Chapter 67: The Tao of the First Sect
The next day, the sky returned to dawn.
Chu Xuan rubbed his sour eyes, walked all night without a head, and finally came to a populated place, which seemed to be a city.
However, it is said to be a castle, but in fact there are no walls and gates. As far as the eye can see, there are only countless buildings, some of which are ordinary houses, some of which are street markets, and some of which are huge palaces, which are dotted with many tall towers.
At this time, Chu Xuan's beard was unshaven, his hair was scattered, the clothes on his body were already in tatters, his boots were thrown away, and he was barefoot, and he was called Huazi who asked for food. All over the body, except for a black sword in the body, the iron lump obtained from the black boat, and the jade seal of the Great Zhou Emperor, there were no valuable things.
"If you can't do that, at least find a way to survive first. Chu Xuan said in his heart.
He walked all the way to the market, paying attention to the shops around him, and suddenly saw a pawnshop called 'In and Out', so he walked in.
"Shopkeeper, I want to be something. He walked over to the counter and shouted.
The little second in the store saw his outfit and immediately wanted to drive people away: "Go, go, where is the smell of food, don't smoke my guests." ”
Chu Xuan couldn't, so he had to take out the jade seal in his arms, gently put it on the counter, and said helplessly: "Make a price." ”
The shopkeeper picked up the jade seal with a disdainful face, looked at it for a moment, and found that this stone was indeed good, it was a high-grade spiritual jade.
However, when he saw the inscription below, he couldn't help but ask: "Where did this stone come from? Why is the word 'Emperor's Imperial Use' engraved underneath?"
Chu Xuan said impatiently: "Don't care if I stole it or robbed it, whether you take it or not, if you don't return it." ”
The shopkeeper said: "Accept it naturally, but the origin of your thing is unknown, and we can only pay half of the price." ”
"Okay, half is half. Chu Xuan is in a hurry to use the money now, and he doesn't want to grind with him.
The shopkeeper turned around and entered the back room with the jade seal, saying that he wanted to discuss with the shopkeeper, and only came out after a while, and after some bargaining, he opened ten ingots of red gold for Chu Xuan.
This pawnshop is also really dark, and the jade seal is sold upside down, at least making a net profit of more than 100 times. But Chu Xuan couldn't, knowing that he was cheated by others, he could only take the money and leave.
With ten ingots of gold, Chu Xuan first spent money to find a bathhouse and took a bath happily. I went to the garment shop to make a set of green cloth deep clothes and a pair of cloth shoes. Then he shaved his beard, put on a high bun, and finally looked like a normal person. After that, he went to a restaurant for a full meal. One came and went, and four of the ten ingots of gold had gone.
However, in this process, Chu Xuan also explored the current situation almost completely.
It turned out that this place was a big island far away from the three continents, and its name was Chongsheng. Chongsheng Island is so big that it is almost worth half of the Zhou country, and there are hundreds of thousands of residents on the island, but it does not belong to any country, and only belongs to two sects, one is called Dao Yi Zong, and the other is called Daowu Sect.
Speaking of which, the Dao Sect and the Dao Wu Sect were the same sect hundreds of years ago, and they were the Dao Sect. Later, for some reason, the Dao Sect was divided into two, which became the current situation.
The First Dao Sect and the Dao Wu Sect are collectively known as the Second Chongsheng Sect, that is, Nanyuan monks like Chu Xuan are lonely and unheard of, and they don't know anything. Changed to the monks of the other two continents, the name of the two sects of Chongsheng, in terms of thunderous ears and great names, is not too much at all.
The reason why the two sects of Chongsheng are famous is that the cultivation of the two sects is so high that it has reached an unfathomable level, and second, because the requirements for recruiting people on Chongsheng Island are very strict, and the princes and nobles of the Northern and Eastern Yuan dynasties are trying their best to send their children here, so the status of the two sects is becoming more and more prominent.
Monks in the world, if they have the opportunity to practice in the two sects of Chongsheng, even if they don't learn anything, they will be enough to go out and blow for a lifetime.
Knowing these circumstances, Chu Xuan decided that he would get in no matter what, but how could he get in? Chu Xuan hadn't thought of a way for the time being.
It has to be said that the prices on Chongsheng Island are much more expensive than other places. Chu Xuan spent another ingot of gold and rested in a small inn for the night. The next day, he hurried out of the inn without eating anything, intending to try his luck outside.
He asked people all the way, walked all the way, and finally came to the location of the Dao Yi Sect.
To be honest, the Dao Sect is really big, but Chu Xuan can't say how big it is. However, just looking at the giant archway carved from the best spirit jade in front of the sect, Chu Xuan understood the status of the Dao First Sect.
He tentatively approached the archway, but as soon as he passed, he touched a layer of enchantment, and then the whole person was bounced back, and he almost didn't fall to the ground.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? ”
Finding that someone had touched the enchantment, several disciples of the Dao Yi Sect immediately flew out of it with wooden swords in their hands and fluttering long clothes, and questioned loudly.
Chu Xuan hurriedly said: "In Xia Lin Xuan, I have come from thousands of miles away, hoping to join your sect and become a disciple of your sect." ”
Hearing this, several disciples laughed: "Where did you come from, is it so easy to enter a sect when I am a sect? Not to mention how much ability you have, even if you are really qualified to join our sect, it is now past the time to accept disciples." You'd better come back in the first month of next year. ”
Chu Xuan said again: "Do you have to wait until next year?
One of the disciples said: "Yes, yes, but only for the children of the royal family of the Northern Yuan and Eastern Yuan, looking at your poor and sour appearance, could it be that you are a nobleman of which country?"
Chu Xuan said secretly, he couldn't imagine that even a place like the Second Sect of Chongsheng would pay attention to his background and resume. I am a down-and-out son of Nanyuan, and I don't think I am qualified to ask the other party to be admitted exceptionally.
However, he still did not give up: "A few brothers, can you help, I want to join your sect, even if I can't become a disciple, I can be a handyman, sweep the floor, chop wood." ”
"No, no, even if there is, we can't help, we're just the lowest-ranking disciples of the Dao Sect. ”
As the disciples spoke, they wanted to drive him away. At this time, I suddenly saw a woman in white walking slowly from a distance.
"What happened?"
The woman was tall and tall, and although her appearance was not stunning, she also had a lovely style, and her voice was very sweet, which made people feel more and more favorable.
Chu Xuan heard it in his ears and said in his heart, this voice is probably only Zhen Rumeng can compete. Thinking with his big toes, he could also guess that the identity of this woman must not be simple, so he opened his mouth and shouted: Sister Immortal, I am here to join your sect, can I ......?"
The woman in white heard him call herself a fairy sister, although her heart was useful, her face was crimson, and she reprimanded: "Flamboy, you and I don't know each other, why do you call me sister for no reason?"
Chu Xuan listened to her tone, and didn't seem to reject herself, and when she opened her mouth, she said happily: "Sister's eyebrows are like freshly cut thin leaves, her eyes are like thawing clear waves, her nose is like agar and beautiful jade, and her lips are ruddy cherries." The green silk shawl is like a high-grade silk satin, and the thin waist can be held, just like the pavilion willow. The hand is like peeling the green onion root, the neck is like a white swan, the end is the natural beauty, looking forward to the posture, the group is bleak, and the geese are sinking the fish. This beauty should only exist in heaven, and how many times can the world meet!"
Chu Xuan finished his words in one breath, almost exhausting himself, but he still resisted the urge to pant so as not to be embarrassed.
The disciples of the Dao Yi Sect on the side were all dumbfounded when they heard it at this time. It turns out that praising people can be so shameless?
The woman in white was even more red, as if she was drunk, she had grown so big, it was the first time someone had praised herself like this. However, after hesitating for a long time, she still refused: "Little brother, the Tao sect has rules, and it will not accept disciples until the time is over." ”
Chu Xuan said: "It's okay, let me be a handyman." ”
The woman smiled and said, "It's okay, I can arrange it for you." ”
Sure enough, the sweet-mouthed man will not be unlucky. In this way, Chu Xuan successfully infiltrated the Dao Sect.
