Liu Mang and Mei Song, who was extremely nervous, followed the guide into the Qingfeng Gate.
After a while, they came to a large house. Two men in their twenties, armed with swords and wearing blue clothes and tied hair, were guarding the door.
On the left is a man with a square face, who looks fierce, and on the right is a man with a long face, who looks kinder.
The man leading the way said: "Two senior brothers, on the order of the leader, I brought the people from the Golden Tiger Gang."
The two guarding men nodded and gave way.
Liu Mang and Mei Song went in and found a man in his forties standing in the back room.
He was wearing a navy blue Taoist robe and had a long beard. He looked quite upright. He was none other than Shen Haoyu, the master of the Qingfeng Sect.
When Shen Haoyu saw Liu Mang and the two of them, he said enthusiastically: "You two, please take a seat!"
The three of them sat on the floor, with a low wooden table in the middle. Liu Mang and Mei Song sat together.
"You are young hero Liu Mang, and you are young friend Mei Song?" Shen Haoyu naturally knew the names of Liu Mang and Liu Mang from the invitations and letters of recommendation.
Liu Mang cupped his fists and said, "I am Liu Mang, and Tian is currently the deputy leader of the Golden Tiger Gang."
"Liu Shaoxia is full of energy and heroic appearance. When I see you, I can't help but think back to my youth, haha."
Mei Song also followed suit and clasped his fists and said, "My dear, Mei Song, my father was the leader of the Golden Tiger Gang during his lifetime, but I have not joined any force at the moment."
Shen Haoyu nodded: "My little friend seems to have quite a lot of spiritual talent. He is worthy of being recommended by Gang Leader Han."
The two parties exchanged pleasantries.
"How are Gang Leader Han doing lately?" Shen Haoyu asked again with concern.
Liu Mang said: "Thanks to Clan Leader Shen's concern, Clan Leader Han is in good health and his external skills have never dropped for a moment."
Shen Haoyu smiled and said: "That's good. We said goodbye more than ten years ago and have never seen him a second time. I also miss Gang Leader Han quite a lot. If it weren't for the busy affairs in the sect, I would have gone to Jiangcheng to bother you."
Liu Mang was slightly disappointed after hearing this: You haven't visited Han Long for more than ten years. It seems that you haven't taken this life-saving grace seriously.
Then Shen Haoyu muttered: "I also understand what you two are here for. Gang Leader Han saved my life back then. Logically speaking, it is a trivial matter for little friend Mei Mei to get started, and it is far from enough to repay Gang Leader Han's kindness. It's just...
…”
"Master Shen, if you have any difficulties, just tell me." Liu Mang said in a deep voice.
"To be honest, the disciples we have recruited from the Qingfeng Sect over the years have always had to pass three tests before they can enter.
If I directly bring little friend Mei into the family, I'm afraid many people in the family will be dissatisfied, which will also be really detrimental to little friend Mei's future development."
"What does Master Shen mean?" Liu Mang looked at Shen Haoyu, wanting to see what medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"Mei Xiaoyou is the nephew of Gang Leader Han, so naturally he does not need to pass the three tests. He only needs to pass the first test to prove that his energy and blood are not congenitally deficient, so as to avoid difficulty in practicing this skill in the future.
In this way, I can persuade other people in the sect to reduce criticism. After all, although our sect's Qingfeng Zhenqi is an internal skill, its practice also requires certain qi and blood.
Moreover, only a small number of people will be eliminated in the first test. As long as their energy and blood are not too bad, they can easily pass. I wonder what Liu Shaoxia and Mei Xiaoyou think?"
After hearing this, Liu Mang's thoughts began to spin rapidly. If what Shen Haoyu said was true, then the conditions were actually not harsh.
This is equivalent to the 211,985 university professors enrolled in universities in the previous life. Generally, schools will give them certain preferential policies. Their children can be directly admitted after passing the undergraduate level without having to meet such a high score line.
And if their children can't even pass the undergraduate level, they can't blame the school for not being admitted.
Liu Mang turned to look at Mei Song, but saw Mei Song looking at him at the same time, and Liu Mang understood the eagerness in her eyes.
Mei Song's young mind obviously did not think that he could not pass the first test that most people could pass.
In this case, Liu Mang said: "In this case, we will follow the arrangements of Master Shen."
Even if he fails the first test, it doesn't matter. Doesn't the Golden Tiger Gang have internal strength? Hall Master Mei doesn't want his son to join the gang, so he just won't let him work as a escort when the time comes.
Shen Haoyu nodded with a smile and warmly entertained Liu Mang and Liu Mang for tea.
The two parties communicated for a while, and then Shen Haoyu insisted on sending Liu Mang to the door and watched them gradually go away.
"This Master Shen is really enthusiastic." Mei Song couldn't help but sigh, and Liu Mang also nodded slightly.
But they didn't see that Shen Haoyu's smile immediately disappeared and his face became gloomy after they turned around.
Two days later.
Liu Mang and others came to the huge square with many stone pillars that they had seen before.
At this time, the square was crowded with people, whether they were wealthy businessmen or traffickers, and there were boys and girls of thirteen or fourteen years old beside them.
Everyone's face was filled with hope, and they looked towards the farthest sects wearing different colors of clothing to recruit disciples.
There are men from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau wearing black gold-patterned trousers, there are disciples from the Iron Fist Sect wearing white underwear, there are disciples from the Nine Shadow Sword Sect wearing pure black black clothes, and there are disciples from the Hunyuan Sect wearing red and purple brocade clothes. , there are Qingfeng sect disciples dressed in blue...
At this time, a disciple of the Hunyuan Sect in his twenties was the first to come out, clasping his fists towards everyone in the square and saying, "Dear fellow citizens of Quancheng, the various sects are here to recruit people today.
Xiang Yong from the Hunyuan sect, just nine years after entering the sect, he came up to show his shame!"
After saying that, his whole body shook slightly, and then he took a step to the side and left the position where he had just stood.
The people watching were in an uproar when they saw this, and started discussing enthusiastically.
"This young man has so much inner strength!"
"It is said that internal martial arts is much slower to practice than external martial arts in the early stages. I didn't expect that this person would have such a level of cultivation within ten years of starting the practice!"
"The Hunyuan Gong of the Hunyuan Sect is said to be an extremely high-ranking internal skill in the entire southeastern martial arts world!"
It turned out that on the bluestone ground where Xiang Yong of the Hunyuan Sect had just stood, two extremely conspicuous footprints two or three inches deep appeared. Even Liu Mang's eyes froze when he saw them.
This person's internal strength cultivation level is probably infinitely close to the fourth level, and his talent is really extraordinary, not much worse than Wang Yuanjian.
At the same time, he also felt the different folk customs between Quancheng and Jiangcheng.
Perhaps because of the proximity to the Taiyun Mountains, the people here are quite martial, and their understanding of various sects and martial arts is much better than the ordinary people in the inner city of Jiang City.
Xiang Yong revealed his cultivation and successfully advertised his sect.
Then a young disciple of the Nine Shadow Sword Sect dressed in black black clothes walked out unwilling to be outdone.
He clasped his fists at everyone with a cold expression, "Yu Zhiyang has been in the Nine Shadow Sword Sect for eight years."
He looked up to the sky.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of flapping wings in the distance, and then two pigeons appeared above the crowd one after the other, about ten steps apart.
