Chapter 671 Hidden Worry 3
One after another, the flying ships landed on the outskirts of Linhai City. After more than half a month of sailing, the conscripted monks finally returned.

Coming out of the landing point, these people were all taken aback.

Everything in front of them felt strange to them.

In their impression, Linhai City is always very lively.Even if the night is deep, as long as it is not midnight, the streets of Linhai City are still crowded with people, especially in summer, the room is too hot to sleep, many people simply go outside to cool off, the streets are full of people.

But now, there is no one on the street.

"What's the matter?" A monk asked the guard next to him.

"Everyone has gone to the East District, where they are recruiting people." The guard quickly replied.

"Recruitment again?" A monk next to him cursed.

"My lord, you heard me clearly, it's recruiting, not enlistment. Many people want to go in with their heads sharpened, and there's no need for them!" The guard had a bit of complacency on his face, obviously he didn't need to worry, like All of them are recruited as soldiers.

"Recruitment? Is there anything special about it?" Another monk came over.

"It's important. Recruitment is entirely voluntary. Go to the Eastern District to register by yourself. The family will receive up to two number plates, and then go to the queue. Those who have served in the army and fought in the war are given priority, especially those who survived the Battle of Beiwangcheng." , Even if he is seventy-eight years old, lacking arms and legs, he still has the qualifications." At this point, the guard clicked his tongue repeatedly, his face full of envy. Although he is also qualified to go to sea, everyone is rumoring in private that the gang who came back from Beiwang City The old, weak and remnant soldiers are treated at the same level as monk masters.

"Continue talking." The monk threw a silver coin in the past.

The guard caught the silver and stuffed it back: "My lord, you haven't heard the news yet. The silver is useless. Now men have a catty of rice every day, women have eight taels, and children under the age of 12 have six taels. Money is such a thing. . ” He shook his head grinning.

When the monks heard this, they immediately became noisy.

Cultivators have more money than ordinary people, no matter how bad they are, they always have some 10 taels of silver on hand. Unexpectedly, all of them are invalid now, and they don't even have a chance to spend them.

"Whose decision is this?" An elderly monk yelled loudly. The old man is relatively greedy for money, even the monks are the same.

"This is the decision of the various sects. In fact, even if there is nothing to say, silver is no longer useful. This thing can't be eaten or worn. Usually, everyone treats it as a treasure. When the catastrophe is together, who cares about this thing?" the guard Quickly said: "Not long after you left, the price of rice has doubled three times a day, and money is getting more and more worthless."

Upon hearing this, the monks had nothing to say.

After a long time, someone suddenly asked, "Why didn't you go to the East District?"

"We don't need to go. All soldiers can board the ship. I have already received the ship's badge." The guard took off a palm-sized silver badge from his waist.

The brand is very thin, just a thin silver sheet, with a talisman on the front and a blood-red thumbprint on the bottom.

Some of the monks who were familiar with the way of talismans suddenly said loudly: "It's incredible, it's really incredible, such a thing actually uses a golden talisman."

"What kind of talisman is this?" Someone immediately asked next to him.

The monk who was familiar with the talisman didn't say much, grabbed the sign and urged it with magic power.

A light yellow light shot out from the sign, and the upper body image of the guard was reflected in the center.

"There is still a drop of blood in the thumbprint. It's not me. It's useless to take a brand. They actually use this thing to mark their status as overqualified. These great sects are really rich."

Everyone originally thought that the so-called recruitment was just a gimmick, and the essence was still a recruitment, but the government's order was changed to a threat of catastrophe, and people would send them to their door, but now everyone's hearts began to waver.

"Is there only one recruiting?" A dull voice came from the crowd, and the speaker obviously didn't want people to know his identity.

At first, everyone looked down on this behavior of hiding their heads and showing their tails, but after thinking about it, they all understood that it was obviously because they didn't want to offend some people.

"No, the entire Eastern District is divided into recruitment points, where the government, the Taoist government, and the various sects recruit people. You can go to whoever you want to trust and apply for it. It doesn't matter if you apply for them all, but the ship You can only choose one card, and you can’t go back on your word after taking it.” The guard explained while taking back his ship card.

"So free?"

"No way?"

There was a lot of discussion among the people below. To be honest, they were used to being recruited forcibly, and they never thought that they could choose by themselves, let alone choose from several companies.

"Which one did you choose?" asked a bearded monk.

"Which one can I choose? Follow the little master. The government and the Taoist government will definitely not believe it. Other schools are a bit hard to say. Only the little master is the most reassuring. A total of 2 people survived the Battle of Beiwang City, of which [-] It was by following the little master that they saved their lives. They were old and weak soldiers, and they would have been ashes in other cities." The guard was obviously very proud of his good luck.

A short monk next to him couldn't see it, and said sarcastically: "People will change. It was okay in the past, but it may not be the case now."

"Maybe, but I'm still going to take a gamble." The guard didn't insist, because it was unnecessary, he was just an ordinary person, and he didn't dare to argue with these monks.

It's a pity that he didn't intend to raise an argument, but that person might not. He raised his voice and said, "If you really have to be so sensible, why can't you go back on your word after getting the ship's license? Isn't this still a gimmick?"

The people around reacted differently, some didn't think so, some nodded secretly, but there were quite a few kind people, an old monk said first: "You can't speak like this, it takes a lot of thought to make such a ship card, If you can repent at will, the person in charge of recruiting may be too busy."

"The old man flattered you well." The guy who likes to argue suddenly became unhappy, and turned into a mad dog in an instant, catching and biting whoever he wanted.

The old monk's face was ashen, but he was not interested in arguing any further.

Seeing that the old monk didn't speak anymore, the man thought he had won, and his face was full of pride, but he didn't expect that a red light flew over, and the words "Ding 47" suddenly appeared on top of his head.

"Who? Are you kidding me?" the man said angrily, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he glanced around.However, he didn't dare to speak soon, and a person stood in the sky, looking at him coldly.

To be able to stand in the air, at least a real person, he only has the realm of Qi training, and he can't be provoked at all.

"This time the major sects are recruiting. Everyone is free to come and go. No one will force it. There is no need to say such ugly words. Since your Excellency looks down on our sects, then vote for another sect. I helped you get this Mark, lest our people misunderstand and take you in, that would be bad."

Saying that, the person standing in the air coldly glanced at the person below, turned around and flew away.

The guy who liked to argue was red-faced, and after a while, his face turned pale again.

It wasn't that he didn't know what the guard and the old monk said were right. He just said that just to show that he was different, but in the end he put himself in a trap.

The people next to him suppressed their laughter and subconsciously avoided this guy. The red light floating above his head was too dazzling.

"If you pick someone, they will pick you too. It's normal."

"Other sects are actually pretty good too."

"Yeah, the conditions of other sects are much better, but I don't know if they will be honored?"

A large group of people came from a distance. They came to pick up people. When they saw someone with a red light on their faces from a distance, they couldn't help but sneer.

After mocking the unlucky guy, these people dispersed and greeted the person who had just disembarked.

"Old Qiao, Ah Hai, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Master, you are finally back."

"Brother, it's nice to see you again."

People on both sides greeted each other.

"Have you already got the ship license?" The old monk asked the two teenagers just now, and the two teenagers were his apprentices. The old man couldn't bear to let them respond to the call, so he let them hide. We will never see each other again, and when we meet again at this moment, the old man has mixed feelings in his heart, but what he cares most about at the moment is going to sea.

"I got it." The little apprentice replied quickly.

"Which one is it?" the old monk asked immediately.

"Of course it's the fleet of Xuanji and Jiuyao sects." The little apprentice replied naturally.

The big apprentice was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Master, I'm sorry for you..."

"What's wrong?" The old monk didn't know what happened?Can't help but get nervous.

"Brother intends to rebuild." The little apprentice hurriedly explained: "Actually, I also have the same idea."

"Re-cultivation? Are these sects willing to open up their skills?" The old monk didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Like other casual cultivators, his inheritance was incomplete and not high-grade. He is willing to start over from the beginning, of course, if there is enough time.

"It's not the martial arts of those sects, but the martial arts practiced by the heirs of Jianzong." The little apprentice hesitated, not knowing what to say.

The old man didn't notice the abnormality, but was overjoyed: "That's good."

"It's not the Great Law of Swallowing the Sun and Moon." The little apprentice knew that Master had misunderstood it.

"What is that?" The old monk was a little puzzled.

"It's a great method called "Insect King Change". I heard that it will be infinitely powerful after being practiced." The little apprentice said bravely, and he became hesitant again. The words came to his mouth, but he couldn't speak them out.

"What else?" The old monk felt that the little apprentice was hiding something.

"One of the downsides of practicing this exercise is that you will become neither human nor demon." The big apprentice is calm.

The old monk hissed lightly.

"Hmph--I just said that guy is uneasy and kind." The guy who likes to argue has been listening to others with his ears upright. Now, he thought he had a clue, and started talking nonsense again.

He is now in a shambles, even secretly expecting that the sect that is dissatisfied with Xie Xiaoyu will appreciate him.

The two apprentices glanced at this man, and were about to argue, when a thick-skinned monk next to him yelled, "Shut your beak, and if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will stuff your head into the cavity."

The person who spoke was obviously a bit prestigious, so when he roared, all the people around him shrunk their necks involuntarily, and even the guy who liked to argue didn't dare to speak back.

The big man walked over step by step, glared at the man angrily and cursed: "You boy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, you can't be a good thing at first sight. I don't know the successor of Jianzong, but I have heard many people mention him, and there is no one who is not convinced, especially those The veterans who have been with him, when they mention him, are all grateful, but you are the only one who doesn't speak human words."

The big man turned around and shouted at the crowd: "I tell you, I am also determined to re-cultivate. The descendants of Jianzong have never fooled people with bad things. This "Insect King Transformation" is a skill he cultivated. This set of exercises has been practiced into an incarnation outside the body, and I heard that he is not weak in the face of the Taoists of all major sects in the sea outside Biliantian."

There was a commotion all around.

What is an avatar?
That is the Taoist Lord who possesses supreme supernatural powers.

It's really amazing that the King of Insects can make the true king practice out of his birth and incarnate.

"I'm going to rebuild too."

"Me too, so what if I'm neither human nor demon? Once I become an incarnation outside of my body, I'm absolutely hopeful."

"It's not just that, having an incarnation outside the body is equivalent to having an extra life for nothing."

The monks who just got off the boat were all excited.

Only the monk with the scarlet letter on his head looked resentful. If he had known this, he wouldn't have spoken indiscriminately. Now it's a good thing, he pushed himself into a desperate situation.
