Volume 1 Cachumen Chapter 5 Immortal Fate
The conflict between Wu Xie and Wei Teng soon became known in the town, because from then on, the arrogant and domineering Wei Teng was completely arrogant when he saw Wu Xie, and even took a detour.
And after this incident, everyone finally realized that the masters in this town were not only the guards of Xie Minghuan and Liu Ming, but also a young man who was deeply hidden.
However, it doesn't matter if you know the Tao, the vast majority of immortal seekers are relatively peaceful, even if they don't be kind to others, at least they won't deliberately look for trouble. Wu Xie doesn't look like a person who likes to cause trouble, he is like a tiger who has eaten enough and is napping, as long as you don't come up to find death by yourself, he won't bother to do it.
In this worldly world, people who like to seek death are an extremely small minority after all.
Of course, Wu Xie himself is also included.
"Brother Xie, you must have seen it, right?" Sitting on the top of the cliff, Wu Xie confirmed that there was no third person in the range of sight except for himself and Xie Minghuan, and then said with confidence, "That blacksmith Zhang is definitely not an ordinary person!" ”
"Of course. No matter how big the fire was, no matter how long he worked, he always had so much sweat on his body. Xie Minghuan was not withdrawn and indifferent when facing masters of the same level, "I'm afraid that the sweat was deliberately forced out by him - but if you want not to sweat next to that kind of fire, even the grandmasters of the innate martial arts may not be able to do it." ”
Wu Xie was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that he actually saw the flaw from this aspect, and then he praised the knot, deeply impressed by the vision of this old Jianghu.
He also often went to the blacksmith shop, but he never paid attention to the sweat on Zhang Long's body!
"Not only that, Brother Jie, look." He took out the scythe he had bought, took out the nail and the hammer, placed the nail in the place of an iron spirit, and smashed it down with a heavy hammer.
With a ding, sparks splashed, but there wasn't even a scratch on the iron spirit.
This scene surprised Xie Minghuan, stared at the scythe left and right, and asked: "I have also bought things made by him before, and they are only ordinary to use, why is this scythe so weird!" ”
"It's not the scythe that's weird, it's this little piece of land." Wu Xie did not hide his secrets, and explained to him in detail the situation of that small piece of iron essence.
Xie Minghuan had never heard of such a thing as "iron essence", but he easily understood what Wu Xie said, and his eyes when he looked at the sickle suddenly became hot, as if he saw through the sickle a great master with high skills who could refine iron essence at will, and saw his hope of breaking through the bottleneck and entering the innate martial arts.
"This Master Zhang is really a real person and doesn't show his face!" For the first time, an excited smile appeared on that cold face, "Thank you Brother Wu for your advice!" This kindness is unforgettable! ”
Wu Xie also smiled, and then finally talked about the real topic of inviting Xie Minghuan today: "The problem now is that this Master Zhang obviously doesn't like to be disturbed by others. How can we convince him? If you accidentally anger him, let alone ask for immortals, I'm afraid that my life will be difficult to protect! ”
When Xie Minghuan heard this, he frowned and began to ponder.
As a martial arts veteran who has been in the rivers and lakes for nearly 20 years, his social experience is much more than Wu Xie - even if he adds the social experience of his previous life, Wu Xie has been in society for less than ten years in total, almost half of him.
The social experience accumulated on the peaceful earth is not very useful in this world full of dangers. The people of this world are much more sensitive than the earthlings, and some inconspicuous little things on the earth may anger them, and their reactions when they are angry are also more exaggerated than those of the earthlings, and they are polite to swing their fists, and it is common to draw knives.
After all, the country where Wu Xie lived back then was a country with the highest crime rate and the highest degree of stability in the world, which was completely different from this dangerous world where people died in wars at every turn. Maybe...... That's what those war-torn areas on the planet look like, right?
The reason why Wu Xie wanted to discuss with Xie Minghuan was that he hoped to use the other party's experience in the rivers and lakes to come up with a way to successfully persuade Zhang Long and seek immortal fate.
Xie Minghuan thought about it for almost an hour, his face changed many times, and only then did he smile and have a little confidence in his eyes.
"Xie thought about it, and finally felt that it would be better for us to go directly to the door to find out about this matter."
"Oh? For what? What if Master Yi is angry? Wu Xie was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously.
"Qingniu Town is a holy place for seeking immortals, which is famous far and wide. If Master Zhang really didn't want others to disturb him, he would have moved to another place long ago. He stayed here because he was supposed to be looking for a suitable disciple while practicing in seclusion. Xie Minghuan pointed at himself, and then at Wu Jie, "You and I are both masters who have stepped into the innate martial arts with half a foot, with strong bodies and strong wills. He struck iron as a pastime, and all he was looking for should be disciples like us! ”
Wu Xie nodded slightly, feeling that he made a lot of sense.
Although Master Zhang refused to reveal his identity, judging from his usual words and deeds, he should be a relatively straightforward person. So we went straight to the door and asked for apprenticeship, and he should accept us. ”
Wu Xie pondered it carefully, and then took a deep breath and made a decision.
For Jianghu's understanding of people's hearts, this old Jianghu must be above himself. In that case, then trust the opinions of professionals!
The next morning, after the immortal seekers went out one after another, Wu Xie and Xie Minghuan came to the blacksmith shop together.
"You're finally here." Before they could speak, Zhang Long spoke first, "I'm wondering, why didn't you come yesterday - have you finally made up your mind?" ”
When the two heard this, they no longer doubted it and bowed down together.
Before they could bow down, Zhang Long had already come up to support them and did not accept their worship.
"Don't worry, don't worry, it's not so simple for the Immortal Sect to recruit disciples. Don't say you haven't apprenticed yet, even if you do, as long as you're not my apprentice, you don't have to worship me - we don't have so many rules. He smiled innocently, and didn't know where Lu Dao took out two pieces of bamboo and handed them to the two of them, "This piece of bamboo is my token, you remember to take it with you." What will happen in the future will naturally be understood when the time comes. ”
After thinking about it, he told again: "Don't come in the future, and don't spread the news of today's affairs, my generation of righteous monks is very taboo to casually reveal their identities to mortals." Remember! Remember! ”
When the two of them walked away, Zhang Long sat on the stool with a smile, took out a wine jug out of nowhere, raised his head and took a big sip, looking quite proud.
"I recruited two half-innate young masters at once, and the basic requirements for this enrollment are considered to be completed!"
Wu Xie endured the excitement in his heart, hurriedly returned to the inn, closed the doors and windows, and plunged into the Heavenly Book World Realm.
As soon as he entered the realm of the Heavenly Book World, he couldn't bear it anymore and looked up to the sky and smiled.
There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them!
"Congratulations, master!" Jasmine leaned in and said with a smile, "This dragon really has a sect, and the immortal cultivators have a sect as their backing, and life will be much better!" ”
Du Ruo naturally likes to see this, she has always hoped to find a way to cultivate until she manifests herself in the daytime, because in addition to eating, she still likes to bask in the sun, and she can't move in the sun, which is very inconvenient after all.
The three of them celebrated for a while, and Wu Xie left the Heavenly Book World Realm and took out the dark brown bamboo slip to take a closer look.
This bamboo slip looks very ordinary, but it is much heavier than the ordinary bamboo slip in the hand, and there are many patterns on the bamboo slip that are like clouds in the sky. On the front of the bamboo slip are the words "keep the right and do not lose", and on the reverse side is a bright red flame. When he put his finger on the painted flame, he felt a faint stream of heat flowing out of the bamboo slips, slightly burning his hands.
When he entered the Heavenly Book World Realm just now, he felt that the qi and blood on his body were flowing rapidly, and he had to put down this piece of bamboo slip - it can be seen that it is indeed not a mortal thing, but a treasure that contains a lot of spiritual energy.
"It's a very simple artifact." Jasmine said, "But it's done very carefully, probably a token of this sect." ”
can be evaluated by Jasmine with a very high vision of "intentions", this bamboo slip is really extraordinary!
Wu Xie took a closer look at this piece of bamboo slip, and always felt a little familiar, and only remembered after a while that the ancestral "token of seeking immortals" of the clay family seemed to be quite similar to this bamboo slip.
He had seen the token before, it was a green bamboo board, about half the size of a palm. The obverse is engraved with the words "The coming day is long", and the reverse is engraved with a shepherd boy riding an old cow and herding sheep. Both the words and the paintings are very simple, but they exude a vigorous and vigorous force, which makes people can't help but leave a deep impression.
Regardless of the shape or the text, the two tokens are not the same, but Wu Xie feels that there is an indescribable feeling on the two tokens, which makes him feel very similar to each other.
He had the heart to look for the clay again to see the token, but unfortunately the clay went out to the eagle's beak cliff, and it would take at least ten days and eight days to come back.
Master Zhang Long had already told him not to go to the blacksmith shop again, and Dr. Jiang'an went out to find a craftsman, Tao Tu and Liu Ming went to the Eagle's Beak Cliff, Xie Minghuan retreated and meditated every day, and for a while he didn't have any more familiar people in this Qingniu Town.
Boredom, Wu Xie went to visit a few other people in the town who seemed to be a little special.
Zhou Zhou, the owner of the grocery store, is a middle-aged Confucian student, who looks pedantic and down-and-out. His personality is a bit simple, like the kind of nerd who reads dead books and reads his brain stupidly since he was a child, and he thinks about the good side of people and things, and is often teased by the townspeople.
It is said that this Mr. Zhou also studied and studied back then, but he didn't even get a show. After so many years in society, I have suffered a lot of big and small losses, so that I am so depressed that I run a grocery store, but I have to write letters and work as a tailor to supplement my family, and I still live a tight life.
The reason is probably that he abides by the words of the sage and only earns one-tenth of the profit in business, while the aunts and aunts in the town are really ruthless in their counter-offering, so that he often can't even make one-tenth of the profit......
In addition, the chef of the restaurant, Li Goudan, is also very special - not only the name is very individual, but his appearance is even more individual. This Chef Li has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, which is better than Master Zhang Long, but his face is quite delicate, like a well-mannered scholar. This vision of a tiger with clear eyebrows and a tiger's back and a bear's waist, I don't know how many people who saw him for the first time were stunned - Wu Xie was also one of them.
Compared with Chef Li's bizarre appearance, Li Wuxian, a very ordinary-looking post postman, is very inconspicuous. In fact, he is indeed very inconspicuous, so inconspicuous that even if you stand in front of you, you will subconsciously ignore him.
Wu Xie felt that this Li Chaye really shouldn't be a postman, if he was a killer, he would definitely be the top killer, and the target would probably not know who was the one who did it until he died.
With the example of Master Zhang Long in front, Wu Xie estimated that Dr. Jiang, Mr. Zhou, Chef Li, and Master Li were not ordinary people...... It may even be that Li Mingtong and Li Xiaoyao's father and son are immortal cultivators.
If you think about it, this town is simply the base camp of immortal cultivators!
He pondered, and laughed dumbly.
