Three years later, it was another cool autumn.

September twilight always comes quickly, the red sun is sinking in the west, and the coolness in the valley is getting stronger. The mist swirled down the mountain, casting a cloudy color over the fiery red maple leaves in the mountains. Looking along the mountain road, a thin figure shuttled through it.

She was carrying a bamboo basket and leaning against it with a light hoe. Today's harvest is quite abundant, bamboo shoots, sweet fruits, and wild vegetables have been harvested. She happily hummed a tune-out tune and turned into the thick jungle. On the other side of the jungle, there was a hidden house.

The eaves hung low, the wooden windows were propped up from the inside out, and through the hollowed out carved windows, an old man could be seen standing in front of the window, his face was gloomy, and when he saw the girl coming back, he asked, "Fanxing, you tore this book?" ”

Fan Xing put down the bamboo basket, strode up the steps, looked at the broken pages on the table through the window, and calmly explained: "Yes, there is no hay to start a fire at home, so I simply tore a few pages and used them." ”

"Then don't tear up the book."

"Don't be annoyed, old man, I have memorized the contents of this book, and I'll copy another copy for you."

The old man sighed helplessly, turned around and went to sort out the broken pages on the table.

Fan Xing suddenly laughed evilly, trotted into the house, and asked him with starry eyes, "Do you remember what day it will be in three days?" ”

The old man sat down at the table, picked up a brush and replied as he wrote, "Your birthday." ”

"Do you remember what you promised me? This year's birthday, put, me, out, mountain! ”

The old man stopped the pen in his hand and handed the written letter to Fan Xing: "The old man has not forgotten, this is the document for participating in the Heavenly Realm Apprenticeship Meeting, and you can sign up with it." ”

"What is the Heavenly Realm Apprenticeship? I haven't heard you say that before. ”

"The Heavenly Realm Apprenticeship Meeting is held once every five years, and both the human race and the demon clan can participate, as long as they can pass the assessment, they will have the opportunity to apprentice to the immortals, and when they cultivate in the Heavenly Realm, they can soar to become immortals as soon as possible."

"You want me to go to immortal cultivation?"

"The old man has a wish that has not been fulfilled, if you can realize it for the old man, the old man will have no regrets in this life."

Fan Xing thought about it, and it was time to repay the favor.

Three years ago, the old man picked her up from the mountains with no memory and named her "Fan Xing", providing food and shelter, and taking care of her meticulously. She also celebrates the day she picked it up as her birthday and celebrates it every year.

If it weren't for the old man, maybe he would have died in the barren mountains and mountains. Now that the old man is expressing her wish, she is willing to try her best.

Fan Xing asked him, "Is it the wish of cultivating immortals?" ”

The old man bowed: "The old man was fortunate to be rescued by an immortal when he was young, and people called him Cangyuan Shenjun, he is the god of war in the heavenly realm. Since that day, the old man has wanted to work hard to cultivate immortals and worship under his seat. It's a pity that he doesn't accept apprentices, and the old man's ability is insufficient, and he has never passed the assessment. ”

"A few days ago, the old man went down the mountain and heard that this year's apprenticeship meeting Shenjun opened a precedent and prepared to accept apprentices. But the old man has more than enough heart but not enough strength, if you can become the apprentice of Cangyuan Shenjun, it can be regarded as helping the old man fulfill his lifelong wish. ”

Fan Xing puffed out half of his face, and thought for a moment with a sad face: "But I am a mortal who can't use spells, how can I go to heaven to apprentice." ”

The old man smiled: "The apprenticeship will have its own Heavenly Realm Immortals to receive candidates, and the assessment is divided into two parts, one is the written test, and the other is the seal, both of which are not in the sky. You can rest assured that in the past three years, the old man has taught you to read and write, and also taught you simple seal gestures, these things are enough. ”

Fan Xing was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: Then didn't you pass the assessment......

"Besides, the old man knows that you yearn for a life in the outside world. But in the human race, the women in the city are all out of the gate, and your wish to travel through the world may be difficult to achieve. It's better to learn from a teacher, and then use your mana to be a free and scattered immortal. This can not only fulfill the wish of the old man, but also fulfill your wish. ”

After hearing these words, Fan Xing's nose suddenly became sour, he didn't expect the old man to think so thoughtfully!

"I promise you, old man! I will do my best to assess and strive to become the apprentice of Cangyuan Shenjun! ”

The old man smiled with satisfaction: "Pack up your things in the past two days, review the seals you learned before, and the old man will take you out of the mountain in three days." ”

"Good!" Fan Xing was just about to get up, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took out a little rabbit made of dogtail grass from his clothes pocket, "I'm sending you!" ”

The old man held the rabbit, his heart warmed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise again. Looking at the back of Fan Xing leaving, he muttered to himself, "It's time." ”

The day passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was late at night.

The mountains and forests are quiet, and the only sound in the house is the sound of the sleeping breath of Fan Xing.

Before the old man could go to bed, he came outside the house, closed the door gently, and suddenly turned into a young man.

The eaves of the house cast shadows in the moonlight, hanging over his face, making it impossible to see who it was.

When he walked down the steps, his face was fully revealed, it turned out to be the Divine Monarch Cangyuan Baiyu!

Then, he turned into a glimmer of light and went straight to the heavenly realm.

At this time, inside the hall of the court.

Xingyuan Immortal Monarch is reporting to the Heavenly Emperor on matters related to this year's Heavenly Realm Apprenticeship Meeting. Seeing Cangyuan Baiyu coming in in a hurry, the two thought that something important had happened, but they heard an incredible request.

"Emperor of Heaven." Cangyuan Bai Yu said, "The minister has a reluctant request, and this year's apprenticeship minister also wants to participate." ”

The Heavenly Emperor put down the roster in his hand and asked seriously: "In previous years, you never thought about accepting disciples, why did you suddenly change your attention?" ”

"Back to the Emperor of Heaven, the minister has recently thought about it, as a divine monarch, he must not only ensure the stability of the world, but also preach and receive karma. If you can accept an apprentice to cultivate, it can also be regarded as a contribution to the heavenly realm. ”

The Emperor of Heaven thought about it: "It's okay, but the matter of collecting apprentices is laborious, and you still have to find a way to destroy demons, I'm afraid that you don't have the skills." ”

"Hey—the Emperor doesn't have to worry!" Xingyuan Immortal Monarch suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two and said, "Cangyuan Divine Monarch has always been rigorous and neat. In the past three years, I have been working hard to find a way, and if there is a little apprentice by my side, I can also change my brain to relieve my fatigue. That's a good thing! ”

The Heavenly Emperor felt that it was not unreasonable: "It's okay, if you feel inappropriate after accepting the apprentices, you can change to the constellation of Xingyuan." ”

When Xingyuan Immortal Jun heard this, a smile froze on his face.

Good guy, this is a good intention to do bad things, and I dug a hole for myself!

He sighed silently, and comforted himself in his heart: It's okay, it's all for my good colleagues.

"Okay, that's all for today." The Emperor turned to leave, and the two of them bowed and saluted.

Seeing the Emperor of Heaven walking away, Xingyuan couldn't bear it, and pulled Cangyuan Baiyu over: "I said, why do you suddenly want to accept apprentices?" Something is wrong, something is very wrong! ”

"It's just an apprentice, don't think too much about it."

"Shhh

Cangyuan Baiyu was silent, pushed his hand away and turned around to leave.

Seeing this, Xingyuan didn't want to ask, so he had to wave his hand: "Oh, don't ask, don't ask!" I found two jars of drunken flower brew from elsewhere, and I have been storing them in the temple and I am not willing to drink them, and I have nothing to do today, do you want to go to my temple to drink two cups? ”

"Thank you, Xianjun, I still have something."

"Tsk! Why have you been running around lately? Really. Xingyuan always thought he was weird, and he was curious enough to find out.

As soon as Cangyuan Baiyu left, he followed: "Benjun wants to see what you are doing sneakily." ”

Xingyuan hid his immortal aura and quietly followed him.

I saw Cangyuan fly into a big mountain in the world, and then follow the winding mountain road through the jungle, and finally entered a house.

Xingyuan hid outside the house, tiptoeing through the window to see a sleeping woman.

His eyes widened, he pushed the door directly in, and rushed to Cangyuan with a look of disbelief: "How can you hide Jiao in the golden house!" ”
