"What else do you know about Shennongtang?" , Zhan Xiu asked at Su Botong.

"I know this, the inner hall of Shennong Hall is extremely mysterious, and few people have seen the disciples of the inner hall, and there is a possibility that they don't know that it is the first son of the inner hall", Xu Botong said softly with his eyes open.

"Aren't you Misumen a gang that claims to be as famous as Shennong Tang, I don't think there are many core disciples, and there are not many disciples in the inner hall of the Shennong Gang", Zhan Xiu naturally thought of this and asked casually.

"Hee-hee," Xu Botong chuckled before saying

"That's right, the number of our disciples is a bit small, but the secret beard sect has always received few disciples, and in addition, they rarely participate in secular affairs, so it's normal to have a little less."

Zhan Xiu was originally an unintentional question, but when he heard Su Botong's explanation, he became interested

"No, it's known as one of the four major gangs, the Misu Gate, with such a few disciples, then I think you are all very capable."

When Su Botong heard Zhan Xiu say this, his face turned slightly red, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't know."

"What kind of weapon did your senior sister use?" , Zhan Xiu suddenly thought of the somewhat weird wave drum in Su Botong's hand, and was a little curious about the style of this secret beard.

Su Botong was obviously stunned, he didn't understand why Zhan Xiu asked this, thought about it and then said, "Senior sister uses a bell."

After speaking, he glanced at Zhan Xiu with suspicion, and his eyes were quite playful.

Zhan Xiu could see that he suspected that he had some dirty thoughts after remembering that bewitching woman, and he couldn't help but be secretly amused in his heart

However, Zhan Xiu did not explain.

From this point of view, the kung fu of the Misu Gate is only afraid of occupying a strange word, the number of people is small, but the way of fighting is a little weird, so it also has a place in the four major gangs, but this is just Zhan Xiu's own guess.

Zhan Xiu turned to ask Qu Sandao, who had been stunned all the time, "What does Shennongtang look like in the eyes of ordinary people?" Why did you want to go to Shennong Hall in the first place? ”

Qu San only clearly knew the identity of Su Botong when he heard the conversation between the two of them before, so he kept staring at Su Botong with wide eyes, as if it was hard to believe that such a delicate girl was actually a disciple of the Misumen among the four major gangs, and listening to the tone, it was obviously that kind of core disciple, so he couldn't help but show a shocked look on his face.

At this time, hearing Zhan Xiu's question, he hurriedly retracted his gaze and said:

"Shennongtang has a good reputation in the eyes of ordinary people, and that's what I went to at the beginning", after a pause, he said:

"And it is said that there are many kung fu in Shennongtang that can be practiced by disciples of the outer hall, which is particularly attractive to people who join Shennongtang."

Zhan Xiu was stunned when he heard this: "You can make it clear, why does Shennongtang have a good reputation?" ”

Qu San replied without thinking: "Because there is a soup kitchen, I am hungry for a meal these years, and someone gives porridge for free, so I naturally have a good reputation."

"Hmm", just when Zhan Xiu hadn't asked in detail, Su Botong also said on the side:

"It is rumored that the purpose of the gang in Shennongtang is to learn from Shennong and taste herbs and save people from suffering, and it is indeed very popular among the people, so the ordinary people who sign up for Shennongtang are also the most."

"Then where should I sign up if I want to join Shennongtang?" , Zhan Xiu asked.

Unexpectedly, after asking this, he saw Xu Botong looking at him in surprise with a pair of bright eyes, and even Qu San next to him had a somewhat strange expression.

"What's wrong?" , Zhan Xiu was puzzled.

……

When they arrived at the local exhibition, they finally knew why Su Botong and Qu San were surprised, not only because Shennongtang occupied a large enough place, but also because there were too many people going there, and the place to sign up was at the soup kitchen.

The next day was exactly the beginning of the month, when Zhan Xiu took Su Botong and Qu San to the place where Shennongtang gave porridge, he saw the long queue lined up on the street, although there were not many hungry people in Xiqi City, but there were many of them, and they crowded in the soup kitchen early in the morning to wait in line.

Zhan Xiu naturally didn't go to the queue to get the porridge, and watched from afar. After a while, the bronze bell on the eaves of the soup kitchen was struck, and the people in line began to be a little chaotic, pushing and shoving.

At this time, I saw a man in blue clothes with half an arm walking up to the front of the crowd and shouting: "Everyone be quiet, don't worry, I promise everyone that everyone who came today has porridge to drink, I hope everyone will keep order and not chaos"

As soon as everyone heard this, they quieted down a little, licking their dry lips and looking ahead expectantly.

Two stout men came out of the shop carrying a large bucket of gruel and began to distribute them one by one

"Next"

"Alright, next"

"It's OK, let's go next"

……

Seeing this scene, Zhan Xiu's heart suddenly had an indescribable feeling, and in a trance, he seemed to have returned to a certain scene in the past, and he was silent for a long time.

Xu Botong and Qu San next to him were very surprised, and looked at Zhan Xiu with strange eyes from time to time, but they saw that Zhan Xiu's face was not quite right, so they didn't dare to say anything.

Until all the porridge was distributed, sure enough, as the blue-clothed man said before, everyone was given a spoonful, although there were still people who wanted to receive more, but they were driven back by the sharp-eyed Shennongtang disciples, and they were finally distributed.

At this time, the man in blue shouted loudly again: "At the beginning of each month, we will start recruiting disciples from the outer hall of Shennong Hall as usual, and those who want to join Shennong Hall will come here to sign up."

Suddenly, the crowd changed direction again, and rushed to the place where the man in blue was, and the man in blue had no choice but to maintain order again.

Qu San looked at the noisy crowd, and then looked at Zhan Xiu, who had been silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"Master, shall we go to the queue now?"

Zhan Xiu suddenly woke up from his memories when he heard Qu San's question, shook his head and said, "Wait."

It was several hours to wait, and when it was almost noon, the people who had queued up to sign up for the participants came out one after another, and their faces were full of disappointment, and seeing this scene, the feeling in Zhan Xiu's heart was even stronger.

It wasn't until everyone was gone and there were no more people who came out that Zhan Xiu beckoned to Qu San and Xu Baitong and said:

"Let's go," he said, striding forward.

Qu San walked a few steps closely, following Zhan Xiu's figure, and couldn't help but ask Zhan Xiu:

"Master, why didn't we go to the queue earlier?"

Zhan Xiu was about to step into the door of the shop, but when he heard Qu San's question, he stopped abruptly, turned around and looked at the pretty face of Su Botong, who also had doubts on his face, smiled slightly self-deprecatingly, and then said in a deep voice:

"I think Shennongtang will probably never accept disciples who are willing to accept alms."

Zhan Xiu's voice was not loud, but as soon as the words fell, he heard someone in the shop clapping his hands and saying:

"Yes, yes, this little brother, you are so right, the truth is exactly that!"
