Chapter 10: Wan Xuan

Ye Kong is sick. This news didn't make many waves in the compound of Ye Mansion, and no one cared about it, in their opinion, even if this fool was not stupid, he wouldn't be able to make any big waves.

However, for Ye Kong, this soul damage is actually not a bad thing. A bold guy like him, he dared to practice indiscriminately without exercises, and in the future, he had all kinds of exercises in hand, and he didn't know what to do with the Dao, and this experience made him more cautious on the road of cultivation.

Three days later, Ye was empty in the house.

"Mother, I'm fine, I don't need to drink. Ye Kong disgustingly pushed away the bitter medicine bowl.

"Kong'er, the medicine is bitter, you just drank it for three days, it's almost good, hold on for another three days, and when it's completely well, we'll stop, okay?" Chen Jiuniang sat on the edge of the bed and persuaded.

In fact, Ye Kong is very clear, he is only injured in his soul, he is very healthy, and there is no medicine that can be eaten in the soul, and now it is much better, that is because the soul has the ability to recover itself, not to mention that he is just overexerting himself, not injured.

But these Ye Kong didn't say to the old lady, looking at the top of the tent for a long time, and found that the old lady was still holding it, so she had no choice but to take it, "Okay, okay, I can't drink it?" Oh, I'm really afraid of you." ”

After resting in bed for three days, Ye Kong felt much better, and just as he was about to get out of bed, he heard the old lady talking to someone outside, and the voice was getting closer and closer.

Ye Hollow said, could it be that someone came to visit him? This Cangnan Continent is really cruel, a useless person like himself has not seen anyone to visit him for three days, who is this today?

"Ga~" The long doorshaft turned, and a tall young man in his twenties stood outside the door.

It was Ye Wei who came, he is now twenty-six years old, and now he has opened a mansion and built a government, married a wife and had children, led troops to fight, and became Ye Haoran's powerful arm.

This eldest brother can't take care of the idiot eighth brother, but he is more upright, and when he encounters injustice, he often comes forward to help the poor mother and son, but he leads the troops all the year round, and after getting married, he opened his own government and built a mansion, which helped Ye Kong for a while, but he couldn't help his mother and son.

But in the mind of the idiot Ye Kong, he is already very grateful to this big brother, after all, in this mansion, only he does not scold himself for being a fool, and only he will help say two fair words.

"Big brother. When Ye Kong saw Ye Wei coming in, he was a little moved and even his eyes were red.

"You lie down, I've been at my house for the past two days, I heard about it as soon as I came over today, hurry up and come to see you, I heard last time that you were conscious, and I didn't have time to meet you. Ye Wei put down the snack box and small paper bag he was carrying, walked quickly to the edge of the bed and sat down.

When he was on Earth, Ye Kong felt that he was hard-hearted enough, and he wouldn't cry when he encountered anything touching. But when I came here, I found that I was called fragile, and the human beings here were called hard-hearted, and no one would have mercy on the weak, but only fall into the well.

But fortunately, there is a big brother who is good to him.

The two chatted casually for a while, Ye Kong said that he wanted to go to the school to study literature, Ye Wei told him that the teacher was an old pedant and a very old-fashioned person, but the poetry and articles were a must, so that Ye Kong could study hard and make a name for himself in the future.

Ye Kong smiled, he just wanted to be literate when he went to study, and he had no intention of studying poetry and books to gain fame.

After chatting for a while, Ye Wei saw that Ye Kong was really good at brains, and asked some old stories, and found that Ye Kong also remembered it clearly, so he was more relieved.

"Last time, I heard my father say that you are too late to practice martial arts, and you are going to study hard, so I went to buy some pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and the four treasures of the study. "Ye Wei can also be regarded as a caring person, in this Cangnan Continent, the poor can't even afford pen, ink and paper.

"Brother Xie Lu, Brother Xie. Ye Kong hurriedly thanked.

"You're welcome, brother. Then I'll go back first, the eighth brother will recuperate with peace of mind, study hard after his body recovers, and he will have a bright day in the future. After Ye Wei finished speaking, he nodded and smiled, and went out in Xie Luxi, who Chen Jiuniang couldn't stop.

"The eldest young master is really a good person. Chen Jiuniang sent Ye Wei away, returned to the room and sighed, put the pen and ink bag aside, opened the dim sum box, and wanted to take some dim sum for Ye Kong to eat, but when she opened it, she found that there was no dim sum inside, just a letter of silver of fifty taels.

"The eldest young master is really a good person. Chen Jiuniang couldn't help but repeat it again, and then said to Ye Kong, "In the future, when you have a chance, remember to repay the kindness of others." ”

"Zhilu said, mother, you better quickly put away the silver, so as not to be seen by Ye Cai and they want to think badly. Ye Kong replied with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart, Ye Wei would definitely take over Ye Haoran's position as the head of the family in the future, would he need a useless person to repay his kindness?

Chen Jiuniang didn't have such a complicated mind as him, so she happily picked up the silver, said, "My mother has saved it for you to marry your daughter-in-law", and went back to the house to put the silver.

"Come on, buddy, I'm only twelve. Ye Kong smiled bitterly.

When the old lady went out, Ye Kong was bored and half lay down, and remembered the book in his head again.

"A collection of charms. If you can get into your head, it must not be an ordinary thing...... But how do you open it?"

Ye Kong closed his eyes, he still remembered the spell book, he had a feeling that if he wanted to survive in this cruel and helpless Cangnan Continent, it seemed that the only way to rely on this book hidden in his soul was to rely on it.

But he has already suffered a big loss, and he doesn't dare to try it easily anyway.

The days passed, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and Ye Kong's damaged soul gradually improved.

Ye Kong's study life began, going to the school every morning and coming back for lunch at noon.

There is an old gentleman in the school hall in the house, named Zhang Wude, who has a face like a secondary door panel all day long, and he is not smiling.

Zhang Wude didn't have a good impression of Ye Kong at first, because he knew that he was stupid, what words did he learn if he was stupid, wouldn't it be an insult to teach a fool?

But later he said that he was not stupid, but if you are really not stupid, you should work harder, a lazy look that can't open your eyes, and it is estimated that you will not be able to learn well.

But after a few days, Zhang Wude found that he still misjudged him, although this child looked lazy, but he was actually very serious, neither like those big children who always revolve around girls, nor like those little children who are playing around, on the contrary, Ye Kong has a kind of old age that does not match his age, and his eyes are like adults.

And more importantly, Ye Kong has his own opinion on everything, although he will constantly swear words when he speaks, he is very reasonable, and often says a classic sentence, which makes Zhang Wude very happy, thinking that he has met a good material, and wants to pass on all his ink to him.

But Ye Kong has no interest in those poems and songs at all, he is more concerned about those strange things, such as whether there is Buddhism, Taoism or Christianity in this world, such as whether there are immortals, where to find immortals, and whether there are people in this world who draw talismans and whether there are ghosts.

Zhang Wude was also stunned when asked about strange things and so on, but this old scholar is also rich in experience, not only reading thousands of books, but also traveling thousands of miles as an official for many years, and he also knows a little about some things that are not clear to mortals.

He told Ye Kong that there was no sect in this world, but there were immortals, and to be precise, they could not be called immortals, because they had not yet cultivated into immortals, and they were called immortal cultivators.

Immortal cultivators generally belong to various sects or families of immortal cultivators, but these people are devoted to cultivation and disdain to associate with mortals, so it is rare to see.

In addition to the organized immortal cultivators, there are also some scattered cultivators, but most of these casual cultivators are not high, because there is no backing mountain, and when they are alone, they kill people and seize treasures, so casual cultivation is very rare, and they dare not show their heads on weekdays.

Zhang Wude also heard that in addition to immortal cultivators, there are also demon cultivators [Those who come to cultivate immortals are ruthless people, and those demon cultivators are even more terrifying. The biggest difference is that immortal cultivators kill people and grab treasures, while demon cultivators don't need a reason to kill people at all.

As for the ghosts and talismans, it is not clear, after all, he has not cultivated immortals, and he can only know some general situations of the Dao, and the details are unknown.

However, Zhang Wude still has a lot of books, many of which are rare and exotic objects, Ye Kong likes to read this kind of books the most, but the Cangnan characters he knows now are still very scarce, and many of them are not very recognizable, which affects his reading.

Time flies, and more than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Early this morning, Ye Kong packed up, asked his mother to comb her hair in a bun, changed into a clean gown, took pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and left the hospital to go to the school hall.

As soon as he walked out of the small courtyard door, he looked up and saw the housekeeper Ye Cai hurriedly running in from the outside, as if he had encountered something urgent, and ran in the direction of the inner courtyard.

"Is there a fire? or is it dead?" Ye Kong snorted, still walking towards the academy.

As soon as Ye Kong left, he saw Ye Haoran dressed neatly, and walked out quickly with Ye Wei and the second lady, with an irrepressible joy on his face.

A group of several people, three steps and two steps, quickly walked out of the door, outside the door, an old man with white hair stood indifferently, the old man was only wearing a long shirt, his face was very ordinary, and a small black and gray bag was hanging around his waist. Such an ordinary old man, the streets of the southern capital abound, and those soldiers guarding the door didn't understand why Ye Haoran, the head of the family, wanted to take his son and wife out to greet him in person.

"Oh, the immortal master has arrived, please come inside. General Ye, who was usually extremely majestic, saw this old man, and his face smiled like a blooming flower.

"Oh, you're welcome, I haven't seen you for five years, and the general's demeanor is still the same. Wan Xuan Zhenren smiled and said a greeting, and followed Ye Haoran into the gate of the extraordinary Ye family.

"Where is it, I'm old, wow, I'm a mortal, where can I be as good as the immortal master, I think the immortal master's demeanor is better than back then, it must be a breakthrough in cultivation. Ye Haoran flattered as he walked.

Wan Xuan Zhenren smiled bitterly, "General Ye, how do you know that the Dao Immortal Dao is difficult, like the old man, he has basically reached the top of his cultivation, and if he wants to break through again, there is no coincidence, it is impossible to go further." ”

Ye Haoran was moved when he heard Wan Xuan Zhenren, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Immortals have a long lifespan, much longer than the life limit of mortals such as me, and I believe that real people will also have a fate." ”

Wan Xuan Zhenren didn't want to talk more about his cultivation, and then said with a smile: "Immortal cultivators do have a much longer life than mortals, and many immortal cultivators have skills in their appearance, so they can't guess their age by their appearance, when I first practiced, I once saw a young man who looked like he was twenty years old, who knew that when I asked, that person was actually an old-timer who became famous five hundred years ago." ”

"Ha Lu Ha. Everyone laughed with Da Lang.

However, listening to Wan Xuanzhen's words, Ye Haoran and Ye Wei's eyes were full of yearning for cultivating immortals, not to mention anything else, just say immortality, which is enough to make mortals' eyes red and their hearts warm.

Even the second wife who followed on the side was very warm, if she could become an immortal and live forever, how beautiful it would be. But she also knew that Ye Haoran could let his son and daughter cultivate immortals, but he would not let his wife and concubine cultivate immortals. You must know that Ye Haoran wants to keep the Ye family safe forever, if he lets his wife and concubine go out of Lu to catch some powerful immortals, cuckolding is a small matter, and it will be counterproductive.

Since she can't cultivate immortals, the second wife pins her hopes on Ye Wen and Ye Wu, as long as one of them becomes an immortal, isn't it a decision for her wife to fill the house?

Of course, I heard that cultivating immortals also requires qualifications, and the second wife hated herself for not having a few more, if she gave birth to one hundred and eighty children, then there would be many chances. But now it's obviously too late to give birth, so she begged Ye Haoran before to let her brother's daughter and the immortal check her qualifications.

Ye Haoran was reminded by her, and felt that it was right, after all, the qualification of cultivating immortals was one out of ten thousand, if none of his children could be selected, then the children of relatives, friends, and loyal servants could also be, if there was an immortal here, he would also be grateful to him Ye Haoran for helping to introduce the door.

So Ye Haoran made two preparations, first himself and his children, if there is an immortal cultivation qualification, then the alternate will not be mentioned. If not, then the second echelon, the children of relatives and friends, the children of loyal servants of the Ye family (that is, the servants who were given the surname Ye).

Ye Cai followed from afar, although he couldn't hear what the master said, but he was also very nervous in his heart, he prayed that none of Ye Haoran's family could be selected, so that his son's substitute team could play? Hehe, if my Ye Cai's son is an immortal, this Ye family's old son can go sideways, and that Li Laosi, who called you not surnamed Ye, I'm afraid you don't even know the news!

Thinking of Li Laosi, Ye Cai naturally thought of another person who didn't get the news, Ye Kong. Hehe, you fool, whoever calls you bad popularity, who calls you unhappy with the second wife, Lao Tzu won't inform you.

But he thought about it again, in fact, it was okay to call that fool (9), is the second wife making a fuss, a fool may he have the qualifications to be an immortal?

And at this moment, Ye Kong, who was bent on cultivating immortals, still didn't know anything, still flipping through the book at Zhang Wude, he didn't know that a great opportunity to enter the immortal gate was about to slip through his fingers.

"Sir, why do you only say that the continent is surrounded by endless floods, so what is in the floods, are all immortals living there?" Ye Kong asked.

Zhang Wude shook his head, "I don't know the Dao, the internal crisis of the Flood Wilderness is full of dangers, all kinds of demon beasts are rampant, no one can go deep inside, even those barbarians who have survived on the edge of the Flood Wilderness since ancient times, they only dare to go around the periphery of the Flood Wilderness, no one knows the situation inside the Flood Wilderness, nor do they know what the end of the Flood Wilderness is, I don't think the immortals will choose to cultivate in that place." ”

"Oh, so that's the case, so where can I find the immortals?" Ye Kong asked directly.

Zhang Wude smiled, he didn't blame, in fact, he also wanted to cultivate into an immortal for a while.

"Kong'er, being an immortal is not as easy as you imagined, even if you find it, people may not necessarily accept you, cultivating immortals requires spiritual roots. Although there are one or two in ten thousand who have a spiritual root, but in fact, this spiritual root has a inheritance factor, like your Ye family ancestors did not have any immortals, even if ten thousand Ye family members stood up, they would not produce a spiritual root. The path of cultivating immortals, you still don't want to be delusional......"
