Chapter 1: Master Fool
"It's not easy, the Du family is finally going to recruit guards."
"The Du family is currently recruiting 20 guards. They are required to be at least 16 years old and physically strong."
"The guards of the Du family have a monthly salary of ten mysterious coins, and the captain of the guards has fifty mysterious coins. The treatment is much better than that of other families."
"The Du family recruits guards, this is a good opportunity. If you can enter the Du family as a guard, maybe you will be able to learn the martial skills of the Du family. Then it will be truly outstanding. The Du family rarely recruits guards, this is a good opportunity. Chance."
Beside the lively streets of Shicheng, a few big men dressed in strong suits and imposing manners posted a big red notice on the city wall. Suddenly a large group of figures gathered in front of the city wall and whispered, and there was a lot of discussion.
Among the imposing big men, a strong man in the lead rode a full-bodied, dark-red, double-horned, sturdy and strong horse. His aura was unprovoked and oppressive. He looked at the gathered crowd and said, "Tomorrow morning. My Du family recruits guards. As long as I can take three moves among the juniors of the main line of my Du family, I can become a guard. If I can beat or tie any of the young children of the main line of my Du family, I can become the captain of the guard. Twenty, first come, first served."
The big man on the steed has a kind of pride and arrogance in his sharp eyes. The Du family's status in the entire Shicheng is not ordinary, and as a member of the Du family, there is a pride that is more than ordinary people.
As soon as the voice fell, several people behind the big man turned over and jumped onto the horses, standing side by side behind the leading big man, their movements neat and neat, and then they walked away.
"The one riding the sweaty and bloody flooded horse in front is Du Qi, the deputy commander of the Du family. It is rumored that he has already reached the Xiantian realm."
"If only I could go to the Xiantian realm, then in this stone city, it would be no problem to walk sideways. Let's see who will dare to show Lao Tzu's face in the future."
"You'd better go to the gods and worship Buddha first. I pray that you can be admitted to the Du family as a guard tomorrow. Although the juniors of the Du family are young, they are all extremely strong. I'm afraid not many people can support the three moves. , Xiantian realm, you should dream first, that kind of level, how can anyone achieve it?”
"Hey, tomorrow I must join the Du family as a guard."
In the crowd of onlookers, a burly man with a beard face, slightly dark skin, and a burly body smiled mysteriously at his companions, and said in a low voice: "I'll tell you a few secretly, as long as you can become the captain of the guard, you can do it. It is not impossible to become a member of the Du family by being able to practice some of the martial arts and martial arts of the Du family."
"Heizi, aren't you lying to us, is the captain of the guard able to practice the exercises and martial arts of the Du family?" Several partners around the man were suddenly shocked, and then their eyes filled with envy.
The man named Heizi patted his chest and assured, "One of my distant relatives is a member of the Du family. I can still lie to you."
"You actually have relatives who belong to the Du family, so tomorrow is still uncertain." When several people around heard the words, they immediately showed envy to 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 been strong in recent years, ranking among the five major families in Shicheng, and they have continued strong momentum. Every move is naturally attracted the attention of the whole city.
At dusk, thick clouds and mist entrenched the sky above the stone city. The sun near the horizon was like a fireball that was about to go out. It shot strips of crimson rays in the gap between the clouds and mist, and then descended on the mountains.
Shicheng is close to the Wild Beast Mountains and is located at the border of the empire. There are often monsters and beasts. The three religions and nine classes are mixed.
It also made everyone who was raised by the water and soil in Shicheng to be martial, and they were all extraordinarily sturdy. Among them, the five major families were even more powerful families of martial arts.
"Dengdeng!"
Several horses raised their hoofs, setting off dust all the way, with extraordinary momentum, Du Qi, the deputy commander of the official Du family guard group who rode the sweaty horses.
Behind Du Qi, a big man raised his head slightly and looked at the sky, then smiled at several people on horseback beside him, and said, "On the thirteenth day, bet that fool is still there, how about losing one for five profound coins?"
"That fool seems to be getting more and more stupid recently. I'm afraid he is still there. I bet he is still there."
"It's been the thirteenth day. That fool should be gone. The previous record was only ten days. I bet it's gone."
Five Xuan coins is half a month's salary for an ordinary guard, but these big men are very interested. It seems that this kind of bet is not the first time. They took out five Xuan coins and handed them over to the first big man. .
"You guys pay attention, although that one is not favored in the clan, and his behavior is rather strange, but don't blame me for not warning you, that is the young master of the Du family after all, is your master, in case one day you all Because of this matter, I will not be able to protect you at that time."
On the sweaty horse, Du Qi glared at the big men with a stern look.
The big man who was the first to roar was also a little scared under Du Qi's fierce gaze, his eyes flashed, and then he smiled shyly, and said softly: "Deputy commander, now the entire Du family, even the entire Shicheng people are calling him a fool behind their backs, not to mention He is useless and stupid in the first place, so it shouldn't matter if we call in private like this."
"Although that is the case, the master is the master after all. No matter how stupid he is, he still has the blood of the Du family on his body. You must be clear about your position, or you will be doomed to suffer a big loss in the future." Du Qi fiercely said. Glancing at the men.
"I know the deputy commander."
A few men suddenly shuddered and nodded, and they naturally understood what the deputy commander said.
When Du Qi saw this, his expression softened a bit, then turned his head and glanced at the first big man who had just made a fuss, and said, "Five Xuan coins, don't you, add me five Xuan coins, I bet that one is still standing there. on."
"Haha, the deputy commander also made a bet."
When several big men saw this, the tense atmosphere just now dissipated a lot, and the horses galloped and accelerated, all wanting to know whether the Du family member was still alive at this time.
The Du family of the five major families in Shicheng is located, and the building is magnificent, and a barren hill in front of the gate of the Du family is particularly eye-catching before the majestic Du family.
That barren mountain is strange to say, with no grass, no birds, no snakes, worms, mice and ants.
It is said that the main gate of the Du family originally faced the hillside, but because of the existence of the ominous place, the Du family's people just moved 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, which made people believe that the barren mountain was an ominous place, and no one dared to approach it.
The deadly barren mountains, barren and dry, covered with sand and gravel.
On the barren mountain, there is half a stone tablet standing, and the remaining half of the stone tablet should be buried in the barren mountain.
Half of the stone stele exposed in the barren mountains is also extremely huge. It is three feet high and mottled. I don't know how many years it has existed. At least no one in the Du family now knows how long this stele has existed. The tombstone has always existed.
The stone tablet may have been cracked with many intricate and small cracks due to the long history.
No one in the Du family would be interested in the stele, and since the stele was on an unknown barren mountain, no one paid any attention to it.
It is said that the Du family had also checked the stone tablet before, and it was an ordinary stone tablet that could no longer be ordinary, and there was nothing special about it.
The only thing special about the stele is that in the storm ten years ago, the famous Du family's master Du Shaofu was stunned in front of the stele. A dry thunder struck the stele, but the stele was fine. After being struck by lightning, he slept for three days and three nights.
"Damn, that stupid... that person is still there, this is the thirteenth day."
"I lost another half a month's wages, and the rest of the month will be sad. Then I will borrow some living expenses for me in an emergency."
As the sun went down, in front of the gate of the Du family, several strong men stared at the thin young figure in front of the barren mountain stone monument, and then their eyes were filled with joy.
Those who win are happy, those who lose five Xuan coins are naturally not happy.
Who would have thought that this time the entire Du family called a fool to break the record this time. The one stop in front of the stone tablet would last 13 days without sleep.
"Let's go, it will be dark soon. There will be a lot of young masters and young ladies who will go to the guard recruitment to try it out tomorrow, so there must be some mistakes."
Du Qi looked away from the barren mountain stone monument, secretly sighing slightly, recruiting guards tomorrow is actually a small practice for the juniors of the Du family, killing two birds with one stone, but the one on the barren mountain at this time is also the Du family. The young master, but tomorrow's practice has nothing to do with him, and even fear that it will never have anything to do with him. They are both young masters and young ladies, but that's the difference.
"That fool is still standing there for thirteen days, and he is getting more and more stupid."
"It is said that the clan has found many famous doctors to show that fool, but they have no effect. There is really no cure."
Outside the Du family, many servants and maids who came and went also glanced at the barren hills in front of them. There was a bit of regret and sigh in their eyes. A young master who was supposed to be dressed in fine clothes and food, unexpectedly turned out to be so stupid. .
The sky is getting darker and darker, the dusk is gradually passing, and there is still a faint blush where the sun is setting.
In front of the stone monument, a purple-robed youth sat cross-legged, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slightly childish face, looking a little more fortitude and sharpness than his peers, with slightly closed eyes, Thick eyebrows like swords.
The young man is called Du Shaofu, and he looks good. If it is not from Shicheng, it is really hard to imagine why he would be called a fool.
In the dark blue night sky, the stars gradually emerged, and a crescent moon was in the depths of the sky, like a machete radiating a bright white sword light.
In the dead of night, the entire Du family was in a deep sleep, and no one would pay attention to the young man on the dead mountain.
The ancient stone stele stands, and it looks extraordinarily strange in this moonlight.
"boom!"
Suddenly, on the ancient stone tablet, the originally intricate cracks began to overflow with faint rays of light, the cracks continued to crack, and the entire barren mountain was shaking gently, but no one saw all this, otherwise it must be ruthless. Hardly surprised.
"Kakaka."
Finally, the cracks in the ancient stone monument that had stood for countless years became bigger and bigger, and the light in the cracks became more and more dazzling, turning into a curtain of light shrouded Du Shaofu, and then the whole stone monument suddenly cracked and turned into a pile. Crushed stone powder piles up the barren hills.
"Chichi!"
As the light curtain disappeared, Du Shaofu's closed eyes in front of the stone tablet suddenly opened, and two bright lights shot out from his eyes. In this night, like lightning, an ancient breath swept out from that thin body. The surrounding space that vibrated was trembling.
"call!"
A mouthful of turbid breath came out of his mouth, a faint smile appeared on Du Shaofu's face, and he sighed softly, "After ten years, I finally understood the first style!"
"The pink and tender new book has begun, brothers and sisters, collect, recommend, collect, recommend, it fills the fan list, and this month's reward is full to the author, so Xiao Yu also brazenly appealed for the reward, brothers and sisters Continue to support me, take care of me, love me.
The new book has been conceived for several months and revised many times. Xiao Yu will definitely work hard to write it well, update it a lot, and create brilliant future together with his brothers and sisters. . . "
