Chapter 140: The Hundred Schools of Election Advance
"Okay, big brother!"
Xu Daoyun laughed and led Tie Niu to complete a series of complicated procedures required to enter the company, including registration, receiving clothes, receiving rewards and cultivation.
Everything was done, but one thing was missing.
The two walked towards the group of houses on the west side of Yun Weisi, Xu Daoyun smiled bitterly: "Tie Niu, you are too tall, there are no clothes in the warehouse that you can wear, but you don't have to worry, the two embroidery girls inside have excellent craftsmanship, and the needlework is superb, and they will definitely be able to make it within two days." ”
"Hmm. Tie Niu nodded, not happy or angry, and followed Xu Daoyun's side, the momentum was as majestic as a mountain, and between breaths and breaths, the dull breathing sound was like muffled thunder, majestic.
Xu Daoyun said: "The house on the west side has just been built, it is very exquisite, obviously the commander has made a lot of efforts in this regard, and now less than half of the people live there, and the new disciples have not yet chosen a residence, and there are many vacant rooms." We are a small banner and have our own courtyard, a total of twenty-four courtyards, and now there are fifteen courtyards inhabited by people, Tie Niu, where do you want to live?"
Tie Niu didn't think about it, and blurted out: "The courtyard next to the eldest brother." ”
Xu Daoyun smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, yes, come with me." ”
The two of them came to the twenty-four courtyards where only the little flag master was qualified to live, and after choosing the house, Xu Daoyun said with a smile: "Tie Niu, you are new here, the eldest brother will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you, please go to the Drunken Immortal Building to eat and drink." ”
"Good!" Iron Bull nodded heavily.
Drinking and eating, of course, is a lot of people and a good appetite. So Xu Daoyun called Zhu Bo and invited Zhao Sijie, but she couldn't shirk it, Xu Daoyun was not reluctant, so she had to give up.
Wunan Peak is only a few miles away from Qingping County, and the three of them did not ride horses and went down the mountain on foot.
Zhu Bo shook his head and sighed: "Hey, people are more popular than people, Brother Tie Niu became the little flag master as soon as he started, I don't know how many years it will take to have this honor." ”
Xu Daoyun comforted: "Brother Zhu, life in the world must have its role, but the time has not yet come, why should you be arrogant." ”
Zhu Bo sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Brother Zhu, you have to enjoy eating, otherwise you will drink in vain. ”
Zhu Bo heard the taste of drunken immortal brewing, and when he was in good spirits, he stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, and said, "What Brother Daoyun said is that compared to eating wine, these are trivial things, and they are not worth mentioning." ”
"Brother Zhu is really sensible!" Xu Daoyun gave a thumbs up and praised.
When she came to Zuixianlou, Chen Ning was naturally warmly entertained, she had a rule, all guests who came to Zuixianlou for the first time, no matter what their identity or background, even if they were beggars.
This is also a means for her to make good connections, which makes people admire.
Chen Ning led the three of them to the window on the third floor, and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Daoyun, I haven't seen you for half a month, I was busy with promotion, congratulations to Junior Brother Daoyun for being promoted to the position of Little Flag Master." ”
Xu Daoyun said modestly: "It was the commander who took care of the adults, so that I succeeded in my abuse." ”
Chen Ning pursed her lips and chuckled, instructed someone to serve wine and food, and then asked Xu Daoyun, "Junior Brother Daoyun, can you find the flying sword in your hand?"
Xu Daoyun shook his head, "Not yet, sword cultivation is already scarce, and there are not many treasures such as flying swords, and so many things have happened these days, I really don't have time to look for it." ”
Chen Ning nodded and agreed: "That's right, in this world, there are too few people who use swords, junior brother Daoyun, why did you choose the path of sword cultivation in the first place?"
Xu Daoyun said: "I haven't practiced martial arts since I was a child, I followed my master to practice after I met him, he himself is a sword cultivator, of course I also followed him to learn swords, and he introduced the sword cultivation avenue and became a sword cultivator." ”
Chen Ning said: "I see, but it's okay, although flying swords are scarce, there will be a day when you can get them, and when you step into the Qi Gathering Realm, you will definitely be able to get a satisfactory flying sword." ”
Xu Daoyunqi said: "Sister Chen Ning, why are you so sure?"
"Junior Brother Daoyun, I don't know, all monks who enter the Qi Gathering Realm can refine their natal magic weapon at the dantian, and the magic weapon cultivated by the sword is the flying sword, which fits with itself, can be retracted and released at will, and the mystery is endless. ”
Xu Daoyun's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Naturally it's true, can Sister Chen Ning still deceive you?"
"Great, it's just that the Qi Gathering Realm is too far away for me, and I don't know how many years it will take to reach that realm. ”
Chen Ning said with a smile: "Although the road is far away, it is coming, although it is difficult to do, it will be done, Daoyun's junior brother is extremely talented and blessed, and his achievements in the future will definitely be not small, don't forget to pull Sister Chen Ning at that time." ”
"Although the road is far away, it is coming, and although it is difficult to do, it will be done. Xu Daoyun repeated this sentence, his heart dissipated, and he nodded heavily: "Sister Chen Ning, don't worry, I will remember your kindness." ”
"If you are kind or not, let's talk about it later, now let's settle the wine and meat money first. Chen Ning said, stretched out his hand, hooked his red lips, and looked cunning.
Xu Daoyun smiled bitterly and had to pay the bill.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the three of them said goodbye and left, left Qingping County, and returned to Wunan Peak.
Three days later, at a quarter past noon, Shen Hongliang suddenly summoned Xu Daoyun, Tie Niu, Zhao Sijie, and Han Chengzhi to the conference hall.
There were two people sitting on the top of the first place, it was Shen Hongliang and Xie Siyuan, the former put down the teacup and said: "There is an existing matter, I want to listen to your own opinions and ideas, whether to do it or not, whether to go or not, it is up to you to decide, I will not force it." ”
The four of them looked at each other and said in unison, "Yes." ”
Shen Hongliang stood up and said, "This time the trouble of the water demon in the Sijiang River has attracted the attention of all parties, this is likely to be just the beginning, and there may be more and bigger disasters in the future, so we have to prevent it." Therefore, the Zhongmiao Xuanmen of Qingping Mansion decided to start the selection of 100 schools in advance, and changed the five-year levy to a three-year levy. I'm competing for four places, and you're the best of the younger generation of the Yunwei Division in Qingping County, would you like to go to Qingping Mansion to give it a try?"
Han Chengzhi was overjoyed, and without hesitation, he was the first to bow his hand and said: "It belongs to ...... My subordinates are willing!"
Tie Niu was silent, just waiting for Xu Daoyun to speak.
Zhao Sijie bit his lower lip, thought for a long time, and then said firmly: "My subordinates are willing." ”
Xu Daoyun was still standing in place, as if he was absent-minded, and his soul was out of the world.
Shen Hongliang looked sideways at him and asked with a smile: "Dao Yun, what do you think?" Zhong Miao Xuanmen is a cultivation academy that all monks dream of joining, and it is set up by the Great Xia Dynasty, if you can start penance for three years, it will definitely be of great help, what else is difficult for you?"
Xu Daoyun asked tentatively: "Dare to ask my lord, when you enter the Mystic Xuanmen, can the four of us only choose one Legalist?"
Shen Hongliang was stunned for a moment, turned around and glanced at Xie Zhixian, and said with a smile: "You are quite careful, don't worry, this is not a concern." There will be strict assessments and tests before entry, and you will judge which one you are suitable for, or which ones, and then you will make your own choice. ”
Xu Daoyun suddenly arched his hand and said, "My subordinates are willing." ”
Shen Hongliang said: "The selection of 100 schools of thought will start on the first day of the fifth month of the summer solstice, there are still 35 days away, you wait for the unfinished tasks or internal affairs to be handed over today, and set off on a certain day." ”
Xu Daoyun said: "Wait, my lord, my subordinates still have questions." ”
"Say it. ”
"The subordinates have accumulated a lot of contributions that are useless, I don't know if those contributions are still there when I get to the Yunwei Division of Qingping Mansion?"
Shen Hongliang nodded, "Naturally, you keep the identity jade slip and don't lose it, otherwise it will be quite troublesome to reissue." ”
"Subordinates remember. Xu Daoyun and the others retreated and left.
Xie Siyuan smiled: "This kid, there are quite a lot of problems. ”
Shen Hong said: "It's because he has a lot of eyes, he never suffers losses, he can't afford to be unprofitable, he is really a slippery boy." ”
Outside the conference hall, Xu Daoyun opened his arms and laughed: "I didn't expect everything to go so smoothly, I just came to Qingping County not long ago, and I will leave for Qingping Mansion again, God bless me!"
Zhao Sijie said suddenly: "It turns out that your purpose has always been Qingping Mansion, and your ambition is really big." ”
Xu Daoyun grinned: "If people don't have dreams, what is the difference between them and salted fish?"
Zhao Sijie scolded with a smile: "Crooked." ”
Han Chengzhi saw that the two of them were talking and laughing, he was jealous and jealous in his heart, and said with a sneer on the side: "Then you have to do what you can, what kind of place is Qingping Mansion, outstanding people, treasures and treasures, and heroes gather, if you don't have real talent and real learning, you can only be embarrassed and make people laugh." ”
Xu Daoyun looked at him sideways, not angry, just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe, but it shouldn't be me who is embarrassed." ”
Han Chengzhi snorted coldly: "Hmph, what a big breath, how much ability do you have, dare to boast about this Haikou?"
Xu Daoyun said: "Compared with a master like Mr. Confucian Zizheng, my proud methods are naturally not worth mentioning, but I will definitely not be excluded from the Wonderful Xuanmen." ”
"Why?"
"Because I'm self-aware. Xu Daoyun laughed, leaned back and fell back with laughter, and gradually walked away from Tie Niu.
Han Chengzhi scolded in a low voice: "Crazy!"
Then he turned to Zhao Sijie, the gloom on his face disappeared, replaced by a sunny smile, and said politely: "Lord Zhao Qi, the road to Qingping Mansion is far away, there are many lofty mountains, rivers and lakes, and it is very dangerous. Why don't we go together and take care of each other, what do you think?"
Zhao Sijie glanced at him and asked rhetorically, "Why don't you go with them, but you prefer to be with me?"
"This..."Han Chengzhi was speechless, and all explanations seemed pale at this time, and he stood in place, speechless.
Zhao Sijie didn't say anything more, turned around and left.
Han Chengzhi gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Xu Daoyun!"
......
Xu Daoyun called Zhu Bo, and the three of them went to the Drunken Immortal Building to eat and drink.
At the wine table, Zhu Bo's cheeks were drunk, he burped, and said, "This time, I don't know when we will see each other again." ”
Xu Daoyun said: "Brother Zhu doesn't have to be sad, he can finally meet again." Besides, Qingping Mansion is not the end of the world, the day of reunion can be expected, if you want me, come to Qingping Mansion to find me, let's drink again!"
Zhu Bo smiled: "Who is sad, I mean, if you leave, no one will invite me to drink wine that doesn't cost money, it's a pity." ”
Xu Daoyun scolded for being unkind and asked Zhu Bo to punish three bowls of wine.
After three bowls, Zhu Bo's head slammed on the table and he fell asleep.
Xu Daoyun smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhu, fortunately I know where you live, otherwise I would have to ask you to live in a house that doesn't cost you money tonight." ”
Tie Niu smiled and didn't say a word.
At this time, Chen Ning came up from the stairs with three pots of drunken immortal brew.
Xu Daoyun said: "Sister Chen Ning, what is this?"
Chen Ning smiled and said: "You call me sister, you are leaving, how can you not give gifts when you are a sister? These three pots of drunken immortal brew can be regarded as practicing for you." ”
"Thank you, Sister Chen Ning. Xu Daoyun was moved in his heart.
Chen Ning said: "Qingping Mansion is not as good as Qingping County, it is a place where really capable people gather, after you arrive, if you encounter something that does not go your way, you must not be rash." ”
"Understood. Xu Daoyun nodded.
After eating and drinking, Xu Daoyun carried Zhu Bo on his back, left the Drunken Immortal Building with Tie Niu, sent Zhu Bo back to the house where he lived, and then returned to his courtyard.
After Xu Daoyun washed up, he lit the candle and took the stick holder and the gold stick and played with it in the firelight.
Signs, since ancient times, have been used by warlocks for divination, whether it is Buddhism, Taoism, or folk temples, will use signs. Previously, Mrs. Fengxian said that if you want to know the mystery of this sign, you need to be familiar with Taoist classics, as well as learn Qimen gossip and astrological divination.
Xu Daoyun hesitated again and again, and finally decided to join the Taoist, after all, he was a cultivator and had a relationship with the Tao. Although Buddhism and Yin-Yang also have the ability to divination and deduction, it is impossible for him to cut his hair and become a monk, as for the Yin-Yang family, Xu Daoyun is still quite interested, but unfortunately one person cannot enter two families at the same time.
......
On the second day, Xu Daoyun was ready to go, and went to the council hall with Tie Niu to bid farewell to Shen Hongliang, and then went to the stable to take two extremely tall horses, and went east along the official road avenue.
Xu Daoyun asked while drinking: "Tie Niu, have you been to the place to the east of Qingping County?"
Tie Niu shook his head, "I haven't been." ”
Xu Daoyun smiled: "The same, I have never been here." ”
Tie Niu asked, "Where is the eldest brother from?"
"I was born in the Xu family in Quwo County, and I can't tell where I am, but it's far from here. To tell you the truth, after I apprenticed, the master took me to Canglangtai to practice swords for seven days, and then sent me to Sanshen Mountain, which was the first place I went to after coming down the mountain. ”
Tie Niu said with a smile: "Big brother is chivalrous, Tie Niu admires." ”
Xu Daoyun joked: "How can you learn to slap horses, I thought this was Brother Zhu's specialty, could it be that the one who is close to Zhu is red and the one who is close to ink is black, and he has two meals of wine with him, and he has been spoiled?"
Tie Niu said seriously: "There is no whisker to shoot the horse, what Tie Niu said is the truth, the eldest brother is chivalrous and courageous, which is indeed admirable." ”
"Truth?"
"It's true. ”
Xu Daoyun laughed, and threw the wine gourd filled with the peach blossoms of the Wind Chime Valley to him, "No, this is a good wine, try it." ”
