Chapter 45: On the Thousand Snow Peaks

Meiying's sect Qianxue Peak, is named after the mountain, it is located on the Qianxue Peak, the top of the mountain accumulates 10,000 years of snow that does not melt for many years, towering into the clouds, looking at it from a distance, it is a blue-white glazed fairyland, the top of the Qianxue Peak is frosty and heavy, it has always been the famous beauty of the East Soil.

“...... The houses of this sect are all built on the mountainside, and the part above the mountainside is not allowed to enter without permission, and it is extremely cold over there, and those who cannot cultivate it are likely to freeze to death and die if they rush up. ”

After Ye Jielin left, Mei Ying took Meng Yan and began to tell him some basic knowledge of Qianxue Peak, and said her plans.

"After I take you back to the mountain, I will arrange a quiet place for you to live, nominally you are my new disciple, in fact, you will enjoy the treatment of a guest, all food and clothing are guaranteed, you can study your martial arts there, and when the wind outside, you can stay or go out. ”

"Wait a minute, why do I sound so weird?" Meng Yan frowned and said, "I was just taken back by you, thrown to some secret place, and served with good food and clothing...... Am I a pet or your little husband?"

Meng Yan's questioning made Mei Ying instantly rush to her head with a burst of anger, but after thinking about it, this is not bad, if you just get people back, all the black box operations, and some gossip will come out in the back, I don't know how ugly it will be?

"And what do you have in mind?"

"Why do you have to engage in a black box? Can't you go through the formal process? Qianxuefeng is a sect, not a family, so there won't be no apprentice pipeline, right? Or do you have some kind of bloodline restriction? I go directly through the formal channel, and I won't cause gossip. ”

"Frankly speaking......" Mei Ying said: "With your situation, if you go through the formal channel, I'm afraid you won't be able to choose at all, and you will be brushed off directly." ”

"Then give a little convenience, you can help say hello, or give a token or something, this little backdoor cheating, it should be very common, even if someone says something, it's better than misunderstanding that you raise a little man." ”

“...... It's hard for me to believe that you grew up in the mountains. ”

"You can't believe it, I can't help it, that's the case, thank you to my tutor, my dad taught me a lot. Meng Yan said: "My father said that the most delicious thing in the world is soft rice...... Don't have that kind of expression, he also said, because it is delicious, so you can't eat more, just stop tasting it, the delicious things in this world, eating too much is easy to kill...... So, I don't want you to do too much for me. ”

The young man's words initially made Mei Ying feel a little disdainful, but after hearing the most slush, the deep meaning in the words made Mei Ying think, and for Meng Yan's practice of not wanting to owe favors, she was even more impressed by this young man, nodded immediately, took out a hexagonal sigil from her arms, shaped like a snowflake crystal, ice white and thorough, and handed it to Meng Yan.

"This is a token of Qianxue Peak, this month coincides with the triennial selection of apprentices, you go directly to sign up, hand over the token when you are selected, and they will naturally do it for you. ”

"Okay, then let's not go over it for now, I'll see you later when I go up the mountain. ”

"Wait, I have some money here, you take it first, eat something, and then find a place to freshen up and take care of it, and buy a new clothes, otherwise...... I'm afraid you won't be able to get through. ”

It's been more than ten days since she left March Mountain, Ye Jielin has changed new clothes for Meng Yan on the road, and she no longer looks like the little beggar in the mountain, but the three of them are in a hurry, and after changing their clothes, they have no time to take care of the details, Meng Yan's appearance doesn't seem to be so commensurate, Mei Ying is worried about extraneous branches, so he asked him to tidy up first before going up the mountain.

The two sides are separated, here is a small town under the Qianxue Peak, called Xuemei Town, there are a lot of shops in the town, quite prosperous, many gate sects in the east have a similar situation, set up towns or cities near their own sects, some gate sects are even surrounded by three or four cities, the sects are supported by these cities, and these cities are also protected by the armed forces of the sects, and each has what it needs.

Xuemei Town is composed of six criss-crossing avenues, the center of the town is a plum garden, the flowers bloom luxuriantly, although it is on the flat ground, but the plum blossoms that bloom are ice white, crystal clear, like snowflakes gathering, scattering cold air outside, at a glance you know that it is a different species, the whole plum garden is like the world of the snow in the world, the scenery is like a fairyland.

There are walls and railings outside the plum garden, and there are some shops and wine shops outside, there are noisy people, there are many pedestrians and business travelers coming and going, such a lively situation, Meng Yan, who grew up in the mountains, has never seen it, and then looks at the money ingots in his palm, although he is not hungry in his stomach, but he still plans to go up the mountain after eating, and he walks towards the largest wine shop.

"Well, there's no seat, right? Where am I going to eat?"

When he arrived at the door of the liquor store, he was turned away, and the guy in the store casually pointed to a row of stalls on the side of the street, "I see that you don't have much money, it's better to save some money, don't waste it, the noodle stall over there saves money and has a large portion, and you will be able to get it over there." ”

Unable to enter the wine shop, Meng Yan glanced inside, the wine shop was full of friends, and it could be seen that they were all outsiders who came to participate in the entry selection, many of them were fathers and daughters, warriors with belts and weapons, and ordinary people, the number of people increased, which made the wine shop and inn in the store have more business, but there were also some ragged beggars at the door.

Among the beggars at the door, there was a pair of brothers and sisters who attracted Meng Yan's attention, there was nothing special about them, but their age made him look at them twice, that brother was about the same age as himself, and his sister was about eight years old and ten years old, and she combed two small braids, which should have been a little cute, but because of the dirt on her face, her clothes were so dirty that they changed color, which made people not want to take a second look.

That brother, who looked malnourished, was very thin, and had an erhu in his hand, he should be a guy who was eating, and he could have played a few songs to earn some rewards, but in addition to coughing again and again, his hands were shaking, and it was estimated that he had no ability to play music.

Meng Yan glanced at them twice, and found that the little girl with two braids had been staring at herself, so she picked the smallest silver ingot in her hand and threw it at the girl's feet, and then walked to the noodle stall, not paying much attention to it.

"Hey, little brother, you're a kind person, come to my house to eat a bowl of noodles, count you cheaper." ”

Among the six or seven noodle stalls, one of the stall owners stopped Meng Yan, it was an old lady with white hair, who was old, but her movements were very neat, and beckoned Meng Yan to sit down.

“...... Hey, mother-in-law, you really have to count me cheap before I come!"

"The old woman is old, do you need to lie to you young man? Are you here to sign up or to see the beautiful woman?"

"Look, look at the beauty?"

"Whatever it is, eat a bowl of hot noodles, warm your body, and get ready to go up the mountain. ”

There were many customers at the noodle stall, and Meng Yan didn't waste time, ordered a bowl of eel paste noodles and steamed buns, and ate it by himself.

Xuemei Town is attached to Qianxue Peak and exists, this month coincides with the triennial recruitment of disciples, and the whole town is boiling for this, not only the children of the town are gearing up and want to try their luck, but even the nearby villages and towns have many people who have made a special trip, and they can't enter the store at the moment, there are really a lot of people eating noodles around the nearby stalls, but their discussion makes Meng Yan frown.

"Qianxuefeng is a famous beauty school, in the past, it specialized in beautiful swordsmen, three years ago, I didn't catch up with the enrollment, this time I came here, just to catch up with this year's enrollment. ”

"Huh, although Qianxuefeng also accepts male disciples, but the rules are very strict, only accept teenagers under the age of sixteen, your brother has long been overage, and he didn't bring his female dependents, why did he rush over in a daze......? Coming to enlist as a handyman?"

"Hahaha, you see Lao Tzu's blessed face, is it the kind of material to be used as a handyman? Since Qianxuefeng is a beautiful woman, I made a special trip to see the beauty, maybe, I can kidnap a few to go home as a daughter-in-law. ”

"Wow, wow, don't talk nonsense, you step on other people's ground, how can you show respect, none of those goddesses and fairies in Qianxue Peak are vegetarians, it's not easy for you to marry one, and you say how many kidnaps? If they hear this, maybe you will fall down...... Qianxuefeng of this generation, but there are several spicy hands and feet, because they covet their beauty, there are many eunuchs who become eunuchs, your brother beware of not becoming the next one. ”

These words came into his ears, and Meng Yan was extremely depressed when he heard it, Mei Ying had never explained it before, and he didn't expect that Qianxue Peak was actually a female sect with yin and yang decline, although it was said that a small number of male disciples were also accepted, but it was not difficult to imagine that if he joined in so inexplicably, he would definitely become the focus of attention, and there would be a lot of troubles behind......

"But in addition to the beautiful women like clouds, the strength of Qianxue Peak itself should not be underestimated, the Aoki Ye family has eighteen tribes, and Qianxue Peak is definitely considered to be the top in strength, although there are not many people, but it is very united, and the comprehensive combat power should not be underestimated. ”

"Their cold jade skills are very powerful, although they are born from the ice heart of the Aoki Ye family, but they are better than the blue, and their unique cold jade weapons are also a must in the East Soil, whether it is a sword or a whip, they have created a lot of war exploits over the years, and anyone who mentions it in the East Soil must say good. ”

"If it weren't for this hard power, not so many people would have come, right? After all, this is just a small sect with less than a thousand people on a small hill. ”

"Within a thousand miles, girls with good qualifications and the right age have all been brought by the family, they don't vote for the larger Baihua Valley and Cold Spring Palace, but come to choose Qianxue Peak, the Ye family can have such a tribe, it is really a light on their faces. ”

Listening to more and more people, eagerly discussing topics related to Qianxue Peak, Meng Yan, who felt that he had heard enough, lowered his head and finished eating the noodles, and was thinking about how to go up the mountain, when suddenly a small hand reached out from the side of the table and grabbed the young man's steamed bun.
