Chapter 076: The Real Status Quo
When Bai Xiuwu, the pig killer, looked at Li Xian, he stopped the pig killing knife in his hand, wiped his hands with a scarf, and looked at Li Xian emphatically.
grinned for no reason: "He looks quite delicate, not like a martial arts practitioner, but like a scholar." ”
Retracting his distressed expression, Li Xian greeted seriously, after all, he came to this Chaotian Sect to follow the footsteps of the ancestor Li Chaoge, how the Chaotian Sect is, how the sect master of the Chaotian Sect is, it will not prevent him from coming from thousands of miles this time.
"Uncle Bai, I'm Li Xian, from Qingyang City. "There is no apprenticeship, the word master Li Xian did not use it indiscriminately.
"Okay, okay, red beans, you take Li Xian to eat something first, Dad is busy now, and the business still has to be done, otherwise the family will drink the northwest wind." A guest came to inquire about the price of pork, and Bai Xiuwu, who was smiling and wrinkled, greeted the guest.
There is also a young man in front of the pork stall who is not very old and is helping to do business, Bai Hongdou introduced him as his junior brother Meng Xiaoguo.
A young man who looks good with a smile and looks quite good.
Meng Xiaoguo was a little shy, and the senior brother introduced it, but he was still embarrassed, so he just replied politely: "My hands are dirty, and my body is not clean, so I can't greet you at this time." ”
Bai Hongdou glared at Meng Xiaoguo: "Wow, Xiaoguozi, I can usually talk for a few days and nights with a clever mouth, but I'm embarrassed at this time." ”
Meng Xiaoguo didn't speak, scratched the back of his head, and helped greet the guests.
Sun Chengye took the two to a fairly good restaurant in Qingtai County and ordered a few local specialties.
also made an exception to pour a glass of wine for Li Xian, and said that he would have a drink today.
Li Xian tasted it, and it was okay, not to the extent that he couldn't eat it.
Bai Hongdou was worried all the way about whether this junior brother would run away directly when he saw the current situation of Chaotian Sect, and when she faced her father just now, she noticed Li Xian's expression, put down her chopsticks, and asked him seriously: "Senior brother, are you quite disappointed? Chaotian Sect is like this? My father, the sect master of Chaotian Sect, is still a pig killer, and it is not good to say it." ”
Li Xian and Sun Chengye touched a cup and put down the empty cup, he didn't hide it much, he said directly: "It's a little, I was mentally prepared before I came, but I didn't expect it to be like this." ”
"It's normal. Bai Hongdou nodded: "Chaotian Sect has not been very good all these years, and in my father's generation, even the most basic survival has become a problem." The top sects have countless resources and talents provided by the secular dynasty, and the second-class sects are not very famous, and the income from recruiting disciples is enough to support the operation of the sect, not to mention that these sects are good at dancing with long sleeves and live a very nourishing life. ”
"Further down, the third-rate and fourth-rate sects can barely survive, and occasionally one or two top talents can be produced, and slowly grow their strength and work towards the top of the sect. In the Xuantian Continent, there are countless sects, and the lowest ones are like Chaotian Sect, they have no fame, no resources, naturally they can't recruit disciples, and their income is impossible. The vicious circle has become what it is today. ”
"The senior brother is an orphan, and the second senior brother is also an orphan, just now you saw that Meng Xiaoguo was also picked up by my father, and Chaotian Sect added me four apprentices. Even if Chaotian Sect plus my mother have a total of six people who have to eat, they have to live. What should I do? Kill pigs, I have been doing a good job all these years, and our brothers and sisters rely on my father to get up early and stay late to support us. ”
"He's not even fifty, and now he looks like he's sixty or seventy, and he's tired. When the elder brother grows up, he can leave, but he doesn't, and he is not thinking about my father's nurturing grace. Senior brother, no, Li Xian, if you want to leave, don't be reluctant, Chaotian Sect is like this now, and it can't keep people. When I went back to Chaotian Sect in the evening, I said to my father, and he would agree; in fact, when I went there, I said that it might be a vain trip, but my father said that he would go anyway. ”
Li Xian, who drinks another glass of wine, has his own flavor.
It is no longer the young master of the Li family who has just arrived in Qingyang City, he is satisfied with the Li family's one-third of an acre, there is food and drink, and after a few years, he has three wives and four concubines, and he lives a peaceful life.
Fake Wan Gui came to the door, everything changed, sitting on the two godheads of Li Chaoge and Shang Hongye, it is difficult to want his wife and children to live a small life.
People in the rivers and lakes, they can't help themselves, how can they just talk.
Due to fate, he came to this long-declining Chaotian Sect alone, and what he could rely on was nothing more than his own chance creation and the efforts of a pair of hands.
What can Chaotian Sect help? How many useful things can that pig slaughterer master give?
Perhaps Li Xian has never thought about the way back since he decided to leave Liangzhou and come to the 800-mile Queerling. Leaving from here means that it is another Li Xian.
Most of the people who are unknown will not be famous, and being famous in the world is the only possibility.
Thinking about this, Li Xian smiled indifferently: "Since you are here, of course you will stay for a while, as for whether you will leave or not, I don't know yet, let's talk about it then." ”
Chaotian Sect has not had a single disciple over the years, and it is impossible to receive a new disciple if he wants to, of course he is happy to have one more person, but if he is unwilling, it is not interesting.
My mother said that those who want to leave can't stay, and those who don't want to go can't leave, isn't that how senior brother is?
I never felt that the father who killed the pig was cold, and the inconspicuous Chaotian Sect's tattered white red beans would only feel sorry for my father's hard work, and the words just now were not said with a sentimental mood, seeing Li Xian's natural smile, she also smiled: "Eat, it's cold." ”
A short walk away from Qingtai County, you will arrive at Qi'er Ridge, where Chaotian Sect is located.
The mountain paths are all paved with stone slabs, and there are no weeds on the roadside.
All the way up, the waterfall and the spring, the sound of the water bursts, the strange flowers and plants, the magnificent peaks, the staggered, like a picture scroll, to the halfway up the mountain, suddenly open up, more than a dozen buildings that are very magnificent in some years appear in front of you.
There is also a stone archway at the gate, and there are three quaint lines of the book Chaotianzong.
After entering the door, the ground was much flatter, and I went all the way to the main hall over there, and I cleaned it up.
Looking up, there are also a small number of buildings on several other not high mountains, Sun Chengye said, that are all Chaotian Sect heyday, there are special uses.
Either alchemy, or refining tools, stacking sundries, or where the masters of the sect retreat.
A big yellow dog galloped over, wagging its tail in front of the white red beans, and did not bark when he saw strangers, and turned around in front of Li Xian very friendly.
To tell the truth, Li Xian is quite satisfied with the scenery here, the landscape is picturesque, clean and chic, he has practiced here for a few years, tracing the footsteps of Li Chaoge back then, Li Xian's mood is far better than the moment of astonishment and disappointment when he met the pig killer Bai Xiuwu on the streets of Qingtai County just now.
Qi'er Ling, Chaotian Sect, and the Li Chaoge who shook the eternity, well, this is where I will stay for a long time in the future.
