Gate of God

Chapter 5: Loneliness is like snow

Views:

As the eight sergeants continued to advance, when the golden cloth was occasionally blown up by the wind, Fang Zhengzheng glanced at the black exposed inside. In addition to black, there seemed to be some kind of golden brilliance flashing on it. .

I don’t know if it’s reflected in the gold thread fabric

"Everyone, be quiet!"

At this time, the village chief walked out of the crowd with a smile on his face, stroking his beard, holding a cigarette rod.

"The head of Nanshan Village, 'Meng Bai', welcomes all the adults of the Shenhou Mansion!"

"Well, I'm a bit pressed for time, general. Let's start as soon as we have gathered people!" A tall man with a square face wearing black black armor with a moire pattern came out from behind the mysterious object and waved to the village chief impatiently. .

"Yes, yes, old man, I will hurry up. General Li, please come to the stage and sit for a while." Village Chief Meng Bai's face remained unchanged and he still smiled.

"Okay." General Li nodded and turned to look at the eight sergeants next to him.

"Carry the things up."

"Yes!" The eight sergeants responded in unison, and then, with a slight jump, they landed firmly on the high platform.

Such a scene made Fang Zhengzheng feel a little surprised. This world is really different. There are eight sergeants on a one-meter-high platform, carrying such a big thing, and they can get on it at the drop of a hat

The villagers under the high platform were also stunned when they saw the eight sergeants who climbed onto the high platform at the same time.

"As expected of a member of the Shenhou Mansion!"

"That's natural. Have you seen the red triangle mark on their armor? If my guess is correct, these people should be the 'Red Feather Guards' of the Shenhou Mansion!"

"Red Feather Guard?! I heard that in order to join the Red Feather Guard, you must at least succeed in 'Entering the Tao'. Once you enter the Tao, it means that you are a big shot who has mastered the Tao of all things!"

After hearing the introduction from one villager, the other villagers immediately looked at the eight sergeants on the high platform with envy.

The village chief Meng Bai smiled again at this time, and then climbed up from the side of the high platform, waved the cigarette rod in his hand to the talking villagers, and cleared his throat.

"Folks! The adults of Shenhou Mansion are here, and good days are coming for our Nanshan Village. Wherever there is Shenhou Mansion, beautiful flowers are blooming everywhere. Shenhou Mansion is the hope of our Nanshan Village. Shenhou Mansion is great, Shenhou Mansion..."

Listening to the "eloquent talk" of the village chief Meng Bai, Fang Zhengzheng finally understood deeply why Nanshan Village is so poor...

Please, even if it's flattery, can you be more tactful? What about using things as metaphors for people? At worst, it would be better if you tell a fable.

On the high platform, General Li, who was sitting on the chair on the far left, was a little restless, his brows furrowed tightly, and his hands kept tapping the handle of the wooden chair he was sitting on, looking at the villagers on the stage who were foaming at the mouth. Chang Mengbai endured it with all his strength.

As a general in the army, he prefers the simplicity of the villagers rather than this unreserved flattery.

The other sergeants were also standing on the spot one by one at this moment, like javelins fixed on the ground, but their faces were somewhat dark.

The entire square echoed with the voice of the village chief Meng Bai. Fortunately, the village chief Meng Bai was several decades older. Although his education level was not very high, he still had a sharp eye.

After playing freely for more than ten minutes, I finally took a puff from the cigarette rod in my hand and blew out a puff of mist.

"Okay, now we start the first part of the examination. The selected people all stand in two rows, with the child test on the left and the main test on the right. They line up one by one and take turns to test!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of people walked out of the crowd and lined up in two rows amid a burst of chaos.

The total number of people participating in the examination this time was only about forty. After being divided into the children's examination and the main examination, there were only about twenty people each.

Although the scene was a bit chaotic, it was arranged quickly...

General Li and all the sergeants on the high platform exhaled.

When Fang Zhengzheng heard what the village chief Meng Bai said, he was a little curious. Testing? How is this world going to be tested

Squeezing through the gaps in the crowd, he soon squeezed to the front, and then he saw a familiar figure. At this moment, Li Huer was being beaten by a tall man wearing animal skins, with dense veins on his hands and dark skin. The man is holding hands and queuing up.

In front of the team, several sergeants were preparing something.

The man was none other than Li Huer's father, Li Zhuangshi, the deputy captain of the Nanshan Village hunting team.

Li Hu'er was looking around with grinning teeth. He immediately noticed Fang Zhengzheng, who was crowded at the front of the crowd. He had just been severely spanked. When he saw the chicken drumstick in Fang Zhengzheng's hand, he immediately became angry and stood up. In the team, they kept gesticulating at Fang Zhengzheng and mumbling.

Judging from the shape of the mouth, it seems to be saying, I want you to look good after I finish taking the children's exam!

Fang Zhengzheng looked at Li Huer quietly, then put the chicken drumstick in his hand to his mouth, pulled it apart and bit off a piece, chewing it hard, and the oil spilled out of his mouth.

This made Li Huer go berserk in an instant.

Some of the little swarthy faces turned red from suppressing their emotions, and they raised their fat arms and were about to leave the group.

Then, he slapped him on the butt.

"Be honest! If you dare to act like a fool again, little bastard, I'll break your legs!"

Li Zhuangshi was a little embarrassed today. His son played "robbery" in front of the whole village. If the villagers hadn't seen that Li Huer was only six years old, they would have done more than just spank him. , it is estimated that he will receive at least thirty big blows.

The first item of the test made Fang Zhengzheng a little curious.

because…

After the sergeants were ready, he discovered that they were actually drawing blood! It feels the same as the physical examination in the previous life, but I don’t know what the use is

While Fang Zhengzheng was thinking about it, the villagers next to him spoke.

"It would be great if we in Nanshan Village could detect someone with the 'Xuantian Dao Body'!"

"Xuantian Taoist body?! How is that possible? Let alone our Nanshan Village, there is no second Xuantian Taoist body in the entire Bei Desert, right? The main purpose of the detection in Shenhou Mansion is to see if there are any 'demons' mixed in... "

Fang Zhengnan was once again moved by the wonder of this world. So there are still demons? What is the other Xuantian Taoist body? Don’t know if you have it? He waved his arms, thinking that this kind of luck was unlikely.

Then, I gave up...

A six or eight-year-old child was grabbed by the arms and forced to draw blood by a group of sergeants. He was definitely not gentle. Therefore, the children in Nanshan Village were frightened to some extent, and they all started crying.

The entire square became more and more lively.

When it was Li Huer's turn, the situation seemed to have turned for the better.

I saw Li Hu'er turning his fat arm and staring at the long blood vessel in the sergeant's hand. He let the bright red blood flow out of his arm without blinking, with a fearless look on his face.

When the blood was drawn, Li Huer glanced at Fang Zhengyi demonstratively.

The meaning is very obvious. Look, I am born brave, but I just don’t cry!

A smile appeared on Fang Zhengzheng's lips, and then he spoke.

His dark eyes blinked, looking at the fearless Li Hu'er, looking extremely confused.

"Brother Hu'er, why didn't you cry? The other brothers cried when they were drawing blood. If Brother Hu'er doesn't cry, will the people in the Shenhou Mansion regard him as a different kind of fool?"

Although Fang Zhengzheng's voice, standing directly in front of the crowd, was not loud, it was enough for Li Zhuangshi in the team to hear clearly.

Li Zhuangshi, who had just finished drawing blood, glanced at the children around him who were crying happily, and then looked at Li Huer beside him, who was blinking his eyes and puffing his mouth.

My heart suddenly became tense.

The words spoken by a six-year-old child are the most unscrupulous. Although the performance of not crying has been seen by people familiar with him, it is all praise for bravery, but the people in the Shenhou Mansion do not know his son.

What if the people in the Shenhou Mansion misunderstood

Although this possibility is low, it does not mean that it is absolutely impossible. If he is really misunderstood as a fool, the loss will be too great!

Thinking of this, Li Zhuangshi blinked at Li Huer, indicating that Li Huer could cry...

However, Li Huer was puffing his lips proudly at this moment, showing off his bravery and fearlessness to Fang Zhengzheng, and did not even see the gaze directed by Li Zhuangshi.

Li Zhuangshi couldn't help it anymore and looked at the soldiers around him who were in charge of drawing blood with seemingly strange eyes.

He raised his hand and threw a big-eared melon seed on Li Huer's face.

"Pah!" It was crisp and sweet.

Li Huer was stunned for a moment. Before the pride on his face could dissipate, he raised his head and stared at Li Zhuangshi blankly. He really didn't understand what mistake he had made.

Seeing Li Huer's dull look, Li Zhuangshi felt hatred in his heart.

If someone else sees this expression, he is really a fool.

He didn't dare to hesitate anymore, he had to cut through the mess quickly. This time, Li Zhuangshi didn't hold back, raised his right hand high again, and threw another big-eared melon seed.

"Bang!" This time, it was really heavy.

The whole square echoed with this slap in the face.

"Cry! Are you stupid?" After Li Zhuangshi slapped him, he still felt a little resentful.

Li Huer held it in, but the burning sting on his face finally made him unable to hold it back any longer.

"Wow!"

The tragic cry that pierced the sky finally succeeded in ringing out.

Fang Zhengzheng sighed softly, raised his head slightly again, and looked at the sky, a trace of worry flashed on his face.

"Life is always as lonely as snow..."
