"It's not easy, the Du family is finally recruiting guards."
"The Du family is currently recruiting 20 guards, who must be at least sixteen years old and physically strong."
"The guards of the Du family have a salary of ten Xuan coins a month, and the captain of the guard is paid fifty Xuan coins. The salary is much better than that of other families."
"The Du family is recruiting guards. This is a good opportunity. If you can enter the Du family as a guard, you may even be able to learn the martial arts skills of the Du family. Then you will truly stand out. It is rare for the Du family to recruit guards. This is a good opportunity." Chance."
Beside the bustling streets of Shicheng, several imposing men in strong attire pasted a big red notice on the city wall. Suddenly, a large group of figures gathered in front of the city wall, whispering and discussing.
Among the several imposing men, the leading one rode a dark red headed horse with two horns on the head, a strong and strong horse, and his momentum was unreasonably oppressive. Looking at the gathered crowd, he said: "Tomorrow morning My Du family recruits guards from the outside world. As long as you can get three tricks among the juniors of the main line of my Du family, you can become a guard. If you can defeat or tie any young boy from the main line of my Du family, you can become the captain of the guard. Twenty, first come, first served."
The big man on the horse has a kind of pride and arrogance in his sharp eyes. The status of the Du family in the entire Stone City is not ordinary, and as a member of the Du family, he also has a pride that is more than ordinary people.
As soon as the words fell, several people behind the big man turned over and jumped on their horses to stand side by side behind the leading big man. Their movements were neat and neat, and then they walked away.
"The person riding the sweaty horse in front is Du Qi, the deputy commander of the Du family. Rumor has it that he has already reached the Xiantian realm."
"It would be great if I could also reach the Xiantian Realm, then within this stone city, walking sideways is no problem, let's see who dares to show me face in the future."
"It's better for you to pray to God and worship Buddha first, and pray that you can be admitted to the Du family to become a guard tomorrow. Although the younger generations of the Du family are not very old, they are all extremely powerful. I am afraid that there are not many people who can support the three moves. , Innate Realm, you can go dreaming first, that kind of level, how can anyone be able to reach it?"
"Hey, tomorrow I must join the Du family as a guard."
Among the crowd of onlookers, a bearded, slightly dark-skinned, burly man smiled mysteriously at the companions around him, and said in a low voice, "I'll tell you guys secretly, as long as you can become the captain of the guard, It is not impossible to be able to practice some of the Du family's martial arts and martial arts, and become a member of the Du family."
"Heizi, you lied to us, right? The captain of the guard can practice the exercises and martial arts of the Du family." Several partners around the man were shocked immediately, and envy welled up in their eyes.
The man named Heizi patted his chest and assured, "One of my distant relatives is from the Du family, I can still lie to you."
"You actually have relatives from the Du family, so you won't be able to make a decision tomorrow." Hearing this, several people around immediately showed envy towards Heizi.
The news of the Du family's recruitment of guards immediately attracted the attention of countless people. As a new big family in Shicheng, they have become powerful in recent years and have become one of the five big families in Shicheng. Received the attention of the whole city.
At dusk, thick clouds and mists linger in the sky above Shicheng, and the sun near the horizon is like a ball of fire that is about to go out, bursting out streaks of crimson rays in the gaps in the clouds and mists, and then descending on the mountains.
Stone City is close to the Wild Beast Mountain Range and is located on the border of the empire. There are often monsters and beasts haunting it, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons from three religions and nine streams. This also makes everyone raised in the water and soil of Stone City martial arts, and they are also extraordinarily tough. Among them, the five major families are martial arts. family.
"Pedal!"
Several horses raised their hooves, setting off a dusty road, with extraordinary momentum, Du Qi, the official deputy commander of the Du family's guards, who was riding on a sweaty horse.
Behind Du Qi, a big man raised his head slightly to look at the sky, then smiled at the people on horseback beside him, and said: "On the thirteenth day, how about betting that the fool is still there, how about paying one for five Xuan coins?"
"That idiot seems to be getting more and more stupid recently. I'm afraid he's still there. I bet he's still there."
"It's been the thirteenth day. That idiot should be gone. The previous record was only ten days. I bet he's gone."
Five mysterious coins are half a month's wages for an ordinary guard, but these big men are very interested. It seems that this is not the first time this kind of bet is not the first time, they took out five mysterious coins and handed them to the first big man. .
"You guys should pay attention. Although that person is not favored in the clan and his behavior is rather weird, don't blame me for not warning you. After all, that person is the young master of the Du family and your master. If one day you Because of this matter, I will not be able to protect you at that time."
On the sweaty horse, Du Qi glared at those big men with a rather stern look.
The big man who was the first to make a fuss just now was also a little afraid under Du Qi's sharp gaze. His eyes flickered, and then he smiled coyly, and said lightly: "Vice commander, now the entire Du family, and even the entire Shicheng people are calling him a fool behind his back, not to mention He is useless and stupid in the first place, so it shouldn't be a problem for us to yell like this in private."
"Although this is the case, the master is the master after all. No matter how useless or stupid that person is, the blood of the Du family is on his body. You must know your position, otherwise you are doomed to suffer big losses in the future." Du Qi said fiercely. He glared at those men.
"I know the deputy commander."
The men suddenly shuddered and nodded one after another. They naturally understood what the deputy commander said.
Seeing this, Du Qi's expression eased a little, then he turned his head and glanced sideways at the big man who was the first to make a fuss, and said: "Five Xuan coins, add me five Xuan coins too, I bet that guy is still standing there on."
"Haha, the deputy commander also made a bet."
Seeing this, the tense atmosphere just now dissipated a lot, and they galloped faster, wanting to know whether the member of the Du family is still there at this time.
The Du family of the five major families in Shicheng is located, with magnificent buildings, and a barren hill in front of the gate of the Du family is particularly eye-catching in front of the majestic Du family.
That barren mountain is strange to say, there is no grass growing all the year round, birds do not fall, snakes, insects, rats and ants are not close, it is like a dead place, so that people in the Du family think that place is unlucky and avoid it.
It is said that the main gate of the Du family was originally facing that hillside, but because of the existence of that ominous place, the people of the Du family insisted on moving the gate of the Du family to the front more than ten years ago.
From then on, the Du family, which was originally a third-rate family, began to rise in Shicheng. This also made people believe that the barren mountain was an ominous place, and no one dared to approach it.
The deadly barren hills are barren, dry and full of sand and stones.
On the barren mountain, there is half a stone tablet standing, and the remaining half stone tablet should be buried in the barren mountain.
Half of the stele exposed the barren hills, and it is also extremely huge. It is three feet high and mottled all over. The stele has always existed.
The stele may have been cracked with many intricate and small cracks due to its age.
No one in the Du family would be interested in the stele, and since the stele was on the ominous barren mountain, no one would pay attention to it.
It is said that a strong man from the Du family had inspected the stele before, and it was just an ordinary stone stele, nothing special about it.
The only thing special about the stele is that there was a storm ten years ago. The famous young master Du Shaofu of the Du family was in a daze in front of the stele. The one who was struck by lightning fell into a coma for three days and three nights.
"Damn, that idiot is still there, this is the thirteenth day."
"I lost another half a month's wages, and the rest of this month will be sad. Then lend me some living expenses for emergency."
As the sun was setting, in front of the gate of the Du family, several strong men stared blankly at the thin young figure in front of the barren mountain stele, and then their eyes were mixed with joy and depression.
Those who win are happy, but those who lose five profound coins are naturally not happy.
Who would have thought that the person who was called a fool by the entire Du family would actually break the record this time, standing in front of the stele without sleep for thirteen days.
"Let's go, it's going to be dark soon. Tomorrow, there will be many young masters and ladies who will go to the guard recruitment to try their hands. Can there be any mistakes?"
Du Qi withdrew his eyes from the stone tablet on the barren mountain, and sighed secretly, recruiting guards tomorrow is actually a small exercise for the younger generation of the Du family, killing two birds with one stone, but the one on the barren hill at this time, although also a member of the Du family My young master, but tomorrow's practice has nothing to do with him, and I'm afraid it will never have anything to do with him. They are both young masters and young ladies, but this is the difference.
"That idiot is still standing there, it's been thirteen days, he's getting more and more stupid."
"It is said that many doctors in the family have been seen by that fool, but all of them have no effect. There is really no cure."
Outside the Du's house, many servants and maids who come and go look at the barren hills in front of them from time to time. There is a bit of regret and sigh in their eyes. A young master who should be rich and well-clothed, unexpectedly turned out to be so stupid .
The sky is getting darker and darker, the dusk is gradually passing by, and there is still a faint blush in the place where the sun has set, and as the last afterglow recedes, the sky and the earth are also dimmed.
In front of the stele, a young man in purple robes was sitting cross-legged. He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. On a slightly childish face, he looked a little more resolute and sharp than his peers. On his slightly closed eyes, Thick eyebrows are like swords.
The boy's name is Du Shaofu, he looks good, if he is not from Shicheng, it is really hard to imagine why he would be called a fool.
In the dark blue night sky, stars gradually emerged, and a crescent moon was deep in the sky, like a scimitar blooming with a bright white light.
In the dead of night, the entire Du family was asleep, and no one would pay attention to the young man on the barren hill.
The ancient stone monument stands tall, and it looks extraordinarily weird under the moonlight.
"boom!"
Suddenly, on the ancient stone tablet, the originally intricate cracks began to emit a faint light, and the cracks continued to crack, and the whole barren mountain was shaking slightly, but no one saw all this, otherwise it must be ruthless. Can't be surprised.
"Crack."
Finally, the cracks in the ancient stone tablet that had stood for countless years became bigger and bigger, and the light in the cracks became more and more dazzling, turning into a light curtain and covering Du Shaofu's body, and then the whole stone tablet cracked suddenly, turning into a pile of Crushed stone powder piled up barren hills.
"Chi Chi!"
With the disappearance of the light curtain, Du Shaofu's tightly closed eyes in front of the stone tablet suddenly opened, and two strands of light shot out from his eyes, like lightning in this night, an ancient breath swept out from that thin body, The vibrating surrounding space trembled.
"call!"
A mouthful of turbid air was spit out from his mouth, a faint smile appeared on Du Shaofu's face, he sighed softly, and said: "After ten years, I finally comprehended the first form!"
