Chapter 1016 Testing
What's even better is that Xu Yi found that he really liked this kind of text decryption work. The mysterious unlocking of a rune was like walking through a maze. This feeling was indescribable.
He would even reminisce about the feeling of learning the Guiyuan Step and Hidden Edge Style in the past. It seemed that it was the sense of accomplishment brought by this early glimpse into the secrets of arithmetic, which continued to the cracking of the fire runes.
This sense of accomplishment may seem useless, but it is actually very useful.
The reason is simple. It is often difficult to persevere in something that is boring and long-lasting.
And this boring and long-lasting thing can always bring an endless sense of accomplishment. Naturally, I enjoy it. I don't even feel bored, but enjoy it.
Xu Yi lay on the ground, his eyelids as heavy as mountains, and gradually closed them.
He had a wonderful dream. In the dream, the runes he had deciphered turned into iron spirits, dancing in his palm according to his changes in mind.
Suddenly, each of the iron spirits turned into a luxury airplane, carrying them through the sky, across time and space, to the earth, and to their hometown...
The sleep was deep and the time passed by silently. When Xu Yi woke up again, what he saw was the anxious figure of Lao Cai. Outside the confinement, Lao Cai wandered around the room, extremely anxious.
Xu Yi hurriedly sat up and released his restraints. Lao Cai hurried in and reported, "To report to the leader, the Tiger Tooth Guard Zhou Qianjiang has been waiting for a long time."
"Huya Guard, General Zhou Qian, what is he here for?"
Xu Yi wondered.
"The old slave didn't know. He only said that he was looking for you and showed the jade sign of Huya Guard. The old slave then let him into the mountain gate and asked him what was going on. He only said that he was looking for you. The old slave said that you were in seclusion. He said He can wait. The old slave thought about his high status and didn't dare to delay because he didn't think there was anything important. So he came to report. Unfortunately, he happened to meet you and fell asleep. There was a restriction between him and the old slave couldn't wake you up. Fortunately, Please wake up, otherwise I'm afraid it will delay the big event."
After Lao Cai said this, he hurriedly urged Xu Yi to go quickly. In his opinion, the identity of the Thousand-man General of the Huya Guard was no small matter. He was a big shot at the level of a star official.
Xu Yi dismissed Lao Cai and went straight to the hall. When he stepped into the hall, he saw a young man in green robe sitting at the top. A star logo on the robe clearly shows his extraordinary identity.
If Qiu Daoming were here, he would be able to recognize this person at a glance. It is the young man in purple robe who is called "Second Brother".
"I didn't know that General Zhou Qian was coming to visit me, but I missed my welcome from afar. I apologize for my sin."
Xu Yi smiled and clasped his fists from afar, but he was thinking in his mind, what on earth did this person do here?
Zhou Qianjiang stood up and said with a smile, "I, Huya Guard Zhou Zongshi, have taken the liberty of visiting. Please forgive me."
The words "Huya Guard Zhou Zongshi" came to his ears, and Xu Yi immediately searched for information about this person in his mind.
At that time, Scorpion Sword Duan Xifeng, who came to challenge him, was sought after by everyone because he had a record that year, which was a battle with a big man who had served as a thousand-man general of Huya Guard. This person was none other than Zhou Zongshi.
"Wherever, Zhou Qianjiang is visiting, and the flowers are shining brightly. I can't ask for anything, and I can't forgive you. Zhou Qianjiang is coming, and there must be something important. Please make it clear."
Xu Yi responded falsely, but in his mind he was thinking about the reason for this person's visit, and thought to himself: Could it be because he killed the arrogant and domineering Huya Guard Hundred Chief Greedy Wolf, and the aftermath caused by the upper class finally spread to him?
"Quick words, he is indeed a member of my generation. Zhou came here for two things. One is to ask Brother Xu if he is interested in joining my Huya Guard. I am waiting for you to take the position of leader of a hundred people."
After saying that, Zhou Zongshi looked at Xu Yi with a smile.
Xu Yi was completely puzzled. He had been looking forward to recruiting for a day or two, but it still didn't come. Now, the recruitment suddenly came, but he had doubts. He thought about it for a moment, "I wonder if I can join the Huya Guard?" What are the requirements."
Zhou Zongshi said, "Of course there are requirements, and that is obedience, absolute obedience to superiors and officials. Of course, the status of the centurion leader of the Huya Guard is highly respected, which is by no means comparable to that of the first and second level leaders. All the people led by him are Those who are tigers and wolves are treated extremely well..."
Xu Yi interrupted, "I'm sorry, Xu is used to the leisurely clouds and wild cranes, and he can't bear the restraints. This Tiger Tooth Guard is not as good as him. Anyway, thank you Brother Zhou for your kindness."
When he heard the word "obey", he was too lazy to listen any further. He was practicing cultivation and all he wanted was freedom. Now that he was forced to live in the institutional cage established by the Holy Court in the North, he was no longer happy. How could he still be happy? Willing to enter the Huya Guard with more rules.
Zhou Zongshi was startled, but not angry, "Brother Xu has extraordinary character and lofty ambitions. Zhou understands this, so he dropped this matter and talked about another matter. Brother Xu may not know yet, but Zhou has another identity. He is the leader of the Huaixi Prefecture who went to Jiannan Road to participate in the Enke Examination. I heard that Brother Xu also occupied a spot, but he has not been promoted to Yin Zun. Now, all the eighteen candidates, except Brother Xu, have been Advancement. Zhou was entrusted by his superiors to ask how long it would take for Brother Xu to advance. After all, this Enke, in addition to single player competition, also has a group competition system, and some group formations still need to be trained. If Brother Xu doesn't advance, I'm afraid..."
Zhou Zongshi saved Xu Yi's face and looked at Xu Yi with a smile before he finished speaking.
He came here with a very clear purpose, precisely to recruit Xu Yi. Speaking of which, he and Xu Yi had never met, but he had already suffered a lot at Xu Yi's hands. Especially the death and injury of Greedy Wolf, Huya Guard was greatly shocked. The Zhou family also spent a lot of effort to calm down the storm. As for Zhou Zongshi, he was under great pressure from his family.
There is another incident, Xu Yiruo advanced to the position of Yin Zun and participated in the promotion of Enke. Although he and Xu Yi both belonged to Huaixi Mansion, there was still competition.
Originally, with the strength of his veteran Yin Master, if it were someone else, even if he advanced to the position of Yin Master, so what, how could he surpass him, Zhou, in a short period of time.
But the talent Xu Yi showed could not allow him to pretend not to see that once a person of this generation advanced, he would immediately become a formidable opponent for him.
Originally, due to the turmoil caused by Greed Wolf's death, Xu Yi had offended Feng Tingshu and Deputy Secretary Zhao, and his reputation among the entire Huaixi Mansion's senior officials was extremely poor. Coupled with the deliberate operation of the anti-Xu forces, No one is willing to recruit Xu Yi. From this point of view, it seems that Xu Yi's way to advance to Yin Zun has been blocked.
But on Shouqiu Lake, everyone gathered together for the second time, and a casual conversation made Zhou Zongshi worried again.
He was really afraid that Xu Yi wouldn't be able to wait any longer and would grovel to seek refuge with someone who was willing to reward him with a soul talisman. If that was the case, with Xu Yi's talents and his services as a slave, there would definitely be a force willing to accept him. .
