Chapter 1668 – Formation and Slogan
”This gentleman, dare I ask if Chang’an is ahead?”
Above the barren earth, a young man carrying a traveling bag stopped an old man carrying a flat burden and respectfully asked.
”Yes, more than ten miles further ahead is Chang’an, but you’d better take a five-mile detour from the southeast first.”
Hearing this, doubt surfaced on the youth’s face, “Why?”
”There is a heavenly abyss ahead of here, if you don’t make a detour ahead of time, waiting between the gullies and walking along the edge of the heavenly abyss would be even more strenuous.” The old man waved his hand and said no more, walking straight into the distance.
”The Heavenly Abyss ……” the youth muttered, “Before, never heard of any Heavenly Abyss near Chang’an, ah?”
Although he was puzzled in his heart, he still followed what the old man said and began to walk around to the southeast.
This young man looked about twenty-four or twenty-five, wearing a dusty blue and green dark coat, from a distance he looked like a rather elegant scholarly man, but if he was close enough to take a closer look, he would find that there were traces of mending on his cuffs, and at the hem of his coat, although the skill of the person who mended it was already considered to be superb, there were still some subtle differences in color.
He carried the heavy traveling bag on his back a little more, wiped the sweat on the corner of his forehead, and walked forward step by step in the face of the scorching sun.
After an unknown amount of time, he walked up a small dirt slope and turned his head to look, only to see that a huge, huge abyss was indeed situated in the distance, with an unusually smooth inner wall, like an endless deep cave that could not be seen to the end at a glance.
”Near Chang’an, there is such a miracle ……” Shock surfaced in the eyes of the youth, he could not imagine that such a huge and deep giant abyss, exactly how it was formed.
He rested for a moment, and once again moved towards Chang’an, and a few hours later, he finally arrived at the foot of Chang’an.
To his surprise, the city wall of Chang’an had collapsed for some reason, many laborers were busy rebuilding the wall, and a group of soldiers in armor were standing at the original location of the city gate, checking the people entering the city one by one.
”This brother, what exactly is happening in Chang’an?” The youth was in the queue and couldn’t help but ask the man in front of him.
”I don’t know either, but on my way here I heard that Chang’an was attacked by some kind of powerful evil spirit, and it was only because the Champion Marquis stepped in that a great calamity was spared.” The man looked around and whispered.
”When you were outside the city, did you see the Heavenly Abyss? It was rumored that it was also the Marquis’ handiwork!”
”That Heavenly Abyss, it’s actually man-made?!” Shock surfaced in the youth’s eyes.
”Hmph, that was the Marquis! What can’t be done?”
”Marquis of Champions ……” The youth recited the name, and a longing color emerged in his eyes.
The man saw that this youth was interested in the Marquis of Champions, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he mysteriously came to the youth’s ear and opened his mouth somewhat triumphantly, “Brother, to tell you the truth, I’ve come to Chang’an this time to defect to the Marquis!”
”To join the Marquis?” The youth stared blankly, “You are also going to apply for the examination for the Department of Evil Suppression?”
”? You too?”
After realizing that each other were actually on the same path, the two instantly warmed up and began to call themselves brothers according to their age.
”I say, old brother Hu, since you’re here to take the test for the Evil Suppression Division, why are you only here now? If I remember correctly, this is already the last day, right?” The man asked in disbelief.
”My home is quite far from here, and it took some time to walk all the way here.”
”Oh? Where is your home?”
”Chonglin County.”
”Hiss, that really isn’t close ah …… you walked all the way here? Why don’t you buy a horse?”
The youth smiled and did not speak.
The man saw that the youth did not want to say more, and was interested in not asking again, and after the two of them chatted for a few sentences, it was the turn of the soldier to interrogate.
”Who are you? Why do you want to enter the city.” The soldier asked with a serious expression.
The man opened his mouth and was about to say something, furtively looking around before finally sticking to the soldier’s side and lowering his voice to answer:
”I am going to the Evil Suppression Division …….”
The soldier looked at him with an odd expression, “Go to the Zhenxu Division to go to the Zhenxu Division, why so low? Go …… behind that kid, what about you?”
”I am the same as him, also go ……”
”Hey go go go, into the door straight ahead two miles turn right ah, all the way there are signs to guide you over, remember to take the number queue.”
The soldier impatiently waved his hand, seemed to be too lazy to ask more questions, the two of them inexplicably passed through the city gates, vaguely, and then heard that soldier’s impatient voice came out:
”What? You are also going to the Evil Suppression Division? Why don’t you say it together? Tsk, let’s go let’s go …… There are also those going to the Zhen Evil Division behind us, no need to queue up, go straight in, don’t block other people’s way.”
Youth: ……
”This world …… turned out to have so many foreigners?” The youth scratched his head in disbelief.
”I don’t know if there are that many foreigners, but there are definitely quite a few people who revere the Marquis.”
”Right Brother Zhao, I haven’t asked you yet, since you are also a Fae, what are your abilities?”
”Me, hehehe ……” the man looked around at no one and came to the youth’s ear, speaking triumphantly, “I can kill a cow with three punches!”
”…… “The corners of the youth’s mouth twitched slightly, and in the end, he hardened a smile and politely complimented, “Brother Zhao is truly powerful …… ”
”Hahaha, it’s alright, right, how about you, old brother Hu?”
”I …… I’m not as good as Brother Zhao, I can’t even beat a cow.”
The man looked at the youth with pity, patted his shoulder, revealing an expression of “I understand”, and spoke meaningfully.
”Elder brother Hu ah, it doesn’t matter if it’s a foreigner, it’s good to have this heart ……”
”Brother Zhao, we’d better hurry over, I see that the people lining up to take the test are already on the street.”
”What?!”
The two of them followed what that soldier said all the way forward, and on the way, they really did see quite a few eye-catching slogans:Faithfuls applying for the test thus two miles ahead.Take a right turn ahead.There is still one mile from the test site, the number of people in line is about two hundred, expect to wait for two hours.One inch of time is one inch of gold, all of you do not waste your own time and the time of others, if you are not a foreigner, please move across the street to receive a bowl of green bean soup, and then return the same way.
The two were far adorned at the very back of the queue, seeing the densely packed figures in front of them, the man sighed helplessly and turned his head to the youth:
”Hu old brother, this is also too many people, why don’t you go back …… you practice more, and come back next year when you can kill a cow.”
”……” The youth shook his head, “It’s okay, I can wait.”
The man also no longer persuade more, the two just so in the queue, a little bit moved forward, bright daylight gradually westward, their distance with that mansion, also closer and closer.
”Hu old brother, this doesn’t seem to be that slow. …… In front of them, there have been people who have been turning around and going back, they should have given up.” Seeing that it was about to be his turn, a joyful color appeared on the Zhao man’s face!
The youth was about to say something, when a teenager, with a cold face, walked over from the front, with a jade medal tied around his waist, inscribed with the word “Suppressing Evil”.
”You, what is your ability?” Wu Quan walked up to the Zhao man and spoke with an expressionless face.
”You are a member of the Evil Suppression Division, aren’t you?” Zhao man mysteriously came to his ear, “I can kill a cow with three punches!”
Wu Quan glanced at him and silently stretched out his hand, pointing across the street:
”Go drink green bean soup, drink it and get lost!”
