Chapter 2: Seeking Immortals (Part II)

Counting up, it has been more than a year since the He family moved to the capital, and He Qing has naturally heard the famous 'Legend of Seeking Immortals', but he never thought that one day, he would be able to receive such an 'invitation letter' that is enough to change the fate of ordinary people.

He Qing sighed, since receiving this letter, he was happy, but also full of uneasiness, I heard that everyone who can go to the fairy island above the sky to study, all of them are the pride of the sky, whether it is family background or their own talents, they are not comparable to ordinary people...... Can I stay in that place, a poor child who was lost in my childhood?

Last night, He Qing tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep for a long time, until it was almost dawn, and then closed his eyes for a while...... Even at this moment, He Qing is still a little confused, and he doesn't know if there are many bundles? Although the invitation letter specifically states that if you can pass the assessment, even if you can't pay the 'tuition' due to family reasons, you can apply for a student loan...... Student loans? He Qing blinked, although he didn't quite understand, but when he listened to the explanation of the people in the government, the general meaning was that the poor could not pay or pay less.

However, after all, I don't know the specific situation, in case even after the reduction, the family can't afford it, even if I am disappointed, my sister will probably be more sad than my own family......

At this time, at the thick door curtain, there was a faint smell of meat, He Qing's nose twitched, and he immediately swallowed his saliva, no longer caring about those messy thoughts, covering his stomach, casually boarding the cloth shoes, and running out.

As soon as I went out, I saw my sister lying on the side of the dusty stove, a little face was very serious, and her expression was also focused and serious, her slightly rough hands, holding a wooden spoon with a large piece of black lacquer missing from the handle, stirring a pot of porridge vigorously...... I think He Hong didn't know when he would get up, so he kept staying up, and he didn't know how long he had been staying up......

Now, the pot of porridge has been cooked to a fragrant aroma, the rice grains in the pot are full, and a few pieces of wild vegetables floating on it are also very green and lush, which seduces people's appetite.

He Qingzheng is young, his appetite is very big, the so-called half size, eating old and old, even if there are neighbors to help him on weekdays, he can only eat three points at most, at this time, he is wearing an old robe that has been washed and whitened, the robe is obviously changed from his father's, probably because his height is still growing, deliberately made a little bigger, which will show off his thin body even more, as if it will fall when the wind blows.

Standing at the door of the small kitchen, he was first surprised by the excessive amount of meat in the pot of rice, and then heard his sister cooing in his stomach, and pursed his lips tightly, and his throat was also constantly swallowing saliva, and he was very distressed, his sister was very good-looking, like his mother, with beautiful facial features, but the withered yellow hair and rough skin all proved his incompetence as an elder brother, not only did he not take good care of his sister, but he also wanted his sister to save rations for himself on weekdays......

He Hong turned around when he heard the voice, and saw that the eldest brother was awake, and immediately showed eight white teeth, and quickly scooped a large bowl of porridge with his hands and feet, and stuffed it into his hand: "Brother is up?" Eat, eat. ”。

He Qing saw that she didn't look into the pot, but only urged herself to eat, her eyes were sour: "Good sister, you eat too, come, sit down and eat together." ”

"I got up early, I've already eaten, big brother, let's eat quickly." He Hong squinted his eyes, suddenly remembered something, strode into the house, and took out a brand-new blue robe, with a pair of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles buttoned on it, "Brother, this is my newly made clothes, wait until you finish eating to see if it fits, hehe, you go to the assessment, why do you have to dress up neatly." ”

He Qingqiang held back his tears, with a smile on his face, pretending that he didn't see a little rice soup and wild vegetables in the broken black pot hidden under the lid of the pot, and only took his sister's hand: "Good sister, my brother knows that you are skillful, come, even if you are full, you have to drink a bowl of porridge, you have cooked so much, where can my brother finish drinking, this can't be put away, in case it is broken, wouldn't it be a waste." ”

He Hong's little face suddenly showed a hesitant look, and finally took the bowl and sat down next to He Qing.

The brother and sister finished their meal and sat side by side on the threshold for a while, and then it was time.

He Hong sorted out the burden of the blue cloth, stuffed some dry food into it, and some beef jerky, and sent the eldest brother all the way to the carriage sent by the Internal Affairs Office.

The carriage went all the way, and there were people coming up all the way, in addition to He Qing, there was also a scholar with a bamboo basket on his back, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and another thirteen or fourteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, and a royal blue cloak on his body.

He Qing was a little nervous, so he didn't talk much, obviously, the other people in the car also had their own thoughts, and they didn't have the desire to talk......

Tianjin Wei, Xunxian Street.

This street was not called Xunxian Street two years ago, it was just a seaside wasteland that could not even grow crops, and the fishy smell of the sea breeze could be faintly smelled, and the nearest village to it was also five miles away, probably only fishermen who went out to sea to fish, occasionally passing by, but, since the appearance of Xiandao, the Royal Ivy League Academy began to recruit students, the status of this place has risen rapidly day by day, and now, it is already famous.

Early this morning, the small merchants and vendors set up their stalls, and the restaurants, teahouses, and inns of all sizes on the street were all cleaned up, five-color lanterns were hung in front of the doors, and all kinds of flowers and bonsai were placed to open the doors to entertain guests.

They didn't wait long, as soon as the sun passed the treetops, there were many relatives of the students who participated in this year's assessment, or young people who did not receive invitations but wanted to try their luck, as well as rich brothers who also wanted to get a little fairy, came one after another, and before noon, all the places where people could live on the street became crowded, and for a while, all the bosses who did business here were simply happy to close their mouths.

The sun was setting, and as the carriages came one by one, He Qing and the young men who were also ignorant finally arrived at this place.

The teenagers lined up and walked on the bluestone road, and from time to time there were vendors pushing small carts on the roadside, selling snacks, amulets, and various so-called assessment tips......

He Qing tightly hugged the burden in his arms, he was quite at the front, in the fourth row, in front of him was a child who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, and the child also paid for a lot of gold, silver, copper, iron, and even paper amulets engraved with auspicious Ruyi, hung a full belt, and held an antique-looking picture album in his hand, reciting words.

He Qing became more and more nervous, he had no money to buy these things, and he didn't know if it would affect his assessment, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in front of him, and he stopped with the team, and when he looked up, he was stunned.

Not far away, on the endless sea, shrouded in clouds and mist, a huge ship suddenly appeared, like a shock, and swept across the vast and endless sea in an instant......

People saw that the exclamation of the ship had not yet fallen, the ship had already stopped safely on the coast, no one saw where it came from, it was as if it had fallen from the sky, He Qing listened to the increasingly heavy wheezing around him, and even he himself gasped.

He has seen a ship, and he has been on a boat, but such a behemoth, but it is the first time in his life to see, the hull is pitch black, there is a faint silver streamer flickering on it, under the light of the setting sun, the hull of ten zhang long, three zhang high, like a giant dragon, the bow of the two huge night pearls, is the dragon eye, and those docked in the port, usually look quite huge and luxurious all kinds of ships, compared with it, it is simply the gap between the dragon and the shrimp......

"Coming, coming......"

There was another commotion in the procession, but it soon fell silent, for four young men had stepped down from the boat, and their movements were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had reached the high platform in front of the procession.

Because He Qing was closer, he could clearly see the appearance of the four men's clothes, their clothes were not luxurious, they were all the same dark blue robes, only the neckline and sleeves were dotted with some mysterious patterns, and he wore a small round silver twinkle on his left chest, on which were silver-green vines, I don't know if he was dazzled, he actually felt that the vines seemed to be alive, swinging branches in the wind from time to time......

The material of these four people's clothes is also very different, very hard, reflecting their figures slender and straight, of course, they themselves are also straight, have a special temperament, and have a gentle and just right smile on their faces, which makes people feel good at first sight.

"Everyone, from now on, even if your assessment begins, as your seniors, I only warn you with one sentence, that is-don't take a step back"

This is the person on the Empty Immortal Island, and it is really different from ordinary people, just when He Qingzheng, like most teenagers, looked at the four people in front of him with envy and admiration, one of them suddenly spoke.

The volume of the man's speech was not too high, he was very calm and peaceful, but the team of seven hundred people, from beginning to end, everyone could hear it clearly, He Qing suddenly felt a burst of fire in his heart - he also imagined that these four people, in front of thousands of people, in front of those first-class officials, dignitaries, still stood straight, their heads held high, and their eyes naturally showed a confident light.......
