Volume 1: Initial Cultivation Chapter 3: Disciple Quota
As expected by Ergou, Ye Daring took the lead, walked to the door of the main hall, stopped, Ye Daring put down the burden on his shoulders, clasped his hands into fists, and shouted loudly.
"Villain Ye is bold, meet the Taoist!"
"Villain Ye Five..."
"Villain Ye Wei..."
"Villain Ye Yan..."
"Meet the Taoist... Meet the Taoist..."
In Qingshan Village, it is also called Yejia Village, because the people born and raised in the village are all surnamed Ye, and only a few people who come to settle in other villages have different surnames.
For a while, the sound of the visit was like a surging tide, the two dogs behind the stone statue widened their eyes, with a look of disbelief, the old Taoist priest in his impression had never been so majestic as today, and his heart had a point on the old Taoist priest's boastful bull letter.
"I already know the purpose of your visit, so go back and wait for my news!" The old Taoist priest sat on the futon, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to have a calm and indifferent look, but in fact, he was squinting at the things sent by these people, and secretly he was already swallowing his saliva wildly.
"Daoist, this is a thin gift I have prepared for you, it is not a respect, I hope to accept it with a smile," a villager stopped hearing this, and hurriedly took out a piece of shiny ham meat from his burden, and hugged it in front of the old Taoist priest with both hands like a treasure.
"Well said, well said," the old Taoist priest coughed lightly, nodded pretendedly, and motioned for him to put the ham down.
When the man heard this, he immediately smiled, and said, "If the Taoist chief likes it, there are two pieces at home, and I will bring them to you together." The villain's name is Ye Qing. ”
Someone started, Ye Daring was naturally not to be left behind, he opened everyone with both hands, held a pot of wine in one hand, and offered it with both hands, "Dao Chief, this is a good wine buried by my father twenty years ago, and there are only two pots in the entire Qingshan Village." ”
"This is good, this is good!" The old Taoist priest was excited when he heard the two pots of old wine, and he couldn't help but lose his voice and his eyes glowed green, as if he was a greedy worm on his brain, and he swallowed his saliva vigorously.
"What's your name?" the old Taoist priest coughed lightly to hide his gaffe.
"The villain's name is Ye Daring, and the Taoist is remembered. Ye Daring saw this move of the old Taoist priest, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he replied respectfully.
"Good to say, good to say," the old Taoist priest nodded, motioning for him to go down.
"Dao Chief, this is a Ganoderma lucidum that the villain went into the mountain hunting ground..."
Ergou doesn't know what's wrong, almost all the big families in the village have come to offer treasures to the old Taoist, these individuals don't put him in their eyes at all on weekdays, and even a mouthful of leftover porridge won't be given to the old Taoist priest to eat, what's wrong with these people today, I always feel weird in my heart.
Until noon, the people who came to offer treasures and gifts left one after another, the second dog was already hungry at this time, and waited until the villagers left, he showed his head, and was shocked by a lot of things in front of him, these things have rice, wine, meat, game, all some good things, the two dogs thought about these things carefully enough for their family of three for more than half a year.
"Old man, you've sent it!" Ergou said in shock as he looked at the things piled up all over the ground.
"Hehe, little meaning, little meaning, now I know that the old Taoist is amazing!" The old Taoist priest touched his beard proudly, and picked up the two pots of wine that Ye Daring gave and was about to open it.
"Ouch, this is wine that has been sealed for twenty years, I don't know what it tastes like!" The old Taoist priest looked reluctant, and his eyes were shining, looking very funny.
"Wait, I'll go get some food," Ergou also licked his lips, he had never drunk it, the old wine from twenty years ago, looking at the old Taoist priest looking like a treasure, his heart was also itchy.
After a while, the second dog served the food from the kitchen, which was the meal he had made early in the morning, and the villagers did not have time to eat it, but now they can eat it, and brought two bowls, the old Taoist priest opened the wine jar, and suddenly a rich and silky wine fragrance floated from the altar, and it will make people intoxicated when they smell it.
"I'm coming, I'm coming," Ergou couldn't wait to snatch the wine jar from the old Taoist priest's hand, and felt that the huge wine jar was not heavy, and looked into the jar, only to see that there was a thick liquid flowing slowly, not like wine at all, but similar to snot.
The second dog poured the wine jar for a long time, and finally the viscous liquid filled a bowl, and there was nothing in the wine jar.
"What is this?" Ergou asked suspiciously.
"Hey boy, you don't know this, this is called old wine, it is the essence of wine," the old Taoist priest said and snatched the wine bowl away while the second dog was not paying attention, and took a sip gently, making a sound of endless aftertaste.
Ergou looked at his appearance, couldn't help but pick up the wine bowl and take a sip, and suddenly a long feeling of reluctance slowly flowed from the tip of the tongue to the stomach, the taste was really delicious, but as soon as he took a bite of his stomach, a feeling of dizziness was transmitted from his head to various organs of the body, and his eyes became ghostly.
"It's... This wine... Good... Quite... Awesome!" Ergou stammered with a hiccup.
"Hehe, this wine is okay, I haven't drunk such wine for many years," on the other hand, the old Taoist priest didn't have anything to do, and sighed while drinking the old wine.
"He... They... Why... To send... You... Thing...", the second dog asked, dizzy, stammering.
"Hmph, why! for a place!" the old Taoist priest snorted lightly.
"What... Name...?"
"Of course, it's the quota of the disciples of the Wangyun Sect!" The old Taoist priest drank slowly, not at all as clear as before, as if he had changed someone.
"Immortals... Disciple... Name... Forehead... And you... What's... Off..."
Before the second dog finished speaking, he finally couldn't help but fall on the table and make a whirring sound.
It turned out that in Qingyun County, Qingshan Village, and even wider territory belonged to the strength of the Wangyun Sect, and whether it was in the county seat or in the villages and towns, as long as there were some famous and prestigious people, there would be a place to recommend a disciple to the Wangyun Sect every ten years.
In addition to the village chief in Qingshan Village, there is also an old Taoist priest who has been in the mountains for many years, although it is not very good now, but in Qingshan Village before, the low position of the old Taoist priest and the low position of the village chief are equally equal, and Wangyun Sect will also leave him a place every ten years. Every ten years when the period comes, there will always be a lot of people who send a lot of things in order to get this place, no wonder the old Taoist priest was so calm before.
Ergou has never seen an immortal, but he has seen a lot of descriptions of immortals in the book, he has read a description of immortals in a fairy essay, it is said that immortals can fly in the sky, can call the wind and rain, can also live forever, infinite power, can move mountains, can reclaim the sea...
After taking a sip of wine, Ergou slept for a whole day, and when he woke up again, it was already night, and he had a dream in this night, in which he became an immortal in his fantasy, and he took his parents to step on the seven-colored clouds, standing in the sky, and was worshiped by thousands of people.
He is no longer an ominous person in people's mouths, but has become a god in people's hearts...
It wasn't until he woke up from his dream that the corners of the two dogs' mouths were still grinning, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the moonlight shining through the big hole in the roof bowl, only to find that it was already dark, and patted his dizzy head, remembering that he had fallen asleep because of a sip of old wine.
"Old Taoist, old Taoist!" Ergou looked around, but did not see the figure of the old Taoist, so he looked around.
Coming to the main hall, on the wooden chair, the old Taoist priest lay on the wooden chair, sleeping soundly, holding a lot of food in his arms, and a wine bowl was placed in front of him, and the wine in it was empty to drink, leaving a faint aroma of wine.
Seeing this, Ergou smiled dumbly, carefully put down the food in his arms, and found a fur coat to cover him.
Then I cleaned up the mess on the ground, and when I was done with everything, I heard the sound of gurgling protest in my stomach.
Ate something casually, it was late at night, and after seeing that the old Taoist priest was still sleeping soundly, there was no sign of waking up, and the second dog went to find a quilt to cover his body before going into the house to sleep.
Although lying on the bed, he didn't feel a little sleepy, thinking that the old Taoist priest seemed to say something about the quota of immortals, could it be that these villagers came to give him gifts for that quota, these people are high on weekdays, look down on their family, look down on the old Taoist, and even avoid it every time they see it. would be so low for a place, but the second dog saw it with his own eyes during the day, and Ye Daring, who was arrogant and domineering on weekdays, had a flattering look.
"If I can also be a disciple of an immortal, how good it would be, I guess I can also become an immortal, calling the wind and rain, flying to the sky, killing demons and demons, and my parents will never be looked down upon again..."
Ergou looked at the starlight shining through the hole in the roof above his head and fantasized about it, and unconsciously fell asleep.
