Wang Dashi kowtowed, stood up, took the package, and left without looking back.

His heart fluctuated, vowing to learn fine crafts, earn enough silver, build a big house, and marry a bride; vowed to learn martial arts, protect himself, and not let Wang Lichang down, perhaps only in this way can he make up for a guilt in his heart. However, thinking of his nearly twenty years of age, thinking of his incompetent self, thinking of the poisonous sores on his face, thinking of his ugly appearance, thinking of those two marriages, and thinking of the recent prison disaster...... I couldn't help but feel discouraged, feeling inferior, sighing about the suffering that accompanies my life, and thinking deeply about when this inseparable suffering will retreat. For a while, he felt that human life in the world should be difficult, and it should be difficult.

"If you are not comfortable one day, encounter difficulties or hardships, you must persevere, it is God refining you!" Wang Lichang's words turned over in his mind. Wang Dashi knew that this was a word of encouragement, but this sentence gave him spiritual support and self-confidence. He dragged his firm steps and looked for the residence of Qingyu Mountain Flute Mushroom step by step.

Wang Dashi, who has always been quiet and withdrawn and inferior, has changed a little at the moment, he doesn't like to talk, and he blushes when he talks to strangers.

"I need to change myself, not the unlucky and frustrated Wang Dahan. What are you waiting for tomorrow, change, you need to start from now!" Wang Dashi thought silently, his steps much harder.

After half a month of exploration, Wang Dashi finally found this place - Qingyu Mountains. It is a beautiful and expressive place.

Under the lush green hills, the grass and flowers are fragrant. In the distance, there are rows of cottages and houses, and in the near distance are the peaks of the mountains. In the middle of the mountain, there is a religious hall, scattered with ancient temples, a group of simple and antique, exuding a thousand years of fragrance.

In the southeast of the hall, a long slope, such as a Wolong winding and circling, was split obliquely by the heavenly ghost axe halfway, there is Poziling, scattered with heavy yin qi.

Wang Dashi came to the front of the main hall.

Look at this hall closely, more majestic and magnificent, the outer wall is new, the dust is not clean, you can't see a trace of antiquity, the three words "local school" on the front of the door, strong and powerful. Wang Dashi was dumbfounded, he never thought that the majestic hall in front of him would be the place where he learned art, his heart fluctuated, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, and said silently: "It will be a great honor and pride in my life to be able to enter this local school." ”

Wang Dashi wanted to enter the main hall to apprentice, when he found that there was a big man standing outside the courtyard gate of the main hall, with a chubby figure, dragging a long beard under the remains, and the tail of the beard was obliquely slanted, as if hanging a broom, but there was a big mole like a black bean on the corner of his mouth, and a pinch of fine hair on the mole was circled and raised to the ear, which looked funny and obscene.

Wang Dashi has little knowledge, and thinks that he is a strange person, it should be the mushroom that Mr. Zhang said, so he will run to kneel down to worship the teacher, and then he found that under the steps of the main hall, there are nearly 100 people kneeling, some carrying swords, some holding chickens, ducks, cats and dogs, some are lame, and some are blind...... He was stunned: "What are these people doing, why are they all kneeling?I, why am I standing here?" subconsciously felt offended, shrunk his head and ran down the steps, blending into the crowd.

Not long after Wang Dashi knelt down, he peeked at the man with the sword beside him and asked, "This, this master, you, why are you kneeling here, do you need to kneel here every day to learn a craft?"

The man disdained to talk to him, and said, "Don't bother me!"

Wang Dashi was rushed by this, and his mood fell to the bottom, thinking: "I am outside, I must not cause trouble, and I must not cause trouble." ”

Not far from him was an elderly blind old man, who looked very kind, Wang Dashi asked quietly, "This old man, what are you doing here?"

The blind man smiled and said, "Isn't this a local sect, in the middle of the way, a well-known native sect! I heard that a notice for recruiting disciples was posted here, so I came over to see if there was any chance to be chosen to join the church!"

Wang Dashi said: "Yes, I will definitely be selected!"

The blind man snorted and said, "Hmph, I asked around, and you were the only one who said that I could be selected!" He was full of eagerness, and then said: "Hehe, do you know, the local mushroom...... Hey, this person is a folk god, he knows everything, he understands everything, if we can learn one of her skills, only one is needed, hehe, we can rely on this skill to fill our stomachs for a lifetime—— hey, boy, you have read the notice posted here, help me see it, what is written, read it to me. ”

Only then did Wang Dashi notice the fundraising list posted in front of the courtyard.

There are a lot of words on the recruitment list, accounting for more than half of the rice paper, Wang Dashi vaguely saw a few words, and with the exploration in his heart, he finally figured it out.

Wang Dashi told him: "The local sect has been teaching in the mountains for a long time, and has just built a local hall. ”

The blind man nodded: "Hey, you kid is good, you should be drafted." I'm blind, I just asked a few people who either didn't answer, and some of them actually lied to me!"

Wang Dashi also realized that these kneeling people were all candidates who came to recruit after the great name of the mushroom not far away.

The big man on the steps is a distant virtuous nephew of Leng Mushroom, named Huang Xiuxian, and there is also an elegant name called: Xiuxian Jushi. It is said that he was instructed by Leng Mushroom to cultivate weasels and had a weasel spirit attached to his body. And the conscripts holding chickens, ducks, cats, and dogs in the audience are trying to join the school to study, and cultivate these beasts to become spiritual animals. At this moment, a weasel sprang out from the courtyard gate, raised its head and tail, flicked its hind feet, jumped on Huang Xiuxian's shoulder, and then turned around and released a wisp of green smoke. Seeing that there are many people, this beast is showing off his strength, but this wisp of green smoke can confuse and quietly make people enter the illusion. The immortal cultivator stretched out his palm and gathered the green smoke, which swirled into a small circle and was held in the palm of his hand.

The crowd applauded.

Wang Dashi looked at it, and thought to himself that the cultivators of the immortals were so powerful, and the mushrooms of the local sect were even more amazing.

Legend has it that when the mushroom was born, it was covered in bruises, with a crooked face and folded legs, and was identified as a purple-faced monster. The parents of the mushroom were expelled for giving birth to a monster, and the family had just left the village, when a flash flood occurred in the local area, the village was flooded overnight, and the lucky ones moved to other places. After that, the mushroom was a natural god who guarded the villagers...... Spread more and more. Now, the mushroom is already in the age of ear shun, in good spirits, and with dark black hair, it indicates the longevity of Yin Ze. She was born with inexplicable spiritual powers, which can predict cloudy rains and natural and man-made disasters, and in addition, she is well versed in the essence of miscellaneous arts.

The monk stroked his beard and said to the people who had applied at the foot of the steps: "You have been waiting for a long time, and it is really hard to come from thousands of miles away! Today, on an auspicious day, the new hall of the local sect has been successfully completed, and hereby we will recruit those who are destined." However, Master Leng Mushroom has already pinched his fingers and calculated, and there will be a master who will join my teaching and join our line today, and I hereby instruct ......"

The group of people looked at the stage, guessing, and they didn't know where to go.

The cultivator said: "Master Lengmushroom instructed that those who are blind and lame are not allowed to enter the teaching, those who carry a knife in their hips and a sword on their backs are not allowed to enter the teaching, and those who hold livestock in their hands are not allowed to enter the teaching. ”

The meaning of this is that these people will not be selected as disciples of the local sect.

As soon as the cultivator closed his mouth, he only heard a symphony of clanging sounds, the sword fell to the ground, and chickens, ducks, dogs and cats were scattered everywhere.

Some of them were not convinced, and asked, "Why don't you give us a religion, why don't you take us as disciples, and where should we go when we come from afar?"

Xiuxian Jushi replied: "Leng Mushroom instructed, she calculated that there will be high-quality materials coming! We have been waiting for the 'local school' to gallop on the road for decades, and it is the Leng Mushroom Master who cultivates intensively, and the Leng Mushroom Master selects apprentices, and he must be an elite talent!"

The man who spoke just now looked around, and then said: "The native sect is a well-known sect in the Tao, which has built a Protestant church and recruited talents, but abandoned hundreds of people who have come from afar to apply, so who do you want to recruit after all, who is that talented person, and who is it?"

The cultivator smiled and pulled the fine hairs on the side of his mouth: "Master Lengmushroom is wise, her calculations are never wrong!"

"This is too unfair, isn't it that you local factions don't like us and send us away at will, you say that there are masters coming, let's see the masters coming, it's not too late to leave!"

"It's not too late to go, it's never too late to go......"

At this time, two people came out of the door of the local faction, a fat man and a thin man, dressed as ordinary peasant amateurs. Wang Dashi recognized it when he caught his eyes, the fat man was Dafu Right, the thin man was Dafu Zuo, and on the wedding day of marrying Meixi, it was the unification and palm ceremony that they did.

Dafuzuo walked to the front of the stage, unfolded the paper scroll, and recited: "According to the instructions of the mushroom, what we should recruit is - nose, high ears, big three eyes, catkins petals, people from the West please stay, and the yin and yang on both sides are virtuous." ”

Dafuku right continued: "Only those who have such conditions are the object of our selection today, and they must be a young man who is very smart and excellent! Hmph, you peasants are weak, hurry back, hurry back, don't delay the seedling watering in the afternoon!

The group of people felt quite strange, could it be that there was such a person, looking around, there was not even a figure around, and they couldn't help but show doubts.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from the lonely empty mountain, looking towards the west side, and seeing two young men on horseback, it was a jasper year, and the wind was luxuriant. The bridge of the nose is high, the ears are large, the eyes are deeply sunken, the eyebrows are thick, and the foreheads are red with plum, reflecting the clear big eyes, just like the "three eyes". In addition, the two traveled a long distance, their hair was sticky to the catkins, and their cloaks were embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, which were gorgeous and flamboyant.

The two look the same and dress the same, they can't tell you and me, this is just like the object selected by the mushroom master, as the so-called: nose and high ears and big three eyes, catkins petals and spots, people from the West please stay, and the yin and yang on both sides are virtuous.

The crowd was amazed and admired the magic of the mushroom calculation!

Wang Dashi watched the two dismount, happy and disappointed, he was happy that the local faction was looking for his talents, and his loss was that he had no chance.

He lamented......

He was lonely, lost, and helpless......
