The first time I stood under this city wall, it was a childish year, and I was carried by my master.

The second time he stood under this city wall was when he had just returned from the holy land of Dayao Mountain, and at that time, his diving career had come to an end temporarily.

The third time, this time.

Time flies.

A lot of things are changing.

But the walls have not changed, and through memory, he seems to have returned to the past.

It should have been a cold city wall, but at this moment, in Xu Yishan's eyes, it was warm, and it could stand like this with him for a long, long time.

Originally, he had not reached the threshold of promotion to the Heavenly Rank, and Xu Yishan would not come back.

This is actually a tacit understanding between the master and apprentice.

Because of this, over the years, Xu Yishan has rarely even written letters to his master.

In fact, if he really wanted to come over, he would go directly to the north along the Dongshan Mountain Range outside the county town, and then turn east into the Kunshan Mountain Range, two or three thousand miles away, even if the mountain range is more difficult, it can definitely be reached in one day.

And if his master wants to go to the county town, it will be simpler, Xu Yishan doesn't know how fast the speed of the master can be, but when he reaches the heavenly level, he can "go to the void", but he knows.

Maybe Shizun set off from the state capital after breakfast, and he still had time to go to him for lunch?

Maybe even earlier.

But at such a short distance, the master and apprentice have not seen each other for more than a hundred years, and the letters are only four letters.

It was Xu Yishan who wrote three letters to his master.

Shizun replied.

At this moment, with a slight sigh, Xu Yishan turned out to be a little homesick.

I don't know if the master's cultivation has progressed, and if he has reached the threshold of stepping towards the second level of the Heavenly Order?

I don't know his current situation, will the master be satisfied?

I guess it will.

There is no entrance fee to enter the city, but the small city at the bottom will need some copper plates.

With a slight sigh, Xu Yishan stepped into the city.

The buildings in the city have also changed a lot, compared with a hundred years ago, it can be regarded as a big change, Xu Yishan has gone all the way, and more than half of the shops in his memory have ceased to exist and have been replaced by new businesses.

However, the city is a cross pattern, and the Nanzhou Department is in the center of the cross.

Along the avenue, until the front was blocked by a row of bluestones, Xu Yishan turned into a small road on the side, and then turned several times in a row, and came to a courtyard gate behind the side of the state office.

A small gate in the side of the courtyard, the door is closed.

Xu Yishan was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, but at this moment, the wooden door creaked open.

And Xu Yishan was directly stunned.

After being stunned for a few moments, the next moment, he directly bent his knees and knelt on the ground, "Master!"

Standing inside the door was also a young man, who seemed to have some resemblance to Xu Yishan in temperament, because of this, if an uninformed outsider saw it, he would definitely think that this was a pair of brothers.

Who knows, this looks like a pair of young people of about twenty, one is a county guard, and the other is a state lord.

Under the lord of the country, there is the lord of the state.

And this lord of Nanzhou, sitting in Nanzhou as a heavenly order, is completely high-matched.

In fact, all people in the heavenly level are characters who can be on an equal footing with any lord in the world, and at most they are only slightly inferior, but in terms of level, there is no difference between the two.

At this moment, the state lord looked at the young man kneeling on the ground in front of him, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he said with a smile on his face: "Get up, get up, stand up, let the teacher take a good look!"

Half an hour later, in this small courtyard, at a stone table, the master and apprentice sat opposite each other.

Xu Yishan sat very restrained, obediently, like a few years old and afraid of life.

Then the other side laughed and scolded: "Stinky boy, you sit a little more generously for me, I see that I am about to reach the heavenly level, who are you showing like this?

"Master, the disciple has come back this time because he has something to tell. Xu Yishan laughed, and then said solemnly.

"If you don't say it, I know you have something to tell you. The young man on the other side shook his head, "I know the talent of my disciple, it is indeed extraordinary, but your performance is not only extraordinary, it is extraordinary and saintly, isn't it possible that there is a saint venerable to enlighten you?"

"Master, you know?" Xu Yishan said stunned.

On the other side, he was even more stunned, and then said in amazement: "What? Is there really a Holy Venerable coming to Nanzhou?"

"Master, please listen to the disciple's instructions!" Seeing the master's reaction, Xu Yishan did not delay any longer, but directly began to tell.

The story begins with a monk named Xu Tonghui stepping into the county seat of Annan.

The young man on the other side had been listening quietly without interrupting Xu Yishan's narration, and in the process of listening, his face kept changing, obviously, his heart was not calm.

It can even be said that it is extremely uncalm!

Because a celestial step, when he is idle, it is impossible to be moved casually and move like this!

When Xu Yishan finished speaking, the other side was still silent, and he didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, the other side said slowly: "Yishan, in fact, even if you don't come back this time, the teacher plans to send someone to you to write to you recently and let you come back, because I also have news to tell you here." ”

Xu Yishan didn't ask, just looked at the teacher.

"You also know that Weishi has something to do with the one in the imperial capital, and recently, Weishi got a piece of news. ”

"It was originally expected that the competition for the place in the Ascension Hall would start in about eighty years, and it will be determined one after another in twenty years. The young man opposite said.

Xu Yishan was surprised, and could even be said to be shocked, "Master, why?"

It is said that this was decided by several deities, and as for the specific reason, the teacher did not know. The young man shook his head, "Master Wei originally thought that you would definitely not have a chance this time, and I wanted you to come back just to tell you that you don't have to think too much, just meditate and practice, and continue to wait for the next opportunity." ”

"I didn't think of you here, and there was a big accident. ”

Xu Yishan groaned, but in fact, given that he didn't know anything about the information at the top, he didn't have anything to ask, so after a pause, he said, "Master, do you know which saint is the one in Annan?"

Hearing this, the other side glared directly, "What is Annan's one, that is also your master!"

After a short pause, he said, "Could it be that in the future, in front of that one, when you mention me, you will also say 'the one from Nanzhou'?"

Xu Yishan shrank his neck and said with a smile: "How dare the disciple! Whether it is the master or the saint, the disciple can't afford to offend, but both of them are masters, and the disciple doesn't know what to call for a while." ”

"That's simple, call me teacher in the future, call that teacher is it. The young man opposite said lightly.

"Master!" Xu Yishan said as if aggrieved.

"Why, as a saint, it's not worth your master?" The young man on the other side glared at Xu Yishan again, "You stinky boy doesn't know how much luck you have, I accepted you as a disciple back then It was your luck, but why didn't I know that even the Holy Venerable could look at you?"

"Of course, that is because the master has a unique vision, and he saw my advantages at a glance. Xu Yishan scratched his head and said flatteringly.

"That's really not!" the young man opposite shook his head:

"I accepted one of the Xu family as a disciple because I had a good relationship with one of the ancestors of your Xu family back then, but because he failed to achieve the Heavenly Rank, he kicked his legs early. ”

"When I passed by your Xu family, on a whim, I had the idea of accepting apprentices, and the first thing I saw was you playing at the door, so it was you. ”

Xu Yishan was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, "Master, is this the reason?"

"Isn't that a big reason?" said a smile in the young man's eyes, "I happened to have the idea of taking in an apprentice, and you happened to show me what this is? ”

"It is not only your luck, but also the luck of the teacher. ”

After a pause, the young man opposite became serious, and changed the topic:

"The one in Annan is a teacher, and I don't know which one it is. ”

"They exist like that, often where they think, is where they are, even if they are in Nanzhou today, it is not surprising that they will suddenly go to Beizhou tomorrow. ”

"As for the reason why he accepted you as a disciple, whether you or me, you don't have to make any unnecessary guesses, you just need to know that this is your luck and creation, maybe in the future, as a teacher, you will need to rely on you to pull up. ”

"Master, that little condensation is ......," Xu Yishan said.

The young man on the other side stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing, "This matter is too serious, don't tell me about it." ”

But the next moment, Xu Yishan reached out and took out a wooden box from his arms.

"Master, please rest assured, without the instructions of the Holy Venerable and Master, I will not tell you the recipe for the small condensation dispersion, and I will not configure the small condensation dispersion by myself under any circumstances. ”

Xu Yishan said, and after a pause, he lowered his head slightly and said:

"But this small condensation is the disciple's own, and I want to dedicate it to you. ”
