Chapter 22 Jicheng Tavern

Jicheng, an ancient city in the eastern region of the ancient star in the early days, near it, there is a mountain, the mountain is thousands of feet high, even the peaks enter the sky, the perennial clouds and mist are shrouded, it is the place of leisure in people's mouths. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There is a faction in the mountains, called the Xiaoyao faction, since ancient Yandi legends, the freedom does not come out, who competes with each other, it is enough to see the status of the Xiaoyao faction in the Yandi.

Right now, in front of the tavern in the center of Jicheng, there are people coming and going, and many young people from Yandi are gathered here, and they want to enter the Yandi Freedom Sect and embark on the road of cultivating immortals.

"Baby, you must remember that after becoming a monk, you often go home to see, and don't forget your wife and me. ”

"Child, your father is incapable of becoming an immortal, so he is counting on you now. ”

"Brother, my physique is not up to par, not one of the five major physiques, just an ordinary mortal body, now our family can only count on you. ”

"Sister, once you pass, don't forget us. Get some pills back, so that we, the women in the market, can live forever. ”

In front of the tavern, people gathered in twos and threes, and kept saying some separate words. People know that once they enter the Loose Sect, they may not be able to meet these relatives or friends of immortal cultivators for as little as three years or as many as decades.

According to people's mouths, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and the first stage of cultivating immortals requires several years of hard work before they can learn the Tao and become a real immortal. After that, it will take decades to consolidate the realm. Among them, they rarely get together with their loved ones, and sometimes they must do it in one go, otherwise all the work done will be wasted.

However, in a few years or decades, their families have already grown old, or even turned into a handful of loess. Mortals have a limited lifespan after all, and in order to break through this limitation, they will embark on this path.

Therefore, most of the people who have entered the Freedom Sect to cultivate immortals are in their teens, or even less than ten years old. As the saying goes, when the young leave home and the eldest returns, the local accent has not changed and the sideburns have declined; children do not know each other, and they smile and ask where the guests come from. This is probably about the sorrow and helplessness of leaving home to cultivate immortals.

People on both sides of the street seem to be waiting for something. Previously, people got the news that the immortals of the Carefree Sect would go to the Jicheng Tavern to pick up the teenagers who wanted to cultivate immortals.

Suddenly, on both sides of the street, there was a commotion, and people's eyes immediately gathered together.

"Driving—" It was a fast horse, carrying a teenager, galloping down the streets, and in just a few breaths, it reached the Tavern of Jicheng from a distance.

"Phew—" The young man spoke, and the horse stopped in front of the Jicheng Tavern.

People's eyes once again focused on the boy.

I saw that the young man was lean, with oblique bangs covering the right half of his face, and a large knife on his back, flashing with a penetrating cold glow.

The boy walked with a slight limp on his right foot, which made people feel strange, so young, that he was actually a cripple.

"Who is he? fifteen-year-old, is he a genius of a certain family? is he also an immortal who has come to wait for the Loose Sect?"

"Look at it like that, if you are physically disabled, you will definitely not be chosen. ”

"Why don't I know him? He looks like he must have come out of the mountains. ”

People were talking about the boy and wanted to know where he came from. Fifty percent of the people who gather here come from well-known families in various places. They are well-informed, and most of the young people in Yandi who can participate in the cultivation of immortals, they all know them.

The family has the resources to cultivate immortals, and they will test the physique of their children first, so there will be people who continue to praise it, such as the young man of such and such a family, what kind of physique is suitable for cultivating immortals and so on. As for those poor people, the young people can only wait, enter the Loose Sect, and through specific methods, they can determine whether they belong to the physique of cultivating immortals.

The young man, ignoring the eyes of the people around him, walked straight into the Jicheng Tavern.

At this time, all these scenes had been captured by Qin Ming and Guan Shaoqing in the crowd.

After several days, the two finally came to Jicheng, and they heard that the immortals of the Freedom Sect would appear in the Jicheng Tavern, so they came here to wait.

"That young man is so strange?" Qin Ming touched his chin and pondered.

"Where did you come from, how did you dress like this?" Suddenly, someone walked towards Qin Ming and Guan Shaoqing and asked curiously.

When Qin Ming heard this, he subconsciously looked at his body, the clothes were completely different from those of the people around him.

These people, dressed in the ancient costumes of the ancient Chinese country, while they themselves are wearing modern clothes, which looks out of place compared with the people around them.

"We're from the Middle Realm, and this is my brother. Guan Shaoqing hurriedly replied, pulled Qin Ming without looking back, and walked into the Jicheng Tavern.

Seeing this, the man shook his head, as if he couldn't believe it, and said, "Even if it is the border of the Central Regions, millions of miles away from the Yan Land of the Eastern Regions, how can anyone come here and enter the Loose Sect?"

At this time, Guan Shaoqing pulled Qin Ming and walked towards the Jicheng Tavern. Qin Ming squinted at Guan Shaoqing, as if he was a little unhappy, and said, "Shaoqing, when will I become your younger brother, I remember that we were both born in the same year?"

When Guan Shaoqing heard this, he showed a sly smile: "Oh, Brother Ming, look at you, now there is no difference from those teenagers." I'm much taller than you, so I should be my brother again. ”

"Cut!"

The two of them laughed to themselves and entered the Jicheng Tavern.

In the tavern, there were not too many people, Qin Ming and Guan Shaoqing, found a place by the window, so that they could see the situation on the street. The shopkeeper wanted to come over to greet Qin Ming and Guan Shaoqing, but they were refused. The shopkeeper was helpless, just looked at the two with a strange look, presumably because their clothes were different from everyone else.

After a long time, Guan Shaoqing said a little mysteriously: "Brother Ming, look at the person in that corner, isn't it the young man who just got off the horse?"

Qin Ming followed Guan Shaoqing's finger and looked towards the corner of the tavern. It was the young man on the street before, and his knife was on the table at this time, with a hint of cold light, which was extremely penetrating.

Taking a sip of tea, Qin Ming shook his head, and his gaze at this time turned to a young man in another corner.

The boy looked like he was about fourteen or fifteen years old. But his face is like a crown of jade, his eagle eyebrows are wrinkled, and he has a bun on the top of his head, and a white hosta is inserted in the bun.

A green jade flute, revealing a small part, was carried diagonally behind him. A white paper fan, shaking from time to time.

Dressed in a long white robe, his black hair falls down to his back. Sitting alone in another corner, he looked a little lonely.

It's not so much that he's a teenager, but that his posture is more like an adult.

Qin Ming looked at this person in a daze, is this the temperament of an immortal cultivator? He always felt that that person had an aura of nothingness, giving people the appearance of being ethereal.

"Chen Ruofei, in the battle the day before yesterday, I lost to you, I am unwilling, I can do it here today, and I will do it again. The hoarse voice came into the ears of Qin Ming and Guan Shaoqing, and Qin Ming looked at it, it was the lame boy before.

At this time, the lame boy was slowly walking towards the man in the white robe. With a "pop-" sound, the back of the big knife slapped on the table.

"Yan doesn't return to brothers, you and I have grievances, and they have long been over. If you really want to compare, how about waiting for you and me to enter the Xiaoyao Sect together?" Chen Ruofei's face remained unchanged at all, he took a sip of tea, and looked at the lame young man, "What's more, it won't be long before the immortals of the Xiaoyao Sect will appear." ”

"Hmph!" the hoarse voice came again.

"It turns out that the young man in white is called Chen Ruofei, and the lame one is called Yan Bugui?" Qin Ming said in a low voice,

"You two, secretly behind your back, talking about others, what is the reason, do you want to let Master Ben teach you a lesson?" Before Qin Ming's words fell, he heard Yan Bugui's hoarse voice, and was about to look up, but he had already seen a big knife and slapped it on the table.

Qin Ming's heart was shocked, his voice just now was extremely subtle, and this place was also a few tables away from the location of the two of them. What I didn't expect was that Qin Ming's speech, Yan Bugui had already come to the front of the two, presumably, before that, the voices of the two had been heard.

Is this a person who cultivates immortals? There is such a miraculous power? Qin Ming's heart was flooded with monstrous waves, and he looked at Yan Bu with some incredulity.

At that moment, Qin Ming understood why there was a part of the bangs that covered most of the right half of his face.

Yan Bugui's right half of his face, if you look closely, under the bangs, there is a cross-shaped scar, obliquely engraved under the corner of the right eye.

It must have been through something that made it like this. Qin Ming pondered in his heart, but he was startled by Yan Bugui's shout.

"Boy, don't make Master Ben angry, otherwise, I'll chop you up!"

"No, we were wrong. Guan Shaoqing hurriedly played a round and said with a smile, "This little brother is really extraordinary, he actually appeared in front of us in an instant, and he could hear what we said from so far away." ”

"Yan doesn't belong to the brothers, don't worry about them. They are just ordinary mortals, and they have not yet opened up the sea of knowledge, and they are not enough to form a primordial god. Chen Ruofei also walked in front of Qin Ming and Guan Shaoqing, and patted Yan Bugui on the shoulder, "Presumably they are also here, seeking advice from the immortals of the Loose Sect, and embarking on the path of cultivation." ”

"But that's the case, I hope you two will forgive me, I'm really embarrassed. When Qin Ming heard this, he hurriedly put on a smiling face.

"Cut, mortals are mortals, they don't understand anything, they don't know how to speak, be careful, beware of killing in the future. Yan Bugui put away the knife and put it behind his back, "You two, if you can enter the Easy Sect, you will understand the dangers on the road to cultivating immortals." ”

When Qin Ming heard this, he didn't think that Chen Ruofei and Yan Bugui in front of him would be teenagers, judging from their words and deeds, they were obviously admitted.

"Okay, the hour is almost up, let's go out and wait and see, presumably the immortals of the Easy Sect are also about to arrive. Chen Ruofei snapped and unfolded the white paper fan, as if he was telling Qin Ming and Guan Shaoqing the news.

"Wait a minute, you two, where are you from?" Chen Ruofei just turned around, suddenly noticed something, turned around, looked at Qin Ming and Guan Shaoqing, and asked with some confusion, "It seems that you are not from the Eastern Regions?"

At the same time, Yan Bugui's eyes flashed with a strange look, looking at Qin Ming and Nangong Yu, and said, "Yes, Brother Ruofei, if you don't say it, I haven't noticed that these two people are dressed completely differently from us. ”

"Mid-domain. Qin Ming replied simply, this was Nangong Yu's way to tell Qin Ming, although he didn't understand why he said this.

"Zhongyu?" Chen Ruofei was a little suspicious when he heard this, staring at Qin Ming carefully, which made Qin Ming's heart a little furious, it must have been Chen Ruofei who found something wrong.

"What's wrong?" Qin Ming asked cautiously, afraid that Chen Ruofei would find out what was wrong.

"Nothing. Chen Ruofei put away his suspicious look and turned his head away.

The sound of "boom-" came, and after a few breaths, outside the Jicheng Tavern, dark clouds gathered, and then lightning fell, and it was at this moment that several figures flashed out of it.

Suddenly, the dark clouds dissipated, and the people in the streets rejoiced.

"Look at that, it's the immortal of the Carefree Sect, and it's really extraordinary!"

"Come on, baby, hurry up and let the immortals 'measure their bones', and then 'measure' to determine your physique and whether they are suitable for cultivating immortals. ”

At this time, Qin Ming and Guan Shaoqing had already come to the outside of the Jicheng Tavern, looking at the immortals in the center of the street.

They were dressed in white robes and holding swords, and among them was a woman, with black hair and no makeup, exuding an air of nothingness.

"You and other mortals are a team, and those who have been in contact with immortal cultivation are a team. The woman spoke, motioning to the people on the street to line up separately.

When Qin Ming heard this, he saw that Chen Ruofei and Yan Bugui were lined up together, and it had been determined before that the two of them were monks in people's mouths, so that team must have been in contact with immortal cultivators. Therefore, Qin Ming and Guan Shaoqing naturally lined up in the other team.

The people were quiet, all looking forward to the result, for fear of making a noise that would anger the immortals of the Loose Sect and make it impossible for their children to pass.

Qin Ming saw clearly, the team that had come into contact with the immortals, and a man among the several immortals touched his forehead, which could be regarded as understanding the situation of these people.

As long as the man nodded, the faces of those teenagers were extremely excited, and those who shook their heads were pale and left with heavy steps, not daring to make a sound at all.

Those who nod their heads naturally mean that they can enter the free school, and those who shake their heads naturally can't.

"Next. The crisp female voice sounded in Qin Ming's ears, and Qin Ming found that it was his turn.

The immortal in front of him was the only woman among the few.

The woman attached her hand to Qin Ming's forehead, pinched Qin Ming's arm again, and then said, "A mortal body, not suitable for cultivating immortals." ”

"Huh?" Qin Ming was stunned, he still didn't know some things about his physique, and from the woman's remarks, he was already able to determine that he couldn't enter the Easy Sect.

Qin Ming was unwilling and wanted to ask, but then he thought of something, and hurriedly took out a silk book, handed it to the woman, and said, "Sister Immortal, can you see if you can be accommodating?

"It's ...... Isn't Grandpa Xuan's handwriting? Didn't Grandpa Xuan fail in the crossing? How could it be...... The imprint of the Yuan Shen on this can't be wrong? Could it be ......?" the woman unfolded the silk book, and her face was surprised, "I am the Ling'er girl in your mouth, or not! Although I don't know, how did you know Grandpa Xuan, but for the sake of Grandpa Xuan's face, you can go to the stove room to be a fireman, and you can enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion at any time, read the ancient scriptures, and try to cultivate." ”

"As for the person behind you, it seems to be a mutated physique, I will bring it back and let the master make a decision. Miss Ling'er continued, apparently understanding the contents of the silk book.

"I really didn't expect that Nangong Yu was actually Miss Ling'er's great-grandfather?" Qin Ming was a little incredulous in his heart, looking at Guan Shaoqing. Guan Shaoqing just smiled, and the two followed an immortal man to the side, waiting for the end of this process.

I heard just now that Guan Shaoqing is a mutated physique, but Qin Ming was a little funny in his heart, Nangong Yu had already made a judgment before, Guan Shaoqing was a heavenly demon body. Although I don't understand, to what extent the mortal body is garbage, it is not suitable for cultivating immortals. But it seems that the heavenly demon body seems to be similar to the mutated physique in Ling'er's mouth, and it is actually able to cultivate immortals.

Time passed quickly, and all the teenagers were 'tested' and 'measured', and many of them left depressed, but more people showed joy on their faces.

Qin Ming found Chen Ruofei and Yan Bugui in the crowd, but he didn't expect that both of them had passed this process, and it seemed that they were preparing to go to Qingcheng Mountain.

"Those of you who have passed the requirements, close your eyes, and I will use the Five Elements Dafa to cross you to the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, and then you will go up the mountain on your own. You must know that cultivating immortals is persevering, and if you can't do it, it will be difficult to touch the level of 'Dao'. ”

Hearing Ling'er's words, Qin Ming couldn't help but have all kinds of speculations in his heart.

"The level of 'Dao', could it be like Mr. Nangong Yu?"
