Chapter Thirty-Four: Listen to Brother, I’m Whispering
"Everyone, let's follow me closely and don't fall behind!"
At the foot of Lingtai Mountain, Li Jing walked excitedly ahead to lead the way.
Behind him were several guards, a middle-aged man, and some young people or teenagers.
Needless to say, the Jin Yiwei are the guards who specialize in escorting these people. The middle-aged people are one of the "rewards", and the remaining teenagers are thirty in total. The oldest is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and the youngest is only ten.
Two or three years old.
These thirty teenagers in total were selected by Jin Yiwei from the "disciple pool" of Qingshan County and assigned to Li Sixing.
But right now, the thirty teenagers following Li Jing have different expressions, ranging from expectation to excitement, hesitation to confusion about the future.
At present, they only know that this sect is a newly established sect, named Fangcun Mountain, which sounds good. It is based in Lingtai Mountain, which looks okay, but this road is too difficult to walk, right?
It can even be said that the road they are taking now cannot be called a road, there is no road at all!
This change made them a little unsure and a little discouraged.
To be honest, who doesn’t want to join a world-famous sect?
But China's mainland is so big that some people may never leave one county or one county in their lifetime. For many ordinary people, the world in one state is everything.
With no one escorting, transportation inconvenient, ferocious beasts in the wild, and bandits running rampant, few people can travel across several counties and states to another unfamiliar place to join those big sects.
And the most important thing is that even if they arrive, they may not be able to join due to various reasons such as insufficient qualifications, and their trip will be in vain.
It's very realistic, but there is no way because there is no choice.
Fortunately, with the help of Jinyiwei, they can help them allocate sects for free and provide protection on the road. This is a rare treat for many people.
As if he could tell that everyone was in a bad mood and the atmosphere was a bit dull, Li Jing thought for a moment and was going to introduce his sect first, so he coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention and started bragging.
His master has a close friendship with the disciples of the Shushan Sword Sect, he fights dangerously with the demons of the Moon Worship Sect, and he cooperates sincerely with the Jin Yiwei. What a promising sect, with disciple dormitories that fit in with nature, a spacious training ground, and a quaint
Sutra Pavilion, the majestic sect hall...
Along the way, Li Jing didn't stop talking. He even said some words that Li Sixing specially used to deceive him.
But don't tell me, the effect is quite good. The eyes of the teenagers who were originally listless gradually became brighter, and the Jinyiwei beside them had different expressions. They wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
"Master often says that when heaven is about to assign a great responsibility to a person, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, and starve his body and skin..."
"You should also know that the big sects all have their own entrance trials. Brother, I will tell you quietly, the reason why there are no roads here is because this is also part of the trials, specifically used to test your will and physical fitness!
"
The more Li Jing spoke, the more excited he became, and the more he spoke, the more smoothly he spoke. His words made him salivate, his mouth went dry, and he almost deceived himself.
"The mind is suffering, the muscles and bones are tired, the skin is hungry, and the body is empty..."
Among the crowd, a young man with a thin build and a slightly pale face, who looked to be about eighteen years old, murmured and kept repeating this sentence.
If the other teenagers were motivated by Li Jing's "embellished" description, then this young man became excited simply because of this simple sentence.
Soon, everyone who was full of fighting spirit followed Li Jing to the mountainside. When they passed through the last layer of trees, their eyes suddenly opened up, and the sect's garrison in Fangcun Mountain appeared in front of them.
Everyone immediately stood on the spot, their mouths slightly open, their eyes full of shock and confusion.
The first thing that caught their eyes was a tall stone tablet. On the stone tablet were carved the five characters "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain", which seemed to be a mountain gate?
Behind the mountain gate, there is an open space. Looking around, there are indeed buildings, but there are only a few solitary ones. It is difficult to see clearly if they are not close. It is enough to see how far away they are. This is really how the senior brother who led the way described it.
Is it a sect in China?
Feeling the gazes behind him, Li Jing touched his nose and finally felt a little guilty.
Fortunately, Li Sixing and Lu Dong, who were walking towards here not far away, saved him. Li Jing first asked everyone to wait where they were, and then ran towards Li Sixing without looking back.
"People are coming."
Not only Li Jing and others saw Li Sixing, Li Sixing and Lu Dong also saw Li Jing and the people behind Li Jing.
"This time there are a total of thirty people. They are a group I specially selected for you. They all have good qualifications. You can choose ten people from them to be your disciples."
The special word "Lu Dong" accentuated his accent. Li Sixing naturally understood what Lu Dong meant. Just as he thanked him, Li Jing ran up to the two of them out of breath.
Looking at Li Jing who had a guilty conscience, Li Sixing raised his eyebrows and said, "You kid, why are you running away?"
"Hehe, what about that, I brought all the people here for you, Master."
Li Jing scratched his head and thought about it, but still didn't tell Li Sixing what he had done before.
Li Sixing didn't think much, and walked towards the mountain gate with Lu Dong. Looking at some unsociable middle-aged men beside the team, he paused and asked, "Is this man too?"
"No, that is the head craftsman assigned to you by Mr. Qianhu."
"The head craftsman?"
Li Sixing thought of something, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. However, it was not the right time, so he didn't ask any more questions. However, Li Jing, who was following the two of them, suddenly felt something bad when he heard the word craftsman.
"Everyone."
Walking to the stone tablet that temporarily served as the mountain gate, Li Sixing clapped his hands, attracted the attention of everyone present, and said loudly: "My name is San Si Weixing. I am the head of Fangcun Mountain. I am known as the Master of Fangcun Mountain in the world. You can call me for the time being."
Mountain Lord."
While Li Sixing was introducing himself, he looked at the thirty teenagers in the group. What made him a little strange was that these teenagers looked at him with strange eyes, and had an indescribable feeling.
Is this the leader of Fangcun Mountain?
Lord of Fangcun Mountain? I’ve never heard of him.
Is this what our future master will be like...
Thirty people, each one has a different voice. What Li Sixing doesn't know is that because of Li Jing's deception, he has already been regarded as a hermit and an expert in the hearts of these teenagers.
It's just that Li Sixing's current performance is no different from ordinary people in the world. This strong sense of gap makes them feel hesitant.
Maybe the senior brother was deceiving them, but he wasn't sure?
Finally some people reacted, but looking at the way Fangcun Mountain Master and Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi were talking and laughing, I'm sure they were really extraordinary. This chapter has been completed!
