan City is indeed full of magic:
"No problem. Within three days at most, I will send the disciples below to you."
"Thank you, elder."
Yang Ji bowed.
"Is there nothing else you want?" Elder Qiu asked.
"there is none left."
Yang Ji lowered his head and smiled. In addition to the six "Defense Pills" obtained from Zhao Hua, he didn't take much action in the "commotion" between the two sects this time. But the benefits he got were probably second only to "
Zhao Hua".
"Haha, it's best if there is no more."
Elder Qiu stroked his beard and laughed, paused, and said: "But you don't have it anymore. I still have it. - Take this thing and take a look."
Whoosh!
Amidst the sound of strong wind, there was a flash of blood, and something thin shot out from Elder Qiu's sleeve like a sharp arrow.
"What's this?"
Yang Ji took it, raised his head, and said in surprise.
"You'll know just by looking at it."
Elder Qiu restrained his smile and said with a serious expression.
Yang Ji took a look. It seemed to be a dark red invitation made of cardboard, with the government's seal stamped on it and the characters "Langya" written on it. But then, Yang Ji was surprised.
"Imperial order?!"
Yang remembered the cinnabar writing on it.
"Well. This is an annual conscription order issued by the imperial court. Within the territory of Langya, no matter which sect receives the conscription order, it must respond to the imperial conscription and send its disciples to assist the imperial court. - This is what the major sects did with each other back then.
The obligations agreed by the imperial court are also the prerequisite for the imperial court to grant ultimatums to various sects to open mountains."
"Year after year, the relationship between the sect and the court has never changed. But this year's situation is a little different. In the past, General Huben's term was up, and he was immediately transferred and left. The new one. I heard that he was a young general. The new one was
The appointment of an official means that our forces in Langya County will be reshuffled. If this mission is not done well, it will directly affect the young general's judgment of the strength of our sect and, in the near future, our sect.
interests.——This is also the reason why the Iron Sword Sect is so anxious to come here this year and challenge us everywhere in the mountain."
Elder Qiu frowned and told the reason.
"I see."
Yang Ji frowned. He finally knew what "Elder Qiu" was thinking with a puzzled look on his face before he came in.
However, Yang Ji still doesn't quite understand what this matter has to do with him.
"What the elder means is..."
Yang Ji hesitated and said.
"I was also troubled by this matter. Until... I met you."
"Elder Qiu" looked at Yang Ji, stroked his sparse beard, and suddenly laughed.
"ah!!"
Yang Ji blurted out and exclaimed. This is really not a historical record. Even if he killed Yang Ji, he would not have thought that such a thing would be waiting for him this time when he entered the Elder Peak.
"No wonder the elder is so cheerful. No wonder he agreed to refine Hunyuan gold sand for me..."
At this moment, the truth was revealed. It turned out that there was such an important thing entrusted to him. No wonder he was so valued.
At this moment, Yang Ji couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, and he didn't know what expression to make. Frankly speaking, Yang Ji was not ready to go down the mountain at all.
"But elder, I have only been on the mountain for more than three months!"
Yang Ji tried his best to argue.
Generally, "newcomers" who have been up the mountain for three months are still there as "named disciples", learning swordsmanship and kung fu from the "senior brothers who teach martial arts". It's better for me here, because I will be sent down the mountain soon.
"It doesn't matter. All disciples must accept a court order before reaching the fifth level of martial arts. Moreover, the court order is usually issued in advance. The young general has not yet taken office. You have at least two more years.
More than a month of preparation time.”
Elder Qiu stroked his beard and said, "I have already thought about it for you."
"But, the disciple just offended someone from the Iron Sword Sect..."
"Don't worry. You are not the only one being recruited this time. There are other disciples from the sect traveling with you. The Iron Sword Sect is not so presumptuous. Don't worry about safety."
Elder Qiu looked like "I had expected this".
Yang Ji was sweating.
"However, my disciple's martial arts skills are low, so I'm afraid he has a heavy responsibility..."
"It doesn't matter. Just do your best. For example, this time."
Elder Qiu said.
What else could Yang Ji say? Elder Qiu had clearly thought everything out for him. He had to agree whether he agreed or not.
"Disciple, obey."
Yang Ji could only lower his head and said.
"Haha, don't feel embarrassed. It's a bit unkind to ask you to participate in this kind of mission after three months on the mountain. However, as long as the mission is completed well, the rewards in the sect will be huge and quite generous. You are not
Haven't you entered the Scripture Cave yet? According to the rules of the sect, any disciple who completes the task ordered by the court will get an opportunity to enter the Scripture Cave! - However, each disciple only has one such opportunity.
Come back?"
Elder Qiu squinted his eyes, smiled and stretched out a finger.
"ah!!"
Yang Jimeng was shocked. He had just learned about the existence of the "Scripture Cave" from Zhao Hua. He did not expect that he would be exposed to tasks related to the "Sutra Cave" so quickly.
The "Tibetan Scripture Cave" is the foundation of the sect, and it contains the original scriptures and paintings of the sect's martial arts. If you complete the "Imperial Recruitment" mission, you will get an opportunity to enter the Tibetan Scripture Cave to observe the scriptures and paintings. This kind of
The task may not be so unacceptable.
"Get ready!"
Elder Qiu said and waved his hand, indicating that Yang Ji could leave.
…
Coming out of the Elder's Hall, Yang Ji still had some confusion in his head.
"The Imperial Court's order..., the newly transferred general..., if you can really enter the Scripture Cave, it's really worth doing it."
Yang Ji smiled and saw the heavy "reward" in his arms. His mood improved again. "Imperial orders" were something that would happen in the future, but the benefits he got this time were real.
"Whoosh!"
With a thought in his mind, Yang Ji grabbed the "blood sword" given by the elder and shook his arm. With a buzzing sound, the long sword flew out like a blood rainbow for more than ten feet. It quietly slipped into a floor tile.
"What a sword!"
Yang Ji's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but say "shenyin".
