On the streets of the town, there are many candy sellers and many children who come to buy them.

A chubby boy, about seventeen or eighteen years old. I walked to an old man who sold candy and bought two candy men.

As soon as he was about to leave, he was stopped.

"Little buns!" Feng Hong shouted from behind.

Xiao Baozi turned his head and saw Feng Hong laughing: "Feng Hong, I was just about to look for you," he said and handed one of the sugar men to Feng Hong, "Give you one!" ”

Feng Hong was just about to take it, when Kong Yin suddenly flew over and took the sugar man away.

Kongyin: "I'll taste it for my master first." ”

Xiao Baozi looked at the empty sound, and then looked at the only sugar man left in his hand, a little embarrassed.

Feng Hong saw his embarrassment: "I won't eat it, you can eat it." ”

Xiao Baozi ate happily, "Fenghong, tomorrow is the deadline to go up the mountain, let's set off early tomorrow morning!" ”

Feng Hong: "Okay! ”

The one who is called the little bun is Chu Shutong, who lives in the same town as Fenghong, and the family environment is similar to Fenghong, slightly better than Fenghong's family, and he also loves to read. However, he is not self-taught, his father is a teacher in the school, and he teaches him personally, and the tuition is saved.

Chu Shutong and Fenghong didn't go early because they were in Yizhou City, not far from Changye Temple, and planned to go again tomorrow morning, saying everything before dark in the afternoon.

The two were walking together, and Chu Shutong saw one of his neighbors.

"Hey, Wang Meixiang." Chu Shutong shouted at a girl.

The woman looked back and saw that it was Chu Shutong, and squeezed out a smile: "It's you!" ”

"We're going to take the Immortal Recruiting Exam tomorrow! Are you going or not? Chu Shutong shouted.

Hearing this, Wang Meixiang's face instantly became very complicated, on her face, you can see disappointment, loss, sadness, envy, jealousy, anger, and then specifically describe these expressions on her face in turn, because each expression switches quickly, so people can't understand which one it is?

Maybe both!

Because of poverty, many people in the town have never studied or even read and can not read, especially girls.

But Chu Shutong was a little arrogant, so he didn't take it seriously, didn't care, and blurted out, but this sentence deeply stung Wang Meixiang.

"I—I don't really want to go!" Wang Meixiang squeezed out a smile with difficulty.

But Chu Shutong didn't notice this, and continued to stimulate her: "Why don't you want to go?" It's good to try it, there are so many people! People all over the country go to ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a woman: "What are you going to do?" Yes? Just the two of you still want to become immortals? How many young ladies are there in the country, what do you two compare to them? After speaking, he patted Wang Meixiang on the back, "Asked you to chop wood, you came here to chat?" They are still literate in their dreams, and you don't look at yourself, and you dare to be whimsical in broad daylight if you don't know the words? Don't think about useless things! ”

Chu Shutong was a little stunned when he heard it, yes, how can he compare with those rich and powerful sons like this?

Feng Hong patted Chu Shutong lightly: "No one cares what your identity is this time, how about Brother Gongzi?" What if it's a prince? We are all the same in this exam! ”

Chu Shutong sighed: "Fenghong, I know what you mean, but," he sighed again: "Those sons and brothers have been taught by famous Confucians since they were children, and I only have a teacher like my father to teach me, this gap must be very big!" ”

Feng Hong shook her head: "Shutong, we can't choose our own origin and destiny, but we can become what we become." No matter how good their husbands teach them, we can also learn what they have learned, because books can be read regardless of whether they are high or low, not that the books they read when they were born are better than ours, we can also read and learn what they can read and learn. They may be much faster than us in terms of learning efficiency, but I believe that as long as we work harder and spend more time than them, it will be perfectly fine to catch up with them or even surpass them. ”

Chu Shutong raised his head when he heard this, looking at Feng Hong and still not believing: "Really? Can we really? ”

Feng Hong gave him an affirmative look: "Hmm! Yes, trust me! ”

Kongyin excitedly circled around Feng Hong: "Master, I believe in you, master, you are the best!" ”

Tai'an Palace, Tai'an Wang Yijing secretly walked deep into the back garden of his house, it stands to reason that no matter where he goes in his own house, he can be above board.

At this time, it was dark night, and it was dark in the back garden.

Yi Jing was cautious for fear of being discovered by others, walked to a rockery and stopped.

Slightly nervous, and a little cramped and restless, waiting.

After a while, I heard a few crows nearby suddenly and nervously fly away.

A person suddenly appeared on the rockery opposite Yi Jing, with his back to Yi Jing, wearing a big cloak, and his face couldn't be seen clearly.

"How many are there now?" The man spoke quietly.

Yi Jing is a first-class prince, but in front of this person, he is extremely respectful: "More than 3,000 plants." ”

The man burst out laughing, his hoarse voice particularly permeating the night.

Laughed and walked to Yi Jing's side, slowly took off the cloak, in the night, Yi Jing couldn't see it very clearly, but he could see one thing clearly, that is, one of the person's eyeballs was protruding, and the others couldn't see clearly.

This alone made Yi Jing gasp.

The man patted Yi Jing lightly and put his mouth close to Yi Jing's ear: "Well done, you are a great hero, it's time!" Hahaha......" Another burst of wild laughter, unscrupulous, arrogant.

Yi Jing only felt a chill, and the breath he exhaled seemed to be cold when he spoke!

Yi Jing was a little scared, he didn't know what the person in front of him was?

Is it a human or a ghost?

The man seemed to sense Yi Jing's fear.

"Don't be afraid, if you help me, I will naturally not treat you badly!" The voice was hoarse and cold.

In Yi Jing's uneasiness, the man smiled and walked deeper into the darkness, gradually disappearing.

Yi Jing stood in the dark for a long time before he slowly reacted, sat on the stone beside him with his legs weak, and took a big breath to calm the lack of oxygen caused by fear.

Yi Jing returned to the room, pacing back and forth, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

What did the man mean when he said it was time? What is he going to do?

Why wasn't it there before, but now it's here?

The lightless grass he let himself secretly plant said that it was for refining the elixir, why did he say that it was time to have more than 3,000 plants?

Could it be that there is any other use for this herb? Or is this not refining the elixir of life at all?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, Yi Jing began to panic, and then thought about Heavenly Court suddenly recruiting immortals. This person allows himself to grow herbs secretly, what does this person want to do? Could it have something to do with recruiting immortals?

Yi Jing didn't know what to do?

For he does not know what this person is sacred, and he does not know what this person wants.

At the moment, although Yi Jing feels that if the herbs are given to this person, this person will definitely not do anything good, but how can he be safe if he doesn't give his own family?

I hope I think too much, this person is just a little strange, Yi Jing comforted himself.
