#185 - The best female swordsman in the world! (5K subscription required)
“Everyone knows the gatekeeper is a good job, but they can't forget fame and fortune. Where are the generals and ministers of ancient and modern times? Just a pile of grassy graves.”
“You also want to be gatekeepers?”
Across the table, a scholar-like man with a small mustache held a folding fan and spoke in a refined manner.
Duan Yun and the Murong brothers blinked and said, “Yes, we do.”
After a long journey, the two old devils finally arrived at the territory of the Jade Spirit Sect.
This Jade Spring City is the largest city near the Jade Spirit Sect.
They can't handle going to the Jade Spirit Sect to be gatekeepers themselves; they can only find the Rolled Curtain Gate for this kind of thing.
The Rolled Curtain Gate is a neutral intelligence organization that also engages in recruitment and employment.
Many of the less important industries of Jianghu sects, such as recruiting servants, attendants, and even delivering star anger, are mostly entrusted to this time-honored Rolled Curtain Gate.
After all, the Rolled Curtain Gate has been a gold-lettered signboard for so many years. Jianghu people have to cultivate, take care of their industries, and participate in Jianghu events every day. Where do they have so much free time to manage these “small things”?
Even if some sects do these small things themselves, the Jianghu is the Jianghu of the people. The Rolled Curtain Gate is almost a local snake everywhere, and can always talk to these sects.
So, after Duan Yun and the Murong brothers arrived in Jade Spring City, they found the Rolled Curtain Gate as soon as possible.
If money can solve the problem, then spend money. After all, Young Master Duan's schedule is tight.
Now standing in front of Duan Yun and the Murong brothers is the local Rolled Curtain Gate's shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper recited poetry to them as soon as he heard that they wanted to be gatekeepers of the Jade Spirit Sect, which the two had not expected.
At this time, the scholar shopkeeper pondered for a moment and said, “There is a vacancy for a gatekeeper at the Jade Spirit Sect, but you don't have enough money.”
Duan Yun was shocked and said, “One thousand taels of silver isn't enough to be a gatekeeper?”
This sounds like spending ten million to get into a company as a security guard, with a monthly salary of two thousand and no bonus, which is outrageous.
The scholar shopkeeper said with emotion, “There's no way, too many people want to be gatekeepers. Nowadays in Jianghu, who doesn't want to be a gatekeeper at the Jade Spirit Sect and attract those restless female sword immortals.”
“Don't even mention you two, even I want to try it if I could get rid of this mess. Everyone in Jianghu wants to take advantage, why not me!” The shopkeeper couldn't help but complain.
As a gynecologist, Duan Yun said seriously, “I want to see if these female sword immortals can still be saved.”
The shopkeeper quickly said, “I understand! Feeding the mother tiger with your body, saving the lost female sword immortals, maybe you'll form a beautiful relationship, that's every man's dream.”
Duan Yun: “…”
Murong brothers: “…”
They originally wanted to complain, but found that this guy made some sense.
Men like to persuade prostitutes to be good.
Just like the storyteller said before, Old Devil Duan also likes to turn compassionate female sword immortals into his own.
Duan Yun couldn't help but say, “I'm really a serious doctor.”
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, “Sir, come on. Even if you are a doctor, can your medical skills compare to Doctor Xue? Doctor Xue came to see them a few months ago, it's useless. The Jade Spirit Sect was harmed by Old Devil Duan. Can the female sword immortals harmed by Old Devil Duan easily escape the sea of bitterness?
They are existences that even Bodhisattvas can hardly save.”
Old Devil Duan, the devil himself, thought, “Have I been portrayed as so perverted?”
Seeing that the two were no longer talking, the scholar shopkeeper looked like he had seen through them and said, “Let me tell you two the truth, the female sword immortals of the Jade Spirit Sect have been a little unstable since they were harmed by Old Devil Duan, this is your chance.”
Hearing this, the Murong brothers' hearts had already flown to the Jade Spirit Sect.
Duan Yun said, “But we only have so much.”
The scholar shopkeeper nodded and said, “Actually, the Jade Spirit Sect is just asking us to introduce you. This money is enough for you to compete. Whether you are selected or not depends on your abilities.”
“Just an introduction, and the competition is so expensive?” Duan Yun complained.
“This is the market price now. A bunch of noble masters are waiting for this opportunity outside. If my Rolled Curtain Gate didn't have to take care of this gold-lettered signboard and couldn't choose too unreliable old men, this little money wouldn't be enough at all.
By the way, do you have any diseases? Let me say first, the Jade Spirit Sect has explained that people with diseases are not allowed.”
The shopkeeper added.
The Murong brothers hesitated and said, “What kind of disease?”
“Of course, it's that kind of disease. You don't have a disease, do you?”
The Murong brothers quickly denied, “I don't have a disease.”
The shopkeeper said worriedly, “I'm afraid it won't work, call Wu Ma to check this guest's body.”
In the end, the Murong brothers were checked by Wu Ma before they were allowed to stay.
The Murong brothers asked doubtfully, “What are the chances of us being selected?”
The shopkeeper observed him and said, “You two are young and healthy, so it shouldn't be low.”
Hearing this, the Murong brothers became confident and said, “Then who has a better chance, me or him?”
The shopkeeper squinted at him and said, “To be honest, the Jade Spirit Sect is all women, so naturally he has a better chance, but if you go to something like the Golden Alliance Sect, you will definitely have a better chance.”
Seeing the other party's lecherous eyes, the Murong brothers suddenly felt terrified.
This guy is actually coveting his handsomeness.
At night, the Murong brothers couldn't sleep.
His heart had already flown to his possible sister.
He must save his sister!
His sister is the best in the world!
With his experience, his sister will definitely be unable to help but develop feelings for him, and even fall in love with him.
He must control himself and not get caught up in it.
He is here to save his sister, not to create a karmic relationship.
When Duan Yun catches his sister and uses all means to heal her, it will be no problem.
But thinking of the process of Duan Yun treating his two sisters, and the way they shivered on their bodies, his hair suddenly turned green.
Duan Yun didn't know what he was thinking, and seeing this, he complained, “You said you were going to dye your hair black, why is it green again?”
The Murong brothers suddenly woke up, quickly calmed his mind, and his hair returned to a blackish-dark green state. If you don't look closely, you won't notice that it's green.
Two days later, it was the day for the Jade Spirit Sect to recruit servants.
There is a green lake in front of the Jade Spirit Sect's mountain gate, and you must take a boat to get there.
When he arrived at the pier, Duan Yun was shocked.
This time, they are only recruiting two gatekeepers and two maids, why are so many people here?
Especially the gatekeepers, there are twelve people at a glance.
Twelve people, five hundred taels each, this is robbery!
As soon as Duan Yun and the Murong brothers arrived, they attracted a lot of hostile gazes.
Especially Duan Yun, who immediately made a group of men stare at him covetously.
“You're so handsome, you're here to compete with us for the gatekeeper position, don't you want to live!”
Yes, the competition started from this moment.
To get to the other side of the lake, you have to take a boat.
I saw a few awning boats just arrived at the shore, and a group of people rushed up.
Duan Yun and the Murong brothers only felt that these guys were outrageous, so they got on the last and most dilapidated boat.
Seeing that the boats in front had sailed a distance, the Murong brothers couldn't help but urge, “Buddy, can you hurry up?”
The boatman said with a smile, “Don't worry, my boat is famous for being slow.”
The Murong brothers couldn't help but complain, “Then can you be faster?”
“Yes, you have to add money.”
“Then can I row?”
“No, you have to add money.”
With a plop, someone fell into the water in front.
It turned out that someone on the boat was fighting.
Haven't even reached the mountain gate yet, and they are already so ruthless in solving their competitors?
Compared to the tension on the boats in front, this slow boat with only Duan Yun and the Murong brothers seemed quite peaceful and tranquil.
However, after a stick of incense, two more people fell into the water due to fighting.
Duan Yun and the Murong brothers were enjoying the show as onlookers.
The two never thought that just coming to be a gatekeeper could be such an interesting experience.
The two were watching with great interest. After all, on the boat in front, two men were already pulling each other's hair and digging their nostrils. As a result, at this moment, the bottom of the boat suddenly made a cracking sound.
The Murong brothers and Duan Yun walked over to take a look, and suddenly found a big hole in the bottom of the boat.
“Is it necessary to do this?”
This was obviously someone who fell into the water just now and was proficient in swimming, who had pierced their boat.
After all, Duan Yun is too handsome, I'm afraid he was already targeted.
Seeing the water pouring into the boat, Duan Yun couldn't help but ask, “Boatman, is there any way to fix this?”
Seeing this, the boatman was also depressed and said, “Of course there is, just row faster. I, Li Si, am a famous fast boat.”
“Then hurry up.”
“No, this is hard work.”
“Then how can you exert strength?”
“You have to add... glug glug... money.”
At this time, adding money is no longer useful, because the boat has completely sunk.
Duan Yun and the Murong brothers floated on the water.
Now they are here to compete for the gatekeeper position, so naturally they can't expose too high martial arts skills, so they can only swim to the other side.
The Murong brothers are very good at swimming, after all, he can do backstroke on the ground, let alone in the water.
Duan Yun swayed his body and followed him to swim over.
I saw that at this time, there were at least ten or so people floundering in the lake.
This good boat trip has turned into a swimming competition.
The Murong brothers can be described as coming from behind, swimming very fast in a backstroke position.
He suddenly became the target of public criticism, and two people even came to drag his legs, but they were all dodged by him nimbly.
He is the young master of the Murong family, the whitest, most handsome, and most talented existence of the Murong family's three generations, can he be defeated by these people competing for the gatekeeper position?
The Murong brothers and Duan Yun finally made it to the shore.
Of the thirteen people competing for the gatekeeper position, only nine are left now, and they are all soaked.
At this time, a woman with muscles all over her body, almost square, walked over in white.
“You can swim over so quickly, which proves that you are not sick, follow me.”
Looking at the other party's muscles and the big sword on her back that was like a door panel, Duan Yun and the Murong brothers were sweating.
Is this a female sword immortal?
The others were also apprehensive.
They are gatekeepers to save the Jade Spirit Sect's female sword immortals, and if the female sword immortals they usually come into contact with are like this, they would rather die.
Just when everyone was apprehensive, suddenly their eyes lit up.
I saw another female sword immortal in front of me.
I saw that this young woman was fair-skinned and beautiful, with a delicate appearance, but for some reason, her eyes were a little out of focus, and coupled with a well-behaved bangs, she looked a little dull.
Duan Yun thought, “Could this girl be nearsighted?”
Yes, the slightly out-of-focus and dull appearance of this female sword immortal always reminded him of his female classmate in his previous life who was nearsighted but didn't like to wear glasses.
It has to be said that this kind of clear and a little dull temperament is a bit attractive.
This looks like the little junior sister who is rumored to be ignorant of the world.
For a time, the Murong brothers decided to protect this beauty.
Yes, in addition to saving his own sister, this one must also be saved!
The two women led the crowd to the mountain gate of the Jade Spirit Sect.
At this time, I saw the well-behaved little junior sister combing her hair.
She combed the hair on her forehead upwards, revealing a clean forehead. At the same time, her whole temperament changed.
Yes, if the woman just now was a slightly dull and cute girl, then now she has become a beautiful fairy who is out of the dust, with a thrilling beauty.
At this time, several female disciples in white clothes walked over and said respectfully, “Eldest Senior Sister.”
“Eldest, Eldest Senior Sister?” The Murong brothers said in surprise.
This woman who looks a little dull is actually the Eldest Senior Sister among the third-generation disciples of the Jade Spirit Sect?
But I have to admit that since she changed her hair to a single ponytail, her whole temperament has changed. While being dazzlingly beautiful, she also has a sense of oppression.
The change was really big. In Duan Yun's perception, it was almost like a Japanese AV actress suddenly putting on clothes, almost unrecognizable.
Yes, at this moment, her bust has changed from a B cup to a C+.
Okay, okay, the Eldest Senior Sister of the Jade Spirit Sect is playing like this, right?
At this time, the atmosphere of competing for the gatekeeper position has changed.
Those who came here to compete for the gatekeeper position are actually Jianghu people, some are even old fritters. Before, they thought this woman was a little junior sister who was ignorant of the world, so naturally they were relaxed, but in the blink of an eye, the other party became the Eldest Senior Sister.
Moreover, as this woman sat down, she became the examiner for selecting gatekeepers.
At this time, the woman sat there with her legs crossed, revealing an overbearing aura.
Yes, her aura actually suppressed her fellow apprentice who was carrying a door-panel-sized sword.
The woman said, “My name is Yu Zhenzhen, and I hope the gatekeepers and maids know the rules. There are a lot of you here, but only two gatekeepers and two maids can stay.”
Yu Zhenzhen lowered her head, sketching something with a pen, without raising her eyes, and said, “Starting from the left, describe what is special about you and why you think you are suitable to be a gatekeeper or a maid.”
The one on the left was a big man.
The man was not flustered and said with a smug look, “I used to be a gold-medal镖师. I haven't deliberately practiced cultivation. I have experienced hundreds of battles, big and small, in five years of镖师, and I have won every battle. I have gained something from every battle, and I am getting stronger and stronger. I have rarely met an opponent.
People around me say that I am a rare cultivation genius, good at nurturing war with war. I think so too, so being a gatekeeper and guarding the Jade Spirit Sect is simply a piece of cake.”
With a bang, Yu Zhenzhen suddenly punched the man in the face, and the man fell to the ground in response.
“Obviously, it's an illusion.”
Yu Zhenzhen waved her hand and said this sentence lightly.
After that, the man who fell to the ground was dragged away by the square female sword immortal, unconscious.
Seeing this scene, many people became nervous.
This Senior Sister seems petty and unapproachable.
Instantly, she gives off a dangerous vibe.
"Next."
"Fairy, I lost both my parents at a young age and have been lonely ever since. A few days ago, the only old dog that had accompanied me for many years also passed away. I was disheartened and even contemplated suicide. By chance, I discovered that the Qiong Ling Sect was recruiting doorkeepers.
It felt like destiny! A destiny to cheer me up!
If I don't become the doorkeeper, I would rather die here, drop dead on the spot, and have my line extinguished!"
"I beg you, Fairy, please grant my wish!"
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground with a 'thud' and kowtowed until his head bled.
Faced with this man's speech, Duan Yun and the Murong brothers were shocked.
Good heavens, is that how you do it?
However, Yu Zhenzhen sat there and said, "You won't do."
The man, bleeding, was shocked and said, "Why? Is my sincerity not enough?"
"Being a doorkeeper is just being a doorkeeper, it requires patience and a stable personality. You keep threatening to die, you don't qualify," Yu Zhenzhen said coldly.
"What! Believe it or not, I'll die here right now!"
"I'm afraid of myself when I go crazy!"
As he spoke, the man suddenly pulled out a knife from his waist, startling everyone.
Seeing this, Yu Zhenzhen said, "Fourth Junior Sister, since he is so eager to die, leave him a whole corpse, don't flatten him too much."
"Yes, Senior Sister."
The square-faced female sword immortal drew her door-sized sword and walked towards the man who was desperately seeking death.
The man immediately collapsed to the ground, shouting, "No! Fairy, spare me!"
In the end, he ran away with his pants wet.
Seeing this, the Murong brothers said, "He doesn't even have the courage to die, yet he wants to be a doorkeeper."
The person standing next to him was speechless for a moment.
He knew that the competition for doorkeepers at the Qiong Ling Sect was fierce, after all, they were all here to save the lost female sword immortals, but this constant talk of dying, the requirements were too high.
"Next."
At this moment, Duan Yun walked over and stood in front of Yu Zhenzhen.
Yu Zhenzhen lowered her head, looking at the booklet with her nearsighted eyes, and said, "Xu Xian, what are your strengths that make you suitable to be a doorkeeper?"
Duan Yun thought for a moment and replied, "I am handsome, guarding the door can be pleasing to the eye."
Yu Zhenzhen raised her head, moved a little closer, and carefully looked at Duan Yun for a while, and said, "Very reasonable, you pass."
"Damn!"
Seeing this, everyone gasped.
Is this really okay?
Is the Qiong Ling Sect so superficial? Are you recruiting doorkeepers or male stars!
One spot was taken, leaving only one left, and everyone became nervous.
Especially the Murong brothers.
The first time he saw Yu Zhenzhen, he decided to protect her. Now that he sees her become a domineering Senior Sister, he is even more determined to protect her.
The ever-changing Senior Sister is so touching!
You can't not give him a chance!
"Next, reason."
"I am also a well-known handsome young man from the surrounding villages. I believe that being a doorkeeper with the previous brother will be even more pleasing to the eye."
At this moment, a scholar-dressed man opened a folding fan and waved it.
Yu Zhenzhen raised her head, moved a little closer again, and carefully looked at him twice, and said, "You, won't do."
"Wh, why!" The scholar looked as if struck by lightning and said.
"Too ugly," Yu Zhenzhen said decisively.
The scholar wanted to argue, but he was already dragged away.
Next, it was the Murong brothers' turn.
"Reason."
The Murong brothers took a deep breath, and said with a look of deep affection, "I just want to guard the gate of the Qiong Ling Sect. I think the salary is so high, and the senior sisters are cultivating inside, even if I pay the price of my life, I must guard the gate well!"
Yu Zhenzhen didn't even look at him and said, "You, pass."
"That's all for today."
The Murong brothers were so happy that they almost jumped up.
Her eyesight is so good!
She has me in her heart!
Otherwise, why would she let me become a doorkeeper without even looking at me!
I am even more excellent than the old devil Duan.
Female sword immortals are the best in the world!
