Chapter 108: The Trap of Yudan
"What are they coming to me for?"
Xu Xian heard the servant's report and was a little confused for a while.
His secluded life is very comfortable, he usually doesn't go out at all, only two servants and a maid are doing the daily maintenance of the courtyard, and they are still on duty.
However, at this time, the servant came to report, and someone from the Foreign Affairs Hall came to visit.
The servant naturally couldn't answer Xu Xian's question, and he didn't bother too much, waved his hand to signal the servant to leave, and then got up and went to the door.
It's not that Xu Xian has much respect for the people in the Outer Affairs Hall and plans to go out to greet them, but he doesn't plan to let people in at all.
......
Outside Xu Xian's courtyard, two Taoists were standing at the door, one looking relaxed, and the other was a little nervous.
"Senior Brother Zhang, I'll leave it to you this time, I heard that this Senior Brother Xu doesn't have a good temper...... " said the somewhat nervous Taoist.
This person was one of the few people around Lei Zhengting, and after some inquiry, he specially chose this Senior Brother Zhang.
To get through the joints of the Foreign Affairs Palace, it is not difficult to assign Xu Xian an outing task, this kind of thing can be done by many people, and there is no risk.
Because although Xu Xian is famous, he has not heard that he has an upper-level background in the Daomen, so it is difficult to find out who is secretly obstructing him.
However, it is not so easy to find this Senior Brother Zhang to come forward, most of them are urging Xu Xian to carry out the task, and they choose to refuse without saying a word, and by the way, they also replied with a "Are you sick" look.
Fortunately, no matter how famous a person is, there will be guys he doesn't know, and Senior Brother Zhang hasn't heard of Xu Xian, but he doesn't know that he is in the Foreign Affairs Palace, and he thinks it's just the same name.
If you want to say that there are people who know Xu Xian's appearance, there are too few.
"It doesn't matter. Senior Brother Zhang waved his hand and said, "It's just a new disciple, and it's an obligation to go out and station, so how can he object?"
The Taoist on the side just smiled and didn't speak, at this time, it was better to let Senior Brother Zhang guess by himself.
In order to try their best to cover it up, they even made some small tricks with Xu Xian's information, hiding the part from the human world, so as not to think of anything to Senior Brother Zhang.
Of course, their actions are very careful, they only hide and do not fabricate, in case it is more true in the future, it is also Senior Brother Zhang's own lack of attention, and it has nothing to do with others.
As the two were talking, Xu Xian's figure had already appeared from the front, and only from his appearance, he really couldn't see anything unusual about him.
"There's something to talk about. Xu Xian's gaze swept over the two, and he didn't bother to ask who they were, so he said directly.
Senior Brother Zhang was slightly stunned, there are many monks who are not good at socializing, but it is rare to be good at this level.
He cleared his throat, didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "Senior Brother Xu, I'm here to inform you that the Foreign Affairs Hall has just sent you a garrison mission, please be sure to go to Damian City within three days." ”
"Got it. ”
Xu Xian didn't even pause, he responded quickly, and then looked at the two of them: "Anything else?"
"Uh...... Without. Senior Brother Zhang didn't know what else he should say, but when the words came, the other party agreed, so he really should go.
But why is it so much like an errand runner? Isn't it normal to be invited in for a cup of tea, to inquire about the situation at the garrison, or something?
Young people nowadays are really rude......
Looking at Xu Xian's back as he quickly turned to leave, and the door that was casually closed, Senior Brother Zhang didn't look very satisfied.
The Taoist next to him breathed a sigh of relief, but Xu Xian was so easy to speak, which was really unexpected to him, and it also made him feel inexplicably uneasy.
......
The facts quickly proved that his worries were right, because after three days passed, Xu Xian had no intention of going out at all, and still stayed at home with peace of mind.
"What the hell is going on?!Didn't you say that he was given a mission? This person really completely ignored the assignment of the Foreign Affairs Palace?"
Lei Zhengting walked around the room irritably, he is not usually an impatient person, but when life is facing a major turning point, anyone is inevitably anxious.
The rumor that Qin Suqiu Zhenren wants to accept apprentices has been spreading in the Daomen for several months, and it is estimated that there will be a result in the near future.
And this opportunity rejected by Xu Xian is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Lei Zhengting, and he is only one opportunity away!
Daomen disciples are in their forties and fifties, and Lei Zhengting, who has been in the Daomen for more than forty years, is actually a disciple of the previous generation.
His strength is not weak, his cultivation is close to the apex of the True Yuan Realm, and he is also quite good at Taoism, he is good at thunder method, and there is no big problem in dealing with people...... All in all, this is a standard Dao disciple.
Lei Zhengting, who has done well in any aspect, is still stuck by a threshold, that is, Jiedan.
Monk knot is a very complex job, which requires not only some luck, but also extremely careful preparation and preparation.
The success rate of ancient monks was less than 30%, but in modern times it has increased to about 60%, which is certainly not because modern people have better luck.
Daomen also provides Jindan-related knowledge and cheats exchange, but ...... Very expensive.
A popular "Jiedan to be Solved" requires at least 200 Dao seals, and the Daomen does not allow disciples to teach it privately, which brings great difficulties to many disciples.
In fact, this kind of pricing is very unreasonable, completely contrary to the principle of cultivating disciples in the Daomen, but in a sense, it is very reasonable because it is the key to the master-apprentice lineage to control the knot.
Jin Dan Zhenren imparts knowledge related to the disciple to the Dan, which is not restricted by the rules of the Daomen, after all, they can say that this is their own perception, not from the Daomen...... There's no way to rip off their heads anyway to verify it.
Lei Zhengting is at such a critical juncture, he has begun to try to tie the Dan, but he can't afford the knowledge, so he has to consider investing in a Jindan real person.
However, Jin Dan Zhenren usually doesn't like to accept disciples like him, because after accepting apprentices, there is no time to cultivate and exchange feelings, and he will soon be married.
Either the knot fails and the road is cut off, or the knot succeeds and is on an equal footing with himself, so what is the meaning of accepting disciples?
Only this time the situation is different, if he can form a Taoist couple with Lian Kite, then Qin Zhenren will naturally be impressed by Lei Zhengting...... It's a pity that there is no drama.
He had no choice but to settle for the second best thing and directly compete for Qin Zhenren's disciples, with his attainments and talent in Lei Fa, only Xu Xian could stabilize him at present.
Unless Qin Zhenren made an exception to choose Puyu from among ordinary disciples, then Lei Zhengting would have nothing to say.
"Senior Brother Lei, the people from the Foreign Affairs Hall have been to Xu Xian's house twice, but they have been turned away by him, and he doesn't see anyone at all now......
After hearing this, Lei Zhengting was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "No way, I'll personally visit this Senior Brother Xu." Top tier
