Early the next morning, Fu Lou plucked up his courage, opened his eyes full of red silk, told his parents what he heard in the fairy wine shop yesterday, and expressed his determination to try it.

A moment of silence followed.

Fu Lou's father was silent for a long time, and his mother was also silent, her eyes were always red, as if she wanted to cry. Fu Lou's parents know Fu Lou's temperament, don't look at him as usually well-behaved and easy-going, in fact, he is stoic and assertive, as long as he has a certain idea, he will not change easily.

"Well, let's try it first, and then it will see. After a long time, my father said heavily. My mother has always been docile, and she doesn't object, but tears have fallen from her eyes.

Although Fu Lou was sad in his heart, he was unwilling to change his mind, so he didn't say anything, just nodded.

-------------

At noon, Fu Lou and his father rushed to the county seat of Shenxian under the scorching sun.

When they came to the door of the fairy wine shop, they couldn't help but be a little daze when they saw the scene in front of them. At this moment, there was already a mile-long queue on the side of the street from the front of the fairy wine shop, accompanied by many adults on the side of the line, almost crowding the street.

The people in the queue were both men and women, most of them were not very old, the youngest was seven or eight years old, and the oldest was less than twenty years old.

"Why are so many people coming to test?" Fu Lou's heart was full of questions. It was only after an enthusiastic passer-by explained that they understood the reason for the incident.

It turned out that as long as they passed the preliminary test and went up the mountain to pass the test and finally became a disciple of the Immortal Sect, they would have five taels of silver per month to subsidize their families, and the Immortal Wine Shop would distribute it to their respective families on their behalf.

It turns out that the Immortal Wine Shop is one of the industries of the Immortal Sect in the world, so it's no wonder that it can brew such good wine as Immortal Wine. As soon as Fu Lou's father heard the word fairy wine, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva in his throat, and his mind began to loosen a little, thinking that it was not a bad thing for Fu Lou to come here to test.

Five taels of silver per month is a good income for ordinary people, equivalent to half a year's salary of Fu Blacksmith. No wonder there are so many people who come to test it today, obviously hoping to enter the Immortal Sect, and many people are here for these five taels of silver.

Fu Lou said secretly: "In order to recruit suitable disciples this time, the Immortal Sect actually adopted such a vulgar method, which seems to be related to the competition mentioned in the conversation between the three of them that I heard in the wine shop yesterday. ”

Fu Lou also walked to the back of the long line and waited, he not only wanted to get silver taels to supplement his family, but also wanted to really become an immortal, a world-renowned immortal.

The scorching sun was over, and the people in the team were sweating profusely, and the smell of sweat was soaring for a while, but no one in the queue had any intention of leaving, and of course Fu Lou would not leave.

Gradually, some people began to drink cold water and nibble on dry food. Fu Lou didn't bring dry food, but fortunately, his father carried a leather bag of water, so he kept drinking water to resist the scorching sun.

Soon, an exclamation was heard, and it turned out that someone had fainted to the ground and was taken away by his family. So someone sneered: "With such a physique, I want to become an immortal, it's just a pipe dream." ”

When the sun was about to set, it was finally Fu Lou's turn to test. Fu Lou's mood was very nervous at the moment, he was already sweating profusely, and his palms were even more wet, and he felt a little greasy.

In front of him was a long wooden table with a shiny appearance, and behind the table sat side by side the three immortals he had seen at the Immortal Wine Shop yesterday. The slightly older immortal was sitting in the middle, and it should be the immortal who was called Senior Brother Qin. On the table was a misty green ball that looked like jade but not jade, and looked like stone but not stone.

The male immortal on the left smiled and said to Fu Lou: "This little friend, open your palm, and put your palm on this ball, then close your eyes, count silently, and count from one to ten." ”

Fu Lou did as he was told, and he just counted to eight.

"Huh...... It's strange that there are all five kinds of spiritual roots. At this time, a pleasant middle-aged female voice came, and Fu Lou couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hey...... Senior sister, it's a pity that it's too weak, and it's the weakest kind, if it weren't for the spirit measuring ball, it would not be possible to measure it at all with the cultivation of the three of us. With such a weak spiritual root, even if you work hard, it will be extremely difficult to achieve anything. Open your eyes, little friend. A kind male voice came, with regret in his tone.

As soon as Fu Lou heard this, his heart sank, his face turned a little pale, he slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the three immortals opposite pitifully.

"Senior brother, there is only such a person with a spiritual root all day and night, although it is very weak, according to the little sister, let's leave this little brother. After all, only one out of tens of thousands of ordinary people has a spiritual root, and when the three of us and the others don't receive a few disciples, the master will blame us for not doing things well. Another male immortal said.

At this time, Fu Lou spit out some words pitifully: "Ladies and gentlemen, please accept Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng is a showman, he just took the fourth place in the exam, Xiaosheng wants to become a disciple of your sect very much, Xiaosheng will definitely work hard, definitely!." Then, his face showed a look of fortitude.

The three immortals couldn't help but look at Fu Lou carefully, a little curious.

"Xiucai, such a young Xiucai, tsk, yes, it seems that this little brother is not only smart, but also has perseverance and determination, and his physique is also good, okay, according to what the junior brother said, then accept it." The face of the immortal surnamed Qin was surprised.

When Fu Lou heard that he was going to accept himself, he couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted, and said respectfully: "Xiaosheng is here to thank the three great immortals for their care." ”

Then, Fu Lou reported his name and family information according to the requirements of the three immortals, including his residential address and the names of his parents.

Then, the immortal surnamed Qin took out a small jade plaque and held it in his left hand, and his right hand flicked a finger at the jade plaque in the air, and then handed it to Fu Lou.

Fu Lou hurriedly stretched out his hands and respectfully took it, and found that the small jade plate was engraved with the word "Fu Lou". He secretly thought, worthy of being an immortal, and engraved his name on the jade plate in the blink of an eye, which made his already somewhat apprehensive heart even more firm.

The three immortals also each informed Fu Lou of their names, in order of rank: Qin Yan, Lu Mingyue, and Luo Lin. He also instructed Fu Lou to gather at the Immortal Liquor Shop ten days later, and then set off together to go to the Immortal Sect.

Fu Lou put the little jade plaque away and thanked the three immortals one by one, and then excitedly ran to his father, who was standing not far away to watch.

On the way back to Gao Laozhuang, Fu Lou was very excited all the way, jumping and jumping, but he didn't notice that his father was silent all the way.

After returning home, Fu Lou's mother knew that Fu Lou was going to go into the mountains to learn the Tao, and her expression was a little dazed, and she couldn't accept this fact. That night, she came to Fu Lou's room and slept with Fu Lou in her arms, but she cried until late before falling asleep. Early the next morning, she began to be busy again, packing up the clothes and dry food needed on the road to Fu Lou.

Seeing his mother's busy figure, Fu Lou's nose was sour and his eyes were moist. He remembered a popular poem: "A loving mother has a line in her hand, and a wandering son has a shirt." Before leaving, I am afraid that I will return late. There was a sigh in his heart, and at this moment he completely understood the reluctance of the mother to see off her son in this poem.

Fu Lou's grandfather was very angry when he knew that Fu Lou was going to enter the mountain to learn the Tao, and he was like thunder. He not only scolded Fu Lou for not doing anything better, but also blew his beard and scolded Fu Blacksmith, and after scolding tired, he shook his head angrily and left. Fu Lou had to go to his grandfather's house every day to comfort him, and at the same time expressed his determination. In the end, Fu Lou's grandfather saw that the matter had come to this, and at the same time, he was also familiar with Fu Lou's temperament, so he didn't say anything anymore, but he was alone at home lamenting and sighing.

Fu Lou seems to have become an adult these days, much more sensible than usual. He spent most of his time around his father and mother, not only helping his mother with household chores, but also helping his father when he was making ironware, such as pulling bellows and adding charcoal. Normally, his parents would not let him do these things, but this time they had a regular meeting.

Before leaving, Fu Lou dug out the two magical leather bags from under the bed, tied the rope strap, and hung it around his neck, the rope belt was very long, and the leather bag was hidden in his clothes. The leather bag is also very flat, and when you put on the clothes, you can't see that there are two leather bags hidden in the underwear.

When Fu Lou left Gao Laozhuang, his father, mother, and many villagers from Gao Laozhuang came to see him off. Even my grandfather, who hadn't seen anyone for a few days and was sulking at home, came.

Fu Lou looked at the mountains and rivers, relatives, and fellow villagers who had lived in front of him for ten years, he suddenly knelt upright, snorted a few times, and then resolutely got up and didn't go back. Fu Blacksmith also followed, and he wanted to accompany Fu Lou to the county seat. After all, Fu Lou was still young, and Fu Blacksmith was not at ease that he would walk dozens of miles alone.

Fu Lou's mother and grandfather have been standing at the head of the village and watching Fu Lou and Fu Blacksmith in the distance. When there was no longer a trace of the two of them, the mother, who was usually more delicate, ran to the nearby dirt slope with a strength out of nowhere, stood on the highest part of the dirt slope, and looked on tiptoe, until she could not see the slightest figure of the two again, and then dragged her tired figure back home.

Fu Lou and his father didn't talk much along the way, they just walked with their heads bored, thinking about it, and no amount of words could express their mood at the moment.
