Chapter 419: The heyday of the general election (four thousand)
Crossing the stone bridge, Lin Mo looked around the small courtyard. Behind the simple bamboo fence were several vegetable gardens for growing vegetables. Next to the vegetable garden, a yak whose breath was about to metamorphose lay quietly on the ground paved with bluestones.
, spraying out a stream of white air from both nostrils, and its short and slender tail constantly drives away flies.
At the back of the yard, under the eaves of a bamboo house made of stones and bamboo poles, hung two pieces of dried meat and a pile of washed, white clothes.
"Father, mother, I'm back, there are guests coming to our house."
After returning home, Fairy Tong pushed open the bamboo door and rushed to the yard in a hurry, shouting.
"Xiao Teng is back."
A heavy but somewhat frivolous voice came from inside the house. In the bamboo house, a man wearing a long animal skin coat with sharp eyes, bulging cheekbones and broad cheeks spoke to a female soul who exuded the fragrance of plants.
With the support of the family members, he walked out of the bamboo house step by step.
The deep blue eyes filled with vicissitudes of life couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Lin Mo and Bai Liang, who were dressed in fine clothes in the courtyard and had extraordinary bearings in every word and deed.
"Two young masters, I have done something to offend you. Please forgive him for once because he is still young."
Qingnan gently pushed away his worried wife, walked out of the bamboo building with difficulty, and bowed his head deeply to Lin and Mo.
Although he heard the guest mentioned by Xiao Teng, Qingnan, who has nearly a hundred years of experience, knew that his family was not qualified to be friends with such a young master, let alone a guest.
"Father, what are you doing? This is Brother Lin, who is visiting our house."
Fairy boy looked at his father angrily. Brother Lin was obviously just a guest, so what was he talking about?
"Nonsense, did you offend the two young masters again outside? Why don't you come and apologize quickly?"
Qingnan grabbed Xiantong and asked him to apologize. As the head of the family, why didn't he know that his family couldn't afford such a noble son?
"Yes, Xiao Teng, listen to your father and apologize to the two young masters."
The female spirit clan who came down from nowhere stood behind Qing Nan with a worried look on her face, and whispered to the fairy boy to persuade him.
Although their family now lives in the area where the Immortals live, they can only huddle in a corner. Even the materials used to build the house are taken from the surrounding area.
Whenever the surrounding immortals see them, there will be a trace of imperceptible contempt in their eyes. How can such a noble master come to their home as a guest.
"This uncle thought too much. Xiao Teng said that he was right. It was the first time for the two of us to go down to the lower world. We met Xiao Teng on the road and learned a lot about the lower world."
Lin Mo smiled and stretched out his hand to touch gently, controlling his immortal power to lift Qingnan up.
I secretly sighed in my heart, after they arrived, this middle-aged immortal clan did not hesitate at all and respectfully apologized to the two of them. This is not a helpless thing.
"That's it. Qu'er, please quickly take out the animal blood wine I brewed earlier. Linru, please go to the kitchen and cook some delicious dishes to entertain the distinguished guests."
"It's a humble house with nothing good to entertain our distinguished guests. I'm really ashamed."
After knowing that Lin Mo and Lin Mo were really just occasional guests, Qing Nan was relieved. Just now he had imagined that if Xiao Teng really offended these two noble gentlemen, he would never trade his life for another.
care.
After all, leaving a broken body like his would only be a burden to the family.
After Qingnan finished speaking, a clear voice came from the backyard of the bamboo house. The female spirit standing next to him also regained her smile and quickly walked into the kitchen to take out all the last precious ingredients collected at home.
"I just told you that Brother Lin and Brother Bai are here to visit us."
The fairy child, who was being pressed on the head by his father, muttered something unpleasant.
"Well... there are distinguished guests here, why don't you hurry up and prepare the seats."
Qingnan lowered his head and glared at Xiantong, then raised his hand with a smile to signal Lin Mo and the others to enter the house. He glanced at the bamboo house more than ten meters away. Qingnan gritted his teeth and raised his legs with difficulty, pretending to lead the two of them as if nothing had happened.
Go up to the bamboo tower.
"Bai Liang." Lin Mo whispered after glancing at Qing Nan next to him.
"Yes, my lord."
Before Lin Mo could say anything else, Bai Liang, who was following Lin Mo, raised his right hand's fingers and injected a stream of pure, slightly vital immortal power into Qingnan's body.
Qingnan, who was walking aside for a while, instantly felt a warm current reverberating through his meridians, and his body, which was originally overwhelmed, felt much more relaxed.
"this..."
Qingnan turned his head and looked at Bai Liang, who was following Lin Mo as if nothing had happened, in shock.
More than ten years ago, he was severely injured by a Qiling Bazhen tiger demon during a hunting trip. The bones and meridians in his body were damaged to varying degrees.
Several immortals who were good at medical skills in Shanwu Pass were at a loss what to do, but the young man in white clothes and black armor just now made himself feel much better with just a burst of immortal power.
This shocked Qingnan. While he was pleasantly surprised, he was also filled with deep worries and fears.
If they use such methods and do not provide good hospitality, then I am afraid that what awaits them will be a disaster.
"Thank you, sir."
Qing Nan did his best to bow and express his gratitude to Lin Mo, his expression becoming more and more respectful.
Walking into the bamboo building, a faint fragrance wafts from the house. The room of several hundred square meters is simply decorated with some bamboo furniture, and more than ten complete animal skins are hung on the wall.
As he glanced over, the sword glowing with sharp green light floated above the main wall under the blessing of the formation pattern.
[Qingxue Cold Sword]
Quality: Top-grade mortal weapon (demon weapon)
Dao Marks: Primary Sharp Dao Marks, Primary Coagulation Dao Marks, Primary Cold Mind Dao Marks, Primary Sharp Dao Marks...
Introduction: A handful made of century-old green bamboo and jade as the main material, supplemented by various ores. The refining technique is mediocre and fails to fully utilize the properties of the material itself.
His eyes stayed on the Qingxue Lengjian for a moment. Lin Mojing sat on the bamboo chair and shook his head vaguely. This sword was probably the most precious thing in the entire bamboo house.
"If the young master likes it, this sword will be regarded as a gift from me to the young master."
Seeing Lin Mo's gaze lingering on Qingxue Lengjian for a moment, Qingnan was reluctant to give up, but still made a request to give the sword as a gift.
"Uncle Qing is worrying too much. I was just curious."
Hearing Qing Nan's words, Lin Mo burst into laughter. This was the impact of strength. His eyes only stayed on the sword for a moment, and Qing Nan had to give him something that might be a family heirloom.
"I am narrow-minded."
While the two were talking, a tall female Eldar with hair like blue silk, eyes embroidered with red phoenixes, skin as delicate as white snow, and full of fragrance, walked in from the back of the house wearing a long skirt made of green gauze.
Dragging in her hands were two bottles of wine filled with strong blood.
"Father, these are the last two bottles of forty-year-old animal blood wine in the family."
Qu'er, who is from the Spirit Tribe, placed the animal blood wine in her hand on the table cautiously. Her bright eyes couldn't help but look at Lin Mo and Bai Liang secretly, with a faint blush flashing across her cheeks.
For Qu'er, who was born in Shanwuguan, Lin Mo's elegant and gentlemanly temperament will make people fall in love with him at a glance.
"This is my little girl Qingqu, and my wife is an Eldar."
Qing Nan watched the expressions of Lin Mo and the two with anxiety. In the eyes of the superior immortals, the spirit race was just an inferior race that was better than the demon race and ghost race.
"Thank you."
Lin Mo smiled and nodded, taking off the wine bottle and putting it in front of him. Bai Liang, who had been standing sideways behind Lin Mo, slid his fingers and wrapped a stream of immortal power around the wine bottle. After carefully sensing it for a moment, he pulled out the wine bottle.
Sai himself poured a glass of animal blood wine for Lin Mo.
The bright red amber-like wine swayed gently in the bamboo cup, and the faint fragrance of vegetation mixed with the smell of blood gave it a unique flavor.
【Fourteen Years Beast Blood Wine】
Quality: Ordinary (Qiling)
Introduction: It is brewed from more than ten kinds of low-level demon blood mixed with low-level spiritual plants and semi-spiritual plants through more than thirty special processes.
Efficacy: It can activate qi and blood, enhance physical fitness, and is helpful in assisting in physical training.
Picking up the bamboo cup filled with animal blood wine on the table, Lin Mo raised his eyebrows. Since his spiritual power has been traced back for so long, many people have used spiritual plants to make wine, but this is the first time he has seen the system.
Approved spiritual wine.
"This is a secret recipe passed down from our family. You might as well try it, sir."
Qing Nan whispered, after seeing Bai Liang's actions just now, he became more and more sure of Lin Mo's identity.
Taking a sip of the bright red animal blood wine in his hand, the fragrance of spiritual plants and the taste of demon blood were cleverly blended together. A faint heat flowed in his abdomen, but it was obviously not enough to nourish Lin Mo's spiritual body that had left the mortal world.
.
After tasting the wine, the Eldar wife who had left before placed the prepared dishes on the table.
At the dinner table, Lin Mo revealed his information to Qingnan as he had said before, and at the same time, he also found out many secrets beyond common sense from Qingnan's mouth.
According to Qingnan's description, the Shanwu Pass where they are located has a history of 180 years. There are two major Tianzhan families in the pass, the Tianzhan family with Zhuhuo bloodline, and the Hanshui family with Hanchao bloodline.
And the Yanming Immortal Official Family with Tianyan bloodline.
The establishment of Shanwuguan was jointly established by the three first heads of the aristocratic families.
In addition, there are still a large number of fairy families in the entire Shanwu Pass. Because these families do not have the protection of the Nine True or above powerful people, they can only suffer under the three major families.
"Three major aristocratic families..." Lin Mo put down his chopsticks and said with a cryptic expression.
"Ugh ~ Brother Lin, in order to set an example for this recruitment election, the three major families will also send their most outstanding geniuses to participate."
"However, in my opinion, Brother Lin and Brother Bai are the most powerful."
Fairy Tong chewed the delicious food in his mouth desperately. Now he can only eat the dishes on the table once every two or three years.
"Eat your meal. After dinner, go to the backyard to practice sword practice. I will follow Mr. Lin tomorrow and don't lose the face of Mr. Lin."
Qing Nan gave Xiantong a serious look. After the previous contact, the warmth and gentleness shown by Lin Mo also made this experienced man let down his guard.
After the meal, Xiantong was scolded by Qing Nan for practicing swordplay, while he packed up his things and left the largest bamboo building in the courtyard for Lin Mo and the two of them to live in.
When night falls, compared to the bright starlight of the Blue Star, the night sky in the Secret Realm of Immortal Court is only as dark as death. For them, the starry sky can only be seen in the upper heaven domain where the Immortal Officials and their families have the power to control the stars.
Early next morning
Lin Mo, who was sitting cross-legged on the bamboo bed, slowly opened his eyes. Because of the weak spiritual power in the secret realm, Lin Mo had given up on practicing spiritual power during this period.
He focused his energy mainly on the many spiritual arts he had mastered. While deducing the spiritual arts, Lin Mo's mastery of shape and shadow became more and more profound.
Up to now, he can simply use fairy energy to cover some ordinary spiritual arts.
Just when Lin Mo stood up, Bai Liang, who had been sitting on the bamboo chair waiting, suddenly opened his eyes, and his figure turned into an afterimage and appeared behind the door in an instant.
"Brother Lin, are you up? The recruitment election is about to begin."
Outside the door, Fairy Tong was a little excited and hesitant voice sounded.
Lin Mo simply used his spiritual power to comb his clothes, opened the door and walked out. As soon as he walked out, he saw a fairy boy wearing light leather armor, holding a long sword, and carrying an iron bow on his back, pacing in front of the door.
"Let's go and see this recruitment election."
The smile on Lin Mo's face was full of meaning, and then he was led by Xiantong and walked towards the place where the recruitment election was held.
On the road, the streets that originally seemed a little cold were now bustling with people. Fairies, even spirits, and monsters holding sharp blades and carrying long bows could be seen everywhere around the streets.
The shops on the roadside also displayed many weapons, talismans, and demon soldiers in line with the times.
The arrows attached to the illusory snake, the landscape paintings of magical instruments floating in the air containing the charm of ink and wash, the precious elixirs overflowing with medicinal fragrance, the mysterious formations blooming with faint light...
Today, the entire Shanwu Pass is caught up in the wave of recruitment and general elections.
"Brother White Snake, you are also planning to enlist in the army this time!"
In the corner of Lin Mo's sight, a black bear demon holding a huge stone hammer looked at the white snake demon walking on the street next to him with a changing expression and hesitated.
"Haha, this recruitment election for the Heavenly Soldiers is open to other races for the first time. Of course I want to give it a try."
"Not only me, but other famous demon clans, spirit clans, and ghost clans in Shanwu Pass are all rushing towards the Beacon Battle Platform."
The white demon laughed and patted the black bear demon's back, with a bit of excitement and sadness in his pupils.
At this time, such scenes filled the streets of Shanwuguan. These demons, spirits, and ghosts who had been extremely difficult to enter the Heavenly Soldiers Legion took up arms and rushed to the streets after learning about the recruitment election.
, swarming towards the beacon battle platform where the recruitment and general elections were held.
"I don't know what Mr. Weihuo thinks, why should these inferior races participate in the recruitment election."
In the crowd, several fairies dressed in simple clothes looked at the dense crowds of other races around the street with disgust.
Because of the open conditions, the difficulty of the recruitment election, which was originally quite difficult for them, has simply increased by countless levels.
You must know that under this regulation, the number of candidates for the recruitment election has increased from about 500 in the past to 6,000 now, and among them are many monsters, spirits and even ghosts that they have to admit.
