Chapter 4 Getting Started (Asking for Red Tickets and Collections)
"A certain is the eldest disciple of the Sword Transformation Pavilion, and it is a certain junior disciple Gao Jian who went out just now. You and the other five are the passers of the museum's recruitment of disciples this time, but I don't know if you want to be the doorman of the museum, or are you disciples? After Qingsheng finished speaking, he stopped speaking and looked at Xu Mo and the others.
Doorman? Disciple? Xu Mo was at a loss for a moment, and hurriedly asked a young man in brocade clothes next to him, the difference between a doorman and a disciple. Because they are already fellow swordsmen in the Sword Pavilion, Xu Mo and Dahan's performance just now also made this person deeply admired. The young man in the brocade suit was not as arrogant as the person Xu Mo asked before, but explained in detail to Xu Mo, a dirt bun.
Xu Mo suddenly realized that in this era, the martial arts hall did not accept apprentices like in his real world, but simply recruited students, and the recruited personnel were divided into two types. One is the apprentice who really wants to learn the art, and the other is the doorman with a skill, that is, the diner.
Obviously, once he is accepted as an apprentice, then the martial arts hall must teach true talent and real learning, and with Xu Mo's intelligence, it is very likely that he can learn several high-level sword skills. As for becoming a doorman, maybe there will be some ordinary swordsmanship taught in the museum, but it is impossible to teach the stunts in the museum.
After thinking about it, Xu Mo decided to choose to become a doorman. The moral standards of this era are filial piety, loyalty, respect for teachers, light life, and heavy kindness, once he becomes an introductory disciple of the Sword Pavilion, then his fate must be tied to the Sword Pavilion. If Xu Mo chooses to turn his back on the Sword Pavilion, then in this era, he has no way out except to join the forces of the bandits and bandits, and no sect or country will choose to accept a person who abandons his master and apostates.
The director of the Sword Pavilion once taught Prince Yang Guo's swordsmanship, so he must have the official background of Yang Kingdom, which can be seen from the fact that the Sword Pavilion has received so many rich and noble children in the city. Once Xu Mo tied his fate to the Sword Pavilion, although he could get a lot of benefits, and the main quest could be completed immediately, it was equivalent to losing the opportunity to join other countries.
Judging from the introduction of this world, since this mirror world is called the Fairy Sword Era, the "Fairy Sword Faction" that owns the Feipeng Immortal Sword, and the Jiang Kingdom where the Longyang Prince who is reincarnated by Feipeng is located, these two should be the forces that are most related to the main line of the world and have the most hidden side quests.
In this era, Yang Guo was only a small country, and he was also the sworn enemy of Jiang Guo. No matter what the aspect is, Xu Mo does not intend to join any forces that are officially involved in this country. Even if he couldn't join the Immortal Sword Sect and Jiang Guo in the end, he would at least have to join one of the Five Heroes of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Thinking of this, Xu Mo said to Qingsheng: "I was taught the way of Jiaojiao, although I was not an apprentice, but I had to teach him the art, and I was my teacher." Without the teacher's permission, I didn't dare to vote for another teacher, and I was willing to be a guest in the museum, and when the teacher agreed, I would re-enter the door of the sword. ”
As soon as Xu Mo's words came out, Qingsheng and the other four young men in brocade clothes turned grim. Qingsheng bowed deeply to Xu Mo and said:
"Your Excellency, how can we force it, wait until Your Excellency returns to your hometown and asks for the teacher's permission, and then it is not too late to be a disciple in the hall!"
Xu Mo nodded secretly, his choice was indeed right, people in this era are indeed much more simple and honest than the real world. His words could be heard immediately in the ears of anyone in the real world, but they were just perfunctory, but Qingsheng and the other four young people in brocade clothes were convinced.
After everyone gave an answer, Kyungsheng led everyone to the back of the courtyard. Several people passed through the second atrium at the back of the courtyard and came to the back of the building. This is the residence of the disciples of the Sword Transformation Pavilion, shaped like a narrow quadrangle, and there is a narrow aisle between the house and the atrium, which is shoulder to shoulder, and next to the aisle is a neat row of houses.
The buildings in the hall are limited, and it is impossible to give each person a room, but three of the other four people have their own residences in Qiuchi City. Qingsheng arranged for the remaining one to live with Xu Mo. The room was extremely clean, flanked by a stone bed for two people to rest, the stone bed was made of mud and stones, and some hay was laid on top of it, and two layers of arrowroot cloth were spread on top of the hay as a bedding.
In the middle of the room was a low table with several sides of hay woven into a futon around it, so that the two of them could kneel on it. This low case is almost for the two of them to eat and talk, but there is nothing else in the room. Although compared to the wooden beds and gorgeous furniture used by some rich and noble families, their room can only be said to be simple and simple, but as a residence for the disciples and disciples in the hall, it is quite good.
Qingsheng briefly instructed a few words, and then said goodbye. After Qingsheng went out, the young man in brocade who lived with Xu Mo couldn't hold back his excitement and began to talk to Xu Mo.
"In Xia Yang Yu period, the angle between Brother Nie and Gao Yan just now is really exciting!"
"Brother Yang has won the award, it's just a small skill, I don't know how many sword halls like the Sword Pavilion in Qiu Chi City are there?" Xu Mo asked casually.
"Oh, in terms of the status of the Sword Transformation Pavilion in the city, there are only two or three, although these and some other martial arts halls are also accepting disciples, but there are many disciples in those local pavilions, and ordinary disciples are not taken seriously. However, the Sword Pavilion, although the entry test is more difficult, but once you get started, you will be able to get fax to learn immediately, and after Brother Nie gets the promise of the Lingshi, he can become a disciple, and there is no need to look elsewhere. Yang Yuzhi said sincerely.
"What? Are there many other martial arts halls in the city that are accepting apprentices? Xu Mo was taken aback.
"Yes, during this time, not only is the martial arts hall accepting apprentices, but some of Yang Guo's doctors' mansions are also recruiting diners. Brother Nie may not know that our Yang State is about to raise troops to attack Jiang State. In this time of chaos, the eldest husband is making meritorious contributions and fighting for a wife, even if he can't do so, he can have more skills to wait for the future. Yang Yuzhi said as a matter of course.
After listening to Yang Yuqi's words, Xu Mo could no longer sit in the room, hurriedly ended the conversation with Yang Yuqi, and went out to the city. After inquiring around the city again, Xu Mo slowly walked back in the city with his thoughts.
The various sword halls and martial arts halls in the city are indeed accepting apprentices, and some of the mansions of dignitaries and nobles next to the palace are also recruiting diners with a skill, Xu Mo also found a few people who may be reincarnators among those onlookers.
After entering this world, the space does not give a very specific task other than asking the reincarnation to join a force and country. But obviously, the time point when the reincarnation enters this world is very particular about the space, and it is not chosen randomly, but consciously guides the reincarnated.
From the conscious arrangement and guidance of the space, Xu Mo already had a little realization in his heart. If his analysis is not wrong, then there will inevitably be a follow-up behind this arrangement and guidance, and at that time, the reincarnation of no matter what kind of thinking will have to make his own choice.
Sure enough, it is impossible for the space to allow the reincarnator to have nothing to do during the ten days of his stay, avoiding the discovery of the hidden mission. In the next few days, if the reincarnators can't exert their subjective initiative, then they will inevitably passively enter the main plot of history under the guidance of space.
And for Xu Mo, if he wants to be ahead of most reincarnators in this world, then the danger he faces will also increase. Because the next arrangement and guidance of the space is aimed at most reincarnations, if you want to get more benefits and more gains, Xu Mo must go beyond the established steps of the space, and this behavior will obviously stand on the opposite side of most people.
Thinking of this, Xu Mo smiled secretly, since he learned this information, then in the next few days, he would know what to prepare, but before that, he still needed intelligence, a lot of information.
After Xu Mo returned to the Sword Transformation Pavilion, he didn't go back to his room, but went straight to the door of a person's room. After knocking on the door, the man was not in the room, so he had to make a detour to Kyungsheng's room.
"You want to find Senior Brother Gao? Hehe, you and Senior Brother Gao are really more talkative. Senior Brother Gao Jian should have returned to his own workshop at this time, and he was only half a minute away on foot. Qingsheng smiled and pointed out the path to Gao Mo with a smile.
Xie Qingsheng, Xu Mo walked out quickly, and after a while, he saw Gao Yan's workshop in the city, which was a blacksmith's workshop, and there was a bamboo plaque hanging in front of the door, on which there were two large seals of Gao Fang.
"Senior brother, Nie Li is looking for you!" Xu Mo looked at Gao Yan, who was building bronze swords in the workshop, and said.
"Haha, it's Nie Li, wait a while, and I'll talk to you when I'm done with this sword!" Gao gradually smiled heartily and said to Xu Mo.
While Gao Jian was forging swords, Xu Mo took a closer look at Gao Jian's blacksmith workshop, which had a large space, with several small furnaces and a few white iron anvils, and a lot of bronze tools were displayed on the wooden shelves in front of the workshop, including hoes, axes and swords. Looking at the furnace in front of him that opened in front and back and used charcoal, Xu Mo's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he thought.
"Nie Li, I'm fine! Come, come in, come into the back room! Gao gradually said happily, "You came to continue the fight with a certain person, and at the beginning he was stopped by Qingsheng, and a certain family really failed to have fun, presumably you are the same." ”
"Senior brother, Nie Li is not here to continue that fight with you. Nie Li was originally working as a farmer at home, and when he came to the capital for the first time, he was very confused about some things, and his surname was quite compatible, so he came to inquire about Brother Gao! Please also ask the senior brother to give me advice! Xu Mo looked at Gao Yan, a martial idiot, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Oh~, then you say it, if you have any questions, just ask a certain family!" After Gao gradually listened, he understood.
"No! What I want to inquire about is ......" Xu Mo looked at Gao Yan and said something.
