Volume 5: The First Song One Hundred and Eleven: The Troubles of the Money Tide
Before the next outing, Qian Chao still has a lot of things to do, basically every day in his own residence or reading books or refining talismans.
Although he could refine qi in his own residence, Qian Chao still had to go to the Chengqi Hall from time to time, after all, there were some things he didn't understand, so he could only go to the inner hall to ask the senior brother or read the classics there.
It could have been said that everything was normal, but these days, Qian Chao feels more and more weird.
His current residence is quite good among the disciples of the Nine Xuan, the location is good, and the scenery is good, so it is naturally relatively secluded away from the place where many disciples live, and there are not many people in front of the door on weekdays, but when he went out recently, Qian Chao noticed that there was always a group of people gathered not far from the door of his residence, or staring at his house or staring at him, which made him a little uncomfortable, at first, he thought that there were people from those noble sons who had always been pampered by the family and fell in love with his house again, But it soon became clear that it was not the case.
"Eh, it's out, it's out......"
"Oh, he's Qian Chao......"
"Is that him?"
"That's right......"
"Shh......h Be quiet! ”
"Alas, there's nothing extraordinary, how can you be such a person......"
"I thought he was a great character......
The above was the whispers of those guys who Qian Chao heard deliberately suppressing their voices, which made him very curious.
Looking at the faces of those people, they are all very unfamiliar, some of them don't even wear the green robes of the five spirit disciples, Qian Chao estimates that these people should be the children of those families who have just come to the sect recently, probably because they heard about their reputation, and they came to see themselves out of curiosity, so even if they were a little annoyed by being watched by people every day, he didn't take this matter to heart.
But just a few days before he went out, things changed, that day he talked and consulted with the inner cousin in Chengqi Hall for an afternoon, and when twilight approached, he returned to his house, and what happened next finally made him know why those people were watching him like this.
When he came to the gate of his courtyard and was about to enter, someone suddenly stopped him.
"Qian Chao, is it Qian Chao?"
Qian Chao turned to look, and there was a young man who was not very tall, his eyes were burning and shining, and his expression was a little arrogant, and a lot of people gathered behind him.
"Yes, it's the tide of money down there, what's the cost?"
The person who called the tide of money gave a slight salute, and then said:
"In the son of the Dong family in Xia Yi Prefecture, Dong Hua Nian, not long after entering the sect, I heard many people in the sect say that Brother Qian is profound, has outstanding means, and has done a lot of incredible things, so that I am envious, so I took the liberty to come, and when I was in Yizhou, I was also a little famous, and I never lost the battle with my peers, so I am happy to see Brother Qian and itchy, I don't know if we can learn from Brother Qian, we can confirm each other, okay?"
It turned out to be a challenge, Qian Chao then understood why there were always people gathered here in front of his door these days, it seems that what Senior Sister Luo Ying said before was indeed right, she was really targeted by others, as for the reason, it must be because of her own reputation, these people are not even willing to wait for next year's test, and now they can't wait to come to the door to compare with themselves.
As for the competition, Qian Chao is willing to compete with those who are highly cultivated and have clever means, but it is limited to those people, as for these people in front of him, it is no exaggeration to say that in Qian Chao's opinion, these people are all ordinary people who have nothing to show for themselves, he is not interested at all, and he also knows that once he agrees to be with them, even if he defeats them today, there will be more people tomorrow, is it possible that he will not do anything these days, and only deal with them every day?
"This Brother Dong, the slight reputation in the lower part is not worth mentioning, most of them are just misinformation in the sect, exaggerated, don't take it seriously, there is no means in the next, Brother Dong, please go back."
"Hehe, Brother Qian is a real person, but there is no need to be so arrogant, although he is as famous as Brother Qian, but it is in Yizhou, in the sect, and he is still nameless, so Brother Qian does not have to worry too much, he has already come to the door in Xia, even if Brother Qian does not dare to fight, then it is a good thing for us to sit down and talk about it, after a long time in front of the door, the mouth is dry, don't Brother Qian even have a cup of tea?"
Qian Chao frowned and looked at this guy, his eyes flickered in his peaceful face, it seemed that if he didn't agree to talk to him, he would have to go to his residence to drink a cup of tea before leaving, this stubborn act made Qian Chao feel a little disgusted in his heart.
"I'm sorry, Brother Dong, there is no good tea here, no good wine, and no effort to talk about drinking with Brother Dong, it's getting late, Brother Dong, please go back."
After saying that, Qian Chao ignored the man, went directly into the courtyard, and then closed the door and closed the door.
"Huh...... This ......"
Dong Huanian didn't expect Qian Chao to refuse so simply, this was something he didn't expect, and he hadn't experienced it in Yizhou, he was a little overwhelmed all of a sudden, looked at the two closed doors, and became a little annoyed:
"So cowardly!"
Then he stood in front of the door for a while and saw that Qian Chao really didn't mean to open the door again, so he flicked his sleeves and left, leaving many people whispering there.
However, in the next few days, this Dong Huanian still frequently appeared at the door of Qian Chao, often came to entangle, and even followed Qian Chao, as long as he went out, there was always a group of people behind him to talk about it, which made Qian Chao tireless, until he entered the inner hall of Chengqi Hall Those people were stopped.
A few days later, Dong Huanian seemed to have given up, but a new guy came to replace him.
One day, the money tide went out.
"Senior Brother Qian."
A few people jumped out next to Leng Buding, and one stepped forward to salute.
Qian Chao looked at it, and it was a very unfamiliar face again, with his previous experience, he probably knew what this person was here for, so he asked:
"This ...... You're here to challenge you, too? ”
"Hehe, I don't dare to challenge, but ...... Oh, Lian Tang, the son of the Lian family in Xiameizhou, has heard the name of Senior Brother Qian for a long time, like thunder, and took the liberty to visit today, one is to admire Senior Brother Qian's demeanor, and the other is to listen to Senior Brother Qian's high opinions, of course, it would be better if they could confirm each other......
"Lian Gongzi," Qian Chao interrupted him impatiently, "I don't know what you heard about me in the sect, what you can say is that those are all fake, they were arranged by someone, don't believe it, I'm just an ordinary Qi refining disciple in Xia, I can't afford your visit, I still have something to do next, say goodbye!" ”
Although the man said beautifully, but the eyes in the two eyes flickered, and at first glance he couldn't help it, and Dong Huanian, who came to the door to challenge, should be a person all the way, Qian Chao didn't like it, he just wanted to get rid of the entanglement of these people quickly, and after finishing speaking, he pulled his legs and left, and hung the Lian Tang from Meizhou there, a little embarrassed and a little annoyed, but after all, this is the Five Spirits Sect, not Meizhou, so he can only give up.
This name Lian Tang has been entangled for a few days, compared to Dong Huanian, this person is more persevering, as long as Qian Chao goes out, he will follow behind, from time to time to come over with a respectful attitude, gentle words have nothing to say, once Qian Chao because of the refining of the Dan furnace, went to Qixia Mountain to find Yan Xuan, entered the Nanyutang and looked at the alchemy furnace there, this Lian Xuan also followed all the way, which made Yan Xuan also curious, after listening to Qian Chao's explanation, Yan Xuan actually sighed, as if he also encountered the same trouble.
After a few days, they felt bored and even more courageous, and one day in front of Qian Chao's door in front of so many people gathered to reprimand Qian Chao, but Qian Chao didn't give him a chance, and directly slammed the door to shut his tirade out.
What's wrong with these guys, could it be that the other more famous senior brothers and sisters in the sect are like this?
As soon as Qian Chao inquired, he was surprised to find that the situation in the sect was calm, and those senior brothers and sisters were doing everything as usual!
In other words, only Qian Chao is entangled every day.
This...... But there's something interesting.
He vaguely felt that there might be someone behind this incident.
On this day, Qian Chaoxin refined a few spiritual weapons, all of which had never been refined before, so he quietly went out to find a secluded place to test it, the effect was good, and when he returned satisfied, he saw from a distance that a large number of people had gathered in front of his door, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart, although he could go around the back and fall directly into the courtyard, but this is in the sect, if his residence is still so sneaky, wouldn't it be too embarrassing, thinking of this, The unhappiness in his heart had turned into a bit of anger, and he fell down early and walked towards those people.
And as the tide of money came, those people all looked at him.
"Coming, coming......"
"I didn't dare to ...... when I heard that I should fight"
"Is that cowardly?"
"Hey......
Qian Chao was about to ask these people who were instructed by someone to come to him every day, but this time before he could speak, a strong guy in front of the crowd shouted:
"Hey, you're Qian Chao?"
"Exactly."
"Fight with me, do you dare?"
"Don't dare."
Qian Chao pushed open the courtyard door as he spoke.
"You...... How can you be so timid? Still not a man! ”
Hearing this, Qian Chao turned around and stared at the guy who looked like a strong man:
"In the next has always been timid, abide by the rules of the sect, but don't dare to make a move in the sect, although there is a little name in the next place, but how can you easily let you shallow guys take it, hum, want to make a name for yourself in the sect, the way is that there are many brothers and sisters who have been famous for a long time, they are not like me, they are all hot tempers, as long as you come to the door, they will definitely be willing to learn from you, no matter whether you win or lose, as long as you fight with them, you also have a little reputation, hum, Do you dare not provoke them, or do you think that my cultivation is the lowest and my means are the weakest? You only dare to pester me every day, well, it really makes me unable to look down on you. Oh, by the way, next year's test, I don't want to go on stage, and I don't pose a threat to you children of the family, so don't harass me in the future! ”
After saying that, Qian Chao turned around and was about to close the door, but the one "snapped", and a big hand slapped on the door, and the big man stopped Qian Chao from closing the door, and stepped into the door.
"Hmph, cowardice is cowardice, and you are so hard-mouthed, and you have found so many words with a clever tongue, it seems that people say that those things about you must be fake, you are a villain who sells your reputation!"
"Hah!" Qian Chao was so angry that he laughed instead, "That's right, you're right, I'm a villain who sells fame and reputation, if I'm like you who have just come to the Five Spirits Sect, and you are greedy for fame and unwilling to be lonely, you will definitely measure yourself first, and then inquire carefully, those powerful ones must not be provoked, you can only find a soft persimmon that has some reputation and doesn't look great, and pinch it well, right?" Hmph, get out! ”
"You're ......!" The strong man was a little angry, and he was really not an opponent of Qian Chao.
"Hmph, you'd better ask about the rules of the sect, it's strictly forbidden to do it in the sect, violators will be closed, and uninvited entry is also a violation of the rules of the sect, if you don't go out, I'll go to the senior brother of the sect and say that you forcibly invade my residence, no matter what kind of great family you are, if you break the rules of the sect, you won't be expelled if you don't wait for next year's test!"
"You...... Hum! When the big man heard this, he quickly retracted the foot that had stepped in.
With a "bang", the door of Qian Chao was immediately closed.
"Coward, huh, let's go!"
Hearing the movement of those people outside disappearing, Qian Chao suppressed the anger in his chest and shook his head again.
This kind of thing was completely unexpected, he thought that on the day of next year's encumbrance, maybe someone would challenge him, and he would just deal with it when the time came, but he never expected that these children of the family would find him first, which really made him both annoyed and helpless.
Speaking of fame, the five people of Qian Chao are loud enough in the sect, not only Qian Chao, Tang Ping is in Shuiyun Valley, Yan Xuan is in Qixia Mountain, Li Jian is in Mu Xiufeng and Lu Pingchuan is in Houtu Temple, they can all be regarded as very dazzling figures among the younger disciples, but among the five, only Qian Chao is now being entangled like this, naturally all this is not without reason.
First of all, Tang Ping and Lu Pingchuan, both of them have a teacher, and whether these two people have a teacher in the sect, or the elders, they are all characters who are not easy to mess with or even can't be provoked at all, so no one goes to trouble these two people, whether it is the disciples in the sect or those who have just entered the Five Spirits, they all know the depths.
Secondly, Li Jian is in Mu Xiufeng, although there are a large number of children from the family who have come to the sect recently, but there are very few who can enter Mu Xiufeng, and the sword cultivation disciples don't have to worry about the teacher, so Li Jian doesn't have to worry about it.
As for Yan Xuan, Senior Zhong has not returned yet, but there are indeed people who are playing the idea of Senior Zhong in the sect, waiting for Senior Zhong in the sect, and wanting his children to worship under Senior Zhong's door, although Yan Xuan has also encountered some troubles at present, but they are all minor troubles, and Tang Ping goes to her from time to time, and when she encounters, she will relieve her, so Yan Xuan's situation is also good.
Therefore, there is only a tide of money, and the name is loud; Second, there is no teacher yet, not to mention those disciples who have not apprenticed in the sect, even those children of the family who have just entered the sect feel that he will be a big threat. But compared to other disciples with famous names, such as Luo Ying and Ma Hu, Qian Chao's disadvantage is that his cultivation is not very high, only mid-level, and his reputation is too loud, which makes many children of the family who have just entered the sect have a lot of doubts and even illusions about him, thinking that they can gain benefits by defeating Qian Chao.
The children of the family who came to participate in the Grace Test must have passed the small five levels, everyone is in the middle level of refining qi, why do you have such a loud reputation, why can you do those incredible things, there must be exaggerated ingredients, it must be your Qian Chao deliberately spread your own rumors for the sake of apprenticeship, and boast of yourself as a god, since this is the case, it is better to take your money tide first, your reputation is loud, then defeat you, you will naturally become the character who replaces you, whether it is apprenticeship or simply a happy heart, It's time to give it a try.
So Qian Chao is annoyed by such people these days!
