Chapter 20: A Shocking Change
The Wuchen Sect is divided into five halls, led by a hall master with dozens of elderly brothers, a hundred teenagers, hundreds of ordinary sect members, and a deputy hall master under the hall master.
The five halls surround the "Juxian Peak" and are stationed in five different directions, and Tianfu Hall is on the left side of the "Juxian Peak".
Each hall owner was equipped with a luxury car, and he drove over two hillsides to the location of Tianfu Hall.
A 3-meter-high boulder stands at the entrance of Tianfu Hall, engraved with three vermilion characters of "Tianfu Hall".
The place where the head of the church lives is on the top of the slope, and the houses where the other parishioners live are scattered around the slope, irregular, and the buildings are all antique, half-hidden in the dense woods, exquisite and very pleasant.
Although the hall master's residence is also magnificent, it is nothing compared to the palace-like building of the sect master.
Xiao Yuxi admired the scenery, and was very curious, what kind of business did the Wuchen Sect do, and it was so rich in life?
Along the way, I met many sect members under the Tianfu Hall, and when I saw Hou Menjie, they all stood on the side of the road and saluted, and when I saw Xiao Yuxie, his face was full of curiosity, and there were many discussions. Hou Menjie just rolled down the window, but didn't stop to say hello.
When he reached the top of the slope, Xiao Yuxi found that there was a row of independent houses on the right side of the slope, and the line of sight on the road was limited, so he didn't see it.
Xiao Yuxie pointed to the row of houses that were not too small and said, "Brother Hou, where does that live?" ”
Hou Menjie suddenly sank his face and said lightly: "That's where the deputy hall master Lu Feng lives. ”
Xiao Yuxi frowned, why did this person suddenly change his face? Didn't you do anything that upset him? Most of them are not on good terms with the deputy hall master.
Hou Menjie asked Xiao Yuxi to sit down in the hall, and his own congregation offered tea, called two congregants, ordered to prepare a wine banquet, prepare hot water for Xiao Yuxie to bathe, and asked to find a few sets of new clothes that fit Xiao Yuxie.
After chatting for a while, Hou Menjie said: "Brother, since you are about to join the church, I think it is better to put on a wig for your brother?" It won't look so unsociable either. ”
Xiao Yuxi smiled: "Brother Hou is thoughtful, I almost forgot about it." My little brother also has this meaning, or others will treat me as a monster. ”
At this time, a teenager came in to pour tea, and Hou Menjie said, "Yang Fan, cut off your hair." ”
Yang Fan was startled, the teapot in his hand was almost unsteady, and he touched the long hair behind his back with one hand, and exclaimed: "The main subordinate of the hall is ...... Subordinate ...... Cut your hair? ”
Hou Menjie glared and said, "What? Don't want to? ”
Xiao Yuxie was secretly surprised, it seemed that the sect leader and his wife had quite a prejudice against the old brothers, and the old brothers also had a deep prejudice against these young sect members.
Yang Fan's eyes flashed with tears, and he snorted: "The subordinates don't mean this, the subordinates ......."
Xiao Yuxi said with a smile: "Brother Hou, the body is skinny, the parents who are subject to it, our teachings are the most important, don't embarrass him, you can't buy a wig outside." ”
Hou Menjie said: "How can I buy this thing here?" ”
Xiao Yuxi thought for a while and said, "I wonder if there are any horses here?" If there is one, I will make it with a ponytail, and in order for me to make him feel ashamed of the master, my brother will not be happy. ”
Hou Menjie stroked his palms and smiled: "It's rare for a brother to have such a mind, and I, Hou Menjie, really didn't look at the wrong person." ”
Turning his head to Sun Hongxing, he said, "Go, cut off the tail of my horse, and tie a wig for Brother Xiao later." ”
Yang Fan looked at Xiao Yujie with gratitude and surprise, as if he felt that Xiao Yujie called Hou Menjie "big brother", and Hou Menjie was so good to him It was incredible, he agreed, and flew away, as if he was afraid that Hou Menjie would suddenly change his mind.
Xiao Yuxi suddenly remembered something and said, "Although the Innocent Island is big, the terrain is extremely complicated, how can there be horses?" ”
Hou Menjie said: "There are only a few horses on the island, and these horses are all mounts when we used to walk the rivers and lakes in Mobei, and because we had feelings, we brought them back." ”
He let out a long sigh, his expression became gloomy, and he said gloomily, "But they shouldn't have been brought back back back then, so where could they be useful here?" It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity! ”
It is indeed strange and pitiful to think of a thousand-mile horse, trapped on such an island where it is difficult to find a piece of flat land.
Hou Menjie seems to be borrowing a horse to talk about himself, saying that he has not set foot in the mainland for a long time, and like a horse, he will eventually die of old age here.
Xiao Yuxi was suddenly shocked: "Tu Hongtian, don't trap me on the island, don't allow Lao Tzu to go back to the mainland, so what's the fun in this life?" ”
Xiao Yuxi gasped, and only after a long time did he let out a long sigh and said, "Brother Hou, your beloved horse, how can I ...... I'd better wait for the hair to grow on its own. ”
Hou Menjie sighed, waved his hand and said, "Hey, don't talk about this." ”
At this moment, a teenager came in to report that the hot water and clothes were ready.
Hou Menjie nodded, got up and said with a smile: "Brother, you just wash well, and ask all the old brothers tonight to see how much you drink?" ”
Xiao Yuxi smiled and said, "Brother Hou, you want to see your little brother make a fool of yourself." ”
******
There were bursts of water vapor in the huge wooden barrel, Xiao Yuxi touched the temperature of the water, just right for this moment, there is nothing more tempting than this bucket of bath water.
Xiao Yuxie took off his already dirty shirt, put it on his nose and smelled it, a pungent sour smell suddenly made him frown, and threw it on the ground.
Xiao Yuxi hummed a little song, jumped into the barrel, and buried his head in the water.
In the absence of a trace of air, his mind became extremely sharp, and he suddenly found that his skin was finer, and the calluses that had been worn out on his hands were gone.
Emerging from the water, looking around, there was a mirror not far away, Xiao Yuxi couldn't wait to jump over, and the self in the mirror startled him again.
Xiao Yuxie looked left and right and still couldn't believe it, and pinched it on his face with his hand, and his painful expression in the mirror made him believe that all this was true - he had become younger!
It was a very young face, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, exactly like myself ten years ago, with no wrinkles on his face.
Xiao Yuxi returned to the water as if he had lost his soul, why did this happen? No wonder the sect leader's wife, Zhang Ruoyu, would call him a child.
In the past few days since I got on the ship, I didn't expect my appearance to change so much, and I don't know what will become of it in the future?
Xiao Yuxi didn't know whether to be happy or sad, but felt empty in his heart.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Xiao Yuxi muttered: "God, God, your old man made me like this, do you mean that I want to leave everything before and start over here?" ”
It wasn't until the water had become cold that Xiao Yuxi hurriedly rubbed the dirt on his body a few times and hurriedly washed it.
On the stool next to it, there is a new set of snow-white clothes, which fits just right on the body, and I have never worn a costume, which feels very strange.
