As soon as the fourth master finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of discussion in the field, but most of the people only had envy, only those few late stage cultivators of the Open Pulse Realm, their faces were colorful, because of the special situation of the Fallen Ghost Abyss, they were always complained that cultivation was useless before, and this time they were finally going to come out.

With this news as a foundation, the dissatisfaction with the tax increase was immediately dispelled, and several late-stage cultivators of the Open Pulse Realm were thinking about how to be selected as a guard, how could they have the heart to think about anything else? Although there are still dissatisfied among the others, they have no backbone and cannot accomplish anything.

In the entire first seven villages, there are only nine people in the later stage of the Kaimai realm, and the four masters of the village chief will not go, and the rest are eight people, including Mao Taoist, Silly Big Man, Paper Old Man, Sister-in-law Sun, and Three Fat Men.

Qingyang is worried about how to get to Dry Mound City, isn't this opportunity coming? It's just that he doesn't have the cultivation in the late stage of the Kaimai Realm now, so it's hard to say whether he can choose a guard, but the opportunity is rare, even if he can't choose it, Mai Town is always closer to Dry Mound City than Touqi Village, Mai Town is much bigger than Touqi Village, and there will be more ways to get to Dry Mound City there, not to mention that Daoist Mao and a few other acquaintances have left, and it's not interesting to stay here by yourself.

Then Qingyang found Daoist Mao and the others, and said that he wanted to try his luck with him, but Daoist Mao and the others had no opinion. Qingyang is just one person, compared to the hundreds of late-stage cultivators of the Open Pulse Realm in the entire Mai Town, one more competitor is nothing at all, not to mention that this Qingyang looks ordinary, and the possibility of being selected is almost zero.

The preparations for the day were completed, and the next day the nine people set off together, in order to participate in the selection of guards, everyone cleaned up neatly, and walked with the wind, for fear of walking slowly and making mistakes, although the Fallen Ghost Yuan suppressed the strength of the monks, but after all, these people are all monks in the late stage of the Open Pulse Realm, and their physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people, Qingyang's body has not fully recovered, but the speed is the slowest, which makes the three fat people complain incessantly, complaining that everyone should not take Qingyang, a sick man.

More than 300 miles away, everyone walked slowly, it only took two days to arrive, Mai Town is a big town with thousands of people, the houses here are obviously a grade higher than the first seven villages, there are a lot of wide house compounds, there are high walls of earth and stone masonry outside the town, there are several streets criss-crossing inside, there are more than a dozen inns and shops of all kinds, and pedestrians come and go very lively.

There are obviously more monks here than the first seven villages, and as far as the eye can see, the entire street is full of monks from the Open Pulse Realm, but think about it, at this time, it is the time when the mayor of the town chooses to choose a guard, and it is normal for there to be more monks, and the first seven villages are relatively far away from Mai Town, and those who are close should have arrived a long time ago.

There are several inns in Mai Town alone, and the price is not expensive, one silver can live for five days, but Qingyang has no money, so he sold the spirit grass that he picked before that has grown for more than forty years, and exchanged it for four Qi Nourishing Pills and five gold coins, so as to pay for the accommodation. In a town with thousands of people, there are no good things on the streets, Qingyang lost interest after half an hour, and then waited for news from the mayor in the inn. A few people from the first seven villages seemed to have arrived a little early, and they waited in the inn for three days before the mayor informed everyone to accept the selection.

Of course, the mayor lives in the center of the town, and it is the most luxurious mansion in the whole town, the Gaomen Compound, covering an area of dozens of acres. The selection location was on the square outside the gate of the town mayor's house, and at this time, more than two hundred people had gathered, almost all of them were late-stage cultivators of the Open Pulse Realm.

There are also several Qi refining monks, but they are all sitting on the high platform in the middle of the square, and in the middle is a long-bearded old man wearing sackcloth, with a clear appearance, and a cultivator of the eighth layer of Qi refining, according to the three fat men, this old man is the mayor of Mai Town, the only late-stage Qi refining monk in the entire Mai Town.

Next to him, there was a young man on the second floor of Qi refining, who was somewhat similar to the mayor of the town, and his figure and appearance were not bad, the only drawback was that he had a pockmarked face, as many as stars, without the introduction of the three fat people, everyone could guess that this must be Ma Xingchen, the son of the mayor of the town.

Seeing that the monks who were running for election were almost here, the mayor got up from his seat and said, "Everyone can come, they must have heard about the old man's selection of guards for his son. It's okay to tell you some news, my son will go to Tongqi County to participate in the Holy Son caucus on behalf of Mai Town in half a month, if you just go to Tongqi County, you can come back in two or three months, if you are selected, you may have to go to Kuzun City and compete with Tianjiao in other counties, this time it will take nearly a year, and as a last resort, I decided to recruit a group of guards to protect my son's safety. ”

"Mayor Town? What is the Son Preselection? Someone in the audience asked.

The mayor said: "These have nothing to do with you, and it is in vain to ask, in order to avoid everyone having worries, I still say the treatment of the guards again, after the selection, the whole family's taxes will be exempted, so that you don't have to worry about your family, and there is a monthly reward of two golds, if my son can get good results in the Holy Son pre-selection, everyone will be rewarded after returning." ”

Listening to the mayor talk about the treatment of the guards again, everyone suddenly forgot what kind of holy son pre-selection, that thing sounds like it has nothing to do with everyone, or the treatment in front of you is the most affordable. The whole family is exempt from taxes, and there is a salary of two gold per month, which is the first in the entire Mai Town, as long as it can be selected, it will never have to worry about food and clothing, and no longer have to worry about survival.

Thinking of this, the people below suddenly became noisy, and they all said: "Town Chief, hurry up and talk about how this guard is selected, we can't wait for a long time." ”

The mayor smiled and said: "Since it is for my son to choose a guard, you must have the ability and loyalty to go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire for my son, so the test of the primary election is very simple, there are only three levels, the first level is the knife mountain, the second level is the sea of fire, and the third level is the interview between me and my son, and you can be selected if you pass." ”

After the mayor finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, and clapped his hands directly back, and someone behind him removed the fence by the wall, and immediately revealed the two sections of the assessment site that had been arranged in advance.

The front section is called Daoshan Mountain, about five zhang long, all made of thick wooden planks, the height is undulating, there is no law at all, it looks like a small mountain.

At the same time, on the wooden board, all kinds of knives were densely inserted, large and small, high and low, leaving almost no gap, and there was no place to put feet in between.

All the tips and blades of the knives are facing upwards, glowing with the luster of the white forest, and the sharpness is abnormal, and just looking at it from a distance makes people shudder.
