Section 4 Into the Mountain

The Tianlan Mountains are located on the northern border of the Han Kingdom, stretching for thousands of miles, with steep peaks and deep forests. Only this kind of inaccessible place is truly suitable for cultivation and becoming the sect of the Guiyuan Sect.

As soon as he walked into the mountain gate, Yang Tianhong immediately felt Lu Weiye's unique and prominent identity.

A young man dressed in black, about twenty years old, walked up quickly, bowed respectfully to Lu Weiye and the others, and saluted in order.

"Senior Uncle Lu, Senior Brother Kong, Senior Sister Su, I've worked hard all the way, I'm going to report to the sect master." His expression was extremely humble, and he bent over very widely, and his forehead almost touched the toe of his shoe.

According to the rules of the sect, monks who come back from traveling must meet the sect master as long as they are above the Jindan level.

Lu Weiye nodded and smiled, turned sideways, and pointed to Yang Tianhong, who had been bandaged on the road and covered in blood on the road, and said to the young man in black: "Don't be busy reporting for the time being." Hezhou, you take him down first, take a shower, and change into a set of clean clothes. ”

The black-clothed young man He Zhou looked at Yang Tianhong with eager eyes, and asked enviously, "Is this Uncle Lu's newly accepted disciple?" He Zhou is here to congratulate you first. ”

Lu Weiye shook his head and said lightly: "No, he is not an apprentice, just my servant." ”

……

Following behind He Zhou, although he couldn't see the other party's face, Yang Tianhong could clearly feel that He Zhou's attitude was no longer as enthusiastic as before, and it became extremely cold, as if he was just a stranger.

There is a world of difference between the identities of a disciple and a slave.

Heavy bluestone slabs pave the road through the mountains. At the end was a large manor, and the beams and pillars at the porch were so thick that at least two people could hug them. Directly above is a horizontal plaque, three large characters in the official script: "Ask the heart hall".

Hezhou's identity should be very unusual here. As soon as he walked into the door, two servants in blue clothes immediately stepped forward to greet him. After the transmission, a middle-aged woman with a fat waist and a satin palace dress walked out of the hall.

She's really fat, although not as exaggerated as Zhang Huahua, but her fat boobs and ass are a fact. The bun is very delicately combed, and the head is full of beaded hostas, but it does not make people feel beautiful at all, only a kind of discomfort that seems to be swallowed raw lard and stuck in the middle of the throat.

Seeing Hezhou, the middle-aged fat woman was very surprised: "Senior Brother He, I haven't seen you for a long time." Hahahaha, which gust of wind blew you over? ”

Her mouth was wide open, her laughter was extremely open, and she was full of joy from the heart.

Yang Tianhong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his eyes.

No matter how she dresses or looks, the fat woman's age looks far more than Hezhou.

The former is at least forty years old, and the latter is not more than twenty-five at most.

However, things are so weird, she just calls Hezhou "senior brother"?

He Zhou's face was still the same cold look, and he pointed to Yang Tianhong next to him: "This is Uncle Lu's newly accepted servant." Clean him up and change his clothes. ”

"Oops! What a handsome little offspring! ”

The fat woman stepped forward quickly, hugged Yang Tianhong's shoulders affectionately, although she was greeting, her eyes stayed on He Zhou, her eyes were extremely earnest and fiery: "Senior Brother He, I just made pheasant stewed black mushrooms here, which is very delicious." It's rare that you have time to come over, so be sure to try it. ”

He Zhou was not moved at all, looked at the fat woman coldly, snorted lightly, and said sarcastically: "It's better to keep it for yourself!" ”

……

He Zhou didn't stay even for a second.

Following the two Tsing Yi servants and the fat woman, Yang Tianhong dragged his injured leg and staggered into the Hall of Questions.

The fat woman sat down on a large chair in the middle of the hall, and although her face was full of disappointment, she quickly recovered. The gaze that fell on Yang Tianhong also changed from the initial kindness to indifference and sharpness, with a faint hint of ruthlessness.

"You are Uncle Lu's servant, not a disciple?"

The woman clearly wanted to reconfirm this. Yang Tianhong could only nod honestly: "Yes." ”

The question continues: "Where is your home?" ”

"Chengyang County, Lianzhou, Zhangjia Village."

The fat woman showed an undisguised sneer on her face: "It turned out to be a farmer." ”

Yang Tianhong didn't answer, lowered his head, and silently stared at his toes.

"There are a lot of people in the Askshin Hall, and things are very complicated. My name is Song Zhiyan, and I am the hall master here. ”

Suddenly, Yang Tianhong heard a seemingly ordinary sentence from the mouth of the fat woman Song Zhiyan.

"All miscellaneous matters inside and outside the sect are in charge of the Asking Heart Hall. Tell me, what do you think you can do? ”

Yang Tianhong wanted to open his mouth and say the words "I am Master Lu's servant". But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly thought of an extremely critical question.

Hezhou has already identified himself.

Judging from Song Zhiyan's previous attitude, it is obvious that she has special feelings for Hezhou. Whether it is public or private, Song Zhiyan should not say this kind of question.

With instinctive vigilance, Yang Tianhong lowered his head and replied very sincerely: "I am panicking, let the Song Hall Master arrange it." ”

……

Like all monk sects, the Guiyuan sect is also divided into inner and outer gates.

Only disciples above the foundation building period are eligible to enter the inner gate.

Qi refining disciples, from the first to the tenth order, are the outer doors.

Every year, many teenagers with potential gather outside the mountain gate of Guiyuan Sect and be tested one by one.

Those who are judged to have spiritual roots are also qualified to become outer disciples.

However, not all inductees become monks. These teenagers must enter the realm of the first level of qi refining within a period of three years. Otherwise, he will be automatically excluded from the status of a disciple of the foreign sect, sent to the Asking Heart Hall, and become a subordinate servant of the Guiyuan Sect.

Yang Tianhong also learned later that Song Zhiyan's question actually had a deep meaning.

From a disciple of the Immortal Family to a miscellaneous servant, no matter who anyone is willing, they all feel extremely resentful, looking forward to the opportunity to return to the outer gate to cultivate.

Wenxintang needs a hard-working handyman, not an arrogant uncle.

After Yang Tianhong, two more outer disciples who could not refine qi were sent over. Faced with the same question raised by Song Zhiyan, they gave a normal answer.

"I don't work as a servant!"

"Lao Tzu wants to go back and continue to cultivate!"

At that moment, Yang Tianhong saw Song Zhiyan's oily and fat face, revealing an extremely cruel and gloating smile.

More than a dozen black-clothed servants on standby in the back hall, armed with sticks, swarmed up and knocked over these two guys who thought of themselves very highly. The attack was ruthless and heavy, without the slightest mercy.

As long as you don't beat people to death, you can still have a breath left, even if your hands and feet are seriously injured, you can still be cured by gold sore medicine.

Yes, it's the gold sore medicine, not the body forging pill given by Lu Weiye before.

The medicine is a powdered powder, black and gray. It's a terrible thing, and it looks like it's easy to associate with negative words like dirty, bacteria, and evil things.

Yang Tianhong felt that it was a ball of poop that had dried and crushed into crumbles.

Dan, the whole body is round, white and flawless, and even exudes a faint fragrance. Yang Tianhong had a deep understanding of this when he took it.

Although both have the effect of curing diseases and saving people, repairing injuries and healing the body, the actual effects are very different.

The immortal elixir is indeed wonderful.

Yang Tianhong was very lucky to escape the pain of flesh and skin.

Although Song Zhiyan is obese on the outside, she is not as stupid as outsiders seem. Although fat, it is not full of fat.

Punishment is only for those guys who don't have long eyes.

For self-aware people, Song Zhiyan will also make arrangements as appropriate.

Of course, there will be no shortage of servants around Lo Weiye. As a Jindan Grandmaster, even if it is the daily serving of tea and water, making beds and stacking quilts, there are many disciples of the inner door who are vying to do it.

Gou Jian tasted dung in order to take revenge and restore the country.

If you can get the appreciation of the immortal master, give guidance in cultivation, and give a pill, even if it is such a thing as "tasting dung", there are countless people who break their heads and fight to do it.

Therefore, the word "servant" should be understood from a broader perspective.

Recognize who you are and don't be delusional.

……

The Tianlan Mountains are undulating, extremely deep, and extremely wide.

The mountains and peaks are shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, making it difficult for birds of prey such as goshawks and golden eagles to enter.

It is the inner gate of the Guiyuan Sect, which is full of spiritual energy and suitable for cultivation. Disciples of the outer gate and below entered without permission, and they were all killed.

It is light to disturb the immortal master Qing Xiu and apologize for his sin with death.

In the middle of the mountains, the area with relatively gentle terrain belongs to the outer gate. There are also clouds and mist, but the pavilions and pavilions are faintly discerning, and although the abundance of spiritual energy is not as good as the peak of the mountain range, it is also a blessed land that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.

Further down, there is the outer hall of the Guiyuan Sect.

Ask the heart hall, the equipment hall, the medicine hall, the dining hall, the Mianjin hall...... All of them belong to the outer nave.

Yang Tianhong took the sign given by Song Yanzhi and followed the guidance to the south slope.

There is a courtyard with three entrances and three exits. At the top of the main entrance hangs a heavy black wooden plaque, engraved with four concave characters "Baili Wenxin".

This is one of the branch halls under the Asking Heart Hall, which is in charge of various chores.

A young man in green clothes stood guard at the door, checked the wooden sign handed over by Yang Tianhong, looked up and down, and said coldly: "Just wait here!" I'll give you a message. ”

Despite the other party's indifferent attitude, Yang Tianhong still showed a smile that made people look very comfortable, and bowed: "There is Senior Brother Lao." ”

On the way from the temple of inquiry, there is a pool. At that time, there was no one around, Yang Tianhong squatted by the pool and pretended to wash his hands, constantly adjusting his smile against the calm water.

In that world, there is a book from across the ocean, "The Greatest Salesman".

There is a paragraph in it that has become a deep imprint in Yang Tianhong's mind.

"Keep smiling no matter what the problem is. No matter who you meet, you have to show them your most charming smiley face. ”

When the author wrote this book, there was no internet, let alone a mobile phone. Advertising can only be disseminated through print media and outdoor display platforms. Salesmen were a common profession at the time, wearing suits and carrying suitcases, knocking on doors and selling products based on their eloquence and charisma.

When the reporter asked the secret of the success of the million-dollar salesman, he replied: I spent more than half a year constantly adjusting my facial muscles in the mirror, and finally chose the most charming smile.

Reach out and don't hit the smiley person. What's more, Yang Tianhong is just a nine-year-old child. Although he has been abused by Zhang Huahua for a long time, his face is a little hungry, but his eyes are bright, and his smile is mixed with the innocence unique to children, coupled with his politeness and humble attitude, the guard in Tsing Yi nodded subconsciously, and his tense face was slightly soothed.

"Hehe, you're pretty good." With that, he turned and walked towards the hall.

"Thank you, brother!" Yang Tianhong bowed his hand again towards the other party's back, and an imperceptible smile flashed in his eyes.

Although it was only a few simple questions and answers with the guards of Baili Hall, he was able to gather some extremely important information.

The word "general" is not a casual one.

The status of the Tsing Yi guard is equivalent to the security guard of the communication room in the world where Yang Tianhong was originally located.

As the saying goes: Hades is easy to see, but imps are difficult.

For example, if someone goes to a certain unit to do an errand, the security guard will definitely stop you when you enter the door, ask you what you do, who you are looking for, and take out a large notebook and ask you to write down your name, phone number, and visit time.

This is the treatment of ordinary people.

If you are in a suit and leather shoes, with an extraordinary bearing, driving a luxury car, accompanied by a young and beautiful female secretary, although the security guard guarding the door will also ask you who you are looking for, the inquiry process will definitely be much shorter, and you can even save the link of registering on paper.

Yang Tianhong just came to this strange world, the original owner of the crossing is a poor child, Zhang Huahua and Li Erniu are farmers, and it is impossible for all the conditions to make the Tsing Yi guards "Tongyu".

The only possibility is Lu Weiye.

However, the question arises againβ€”β€”β€”β€” since it is because of Lu Weiye, why are the Tsing Yi guards cold?

This doesn't make sense.

The Tsing Yi guard came back soon, he beckoned to Yang Tianhong, and pointed to the passage that was left sideways: "Go in!" ”

Passing through the corridor, there is a main house in the style of a bucket arch. The living room is very large, the ground is paved with green bricks, calligraphy and paintings are hung on the snow-white wall, the furniture style is simple, there is a bonsai in the corner of the house, and a few green bamboo and willows are inserted in the white porcelain long-necked bottle on the table, which looks elegant as a whole.

An old man in a moon-white robe sat on a chair on the left side of the main hall. He had gray hair, a sparse beard, and two smooth and shiny iron galls in his left hand.

Yang Tianhong stood still more than three meters away from the old man, and bowed very obediently: "Under Yang Tianhong, I have seen Deacon Zhang. ”

When he came, he inquired, and the deacon in charge of "Baili Inquiry" was named Zhang Yongxiang, who was 79 years old this year.

Zhang Yongxiang had already seen the sign sent in by the Tsing Yi guards before. He looked at Yang Tianhong standing in the hall, and couldn't help laughing: "How old are you, you are still a child." ”

Yang Tianhong deliberately hid his clumsiness, and followed the other party's words and said: "The kid is not talented, he is nine years old." ”
