Chapter 10 Please go up the mountain
The south of Anzhou is the Chu State, there is a Changfeng Mountain Range, which lies on the west side of the Chu State, and the overall mountain range winds for tens of thousands of miles.
In the meantime, there are many strange peaks and mountains, deep mountains and wild temples, and there are immortal strange people who practice in the mountains.
And Fang Gui inquired all the way to find, is located in the middle of the Changfeng Mountain Range a strange peak, there is a spiritual mountain here, towering into the clouds, the fairy spirit lingers, the momentum is like Taibai drunk, so it is called Taibai Mountain, and in this mountain, there is a side of the Xianmen Daotong is located, because the mountain is named, it is called the immortal name Taibai Zong.
This sect was established not long ago, but it has a great reputation, and is known as one of the five great immortal sects of the Chu State.
Fang Gui didn't know about the heritage and reputation of this Taibai Sect, he only knew that this was a serious immortal gate, he could teach himself the immortal method, and the recommendation book he took from the old woman in black didn't know if it was useful, if it was useful, he would take this opportunity to worship the immortal gate, if it was useless, then he had to go back and think of a way, he always had to go in and practice well!
Along the mountain path, Fang Gui walked all the way to the mountain, picked a sour date along the way, took out a bird's egg, set off from the town under the mountain, walked for most of the day, and found that there was a boundary monument at the end of the mountain road, the book "Taibai Zong" three big characters, and then go forward, you can see a mountain gate arched high, behind the mountain gate, the fairy mist is ethereal, and you can vaguely see that there are endless buildings to cover.
"Hey, it's really the kind of fairy spirit that the blind man Zhu said......"
As soon as he saw the mountain gate, Fang Gui also felt a little happy in his heart, and it seemed that it was worth it.
With more strength under his feet, he strode towards the mountain gate, but before he could get close to the mountain gate, he suddenly heard a loud shout from the front: "Taibai forbidden land, idlers are not allowed to enter, where is the little flower child, do not trespass on the fairy gate, go down the mountain quickly!"
Fang Gui looked up in amazement, and saw that on both sides of the mountain gate in front of him, two green-robed Daoists came out.
The two of them are in their twenties, carrying a long sword behind their backs, their hair is combed into a bun, they look slender and straight, they say that they are Taoist robes, but they are not like the gossip Taoist robes that the blind man Zhu said about the fortune teller.
"Ah, haha, the two senior brothers are so ......"
Fang Gui was not ignorant, he knew that this was the gatekeeper of the Taibai Sect, although he was scolded for being called Huazi, but he was not angry, but instead put on a smiling face, hurriedly waved at these two people, and said, "I came from a long way to come to apprenticeship......
"Apprentice?"
The two gatekeepers looked at each other, and both felt a little ridiculous.
Look at Fang Gui dressed in rags, his little face is black, he really looks like a flower child, such a poor person, dreaming of worshipping into the immortal gate and soaring to the sky, they can see a lot, it is these people who usually guard the mountain gate, and now they naturally regard Fang Gui as one of them, the slightly plumper figure on the left waved his sleeves and said: "Less daydreaming, go down the mountain quickly!"
"Why do you want to pick someone up directly?"
Fang Gui was stunned for a moment, but he still held his temper and said, "I really want to apprentice, I have a letter of recommendation from the Lingnan Hu family......
As he spoke, he hurriedly took out the letter and held it in his hand.
Thinking in his heart, the Lingnan Hu mother-in-law didn't know if her face was big enough, no matter what, she had to send her recommendation letter into the Xianmen first, but she didn't expect that when the two mountain guards heard his words, they were even more dumbfounded, and the person on the right side was slightly thin: "I don't know where you heard about the Lingnan Hu family, don't blow the atmosphere, so as not to get into trouble!"
As he spoke, he didn't even give a report, and with a flick of his sleeves, he pushed Fang Gui out a few feet away and sat on the ground.
The other party didn't make a ruthless move, and he pushed it with skill, and he didn't mean to hurt anyone.
For these two gatekeepers, the reputation of the Lingnan Hu family was naturally heard, but when they saw Fang Gui like this, they didn't believe that this little flower was really recommended by the Lingnan Hu family.
After all, with the identity of the Lingnan Hu family, the person he knows is either rich or expensive, how can he guarantee for an inconspicuous little Huazi, just a little Huazi who has heard the reputation of the Lingnan Hu family from somewhere, especially the letter in his hand, crumpled, black, it seems to have been picked up from somewhere, the Lingnan Hu family is writing a letter of recommendation, how can it be such a child's play?
As the people who guard the immortal gate, they have seen a lot of all kinds of whimsical people who want to worship the immortal gate.
You can't just come to a little flower, holding a piece of broken paper in your hand, saying that they were promoted by the Lingnan Hu family, and they will go in to report it, once there is an oolong, the two of them will run in vain, and it will inevitably become a joke in the fairy gate when they turn back!
"I didn't even want to deliver a letter......
However, when Fang Gui saw the other party's attitude, a wave of ignorance rose, and he was angry in his heart, his eyes were about to roll, and he wanted to get angry, but he endured it.
He didn't say anything, snorted, got up, turned around and left.
The other party put such a big score for himself, even if he can explain it, he won't explain it.
"Since I can't get in if I beg for it, then Master Fang, I have to let the two of you welcome me in......"
When the two gatekeepers saw that he was gone, they confirmed their conjectures, looked at each other, and laughed silently.
Fang Gui made up his mind in his heart, so he no longer talked nonsense with these two dogs, but trotted back to the town at the foot of the mountain, touched his pocket, only to feel heavy, and then put his heart down.
Before leaving, he touched more than 30 taels of silver from the rich gentleman who was not long-eyed, and now after spending all the way, there are still 200 taels left, and he knows in his heart that if he wants to enter the gate of Taibai Sect in a dignified manner, he will rely on these silvers.
Fang Gui walked around this town, came to the storefront of the hired carriage shop, observed for a long time, walked in, put on the appearance of an uncle, knocked on the counter and said, "Uncle Ben, I want to rent the best carriage you have here!"
Behind the counter, the lean shopkeeper who was very shrewd at first glance hurriedly walked out: "Where did the little ...... come from?"
Before he finished speaking, Fang Gui threw a few dozen taels of silver on the counter and said, "Is there a problem?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile on his face: "...... Where did you come from, and what kind of carriage do you want to hire?"
"The best kind, the kind where the immortals on the mountain sit!"
Fang Gui was very satisfied with the shopkeeper's answer, and said roughly that he had noticed before he came, this town was far away from the surrounding villages and towns, but it seemed very wealthy, there was no doubt that he was used to doing business with the immortal gate on the mountain, and the people who entertained him on weekdays were not the immortals on the mountain, or the people who came to apprentice, and he knew the mountain very well, and with them, he was not blind.
And the shopkeeper, although it is true that he has a lot of dealings with mountain people who practice on weekdays, but it is really rare to throw out more than 30 taels of silver to hire a carriage at a time, and he is so happy that he can't keep his mouth shut, so he doesn't care where the money comes from, who is this rich and wealthy child who looks like a little flower child, just said with a smile on his face: "What else does the little master command?"
Fang Gui pondered for a long time, and then threw out dozens of taels of silver: "How about helping this little master buy a few clothes?"
The shopkeeper waved his sleeves and accepted the silver, and said with a smile: "It's all a trivial matter!"
Fang Gui threw away a few dozen taels of silver: "Would it be good to hire a few more good-looking maids?"
The shopkeeper's smiling eyes were only slit: "No problem!"
Fang Gui carefully thought about the appearance of Gongzi Jia he had seen at that time, and threw dozens of taels: "I also need a few decent followers!"
The shopkeeper kept saying, "Just look at it!"
Fang Gui really threw out more than a hundred taels of silver, and he really put his mind at ease and sat down at the table in a big way!
The town under this fairy gate, because of the survival of the fairy gate, is afraid of the power of the fairy gate, but it is more regular than other places, in other places, a child of his own exposure of wealth, may cause some trouble, but this town has seen more strange people in the fairy gate, and also seen more rich and noble people, but the crooked mind is a lot less, and he threw out the money in vain, but he can rest assured.
After waiting for about an hour, I saw the neighing of horses outside, and when I got to the door, I saw a few tall horses, luxurious carriages, three or five beautiful waiters, burly and strong men, all of whom were waiting at the door.
When Fang Gui saw it, he was very satisfied.
He doesn't know the market, even if it is a rich and noble family, it is only a few dozen taels of silver to buy these carriages and horses, and he shot this time, it is hundreds of taels of silver, plus it is only a hire, even if it is sent to the mountain gate, it is really generous, of course, this shopkeeper is not a good person, but even if half of it is swallowed, the rest is enough.
The maid is actually the top girl in the town's Yanliu Lane, the servant guard, in fact, is the cousin of the shopkeeper of the carriage and horse shop, and the shopkeeper of the carriage and horse shop is personally in battle, and is the butler of Master Fanggui, although this group of people is patchwork, but when Fang Gui boarded the carriage, when a group of servants escorted and swaggered forward along the mountain road, it really changed his appearance!
But said that the two disciples of the Taibai Sect guarding the door, just drove away a whimsical want to break into the fairy gate of the little called Huazi, is bored talking there, now is not the time for the Taibai Sect to accept disciples, there are few visitors, they are relaxed, just thinking about the post, they went to the town to find a place to drink and chic, but did not think, before the time to change jobs, I saw that on the mountain road below, there was a carriage surrounded by slaves.
I saw that the carriage was very exquisite and luxurious, the horses in front of them were very heroic, the slaves on both sides were also dressed in new clothes, high and colorful, and the curtains were slightly shaking, and it could be seen that several maids in the carriage were serving a prince.
Even if it is a few prominent people who usually come to visit Taibai Sect, it is rare to be able to go up the mountain with such a battle.
The two of them also paid a little attention to it in their hearts, greeted them from afar, and said loudly: "Under the Taibai Sect, who is coming?"
Next to the carriage, a person who looked like a housekeeper hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, greeted him, and said: "The son of this family is the young master of the Fang family in Niutou City, and he has been recommended by the nobles to come to the Taibai Sect to apprentice, and there is a recommendation here, and the immortal master is invited to hand it to the door......"
Seeing that the other party said politely, although the son in the carriage did not even show his face, these two gatekeepers should also be the other party's noble status, and put up a score, but they did not dare to slack off, and the person guarding the door on the right took the letter of recommendation and said, "Please wait!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly went to the door to deliver the letter, and the man guarding the mountain on the left said politely: "Please wait inside the mountain gate!"
As the carriage drove through the door, a chuckle suddenly sounded in the car, looking very proud!
