Volume 1: Stepping into the Fairy Chapter 11, The Strange Old Man
Since there was a glimmer of life, Yi Xuan naturally refused to sit still, and without waiting for dawn, he ran to the gate of the talisman hall to wait. Finally, at three o'clock in the morning, the two gray-robed disciples opened the door, and Yi Xuan hurriedly prepared to break in.
"Stop, this is the main hall of the Talisman Pavilion, don't mess around!" A gray-robed disciple stopped Yi Xuan.
Yi Xuan's eyes rolled, he bowed, and replied: "This senior brother is polite! I am a new talisman handyman, and I am instructed by the steward Liao Feihu to ask Ge Lao to ask Ge Lao to send more people to the rune paper workshop, otherwise it will affect the handover of this month's rune paper, and trouble the two senior brothers to be accommodating!"
"It turned out to be arranged by Liao Feihu, then you can go in by yourself, go back quickly, there are a lot of prohibitions in the hall, don't break in, otherwise you will affect us, do you know?"
"Senior brother, don't worry, I found Ge Lao and said that I would leave, Brother Feihu also arranged a lot of errands for me today, if I don't go back quickly, I'm afraid I'll miss the hour!" Yi Xuan found a reason to prevaricate, slipped into the main hall, found the path in his memory to find Ge Lao's residence, and knocked lightly on the door a few times.
"Come in, who's coming to disturb my old man so early!...... Ahem......" Old man Ge Chuan coughed as he let Yi Xuan in.
"Old Ge save me......" As soon as Yi Xuan entered the door, he bowed his head to the ground.
"Oh, what's the matter, you kid is so tight-faced, why did you come to me for help?" Ge Lao asked strangely.
Yi Xuan explained his tragic situation to Ge Lao clearly, and begged Ge Lao to show him a way out.
"Hey! You have to bear the trouble you have caused yourself, what kind of thing is it to find me here! People didn't say that it must kill you, I think you better leave quickly!"
"Preventing me from attaining the Tao is tantamount to harming my life, if I leave the academy today, where will I go to find my immortal path again? Since Elder Ge also wants to stand by coldly, then I will go to the front of the main hall and wait for someone to arrest me, and let the many disciples of the academy see how my Fu Pavilion disciples are at the mercy of others and bullied by others!"
"You kid, you don't need words to provoke me! Hey, I haven't seen any big winds and waves, old man, what a glory it was to be born and die with the old pavilion master back then, and now this Fu Pavilion has fallen into a withered talent, and even a miscellaneous disciple can't protect it thoroughly! That's it, I'll show you a way out, whether you die or live depends on your own grasp!"
Yi Xuan got Ge Lao's guidance, kowtowed and thanked him.
According to the guidance provided by the old man, Yi Xuan came to a spiritual field built on the west side of the academy on the mountain, the field was full of endless golden spirit grass, and a bell-shaped flower was hung on the top of each spirit grass, under the light of the morning sun, shimmering with ten thousand golden glows, it turned out that the yellow bell grass used to process rune paper in the past few days was taken from here.
Yi Xuan cautiously walked across the ridge, walked out of the spiritual field, and came to a thatched hut with a fence as a wall and a grass hut, under the weeping willow in front of the thatched cottage, an old man in a narrow shirt and bare feet lay on a rattan chair with his eyes closed and rested in the sun.
"Didn't you just harvest a batch of yellow bellgrass a few days ago?
"Uncle, I'm not here to get the spirit grass. May I ask if you are Ke Zhenyang's senior?"
"What kind of seniors and juniors! Looking for Ke Zhenyang? You're late, this person has been dead for decades!"
"No, Elder Ge just said that I was asked to come here to find Senior Ke, why did I die?" Yi Xuan couldn't help but feel black when he heard the bad news.
"You said that Xiao Ge called you to find someone?" The barefoot old man stood up from the rattan chair, and Yi Xuan found that the old man's left leg was missing the sole of his foot, and his right hand was also broken at the wrist, supporting his body with a cane.
"It's Uncle Ge Chuan, the steward of the Talisman Pavilion!" Yi Xuan saw that the old man was physically disabled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, but was pushed away by the old man.
"I don't need your help, the old man's bones are still very tough! What kind of care, isn't he just a miscellaneous man, if Xiaoge hadn't followed me and the old pavilion master to that dangerous place back then...... Hey, it's not going to end up like this!"
The old man sighed when he brought up the past, and sat back down on the wicker chair.
"Since it was introduced by Xiaoge, you can tell the old man about something, do you want the old man to help?"
Yi Xuan told the story of being forced into slavery with Lian Jincheng again, and the old man's hair stood upside down and he was furious.
"How can this be reasonable, it's just too deceitful! What does this group of disciples want to become, you just stay here, see who dares to come to the old man to make trouble, and when I go back, I will go to Xiaoge to ask you to come over, and stay here to help me take care of these few acres of spiritual land. ”
"Thank you, uncle, ah no, thank you Senior Ke for taking you in!" Yi Xuan wanted to thank the old man again, but was stopped by the old man.
"Seeing that you kid also has a bit of backbone, don't learn the red tape of sour and rotten talents. It doesn't matter if you're bullied, your fists are hard, and you can fight back! I'm just taking you in for a while, if you want to hide here and be a turtle with a shrunken head for the rest of your life, it's better for the old man to slap you now!"
Yi Xuan had just settled down on Ke Zhenyang's side, but the talisman workshop had caused trouble......
"Young Master Lian, Young Master Lian, we really don't know where that kid from Yi Xuan ran to......"
"Yes, yes, we drove Yi Xuan out of the room according to your instructions the day before yesterday, and we wanted to take him to make amends to you early this morning, but who knew that he would be nowhere to be seen......"
Lian Jincheng took Lian Yinian to look for Yi Xuan's bad luck early in the morning, but when he thought of it, he was nowhere to be found, and he repeatedly tortured the people in the rune paper workshop to find nothing, and he was so angry that he beat Pang Hu, Monkey and others one by one, or Liao Feihu saw that it was wrong, and secretly asked someone to invite Ge Lao to support him.
"Young Master Lian, give these slack boys a little punishment, they have to rush to make talisman paper these days, the top is urgent, it is not easy to explain if the delivery is delayed, the disciples of the Punishment Pavilion came to our Talisman Pavilion to make trouble, and it is not good to hear it!" As soon as Ge Chuan entered the door, he stepped forward to stop him.
"You old ghost, don't think that if you take care of you, you want everyone to give you face, it's not good to be here with me! A few of them harbored the person I was looking for, there must be an explanation today!" Lian Jincheng said mercilessly.
Ge Chuan deliberately asked: "Oh? There is such a thing! Bold! How many of you dare to oppose the eldest prince of Lian, tell me quickly, who are you hiding?"
Liao Feihu replied with a bitter face: "It's the newcomer Yi Xuan, he offended Lian Gongzi, but he absconded in fear of the crime and didn't know where to go, leaving us with a few top cylinders, it was really unjustly killed, and I hope that Ge Lao and Lian Gongzi will be clear!"
Ge Chuan frowned, patted his thigh, and said, "It turned out to be this kid! Yesterday, Senior Brother Ke said that his Lingtian there lacked a helper, and I was worried about Senior Brother Ke's inconvenient legs and feet, so I sent Yi Xuan over early this morning!"
Lian Jincheng said disdainfully: "Don't use such a shoddy excuse to prevaricate me! Quickly send someone to escort that kid back to me......
