Chapter 019: Apprenticeship at the Mountain Gate
In the easterner region of Gwangju, there is a mountain range that is inaccessible.
Ye Xi squinted his eyes and looked at the mountain gate at the end of the stone steps, and the Douda ancient compilation font carved on it, 'Yanyu Gate', couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief,
"Finally found it!"
At this time, five days have passed since the sect openly accepted disciples, except for the day of the disciples, the remaining four days Ye Xi has been searching, or more precisely, tracking, tracking the Yanyu Sect people who returned from the valley, and finally succeeded in following here.
This is undoubtedly a dangerous move, although the sealers do not seem mysterious in this world, and ordinary people are aware of their existence. However, the specific location of the mountain gate is still necessary to be kept secret. In addition to being built in a sparsely populated place, some well-established factions will also use formations to cover their mountain gates, so as to cut off the prying eyes of the world.
As bold as Ye Xi is to follow the people of the Yin Dao Sect and pursue the address of the sect, if he is discovered, he will be beaten to death, and there is no reason to go.
Fortunately, the people in the Yanyu Sect probably didn't expect someone to dare to follow behind, plus Ye Xi's tracking skills were good, so he was lucky to get here.
Of course, this is just the beginning.
After slightly cleaning up the deliberately messy appearance, Ye Xi stepped on the stone steps, and after a while, he came to the bottom of the Yanyu Gate, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Knock knock knock...... Knock knock knock......
"Who's coming, who?" A crisp and pleasant voice came from behind the door, and then there was a squeak, and a small head with bright eyes and bright teeth and a double ponytail poked out from the crack in the door, and looked the leaf seat up and down with smart eyes, "Who are you? How did you get here?"
I miscalculated, I knew that she opened the door, I should have cleaned up and added some impression points......
The other party didn't know Ye Xi, but Ye Xi knew the other party, and even knew that this little girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, named Zhai Rongjing, liked to eat all kinds of snacks, and as long as she passed through the town on the way back to the mountain gate, she would find an opportunity to sneak out and steal her mouth.
In addition to the identity of the snack goods, the other party also has another layer of identity, that is, the most favored little sister in Yanyu Sect. Of course, with this trip to the head of the Yanyu Sect to take back the three little apprentices, she was honorably promoted to the junior sister.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the benefit of intelligence gathering.
Ye Xi saluted politely and introduced himself: "Hello girl, my name is Ye Xi, I am from afar, I have been talking to Mu Yin since I was a child, and I happened to hear that there are often real people in this mountain, so I tried to find it here a few days ago." As a result, I finally found this place. ”
"Oh...... Are you here to apprentice?" After this implicit introduction, the little girl Zhai Rongjing pondered for a while before she understood Ye Xi's intentions, and suddenly subconsciously shook her head, "You're late, we just finished accepting apprentices a few days ago." ”
"It's just that I've just finished collecting it, and I'll still collect it in the future, right?" Ye Xi's smile became more and more sincere, pointing to all kinds of embarrassing marks on his body, and spreading his hands bitterly, "It's not easy for me to come here, why don't you ask the girl to summon the real person in charge of your faction and let him decide?"
Since the impression could not be added, Ye Xi decisively decided to take the route of sympathy.
However, it was obvious that this little girl's sympathy was limited, so she hesitated, bluffed and said: "My master is very fierce, he won't agree to you, you better leave early, so as not to be reprimanded by him again." ”
Ye Xi blinked, and couldn't help laughing a few times in his heart, hehe, the little girl is playing this game with me, I don't know if your master is fierce or not?
Seeing that Ye Xi was not bluffed, Zhai Rongjing pursed her lips and muttered Okay, don't blame me for not reminding you if something happened. Then he turned his head and shouted, "Master, senior brother, come quickly, someone has come to apprentice!"
"Well, I've just come back!"
"Rong Jing, you are not too young, you should learn women's rules, don't always babble. ”
A cold doubt, a gentle voice mixed with a little bit of persuasion came from a distance, and then the mountain gate opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a navy blue robe and a fair and gentle face walked out first.
Ye Xi's eyes flashed slightly, this is Fu Rusheng, the head of the Yanyu faction, as his name suggests, his own temperament and demeanor are more like a reader who has read the scriptures than the head of the Yin Dao faction.
As for the young man with a long sword in his hand and a frosty face following behind Fu Rusheng, it should be the great disciple of Yanyu Sect, Yin Changqing.
"Boy Ye Xi, born with a tile to cover his head, Ye Xi who died as a seat, has seen a real person!" Ye Xi stepped forward, dusted off his coat, and bowed meticulously.
You have to use whatever attitude you have towards whomever you want, it doesn't matter if the little girl Zhai Rongjing on the side is on the side, but although this Fu Rusheng has a gentle temperament and is quite gentlemanly, he also attaches the most importance to tradition, especially in terms of etiquette, which cannot be overcome.
Sure enough, after seeing Ye Xi's solemn and standardized salute, Fu Rusheng's expression seemed to be a little gentler, and he looked at Ye Xi: "I don't know where the little brother came from, what is the purpose of coming here?"
This is knowingly asking, after all, appreciation is appreciation, but after seeing Ye Xi's face of an age that was close to a weak crown, Fu Rusheng instantly dispelled the idea of accepting apprentices.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xi said unhurriedly: "The kid is from a mountain village in Quanzhou, his parents died when he was a child, and he was fortunately raised by a kind uncle next door. Just because I had a fantasy of repairing the seal in my heart, I kept looking for it and came here. ”
Uncle Niu, Uncle Niu, I'm sorry, when I repair the seal and go back, I will let you live a long life...... Of course, this is compiled, in fact, Ye Xi can't help but Uncle Niu alone, you must know that he had several versions of his tragic life experience in his heart before he came here, and there were a lot of people who sat in the right seats.
"I see, no wonder you're only here now...... Parents are not far away, and there must be a way to travel. Although that uncle is not your parents, he is better than your parents when he raised you, and you are very good and right to do this!" Fu Rusheng looked at Ye Xi's eyes more and more appreciatively, and decided to give him a chance, "In this case, you come over first and I will test your talent." ”
Ye Xi didn't answer, but bowed his head with a wry smile: "Don't bother with real people, the kid has no cultivation talent." It's just that...... The kid is not reconciled!"
His fists clenched, his body trembling with emotion. At this moment, Ye Xi's superb acting skills broke out instantly, "The kid has been in a private school for a few years, and I often hear people say that the road is fifty and the sky is forty-nine! God has never treated someone well, and he has never despised anyone. When you close a door, you must open a window. So if you don't believe that you don't have talent, you can't cultivate!"
After a pause, he concentrated all his energy, looked at Fu Rusheng who was a little stunned, and saluted to the ground, "I hope that the real person will be fulfilled!"
Ye Xi's sudden outburst made the scene instantly quiet. But
"I understand when you open and close the window, but the avenue is fifty, why does it mean that it is forty-nine, master?" Rong Jing's little girl looked at her master with a look of curiosity, her eyes were bright, and her expression was cute.
However, at this time, Ye Xi, who bowed to the ground, couldn't wait to slap himself a few times, making you say that it was so complicated. I can't wait to sew a needle into the mouth of the snack merchant, don't you spoil the atmosphere......
Sure enough, Fu Rusheng, who came back to his senses, would no longer be caught by Ye Xi's words, showing hesitation, and couldn't make up his mind for a while.
At this time, "Master, the newly accepted little junior disciples have just arrived, and they will definitely not adapt to it, and the junior brothers are clumsy, if you take care of it in the past, master, you will leave it to me and the little junior sister to deal with." It was the eldest disciple Yin Changqing, who glanced at Ye Xi and raised his hand to Fu Rusheng.
"Yes. Fu Rusheng thought for a while, nodded in agreement, "Say it well, don't treat this little brother slowly." ”
"Yes, master. ”
It's no longer a show this time...... Listening to Fu Rusheng's footsteps in the distance, Ye Xi sighed secretly and straightened up regretfully.
"The master has a gentle temperament and won't bother with you, but you can't fool me. When Fu Rusheng's figure disappeared, Yin Changqing looked at Ye Xi coldly, "You said that you are from Quanzhou, why don't you have a Quanzhou accent in your words! Yanyumen is located in the middle of nowhere, how did you find it? Who sent you?"
With every question, Yin Changqing's momentum skyrocketed by one point, revealing his edge like a sheathed sword, and constantly climbing. As soon as the last words fell, the terrifying momentum was like a storm and pressed forward frantically, and it was suffocating.
Ye Xi, who was in the center of the storm, was stunned when he heard the words: "Jeonju accent?
What are you kidding, planning and then acting is the basic skill of successful people in this world, how can Ye Xi, who is well-prepared, show flaws in this regard? Of course, if he is asked to say a few more words, he will have to do it......
After a pause, Yin Changqing's expression was still as cold as frost: "I don't care where you come from, Yanyu Sect will not accept disciples with suspicious appearances." After today, if I see you again in a hundred miles, I will not be spared!"
Ye Xi was silent and shook his head: "I won't leave." ”
Yin Changqing's eyes were cold: "You don't dare to kill you when I do?"
"Misunderstanding. Shaking his head again, Ye Xi spread his hands and stood calmly: "In this world, how can a wanderer like me who is a family from all over the world live safely? Maybe before he got out of this mountain range, he was intercepted and killed by bandits and bandits." So if I didn't ask for the Seal Dao, I wouldn't leave. ”
Yin Changqing looked at Ye Xi for a while, snorted lightly, turned around and walked into the mountain gate: "Follow you, junior sister closes the door!"
"Oooh oh ......"
Bang, the mountain gate closes.
"Little junior sister, don't open the door easily next time, it's not too late to open it when you see it clearly. ”
"I can see it clearly, senior brother, just like this, I can beat ten with one hand, don't be afraid......"
The words drifted away and eventually fell silent. Ye Xi looked at the closed mountain gate, shook his head, did not entangle, turned around and walked down the stone steps.
When he returned to the end of the stone steps, Ye Xi pulled out a large bag of green cloth from the grass on the side, opened it, and saw a dazzling array of clothes, cloth bags, pots and bowls, wooden chopsticks, etc.
Accustomed to the mountain breeze, bamboo leaves. In the quiet birdsong of a song, a long sigh,
"It's so easy to go where you want me to go...... It's a long battle......"
