Chapter 11: Departure (II)

Time always flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month flies by in a flash.

In the past month, Nan Huaijin has lived a very regular and happy life.

Just like in the small valley in the Linxia Mountain, I get up at dawn every day, and practice the chaotic mountain knife technique in the yard with the rising sun.

When he has nothing to do, he runs to play with Chubby, chat, and asks him to tell him some stories from books. Sometimes I would help my grandfather cook, and I would walk with my grandfather after dinner.

When you are older, you need to be active after meals in order to better digest the food in your stomach. Of course, he can't play a knife like his grandson Nan Huaijin, so going out for a walk after dinner has become the best choice.

Not only can you digest the food better, but you can also enjoy the scenery in the town of Lyph.

It's spring now, and it's the time for the fragrance of spring flowers. Walking on the bluestone-paved road, smelling the fragrance of spring flowers, and feeling the slightly cool spring breeze blowing on your face, everything is very comfortable.

And the gang that the grandfather and grandson had been thinking about finally at dusk, a black carriage slowly drove into Laifu Town.

There were two middle-aged people in the car who were dressed as Taoist priests in cyan Taoist robes, and there were fifteen or sixteen children about eight or nine years old, so they stayed at the Laifu Inn.

Laifu Town is a sparsely populated town, so after a while, the whole town knows that a carriage has entered Laifu Town for the purpose of collecting people.

In the Rifle Inn, the group went upstairs after having dinner downstairs. Due to the day's journey, the children were a little sleepy, and after eating, they went back to their rooms and went to bed early.

"Knock knock. There was a knock on the door.

"Enter. Xiang Hu sat on the bed and said after hearing a knock on the door.

"Senior Brother Xiang. After the visitor entered the door, he saluted Xianghu and greeted.

"Senior Brother Qian, sit, is there anything wrong?" Xiang Hu asked in a somewhat puzzled tone when he saw that the person who came was Senior Brother Qian, who was traveling with him.

"Tell the senior brother, the junior brother doesn't understand something, so I came to ask the senior brother for advice. Qian Yu said after sitting down.

"What?"

"I don't understand why we came to such a remote town to recruit disciples. When I went out of the mountain, I heard from my brothers that they all went to those big cities, why did they come here in the end? Qian Yu said suspiciously, asking the question in his heart.

"Senior brother, this matter is very simple, you must know that Master Sun, one of the three masters of our Yuxi Valley's three major knotting pill periods, was born here. Hearing his junior brother's question, Xiang Hu smiled slightly and replied.

"I see, Master Sun was born here. Qian Yu suddenly realized.

"I also listened to what the master said when I was leaving, and it was also the master who specially asked me to come here. Xiang Hu said with a smile.

"But senior brother, senior brother still doesn't understand something. Qian Yu paused and continued: "Why do we charge ten taels of silver, and we have to pretend to be in the name of the gang. ”

"This is very simple, Master Sun was born here, so he wants to give the people of this town a chance to step into the immortal cultivation realm. But he didn't want them to give up their lives in vain, so he set the condition of ten taels of silver. For people who want to get ahead, there are still ten taels of silver. Xiang Hu continued to explain.

"Senior brother understands, thank you, senior brother. Qian Yu said gratefully.

"It's just a small thing, it's not worth mentioning. However, this town has produced a cultivator from Master Sun, and there has never been another cultivator for more than two hundred years. After all, there is no one in a thousand thousand spiritual roots. Xiang Hu said with some emotion.

"Yes, we passed through twelve major cities on this trip before we received fifteen children with spiritual roots. Qian Yu also sighed a little when he heard this.

"There are actually two children with twin spirit roots in this trip, which is also a good qualification, better than both you and me. When you return to Yuxi Valley, you will be rewarded. Xiang Hu changed the topic and said with some excitement.

"There is a seventy or eighty percent chance that the twin spirit roots can build a successful foundation, and you and I are also considered meritorious. Hearing his senior brother's words, Qian Yu was also a little happy.

"But when will you and I have a chance to build a foundation and succeed? As soon as the words changed, Qian Yu said in a low voice.

"yes. Xiang Hu also felt a little emotional.

The two of them, one is a seventh-level Qi practitioner and the other is a fifth-level Qi practitioner, and the foundation building is still a bit far away for them.

"It's not too early, junior brother, I'll take my leave first. ”

"Hmm. ”

Xiang Hu replied, returned to the bed and sat cross-legged again. Heaven rewards hard work, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and he is still quite persistent in cultivation. Once the foundation is successfully built, not only will the longevity be greatly increased, reaching more than 200 years old, but the power of the exercises will be greatly enhanced, which is not the same as the time of the Qi cultivation period.

However, it is not so easy to build a successful foundation, this is like a moat, I don't know how many low-level cultivators have been blocked. It is really difficult to build a foundation, and it is difficult to go to the sky.

Soon after the carriage entered Laifu Town, the grandfather and grandson of the Nan family knew about it. Hearing this news, the grandfather and grandson were still very excited. I've been looking forward to it for more than a month, and it's finally here.

Nan Huaijin was both a little excited and a little uneasy in her heart. He didn't know how to be assessed tomorrow, whether he would have a chance to enter the gang that his grandfather had been talking about.

Tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep all night. Just like the scene when Nanyutang was going to take Nan Huaijin into Linxia Mountain three years ago, Nan Huaijin couldn't sleep when she was both excited and apprehensive, lying on the bed tossing and turning.

Time passed slowly, and Nan Huaijin finally closed her eyes and fell asleep tiredly.

But before dawn he woke up. After a hasty wash, he began to practice the Chaos Mountain Knife Technique.

Grinding guns in battle, not fast and light. Nan Huaijin has never read a book and doesn't understand any reason. In his heart, he felt that it would be useful to practice the Chaotic Mountain Sword Technique a few more times. Even if it didn't have a practical effect, at least it calmed his restless heart.

Xiang Huqian and the two brothers got up earlier. Practitioners don't need much sleep in the first place, and usually spend long nights meditating. The plan of the day lies in the morning, and the effect of practicing the exercises in the early morning is better.

Although they were not in the valley at this time, they were still used to exhaling every day when the purple qi came from the east. After the aura in the body ran for a few days, the two of them finished their work. Start preparing for the daytime exams.

The two took out a set of tables and chairs from the Rifle Inn and erected a sign on the side of the road on East Street.

It reads, "The gang recruits, signs up for the assessment, and pays ten taels of silver." Then the senior brothers sat down and closed their eyes to recuperate, they have already done what they should do, as for who has this immortal fate, it depends on the individual's creation.

Nanyutang also got up quite early, after all, this is a big deal for his grandson, and he must pay attention to it.

After breakfast, Nanyutang took Nan Huaijin to Dongdajie. By the time they arrived, there were already parents with their children lining up.

Although Xiang Hu and Qian Yu are not afraid of trouble, they can do one less thing, and it is too troublesome to come one by one, and they plan to wait for all the children in the town who want to test to start the test, so that the speed is faster.

So by the time the grandfather and grandson arrived, there were already more than 20 children waiting in line. Although Laifu Town is a small town, there are still many people who go out to make a living in each generation.

Knowledgeable people come back and know the benefits of joining a gang, it's like joining the army, but the benefits are much better than joining the army. Most families still want to try whether their children have this luck, in case they succeed.

After Nanyutang handed over the silver, Nan Huaijin lined up in the line. After a while, several more children came one after another and lined up behind him.

Before he knew it, it was noon, and Xiang Hu opened his eyes and looked at the more than thirty children in front of him. It's time to get started, and here are the kids who want to take the test in Rifford Town.

"Now, the test begins. One by one, they came forward. Xiang Hu said solemnly to the crowd.

Qian Yu on the side had already taken out a palm-sized disc engraved with complex patterns in his hand, and when he heard this, he began to ask the first child to test forward.

"Put your hands on it. Qian Yu said to the child in front of him, who was about eight or nine years old.

"Hmm. The child replied timidly.

"Unqualified, next. ”

............

"Unqualified, next. ”

Nan Huaijin looked at the scene in front of him, and his originally somewhat calm mood became apprehensive again, and he tested more than a dozen people, but none of them were qualified.

Some of the children who failed the test cried, after all, they were still young and could not bear it. At this time, he was comforted by his parents.

Nanyutang was also a little apprehensive in his heart, and it was about to be his grandson's turn to test. If Nan Huaijin is also unqualified, he should find a way to take him to other cities to try his luck.

Finally, it was Nan Huaijin's turn to test, and none of these people who were tested in front of him were qualified. He also had some doubts in his heart, and he could measure something by simply putting his hand on the plate.

After more than 20 consecutive spells, Qian Yu was also a little tired, and his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat. Seeing this, Xiang Hu on the side said, "Senior Brother Qian, you take a rest, let me do the rest." ”

"Okay, thank you, brother. Hearing this, Qian Yu handed the magic disk in his hand into Xiang Hu's hand, and exhaled with relief.

"Put your hand on it. Xiang Hu said to Nan Huaijin.

Nan Huaijin took a deep breath when she heard this, stretched out her right hand and put it on it.

Seeing this, Xiang Hu silently recited a few sentences of law in his heart, and at the same time, the aura in his hand was sent and entered the law plate.

Nan Huaijin only felt a cool air coming from the magic plate, drilled into his body from his right hand, and quickly swam around his body before returning to the magic plate.

I saw that the complex patterns engraved in the magic plate were faintly lit up, and then the entire magic plate lit up with blue, gold, and brown lights.

"The three attributes of the wood, gold and earth spirit root, you can really meet one, you are qualified, stand next to me. Xiang Hu was a little surprised that something that hadn't happened for more than two hundred years had actually happened to him.

Nan Huaijin obediently stood aside, her heart was excited, and her face turned red. I actually passed, Nan Huaijin didn't mention how happy she was.

The crowd of onlookers was also noisy, and some people suspected that it was fake, but they didn't expect that someone really passed the test.

Nanyutang had already laughed, and he knew that his grandson would be a good seedling. However, unlike what he expected, Nan Huaijin has the qualification to cultivate immortals, although it is only a three-attribute spiritual root, and the qualification is not good.

After a while, Xianghu finished the test for the remaining children, and none of the remaining children passed the test. After all, there is no spiritual root, and if there are two people in a small town like Laifu Town who have spiritual roots at once, this possibility is too low.
