In Daqian,

100 households are one mile, and there is one person in the house.

Five miles is a township, and the elderly are alone.

As the peak master, Chen Yu naturally couldn't personally handle the recruitment of disciples, so this matter naturally fell on Lu Qi's shoulders.

In addition to following the past way of the Wenxing County Ya, Lu Qi also personally visited the lieutenants of the surrounding areas in the next few days, drawing one big cake after another, and striving to do the first errand assigned by the peak master perfectly.

……

Wenxing County, Niluo Village.

The slender willow whipped the scarred trunk of the tree under the agitation of the cold wind, and the dirt road after the rain seemed to be ruthlessly ravaged, and the muddy water mixed with the dung, and the slightest carelessness stepped on the slimy lump.

Luzhou is located in the southwest border of the Daqian Dynasty, although it has not experienced serious wars for many years, but due to the perennial shortage of armaments in the northern part of the Great Qian, the people's heads have also been apportioned a lot of taxes, and life is naturally not much better.

On the edge of Niluo Village, a simple house.

Most of the courtyard walls collapsed, the thatched huts that leaked rain, and the dustpans and baskets scattered in the courtyard under the beating of wind and rain......

At a glance, you can see that this farmer must be a family of mules and horses, even if it is not a generation of cattle and horses.

Shen Kui numbly tidied up the courtyard after the rain, looking preoccupied.

The Shen family's family background was actually quite good, Shen Kui's father was the only talent who had ever been born in Niluo Village over the years, but unfortunately he was jealous of the talent, and somehow he suffered tuberculosis, leaving only orphans and widows to depend on each other.

Fortunately, Shen Kui's mother is still in good health, and the family can barely survive on the inherited fields.

But just two days ago, Li Zheng from Niluo Village came here in person, probably to repay Shen Kui's father's kindness before his death, and passed on an inconspicuous news to Shen Kui.

said that Luo Xiaoshan, who was not far from here, was going to recruit some handymen to be errands, and Li Zheng came here to mention it and suggested that he try his luck there.

After that, he is also a showman, and he is one of the few people in Niluo Village who can read and write.

And such an opportunity is indeed rare.

Because in the land of Daqian, even the errands of miscellaneous servants are basically passed down from father to son, and the major sects rarely solicit outsiders.

Although the peasant families are tied to the land for life, if there is a sect, there is no longer such a restriction, so if it can be regarded by Luo Xiaoshan, it can be regarded as a good beauty difference for the common people.

What's more, according to Li Zheng, Luo Xiaoshan didn't know what kind of wind he was pumping this time, and he even promised to screen out people with good qualifications as disciples among the miscellaneous servants!

This has to be a good thing that the ancestral tomb smokes and the ancestors can only encounter when they lift the coffin board.

Although the requirements are extremely strict, for the people of Wenxing County, it is already the first time in the world!

The four walls of the family would not have the qualifications to touch the cultivation path, but if he could stand out among the miscellaneous servants......

Thinking of this, Shen Kui couldn't help but clench his fists.

The door was pushed open with a creak, and Shen's mother stared at her contemplative son in the courtyard, and said, "You can go with confidence, if your father is still alive, he will definitely not let you miss such an opportunity." ”

"But if I'm gone, won't my mother be alone, if ......?"

"Looking ahead and looking back, cowering, it is difficult to achieve great things! My body and bones are not so good that I can't even plow a few acres of land, but you, your father still know how to compete for talent, but it's a pity that your life is hard...... Do you want the Shen family to take root in the acre and third of the land in Niluo Village forever?! Mother Shen scolded angrily.

Hearing this, Shen Kui was like an initiation, ignoring the muddy water in the courtyard, and kowtowed a few times: "Mother rest assured, the child will definitely get ahead and not disgrace the lintel!" To comfort my father's spirit in heaven! ”

"The entanglements on the road are ready for you, let's go to Luoxiao Mountain tomorrow to try your luck!" Mother Shen turned her head and hid the tears from the corners of her eyes.

……

Wenxing County Ya.

Liu Ping, the county magistrate, looked at the piece of paper sent from Xiao Aofeng and fell into deep thought.

Although it is only a small county order, Liu Ping is keenly aware that he may be standing at the crossroads of fate at this time.

He was not only the person who accompanied Qian Li, the commander of the imperial camp of the Luzhou Town Guard, to go up the mountain to enclose the land that day, but also one of the few people who had seen Chen Yu's strength.

The new peak master of Xiaoao Peak, that is an old monster who has lived for thousands of years! Even the martial arts power of the Blood Ascension Realm can be broken with a snap of a finger!

Liu Ping has two sons under his knees.

The eldest son, Liu Ying, is brilliant, and under his arrangement, he is now making every effort to prepare for the township test next year.

The second son, Liu Xi, is not interested in dancing and writing, and has been looking forward to being able to set foot in martial arts and practice supreme skills.

If nothing else, Liu Ping will most likely order his second son Liu Xi to go to the lecture hall in Hejiang Mansion to practice martial arts after the spring of the next year.

However, at this time, an old ancestor who deceived the corpse appeared in Luo Xiaoshan.

All kinds of stakes flew through Liu Ping's mind,

finally

He raised his head and said to his second son, Liu Xi, who was a little dazed: "Don't go to martial arts, I think Luo Xiaoshan is probably a good place to go." ”

"Luo Xiaoshan?"

Liu Xi was a little confused.

Didn't you say that you were going to study in the lecture hall in Hejiang Mansion? Why are you going to go to the Dao in the blink of an eye?!

"Xiaoao Peak among the nine peaks of Luoxiao Mountain, its peak master Chen Yu's strength is unfathomable, and he is a rare person who has attained the Tao." Liu Ping is colorful.

"But isn't Xiaoao Peak just a waste peak? Even if there is a peak master now, maybe one day it will be gone......" Liu Xi expressed puzzlement at his father's statement.

"Nonsense!"

In this regard, Liu Xi vigorously argued:

"Why is it all nonsense? Xiaoao Peak has been abandoned for many years, and everyone in Wenxing County knows it, and besides, how can there be any entry when you meditate cross-legged all day long? If I go to Xiaoao Peak, what's the difference between me and those gentlemen who can't cultivate martial arts?! ”

"I want to cultivate martial arts! Slay the demons! ”

"Dao Xiu can also slay demons and eliminate demons." Liu Ping's volume couldn't help but increase a few points.

"But didn't you say before that you would send me to the Jingwu Hall in Shanghejiang Mansion, and you also know the cultivation speed of Dao cultivation......

"That's why you went to Xiaoao Peak! It is precisely because Xiao Ao Feng has been abandoned for many years and there are no disciples at all that you are more likely to get a personal mention from Lord Chen Feng. Although martial arts are thriving now, the path of Taoist cultivation should not be underestimated! ”

"Fathers don't lie to you, if you miss this opportunity, then it's too late for you to regret it. But...... After all, this matter still depends on how you choose, so let it go......" Liu Ping sighed and said helplessly.

Liu Xi looked at his father and said tentatively with some uncertainty:

"Go to Xiaoao Peak to cultivate, can you really kill demons and eliminate demons?"

"As long as Lord Chen Feng is willing to give you such an opportunity, you can!"

"Since my father said so...... Then I'll give it a try! ”

At this moment, Liu Xi seemed to remember the longing he had when he was a child.

Edgeworth, floating out of the dust.

Immortal wind bones, demon defense road.

But the decline of Taoist cultivation can only gradually bury this vision in my heart, so I hope to choose a more realistic path of martial cultivation.

But now,

Since his father admires Xiao Aofeng so much,

Then you may be able to take a look with your own eyes and see what is different about this little Ao Peak!
