Chapter 642

"Let's go to the Heavenly Sword Sect. We must join the Heavenly Sword Sect." Liu Xiaohu took Liu Xiaocai and Fang Xiao's hands, and walked in the front.The rest of the children followed suit.

When they arrived in front of a magnificent city gate, each child, like a beggar, was black and white except for his eyes, and the tattered clothes on his body had been replaced by gray and black animal skins.Although Fang Xiao was wearing a fairy dress, without the maintenance of mana, although the fairy group would not be tattered, it was too dirty to see the color.She didn't take off the fairy skirt, but wrapped it with a layer of animal skin.A group of savage children, each carrying a leather bag, standing in line at the gate waiting to enter the city, is also a rare thing.The adults covered their noses one by one, staying far away from the group of children.When it was their turn, the city guard also frowned and took a step back, covered his nose, and said inarticulately: "Go, go, what's the matter with a group of brats?"

"My lord, we are also going to the city." Liu Xiaohu stood in front of the children, saluted respectfully, and said politely.

"It's fine to enter the city, one tael of silver per person!" The city guard looked at the group of beggars up and down, and said maliciously.

When the surrounding crowd heard the offer, they all gasped and looked at the children with sympathy.The dozen or so copper coins in Liu Xiaohu's hand were pinched tightly by him.He took a deep breath, bowed again, and said: "My lord, we have inquired that if you enter the city, adults will receive two copper coins per person, children over ten years old will receive one copper coin per person, and children under ten years old will not be allowed Money. We are a group of 13 people, my two younger sisters are under ten years old, and none of us are under 16 years old..."

"Hey, tell me the rules. What I say is the rules! I say you can take as much as you want. If you have money, you can enter. If you don't have money, get away from me!" Liu Xiaohu kicked him, trying to kick him away.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Fang Xiao directly lifted the small wooden stick he was leaning on, and touched the ankle kicked by the man. The man suddenly felt his leg numb and couldn't stand stably, and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Smelly brat, if you dare to beat me, I'll see if I don't beat you to death!" The city guard did not get up for a while, but he refused to admit defeat, pointed at Fang Xiao, and cursed.

Liu Xiaohu took a step forward and stood in front of Fang Xiao, carefully guarding against the three defenders who rushed up.The other older children also stepped forward to protect Fang Xiao and Liu Xiaocai inside.

"What are you doing? The children in my family are ignorant and offended the elders. I'm really sorry. This is their entrance fee, please take it!" An old man pushed aside and surrounded him. The crowd squeezed up, stopped in front of the children cheerfully, bowed their heads and apologized, then took out a handful of copper coins from their arms, stuffed them into the hands of the soldier who fell on the ground, and stretched out his hands to help him. The man stood up and tapped his leg lightly, and the soldier stood up again.The soldier looked at the copper coins in his hand, and looked at the old man with complicated eyes, so he nodded and moved away.He is aware of the changes in his feet.I know that I have met a master today.And this master happened to be the humble old man in front of him.

Fang Xiao also saw the old man's movements clearly, she didn't say anything, while Liu Xiaohu led a group of young people and followed the old man into the city.After entering the city gate, Liu Xiaohu stepped forward and bowed to the old man, and said, "Thank you for your help, sir, this is our entrance fee." Then, he squeezed a dozen copper coins that were already sweating in his hands, Give it all.

The old man glanced at the children one by one, especially staying on Fang Xiao's face for a while, and said with a smile: "What do you children come to the city for, you can't come to vote for relatives!"

"To be honest, we came to Tianjian City to learn from a teacher." Liu Xiaohu was silent for a while, but said it honestly.

"You? All?" The old man glanced at Fang Xiao and Liu Xiaocai.

"Of course, but my two younger sisters are still young. If Xianmen doesn't accept them, let them stay with us, and we will learn from them when they are older." Liu Xiaohu also followed the old man's eyes and looked at Fang Xiao and Liu Xiaocai, "I don't know if the old man may give some advice to us, we will definitely be grateful."

"It's all right for you big ones to give it a try, but it's not so easy for the Heavenly Sword Sect to accept disciples. The Heavenly Sword Sect accepts disciples every three years. It's a coincidence that you guys came here, and you will start the mountain next year. Accept apprentices. How are you going to spend this year?" The old man nodded.

"Well, the few of us will find a job and do it first. When the gate of the mountain opens, we will try it." Liu Xiaohu never thought that he would have to wait at the foot of the mountain for a year.

The old man shook his head and said: "You children, you need strength or no strength, you need martial arts, but you don't have martial arts. It's not easy to find a part-time job. Even if you find it, there are so many of you, and the store will not be exhausted. There are two little dolls under the age of ten."

"Here, please show us the way, old man." Liu Xiaohu hastily bowed again.

"How about this, my young master, next year he will go to the mountains to learn art from a teacher. He is short of a few companions, and you children can just be with him. If necessary, you only need to lend a hand and let my young master pass the examination. It just so happens that there are three young masters in our family who are going to participate in the assessment, and nine of them are needed to accompany you. You only need nine of you to accompany my young master to the reference, and the rest of the children can do the reference by themselves. This is not a very good thing. Here During the one-year period, your board and lodging problems have also been solved, and you don’t have to worry about missing the reference time.” The old man said with narrowed eyes.

"This, let's discuss it." Liu Xiaohu was about to agree, but Fang Xiao pulled his clothes, signaling him not to agree so quickly.The old man saw Fang Xiao's small actions, and he said with a smile: "It seems that this little guy has something to say. Tell me, see if my answer satisfies you."

Fang Xiao showed a smile: "Old man, I just want to ask, how many apprentices are the Heavenly Sword Sect going to accept? If my elder brothers accompany the three young masters to the assessment, what is their passing rate? Your old man is so dedicated to help us consider , What kind of remuneration do we have to pay?"

"The little guy is very smart! The Heavenly Sword Sect hosts an apprenticeship ceremony every three years, with 300 apprentices each time. However, there are hundreds of thousands of people who come from all over the world to refer to them. So, even if your brothers don't Accompany my young master to refer, their pass rate is not high. And the price you have to pay is very simple, if you get the quota to enter the mountain, but my young master does not get it, you must give up the quota and let my young master advance Shan, and you just wait until next time to fight for the quota." The old man stroked his beard.

"Will Shanmen agree with us to do this?" Fang Xiao asked puzzledly, can he still give up the quota he got in the exam?
"You don't know this. Every time there are three hundred people who get the quota, as long as you are not the most special one, the Heavenly Sword Sect only distributes the entry tokens to the new mountain disciples. Behind the mountain, I will not immediately arrange for you to study under the sect of some immortal, but first arrange for you to study in the new hall. No one knows anyone, and you only accept people with tokens." The old man twirled his beard and said .

"What do you think?" Liu Xiaohu asked the other children.

"I think we can give it a try. Even if it doesn't work this time, we have to wait another three years at most, and we still have a chance."

"Old man, I have another question." Fang Xiao turned to look at the old man, and asked, "Is there an age limit and a limit on the number of times for this entrance examination?"

The old man narrowed his eyes, and a bright light shot out of his pupils. He said with a smile: "Little girl really has a lot to worry about. There is only an age limit for the assessment, and there is no limit for the number of assessments. Only those who are below can participate in the assessment. You They are still young, and have at least two opportunities for assessment."

Fang Xiao looked at Liu Xiaohu and said, "Brother Xiaohu, you are already 14 years old, you missed this time, and there is only one opportunity for assessment left, are you willing to wait for three more years?"

"Only three places are needed, we have 13 people, besides Xiao Cai and A Xiao, there are 11 people. Brother Xiao Hu is the oldest, and the rest are between ten and 12 years old. I made a mistake this time. There are still two opportunities for assessment, so this time, no matter what, we must leave the opportunity to Brother Xiaohu." Liu Xiaoshan said.

"The ten of us, if we get the chance, we will give the chance to the three young masters. It won't be a loss for us to participate again next time." Liu Dazhuang said.

"Have you ever thought about it, if the children of the uncle's family will also participate in the assessment next time, won't you continue to give up the places?" Fang Xiao blinked.

"This!" A group of children were a little silent.And the old man standing by the side narrowed his eyes when he heard Fang Xiao's words, this girl is a ghost.It really hits the nail on the head with the heart of the matter.He just wanted these children to refer to them again and again, so as to win more places for their young masters.

"What should I do?"

"This time, you all go to refer to it. No matter what, you must try to pass all of them. At that time, three places will be released, and as long as the seven of you who enter can get the attention of the teachers above in the three years. , When I refer to it next time, I just need to mention this matter to the elders in Hemen, I think, we can all follow into the sect." Fang Xiao said.What she didn't say was that she planned to let everyone take advantage of this opportunity to join the Heavenly Sword Sect.When each sect recruits disciples, it also recruits handymen.Although handymen are not counted as disciples, as long as they are good enough, they are gold, and they will shine everywhere.With her here, it is guaranteed that their qualifications will be the best among their peers.She is still very confident in her medical skills and pharmacology.

After hearing Fang Xiao's words, several people nodded, and now go to the old man's house first, only need to give up three places, but they can get a stable life in exchange for the next year.

After discussing the matter, the children nodded and followed the old man.
