If it were other Jindan cultivators, they would never serve as a guard for a small Qi refining cultivator, even if they were temporarily aggrieved. However, Qingyang didn't care about this. He didn't have the arrogance and reserve of others.
, I never felt like there was anything I couldn’t let go of.
This place is thousands of miles away from the Kuzhong City. It is difficult to go alone due to the situation in front of Qingyang. Only with others can we be safer, and this method is also more conducive to hiding our identity.
Without any hesitation, seeing that the person in front of him failed to clear the level, Qingyang walked forward directly and stepped up the mountain of swords. Although Qingyang was still injured and could not use his true energy, his defense could not be underestimated. This mountain of swords could not defeat him at all.
Besides, Qingyang had practiced martial arts with Songhe Taoist for many years before cultivating immortality. He was very good at light skills. He stretched out his arms, accelerated his body, and tapped his feet on the mountain of knives several times, stepping on countless knives.
, and soon ran to the end of Knife Mountain.
Before many people could recover, Qingyang had already rushed to the edge of the sea of fire. Then he repeated his old tricks and passed through the sea of fire in the blink of an eye. The entire clearance process was so fast that many people had not noticed before, and even
Don't even know what happened.
There was a sound of exclamation on the field. This move was simple, fast, and efficient. It seemed ordinary at first glance, but in fact it took a lot of effort. If you don't have some skills, you would never be able to use it. Several people in the first seven villages were also dumbfounded. They had been doing it before.
I thought this kid was just here to watch the fun, but I didn't expect that he was hiding it well and passed the test so easily.
After passing two tests, Qingyang came to the high platform for an interview. The mayor looked him up and down for a long time, but he couldn't see the reason and said: "Your hands were very beautiful just now, but no matter how I looked at you, you were not open.
It seems that monks in the late stage of the Pulse Realm are somewhat unqualified."
Qingyang had already thought of his words and said: "My spiritual roots have not been obvious since I was a child, so my cultivation has been useless, so I have to focus on body training and martial arts. I have made great achievements over the years, not to mention that this guard does not necessarily have to be
It is necessary to limit the cultivation level. Those who practice physical training are more resistant to beatings. If there is any danger along the way, having someone like me beside the young master can be a human shield at critical moments."
Qingyang's words were in line with the mayor's wishes. Among the guards, there must be those who dare to fight and fight, and there must be those who are good at defense and can protect safety. Only in this way can we keep our son safe. The mayor twisted his beard and said: "You are
Where are you? Is there anyone who can guarantee you? I see you are a bit unfamiliar. It is a long way to Tongcoff County. If your origin is unknown, we cannot use you."
Qingyang didn't expect that the other party would suddenly ask this question. No one else mentioned this in the interview before, so why did he need someone to vouch for him? But when things get tough, he can't give up halfway. Qingyang can only say: "I'm from under Mai Town.
In Touqi Village, Taoist Mao and others can act as guarantees."
The mayor turned his attention to a few people in Touqi Village. The third fat man had always looked down on Qingyang, and he was about to do something bad as soon as he rolled his eyes. Taoist Mao next to him saw that something was not good, so he quickly squeezed out from behind and said, "I
You can be a guarantor, this Qingyang is from our first seven villages."
At this time, Old Man Zhi and Sister-in-law Sun also stepped forward and said, "We can all be guarantees."
Seeing that several other villagers had come forward to vouch for Qingyang, if he did something bad again, it would not be just one or two people who would be offended. The three fat men immediately stopped thinking about it. Although the origin of this Qingyang was unknown, he was still the same after all.
Those who were selected in the name of Touqi Village will become half fellow villagers outside, and they can take care of each other. If there are many acquaintances in the escort team, it will be easier to gain a foothold, right?
Since there was someone guarantor, the mayor didn't say anything more, nodded and said: "In that case, even if you pass, you must work hard and protect my son along the way. Once things are done, there will be something for you when you come back."
A big reward, but if there is any mistake, I will not spare you."
Unexpectedly, after practicing for so many years, he has become a golden elixir monk and would be threatened by a small late-stage Qi refining monk. Qingyang secretly smiled in his heart, but with a solemn expression on his face, he cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, Mayor.
, since I have joined the escort team and received the salary from the Ma family, I will do my best to protect the safety of the young master on the road, and I will never dare to make any mistakes."
After Qingyang was selected, the selection of the guards was basically coming to an end. One by one, three more of the remaining twenty or so people passed the level. As a result, the number was lower than the original target of twenty people.
There were two more people. Maybe the mayor and Ma Xingchen were in a good mood, or maybe they really didn't need money, so they did not eliminate them anymore and directly accepted all twenty-two people into the escort team.
In today's competition, the mayor only accepted a total of twenty-two people, but three of them were from the first seven villages. This ratio is a bit ridiculous. You must know that in the entire Mayi Town, not counting those in the town,
There are at least twenty villages like Touqi Village alone.
Being able to be elected as guards, the three fat men, the paper old man and others naturally got their wish. Not only did the whole family no longer have to pay taxes, but they also had a fixed income every month, and they entered heaven. There were also many people who were lost, such as Taoist Mao, Sister-in-law Sun, etc.
People can only envy them.
Considering that he had no family, Qingyang gave his tax-free quota to Taoist Mao as a thank you for being the first to stand up and speak for him. However, I am afraid that this quota will not be used for long. Qingyang will not be able to use it after leaving Mai Town.
Come back again, just don't involve him then.
After seeing off Taoist Mao and others, Qingyang and the other guards moved into the mayor's house that night. It was a small courtyard on the side against the wall. The conditions were pretty good, at least more shabby than Sister-in-law Sun's house in Touqi Village.
The inn is much better, two people share a room, and three meals a day are provided on time.
Everyone's daily tasks are also very simple, which is to practice with the old guards at the mayor's house, and occasionally tell some stories about their duties as guards and their loyal protection of the master. Qingyang is no exception. He practices with everyone every day for seven or eight days.
, on the contrary, the body is getting better and better.
At this point, it has been two full months since Qingyang fell into the Demonic Abyss. From being unconscious at first, to being unable to move after waking up, to being able to get up and barely walk, now his body has gradually recovered to be better than a normal person, even if
It's not much worse than low-level pulse-opening monks.
He has been using the method taught by the One-Horned Ghost King, but it seems that it is far away to unlock the Seven Escape Locks. There is no way to repair the cracks in the golden elixir, and he cannot use any of his strength. Fortunately, he has joined Ma Xingchen's team.
The escort team will soon be able to follow him to Tongcoff County, Dry Tomb City and other big places. If they search slowly, they can always find solutions to these problems.
