Although he didn't have the opportunity to enter the Seven Great Sects, Mu Chen was not discouraged.

In the future, he must go to the Five Elements Heaven, because he has to go to the secret realm of the Five Elements Heaven.

But now he must use the first-class sect to improve his strength as soon as possible, the closest vassal state to the Tianxuan Kingdom is the Izumo Kingdom, among the seven affiliated vassal states of the Nebula Empire, the Izumo Kingdom is the strongest vassal state, so Mu Chen decided to give up the near and far, and find a way to enter the first-class sect of the Izumo Kingdom, the big sect has a foundation, with his current cultivation, there is no point in acting as a loose cultivator at all, and joining the sect is the best choice.

Mu Chen out of the Nishizawa Plain, passing by a big river, this river starts in Izumo country, ends in Tianxuan country, named Yuqing River, at the ferry of Yuqing River, there is an old man is holding a fishing rod, sitting there fishing, now it is the middle of winter, such a cold weather fishing, it is really quite alternative, he slowly walked towards the ferry, when he walked to the old man, this is clear, the old man is wearing a white robe, he is close to the old, full of energy, his eyes are clear, but his height is less than one meter five, and he said loudly: "Boat family, the boat here goes--"

Before he could finish his sentence, the old man made a gesture to stop speaking.

Mu Chen didn't say anything when he saw this, but he didn't leave.

Because if you want to go to Izumo Country, it is most convenient to take the waterway, and there is only this ferry nearby, so he has to guard here anyway, but the old man's temper seems to be a little strange, and the aura on this old man's body is extremely strange, so he is slightly unpredictable, he is waiting patiently here, he is not in a hurry, he takes out a jar of heart-burning flame from the Yuan Ring and drinks it alone.

The aroma of the Burning Heart Flame wine is strong, the taste is mellow, although it is full of strength, but it has an endless aftertaste.

I don't know why, drinking wine, an inexplicable sense of loneliness instantly enveloped Mu Chen's heart, that is a kind of loneliness at the end of the world where is my family, the strong should not be lonely, but this feeling is very strong, it is difficult to control at all, the mood is inexplicably a little irritable, he directly drank the jar of heart-burning flames, a fire seemed to burn in his heart, making his whole face become extremely red, and gradually this burning sensation disappeared, and Mu Chen's expression also returned to calm.

This heart-burning flame has ten tastes and ten flavors, and tastes the differences in life, which is really a good wine.

The old man didn't pay any attention to Mu Chen, but still locked his gaze on his fishing rod.

The concentration is as if you are in a no-man's land.

Mu Chen drank two jars of heart-burning inflammation in a row, but the old man didn't seem to have the meaning of ending, he was still as steady as Mount Tai, which made him frown slightly, but he didn't say anything, he had been waiting for so long, and it was not bad for this time, time passed minute by minute, the sun in the sky had been blinded by dark clouds, the cold wind began to wreak havoc, and at the right time snowflakes began to float in the sky.

A heavy snow came, but the old man did not move.

It's an interesting old man, Mu Chen actually showed a little appreciation from the original puzzlement, because just now he used his soul power to perceive, and found that this old man fished without a hook?

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the old man's body was already covered in snow.

However, no matter how Mu Chen perceived it, he couldn't sense that the old man was a martial artist, and he was not a martial artist, so why didn't the snow touch his body? There are no longer a few mortals in the Kyushu Continent, but he doesn't think that this old man is a mortal.

"It's coming!"

The old man's voice suddenly sounded, and then he suddenly lifted the fishing rod.

A black fish weighing about three catties was really dropped by this old man, seeing this scene, Mu Chen's face showed a little interesting, he stood up and said: "Boat family, your fishing is different, there is a Taigong fishing in ancient times, but it falls off the hook, but you don't use a hook to fish, it is really rare." ”

"In the whole world, there are no wonders. The old man said.

"Yes, too. Mu Chen nodded.

"Young man, you have wine, I have meat, this day is freezing and the snow is falling, why don't you and me heat up a pot of wine and have fun drinking?" The old man looked at Mu Chen with a smile, Mu Chen smiled and said, "Boatman, my wine is good wine, not everyone can drink it." ”

"Your wine is good wine, and my meat is not necessarily bad, Xuanjin mullet has no wisdom, but it is an extremely difficult delicacy to find, and it is not too much to say that it has a price. The old man boasted to himself, but the expression on his face was extremely leisurely, Mu Chen didn't continue to be more serious when he heard this, and nodded with a smile: "Meat is good meat, and wine is also good wine, it is such a match, if you don't drink it, wouldn't it be a pity." ”

"That's very good. ”

The old man nodded, and then beckoned Mu Chen to get on the boat, there was a stove on the boat, and it was just right to warm wine and cook.

And the old man seems to be very good at eating, he skillfully cut the Xuanjin mullet into slices, only used extreme time to cook a delicacy, put the burning flame on the stove, the two sat opposite each other to the stove, the old man became good at talking at the moment, he looked at Mu Chen with a smile, and said loudly: "Where are you going, young man?"

"I'm from Qingyun City, and Izumo Province is going to Izumo Province. Mu Chen said bluntly.

The old man nodded and continued: "I see that the young man has a good temperament, he must be a martial arts cultivator, yesterday I heard that the Seven Great Sects are now holding a ceremony to accept apprentices in the Xize Plain, not far away, where are you from, young man." ”

"Exactly. ”

"Failed the assessment?" the old man asked rhetorically.

"If you don't fail, you can't be considered a failure, and if you offend someone who shouldn't be offended, no matter how good your grades are, it's useless. ”

"It seems that you are in a very bad mood at the moment, come on, although the old man is a mortal, but he has always lived to the age of antiquity, and his experience is always much richer than that of your junior, maybe he can give some good advice. The old man looked at Mu Chen with a smile, the burning heat on the stove was already hot, and the whole boat was filled with a strong aroma of wine, which was intoxicating and pleasant.

"There's nothing to say, living under the rules, even if you don't want to follow the rules, but you have to bow your head, it's so simple. ”

Mu Chen said lightly, after speaking, he scooped a bowl of wine for himself with a porcelain bowl, and drank it in one gulp, the rules set by the seven major sects, he tried to break it was regarded as a sinner who insulted the seven major sects, if he didn't break it, he felt aggrieved, but he was not stupid enough to really violate the bottom line of the seven major sects, after all, it is better to die than to live, as long as he can live, his bottom line is the bottom line, and his rules are the rules.

"You already understand the essence of the matter, why are you still sullen?" the old man asked rhetorically.

"It's because it's hard to change because of understanding, so it's a bit of a blockage. Mu Chen said with a smile.

"Hehe, you idiot, you obviously know the essence of the matter, and you know that the more you dig deeper, the more you will be blocked, why don't you try to let go. The old man took a sip of heartburn from the bowl, then frowned slightly, and then stretched out for a moment to reveal a knowing smile, "It is indeed a rare good wine." ”

"Naturally, this wine should only be in the sky, how many times can the world drink it?" Mu Chen said with a smile.

Speaking of this, he picked up a piece of Xuanjin mullet and put it in his mouth, and the delicious taste instantly spread in his mouth, he couldn't help but nod and praise, "This meat is also rare and delicious, good wine and food, it is really a perfect match." ”

"Count you kid with vision. The old man replied happily.

Mu Chen nodded, he poured another bowl of heartburn, drank it in one gulp, looked at the sunset that was about to set, and said, "Boat family, can you send me to Izumo Country today?"

"Did you go to Izumo Province to worship the sect? ”

Mu Chen looked back at the old man, and finally nodded.

"It's because you offended someone who shouldn't have offended that you couldn't enter the sect, why don't you try it again, maybe there will be a turnaround. The old man continued, and Mu Chen shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Hehe, it's just a sect, it's not such a great place, if I want to go, I can't leave the ends of the earth, if I don't want to go, I don't bother to go in ten steps." ”

"Looks like you've made up your mind?" asked the old man.

"Yes. Mu Chen took another sip of heartburn, but the old man stood up slowly at this moment, and said: "I am not familiar with the other sects of the Seven Great Sects, but when it comes to the Five Elements Heaven and me, there was once an old man who ate the Xuanjin Mullet I made with his own hands, for which he promised me one thing, as long as there is a need in the future, he will definitely help me with this, and now if you really want to worship the Five Elements Heaven, my old man can help deal with this matter." ”

"Eh, there is such a thing?" Mu Chen asked rhetorically.

"I always say the same thing when I say and do things, and I don't fake what I say. The old man nodded affirmatively.

Mu Chen showed a look of hesitation, Wuxing Tian was exactly the place he was looking forward to, there was the secret of his rapid entry into the Star Pill Realm, so it was false to say that he was not moved, thinking of this, he turned his gaze to the old man: "Why do you want to help me." ”

"It's pleasing to the eye. ”

"That's all?" Mu Chen asked rhetorically.

"That's all, I've always done whatever I wanted. The old man said lightly.

"If you help me with this, how can I repay you?" Mu Chen asked rhetorically.

"You don't have to repay it, it's not a bad thing to give a good fate, but if you really want to repay me, when you have nothing to do, come to the ferry to find the old man and drink two sips of wine, people are old, the body is useless, and this hobby is drinking, but a person is too lonely, if someone is with him, it is naturally a good thing. The old man looked at Mu Chen with a smile, looking extremely pleasant, but Mu Chen nodded when he heard this, he looked at the old man carefully, and his eyebrows showed a look of understanding.

"If you say so, I will never refuse. ”

"Go, take this thing and go to the Five Elements Heaven to find a guy called Guigu, that guy will naturally arrange your place when he sees this thing. The old man threw Mu Chen a jade plaque, and waved his hand to signal him to leave, "Eh, I'm really old, I feel a little drunk after drinking these two bowls of wine, and it's really useless." ”

Mu Chen didn't speak, hugged his fist at the old man, turned around and walked in the direction of the Five Elements Heaven.
